“Love’s Power.” A healed relationship, that is what I so wanted after haggling for five years between my sister, brother and I to settle the land and home our now deceased mom and dad left the three of us. Equally we would split the proceeds.

At least two signatures would be needed on an offer from an interested buyer of eight acres us siblings had to divine in equal portions. Finally after four years an offer on the acreage came. It was lower than we each wanted. And brother dearly wished he could buy my sister and I out.

Truthfully, he could not. He did not have the money. I told him upfront my intentions were to sell mom and dad’s assets and have the monies equally distributed to my sister, brother and I. My assertion was not easy nevertheless, since I knew this was painful for my brother.

He lived across the street in a homestead of 2 and a half acres with a dwelling. Mom and dad gave brother a mortgage and he bought the family homestead. The vacant eight acres of estate property was directly across the street from where brother lived. Dividing and selling our parent’s assets did not come easy to their three children, brother, sister and I.

Nevertheless, my sister and I signed off on the eight acre piece of land across street from brother’s home. He called me a week later and asked why I signed. I told him I wanted the estate to settle and to progress to dividing the monies equally between us three. 

Bang, he hung up the phone on me. It would be ten year later until I faced and talked to my brother again. During those ten years I felt uncomfortable and wanted very much for peace and communications restored between brother and I.

I intuitively thought meditation and prayer would be the healer and restorative power needed. The following is a summation of a healing meditation between God, myself and my brother and what followed:

I went into meditation feeling the presence of God as love. I forgave the three of us—my brother, sister and me—to clear my heart. Also in the quiet stillness I talked with my brother and sensed his presence in meditation. I asked him to forgive me. In stillness, I sat in the peace and could feel we were together spirit to spirit.

During meditation I could communicate lovingly and openly. There was no block, no fear. Too, I asked for release of contentious feelings and thoughts between us. Most endearing, I could feel his love for me. The meditation experience was one I will remember; for it is a permanent part of my soul. Likewise, the time of deep spiritual communion with Ted felt precious and like an act of realized grace.

Moreover, I asked God to show me the way and time to reconnect, to physically visit my brother many states away. Simultaneously, thoughts of God’s will for me would come to mind and rest in my heart—God is absolute good, I am the embodiment of divine good. By spiritual right I claimed individual self-worth, acceptance and well-being through-in and throughout my nature and life experiences.

Within a decade, divine guidance led me to my brother’s home. I moved forward brave and humble, remembering the love felt between us during meditation. We had a good visit and reunited after nearly ten years of no communication. Very little of our communication during our reconciliation visit between Ted and I was about the estate settlement. It was done and over, Ted and I began a new chapter living in harmony once more as sister and brother.

Now, husband David and I visit my brother yearly since he is in his upper senior years and the three of us want to stay connected. Our reuniting has filled an empty hole in me since Ted and I are the last of our five member family of origin.

I feel the divine love between us I felt in the meditation time repaired, healed and restored brother and I. Peace returned to both of us. I believe it was God’s will of good manifesting as the out-pictured harmony and relationship restoration. I was and am so thankful for the profound healing between us.

Emmet Fox in The Ten Commandments book stated: “The most powerful prayer is the prayer of the person who has the most love.”
