      Finding Lily - Elizabeth Goddard

      The Hopi Creation Story

      The Creator gathered all of Creation and said, I want to hide something from humans until they are ready for it. It’s the realisation that they create their own reality.

      The Eagle said, Give it to me. I will take it to the moon.

      The Creator said, No. One day they will go there and find it.

      The Salmon said, I will bury it on the bottom of the ocean.

      The Creator said, No. One day they will go there too.

      The Buffalo said, I will bury it on the Great Plains.

      The Creator said, They will cut into the skin of the Earth and find it even there.

      Grandmother Mole who lives in the breast of Mother Earth, and who has no physical eyes but sees with spiritual eyes said,

      Put it inside of them.

      And the Creator said, It is done.

      Forward

      This is my story, told, as I remember it. I have written it as fiction, but it is based on actual events.

      I had no idea this was going to be written, the memories popped up, as the story emerged it seemed to become about forgiveness and reclaiming myself, finding my diamond.

      I now specialise in Emotional Abuse, helping people recover from trauma.

      I had an abortion at the age of 26 and by reading the story you will understand why I couldn’t ask for the help I needed to mentally cope with that decision or what I went through at the time.

      This is for anyone who needs to forgive themselves. And it is about allowing yourself to let go.

      At the end, I have added two healing practices for you, if that is what you need.

      I had no intention of writing this book, it just fell out of me!

      In April 2016 went on the Core Issue therapy - Soul Transformation course in Hastings with Blue Marsden. I had already trained at the Holistic Healing College in 2010 as a Soul Plan Practitioner, Spiritual Life Coach and Theta Healer.

      I found it actually linked in with a therapy I had learned in 2002 called Past Life Energetics and one of the techniques I have been incorporating into my sessions.

      And I discovered I was able to use Core Issue Therapy for myself, something I wasn’t able to do with the Past Life Energetics.

      As we are here to fix ourselves, it has been perfect.

      In May 2016, I did a Soul Retrieval, and this book has stemmed from that healing session.

      I believe when we experience any form of trauma, parts of ourselves can break away to protect us and stay whole and undamaged. But, what can happen is they never re-integrate with us.

      What I learned from that session, I am now using to create a new healing modality, so out of the pain something beautiful is being created.

      I have never hidden from anyone that I am constantly trying to clear and heal, I believe we all have something to deal with and this is our journey. I also believe this is the time for us to deal with the trauma and issues that have come through our DNA.

      I have been on a personal journey, trying to find out the best way to deal with this. This is the time to let go of any little speck still in me relating to that time, holding me back.

      I was working with a coach for my business and she gave me an affirmation in the December 2015 Linked to Monkey Flower Essence:

      I welcome awareness of my attitudes. Easily and simply I now release into unconditional love my conditioned tendency towards: feeling ashamed of my needs, deep vulnerability about what I see as my own inadequacies,
