You Are Not the Fears You Have

When you are being run by fears such as not having enough money, not feeling lovable, not feeling you will ever have the energy you desire, or not feeling you are making a difference, these feelings are not you. They are simply fears crossing your path that you have given your energy to.  Fears arise and because you do not really feel connected with Divine Source, therefore, you give your energy to these fears. You grow your fears, in other words.  The fundamental fear is that you are not loved. This fuels all the other fears. The fear you are not loved manifests in a thousand ways to get you to look at those fears and discard them. This is essentially your eternal job. You are here to face and dismantle all the fears you carry. You do not have to do this alone. There is all the help you need.

However, there are many pitfalls along the way. You may get in a loop of blaming others for not loving you enough. You may get into the habit of judging self or others harshly to keep you from looking at your own fears. You may get in a loop of hiding from the fears you are carrying and they will manifest as your being snippy, angry, haughty, judging, unkind, dismissive, unforgiving, unhappy, depressed, or selfish.  Still, though, these behaviors are not you either. They are the result of unexamined fears running you. Those undesirable behaviors are the result of you building up fears within, without examining them.

One of the toughest realizations is that you may be totally wrong about yourself and who your are. To find yourself fully, you need to go inside and sit with Divine Source/God/the Great Spirit. Here you will find Truth, Love, Forgiveness and Acceptance. Truly, this awaits each of you, every minute of every day. However, your fears of being less that you would hope, more broken than you fear, or much darker than you feel you can address, may keep you from going inside to Silence.

The big secret about going inside to the quiet is that you are much more loving, capable, caring, forgiving, than you are presently experiencing. Regardless of your past, regardless of your bad behaviors, when you do not consciously connect with Divine Oneness you will give your power to the fears and their resulting negative behaviors. This is the surprise that comes with being in Silence. You are led as to how to dismantle all your fears and how to feel the love available to you if you stop, breathe, open, and seek connection.

When you begin to do this or return to try again, seek Love. Simply, seek the feeling of being loved. Suspend all the self-perceptions which are in any way negative and imagine Love energy flowing in, around, and through you. You do this enough and you will begin to see the fears you are carrying and can then command them out of your energy field. Begin by seeking Love, the ability to breathe and the experience of releasing your tensions.

Everything that you fear about yourself is untrue! Every fear you have is simply energy that has run amok. You have to name those fears, cast them out of your field and more love, acceptance, kindness, and creativity replaces the fears. This is the secret to why so many people enter into Silence willingly. They have had the experience of feeling Love, Forgiveness, Grace, and Peace. You have to take the first step to look at the fears you have in a conscious Sacred Space. They are not you. They are energy that is running you.

Enter into Silence and call forth the sense of feeling Love. You can do this lying down, sitting up, walking in the woods or standing looking at beauty.  Keep trying to do this. Practice is required. I tried lots and lots of ways to feel flowing Love. When I began, I took no other agenda into the Silence with me except to feel Love. Try this. The Love available to you is infinite and will lead you to eventually look at your fears. Start with seeking the feeling of Love. You are loved.  The very fact that you are in body, indicates you are loved. You may not feel loved or lovable but with practice you will. All else will follow.

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

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.

The Value of Meditation

I occasionally do workshops to introduce folks to the value of meditation as a way to enter sacred space and set the stage for healing. Here are some links to resources that have been useful the participants.

Laura Shocker as the Huffington Post has done a great job of summarizing all of the research on the benefits of mediation in her post, “What Meditation Can Do For Your Mind, Body And Spirit.” If you need convincing, this information should do it.

he clinical staff at the Mayo Clinic has also done a recent summary of the basic health benefits of meditation called, “Meditation: A simple, fast way to reduce stress.”  As they conclude, “Meditation can wipe away the day’s stress, bringing with it inner peace. See how you can easily learn to practice meditation whenever you need it most.”

WORKING OUT with DIVINE PRESENCE

When we are on a conscious spiritual journey, sooner or later we spend time in Silence. But this is just the beginning of our potential journey.

In search of peace by Bindaas Madhavi

After Silence, we may need to spend time on imbalances in our field.  This can happen when our “quiet time” results in tough, yucky stuff appearing on the scene.   Thoughts and feelings which are out of balance, unpleasant, heavy or unprocessed do frequently show up.  Unsettling issues are a part of our dialogue with the Greater Whole.

