Life Lessons In The Rain

quick life lessons by Genevieve

Sometimes, the skies open and the cleansing power of the rain flows forth bringing with it the healing waters of life to nourish the abundance of plants and quench the parched throats of all who thirst.

This gift from Mother Earth comes to all, rich or poor blessing them, providing for them to nurture and
sustain them in the expression of life.

For this blessing that provides for our needs without our having to ask, let us give thanks as we ponder the miracles that surround us every day.

As we open our awareness to the many blessings that are provided for us effortlessly we invite joy and abundance into our experience.

Please comment on what blessings have come your way.

 

Namaste,

The Soul Connection

Soul Connection

by Genevieve Gerard

Genevieve Gerard The Soul Connection Article image

 

Connecting to the Soul is the most profound and transformative part of the meditative experience.

It is through the connection of the personality, the lower self, to the energy of the Soul, the Higher Self, that we are able to experience that within us which is eternal.

It is our Soul that contains the Divine spark. By connecting to our Soul we are granted a glimpse into an awareness of our oneness with all of creation. It is through our Soul that we are receptive to the Divine.

Through the practice of meditation, when the mind is quieted and the emotions are calmed the Soul shines forth in all of its glory.”

   – Genevieve Gerard

It is through the connection to the Soul that we are granted the insight into the moment that brings relief and release from life’s burdens.

Through meditation, as we connect to the Soul we are bringing ourselves into union with our Higher Self that we may experience wholeness. This unified self opens more and more to the Light, like the petals of a lotus allowing more and more awareness to flow into our life. The union with the Soul gives us an awareness of the Self that is greater and wiser than we are able to experience when focused upon our personality and personal needs and desires.

By meditating regularly to come into union with the Soul we find our perspective changing. We begin to see alternative interpretations of the events of our life. This begins slowly, and initially can only be experienced in the meditative state, but in a regular relationship with the Soul the awareness of those brief moments of connection to the Divine begins to expand and give us new insights and understandings throughout the day.

Through the process of systematically learning to quiet the mind and calm the emotions you change your life by reducing stress. Confidence in your ability to be in control of your body, mind and emotions translates into confidence to be in more control of your life.

Each time you make the conscious decision to meditate you are creating the opportunity for your lower self to gain a greater understanding of life. Just the process of quieting the mind and calming the emotions is its own reward.

When you add the connection to the Soul, the experience of meditation can expand into a receptivity that increases your understanding of your self and your life. The more regularly the connection with the Soul is experienced, the more the insights and wisdom of the Higher Self become available to you. The sense of being centered and the sense of calm confidence make their way into your daily life.

As you build and reinforce the pathway of connection to the Soul it becomes increasingly easy to touch the Light of the Soul as you go through your daily life. This touch of Soul contact helps you gain a different understanding and more profound awareness. Over time, as the connection is reinforced and strengthened you find that your life is freed more and more from the lure of negative emotions, and the experience of peace and joy will pervade your being.

As the Year Turns

As the Year Turns

looking forward 5 minutes to stroke of midnight night shot with fireworks New Year celebration

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are fertile times for reflecting upon your life.

As you do so it seems that there are several powerful ways that you can welcome in 2021 and empower yourself to manifest in the New Year more success, more joy, and ultimately greater happiness.

Perhaps the most powerful and important thing you can do as this passage of time is marked is to bring your consciousness and awareness into the present time, into NOW. This shift to the NOW involves several simple understandings of what is always true but may not be the focus of your thoughts and attention.

Therefore, I encourage you to consider deeply the fact that the past is over!

Seize the Opportunity That Today Offers You

With the strike of the midnight hour you are freed from last year. You are now invited to the unlimited possibility and potential of a new year. The future, brimming with promise is before you and you hold within the creative power of your mind and your life the ability to bring to fruition all of your dreams, all of your desires, your reason for living.

To enhance and best activate this powerful moment where you rest on the threshold of a new year which can be a whole new life, I encourage you to take a few minutes of time to forgive yourself. Since the past is over, nothing is gained by carrying the past forward in the no-win dynamic of self-blame and recrimination. So I urge you to use this transition from the past into the future to really forgive yourself.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift:
That’s why they call it the present.
          – Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Seize the opportunity that today offers you to invoke, affirm and dream. Your destiny is calling to you. Open your heart mind and Soul, to hear that call. As you release the past to its proper role in your life and forgive yourself, you can further free yourself to be fully open to receive what tomorrow has to offer by forgiving any who have ever caused you harm, intentionally or unintentionally.

