TRAVELING
WITH YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL

I’ve traveled
a lot for both business and pleasure over the years, and have encountered
my share of airplane delays, lost luggage, and even sports injuries
on these trips. About ten years ago, in reading spiritual articles and
books, I read a suggestion to request benevolent outcomes for all the
events in your life. I decided to try it out, and was amazed how PERFECTLY
it worked for everything-- from small requests, such as a parking spot
next to a busy restaurant or a seat on a busy Paris subway, to the really
important situations in my business and personal life. After having
made these requests between 10,000 and 15,000 times, I am firmly convinced
that our Guardian Angels are there to assist us in living more gentle
lives. We just have to ask.
I request Most
Benevolent Outcomes for all my trips. When it comes time to go to the
airport, I say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome for the drive
to the airport in safety and with no delays. Thank you.” At the
airport, I’ll say, “I request a Most Benevolent Outcome
that my bags arrive safely and on time. Thank you.”
David in St. Louis
related how he requested a Benevolent Outcome for making it through
the Security check line with no problems. Just as the person ahead of
him was directed into the maze, the gatekeeper closed off that path
and let David be the first person to pass through the route normally
used only for flight personnel through security. As he said, “that
was cool!"
On a business trip
back from Washington DC, I requested a Benevolent Outcome for sitting
next to someone interesting. A gentleman offered to trade seats with
a young lady sitting next to me so she could sit with her friend, and
he turned out to be a buyer that I had not seen at the market. I was
able to give him some information that will result in a sale. That’s
how Benevolent Outcomes work. It is so much fun to see how your Guardian
Angel makes these things happen!
I rented a car
in Nice, France for the drive to Cannes on a freeway. Naturally I requested
a Benevolent Outcome for the drive. A small car passed by me at 90 miles
per hour. About 100 yards up the road, he lost control, spun out and
bounced off the guardrail ending up straddled across two of the three
lanes of traffic. Had I been five seconds earlier, I would have been
in danger of being involved.
After dinner in
Milan, Italy one night, I walked out to a busy boulevard, thinking I
would easily find a taxi back to my hotel. All the taxis that passed
were full, so after five minutes, I requested a Benevolent Outcome for
a taxi. Before the words were completely out of my mouth, a taxi turned
right in front of me, I signaled to him, and off we went to the hotel.
The Milan airport
is a long drive outside the city, so I requested a Benevolent Outcome
for someone to share my taxi at 5:00 am. The next morning when I checked
out of the hotel there were no people in sight. I was resigned to paying
for an expensive taxi, when in walked six doctors from the Mayo Clinic.
They had hired a mini-bus to take them to the airport and invited me
to join them, at no charge!
Jean from Ontario,
Canada was in Seattle exploring the city by bus. She asked for a Benevolent
Outcome for her ride downtown. As the driver approached the front of
the Seattle Center, home of the Space Needle, a delivery truck suddenly
stopped in front of him. The bus driver brought the bus safely to a
stop within inches of the truck. No one was injured, and Jean was able
to joke with the driver about all the paper work he had just avoided!
What are some other
Most Benevolent Outcomes (MBO’s) you can request while traveling?
- Request
a MBO for your passport to be delivered on time;
-
Request a MBO for getting the best room in a hotel for your preferences;
-
Request a MBO if you are having to “standby” for a flight
that’s quite full;
-
Request a MBO for seats on busy subways, buses, or trains;
-
Request a MBO when you are in dangerous places for your safety;
-
Request a MBO each time you take part in a sport, such as skiing,
on a trip;
-
Request a MBO for being seated at the perfect table on a cruise to
meet interesting people;
-
Request a MBO for pleasant weather conditions for your excursions.
I wish you many
“happy trails!”