This is the Divine Presence talking with us about what we need to focus on  to remain in balance. Unsettling feelings are not the result of being in Silence. They are the result of our seeking inner peace! When we go into Silence we are seeking peace, balance, wholeness and centeredness.  If we have unresolved issues with a co-worker, a spouse or a friend, we are likely to have them pop up after a period of sitting in Silence.  In fact, many people never go into the Silence for this very reason.  They are afraid that issues they do not want to look at will show up.

Guess what?  Unpleasant issues, thoughts and feelings are ALREADY in our energy field, draining us of our Light and life force energy!  They are already causing imbalance.  Just because we are not thinking about them, does not mean they go away.  In fact, because we are trying to “resist” them, they are even more demanding of our attention. The quickest way to resolve any unpleasant issue is to work in sacred space with our unresolved thoughts and feelings which are causing us stress or anger. 

Anyone want to join me at the beach for a good conversation? by Stuck in Customs

It is easy to say well “she should do this” or “he would be a whole lot happier if …”. However this will never bring resolution to an imbalance affecting us.  These responses are actually a  form of gossip and can perpetuate and expand the imbalance.  As long as we focus on what others could or should be doing, we miss the lesson for ourselves.  We are the ones who  have to take the steps to re-establish inner peace for ourselves. Then others sense a shift in us and they are also affected by our coming into greater balance.

Coming into balance and inner peace is our part of the partnership with All That Is.  No one else can do this work for us. The more we engage in this self-work,  the more expansive our inner peace becomes. It begins to permeate our entire being and all our affairs for the positive.  If this is hopeful or of interest to you,  keep seeking and you will find exactly what you are meant to discover.  There are infinite ways to undertake a work out process from Silence to release.   Here is one you might try and adapt for you own purposes.

WORKING OUT with DIVINE PRESENCE

When we notice charged feelings and thoughts, causing imbalances, one option is to work them out within a sacred space, through writing to Divine Presence and then letting the imbalances go.  Here are some steps towards that goal.

1.  Open a sacred space in which to work.  This gives us access to Divine wisdom, energy, love and support even when we are writing by ourselves. ( See Note A, for ideas of how to do this.)

2.  The letter

  • Get a journal solely for these writings and date each letter. Sign your name as you would in any letter.
  • Address the letter to Dear God/ Beloved Oneness/ Perfect Love/ Great I AM/  Mohamed/Mary/Jesus/Buddha/Saint Germain/Ascended Masters, etc.
  • Keep this journal in a safe place where you are sure no one will find it or read it.

3.  Explore the specific situation around which you have strong feelings which is causing you imbalance.

  • Begin by writing about your feelings.
  • Write as clearly as possible and with total honesty.
  • Include thoughts as well as feelings about the situation.
  • Write as much as you can until you feel really done.
  • Sign your letter each time you finish for the day

4.  Ask in the Silence what fears and blocked energy you are carrying which are manifesting as imbalanced energy specifically related to you journal topic.

  • Specify the fears and other blocked energy in the journal as notes after your letter.

5.  Go into a space of stillness and call for the sacred flame (within all of us) to consume all blocked energies you have identified which are causing turbulence and imbalance in your energy field from their originating source in this lifetime or from any previous life form you have taken.

  • If forgiveness comes to mind forgive self and others completely.

6.  Give thanks for the healing support and vibration clearing of your energy field.

7. Continue to write about this imbalance as long as it remains in your consciousness following this process each day you write about it.

  • Every time you enter into stillness for clearing, healing energy will consume the low vibrating thoughts and feelings separating you from Peace.
  • You are only responsible for your own feelings. If you change, others involved in your situation will be profoundly affected as well.
  • Take as much time on the issues as you need, knowing that your desire and intention for Inner Peace will be completely supported.

NOTE A:  Here is one way to open sacred space.  ” I call forth my Highest “I AM” Self , the Angelic Host, the Ascended Masters (Jesus/Krishna/Mary/Mohammed/ Moses/St. Ignatius/Buddha ,etc.), the Nature Intelligences, Cosmic Light Beings of the Universe, Divine Ancestors and Divine Physicians  to help me hold this sacred healing space.  I may then say, “Spirit of the Living God/Great Oneness /Divine Wholeness/Holy Spirit, come forth into this space dedicated to wholeness and balance.  My thanks.”
