-The Dynamic Power of Defining Yourself

You are the most important person you will talk to today.

And, most of that talk is self-talk.

Ironically the most compelling aspect of your self-talk comes in the form of how you define yourself, both in your conversations with others, but most importantly to yourself, in your mind.

Your thoughts are powerful. They direct the creative influence of your mind. Please don’t waste them. Instead, I invite you to use them and to actively put them to work for your benefit on your behalf.

To empower your thoughts more efficiently, there are a few things essential to an understanding of the subtle energy of the world and how the process of creating and manifesting works.

In recent times, the ways that thoughts can influence matter has become known as “The Law of Attraction.”

Now, the Law of Attraction is not new, but it has, in recent times, gained great publicity. Still, despite being the subject of much explanation and discussion for many, it remains a concept that may seem magical and mysterious.

There are many levels and many layers to Universal Laws like the Law of Attraction and the active principle that “Energy Follows Thought” that may make it a challenge to use in a practical application in your life. Since this is a subject that has fascinated me for a long time, you will find several links to previous articles and blogs on the topic at the end of this post.

I invite you to consider and explore these posts that I mentioned above. Then I encourage you to take ideas from these posts, of the various techniques and tools that are available, to experiment with them in your life to enhance and empower your life. They may stimulate your thoughts to fly out to provide direction for the creation of your life experiences.

I believe your thoughts are the impetus for creating opportunities and also for creating challenges.

How You Define Yourself

However, where you can observe this manifestation of the principle that “energy follows thought” and the results of what you invoke with The Law of Attraction are most clearly revealed in how you define yourself.

The issue of self-definition is a vital place to focus your conscious attention to make sure that who you are becoming as a result of your thinking is who you want to become.

When we focus our attention on ourselves, we evaluate and compare our current behavior to our internal standards and values. We become self-conscious as objective evaluators of ourselves.
– Psychologists Shelley Duval and Robert Wicklund’s theory of self-awareness

Bruce Lee also stated, “As you think, so shall you become.”

Now, this is not new wisdom. It is a teaching as old as the Bible. It is expressed in the book of Proverbs with the phrase, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Somehow lately it seems to be a new concept. Perhaps it is a truth that each new generation must discover it for themselves.

Perhaps it may appear to be just too simple to be true. While it may sound simple, as you begin to attempt to use this wisdom to transform and empower your life, even if it is simple does not mean it is easy.

The nature of the rambling thoughts of self-criticism and fear make it valuable to be aware of what you are creating with the power of your mind.
– Genevieve Gerard

Your mind is such a mighty force that it has stored every definition of yourself you have ever set up in its “creative database.” That also includes ways in which other people have defined you. The seemingly simple statements, even when delivered playfully or as a part of teasing, go into the “database” of self-definition and may get replayed in your mind as a part of your identity.

This factor is why with children who are in the process of self-identification, it is crucial not to be demeaning when you correct them — even overheard descriptions of them (rather than just an annoying behavior) is damaging. Words have power!

In times of success or achievement, those definitions of self that are positive tend to be replaced, and likewise, in times of mistakes or failures, the negative descriptions get replayed as a part of the mind’s uncontrolled and undisciplined “chatter.” Built-up criticism and judgment may become damaging when replayed in the minds “chatter.”

Unfortunately, the computer of the mind follows the same rule as modern technology “garbage in garbage out.” Therefore, to have a positive impact on your life, you must become conscious of how you are defining yourself. Fortunately, you can use this same axiom to positively empower your life, “constructive in and confident out.”

Self-Talk

Consider your thoughts to be like a blueprint for what you are choosing to build into being in your life. By consciously planning what you desire, you enhance the ability to create who you are becoming with care and consideration. This potent force is especially significant when you are using a statement that defines who and what you are.

So, one way to use this information to improve and transform your life is to consciously consider the words you use to describe who you are. In so doing, you are welding the positive “I Am” power.

Before you define yourself by making an “I Am” statement, take a brief pause to consider whether what you are saying with your thoughts or your words is congruent with who and what you are striving to become.

If it is, you can reinforce your ability to be and become all that you are meant to be by adding the thought energy of intention and affirmation to that “I Am” statement. Defining yourself in this way helps empower you to manifest all of the success you dream of achieving.

This technique unlocks the power of affirmations. I Am statements have a significant influence in defining what you are becoming.

This self-affirmation has proven to be a useful offset to self-criticism. When we hear a voice saying we’re inferior or deficient, psychologist Leon Seltzer of Del Mar, California recommends that we try to see the evidence that refutes it in our mind’s eye. Affirmations can revise the negative messages we hear—or think we hear—from the voices of authority figures in our lives unable to show that they believed in us.

“Use story editing to stop reverting to that negative cycle over and over again,” advises Timothy Wilson, a social psychologist at the University of Virginia and the author of Redirect: The Surprising New Science of Psychological Change. A story edit offers a way to reframe or revise a negative experience.

If what you are thinking is not who and what you want to be, stop the thought immediately and reframe and re-define who you are. Edit the idea and consciously create and confirm the definition of yourself that you desire.

Once you are sure, you have crafted the statement to reflect who you are striving to become, add to it your intention and your affirmation. If this is a newer and better definition of who you are, write it down as an affirmation and then work it into your conversations with others as many time as you can naturally over the next few hours and then the next few days until it becomes a part of your word patterns and your “story.”

If it is a change that is easy for you, this will be enough. However, if you think you need an extra added power or boost, then affirm the “I Am” statement while looking at yourself in a mirror, and anytime throughout your day that you catch a reflection of yourself.

Make sure each of your “I Am” statements are positive and reflect who you desire to be or become. The more of a challenge the reframed new definition of you is, the more that it will benefit from repetition and affirmation. In this way, practice helps the dynamic process of manifestation to fulfill the potential of the thought.

This technique can be tried in many aspects of your life. Approach it with an attitude of joyful playfulness and experimentation to see how many ways you can reframe and transform your life. This technique can have broad implications on self-mastery and self-confidence.

I would love to hear about how you have used this method to create a better life.

Claim Your Destiny

Genevieve Gerard

It Is Never Too Late to Claim Your Destiny

From your times of childhood dreams and desires, a sense of destiny may have teased your mind.

Throughout your life, you may have argued with yourself to put aside those thoughts of destiny, telling yourself that, “life is what happens to you.” I believe the rest of that statement is, “while you are making other plans.”

Indeed, a great deal happens in life! If you simply expected life to lead your destiny it may seem fulfilling that sense of destiny was possible when you dared to dream.

But then life happened. You made choices that didn’t work out the way you planned. You made mistakes. You began to no longer trust yourself, or more seriously to trust your life to lead you to your destiny. You may have lost hope, become discouraged, become complacent, or even contented.

What do you feel it is that keeps holding you back?
Is it the things that people have said you are not good at?
Is it something people have told you that you lack?
Is it a personal characteristic or physical trait that you are subconscious of?
– Claim Your Destiny by Sugar Ray Destin, Jr.

After all, you may have thought and reasoned, those were childhood dreams, childhood images, and you are now an adult. You have put away childish things. Life, you thought, is what is happening, good or bad, positive or negative, it is what is real. Dreams, and certainly dreams or a sense of destiny guiding and even directing you, are not really real.

Yet for some strange reason, in the quiet recesses of your mind, in the undirected and undisciplined mind chatter, you find fragments of those childhood dreams and that sense of destiny compelling you, and you may find a bittersweet tear in your eye as you smile and morn the dream that has never manifested in your life.

You may conclude that it is too late for your life to change. You may think that the die has been cast. If you believe in such things, you may even sigh and say, “well, maybe next life.”

As I am meditating and pondering on destiny, I am aware that as long as there is life, there is hope.
– Genevieve Gerard

I am reminded of the powerful and impersonal law of the Universe that “energy follows thought.” And I am aware that the sense of destiny that formed so many childhood fantasies and dreams is so often the initial contact of your Soul revealing to you your life’s purpose.

As I write these words and go deeper into these thoughts of my mind and of my Soul, about destiny, I am reminded that within these childhood daydreams there may be, for many, a first contact and subtle connection with an Angel, an Angel who foretold or forecast about your future and destiny.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
– Lao Tzu

As I ponder and consider destiny and Soul purpose, I am reminded that it is never too late to fulfill your Soul purpose. I ask you to stop and pause and take a few moments to dream and remember what you once dared to think and dream about your life and about your purpose before you made the compromises or accepted the limiting beliefs that structure your reality today.

