I had wanted a Native American
rattle for awhile. However, it always
seemed that nothing was ever quite right.
So, I put it to the Universe that I didn’t want to look for it
anymore. I wanted it to find me. Shortly
thereafter, I arrived early to my teacher’s Shamanic Journeying group. As far as I know, he had never offered items for
sale before, but on this evening as I climbed the stairs to make my way towards
the session, I saw a woman standing next to a table filled with objects he was
releasing and she was holding the rattle—not “a” rattle, but “the” rattle.
My eyes grew wide as I gazed upon
a glowing yellow light emanating from the head of the rattle. It was as though it were a Spiritual flashlight. I was keenly aware that no one else could see
this Light and I was not only captivated, but being drawn into it. Completely in tune with this vision, I then
received the message that this was my rattle.
It didn’t make sense to my logical mind as it was clear this woman liked
it, as well. Since she already had it in
her possession, it seemed to me that it was hers—and yet, the message continued
coming in that it was mine. I couldn’t
keep my eyes off of it and only hoped that what I was hearing was indeed
true.
As I waited for something to
happen, I picked up a pendulum that was on the table. I liked the way it looked and thought about buying
it, but it just wasn’t meant for me. So,
after many attempts of trying to use it properly, I finally put it down. It was this action that created the
shift. For you see, I would learn later
that the woman holding the rattle actually wanted the pendulum I was holding—as
it was calling to her. As soon as I had
placed the item meant for her back on the table, she returned the item meant
for me. The rattle would be mine, after
all. Needless to say, I laid claim to my
new rattle and it has celebrated the Shamanic Journey space with me ever since.
Sometimes, we try so hard to
manifest something, when all we really need to do is to “Let go and Let God.” When we make our intention and allow Spirit
to do its thing, we are simply creating the space for the Universe to do what
it does best—create our perfect realities.
Thank you for reading and
Namaste! (The Light in me recognizes the Light in you!)
