This
is a message about love and healing – but mostly about love, for without love
true healing is impossible.
Healing
is the re-membering of your own wholeness.
It is the perfect realignment of body, mind, emotions and spirit.
You can realize your full potential as a being expressing through a
physical form. You can live free
from diseases, worry, and all other obstacles to the enjoyment of your life.
You can activate your inner healing power to bring you the health and
happiness you long for.
Who
You Are
You
are not who you seem to be. You
have a body composed of blood, skin, bone, sinew, and internal organs – but
you are much more than that. Your
physical body is a projection of a much bigger you that comes from a place of
spirit. You exist first in spirit,
or Source.
You
have come to this earth, at this time, to experience who you are. From spirit you project your energy through a physical form
to learn what it feels like to occupy and direct an organism composed of
relatively dense matter. You have, it
seems, separated a part of your energy from the rest of you in order to have
this experience. It was your plan
to gain greater appreciation of your own wholeness by viewing it from a place of
separation – just as you have a greater appreciation for food after having
experienced hunger.
In
expressing yourself through the denser medium of a physical body, there is a
strong temptation to believe that the physical you is all there is.
Not so. The physical you is
but the last, outward manifestation of the spiritual you who exists in complete
union with all that is. Your apparent separation is really an individuation of
Source. You are Life itself.
All
of the suffering you have ever had has been because you felt disconnected in
some way – from yourself, from others, from Source, or from life in general.
Yet, you have never truly been disconnected or cut off.
You have been living an illusion as if it were real.
The more energy you gave to this illusion, the more powerful it became in
creating hardship and frustration.
To
be separate and to be disconnected are not the same.
You are no more disconnected from Source than your foot is disconnected
from the rest of your body – or than a branch is disconnected from the rest of
the tree.
Each
day you create your own experience of reality according to how you perceive it.
You have been given the free will to choose your own conscious
understanding. To the extent you
choose to believe the illusion of disconnection, you will experience fear,
rejection and suffering. To the
extent that you choose to see your connection to all that is, you will
experience love, joy and peace. This
is one meaning of the phrase, “you reap what you sow”.
Your
thoughts create your experience of reality.
You
are spirit manifesting in a physical form.
If your life is not the way you wish it to be, then discover how to open
yourself to embrace more of your spiritual energy.
May
you experience the fullness of Life in all that you do.
This blessing can be yours, to the extent you choose it.
Be
Who You Are
You were created by Life and you are Life itself.
And Life can express fully through you, in every moment – if you choose
to let it do so.
You
are uniquely yourself. All of your
thoughts, words and deeds are unique expressions of Life, although you are not
always aware of them as being so.
You
can be more of who you are by allowing your deepest feelings to come to the
surface, to acknowledge and express them – without judgment or condition of
any kind. This is the way Life
loves you – exactly as you are. Love yourself
in that same way.
You
never had a feeling that was wrong or bad.
All of your feelings are part of your nature as a human being.
They are neither good nor bad. They
just are.
Whenever
you deny a feeling, stifle it, ignore it or try to change it into something
else, you cut yourself off from yourself. You
make a part of your own nature inaccessible.
You create a barrier to experiencing fully who you are.
This barrier restricts the flow of Life that is you and would come
through you. All you need to do to
experience more of your own essence is to let go of the barrier.
Get to know yourself as you are. Allow
what is already there to flow freely.
You
have often judged yourself. You
have considered things that you have thought, felt or done to be bad, unworthy,
or cause for shame. These judgments
have limited your actions and expression, have stirred up emotions of guilt and
inadequacy, and have prevented you from experiencing your full self.
You
have a body that yearns for activity, emotions that yearn to be experienced, a
mind that yearns to understand, and a spirit that yearns to be expressed in
fullness through your body, emotions and mind.
Listen to each of these aspects of your nature and allow each its full
place – without ignoring any one of them – without sacrificing one for the
sake of another. Especially, let go
of who you think you are (or who you think you should be) and allow yourself to
feel who you really are.
You
are Energy
The way in which spirit activates your body is through a network of
multidimensional, interrelated energy systems.
Your body may appear to be solid substance, yet it is energy. That which we call matter is really energy of a slower
moving, denser vibration that the lighter energies that are invisible to the
human eye. As physics teaches,
matter is one expression of energy and is related according to the equation, E =
mc2.
You
are truly a being of energy, completely one and unified.
Your spirit, which is of a very high vibrational frequency, extends
itself into progressively lower energetic frequencies until it ultimately
manifests the physical form through which you experience on this, the earth
plane. Your body is thus the
furthermost extension and expression of your spirit.
You
Create Your Own Experience
The energy that flows to you and through you is Life itself – as it comes to
and through all others and all forms of existence everywhere.
We
are all one in spirit, regardless of the individual form each of us may
take.
You
do not always experience the oneness that is yours, however.
