What is Spiritual Healing?

This is true for all beings. Spiritual healing can transform the misperceptions you carry and the blocked energies that affect your life. When you feel unworthy of being loved or lost regarding next steps in your life, spiritual healing can help you. Spiritual healing works on how you feel about yourself and others, from the inside out. Therefore looking inside, listening, being in Silence, brings these issues to your awareness. Spiritual healing encourages you to connect with the Divine Source within and around you for clarity, support, guidance, and for the healing of stuck energy. If you command out specific blocked energies that are causing specific problems, you will see positive changes.

Spiritual healing differs from other forms of healing in that the work is always carried out in a consciously sacred environment, one you can set up to suit yourself. Therefore, when you call in Divine Source/God/The Great I AM, you will be working in partnership with Divine Energy. This is a universal truth not just true for a few. All human beings can cultivate a special connection with God. All of you are wired for Divine connection. You are by virtue of being in body, already connected with Divine Source. You have to be the one to activate this connection though. Otherwise, the connection remains dormant. It is never withdrawn, it simply waits for you to activate it. It is not a given that you will knowingly connect with Divine Source unless you make it happen. You can choose to live your life with a robust conscious connection with the Oneness/All That Is or choose to live with no conscious connection the Great Spirit at all.

Some people choose not to activate a conscious relationship with God. They feel there is no Divine Source and that there is nothing beyond this physical lifetime. Others feel that believing in something you can’t see is foolish. There are tons of reasons for not believing in God. Mostly, however, those are based on inaccurate human definitions of an all powerful God who controls absolutely everything. When you look around, there are millions of things happening daily that point to seeming reasons for believing there is no God or at least one not available to you. However, all those incidents, conditions, or imbalances are the results of individuals who are not plugged into God energy. Divine Energy works through you and when you are not open to it, your energy can get channeled into actions, issues, and deeds that are not of the Light. Activate a relationship with Divine Source today!

God energy is within, as well as throughout the Universe. Everything about you is wired for connection to your higher self, to your soul, and to the partnership with Divine Oneness. This Divine connection is like having faith that you have insides to your body. You can’t see those insides, though you feel their presence acutely when things go haywire. You get told that there are arteries and veins, tissues and bones inside your body casing. You mostly believe this even though very few people have seen the inner workings. You know there is something inside of you that needs attention and care.

God’s energy is like that. You can go along as disconnected as you choose, and suddenly, one day, you have an awakening to something larger than daily life and bodies. Something brings profound changes to your life. You may be one of those to get a switched on Light experience. However, waiting for that to happen can be a long wait.

I entreat you to consider asking for help to connect with Divine Source energy today. Make the choice to explore the possibility that there is something not only beyond what you can see but eternally present with you. This is a leap of faith, but it is one that will enrich every aspect of your life. Go inside and face the skepticism, the fear of being more than what you see, and call forth the opportunity to grow peace of mind. Also, keep doing this regardless of the nay saying in your mind. Keep showing up and asking for connection.

The main reason to seek Divine connection is that is how you cultivate peace of mind. All the misperceptions you carry about yourself, all the anger and obsessions you feel towards yourself and others, all the discontent you feel with parts of your life are all indications that seeking within is waiting. The mind will run us if we do not actively counter the darkness we carry within. Every single step you take to address that which is out of balance will expand your consciousness and bring you closer to inner peace, health, and well being. Try it over and over again, without giving up. This is the most important step you can take in your life. No institution, pathway, or specific teachings are needed do this. Just simply begin. All you need will be given as long as you continue to show up. This is the first step to spiritual healing. The rest will be given for eternity.

Meditate!

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.

Where is God ?

God is within you because you are the creation of Divine Source. You can’t really be separated from that Divine energy but you can actively diminish your ability to receive Divine support and clarity. Perhaps you have never had a Divine moment that you know of. Perhaps you like your life that way. You can go along for lifetimes without consciously activating your spiritual self, your connection with God/All That Is/Divine Source. The colors of your pallet however are likely to be muted in various ways. This is because existing only in the realm of human awareness is a limiting perspective on what you are doing here. When you narrow your focus to the externalities of life, you become increasingly consumed by human endeavors and the Divine Light and Love gets completely lost.

If you are at all curious about Divine energy, begin now to learn about this dimension of life. Ask for a Divine course to unfold for you so that you can grow in the conscious knowing of God/Spirit/Perfected Love. Do this any day of your entire life and it will be given. Spend time in Silence to determine what you need to let go of. This is a different way to live. Knowing Divine Light, Love, and Connection is like adding color to a washed out landscape. It is like adding music to your day. It adds a huge portion of love to everything you touch. It is transformational and it is available to all people. However, you have to begin the activating, seeking, and exploration of this for yourself.

