Seems so much has been happening these last few months … my goal of posting a new musing every two weeks has been overshadowed by learning, letting go and life transitions. Very recently, my dearest Aunt and Godmother passed into the Light. She has had a most amazing influence on my life as well as the fact that I carry her name as my middle name. It may seem somewhat insignificant to some, but I have always held the responsibility that I will uphold this name, Lenora, with the highest of integrity. The name means Shining Light: People with this name tend to be idealistic, highly imaginative, intuitive, and spiritual. They seek after spiritual truth and often find it. They tend to be visionary and may inspire others. If they fail to develop their potential, they may become dreamers, or misuse power. (www.sheknows.com). Shining Light …. yes, this is the expression of my Aunt, in all she did, all she offered, all she gave. Such an amazing soul, she left a legacy for me to follow.
As I sat with her during her last days of this life, I felt her energetic body expanding and contracting. My sister and I were able to hold sacred space for a Hospice Reiki Practitioner who visited and after his session, my Aunt fell into a deep slumber that lasted 16 hours. I was inspired and curious. I have only worked twice before with someone in their transition between this world and the world of spirit. He shared some observations and encouraged me to work more with my Aunt to aid in her peaceful transition. As I worked, with love and compassion, I experienced the shifting in her energetic field. My experienced revealed a slow “shutting down” of each chakra center, reappearing and then disappearing until I could no longer locate the vortex of energy. The Hara weakened and let go in the center first (between the Tan Dien and the Soul Seat), next the Hara to the Earth Crystal let go, the Hara to the Angelic Crystal remained vibrant. The grounding connection from the Root chakra was the next to last to go, while the Crown chakra remained open and flowing. I was not with my Aunt in the last moments before she passed to the Light, but I intuitively understand that her Crown chakra slowed and “disappeared” … and then at some point, the Hara to the Angelic Crystal released — releasing her to spirit, her heaven of heavens.
It was such a beautiful process to witness, such a learning for me. I honor that she shared so willingly this experience to support the loving work that I have chosen, the work where I give unconditionally to others. I am inspired to learn more about the Transition to Light process. I will seek to volunteer with our local Hospice program and hope to help others to transition more easily and peacefully.
My heart is full, aching but full. I feel her Light, I feel her presence. I am so grateful for the role model she was and is, my entire life — to be most proud of my devotion, each and every day.
