Do You Need a Prescription of Meditation For Healing?

Do You Need a Prescription of
Meditation For Healing?

Meditation Tonic by Genevieve Gerard

This is part of my on-going series on healing.

Today’s post is a little different than most of my posts. I want to have you explore with me the concept of a Custom Guided Prescriptive Meditation that I have been using with clients one to one.

Throughout the history of meditation, spiritual teachers have recommended a regular practice of meditation.  That frequency is usually once a day or even twice a day.

In all of the stress and challenges of modern life, many people say they don’t have time to meditate.  When people say that to me, I am reminded of the quote:

Meditate daily, but if you think you don’t have time
then meditate twice a day.

I have found that meditation is a practice that can transform your life, heal you, and bring you peace of mind and deep joy, however; it only works if you actually meditate.

To make things more difficult, there are in the world a vast number of styles and techniques of meditation.

Over the 50+ years that I have meditated, I have used many different styles and techniques.  I share a lot of those different ways of meditating in a workshop I call “How To… Why To… Meditate.”

Although there are many ways to meditate, I have recently realized that many people attracted to meditation, especially as it has become popularized in the media, not only do not know how to meditate, they do not understand WHY to meditate.

Meditation is more than just sitting quietly.  Although I would dare say, just stopping and sitting quietly would be a benefit in many lives, meditation is an art founded on the science of the evolution of your consciousness.

Meditation is the portal to your Higher Self, your Soul.  It is your Soul that has the power to heal your life on all levels; physically from the most devastating “dis-eases,” emotionally from the most painful and devastating losses; and it is your Soul that aligns and inspires you with Divine Light and embraces you with Divine Love.
      – Genevieve Gerard

Meditation Can Be Life Changing

I now believe, along with others, with all of my heartthat meditation is an essential element for the evolution of your consciousness.

Meditation is a vital practice to access
conscious contact with your highest self.
      – Wayne Dyer

To not take advantage of the time you may set aside to meditate for that purpose is to minimize the life-changing benefits meditation can have.

And what is amazing and gratifying is that you can experience the benefits of meditating immediately in your life with this regular practice.

That has, in my long experience, been true with a variety of techniques and meditative tools, but when you use meditation to address a particular purposeyour ability to transform your consciousness and health is enhanced.

When that purpose is to relieve stress or limit your experiences of dis-stress, it is especially useful.

Meditation can be used to resolve a myriad of life problems.  I know because I have seen it over and over again. Just look at this Harvard article on mindfulness meditation that has shown the powerful health benefits of meditating.

When you meditate, you are raising the vibratory frequency of your physical body and lowering your standing pulse rate.  That effect may be experienced as profound relaxation.

The sense of relaxation, bliss, and clarity is a common experience.  That alone is a worthy reason to meditate.  Modern medical research shows the health benefits of the relaxation response in meditation.  That single advantage alone provides a significant reason to meditate.

However, meditation can have a more profound impact on your life.  It can help you transform the frequency of specific energies that may have become over-active, or overemphasized especially with your emotions.

Shifting the frequency of your emotional body is a dynamic part of learning to transcend, transform, and transmute your fears and have a powerful impact on your success in all areas of your life.  It is one of the most life-transforming benefits of meditation.

Learning to quiet your mind and master your thoughtscalming what the Buddha referred to as the monkey mind opens your life to greater awareness of the power of your mind as a co-creator in your life.

Meditation focused on improving the power of your mind can alter your life.  Harnessing the dynamic power of your thoughts is a direct result of meditation and has been taught by many thought leaders, motivational teachers, and business coaches.

Meditation can still the emotional turmoil that leads to so much dis-ease and distress in life.  It is a healing power that you can activate in your life that has transforming and dramatic implications on what and how you experience.

Meditation also has physiologic effects that can relieve stress and impact the myriad of illnesses that are the result of dis-stress. Healthy living incorporates meditation.  By meditating you learn the science behind energy transformation.  You can then apply that science to transform any problem area you identify.

In addition to all of these positive aspects of meditation, you can use meditation to expand and increase your spiritual wisdom and integrate your Soul or Higher Self into more of your life if you like.

Perhaps the most dramatic and dynamic advantage to meditation is that through meditation you can align with and access the healing power of your Soul.

Over the many years of my working as a counselor, healer, and life coach I have facilitated people using this healing power of their Soul through creating customized Guided Prescriptive Meditations to activate this healing power of the Soul to address healing in life-threatening dis-eases.

This creation of Prescriptive Meditation is an outgrowth of profoundly individual work.  I offer this healing service worldwide through the technology of Skype or as an adjunct to personal energetic healing sessions one-on-one.

This personalized prescriptive approach to energetic healing provides you, after the end of each one to one session, with a custom highly specialized downloadable guided meditation that works as a medication to what ails you.

This custom healing meditation is created so that you can use it daily until your next scheduled customized healing session.

Each session is unique and builds on the previous session and creates a custom prescription for where you are at and the issues you are dealing with at that exact moment in time.

I have found that this intensely personalized work can be productive with life guidance or life-threatening illnesses, often minimizing the adverse side effects of traditional medical treatment.

The prescriptive meditation treatment can realign your system to work for you by identifying the ways your body, emotion, mind, and Soul have gone out of balance.  Bringing these diverse parts of the wholeness of your being into proper alignment allows natural and gradual healing to take place on multiple levels.

So often the medical approach to dis-ease are medications that are expensive, exotic and have dire side effects, which is why reducing symptoms can also be a primary goal of this meditation method.

Reducing symptoms then may lead to reducing the amount of medication you may require.

How Can Prescriptive Meditations Work?

Prescriptive meditations can work with and alongside not only the traditional medical professional but also all allied health professionals.

Using meditation to heal your life involves healing the issues on both atomic and often even sub-atomic levels.  It is using the science of meditation to adjust and transform energy into a subtle balance and positive coefficient.

This use of meditation can allow spirit to impact matter, powerfully.  However, as I mentioned in the beginning, it requires discipline and regularity.  To transform the substance of matter requires working within several universal laws and principles that govern life that involve principles of Physics and mostly Quantum Physics that the world of science has recently revealed.

One of these underlying principles is that “energy follows thought.”  Thought and intention activate your co-creator abilities, that spark of Divine Light housed in your Soul.  It is the spark of Divine Light that I believe separates man from animal.  That spark of Divinity is what is celebrated when, across the world, people greet one another with the ancient greeting of Namaste (I salute the divinity within you.)

Another underlying principle from the science of physics is that you can never destroy energy, but you can change its form.  That is the principle used to transmute energy in healing with meditation.

However, shifting and transforming the form of energy, while the most advanced and esoteric aspect of both healing and meditation, require regularity of the practice of meditation.

The movement of energy needed for transformation requires the subtle and regular application, much like a particular dose of medication.

The most ancient teachings I have found on the subject indicate that these life-changing advantages of meditation, especially when doing healing, state that a frequency cycle of daily (at least once in 24 hours) is most effective.

The most ancient wisdom schools recommend daily meditation.  It is throughout the writings of the Ageless Wisdom.  Daily meditation is an essential element of the practice of Raja Yoga, the yoga of the mind.

What I have learned in a lifetime of guiding and helping people heal on all levels, is that meditation can be used as a medicine, much like a tonic, which when practiced daily can help, heal, clarify, and empower your life.

How I Can Help You?

Over the years I have created a variety of general meditations to help, heal, and empower you and I invite you to explore meditation as the dynamic tool that it is.

I am also available to create highly custom prescriptive healing meditations to a limited number of individuals on a personalized basis to facilitate and activate transformation and healing.  If you have such a need, please contact me.

I would also love any positive feedback you might offer on the idea of a highly custom prescriptive healing meditation.

If you are not ready to have a custom prescriptive meditation created for you then at least check out my other self-healing posts and my recommended healing meditation (below) that may help you at this time.

Namaste,

The Healing Power of Sleep

The Healing Power of Sleep

Read about the Healing Power of Sleep by Genevieve Gerard

Did you ever wonder why you need to spend a third of your life asleep?

Amazing things happen while your body rests, amazing things that have a profound impact on your waking life.

While your body is at rest healing occurs in multiple ways and on multiple levels.

Just because you are not conscious and aware during sleep does not make your sleep time irrelevant.  What happens when you are asleep is healing and restorative on a physical level, integrative and calming on an emotional level and stimulates both insight and intuition on a cognitive level.

Sleep is a critical time for your being, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.

The third of your life that you spend sleeping is an active and vital part of your life.  It is a time to activate and synthesize thousands of decisions and directions you have generated in your waking hours.  It is the time to set into motion your thoughts and desires.

It is a creative time of manifestation for your consciousness.  The directions of your thoughts throughout the day become the blueprint for your sleep.  During sleep, it is important to harness the power of your mind generated throughout your waking hours.  I believe your life force listens to your dream thoughts and resolves to create in your life what you have directed it to do.

This directing of your life through the power of your thought happens on a very diverse field.  It includes your glands and your organs and even works on an atomic level, shifting your subtle energies to bring them into harmony and alignment with your desires.  For this reason, it is best to reach a state of peace as you enter into sleep.

Sleep is not a time of unconsciousness, but rather is the fertile time in which your mind, your emotions, can align with your Higher Consciousness (your Soul).  Sleep creates a productive and creative time.  While you sleep, as your physical body rests and restores, the autonomic parts of your body are engaged in healing and balancing your hormones which activate a whole host of factors that were created by your emotions and glandular secretions in the day that has just passed.

It is a process of healing your, mind, your emotions, and your body that is a subtle yet powerful part of healing sleep.  Sleep as a healing balm is understood in our collective awareness since the time of Shakespeare.  Sleep is a vital and dynamic part of your day.

For this reason; it is important to learn how to sleep.

The vital and important role of sleep in your consciousness physically, emotionally and spiritual is why I created my guided “Sleep in Heavenly Peace Meditation.”


