In the beginning, there was only love and light. It was a time of no thing. In those "days" there was no such thing as time or space. All was in a state of being. Then came the moment when the idea of "separation" occurred among the One. It was quite an event to consider "other" rather than "being." Permission was granted from Source for this Grand Experiment.
You also have the choice to try "other." In your true essence Self, you came from a state of pure love and being. Back many eons in your time, which in the spiritual realm is only a blink of an eye; your soul essence chose to be a part of this Grand Experiment.
Today you find yourself in the role that you have chosen to play. Many of you are gaining an understanding of this. Many of you are floundering around with little understanding of the perfection of your divine Self.
Each of you is evolving, coming closer to the full memory of who you are. No matter where any of you are in your evolution, it is likely you can still work at becoming a kinder, gentler and more loving individual.
Take a few moments to quiet your mind, letting loose any concerns of the day, whether you call this time introspection, meditation, prayer or another name. An important part of reaching deeper into yourself is through concentration on the intake and release of your breath. There are many methodologies on specific ways to breathe; all have their merit.
If you have studied a breathing method that is working well for you, then feel comfortable continuing to breathe in this manner. For those of you who have not studied specific breath meditations, we offer you a simple method. It is appropriately called "breathe in, breathe out" for that is all you do!
Retreat to a quiet space where it is least likely you will be disturbed. Being in nature is optimal; we highly recommend sitting against large trees. Sitting on your porch can be satisfactory, as well. Turn off all phones and electronic devices that will distract you. Get into a comfortable position. Allow your body to relax. Pay attention to your breathing. Take a deep breath in, hold it a moment, then let your breath out fully. Repeat this at least two more times. Once you feel your body starting to release tension, go into your normal breathing pattern.
Imagine pushing a button on the left side of your brain to temporarily shut off distracting thoughts and concerns. Focus completely on your breath. Whenever a thought comes into your head, ignore it and go back to focusing on your breath. Today, and any other time you wish to connect with your Higher Self and Spirit Guides, first begin with setting specific intentions of what you wish to experience. This is true whether you are going within for solace, guidance or to regain your composure.
Is there something new in your life that you would like to experience? Consider the multitude of possibilities that filter through your mind as you ponder this question. You are free to do this exercise anytime in your life, so don’t feel the pressure to choose the "right" one, for they all are accessible to you in any moment.
Perhaps there is an idea that has been coming into your consciousness lately that you haven’t taken time to pay full attention to. It can be as simple as trying a new product or as complex as changing a career. Perhaps you are ready to change a new habit or belief code that has kept you from experiencing full joy in your life.
Choose one thought and give it your full attention. Push away any distracting thoughts. Visualize yourself experiencing whatever it is you have chosen. Release any judgmental thoughts that might arise, such as "That is too expensive. I don’t know how to do that. It is impossible for me. Others would think I am crazy."
You have all been master masons, creating walls of fear and rejection. The goal in this exercise is to start taking apart those walls and exposing the true essence of light and love that you are. As you practice this exercise, you will have many opportunities to go within and shine a light on your inner shadows. There will come many "aha" moments when you "get it" until the moment when your light will be so bright that inner shadows will no longer exist.
The key to this exercise is to use all your senses while you are visualizing what it is you wish to experience. No matter what fears or judgments come up, stand firm with the knowledge that this is what you choose to experience at this time in your life. Begin to ask your inner Self for guidance on steps to take to achieve this goal. Ask for support and it will come to you in many ways. Push away thoughts that keep you from achieving this goal.
At times, it is good to practice anticipated situations that may keep you from reaching your goal. Role-play them in your mind. Your unconscious brain does not know the difference between reality and fantasy. How many times have you felt yourself experiencing emotions while you were watching a movie or reading a book? During those times, your brain waves were reacting as though it were reality.
One way to push through fears is to imagine yourself in the scenario that you wish to experience, or a fear you choose to face and overcome. With your imagination, you can practice overcoming any fears or anxieties. Incorporate the use of your senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. For deep phobias, this may be very difficult in the beginning. Ask your Spirit Guides to be with you and support you. Know that you are the master of your thoughts and experiences. You can choose whatever you wish; you have the power within your being.
We encourage you to explore any avenues of possible solutions to changes you wish to make in your life. No one walks the same path; there are myriads of opportunities and ways to overcome fears and to experience joy. The only thing limiting you is your self, your judgmental mind and your fears. You can overcome anything and live a life of uncontrolled mirth and joy! Let your light shine as brightly as it once did in the Old Beginning!
Know this is possible and dream big!
