Experiencing Abundance after Burglary
Several weeks ago, I received a lesson in trusting the energy flow of the Universe.
Where there is Yin, there is Yang.
Where there is Loss, there is Receiving.
Where there is Lack, there is Abundance.
This is the breath of the Universe. It invites us to flow with ‘What Is’.
In early April, Live Your Light office suite was broken into. I arrived to work on Monday morning and found the suite door unlocked. The cabinets were open with a cigarette butt and ashes on the floor. The small bills of cash I kept for change had been taken, along with a tripod and phone charger.
It appeared nothing else had been impacted.
Through the shock of the break-in, I was incredulous at my fortune. The most valuable things in my office were untouched. The singing bowls, meditation pillows, crystals, and plants were all intact. Nothing was broken or damaged.
Even still, I felt a tremendous violation. In the following weeks, sounds in the hallway would make me feel vulnerable. It’s amazing how these things get into our head and grow. The more we think about it, the more power is given to the event. I have to keep reminding myself that this is likely a single event, not personal, and won’t happen again.
And then a miracle from the Universe came into my life. 15 minutes after discovering the break-in, I received the most beautiful windfall of gifts. A local woman (stranger to me) was releasing her attachments: home, car, worldly possessions. She had asked a mutual friend to drop off a carload to the local thrift store. On her way, this friend thought I might be interested and stopped by to say hello.
While I am not in need of anything, I agreed to look through the items. To my surprise, so much of it lit me up!
There were many spiritual items, including Oracle cards, crystals, candle-holders, and spiritual books that stirred excitement in my heart. She is similar in size to my daughter, who was thrilled to inherit rock climbing shoes and stylish sweaters. My son was excited to receive the macramé plant hangers and artwork. There was even a sweatband from my alma mater and a high quality backpack to replace the one that I’ve been using for 20 years.
It was as though this perfect stranger had curated the ideal gift for me and my family. She gifted me things that I would want and use, but have internal struggle in buying for myself. It was as though she knew me well and was communicating with my soul.
All of this within 15 minutes. The break-in. The loss. The vulnerability. The receiving. The abundance. Feeling seen.
What an absolute gift to experience the Yin and Yang coexisting. What a powerful reminder that we are held when in need. We can go with the flow, experiencing Lack and Abundance simultaneously.
Maybe the robber needed that money and electronic accessories more than I did.
Maybe he simply needed to enter the high vibration of my office and be welcomed to increase his frequency.
Maybe I needed the reminder that the world has got me and I am whole.
It’s always a value to reframe. How is your recent challenge working FOR you?