Checkout Sleep In Heavenly Peace CD by Genevieve Gerard

Because sleep is such a difficult issue for so many people, and the failure to get a restful and restorative sleep has such far reaching implications in life, sleep was one of the very first challenges I addressed when I started publishing my guided meditations. My Sleep In Heavenly Peace meditation CD remains one of my most successful, widely distributed, and reviewed products I have ever created. Click learn more here to check out this MP3 download and glide effortlessly into sleep. USE COUPON CODE sleep5 and get the digital mp3 download for only $5 until Sunday May 13th 2018.

 


In addition to what is happening to you physically during sleep is the emotional processing of what you have experienced throughout your day.  This often occurs in the creation of your dreams.  Dreams are certainly the assurance that when your body sleeps your consciousness remains actively engaged.

At times your dreams may seem random or strange.  On other occasions through dreaming, it is clear that you have come to a resolution of a significant life issue.  In your dreams, you may gain insight into something you have been striving to understand and gain mastery over.

Dreams can leave you feeling empowered.  It is often beneficial to record your dreams in a journal to bring into your conscious awareness the insights and information that may have come to you as you sleep.  When you do this as a part of your spiritual and psychological development, many report that their intuition is enhanced and awareness is increased in a dynamic way.  To keep a journal next to your bed and then spend a few moments recording your dreams is a simple morning meditation.  Try it tonight.

It is hard to talk about the process of dreams, especially the healing power of resolution, without mentioning the less than pleasant part of dreaming, nightmaresI believe nightmares are a way of working through and resolving fears.

I have found throughout my life that the more I have consciously worked to transmute, transform and transcend my fears as an integral part of my spiritual and life lessons, the fewer nightmares have plagued me.

I have also found that there is a direct relationship between what I have focused my conscious attention on during the day and the creation of nightmares in my sleep.  For this reason, I discourage people from watching violent or dark movies or television shows or even reading horrifying novels right before bed.

In sleep, your mind processes all of the input of your day that pertains to your positive thoughts and your fears.  Somehow it all goes into the consciousness mixing bowl of your dreams.

A well-spent day brings happy sleep.
      – Leonardo da Vinci

That is why before sleep is a particularly valuable and vital time to say affirmations, especially affirmations that begin with the magic words of “I Am.”  Meditating before you sleep is also something that many people find beneficial and empowering.  And, of course praying just before sleep is a tradition many learned from their early childhood that remains an effective and valuable ritual with which to transition into sleep.

While you sleep your consciousness is often growing and expanding your awareness.  Sleep is a particularly fertile time for incorporating and synthesizing insights you have received in meditation. In fact, I have often found that after a particularly insightful and profound meditation, it is beneficial to take a nap to incorporate your experience.

The National Sleep Foundation recommends the following levels of sleep.

Age and condition Sleep Needs
Newborns (0–3 months) 14 to 17 hours
Infants (4–11 months) 12 to 15 hours
Toddlers (1–2 years) 11 to 14 hours
Preschoolers (3–4 years) 10 to 13 hours
School-age children (5–12 years)  9 to 11 hours
Teenagers (13–17 years)  8 to 10 hours
Adults (18–64 years)  7 to 9 hours
Older Adults (65 years and over)  7 to 8 hours

 

Many traditions consider sleep as a spiritually enlightening time because your Soul is free from the constraints of your ego and personality. Using your dreams as a portal to wisdom is common among the teachings of many of the world’s people. It is particularly valued by indigenous and spiritual teachings across the world.

Sleep is the best meditation.
      – Dalai Lama

Consciously considering what you do to prepare for sleep helps this part of your life to be valuable beyond just an opportunity to restore your ability to keep going.  If you consider the times in your life that you have, by necessity, been sleep deprived and how that affects your overall efficiency and sense of well-being, you can realize the significant opportunity for healing and empowerment sleep is.

It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
      – John Steinbeck

Each day is divided into a time for doing and a time for sleep.  We all strive to use our doing time wisely and efficiently.  Now empower your sleeping time to be the blessing that it can be.  Sleep time is valuable to your success and your happiness.  You want to make it a productive part of the fabric of your life.

When you awaken with the light of the new day, you can place the past behind you and open your life to the promise and unlimited possibilities of a new day brimming with new opportunities!

Sweet Dreams and Rest Well.

Namaste,

Genevieve

How to Use Empathy Effectively

Learning How to Use Empathy Effectively

Read Learning How to Use Empathy Effectively blog post by Genevieve Gerard

Empathy is an ability with many different definitions.

They cover a broad spectrum, ranging from caring for other people and having a desire to help them, to experiencing emotions that match another person’s emotions, to knowing what the other person is thinking or feeling.

According to Simple English Wikipedia, empathy is a word that means that someone is able to share or understand the emotions and feelings of another person.

I believe empathy is a gift.  However, for some who are awakening to their higher power, their Soul, it can be a challenge.

From reading many recent posts on Social Media, it is clear to me that empathy is rarely understood.  Those who are striving to be of help and service to humanity in this powerful time are often unaware of the higher purpose of being an empath and more importantly understand how empathy works.

I wrote this post because,

Learning how to use empathy effectively is an essential part of the process of spiritual awakening.
        – Genevieve Gerard

The openness of your energy field to the emotions and pain of others can be very useful when you are trying to heal another person.  However, when you are only moving through your life and find yourself feeling the pain and feelings that are not your own, it can be confusing.  Part of the process of empathy emerging in your consciousness is for you to learn to identify what comes from your individual consciousness and what is from your expanded consciousness.

There are some truths about empathy that I will explain briefly in this post along with some techniques and practices that can be helpful.

One truth is that spiritual gifts, like empathy, emerge spontaneously.  On the other hand, they may be difficult to integrate into modern life in our modern world.

We do not live in a society where spiritual experiences are explored and talked about or explained in daily life as a natural part of life.  As more and more individuals are facing the challenges of awakening without the support and guidance of a guide or mentor, confusion, and misunderstandings abound.

One of the advantages is this process of awakening is happening too many and not to only one individual.  However, the danger of these phenomena emerging outside of traditional spiritual instruction is the plethora of misunderstanding and misinformation that can be rapidly spread as well-meaning people struggle to teach others beyond what they know.

Recognizing that you know what you know, and recognizing that
you do not know what you do not know — this is knowledge.
       – Confucious

For many centuries, the source materials for volumes of spiritual knowledge have been kept secret and behind a veil.  In earlier times the Ageless Wisdom was revealed under the guidance of a master who worked with an individual or a group of students in a spiritual community that supported the nurturance and unfolding of their spiritual gifts.

In those times and under those conditions empathy was understood as an evolving part of a spiritual journey.

In our modern society, a spiritual journey is often not only misunderstood but since it is an experience outside of “consensus reality”, it may be labeled, diagnosed and medicated away.

If you are undergoing a process of spiritual awakening, it may be helpful to have a guide to the changes of enlightened awareness that can protect you from the danger of the misuse of your gift which can lead to misery and discomfort.

These risks are unique to our times and the trappings of our modern society.  When someone’s empathy gifts are emerging, and they begin to realize they are feeling the pains and emotions of others they most often suffer in silence.  When you share what you are experiencing to those who have never had the same experience you stand a good chance of being judged as crazy.  Worse still, you may judge yourself as crazy.

Fortunately, the emergence of the concept of empathy into consciousness groups gives some framework with which to begin to understand this strange reality.  However, although this loose explanation within social networking groups may be sufficient to provide a label that enables you to realize that you are not crazy, it falls short of teaching you how to use your gift without harming either yourself or those you seek to aid.  Knowing that you are not the only person who feels and experiences other people’s pain and emotions, falls short of teaching you how to use your gift for the service and support of others on their life journey.

Likewise, how empathy can be utilized as a dynamic part of your life journey is still missing.  What you can do to wield your gift from a centered and calm perspective is rarely addressed.  What you can do to protect yourself from the pain and raging emotions of others is a source of much confusion and misinformation.

How you incorporate your empathy into your social relationships is also important.  There are both ethical issues and issues of right relationship that you need to consider.  Your empathetic gift which has the underlying purpose of enabling you to be of help and healing to people can create harm if not used with compassion and understanding.

Certainly helping is the intention of most of those blessed with empathetic vision.  It is doubtful that you would have ever received the spiritual gift of empathy if you wanted it to harm others.

However, in all spiritual endeavors as in all of life, there is always the danger of unintended consequences.  It is to avoid those unintended consequences that it is important that you learn to use your empathy to heal, not hurt.

Most importantly, that also means to learn how to be an empath without hurting and harming yourself.

As I read through the hundreds of problems in posts shared on social media, I have become increasingly aware that adjusting to empathy without an underlying understanding and structure of the why and how to use the gift is a problem for many.

Using the gift of empathy effectively identifies some basic principles that are of great importance to understand.  Learning to recognize what is coming to you empathetically and then being able to discriminate and differentiate it from your personal thought reactions and feelings is an important first step.

Discernment and discrimination are of vital importance to use your gift of empathy in a way that both is of healing help to those around you without creating harm or hurt in your life.

Meditation is a valuable tool in helping you to do this.  It is also important to have a way to transcend, transform and transmute those emotions in yourself, and as a healer in others.  Part of being an effective healer and efficient as an empath is learning mastery of your emotions. Ponder on this.

Understanding your emotions is a significant step in your spiritual evolution, and it is often a challenge that happens concurrently with the emergence or increase in the spiritual gift of empathy.

Mastering your emotions is a significant life challenge.  Taking that mastery to a level where you can work with healing the emotions of others requires a deeper understanding of the nature of the emotional body and how you interact energetically with others.

 

Feel Free of All Negative Emotions

Understanding emotions are so important that in my body of work I created two different products from the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom to explain emotional transmutation.

The shorter (10 minute) version is called, “I Am Feeling Free.”  It allows you to learn to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts. The longer and more technically complex guided training called “Feeling Free” takes about 20 minutes and is a guide to feeling free forever of all negative emotions.

