Pop

He had my heart the moment I met him. I didn’t understand the role that he would play in my life, but I sure did hand over my heart quickly. 

My socks slide easily on the beautiful old wooden floors. My weight shifted from side to side as energy flowed through me. It was everything that I wanted in life. Teaching people the tools that they need to open to their own spiritual gifts lights my world on fire. The purple twinkle lights, the plants, the tall ceilings, the smell of essential oils, the sense of security all washed over me. 

I could feel him behind me, he literally had my back and I was so wildly thankful for it. I hadn’t spent the day alone with him for months.  On the ride down he pointed that out to me. That morning, I made a promise that I would make more time for him. 

I was talking about the ways that spirits can communicate with us. Sometimes, we can’t hear words but that doesn’t mean they can’t catch our attention. I spoke openly about how my mother can’t hear spirits use their words but there are some spirits who use specific ways to catch her attention. He often makes bottles “pop” for her when he wants to catch her attention, for example during a high intensity moment. I had heard him doing it throughout the day with my seltzer water and asked if anyone else had heard it. Previously, I watched a couple of people look over at him when he had done it. I had not taken a drink from the water bottle for more than an hour at that point. Moments later, I paused and “pop”. Multiple people let out a small scream.

He had my heart the moment I met him and he will remain the best teacher I have ever met.
