Inhaltsangabe

We all yearn for inner peace and happiness, but for most of us, negative thoughts and disturbing events seem to make any meaningful, lasting peace unattainable. Written in eight parts, Led by Grace leads us through a process of forgiveness that brings us to serenity. It begins with Sandra Lowe's first meditations in the spring of 2001 and ends with her 925-kilometer pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela in the fall of 2009. In the Beginning is the first book in the collection. Sandra courageously shares her powerful story of growing to know her Self. From her first meditations, she is taken on journeys where she receives lessons and becomes witness to miracles. Sandra deepens our understanding of each meditation with an insightful interpretation and offers a means for bringing each lesson into our lives. As we place ourselves in Sandra's journal entries, we encounter a vulture pecking away at our legs, are taken to a City of Gold, cross bridges that light up, become naked and experience love, find the keys to our Soul, soar with eagles, paint our Self-portrait, bathe in divine waters, and walk with a monk and Jesus. The Led by Grace collection guides us to our Soul-to know It, to be It.

CHAPTER 1

My First Steps


* * *

Spring 2001

I have my first Reiki treatment in early April, and experience my firstvision of colors. During each subsequent treatment, I have these samespontaneous experiences, and soon begin to meditate on my own athome and while hiking. I am introduced to settings, a guide, and themesthat weave themselves throughout my ongoing visions. I become witnessto my first miracles when aspects of my visions materialize in theoutside world.

I see each of the colors of the rainbow alternating acrossthe screen of my vision. Then I am in a bathtub and seeand feel all the colors as they float down and envelopme. When I am bathed in red, I stand up, look in themirror, and see the red of my blood flowing throughmy arteries.

* * *

I am in a monastery made mostly of marble. It is whiteand open-aired, and it has huge colonial pillars bothinside and out. I am in the middle of a large group ofmonks. I dare to open my eyes and look around. Closeby, a female monk looks directly at me and is extremelysad. When I look around the large room, a male monkamong the pillars is wildly waving his arms, smiling, andwelcoming me.

* * *

I am in the monastery again, and one of the monkscomes to me. He is my guide. I cannot see his face, buthe is rather short and wearing white. We walk from themonastery on to the surrounding grounds. The gardensaround the monastery are beautiful, with very low-lyinggroundcover of primarily small white flowers. We walkto an ornately carved stone bench at the edge of a cliff. Itis a breathtaking view with a mountain range across thevalley. Then I am following my guide along the narrowtrail back to the monastery.

"Why is the path only wide enough for one?" I ask.

"You need to be led. You are not ready to go besideme yet," he replies.

Back at the monastery, I hear the monks chanting.I try to relax by focusing on my left eye, and then tellmyself to relax the eye. I then hear my monk, and hestarts to lead me. He tells me to do the same with my leftear, and I am easily able to do it. I have trouble isolatingmy right eye and right ear but finally can feel them. Hetells me when I am starting to focus sufficiently. Wego through isolating my lips, cheeks, tongue, hands,shoulders, elbows, and feet. I suggest I try to isolatemy heart, but I cannot feel it. Then my guide suggestsI hold my heart. I take it out and hold it in my hands asit beats loudly.

"See what a good heart you have," he says.

I cry.

* * *

I am with my monk guide on a long staircase in themiddle of my brain. It is quite noisy—almost like thehold of a ship. My body feels tingly.

"Where are the lesions from my seizure?" I ask.

We go up to the spot and see just a small lesionremaining.

"Where did one of my relatives have his stroke?"

We go over and see a gaping wound.

"Where was the source of another relative'saneurysm?"

We walk down the stairs to the "basement" and seethe leak.

We come back up to where we were. I can see awindow overhead, but the ladder does not reach highenough to get to it.

"How do I get out?" I ask.

"Over time, the gap between the ladder and thewindow closes. You've already walked a few steps," mymonk answers as a warm bright light shines throughthe window.

* * *

I see a beautiful flower, yellow in the center and pinkishred on the outside with long stamens, but I can onlysee it on exhalation. The flower image starts in the centerof my vision, and then moves up and around in aclockwise circle to the bottom.


On my way...
