I just returned from my fifth workshop of Teal Swan's, The Spiritual Catalyst, she is called. She is simply amazing, and so are her followers. They usually open their heart to love for everyone. There usually is a group house for each workshop, with about twenty people in the house. I decided to get my own place this time, because I seem to need my own space. The weekends are very intense, emotional, and at times issues come up for some people, along with their tears and anger. I realized how much I need my own space, being alone when I need to. And sometimes others seem to feel comfortable enough with me to lash out on me, which doesn't make me happy, so having my own place will help to minimize that. I did feel very alone though, not wanting to be in my Hotel either, not knowing where I really was, and not seeing anyone I knew. I really do not like being away from home, I don't enjoy that feeling anymore, I think because I moved so many times I get the sense of insecurity. Not knowing, having to learn about a new place. When I was young I enjoyed those experiences, as I was wild and free, but now, I enjoy the comfort of my home, knowing where I am and what I have.
So, Friday morning I text my friend to see if she wanted to meet. We did, and boy, did I need it. We had an awesome time, connecting with a soul sister, and talking about things I can not talk about with most people. So, every time someone annoys us, it's our own shadow? Our own mirror of ourselves that needs to be acknowledged and set free! We talked a lot about that issue, because at times people, even strangers annoy me. To think it's due to something within me that I have to resolve, is a bummer, because I feel I should just stay away from those people.
Friday night I walked around Venice beach, and saw many restaurants and bars. I did not resonate with the energy here, I actually couldn't wait to leave. I also walked near the beach on the cement path, which had beach on one side and homes on the other. The homes were cement squares, none of them attractive, and they were on top of each other. I live in New Jersey and our beach homes are very different. They are all pretty beautiful, especially the ones on the beach. Gorgeous, homemade mansions, some smaller homes, but all beautiful, and different, not cookie cutter homes, all the same cement flat slab. As far as property goes for the beach homes in New Jersey, they all have property. Their own private beach front, most have, without cement in between the sand, you just walk out into your sandy beach! The homes I saw in Venice were directly on top of each other, you could probably touch your neighbor if you wanted to! This would make me feel too confined, making me feel I could never sit in front of my home on the beach and not have quiet moments alone. I was totally struck by this, actually confused, because everyone seems to brag about Venice, about what an awesome town and beach it is. I expected a more classy town, not so rugged and hard. The vibe down the shore in Jersey is calm and chilling, and people are pretty friendly. The vibe I felt in Los Angeles was very different, more disconnected and somewhat arrogant. Oh well, it truly made me appreciate my state so much more, and realize what awesome beach towns we have here!
Saturday was Teal's Workshop, and as she walked on stage in her gorgeous red dress, she was radiant. She explained the energy in Los Angeles was somewhat disconnected, and we did a meditation to help with that. The first on stage was a couple, a couple Teal had asked to volunteer to work on relationship issues. They were amazing, and had a major breakthrough when Teal had them switch roles, and pretend they were the other person explaining how they felt. Many of the ones chosen were doing inner child work on stage, and others chosen could have dove deeper down into their feelings, but did not. I sensed arrogance from a few on stage, their ego holding them back from letting go and feeling those emotions on stage. While I was on stage in February, I truly let go, opening up myself as much as I could, so I could get to the root of my body pain, along with her help. Usually the people called on stage with Teal, have inner child work to do, and some even go back to a childhood memory they have no recollection of. They break down and cry, we comfort them with loving thoughts, and I will send them some Reiki, Universal loving energy through my hands while I put my hands up to them. Their pain is our pain, we are all one and all connected. What one feels we all feel, even if we are aware of this or not.
Teal has taught me so many things about life, about us, about why we are here. To have the opportunity for Teal to help you on stage is a blessing, in my opinion. An opportunity I am so very grateful for, because after being on stage with her in February, it has totally shifted and changed my life. Your energy shifts when you are with her, on stage or even in the audience. Everyone's energy shifts due to her energy and the healing that occurs. It is such a beautiful thing to experience, an experience that I kept being drawn to, wanting to connect with these beautiful souls again and again.
We are one Soul Family, all of us who find her, and feel we have been together before. She cherishes that, respects that, and actually cares and loves each and every one of us, offering help and guidance in our dreams as well. We all heal each other, she helps to heal me, I help to heal her, we help to heal one another. We are all connected with the "collective consciousness" and I totally resonate with her and her teachings. What affects one of us, affects us all. We are all links in the same chain. Teal Swan is way beyond her years, and I have been searching for this knowledge since seventh grade. I remember asking myself, "What are we here for? There must be some major reason we would come here, knowing we are going to die one day!" Her teachings have guided and changed many of us, and still are. New knowledge, inspiration, and insight is pouring out of her weekly. I make sure that I keep up with her weekly "Ask Teal" videos, her Podcast's with Sarbdeep, and her Blog that I love. The questions we are thinking usually are answered by one of these sources. When I am sad and low, I make sure I watch a video of hers, it even comforts me just to see her face and hear her voice, along with the message she wants to give. I have never experienced any other Spiritual Leader, Mentor, and friend like her in the World, and I am so very grateful and excited to be part of her mission and vision!
