“Get Out of the Way…”

by Awilda Rosario, CSW

It was all started when I attended a workshop facilitated by Mary Stoelting of Pathways of Light. I have always told myself that I was not good at meditation. However, as soon as Mary started her guided meditation, I immediately went with it and heard a voice in my head say, “Get out of the way because I’m going to show you things that you have never dreamed of.” I placed my name on the mailing list and received my first copy of Miracle News several months later.

After reading Miracle News I became interested in learning more about Pathways of Light. When I began the Ministerial Training Program, I was open but was unsure of the outcome. At that point I saw it as another opportunity to further my spiritual journey.

Five months later, I could say that I am receiving much more from these ministerial training courses than what I originally expected. Personally, it keeps on taking me to a level of personal relationship with the Holy Spirit that I have never experienced. My ability to trust keeps on expanding and with it I continue to experience a profound awareness of things that I never ever realized before. I don’t know where all this is taking me, but I know that I am willing to go wherever it takes me.

At the same time, this is impacting people who have been very close to me all my life, including three family members: My cousin and my niece and my nephew’s wife. When I initially contacted Pathways of Light, Robert Stoelting informed me that the courses could be conducted in Spanish and they put me in contact with Rev. Annie Arbonna. I also contacted two friends in addition to the family members and set up a ministerial study group.

We have all gotten much more than we anticipated. Working through the course exercises and the meditations is gradually allowing us to examine and heal aspects of the personality that were never confronted. The group discussions are deep, gentle, humorous and very forgiving. The facilitator is like the Holy Spirit, constantly reminding us of our innocence no matter what comes out.

Moreover, I started to apply what I’m learning with the Pathways program to a depression support group that I facilitate at my job. The results have been nothing short of amazing. For example, one of the participants reports that two serious things have happened to her physical health since she started doing the mediations. Her tremors due to her diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease have decreased remarkably to a point that is hardly noticeable. She also reports that her mental and emotional state have improved so much that her psychiatrist has decided to discontinue her use of Abillify, a medication prescribed for people experiencing symptoms associated with Schizophrenia.

The staff has noticed the transformation in her physical and emotional appearance. She is more confident and has projected a more positive outlook on life.

Another participant also reports having experienced the most complete forgiveness with both her mother and her father while experiencing two different meditations. According to her, her experience was so vivid that she actually felt her mom touching her on the shoulder to remind her to take her medication. Forgiving her mom and dad has given her a sense of relief that she had never experienced before.

The message that I heard back in February about getting myself out the way so He can show me things that I had never dreamt of has become a reality and I truly know that much more is yet to come. I continue to be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to lead my life to where it needs to be.
