I am back from my weekend in Oklahoma City and it was amazing! I spent the weekend with many metaphysically-minded and spiritual people and teachers. The Still Mind, Present Moment, Open Heart event was very eye-opening. I got the chance to use some of my newly acquired concentration skills throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. And when you spend that much time in the mind (as opposed the brain/ego), profound things happen!

One of the best things to come out of that weekend was the realization that I really, really want to be a spiritual/metaphysical teacher. I got to talk to several students from other schools (in different cities and states) who are a little behind me in the lessons and was able to share a little about my experiences and realizations from when I was on those lessons. And it was such an incredible joy to see them listening to what I had to say and having it resonate with them! I realized that I want to be teaching people who are as eager to learn about the mind and spirit as I am. Another benefit that came from the weekend: I managed to shed a lot of baggage, get in touch with my deeper Self and realize the things I believe are really important.

So, the weekend started as my teacher and I arrived at the Oklahoma City School of Metaphysics on Friday evening and helped prepare for the upcoming weekend events. We had dinner with many students from other schools along with the Chancellor of the college (who was the speaker/leader for Saturday’s event) and his wife and son. We did a group meditation late Friday night before bed, then Saturday we headed over to the Oklahoma City University to set up for the Still Mind event. Then we did another large group dinner Saturday night. Sunday (yesterday) we sat through three rounds of intuitive reports. The reports are done by two doctors of metaphysics and given from the inner levels of mind. Sitting through the reports is a profound experience… knowledge and wisdom from the ‘inner levels’ (spiritual realm) is given. The room is very still and if a person is open, they can receive healing, peace and intuitive guidance. I received a few things that I wrote down to later share.

One thing I realized is that all wisdom and knowledge – brilliant ideas and concepts – already exist in the inner levels, and the people (known as ‘geniuses’ and brilliant thinkers) are simply people who have learned how to access these parts of their minds. Usually it’s from past lives where they practiced meditation, concentration and/or other mind exercises. I am grateful that I am one of the people who can receive ideas and insight. In the past few months I have received so many amazing ideas, and now I realize that it is not ‘me’ who is coming up with the ideas, but that I am merely the vehicle that is receiving them. It is up to me now to follow through on them. This was alluded to in my past life profile.

The past life profile reading that I received was of a life from the 1700′s. I was a woman born in England (my name was Agatha) who married at a young age and followed my husband to India, where we lived out the rest of our lives. Apparently we were well off because we had servants, and after several of my servants died of illness, I became interested in Ayurveda. I became adept at the practice, bringing in people who knew about it, and learned a great deal and started helping heal people with the knowledge. I apparently taught a few people near me about it but never found my voice, so I could not make a significant difference except in the people’s lives who I helped. Apparently there were some things going on in India around that time (which I have yet to look up for that time period) and I became secretive of my knowledge and wouldn’t tell people where I learned it. Therefore, I missed out on passing along important knowledge that could have benefited a great deal more people.

The reason that past life was brought up in the reading is because it’s relevant to my current situation. As mentioned above, I receive so many ideas for helping people – some of which I share on here and my other blog – but some that involve writing books about certain topics pertaining to alternative methods of healing that involve the mind. Sitting through the readings (mine and other people’s) opened up even more ideas and concepts to share. It was mentioned in my report that I have the opportunity to share a lot of things with a lot of people and that it’s time to start testing out these theories and ideas I have on a much bigger scale.

Anyway, it was a mind-blowing weekend indeed! I met lots of new people and reconnected with people I haven’t seen for a while.

Another great thing that came out of the weekend events is that I have discovered a great desire within me to share what I am learning and experiencing with others – even when I don’t have it all quite figured out yet. So, I’m committing myself to doing that here on this blog (even though I may miss a few days here and there!) and on my organicveggiegirl.com site. It’s going to be a busy next few weeks… I am going to be out of town again this coming weekend and possibly for the next week and a half after that. I will however have a laptop with me and continue to update when I can.

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!
