The Omnipresent Sound of the OM

A number of years ago I traveled to India.

My decision to go to India was inspired first by intermittent but persistent guidance in my meditations when I seemed to receive an injunction to go to India.

At first, I dismissed this thought as a part of my mind chatter as I entered into meditation.

After all, I rationalized, meditation is universal and not limited by the constraints of time and place. Still, that quiet voice repeated time and again the direction, “Go to India”.

When a spiritual friend and fellow energy healer Dr. Steve Hinkey was giving a workshop in my home, he said he was going to India and had the opportunity to meet with some of the top Mahamandaleshwar leaders in the Hindi religion and did I wish to go? A “Mahamandaleshwar” means “Superior of great and/or numerous monasteries” or “Superior of a religious district or province” (maha = great, mandala = district, ishwara = head, sovereign), they hold a position similar to a Cardinal in the Chruch. Immediately my injunction was recalled to me and I realized that this is what I had been guided to do.

When I first arrived in India, from the moment that my feet touched Indian soil, I realized that something was different.

There was an energy that I could not find the words to name, that was unique to the land of India. This subtle and profound energy had a significant impact on me and upon my meditations immediately, despite the fact that my friend Steve said the hotel I had booked for us had landed us in the middle of one of the most impoverished ghettos of Asia. Still, we were safe, and it was clean despite the material lack of the people around us.

Immediately I noticed a significant shift in the quality, depth, and tenor of my meditations. At that time, I assumed that what I was feeling was a new development in my meditative life.

After all, my logical mind contended, how could a place impact my interior spiritual meditative life?

I observed the changes and transformations in my meditations from the role of a dispassionate observer. I enjoyed the graciousness and generosity of the people of India throughout my travels. I saw as one does with travel, many beautiful and amazing things. I engaged in new experiences and new relationships, bonding deeply with many with whom I felt deep and karmic bonds of love and energetic connections of love and spiritual community.

My friend Steve and I spent a week at the ashram of Mahamandaleshwar Swami Nityananda called Shanti Mandar, providing, as our Sava (service), energetic healing for many of the Brahmin boys who were there to learn the Vedic tradition at the ashram, as well as for a variety of Australians who had come for a scheduled trip with Nityananda (a journey for spiritual awareness).

We must dive deeper within ourselves,
we must become established in the knowledge of the Truth.
– Mahamandaleshwar Swami Nityananda

We chanted, meditated and enjoyed the energy of India, a place where the eons of spiritual striving and practice seem to have imbued the very earth itself with spiritual energy.

Throughout this time, no matter where we traveled and no matter what we did, I became aware of something I had never felt before, something I had been unable to access back in my home in America, until my experience in India.

It is that of which I write today: The Omnipresent Presence of the OM.

Beyond the Sound of the OM

According to legend, the sound of the OM is the sound created when all sounds are combined. Spiritually sounding of the OM is an often-taught tradition that crosses many lines of diverse disciplines. The OM is sounded to clear energy from one’s chakras, to send forth the energies contacted in both group and individual meditations, and to help meditators achieve various desired states of meditation.

All of this I have done and used throughout my 50-plus years of the practice of meditation, but what I am describing today is beyond that or an expansion of the regular use of the sounding of the OM.

It is an awareness of energy which can be accessed and utilized when engaging in the physical sounding of the OM, whether sounded firmly and clearly, or whispered, or sounded silent. It is the sound of the Omnipresence of the OM.

This Omnipresence of the OM embraces and includes everyone and everything as celestial music of the spheres. It resounds within the silence, the silence that is within all sound. It links us to the power of the Word and connects us with Universal Source.

This Omnipresent Presence of the OM holds within it the power to create.

It is both mystical and magical. It is both Universal and the thrumming of all of life force on earth.

When you use the sound of the OM in your meditation you are choosing to consciously open and align your life force with energies that are beyond what is physical and material, but resides in what is Spiritual, transcendent and eternal. The OM calls that to you.
– Genevieve Gerard

I invite you now to calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light, to bring to you this resounding sound that connects you with your Soul, with all that you are and all you will ever be and all that you have ever been, in this sound.

