Thanksgiving Kisses


“What did it feel like?” I asked my 4 year old son when he placed his hands on either side of my neck giving me Reiki. I hadn't asked him to give me Reiki, he did this act on his own. I had slept twisted the night before and could feel my vertebrae had shifted a bit pulling on my neck muscles.
“It feels like a lot of kisses.” He paused then asked me, “Remember when I taught you about how kisses go inside your body?”
“Can you tell me again? I like that lesson.” I told him.

He has told me this before. My little sage has appeared many times through gentle wisdom that feels so genuine and filled with love. What he has shared with me before is when a person sends kisses to another person, the kiss actually goes inside the person all the way to their heart. And sometimes it even makes it as far as their toes.

Sometimes my son will tell me that he is thinking about something or some place. When I ask him if he remembers much about it, his response is always the same, “No, but it's in my heart.” He has told me on several occasions that he “remembers all The Time in his heart.” Now upon first reading this you may interpret it as he is reminiscing about things, like he is consciously thinking about something. That is not the case. He is talking about knowing all things in his heart. Reaching a place of being with all his experiences and even if he does not remember the details of the events, his heart remembers all he has done. If you could hear the wisdom and sincerity when he states this, it would leave you in wonderment and for some reason it always fills me with hope and a overwhelming softness.

Just think for a moment if we were all as conscious of our hearts remembering all “The Time.” If we knew consciously that our Beings on all levels have all the knowledge we need to know in every moment about where we have been, but we don't have to relive the experiences to connect with what it means with us today . .. wow. What a place of Being. That sentence may confuse some of you, and that's ok. Stay with me.

Many people come to me with issues that they may or may not realize they are still holding onto on a very deep level. But the body has a unique way of communicating. It has a language all it's own. Sometimes I am honored to be able to communicate with some of it's messages in order to see why the person has, say a tight shoulder, for example. It could be that the shoulder is remembering an experience over and over again like a skip in a record (remember those?). It takes an act of consciousness to move the needle over to play the next song, otherwise, it continues to carve a deeper groove in the vinyl. Even if you upgrade to a DVD or CD in this analogy, a deep scratch will not allow the information to be read clearly, sometimes resulting in a totally void disk. Well occasionally, a minor scratch appears (pick the media of your choice), and there is enough information that can still be maintained to make it function more or less without much problem.

My son has the ability to somehow recognize the small scratches, takes note of them and then shines up the media source and returns it play the next song. I can only imagine for him, it's like remembering a familiar piece of music, it doesn't matter any more what the words are or that it has a minor scratch somewhere, it's more about still feeling it resonating somewhere inside. And if he needs to recall it, he simply has to look in his heart to find it. Do you have an old familiar song somewhere deep inside of you that you know, but couldn't sing it if you had to recall it in it's entirety?

The beauty of remembering all “The Time” is that you know in your heart that nothing is lost. No one is left behind. There are no regrets. There are no wrongs or rights. There are simply some things in your life you remember and some places you have been. You don't have to read the book again to know what the book is about and you don't have to re-live everything you have experienced in order to remember the parts of it that your heart already knows.

Change is taking place in many ways right now. When you are not sure where to go next or how to handle the situation, sit and be still. Ask your heart what it knows. Use the words, “I am asking for help with ____________.” Listen to the quiet wisdom that a four year old can offer - your heart knows all “The Time”. Guidance from your inner being can be powerful, but you must remember to ASK for this connection to take place.

The month of November for most of those in the United States will have some focus on our Thanksgiving Holiday. But more than anything, right now in this moment, I want you to remember this year's Thanksgiving Kisses. According to my son, they go in and it's like 100 kisses all around. So as you are saying your blessing and prayers of Thanksgiving this year, please add a silent loving kiss to each of those on your list. My son says that those kisses go into the heart of the recipient and I believe him. I send you all Thanksgiving Kisses, and hope they go all the way to your toes! Open your heart to remember this all “The Time”.

May you be clear, connected and guided, loved, honored and blessed this November.