That is because you have the freedom
to choose your own thoughts, beliefs and reactions.
You are not able to change your true essence, but you can resist its
natural flow. By so doing you are
unaware of that which is and believe that it is not.
What
you believe becomes true for you. Once
you create or accept a thought as your own, it directs you accordingly.
It has the power to affect your emotional and bodily responses, as well
as to shift your mental focus into or away from a particular direction.
If, for example, you do not believe that you are entitled to what you
want in life, you will not be motivated to go after it.
Each letdown you experience reinforces your feelings of futility and
hopelessness. Although there may be
pain and frustration, there will also be comfort and predictability in knowing
your world is consistent with the way you see it. If, on the other hand, you believe that you can get what you
want if you go after it, you will assert yourself even in the face of adversity.
Each letdown you encounter only gives you more resolve to find what
works.
Others
tend to support you in your beliefs. You
feel good about those who share your ideas.
It feels good to be with them and to reinforce each others’ view of
life. Also, others may share with
you only those ideas to which you are receptive, keeping conflicting ones hidden
from you. Others reflect back to
you that which you wish to see.
No
matter what belief you hold, you will draw evidence to support it. Each thought has an energy frequency of its own – and a
physiological response in the body. By
means of energetic resonance, like thoughts attract like thoughts.
You are thus the creator of your own experience of the universe.
Ultimately you decide, consciously or by default, what you do and how
things affect you. Whatever you
decide, the universe supports you in that choice by giving you feedback
consistent with it.
Every
experience assists you in some way. None
is truly wasted. Everything you
have ever done has taken you to where you are now and has helped you reach the
level of awareness you now have. Even
the pain and suffering you felt along the way has helped you to see things more
clearly and to resolve to make different choices in future.
You
live in a world of polarities or opposites – night and day, hot and cold, male
and female, health and sickness, love and fear, joy and suffering, wealth and
poverty, and so on. You came here
to experience those differences. You
can choose to learn from one side of the coin or the other, so to speak.
There is no judgment here. If
you have been in a rut for a very long time, you know everything there is to
know about that rut. You may know
it so well that you need never return to it, should you decide to leave it.
And whether you stay in that rut or not, Life loves you exactly as you
are. The challenge is for you to
love yourself in the same way!
Being
the creator of your own experience gives you the power to make change whenever
you are ready. It does not matter
how long you have held a particular belief and its associated patterns, you can
let go of it whenever you wish. At
any time you can open your awareness to more of your true Self.
Create
a New Experience
To change any aspect of your life is as easy (and as difficult) as changing the
belief that created it. The beliefs
that have served you well to this point have been given life through years of
practice and reinforcement. They
have been powerful agents in creating your present life situation. To change them takes courage, patience and self-love – and
the knowledge that change is possible.
It
helps to look at specific beliefs as either accepting or resisting. The more you accept things as they are, the more you open
yourself to the Life that is yours. The
more you resist what is, the more you diminish your personal power and lessen
your opportunity to create whatever you wish.
Acceptance
means recognizing and embracing the fact that things are the way they are in any
particular moment and in that moment couldn’t be otherwise.
It does not mean consenting to anything with which you do not agree.
Nor does acceptance of anything imply that you cannot change it.
In fact, the opposite is true. It
is only when we accept what is that we are able to see with clarity what it is
that we wish to change. “Whatever
we accept we move beyond; whatever we resist we stay stuck in.” (Eckhart
Tolle)
Resistance
takes many forms, all of which involve some form of denial. Not expressing a feeling that is there, trying not to think
about something, wishing things were
not so, refusing to look at certain issues, not being honest with yourself about
your true feelings, accepting less than you really want, sacrificing what is
important to you for the sake of someone else – all of these are forms of
denial. All of these restrict the
flow of your own energy and prevent you from experiencing more of who You truly
are.
Sometimes
denial comes in clever disguises. The
“power of positive thinking” is one. Ignoring
the “negative” in your life and dwelling on the “positive” is a
prescription for denying very real thoughts, feelings and issues. It is a way of attempting to hide what you don’t like.
Its effect is to cut you off from a very important part of yourself.
Nothing is in itself either good or bad.
It is only your interpretation that makes it so.
Everything just is. When
life give you lemons you can make lemonade – but first you have to realize
that you have lemons.
Stubbornness,
for example, can be seen as a “bad” quality when someone uses it to prevent
you from getting what you want – or it can be seen as a “good” quality
when you use it to defend a cause in which you strongly believe. Stubbornness itself is neutral.
It just is.
It
is tempting to try to restrict emotions that you experience as negative or
threatening. Your emotions,
however, have a life of their own. Stifling
their natural expression does not obliterate them; it simply causes them to
express in different ways. Fear
that is held back can come out in the form of guilt, anger, anxiety, or apathy. Anger that is stifled can manifest as resentment, criticism,
or hatred. Grief that is blocked
can turn into depression. And all
stifled emotions can create physical diseases.