Relax into it. Tune in to it. Let yourself enjoy it and receive it and stay with this experience for as long as feels right for you to do so.

Then take some time in quiet and reflection to feel what this experience brings, to become aware of the world beyond your physical hearing and enter into the joy of Oneness with the Universal Presence and pervading Love that travels on the waves of the Omnipresent OM.

It is available to you in the Eternal Now for your healing, for your joy, and for your empowerment. You are a beloved child of the Universe and this Omnipresence of the Om is your portal.

Many schools and systems of meditation use the sacred sound of the Om to ground the energies and insights that are accessed and received in meditation.

As the sound of the OM is explained as the sound created by the unity of all sound, so it is also a symbol of Unity in general.

Utilizing the sound of the OM in meditation brings your consciousness the awareness of the Oneness of all sentient consciousness. Sentient consciousness is more Universal than simply human consciousness. Focusing on the Universal sound of the OM opens awareness and residence with a sense of connection and unity that aligns you with Light, Love, and power that resides just beyond your usual perception.

The gift of the omnipresent sound of the OM is that through the simple act of you sounding the OM, you can align your consciousness to this thrumming that lies in the heart of all sound.

How to Use the OM In Your Meditations

The OM can be used as a sounding and entry point for meditation by using it as a way to center your energies as you “Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Invite the Light.” This is the instruction and intention that I suggest that you use to open your awareness to receive the Presence of your enlightened awareness, your Higher Self, (your Soul).

To use the sacred sound of the OM as an entry point to your meditation, you simply sound it. Many schools of meditation suggest sounding it 3 times. Other schools of meditation suggest sounding it repeatedly until you have noticed your consciousness opening.

Whether you use it before simply sitting calmly, quietly and receptively, or choose to combine it with a guided meditation is a choice you can make.

The sound of the OM begins at your diaphragm and then let the sound rise through your whole body. Groups who use the repetitive sound of the OM in group meditation create a sound that aligns with what is known as “the Music of the spheres.”

Some suggest that the sound of the OM is the sound of the Soul, although I experience as an underlying thrum of Creative force that brings us into alignment and awareness of the Creator, Universal Soul, and Universal Love.

The OM can also be used to ground and complete your meditation. For many meditators, it is the final sound that acts as an Amen, or So Be It invocation to the energies that have been accessed in the meditation experience.

I suggest that you use and experiment with the Omnipresent sound of the OM with a spirit of joyful playfulness and open receptivity to your Soul.

Namaste,

BEFORE YOU RISE… CONNECT

Genevieve Gerard

Before You Rise… CONNECT

When you waken in the morning, there is a fertile time before you rise that can be used to connect, align and empower your life.

As you lie in bed, before you let your mind start its endless chatter take a deep breath, settle your body back into the mattress and take a moment to gather Love into your heart.

As you gather that Love and appreciate and enjoy the peaceful sensation that it brings, with the speed of thought, imagine from your heart Love flowing out to touch the lives of all you will connect with today and as your loving energy touches them let it magnetize to you all who you can truly serve today and bring to you, those who can serve you.

If you are enjoying this sensation, as I often do, let your mind drift gently to awareness of the support you can draw from this quiet moment as you align your life with your Soul purpose and gather around you and be receptive and connect to the love your Soul brings to you.

You might wish to add to this brief interlude consideration of things for which you are grateful.

Then move on to your life activities and your day and this connection can bring you strength and support throughout the day.

Namaste

WATCHING THE WATER FLOW BY

Genevieve Gerard

Watching the Water Flow By

As I sit in my meditation chair, just outside is a canal of water.

To watch the water flow by in its endless exchange of energy with the sea is very peaceful and calms my mind.

It is said in Wisdom teachings that you can never step into the same river twice.

The ever flowing nature of water is also ever changing as life is ever changing, yet in one of those profound ironies that so influence our comprehension of the world, there is continuity, sameness to the flow of the waters of our life.

It seems in observing the flow of water, in and out from the ocean; back and forth with the tide we can better understand the nature of time and the mystery of the eternal NOW.” – Genevieve Gerard

The waters of life flow through our life and get divided into categories like past and future but remain present in the moment, in the NOW.

