I am most looking forward to the Retreat and what I may learn at it. But so far, how this Theme works for me is when I, first, open to my feelings, and, second, keep my arrogance at bay. In this I claim no perfection. For example, today I had the feeling to park at one spot, but could not figure out why I should. I went to my favourite parking which was blocked by police and firemen, LOL! So, I failed to follow my feelings in this instance for no other reason than that they did not make sense! :( But on other occasions I was amazed how much more people listen to me simply because I am more open. And if truth be told, I have been quite willing to connect recently! :)

Please enjoy Lady Elizabeth's most poignant sharing!!

With all my love,

My dear friends,

Happy Month! Happy October!

Today is the first day of our annual residential retreat and the change in energy at the hotel here is quite palpable as the participants all check in, day by day.

Our retreat theme this year – and this month - is “gentle strength” and derives from numerology and our belief that numbers have different vibrations. We have entered the vibration of an 11 – 2027 being an 11 year – and 11 being the number of strength.

During the Retreat we will all be well-coming a very special Lady:

“My name is Force, but I wield the gentleness of the spirit in the Light where all may see me.”
(Théun Mares, Book of Numerology, p.139)

Thus, we will look into how to use and enjoy the many opportunities Her presence offers us. How we can relax in our gentle essence and calmly and joyfully “show our light to the world”, as the saying goes.

Well, that’s the plan 😊

I checked into the hotel on Monday night and arrived at the room assigned to me at the end of a long (dark) corridor – number 308. Number 11! And lo and behold I could not unlock the door, no matter how much strength I applied. So there I was, stuck at the end of a very long corridor with no access to my room 🙁 and I was tired and just wanted to settle in.

I called for assistance and even my friend struggled with the lock.

In the morning a techie team arrived, decided there was no problem and simply replaced the key. My friend unusually accepted this solution – he’s normally quite bolshy lol - and suggested he was willing always to be available to escort me to my room. For two weeks? A ridiculous solution Lol!

Now when I was based in Greece my local host told me I was not demanding enough and here in Bulgaria I am too polite aka English lol!

So with the 11 firmly in my sights, I put down my foot, gently lol, and insisted the lock get sorted – and what’s more, I am paying enough for the pleasure to enter that room at will!

Short story – using gentle strength I resolved the issue amicably, and I now have a key that works (well, sort of so far 😊 )

And, then of course there is the message beyond the face value 😊

“………… to BE a warrior is not the result of our cleverness, but is instead the gentle and at first unnoticeable transmutation that leads to transformation and eventual transfiguration into a warrior. No warrior ever REALLY knows how he or she BE-CAME a warrior. The only thing the warrior CAN share with you is his or her JOURNEY upon life, and the great MANY marvels he or she encountered upon that journey.”

Have fun with our theme this month, my friends!

With my love and gentle strength,
Elizabeth
