First Encounter With Hermes Far Eastern Shining (Revised)

Hello All,

I was asked to share this story with you . This was my first encounter with Hermes Far Eastern Shining.

It was a cool October weekend in Madison Wisconson, 1999. I was in town for a parents weekend with my daughter who was attending the University there. I arrived on Friday and spent the evening with my daughter. As she brought me to the bars she frequented I became extremely distressed. If you've ever been in a college bar late on a Friday evening you know why.
I went back to my hotel room that night and wailed in tears on the floor, begging God for help... a sign... some way I could be of service to my daughter. I felt so helpless. Like she was slipping away into a dark abyss unknowingly.
The next day her father arrived with his wife and I got into the back seat of their car to go to brunch, bloodshot tear spent eyes, still totally affected by my experience from the night before.

After a few moments of hello's and small talk she pulled out a folded up crumpled brochure and told me she was at a Whole Life Expo in Chicago the weekend before with her daughter. They found this booth called Hermes Far Eastern Shining where they had a drink of water at which time her daughter remarked that she could feel a tingling on the top of her head. She said she didn't feel anything but she kept thinking about me. So, she grabbed a brochure to give to me. She noted that there was a center there in Madison and if I was interested we could go check it out together.

Now , she really didn't know me that well and after all, I was the "First wife", the mother of her husbands child, she was the new wife with the whole package... and well you know all the stuff we walk around with about each other, especially in these circumstances, that keep us from real intimacy. We were both intimidated a bit by each other and the circumstance.
Still, she turned around and gave me the brochure. She could not have known what would happen next. In that instant I felt a surge of energy go through me and I began to weep uncontrollably. I couldn't really understand what I was reading, (something about Alchymie?) but I felt an explosion in my heart... immediately! I said, we have to go to their center.

So, the next day(it's Sunday now) we sent my daughter and her father to the gym, and we took off to find the place. We pulled up into an industrial park and we found the building.
We waited for a moment for the ladies who were meeting us there to arrive.
We were feeling kind of nervous and we said to each other if this is too weird we'll give the high sign and we're out of here. We gave it a 15 minute time frame to check it out.

They arrived and let us in and as soon as we walked through the door I felt this absolute relief. Like the whole weight of the world stayed outside.Really! I had no idea what this was but I felt happy and excited in this moment.

Next the ladies showed us some of the Products of Hermes Far Eastern Shining.
We sat down with the Stargate Box and we put our names on ,and a prayer that what ever is arising be revealed and released.Then some vials we picked randomly from a box that looked like a box of lights. We put our glasses of water on and then our hands on together, closed our eyes and had a drink of our water that was empowered on the box.

A few minutes later we opened our eyes to see each other crying and smiling at the same time. The room seemed brighter too. We were both astounded by the potency of the moment. We hugged and laughed and cried together, remarking on how easy it felt to let go of all that fear and concern with that simple process. You know, the stuff I mentioned earlier... ex wife, step mother,yada yada.
We looked into each others tear filled eyes deeply and all that was there was love. We really were completely free and in Love and Recognition of the Grace that came to meet us in that moment. All of the usual "stuff" had dissolved.

Three hours later and countless (now becoming frantic) phone calls from her husband , and we were still there, in bliss.We didn't want it to end.
We recognized we were on the same team. We're in this life together. In love. This was more than a concept now. It was really quite a spectacular awakening we shared. It was tangible.

She bought a Pendant and some Discs for personal clearing and I bought some Discs and a Wand and we went back to the hotel. In the car I shared with her my feelings from the night I spent in the bars with my daughter. That whole thing shifted for me too. I was easier about it all. I felt somehow that the moment we shared together that day was a real healing that would extend to my daughter.

My daughter came through that period of growth with love and support .

It's so great that my friend had the courage to share in that moment with me and the energies of Hermes Far Eastern Shining. I am so grateful that she trusted her intuition in sharing this with me more than her fear of my response.

Our friendship continues to surprise others because it is so rich with real intimacy and Love. Our conversations are fueled by our commitment to our own transformation and the Awakening of humanity to the Heart. She is one of my beloved sisters , and I hers. We look after some of the same people in Love, not competition, in recognition of Unity, not our differences. It's an extraordinary relationship, made possible through a submission to Grace on a day my heartfelt prayers were answered.

God is Gracious.
