prayer

The ‘I AM’ Presence is your unconditional connection with Divine Source/God/All That Is. Every person has this connection regardless of life circumstances. To activate that energy you have to claim that connection out loud for it to fully activate. Otherwise, you can spend you entire life missing out on working from your highest self.

Speak the following out loud.

• I call forth my ‘I AM’ Presence as I prepare to confront my daughter about her recent behaviors and grades.
• From my ‘I AM’ Presence, I bless the marriage of Johan and Moan, for their highest good to manifest.
• From the combined power of my ‘I AM’ Presence and God’s Glory, I command an honest, wise, collaborative, and people serving federal government manifest for this country.
• Through my ‘I AM’ Presence, I call forth the most perfect professional position for me at this time.
• With the power and determination of my I AM Presence, I command the deepest cleansing for rebalancing the Nation’s mind, body, and soul manifesting as systemic racism in the United States of America.

You are made in the image of God. You have seeds of God-ness all through you. You have to call forth the I AM power and energy for it to fully come alive in this dimension. Know and prepare for your negative feelings, discord, and negative thoughts to come to your surface as you begin to use this energy. By working with the I AM Energy, all that is not a part of this energy will show up for healing. If you ignore these issues, they will increase in severity without fail.

Doing your inner work is your side of the equation in your relationship with God. You can choose to go through life and ignore this inner work. However, as you are everlasting in spirit, you will have to address the imbalances, sooner or later. If you do it sooner, you will be free of those negative thoughts and feelings and their consequences sooner. However, it is your choice. You can take all the lifetimes you want to come to a place of doing inner work. However, the imbalances when ignored, grow bigger and bigger.

Every human is here potentially growing in the understanding of being created and sustained in Love. Regardless of what is around you, your core energy is Love. It could be covered over with fear, abuse, addiction, negative self-perceptions, arrogance, violence, or anger but at the core, all humans were created and sustained in Love. How to start?

Say these out loud. Hold the space for healing. Give thanks.

1. From my ‘I AM Presence’ I bring my feelings of ______________________ to this Sacred Space for healing and rebalancing. (shame, guilt, apathy, sorrow, fear, anger, desire, pride, arrogance, jealousy, self-hate, being a loser, etc.) Thank you for the healing.

2. With my ‘I AM’ Presence I call for clearing of the core reasons for my _________________________ that is no longer serving me or anyone else around me. (lying, cheating, embezzling, hatred, racism, competitiveness, mistreatment, violence, abuse, excessive drinking, addiction to ________, suspicion, etc. )Thank you for the healing.

3. Through my ‘I AM Presence’, I forgive wholly and completely ________________________ . ( myself, all those I have hurt, all my colleagues, my brother/mother/aunt/cousin/neighbor, etc. Thank you for the healing.

4. From my I AM Presence, I call forth Divine help and guidance for _______________________. ( my relationship, my next professional steps, my physical pain, my daughter’s job search, the future of my department, George/Janice/Shiela, the mess I have made of_____, etc. Thank you for the healing.

Work on any of the above issues for a few years and watch your life grow and change!! See my blog, found under Learn on the home page, at www.robbinshopkins.com and search with the words ‘I AM’ or ‘I am’ and see all the other posts on this subject.

Help me find enough love
to gift myself some slack

Help me see that I am
Enough every single day

Help me hold onto the sense
Of beauty surrounding me

Hold me close when I dive
Into my deep unending darkness

I fear at times I will
Forget the way out

I fear at times that I know not
What is truly good for me

Help me connect to Divine Love
When it sometimes feels like two ordinary words

Help me see love and kindness
In every direction regardless of swirling emotions

Bring me into a space of peace
When I cannot create it myself

Hold me in the Light
When I can only focus on the bitterness

Keep me safe from despair
And open to infinite grace

Be my partner in this life
When at times I feel alone

Heal my heart of continuing sadness
With gentleness and strength

Hold my hopes for delivery
Until I can manifest them myself

Grant me the next steps into the Light
I have been wallowing in darkness too long

We have so much need for prayer now especially as we work through this pandemic and all it means. I have found myself called to prayer several times a day some days. Amidst the Corona virus (Covid-19) pandemic, there is always something to pray for daily. The more of us who pray, the better our world will be. We are always heard and we can plug into a huge power house of Divine Beings waiting to work with us. I have gotten a lot of questions about how to pray effectively especially recently during this pandemic.

