Pillow talk
Posted: Mon Mar 27, 2017 12:01 pm
Here is a experiment I did in my early training days, that I turned into a story. Enjoy!
In the beginning there was a pillow. Sitting there all alone. Hoping someone or something would use me for a pillow and not a booty pad. Everyone just sits their butt on me and complain and complain. "Its so Lumpy! It never stay's put!" thats all they say. "All they do is argue and fight around me. At least they throw me around,,, hitting each other. My life as a pillow is pretty simple", thought the pillow.
One day a stranger came over, to the house. I couldn't see him very well, he was....Soo bright. The closer he got, I would feel a sensation of comfort. He came and sat down next to me, talking to the other humans. "Oh my, the mean one is coming to sit on me, again", the pillow thought. As she was sitting, the man lifted it up and put it in his lap. He intentionally took a moment of concern for me. "Why would he do this", the pillow thinks. "This man feels different".
The mood in the room was a little different, then usual as well. They were all sitting there, talking and laughing. Having a merry ole time. The man then got up and looked at me and started to walk outside, with the pillow in hand. "Where are you taking me", it thought. "I am still a good pillow! What did I do wrong"? It was panicking and didn't know what to think. When the man got to the outside, it was blinding. It couldn't see anything. It was brighter then this man. We walked outside and it felt warm. The air was so refreshing. This man was so refreshing.
The man lifted me up and said, "you look sad and lonely my friend". "Why do you feel so alone? You don't have to be upset, you are doing nothing wrong. You are who you are. You are doing your job and should be happy." He lifts the pillow up to his chest and starts hugging it. "You are a special pillow, and I want you to always feel that you are doing the best you can be and all this light is just as bright in you as it is now." All the pillow felt was compassion. The last thing it remembers, is this big light wash over it and all the loneliness went away.
About thirty minutes passed and we started to walk back in the house. "This is so different then outside", it thought. The man was still hugging me as he sat back down on the couch. It was still blinded by his light and the light from outside, so It couldn't see anything. It did feel a difference with the moods of the people. They all felt relaxed and sounded like they were enjoying themselves. It was actually enjoying itself as well. No one sat on it once, everyone was just useing it on their backs or on the side. My humans felt different then the stranger, but they were starting to shine now. They felt happier with me. I felt happier as well.
The time came for the stranger to leave. He got up and picked me up and hugged me again and whispered, "Don't ever forget, you will always be special". His brightness just shined as he put me down and walked out.
My humans said their goodbyes to the stranger. They walked back to where I was and opened up the curtains. For the first time, they brought the light inside. "So you can bring it inside as well", he thought. My humans sat down with me in between them this time. They were really close to each other and started to shine bright, like the stranger. It was like, I was getting a hug from both of them at the same time.
"They just shined"! That was the last thing I remembered.
It took many years and hard work to get to this level of focus. It can only happen with the belief that "Nothing is Impossible". Anyone can do this to what ever level they wish, with observation and practice.
Thank you for your time and patience and have a great day.
