My Story of Awakening ~ By Barbara Konish

I was asked to write a chapter on “How I Woke Up,” for an Anthology Called ” Waking Up is Not Hard to Do” written by Light Workers around the country.

Here is the beginning of my story:

I was an executive director of sales, manager and beauty consultant, for an international cosmetics corporation. Loving my work and doing well. While on a Company reward trip to Maui in 1987 I woke up.

The tourist guides said “do not miss the sunrise at the Haleakala Volcano.” For whatever reasons, I felt it to be a “‘must do”‘ for me. At that time, I was not one to entertain winding roads. Following the prompt, I rented a car, left the resort , and drove the spiraling narrow mountain path, in the dark of night, to the top of the volcano.

At the summit, wrapped in hotel sheets for warmth, I held lava rocks and readied myself for the big event. I waited, and watched as my observations shifted from waiting to becoming one with the beginning glow of light. I could feel my entire being open up to receive this gift. I realized a treasure was offered at that moment. This faithful morning happening, changed my perception of all things great and small.

This was more than any sunrise I had experienced prior. It was alive, magical and reaching to me. This moment, I experienced the birthing of grandfather sun from the mother ocean miles below me. A burst of red hot, yet peaceful, energy filled my entire being with it’s vibration. New life and promise gave me pause to pay full attention. As I stood in wonderment of the sun rising to greet me, A voice spoke, “Barbara It is time to work on the inside beauty, no longer the outside beauty”. Standing then on the edge of the volcano, feeling the power of the ages and the limitless knowing of potential, I knew I could fly! I also knew that if I doubted the greatness of all that is..I would fall.

This poem was then given me to remember this message :

It was the moment of awakening.

Having seized the moment..my life forever evolved. And so the journey continues, for that was just the beginning.

Namaste,

Barbara