Effective Prayer

• Pray from your heart, not from fear
• Pray in partnership with Divine Beings, meaning OPEN SACRED SPACE to pray
• Pray from your RIGHT to be heard in that you are in physical body and that Right is given to each person
• Pray knowing that every time you pray it adds to the goodness of All That Is
• Pray knowing that the darkness manifesting is never stronger than the Light
• Pray with the awareness that in partnership with Divine Beings, miracles are possible
• Pray knowing we humans in body are the only ones to call the Light here, no others have that same job
• Pray knowing we have to call in the Light, as Divine Source has granted us absolute free will
• Pray knowing you are always heard

Others have asked me what global issues are being indicated for us to pray for. Here is a beginning list. Add you own issues!

Global Prayer Issues

• Divine transmutation of Corona virus to a harmless state
• Healing for all immune systems, secondary imbalances, and fear for those with Corona virus
• Clearing of all root sources of fear, anxiety, stress, suffering, and exhaustion due to Corona virus
• Clearing all root sources of anger, rage, abuse, and violence manifesting with Corona virus restrictions
• Alleviate world economic trauma and individual hardship due to Corona virus pandemic
• Healing for sorrow and loss for all those suffering among us due to Corona virus
• Divine inner healing and combustion for expanded consciousness for all
• Healing for Mother Earth in all her forms
• Root imbedded healing for institutional hatred and mistreatment for racial, ethnic, religious, sexual preference, and gender differences, etc.
• Root source healing for misogyny, hatred of LBGTQ persons, hatred of the “others”
• Root source healing for mistreatment of immigrants and refugees
• Clearing of root sources manifesting as obsession with getting and having money, greed and the economic divide
• Root source healing for abuse of; power, privilege and position trauma energy
• Root source healing for opioid addiction (alcohol, sexual, drug, gambling, hoarding, spending, etc.)
• Root source clearing for all forms of abuse (domestic, sexual, racial, religious, physical, mental, emotional, verbal, etc.)

Example

I open Sacred Space with the billions of Divine Beings surrounding our planet in this time of need. I ask for us to partner together for powerful healing to occur worldwide. I open my heart, mind, and soul to transformational Light within and surrounding us in the Universe. I call for healing to enable me to pray from a powerful place of love and goodness.

I call forth the Divine power and presence for all humans to clear all root sources of anger, rage, abuse, and violence manifesting especially now with Corona virus restrictions around the globe. Let all detox from this be completed in Divine space (quantum space, God space, etc.). My profound thanks for this healing work and all the Divine Beings working together with me for healing and wholeness.

May you and all your loved ones be safe and well. May we tap into the powerhouse of The Oneness and those billions of Divine Beings surrounding our globe to call forth the effective healing needed by all of us during this time of uncertainty, loss and illness.

There is a space beyond my mind and body where energy flows without hindrance. Where I am one with the Universe and we commune through energy alone. It is the energy of Love and Acceptance, the energy of Infinite Possibility and Grace. At times I have felt so connected, my body vibrates, totally alive with the recognition of Source Presence. This tells me I count. This tells me I am a person of substance. This reminds me that I am always seconds away from checking in and touching to Divine Energy.

I am not sure I could always live in that space. It is exhilarating and phenomenal. It moves me beyond body, thought, or encumbrances. It is all encompassing though eventually I am delivered back to this dimension, more peaceful and gentle, more centered and grounded. I marvel at these experiences. They come upon me when I least expect them. When I am seemingly just going about my business. They catch me like a practice in reverie, though without the thoughts and without anything of human substance. I am floating along in wholeness, existing in vibration.

These experiences remind me that I am more than my words, more than my convictions, more than this body. I am of the Oneness, eternal and always growing. I have a trajectory of being that eclipses all the negativity I have ever touched to. I cannot die and fade away into nothingness. No one really does that. I change states and keep on moving along. If I so choose, I can continue to explore pure Love, call it to myself, and keep setting down all that does not serve me. I can face my demons and amazingly, they leave me. I can create the Peace I seek. I am always connected to Love and Wholeness, regardless of the the ever present darkness, visible daily.