This continuity of consciousness like the water provides both the opportunity for sameness and the opportunity for possibility and potential as yet untapped.

This continuous flow whether it be of the water or life events creates awareness that in any moment everything can change. This potential, and the promise of this possibility, is part of the power of living in the moment.

The potential and promise of change brings hope and excitement to the adventure of our life while being in the moment releases us from the past freeing us from the burden of what has been while we are able to receive the joy of being in the NOW.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

The Happiness Habit

Genevieve Gerard

The Happiness Habit

So much of our thoughts and our behaviors are habitual that bringing our awareness to what we think, and what we feel is important.

Observing our thoughts, our feelings from an objective, dispassionate perspective is an important task. I call this role, the dispassionate observer.

From the centered place of awareness that is dispassionately observing what you are thinking, what you are feeling and how you are acting, you can become the director of your life rather than a reactive observer.

Observing with awareness, without judgment, is the first step to a level of awareness that enhances your consciousness and gives you the keys to creating the life that you desire.

Your first step is to decide that you choose to be happy. Then you can begin to build into your life what makes you happy. Happiness is something you bring to life more than something that happens to you.

How you react to what happens to you is often much more important than what actually happens to you.
– Genevieve Gerard

In that process of reaction lays the power to choose to create your life or be a victim of your life. In that process of choice, a habit can play a vital role. Becoming aware of your thoughts and your feelings is an essential part of harnessing your power to be who you wish to be and how you wish to be perceived by others.

Biological research and biochemical research shows us that our subtle physical responses impact our body, and our mind and emotions. For example, smiling, releases the biochemical endorphins and hormones that are associated with happiness. Creating a habit of putting on a happy face and smiling begins to create the feelings of happiness.

Old songs such as, “Smile and the World Smiles with You” and the peppy tune Of “Put on a Happy Face” all provide a clue to this “Secret” of happiness that you can use for your wellbeing.

A smile, given to another is most often greeted naturally with a smile, so in this way you are sharing happiness into the world by developing your own happiness.

If you add to your quest to build happiness into a habit in your life, by being consciously aware of your unconscious negative “mind chatter” and choose to monitor and then harness the power of your mind and the power of your thoughts, you are well on your way. Again, using the technique of the dispassionate observer to acknowledge what your mind chatter is spewing out and then, make a conscious decision to edit and correct negative thinking into positive intended thinking you are well on your way to being the creator (not just observer) of your experience and building a habit of happiness.

A brief poem by an old friend of mine, Bernie Gunther says “There’s a positive side and negative side and at each moment you decide.” By deciding to be happy, to be hopeful, and to harness the power of your thoughts you have taken an important and vital step to living a happier and more joyous life.

Using your body in ways that stimulate the biochemistry to work for your conscious choice to be happy, then monitoring and controlling your thoughts to positive and hopeful messages to yourself are ways to bring into your life a mastery of your body-mind relationship that not only increases your happiness but reduces your stress.

These little techniques of the habit of happiness are powerful and life transforming. The more you use them, the easier they become and the happier you become. They are a simple yet effective way to change your life by changing your mind and your habits that use the integration of our mind, our emotions, our body and ultimately our creative higher self to transform our lives. Happiness is a state of mind, you decide.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Simple Joys in Life

Genevieve Gerard

Simple Joys in Life

If we look around us and remain open and aware there are a myriad of little blessings and simple joys for which we can be grateful.

Perhaps it is the rare combination of colors in the sky as a dark cloud blends with a pink cloud at sunrise.

Perhaps it is the cool movement of the air on your face on a warm day.

Perhaps it is the waif of perfume in the air as you pass by a blooming bush.

These little blessings of beauty and nature make up the miracle of life.

We only need to open our eyes to see the gifts that abound all around us. These are the simple joys in life.
– Genevieve Gerard

And, as we express our gratitude whether outwardly or just within our own hearts we expand our experience of joy and celebrate the wonder that can bring us happiness in the midst of life’s challenges.

