Last week and this weekend I've been blessed to meet Divalia. She's a world-renowned psychic healer, who following an NDE and more hardship that any human being should have to go through in their life time, is now dedicating her life to heal people. Having read her book "Divalia's Imago, Flutter to Higher Ground and Success", which I recommend you to read (and honest to God, I am not getting any commissions :-) ), I was moved, I've shed tears, I laughed and was inspired by her life’s story.
Gradually reading through all her Tweets, seeing how she's constantly flying all over the world, being part of the music scene, running healing sessions all over world, mingling with some high profile people, I started to think that she was way out of my league. I mean even Britney Spears follows her on Twitter for God's sake! And so I started to feel intimated and kind of scared of meeting her again for my first "one-on-one" healing session with her.
Now let me reassure you straight away Divalia is none of that. How I can describe her? I've found her to be down to earth, approachable, confident but not arrogant, humble, SO empathic, affectionate, warm, caring and kind. Her heart is as beautiful as she's pretty in the flesh. She's such a lovely person, you'll feel blessed having met her.
But let's come back to me, starting to feel intimidated after reading her Tweets when actually there was no reason for it to be the case in the first place and answer this blog post about feeling intimidated by someone.
Deep down I became aware that feeling intimidated could lead me to being scared which in turn could lead me to be fearful which could lead me to have negative feelings toward her. Feelings which I do not want to have toward anybody, any form of life for that matter and least of all, toward someone like Divalia.
And so I remembered how I remind people around me whenever they feel a dislike for someone else, to consider that the person they dislike is a human being just like they are. The person they dislike is a human being with feelings, just like they are. A human being that can experience joy but also suffering, being hurt and who's heart can be broken too.
Now let's be clear! When I am saying that you should think about the person who you are intimated by, as a human being like you are, I am not telling you to consider that person "just as an ordinary human". I am not telling you to make that person "smaller" in your mind, seeking and making yourself to be at peace and better by feeling "bigger", more powerful, superior.
No, what I am saying is that you should look at the person who you feel intimated by, through they eyes of empathy, care, kindness, compassion, affection.
And so considering Divalia as a human being, looking at her through the eyes of empathy, care, kindness, those feelings of feeling intimated and scared were replaced by feelings of kindness, admiration, affection toward her, and peace.
Bless you Carol'Ann for giving me this experience, inspiring me to write this blog post
