Posted by Bob The Gift It may be that the act of giving The Gift can make changes at a far wider level too; as more and more minds become involved in this wonderful process, we might well have the opportunity to permanently influence matters on a profound plane of reality. Having worked professionally with Energy Therapies for many years, I am very aware that we receive far more information and insight about the nature of reality around us than we could consciously ever understand, or evaluate, or even respond to. Much of this information is invisible but you can still feel it and it certainly has the power to make you happy and bright, or to bring you down; it is this information or knowledge that makes the hair on your neck rise on entering specific buildings; that gives you a strange feeling in the pit of your stomach before the telephone has even rang, and that accounts for gut level responses to people, situations, proposals and ideas. When you are engaged with another in any kind of healing relationship, and this could be both as a professional therapist or just listening to a friend who is in trouble and you are trying to help them somehow, both you and I have the power to help in a most profound way if only we knew how to transfer our invisible and unspoken understandings into action in some way. The Gift is the bridge over which your deep and unspoken understanding and your knowing about how to help can travel to the other person. It is easy to give, any human alive can do this children are especially good at it - and you will know that a change has occurred when you have given The Gift. What exactly happens when you give The Gift is a mystery. It has been suggested that you could be making a healing adjustment to the others energy system, or maybe that you adjust the flow of the meridians through their bodies, or perhaps align a chakra or two in just the right way. Im not sure what happens, only that something happens, that it feels wonderful and right, and that it creates positive change both for the giver and for the receiver. I invite you to try it for yourself. Its a simple thing yet endlessly applicable in its very simplicity and profoundly useful and helpful in many situations. Silvia Hartmann July 2000 How To Give The Gift The name metaphor means a container and in the case of The Gift, our metaphor will contain whatever the person needs from us at this precise moment in time and space. It could be an understanding, a special vibration of love, something that might remove a certain negative energy, something that could unblock something, or provide nourishment in some way, support, an embrace, a space of silence or perhaps sanctuary or sustenance. We do not need to consciously understand what it is that we are giving; and I am saying consciously understand because when you have given The Gift, you will have a different kind of understanding you will know that it was the right thing to give, because it feels right. You might not be able to explain in words how it was the right thing but then, metaphor and intuition are from the unspeakable realms, where what exists is beyond words, and thats just fine. So, for a moment, consider a person to whom you might like to give The Gift. Allow yourself to consider them in all ways, and beyond the face they may be wearing, beyond their social status and clothes, beyond their problems and successes, beyond any love or jealousy you might have for them. Consider them and then ask yourself this question: At this time, at this moment, I ask what gift I can give to this person. Relax and let an idea or image bubble up in your mind. This image, sound, feeling or idea is the container that will carry your unique gift to the other. Here are some examples of gifts that appeared when the question was asked: · a small blue and red bird Most people more than readily can think of something. Should your mind go blank, you can either leave the request to keep working on it and send it to you as a flash of insight at any time within the next few days; or you may consider which colour might be good for this person, and then just imagine a gift box with a matching ribbon on top in that colour and trust that your perfect gift will be inside that box. Now, imagine the person and imagine offering the gift to them. This part of the pattern creates the transfer from you to them and represents your intention to be of help. That is all you have to do. From then on, whatever happens next, will happen under its own processes as the interaction unfolds and the changes are made. Some things you might notice or come across when you give The Gift are as follows: Sometimes when you think of the person, they appear very different to what they normally look like they may appear older, younger, may be dressed differently than in real life, or may be expressing emotions through their body postures that you are not normally aware of. This is perfectly normal and it is a sign that you are seeing who they really are. Often, you might experience strong emotions yourself when The Gift has come to your mind. Again, this is in a way the correct reaction to this process and it tells you that it is working. Emotions and energetic states are inextricably linked in a single system.

The beautiful healing pattern that can truly change the world.
By Silvia Hartmann
Welcome to The Gift a simple pattern that is both ancient as well as modern, with a thousand and one uses, that can make the world a different place for you, for the people you love, for the people you dont love, and for those who you havent even met yet.
Very simply, we are going to ask for a metaphorical representation of our unique contribution to the person to whom we are going to give The Gift.
. a small tree in a flower pot
. a pair of wings
. a huge field of green grass
. a luminous white dove
. a warm blue cloak to wrap around your shoulders
. the sound of ocean
Now, take your time to consider the person and find a gift for them. Dont argue with your choice and accept whatever springs to mind; your conscious mind doesnt know enough to know what would be the perfect gift but your unconscious mind does, and that is the place from where the metaphor arises.
Please send us your experiences with the Gift and note that this pattern is copyright waved for distribution in any way you like, although we would appreciate it if you kept the sig line intact.
