The Story of my Pendant

The lights were soft and low.

In the background, the haunting sound of ancient chanting enticed me into deep trance. I was in the middle of a very beautiful ceremony where I was becoming a ‘Reiki Master’.

As my own Reiki Master came before me and performed the secret ‘attunement’ a very unique symbol came into my awareness.

As she opened my hands and blew into my palms it appeared in my mind’s eye plain as day, though it was quite exceptional in it’s design.

No information was given with it, just the symbol itself along with a most wondrous state of pure and utter bliss!

After the ceremony was completed, I immediately drew the symbol out on a sheet of paper. I asked my Reiki Master and the 11 others in the group if they had ever seen such a symbol?

None had.

I left the centre that day very different from when I entered it.

Despite my bewilderment of what it all could mean, this new symbol and state of euphoria filled me heart and soul with an all encompassing feeling of Love, Peace and Oneness.

I was ‘Utter Bliss’.

That evening happened to be, ‘Samhain’ or, ‘All Hallow’s Eve.’

The night ancient tradition holds, when the veil between worlds is the thinnest. Known as an exceptional night for Past Life Regression and Past Life Recall.

A perfect night to connect with the Other Side and hear from Loved Ones (pets included), Ancestors, and/or any Beings of the Light willing to give us information deemed helpful to us on our path.

I’d waited months to indulge in the precious energies of this singular night, and those were the two reasons I was eager to do the Connection Ritual….

Yet I couldn’t resist bringing into my little meditative circle of Light, the drawing I’d created of my new symbol.

Though I didn’t feel the passage of time, I was about 40 minutes into deep meditation and strangely, nothing was happening…

No loved ones… No ancestors…

Even my Beloved Shane was silent.

There was no one wanting to give me any messages at all it seemed, or even just pop in to say, ‘hello’.

I then said to myself, ‘O.K… If none of my loved ones wants to visit with me, then maybe I can get some answers about this symbol I received during my attunement.

In truth, I had been unable (or unwilling?) to clear my mind of it for the entire 40 minutes.

Indeed, lit only by the candle’s glow, like moth to flame, I couldn’t stop myself from repeatedly turning to the drawing, my fingers tracing it’s incomparable outline over and over.

Finally, I acquiesced to what really was the true mission for me this night.

I allowed my eyes and my full, now relaxed attention to rest upon it’s unique design. As I drank in each curve and line of it, slipping easily into deep Alpha state, I began to meditate,

‘What Does This Symbol Mean?’

Fluidly, I received an answer…

I was given that this, was a symbol of

“CONNECTION”…

I was moved to look at the ‘top magnet'(so to speak) and heard,

“As Above”…

Then I was moved to look at the ‘bottom magnet’ (so to speak) and received,

“So Below”…

Then viewing it in it’s entirety with the bars and the circle joining the two ends together, heard…

“AS ABOVE SO BELOW”.

Then I was given,“This is a very powerful and protective symbol of your

“CONNECTION.”

I was joyous with this information, as when I heard the words ‘connection’ and ‘as above so below’ it clicked something in my brain yes!

How perfect is this symbol showing the joining of our two worlds…

Earth & Spirit, Spirit & Earth…

Luckily, I had the forethought to not ‘bliss out’ again and ask another most pertinent question…

“WHO HAS GIVEN ME THIS SYMBOL?”

“WHERE HAS THIS COME FROM?”

The instant I projected that thought, my Mental Screen began to play a movie of what I instinctively knew were images of my past lives…

It started off slowly at first, allowing me to ‘recognize’ a couple of more recent past lives, being a soldier in a cavalry and as Fayla, the Native Indian Medicine Woman. This gave me a chance to understand what was happening.

Then it sped up, until it became a blur of blinking bits, of life after life, going back… back… back….

It suddenly stopped and showed me an image of a ‘Viking’ at the helm of his ship… I was zoomed in on his helmet with the two big horns going up in the shape of a magnet and I thought well that is almost half of the symbol, but it’s not my symbol!’…

The instant I thought that, the blur of past lives resumed its montage and this time when it stopped, I did not see myself as a third person looking on, but rather I ‘was’ the person standing there.

I was standing on a beach, it was night, but I instantly knew where I was…

I was in Lemuria…

The moon was full and bright and I could see quite clearly…

The ocean was calm and very beautiful…

I looked down at myself and saw that I was wearing a long, simple white gown… my arms and my feet were bare.

I could see that my skin was a deep, tan colour and my hair that was softly blowing in the warm breeze was black and long past my waist.

Just then, I felt a cool, little wave splash upon my feet and I looked down and caught my reflection in the water…

My hand immediately shot up to my throat where I felt the item I so clearly saw reflected in the water…

It was my ‘symbol’…

It was attached to a silver collar I wore around my neck…

A feeling of profound sadness washed over me as I fingered the symbol… I knew that it was given to me from ‘my people’ and that I wasn’t going to see them again…

I looked up to the beautiful night sky which was filled with twinkling stars.

And what I saw next, rocked my very world…

There in front of me, about fifty feet up, I saw my symbol, clearly, completely, without a doubt…

Emblazoned in Light, right there, on the side of a …….

Space-ship…

And I thought,

“WHAT?!?!?

I was instantly back to 3rd person observation position.

WHAT THE?!?!!? OH GAWD NOOOOOO!!! NOT ALIENS!!!

OH MY GAWD THE SYMBOL CAME FROM ALIENS??? JEEEESSSUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MUUUUUUURRRRPHYYYYYY!!!!

MY PEOPLE ARE ALIENS?!?!?!?!”

 

The ‘me’ on the beach was still looking longingly up at the space craft.

However, “I”, at the time, had a little problem with the whole explaining ‘aliens’ thing…

Spirit Guides, Guardian Angels, even the wee-one’s from the old country Leprechauns & Fairies, no problem! But Aliens?

People already think I’m cracked! I lamented to myself…

My little mental rant was interrupted when my verbiage was corrected and I was told,

“NOT ‘Aliens‘”…“Enlightened Beings.”

(which for some reason, made me feel better)

“There are many who come from God…

Many you do not understand… as of yet.

Do not fear… Do not judge…”

 

My attention was back on the symbol.

It was worn close around my neck, on the ‘throat chakra’ about an inch long and held there by a silver collar. There was a brilliant blaze of light which shot out from it’s centre.

I instantly knew this is what I was suppose to do now.

The Enlightened Beings wanted me to once again, wear it….

As soon as I ‘got the message’, I was instantly back, sitting at my kitchen table, with this… humungous bit of information… I was just buzzing!

I laid down, but I couldn’t fall asleep, I just lay there, buzzing and staring off into… well… space… 🙂

All I could think of was, ‘I can’t tell anybody this!’

‘They think I’m crazy just doing Reiki!! How can I share this now’?!?!?

‘I don’t know’… I answered myself…

I just know that I am incredibly drawn to this symbol.

I LOVE looking at it and repeating its name over and over as though I’ve found a lost friend…

It fills my heart each time!

I don’t know how to put it except, that I feel, it ‘expands me’…

And I know, that I am strongly led to have this symbol fashioned just as I was shown and begin wearing it at my throat chakra.

That was many years ago…

I did indeed have my symbol recreated as I once wore it so many lifetimes ago and I have been blessed to wear it since.

I imagine some of you are wondering why I didn’t ask the one question which would seem the most important of them all…

“Why was I given this symbol?”

I guess my Higher Self knew that the answer to that would come in the journey I would next embark upon…

I’ve lived and learned so much more since that fateful ‘All Hallow’s Eve.’

But that is a story for another page to be shared, later…

Or not….

I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts and comments below.
