Love Inspired Truth

Listen to Truth. It does not try to appease you or convince you. It simply is. It is created by Divine Oneness, never by mortal humans, because you are most likely still working on imbalances, confusion, and misperceptions.  Truth is beyond human understanding. It sings a song from the heavens, from the voice of All That Is, from the vibrations of Unconditional Love.  It is always attainable though you must have begun your inner journey to Wholeness. You need to begin this inner journey to Wholeness for Truth to be revealed to you.  You have to go within and understand with every part of your being that you are loved and cherished, constantly, thoroughly, and irrevocably by the Divine Love of the Universe.

You are truly loved no matter what has befallen you. Even when attacked, hurt, sick, unable to find the right partner, or unable to find your professional path, you are profoundly loved. You may ask, how can that be? One explanation is that you may be paying a karmic debt during this life. Karmic debts are required of us when we have committed a seemingly unforgivable debt in a previous lifetime. We need to pay for that debt to be free to expand and fully grow in consciousness. Your life may be devoted to paying off that debt or debts so that you can soar. You may not feel loved because there are parts of your life that are very hard and seemingly unfair. However, you are still loved with a fierceness that created your current life precisely for you to be free from past transgressions. This is one type of Truth that  might be revealed to you if you go within, seeking.

Nothing that happens in this world is haphazard.  However, because you may not be fully versed in Divine Truth, you may resort to the belief in haphazard events, fear, or blame to make sense of that which is beyond your senses.  All poverty, hatred, violence, anger, resentment, and illness are humanly created. You create a myriad of imbalances from being separated from Truth. When you go within, you are taught about Love that is all encompassing and all forgiving and you slowly heal from all that separates you from Truth, Peace, and Balance.  

Being separate from Truth can also show up in how you feel about yourself. You may feel you have failed in reaching your potential or that you are being punished because of every bad thing that has happened to you. You may blame yourself for being in an unsuccessful relationship. All the while, you have simply forgotten to ask for help, for all things, in all ways, at all times. Consciously seeking in Silence and listening to Truth can heal these inaccurate perceptions of yourself and help receive needed support to see yourself as the person you actually are, loving and evolving.  

This world is created in Love, and Truth is intrinsically part of that Love. You stray from that Truth every time you give into fear, anger, blame, depression, gossip, pride, judgment, or shame. These feelings and thoughts separate you from Spirit. When separated from Spirit, your requests for help have no power. If for example you are carrying self-anger and blame, when you call for a shift in your work relationships, this cannot be received. Your self-anger and blame energy block your ability to receive the energy of the request you made. This is because your self-perceptions are not in Truth!!!  You have to come from loving, truthful energy for stuck energy to be transformed. The Truth is, you are a loving person carrying negative self- perceptions which are not the Truth, so this energy has to be transformed  before the healing energies can be received.

Clear all blocked energies that separate you from God’s energy of love, peace, and balance. Then, all subsequent prayers are answered, every single time. You are also then privy to Truth energy that helps form the way you live.

Only Love can fully speak the Truth. For the Universe and all who dwell therein were created in Divine Love and in the image of that magnificent energy.  Anything less than living in accurate Truth falls short of your full potential. You who want to reach your full potential; meditate, spend time in Silence, seek balance, seek kindness to self and forgiveness of others. You could do yourself a great kindness to pursue these ways to reach your full, loving, and powerful Truth.

Where to begin? Use the Spiritual Healing Protocol to free yourself from any type of imbalance which separates you from knowing Divine Source and living in Truth.

Living in the Now

My dearest Beloved and I walk a while together, such peace
We speak of nothing, we appreciate the lush greenness
My lungs expand to fill with cool air
I sense the Peace filling my body and optimism returning
Easy vibrations fill me up, so totally supportive and delicious
Yet I sigh with knowing I must return

My earthly existence beckons me back, the wonder and the grind both
Deeply within, I long to escape the issues facing me
I long to reside with my Beloved Divine all the time
I sense the deep desire to commune with All That Is
I would rather not plow through every challenge facing me
I would rather be still and unfurl into my Wholeness

Old familiar fears and doubt cast me into worried futures and unresolved pasts
I do have the choice to remain in the present, though it fades in and out
My mind sings a song of mistrust and anxiety
My heart so valiantly tries to play a different tune
My mind holds me hostage along with every fear I have ever imagined
My heart must lead though, it is here the Peace is and the struggle calms

Once again, as I actually stay in the present, I do not miss my Beloved
I remember I can be happy in the present moment
Nothing need call to me in this moment but that which is right before me
Unless I move into regret or give voice to anticipation, I am safe
I can ride the present wave and create all that is needed
Loving wholeness moving moment to moment, suspended in the Now

Mind Creates Matter

What we think, how we feel about our thoughts, and how we react to these thoughts has a huge impact on every aspect of our lives including our bodies. When working in Sacred Space, I have been repeatedly led to seek answers to physical imbalances from places where energy is blocked. In other words, I get nudged to look for stuck energies so through clearing, new balance levels can manifest for specific bodies or situations. This has consistently worked well with all sorts of physical and relationship imbalances.

You may have heard the saying, “What you pay attention to grows”. If you keep thinking that you are not up to a particular task, it is very hard to do that task well or at all. If you keep thinking about how underweight and ugly you feel you are, you can focus on this so strongly that nothing else about you registers or seems to matter. Imagine all the thoughts you have in a given day and their impact on your body. What you think determines how you function but also how your body creates itself. So, becoming aware of your thoughts is paramount to being able to change those thoughts towards the positive.

Imbalances shared with me about one’s body, relationships, work, or life circumstances all initiate looking at thought processes.The imbalances serve to teach us that some of our thoughts are not helpful. The imbalances we have in our lives and bodies begin with imbalances in our thoughts and can be exacerbated by our feelings.