Happy New Year stars and wishes from Genevieve Gerard

When you do this you are like a babe newly born to a new life like the New Year’s images who usher the old man of the past out the door.

The icing on the cake of celebration of the becoming of the New Year is to express gratitude for all that you have ever experienced knowing and rejoicing that it prepared you for the amazing future that is now ready to unfold for you, right here, right now.

New Year Affirmations

As the New Year emerges into being here are some positive affirmations you can use to empower your life.

  1. I open my eyes to see the new opportunities that are unfolding for me.
  2.  

  3. I open my mind to inspiring and enlightening awareness of what I can do to manifest my dreams.
  4.  

  5. I open my heart to attract to me those who can help me and those I can truly aid.

 

Remember this New Year has never been before! Move into it with joy and celebration, openness, and invitation to create the reality you invoke as the year turns.

Namaste and Happy New Year,

   Genevieve Gerard

Break of Dawn

Break of Dawn

Break of Dawn

 

When the pink lights of dawn merge with the storm clouds of life I feel a call to action from life itself, a dare to seize the day. In this time I open my heart and my mind to the promptings of my Soul to ask for guidance and direction to my life.

Then in the peaceful quiet that exists at the break of dawn before I slip into all of the doing of the day I pause to give thanks for the beauty that life gives so spontaneously without requiring anything from me. I take time to consider the many blessings I have, and embrace the joy that this respite grants.

In this fertile space I open myself to the affirmation and creation of the life that I envision. Connected with my Soul and my purpose in life I consider what I can do to bring into greater manifestation the promptings of my heart.

This time of reflection empowers my life and brings me peace and emboldens me to dare and do.

Love Is The Meaning of Christmas

Love Is The Meaning of Christmas

My Gift of Love by Genevieve Gerard

Christmas is a time to express our love for others. We do this often with the sharing of gifts and trinkets.

This pressure to give gifts, the stress of finding the right gift, and the pressure to spend resources has resulted in Christmas often being seen as more of a commercial event rather than the spiritual love that we know is the deeper meaning of Christmas.

We get caught up in the pressure of presents, shopping and acquiring, decorating, cooking, and celebrating. When we do this, it is easy to forget that love is the motivation for all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays.

Express Your Love To Those You Love

So, as we prepare for the festivities of Christmas let us take the time to express our love to those we love and to express our gratitude for the incredible abundance we already have. Let us remember the love that motivates the busyness and activity of the season.

Let us consider how blessed we already are.

Let us remember that telling the people we love that we love them and appreciate them is a gift that lasts longer than any shiny bauble you can give.
        – Genevieve Gerard

The more that we do that, the more we demonstrate the deeper meaning of Christmas, and the more we bring joy to the world and our lives.

Expressing the joy of love and our appreciation of our loved ones will bring us a meaningful and very Merry Christmas.

Namaste,

   Genevieve Gerard

I’m Free – Veteran Bundle

I’m Free – Veteran Bundle

A Collection of Meditations To Help You Relax – Sleep – Be Calm

I'm Free Veteran Bundle CDs by Genevieve Gerard

You have survived the ravages of war and lived through unspeakable tension, strain, and horror to return to your loved ones and the life you left behind.

You may have noticed that things are different from the way you remember them to be. You may have noticed that you are different from the way you remember yourself to be.

Too successfully return to civilian life, your life, there are some things that would be helpful for you to understand. By understanding these things and having the tools to transition from the stress of your war experience back into the civilian life you can make a successful transition home.

To help you continue to make a successful transition I have created a series of guided meditations with techniques and tools that can help. The first bundle is made up of three CDs from my new “I’m Free” series – (see special gift offer below.) If you use them to resolve and come through the normal residuals of your wartime experience, you can transition back into the experience of being home and leave the experience of war where it belongs, behind you.

Perhaps the first thing you need to understand about the transition to home is that you have been through an experience that required you to have and to hone skills that may have saved your life and the lives of your buddies many times, but applying those same skills to your family life and your daily life can create challenges for you and those you love.