Check out these short guided trainings on Amazon:

I Am Feeling Free:
Learn to Calm Strong Emotions and Transmute Fears and Doubts

 

 

Feeling Free Guided Training by Genevieve Gerard

 

Feeling Free
Guide to Feel Free Forever of All Negative Emotions

 

 

Both involve learning to master your emotions and transmute and transform the energy.  Feeling Free is especially valuable for an empath because when you do it with the added intention of clearing and raising the emotional energy of everyone in the room it impacts the experience of everyone as a healing event.

 

Empathy Is A Gift

What is most empowering and significant to understand about being an empath is that not only are you aware of the emotions and hurts of others but that the purpose of that awareness is to empower you to help heal those hurts.  That is why empathy is considered a spiritual gift, and not as you may fear it to be a spiritual curse.

Using the universal law that “energy follows thought” makes intention a most powerful tool for an empath.  Part of the education of an empath is to enable them to use their empathy as a healing tool for the betterment of othersThat is the higher purpose for which the gift is available to Lightworkers and Light-bearers.

It is important to understand that as an Empath when you transmute, transform and transcend your negative emotions you (with intention) have the power to impact the vibration and emotional pain of all who are around you.  That is why Empathy is a gift and power you must learn to use wisely with discrimination and discernment. 

 

How to Use Empathy Effectively

Meditating upon these issues is helpfulClearing your emotional field is essential. Understanding how to do that and incorporating emotional mastery into your life as a healer is also one of the keys.

Compassion and respect are essential elements of using your empathetic gift.  Practicing kindness and learning to be non-judgemental are attributes that are important to master.

Recently, as a lifetime student of the Ageless Wisdom, and a lifelong meditator who is also a healer and an empath, I have been feeling directed to offer an opportunity for empaths to learn and grow into how to better understand their gift.

Since I can only explain and write so much in a blog post, I am willing to offer my experience and wisdom as a longtime counselor, life coach, and healer, to teach and train those interested in learning to master their empathic gift through a series of webinars.

I will begin with a general webinar for those who need and desire this informationIf you are interested, you are invited!

Please simply join my community email list (I will only send out things occasionally and promise never to flood you with email) if you would like to be notified about the webinar.  When the time is right, I will then contact you personally by email to invite you to join the online event.

Out of the first empathy webinar event (and experience) and based on the needs and interest of the participants, I will develop a series of educational webinars on How to Use Empathy Effectively.

I trust the wisdom of the universe to attract to this event those who can grow and learn from it.  I encourage you to trust the knowledge of your internal guidance to know if this is something that would benefit you or a close friend.

If you are interested in learning more about how empathy works and how you can master your empathy gift, please opt-in above with your email and I will notify you about the webinar and any further articles I write on empathy.

You, as an empath have been given a powerful ability to having a healing presence and impact on those around you.  But you need to learn how to use your gift without taking on the emotions and pains of those you endeavor to help and heal.

To not learn that mastery and the Ancient Wisdom can make empathy a painful journey in a modern world where what you are experiencing is outside of the understanding of the world around you.

As a longtime empath, helping those who are awakening with the gift of empathy to understand it and use it effectively is something I have been directed to do in my meditations.  If you wish to learn more about How to Use your Spiritual Gift of Empathy, these webinars are for you.

 

Namaste,

Breathe for Healing and Harmony

Breathe for Healing and Harmony:

A Meditative Experiential Article

Read Breathe for Healing and Harmony: A Meditative Experiential Article by Genevieve Gerard

Part of my ongoing
series on Healing.

Breathing is essential to maintain life.  A guided or controlled breath is often one of the best techniques used in meditation.

Breath is both a physical action and an energetic act.  Prana, life energy is available through the breath.

Follow me now as we enter a meditative experiential article about using breath for healing and harmony.

This meditation will unify your mind, your heart and your body with your Soul to heal you.  To begin this meditation, I invite you to Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Invite the Light. Now take a deep breath.

When using breath in healing, there are several purposes of the breath: Clearing your energy field and relaxing your body and releasing emotionally any fears and anxieties of which you are aware.

This breathing exercise becomes a meditation through your intentions.  Be receptive and aware as you peacefully and calmly just breathe.

As you read this meditation, let your breath move throughout your body, aware that prana, life energy surrounds you.

Begin by sitting quietly and receptively and let yourself relax.  As you relax, let your mind calm as you observe your breath.  Make no attempt to control your breathing; just follow the natural rise and fall of each breath.

As you breathe in the air that is essential to maintain and sustain your life force, let your awareness that this gift is freely available to the full extent of your need.

Draw in as much air as your lungs can hold, expanding your lung capacity by relaxing your solar plexus as you drop your diaphragm.

Then as you draw in your breath, as it moves up your body, let your energy move with the Prana (Life Force) you are breathing in.

Become aware that you are the one who is breathing in, and you are the one who is breathing out.  Let this awareness happen naturally and spontaneously requiring no conscious thought or consideration.

By bringing your awareness to the simple act of breathing you can expand your consciousness.  You may become aware of the symbiosis and cooperative dynamic of all of life.  The oxygen you freely partake of has been created by the trees and plants and verdant life that surround you.  It sustains you.  Your very act of breathing produces the carbon dioxide that the trees and plants require maintaining their life cycle.  There is deep magic in this cooperative and co-dependency of life.

As you observe that natural rise and fall of your breath, you can be a detached observer letting your mind calm, and your body relax.  As you just sit quietly receptively observe the rise and fall of your chest and your belly as you breathe in the vital life force of Prana, which is all around you and freely available to you.

As you continue to relax, breathing and observing the natural ebb and flow of the air that you breathe, you might notice the coolness of the breath as you breathe in or the warmth of your breath as you breathe out.

You might notice that this breathing process happens both naturally and spontaneously without requiring any thought or action on your part.

All that you need to do is Be, right here and right now.  As you just sit quietly and receptively and breathe, let the vital life force fill you, relax you and restore you.  This gift is available to you freely and spontaneously.  It is a gift you can use for your healing.   It is available to you now and always available as a vital force for your life and living.

To enhance and expand the healing power of your breath engage the healing power of your mind and the healing power of your higher source, your Soul.  You can invoke your higher source through the loving power of your Soul.  Just open your whole being to the Light of your Soul by imagining your Soul as a radiating golden white Light 3-to-6 feet above your physical body.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

Upon observing the Light of your Soul, recognize its Presence as a part of who and what you are.  As a human being, you are miraculously composed of a physical body, although you are more than your physical body.  You have a creative and dynamic mind which you can use to focus your powerful capacity for thought.  Your heart is a spark of the force of Divine love. You are a Soul that is a unified part of the Divine Creative Source for all of life.

As you breathe in a full and relaxing breath, let these energies merge and blend to manifest as the healing Presence and the Healing Power that they are.

Use intention, visualization and invocation to invite this healing into your life through the air that you are breathing.

With your breath consciously consider that as you draw in this breath you can infuse the air with the dynamic healing power of Prana to rebuild, refresh and restore your body.

Let the very air that you breathe be filled with the healing Light of your Soul and the generous grace of God.  As the air fills your lungs realize that it has in it the atomic substance of your Soul. The creative power of Divine Light is now offered to you and available.  You can now heal your life on all levels, physical, emotional, and mental through your spiritual unity and integration.

Recognize that the air that you breathe now is infused with the atoms empowered by the Healing Presence of your Soul and the loving grace of the Divine.  The particles that make up the air that you breathe have been a part of earth’s atmosphere since the beginning of earth’s cycle of time.  The atoms that compose the air you call upon to serve your life were in their life used by every Avatar and Holy One, whoever walked the earth.

Let the miracle of the ancient ones Healing Presence enter your body as a demonstration of grace.

Through the power of your breath, you can be touched by the body of Christ as a manifestation of his healing Presence in the world.

As air moves from your lungs into your circulatory system by the agency of blood, it travels and touches every molecule of your body, every organ in your body, as a force of Prana. As it moves through you, in and around you atomically and molecularly it is healing you, balancing you and infusing you for a full expression of health.  This healing is available so that you can move forward from this meditation to fulfill your purpose and do your work in the world.

As your breath circulates through your body and into your circulatory system, visualize every part of your being align with your Soul Light.  As you release each breath, you can release your stress.  You can let go of emotions that no longer serve you.  

You can be peaceful and calm.  You can come into the unique gift of this moment of time, choosing to free your body, your mind and your emotions from thoughts, feelings, and fears that have held you back or limited your expression.

Continue to sit quietly and receptively as you ponder and consider the atomic restoration that is available.  As with the air, healing atoms circulate through the blood through all of your organs balancing, healing and helping them be restored to complete function and health. 

As the breath flows through your heart, imagine it infused with love. Let your breath send the energy on to draw out any toxins from which your body needs purifying.  The circulation continues to carry through the cleansing and purifying organs of your liver, spleen, kidneys, and colon. The atoms are infused and charged with Soul Light, Love and Divine Grace with power.

Allow the circulation that occurs both naturally and spontaneously with your breath to be a miracle of healing as you continue to breathe. You are quietly aligning with and infusing the wholeness of your being.  This gift is provided for your healing, for your happiness and vitality.

Before you return to your activities, pause and just let yourself breathe in and out deeply one more time, as you let the breath be a healing force in your life

As you just breathe and relax into the powerful potential to heal your body, your emotions and your mind, realize that you can release anything that is not harmonious and balanced.  With another breath, draw in life Prana and Life energy to fill, heal, restore, balance and transform you.

Give thanks for this great blessing of healing that your meditation has created while you paused in your life to “just” breathe.

I recommend that when you do this Breathing Meditation that you follow it by sitting quietly and receptively and record the impressions and thoughts you have received.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Invoking Healing Miracles

Invoking Healing Miracles Today

Read the Invoking Healing Miracles article by Genevieve Gerard

Pondering how miracles happen and considering the next subject for my ongoing series on Healing, I realize that healing, either for oneself or a loved one, is the most common reason a miracle is requested. 

The synchronicity of this thought motivates and focuses my meditations to explore creating healing miracles.

