A thought has been swirling through my mind these days in the midst of war in Israel:
“Because Israel is not being visited, the powers of the land haven’t been able to bring healing to those in need who desire to visit.”
This thought takes me back to the memory of a life-changing 10 Day trip my late Mother and I took to Israel in May of 2000, during our spiritual journey we connected to the land, air & water and it brought an unexplainable “magical” healing to my soul & body.
This trip to Israel gave me the opportunity to immerse daily in spring waters from sacred sources which resulted in a full healing of my womb from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)!
I was at the age of 20 at the time, my main concern / symptom of PCOS my body’s inability to ever have a monthly cycle - the prognosis from multiple doctors since I was diagnosed at the age of 15 year was that I would not be able to have children naturally and by the last day of the trip, after the last immersion (which happened to be in a freezing cold sacred spring in the North of Israel) I woke the next morning and my cycle came naturally for the first time in my life. It was in receiving the gift of my menstrual cycle that I remember feeling and knowing the presence of a Creator Force in our World. Each month when my cycle returns, that ever “knowing” of a power inside me that is greater then me returns.
Fast forward 2 decades (and 4 children conceived naturally), I am now living in Israel and stewarding a sacred spring for healing in the ancient city of Tzfat. My thoughts these days have been focused on the war in Israel and the lack of visitors and essentially a lack of healing that visitors could be experiencing from its sacred lands and waters.
To my surprise, at the same time I was digesting these thoughts, praying for the return of the visitors and the healings, I received a very special message! A brave women in Chicago, sharing that she has desperately been craving to come to Israel called and specifically, she wants to visit my sacred healing waters in Tzfat … with her daughter!
Receiving her and her daughter in Tzfat has been a beautiful full circle gift both because of my prior thoughts of lack of visitors and because of the memory of my own Mother and I sharing Israel’s healing as a pivotal and life-changing point in our journey.
As each day unfolds, my heart grows more awe for Israel, her beauty and her powers.
