Carol's Write - Up for the VortexHealing® Gifts of the Goddess Session #4 - Lakshmi Abundance
I hope everyone has been enjoying the warmth of autumn unfolding. The Goddess has been gifting us with many sunny glorious days. I always feel the presence of nature strongly in the fall. All the golden color and richness reminds me of the next Goddess in our series, the Goddess of abundance, Lakshmi.
The next session in our Gifts of the Goddess Series will be focusing on Lakshmi, the Goddess of Abundance and Wellbeing. This session will be happening on Thursday, October 24, 2019. There will be a half hour conference call starting at 7:15 p.m. Eastern time, followed by the hour long distant Group Healing starting at 7:45 p.m.
Geordie and I offered a previous series on the Four Arms of Lakshmi. Below is the write up I did introducing the series and Lakshmi.
The Goddess Lakshmi is an aspect of Divinity in the Hindu Pantheon. She is mainly considered the Goddess of abundance and this abundance is expressed through wealth and prosperity as well as health, beauty, and grace. She is depicted wearing a red or pink sari, sitting on a lotus floating in a lake with elephants nearby spouting streams of water.
Lakshmi loves things that delight with splendor charm and innate value. She is the bridge between the spiritual realm and the material. She infuses the material aspects of our life with spiritual sustenance and value.
In an on-line article called “The 4 Arms of Lakshmi” by Rebecca Barry she says:
“Lakshmi loves beauty, grace, lovely things and bright colors. She is happy to dole out money for delicious food, sumptuous textiles, flowers, entertainment, and whatever supports one’s family and life’s work. What she asks for in return is that we treat the earth and all of her splendors with tenderness and respect, that we notice and delight in the wonder around us, the people we love, and that we listen to and follow the longings of our souls.”
The Goddess Lakshmi is depicted with four arms. These arms represent four aspects of living which we should strive to keep in balance. When these arms are in balance we live a life of well-being and prosperity. The arms are Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha.
The Four Arms of Lakshmi
The lower front two arms of Lakshmi represent our existence in the material world. From the lower left hand comes a never-ending stream of gold coins, the symbol for Artha, money and financial support.
The lower right hand represents Kama our passions, enjoyments, our heart’s desires and the delight in the experience of the senses. This hand is often in the position of the abhaya mudra, the hand position indicating no fear. She is giving us the message to go forth without fear and trust our heart’s yearnings.
The upper two hands represent the spiritual aspects of life. The upper left hand stands for Dharma or “right-living.” This hand often is shown holding a half opened lotus flower.
The upper right hand represents Moksha which is about our alignment with our Divine Self. It is about liberation, enlightenment, spiritual awakening, however you understand this outcome of the spiritual path. This hand holds a lotus that is in full bloom. It is fully expanded by spiritual grace and our self-actualization.
Great Lakshmi story!
When we decided to do this series I started to think about how to write about it. I like to illustrate things with stories but I did not have a story about Lakshmi ready in my mind. While I was pondering this, I got into a conversation with a dear friend who lately has been unfolding to the effects of Lakshmi in her life. Without her knowing that I was looking for a story of Lakshmi’s workings in our life, she told me a perfect story.
My friend said she was leaving a local farmer’s market one weekend when she saw a woman near her car. She noticed that this woman was wearing a beautiful necklace with a blue labradorite stone in the shape of a triangle set in a very artistic design. She commented on the necklace and the woman replied, “I think I’m supposed to tell you this story. I saw this necklace on a website and I loved it. It came in two versions, one in silver and one in gold. I loved the one in gold and I really wanted it but it cost hundreds of dollars and I couldn’t spend that amount of money so I ordered it in silver. When it came, I showed it to my mother who admired it. I said it was not really the one I wanted, I really wanted the golden one but I would wear this one. A little while later this woman received a parcel in the mail. It was the golden version of the necklace. She was totally amazed because she had not ordered it! She showed it to her mother and asked what she should do about it. Her mother told her to regard it as a gift from the Universe.”
I was amazed and delighted when my friend told me this story. (She gave me permission to use it here.) I was happy for the woman who got the incredible necklace, (in one of my favorite healing stones by the way!) I was glad for my friend who heard this story as a sign that Lakshmi was opening up in her life. I was completely delighted and blown away by the gift of this story just when I needed it! Lakshmi touched three people (and now more as you read this) with one amazing necklace. With Lakshmi, abundance overflows.
About the Session
In this session Geordie Numata and Carol Ribner will be using Merlin’s Grace Level Vortex Healing® Divine Energy Healing. We will be using Geordie’s Angelic Liquid Light Healing (not an aspect of Vortex Healing) and we will use a Divine Consciousness tool that comes through for Carol (also not an aspect of Vortex Healing.) We will be channeling to release conditioning that blocks the flow of abundance and well-being in general. We will ask for a template or blueprint download for the highest expression of abundance in our lives. We will be invoking the assistance the Goddess Lakshmi and of the archangels and other groups of angels and asking for their blessings for abundance and well-being.
What to Expect from a Session
The energetic and consciousness healing modalities we are using have their own wisdom and they affect each participant in a unique and individual way. The energies always work for the highest benefit of each person. Participants often report feeling relaxed, nurtured and / or energized. Some people drift off into a pleasant altered state and don’t remember much. If this happens the healing energies are still working with you. Other people have physical sensations or inner experiences such as inner visualizations or feelings of energy flow. Sometimes people experience memories regarding a certain issue or insights to do with it. The energy of the session may continue to work after the session for several days or even weeks. The way an issue is manifesting in your life may shift, clear or change so it is good to be open and notice anything coming up or settling down.

Information for Participants
The ideal situation is to be in a quiet meditative state in a place where you will not be disturbed. You may focus on the theme of the session or you may focus on an issue that is important to you. The active channeling lasts about an hour but the effects may linger on longer than that. Please do not do anything that requires alertness such as driving a car during or right after the session.
The Goddess Lakshmi is one of the most popular goddesses in the Hindu tradition. She has an abundance of blessings to give. Please join us this coming Thursday night to be in the shower of Lakshmi's gifts!
Many Blessings,
