AWARENESS – Page 67

Who are you? Have you ever been asked that question or asked it of yourself? A few months back as a guest on Allie Cheslick’s Wings of Love radio show I was asked that very question and I gave the answer that I was prepared to give.

It was answer that I had rehearsed knowing Allie would ask me. My answer was “I am a spiritual being having a human experience.” There I said it! That is who I am!

I remember clearly as Allie said something to the effect of ‘OK that’s good but WHO ARE YOU..WHO IS DEBRA TAITEL AND WHERE DO YOU COME FROM ….REALLY?’ Honestly for a moment I felt like a deer in the headlights! How do I answer that?

I took a deep breath and immediately realized that I had never really talked about who I am and what it was like growing up being sensitive to energy with an awareness that was very different from those around me. I took my abilities for granted. Now I consider them a gift.

In my head childhood scenes started playing out. How many times had I rehearsed the answer I thought someone wanted to hear? How many times did I try to be like someone else or fit into a group because at some level I felt that “who I was” wasn’t good enough?

That radio show was pivotal in my growth and has allowed me to examine all those places and pictures that I was not only living from, but showing to other people. If you’ve ever asked why someone can’t see you for who you are, you may want to ask yourself if you are BEING who you really are.

Many people are awakening to who they are as spirit. You’ve heard the saying there is so much more to you than meets the eye. Well, I see a lot of people beginning to open their eyes to the “more”and in many ways it’s like awakening from a deep slumber.

Sometimes you need to yawn, stretch and contemplate if what you experienced in your “dream” was really true. If you get up too quickly, you can feel a bit dizzy but if you open your eyes and allow them to focus, then plant your feet firmly on the ground your awakening can be a beautiful epiphany with many more to come!

So WHO ARE YOU? Are you living life from your heart? Do you have a passion or gift that you’d like to share with the world but someone once told you that you weren’t good enough, you shouldn’t or couldn’t? Have you ever considered that who you’ve “tried” to be wasn’t really you?

Take a journey within and find YOU! Let go of the rest. When you live from the truth of who you are, you don’t need rehearsal…it’s just YOU BEING YOU and who you are becoming! 🙂

I AM Debra Taitel a spiritual being having a human experience and yes, there is much more to me than meets the eye! How about you? WHO ARE YOU?~ Shine your light Debbie

Healing others is a natural ability and something you may have done your whole life. Perhaps you have recently found a technique that not only helps you heal yourself but others as well. VOILA! you’ve found THE answer you’ve been looking for!

You can heal yourself AND someone else! You feel great and want to share what you’ve learned and shed light wherever and whenever because it feels good to help and you CAN! You can’t even imagine why someone wouldn’t want to heal. After all it’s simple, easy and you definitely have the ability to help. Of course, why wouldn’t you want to share and heal those closest to you?

So there you are, shining your light and healing yourself. A friend comes along and is sad, working through a problem, is depressed, sick or even merrily on their way but you can see, sense and feel something’s not right. You are so enthusiastic about healing, that you jump in with both feet. You’re going to help them! It could be an energy healing, reading or just sending out all the light and love you can. Whatever you use you’re going to make them feel better using your healing ability!

This is very noble…it’s also called being a friend 🙂 However, before you jumped in, did you ask if them if they wanted the healing? Did you “read” them without permission? I can tell you from personal experience that when you are a healer and do what comes naturally to you it may not always be welcome.When you ‘come to the rescue’ particularly in matters of the heart, without permission you can get punished on an energetic level. The person will go into resistance, put a wall up and run for the hills.

A very dear friend of mine wrote me the perfect metaphor for describing what happens. If you are an out of control healer like I can sometimes be, I think you’ll find a great deal of information in what he wrote! 🙂

“You know how if you’re in a dark place, and someone turns on a light when they’re not expecting or wanting it, and they feel blinded? And they need the light turned off NOW because their eyes haven’t adjusted yet? Well I think there’s an analogy to be made when it comes to matters of the heart. Sometimes you need to give people time for their hearts to adjust. Sometimes it’s better to knock on the door and open it sloooowwwwly, letting little bits of light in at a time. You may know they’re better off with lots of light, but that’s not always the point. They might need time to acclimate. And you might need to ask why they were in the dark. That might give you lots of information about how to give them light.”~SBS (reprinted with permission)

Each person knows whats best for their own healing and heals in their own time. In fact, as pointed out to me, you can get so attached to the outcome of the healing that you forget there is a very sensitive human being going through something that may be very painful to shed light on all at once.

Shine your light from within and heal yourself. Allow others to come to you to bathe in your light when THEY are ready. Be a good friend and not only listen, but hear what someone is telling you. They may have a very good reason they want and need to go slooooowwwwly. 🙂 ~Shine your light~ Debbie
