I too feel extraordinarily fortunate having gotten to attend the New Year’s retreat at Chalice Well!!

I resonate with your comments above, Jen. That was something I felt to be addressing in attending the New Year’s retreat. But nothing reared its ugly head. What was going on?? It was at this point that Open played “Comfortably Numb” by Pink Floyd. Yeah, there you go!

I received insight about this from Open. He tells me about the Orion souls who were enslaved by the Annunaki, the Greys, and how in incarnating here on Earth, within the “human vehicle” with all of it’s emotional capacities, that such souls have a hard time accessing and dealing with emotions. My own experience in past lives may have been this, or something like this. Interestingly, in reading the article Liberation of the Orions, I resonated with Jen’s comments there, too.

I’m not yet to where I can easily tap into my past life experiences. While this particular Orion (or something similar) experience doesn’t exactly resonate with me at this point, it would certainly explain a lot!! I know I’ll receive my own insights and clarity with time and continued evolution.

The next day at the retreat, I woke up feeling at peace with myself. I now had some context for what was going on within me, and I was happy and most grateful to have that. Beyond this, I felt a strong urge to just leave it be. It’ll come to the surface all on its own; when I’m ready, or when things are catalyzed by whatever is going on within my day to day existence in life. I felt it was best to make the most of getting to be at the retreat, and to enjoy myself and the process we all were going through.

Which I did!! I can’t tell you how much one gets from getting to be with and interact with like-minded souls who are all on a path that, while each is different and unique, is headed more or less in the same direction. The exchanges — the giving and receiving that occurs — is so wonderful!! The retreat activities involved quite a bit of this. The energy there was exceptional, and allowed me to access a deeper sense of self, too. I am feeling so good about everything I experienced, and how affirming of self it all was! Most of all, I can’t adequately express the gratitude I feel to Open, Trinity for the meals she provided that were beyond being food, the facilitators, and all the Openhand folks who are part of this. To those of you who attended the retreat, THANK YOU!!

Here’s sharing the energy I feel. :)
