Hi Soul friends
Its Tannaz Hosseinpour and welcome back to another short solo episode of the minutes on growth. a lot has been happening in my life so I haven’t had time to create as much content as I would like for you, but this past weekend, something happened which I just simply couldn’t not share with you
last week, a close friend of mine shared with me her sister’s diagnosis of severe autism and the challenges her and her family had faced trying to her support her. We discussed potential therapy modalities and support systems that they could seek, and we both prayed for a miracle! The next day, on Friday night, was Rosh Hashanah. For those of you who don’t know I have been studying Kabbalah for the past nine years (BTW Kabbalah is a spiritual modality) and I truly believe that the tools and insights that I have learned from my Kaballah teachers over the past decade, have helped me become the person I am today, have helped me regulate my nervous system, strengthen my connection with the light, cultivate trust in the universe, tap into my potential, and better serve my community. I shared with my friend that there was a Rosh Hashanah celebration taking place at the Kabbalah Centre and I asked her if she wanted to join me. She told me that she had never experienced such an event before, but she was open to joining me. When we were at the centre, in the midst of one of our prayers, she looked at me and asked, have you ever made a wish while you were at the centre and it came true? I paused for a second and reflected back on my decade long journey and said, pretty much! She then followed up on her question and said that they happen right away? I said they happen when they’re meant to happen. Answers come to us when we’re ready to receive them. Miracles come to us when we’re ready to see them. The course of miracles defines miracles as a shift in perception, so we’re not really praying for a miracle, we’re praying for a shift in perception to see the miracle that already exists. I want to repeat the sentence because this insight really helped elevate my experience of reality. We do not pray for miracles, we pray for a shift and perception to see the miracle that already exists. Why is this? Because the universe wants the best for you at every given moment and it presents the best for you at every given moment. We however as human beings have the free will to see and noticed that, or to shift our perception and see the world through the lens of blame and victimhood.
anyways, after I told her that I have been able to witness multiple miracles through the tools that I have learned at the Kabbalah Center, we continued on with the group prayers that we were all partaking in and the conversation ended there.
An hour later, our group got divided into two, and the women went into a separate room. There was a 3 seater sofa there, and my friend and I quickly went and took a seat. There was an empty seat next to me and so the teacher asked out loud who wants to sit next to Tannaz and this random woman who I have never met before came and sat next to us. I asked her what her name was and since it had Persian origins I looked at her and I said oh wow are you Persian too and she told me that she was from Turkey but her name was Persian, and we got talking. After a few minutes, the teacher asked us all to be silent because she wanted to share a story with us. I really want to share that story with you too, because it was a great reminder to dream big dreams, and that’s my wish for you, to allow yourself to dream big dreams.
So her story was that once upon a time there was a couple who loved each other very much. However the wife started to have this vivid dream where she would give birth and immediately die. She went to a kabalistic sage and told him about her dream and the sage responded that the dream was accurate and that it was dangerous for her to get pregnant, so she stopped being intimate with her husband. After a while the husband asked her why she stopped being intimate with him and she shared her dream with him. They really loved each other so they didn’t want to do anything that would cause pain to each other and so they decided to not have a family. After many years, the woman really wanted to experience parenthood with her husband whom she loved a lot. They decide to get pregnant and birth, while she’s in pain and inlabor, she prays to God, the universe, to allow her to just be with her newborn for a few months after birth. To their surprise, she gave birth, and she didn’t die. At this point they believe that the dream was no longer valid, however unfortunately, after a couple of months she passed away. Her husband went to the Kabbalistic Sage and said I don’t understand, she gave birth and she was alive so why did this happen? And the sage responded that when his wife was praying to God, to that universal power and she was expressing her desire, she only asked for a couple of months, she could’ve asked for 10 years or 20 years or 30 years, but her literal desire was a couple of months. The moral of the story is to not place limits on our desires. The only limits that exist are the limits that are stored in our subconscious mind, that we have been conditioned to believe. There is an abundance of abundance. The universe, is abundant in everything, so this was a wonderful, powerful, reminder to not limit ourselves and to allow ourselves to ask for and seek big desires, desires that transform and expand us to New Horizons. As our teacher was reminding us to dream big, I looked at my friend and I said this is the perfect time to pray for a miracle for your sister. A couple of seconds later our teacher asked us to turn around and share our dreams with the people sitting next to us.
my friend and I had already spoken about our desire so we were familiar with each other’s desires but we turned around to the woman sitting next to me and she asked me if she could share her desire with me. She shared that she got pregnant late in her life and her child was born with a very rare developmental disorder. The moment she said these words, I had a feeling that she was about to say severe autism. Just remembering this conversation gives me goosebumps because she turned around and said those exact words. What are the odds. For these two people to be sitting on my right and left, to have the exact same pain, and for both of them to have the same desire which is Health and Support for their loved ones. In that moment, I was speechless. I couldn’t believe that the universe brought these two people together in the most random setting, to show them that they’re not alone, to show them that despite the statistics, and the disorder being labelled as super rare, that they’re not alone. The more they talked to each other, the more they realized how similar both their loved ones’s diagnosis’s were, and in that moment God spoke to my friend through that woman, she shared that there was a therapy modality that she had been trying out for the past eight months that had really helped her out. We had never heard of it before so we immediately started to Google to see if there were therapists in my friend’s hometown that were trained in this modality, and the wildest part was that the first link that came up was for a centre in her city named after her sister’s name – the centre’s name had my friend’s sister’s name in their name. How wild is that!
Can you believe that? An hour ago, she was curious to see if her prayers and desires could be answered in the setting, and here we are an hour later, getting those prayers answered through a strangers mouth. The woman ended up being seated at our table too, which is wild to me, because the seating chart was finalized a week prior, so somehow the person in charge felt the energetic urge to seat us all together.
this is what I mean when I say there are no coincidences. Everything is divinely orchestrated for us for our highest Good, we just need to be willing to see it. We need to be activating the trait of curiosity within us that allows us to change the way we look at things, and to have hope and faith in the universe, to believe that there is a solution to every problem, that there is support available to us, even when and if it logically doesn’t make sense.
my friend and I were both so honoured by this whole experience, and she kept telling me that this is one of the most memorable weekends of her life. BTW She wasn’t meant to be here with me this weekend, but somehow, her initial plans had changed and her trip got postponed to this exact weekend.
so this is a wonderful reminder to all of us to be flexible when things don’t go our way, because that’s the universe’s way of rerouting us to something better.
and I hope soul friends, this short podcast episode, has reminded you to trust the universe, to be open to new experiences, to be curious, and to dream big dreams, and to allow yourself to connect to those around you.
you are born worthy and deserving, and there’s nothing you need to do to earn that worth so you’re able to manifest that desire. no – That worth is already there, all you need to do is open yourself up to what the world has to offer.
Thank you all so much for listening,