Today, see how many little blessings you can find as you move through your life. Appreciate them and express your gratitude for them. Then notice how much more serene and content you feel when you recognize the simple joys in life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

How To Forgive Yourself

Genevieve Gerard

How To Forgive Yourself MP3

Let Go Of The Past and Release Your Pain And Sorrow

Forgiveness is an act that can do more to transform your life than any other tool in the quest for enlightenment, awareness and joy.

Learning to forgive yourself unlocks a power and a potential in your life that you have only dreamed of as possible.
It is through forgiveness that you become free, free to accept, enjoy and embrace the life you have spent countless hours wishing for, praying for.

Until you address this important life lesson, you are held back from moving into the full potential of your power to manifest and create your life by clinging to thoughts and feelings of shame, of guilt. It may be your belief that you do not deserve the happiness you seek because of some great wrong or mistake of the past. It is by forgiveness, most importantly self-forgiveness that you can finally be free of the past.

You hold the power to unlock the cage that has been imprisoning you. By focusing upon the conscious work of self-forgiveness you can choose to transform your life.

MP3 Download Special Pricing:

Download Now For Only $8.88

This visualization guides you step-by-step through a process and perspective, which with your heartfelt intention and attention can open your life to all of the new possibilities that are available to you.

Because old sorrows, guilt, and shame are deeply embedded in your consciousness, you may need to, or wish to do this visualization many times offering up new insights and realization into the freedom of self-forgiveness.

Unpeeling the layers of illusion, glamor, misunderstanding, and misinterpretation that have kept you imprisoned in the past requires turning on the Light so you can see clearly and come into the opportunities and awareness that have not been clear to you before.

I invite you to embrace this adventure with the anticipation and expectation that the rest of your life can be the best of your life as you sever the bonds that have held you back for way too long.”
– Genevieve Gerard

This visualization offers you the tools and techniques I have used in my own spiritual journey to find freedom and be open to and experience transcendent peace and joy.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be of service to you.

Independence Day 2013: Freedom

Genevieve Gerard

Independence Day 2013

Freedom of Forgiveness

Today is the 4th of July; a day that all across the United States the concept of freedom is pondered and considered.

This concept is very powerful and in the years since our Forefathers espoused the principles of governance to guide the emerging nation that became our country freedom has been a constant principle, sometimes misused, sometimes misunderstood and yet it remains a deep principle and tenet of our consciousness.

The freedom to do, the freedom to say, the freedom to think and the freedom to be are all cornerstones of the awareness of modern man all around the planet.
Today as I meditate and ponder upon these weighty concepts I am aware of a kind of freedom that comes not from a governmental system but rather from our individual heart, mind and Soul. That is the freedom to forgive ourselves.

It is not unusual that I would think of this as I have been working on creating meditations on Self-Forgiveness for a variety of different groups in a variety of circumstances of life events. But as I ponder the concept of Freedom as the dawn breaks over the skies of a 4th of July, the freedom to forgive oneself and to free oneself from the endless toxic cycle of self-judgment and recrimination seems to be important.

All too often our thoughts and feelings are trapped in self-blame, self-doubt and shame that not only limits our ability to be free but destroys our hope, our promise and our potential to both give and receive love.

This lack of self-forgiveness, this blame game we all play to varying degrees, disconnects us from those around us, separates and isolates us and denies both us and others of the Love that we all so desperately need and desire. It serves no purpose for all that you have ever done and all that has ever been done to you is in the past. It is only by your lack of self-forgiveness or forgiveness of the other that it is brought into the present to contaminate what is truly happening and deprive you of the peace the love and the joy that life is offering you in the now, in this moment, here and now today.

As we celebrate with family and friends the freedoms we enjoy, I invite you to add a new freedom to enjoy, the freedom from self-judgment, self-blame and self-recrimination.” – Genevieve Gerard

To do this I invite you into the present, into this moment of time. Consciously and with intention realize that the past is past. It cannot invade or influence this moment of time unless you invite it in. In the moment you have the power and the freedom to be released from any and all pain and circumstance in life that has come before.

