This is part of a spiritual and spirited wellness counsultation that started when a woman with an urging to be of spiritual service subscribed to the free email series called Healing Journey that I offer on this site.
Before reading this part of our spiritual dialogue, it will be helpful to read part one: when transformation frightens, part two: moving forward with confidence, part three: hour of the wolf and part four: into the void

A Glimpse of a New Direction.......
Spiritual Journey Woman:
I didn't want you to spend any time with the last question I posed on my note (from earlier today) regarding fear. I think I know the answer... which is... "don't open that door" focus on good. That's how I handle it in all other areas...
What's more, I think you are right. The paradigm may be shifting having simply fired off the questions. Equally important to asking the right questions is having those questions fall on caring, understanding - very knowing ears.
After those anxious moments, earlier today, I began to feel deep peace. What's more, I sense I may have caught a glimpse of a new (outward) direction - a place to start. It speaks to art, spirit, and service - the "trilogy" of my destiny. We'll see.... I'm going to build a vision board around the pieces hoping it will stick. Many things inspire me, staying with those inspirations has been the greatest challenge.
Thank you for being there for me. I'm looking forward to finishing up the email course. And, when the time is right, our phone call.

oh, i shoulda read this one first, ha. well, that's ok. maybe the other needed to
be said. glad you are receiving such clarity so quickly. that's wonderful.
Spiritual Journey Woman:
I'm so happy you did reply! What you say about my soul need vs. my ego need rings true.
How quickly I'm progressing remains to be seen. Yes, I felt great clarity yesterday, as described. Today, I'm feeling fine but with less clarity. I seem to fade in and out like a radio station that needs tuning. During the out times, I often lose my way.
I will proceed with the board, as I had mentioned. So long as my head does not get in the way of the process, that seems like an effective way to anchor my direction. Even though I'm in a safe and secure place to explore, I've been exploring for two years and feel the weight of the outside world pulling at me... it is time to take action. I need to create and produce something tangible as I continue to learn.
I believe I stated this in our first exchange (need to do something right now in this "place"). Then, the message in the night urged me to skip that step. This push pull is what keeps me stuck. It seems like working with visioning may be the next step for the gentler growth option. I'm not sure I have any idea what to do as next step for "the intensive" path. I hope you can stick with me.
Healing Facilitation Response:
I can stick with you as long as you remain willing to do the work.
The push, pull you speak of is very familiar to me. I have lived with it all my life so I don't necessarily think it will go away. What I learned to do is recognize it for what it was....my soul adjusting course.
I read a wonderful book decades ago that illustrated this to me very clearly. It's called Cybernetics and is by a man named Matthew Maltz. In this book, Matthew talks about how a torpedo finds it's target. A torpedo locates and successfully hits it's target through an consistent pattern of adjustment, by going off course to right or left and then adjusting back to the target. There is something fundamentally similar when we, with the torpedo of our consciousness, attempt to bring about a goal and it doesn't matter if that's a tangible goal like writing a book or an intangible like feeling more at peace. We get there by constant adjustment.
I've discovered that I have to adjust the most when I'm very attached to a particular outcome because my ego will repeatedly try to push through and my consciousness then has to repeatedly pull me back and ask me to look at the situation more clearly and release my expectations of how something will happen or when it should occur. OK, I have to end these email consults now because they are starting to add up to a lot of time typing and I do so much of that already. However, I am thrilled at your progress and will look forward to our phone consultation after you finish the series.
About The M Word:
Money is such an issue for most healing facilitators. It's difficult to talk about, challenging to resolve fair exchange and a day to day decision for me. I post energy exchange amounts for most of my services but the
emails have always just been a service I provided. However, as my site grows, so do the demands on my time. I decided to post a final email conversation between Spiritual Woman and me, because it highlights my dilemma.
I believe, as the bible says, that a workman is worth of his hire. At the same time, I want to give service freely. And at the very same time, I have bills to pay like any person doing any type of work every day. The last point I want to make is that I know any money that comes to me from someone who is still holding on to it, resenting having to send it, sending it because they feel obligated, or sending it in any other way that is unclear and from the heart, will not truly benefit me so I'd rather avoid unclear gifts.
Spiritual Journey Woman:
Please give me your mailing address so I can send a check for your time! Would $50 cover the email and a standard phone call?
Healing Facilitation Response:
Yes, it would but are you clear in doing this? In me asserting my boundaries, which I have to do or my time would be completely monopolized, I was not trying to elicit money but an awareness of the value of my time. If you wish to give the extra money, and are clear in your heart that it's a true love gift, I'd be very happy to receive it and blessed. If not, you may just send the $25 energy exchange that I request for the phone session. I'll leave the amount up to you.
This final dialogue concludes this series. I hope you have found something to benefit you on your own path of spiritual awakening.
