I really shouldn’t have noticed him. We had just sat down for St. Valentine’s Day dinner at P.J. Chang’s – a Chinese restaurant with social aspirations. We’d managed to get a booth minutes before dozen’s of other couple’s swamped the place, and my attention belonged to my companion.
We’d just gotten settled, and I was trying to decide between Wonton Soup and Almond Chicken, when a hostess led in a thirty-something young man. She sat him at a table for four near the window, directly in front of me, and darted off. He looked a bit like a skinhead – baggy black pants, no trace of hair – but didn’t have the vibe. He felt more like a mid-level housing construction manager who was worried about being laid off.
We placed our orders and continued a wide ranging conversation. He ordered a margarita and waited.
We were picking over the remnants, and he was on his second refill, when his companions arrived – his wife and two daughters. Hugs and kisses all around gave all the indications of a happy family. Then she took the three year old to the bathroom. He picked up and cuddled the two year old, and, still holding his daughter, took another sip from his drink.
The pattern of alcohol abuse leaped into my awareness, and I moved into my heart. Firmly seated there, I reached out, felt his aura, and found it. It was early days yet, when the attempts at self-medication still brought the appearance of relief without disrupting one’s life. Obvious problems might be years, decades away.
From the heart I aligned upward, through the crown center, with the great Angel of Recovery. Calling on that Angel for assistance, I invoked Her light into the heart, and radiated it out to surround the aura of the entire family.
Then I breathed the Light of Recovery – in and out, in and out, in and out.
When that radiant field of healing light was clear and glowing, I drew a line of light from it directly to the Angel of Recovery.
She would be there, waiting, if and when they needed Her.
Namaste,
Glen Knape