Let yourself enter into the freedom that this moment grants by both expanding your awareness into this moment of time and confining your awareness to this moment of time. In this moment the past is both dissolved and resolved. In this moment all you have ever experience can be released because it is in the past. You are free from it. You are unfettered and released in the awareness that because it is in the past it cannot be altered or changed, but it can be forgiven.

In this moment is a magic that lays before you a future that has not been written that holds a potential and a promise that everything can be different and new from everything that has ever come before. This power is available to you as you enter into the reality and realization of what is truth, without the distortion of the past. Accepting this moment, while releasing and forgiving what has been, while opening yourself to all that can be, all that can happen in this ongoing adventure of life.

Shedding the past as the worn out garment you have worn and worried too long invites you into NOW and gives you true freedom, the freedom to be and the freedom to become all that you have ever longed to be.

Accept this freedom, release the past through self-forgiveness and embrace the full possibility of your life to celebrate true independence.

Happy Independence Day. Today is truly the first day of the rest of your life. Go forth freed from past errors and mistakes to fulfill you higher purpose and destiny.

Namaste

Wealth and Abundance

Genevieve Gerard

Differentiating between

Wealth and Abundance

Recently, while I was talking with a spiritual friend of mine he shared an insight a mutual friend of ours had that felt very significant. That insight is that many of us when focusing on manifesting our needs don’t understand the difference between wealth and abundance.

Often the lives of those who follow the principles of the Law of Attraction have lives of great and glorious abundance. What they may not have is abundance of wealth. What they may need is wealth. If you think of your own life, as I thought about mine through this filter, there may be a significant shift in your energy. Manifesting wealth is very different from manifesting abundance.

There are many wealthy people who lack abundance and as many spiritual people know there are many whose lives are overflowing with abundance that lack the wealth necessary for their needs.

Take a moment and consider and review your own life within the context of these two very different energies. Ponder upon which you need and which you need to manifest in your life. If you already have an abundant life take a minute to realize that and express your gratitude. If what you need is to manifest greater wealth then shift your words and intention when you practice your meditation or prayer and visualize with this clear differentiation in mind.

If what you need is to manifest greater wealth then shift your words and intention when you practice your meditation or prayer and visualize with this clear differentiation in mind.” – Genevieve Gerard

This subtle change, this subtle shift, will unleash great change in your life. Words possess great power and using the word that truly reflects what you need, especially when working with the Law of Attraction is very important. Consider this differentiation between abundance and prosperity. Remember that energy follows thought. Consider what you need and what you desire so your message to your Higher Self and your message to Source can be both accurate and clear.

Ponder on this and realign your thoughts to ask for what you need. This increased clarity can only enhance your ability to manifest in your life. Take a moment and comment about this below.

Find The Truth

Genevieve Gerard

Find The Truth

-The difference between a feeling and a fact

Recently, in conversations that reflected emotional pain, sorrow, and confusion, I came to the realization that we often confuse our feelings with facts.

Just because you feel something, does not make it true.

A feeling only is valid as a feeling. For something to be true requires a higher standard of proof than just being felt.

Too often it seems that reality is perceived only through the lens of our feelings and evaluating the truth of a situation is ignored. To so highly weigh our emotions while ignoring the input of our minds is to place our being out of balance. This over-reliance on one part of our being is every bit as dangerous to our growth and development as it would be to ignore our feelings.

To ignore or repress what we feel through denial or inhibition stifles and restrains the free flow of energy that enables us to express and live a life of joy. Likewise to over-value and over-emphasize our feelings disrupt our ability to live in joy because a feeling is not a fact or a truth.

In order to live fully, joyfully and expressively, we must use and integrate our whole being; our body, our emotions and our mind. If we evaluate any given situation from the perspective of what I call the dispassionate observer, the Higher Self, then we are able to determine the truth of a situation. This very act of consideration of truth changes the tenor of our feelings and our thoughts to deliver the nexus of control into our mind and our ability to understand and evaluate a situation in a way that is liberating and empowering.

