Brazil Part III: Meeting John of God.
It’s hour 3 of 6. I’ve been sitting here, with John of God, holding a healing vibration through meditation to aid him as thousands of guests pile in to receive their blessings. It’s magical, it’s serene, it’s intense. How did I get here?
Let’s go back.
A few days ago I got out of bed at 5AM. It’s THE day. I am to be at the Casa at 7AM. It’s pouring outside, buckets of endless, beautiful rain. I’ve slept only a few hours, but I’m ready.
There are about 2000 people when I arrive, and they put us in groups in a loose organization that would be chaotic anywhere else, but here, it works. I am put in the first timers line, and we are the last to enter the room.
When you meet John of God, you can ask for three “wishes.” To clarify, it’s not about asking a genie to grant your wildest dreams, It’s about putting the intention out there in the world to someone who can clearly listen.
I ask for:
- A healthy body and mind so that I can continue to serve the people I love without impediment.
- Direction in the next chapter of my work with Emerging Om
- Assurance that my beloved Frosty is well on the other side.
He receives my thoughts through the translator, and asks me to meditate in true silence with no distraction to process my answers. I do this.
For many, this is often the end of their day with John of God, they spend time at the Casa, rest, or even take in the beautiful sights. For me, I’ve never felt more rejuvenated to serve the healing light. I ask if I can volunteer to sit with John of God and help hold and direct the high energy in the room through deep meditation. They let me, and I can honestly say my first experience was, well, there are no words.
It’s been a few days since. I’ve now been inducted as “Daughter of the Casa”- I am learning how to harness and direct my energy with such powerful intention. I am learning to connect in deep ways with those who I don’t even need to share language with. I am learning, and isn’t that the most exciting thing?
I can’t wait to come back and see all of you. I’ll be doing a workshop on everything I’ve learned on Saturday, 2/25 at the center. Until then, Peace, Om, and Blessings.