Understanding the dynamics of what must take place to create a true life-transforming healing miracle is important because within that dynamic we see without any hesitation the most practical and profound aspect of spirituality.  A miracle, especially a miraculous healing experience, is where the rubber meets the road in the dual aspect of being both a human being and a spiritual being.

 

You Can Be a Co-Creator in Your Life

Miracles can teach and demonstrate to us that as you live your life, you are also the co-creator of your life.  This is one of the great mysteries of life.  It is a concept that is both amazingly empowering and awesomely threatening.

The part of this that is uncomfortable is the responsibility that comes with this understanding.  In the process of becoming a co-creator in your life adventure, thousands of questions may come to mind.  Your mind chatter may begin to argue and reject the concept that you would create any of the problems and challenges that you face.

It is, of course, a concept that may not be easy to grasp.  You might reject the idea completely because it seems unfathomable that you would create problems for yourself and most certainly illness and suffering.  It is within this mysterious concept about the nature of reality that the real power of miracles exists.

It is certainly easier to go through life believing yourself to be a victim of happenstance.  You can blame others for anything bad that happens to you, or you can even ultimately blame God, as many do.  You can even blame luck or karma, placing responsibility on anybody or anything but yourself.  Yet to be and become the powerful, amazing, being you were created to be when God chose to create humankind in His image, this concept deserves consideration.

If you are a person of faith, you may bruise God’s ears with your prayers and petitions for what you think you want or need.  You may call upon the angels and the whole congregation of saints to intercede on your behalf.  Yet with all of this, you are still not stepping into the role of a child of God who is the Son of Man.  It is in this mysterious, miraculous concept of co-creating with God that you are empowered beyond your current understanding. 

Being in this co-creator role is being all that you were created to become as a partner with God in the experience of living.  It is in this co-creator concept that Jesus taught, when after his great healing miracles he proclaimed, “I and the Father are One.”  The absolute bliss that is inherent in that affirmation opens you to a new understanding of miracles. Ponder on this!

To accept that you are both able to influence your life and by extension, the life of others, requires some deeper openness and understanding of both the miracle of life and how you can be aligned with the Divine and an instrument for Divine blessings to others.

 

Universal Laws & Principals

The role of claiming your co-creator part with the Creator requires taking on a level of responsibility that may be beyond what you are willing to accept. Nevertheless, it is in that responsibility that you can gain a deeper understanding of the Laws of the Universe, transform your life and empower the service you can be to your fellow man.

Now, what is fascinating, and in relationship to the concept of miracles and healing, is to realize that there are universal laws and principles in place, and these are completely impersonal.  You can use them or deny them.  They are at work both when consciously used and equally at work when you are completely unconscious of them.  It seems that the more you can work with the Laws of the Universe consciously in your life, the more you are coming into the fullness of what you were created to be.

In a miracle, Universal Laws are not circumvented but rather exalted.  Amazingly, the desire for miracles and the need for healing in life motivate people to come to a greater understanding of these laws and principles.  Equally amazing is that when you work with and wield these laws and principles consciously, miraculous things happen.

 

Healing Miracles

I think that it is around the issue of healing miracles that the biggest dichotomy of what is meant by being a co-creator is faced.  As perhaps the greatest healer of our time, “John of God” always pointed out, “It is God that heals, not me.”  I think any successful healer, physician or energetic healer would acknowledge that a true statement.

I know in my life when I have been blessed to be a part of a miracle, I have been overwhelmed with awe and gratitude to have even been allowed to be a part of a miracle.  The energy that has flowed through me is so far beyond what I can usually touch and experience that I am immediately humbled.  The grace that flows is beyond my understanding and most certainly my abilities.

It is crystal clear that like John of God I can say without any doubt in full acceptance, it is God that heals.  The gift and grace that I have been granted are to have been a part of the event.  It is in the absolute bliss of having come to that place of utter surrender of personal will and attachment that you can blend into the activation of Divine Will, and a miracle can occur. 

 

Prayer

Now you might say, “if this is true then all that I need to do is pray for healing.”  Certainly, prayer is an effective way to request a miracle.  But to think that prayer does not involve activating and utilizing the very principles and Universal laws that empower a miracle is looking at prayer in a very simplistic way and ignoring the powerful dynamics that are activated with prayer.

Prayer works within the universal laws and principles that are causative factors in the creation of miracles.  The fact that you don’t have to understand those laws in order to pray does not mean that prayer works outside of the laws, but rather as fulfillment and manifestation of them.  For many to pray is easier.  But it would be incorrect to ignore the dynamic power of the tools and techniques utilized in prayer.

Prayer works within the universal laws and healing miracles work within universal laws.  There is no need to go outside of laws to manifest healing miracles but rather to look deeper at the way the word works to manifest miracles.

Miracles do not, in fact, break the laws of nature.
      – C. S. Lewis

Bringing your awareness into the mechanics of both miracles and prayer is a way to see the many ways that you can collaborate with God and co-create with God in your life.

Those who actively practice the Law of Attraction in their life often see a miraculous transformation in their material circumstances and the material world.  Countless miracle tales demonstrate the universal laws as people learn that “energy follows thought.”  This is a real dynamic in the mystery of miracles and the magic of being a co-creator in your life.

Using the power of the invocation of energies that prayer employs, or using the dynamic that energy follows thought, are not different.  Consciously working with invocation and intention creates miracles and it could be said that the miraculous property of prayer is in the act of invocation and intention.

 

The Use of Intention and Invocation

The use of intention and invocation are an active part of the dynamic of our being created in the image of God, as a Son of God.  This duality of our human nature is our greatest mystery and our biggest blessing.  It is in wielding that dual nature that we are empowered to “do greater things than I have done” as promised and foretold by Jesus (John 14:12.)

It is in studying and considering the miracles of Jesus that we see a demonstration of the miraculous healing power that is available from the dual consciousness of being in this co-creator role with God.  Jesus even said regarding his miracles, “Greater things than I have done you shall do.”  It was in his energetic merging with the Father that Jesus demonstrated the power and importance of the union with God by going to the Father.

Because He did that, he empowered all of humankind to follow his path.  It is in the desire to help and heal with miracles that you can find the motivation to surrender your personal Will to Divine Will.  Even if you can yield sufficiently to that Oneness with the Father for only a second of time, that second is held in eternity in the eternal NOW and that act is so very amazingly powerful and profound that a miracle happens.

 

Oneness with a Higher Power

If you talk to those healers who have participated in healing miracles, the transforming bliss and astounding joy of that moment is what they remember most. And although they may not have been able to sustain that awareness of Oneness with the Father that marked the miracle, it is both affirming and confirming that that pathway exists.

In the energetic release that happens with a miracle, the illusion is cleared and at that moment, “The Son of God creates to bring him joy, sharing the Father’s purpose in his own creation, that his joy be increased and God’s along with his.A Course on Miracles page 489”

It seems appropriate when you consider the role you are striving to play to facilitate a miracle, that you are as God created you.  You are one with him, and He is one with you.  That great miracle of your creation and your oneness with the Father is the basis of all of your abilities to live as a co-creator with God.

When you can sufficiently surrender your personal will to Divine Will, you will be blessed to help facilitate and participate in miracles.
     – Genevieve Gerard

Before this article concludes, I think it is important to delve deeper into the role of prayer in miracles, for prayer serves as the portal to aligning your personal will with God’s Will.  Prayer can help you reach the place where you can open your mind, your heart and your Soul to the Oneness with the Father. 

And certainly when the bliss of that union has been touched, and you know to the depth of your Soul that a miracle has happened prayers are the best way to express your overwhelming gratitude for the blessing you have received in healing another.

In the afterglow of a healing miracle, I have found that the expression of joy is spontaneous as is the gratitude of having been blessed with the opportunity to be a part of a Healing Miracle. 

What is learned through participating in a healing miracle can fuel your understanding in profound and life-enhancing ways that you can ponder in your meditations and incorporate into your spiritual life.

 

A Meditation on Merging With Your Soul

Coming into a state of Oneness with the Divine and with Divine Will (the Father aspect of God,) while beyond what you (or I) can typically accomplish from our current awareness, is an exercise of being in Soul consciousness and completely surrendering. What you need to do is open yourself as much as you can to the conscious awareness of your Soul, with the expressed desire and intention to as fully as you can, open to the presence of your Soul in an attitude of complete surrender. 

This can be incorporated into an act of healing and service to another.  In fact, the intention to create miraculous healing for another helps you bring your consciousness to the highest place you can experience.  Then, surrendering your personal will to Divine Will, while aligning as fully as you are able with your Soul, you can open to the touch of your Soul.

Mantras may help with this as you hold your intention to calm your mind and fully open your heart as you invite the light.  In the related posts below, I provide links to articles and meditations to help you open to the touch of your Soul while you are in an aspect of surrender to your Divine Will.

Now is a time when the guidance of your Soul is required, and I cannot presume to direct or guide you on the surface beyond the physical words I write today.  Know that when you open energetically to your Soul in surrender with intention, you enter what may be uncharted territory for you and what I am sharing is as much as I can share at this time.  Ultimately, any meditation you create for yourself should be under the protection and direction of your Soul. Whatever revelations or realizations you will have are uniquely yours.

As always, when you meditate I recommend you have a pen and journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive.

Because you are striving to reach a more exalted awareness, I also suggest you prepare your space by setting aside time without limitations in a situation where you are assured you will not be interrupted so you can let the experience flow.

Since your Soul is in control, you will only receive what is exactly right for you at this time.  Moreover, since your intention for healing is surrender to Divine Will, the healing will be what is exactly right for the one you are striving to heal.

My final instruction before you embark upon this adventure in consciousness is the reminder to express your gratitude for any insights and blessings you receive. 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Activation of Healing Energies

Activation of Healing Energies

Read Activation of Healing Energies article by Genevieve Gerard

This is another article in my on-going series on Healing.

When you pray for healing, you are activating energy.

Healing energy activation takes place on many levels.

First, it activates your thoughts, engaging the powerful life dynamic that “energy follows thought.”

