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.

Moral Dilemma

It seemed like a smallish sort of lie
I did not mean for it to come out as it did
I spun a yarn while playing with fire
I spoke it aloud and now it resides between us

I feel a persistent heaviness in my heart
There is a tightness when I breath
This could grow, fester, and becoming putrid
And still I hesitate to set things to rest

My pride is raising its ugly head today
I despair at having to put this right
I am hoping this will all go far away
But it might hang on and be discovered

In truth, I really told a bold-faced lie
I think of it as small so I don’t feel so low
But I lied to her pure and simple
Because it suited me to do so

I protect a well defended outside shell
Thinking that makes me safe
Then I go and tell these little lies
And I know things aren’t any good at all

I don’t want to do what I know I should
I need to tell her I lied and why
But I am ashamed and feel too crummy
To really come clean and show my face

What would my friends think?
Who could possibly understand?
I don’t even know why I made up that lie
And then acted as if it were true

Maybe tomorrow this will all feel better
Maybe tomorrow we will forget this happened
Maybe I will think of some way to save face
Maybe I will find a way to bury the past

Perhaps she could forgive me
Or perhaps I could forgive me too
Perhaps I can make amends
Or perhaps we could move past this

Where is my good place?
Why can’t I let this all go?
Why can’t I just forget this ever happened?
Who is ever really going to know?

Integrity Clearing

If this rings any bells for you, you can do effective clearing for any lapse in integrity you hold at present or from the past. When you are out of integrity with yourself and others, not only can you suffer emotionally but you become disconnected on your end from the Whole, from Divine Source. Further, you may be totally unaware of places where you are carrying blocked energy that is affecting you in countless ways. You can carry old unconscious blocked energy about lying, stealing, blaming, or resenting, for example, and it can be causing you anxiety, insomnia, rage, or poor health in general as well as many other conditions. You may not be hearing clear guidance, or making poor decisions, or carrying guilt, rage, or depression, as well. Clearing up issues of integrity is worth focusing on.

Here are some of the areas where you may be carrying unhealed energy that is affecting your integrity. The following trauma energies may be causing untold imbalances in you mind, body or soul.

Trauma energies affecting one’s integrity:

Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Misrepresenting, Bullying, Blaming, Resenting, Stalking, Selling body services/mis-using my body, Buying body services/ Mis-using another’s body, Hurting another, Un-forgiveness, Hating, Punishing, Using excessive force, Abusing (others or substances), add any others you may be want to address.

Examples for Step 3 are given in bold below. For those beginning to work with the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol use all six step in the link indicated. This version shared below is for for more advanced practitioners who have experience with using all the steps of the protocol for many months.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for consciously punishing my brother trauma energy and all symptoms.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for cheating and lying with my first wife ( partner, husband, etc.) trauma energy and all symptoms.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for resenting the interference of my mother-in-law trauma energy and all symptoms when we had small children.

I call for Divine Healing Protocol for holding of un-forgiveness with my son trauma energy and all symptoms.

Keep working on areas where there may be blocked energies affecting your integrity. When you are cleared of these types of blocked energy, they will no longer show up in your life for healing.

We Are The Ones to Carry the Light

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.

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.

Healing When Feeling Down

When you are feeling down, it is helpful to act like a detective and seek the causes of your low energy. We often just ignore these symptoms and assume the low energy will pass and that it is probably temporary. However, the body talks to us daily. If we stop and listen to our body when we first feel tired or down, we can often get an intuitive knowing about the reasons for the low energy. The ignoring of the down feelings does not make them go away or enable us to truly move on.

If you use kinesiology or a pendulum, you can check specific issues causing the low energy. If you meditate, take the following issues into Silence and seek clarification for what is affecting your energy. Addressing these issues immediately can help you avoid serious repercussions from the low energy. Low energy is a real symptom and it is your body speaking to some imbalance in your system. Here is a list of the most common issues causing down, draggy, or tired energy.

Check your body first

Are you getting :
enough water
Vitamin D3, Vitamin C, iron, iodine and/or kelp
enough sleep
enough protein
enough fresh vegetables
enough time outdoors
enough down time

Are you:
in detox from healing
having an allergic reaction
having insomnia
coming down with a virus or infection
having a recurring pain affecting your energy
reacting to alcohol or drug consumption

Check your emotions

Are you having unresolved or disturbing issues:
with a person
with your body
at work
with unforgiveness, blame, shame, guilt, apathy, anger, fear, grief, pride, desire, etc.
in your dreams
with the way you spend your time
with your self perception
with an aspect of your life
with specific national/global issues

If a physical change can affect your energy, make that physical change immediately. If the issue cannot be directly impacted physically, use the Six-Step Spiritual Spiritual Healing Protocol to clear blocked energies causing you low energy. Then these imbalances will not build up affecting your immune system and possibly causing larger issues.

Example 1

Ramona was having low energy due to a situation at work. She cleared for “not receiving the recognition she felt she deserved at work” trauma energy and all symptoms including low energy.

Elizabeth was having disturbing dreams nightly. She cleared for “turmoil around her relationship with her mother trauma energy” and all symptoms including bad dreams.

Jordan was down about not making enough money to cover his expenses monthly. He cleared for “fear and worry about not being able to meet his monthly expenses” trauma energy and all symptoms including beating up on himself.

Paul was having second thoughts about remaining in the program of study he had chosen in college. He cleared for “having second thoughts about studying theater” trauma energy and all symptoms including having no energy and feeling confused.

Rob was having pain in his left thigh every time he tried to work out. He cleared for “left thigh pain and misalignment” trauma energy and all symptoms including feeling down.

In these situations and many others, when the offending issues were cleared, the energy changed for the better. Further, each person was able to move on from the cause of the low energy and their life took new directions. As long as your body is speaking to you about some imbalance such as low or down energy, you are being called to listen and make the needed changes. If you do not listen, you get louder and louder indications of imbalances in the body until you stop and try to figure out really what is causing the imbalance. Listen to your body. Assume you can affect the changes you want because you can. Use the Six-Step Spiritual Healing Protocol to respond to down or low levels of energy and any other issues you become aware of in the process of paying attention to your body.