The
only way to truly contain an emotion is to give it all the room it needs.
Your emotions and feelings give you important feedback about your life.
Those that are thwarted or blocked continue to beg for your attention,
one way or another, until you get the message.
Emotions can seek their own level only if they are accepted, embraced and
then released.
That
which you resist has power over you. The
more you try to hold back a part of yourself, the more effort and energy you
expend in maintaining the barricade – and the more vigilant you need to be to
keep the issue from surfacing in other ways.
It becomes difficult to relax and be yourself, because being yourself is
what your blocks are striving so hard to prevent.
When you come to the place of accepting everything as it is, then nothing
can hold power over you or block or drain your energy.
You will then be able to experience yourself and all of life from a place
of wholeness.
In
your pain, hardship or disease, look for the message that is trying to be heard.
Instead
of resisting the experience, see what you can learn from it.
Let it guide you to a new understanding of yourself. Let
your suffering tell you if changes are needed in your life.
How
You Restrict Your Energy
Every time you resist a part of yourself, you create a block or restriction in
your energy field. To acquire many
blocks over a lifetime is part of the human process.
It is as natural as breathing, sleeping or eating.
All of your blocks serve you in some way.
You have chosen them to screen out influences that you perceive as
threatening, to limit your attention to those issues you are ready to deal with,
and to maintain comfort and predictability in your life.
You
first create a block in your energy field, then the consequences of it
eventually follow to the cellular level of the body.
Each block restricts the natural flow of energy.
Where it is placed in your energy field determines how much of your
functioning it can ultimately affect.
You
may, for example, place blocks in your meridians in an attempt to protect parts
of your body that have been traumatized by physical injury or which are
perceived as being vulnerable in some way.
Tissues that do not receive all of the energy they require, however, do
not thrive as well as they otherwise could.
They may heal very slowly, they may not receive all of the nutrients they
require, and they may not be able to dispose of their waste products
efficiently.
Blocks
intended to protect the physical body are often motivated by blocks at higher
levels of the energy field, such as the emotional layer of the aura.
For example, blocks related to emotional issues, such as fear of pain,
may have prompted the perceived need to create further blocks at bodily tissue
levels. The ironic consequence is
that tissues that is blocked is more vulnerable to injury and pain – exactly
that which was feared in the first place. Through your blocks, you actually
draw to yourself that which you fear.
Like attracts like.
You
could also have blocks concerning mental issues, such as refusing to consider
ideas that conflict with your own – which, in turn, can be motivated by
blocked emotional issues, such as fear of being wrong or fear of being rejected.
Blocks
created anywhere in your energy field can affect any level of body, mind,
emotions and spirit. For example,
not feeling worthy can motivate you to block emotional issues, such as fear of
disapproval, fear of being wrong, guilt, fear of being punished, fear of not
being loved, and so on – which, in turn, can lead you to limit what you
believe you are capable of and entitled to – and can affect your ability to
ward off disease and accidents.
Since
all aspects of your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual life are connected
and related, you do not build single blocks.
Rather, one block leads to another, and then others, and even more – in
an attempt to confine the issues wherever it may arise.
When
you realize that your energy comes from your spirit through your mind and
emotions until it reaches your physical body, you will see that your blocks have
a hierarchical structure. Those at
higher levels affect the levels below. Discomfort,
pain or disease of your physical body is the direct or indirect result of blocks
chosen at mental/emotional levels – that, in turn, are the result of blocking
the expression of your spirit in some way.
The
higher the level you can reach in uncovering the blocks that have created any
condition you wish to change, the more significant and permanent changes you can
make. Making change only at the
physical level may provide relief from symptoms but does not go directly to the
cause. Many have cured an ailment
only to have it or another appear again. That
is because they have done nothing to change the deeper, spiritual issues that
are ultimately the true cause.
The
highest level blocks that eventually filter down and influence every level and
layer are those that limit your spiritual connection to Source. Chief among
these are the issues of knowing self, loving self, loving others, and being
loved. If you wish to make lasting
change in your life, then go to the source.
Let your pain and suffering point the way.
Increasing
Awareness
In what you call your conscious state you are aware of only a small portion of
what is happening with your spirit. Your
spirit is much larger than you know, and is always fully a part of Source.
Your
spirit is actually a holographic projection of Life itself, in complete
perfection. In expressing through
the denser vibrations of your physical form and personality, you lose awareness
of the magnificence of the complete you. This
is both a necessary condition of being human and how you have chosen to
experience Life.
Your
openness or resistance to spirit is not a fixed condition.
At any time you have the ability either to increase your awareness or to
build further resistance to the fuller you.
If you decide to release the barriers that limit your awareness, then
each one you let go brings you closer to know your complete self in all of its
magnificence. You can choose a path
of remembering who you are.