To be caught up in only our emotions, ignoring the blessing and benefit of our minds is to face life’s challenges deprived of the amazing tools of consciousness, awareness, and discrimination.
– Genevieve Gerard

These are important skills to develop along the adventure of life. To grow, to mature, to develop and to become all that you can be and to manifest all that you are meant to be, you cannot leave any of the important skills of life or tools lying on the shelf, unused.

Repressing emotions leads to a great deal of dis-ease and disaster. Likewise, over-valuing and overemphasizing emotions lead to emotional pain because the validity of the truth of a situation is ignored.

You need to use all of your skills and abilities as a human being to consider and evaluate a situation, recognizing and validating the truth of a feeling, as a feeling, but then considering truth in its higher aspect of your mind and perspective to understand in a way that relieves and reduces the pain of the emotion by granting you a greater comprehension and wisdom with which to evaluate and respond to the event or circumstance that created the feeling in the first place. Ponder on this!

This willingness to consider the truth of a situation and to evaluate happenings and circumstances from the perspective, insight and wisdom of your Higher Self, by considering what situation created the feeling is a path to freedom from being tyrannized by your emotions to letting yourself have the full power and glory of your emotions, without giving control of your life to your emotions.

This calling upon the wisdom, the understanding and perspective of the Higher Self is a time-honored technique of meditation when in quiet you call upon the wholeness of your being, your mind, your emotions and ultimately your Soul to consider and evaluate, from the perspective of the dispassionate observer, the truth.

All of us can do this by sitting quietly as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light, breathing deeply, entering into the peace of the moment of time, letting go of the past and coming to the reality of a situation, as you consider whether what you are feeling is indeed true, or only a feeling.

Although the feeling may be completely valid as a feeling, considering the truth of a situation, from the perspective of your mind, there is greater understanding and, the energy shifts. This is the advantage of using the objective observer and your mind and your Soul to consider the truth and validity of a feeling.

If the feeling does not stand up to evaluation, then you are freed from all of the pain that was being generated by the feeling because you know it is not true. It is only a feeling and you can move forward in your awareness reassured that you can have the unlimited expression of your emotions without letting your emotions have you or rule you.

Ponder upon this and try this as a part of your meditation experience.

Father’s Day Prayer

Genevieve Gerard

A Father’s Day Prayer for Prosperity

When Jesus walked the earth, slightly more than 2000 years ago his teaching and preaching transformed humanity’s understanding about God, and more importantly about our relationship with God by using the analogy that right relationship with God was as with a loving Father.

In so doing, he taught us that the nature of God is love. He described God not as a distant cruel and uninvolved Divine entity as God had been understood since the time of Abraham but rather as a loving and caring God, a God whose blessing upon his creation was generous and available.

In the age that has passed since this teaching was imparted, the recognition of the nature of God as Love has permeated worship and prayer when we turn to God for help in our life we turn to God as our Father. God, the Father is the cornerstone of the Trinity and as demonstrated in the petition of the Lord’s Prayer, the giver of prosperity as well as grace and forgiveness. God as Father and God as the one who bestows our many blessings are now ingrained in the consciousness of most people as they seek right relationship with God.

This being said, Father’s Day 2019 is a fitting time to express our gratitude to both our worldly Father but also our heavenly Father. As we consider what Erik Fromm described in his famous book The Art of Loving, “a Father’s love is integrally focused to supporting success and prosperity.”

Therefore, as a day to express our gratitude to our earthly Father is celebrated in the United States it seems appropriate and fitting to turn our thoughts to material success and the principle of abundance by sharing this prayer for Father’s Day.

Prayer for Prosperity

My Father/God, I place all my dependence in You,
affirming that You are the giver of every good and perfect gift.

You are the source of my being and
You are the source of all of my supply.

ALL that I shall ever need now and throughout my life
is in your Divine mind for me and has been
prepared for me from the beginning.

Omnipresent substance,
the garment with which you clothe your entire universe and
with which you nourish all of Your creation, is also
mine to have and to use for my every desire and
for the blessing of others of your children.

I open myself fully through my faith in You,
through my vision of Your abundance,
through my expectation if its manifestation for me.

