me? impatient?

(that sound you hear is me and ALL my angels laughing with tinkling bells and chimes a-gong.)

Dana, you are beautiful and you have many gifts to share with the world. Don't be impatient. You are on the right path. Everything comes in divine timing.... there is no rush. Angels often laugh at how much I am in a hurry to get there (where????). You are already doing more than you probably think you are.

With lots of pink love and light

Thank you. This discussion is helping me clear the fear (which I wrote about waaaaaaaaay down at the botom:) I don't think it's a debilitating fear, just one I"m becoming conscious of. But there is another aspect of this I"m still exploring in myself. While I may have the normal healing powers of a pink human once I fully open up to them (an idea that is beginning to excite me), I also enjoy facilitating change in the world beyond individuals, which I do through my work and board volunteering. Perhaps that will change over time, but I'm also trying to experience Pink in the context of the organizations I work with, and understand what it means to be a healer and a leader - and to support leaders - perhaps finding ways to heal them even though it's not healing they seek. I know understanding myself as a healer (pink, magical angel eye see-er etc.) is part of the process, but again, vocabulary is still confusing me as I look for words that resonate with me - and importantly - with my clients:) It's not upsetting me, this conversation is just catching me mid-noodling the subject:)

I very much appreciate your insights and faith in my abilities:) It means a lot to me as I noodle around (publicly!) on all this stuff. Thank you very much for seeing me with your angel eyes:)

Love, Light and Acceptance of what IS

Oh this is such a wonderful discussion.

Dana, I smile at your words and please don't think I am looking down on you or anything. Before I trained as a healer (and to me this is a contradiction in itself because I don't think you can be trained as a healer because it is a quality of heart anyway), I was told by a clairvoyant that I was a natural healer and that I had healed many people through my life (I was then a corporate lawyer) but it was time for me to decide whether I wanted to make this my path or just a "hobby".

What I said earlier still holds true: we are all healers from birth, just like we all have legs. But not all of us turn out to be runners... and then there are many types of runners... but then I thought, if God (sorry for the reference but although i am not religious, I have always believed in God, or now I say the Goddess) has given me this gift, this amazing gift, then surely I am meant to use it.

What this gift implies is not me asking for a specific outcome, Dana. I wouldn't do this if I was asked to do it. What this gift implies is seeing people who come to me with angel eyes. Their angels come to me and open my eyes to their incredible beauty and as I see their beauty I reflect it back to them. The love in my eyes (inspired by their angels) melts away the shame, the guilt, the feelings of inedaquacy (not sure of the spelling).... the hurt... the worry... and then they are able to see the light in themselves and realise that they are beautiful amazing beings of light. I am not doing anything. I am just being.

In the words of this discussion: I am feeling the pink in me and seeing it in others. Nothing more, nothing less. And that, in itself, is pretty amazing. And Dana, you are already doing it. Why are you so afraid? Don't let words scare you. If you don't like the word healer (and many people don't) then use the word "faciliatator" or "divine catalyst"... words should never come in the way of the deepth of the process and its awesome beauty.

When I attune people to reiki, as a teacher, I do nothing than clearing the negativity in their aura to show them the light in them and their divine connection... this is the reason why I call myself a soul awakener, not a healer. But most of the time, people don't have a clue what I am talking about.

Nowadays, i love to walk in my light when I go to the supermarkets and just extend my aura so that the whole supermarket is covered and let the healing energy that the angels pour through me touch the people who need it most, anonymously... as a free gift to this planet that needs a lot of healing. I am a walking pink machine.... does that make any sense.

So you are right: when you just sit in your pink centre and see the pink in others, that's all that is needed. Let the fear leave your heart because it will stop or hinder the process.

Big love

Wow, Pinkies. I'm wiping away tears. You GET IT! Thank you for the validation.

A few thoughts:
Alice, you ARE a healer. Any true healer is merely a facilitator- not a fixer, just someone who holds up the mirror so someone else can see how to heal themselves. You're a healer- OWN IT.

Mike Dooley writes this (and I think it applies to all healers and how we interact with others)
"The reason others think they need you is because they don't yet fully believe that they already have all that it take to have all that they want, so they pretend you hold the key."

All we do as healers if hold up the mirror so others can see that they already hold the key themselves.
The same goes for all of you, Pinkies. I don't hold the key- YOU DO. And by being here and seeing everyone here with magical eyes, you bring out the healer in all the other Pinkies. You hold the mirror so we can see our keys.

Lisa- I'm so sorry about your brother in law. That must bring up so many mixed feelings. But yes, carry the PinkEffect in your heart and approach everyone there with love, allowing them to be wherever they're at and holding up the mirror so they can see that they already have the key to start to heal. You will be a blessing at what is certain to be a challenging situation. You can be the light of the room- and everyone will feel your heart. It will comfort them.

Caren, yes I absolutely can see the PinkEffect as a global movement. You Pinkies inspired me on this post, and I just posted about it today:

Anges (for the rest of you who may be confused- her name is Agnes and Anges is her nickname- I asked!),
I love what you said: "Every one has the healing capacity wired into them from the moment of their birth, but this gift is often neglected or plain unknown to most. I don't do anything other than revealing in them what has been their birth right and gift from the start:." AMEN, SISTER!

