Building Bridges / Construyendo puentes

Eng/Esp


2017 started rough.  When I got my scholarship at B-School, I knew I had to merge all my talents and gifts, but I was not sure how.  If you are big-hearted, sensitive and gifted, it’s hard to make a living by working on different small business which do not relate at all.  There’s a need to be coherent and to be loyal to my higher self. 

When I built my website, which needs to be redesigned, I included the phrase ‘Words & Bridges’.  I was sure I wanted to build bridges and help people build their own ones with a very good use of language (creative writing, translating, editing, teaching, etc.).  Yet, holistic therapies did not seem to match with language services.

It took me about seven months (without counting my previous 52 years on this planet) to realize that the answer and the key had already been written by me: bridges.


El 2017 comenzó como una pesadilla, una maestría en pruebas que el universo se empeñó en perfeccionar para mi evolución y superación de aquello que no había aprobado con  las mejores notas.  Cuando obtuve mi beca en B-School, sabía que tenía que fusionar todos mis dones y talentos, pero no tenía muy claro cómo debía hacerlo.  Cuando se tiene un gran corazón, se es sensible y se viene con ciertos dones, es difícil ganarse la vida trabajando en pequeñas ocupaciones que no se relacionan, generando además una dispersión de energía que produce agobio en mí, y confusión en las otras personas.  Muchos nombres.  Muchos roles.  Un universo con coordenadas difíciles de interpretar.

Cuando diseñé mi página web, que necesita ser re-diseñada, incluí la frase ‘Palabras & Puentes’.  Estaba segura de querer construir puentes y ayudar a las personas a construir los suyos con un buen uso de las palabras (redacción creativa, traducción, enseñanza de idiomas, edición, etc.).  Aún así, las terapias holísticas no parecían tener relación con mis servicios lingüísticos o literarios.

Me llevó alrededor de siete meses (sin contar los 52 años que llevo en este planeta) darme cuenta que la respuesta y la clave ya había sido escrita por mí: puentes.



Simbología del Puente
Según Guénon, literalmente, el Pontifex romano era un “constructor del puente”, es decir, de aquello que media entre dos mundos separados.  San Bernardo dice que el pontífice, como lo indica la etimología de su nombre, es una especie de puente entre Dios y el hombre.  Por esta razón, el arco iris es un símbolo natural del pontificado.
En Israel era la señal de alianza entre el Creador y sus pueblos.  En China, el signo de unión del cielo y de la tierra.  En Grecia, es Iris, el mensaje de las deidades.  En multitud de pueblos es el puente que liga lo sensible y lo suprasensible.  Sin este significado místico, el puente simboliza siempre el traspaso de un estado a otro, el cambio o el anhelo de cambio.  Como decimos, el paso del puente es la transición de un estado a otro, en diversos niveles (épocas de la vida, estados del ser), pero la “otra orilla”, por definición, es la muerte.

Releyendo la simbología del puente, entiendo que el arco iris, la alquimia, la comunicación entre diferentes dimensiones, mundos, personas, ciudades, culturas y entre los diferentes planos de nuestro propio ser, están todos relacionados por la misma magia, por el signo de la evolución y el cambio constante, por la capacidad de transitar las diferentes épocas con la mejor sabiduría.


After Reading again about the symbolism of bridges, I could understand that alchemy, communication between different dimensions, worlds, people, cities, cultures and the different energy centres of our own being; they are all related by the same magic, by the sign of evolution and constant change, by the wisdom to go from one stage to the other without discomfort or pain.

More than physical structure, the image of a bridge mythically symbolizes the pathway to paradise. It is a transition or movement to a better place. The transition over the bridge symbolizes what has been referred to in Mythology 210 as “paradise found” or “the return.” It is the final stage of myths and the ending of the journey.
There are several aspects in the transition to paradise that the bridge embodies. The first is the crossing of the bridge itself, often a test or challenge of worthiness. The nature of the actual bridge may test the soul. Those who are evil or fail the tests fall into darkness or hell while the good move safely to heaven.

People have been asking about my holistic centre, which seems to exist on the ethereal plane.  Today, I’ve seen it too.  I already know the name: Bridges.


Hace un tiempo, las personas preguntan por mi centro holístico, es como si existiera en el plano etérico.  Recién hoy, he podido verlo también.  Ahora ya sé su nombre: Puentes.

Creer para ver.

Help



It’s been a while since darkness started.  There were almost three months of starving in every possible sense and that narrowed my mind to the point I could only see death as the way out.

I knew I was wrong but I was done with praying and meditation and reality was devastating.  So I started to seek for help and guidance and that was a huge step to feel brave enough and trust people I did not even know.

A very kind and wise priest once told me: your lesson is to learn how to receive help and ask for it.  I have always enjoyed helping people in any possible way.   I enjoy giving, sharing and doing things for others.  But 

I always feel ashamed, embarrassed and not worthy if I have to ask for help.  I wish people just knew what I need and helped me without me asking.   Therefore, it is not until I am living in extreme discomfort, when I admit I have to ask for help if I want to find the way out.

It’s still difficult.  I am not homeless and I can eat properly once in a while, I do not have a proper job yet, just some teaching here and there.  I have been able to stay at home because I have accepted help from people I did not want to get help.  Although I would love to be able to make a living on my own, I’ve managed not to feel ashamed for receiving help.

Meanwhile, I’ve been working with some audios and mediation with light sounds and voices which have really helped to open all the shutters and doors which were blocking all the borders surrounding me.  Even if I may feel weak or rather negative when I cannot eat properly, I’ve started to feel stronger from inside, I feel brave, shiny, and capable of coping with everything, and I feel gifted and blessed.

I also realized that most doors were being closed because I did not want to work with my talents any more, I was not willing to share my gifts with the world outside.  I wanted a quick way out, just a normal job which could provide food, rent and meet my basic needs.  When I started working with my gifts and talents again (teaching and healing), some doors started to open. 

I have no idea what is going to happen now, I have no idea how I am going to survive but I feel thankful for all that I am learning.  I feel a lot older than last year, I mean I feel wiser but I do not want to sound boastful.

The Universe is there full of prosperity although it is not always granted as we would like it to be.  Sometimes, we have to accept what it is given to us until we are able to get it on our own.

I feel blessed and thankful for all the people I have met on the web, because they have guided me, they have sent light and good vibes and because they have prayed for me.  I feel honoured, because I was not able to pay for guidance, coaching or counselling, but there were generous and kind people willing to give some help. 

No matter if you prayed for me, you did some healing, you sent me a link to a helpful site, you wrote about some useful tool or if you wished me good, whatever you did was a blessed gift to me.

Thank you all.

NB: I am still working with Judi Satori’s audios and they are amazing.  I recommend the 9-day work with Lyra Council which I used for Easter time (I always pray and meditate a lot during Easter).  I’ve started with chakra dance today and this is the right tool for me too.  I really enjoy dancing while opening my heart and unveiling the hidden and sleeping parts in me.
