In the emptying of my mind I reached a space of not knowing, the space where all potentials exist, the space between the space where all creation begins.  I felt no fear, only exhilaration.  A rebirth had occurred.

When we are allowed to glimpse just how much we don’t know, it liberates us from having to know anything, let alone having to know it all.  The universe suddenly becomes available and boundless.  Anything can happen, anything can be created.  It is exhilarating to sense that the truth isn’t “out there” it is “in here”.

Back at the allergy practice, I was given the gift of seeing Reiki energy in action.  While taking the rapid and weak pulse of a patient in severe respiratory distress, I placed my other hand upon her shoulder with a healing intent.  Absolutely immediately per pulse normalized and her breathing deepened, while her fear and distress subsided.  This prompted me to attempt to contact my teacher to advance my study of Reiki.  It took some time, but I eventually learned that he had been killed while attempting to help a motorist change a flat tire on the side of a major highway.  I sat in a restaurant a day or two after receiving the distressing news, discussing my sense of loss with a close friend. 

The restaurant was our third choice that night, and was new to me. Strangely, our first two stops were to places that had closed early, without explanation.  It still seems quite unbelievable that we were soon to discover that our server that evening, who was open and personable, happened to have been the best friend of my departed teacher from the age of seven until the time he died.  He actually lived in the building where I took my Reiki class! It defied logic and reason that this man not only was my server, but that we were actually able to ascertain his connection to the person I was thinking and talking about in that moment.

The odds of this were so incalculable that I again recognized how much my way of viewing the world, and my place within it, were about to shift. I could sense that I had no true idea of who I was beyond my knowing that I was connected to God.  It was time for me to let go of old assumptions, be willing not to make new ones, and just allow the universe to show me how to best be of service in every “now” moment of my life.  I was ready to ask to walk with God in service, in trust and gratitude.

 I thanked my teacher for making his presence, and his support, known to me so clearly.  I was soon divinely guided to find his former partner, again through a series of amazing synchronicities.  She was carrying his child when I took my class, and when I met his beautiful daughter I felt his presence touch me again, through her. 

I thanked the universe for giving me a glimpse of the true meaning of synchronicity.  I felt ready to jump off the cliff into the unknown; like the fool, smiling, as his last foot leaves the ground.

I wanted more of this kind of stuff in my life!