I ask you to pause to ask yourself when and why you left your dreams and your sense of destiny behind.

I ask you to meditate upon and consider what you feel your Soul is directing you toward. I invite you to “calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.”

As you do this, I encourage you to open your mind and your heart to new possibilities.

I invite you to open to and consider new opportunities.

I ask you to imagine any limiting beliefs falling away from you and gathering around your feet like old used and dirty clothes. As they lie there on the ground imagine the breeze of an Angel stirring them, as they gather into scraps of flotsam and jetsam and form into a white bird as they take wing and fly away across a clear blue sky until they have flown out of site and are no longer in the field of your thoughts.

I invite and encourage you to, with a calm mind and open heart, invite into your awareness the Light of your Soul and let it spark your intuition and inspiration to reaffirm and align your life with your Soul purpose no matter what the situation or circumstances in which you currently find yourself, right here, right now, today.

I ask you to consciously invite your Soul to claim your destiny and align you will with your Soul purpose as you affirm and confirm with the words of power:

Purpose Itself Am I

I invite you to do the following guided visualization and claim your destiny today.

Aligning & Igniting with Your Soul Purpose

Take a moment to decide that you desire to live out the balance of your days aligning with and fulfilling your destiny.

Gather your journal and sit and quietly let your mind drop your everyday focus. Let yourself dream. Let your imagination be free.

Take in a very deep and relaxing breath and let your body surrender to the support of your chair, realizing you are being supported by the chair, which is supported by the floor, which is supported by the earth. This support is available to you through the Law of Gravity and is part of the support you receive as a child of God. It is one of many natural laws that are available to help you manifest your dreams.

Take in another deep breath imagining you are, with that breath, inviting the Light of your Soul to ignite your intuition and enflame your inspiration.

For a brief span of moments, suspend judgments and relax your logical mind. Release with a deep and relaxing breath all criticism of yourself. Let blame go. Let yourself just be and let your mind be free.

Continue drawing in deep, relaxing, and fulfilling breaths, as you, with each exhale, release any fears that may emerge or any thoughts that may be discouraging as you simply draw upon the resources of your Higher Self (your Soul) to empower your life.

Take the time to build a pathway of Light from the top of your head to your heart. Imagine that Light is infused and ignited by a Light above your head that glows with the radiance of your Soul. As you breathe in, imagine that Light igniting and inspiring your imagination. See that Light stimulating your creativity.

With your exhale as you release your breath, consciously and with intention put the past behind you. As you do this, realize you are releasing old bonds that have held you. Let them go!

Now, as you draw in a new breath, bring with it from the unlimited abundance of the force of life itself all that you need to manifest in your life your destiny.

Bring the energy deep into your heart and ponder on and consider what truly is your heart’s desire. Imagine that desire expanding the breadth and reach of your heart.

For a cycle to 3 or more breaths, let your energy circulate and stimulate the path from your Soul to the top of your head and then to your heart. As you sit with that circulation, allow your energy to continue to release self-criticism and judgment and let yourself absorb and enjoy the free flow of freedom that inspires and ignites your creativity.

This moment, this meditation offers you new opportunities. And since you have released the past and entered into the present, you are standing on a threshold of possibilities that have never been before. The energy of this moment, this Now is new. Claim it. Create with it what is your Soul purpose, what is your life purpose, what you now dare to dream, and only in the NOW dare to do.

Sit quietly and calmly merely breathing in and breathing out allowing and accepting the wisdom of your Soul to infuse you until you feel ready to return to the requirements and routines of your life assured that there are new possibilities and new opportunities that you can claim and incorporate into your life as you move forward.

Before you leave this experience behind, please take a few moments to record the thoughts you have had, the ideas that have emerged from the chatter of your mind, aware that within them may well be the wisdom of your Soul and the guiding whisper of your Angels.

Last, offer gratitude and appreciation for your experience in this mediation and then go forth and consider all the ideas and impressions you have received.

– GG

Let Your Dream Grow

Your destiny does not always reveal itself overnight. Don’t expect to make one significant change in your life and see the results the next day. These insights into your destiny and the actions you take in life take time. You have to let your Soul do its work and you also have to let the universe do its thing. Just remember, today is truly the first day of the rest of your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Love Frees You from the Pain of Attachment

Genevieve Gerard

Love Frees You from the Pain of Attachment

This article is part of my ongoing series on Love.

It is one of the saddest parts of observing the human drama to note how, Love, the most significant spiritual power and healing power in the world can be used, or more truly misused to create sorrow and pain.

The misunderstanding of what love is all too often fuels emotional pain, not because Love creates pain but because of all of the illusion, expectations, and attachments get superimposed upon Love, trapping Love and holding it prisoner.

This is the result of confusing Love with romance and sex.

Whereas, it is true that romantic Love and sexual Love can serve as a portal for experiencing Love, this failure in understanding the complete nature of what it means to love leaves you associating the pain of need and unfulfilled desires and expectations diminished with what is identified as Love but is a pale reflection of real Love.

Free Love to Be Love

Perhaps the most life-changing and healing thing you can do is to free Love to be Love. That requires realizing that what you have been told is Love is sometimes not what Love is about.

To free Love requires discrimination and discernment in your loving relationships. This may require a shift in what you desire and think you need from Love to let Love be the eternal energetic essence that is its nature.

To let Love be Love in the midst of your ego attachments and desire, nature requires a significant shift in your understanding of what Love is, and equally important to understand what is not Love.

Love Is Not Attachment

What is both amazing and miraculous is that Love, when freed from the imprisonment of attachment and desires that have imprisoned it, is able to touch your life and allow the real relationships that have Love, be free.

Love can heal your life while it frees and releases the fears, the attachment, from the deceptions and illusions.

That is possible because Love is more powerful than all of the illusions and glamour that society uses to disguise Love. Yet, to free Love to be Love, to be the eternal and life-changing power that it truly is means allowing it to release fear, dispel pain, and reveal what is real and expose what is not real.

Love is not attachment, and attachment is not Love. Ponder on this!

It is the misunderstandings about Love that creates pain. It is the attachment and desire that keeps Love from being the source of joy that Love really is.

Mother Theresa explored this when she said, “I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more Love.”

Love is a Divine force in the world. It is the most essential life lesson we can learn.

When you learn what love really is, and how Love really works, so much of the pain and suffering in life can be removed. It is not only the healing of hurts but rather the disillusion of the harm into oblivion.

How could what is eternal and unified by its very nature create a sense of pain and separation? It cannot! Only the illusions, expectations, and desires can produce the pain of separation.

This is important to understand this both when coping with the potential of the loss of romantic and sexual Love and also in the pain of losing a loved one through the separation of death.

It is a great illusion that you can ever lose one you have loved. It is an illusion that can create vast pain and sorrow in life. It is an illusion that can deny the very nature of what Love is and confine it in the trappings of the limitations of matter. Remember, love exists outside of matter in the realm of your Soul and is held in the embrace of eternity.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love Is A Soul-To-Soul Connection

No matter how much you strive to limit Love to the material and the temporal, it escapes those bounds for the Soul that connects you to those you love with a bond that is not limited by time, nor confined by matter.

True Love really only exists in Spirit. What is observed and experienced in matter is a reflection. Much like in Plato’s famous analogy of life in the cave, what is real, what is true is more beautiful and amazing than the fantasy to which you cling.

To Love in truth is a Soul-to-Soul connection. To experience the full breadth and scope of that power requires that you open your mind and your heart to your Soul.

Love is the joy of the good, the wonder of the wise, the amazement of the Gods.
– Plato

Life is more than what you can experience with only the five senses of matter with your physical body. To try to take what is eternal and confine it within what is temporal and eternal creates suffering.

Love Is More Than Desire & Passion

Although desire and physical passion can be used to help you overcome the limiting sense of separation and thus often demonstrate the union of Soul that is possible with Love, it is vital to not fall into the trap of thinking and believing that the physical passion that is ignited is the real power. Instead, the union of bodies is only a portal to the union of Souls that true Love creates.

Sexual Love and passion reveal the truth that when you love, you can transcend the pain of loneliness and isolation, but the transcendence is not in the physical release and sensations but in the connection and expression of Love.

