an unfinished story

October 26, 2012

sometimes, when i do a reiki session for a client, i see a series of images that may or may not be accompanied by a story. if i can manage to remember the images and story until the session is over, i like to share them with the client.

i was doing a reiki session for myself one day when i saw the following story.

it is a beautiful day and i am walking down a path. there is lush green grass on both sides of the path.

in front of me is a castle. it looks a lot like the sort of castle you see in story books.

as i walk, the castle grows closer and closer.

when i arrive, the castle gate is closed. i can’t get in. there is a party, a celebration, going on inside. i sense that i am the princess and it is my castle, and that the celebration is in my honor. i can’t get into my own castle and my own celebration.

i try to scale the castle wall but i fall down before i reach the top.

i try to slide through a tiny hole at the bottom of the castle wall but i don’t fit.

i run around the castle, trying to find another entrance, but there isn’t one.

i push and pull at the castle gate, but it is to no avail.

at this point, the story stopped. i couldn’t see the ending. my sense, however, was that the ending, the way into the castle and celebration, had something to do with giving up, though i didn’t know if it had to do with giving up or with giving up something.