One active myth is that you have to be “a good person” to know God. If you feel you have made too many unforgivable mistakes, are not worthy of a connection with Divine Energy or just feel too negative about life, you may have mentally closed the door to Spirit/God/The Oneness. Then you make no effort to check out this Divine part of yourself. Here’s the truth though. One major reason to check out Divine Presence is to begin to heal all negative perceptions you hold of yourself. If you have messed up again and again, the EXACT place to address this is in Sacred Space with Divine Oneness. In Sacred Space, you can call for forgiveness, receive that forgiveness, completely set down your issues in the past, and make new choices. Truly, you get all the chances you need to make changes. The slate gets wiped clean because you call that energy for yourself.

You are nudged towards Divine connection through repeated unpleasant circumstances. Recurring physical pain, recurring failed relationships, recurring work trauma, addiction, chronic illness, and recurring acts of anger, etc. are all ways that you are being invited to go within. When you go within, the Silence and stillness enables you to figure out where you most need to focus, what needs healing and how to proceed.

By far, the biggest myth carried by humans is that God should make everything work perfectly otherwise there is no reason to believe in God. The reason to believe in God energy is that you are God energy in form and action. You are God personified and you get better and better at knowing that Divine energy, being that Love energy, and spreading it in the world. You are already wired for God because you are in body. You get as many chances as you need to activate this energy in the Earth dimension. So begin now wherever you are. Begin the search (or deepen the one you have) for your own connection with God. Go within and seek that two way connection. It will manifest in tangible ways and that energy will lead you to clear all your blocked energies of any kind to expand your conscious knowing of The Oneness/All That Is/God/The Beloved. Use the Six Step Healing Protocol to get you started. Keep doing the work. Keep showing up in Silence, no matter what. Keep seeking and you will find you way ahead.

The Other

My heart aches and hurts
The hatred of the Other is just everywhere
In hearts, in words, in news, across the globe
In the fabric of the past
In the trajectory of the future

I so need a respite from hatred of the Other
From the darkness of the fear around me
From the active hatred of those who are seemingly different
From the unexamined actions of the fearful
From the harmful experiences of one against another

We are from the same cloth, the same Light, the same Oneness
But bitter darkness comes from within you
It is externally aimed but inwardly cultivated
The we-ness and the they-ness continually fed
A well worn path of judgement, costing all in body

Seek within, seek the Light, seek Forgiveness
Seek to clear the anger, the fear, and the pride
Consuming you and all you come into contact with
This is not your true self
Only a step along your eternal path

This too shall pass if you make it so
Profoundly enter Silence, be Kindness, hold Peace
These paths lead to healing
Lead to release from fear and terror
Lead to another way to move forward

There is really, truly, no Other
Their seeming presence is for our learning
We get to learn these lessons
Lifetime after lifetime
Varied circumstances, same lessons

We come here to heal the we-ness, they-ness
Take this up with yourself
Stop the madness around you
Seek Peace and Forgiveness
Begin to love yourself within and loving the Other will follow

Guardian Angel Dialogue

It feels immature to believe in guardian angels
As if I need some kind of safety net that I can’t even see
Like I am not capable of living my life with my own resources
As if I am so deeply unsure of myself that my story includes a guardian angel

No, our presence is not about your lack
It is about your brilliance and your loving center
We hold the space with your soul for expansion
For your peace, health, and wholeness

Even if you do not ask us to help you
We are with you all the time
We are always waiting for a call from you
For whenever you would like help on anything

But if I can’t see you, how can I believe you are there?
I don’t relish believing in something that is made-up
Like Santa Claus or fairies or Easter bunnies
That is all so much nonsense!

I don’t really even believe in God
Not that I tell anyone that
But there is too much pain here
For there to be a God

Ah, but that is why you are in body
To learn the difference between human and Divine energy
To choose to listen to the Knowing within
To learn about your connection with God

With that listening, each will heal from
All heartache and suffering,
All illness and pain

All pain and suffering is humanly created
That is the state of those separated from Divine Source
Seek within, you will find a path to peace and serenity,
Health, wholeness, forgiveness, and balance

I do not know of these things
They concern me and seem very foreign to my life
What if I find a dark version of myself inside
What then?

You have all the chances you need to do this inner seeking
You can do it now, you can do this later
Eventually you will do to this work, one way or another
Seeking within though, is the most direct path to wholeness

The hardship you feel is every bit about being separated from Divine Energy
You live in body and think that is All There Is
That is only a tiny portion of who you are
Your present time is just as it is, so you can heal and expand your knowing

This is the real blessing of being in body
Seize the chance this lifetime gives you
You will never regret a single decision
Made in the context of seeking more peace and wholeness

Truths confirmed by Divine Knowing about Guardian Angels

Guardian Angels can change over time. The change is determined by the issues you are working with and is connected to your level of consciousness and your level of knowing of Oneness.
You must ask for the help you seek, even of Guardian Angels.
All requests are heard and responded to with the most appropriate energy for your soul’s learning.
The primary purpose of your Guardian Angel is to see that you accomplish your life’s purpose. So sometimes, what you think you need is seen differently by your Guardian Angel.
Anything you ask for your soul’s expansion is given but sometimes not in the time frame you expect nor in the way you expect it to be given.