That is what is real, and what is eternal you receive with that connection. Love transcends the times of physical contact and passion for creating that which is unlimited and unconfined by the material world. The sex and desire are only the icings, a treat, a lure, an adventure to open the connection.

That sex can have this connection to your Soul is the reason it is wise to have circumspect and discrimination about how, when, and where you share your body. It is not from judgment or a moral code, but rather the understanding of the power of sex to open your heart and mind and Soul to Love.

That Love is healing and has the power to transform and impact your life, makes the gift of your body potentially much more than just a physical act. Sexual expression of Love is designed in the very essence of your being to be a mystical expression beyond merely a physical act of the physical body because it expresses not only physical desire and passion but activates the emotions. It also stimulates your mind, but what is most important and significant is that it can connect you with your lover, Soul-to-Soul.

It is in that connection, Soul-to-Soul, that Love is born. It is that connection that can free you from the pain and sorrow that attachment often associates with a lover leaving your life and regular contact.

It is a profound truth in life that once you have loved someone, the Love is etched in the annals of karma and time and exists eternally in the realm of the Soul. I have found along with my lessons of life’s adventures that there is an energetic pathway that is never severed once that Love connection is created.

This Soul-to-Soul Love connection is true of many different relationships and roles through which we encounter and explore one another in life. When you recognize the difference between Love and attachment, you also realize that someone you loved in your life experiences, family, or friend or lover is never and cannot be lost to you. No matter what is true in your physical and material life, this is true in your essential spiritual life.

The ramifications of this realization are vast in enabling you to separate from a loved one when life circumstances make that necessary. The consequences are profound when death separates you from a loved one. This understanding is a profound truth that you may have known on some deep and archetypal level but is freeing when you acknowledge it as fact.

The awareness of Love as more than sex, more than need, more than desire, to an understanding of Love as an energy is enlightening. Understanding that the essence of Love is not material but rather Spiritual opens you to the realization that Love cannot end for it is created by the part of us that is timeless and eternal. Letting yourself Love beyond attachment takes you to the truth that Love never ends. Once created and forged in the fire of Spirit Love is expressed by wishing and desiring only what is right for and best for the beloved. This is dramatically different from the needs, the desires, and the ego demand that fueled attraction and passion.

It is perhaps a mistake that the same word is used to express “sticky” Love and real Love. Perhaps humanity should create different words like the ancient Greeks did to differentiate and describe the many different ways Love can be demonstrated in life. Until our understanding of Love expands and grows, we are left with the danger of confusing attachment with Love or desire and passion with Love.

It may be that this confusion is necessary to permit the “sticky” form of Love to serve as the portal for Love, for passion, need and desire to be the reward for the opening to the Spiritual and unselfish aspect of your being that is known as your Higher Self (your Soul.)

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Love Created Is Eternal

Genevieve Gerard

Love Is The Only Thing You Can Create In Life That Is Eternal

In life, one of the strongest urges we have is to create.

For some people, the very act of creation is the driving and motivating force of their life.

For others, the creative urge is focused on creating something lasting. Indeed, the urge to create fuels a great deal of life, in the arts, in business, with families across all cultures and communities.

This urge to create has as many expressions as there are people. For some, the very act of creating something is enough. They are satisfied by the appearance of their creativity and the experience created or the product designed meets their needs. For others they long for something that is lasting, something that exists after their life has passed.

Not Much Lasts the Passage of Time

Many long to see the result of their creativity live beyond their material life. Architects who build and have built grand structures may feel they have captured eternity in their creations. Truly some buildings last a very long time. The nature of the material world is such that eventually, even the most significant accomplishments of human creativity crumble or fade from the attention of others.

When we consider the nature of the material world, we are all aware that nothing ever built and nothing was ever written that lasts forever. Civilizations rise and fall all ravaged and ultimately destroyed by the passage of time.

The urge to create is continuously frustrated by the reality about the human life experience not being everlasting.

This awareness of the temporal nature of life and the impermanence of mankind’s endeavors can provide either motivation and inspiration or can cause you frustration.

I write a great deal in the hope that the wisdom I have gathered in my life can make life easier and more successful for others. As I write, I have available the understanding of others that I can draw upon, learn from and even quote, however I know that the passage of time and the evolution of civilization will erode the relevance of my words. No matter how far they eventually reach, they are temporal and will be vulnerable to the passage of time.

This awareness leads me to meditate and ponder on what we, as human beings, can do that is not subject to the ravages of time. It drives me to consider what I can do in my life that can last beyond my life? I know my life will end one day. But I also know on a deep and profound level that I am more than my body.

I am a spiritual being living and learning through a human body and human life experience for a purpose. I am created as a co-creator with the Creator to evolve my consciousness as an integral part of life that is eternal.
– Genevieve Gerard

The Soul & Love

This co-creative role with the Creator is not unique to me. It is a miracle and magic of the human experience for all. It is why of all the creations of life on this planet, a human being is a dual being residing in a temporal and material body while imbued with a spark of Divinity that is eternal, the Soul. It is to the immortal part of our being we must look to consider what we can create in life that is eternal.

The lessons we learn in our lives that impact our consciousness are lessons that we learn in our Soul. They are the lessons we bring with us when our Soul draws us to the experience of life again. No life experience is wasted when we learn it’s lesson in our consciousness.

I believe our Soul is eternal, and our consciousness is infinite. When Divine Will and Divine Wisdom determines the evolution of the collective human consciousness need you, both what you have to give and what you need to learn, as a Soul, it is then that a mysterious process of creation begins to create your next life adventure and life experience.

Although this is sometimes called reincarnation, I believe that word is often misunderstood by large parts of humanity. I often refer to it as God’s recycling plan and the Soul’s lesson plan. The eternal nature of the Soul embodies a continuity of consciousness that extends beyond this specific life experience. Ponder on this!

It makes sense that with all there is to be known about the nature of eternal life, merged with physical being that is the human experience, that there is an endless myriad of life situations and circumstances that need to be known for your Soul and eternally evolving consciousness to learn, grow and thrive.

As I have lived this life what I have gained from the Ageless Wisdom of awareness and understanding about the meaning and purpose of life, I have concluded that the most important thing I have learned is to Love.

The Failure To Love

As I look over my life experiences as one tends to do as you age, I have seen so many times that I failed to Love and that breaks my heart.

I have made countless little failures and significant, significant failures. Around those failures are the need to forgive both the person I failed to love fully and to forgive myself.

Selfishness and ego are the primary factors that have caused those failures. Equally persistent are my fears. Often what I have not said is as much to blame as what I have said. It is not always easy to love, or to love another, or to love yourself. This task of learning to love can be challenging and pervasive.

Love Is an Act of My Soul

Love is something I frequently write about and teach about, but I am still open to learning about it.

The most significant thing I have learned is that love is an act of my Soul.

When I have truly loved, selfish desire and the need to be loved disappears. I am left with a joy that is just knowing the beloved is sufficient. I did not require them to be a certain way or to do a specific thing. Even if I was no longer in their life or they were no longer in mine, the love endures and is eternal. It is free from both conditions and expectations. My desire is only for what is right and good for them.

Touching that level of relationship that I have learned is love made me realize the truth of the phrase “love never ends.” By loving, the temporal nature of life dissolves, and I am transported into the eternal nature of my being, my Soul.

The bond of love is a bond that exists Soul-to-Soul and is eternal. Knowing this and having learned this about love is a great comfort to me when someone I love leaves their body behind. Knowing this also comforts me when life circumstance creates permanent separations from those I have loved and lost track of.

True Love

By love, I refer to a state of consciousness that is beyond emotions, desire, and need that is aware of the essential nature of another and accepts and honors them without conditions or expectations, wanting for them only what supports and enhances their life without consideration of yourself.
– Genevieve Gerard

This love opens you to the part of your nature that is timeless and eternal. It is from that timeless and eternal aspect of your being, your Soul, that you are able to touch the endless element of another and create a bond that connects you and reconnects you through the continuity of consciousness.

Have you ever connected in this life with some people that you seem to have known before, even before you met them, that you trust before they have proved themselves trustworthy? You may not be able to understand these connections, but you recognize them as the extraordinary experience that they are. These relationships come with a recognition that something distinctive is happening.

The Laws of Karma draw us to those with whom we have forged a bond of love throughout our lives, allowing us to explore and manifest the many ways that love can be expressed and demonstrated throughout life.

So just remind yourself, from a friend to a loved one, love created forms a bond that reconnects and restores us to those we have loved throughout time and space.

