Sitting at the Feet of the Master

by Rev. Christine Anderson, O.M.C.

On December 20, 2003 I became certified in Reiki-reflex and Reiki-ssage. One of the requirements for certification was to give 100 hours of documented sessions. To my delight, many of my friends and relatives supported my venture and many “put their feet in my hands.”

I learned so much through the practicing and I loved receiving the helpful feedback from everyone.

The pile of documentation forms was growing steadily. However, I looked at the calendar and realized that to meet the deadline, I needed to come up with some way to do several sessions daily. I got quiet and asked Spirit for guidance in this matter. Guidance came in the form of an idea: “Call and offer the sessions to the local hospitals.” Again to my delight, within a few days I received a call from the director of the pastoral care department at one of the hospitals. She was very receptive to my offer and invited me to come and give sessions for a week in a lovely little healing room located right in that department.

All who came for a session were very willing to share about their experience. They gave me wonderful documented feedback and helpful suggestions.

And yet again was I delighted! On my last day, I was scheduled to practice with four nuns at the convent adjacent to the hospital. These “angels” were all around 90 years of age. I say angels because it seemed as if there was a light around them like we see on the TV program, “Touched by an Angel.”

I could see so clearly their childlike innocence. I was amazed at their stories of traveling the world to do one thing: Serve God and Jesus.

As I sat at their feet, I could feel so much Love, the Love of their own Christ Spirit pouring through them. Here I thought I came to give and I was given so much.

Each of the Sisters expressed their heartfelt appreciation. I told them that they were the ones who were giving me the gift by allowing me to practice and giving me the privilege of sitting at their feet whilst their wisdom and love came pouring through them to me!

Oh Lord, let me remember those who are resting upon their completion of a task well done. They have paved the way for me and have even met me on the homeward path. They do me honor by receiving my Love… I feel theirs coming back to me… It is the same Love… We are bathing in the same light… I feel the complete circle of giving and receiving.

With hearts and minds full of love and wisdom, they know there is always more to come in the way of serving… Only a short pause to rest and to reflect… to touch the gathered wisdom like a beautiful bouquet… tossing it to the winds to be scattered like seeds… falling upon fertile soil… to grow again… to rise up to the sun!

May I always be in sincere appreciation of their great strides to awaken in their own perfect way.

My heart sings a song of joy, a song that holds the perfect rhythm of all of the steps they have taken to open to Love… to serve… to pave the way for me… And still they are willing to learn and receive… for in their wisdom, they know that giving is receiving.
