It Was a Strange Little Journey

Walking this new path,
  Struggling to relish the gifts.
  Struggling with my own resistance
  to release the old, to embrace the new.

And suddenly,
  everything changed.
  I lay on the kitchen floor
  feeling my soul leave my body.

Several heart beats later,
  an ambulance chauffeured me
  to the hospital bed, nurses, doctors,
  tests, sleepless nights, IVs, medicine...

Upon my release, I was
  whisked to a heart surgeon,
  who set in motion the medical
  machine, tests, procedures, more tests...

Caught up in the whirlwind,
  I acquiesced, allowed the tests.
  But, something else was stirring,
  something beyond this physical plane.

It announced, 'I am done with this.'
  Its strength grew even as my body failed.
  It persisted as the fog lifted from my mind.
  It pressed forward, activated the Kundalini.

It suggested that I can heal myself.
  The physical experience was the stage
  upon which it will reveal itself and its gifts.
  I need merely to listen, witness and stop resisting.
