Three times today, Barry and I were so psychically connected it was uncanny.
These little episodes happen quite often with us… but three times is a good scoring trick. In hockey, that’s a hat trick! đ
Earlier today I went to get one of my special massages from Donna Schmid. In my opinion, her massages are the best deal I’ve ever found, because it’s not JUST a Swedish or therapeutic massage; it actually affects me more on the spiritual level than on the physical.
The special ingredient that makes her massages so unique, and so valuable, is that she asks the client to come up with an intention before the massage begins.
Not just a physical intention (like, “I’d like to have my upper back worked on because I’m holding some tension there”) but a whole-body intention, that works on the body, mind and spirit too.
Donna taught me to always have an intention when meditating (rather than just letting the thoughts wander where they like), and now she has taught me to always have an intention when getting a massage.
This takes the experience to the next level no matter what you do… even if it’s getting a manicure or pedicure done.
No matter what you’re doing, always have an intention (especially if you’re able to relax and be in your own little mental world while you’re doing it).
The hat trick that Barry and I shared started with my massage-session intention…
When Donna asked me to choose an intention, I told her I had been feeling stress lately, and I didn’t know why. I told her I’d like to be able to get rid of that stress, not just the physical, but the mental and emotional stress too.
She suggested that, instead, I might want to ask for clarity on the stress.
Since sometimes we are meant to experience stresses or other “negative” events, and part of the healing might be actually walking through it, it’s always better to ask for clarity than just to be rid of something.
So I agreed, and that’s what I focused on as she began her massage.
From my subconscious (or super-conscious, I’m not sure which) I got a whole list of things that I’ve been stressing over, and one by one I was told why I needn’t stress about that thing.
One of the things on my list was that very massage; I was stressed because I felt slightly guilty for taking the time off working to have a massage, while Barry sat home alone at the computer.
The answer that I got was that I needn’t be stressed or guilty because I was rejuvenating myself, and hence would be able to work longer and more effectively when I did return to my desk.
And I got clarity on all the points that came up, so I definitely achieved the intention I set.
When I got home, I told Barry how much I loved getting massages from Donna, and why they were so special and powerful. Then I went off to my office and started to work.
He came into the room a few minutes later and asked me what my intention had been. I told him, but didn’t give any specifics on what the individual stresses had been.
“Well,” he said, “I want you to know that you don’t have to feel guilty for getting the massage instead of working.”
“That was one of my stresses!” I said, surprised he zeroed in on it.
“Well, from my perspective,” he continued, “you come back rejuvenated and doing more and better work than before, so it’s a good investment of your time and money.”
Wow. “That’s the same answer I got!” I told him. He was totally in sync with my subconscious mind.
Then he picked up a piece of wood from my dresser, which he had sliced from the bottom of our Christmas tree trunk before putting it up.
“We should put ‘Barry and Heather: Our first Christmas’ on this piece of wood,” he said.
I started laughing. “That’s exactly what I was going to do… and surprise you with it!” I said.
So, twice within minutes, we proved we were thinking the same things.
But let’s not stop there.
A few hours later, he called me to his computer to edit an email before sending it out to one of our subscriber lists.
The email was from both of us, signed “Barry / Heather”, but at one point during the copy it said, “Heather and I… ”
I was looking at that part of the message, thinking, “That should say ‘we’ instead,” and at that moment he called from the other room: “You can change the part that says ‘Heather and I’ to ‘we’!”
Okay, that timing was just too spooky.
“I was just looking at that part, and was about to ask you if I could do that!” I said.
He came in and gave me a hug, and we relished in the fact that we were so connected.
Later on we were sitting together in the living room, and again expressed gratitude for how much we were on the same wavelength… three times within hours.
“That’s a hat trick,” I said.
Barry laughed and said, “Yes it is. A psychic communication hat trick!”
“Good blog post,” we both thought at the same time.
Okay, so I guess it was actually four times today. đ
