After going through yesterday’s exercise, we had a little time left, so Marilyn asked if I wanted to try the exercise she was planning for last night’s advanced class. She told me that she was going to have the students write down a name, and have someone else come up with words for each letter and then give a reading. I initially had my doubts if I could do that, which I figured meant that I needed to.
So, Marilyn wrote down a name on a piece of paper and handed it to me. The name was ‘Myrtle’. The idea was to come up with a word that started with each letter of the name. As I started at the beginning, the first word that came to mind was ‘married’. When I went to the next letter, the only thing that popped in was ‘yesterday’. I had a second’s hesitation with the next letter. I was seeing two different words at the same time. One was ‘relative’ and the other was ‘relationship’. She told me to go with the first one, but I was waiting for them to settle. ‘Relationship’ was the one that stuck. For T, I got ‘timely’. For the L, I got 'love'. And then I got two for the letter E. I got ‘encompassing’, and I got ‘energy’. I ended up putting them both down.
I was surprised how quickly these came. I mean, they just popped right in, one after the other. She told me that I now needed to do a reading from this.
I started with ‘married’, and told her that I felt this person was married quite some time ago, in the 30s or 40s. I told her that I was seeing antique cars of that era in the background. I felt that Marilyn had been thinking about this person ‘yesterday’, which is why that word came up. I felt that there was a good relationship between them, but I was also prompted to think about how they related. It suddenly struck me to ask if this was Marilyn’s mother’s name. She told me it was. Now things started to fall into place. There was great love between them, probably more now than when her mother had been alive. So even though Marilyn’s mother was in spirit, their relationship is stronger than it had been. (John Edward claims the same is true for his relationship with his father.)
Marilyn had felt that her mother had been working overtime from the other side to make sure she got the new drug in the chemotherapy that she had gone through. So she was all ‘encompassing’ to make sure that happened, and she did it by manipulating ‘energy’ from the other side. Also, she had to do this in a ‘timely’ manner to help her daughter.
What was interesting was that Marilyn told me that her parents had been married in 1932. There is a picture of them on their wedding day with cars in the background. Wow.
Since I have been snowballed with things lately, I had been wondering if I could even do any of this type of work. This last exercise had been a needed boost to my confidence. Thank you, Marilyn.