In wartime, you had to be super vigilant. The slightest sound may have signaled a need to bring you to full awareness, full alert, on guard and ready. That was true as you slept and as you were awake. This state of readiness was appropriate to war. This same state of readiness can result in sleepless nights that wear away your patience. You had to sleep on that edge in the war. You now need to relearn a pathway to sleep that turns down that energy to let you have peaceful sleep.

Just as you trained your consciousness to be ever alert, now you need to train your consciousness to relax and be refreshed by a peaceful, secure sleep. That is why the first guided meditation in this bundle I’m Free To Relax is to help you release and leave behind the stress of war.

According to a 2011 Mayo Clinic article relaxation isn’t just about peace of mind or enjoying a hobby. Relaxation is a process that decreases the effects of stress on your mind and body. Relaxation techniques can help you cope with everyday stress and with stress related to various health problems.

Whether your stress is spiraling out of control or you’ve already got it tamed, you can benefit from learning relaxation techniques.

 

Learning relaxation techniques is easy and can reduce stress symptoms by:

  • Lowering blood pressure
  • Reducing muscle tension and chronic pain
  • Improving concentration
  • Reducing anger and frustration
  • Boosting confidence to handle problems

Certainly, the constant stress of the strain of war can leave a myriad of little pains that do not serve you. You can release these pains now. You can leave them behind. They will be healed. This meditation can help you do that a little at a time, releasing and letting go of what you no longer need of the pains of war as you transition back into peace and family life.

As you once trained your full being for war, you can now train your full being for everyday peace of mind. Moreover, although this may not seem necessary or important, letting go of the little tensions and anxiety that a car parking in a strange place or stopping next to you can engender is a part of making that transition. The physiological response to the unusual, that is different, is part of what helped you survive in war. Those same physiological edges to alertness can if not turned back, leave you always in a state of hyper-awareness and hypervigilance that makes you edgy and impatient with those you love.

They have not been through what you have experienced. They do not understand and hopefully will never have to understand. You do not need to continue to carry that edge with you. This first guided meditation in the series I’m Free To Relax will help you take that adrenaline edge off and begin to react to the stimulus of normal civilian life without the warrior’s edge.

I'm Free To Sleep CD Cover

 

The second meditation in the series is I’m Free To Sleep. This will help you learn to sleep again in a way that is appropriate to peacetime and family life.

 

Be assured that if you ever need the skills of ready response you learned in war, they will be available to you. You do not have to have them turned on all the time.

 

 

 

I'm Feeling Free CD Cover

The third guided meditation in the series, I’m Feeling Free, is to help you release the emotions engendered by being in a situation where you had to see unspeakable things and maybe do unspeakable things. These things can be a part of war. They may have been necessary and appropriate to the situation you were in. They were created in the past and can stay in the past. They have no place in the now.

You need to let yourself move that energy out of your body, out of your being, out of your consciousness. You need to now put it behind you, transform it, transmute it and release it.

We know from the science of physics we cannot destroy energy but we can change its form. This meditation is about transforming the emotions we are carrying from our past and letting them change into that which is positive and of service to others. It may not make sense that just focusing our mind and our attention on our emotions can change their form, but it works. It has been proven that energy follows thought. It is powerful and helps you release what was past to let you return to now so that you can enjoy and appreciate your life without carrying the war with you.

I have worked with Genevieve Gerard for over thirty years in transformational, healing, meditation groups and on many projects. She is eminently qualified having worked for many years with trauma victims. Genevieve created these products out of love to help those who suffer trauma, including me. Her guidance works.

These well worded guided meditations may seem to be simple solutions to complex problems, but by using them regularly with an open heart and an open mind you will find that your energy gradually balances and the dynamic guardedness you have carried, that saved you in wartime but can now slay you in peacetime, is able to readjust to your current circumstances and begin to re-bridge the distance that seemed to exist between you and those you left behind.

These proven meditations only take 15 to 20 minutes each. They are guided so that you only need to follow along in your mind. Most people who have used the Sleep meditation say that they are asleep before the meditation is over (and that is perfectly ok.) What is great is there are no pharmaceutical side effects to these meditations. You can use them as often as you want and as often as you need them. Using them will help you shift your awareness to who you are beyond the experiences you have been through. They will help you regain and restore yourself, to your self.

A note from the creator of these meditations:

I wrote these meditations after having studied meditation for over 45 years. For over 35 years as a counselor, I have used guided meditation both in my own life and in helping others who have been through severe injury and pain. I have brought these meditation techniques to you to help with your transition back into your life. You have given enough, you have sacrificed enough. It is time to leave the war behind you and come to the world you sacrificed to serve for, able to fully participate in your life and receive all the love and joy that life can now offer to you. This series was created especially for you, for that purpose.

