A teacher, a true teacher is not one who gives you anything.
A true teacher is one who makes you aware of what you already have and encourages you to use it.
A teacher is not one who tells you anything.
A true teacher listens to you, learns from you and uses what you have to inspire other students.
A true teacher recognizes your brilliance and supports you in learning how to nurture it.
Seeing your dilemmas, a true teacher walks through them with you.
A true teacher will look you dead in the eye, call you out of hiding and celebrate with you in the joy of standing in your truth.
A true teacher will not do it for you.
Instead, they will sit with you as you figure out how to do it for yourself.
A true teacher will not keep score for you.
They will support you in moving beyond the need to know the score.
If you are really lucky, you will happen upon the greatest teacher of all: the student who brings you to the realization that you are your own greatest teacher.

LOVE this fairy reminder, Mel!
It reminded me of a Reiki teacher I had when I first started my journey with Reiki.
She rarely 'told' me a thing, but rather allowed me to discover it on my own.

Yup...that's what she did.
And I feel so blessed about that.
Thank you, dear lady!
Hope you're feeling better.
