Understanding Creates PeaceBy Amy Garcia |
Several months ago, I starting having dreams about my
teenage son, Anthony. I sensed that he was going to
make choices that resulted in harmful consequences. I
was hosting an ongoing psychic development class at that
time. I asked the teacher what his insights were in
this situation. He picked up on an accident that
Anthony might have on an off road vehicle. This was not
very encouraging information, but I knew my son was in
charge of his own life. At sixteen years old, he was
motorcycle riding every weekend. He was doing well in
school and had a part time job. He had just obtained
his driver’s license and purchased his first truck.
Two days after the class, I received a call that my son was being taken to the hospital. He had crashed his motorcycle and dislocated his shoulder. I wasn’t too upset because we had gone through this before. My husband and sons had a passion for racing and had experienced their fair share of injuries. I used to joke that the emergency room staff at the hospital knew us on a first name basis. The doctors examined my son and put his shoulder in a sling. When we got home I thought that it would be business as usual. The worst case scenario was that he would be out of P.E. at school and have a few months of physical therapy.
I had a psychic reading the next day with my friend, Anarah. She had become something of a family counselor over the past few years. She looked at the situation energetically and saw a past life “lighting up.” She said that my son had been a member of a sailing crew that pillaged a town. Many crimes were committed and three people were hung. My son was one of them. Although he was not a ringleader, he was one of the “fall guys”. Anarah said, “Amy, I am worried about his neck. It was very vulnerable due to this past experience and I think he may have an injury.” I told her that the doctors had not seen a problem.
When I returned home, there was a phone message on my answering machine indicating that the x-ray technicians had found a fracture on Anthony’s fifth vertebrae. I was stunned, but not really surprised. The way this had unfolded, I had an understanding of the reasons things were happening. We took him back to the hospital where he was outfitted with a neck brace. We had a rough night and I think my hysteria was held in check due to the information I had received psychically. Another intuitive told me that it was necessary for my son to remain separated from his peer group for a while to prevent a potential disaster. He was out of school for six months because of the injury.
It was a difficult situation for everyone and my son was on his back for a long time. We had a teacher come to our home with his schoolwork. I bought Anthony The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle on audio tape. I hoped it would inspire him to look past his current life situation and look within for peace and comfort. I think it helped him see life from another perspective and he learned valuable lessons through this challenging experience. We talked about making wise decisions in regards to friends and peer situations and going within for guidance. Sometimes it is hard to accept the cards we are dealt in life, but there is a bigger picture designed to help us evolve and gain greater understanding of ourselves. With greater understanding, acceptance becomes easier. As we practice acceptance, we will find peace.
Prayer: “Mother-Father God, I believe that there is a reason for each event in my life. This gives me strength and courage to continue growing and evolving. My soul has designed lessons that I will utilize to gain wisdom and understanding. I will refrain from judging situations as “good” or “bad”, but view them from many perspectives. I ask for guidance and insights along the way to keep me in touch with Truth. And so it is.”