So I belong and I don’t belong. I belong to a world of ever changing possibility. I don’t belong to the woes, slings, and arrows that continue to challenge me to make a choice for Love. Those are the trail signs helping me to follow the Light. I do belong to seeking and wonder. I do belong to an inner knowing of integrity with self and others. I do not belong to the suffering of the world though I touch to it daily. It is my choice not to remain there. It is my choice to make another move towards clearing and balance, towards loving and forgiving, towards prayer and re-centering. I do belong to the vicissitudes of life though knowing they are informed by the blessings of a spiritual path evolving the formation of my human self.

Meditate! It is truly the best way you can take care of yourself. This does not take the place of exercise and healthy eating but it does expand your ability to cope, to feel at peace, to feel connected to Divine Wholeness, to figure out your feelings and address them and a myriad of other positive effects. In these bodies, at this time, meditating is essential to stay centered and positive. There is so much to be fearful of, so much to drain your energy, so much to worry about, and so much to knock you off kilter. Meditating allows you to recenter, to just be in the present moment and to breath fully. When you seek the Stillness and Silence, you will also become aware of what is bothering you, what you are afraid of, how you are not attending to yourself, and how you are being taken out by your unprocessed feelings about everything.

Why don’t you do it? I have heard every excuse in the book about why people don’t meditate. These reasons for not meditating keep growing until you try it. Until you really sit and be still, sit and be with your racing mind, or sit and seek connection. You may be afraid of what you will find within. You may feel that meditating does not immediately respond to the issues you are facing. You may feel that seeing one more friend or doing one more round on the track is more beneficial than being still. Whatever reasons you have for not meditating, they are not serving you well.

Meditation expands your sense of personal power, personal efficacy, personal integrity, and inner peace. Meditating supports all of the efforts you are making in the outer world as well. It enables you to determine what is affecting you in negative ways. Meditating is a self-loving act of the hugest proportions.

The racing mind is always there. When you meditate, you can learn to set down the racing mind and to breath in Silence. You learn that you are not alone when you meditate, you are connecting to the energy of Wholeness, Goodness and Eternal Connection. You are way more than your body and your life. You are literally here to learn how to Love more, yourself and others. All the rest is the staging that you are moving through for these learnings. The only lasting thing you will create in your life is Love. All else is transitory. Even a legacy, being remembered for who you were and what you accomplished is transitory. However, the Love you give and receive is lasting because that shapes your soul, your eternal energy, and your consciousness.

As we know from science, matter does not disappear, it changes form. We change between form and formlessness again and again in our eternal journeys. What we take with us is the ability to manifest LOVE! Meditation is an inner process to help you learn how to truly love yourself, others, and all that you are facing, even profound loss. You can persistently try to do this through focusing on your external life. It is much easier though to learn about loving self and others through an inner journey, even for extroverts, than to repeatedly make the same poor choices, to your repeated dismay.

Meditation is a learning process. You have the option of working through ineffective beliefs, reactions, and feelings without negatively affecting others and therefore yourself in real time. It is a win/win process.

The issue for many people is what to do with the feelings that come up in Silence. FACE THEM!! That is how you set them down and move on. Name the feelings and command them out of your energy field. Unless you already have a process you love that does that, use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol as a way to clear out unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and perceptions. Further, if you simply show up in meditation, open Sacred Space and sit, you will be led to the issues you most need to clear. The biggest boon is that as you show up, you get better at meditating. You will, with time, feel more peaceful. Keep showing up and trying this! You will also get more proficient in realizing where you are stuck and in clearing out blocked energies so that you can move more lightly through your day. Meditate!

All else will be given.

Woe engulfs my weary, broken heart
I hold a profoundly sickening sadness
I hear the calls of the forlorn, the mentally ill,
The outraged, the sick, and the hungry

My heart constricts in awe and shock
At the forcible separation of loved ones
At centuries old, repeating attacks from those who hate
At egregious sorrow over aggression, violence, and death

I literally feel ill at the repeating horror of rape
The numbing continuance of sexual abuse
The hiding of the darkness by all means
The lengths taken to save face for the perpetrators

Where is the presence of Love here?
Who is allowing this darkness agency?
Who is condoning the aggressors and the rapists?
When are we going to stand up and stop this madness?

Here I am, Lord, Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night
I will go, Lord, if you lead me
I will hold your people in my heart*

God of all, hear my prayers
Respond with power and mightiness
Cleanse all souls living in virulent hatred
Cleanse all genetic patterns of horrific atrocities
Teach us Love of self and “other” that we may heal

We are the ones to carry the Light
We are the ones to speak up
We are the ones to vote for the greater whole
We can be the best ones we were sent here to be

*This verse is from Here I am Lord by Daniel Schutte, 1981.

