Growing up I had guides as metaphysical instructors and teachers – both for how to handle my abilities and how to balance them.

I know many of you have heard me say that when I took that first, short intro to metaphysical class (oh so many years ago), how excited I was to learn that there were words assigned to what I did  – and that there were other people out there who could ‘do things’ as well.

On Friday, my mind wandered back to those early days – and I felt appreciation for my non-physical guides and teachers.

I had once asked “Why can’t I have a physical teacher?” and was given a picture of a physical teacher ‘polluting’ my energy stream. Now, that does not mean the physical teacher would have been wrong in his/her teachings – it did mean that their teachings/perceptions were not conducive to my instruction as a child and young adult.

As of January 2009, I was finally given the go-ahead to explore physical instructors and the varied topics/perceptions available today. I got to go shopping!

For over a year, I surfed the net; read every flier which came my way, etc. – and found nothing to ‘grab’ me.

About a month ago, I received an email flier for a long-term class. It was local and it was from someone I had already met.

Except for knowing it was a healing class, I hadn’t a clue what the class entailed. I excitedly asked my guides about the class and got a green-light, followed by “go and have fun!”

The first night of class was basically in intro. As the instructor gave a brief overview, she recited some names which were unfamiliar to me; but, names do come with energy signatures.

I was excited all over again! I have names to go with the very familiar energy signatures from throughout my life of being taught by my guides.

Okay,now back to my ‘wanderings’…

Last Friday I asked again – about the question I posed to my guides when I was younger. “Why wasn’t I able to have had a physical instructor?” The ‘pollution’ answer was okay when I was a kid – now I wanted a real (adult) answer.

I laughed when I received the more in-depth answer; it made so much sense!

All of my life, with my guides assisting me, it never occurred to me that I couldn’t do something – or ever felt that there were ‘procedures’ to follow. For me, there were no boundaries as to what we (humans) could or could not do.

If I tried something and it didn’t work….well, I found another way. I never saw what I did as something with boundaries.

My guides’ point was that: had I had a physical instructor, I might have been taught boundaries (directly or inadvertently).

As an instructor myself, I give guidelines and recommendations (such as shielding before doing any energy work); work with others to teach them to trust and listen to themselves and their guides; and encourage them to experiment (safely).

Anything is possible.

After all, who am I to say, “It can’t be done”?
