My suitcase has a mind of it’s own

My suitcase obviously has a mind of it’s own. It neither got to Denmark when I did nor returned to Dallas when I did. So interesting to be in a different country for over 36 hours with only the clothes on your back. I thought about the concept of being willing to let go of absolutely everything in order to receive more than you ever thought possible which I have heard so many times before from Gary Douglas.

And as I checked back with the hotel multiple times throughout the next 2 days to no avail, I finally went about my business taking my classes and having fun with friends and when I got back to my hotel at 11:00pm that evening, was told by the front desk that no bags had been delivered from the airport. So as I was contemplating the loss of all my items, yet holding onto some shred of hope that my suitcase would be in my room, I opened the door and there it was!! 

I can’t tell you how grateful I felt in that moment and how even though I knew it wasn’t the worst thing in the world to loose my possessions, I was also reminded how much the universe does take care of me, pretty much continuously and constantly.

When my suitcase decided yet again not to show up at the baggage claim in Dallas and i was told they had no idea where my bag was or what was going on with it, I was again faced with the loss of my belongings! Could I really just let go of ALL that stuff? (This was actually quite a lot considering I was gone for 12 days and had to pack for basically 3 different seasons of weather. Plus I am a total over packer – If my suitcase has any room in it at all, I go ahead and shove 10 more shirts in there!!)

Although this was very discouraging and alarming, what no one seemed to take into account was that I had just taken 3 Access Consciousness classes, 2 of them being body classes and I was total space. I felt wonderful, joyful, and in communion with my body in a way I didn’t even know was possible before last week. So I totally forgot about my suitcase and went about my business the next day being overjoyed to see and be with my horses, get back into my barn routine — lessons, trainer, riding, horse chiropractor, boarders, feed, hay, stablehands, dogs. I didn’t even think to call once to see where the heck my suitcase was!!

Oops! So my suitcase decided to find me instead. They delivered it without me going through one ounce of stress or worry the entire day! Hummmmm…. just how much stress and worry have I clung to to justify getting a desired outcome and how much have I attached suffering and hard work to getting what I want and “making” something happen?

What if I never stressed again but was just the space that I truly be, trusting that the universe has not abandoned me? And what if just by staying with the energy of joy and peace in my body, all the possibilities of the universe open up to do my bidding with total ease? I wonder….
