Message from Ayal ~ January 2021
Ayal here. Today, something has come through that I wanted to share with you...
There is a quote from the movie The Lord of the Rings (of which I am a great fan), where the wizard Gandalph and Frodo, the Hobbit, are talking. Frodo had gone into deep despair and depression about having to be the one who carried the weight and the terrible burden of the ring, trying to take it against seemingly impossible odds, to be destroyed. The ring symbolized all the absolute evil in the world, and carrying it exacted a terrible price. So, at one point, Frodo says to Gandalph: “I wish the ring had never come to me! I wish none of this had ever happened!” and Gandalph looks upon him kindly and says, with great wisdom and compassion: “So do all who live to see such times. But that is not theirs to decide. We can only decide what to do with the time that is given to us.”
This got me thinking, deeply, for we are living in very difficult times as well. I asked myself, what is the most important thing that I would decide to do with the time that is given to me….? My answer was: to help bring balance and healing to as many as possible. This would then also include bringing balance and healing to the Earth, and all the creatures who live upon her.
As a Shamanic practitioner, this is what I can offer. In fact, looking back at things, I realized that all of my life, with all of the classes I have taken, all of the healers and teachers I have studied with, all of the Shamanic journeys and insights I have gained along the way, and all of the healing knowledge and ancient wisdom that has come my way, this is perhaps, the time I have trained for, all of these years, when there is SO much out of balance….and so much that needs such deep healing.
So, this morning, I offered up a strong intention to the Universe to please utilize me in whatever way it could so that I can do this. To do my part, what was given to me to do.
When one enters upon the Shamanic Path, as a path of healing and wisdom, what is asked of one is to be a Bridge between the world of Spirit and the world of Earth. To bring back and offer whatever balance is needed when someone, or something, or some situation, has tilted out of balance, has lost the harmony and needs healing. To be a channel for this from a place of as clear and deep integrity as one can be. As we all know, the world is very much out of balance these days.
And so, just to make sure I was on the right path with this, with what came to me, and what I will share below, I did an I Ching reading about it, asking for Guidance. The reading I was given was the 1st one that begins the 64 Cycles of Changes to guide one through life: The Primal Power of Spirit and Creation. When this one shows up, which is not very often, it is a power punch - a wow.
It said:
“This is the primal power of spirit to create. You see it in the light of heaven, the sun that makes everything grow, the fertilizing rain, and the shape shifting energy of the dragon. You are confronted by many obstacles. Take action and persist in it. You are in contact with fundamental creative energy. Be dynamic, strong, untiring, tenacious and enduring. …This opens a new cycle of time … This great force begins things. You can use it to continue without pause….to transform things. It makes the innate spirit in each thing manifest. Use it to produce ideas that inspire people. Spread your wings. Your creative energy has been recognized….let your idea unfold. Make things, build things, create and found.”
So - phew. OK. With this as a blessing and a go ahead, what I would like to offer to everyone is this:
If you need or would like to work with me to gain some healing or balance in any way, just once, or in an ongoing manner, AND/OR, if you would like to be introduced to and be opened to the Shamanic Path, to walk it and learn of it, for the Highest Good of All, to also bring a greater balance and healing to this world, I am available and very willing and happy to do so. It brings deep meaning and peace of mind to me, as well, to know that the Beauty and Wisdom that has come to me to integrate in this life can be shared so that we can create a new balance in this world, and in ourselves.
It seems so clear to me that that what is being asked of us now is that the nature of “Human Nature” be changed….that it evolve into something greater, something new and of much higher consciousness. This not only brings healing to oneself, but it will flow into the evolutionary stream of the world and take us to a different way of being that is healing for all concerned. A place of balance and harmony with Nature, within ourselves, with others, with what we create. Many think “human nature” is a set thing, that it is what it is and has and will always be, and that it will continue to enact great harm.
I don’t believe this. I know that transformation is the nature of life, and having received this I Ching reading only confirms that for me.
So - the more people who take this upon themselves to make this change in the nature of humanity, within themselves, for that is where it must be made to be of anything lasting, is extremely significant and of great importance. To do this creates what is called the Hundredth Monkey scenario: where one monkey learns something new, and then another notices it and learns it, and then another until finally, when the 100th monkey has learned it, and behaves in this new way, it miraculously changes and is transmitted into the psyche and knowing and behavior of every monkey there is.
If you feel the need for balance and healing and learning in some way, especially during the extreme stress and deep challenges of these times, and working together resonates with you, please feel free to not only pass this message on to your friends but also to CONTACT ME. We can set up a phone consultation or a zoom interaction to do this healing and important work together. If you feel called to do this, a donation is always appreciated, if it feels right to you to do so as an energy exchange, which is always a good thing. However, if that is a burden, it is not necessary to give a donation to do this work. It is my tithe and offering to the planet, giving what I have been given.