I recommend using I’m Feeling Free at least once a day or more times when emotional responses are troublesome. I’m Free to Relax can be used whenever the world is too much and you find yourself stressed out. I’m Free To Sleep is best used upon retiring for the night.

In gratitude,

Genevieve Gerard

 

P.S. These techniques can be done quickly and silently at any time without anyone knowing and repetition enhances the effectiveness. Anyone can master these techniques; it’s as simple as breathing and only takes minutes to put into practice.

Winter Solstice 2013

Winter Solstice:

Welcoming The Sun

Winter Solstice 2013 blog image

The darkest day of the year, the Winter Solstice is an ancient ritual. The darkness brought people together to await and celebrate the return of the light. With the return of the Light hope and possibility were reignited. This ancient symbolism remains with us archetypically as we sit in our lighted houses often disconnected from the ebb and flow of nature and the rhythms of the sun.

Modern man with his scientific explanations for all and the how’s and why’s of what our ancient forbearers considered miraculous have lost the sense of awe and celebration.

So this Solstice I suggest a change in your routine, an opportunity to share in the rituals that have come down to us through time immemorial.

Rise as the light begins to chase away the darkness and go to some place where you can watch the sun rise. A beach or over a mountain top are best. As the sun rises, let yourself rejoice with gratitude for the amazing life giving gift of the sun.

As you see the sun rise take a pause to consider all of the ways your life is sustained and blessed by the sun. Take 5-10 minutes to consider all of the blessings and beauty that your life provides for you.

In the way of our ancestors of old, rejoice with gratitude and celebrate the miracle of life.

Last imagine a point of Light three feet above your head as your Soul. Draw in your mind’s eye a pathway of Light from the Sun to that Soul Light above your head and visualize your Soul empowered and enhanced by the return of the light of the sun.

Linger a time to enjoy and appreciate this connection before you go forth into your day and your life, refreshed, revitalized and renewed.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

10 Things I Have Learned About Consciousness From My Dog

10 Things I Have Learned About
Consciousness From My Dog Silky

Genevieve Gerard Dog Silky

 

Life offers us many lessons, sometimes from unlikely teachers.

Although I originally published this post in December of 2013, I am republishing it because the lessons I learned from my dog Silky are different from the lessons I learn from my current dog Bentley, just as our human teachers have different personalities and characteristics that teach us different life lessons.

As I was considering what to post for this week’s Wisdom Wednesday Blog I chose to update and repost this article.

Update:

Silky passed on to doggy heaven in July of 2014. In 2014, a new fur baby came to me as a rescue, my dog Bentley. He has a very different nature and teaches different life lessons.

In October of 2014 I wrote a post about what Bentley was teaching me.

The thing that I think was most wonderful is that each of these souls had mastered giving unconditional love.

The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.
      — M. K. Clinton

I am very grateful for the blessing of unconditional love that each of these dogs have brought into my life.

My life has been richer and blessed by the animals that have accompanied me on my adventure. I encourage you to take some time to consider what you can learn from the animal consciousness that has come into your life. Each Presence is unique in what they teach you and offer to you.

I hope you enjoy this somewhat lighter perspective on life lessons. Life lessons are available to us from everywhere if we keep our hearts and minds open.

 

10 Things I Learned

    1. How to relax – when my dog relaxes he does it completely without a worry or concern.
    2. How to forgive immediately – my dog forgives any error on my part and then forgets it.
    3. How to express love with spontaneous joy – my dog gets completely into expressing his love and doesn’t stop until I say enough.
    4. How to be grateful for what I receive – my dog approaches every treat or blessing that life offers with gratitude and appreciation.
    5. How to be in the moment (in the Now) – my dog does not let anything that has happened in the past have any impact on the present and he never worries about the future.
    6. How to Love unconditionally – my dog always loves me and it has nothing to do with what I do. It is always there for me.

If You Would Like To Open Yourself To The Energy Of Divine Love & The Love That Your Soul Brings To You,
check out my Gift of Love CD Meditation (MP3 Download.)


