A Luminary at Work

Lumination

 Journal Entry 2018 Australia

Today I had a fascinating experience. I went to a hair appointment at a lovely salon that I discovered upon arriving in Australia in February. On my previous visits, I had always felt very loved and pampered. Believe me, my Queen archetype does love the royal treatment.
Today however, when I arrived I was directed to the hair washing part of the salon. I sat down in front of a sink and waited and waited and waited some more. I could feel an old feeling arising and became aware of the thought patterns that started to flow. Such as, I am not important enough (victim archetype), what kind of place is this to keep me waiting (Queen archetype) and it is because I am only here for a few months (victim archetype). I could feel my energy rapidly spiralling into victim consciousness and knew I needed to shift the pattern. Is this true? How do I know? What happens when I believe it to be true? Who would I be without these thoughts? The first three questions raised sufficient doubt and I was able to open my heart to the last question. I breathed into my heart centre filling it with love. What if my hair designer was taking special care of someone just diagnosed with cancer, preparing for chemo and needed to feel beautiful to begin her ordeal? My heart filled with compassion and I waited with grace. When I was ushered to the chair after a lovely hair wash and head massage, my hair designer was working with a young woman who had her mother and her two children with her. The loving care she was receiving was so incredibly beautiful. The end result was stunning and many pictures were being taken. It was obviously an important occasion. I smiled and filled their space with love. I was grateful to bear witness.
When it was my turn, my hair designer was so gracious for my patience. She then told me exactly what had come into my mind, adding the detail that this young woman had always had long hair and the thought of loosing her hair with chemo was devastating for her, so my hair designer had suggested as beautiful transition style that took her an hour and a half to create. She also had styled a wig for her in the same style. Oh my heart! The love and respect for this beautiful soul that cuts my hair is overflowing. I am so grateful for my awareness of a destructive pattern and that I chose light verses shadow. I left feeling more love than I could ever imagine feeling. Becoming conscious is a beautiful process with many unimaginable gifts.