Love is ‘Eternal’ for there is no End or Beginning
― Syed Sharukh

This continuity of consciousness and love that evolves and learns and grows and creates in human form for a while and then frees itself of that form is what life is ultimately about. Always strive for love!

These are concepts about a continuity of consciousness that holds your fundamental sense of identity not in your body, your ego or your personality, but rather in the essence of your Divine spark, your Soul. These concepts are different and require expanding your mind and considering lofty concepts of the Spiritual realm and some modification of your understanding about the physical life you see all around you.

It is in learning to love, and most significantly accepting the transcendent and empowering energy of love into your life that your consciousness expands and opens to the enlightened awareness that life is greater than what you can see through your material senses. The whole universe, indeed, heaven and earth are greater and more diverse than you can imagine at this turn of the wheel of life you are experiencing.

I ask that you consider these concepts although they may be completely foreign or mysterious to you and seek within yourself the thrum of recognition that TRUTH always brings and then with a calm mind and an open heart, Ponder On This.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Universal Brotherhood and the Oneness of Humanity

Genevieve Gerard

Universal Brotherhood and
the Oneness of Humanity

This article is part of my ongoing series on Oneness and Group Consciousness.

There is in the world, and indeed even the Universe, a sacred principle that is a deep truth about who you are, and how things function.

Although this truth has been a part of every spiritual path explored over the history of human consciousness, it remains a principle with which humanity seems to have a struggle. That is the understanding of Brotherhood and of Unity.

In today’s climate of unrest understanding brotherhood and unity is even more important to everyone’s evolution.

The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession, what there is of it.
– Mark Twain

What is Brotherhood

The Oxford Dictionary defines it as an association, society, or community of people linked by a common interest, religion, or trade.

The simple meaning of the Universal Brotherhood of Mankind is the belief, feeling, or hope that all (wo)men should regard and treat one another as brothers and sisters.

On a higher level, according to theosophist E.A. Neresheimer,

In the process of evolution, humanity has differentiated from the great homogeneous ocean of consciousness in order that the soul may gain experience in matter; being now on the outer circle of manifestation, it appears to be apart, but it is destined in its natural course to return to the primal unity from whence it came.

The thread which has spun itself out from unity into differentiation connects each individual with the parent source, and through it with all else; and the innate qualities of the soul — Love, Sympathy, and Charity — are the manifestations thereof in man; these reside in the Heart.

According to the Esoteric Philosophy, the race has fortunately reached the outermost stage of realization of separateness, the time is at hand for the ascent on the return arc, the pendulum is swinging back and will bring with it an awakening towards spirituality. A psychic wave has already begun to sweep over the globe; in its course, it will rouse the latent spiritual faculties of mankind and develop intuition to a degree that will cause great changes in the Social Economy and produce a realization of our birthright, ‘The Universal Brotherhood of Man.’”

An understanding of this Universal Brotherhood of Mankind principle has been expressed and taught by every spiritual teacher and is an essential element in every spiritual path across many diverse cultures and religions practiced over thousands of years.

Helena Blavatsky talks about, in the Secret Doctrine Book 2 – Part 3, the Law of laws is the Law of Brotherhood — Alaya. Its unity extends beyond the human kingdom and enfolds bird and beast, shrub and tree, metal and stone, all the invisible elemental kingdoms of nature-spirits, and fairies, collective hosts of archangels, shining ones and devas, and the crown of them all — Perfected Man, Mahatmas, Buddhas, Dhyanis.

Within this principle is an understanding of how life works, and even more significantly, how we, as humankind, are created to work together.

The Principles of Brotherhood
Have Been Passed Down for Century’s

Sadly, the frequent failure of humanity to incorporate the principles of Brotherhood and the Oneness of Humanity into its interactions results in widespread sorrow and suffering. This is a condition that it is within the power of humanity to solve and resolve.

The failure to demonstrate the Brotherhood in human relationships and interactions leads to wars and holds back the kinds of international cooperation that could create abundance and prosperity across the world.

From the ancient days of the history of humanity throughout every world religion and spiritual practice, the concept of Brotherhood is integral, and our Unity and Oneness with one another is interwoven.

Within the concept of Brotherhood and understanding of the unity of all of humanity lies incredible power. That is why, throughout time, the principle of Brotherhood has been woven through every religion on earth. These enlightened beings formed the central religious teachings of a vast and diverse array of paths to right human relationships. They also focus on right human interactions, teach Brotherhood, and encourage an awareness of the Oneness of Humanity.

Over 5,000 years ago, this principle of Unity and Brotherhood was revealed by Arjuna on the battlefield as in the spiritual teachings of the Bhagavad Gita that guide the Hindi religion. This vital principle was demonstrated when Arjuna had the revelation “I can no longer war against myself.”

The importance of learning brotherhood is integral to the development of Buddhism as monks live and work together in monasteries throughout the world. In fact, the Brotherhood of Monks is the oldest religious brotherhood in the world; it was founded by the Buddha about 2,500 years ago and continues to exist to this day.

Certainly, Brotherhood is a central principle in Christianity when Jesus told his followers in Matthew: 24-41 “to the least of these my brethren.”

Brotherhood is not only based on faith, but it is also a part of that faith. The Prophet Mohamad said, “You cannot enter paradise unless you become a total believer, and you won’t become a total believer unless you love each other.“ Faith and community are inseparable in the faith community in Islam. Even an occasional reader of the Quran would note that it always addresses the Believers, not the Believer. All acts of worship that are declared pillars of Islam have a collective form that shows the importance of Brotherhood.

Likewise, there is the very ancient teaching of the code of Hammurabi that became a pillar of all lessons about ethics. This became known as the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.“

Without turning this article into a 100,000-page book on religious scholarship, I think it is right to say that within every world religion, brotherhood, and the Oneness of Humanity is integral to the teachings of the founding principles of that religion, along with the instructions of loving one another.

The Law of One

When we speak of the One Life, this is not merely a poetic phrase or symbol. It refers to the fact that we are all essentially that one same Life, as expressed in the diversity of form that constitutes our being on many levels (cellular and spiritual.)

Because of our interconnectedness, every action (or lack thereof) has an effect on every other aspect of nature. Like a pebble, thrown into a body of water, our actions ripple out, beyond the spheres of our immediate influence.

When considered at a deeper level, Universal Brotherhood may be understood as being at the heart of humanity, because of how practical it is to us in all aspects of our lives, not only as individuals but also collectively, as humankind.

Despite teachings in the consciousness of humanity spanning back to what is known as the very cradle of civilization, as we look around the world today, we see constant violations of the principles of Brotherhood.

Sadly, the very basic truth that led to Arjuna’s decision of the battlefield to cease war when he realized that he could not harm another without harming himself is still valid.

As we consider everything that is happening in the world today, it is easy to see that Unity and Brotherhood is not the guiding focus of how we, as citizens of planet earth, interact with one another.

However, I would like us to take a moment to consider how the world could be if we allow this vital principle to effect policies and politics. As we do this, let us imagine how treating one another with an awareness of Oneness would change the world.

Why Karma Is Involved In Brotherhood

Within the profound principle of Brotherhood and Unity is an essential mystery of how the Law of Karma works.

The Law of Karma is often misunderstood because it is a force that expands beyond the perspective of individual life experience into the guidance of the purpose of your Soul to learn essential lessons that are incorporated into your consciousness at the level of your eternal or Soul consciousness.

The timeless and eternal aspect of life, as an adventure created to enable you to learn the lessons of Love and the lessons of right human relationships, make learning about Brotherhood and understanding the Oneness of Humanity essential.

It is the Law of Karma, over the vast expanse of time that proves the adage that, “you cannot harm another without harming yourself.” Karma can be simply stated as, “you get the lesson until you learn the lesson.”

I believe this is throughout eternity and exceeds your life experience which makes it difficult to see and to understand from a personality individual life experience which is limited to identifying with your current personality and ego. That stated, this does not mean the Law of Karma is not real, but that it operates beyond the scope of our current individuated understanding.

Karma answers the question so many of us have about why certain things and situations occur in life that may not make sense and seem beyond our control as the guiding principle of Karma is to give the lesson to the eternal consciousness that you ultimately are, until you learn the lesson. This is true, not only for you but for everyone with whom you interact and relate throughout your life.