    7. How to forgive yourself – as quickly as he forgives me he also forgives himself, even if he has done something wrong; as quickly as any of my transgressions are forgiven and forgotten so are his.
    8. How to honestly express his feelings – if he doesn’t like or trust someone, no amount of comforting or commanding will stop the expression of his feelings, he trusts his intuition completely.
    9. How to delight in the simple joys of life – playing – running- sniffing a new smell – whatever the experience, it is approached with a joyful abandon
    10. How to just be – My dog never makes demands of himself or his time, is never self-critical, he enjoys and appreciates just being.

 

Namaste,

Genevieve

P.S. Silky is a Havanese (his breed is from Havana Cuba and is sometimes referred to as a “Havana Silk Dog” and they are hypoallergenic because they have hair like a human.)

Holiday Forgiveness and Gratitude

Thank You, I Love You, Please Forgive Me

What is it that makes the difference and more importantly what can we do to make our experiences of family gatherings fun, joyful and a supportive experience?

Read Thank You, I Love You, Please Forgive Me article by Genevieve Gerard

For some people being together as a family is the joyous, celebratory part of a holiday. For others the events of holiday gatherings are stressful and challenging.

I am reminded of a story my sister-in-law told me several years ago. She was working in retail when a customer asked her what her plans for the holiday were, and she responded by saying the whole family was gathering at her sister-in-law’s home. Her customer began to offer her sympathy, and when she said how much she was looking forward to it, her customer was shocked. My sister-in-law commented that in her family were people she considered her dearest friends. Her customer was surprised and then went on to express the dread of being with her own family.

At the time I remember us being grateful that we had the family we did and the relationship of being both friends and family, not only in loving one another but also in the support and encouragement we shared not only with one another but within the family structure. Today I considered what makes the difference in these two very different experiences of families gathering for the holidays. It seems that these diverse experiences of family life and family gatherings are common. What is it that makes the difference and, more importantly, what can we do to make our experiences of family gatherings fun, joyful and a supportive experience?

When we look at the structure of the family two vital factors come to my mind. They are love and forgiveness. How the love is expressed or all too often not expressed is a significant part of family gatherings and whether or not we leave those events happy and fulfilled or disappointed and frustrated. By the time a family gathers together, there has been a lifetime of experiences. Expectations and what we desire and need from one another have colored our history of family gatherings and unless we consciously do something different the best predictor of what will happen is what has happened in the past.

However, we do not have to be tied to the past. We have the ability to change and transform the dynamic of these events by what we bring to the event in our thoughts and with our actions. We have the power to act rather than merely react. When we take that power, we change our experience and provide the opportunity to heal relationships in ways beyond our imaginings.

Forgiveness is the final form of love.
      ~ Reinhold Niebuhr

One essential key to facilitating transformation of family gatherings is forgiveness, and the other is love. Although there is a great deal that can be said (read my other forgiveness posts) in these two areas instead of thinking and theorizing on these. I suggest a dynamic experiment that you can do. It requires no agreement or participation from anyone else. It is very simple and yet both powerful and empowering. No one needs to know you are doing this.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.
      ~ Lewis B. Smedes

This exercise incorporates the very powerful forces of Love, Forgiveness and Gratitude. They involve saying in your mind specific repetitive phrases when observing the behaviors of those around you. You can shift freely and fluidly between these phrases. You can choose them at will. For as much of the time you are with your family as you find possible, repeat these phrases in your mind. You may find your own variations and expressions of the phrases. Keep repeating the phrases no matter what is happening or what anyone is doing. Beyond using the power of your mind, there is nothing you need to do or say. There is no reason to explain or belabor this, just repeat these phrases in your mind and heart.

The Phrases are:

    Please forgive me
    Thank you
    I love you
    I forgive you
    I forgive myself

You may find other similar thoughts flow through your mind. You may find yourself lured by specifics. Let yourself be freed from your entire past “story” and return to repeating these simple phrases in your mind. The past is over. The future is unwritten. At this moment, right now, just repeat these simple phrases.

The past is over. The future is unwritten.
      ~ Genevieve Gerard

You may observe dramatic changes in others from doing this experiment. You may only experience a change in yourself. You may not see any response or effect. That does not matter.

It is not important to explain or express anything to anyone. The transformation you are creating in this experiment happens on a subtle energetic level. Just return to repeating in your mind the phrases and carry on with what you are doing.

Please continue with this by continuing to repeat these phrases for the duration of your family gathering.

