That’s Your Problem

Yet, another fight with hurtful, flung words
Escalating volume and bulging eyes
Red faces, slamming doors, and stalking off down the stairs
With angry tones and nasties still following both of us

By Priscilla du Preez

What brings us each to these places?
What other options do I have?
What other options does my other have?
What do we do when it is all over?

Inner exploration is the only sure thing that works for me 
What triggers me again and again, needs my setting down
My not feeling heard or understood, needs my clearing
My words not seemingly received as valuable, needs my attention

As anger escalates and stays at a heightened, hidden level
The biggest temptation is to bury the issues and the experience
Tiptoe around them and both pretend we do not have
An enormous pink elephant in the room

Pretty soon we are skilled at not addressing anger
We get to a place of lackluster and self-protection
We choose immediate placating and ignoring
Hoping it will all blow over and somehow just disappear

However, when the same issues come up again
The energy is fueled from all the previous times
We have stalked off and pretended we made up
Put on a good face without doing the inner clean up

By Diana Simumpande

God of all, help me see what is not at peace within
Help me honor what is not at peace for my other
Help me be brave enough to try again when calmer
Help me be open to what is hurting for my other

I call forth love and kindness for us both
Compassion for my other and for myself
Joy that we are together through thick and thin
Inclusive energy where I don’t get to say, That’s your problem.


Created with a big nod to Thich Nhat Hanh

Choice for Love

The capacity to love starts within
With forgiveness of everyone and everything
With the forgiveness of self
With gentleness and kindness to self

With compassion for all your perceived faults
For all the lost opportunities
For all the messed up efforts
For all the wished for differences in the past

Photo by Antonika Chanel

Love* begins with seeking the Oneness
Without any understanding of It at all
It is the seeking that grows the Love
Then comes the realization, you are just perfect

You are exactly where you need to be
There is no possible way to get off the path
On your way to loving self and others
Every mess up is learning for the heart and head

Pain and all negativity is not punishment
It is a deep call to seek the Wholeness within
It is a profound call to your I AM self
The part that is always One with All That Is

The capacity to love is infinite
In all ways through all trials
It is ever present beckoning your true self
To make the choice for Love

In every situation
In all relationships
In every thought and act
In every effort of your entire life

And so it is!

 

* Love is capitalized when it is a noun because I am speaking of Divine Love, that beyond the physical self.

To begin to forgive and set down unhelpful thoughts and patterns restricting love (or any other imbalance), sign-up for the short voice guided Healing Yourself tutorial  or use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol for ways to clear old blocked energies affecting you ability to fully love.

Make a Loving Choice

Beloved, who among us is not without fault?
It is through fault that we have the opportunity for compassion
It is through fault that we can forgive
It is through fault that we can cultivate humility

Fault is an invitation to awareness
When we are in the wrong, it indicates that we are paying attention
That we are being given the opportunity for a different outcome
That we can choose to make the fault right

Photo by Tim Mossholder

Of course, we have to begin with the desire to be at peace
That is an inner choice only we can make
We have complete control over what we want to project
Even if we do not project exactly as we might intend

We are given all the chances we need
To be the person we want to be
We have lifetimes to hone our behavior
To practice apologizing and setting relationships right

What keeps us from truly setting things right with others?
Pride, haughtiness, arrogance, shame, and guilt
All play to our smallest selves, keep us tied up inside
Unable to extend peace, defending our image of perfection

When we hang onto being right, we die a bit inside
We clog the avenues of love and kindness
We disconnect from our own true selves
Loving, caring, humble, gracious, open beings

Our souls place us where we can learn to make a loving choice
Grief, embarrassment, regret, and twisted insides may be present
But we are in charge of who we choose to be
How we choose to react and how we project

We will continue to be given the chance for peace
The chance to make different, loving, repairing choices
The chance to swallow pride and banish righteousness
The chance to be the person, we truly are

Will you take that chance today?
To repair a strained relationship?
To heal the darkness separating you from another?
To risk being rejected, even while you are making the loving choice?

Herein lies the way to inner peace
Herein lies the way to healing and respect
Herein lies the way to health and joy
Make a loving choice when fault comes knocking at your door.