You may want to be conscious of your thoughts and words, so they don’t create negative karma by your actions.

What You Can Do for Brotherhood and Unity

You can join in this planetary work and this world service by simply saying at 5 p.m., wherever you are, The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers.

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

May the power of the One Life
pour through the group of all true servers.

May the Love of the One Soul
characterize the lives of all who
seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One work
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness
and right speech.

– Serving Humanity (p461) by Alice A. Bailey

In this way, you can support the efforts for peace in our time and also be aware of our unity and brotherhood as the one humanity.

This blessing is offered in every country of the world, in the words of every culture. Each hour as it becomes five p.m. local time, the whole world joins in the effort to support and empower those who are working for the common good of the human family.

As this blessing goes around the world it is a demonstration and a viable manifestation of one world and one humanity’s consciousness that can bring us closer to the long-desired realization of brotherhood and unity.

You Can Make A Difference

I encourage you and invite you to join with your thoughts, your prayers, and your intentions in participating in this world-wide blessing that focusses on bringing the force of unity to manifestation for the greatest good of all.

I invite you to consider, in your actions and in your speech the principle of harmlessness.

I ask you to be an agent of goodwill in the world, demonstrating in your life and relationships, as well as where you can, the principles of brotherhood and sisterhood, harmlessness, and right speech as the underpinnings of right relationships in the world. In so doing you will be advancing the evolution of our collective consciousness.

Emerge, through the darkness of malice, into the bright light of Brotherhood that awaits you at the end of the tunnel. For indeed, it is often in times of greatest trial that the fires of nobility and virtue are kindled in the heart of humanity.

It falls to all of us – both as individuals and as a community – to work towards the achievement of this noble end. Transformation on an inner level will eventually result in transformation on a grander scale – and thus, As Above, So Below, As Within, So Without, as the Hermetic axiom goes. And this transformation may begin today, through the cultivation of the virtues of compassion, tolerance, and universal brotherhood.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Inviting Love Into Your Life To Transform the World Today

Genevieve Gerard

Inviting Love Into Your Life To Transform the World Today

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Learning to Love is the next step in the evolution of consciousness that is being played out here on the little speck of the universe that is known as planet earth.

Across the great span of space in the mind of the creative intelligence that may be called God, Creator, or Higher Source, is a Divine plan for the evolution of consciousness.

Simply put, life is a process of purpose. That purpose is vast and cosmic. You and this tiny planet which we inhabit called Planet Earth have an important part to play at this time.

We, the citizens of Earth provide something special because it is within the experience of a human being and the human consciousness that what is physical and material (the human body) is able to merge and fuse with the creative essence of the Divine Creator. This magic, this mystery has a purpose that creates the miracle of Love. This mystery has the purpose that infuses Love into the Universe.

There is, all around the world a spiritual revolution that is an integral part of the spiritual evolution of all of humanity.

Transforming The World With Love

The amazing thing is that matter, the nature, and expression of the human form, is devoid of Love. Matter, by itself, is unresponsive to Love. It is only through the blending and merging of what is the spark of Divine Light or essence that is known as the Soul that the material aspect of the human being is brought into right relationship with the Divine Creator to transform this world with Love.

At this time, it is up to us to aid in the evolution of our planet and consciousness! The merging and infusing of matter with Love that is happening here on planet earth through the blending of matter (the human body) with the energy and essence of our Soul (Spirit) which is Love has significance across the wide spectrum of the whole Universe. Earth is a Cosmic experiment in consciousness and it is time for us to choose the higher path to evolve.

It is in the transformation process that a miracle of co-creation is revealed. A miracle that when understood can make a difference to our entire human race. That miracle of co-creation ignites the power of Love and by so doing accomplishes the next step in the evolution of higher consciousness on our planet. Transforming matter with unconditional Love allows the infusion of what is both dense and unconscious, material and meaningless with what is Spiritual and eternal, full of purpose and meaning.

The co-creation of humanity with the Divine is only understood when the power of thought and the importance of the “word” is understood in the Creation process. At the root of that understanding is that energy follows thought and the dynamic power of intention and will are still in the beginning developmental stages of understanding in this cycle of creation. Thoughts and words have power. Ponder on this!

Stages of Consciousness To Usher In Love-Wisdom

Each step in Creation has a purpose. Each stage in evolution is charged with transformation along unique energetic lines. Previous to this emerging stage of consciousness, Creative Intelligence held sway. As important as that step in the evolution of consciousness was, it was void of Love. Love was revealed as the essential nature of the Divine and grounded on planet earth about 2,500 years ago through the actions of the avatar known as the Christ.

The Cosmic step of consciousness that was ushered into Earth to be demonstrated by humanity was the creation of not only Love but more importantly and more significantly the energy of Love-Wisdom.

This merging of meaning and bringing matter into the expression of Love, which is the nature of the Creator, is a process of redemption on a Cosmic level. This mission of transformation that takes place here in our tiny part of the Universe, through the lives of individual human beings is of importance that we cannot even perceive. It lies in what is often called, “The Mind of God” which is the purpose of life itself.

The creative process of the Divine Mind and what is conceived as an overall plan of evolution for all of life, not only here on spaceship Earth but in the vast realm of space, is both gradual and from the perspective of humanity painfully slow. Infusing and transforming matter with the energies of Love, and more significantly the energies of Love-Wisdom requires significant alterations in what directs the life force and life experience.

How You Can Help Transform The World With Love

Within you is the spark of what is described as Divine Light that resides in your Soul. It is the Presence of this Divine Light, this Divine essence that empowers you to be a co-creator, with the Divine Creator. The Soul (your Soul) is aligned with and aware of the Divine Creator, but freedom and more importantly free will are integral to the creative process.

You must remember that the nature of your Soul is Love because your Soul is the spark of Divine Light that differentiates you from an animal, and other forms of sentience such as vegetables, plants, and even minerals.

The issue of sentience (the capacity to feel, perceive or experience subjectively) is integral to the issue of transformation (an act, process, or instance of transforming or being transformed) in the long span of the evolution of consciousness that directs and unfolds your nature.

It is up to you to raise the energetic frequency of this planet by loving all forms of sentient beings, which includes the earth and your fellow (wo)man, and having loving thoughts. This act of love may sound simple, but that does not mean it is easy.

That your Soul is composed of Love and intrinsically understands what it means to Love can be confused by the parts of you that are more material and dense, the physical body, the emotional body (the seat of emotions) and the mental body (the thoughts and reasoning aspect of the human experience.) Unfortunately for most, the ego vigorously strives to keep control of these 3 bodies and resists surrendering to the Soul with dogged determination.

Transforming the world with Love ultimately requires letting your Soul guide and direct your awareness. However, the surrender to Love and the understanding of your Divine and eternal nature that is available through love can be in active opposition to what the ego desires and believes it wants and needs.

No matter how often the selfish needs and desires of what is disguised and purported to be Love, Soul Love, and Divine Love is distinguishable by surrendering the ego and opening and acquiescing and engaging your Soul to Love.

When you surrender to the Soul, everything changes. Selfish desire and demands disappear. A bond that is not about yourself but is about the needs of the beloved is formed.

In this ongoing act of surrender, something special and eternal is created that transcends time and space. A true transformation of matter takes place creating a force and an energy that was not there before. A miracle happens and the whole Cosmos rejoices. A materially focused and ego-driven creature becomes a source for what is both Divine and eternal to enter the world of consciousness.

It is by learning to Love that the purpose of life is expressed, and it is by loving that the deepest desire and the deepest dream of a human looking for enlightened transformation is fulfilled.
– Genevieve Gerard

This Cosmic miracle and Cosmic drama are played out across this tiny planet in this tiny corner of the Earth frequently, but always profoundly. Each step is important because it is the fulfillment of a plan that is held in the mind and the heart of the Divine Creator. The Angels, which are by their very nature composed of Love and aligned with Love rejoice. It is through Love that redemption and salvation are accomplished. It is by learning to Love that the purpose of life is expressed, and it is by loving that the deepest desire and the deepest dream of a human looking for enlightened transformation is fulfilled.

This power of transformation, redemption, and salvation that occurs with Love is why spiritual teachers advise you to, “make Love your Aim” (Corinthians 1-19). Love becomes a portal to the Soul and a vast array of Spiritual gifts that open you to the wholeness of your being as a co-creator with the Divine Creator. Ultimately, love transforms you and transforms the world.