I would love to hear from you about your experience with this experiment. On my website I have a section called Transformation Stories. You are invited to share your experiences there.

Please note: The phrases included here are a minor modification of the teachings of Hoʻoponopono [ho-o-pono-pono] (an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.)

You can find more about this in a book by Dr. Joe Vitale and Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len, titled “Zero Limits”

Thank you,

The Blessing of Love on all that you do.

Namaste

For individuals who enjoy a restful, full nights sleep,
this is a wonderful product. The calming voice of Genevieve Gerard
helps me to sleep before the CD is over. I am sleeping so calmly now that
I have given many friends this CD. We all share the spot where we usually
now peacefully slumber. For me it is the phrase, “Rearrange your covers…”
and I do not hear anything else, nor do I hear it turn off. The most
important thing for me is the good quality of sleep I have obtained
using this CD.”

I will never be the same!”

I especially enjoyed her “Feeling Free Meditation” in which
she teaches a powerful breath and awareness visualization for
transforming feelings. She has a very soothing and comforting
speaking voice which also contributes beautifully to her work.”

Accepting Grace and Forgiveness

Accepting Grace and Forgiveness

graceful swans

The concepts of grace and forgiveness are inextricably tied together in our minds and emotions.

We know grace exists, and on some deep level of our consciousness, we know that the existence of grace has nothing to do with worthiness or deserving.

We know grace, like forgiveness, cannot be earned. We know that these experiences are available but are not really fully understood by us.

Because we have done nothing to deserve the healing power that grace and forgiveness bring into life, for many it is hard to accept.

Rejecting grace, rejecting forgiveness, and especially learning to forgive oneself are key elements in what must be transcended to permit healing. Suffering, dis-ease, keeping oneself separate from others are all manifestations of a mistaken attempt of penance, an attempt that is unnecessary.

Grace and forgiveness do not require you be worthy, they require that you are willing to accept that there is a Higher Power and a part of you that is willing to align with it. Forgiveness and grace are integral parts of Love in action.

You are not perfect, and you are not expected to be perfect. You were created to learn and grow through the adventure of life. Grace and forgiveness are available because God knows you will make mistakes. God offers these things as a demonstration of how God Loves you.

Love, which ultimately has the power to heal us and restore us, is kept away by this same sense of lack of worthiness and separation that deprives us of receiving and accepting both grace and forgiveness. Whatever mistakes one has made in life prior to this very moment in time, it pales in comparison by continuing to reject the opportunity to be forgiven, to be restored to the unity that is available.

We often, as a society and as individuals wrap ourselves in concepts of penance, suffering to the depth of our being in an attempt to earn or to deserve, that which cannot be earned or ever deserved, but is by its very nature and its essence, freely given, grace and forgiveness. This suffering is self-inflicted and completely unnecessary.

You were not created to suffer. You were created to learn and grow and expand your consciousness. You were created to enjoy the many blessings life offers you through a myriad of diverse experiences to grant you happiness and success. These are the gifts of Love. These are the expressions of grace and forgiveness that give you the freedom to have a life fully and abundantly.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
          – Dr. Denis Waitley

The glamour’s, the illusions, the Maya you have built to sustain the sense of separation, has trapped you in a lie. Let us for a moment consider and imagine what our life would be like, what we could accomplish if we allowed ourselves to fully accept the grace that accompanies forgiveness. Come into this moment of powerful potential by imagining that all the mistakes of your life from the past up to this moment of time were erased and totally and completely forgiven. Do you, like me feel tremendous relief and release?

In this moment, right now you can let that which is past be wiped clean. Because it is all in the past as you enter into the now, in this moment you are freed from it all; freed to be fully in this moment, freed to simply be and accept the joy and the Love that releasing your bondage to past events brings. Let the truth free you into this moment of awareness into the redemption that is here for you in the now.

What has been has no power over you. What will be is just emerging.
          – Genevieve Gerard

To further experience and incorporate this blessing, take a moment to align your spine and visualize grace and forgiveness descending from your Soul as radiating golden-white light. Hold out your hands to fully accept and receive this blessing. As that Light descends you are renewed, you are restored. You are forgiven. All the shackles of the past dissolve into nothingness. What has been has no power over you. What will be is just emerging.

Let the illusions all fall away as you enter into this essence of Love, this essence of being. In this moment is the opportunity for truth and in that truth the freedom that is granted by grace, when you let yourself accept the forgiveness and Love that is the true and essential nature of life.

