Honor in All Places
|
|
|
by Jackie Woods |
|
|
Everyone wants to feel honored by others. Even when the checkout clerk thanks you for buying at her store, you feel just a little bit better than you did when you left the last store where no acknowledgment was made. Reflect for a moment on how you feel when a driver cuts you off. No honor there! No one likes to be dishonored, but to change the face of honor in our society each person will have to be more conscious of bringing honor into the world.
Here is an awareness checklist around honor in your life. See how you do. If you have promised to pay someone but didn't, you dishonored your definition and the relationship space you have with that person. If you went against the good of someone to better your own selfish ends, then you dishonored the whole and dishonored the relationship space you have (or had) with the other person. If you need to rationalize what you did to another, then dishonor was probably present. If you have talked about someone instead of to someone concerning a problem you are having with them, then you have fallen into the ranks of dishonor once again. If you have brought anyone's character into question then you have fallen into the ranks of dishonor once again.
This certainly isn't a complete list but it will help you to look at your life to see if you are being accountable where honor is concerned. Don't be afraid to admit you have failed to bring honor, nor should you be afraid to ask for forgiveness. Do whatever it takes to ensure that all possible relationship spaces get cleared of dishonor. Unless you "'fess up" to everything, then your whole kettle of honor will be contaminated. Your kettle of dishonor will spill over onto others. Pretty soon you are bringing to the world the exact opposite of what you wanted to bring.
It is so easy to feel that what is done in your private spaces is just about you. However, it becomes more and more difficult to convince yourself of that untruth as you grow spiritually. Spiritual growth brings an awareness of others that makes it impossible to convince yourself that you are separate from the whole. As you become a more powerful heart person, everything you think, feel and do impacts the whole in a dynamic way. You no longer stand alone. You simply have to decide if you want your impact to be positive or negative.
To start this new honor program, simply check out relationships that feel tense or have become smaller and see if dishonor was the culprit. If you have any self-justification around any of your past deeds with them, then probably you are in denial and you may have to sit with honor a bit longer to love it more than dishonor. Once honor becomes truly important to you, then it won't be so difficult to own your actions and put them out on the relationship table. Owning dishonor doesn't make you a bad person, but hiding it does.
Bringing honor into full view will make your life brighter and more expansive. Dark spots in your aura created by dishonor don't do much for you, your relationships, groups you are in or the world. The only difference between one who dishonors in small relationships and one who reigns terror on a nation, is the size of the dark spots in their aura. Allowing a "little dishonor" for a great reason doesn't seem too damaging, but it is. Once the act of dishonor has been justified, it becomes easier and easier to accumulate more dark spots. Several small acts of dishonor accumulated over time, are just as serious as one big one committed all at once.
Invite honor into your life and see how easy it becomes to clean "house", so to speak. Just as dishonor spreads, so does honor. As it spreads in your life, it will spill over into others, into your groups, and into the world. Please be willing to do your part.

Jackie Woods
Healer & Spiritual Teacher
|

Jackie Woods' training in the "metaphysical school of psychic instruction" began with her first moments of life. She was born with a psychic gift, which became the vehicle for her training by three Spirit Guides and several Angels.
In her small Midwest hometown, people looked askance at anything that couldn't be seen, touched, or proven. Her mother gave Jackie good advice by cautioning her not to tell anyone what she "heard" or "saw". Jackie's gift grew until she was mature enough for its unveiling as an adult.
After much resistance on her part, the unveiling of Jackie's gift did happen. She finally surrendered to use her ability to see and work with energy. Jackie began her mission of bringing healing to the planet by lifting unhealthy energy patterns from people's auras, and by instructing them on how to find their heart's truth.
Jackie began her career as a healer and spiritual teacher in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1978. As news traveled that this woman could really change a person's life, people began coming to her in droves. By 1985, she had a three year waiting list. Over the years she has touched and changed the lives of thousands through her courses, seminars, and individual sessions.
In 1998, Jackie moved from Atlanta to Columbus, North Carolina, where she founded the Adawehi (Ah-dah-way-hee) Healing Center. This facility is used to support people in healing all four of their bodies (spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical). Alternative forms of natural healing are offered, such as Awareness Courses, Spiritual Growth Counseling, Energy Work, Deep Tissue Massage, Non-force Chiropractic, Color & Sound Therapy, Meditations, Classes, and Interactive Workshops. Jackie's Awareness Courses are also available via the Internet.
In December 2002, construction was completed on the Adawehi Institute. This 8000 square foot facility allows Jackie to take her teachings to larger audiences and to make available a wider range of healers and teachers.
As an author, Jackie has published two books; Journey to Ultimate Spirituality and Spiritual Energy Cycles; an audio tape, Meditation and Needs; a CD, Four Way Mental Communication and Emotional Sharing, and several magazine and Internet articles. She has been interviewed on television and radio, in Internet chat rooms, and by newspapers.