I open my hands, my pocketbook, my wardrobe, my business,
my bank account, and from Your rich storehouse,
You fill every vessel that I hold out to You full to
overflowing with Your own omnipresent good and
in Your own good measure, pressed down,
shaken together, running over.

I thank You my Father that through the Christ in me,
I can touch Your omnipresent substance and
my entire world be clothed with Your opulence.

I praise and give thanks that now and throughout eternity,
I am ONE with You and in that union,
all Yours is mine and all mine is Yours, forever and ever.

So Be it, It shall be so.

Amen

– Genevieve Gerard

This prayer was freely adapted from an old prayer of the Unity Church. The original prayer can be found in Robert Colliers Book Riches Within My Reach published by Robert Collier Publications Inc., 1984.

As we celebrate Father’s Day this prayer is offered to help and support prosperity as Father’s work and strive to provide a life for their families and children filled with abundance.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Soul Purpose

Genevieve Gerard

The Joy of Expressing Your Soul Purpose

Recently, I was having a conversation about expressing your soul purpose with one of my dear friends. The dialogue prompted me to write this blog post on the joy of expressing your soul purpose.

Each of us has within us a sense of our true purpose in life, the reason for which we entered into life and donned the garments of a body, emotions, and mind. Having experienced life many times throughout the ages, we knew that we would be presented with challenges and lessons as we journeyed on our quest.

These challenges we accepted, these lessons we desired knowing they would nurture our development and allow us to grow and become and be a material expression of our essential being.

Having tread before the path of life we know there are dangers and pitfalls along the way. These we accept and acknowledge as we enter into incarnation before we forget who we truly are and what we truly are.

When we touch that purpose and express that purpose we are filled with a sense of joy. We are filled with the excitement of the promise and potential of life.

We can use that joy, that excitement, that delight, as a signal and direction from our Soul that we are fulfilling our purpose, our reason for living in this time, in this place, in this NOW. When we are aligned with our Soul purpose and manifesting our life purpose, fulfilling our hearts desire we are granted the strength of perseverance. We are fortified to stand even when others deny our purpose or fail to support us.

The support of our Soul and the joy that it bestows is sufficient to our need and carries us forward.
– Genevieve Gerard

It connects us to Source and provides for us in ways that are often miraculous and unexpected. When we transcend our fears and release our attachments and enter into this relationship with our Soul and surrender to manifesting in the world the work and service we have come to do we begin to live in joy and possess a peace that truly passes understanding.

Therefore, follow your bliss; and let your joy be your guide. Only you can fulfill you purpose in life. Celebrate that truth. Enjoy this adventure we call life wherever the road may go. It is your destiny.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Living In Joy Workshop

Genevieve Gerard

Living In Joy Workshop

April 3rd, 2016 in Boca Raton, FL

9:00am—1:00pm (gather at 8:30am)

Explore & Experience
Living In Joy

Are you living in joy? Genevieve Gerard wants to share with you the joy of life that is your birthright and empower you to heal and transform your life to be all that you can be. Her work utilizes the techniques of awareness, visualization, release and meditation as she guides you through transformation into joy. Let Genevieve guide you to follow your heart, your mind and your soul, to celebrate the joy that fulfilling your purpose and finding your place in the plan of life will bring to you.

In this workshop you will be guided to discover, perceive, and appreciate joy in your life.

Among the subjects we will cover are:

how to attract and feel more joy in our lives,
the relationship between gratitude and joy,
how we can enhance our interpersonal relationships to create joy

And how meditation, a sense of oneness with life and our ability to “be in the now” can play a role in finding joy and embracing it in our experience.

You will learn new ways to find grace through forgiveness, and you will be given tools to release negative thoughts and emotions. Genevieve will show you how being in the now, conquering negative self-talk and releasing expectations, frees you from the toxic influence of living with “shoulds” and “oughts”, thus releasing joy and love into your life and into your relationships.

The wisdom revealed in this workshop is rooted in the rich soil of experience Genevieve gained over decades of spiritual study and practice that have brought her to a life of profound joy. It is her deep desire that the potential of a life of joy and celebration that seems to elude so many people can become a reality for you, now and forever.