Embrace and enfold this grace and forgiveness into the very essence of your being and know that unlimited possibility and potential are available for you, NOW, and from this moment forward.

Grace and Forgiveness article image

Take a moment to celebrate and enjoy the grace and forgiveness that are freely available to you. Let yourself receive the Love that is available for you. Let your heart be filled with joy. Claim that joy as your own as you let yourself receive the unlimited potential that life offers you.

From this moment of Grace and this blessing of forgiveness consider how you can share this power and this blessing with others. Love freely. Forgive easily and let your life become a demonstration of the grace which you have received.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve Gerard

Light Has the POWER Over the Dark

Light Has the Power Over the Dark

Let the Light Empower You by Genevieve Gerard

As the last breath of darkness surrenders to the Light of the dawn, I am reminded that the Light has the power over the dark.

As a single candle can dispel the darkness, positive thoughts in our mind can dispel the fears that try to hold us captive.

Each time we assert our dominion over the tyranny of fear or hate we strengthen the Divine Light within us.

And as surely as the Sun chases the night from the sky, so our affirming and embracing positive thoughts activates the law of the universe that energy follows thought, which places the power for our life firmly in our hands.

In times of troubles and problems, it is important to remember that Divine Light can dispel the darkness. Indeed, a single candle claims victory over darkness.

As you face within your life, situations and problems that may seem to overwhelm you and diminish and discourage you it is important to remember, that things always look darkest just before the dawn.

Each new day is an opportunity to put the past behind you. Each new day brings new possibilities and new opportunities. You are not the victim of your past. In fact, the past should fade away with the birth of each new day.

With each new day you have a dynamic opportunity to start anew and shed the mistakes and problems that have limited your past. The power of the Light is in the power to change and transform your life.

But you must open to the Divine Light. You must shed the limiting beliefs and fears that are holding you back from all of the unlimited possibilities that are becoming available in the creative expansion of opening your heart and your mind, your eyes, and your ears to what is possible for you.

When you want to change your life you only need to change your mind, change your perspective and all of a sudden with that decision new opportunities can be revealed. What is available is different because you are different. You can shed the fears and limitations that have held you captive by deciding to.

Never underestimate the power of making a decision. The harnessing and invoking of your will opens your awareness, much like the rising of the sun opens you to a new vision. The way your life has been in the past is not a dictator of the present and is certainly not the dictator of the future, a future that is unformed and has not yet unfolded.

Light has the power over the dark blog image

 

 

Within each dawn and within each new day is a principle of creation that is an ignition that holds the power of possibility. However, it is within you, within your heart and within your mind that the magic must take place.

It is up to you to determine if you will use the Light to make things visible or allow the darkness to flavor your day.

 

Here are a few simple affirmations that you may wish to use while you initiate the brilliant power of the Light in your life, by activating your will and opening to the Light of potential, the Light of possibilities, and the Light of Hope and promise.

Today Affirmations

  1. Today, I consciously and with intention realize that the past is now past and has no power or sway over me.
  2.  

  3. Today, I choose to Light my way by expanding my awareness of the creative power I hold by opening my heart and mind to the Light.
  4.  

  5. Today, I claim the power of hope and open my life to create the life I desire and the life I envision.

     

                   – GG

 

The energy of Light has power over the dark. Use that illumination to transform your life by opening to the blessings that flow freely to you with the miracle of the radiant Light every day.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Day after Day

“I use Gift of Love as my morning meditation. It’s pretty amazing how much Genevieve has put into such a short meditation but it serves to set the tone for my day.

I like the bell tones in the beginning and use her words, “Calm your mind, open your heart, invite the light” throughout the day as a sort of mantra. The mantra is particularly useful when I am confronted with family members who are afraid or in pain. I have a variety of meditations available to me but find myself returning to this one day after day. I wait patiently for the final flourish of tones at the end.”

Gift of Love is Right!

“I really enjoyed this meditation. It was much more than I expected and brought me into an awareness of just how connected we are to Spirit when we calm our minds and open our hearts.

The charge of love energy I felt was so tangible that I felt filled with it. A staggering amount of this love energy is available to us whenever we need it, if we only allow ourselves to connect and receive it. I’m doing this daily now and have seen positive changes in my life. Thank you Genevieve, for this wonderful gift.”
