Living with a Bodhisattva

Being told that your then two year old son is a living Bodhisattva can set one up for a life time of teachings to ssay the least.

In 2004 shortly after Jake was diagnosed as Autistic, I had a dream, that has reoccured several times over the years . In front of me is Jake as a young man in a saffron robe. I notice there is fire all around us and he has a noose around his neck. His eyes are so soft and loving t I start to cry. I beg him to not go and to please not leave me. I hug him. I can smell him. He smells like sweet flowers. I step back and say, please. He replied telepathically, I must, for it is the only way to return and continue [the word sounded like bochetta]. I couldn't make out the word clearly, but learned later it was bodhichitta.

With that he takes one step back off a cliff and disappears.

Every time, I wake up sobbing. Even as I write this, I sob.

Shortly after having this dream for the first time, I was guided to seek refuge after a Buddhist Lama told me that indeed Jake was a living Bodhisattva,a Buddha of love. The ceremony of refuge is the taking of vows to practice Buddhism and live the Dharma.

This all made so much sense of what our experience with Jake had been up to that point. Finding him sitting up in his bed in lotus in middle of the night, eyes closed, face peaceful. His display of deep empathy when he was less than 18 months old was a moment I will never forget. I remember thinking,how is that possible.

It is very possible when you live with a Bodhisattva.

Some fourteen years later, I chuckle when I hear people explain what it is to be an empath, or better yet what it is not.

I have witnessed my son, the Buddha of love transmute people with his Divinity. It's not always beautiful and flowy either. Trust me, I was his very first student before he even took a human breath and I continue to this day, being his most devoted student.

This world is anything but graceful or an easy existence. Especially for someone who remains compassionate even in a state of suffering.

So please, know that there are those who are here for the benefit of all sentient beings. To assist in the enlightenment of us all and will return until this is completed.

Know that your definition of what it is to be an empath is not the only path an empath may be on.

Remain open and receive, you never know when you will be graced with the presence of

Divinity's empath.

TESTIMONIALS

Alyssa Hackett -

 

I had my reading yesterday with Therese. It was so spot on and accurate with where I am at in life and where I'm heading. It was really informative and helpful to me at this point in my life. Thank you Therese!!

Adelle Carter --

 

I had a stone medicine reading via Skype. Therese guided us both into a meditative state, and once our connection was made, I chose stones through her. At that point in time in my life when I received her reading, I was feeling stuck and anxious about my future. Her reading resonated deeply. Therese's knowledge of each stone's story and her wisdom to intuitively connect this medicine to my situation was amazing. With her guidance, I was left feeling enlightened and empowered. She even sent me a picture of the spread so I could keep it and refer back to it when needed. I highly recommend a Stone Medicine reading to anyone seeking inner soul direction.

 I have had the pleasure of connecting with T and learning that we are soul family and on this journey we call life together in more ways then I can yet fully understand, and also the honor and privelege of experiencing a lot of her deep wisdom and broad array of intuitive gifts for the last 7 years. 
I am very selective of who I ask for help and guidance, probably too selective, and T is one of the very few I go to when I really need help and insight that I am blocking myself from seeing/feeling/admitting. Her heartfelt honesty and abillity to tap in and feel out the higher truth of the current reality, is quite amazing, and she has many times left me in awe and with new insight, inspiration and gratitude. 
I remember when she made these stones she uses for this particular readings, and I also had the honor of getting one of the first ones, which was something completely new too me, very fresh and exciting, but more then anything accurate and revealing, and just what I needed. 
I could say a lot about this woman and her work, but the very best and my suggestion would be to try it and experience one of these readings yourself. If you feel called to do so, then that is probably exactly what you are meant to do.

Gilda Burke -

I went to see Therese after she was recommended by an acquaintance. She was everything my friend said and more. Therese is lovely and was so on point with all the things she told me. She's the real deal! Don't hesitate to book an appointment. I'll certainly be back.

Shay Roda - 

Therese has helped me tremendously in my personal healing journey.

She assisted me in getting in touch with relatives who have passed on and provided an extremely accurate and honest experience. I have been able to release a lot of guilt and negative emotions that were holding me back. I highly recommend her services.

Shari Heter – 

 

I recently had a reading and have been using it as a guideline for everything I've done since then. When I had the reading, I was in a very dark and stressful place. It was making me very physically ill. Using this reading as my basis for perspective on why I was in this place I have actually been able to make all the changes I needed to get myself out of it. I don't know if I would have done it so soon if I hadn't met with Tess. I can't even tell you how helpful this has been. I've seen Therese throughout the years for everything from medium sessions to just spiritual guidance and gaining insight into myself. She has truly helped me through some of the hardest things I've had to deal with.

M.L.W.

T,

You have been the catalyst to my awakening and I am beyond grateful. These things we can learn can be painful, but it's necessary for continued growth and understanding. In the end it is for our greater good, it makes us stronger and more secure in knowing who we are as a whole.

I truly appreciate you T,I am so thankful the Universe put you in my path. 

Blessings to you.