Immediately by focusing positive thought, intention and desire on healing, the healing power within your body is empowered.  This happens in the organs and glands, all the way to the cellular level of your body and even into the atomic substance of your being.

Also, when you pray for healing you are calling upon help from the Divine.  In so doing, you are surrendering to and aligning with God’s Will and purpose for your life.  That is always powerful and empowering.  Re-aligning, or aligning for the first time in your life is transformative.

Your prayers also draw the conscious attention of your physical problem(s) to your Soul.  Praying for healing alerts your Higher Self that you are now open to learning whatever lesson the dis-ease was created to teach.

Dis-ease often manifests to alert you to the ways your life may have gone out of balance, physically, emotionally or with your thoughts.  Invoking healing and inviting healing declares your desire and your intention to rebalance and restore your life.

Your Soul then can call for the help and support of the angels.  It may call for the assistance of your guardian angel that is committed to you in this life, or it may call upon angels and devas who provide specialized energy that is more responsive to the healing that you need.

Energy is activated, and that activation creates a response on the physical level of your being, as well as in your emotional and mental bodies.

The merger of energies that invoking and surrendering to healing activates bridges the spiritual world with the world of matter and demonstrates the integration of the wholeness of the Self, body, emotions, mind and Soul.

It is important to remember that all of this happens energetically and spontaneously when you pray for or invoke, healing help.  Your conscious part in all of this is to keep your thoughts positive.  It is also important to remain receptive to what you need to learn from this dis-ease experience.  In that are the seeds of miracles and wisdom, ponder on this.

As you ask for healing it is of vital importance that you join in with the efforts being activated by your prayers.  Healing is a team effort, and you are by definition a key player on that team.  Divine intervention and angelic help are no substitutes for doing your work of consciousness to facilitate healing.

Important Ways That You Can Activate and Support the Healing Process:

Maintain a positive mental attitude.  The dynamic principle that “energy follows thought” is of paramount importance when you are involved in a healing transition.  It is a powerful time to engage the power of your mind.

Engaging the power of your mind as a support to the prayers and invocation for Divine and Angelic help is a way that you can help yourself.  That requires being conscious of what you are thinking and what you are feeling and, when you find your thoughts negative, immediately replacing that negative thought with a positive or hopeful one.

As much as it is important to cooperate in your healing by maintaining a positive mental attitude and using your mind to encourage and support your healing, so too is it important to use your time of healing and restoration to learn to conquer your fears.  Often in times of illness, you may experience fear.  This is normal and to be expected.  With severe illnesses the logical result, if there is no healing, is often death.  Focusing on your fears hinders healing.  Realize that sometimes the ultimate healing is the release of the physical form from this planet.  When invoking healing its best to invoke “right action” and live in the NOW moment.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
       – Thich Nhat Hanh

These are two of the most important life lessons so it makes perfect sense that they would be significant in a time of healing.  Fear is both debilitating and damaging to your body, mind, and emotional well-being. Therefore, to take the time, while you are healing, to gain mastery over your negative thoughts and replace those with positive thoughts make perfect sense.  Likewise, take the time of healing to learn mastery over your fears.

Healing creates a fertile time to learn important life lessons; lessons which when mastered in the healing process, empower and improve the rest of your life.   That is why among those who work with “laying on of hands”, psychology and energetic healing often refer to an illness as a healing crisis.

Healing is a matter of time,
but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
       – Hippocrates

When you pray for healing and invoke the power of the Divine, the power of your Soul and the help and assistance of Angels, it is a good time to consider your life particularly in light of how you can improve your life.  What is the purpose of this life and how can you bring your life into alignment to manifest that purpose.

If your healing requires, as is often the case, a time of recovery then I suggest again that you use that time to strengthen your ability to maintain a positive mental attitude and to conquer your fears, and ultimately let go of any negative influence from your past by forgiving yourself.

You may need to use your recovery time to re-evaluate your life and consider mistakes you have made and what you need to do differently.

You may recall from the biblical stories of Jesus’s healings that very often forgiveness played a crucial role.  Jesus made the statement “your sins are forgiven.”  Forgiveness is always available once you have the understanding and insight that you have made a mistake. Forgiveness is available to empower the transformation process.

Although Divine forgiveness is assured, in my many years of coaching and counseling I have found that although most people can accept the concept of forgiveness coming from a God of Love and Grace, they often have a hard time forgiving themselves.  Forgiving yourself is often a key element in healing.  Once you have understood the lesson of a dis-ease and modified your thinking or behavior, it becomes essential to stop clinging to the self-recrimination and blame.

It becomes important to put the past in the past where it belongs and let yourself move forward into the present where the great release is available to you.  Forgive yourself and then open your life to the unlimited possibilities of a future that is only now being created and coming into manifestation.

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
       – Eckhart Tolle

Self-forgiveness is the final step in the process of healing.

Over my many years of helping people through healing crisis’s, be they from injury or illness, I have found the following things to be important steps in the healing process.  To facilitate and help with these important steps, I have created guided meditations to help you and your loved ones.

For positive mental attitude,
consider the use of positive affirmations:

         Awaken to Success Affirmations

         Soaring to Success Affirmations

For transcending, transforming and
transmuting negative emotions and fears:

         I Am Feeling Free Meditation

For forgiving yourself and
freeing yourself from the past:

         How to Forgive Yourself Meditation

And to help you experience
the healing blessing of sleep:

         Sleep in Heavenly Peace Meditation

I hope you are drawn to using these guided meditations and visualizations and that their use enhances and empowers your healing and your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

You Can Heal Your Life

You Can Heal Your Life

Read "You Can Heal Your Life" article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is a continuation of my on-going series on Healing.

There is a direct relationship between your ability to heal your life and your ability to connect with your Higher Self.

The more consciously you can experience this integral part of your being, the more impact it has on your life experiences.

This integration influencing your awareness opens you to a myriad of benefits that can empower your life.  There is a direct relationship between this and self-healing.

Within your being, there is a variety of energies that relate to being healed.  There is physical healing; this is focused on ailments and limitations that are physical in their nature.  There is emotional healing; this is often one of the most challenging aspects of healing.  It involves bringing the volatile diverse emotional sensations into integration and alignment.  Emotional healing may require releasing your fears that inhibit you or stop you from taking advantage of new opportunities.

Overcoming fear is a frequent need for healing.  Fortunately, transcending fear is a significant life lesson that responds well to spiritual healing and techniques such as meditation that put you in touch with your Higher Self.

There are many spiritual lessons that have a dramatic impact on emotional healing.  These include forgiveness, learning to come into the present moment and lnearing to center your energies.

Healing also requires focusing the power of your thoughts; this involves using your personal will and intention and harnessing the creative power of your mind.

Healing is a complex issue requiring the integration and inclusion of the wholeness of your Self; this means your Higher Self, your physical self, personality and your emotions and mind.

The relationship between your thoughts and your life is renowned.  These thoughts lead to such bold statements as:

If we are willing to do the mental work, almost anything can be healed.
      – Louise L. Hay

Healing takes place on all of these levels.  Your Higher Self, also known as the Soul, serves as the director of this integrative process.  Ultimately, the reformative energy that creates healing, physical, emotional or mental comes from your Soul.

The role of the Soul in the process of healing is also protective.  Your Soul, as the spark of Divine Light within you, has an awareness of factors that may well not be clear or significant to you as a personality composed of mind, emotions, and physical being.

This protection of the Soul is why in striving to heal either yourself or another, the Ageless Wisdom instructs firmly to incorporate surrender to Divine Will and Divine purpose into your request for healing.

In my many years of studying healing, there are many phrases that I have been instructed to use.  Among these are, “I ask this in accordance with God’s will” or “within God’s Will and for the highest good of all.”

These protective phrases align your purpose with the higher purpose in life.  Aligning your personal will with the Divine Will serves to prevent unintended consequences.  Illness, injury and dis-ease, all can serve a purpose in helping you learn and grow.  These experiences can reveal an incredible mystery, ponder on this.

Through adversity, illness, and injury, it is possible to experience remarkable growth and ultimately bring your life closer to fulfilling your purpose.

Healing is ultimately about healing your life.  Whether the healing needed is primarily physically, emotionally or the opening and empowering of your mind, healing is about opening yourself to greater understanding and awareness of your higher self.

In the practice of healing, there is a phrase that describes this process.  It refers to an illness or an injury as a healing crisis.  That perspective helps you see an ill-ness as a manifestation of dis-ease.  When you bring your life into balance and are aligned with your Higher Power (your Higher Self) you open yourself to miraculous healing potential.

If you consider every life event as a situation or circumstance that has an opportunity for transformation and growth, you have already made a shift in your consciousness that empowers you. Ponder on this.

Sometimes a miracle is a change in material conditions, such as physical healing.  At other times, it is a psychological or emotional change.
      – Marianne Williamson

Whatever part of your being requires healing, it is subject to your Soul.

Prayers for healing and affirmations of healing, all help to focus your Higher Self on a particular need or desire for healing.  Moreover, when you look at your life, considering what you can learn from illness or injury, you empower yourself to transcend, transform and transmute; in other words heal.

A powerful mantra that speaks to this point invokes:

Let the Soul control the outer form and life all events, and
bring to light the love that underlies the happenings of the time.
      – Mantram of Unification Invocation for the New Group of Word Servers

Because healing is ultimately the work of the Higher Self (Soul), whether, in you or another, all healing is spiritual healing.  Which part of the being requires healing does not matter.  Healing can be physical, emotional or psychological.

The actual mechanism of healing requires a synthesis of a person and their Divine spark that is known as the Higher Self.

Real healing takes place from the Soul level. 
Everything else is just treatment.
      – Genevieve Gerard

When the lesson is learned, or the purpose for which the dis-ease was created has been accomplished, there is a significant release of energy, which often can result in miraculous healing.  In discussing this issue is it important to remember that to the Soul, which is the eternal part of your being, even physical death can be seen as the ultimate healing.

