The confession of a bewieldered wife
Posted by: Malabika in Ad lib, Cases, Energy Healing, tags: Add new tag, addiction, husband., Open Heart, relationshipShe is in her forties with two young children at 11 and 8. She works as a teacher. Her husband is a teacher too. He, bless his heart, financed her higher education allowing her time two years for an advanced degree. There is much they have together, to do, to build on.
But he has an addiction. He gambles. He gambles away the family resources. In his saner moments he regrets, promises never again and is remorseful. Then the animal strikes again and he is back into it.
She has, for a long time, felt anger, resentment, bitter, unsupported and has tried everything in her power to get the man to change this destructive behavior. All to no avail. Then she has actively considered leaving him. It is an alternative, but there are other disadvantages in the culture and country she belongs. For months she has struggled with this.
Then she started to apply the ‘way of the heart’. She meditated on the issue, opened her heart, did Reiki and used many other Energy healing tools that I have taught her over the years. When we spoke recently after a gap of many months, this is what she confessed.
She said, “I no longer feel angry and resentful towards my husband. I can see that he is human and he is running from life. Gambling is his escape. I can neither change him, nor help him, if I am always angry. Moreover it was making me into a terribly bitter person. Now I have surrendered it all to a greater power. I am not sure whether I will stay in this marriage or not. But I am sure that things will work out in a way that will be good for us — me, my husband and my children. I know I will know when to act and what to do.”
I heard the great relief in her voice. I heard a quiet strength that was neither fighting nor in a rush to run and hide. She was in a space of great acceptance and open heart. No more blaming and shaming. The Energy was flowing through her in great abundance.
And if her husband is to learn some of his own life lessons, there would not be a more opportune time to do so.
