Today yoga was still excruciating, and there were no more blatant messages about going slow, but a wonderful message about the unique communication between souls was in my morning meditation:
“Souls do talk. Listen quietly. Listen to your own. Learn to hear the voice of others’. A little soul talk goes a long way.”
~ Melody Beattie – Journey to the Heart
Many times I have had a feeling that someone, God included, just spoke to me as clear as day right inside my chest, where my heart is. I would never mention these experiences because, obviously, people would think I’m crazy. In the past few months others have spoken of similar experiences. Now, in today’s reading, this phenomena was brought to light again. Along with it comes the concept of really listening. And therein lies the ah..ha moment. We must slow down and quiet ourselves in order to really listen. To “hear” the words of another’s soul or heart, you have to stop thinking or talking yourself, and if we won’t stop and listen, something will happen to stop us in our tracks and teach us how.
Listening is just that – listening. When God or another person contacts you in your heart or soul, it is the time to listen. Not the time to advise, judge, offer opinions, etc. In my experiences with this, I find myself just repeating back what God or the other person said. Granted, it’s a unique communication, but I guess I’m not crazy after all and it really does happen. A friend and I were talking about it the other night, and she gave it a name. She said I was an empath. Never heard that before, so I looked it up in my iBooks and there is a lot written on it. I feel better about not being crazy, or that “crazy” has a name.
And so, as another day goes by, God is still presenting me with “great and unsearchable things I do not know” (Jeremiah 33:3), and I have written.
