Jennifer: I consider myself an aware
person; however, I cannot understand the meaning behind two
recent accidents in my car, neither of which were my fault; then
during the recent flooding in Houston my car received water
damage. There are too many incidences for it to just be a
coincidence.
Suzanne: Yes, you can learn about your
issues even when events appear to be random. You might ask
yourself how your issues might be playing out unconsciously. For
example, where in your thinking are you still a victim or what
emotions, symbolized in the water, are not being addressed in
yourself or your household?
Jennifer: The first thing that comes
to my mind is I am frustrated with myself for not creating more
fun and time to connect with my husband. I say, on the one hand,
that I wish to go out once a week and then procrastinate getting
a baby sitter, waiting too late to find someone I trust to watch
my daughter. I am not clear what my issues are really about
here.
Suzanne: There are a couple of
directions to go with this. One is to ask yourself questions
like: Is it difficult for me to let go of control of what
happens when I am away? Do I find it difficult to trust another
to take good enough care of our daughter for a couple of hours,
therefore putting my needs last? Next ponder your answers to
clear away some of your resistance to healthier life style
choices.
Jennifer: I would answer yes to each
of these questions.
Suzanne: Another approach is to notice
that your car problems deal with drawing events to you. We each,
on an energy level, are a pulsation of being electric and
magnetic. Electric is the part of us that is yang or outward
moving with our energy and magnetic is the part of us that is
yin or inward moving energy. When in balance our lives pulsate
in a natural rhythm. When out of balance, say when we are too
magnetic, we draw too much towards us and our energy field gets
clogged. The correction here is to learn to be more electric or
outward with our energy.
To translate this to your own situation, it
might mean choosing to get a babysitter to move your energy
outward even though your conditioning has taught you to conserve
your energy. As you spend time having fun away from your
daughter, it balances you. This is the first step. It may still
be difficult at first to enjoy yourself when you have a
babysitter in order to spend fun time with your husband. Do not
let this stop you, over time you will learn new patterns that
will balance you and you will not have to experience lessons
with your car.
