The Boomerang Effect ~ Yes, It WILL Come Back!

Some people call it Karma. Some call it Payback. Or the proverbial Golen Rule. I call it the ol' Boomerang Effect. You know, when you do something or say something or even think something....and next thing you know, it comes right back to you. Now this can be cause for alarm or celebration, depending on what you started in the first place. Like if you wish someone a happy day, it's likely you're going to have one too. But if you wish that knucklehead behind you who's riding your bumper so close you can see the whites of his eyes would wrap himself (and his big-assed SUV) around the nearest telephone poll, well...you might want to reconsider that wish. Because you never know what might jump out in front of you when you least expect it.

Part of the reason I'm talking about this is there's been a whole bunch of very cool stuff going on in my world lately. It seems that the past year and all it's struggles have actually taught me some pretty amazing stuff. While it hasn't always been pleasant, I've had the great blessing of having folks around me who really care. They've all tried their best to help me through this little 'detour' and provide as much support as they could. They've also continued to encourage me to keep the faith, so to speak. At times it's been so hard, so excruciatingly painful, that I wasn't sure I was going to live through it. Other times, however, it's felt as if someone wrapped me in the softest cashmere, holding me close and filling me with love. I think they call it God Connection. Whatever the case, I can see now that it's all been for my 'highest good'. It's so clear to me now (isn't it always clear in 'hindsight'?) that this entire experience has been my own kind of hibernation. Or maybe 'cocoon' is a better word. A transformation in the works.

When faced with dis-ease, especially something that immobilizes you, it's easy to slip into the dark abyss of hopelessness. Days when the pain is so great all you can do is lie in bed and sob or pray you'll die....well, those are the worst moments. But then, little by little, as we let go of the psychological pain and just allow our body to do what it does, the pain begins to diminish. The light appears at the end of the tunnel. The abyss turns into a crack. Healing begins. And if we can manage to trust that 'all is well', even when we don't feel like it is, we find our way back to wellness and a whole new dimension of Self. In other words, a whole new beginning.

The Boomerang Effect is about seeing all those good, hopeful thoughts come back around. Being able to find gratitude in one's heart while going through any trial causes us to have more to be grateful for. And when, at last, we can see that by staying grounded in trust we find our way to that lightness of Being again, everything begins to make sense. Everything begins to glow with that stunning light of hope. The world is right again.

Turns out that because I've managed NOT to get all crazed about this experience, and I've done my best to live in that grace of gratitude, all sorts of people, circumstances and magick are showing up to move me forward. I have this new passion, a brand new purpose. And the moment I committed myself ALL KINDS of people began to show up. It's almost hard to believe (but I DO believe it!). Phone calls from strangers who heard about my 'mission'. Letters. Emails. Total strangers in line at the grocery store. All of them offering their help in this endeavor. It's Magick! So, the next time you think it's hopeless, whatever 'it' is, try to remember that part about grace. Take a breath. Take another one. Close your eyes for a second and feel the flow of lovely energy that surrounds you. And, no matter what, remember your Boomerang. It'll come back. I promise.