By learning to Love you can participate in a great step in the evolution of consciousness and make our planet sacred.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

P.S. You can also help every day by letting Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on earth by repeating The Invocation For Power and Light. This invocation from the Archives of the Ageless Wisdom was distributed to disciples on the path throughout time and in its entirety to the public at the time of the full moon of June 1945 while we battled good vs. evil during World War II. It has become known over time as The Great Invocation.

4th of July Soldier’s Prayer

Genevieve Gerard

4th of July Soldier’s Prayer

I don’t think we as a nation can celebrate our independence and our freedom without taking a pause to express our gratitude for our veterans.

From my heart today I offer up this prayer to all past and current soldiers.

Lord of All,

Today with gratitude I place before you this soldier, this veteran, and ask that You:

Heal him/her for the deep wounds that our country sending them into the Hell of war created for them, whether they be physical wounds, emotional wounds, or wounds in the mind, heart or Spirit.

Flood them with Grace and guide them to the direction that empowers them to fulfill their Soul’s purpose, so that their time of service is not a disruption to the fulfillment of their life’s purpose.

Restore and refresh their lives with wisdom and insight that they may see the possibilities and blessings as the opportunity for success that they are.

Comfort the warriors from the ravages of battle and give them rest and respite from their memories of the horrors of war.

Enfold them in your Divine Love and send your Angels to watch over them as they continue through the challenges of civilian life today, tomorrow, and always.

Amen

As a thank you and to facilitate healing for all the wounded warriors I am offering a collection of three guided meditations at no cost to veterans or any enlisted arm forces over the 4th of July extended weekend. Please share it freely with any you think will benefit from using them.

Learn more here >>>Veteran Bundle Special.

Go to my For-Veterans website to read the complete Express Gratitude To Our Veterans article I posted with this prayer, and tell your friends about my special no-cost veterans bundle.

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

Do You Need a Prescription of Meditation For Healing?

Genevieve Gerard

Do You Need a Prescription of
Meditation For Healing?

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 heart, that 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 purpose, your 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 thoughts, calming 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,

Be Open To The Divine Mother On Mother’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Be Open To The Divine Mother
On Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day comes around every year.

And for many, probably most of the world who celebrates this day, it is a special opportunity to show appreciation for the love and sacrifices of your Mother.

Within this day of celebration, the bonds of family are honored and celebrated.

But, for some this day is not so easy.

Among us, in the human experience, there are those of us who did not have a mother in their life growing up or did not have a Mother who fulfilled and demonstrated the amazing sacrifice, love, and support that is associated with the celebration of Mother’s Day and especially of motherly love.

In my many years as a counselor and life coach, I have learned that this day, Mother’s Day, comes with mixed feelings and sorrow for some. Indeed, it was for me challenging and frustrating for much of my life. I recall spending hours in a card section of a store, often with tears, looking through countless cards trying to find one that was not dishonest in its message so I could send one to my Mother for Mother’s Day.

Most greeting cards express gratitude for the love, support, and selflessness of motherhood.

The reality of life is that all woman are not found of love or support and certainly not selflessness that society honors on Mother’s Day.

If you have or had a wonderful, loving, and supportive Mother I suggest on this day you express, not only your appreciation but that you take a moment to understand and realize what a blessing that is or was in your life.

I had a Mother, but unfortunately, she did not know how to love. This was a challenge especially in my years of growing up.

Fortunately, although my Mother did not understand or demonstrate love, I was blessed with an amazing Grandmother who both loved me and supported me emotionally, but most importantly taught me how to love and loved me unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

Unconditional Love

The greatest expression of a Mother’s love is that it is unconditional and accepts you. That is the archetypal understanding of a Mother’s love. Yet, for the child for whom that was not the experience, or even for the Mother who failed to provide that experience, Mother’s Day is often a difficult time.

Loving is not easy and yet we expect it of one another as if it was, just because it is a natural part of our being does not make it easy. This is especially true of what is considered the example and expectation of a Mother’s love.

For many, the lack of having had the blessing of a Mother who loved them accepted them, and cherished them is painful. At the core of that pain is the expectation that a Mother’s love is just the way life is. And, for those who do not, for whatever reason receive that ideal in their life, it is painful.

As a child who was raised with that lack, I can speak to that pain. As one who has spent endless hours learning about love and life, there are some important things I have learned and can share that can help heal that pain.

I believe a lifetime of learning about love has given me an understanding and grace about some important things to understand about love, and specifically what is traditionally the Mother of the feminine aspect of love, that can help.

Good Mother or Bad Mother

All of us have within our psyche the voice of those who have taught us, raised us, and guided us. For most people, the loudest of those voices is their Mother. And for most people that is the most loving and supportive voice that they have. For those who do not have that archetypal loving and supportive voice in their head, more discernment and discrimination is required.

The first level of discrimination that is required is to determine if what you are thinking about yourself is the voice of what I call “Good Mother”, or “Bad Mother.” The voice you, as an adult, have in your head doesn’t come from just the personage of your physical biological mother.

Throughout your life, grandparents, aunts, the Mothers of your friends, and countless life teachers have created and formed what I refer to as the “Mother” voice in your head. Even if you have been so unfortunate as to have had a bad mother, you will, if you explore your awareness, realize that life provided you with those who served in the role and example of what Mother’s love is.

If you are someone who had challenges with your relationship with your Mother, and many have, this discrimination is important. The best Mother in the world was not always an expression of “Good Mother” all the time. Sometimes your Mother might have been dealing with her own issues and challenges and failed to be what “Good Mother” is.

Unfortunately, in the more challenging familial relationships “Bad Mother” may have spoken more often than “Good Mother.” This may have created a paradox and a problem for you in your relationship with your Mother.

Free The Past

This process of determining and discriminating which force was at play, when you remember something said, either in the past or the future is freeing and empowering. You are not perfect, and your Mother, no matter how good or bad she is/was is not perfect. I suggest as you realize that, use that awareness to forgive your Mother for whatever failures she may have had along the way of life involved in your relationship. That may be the greatest gift you can give her this Mother’s Day. And fortunately, you don’t even need to say you forgive her. A simple expression of your love for her will carry that energy.

The process of discriminating and determining which comment that you carry in your mind chatter from the past is an expression of “Good Mother” and which is from “Bad Mother” can be very freeing.

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
– Bryant H. McGill

You can choose to forgive and forget all of the “Bad Mother” messages and that will expand and enhance any of the “Good Mother” messages you received. As you learn about love you can demonstrate it. Ponder on this.

In my life, I am grateful that through my demonstration of unconditional love and forgiveness, my Mother was able to finally say the words “I Love You.” My mother learned what it meant to be loved and because of that learned about how to love. I feel that my being able to teach my Mother to love and to let her know the experience of love, was an empowering and amazing part of my spiritual journey.

Because of this Soul connection, and that love happens at the Soul level, it is possible to open your heart and mind to your Soul and receive healing and restoration from the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother

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

If you have any hurts or pains from the failures and foibles of your earthy Mother, I suggest that you open yourself to receive the blessing and grace of the love, light, and healing power of the Divine Mother.

Fortunately, the energy, grace, and love are available to you through either prayer or meditation. You can, through prayer or meditation connect with the love of the Divine Mother, an energy that is also referred to as the Divine Feminine. This is a dynamic and powerful aspect of the Trinity.

There is something that is very important to understand about the nature of Love. That is that Love is created and ultimately expressed on the level of a Soul-to-Soul connection. That is what makes love a real connection and that is what makes Love eternal.
– Genevieve Gerard

The energy of the Divine Mother and the Divine Feminine is integral to helping humanity learn about love and as such is a source for Divine Love anchoring on Earth. It occurs on the Soul level and it is with your Soul that you can connect with it and experience it, learn from it, and be healed by it. Ponder on this.

I share with you today a short guided meditation that I wrote just for this article.

A Meditation on Love and
Opening to the Divine Mother

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

Take in a deep breath and relax into this moment.

Put all that is past behind you as you enter into right here and right now.

Open your heart to the essence of Love that is available to you and flowing through you from your Soul, your spark of Divine Light, and your Source of Divine Love that is endless, abundant, and eternal.

Let the completely unconditional nature of that Love fill your heart to overflowing.

As you breathe in, realize that the very air that you breathe is a blessing from Source and infused with Divine Love.

As the air circulates from your lungs to your blood realize you are incorporating into your body and into your being, Love.

