Caterpillar

Caterpillar

One day, as I was walking on the road, my eyes fell on a caterpillar. It was crawling on my path. If I hadn’t been looking down, I would’ve stamped it. Just the thought sent shivers down my spine. I shuddered to think of that possibility. Not that I wasn’t wearing my slippers. I was. Yet, that thought didn’t leave me. I hated caterpillars. No, my feelings were much more complex than hate but I didn’t have the word – nay the English language didn’t have the word to describe it. Those things gave a creepy feeling that I couldn’t get myself out of easily.

The entire day and after it was in my thoughts. Wherever I went, I looked for it. I looked below the seat, in the cup, under the table you name it I was certain it would be anywhere and I didn’t want to “meet it”. So, ‘I kept looking for it’. Even after making sure it was no where near me, I would half-expect it to come up suddenly from somewhere. As if the entire brigade of caterpillar were working on a secret single strategy of coming in front of me!

I was tensed. Fear gripped me. I was restless. I even contemplated not going for a walk from that day onwards and all for sight of caterpillar!

Sounds silly! Does it? But, just do a small exercise. Replace ‘caterpillar’ in this episode with the person or situation you ‘dislike’ or wish to ‘avoid’. Please do it NOW and then continue.

The person whom we dislike or the unpleasant incident haunts us all through the day. Our every thought revolves around them. Our every word/talk revolves around them. We are planning how to ‘avoid’ them when we ‘meet them’ in the process generating energies to meet them more often than necessary. Always remember ‘what we continuously visualize materializes itself into our reality’.

Stop thinking about incidents that you fear. It can be anything like –

· My child failing in exams

· My child nto doing well in life

· We not being financially well

· Relative not getting we at all

Et like. Instead start visualizing what you ‘want’ and the see the change of events in your life.

Do reiki with the intention of how you want the things to unfold in your life.

In short, forget the caterpillar. Enjoy your walk of life….
