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.

  1. hhhmmm…maybe it’s not about giving up! Maybe there’s another part to this story waiting to be presented to you? :o) Let us know what happens, Elizabeth ((HUGS))

    maybe . . .
    maybe you’re supposed to go away and build a new castle.
    one that’s even more beautiful!
    and there will be a new celebration!
    with people who know the new elizabeth.
