My Favorite and Best Teacher!

 

Here is a little bit of my spiritual life adventure. I am sharing about a teacher who is very inspiring. She has inspired me and thousands of others, and still does! We need, in our life, to have good examples of people we respect and we admire for who they are or what they do. Could be anyone, a family member, a friend, a teacher, nature, or an animal companion. Everything inspires us, some more than others, but all make a difference and this is how we grow. We help each other by sharing ourselves.

....When I think of my life now I can’t help realizing the progress that I have made in many facets of my life. 

When I met grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha (grandmother is a term of respect and endearment in the native community, for a special teacher), on the outside everything looked great, but inwardly it was far from being the same. I was always interested in understanding who I was and what I was doing here. So I did quite a bit of reading on psychological, metaphysical and scientific studies, and took several courses. All this to be able to develop myself more and be able to really see and hear and connect with who I was. It still did not quite help fill up that hole, that emptiness that was inside. God was always with me, but I was not always with God. When I discovered yoga and the Buddhist culture (not a religion – more a way to be aware and able to control your mind) it helped me. I remember thinking “Finally people talking a language that my spirit responds to”.  I even became a yoga teacher in order be able to relax enough to at least feel life more through my senses, which were quite numb. Being born in our society is not always an easy task and like everyone else I had a lot of wounds and psychological handicaps that I was not aware of or had been very successful at burying deeply inside.

At one point one of our mutual friends which was a part of our meditation group, talked about how her sister had met this very interesting lady called Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha. She explained about some of exciting workshops that her sister had taken with her.

We organized to meet “Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha” and we were enough in numbers for her to come to Montreal and do a week-end workshop for us. These special two days shared with Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha were most enlightening.  I never had met before someone who was so transparent and very to the point. All her teachings were very simple and very logical and it was steering something inside, a truth, something I could not deny.  As a motivational speaker, Grandmother Pa'Ris'Ha uses science also (Quantum physics) so we can have a bigger picture. When she teaches, you know, you can tell that it has all been done, practiced, experienced, and lived.  Her teachings are true gems of wisdom, not just words.  She lives and applies in her everyday life every bit of what she teaches you. She walks her talk. This is what gives her so much authority.

Today I can truly say that I have never met anybody that gives so much of themselves. She is constantly giving. She is the most generous and loving person I have ever met. She has helped and is constantly helping a huge amount of people and making a huge difference in their life. Either by giving generously and endlessly so they could be educated or fed, either by sharing all the tools that she acquired (she’s very well educated in many fields of the mind and the spirit) or being there when there is a need, distributing blankets, food and so much more. 

Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha is a teacher of the heart (http://parishas-world.com) and she helps you understand yourself better as a growing human being, by sharing her love, values and the beauty of her spiritual upbringing which is very inspiring. “We are spirits learning to be humans” and not the opposite as she says. But in the same time she will teach you scientifically about the brain and its functions so you have a broader picture of who you are. If there is any problem somewhere, you better be sure that she will be there helping in any way she can. Grandmother is very modest about all that she does.

She mostly wants to help people develop their full potential so they can live a full life and in return be able to make a difference. She is a natural healer and her presence is very soothing, comforting and uplifting.   Pa’Ris’Ha is real and well balanced. She is an extremely intelligent and very polished business woman and very successful at it, and always from the heart. The wonderful part about her is that she will share all her successes with you and teach you all you need to know to do the same. But most of all, she is always helping people in need, no matter what it take, physically, emotionally, spiritually. She is a woman that sincerely wants the world to be a better place, and she does not only talk about it, she acts upon it. She is a blessing to us all.  

In all the years that I have studied with Grandmother, I have acquired tools that have truly helped me go through some very intense life’s crises and come out of it better than I was.  Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha teaches you to be strong and walk on your own two feet, materially as well as emotionally. If she sees that you start depending too much on her, she disappears. The term “Grandmother” says it all.  As I mentioned earlier, it is an endearing way to describe someone who you trust and respect and who will help you grow and develop your full potential. Just watching her is a teaching. If I can achieve even a parcel of what she’s achieving spiritually and materially on a regular basis, I can say that I would be very fulfilled and satisfied. It is important to have a person like Grandmother Pa’Ris’Ha in your life. It is the best incentive to succeed that you’ll ever have, because she truly is with you every step of the way.  She really embodies Love, Compassion and Generosity.

The good part is that we are all teachers and students. We all matter and have a unique message to share with the world. If we don’t, who will?  This could be simply being who you are. Simplicity is the way of life. Nature in its beauty and deeply healing energy, is very simple. No pretense, no fear, just a constant display of love and beauty. 

Trust yourself, love and appreciate who you are. You are as unique as your fingerprints!