A client* felt that she had had no success in her life with men. She had been divorced twice and was dating again. She was seriously wondering whether she was even likable to any man. In Sacred Space work, the Divine beings around her indicated  that she had hidden fears about being able to be her true self in an intimate relationship. She was blocked from having workable relationships with men because of this hidden fear.  As she cleared these issues at all levels of consciousness, (conscious, subconscious, unconscious, and supra-conscious) she began to find compatible men to date and began to change her negative self-perception about how she was seen by men.

Another person had bone marrow cancer in several of his bones. When we began seeking the reasons behind this, it was revealed that he had created a life contract for pain and suffering so that he could develop more compassion for others in pain. When this set of unhelpful thoughts healed regarding his life contract, he healed from bone marrow cancer without any chemo or radiation. We called for Divine vibrational intervention for all affected bones and that was enough for all his bones to heal.

Thoughts are very powerful and impact energy in your life, your body, and your relationships. So, how do you work with this effectively? Seek to determine what negative or unhelpful thoughts can be connected to the imbalance you are dealing with. Open Sacred Space and put this question to the Divine Beings working with you. They are present to help you. If nothing comes immediately, pay attention to your thoughts in the next few days. You will very likely be guided to the thoughts that are the culprits causing the imbalance.

A client reported with distress that her relationship with her husband was no longer affectionate. She asked in Sacred Space for guidance as to what she might be doing that was causing this. In the next three days, she realized she carried negative judgment energy about her husband regarding a number of issues. These were not areas she had even raised with her husband. However, the stuck energy was being shown to her so that she could clear all negative judgment trauma energy manifesting as a lack of affection and closeness between herself and her husband.  Their relationship changed in lovely ways with more two-way affection being shared. The clearing we do for ourselves often affects others around us as well.

Monitor your thoughts. Begin to challenge those thoughts that are negative and unhelpful. This is a good proactive approach to cleaning up your brain. Use Silence to pose your questions that are bothering you and ask how you may be unwittingly creating the imbalances you are experiencing. This is a powerful way to move into balance in your life, relationships, body, and health.

Experiencing God From Within

“God is in the heart and soul of every being. And when you open within yourself the secret temple in your heart, then with the all-knowing intuition of the soul you shall read the book of life.” Paramahansa Yogananda (1)

What does this mean? You have to go within to fully actualize who you are. You are vastly more than the localized body and life you live day to day. You are connected to the non-local energy of All That Is, all the time, whether you know it or not. If you want to fully reap those benefits, you have to go to Silence within and listen to the still small voice of God which is delivered through the intuition of your soul, your eternal self.

Photo by Robert Baker

Yogananda continues, “Then and only then will you contact the living God. Without this feeling in your heart, there will be no answer to your prayers. You may attract what your positive actions and good karma permit you to have; but to receive a conscious response from God, you must first attain Divine attunement with God.” (2)

Divine attunement with God refers to actively going into Silence with the express purpose of making conscious contact with the energy of God/Divine Source. As you discover imbalances within, you clear them and come into greater attunement with Divine Source. You have to want to have a personal  exchange with Divine Source to have that manifest. Attunement means coming into balance, into the same frequency as God. This only happens in the quiet conscious seeking of Divine Source.

You may be afraid of what you will feel or be told about your faults if you expand your personal relationship with the living God. The truth is that you are so loved, way beyond the ability of your imagination to comprehend this. You are first and foremost here to develop a two-way relationship with All That Is. You are here to heal that which is not who you truly are; your fears, your anger, your unforgiveness, and your self-criticism.

Photo by Keegan Houser

You are here to seek peace and joy within. You can’t do this anywhere else. You can’t do this when you leave your body or when you take a different form from your human body. You have to find this path to the living God while in a human body. That is the reason you are in body. When you find this path to God, you can create the life, relationships, peace, and loving wholeness you are seeking. You get as many chances as you need to do this.

Begin now and expand the time you currently allot to experiencing connection with God. Every moment you allot to connect with Divine Source comes back to you one hundredfold. (Mark 10:30, King James Version)

Conscious Seeking of God

1. Find a place where you will not be disturbed

2. Open Sacred Space (even if you are unsure about what that fully means just yet)

3. State your intention for being with Divine Source/God/All That Is/The Oneness

4. State your hesitations, your concerns, your troubles, your hopes

5. Be quiet, listen and be present

6. Give thanks silently or through writing to All That Is about what you are learning

7.  Return frequently to experience clearer direction and connection with the energy of God, that energy within you and surrounding you throughout the Universe

Remember you are already hard-wired to Divine Source! You are simply amplifying that connection. There is no one right way to do this. There is only the way you learn to make space in your life for a living connection with God.

Coming Out of Illness

This poem is written in first person and in the present moment. It captures part of my healing journey in the past.  It also captures the journeys of several of my clients through their years of healing and is based on the feelings and stories they have shared with me.

I have been unwell for over 20 years
I think of myself as unable to heal
I suffer some of every week, most days in fact
I keep trying to heal and I keep being unwell

My world is filled with pain and sadness
I have little energy most days
I would love to be normal
I would love to have things run smoothly
In my body and in my life

I have become accustomed to illness
I have lots of doctors
I have lots of tests and meds in my daily routine
I am without much lasting joy
though it does show up sometimes

SEEKING THESE 20 YEARS

I found a way to be quiet
I found a way to look at my feelings
I found a way to listen to the still small voice
I found that I am not my illnesses

I found a way to disconnect from the past
I found a way to look at all that hurts
I found a way to command the fears out
I found that I am more than my old stories

I found a way to listen
I found a way to set down
I found a way to ask for help
I found a way to trust I could be well
I found that getting well begins within
