You are powerful.

Right. How the hell is one to respond to that statement? Today I taught a CPR class filled with personal trainers and a couple of non-trainers. It was an uber fun class with reviews such as "Jane was tons of fun" and "Jane was amazing, no complaints" - I absolutely love teaching CPR/First Aid. Even though it is exactly the same material class after class, the people are all different and their perspectives are unique. I make first aid fun and memorable, with people coming up to me months afterwards and thanking me.

That last sentence might sound like complete and utter bollocks, but it isn't. I don't have a lot of things that I think I am good at, but teaching is one of those things that I can stand confident that I'm not an idiot. I have an ability to make learning fun and make it stick. I'm grateful that I have that gift.

What I was not expecting, however, was a woman who stayed after the class was finished to let me know that the moonstone around my neck began to glow brighter as the day progressed and that it was obvious that I had abilities. She looked me in the eye and told me "You are powerful, I can see it".

I don't quite know what to do with that. I do have a thing that happens in my hands and do have knowledge that pops to mind about people and things that I don't know, know but it has come to me. Last night I asked a guy if he was of Han ancestry. He looked at me incredulously... like I had 2 heads. I don't know, it just popped to mind and so I said it. A couple summers ago I looked at a bracelet a woman was wearing and asked where she got it in Turkey. I had no clue that it came from Turkey, but it popped to mind that it did and it actually did. This kind of thing happens with regularity.

Where does this knowledge about people/events and healing tingling palms come from? I don't know but I respect it.

Powerful? I won't be holding my breath that I am. Whatever it is that is out there is powerful. I'm just a vessel and trying to learn how to be a better recipient of knowledge/ability.
