Chapter Ten: The First Hundred

.
There were more initiations. Many were at a distance, many in person. In person the class numbers usually remained at about seven people. This was a comfortable level of energy to run through my body in the initiations. I held a class in Dallas and one in a small town just outside San Antonio. There was also a class in College Station, Texas. There were several classes in Houston attended by people from other cities who drove in for the class. When Cathy Chapman taught one of her classes in Japan, she told them about EDINA, and there were a number of distance initiates from there. I did the initiations, and Sunny Izumi taught the classes. There were also many distance initiates from a number of states in the USA, and one person who came to Houston from Bolivia to visit family got an initation while she was here. A week later she returned to Bolivia. One initiate, a medical doctor, left the USA to go home to the middle east about a month after his initiation. I believe one initiate from the Dallas group moved back to the Phillippines after her initiation. There were initiates on four continents, at a minimum, that I knew about.

And so by June of 2008, only ten months after the first initiations, the Ankenash' s goal of the First Hundred EDINA Initiates on Earth was achieved. It took my breath away. I knew from studying BodyTalk, listening to John Veltheim talk about the matrix of any organization, that a group of people doing the same thing in the same way creates a field of energy that all of them can draw upon. The larger the group, the stronger that the energy becomes. The fact that some of the initiates were not professional healers did not matter so much; they held the energy for the force field, or morphogenic field, of EDINA to form.

By the time there were about forty initiates something interesting happened. One of the initiates, Rick, who was in international industrial sales (not a professional healer) told me that a friend of his was having back spasms, and so he did EDINA on her back. He connected to the Ankenash as instructed in class, and placed his hands over the muscle in spasm. He did not use any of the fancy techniques; he just placed his hands on her back, nothing more. They became blazingly hot, much to his and the friend's amazement. He referred to this as connecting to EDINA and "doing Reiki." I asked when he had a Reiki Initiation. He replied that he had not, he had only had an EDINA initiation. I was internally flashing with puzzlement like a pinball machine, many different thoughts bouncing around inside me, lights flashing off and on, internal noises sounding. What was going on here that I did not know about? Was EDINA coming in through the hands? His hands reportedly became quite hot and the client's back spasm went away in a few minutes. What could possibly be happening, and what were the implications?

That evening I contacted the Ankenash, and asked them what had happened with Rick and the friend's back spasm. Humorous as they often are, their reply was, "Yes, EDINA comes in through the hands now that there are enough initiates for us to begin to allow this to occur. We brought Reiki to the planet, what did you think was going to happen with EDINA?" They said it in a laughing, lighthearted, offhand kind of way.

I replied, "Well, why didn't you tell me that this was coming?"

"We thought outside confirmation was the best way to tell you," they answered gently.

They were absolutely right. I had scoffed at the idea of achieving one hundred initiates within a year, all initiated by me, so of course I would have rolled my eyes at the idea of EDINA coming in through those initiates' hands like Reiki, only much more intensely. Letting me know about this through Rick was just perfect.

I have always been impressed that the Ankenash have only given me access to as much information as they feel I can handle at the time. Had they come into my healing room the first day and said, "We will work with you a couple of years, disappear, then come back five years later and through you bring a new, high frequency form of energy medicine that will spread all over the planet and help humanity to ascend..." Well, I would have run from the room screaming and permanently gone into hiding under the bed. I am speaking metaphorically, of course, but there is just so much one can handle at a time, and the Ankenash have always known how much it was that I, personally, could handle.

Every time I have asked them why they chose me to bring in this form of healing, they have simply replied, "Why not you?" That rather ends the discussion.
