Tea Shop

Has that Grand Trine FIRE been burning up our egos, or WHAT?
Yes?
Yes.

It's been raining here.
Thick, cool, Pacific Ocean rain, as this luscious island moves into Autumn.

Yesterday, at a teahouse, I met a Kahuna Pule (Hawaiian priestess).
An Elder, a medicine keeper, and a teacher, she commanded a POWERFUL, solemn, yet joyful, youthful presence. She wore a modestly cut, full-length, floral silk dress, and her extravagantly long, grey hair was pulled back in an impeccably fashioned braid.
She was venerable, graceful, and she practically OOZED spiritual wisdom from every pore, with each breath.

It was, as one might imagine, a PROFOUND honor just to meet her. To be in her space.

She played with the wee Starseed, and offered to share her meal of herbal tea and warm vegetable stew.
We gratefully received her gracious invitation, sitting with her for some time, sipping tea and chatting.

She asked about my work.
I explained that I am an entrepreneur, and a self-employed business owner.

She asked about what sort of work I do, in my business.
I told her that I am a spiritual activation mentor.

"Ah" she said, "You talk to people."
"Yes, I suppose so... essentially" I replied.

"So" she said, bluntly "tell me about what you say, when you talk."

I began to disseminate the elaborate, intricately detailed design of the Breathe Beloved program; duration of calls, scientifically proven spiritual techniques, coaching, shamanic medicine, DNA activation, neural sculpting, hypnosis, and rigorously tested training modules...

"Stop." she interrupted, in a firm and loving tone "You don't need all that."
"You help people much, simply by being with them."

I was taken aback. "Oh?"

"Yes" she went on, "you shine so brightly, and carry such strong medicine."
I sat silent, while she continued.
"You don't need to do anything more than just be there with people, in order to change their lives forever for the better."
"You help by BEING." "That's all you need to do."

I was, as is rare for me, struck speechless.
I could say nothing more than "I...thank you."

"Thank YOU" she bowed "thank you for sharing your light."

She then asked about my prices.
I answered honestly, and without hesitation.

"The gift you are offering is worth 10 times that much." "Charge more."

As she spoke, somewhere within me, something tremendously old and DEEPLY engrained, shattered.
In the course of a few short moments, over a rainy day cup of tea, a lifetime's aggregation of self-doubt, self-criticism, and uncertainty of the value if my work, COLLAPSED, in a puff of numinous dust.

This IMMEASURABLY wise Elder, who has always lived modestly, and made her life's work in the preservation and posterity of ancient spiritual knowledge, had just told me, outright, that the extensive effort which I put into mentoring clients, is wholly unnecessary... as my very presence carries medicine.

Not only that, this high wisdom keeper told me that my pure presence is worth literally tens of thousands of dollars.

ALL obsolete stories of true spiritual guidance and healing being INCOMPATIBLE with substantial financial exchange, were obliterated in that instant, seated in a teashop, while an Elder in a floral silk dress, spoonfed warm vegetable stew to my toddling child.

Just like that, untold egoic and habitually held stories of smallness and unworthiness, were completely INCINERATED.
Needless to say, I wept like a newborn babe.

For me, this was a MASSIVE powder keg of transmutation which had been brewing over the course of innumerable years...
Until that beautiful, venerable teacher placed a match to it.

BOOM.

We are coming out of a tremendously outdated paradigm, Beloveds.

One which dictated that, to be SPIRITUALLY wealthy, one must also be FINANCIALLY impoverished.
It was a paradigm which measured our individual VALUE by how profoundly we had SUFFERED, and equated ease with greed.
A paradigm which labeled prosperity as INHERENTLY evil.
A paradigm which assumed that we were all born without any real value, and that we must work ourselves into a state of CONSTANT exhaustion, just to EARN the right to be ALIVE.

NO MORE, my Loves.

NO MORE wearing energetic burnout as a merit badge.
NO MORE suffering as a measurement of value.
NO MORE more devaluing ourselves and our gifts based on some outdated perspective which insists that claiming our WORTH makes us WORTHLESS.
NO MORE wounded stories of inner and outer scarcity.

Should we choose to continue the narrative which depicts our world as one wherein ALL prosperous Beings are inherently shadow-driven, greedy, spiritually bereft Souls... what sort of world do you feel we are calling in?

Perhaps a world wherein only shadow-driven, greedy, spiritually bereft Souls are allowed to be truly prosperous?

How has that narrative, and the subsequently cocreated world, been working out for us, thus far?

I for one, feel that it is HIGH TIME for a change of script.
In fact, I feel that the page one rewrite of this script is ALREADY UNDERWAY.
Who's with me on this??

This is the dawning of a NEW ERA, cherished Kin.

Indeed, moving forward, we get to CHOOSE a reality wherein we allow ourselves, and one another, to embody BOTH spiritual AND material abundance, simultaneously.
Further, we get to do so with BOTH grace AND ease.

We live in a world of near INCREDIBLE abundance, Beloveds.
We ARE, in fact, abundance, embodied.

We BREATHE energetic WEALTH through our glorious lips, and drip GOLD from our delicious fingertips.

We were NOT made for drudgery and pain.
We were DIVINELY designed to THRIVE in unending BLISS.

We are BORN as worthy, INNATELY valuable, INEXTRICABLY interconnection, children of the Divine.

Let's OWN THAT BEAUTIFUL SHIT...
Shall we?

Yes?
Yes, yes, YES.
