Angelic Communion Practice: Bubbling Up

Yesterday, during a Live, I mentioned that I have learned a lot over the last few days, but I couldn't put what I learned into words, just yet! I said, that what I have learned will bubble up. Today, while I was looking at recent images I have taken of the magic glass, I found this image. A turtle is watching the bubbles as they rise up. How perfect is that?

When I flipped this particular image upside down, it also looked like a turtle! It appears to be conversing with a small creature. I love the deep listening look on both of them. Maybe they are discussing the bubbles that are floating up around them? 

These photos were taken moments apart, so they are similar, but different. As I reflect on the last few days I realize, that my memories are also similar, but different, from what actually happened in each moment. While living through the pain, fear and actual events, I was feeling the events as they took place. I responded to each traumatic moment in the best way that I knew how to do. 

Looking back, I feel like I did a better job staying centered while helping Image through her hardest moments then I did, staying centered during my own very difficult moments. The pain, the excruciating pain, honestly clouded my thoughts a bit more, than the fear and worry I had for Image during her toughest moments. I remember telling myself and Dan that I needed to distract myself from the pain during the worst of that pain.  

I am still processing both of these "events". I think because both Image and I are still both healing it will take time for the bubbles of insights and wisdom to bubble up completely. I think we are both through the worst of it, though. So, my wisdom bubbles are starting to materialize. An illness and pain can cause serious physical reactions. My blood pressure went sky high when the pain was unbearable. Image's temperature was sky high and her body was lethargic and unbalanced.

Dan and I worked as a team to build her a ramp to get her to the vet. We worked as a team until my poor thumb became crushed between Image's back teeth because I had to fish out the pieces of broken syringe from the back of her mouth. I knew, we knew, I had to get them out. I did it without fear, though, I was aware that she could hurt me. I did what I felt in that moment was what I had to do to save her from being injured by those broken pieces. I also knew, in the back of my mind, that she needed the antibiotics, which I was pulling out of her mouth at the exact same time I was pulling out the 3 chunks of plastic.

When my thumb felt the back teeth crunch down, my perspective changed. I had to go into self preservation mode. I pulled my hand out, dropped the last piece of plastic and grabbed my thumb. Dan told me to go to the house, as he knew I was hurt. He finished chores alone. He found 2 of the 3 pieces I tossed to the ground and put them together to see just how much she may have swallowed. I am so grateful that he took over. I am so grateful that we balance each other when life throws us curve balls.

More life lessons will bubble up, they always do. I know that in that time of pain and fear, I gave myself grace. I also asked my angels, guides and higher power to help me get to the house, to help me wash my hand under the water, to help me as I rocked back and forth on the cot in the ER. I had Dan with me as soon as he finished chores. He wrapped my thumb up to head to the ER. Once at the ER, a friend coincidentally reached out via Text about Image. I told her what was happening, she made herself available to me during that really hard time.  They both helped my brain to let go of the thoughts of pain I was going through.

Deep listening in person and via text. I could feel the care, the concern and the love they both had for me while I was struggling. I just hope, that I do this for others, because having it done for me, was so incredibly powerful. I am so, so, so grateful. 

That may be the deep message that is bubbling up. Empathy, love, caring and kindness. Being there during hard times. Listening to your wisdom during hard times... Being a partner, a friend and a kind soul is felt in person and across miles and miles of cyber space. Heart connections are felt deeply.

When was the last time you were able to help another by listening deeply to their heart while they went through a difficult event? 

Have you had someone there for you during a difficult event? 

How did it feel to be there for someone or to have someone there for you during a very difficult time? 

Manifest a magical day!