And Dana, what can I say? You have witnessed this whole transformation with me. You shine the bright pink light on me so that I can find my own key. THANK YOU.

I love you all
Lissa

At first I could only think of one Pinkie Pal - my business partner - but by nightfall I'd thought of another - my Mom! My relationship with my mom has been an ongoing struggle for me and I now see that applying the PinkEffect - focusing on 'seeing' the Pink inside her - is the answer. Also, last night, I realized that next year I'm going to be going into some new situations, having been invited onto a Board of Directors and a County Commission, which will probably expose me to lots of new personalities which I would traditionally find challenging. Everyone of them is going to get me seeing Pink when I look at them:)

The cool think about looking at other people with magical Pink eyes is that it often sparks something in them that they'd forgotten about because it so often goes unseen by others. But the best part is what it does for the Pink See-er. The whole world and everyone in it becomes more beautiful. The strife becomes 'just work' that has to be done, not fought or railed against. I'm looking forward to 2010 more than ever now:)

On forgiveness - I want to stay present with this question. I don't know if looking at people with magical pink eyes means forgiving themselves in a complete sense. Forgiveness implies it's own form of judgment - even if it is moving from a judgmental state to one of non-judgment. I am going to focus first on merely SEEING their pink and attempting to speak and act in such a way that it's clear I'm SEEING their pink. I will observe what role forgiveness plays. Hopefully that will help me understand the relationship between 'seeing with magical pink eyes' and 'forgiveness.'

Anges-I think the thing I (still) struggle with as a "healer" or "soul awakener" is that I have no special powers that I'm aware of. I can sense energy in very rudimentary ways but I don't feel called to develop these skills other than to live a more healthful life for myself. I think I'll be accomplishing a lot to just get in touch with my own body and body-mind connection! And as far as helping others, it's just something I like to do and always have in whatever way I can. I know my own view of the universe and our role in it (which is always developing because I'm such a student and learner, I don't ever think I'll feel like the master). The idea of playing any kind of assertive role in their awakening or healing is almost frightening to me (see below). BUT I love the idea of simply BEING with them, of SEEING the Pink in them and openly showing them that I see their pink in whatever way they can understand it, even through a smile and well-placed word. THAT, I can do!

Honestly? I think that is how Lissa has begun holding this space for us - the vibration - you call it. And by doing that, by witnessing us and encouraging us to witness each other, we are learning to do the same. To put your comments and Caren's together - I think that is the PinkEffect. When we are all SEEING the pink in each other, it raises the vibration of our "space" without denying or ignoring in any way all the other colors we carry around in us (not all of which are so pretty as pink). And yes, if there were more people in the world doing it, the world's "vibration" would naturally rise.

Lissa
As I think I said below, this is a very powerful concept - even as evidenced by this discussion. But we need a little more guidance on 'how to see with magical eyes' in order to conduct this PinkEffect experiment in 2010. I think it would be a fabulous New Year's Blog Post on the OP blog and Group in the Posse. I am more than happy to help however I can, as are many others I think. Just call on us and we will be here, learning to see with magical eyes and shining our magical eye-beams of pinkness on the world. *laughing* (Oh boy, I'd love to see what graphic Joy can find for THAT one!)

I have always loved the pink panther... but she deserves to be a proper "she"... any ideas?

Comment by Anges de Lumiere on December 19, 2009 at 10:09pm

Pink is the colour of the heart chakra (mingled with green) at least traditionally. What a perfect name for this space. Of course, OP is a natural space to heal because Lissa holds the vibration of it for all of us to be at the right "pitch" or frequency to effect this wonderful alchemy.

I agree with Alice as I am also a Reiki master teacher and I call myself a Soul Awakener. Every one has the healing capacity wired into them from the moment of their birth, but this gift is often neglected or plain unknown to most. I don't do anything other than revealing in them what has been their birth right and gift from the start: as we all come from heaven and so we shall return... we just tend to hide our light behind layers and layers of fear, hurt, jealousy, anger... and just as clouds can only screen the sun... these can only create the illusion that we are bad persons or not as good as others.

Comment by Caren on December 19, 2009 at 10:00pm

Dana, I really like the idea of carrying Pink in your heart. I feel like I am starting to do this more and more everyday. Can you imagine the PinkEffect as a global movement and what a wonderful Pink world this would be. I don't know who my Pinkie pal is yet but I believe the Universe will reveal that to me when the time is right. The path to forgiveness isn't always easy but I must say since recently becoming a Pinkie I am more accepting of others. I am learning that everyone has a path to walk. Thank you for your beautiful spirit.

Wonderful beauty in your heart to see this opportunity to help the healing heart she will be struggling to find in the coming months and years. Good luck keeping the perspective during what will undoubtedly be a difficult day for everyone. Forgiveness is often harder than we think it will be, so don't be too disappointed if it's hard, but for your sake, I hope it's not. Thank you for carrying Pink in your heart.
Love, Light and Forgiveness
