My Spiritual Journey to Ghana
My Spiritual Trip to Ghana (Tamale)
by Cathy Bilsky
Part Three
I forgot to mention that before I left for Ghana part of my prayers included that my trip was not filled with lots of drama. I also wanted to find people that resonated with me and wanted to hear what I had to teach. And with hindsight I guess I should have asked for no drama after I got back home ….., big ooops. Next time I will.
Before I go forward to Tamale I will go back to Accra one more time. One of the people watching my store was a man I was very fond of and always kept him in the friend zone. He called me an enduring term via computer communication…darling…I panicked! I asked him to watch his words or I would take him seriously, also telling him I thought we were great friends and needed to keep it there.
Remember this Leo wasn’t looking for romance from abroad or home. The end result was he didn’t like what I said and decided to not go near my store while I was gone so my store stayed closed for most of the month of Feb. The money that was made was not put into the bank and my landlord was looking to replace me for my rent check bounced…..twice. Ahh yes big big drama. I have only been renting from him for 4 years and to see his response was an overload for me for that was the last thing I thought I would have to deal with. I am still working on calming this down.
I was not supposed to focus on the material this trip. Before I left I put it all in the hands of the Divine to take care of. I keep forgetting that it is not easy to be around my earth keeper crystals. So to have people react in a strange way after being around my big crystals is nothing new to me and such a disappointment when they can’t maintain some kind of positive balance.
If I would have known I still could not have done much from Ghana. I had the illusion that all was kind of well. I kept my focus on the Divine and the job before me knowing that what ever happened that spirit would take care of me and my needs.
Let’s jump to Tamale. Because I waited to see where the doors would open it was very magical and the group the Divine placed me with was a very high energy group. The man that picked me up at the bus station was Christian, where I was sleeping the woman was catholic and the man that took me everywhere and opened up many doors for me to do my work was Muslim. Very well rounded spiritual group. That is what you will find in Ghana..Religious tolerance. What a concept. Every one lived in harmony and no one really cared what your religion was. I was pretty amazed for here I just read Saibaba’s Gita and I find all these people living it. They never read it and they are living examples of what the book wants you to be and do. Truth is truth. They were living and practicing the best of their religion. Doing service, being kind, compassionate, giving, having tolerance, volunteering and just down rite nice people. I did not fear for my life or safety all the time I was in Ghana. And being a white woman traveling by herself this says a lot of the Ghanaians character.
I was given a wonderful guide that opened the doors by explaining to everyone what I could do in a way so people let me take them out of pain. I didn’t care where we went each day and let him guide me and take me around where he wanted me to go. It didn’t matter to me for everyone could use my skills. Because I had a Muslim guide I worked on a lot of Muslims. I heard from a few people that Muslims were more open then Christians with alternative healing. Tamale was more Muslim than Christian. I did work on Christians too with the tilt more to Muslims. As I said it didn’t matter who I worked on as long as they were open. I was really taken care of.
My first healing test was when I was given the opportunity to take an old African healer out of pain for he said someone cursed him and he was not able to do his job. Easy. He was so very happy when I was done that he wanted to give me a Guinea hen as a donation.(a live bird). I was relieved when none could be found and he gave me 4 yams instead.
I was asked many times what religion I belonged to. My answer was always the same. I belong to no religion except the religion of love. I honor all religions. When I am in need I go directly to God and carry my church in my heart. I don’t care what religion anyone was I served all in need. That is my truth. I didn’t go there to try and convert anyone and unless someone asked me about Sai Baba or Prem baba I did not talk about them. Of course when they did ask I was delighted to share my stories and personal experiences with them. Otherwise I was very quite.
As I worked on people I noticed that they all had basically the same challenges, kidney problems, lungs, head aches from their cell phones or their chest hurt from carrying very heavy loads on their heads. When I do my work I like to guide people to solutions so they can heal quicker. Like herbs and natural remedies that can be gotten real easy. My challenge in Tamale was they did not carry things that I would recommend here in the US. If you have a kidney problem, eating cooked asparagus and drinking cranberry juice for three days can help clean the kidneys out. These could not be found in Accra. I did a lot of praying on this asking for guidance on what to do.
One morning I walked outside of my room and I saw some young people putting all kinds of jars out on the wall cleaning them and taking inventory. I was so delighted when I picked them up and saw that the were all herbal remedies for all kinds of health challenges. Just what I was looking for to guide people to use. I just love in when the Divine sticks it right in front of your face. My problem was solved and now I had a place to guide people to. Spoil me God. My question was now how good were the herbs? I felt very encouraged when my hostess said that when she got sick with Malaria that she took the herbs for malaria and it healed her in 2 days. That was very impressive.
