The Teacher Lies Within...
I just love the quote from Ram Dass, “Treat everyone you
meet like God in drag.” Everyone whom you come into contact with each moment by
moment of the day has a message for you. It’s all about tuning inwards to
hearing it. Things might not actually seem what they might seem. It’s once when
we loose the mental drama of our own minds can we actually see past the
illusion of separation.
Lately, I’ve been thinking about the “teacher energy”. I
don’t mean the label of that I’m a teacher, per say that I have a piece of
paper claiming that I have a degree, but more the fact that I have a gift for
really helping others out. I’m starting to really see this. The signs have been
there all along for me to see it; recently my mother has been telling me how
she keeps on hearing how great I’m through her friends and people whom she
comes into contact with or the fact that I can see that people really do light
up when they see me. I’ve been saying to myself that my inner work is really
working. Oh, yes the inner work of sitting with myself by meditation and
listing to myself by tapping into my higher self, God, Uni-verse or what ever
you would like to call it energy.
I just tend to pop up at the right moment from time to time
to really reach out. Spontaneous right action as some would call it. The other
day I was having coffee with a dear old friend. Before we actually got to catch
up, a beautiful moment aroused when we got talking to someone else. The
conversation led me to reach out to help this person and her son by sharing
with them my own personal experience of dyslexia and educators and not “fitting
in”. I was happy to have the chat and knew that I really reached out to them. I
shared with them that the battles that I faced during my schooling and that I
knew that my intuition or “inner knowing” helped me to overcome it. I was
grateful that I had the courage to reach out and to share my own experience as
a source of hope. I was able to use some of that “woo woo” energy as in taking
a holistic approach to reach out. My intuition leads me to start to channel
certain things from animals and art therapy to help out besides more advanced energy
healing work. Honestly, I felt a great sense of joy from reaching out. The
teacher lies within. It really does. Just showing up and helping another out
when the moment lies really is a gift within itself.
