For those who have already read the previous blog posts in
the series about John
of God - Series, today's post is a continuation of the series based on my
personal experience as a visitor to the Casa, specifically gifts I received
after my surgery.
I was fortunate to have a 30 minute appointment in the
crystal bed room prior to the next session, so I headed over to the area. The Casa
sits atop a large crystal deposit and there are rooms where visitors can lay
under these lights. The crystal rooms are similar in size to a massage room and
have a massage like table. The light structures consist of 7 colored lights
that coincide to the colors of the 7 main chakras with attached crystals. I entered the crystal room and got comfortable
on the table. The attendant adjusted the lights to my body’s chakra centers and
left the room. For those who are not
familiar with the Chakras I will speak about chakras in my energy series posts
in the near future.
As I mentioned in previous posts, the current room is the
place where people sit in prayer or meditation while in preparation for
surgery. I have the privilege of being in Abadiânia for 4 weeks, which allowed
me to sit in these rooms after my surgery, relax in the light of the crystals
room, spend time volunteering in the preparation of the spiritual soup that is
prepared for the three morning sessions at the Casa. It also allowed me to
spend time to get to know other patrons and witness healings. As I
want to keep these post to readable snippets, let me discuss one of the gifts I
received called divine fragrance.
As I am sitting in the current room during a morning session
after my virtual surgery, I am surprised by a strong scent of roses that has
permeated the air. What a delicious smell I say to myself, as it saturates my
nostrils. There must be a woman passing by that is wearing this wonderful
perfume, I thought. But the fragrance does not leave me during the 2 hours I am
sitting in meditation in this room, it just goes through periods where the
smell is more intense than other times. Ah, there must be a woman sitting by me
wearing this fragrance I thought.
The session ended and I made my way out to the kitchen area
to enjoy a bowl of soup. I was motioned over to one of the picnic tables by a
gal I had previously met while a Casa visitor. At any given session you could be having surgery
or being a surrogate for another’s healing or in one of the current rooms. As
we ate, we chatted about what a glorious day it was and how nice the session
was that morning. After verifying that she and I were sitting in the same room,
fairly close to one another, I asked her what she thought about the “Roses” smell
in the current room. She said she did not smell any flowers. I let it go and enjoyed the soup, which tasted
especially good to me today, most likely because I was part of the volunteers
who peeled the vegetables for its preparation. There is something about the
smallest bits of service that make things come alive I thought as I smiled and
enjoyed. I looked down at my watch and excused myself from the table.
As I laid there comfortably, once again the scent of roses
permeated the air. It was so intoxicating and although it brought a smile to my
face, it was very distracting to the mini mediation I was trying to perform
while laying on this table getting my chakras cleansed. As the door opened
indicating the end of the session I asked the attendant about the strong smell
of flowers in the room. He turned and
said to me “Lady there are no flowers here.” I further pressed him about any
smells in the cleaning solutions used in the room and he handed me the bottle
that I can tell you smelled nothing like flowers.
I had some time to go back to my pousada for a quick respite
and freshen up before heading back for the afternoon session.
If I had not already mentioned this, Abadiânia visitors
consist of people seeking physical healings as well as healers from around the
globe. There are strict rules that healers cannot practice while in town. Most
come here to increase their vibration or consciousness, as surrogates for the
surgery of another or companions to those seeking physical healings. I was fortunate to meet other healers while in
Abadiânia, like Ingrid Oskarsen a healer from Australia who is very connected to
spirit and staying at my pousada.
I headed back to the pousada, entered my room, kicked off my
sandals and laid down. I could not have been laying there for 2 minutes then
once again, that smell. The Roses smell
was everywhere, and so strong. Ok, I am
not crazy I thought as I leapt from my bed, exited my room and walked into the
courtyard. Ingrid was standing in the courtyards
and was smiling from ear to ear. I walked over to her to say good afternoon and
she blurted out, “Smelling roses are you sweetie.”
“Yes I am, how did you know and why doesn’t everyone else
smell them”, I replied. “That’s a Divine
Fragrance and it is all around you. Roses signifies unconditional love and
comes from the Mother energy” she said nonchalantly. She continued to tell me
that as we increase our vibration that we are opened to other dimensional areas,
like Divine Fragrance. Well I guess that the Casa was bringing me my
wish of increase in vibration and consciousness.
My next post will discuss the miracles of the waterfall with
future posts on other healings I witnessed.
