Good Vibrations

Maybe I’m not as popular as The Beatles, nor as rich, (not yet anyway) but I have done something that they did. I have hired a spiritual healer. Okay all you Mormon’s, especially those who know me…settle down. I haven’t completely gone off my rocker, or maybe I have, don’t judge me, ha ha almost got ya didn’t I.

So here is the thing, I needed something different than what I was getting at church. I didn’t want a different church, I didn’t want a different religion, I just needed more/different. Now some would say that it’s my fault, I’m only getting out of it what I’m putting into it. I can accept that argument to a point. In the scriptures, it talks about being hungry and getting fed. However, lets agree to not place blame, lets just agree that week after week my hunger was not being satisfied by what was being served at church.

I consider Santa Fe a spiritual place, I love going there. I enjoy just sitting in a quiet place and taking in the feeling of the area. However, its a 4 1/2 hour drive away. There is a place much closer, that provides, in my mind, a similar vibe, if not as profound. A couple of weeks ago, after feeling very low, very hungry, I decided to go to this place. I felt a little bit of healing would be better than none. Along the way, a sign caught my eye. A sign for a Psychic, a Spiritual Healer, etc. Almost by itself, my truck pulled into the driveway. I set up an appointment for a couple hours later, and left to go sit on a park bench and relax until I could see her.

Some background at this point may be in order. My wife used to go to a  psychic on a regular basis prior to our marriage. In fact, she was engaged when her psychic told her that she was to marry me. Its a long story, not as simple as I just made it sound, but here we are 20 years later. Even after that experience, I still didn’t believe in it, in fact I thought it to be kooky, silly, stupid and even evil. After much grief from me, my wife finally stopped seeing her psychic.

But here I was sitting on a couch with a woman claiming to be a psychic, a spiritual healer.  Now I was hungry, I was looking for something, would she take advantage? After some chit chat, and her piercing eyes looking into my soul. She sat back, and told me my life’s story. I was blown away. But more than that, she said she could help me. I was ecstatic. We talked about what would go on, what was expected, etc. Again, it sound kooky, silly and stupid. However, for the first time in a very long time I felt spiritually fed, so I knew it wasn’t evil. I agreed to follow her instructions, to do what she said. I left with a feeling of hope, of excitement, of newness. It was strange to have these feelings, they were so unfamiliar.

I would consider myself an intelligent person, and until a few days ago, one who could figure things out on his own. So in the words of the jackass himself, Dr Phil, I ask myself “How’s that working for you”? Well my new found spiritual leader, Sarah, says it like this. I let my thoughts and my intelligence get in the way of my feelings, I don’t listen to what my heart is telling me. When I told her about my problem with church and getting spiritually fed, she simply replied “God didn’t turn His back on you, you turned your back on Him”

Alright already enough rambling. Here is my point. Sarah explained it like this: She doesn’t work with voodoo, spells, or any of that kooky, silly crap I was so judgmental about. She said its all about the ENERGY. I have been so caught up in all the negative, depressing things going on in my life, that all I’m attracting is negative and depressing energy. Learn to deal with those things, but then let them go, let the energy go. Focus on the good, look for the good in all things, and good things, good energy, GOOD VIBRATIONS will come my way. And even better, not only can I focus on good energy coming my way, she can send me good energy, my wife can send me good energy, we can all send each other good energy, we can all focus our energy on a common goal.  Now for those Mormon’s still hanging to see if I’ve lost it; When the scriptures say with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, is not the true meaning of MIGHT that which I just described? I believe it is.

Again, I’m not The Beatles, but I told Sarah that I’m putting her on retainer. I want her to be available whenever I call. I even got carried away, I told her I wanted to make her available to my staff at work because I wanted to have my entire office feeling the energy.

P.S. For those who still don’t believe…as soon as I started to write this, Sarah sent me a text to ask how I was doing, said she was thinking about me. You can believe in her or not, I don’t care, but explain that Twilight Zone moment…do do do do, do do do do.