This perspective on the true nature of healing may be different for you, yet, if you have ever sat beside a loved one in the end stage of life or watched the sense of peace that comes with the last breath of life, you will understand this perspective.  It is a perspective that is wise to keep somewhere in your awareness when you are praying for or invoking healing.  It is a perspective that helps you stay aligned and centered in Divine Will and focused and surrendered to Right Action.

Healing is always miraculous.  It is a blessing available to you to heal your life when you are touched by the healing power and the healing presence of your Higher Self.  Remember and affirm, “I can heal my life!”

Namaste,

    Genevieve

Pray To The Divine Mother For Healing

Pray to the Divine Mother for Healing

Read "Pray to the Divine Mother For Healing" article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Healing.

Today I am going to talk to you about connecting to the healing power and amazing love and grace of the Divine Mother.

The energy of the Divine Mother is archetypical and available to you when you bring the presence of the Divine Mother into your consciousness. As an integral part of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) her power and her presence is available to you through your invocation at your invitation.

The Divine Mother is sometimes called the Holy Spirit and her presence is often experienced when people pray to Mary, Mother of Jesus.

The Threefold Flame

There is a light that shines beyond all things on Earth, beyond us all, beyond the heaven, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens.

This is the light that shines in our heart.
      – Chandogya Upanishad

The Divine Mother is associated with unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace and can be an active and powerful presence in your life. Many say she is more accessible in prayer and petition than the Father aspect of the Trinity. Countless across the world pray to Mary to intercede on their behalf with Jesus, the Son aspect of the Trinity.

Because Mary, the Mother of Jesus, has over the past two thousand years been the recipient of prayers and petitions to the Divine Mother, these energies have merged largely.

Yet, the Divine Mother as an eternal part of the Trinity remains distinct, as she is the eternal expression of the Divine Feminine, also known as the Mother of the World. This has been evident since the dawn of time.

In the patriarchal emphasis of church leaders in the past 2000 years it is through Mary, the Mother of Jesus, that humankind has reached the great love, profound forgiveness and vast unconditional love that is the essence of the Divine Mother.

When you consider and ponder on the prayer of the words of the Hail Mary prayed by faithful Catholics around the globe, you will see the powerful and profound way in which Mary, Mother of Jesus, has served as a representative of the Divine Mother to provide comfort, grace, and forgiveness.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.

Amen

This powerful prayer invokes the presence of the Divine Mother who is known by many names, including the Divine Feminine.

As with all aspects of Divinity, the limitations we as human beings ascribe with names does not limit the power with which the Divine responds to our invocation and petition.

God, in the full power and glory of the Trinity, is available to you and to all human beings as a dynamic living part of the covenant that exists between God and mankind. This is a deep mystery and a profound truth.

When you call upon God, as the Father, as the Son, as the Holy Spirit or as the Divine Mother, God responds, undeterred and unrestricted by what words you choose in your petition.

God is not limited by our understanding of the nature of Divinity.
      – Genevieve Gerard

What I have come to understand about our human experience is that much of this is unknown to us and all of our feeble attempts, including mine, may fall short of the glory and majesty of what is real.

It is for this reason that I frequently, in my own meditations, say the Mantra:

May the Divine Self inspire me
and the Light of the Soul direct.

 

May I be led from the darkness into Light,
from the unreal to the real,
from death to immortality.
      – Mantram of Unity by Alice Bailey

To give you a glimpse and insight into the powerful presence of the Divine Feminine today, I have written an invocation to help bring the Divine Mother into your prayer or meditative experience in a way that will stimulate your conscious experience of the presence.

I invite you to experience this invocation, although it may be more a prayer than a traditional meditation, with an open mind and an open heart, dropping judgement and criticism and calling upon your own inner sense of truth and knowing.

This, like all meditations, is what is revealed from the promptings of your heart and the wisdom of your Soul. I make no claims that my thoughts and ponderings are the truth, but bring to you the opportunity to receive whatever experience is right for you to ponder and find your own sense of rightness and truth.

All I ask is that you say this invocation with the intention to bring the power and presence of the Divine Feminine (the Divine Mother) into your conscious awareness, your heart and your mind.

She will respond to that intention and invitation and provide you what you need from this experience.

A Prayerful Invocation
to the Divine Mother for Healing

Calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

Begin by taking in a very deep and relaxing breath.

As you breathe in, open your whole being to being receptive to the love, grace and healing presence of the Divine Mother.

With your next deep breath, consciously open your heart and make it receptive to Love.

With your next breath, consciously open your mind and make it open to insight.

With your next breath invoke and invite the presence of your Soul, which you could imagine as a radiant golden point of Light about 3-to-6 feet above your head.

As you breathe in a full breath, invoke and invite the healing power and the healing Presence of the Divine Mother into your life.

Know that invocation and invitation open a portal for you to receive the blessings and grace of Her Divine Presence.

As you exhale at the conclusion of the breath cycle, release from your mind and your heart any pain or sorrows you may have experienced from lack of mother-love or nurturing in your life. Let any sorrow, sense of lack or loss be healed in her awe-inspiring love and grace. Let her power heal you, relieve you, support and sustain you.

With one more deep, relaxing and satisfying breath, open your Soul Light to receive the tremendous power and grace of the Divine Mother, the omnipresent flow of Divine Love through Her from the Source of Universal Love, the transcendent essence of unconditional love.

Let Her Love fill your heart to overflowing. Let Her Love and Grace enfold you.

As you connect with Her Presence, place your needs for healing before her by invoking:

Divine Mother, Source of Divine Love and dispenser of the healing power of Grace, I place in Your gentle care my need for healing. In this life, many of my needs for the Unconditional Love and Grace that You bring into the world have been unmet and unfulfilled.

I now ask You to fill my heart with Your transcending and transforming Love. I now ask You to heal my life that I may attract Love and give Love freely.

The failures of my earthly mother may have left wounds and burdens that trouble my heart and may have created limitations and misunderstandings of the meaning, purpose, and power of Love in my life.

I ask that your Love erases and heal all hurts. Understanding that my mother’s failures may have come from her own lack of love in her life, I now forgive her as a demonstration of the unconditional aspect of Love that Your Presence demonstrates to me.

Make me an instrument of Your Grace. Help me to demonstrate in my life what it truly is to Love unconditionally, without attachment or expectations.

Before You Holy Mother, I place all of my needs for Your unconditional Love. Within Your loving embrace and imbued with Your transcending grace, I ask forgiveness for any and all of the times in my life that I have failed to Love.

Assured of Your forgiveness I am able to be at peace. Embraced by Your Grace I am strengthened.

The unconditional Love that Your Love demonstrates to me serves as a guide in my life for how to Love others. Your Grace and Your forgiveness demonstrate to me how to be compassionate and forgiving.

I affirm my desire to be an instrument of grace and love to others in the world.

Now, I open my heart, my mind, and my Soul to receive Your Divine Love to support and sustain me for the rest of my days.

As I accept and receive this amazing blessing, all wounds and damage created by a lack of Love or a misunderstanding of Love are offered up for Your healing power in Your healing Presence.

My life is transformed and healed by your goodness and grace.

As Your Love fills me, filling in every crevasse of lack or loneliness; I extend the power of Your unconditional Love and transcending Grace out to all who touch my life.

I open myself to the Divine Love that flows through You and invite and invoke that flow to be an omnipresent force in my life that I can demonstrate and share.

As I am One with You, my heart is filled to overflowing with Love.

I now sit quietly, calmly and receptively open to the healing power and presence of my Soul as I let my heart be filled. I rejoice and give thanks for the amazing blessing I have received.

Pause

I now sit quietly, calmly and receptively with my mind open to wisdom and insight about love that I may see and experience the truth. As I am freed from attachment and illusion, I am freed to really Love.

Pause

Any lack of Love that I have suffered in the past, any shortage of Grace I have ever experienced is now healed and removed from me with Your healing Presence in this meditation.

I know that Your Healing is complete and Your Grace is sufficient for all of my needs. I give thanks that this great blessing that I have received today is available to me at any time of my need when I come to You in prayer or meditation.

I ask that I may now be a beacon of Love in the world and a demonstration of Your endless ability to forgive and that I become a source for Grace and Compassion to all who touch my life.

This I offer in gratitude for Your Healing Power and Your Healing Presence in my life.

This Love and this great blessing are mine without limit. Each time that I share Your Love with others I am holding open the door of Divine Love for the ongoing blessing and nurturing in my own life.

Each time I offer forgiveness and compassion, I am holding open the door to the Grace and Forgiveness You make available to me.

It is by giving I receive and it is by grace I am healed, so that my life is ever filled with the joy of loving, and of being loved.

Pause

No sorrow can stand or wound can fester in the Healing Power of Your Divine Love once You have been called forth.

Let me be an instrument to focus Your healing power to those I encounter in need of Your Divine Love and Grace that You have granted me. This is a service I offer to You, and to the world in gratitude.

In gratitude and appreciation of the healing I have received, I vow to be a source of Love in the world that I can move forward in my life, free from past sorrows, filled to overflowing with Your omnipresent Love, Your limitless Compassion and Your gentle Goodness and Mercy.

 

Now take a few minutes to ponder on this great blessing and go forth to love and live and serve humanity.

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

Namaste,

   Genevieve Gerard

When You Want To Heal Someone

When You Want to Heal Someone

When You Want To Heal Someone - Serenity Sunday article by Genevieve Gerard

This is another article in my on-going series on healing.

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned healer when you want to give healing Light and provide energetic healing there are some important things to keep in mind.

These healing (literally meaning to make whole) guiding principles can increase the effectiveness of energetic healing and protect both you and the one you are striving to heal.

However, there are some ways that you can make sure that in your desire to provide healing you avoid unintended consequences and assure that right action is the result.  These are some of the important understandings that can guide your efforts.  They also can serve as a protection for the one to whom you are giving or sending Healing Light.