It was about this time that I had my first health challenge. My feet were getting very hot. It would come and go and was not comfortable. I put my ego aside and put this challenge out to all my friends and asked them for their opinion. Really folks there is no book I can read for guidance when you are on the learn by doing program and you are the first. I was very happy with the responses. Well most of them were helpful I tossed out the one from a bad psychic who said I needed to get a check up because of my age. Bong…bong …bong…wrong answer and not helpful at all. Some of the other suggestions were I could have parasites, kidney and liver problems, an entity hanging around my legs and I need to ground better. Those are all suggestions I could work with. So I went to the herbal nurse and said what do you have for parasites, kidney and liver I want them all…Remember I am a Leo and if a little is good then a lot must be great. I started to soak my feet to pull out toxins I may have. I started on the kidney and parasite cleanse. Gee now I would get first hand experience on how the herbs worked. A few days later after I had some quite time I really looked at my feet and saw I had a simple case of really bad foot fungus. Oh did I have a good laugh on me. When my brain could function I remembered that vinegar gets rid of fungus and got a bottle applying it to my feet 2 times a day. That brought it under control immediately, the heat went away and another problem simply solved. I did not take my shoes off after that and started to wear socks everywhere I went. Ahh yes the learn by doing program.
I started to get sick from all the mango trees being in bloom. I started to sneeze and my nose started to drip like a faucet. I am sure this had a little to do with going around everywhere on a moped breathing all the dust and pollution. The first nite this happened and again my brain was pretty dull so it was a challenge to think. As I was sitting on my bed all I could think of was I would have given anything for a contact cold capsule to dry my nose up . No I didn’t have the fore site to bring any with me. I was sitting on my bed trying to think what I could do..And yes praying for guidance. I went to look in a black bag someone gave me with odds and ends in it for healing. Like band aids, scissors, and just odd stuff for lack of better words. I looked at it when I got it and really didn’t pay much attention to what was in the bag. When I opened it I found a homeopathic remedy …..And this is the best part …it was for runny noses. I did start to chuckle. It was exactly what I needed
What are the odds? The main thought that came to my mind right after immense gratitude was wow the Baba’s are really taking good care of me. Did my friend put the vial in there or was it spirit manifested? I really didn’t care at that point I was just very grateful to have it. That got me thru the night. The next morning I said to self go ask the herbal nurse if she has anything to help stop my allergy. Of course she did. Between the homeopathic remedy and the herbs I stayed healthy for the rest of the trip.
All I did in Tamale was take people out of pain with my Angelite tools and love….. Energy to all you left brainers. Then gave away my tools so that person could keep healing and help their family.
All the time I did my healing I did not focus on any outcome at all. I just did the work. It was not a strange day for me to work on anywhere between 30 and 50 people a day. I probably gave away more than. 400 tools during my healing mission. Because of all the energy flowing through me all the time I had pretty high energy. I helped…(God working thru me for I am just the instrument He uses as a Divine tool.)..every one I touched.
It was great when all I had to do was to take people out of pain, teach and stay connected to the Divine.
It gave me great joy to stay in that high energy.
After about a week in Tamale I decided that maybe I should just stay there for the people were so receptive. Ha the Divine said…..and He let me make connections with the Sathya Sai Baba group….well at least one of them so that door started to open for me. I was so delighted to connect. Now this tells you the character of Sai Baba devotees….he was willing to come meet me the. 10miles or so by bicycle for his car and motor bike were in need of repair. I asked my guide to take me to him on his motorbike. I was not going to miss this opportunity to connect. We got on the motorcycle and went to him. After listening to this man talk I new he also lived the SaiBaba Gita. That warmed my heart. He invited me to use his house if I needed a place to stay. He was going out of town and the house would have been empty. How kind. I thought about it for a short time and declined for where the Divine put me was really perfect and was easy for me to get around. I was also teaching the other people in the house how to heal. I did want to be with the Sai group in Accra so I said I would like to be there the last week I am in Ghana. He said he would see what arraignments could be made and I left.
The rest of the trip was being filled up by the Divine and I just needed to go with the flow.
My catholic hostess had such a big heart that when she realized the healing work I was doing….and taking it to the people she decided to only charge me for food, which came to only $3.50a day. I did give her a little more money before I left and as soon as my finances are in better shape I will send her some more.
My handsome guide was hard to say goodbye too. He had also become my apprentice and stills continue to heal in Tamale. I really expect him to go beyond what I can do one day. It is all about practice and just doing.
That’s all I did in Tamale was go out and heal people…..then rest. I did go to a wedding at the end and I did more healing work there for it was my guide’s brother wedding. It was the least I could do to repay his kindness and attention he gave me.
I made it thru another 2 weeks with out getting sick and accomplishing a lot with the healing I was doing. And I managed not to fall in love and complicate my life. I made a lot of new friends and I hope we will continue with the friendship.
I must say that everyone works in Ghana. I was so impressed with all the small ma and pa business all over. Very enterprising people. I didn’t see a mall at all. Did I miss it? Not one bit. Being a business owner myself I enjoyed supporting the local small business. I kept my eye out for something to take back to sell at my store. It was hard for I didn’t have any money to buy nor was I thinking real clear about the material. One thing that caught my eye was all the beautiful cloths the Ghanaian s wore. Most of the cloths were tailor made to you.. It didn’t matter what your size was the dresses made you look beautiful and stunning. depending on the material. I did indulge and had a few dresses custom made for xn--me-s3t.it was pretty affordable. I could not come back completely empty handed now could i? I always receive compliments when I wear them here in Hawaii and people ask me where they can get them. The other thing that caught my attention was the natural herbs. Those are great and hope to bring the line into my store.
I was ready to be around Sai Baba devotees. I made the ticket back to Accra for the next Monday which would give me one week to be with the Baba people. I thought that that would be more than enough time…wrong again.
