Know Thy Self

Following a recommendation of a good friend, I went and had booked a session with Queenie (yes her real name) from IntoPeople and as arranged turned up at 9.30am not really knowing what to expect, so I opted to not really hold much of an expectation, but just be open.

My instruction had been to reflect on 3 things, be it physical, emotional, rational and professional) I wanted to work on, so I did. And, without giving away her magic tricks, after a chat and first easing in to the session I found myself on the table relaxing under a cosy blanket as Queenie started to read (divining rods in hand) my aura and energy.

I am very sensitive tio subtler energies – always have – like most of us. And, I coukld sense she was onto something, and allowed myself to just stay open and relaxed to the process. I am not sure how much later, but she nudged me to invite me back into the room slowly. I did.

As we chated about the process and her discoveries it became aparent not only to me that there were these key junctions in my life looking back that took me further onto my mission and others that diverted, energies that hindered or at least made it more difficult for me to really push on with my life’s purpose, and it was refreshing to have her ‘see’ me so well, although we had only met today.

The things she had found resonated deeply with me, the suggestions she made, questions she asked allowed me to recognise my path, how these things had affected it and how much more clarity I had for it…  Not that this was my first session of sorts, but my first and not the last with Queenie, but I gained a senses of enhanced connectedness to myself – and that was powerful and refreshing – perfect for the third day of the new year.

I went home after some more sharing and reflecting to rest, drink water and eat. It was 1pm when I left, an extra long session (obviously) and spend the rest of the day observing me, being present with me and taking it easy. What struck me most was that as we talked after the session, I could feel how much of me she had been able to see in such short time and how I could feel an enhanced depth to me as I spoke of things in my life.

In recognising me, my mission and how and where I was holding myself back at times or had done so, I felt empowered, focused and clear on what I had to do next. This was priceless and showed me just how amazing it is to ‘know thy self’ and to be at ease with that – no matter what.

Most of us have been raised to focus so much on the world on the outside, and many of us still are guided by that, feel about ourselves depending on how others see us and so on…  We are usually not taught how to know oneself better and certainly not to then dwell in it fully in the face of the world around us – without filtering, compromising or holding back.

So, for me it was a most joyous and re-affirmative experience today, one that left me feeling in touch with me and encouraged to cherish my relationship and willingness to be seen as me – no matter what. Am booked again next week…  Just had to share, despite all my many years of working on myself, personal development workshops, training, books and seminars, that today I received something that no – I could not have done for me – myself. Happy knowing thy self! =)
