message to butterfly

[Guest guest]

Dear JoAnne Butterfly

 

do you know the story of Butterfly and the man who

tried to help?

 

I use in my Reiki teachings to show that we who send

and share Reiki Healing energy are not the Healers but

the Reiki Energy is the healer. We cannot force

healing on anyone, but offer it and they do what they

need to do with it.

Here is the story...see if it helps you in any way.

 

NATURE’S LESSONS ON LIFE

 

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small

opening appeared and he sat and watched the butterfly

for several hours as it struggled to force it’s body

through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop

making any progress.

 

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and

it could go no farther. Then the man decided to help

the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and

snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The

butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen

body and small, shriveled wings.

 

The man continued to watch the butterfly because he

expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge

and expand to be able to support the body, which

would contract in time.

Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the

rest of it’s life crawling around with a swollen body

and shriveled wings.

It was never able to fly.

 

What the man in his kindness and haste did not

understand was that the restricting cocoon, and the

struggle required for the butterfly to get through the

tiny opening were the way of forcing fluid from the

body of the butterfly into it’s wings so that it would

be ready for the flight once it achieved it’s freedom

from the cocoon.

I send you Reiki Healing Energy, Take the light and do

your healing.

 

Deal with one affliction at a time. Take the light

within you, let it illuminate the darkness the

affliction, see it's color or texture, ask it " why it

is there " , wait and listen to the intuitive answer

you receive. then ask it " if it has some message for

you " wait and listen to what it says, Ask it " if it

serves your 'Highest Good " , then...if it does not

serve your 'highest good',Thank it for it's message,

Tell it affirmativley to leave, that you no longer

need this message in your body/mind, (whether it is

physical, mental, emotional, or spirtiual. " Image " it

leaving your body...whether it leaves as smoke and

exits through your skin, or it shrinks to a tiny dot

and exits through your crown, or out the bottom of the

feet. Imagine and Image are two different things.

Imagine means 'to make beleive' Image means to clearly

see it as fact. Image it leaving. Keep taking in the

Reiki healing light, I send you an abundance of it...

 

If you can afford it keep going back for more Reiki

sessions....but do your own healing work daily...

 

blessings

 

love, light and peace,

Barbara, in Tokyo

Thank you, I have heard the story.

 

I am also aware of some of the things that restricted my healing within myself,

the unwillingness to let go of some things, insecurity and fear of taking the

next step. I had no direction and it was like I was isolated and shut down. In

my isolation and was shutting out the negativity and I was also preventing the

" good " to come in. I knew the energy was there but I was so fatigued and in

pain, that I didn't have the energy to deal with it. I was caught up in self

and resentful that I had done so much giving to others, and I was in self-pity

wanting to know what I wasn't getting the help I needed. I know that when I

type something and I see a bunch of " I " s floating around I am not God-centered,

and as a result, I have been doing much more meditation. I started doing things

for myself. I bought a cleanse, I went for two Reiki treatments, have worked

with a friend who is a psychic healer, but she is going through grief at the

moment and we have a lot of the same issues, so it is

difficult to help each other. We both had a lot of anger issues, me over the

break up of a relationship and her father passed away. The treatments helped me

to let go of some past issues that were surfacing in today.

 

I thank you all for your prayers, and other than a pain in my head which means I

am still shifting and changing, a lot of the swelling has gone down. I

remembered a couple of days ago a young friend telling my swelling was because I

was " full of myself " and I realized that I had become isolated in my pain and

not caring about anyone else.

 

I had no acceptance of where I was at, and although I was willing to surrender

and did, and was getting honest, I couldn't seem to finish that first step

because of the lack of acceptance. I was looking for a quick fix, and I had

things to do, places to go, and yet no goals and direction to take the step

toward.

 

I have a lot of healing yet to do, and look forward to getting more treatments.

I have come to realize that I was shut down and was unaware that I had DID and

PTS, so these issues in themselves and their acceptance will lead to more

healing.

 

God Bless you all,

 

Love Always,

 

Butterfly

A friend sent me a quote for today for my site

http://groups.msn.com/GETWHATYOUNEED

 

It describes me to a " T " , I give until I am suffering from burnout and I forget

to go to a filling up station before I get myself in that state, and I have

nothing left to help myself. I know we are not suppose to give more than the

overflow after we get topped up, but it appears as though I was running on fumes

because my tank was empty.

need. "

Hi, Jo-Anne - I read your comments and the first thing that came to mind is how

unkind you are to yourself, if you don't mind my saying so. Everything that you

wrote was critical of yourself. Sometimes we find ourselves in a place where we

can't hurry healing, but simply need to relax and nurture ourselves, listen to

our bodies and simply let go of striving to get anywhere. Just be in the now

and listen. You can be supported in this with pink kunzite which will harmonise

your body with love, sugilite which will bring down the rays of spiritual

comfort to nurture you, danburite to connect with those unseen energies which

love and nurture you always, and kyanite for gentle support for the healing

process. That's what came through for you, so I hope that helps.

Love and hugs, Mo.

These two I have been using in meditation at night, and I know, I am my own

worst critic.

 

Thank you for sharing,

Hi..

 

I have been reading many of all your letters and they are beautiful in their

openness and honesty.. The replies are beautiful too.. I feel that I have

learned so much from them all. The perspectives are tenderly viewed.

 

I wanted to ask your advice, but I am yet to pinpoint what it is i want to

ask. A lot is going on at the same time.. and although I see the eye of the

storm... I am not sure I feel it, as much as I would like... It may just be a

case

of relaxation and openness and honesty with the self... In fact, much of what

you have written for others has beneffitted me too... by the eye of the

storm.. i mean that the abitliy to hold ones own in spite of turmoil... I feel i

would like a view on this even though I may intuitively know.. its nice to get a

second opinion even if its similar to the one i already have..

Thank you very much for your kind remarks. If you have any questions please do

feel free to contact me here or directly at: butterfly2angelca

 

I have a new column on my website:

 

http://groups.msn.com/GETWHATYOUNEED

 

You can ask me a question and I will consult The Oracle of the Goddess cards and

do a meditation and will channel the message the Creator has given me.

 

Anyone is free to go there but you will have to join the site to participate.

It is something new I am trying. I have done group healings, and sent healings

around the world, but this is the first time I will be attempting to read cards

for someone at any distance. I have a girl I use to sponsor phone me and ask me

to pull cards for her, and this is what triggered the thought, and after

meditations, I chose these cards. Normally I work with Native American

teachings and animals, but for some reason I was lead to the Goddess cards.

 

Love Always,

 

Butterfly