“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.

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.

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.

Who is Paramahansa Yogananda ( 1893-1952)? He is widely regarded as one of the preeminent spiritual figures of our time who draws on his own direct experience of God. He teaches us to seek and pray the way that saints, sages, and mystics have sought God over the centuries- the way that brings life transforming responses. He has introduced millions of readers to the enduring wisdom of the East through his life story in Autobiography of a Yogi.

Notes 1 & 2, Yogananda, Paramahansa, In the Sanctuary of the Soul, Los Angeles, CA., Self-Realization Fellowship, 1998.

When you don’t know exactly what is causing imbalance in the body or in your energy field, here are some ways to get the healing you seek. Remember, every time you call for healing using the Six-Step Healing Protocol, you are heard. You may not get the full results that you are seeking the first time you try, however. If you do not get the results you are seeking, it is not your fault or the fault of the process you are using. Something further still needs to be addressed for healing to happen.

Take for example, a persistent pain in your right hip where no cause of the pain is evident, though it has been hurting for several weeks. Something other than the hip itself is contributing to the imbalance. You may be conflicted over leaving your current job and that indecision and stress could be causing your hip to hurt. You could be angry with your friend and not moving forward with clearing that anger. That could be causing your hip to hurt. However, you may not be able to connect the dots between these feelings and thoughts you have and your hip hurting. You may simply be aware of the hurting hip.

Go to the Six-Step Healing Protocol and you will be led to clear for the specific types of blocked energies that could be causing the hip pain. These energies are listed in Step 4. For more practiced users, if you normally call for Divine Healing Protocol as a short cut, use the entire Six-Step Healing Protocol when you are not getting the results you need. There may be some area of this protocol that you are glossing over that is needed for full healing.

As you use the Six-Step Healing Protocol, you will be reminded of different types of blocked energies, specifically, emotional, mental, thermal, spiritual, hereditary line, karmic, curse, and spell energies. Any of these could be the cause of the hurting hip. Additionally, these types of blocked energies could also be contributing to the indecision with your job and unhealed anger with a friend. If you call for clearing of hurting hip trauma energy and all the symptoms, other areas such as job indecision and unhealed anger will also be addressed if connected to your hip imbalance. This happens even if you are not consciously aware of the relationship between your hip and other blocked energy.

If this level of healing does not bring the full balance you seek, you need to think again about what might be affecting you. Check for an infection or a virus that may be affecting the body part or area that is out of balance. When you use the Six-Step Healing Protocol, (Step 3) you can call for both virus and infection trauma energy affecting your hip and all other symptoms to clear, for example.

Still need something further? Another step might be to imagine how the imbalance in your hip could have happened. As you consider options, you can clear for one or more of these possibilities as follows. In Step 3 of the Protocol, you could clear for the skiing (yoga, running, bike or automobile accident, etc.) trauma energy and all symptoms manifesting as an aching hip. That will take you to the core issues of the problem whether this was recent or in the past.

Keep working on the situation with optimism if you do not get the full healing you seek the first, second, or third time. If you are working on your imbalance for the fourth time, try asking the Divine Beings in Sacred Space, “What am I missing that needs to be transformed for my hip to fully heal?” This is one for my favorite ways to get help about what I might be missing. The answer might come to you immediately or in the next couple of days through a thought, music lyrics, or even a comment made by a friend. Remain aware that you are seeking this answer. It will surface or simply make a guess and clear for additional possible blocked energy that may be affecting you. May balance find you!

We all have free will. You have full ownership of your free will and the right to express it in ways acceptable to you. You can live any way you want to, with any beliefs you hold, and any behaviors you want to exhibit. There are consequences to all choices you make, of course, some wonderful and some difficult. However, no one can take your free will away from you. You are the sole creator of your free will governing how you live.

However, what if you are experiencing repeated chronic illness, imbalance, failure, or heart break? What if the experiences of your life are not what you truly want? Could free will impact these areas? One usually tries to get help from friends, doctors, therapists, drugs, physical healing, different life partners, different work settings, different places to live, when there are chronic challenges. With enough repetition of undesirable patterns though, you eventually have to look within for an explanation as to what you might be doing or carrying to contribute to your undesirable situations.

