I am in India. I haven’t been away from Caidin for longer than a school day since he was two years old. As I sat on the plane, sometime around 3AM, I started to feel it. That tugging that you get when you miss someone. I was missing Caidin. It was interesting to note because I tend to not ‘miss’ because I always feel connected to the people I love, no matter where I am or they are. So this was unusual.<\/p>\n
I spent some time looking at it in my mediation space, quite a bit of time actually, since I had eight hours left in my flight. What I found was that I indeed was missing Caidin, but not liking the feeling, or the sense of lack it created, I decided to turn the missing into something else.<\/p>\n
I set my intention to rather than feel that sense of emptiness or longing that indicates ‘missing’ for me, to convert my ‘missing’ to love. I held an image of Caidin and projected love to him. Every time that ‘missing’ feeling creeps back I change it to love.<\/p>\n
I have to think that this is better for Caidin too. We have a strong energetic bond and he can easily pick-up on what I’m feeling. For me, that ‘missing’ feeling has always been something that feels counter-intuitive, it says ‘lack’ rather than love, it says that the other person fills me rather than me filling me. So I was also able to see where Caidin’s effusive, all encompassing love was filling me. I took this opportunity to fill myself in with me, graciously returning Caidin’s energy back to him and instead simply holding all that love I feel for him in my heart.<\/p>\n
I can’t wait to share this information with Caidin. With a Cancer Moon he feels everything so deeply, including separation and loss. I’m hoping that he may be able to also learn how to transmute ‘missing’ into love.<\/p>\n
