Our Teachers

 

Our Teachers

Throughout our entire lives we are engaged n the process of teaching and learning. And we are both students and teachers at the same time. We learn from those who have more knowledge and experience and in turn, share with those younger. Did you ever find yourself thinking that you had wished you had asked more questions of someone when you had the chance? So, instead, take the time now. You know how young children always like to ask their grandparents to tell them stories about when they were young. Part of our life lessons come from those stories. Knowing what I know now, would I ask my grandparents more or different questions if I could do that now? Yes. During my different careers, I have different teachers for each of those phases of my life. They taught me technical things, and even more importantly, lessons about working with other people to get things done. I have always appreciated that people who were older and more experienced than myself always smiled and enjoyed sharing when I asked them questions about things they did excellently. My experience as a healer who teaches brought me teachers who are spirit guides, and two of them are nurses. So yes, some of our teachers are in spirit. There were my teachers in real life who taught me the basics and techniques. But it was when I felt the connection with my spirit guides helping to heal that my healing increased in flow and intensity. I feel it and my clients feel it. When I refer to teachers, I mean all of them, from the person who taught you in school, to those who taught you how to create win/win relationships, use your sense of humor, plant a garden, cook a tasty, nutritious meal, to those who gave you pointers for your workouts. That includes your inner circle of family or friends who are always there for you. We all need people who can relate to who we are now, not who we used to be. As we grow and evolve our social circles evolve as well. Throughout our lives, we will have more than one teacher or mentor, all part of our team. How do you feel about your team now? Is it time to work with a new teacher? By the way, the image above is the Hierophant from the Victorian Romantic Tarot. Hierophant is a word from ancient Greece that means a spiritual teacher.

What may be

 

What may be

Here we are in the 5th month of the year, and the number 5 as we know, is about tests and challenges. For those of us who like to garden, we hope that what we do this month will bring good results in the coming months, yielding beautiful flowers, as well as healthy vegetables. What may be, has everything to do with what we are doing to plan, prepare and put in place now. How much of this applies to other parts of our life? There are many things that we may do, which is when we are being courteous and get permission to do. Then there are things that we can do, and the question before us then is what will we do? It simply caught my attention when I thought about the name of the month being the same as the word that indicates permission. We may have a more profitable year in business this year. What do we need to do to make it so? We may have better relations with people this year. What do we need to do to make it so? We may have better strength and health this year. What do we need to do to make it so? The number 5 challenges us to go beyond our previous limitations. Month 5 prompts us to thionk about how we want to proceed. Mayday. Funny how this simple word became a universal call for help. May I help? Can you help? What choices may we make now? What choices will we make now? There is also the old saying that April showers bring May flowers. May you enjoy this beautiful month and use it to accelerate and expedite your dreams and visions.
