My latest obsession is a book I’m reading, The Energy Codes: The 7-Step System to Awaken Your Spirit, Heal Your Body, and Live Your Best Life by Dr. Sue Morter. I didn’t go looking for this book, it found me. I was surfing Amazon when it came into my awareness (I can’t remember how), and as soon as I clicked through, I knew it was going to be my next read. 

Dr. Sue’s story is incredible—she was in meditation when she went through a profound spiritual awakening, accessing an energy field—a level of consciousness—that was unlike anything she had seen or felt before. From that moment, she continued to have similar otherworldly experiences in meditation and her daily life. As she did, she began to discover ways to harness the body’s energy system to heal herself and dramatically enhance her overall vitality. Since then, she not only has healed her persistent migraines and the scoliosis she’s had since she was born, but she‘s helped thousands of her patients heal as well. 

What’s especially synchronistic is that last year as I went through my own spiritual awakening and self-discovery, some of what Dr. Sue shares also came to me in the form of downloads or intuitive pings. For instance, as soon as I was diagnosed with cancer, I intuitively felt it had to do with my throat chakra being out of alignment and the need to heal the flow of energy there. I also developed a clear understanding of how energy plays an important role in our body’s ability to heal—Dr. Sue’s research confirms this in a way I never could have imagined in my thinking mind, but felt deep in my heart. Reading her book has been so enlightening and affirming—I feel even more aligned with my mission and my message—and I cannot wait to share her research and healing modalities with my clients. I’m adding a new set of tools to my belt.

One of my favorite excerpts from the book is what Dr. Sue calls “The Bus Stop Conversation.” When you’re diagnosed with something like cancer, you wonder—why Me? Over the last year, as I have pondered this question, it’s become crystal clear to me that this is all a part of the divine journey, and that it was not happening to me but for me and through me. If it wasn’t for cancer, you certainly would not be reading this soul-awakening message right now, and I would not be nearly as awakened to my truth, my True Essence. The Bus Stop Conversation is the best example that I’ve found that puts “soul contracts” and why ‘bad’ things happen to good people into perspective. I’ve included it below—enjoy!

The Cosmic Bus Stop

Imagine yourself at a cosmic bus stop, where you and others pause between trips to the physical plane (Earth). As you wait, you get to chatting with the other souls at the bus stop, talking about your plans and agendas for life on Earth. You speak about what you desire to learn, how you wish to grow, and what you’d like to experience as a means of revealing to yourself your own, true divine nature as a being of energy and the creator of your own life.

“I want to learn about my wisdom,” one of the other souls says.

“I am going to learn courage,” declares another.

“I want to experience being unconditionally loving,” says a third.

“What are you going to do?” someone asks you.

“Well,” you might say, “I want to know my ability to forgive. Yes, I am choosing a Level Ten experience of forgiveness. Not just a Level Three or Level Four. I am really going for it this time!”

“A Level Ten forgiveness… wow! Okay how are you going to do that?” another soul asks.

“Well I am not exactly sure. I suppose someone is going to have to do something that is …. nearly unforgivable.”

One of your companions asks the obvious question: “What would that take?”

You reply, “Well someone would have to do something like drink too much at happy hour, get behind the wheel, cross over the center line on the road and hit my car head-on. To take it over the top (requiring the Level 10 forgiveness) they might take the lives of my family, or cripple me. It would have to be something that could have been avoided and was completely irresponsible.”

“Then after years of hurt and anger and suffering even more because of my unforgiveness, I will reach way down inside my heart and find a deeper layer of myself than I would have ever known under any other circumstances—and forgive them.”

You pause for a moment, remembering that the Bus Stop offers an opportunity to enlist others to help you achieve what you want out of your Earth-Life.

“Who wants to be the driver for me?” you ask. No one raises a hand.

“Come on,” you plead. “I’ve waited forever to have this chance to evolve myself. I am asking with all that I have. Will someone please help me catch this opportunity?”

Someone finally chimes in: “I will do it. I can see how much it means to you. Plus it will help me with my own mission of self-forgiveness.”

“Wonderful! Thank you so much! I am so moved you would do that for me. Well, I guess I’ll see you on Earth!” And off your go, ready to take on the biggest task of your being so far.

The Reframe

I invite you to reflect back on your life with this new lens—how have the hardships helped to shape your life? What is the lesson your soul is here to learn? Perhaps you know already or maybe it has yet to be revealed. Either way, what a beautiful new reframe Dr. Sue has provided for us all.