As the molecules of oxygen move throughout your body along your whole circulatory path imagine that within those molecules, down to the essential atoms of your existence, is the Light of your Soul.

Let yourself be one with your Soul and let yourself receive from the vast universal presence of Source, the healing Light, and the transforming Light of Love.

Draw in another deep breath as you surrender to the empowerment and infusion of your Soul, as you open your heart and mind to the Love that is available to you, that is now flowing through you through the miracle of a simple breath. Let it heal you. Let it restore you. Let it infuse you and enlighten you as you calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.

You are not alone. You are a child of the Divine, supported and loved unconditionally and eternally through your Soul by the love of the Divine Mother and the love of the Creator which can be called the Father of you and of all of life.

Let yourself receive the perfect amount of abundance that is available for you, that was created for you, to empower you and support you and sustain you throughout your life so you can fulfill your purpose throughout this life adventure.

Let every breath you take give you what you need to sustain and nourish that purpose.

Open your awareness to the wisdom of your Soul and the strength and support of Divine Love that is freely flowing to you and through you now.

Breathe in the grace and guidance of your Soul and the sustaining love of the Universal Presence that is here for you and available to you with every breath you take.

Within you is the power to heal your life and live your life in joy.

Quietly sit, breathing in that love, that strength, and that blessing until you are restored refreshed and filled so you can go forth to do and be in the world all that you are meant to be.

– Genevieve Gerard

May the Love and Grace of the Divine Mother continue to bless you and your entire family!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Life is About Learning to Love

Genevieve Gerard

Life is About Learning to Love

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

To those who ponder the meaning of life, the purpose of life is a looming question.

So much of life is wonderful and glorious. And, so much of life is painful and a struggle that even the most casual observer will conclude that it must have a purpose, a purpose that is deeper and more meaningful than simply, we live, we die.

I believe there are, in the pondering of life’s purpose, some fundamental truths, and principles that I have come to understand that I would like to share with you.

It Seems That Life Is About Learning

That raises the question of who is it that is learning? Since I am a spiritual teacher, I examine the world from that perspective. I consider the human experience a multi-level adventure of life that involves incorporating and integrating our whole self, not only our physical self, but also our emotional self, our intellectual self, and, from my perspective, our Spiritual Self.

I believe that within each of us is a spark of Divine Light that is the Soul. The Soul is the eternal essence of what lives beyond our temporal and physical body. It is the seat of our consciousness and is integral in offering us the situations and circumstances that provide us the opportunity to learn and grow to expand our awareness.

To me, life seems to be a vast and diverse university where we, as students, are given the opportunity to learn.

Some lessons we learn quickly and easily, others we learn through suffering and sorrow, yet each event, each circumstance, every situation grants us an opportunity to understand something we may not have realized before.

Expand Your Consciousness and Purpose

To make sense of the experience of life and understand what it is all about it seems that you must expand your consciousness and awareness into the realm of purpose.

To me, to look around the immense diversity of circumstances and situations, the vast variety of the forms that life takes here on this little planet floating in a Universe of infinite and ever-expanding space, there is a purpose to creation. What do you think your purpose is?

Your purpose in life is to find your purpose
and give your whole heart and soul to it.
― Buddha

Somehow the mind of the Creator, who could create the world we see and the Universe we are just beginning to sense and more fully understand, maybe inconceivable to the majority of us but you can still ponder your purpose.

After many years of studying the mysteries of life, especially the ponderings of thousands of years of recorded experience about the meaning of life, I have made some observations and conclusions about life that speak to the question of purpose.

As I have observed and considered this observation, particularly in light of the concept of the purpose of life and the meaning of life, I have drawn some conclusions.

I do not ask you to believe my findings but rather to turn to your own Soul, your own inner voice that resonates with TRUTH. It is from that Source of inner wisdom that I ask you to read and consider what I am suggesting.

You Are More Than A Physical Body

We all know that we have a physical body, a physical nature. And we know that that body lives a span of time and then dies. That is an observation that any casual observer can make. The question that this fact raises about the purpose of life is what happened in the university of life between that moment of life and that moment of the death of the physical body?

Most who have ever lost a loved one have observed that when they look at the newly lifeless carcass of someone they loved, that the body is not the person they loved. Something is missing.

It seems that realization gives us an extraordinary hint. Although we all have a body, we are more than our body. What makes up a human being is far more diverse and complex than merely a physical body.

That leads to the question of who we are and what we are since we can easily observe we are not only a body. We are more. Certainly, an active and integral part of who and what we are as a human being includes our emotions.

From the first breath of life, we begin to feel, and throughout our life, we are learning to understand and incorporate our feelings and emotions.

Indeed, in this great university of life that we all experience understanding and hopefully ultimately mastering our emotions is the course work for many, if not most, of life’s lessons.

That process of understanding is a function of your brain, and the understanding of how the power of your higher mind works is one of the most empowering lessons you can learn in your time in the university of life.

It is a lesson you learn from the perspective of your eternal spark (your Soul) and incorporates into a sense of truth and knowledge that informs and influences the actions you take and the decisions you make as they are presented to you in this life, your life.

Your Soul is available to you from the first cry of your birth and through life until the last breath that you take. Your Soul as the eternal aspect of you, as the seat of your consciousness, is integral to not only this life adventure but to all the experiences and trials and errors from which you have learned across the span of time into the edge of eternity.

The lessons you learn in this life are a part of a vast evolutionary expansion of wisdom and understanding.

The tasks of life can be difficult, for they require merging together a material and physical body with an eternal and spiritual nature.

Fortunately, the Soul has all of eternity to help us learn how to do this.

Fortunately, from the Soul’s perspective, none of us are limited to one lifetime, to only one lifetime of attendance in the university of life.

Your Soul is eternal, and therefore life is also eternal. Everything you have ever learned, every herculean hurdle you have conquered is in your consciousness, available to be called upon by your Soul to help and support you in this life experience, this life adventure, any particular life lesson.

Will you make mistakes in your life? Of course, that is how you learn. You don’t need to suffer from shame and doubt and remorse, you only need to learn.

Within the eternal life of your Soul, you have the opportunity to experiment, try differently, do better. Forgive yourself, forgive those who hurt you, and consider what have you learned.

What might you learn and how might you do better today? Ponder on this every day.

The idea that you as an eternal being (a Soul) are learning the lessons of life and will be brought back into the experience of life to demonstrate what you have learned in your current adventure may be new and different for you. It is undoubtedly a way of looking at the world that is different. It is not even a traditional understanding of reincarnation. It is undoubtedly different from the conventional dogma of heaven and hell waiting for you at the end of your life.

My just exploring these concepts, considering these concepts, may raise within you all kinds of rejection and resistance or it may be a relief. But I ask you only to put those thoughts aside and in quiet contemplation consider what could be so crucial that all of life would be arranged around learning. Ponder on this.

Learn To Love

I believe the answer to what could be so crucial to learn, is Love. It is not easy for a human being to learn to Love. Our selfishness, our pettiness, and our fears create a myriad of obstacles. Transcending those factors to place the wellbeing of another or others may be something we struggle with every day.

Learning to Love can be a big lesson. It is perhaps the biggest lesson we as human beings may ever learn.

Love one another
― Jesus Christ (John 15:12)

Over the span of human history, humanity has been told to love one another. Jesus not only instructed his followers to “Love One Another,” but offered his life as an example for how to love as he went on to say “as I have loved you.” It seems that even the most prideful among us would admit that this instruction is beyond where most of us are in our consciousness.

Fortunately, the Divine principles of Grace and Mercy give us various life Soul experiences to master this challenging lesson.

It is to learn how to Love and what it means to Love
that I believe is one of our main purposes of living.
― Genevieve Gerard

Love is the one thing you can create in your human life adventure that does not die when you die. Love, when it is created, creates a bond that is between Souls, and as it is built between your eternal aspect of yourselves, it is eternal, beyond time, unlimited by space.

It is to learn how to Love and what it means to Love that I believe is one of our main purposes of living.

It is what can bring the eternal Soul of humans into communion and companionship with the Divine Creator. It is what I believe the Creator created humanity to do.

Love has so many ways it can be expressed, so many vast possible relationship permutations that can be created in life that it seems we humans need the opportunity to learn and explore love throughout eternity.