Wired for Divine Connection

Photo by Rawpixel

everyone is already wired for Divine connection
the fact that you are in body means you are connected
you can ask and receive help where needed
if your request is in alignment with God’s will

calling for another’s downfall is not God’s will
calling for damage, revenge, attack, or payback
is not God’s will
calling for punishment for another’s actions
is not God’s will

calling for a person to heal may or may not be God’s will
if you do not get what you want
that does not mean you have not been heard
it means what you have called for is not God’s will

does that mean that your call was useless?
no, the calling forth is a beginning dialogue with God
the answer is not the point really
your call is the expression of your compassion

using your compassion grows love energy
whether or not the specific outcome is received
your compassion for others grows when used
more love begets more love

Photo by Jon Tyson

persistence in loving others is rewarded
with more contact and guidance from Divine Source
in how to effectively proceed
in how to successfully bring forth the healing you envision

begin anywhere in your dialogue with the Oneness
keep calling in love, healing, kindness, success,
support, clarity, clearing, and grace
for others and you will get better at this!

be the love you want to see
be a force for healing, love, and grace
use your compassion to grow into your fullness
all else will come, all else will manifest

Self-Worth and Self-Compassion Healing

Photo by Miguel Bruna

At the root of many of life’s imbalances lies an imbalance around self-worth. I have seen people with self-worth trauma energy who could not manifest healthy relationships, could not sleep, could not find a fulfilling job, could not stop drinking or using drugs, whose bodies constantly hurt, who could not lose weight, who were chronically depressed, and who could not stop beating themselves up daily over just about everything. Self-worth trauma energy is elusive, hard to diagnose, difficult to recognize in oneself, and challenging to heal. Despite its pervasive impact, it is not something most of us want to confront. See Loving of Self for more on this general topic.

You may know you have low self-esteem, chronic imbalances or are not fulfilling your dreams. Odds are, though, that you hardly ever connect these observations with self-worth trauma energy. Self-worth trauma energy is most often buried in the subconscious, unconscious, and supra-conscious (soul) levels. You may be unaware of its presence or impact on you.

The absence of compassion for self can be seen when you constantly push yourself or always need to do more to feel effective and worthy of admiration. Self-compassion trauma energy is present when you judge, berate, or criticize yourself in your mind or in public. This trauma energy is also present when you cannot forgive yourself wholly for past actions, words, or deeds or when you negatively evaluate your body, personality, likability, or appearance.

My son recently observed that the best way to address self-worth trauma energy is through compassion for self.  To be able to do this, both self-worth and self-compassion trauma energies need to clear from your energy field to make space for healing. After these trauma energies have cleared, both self-worth renewal energy and compassion for self also need to be called into your energy field.

Next, you need to consider whether or not self-worth and self-compassion trauma energies might both be gene-induced from your hereditary lines. Are these familial patterns you have seen in parents, grandparents, cousins, or aunt and uncles? If so, the presence of these issues may well be genetic in nature.

Lack of self-worth and compassion for self can also come from any type of abuse, violence, or life trauma energy such as loss of a parent or sibling.  Additionally, if a life trauma occurred before you were seven, you may have no awareness of it. If you grew up in a household of folks constantly pushing themselves, compassion for self may have rarely ever been experienced. Any of these traumas may be unknown to you at the conscious level.

Therefore, you need a systematic way to address all these issues. If you have the slightest inkling that you may carry these issues, here is an approach for healing these issues and all their symptoms. Keep at it until you get the desired results. All spiritual work needs to be done in Sacred Space.

Self-Worth and Self-Compassion Healing Protocol Steps, (Steps 3 and 4 of the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol).

Use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol (6SSHP) for this work unless you have advanced to using the Divine Healing Protocol.* Repeat the 6SSHP for each work section given below. This wording is for Steps 3 and 4 of the 6SSHP .  Fill in the other steps from the 6SSHP as you do the healing. You may need a few days to complete this series of work.

For each of the steps below, speak the “call” aloud with conviction. No previous experience is needed here for success!

Genetic rebalancing

  • I call for the turning off of all genes( specific number if available) contributing to gene-induced self-worth trauma energy and all symptoms and I call for the turning on of all genes ( specific number if available**) needed to support self-worth development. Extend this to my entire genetic line.
  • I call for the turning off of all genes( specific number if available) contributing to gene-induced self-compassion trauma energy and all symptoms and I call for the turning on of all genes ( specific number if available**) needed to support compassion for self-development. Extend this to my entire genetic line.

Self-worth and Self-compassion trauma clearing 

  • I call for the clearing of self-worth trauma energy and all symptoms.
  • I call for the clearing of self-compassion trauma energy and all symptoms.

Clearing for abuse, violence and life trauma energies

  • I call for the clearing of abuse trauma energy and all symptoms including self-worth and self-compassion trauma energy
  • I call for the clearing of violence trauma energy and all symptoms including self-worth and self-compassion trauma energy
  • I call for the clearing of life trauma energy and all symptoms including self-worth and self-compassion trauma energy

Call in self-worth and self-compassion

I call in the energies of self-worth and self-compassion to flow into my physical, energetic and auric fields bringing positive changes for my body, mind, and soul on a continuous basis until these energies fully manifest.

 

*Use each step of the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol. If you are fully competent with the Six-Step Healing Protocol, you can use the shorter process of the “Divine Healing Protocol” instead of using the full Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol.  For more, see: Is There a Shortcut to the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol?

** Those using pendulums in Sacred Space or those with auditory or sensory knowing may get specific numbers.