Free will is something you create and therefore something you can change if you are aware of it. When chronic imbalances are present and perhaps expanding, there is often trauma energy connected to your free will. Free will trauma energy is a mindset you have that is not in Right Relationship with All That Is and is causing repeating trauma in your present life. Chronic imbalances are beckoning you to look inside and figure out what is not serving you. What free will energy are you carrying which is causing trauma over and over again in your present life?

Grace had chronic blame energy regarding her husband’s behavior. She was repeatedly blaming him for things that went wrong from travel plans to the performance of their cars. She would apologize most times when there was an outburst but the behavior persisted for years. Her husband was resentful of the constant blame and wanted a divorce and they divorced. In her second marriage, Grace’s blame energy persisted with her second husband. She was fearful of another divorce over her husband feeling constantly blamed. When she cleared for free will trauma energy manifesting as blame of her husband and others, Grace’s blame behavior stopped. She was able to completely heal from blaming others.

Free Will trauma energy keeps you from healing, changing, making good decisions, coming into balance, and feeling joyful. Why have you never heard of this? Free will trauma energy does not live in our conscious energy. It resides in the unconscious and supra-conscious (soul) levels and runs you from the background, day in and day out. If you feel insufficient, unlovable, or anxious repeatedly, you are probably carrying free will trauma energy causing these symptoms. Further, the feelings are stuck in an energy field unknown to you. In all likelihood you experienced these strong feelings in the past either in this lifetime or a previous one.The feelings or thoughts continue to cause havoc in your field until you recognize their presence and cast them out.

Here is a list of possible types of free will trauma energy manifesting in humans’ lives to get you started thinking about what possible free will trauma energy you may be carrying.

Free Will Trauma Energy manifesting as:

• inability to forgive oneself
• ego
• pain and suffering
• dislike of self
• distrust of Divine source
• taking on other’s pain and suffering
• inability to heal from any specific ailment( cancer, migraines, autoimmune diseases, alzheimer’s, infertility ,etc.),
• anxiety
• having insufficient time
• feeling unlovable
• feeling overwhelmed
• feeling insufficient
• judgement of others
• Self-punishment
• fear of those different from ourselves
• rage
• self-delusions
• insomnia
• blaming others
• inability to attract a good mate
• inability to give and receive sexual intimacy
• undeserving of goodness
• never doing enough
• feeling like a failure
• determined to have something manifest in a specific way no matter what

If you suspect one or more of these areas causing imbalances in your live, use the following. Use a pendulum (if proficient in this) to check if you are accurate in your intuition. Otherwise make an educated guess and clear anyway!

For beginning Six-Step Healing Protocol users

1. Use the Six-Step Healing Protocol for the following.
2. Use Free Will trauma energy manifesting as ___________ ( use one from the above list or name your own) for step 3 as the imbalance being addressed.
3. Give thanks for the help of those working with you.

When I learned to pray years ago as a teen, I just asked generally what I needed and that was it. Why does your process need specific identification? In other words, do I really need to figure out the specific wording? Isn’t this already known by Divine Source anyway?

This type of spiritual healing is brought about through your Partnering with Divine Beings of all types. So, in calling for healing for yourself or others you have to be clear on exactly what you are asking for. This all goes back to having Free Will. You have both your body and life as a human and you have a soul presence that is eternal. In that regard, you are both human and Divine. No being can impose a specific healing on you or fill in the blanks when you are not specific enough about what healing is needed.

You can generally call for the right solution to a problem to manifest and perhaps it will. However, the right solution for you may not be fully known by Divine Beings as you have Free Will and therefore you need to be a full part of that solution. So, you might say, “the right solution will have the following characteristics” and then list those. The more specific you are, the more likely you are to receive the exact healing needed.

When you ask for general healing, you have a greatly reduced chance of succeeding with that call than when you say, “I call forth healing for recurring migraine headaches and all trauma energies surrounding those”. Even more specifically, when using the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol, a range of potentially blocked energies is included that could be affecting one’s migraine headaches. This gives permission for the Divine Healing Entities working with you to address fundamental blocked energies that have contributed to the headaches, for example. Further, in the protocol, you are also calling for healing at all levels of your being, not only at the conscious level. You can be seriously affected by blocked energies at the sub-conscious, unconscious and supra-conscious level until those are completely cleared from your field.

(For more information see Chapter 7: Name the Imbalance and Command Out and Clear Blocked Energies in The Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol)
