For over a year, from late 2011 until Fall 2012, I was anticipating our trip to Sedona, AZ. We had briefly driven through the red-rock town years earlier, when driving our daughters to the Grand Canyon on another vacation. This time was different ... I had a deep knowing that this trip was going to be a spiritual experience. Yet, I didn't have any notion of what that would look like.
Within our first few hours there, something amazing (life-changing in fact) DID happen ... not at a vortex, or in a crystal shop, or at a spiritual event, but in the grocery store. We were staying in a condo with a full kitchen, and after checking in, headed to the grocery store to get breakfast and lunch ingredients.
We split up to get the few items we wanted more quickly. I found a grocery clerk and asked where to find Starbucks Frappuccino (a vacation-only treat). I was directed to the cooler section, "it's across from the beer." I headed that way. As I was searching, a man in some type of military fatigues literally came around the corner, staggering into the aisle.
Inside I heard or knew "Talk to him". I abandoned my search for Frappuccinos and approached this man. I look him in the eyes. There are bruises on his face. I ask "Hi, how are you?"
He replied, "I'm better now that I see you." I continued to talk to him, introducing myself, learning his name, etc. Eventually, I reached a point when I felt moved to share, "I hope you're not here to buy more beer because you already look like you shouldn't be driving."
"Oh, I would never do that ... drive like this. I'm a wreck. I'm walking."
"Well, please be careful that you don't fall into traffic."
Then he started repeatedly exclaiming "Oh, my God!" When I asked what was wrong, he shares my statements indicate real "heart-felt concern". He explains that people don't even talk to him, let alone care about him.
I feel perplexed at this and exclaim, "Why wouldn't I." As I say this, I look down the aisle and an elderly couple start to enter, see us, and hastily turn around, and exit.
He then continued, "Oh, my God, this is a spiritual experience. You don't know what this means to me. You are my angel."
There was a bit more back and forth before hubby approached. The Vet shares his glee at meeting me and tells hubby how lucky he is. I gave this dear soul a hug and we parted ways, perhaps both forever changed!
I was deeply moved by the entire experience and will never forget it. I feel this is the first time that I truly channeled spiritual healing energy, messages, and unconditional LOVE. I got out of the way of my calling and did/said what I knew God/Source/Spirit/The Universe was accomplishing through me as me.
A "spiritual experience" found me because I saw beyond the dirty clothes and outer appearances and listened to Higher Guidance and LOVE. And yet, part of me wonders how many magical moments had been served to me previously, when I was too "in my head", focused on a "to do" list, or just plain self-absorbed in LIFE to notice. This is a gift of presence!
Blessings are amazing and lie virtually around every corner! Get out there and BE in Presence xo
