Last week I got a wonderful phone call. It was from a woman I have thought of several times in the last few weeks. This was a most exciting call because it’s not often you are told you have helped to change someones life.
Elaine showed up at a church service over a year ago where a friend of mine was doing psychic readings. My friend referred to me. I had been practicing Matrix Energetics for awhile and this seemed to be right up my alley.
Elaine and I worked together for months. At first she called me weekly and as we got into more intense territory we were setting up sessions for several times a week.
At times I was exhausted after our work together. After one particularly grueling session I questioned whether anything I was doing was going to help Elaine. It felt like we were working to save her life (spiritually). The gravity caused me to question whether I had enough tools to help this young woman. But, by last spring, Elaine was only calling every couple of months and then I didn’t hear from her for nearly three months over the summer. I had not heard anything from her since last fall.
She called that night to let me know that she is working with people in somewhat the same way I had worked with her. She is putting together a resume of sorts, listing teachers she has studied with and people who have greatly influenced her practice. She asked if she could list me as one of her teachers.
Elaine is doing well and says she had never seen herself in the way that I did. And even though she had been to many types of counselors in her life, no one else worked with her in the way I had. To her, that was a turning point in her life. She is loving how she’s feeling and what she’s doing and says it thanks to me.
I reminded her that it is she who did the work to get where she is. I assisted by telling her what I saw when I looked at her and by holding the space for her to change her life. Together, our work changed the direction of her life.
