The Broomstick Challenge
By Sue Greenwald
In December 2020, our Jedi healing group did the “Broomstick Challenge” for fun. We all set brooms with their bristles on the floor and commanded the broom to stay upright. The fairies and elementals would then assist in keeping the brooms upright. My broom is slanted and has softer bristles. I thought that it’d never work because it’s not firm enough, and that “logically” it couldn’t stand upright. Then I thought, “what the heck, there’s no harm in trying! What have I got to lose? I’ll try it for 10 seconds!” I put it down on the floor with a command to stand. And it DID!!
That particular time, my broom stood there upright for 17 days! I took pictures and video of my broom every day to show it to the group. My friends that visited my apartment were amazed, and couldn’t believe that it was just standing there. As I said, the broom was slanted with very soft bristles, so “logically” it shouldn’t have worked, especially for 17 days.
When I set my broom up, I wasn’t thinking about where to put it so it wouldn’t be in the way. I had a small apartment at the time, and the broom was on the edge of the kitchen, right near the table, definitely in the way. It stood there for 17 days, which was a fun miracle. On day 17, I was preoccupied, looking down while walking fast, and walked right into the broom when I wasn’t looking, knocking it over. I was disappointed as it was so cool to see, but also relieved, as it’d taken up a bit of space in my kitchen area, and I needed the broom.
We started another broomstick challenge in March of 2022. That time, I consciously placed my broom a little out to the way so it wasn’t as crowded. I took photos and video of the broom standing there each day, sharing it with the group. My broomstick stood for 20 days, and then I took it down. I’d decided that I’d proved that the fairies and elementals were helping me, and I wanted to use the broom. It was fun to see how long it’d stand, but I wanted to use it!
So, who SAYS fairies and elementals aren’t real!
PS. My cat would walk and lay near the broom, but never touched it during either of those episodes.
