There is a great love that exists within us, waiting for us to notice and return to it – Patricia Meier’s story

There have been three times in my life where I have felt the feeling of “Being Love”. This is a feeling that is truly impossible to describe in words, as hard as I try, I’ve found it nearly impossible to convey in words. 

March 1991:

A drunk driver hit me just outside of my childhood home. Miraculously, I survived a ride on the hood of his car with only minor injuries, the greatest impact being the loss of my sense of smell.  

In my search to regain my sense of smell, I discovered Reiki and during a 2^nd degree Reiki class I relived the accident and had my first experience with the feeling of “being love”. This experience, as best I can describe it follows:

During a practice session, I found myself on the cold asphalt and saw the sparse patches of snow on the grass to one side of me. The blinking lights of an ambulance were on the other side and I was on the ground.  

I felt so alone in that moment, like there was no one else on earth, so sad and utterly alone; more alone than I had ever felt in my life. Suddenly, above me two amber lights approached; they were in fact amber eyes, and I exclaimed “OH!  There you are!” I floated up, following these eyes up, up, up into the ethers towards a bright, white light. Upon entry, I felt an all-encompassing feeling of love. Not being loved, not being in love…BEING LOVE. A blanket of adoration and acceptance filled my entire being with a sense of oneness and peace. I would have liked to stay there forever.

My innate wisdom told me that the amber eyes belonged to the Arch Angel Michael and it was he who had protected me in the accident and taken me to the light, if only for a short visit.

Although I would find myself connected to AA Michael energy in my mediation and Reiki practice, it would be many years before I would experience that feeling again.  

Fall 2013/Winter 2014:

I discovered the gift and beauty of sound healing. This was one of the most intense journeys inward of my life, using sound in ways I had never dreamed of before. 

I was invited to do a sound blessing at Bonnie Bogner’s for a reunion of her Essence of Angels students. The sounds that arose as I opened myself were like nothing I had experienced before. Later in the evening, Bonnie approached me directly and observed that I was channeling sound. In fact, she said, that was what the Galactic Counsel sounded like to her.  She followed this up with a question that would both haunt me and propel me towards the next leg of my learning journey. “Patty, do you know who you ARE?” I stuttered back “Uh, I think so. Maybe…. I don’t know?” She looked at me with a casual yet omniscient smile and said, “No, you don’t…but you will.”  

It was in Bonnie’s Soul Alignment two class, when I had my second experience with being love.

Step through the door, my partner instructed and look at your feet. Tell me what you see. I am wearing sandals, I said. Golden in colour, with laces that go up my calves, and a long, flowing white gown. My fingers are long and white and my hair is a sea of golden red cascading down my back in beautiful curls.

Look around you, she said and tell me what you see? OH!  I exclaimed there are children all around me and I am their teacher. It is my job to teach them to remember that THEY ARE LOVE and to not lose that knowing when they leave this place. I use sound and light to teach them to walk gently upon the Earth and leave no trace. I was filled with utter adoration for those beings who surrounded me and felt again the feeling of BEING LOVE. 

Waking from this hypnotic remembrance did not immediately remove the feeling of BEING LOVE and I longed to retain it. My greatest wish was that I could bottle the feeling and give it freely to everyone on the planet.

Although I was unable to maintain that vibration of Being Love for any length of time, the recall of this dream stayed with me and any time I tell this story my energy rises up to a level of peace and calm. It was key to knowing who I really am and who we all truly are deep inside, locked up in our hearts and shadowed by our minds.

February 2018

I joined Bonnie and others on a Master Healers’ Retreat in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. The following experience happened on the second or third night of the retreat.

Something awoke me at 1:30 AM, a sound or perhaps a feeling, I’m not sure. I look towards the window and see something blinking. Reaching for my glasses and am stunned to realize that the window is acting as a picture frame and within its bounds is the perfectly centered constellation of Orion. The blinking is coming from his belt. As I stare in sleepy wonder, I hear these words in my mind.

Are you ready?

I stammer back “I think so. I’m not sure. I’m afraid.” At which point I fall back into a deep sleep.

I felt my crown chakra melt away as if someone were pouring warm honey over it. My whole body vibrated up in energy in a beautiful and pleasing way and I fell back into a deep sleep. In the morning, when I awoke, I had the third blessed experience of BEING LOVE. I basked in the vibration until it faded and I grounded enough to be able to wander my way downstairs and share my experience.   

I firmly believe that this feeling is available to all of us and that we must choose it. We are LOVE at our core. We are all sparks of One Divine Light; a Unified Field of Existence and we are here with a prime directive to experience the polarities of a human life. We are here to know the light and the dark, the good and the bad, the right and the wrong as well as the masculine and feminine polarities here on Earth.  

All choices, all ideas in creation and all experiences exist for us. We have the gift of Free Will and can choose to act on any of the ideas which arise. Our goal is to return to LOVE, to return to the unified field where we are all one, vibrating as LOVE and LIGHT. The spark that lives in our heart and pulses with our breath knows this to be true. 

My Hope for Humanity is that we all find the love within us, that we all shine the lights from our heart as brightly as those students in my school of One Heart One Voice. This love is enough to light the way for humanity to not just exist but to thrive in a world where everyone has enough; where everyone lives a life of passion and joyful pursuits. I believe it is possible. I believe we can get there and that finding a harmonic balance is the grand collaborative goal we came with.  These times we live in are the most challenging because they hold the greatest reward. Our victory in choosing a life of love will resound throughout the universe and correct, clean and balance everything in existence.  

Personally, I will continue to shine my light and share my stories with anyone who asks. My hope is that my light can be a Spark of Healing to light up the next and the next and the next person until we all shine as bright as Orion in the Hawaiian sky. 

Much Love,

Patricia Meier
