Healing instead of reacting in rage

Last night I settled down at the computer to work on this blog hoping to have a peaceful night. In my heart though I felt that something was coming, something was about to happen. Sure enough my youngest daughter Erin and was nervous, pacing back and forth, worried because her boyfriend and his friends had not yet arrived. Finally she got a phone call from him telling her that his brother and my his friend Flip had been stabbed. His brother was on the way to the hospital but Flip was not. My second oldest daughter Shannon asked me if I would watch her daughters, my 2 little grandkids, while she took Erin to go find Flip. Shannon and Flip are good friends. Shannon had been complaining about a stabbing pain, so when I heard what happened I figured she was probably feeling his pain, that is one of our gifts.

All my daughters are bright beautiful spirits, all gifted with unusual gifts that tend to run in our family. As with all gifts it takes time and training to utilize them properly and for the greater good, and not to misuse them in anyway. This wisdom comes in various stages of development and we have to experience those stages to learn how to walk with honor.
Shannon has learned to channel anger and rage into healing and bringing about change in a way that is good and productive, with Erin and her sister Nancy this is a work in progress.

I reminded Erin that no matter how angry she may feel towards the people who stabbed her friends, we have to use put aside all that negative energy and transform it into healing energy. I knew that Shannon would make sure that Erin went there to heal and comfort not to fight and get revenge. Luckily someone was taking Flip to the hospital so the girls went straight there instead of to the neighborhood where the incident occured, which by the way was in the apartment complex next to where my daughter Nancy lives. It's not a bad neighborhood, but I guess it is headed there.

At the hospital the girls went about the task of making sure Flip had everything he needed, they couldn't see Erins boyfriends brother he was in surgery. Shannon new that the hospital staff might treat Flip like a young punk, judging without knowing him. She was right, and whipped the hospital staff into shape making sure they gave him whatever he needed. Shannon was also surprised to see that Flips wound was exactly where she had been feeling the sharp pains.

I am proud of my girls, they are growing into beautiful young women learing to acknowledge their gifts letting the Goddess work through them to heal others. They are learning to withstand the rage of others and contain their own anger and rage so that they can channel that rage into focused action undermining injustice and violence to bring about true justice. They are understanding that to be fearless healers linking the realms of earth and sky, walkers between the worlds of magic and manifestation we have to relinquish our desire for retaliation.

But then that is what we do, we heal the broken, shattered spirits, whether they be on this plane in human form, animal form, or from another plane in spiritual form.

Blessings,
Maria