You need to remember that healing is a complex process that involves many factors.  Many of the factors and the dynamics that have resulted in dis-ease may be unknown to you as the healer.  There may be a Higher Purpose to the dis-ease or an important life lesson that is being revealed to the person by the disease.

These reasons and purposes are usually not known to the conscious mind.  The reasons may be a result of karma or things the person facing the dis-ease needs to learn through the dis-ease or come to understand about their choices, their decisions or their behavior.

Healing, true healing, happens on multiple levels and may require layers of healing, physical, emotional and mental.

It helps if you understand, all healing is in the sole direction and authority of the Soul.  The Soul is the part of the spiritual anatomy that, in its role as the Divine spark within you, that gathers from Universal Source the atoms that become your body for you to be born.  There are a myriad of miracles and factors that influence this process.  There are universal laws that must be considered as a new life is formed for a new birth.  Your Soul remains integral and essential in all healing.   It plays a vital part in both allowing the dis-ease and healing the disease.  It plays a vital role in bringing to you what you need to learn from every life situation.

Throughout your life adventure, your Soul remains a part of you.  Whether you are ever aware of it, or whether you connect with it as a source of unconditional love, guidance, and support (as I recommend.)  It is always with you from your first breath to your last, where it returns to the Creator.  It is an integral part of you.  It is a part of you as your life is being formed in the mind of God and it is the part of you that is eternal and returns when your life is through, to the heart of God.

It connects you to your Guardian Angel.  It functions unseen and unknown to help you learn and grow in this life’s adventure.  It is fundamental in any healing.  It is the force to which a healer provides energetic healing.  As a healer, you use your energy and your love to enhance and support the work and purpose of the Soul.  I believe any different direction of healing energy will miss the mark.

It is always the Soul that heals.  That is something to be grateful for because the Soul is never disconnected from Universal Source (God.)  The Soul is by its very nature both aware of and in complete alignment with Divine Will.  That is an important protection for the one you seek to heal.  The Soul being united with Divine Source in the process of creating the substance of your life remains as the force that directs and empowers what is good and right.

Not my will, but Thine be done.
        – Jesus

It also speaks to a very important factor for when you are engaging in energetic healing.  It is essential that at all times you remain aligned with Divine Will.  This can at times be difficult when you are providing healing to someone you love, but this alignment and surrender to Divine Will is an essential part of energetic healing.  To provide healing to another without the possibility of harm requires detachment.  This is why effective energetic healing is often incorporated into prayer in which the “healer” prays for healing.  I always use in any request for healing the protective phrase “within God’s will and for the highest good” I invoke the healing of… .

It is true that thoughts are energy and true that “energy follows thought” in every aspect of life, including energetic healing.  However, this ability to surrender to Divine Will is a core part of the responsibility of an energetic healer.  Although it is not always easy to consider or remember, death can be a part of the healing process.

If you have ever been with someone, who has lingered on the edge between life and death too long, you will understand this statement.  Life extended at all costs is not a blessing.  There is a reason they call death an Angel.  If you have ever sat with someone at the end of his or her physical life, you will start to understand what I mean.  Death can be a blessing and a transition to the next phase of life. Ponder on these thoughts.

As I write these words, I am reminded of the last line of the St. Francis prayer, “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”  It is all too easy to fall prey to the illusion that physical life is the only life.  As one who may provide energetic healing, it is important to consider the whole experience of life, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual or Soul life.

Whenever you are providing energetic healing, you need to be providing the healing essence from the power and wisdom of your own Soul (which comes from Source) to the Soul of the person you are intending to heal.  This Soul to Soul connection takes the healing process into the realm of miraculous and removes your personality and emotions from the process.

Miracles are a part of life.  A miracle is always possible.  As a healer your Soul, and your access to life energy can be used to help facilitate the process of healing.  However, it is only when the energy and intention are attuned and aligned with the Soul of the person you are striving to heal, and aligned with the Light and Love of your own Soul which provides access to the energy to fuel a miracle and the healing is in keeping with the highest good and Divine Will, that healing is right action.

Since you cannot know the highest good or the Divine purpose for every circumstance, the detachment and surrender aspect of energetic healing are of paramount importance.  For this reason, it may be most effective to pray while you are “laying on hands” for healing, or sending healing Light or Love across the miles.

An affirmation that may be helpful to say is:

I stand in spiritual being and, as a Soul, I serve.
I stand within the Light, and as the light shines throughout my form,
I radiate that light.
I stand within the love of God, and as that love streams through and from the heart, I magnetize the ones I seek to aid.
        – Discipleship in the New Age: Vol I, page 213, by Alice A. Bailey, Djwhal Khul

A powerful way that you can safely provide healing energy to someone in need of healing energy and healing Light is to first imagine the Light of your Soul as a radiating Light three to six feet above your head.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

Then visualize that golden Light descending into your field of energy (your aura) into the top of your head, down into your heart filling your heart with Love.  You may then wish to let that energy flow into and infuse your hands.

Then imagine the same Soul Light three to six feet above the head of the one you are endeavoring to heal and visualize the Light of their Soul descending into the top of their head and moving effortlessly to the place in their body and there being that needs healing Light.

To further empower your endeavor, imagine the Light from your Soul connected to their Soul and build into your mind’s eye a third point of Light to represent the Light of Divine Will.  You might also want to imagine that, as a pure white Light emanating from the heart of the Christ, or Source.  Let that healing Light flow freely along the pathway activating and empowering healing on all levels, physical, emotional and mental in surrender to ‘Right Action” and the Highest Good of All.  Visualize the other person in their perfected health.

This image of your Soul, sending forth healing Light and healing Love, to the Soul of the one who needs healing, supported and enhanced by Divine Will and Divine Love is the fuel for miracles.

This combination of intention and surrender to Divine Will is what spiritual or energetic healing is all about.

The final step in this is gratitude for the healing that has taken place.  Thanks for the blessing of the healing is an affirmation of faith and assurance that whether you see it or not, or understand it or not, what is right action for that person is taking place.  The expression of gratitude is also an affirmation of faith that the requested healing is moving forward and taking place.

Then go about your life in the deep awareness that you have given all that is needed and the healing Soul Light will continue to work in keeping with your intentions and purpose.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Healing Energy is Empowered by Love

Healing Energy is Empowered by Love   

How to send healing energy from a distance

   

How to Send Healing Energy From a Distance by Genevieve Gerard

Everything, including our body and our thoughts, are energy.

Sending good intentions and good thoughts when someone is in need of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual help can be more important than you might realize.

Thought energy is particularly powerful and has been proven to influence matter.

There is a realm of reality that goes beyond the physical
where in fact we can influence each other from a distance.
      – Deepak Chopra

This means that distance healing is not only possible but very real.

The world of matter has many limitations.

It is easy to get caught up in those limitations and begin to believe that the limited world of matter is all that is real. I believe nothing could be further from the truth.

There is a material reality of course. What you perceive with your physical sensations of hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell are known to be real.

However, to believe that reality is limited only by perception would be to deny a deeper and more profound reality. By knowing the ways that energy works, you can open yourself to a reality that expands your consciousness. Therefore, you can live incorporating and using your full potential as a human being.

You can live in the world of matter, enjoying and appreciating all of the many delights that it has to offer. And, you can live in the world of energy and spirit and express the amazing freedom and power that it provides. Ultimately, I believe one of your goals, as you walk the earth, is to live simultaneously as fully human and as a spark of the Divine.

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.
      – Sai Baba

Loves Role In Healing

This is of particular significance when you are engaging in healing across the miles or when physically separated from someone you love. If you have ever been away from someone you love, you know that the nature of love is unlimited by both space and time. Although you may miss their physical presence in your days, their absence does not diminish the love that you feel for them.

My Grandmother used to say, “Distance is to love like wind to a flame, it puts out the small but enkindles the large.” If you have ever been parted from a loved one you realize that physical distance does not impact love. Your love can flow across the miles without limitation.

Love is the empowering force for all energetic healing. It is this truth and this reality that enables you to do energetic healing at a distance. Since that connection remains in place, healing can happen no matter what the physical separation. You can have a positive impact on someone through the power of thought and intention.

The Souls Role In Healing

When you engage in healing at a distance, you are working in the realm of etheric energy and through the bonds of love and the connection between your Souls. This is especially true when you are sending healing Light, Love or Power to a loved one, but the same principle is true when you are focusing on healing for someone you may not know personally.

Remember that in all energetic healing, it is the Soul of the one who needs healing to whom you send energy. Ponder on this.
      – Genevieve Gerard

This is a safeguard as it is their Soul that knows what is truly needed. This also speaks to the reality the Soul is ultimately in control in all crises that require healing. That the Soul is always a manifestation of Divine Presence, Divine Grace, and Divine Love also provides a subtle surrender to Divine Will that serves as a protection to the one for whom you are intending and invoking healing.

When connecting Soul-to-Soul you also have the added benefit of protecting yourself from taking on the physical, emotional or mental dis-ease of the person you are trying to help.

Intention & Invocation Roles In Healing

In all energetic healing, the intention is important. It is known in Quantum Physics that the intention of an experimenter influences the outcome of the experiment. Intention is energy; energy does not have any time or space constraints (unlike our physical senses.) Particles in our cells exist in a field of potentiality – meaning intention can influence the behavior of particles.

The very act of sending healing energy across the miles serves as an invocation. It is this merger of intention and invocation with the Soul connection that makes distance healing miraculously effective.

Because this work is energetic and spiritual it is free from the limitations of the world of matter. It is open to the invitation of healing angels or healing devas to enhance your efforts. You can add to the healing force your prayers. You can use the power of visualization by “seeing” the person as if they were whole and healthy. This focuses your energy on wellness and not the disease of ailment.

Right Action In Healing

Again, I stress that the energy you send for healing is sent from your Soul to their Soul enfolded in love. Always in healing, it is important to focus on right action for that person because the Soul has the wisdom and understanding about their lives and their lessons that you probably do not have. This is an import factor as you never want to use your personal will in healing another. Your thoughts and energy are there to support the process of healing, not control it with your personal will or desires.

