Last evening I attended a meeting where we did a group session of AFT — Aroma Freedom Technique led by my good friend who is a certified AFT practitioner.
It’s an amazing technique in that it is so simple and usually the results are quick and often surprising. It uses Young Living Essential Oils and can assist with resolving issues from the past, present and future. It can be a fast re-set or a more involved one on one session.
I’ve used it before with great success following my car accident a few months ago and it works. It can also turn tears into smiles as it is something you can do yourself once you’ve been shown how, and you have the oils.
Anyway last night I set my intention and as we worked through the process I found myself way off track. I was beginning to think that I really need to have another one on one session as this is going nowhere when suddenly I arrived back where I started. Only this time I had a resolution.
I was so sure that I’d taken myself down the wrong rabbit hole and then I realised that was okay — I was meant to do that.
How often in our lives do we start out with a destination or goal in mind and find ourselves getting completely sidetracked? I know that I do it often — which is why I shouldn’t have been surprised last night.
When I commented on this last evening I was given the analogy of a long distance flight where the pilot is constantly correcting in order to arrive at the destination — so why are we any different?
In reality life is rarely defined in an orderly linear fashion — how boring would that be!
Perhaps what ‘happens’ to us is what we really need and not such a disaster after all. Losing a daughter to suicide definitely seems like a disaster — and it was certainly a catastrophic event in my life. But when I look at it from a different perspective — it has helped shape the life I have today. I wouldn’t be the person I am now without that loss. My life would most likely have been vastly different, and yet I have chosen to not feel sorry for myself; to approach it as if it was all meant to be to make me the person I am today.
I miss Kelly terribly, and I think of her every day — but now it’s more in terms of what would she think of this or that and how would she react or behave.
So sometimes when you think you’re on the wrong track and that all is quite hopeless — maybe it is because you needed to go there in order to find the ‘right’ one.
On the ‘right’ track?
