Nocturnal conversation liberates insight and faith
I was getting into bed around 3 am after the long bout of editing. Spotting the missed call, I tried to call Jackie back. This time, she didn't pick up. Then my phone rang; nobody there.
In Ireland, it was a sunny late morning. Jackie's phone had dialed me while she was taking her dogs outside. When she heard me speaking from her pocket, we launched into a long-overdue catch-up. The talk ranged round to writing, and I told her about one of my Bletchley Park scenes.
"I was just thinking about the codebreakers at Bletchley Park the other day," she said. Jackie is an energy healer. She'd been sitting with a group of fellow healers, working to break prevailing negative codes of belief.
Every day we re-program ourselves, unaware that we're reinforcing long-held negative beliefs. But it doesn't have to be this way. As we become aware of our thought patterns, we can alter them.
The other day, I was shocked to hear a friend say of a dear one suffering from anxiety, "She's doing better, but she's had this for a long time; I assume she'll struggle with it for life." Hearing this statement shocked me into a moment of clarity. This is precisely what Jackie means when she says we routinely (and often unintentionally) put spells on ourselves and each other.
Today we must break belief codes, the social and family programming that we often allow, even invite into our lives. But energy can be shifted. Orienting our lives in more positive directions is only a decision away. As I travel the healing path, I love talking to Jackie, who helped me take those first crucial steps toward the self-awareness that guides my life today.