Although energetic healing is not subject to any of the limitations of the material world, I have always found it helpful to know where someone lives or where they are physically in the world when I tune in to provide energetic healing. That may only have value as a mental tool to enable me to focus, but I have found it helpful over the years. That is a subtle difference in energetic healing from prayer where the invocation is a petition, versus being active in the healing process. Certainly, prayer is effective in distant healing and works.

Meditation Can Set The Stage For Healing

My gift to you:
Here is a quick meditation technique for Distance Healing that you should find helpful.

First, Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart, Invite the Light.

As you calm your mind, put the week behind you, surrender your personal will and release your desires for a particular outcome.

Clearly, state that your intention is for the Highest Good of the one to whom you are sending healing light and energy.

As you open your heart, focus on the bonds of love that connect you. From your heart to their heart, realize that love is a powerful and tangible energetic force.

Let your unconditional love flow forth to provide them comfort and support. Trust that this is received and goes forth as an invocation with your intention.

The Light of the Soul
Soul Light

 

Then imagine or visualize your Soul (with unlimited access to your higher source) as a golden white light 3-6 feet above your head.

Then imagine the Soul light of the one you intend to heal as a point of golden white light 3-6 feet above their head.

Along this energetic pathway, visualize the energy of Light, of Love and of Power gently flowing across the space that separates you physically, knowing that you are unified energetically through etheric substance.

If there are others joined with you in the desire to heal and help this person, build a network of etheric substance to empower the healing by imagining each of them as Souls, with their golden-white light radiating above their heads and link (in groups of three), your Souls to the Soul of the person that needs healing.

When finished, place your right hand over the left hand in a sweeping motion. This is the mudra of detachment.

Namaste

 

This triangulation of energy is a powerful force for good. The meditation can be expanded to include a larger group, adding in more triangles of energy and always Soul-to-Soul.

When you are also bound by love, such as with a close group, family or friends, you can also add triangle lines of energy from heart-to-heart, building an etheric network of love.

As a group, this healing network is even more powerful and has far-reaching implications, as you can participate in the multiplied healing efforts unlimited by either space or time.

By working in this way, through your Soul to their Soul, you will be able to join your energy with theirs for whatever healing result is right for them. It is important that you do not use any of your life force, but instead tap into the unlimited higher source provided through your Soul. It is important that when you work in this way that you do not let your desire for a particular outcome influence you. It is important to keep your personal will harnessed and only invoke what is right for them, understanding that the Soul is in control of both the outer form of life and all events.

Here is a Mantra that you can say that is helpful for this:

Let the Soul control the outer form and Life and all events
and bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of the times.
Let wisdom come and insight. Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner wisdom demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.
Let Love prevail.
      Excerpt from Invocation For The New Group Of World Servers
            – Alice A. Bailey

Experience this meditation, the healing energy empowered by Love and become a powerful force for healing in the world. Let us know in the comments section below how this impacts you.

Namaste,

Ways To Heal Yourself

Ways to Heal Yourself

Read Ways to Heal Yourself article by Genevieve Gerard

This is another article in my on-going series on Healing.

Healing happens on many levels of your being.

As you consider your life and all that has preceded this moment of time, I invite you to explore ways you can heal your life.

As long as there is life, self-healing is always possible. Healing is the highest manifestation of life itself.

To consider how you can heal yourself, you must contemplate how healing happens not only in your body but also in your emotions and your mind.

This threefold aspect of healing is ultimately under the guidance and direction of a higher source, your Soul. Therefore, it is through your connection with your Soul, that you can heal from any situation.

I know this is a bold statement, but I make it based on many years as a counselor helping others through the darkness into the light of new possibilities.

It is a deep truth that as long as there is life, there is hope.
      – Genevieve Gerard

No matter what has happened to you in your life, you can heal.

Sometimes the darkness in your life is physical, such as a catastrophic injury. Sometimes it is emotional devastation, based on things you have seen or experienced. Sometimes it is the memories that the mind continues to replay that bring events from the past into the present. Sometimes it is dreams that haunt you.

No matter what has occurred in your life, there are a variety of techniques that were taught to me in the mysteries of the Ageless Wisdom that you can learn to use to transform, transmute and transcend what has happened in your life. This will enable you to open to the possibilities of a future which has not yet formed, which is in a process of being created and coming into active manifestation.

Steps You Can Take To Heal Yourself

Learn to Meditate

Meditation can play a vital role in helping you to heal.

In the last five years there have been volumes written in the medical journals, which have finally talked about the positive effects that meditation can play in your healing.

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.
      – Thich Nhat Hanh

It is through meditation that you can find a portal to your Soul, which is such a powerful and dynamic part of your essence that it can facilitate your healing. Ultimately, the Souls energy provides healing at the highest level.

Fortunately, your Soul is an integral part of you, a part of you that stands ready, willing and able to help you gain mastery of your body-mind and emotions. Opening to this Presence is the first step of joining with your Soul.

This opening can be as simple as to sit quietly as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

There are many guided meditations available that can provide you with self-healing techniques. It is not as important which products you use, as much as it is that you meditate.

Live In the Moment

An essential part of healing is bringing your awareness and consciousness into the present moment.

That is why an important step in healing your life is to let the past be passed. This may not always be easy to do; however, careful consideration will reveal that the past truly is passed and no good is served by living in your rearview mirror.

Understanding that living in the NOW is the truth that will set you free of the past is a powerful release. It is something that can support and help to integrate your healing. It is a reality that you can use to transform your life.

When you make that step in your consciousness, you are making an important step in allowing healing.

Reduce Negative Self Talk

Another important step forward in your healing is to release yourself from the all too damaging dynamic of reliving the past. Replaying past events in your mind only invites the event into the present and brings out your inner critic.

No good is served by reviewing, rewinding and reliving what happened. It is now in the past. You are free from it if you will let yourself be free. I invite and encourage you to do so.

Forgive Yourself and Others

To forgive yourself is an important step in healing. To forgive yourself opens you to a future that is still unformed and uncreated. In that future, you can be a force for great good in the world. In that future, you will be presented with choices. What you choose will ultimately be a greater determination of the value of your life than anything will that has proceeded this moment of forgiveness.

No matter what may have happened in your past you can heal. Whatever sorrows you may have suffered make your ability to be compassionate have a greater depth and breadth than those who have never known loss and sorrow.

This may not seem possible but since your Soul is by its very existence a part of the Divine it is composed of love and grace. Forgiveness is entirely possible at the Soul level, even though your personality might consider individual acts unforgivable. It is your Soul that does the healing.

In the words of the old spiritual, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” Therefore, to ask for forgiveness is one of the steps in your healing and when you ask, do it by the full faith and confidence that nothing is unforgivable no matter how it might seem.

However, even more important is to accept grace and forgiveness. The nature of grace is that it has absolutely nothing to do with deserving it or being worthy. This grace is a part of divinity that may be beyond our human comprehension.

It is my experience that to allow the blessing of healing and forgiveness in your life, you must truly forgive yourself. This is not always easy, however; I know it is always possible. It is in this task that the healing power of your Soul can have the most power. Realizing that the past is passed helps. This is a simple fact that cannot be denied. Let yourself have the relief and release that this deep understanding about life gives.


Check out How To Forgive Yourself: Let Go Of The Past and Release Your Pain and Sorrow guided meditation by Genevieve Gerard

 

To assist in your process of forgiving yourself, let me walk you through a guided meditation on How to Forgive Yourself: Release and Let Go Of The Past, Forgive Yourself, Heal and Move On From Painful Events.

 


Forgiveness is powerful and profound. It may even have multiple layers to it. Each knot that is unraveled and released by forgiveness is freeing. It may involve forgiving others you know. It may mean forgiving yourself and others that you don’t even know personally but may have been involved. No matter how many layers there are, ultimately it is possible.

Now is the time to start unraveling the knots and layers that may have you bound to the past. You can do it!

The Soul’s Role

There is a Mantra called the Mantram of Unification that I love. In it are the words that for me have always spoken to how important your Soul integration is, “Let the Soul control the outer form, and life and all events, and bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of the times.”

No matter what you may have feared. No matter what experiences you have lived through, your Soul has been with you through it. Whatever turmoil, no matter how terrible or tortured it may have been; there is nothing you have ever done or can ever do that will separate you from your Soul.

Whatever damage you may have suffered as a body, emotionally, in your mind or personality, your Soul, which is your spark of Divine Essence, cannot be harmed. It is always with you and can always be called upon to help you heal your life.

No matter how much you may have rejected or avoided its presence in your life it is ready willing and able to assist with your healing. It awaits your invitation to demonstrate its healing power.

The nature of your Soul is eternal. The essence of your Soul is Love.

Use Your Soul to Heal Your Life

There is a purpose to your life. There is a reason you are still here and alive. Therefore, it is to your Soul that I direct your attention. You can invite it, invoke it and use it to heal your life.

Because free will is a universal law, invitation to your Soul and invocation are necessary steps in opening your consciousness to the Presence of your Soul. Because your Soul is integral to your healing, consciously doing the steps (previously mentioned) to bring you greater awareness of your Soul (as a dynamic and powerful force in your life) is important.

Healing your life will allow you to fulfill your life purpose, which may bring about great good in the world. This is the unlimited possibility and potential that comes with your unformed, and yet, uncreated future.

When the past is relegated to the past, you are taking a progressive step forward. You can change your life. The more you release your anger, the more you forgive, the more you bring in the Light of your Soul to guide your next steps, the more you open yourself to enjoy the new possibilities and unlimited potential that are now unfolding and emerging for your life.

This ongoing and constant renewal of life give the promise of a future that is different from whatever may have happened before. Change is always possible. Healing is always possible. This freedom is inherent in life. It may not be easy, but it is always possible.

Open your life to the healing power and the transforming energy of your Soul. Heal your life of the residuals of past traumas to bring you to the new day that is available for you.

As the expression of folk wisdom affirms, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Choose to embrace the possibility and promise of the rest of your life by inviting and accepting healing into your life.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
