An angel in a packet of Kudu biltong

 

There were two funny, and humbling, synchronicities around today’s reading. Most of the reading was focused on inviting T to rest and ‘be soothed’, as she was trying to achieve a lot from a low base of energy, thereby exhausting herself. After the reading she told me that she had decided just last week, to rest and take some pressure off herself, as the focus for her month. Clearly she had sensed already what was in her highest interest, before even coming to a reading (it happens so often).

 

Right at the end of the reading, there was a small piece of practical advice to T – it would do you good to eat meat from game at the moment, she was told. It is very different from eating domestic animals, which are born to become produce, and will assist you to ground, but still remain light. Her smile was huge as she told me afterwards that on Friday her mum had given her a big packet of Kudu biltong…she already had what she was being invited to eat!

 

This raises four fascinating points for me:

 

·         Your higher self communicates to you all the time, not just through channels, or teachers or spiritual books. T had just felt like she needed to rest for a while and this was exactly what her higher self confirmed was in her best interests. As the readings always say – your desires are the signature of your divinity – there’s actually no need to look anywhere else (though admittedly the confirmation can be fun!)

·         Often we categorise things (and people for that matter) into what is ‘spiritual’ and ‘not spiritual’. So, for example, vegetarianism and Deepak Chopra fall into the former category and Coca-cola and Robert Mugabe into the latter. But here, in a reading (and it’s not the first time) someone is specifically being encouraged to eat meat. This is not to say that eating meat is therefore spiritual and we should all go out and do it for immediate enlightenment. It’s instead an indication that, inherently, everything has its ability to serve someone in some place at some time. Disregarding anything, or anyone, as unspiritual limits our ability to benefit from them.

·         T hasn’t always had an easy relationship with her mom and would probably not describe her as one of her teachers, yet she was the one who handed T the gift of something she really needs at the moment. Our learning, or gifts, or support can come in ANY package, through any person, even the least likely. Keep your eyes, eyes and heart open for where love is going to show up next….

·         And, lastly, I was reminded that you probably already have what you need right now.