I know that I have failed to fully love so many times as I look over my life that I am grateful that I have more than one lifetime to learn. I am thankful that within me there is an eternal spark of Divine Light that will give me the lesson until I can demonstrate that I have learned the lesson.

Learning to love is a valuable lesson. When we, as humans learn to love one another the world will be heaven on earth.

We need only to look around the world in which we live to see that human consciousness still has a significant way to go to live that prediction. But the promise of a new heaven and new earth is in the desire of all of humanity.

We know that learning to love and achieving the instruction to “Love one another as I have Loved you” (John 15:12), would create a different world, a better world; a world worthy of being in the heart and mind of a Creator who could envision and create the wonder of this world we as humans are blessed to inhabit.

Remember that life is about learning to love and your eternal Soul can teach you this lesson if you listen deep within your heart.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

Ponder on Something

Genevieve Gerard

Ponder on Something

This article is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awareness and Soul Awakening.

In the process of gaining more enlightened awareness, you are likely to encounter many who provide their opinions or their wisdom.

Some of what you are exposed to is wonderful as it grants you an ah-ha moment (sometimes after pondering on its meaning multiple times) that opens your eyes or your heart to something that makes your perception easier or clearer. Unfortunately, some of what you are told is other people’s truth loaded with their fears, their judgments, and are filled with illusion.

As you journey through life’s magnificent adventure it falls to you to choose what you will believe, what teachings you will embrace to guide you.

This choosing is not easy, for you may love and respect the person who espouses rules, guidance, dogma, and doctrine that the still soft whisper of your Soul rejects.

Ultimately, determining what is right, what is the truth, falls to you.

What Does It Mean To Ponder On Something?

You are the one who must choose what will guide your life. I believe, and I have found in the journey of my life that there is within my heart and mind wisdom from my Soul. Whenever I have been presented with teaching that my Soul accepts or rejects, I have used a technique of the Ageless Wisdom by following the guidance to “Ponder On This.”

In my experience, there is within your Soul an arbiter of truth. It is my recommendation that you put every teaching, especially every spiritual teaching to the test of “Pondering.”

The Free Dictionary defines ponder on (something):
“To give great consideration to something;
to ruminate or think about something very deeply.”

In my experience, as one who has journeyed long on the spiritual path, the wisdom of your Soul is available to you whenever you open your heart and your mind to pondering. Your Soul will guide you to the truth and insights about all wisdom or it will warn you if it doesn’t feel right for you at this time in your life.

Ultimately, your relationship with your Soul and your relationship with God (however you define God) is completely personal. I recall the theologian Peter Marshall wrote about this fact, “God has no grandchildren.” Each of us is charged to enter into our own relationship with the Divine, what theologian Marin Buber described as an “I-Thou relationship”.

The faith of your Father and Mother may have guided their path, and it certainly can have nurtured or fashion your own, but ultimately your relationship with the Divine and the relationship with your own Soul is up to you.

Truth always seems to be recognizable by the Soul. That is the derivation of the folk wisdom of the phrase ‘the ring of truth’. I have always, and will always, encourage those who read or hear my words to only accept and incorporate into their own spiritual life that which resonates as truth with you.
– Genevieve Gerard

Ways To Ponder On Something

The technique of pondering on something presented as a Spiritual truth can be a part of your meditation. It can be the subject of prayer or simply quiet contemplation. I personally encourage the practice of daily meditation.

In setting aside time for reflection, prayer or contemplation you open yourself to a relationship with the Divine and a relationship with your own Soul as the arbiter of truth and a source for life guidance.

You can, of course, meditate anytime and anywhere, but there are some techniques that mediators have found helpful in maintaining the practice of mediation. One such technique is to choose a time of day where you set aside time in your schedule. For me, the first thing in the morning, just after awakening is a favorite. I especially love the time that the light is returning to the sky and the sun is rising. For me, that is a time of great potential and promise so I find it an especially empowered and empowering time in which to meditate.

I also find prayer and mediation just before I go to sleep a powerful way to let go of the stress of the day and surrender to the Divine. My morning meditations and my before surrendering to sleep prayers form Spiritual support to my life enfolding my life.

The approach to meditation is different from your approach to other times and tasks of your day. Meditation is the time to release your ego and invite the Soul perspective. Your Soul perspective is timeless and eternal so it empowers you to be in the present. It gives you the perspective to release attachment and release your fears.

There is a phrase that I use in my personal life and to lead into each and every one of the guided meditations that I offer you. It is:

Calm your mind, open your heart, invite the light.
– Genevieve Gerard

Of course, calming your mind is important because in meditation you strive to reach the wisdom of your Soul. The ceaseless chattering of your mind interferes with your ability to contemplate, meditate or ponder with its busyness and noise. For many that noise is fueled by fear.

Learning to meditate is the optimum way to transcend, transmute, and transform your life to gain mastery over your fears. Perhaps that is the greatest and most empowering result of meditation.

Because of how freeing transmuting and transcending your fears can be and how that can support and empower your life to fulfill your Soul purpose I have a guided meditation “I Am Feeling Free” that is a cornerstone to my teachings about meditation. It allows you to learn how to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts.

Download your copy of I Am Feeling Free Guided Meditation MP3 Now.

In fact, since transmuting fear is such an important part of using the empowerment of your Soul to live a more enlightened life, I also created a longer and more detailed meditation of the technique called, “Feeling Free.”

Feeling Free

Calm Strong Emotions and Transmute Fears and Doubts.
Feel Renewed and Alive

When I first discovered this technique, I used it constantly. Now, many years later I still use it frequently. Using your Soul connection as a way of living a more free and enlightened perspective is the blessing of meditation that is both life changing and life transforming.

I suggest you “Ponder on this.”

Likewise, meditation opens you to the resource of the wisdom of your Higher Self (your Soul.) This wisdom can be the arbiter of truth and insight that you can make available to yourself when you use the advice to ponder on this (that you will find in my writings and the writings of the Ancient Wisdom.)

Setting aside a special time to meditate, is a way to empower this technique and your life. For some, the ritual of a special place in which to meditate is also helpful. Although neither a special place or a designated time is essential, it is something people have found helpful to encourage and maintain the discipline of the practice of meditation.

I have meditated for over 50 years of my life and can say without any hesitation that it has been the greatest source of strength, peace, and joy in my life. Over the 50 years, I have tried a wide variety of ways in which to meditate and each of them is valuable.

Although over my life the tools and techniques of meditation have changed as my life has changed, the practice of setting aside a special time for connecting with the Divine and my Soul hasn’t changed. Meditation opens the portal and supports both prayer and contemplation enriching my life in ways that bring peace, love, and joy into my life. I encourage you to meditate!

Meditation brings many gifts. That I see meditation as a gift of the Spirit is revealed in the name of several of my guided meditations that I offer to you:

The Gift of Love Guided Visualization Meditation
Open Yourself To The Energy Of Divine Love &
The Love That Your Soul Brings To You

The Gift of Relaxation Guided Meditation
A Guided Visualization To Release Stress

In my body of work, I offer many meditations that are based on the technique of “mindfulness meditation.” If you would like to be guided through a meditation you can access and utilize my meditations as mp3’s on Amazon, Apple iTunes, and a variety of other internet sites like CDBaby. I also have them available on my website https://genevievegerard.com/products.

For me, meditation has provided strength and support through the challenges of life, the pain, and the problems, and brought me to a place filled with Peace, Love, and Joy.

My offerings of this website, articles, and free and paid guided meditations, affirmations, and mantrams are my attempt to share with you the wisdom I have gained through pondering to bring joy to your life.

My website is over 1,500 pages of articles and insights you can use and share freely with your friends and community at no cost. It is an offering of Love as my gratitude for the grace I have received.

My paid guided meditations are a way to support my work in the world and are downloadable for your immediate use. Many of my guided meditations were created to give you tools and techniques for a happier and more successful life. Please support my work by downloading my meditations or make a donation to help continue our work and help individuals, like you, connect deeply with their Higher Self.

However, in all that I offer, free or fee, I encourage you to subject it to the wisdom of your Soul and “Ponder On This”, incorporating and using your own internal wisdom and guidance to choose what has the “ring of truth” and resonates for you right now.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Three Gifts of the Spirit – Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy

Genevieve Gerard

The Three Gifts of the Spirit: Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy

In your spiritual life, there are three gifts of the Spirit that help you experience the world of your Soul.

These three gifts are parts of your unified self that help you transition your consciousness from the binding limitations of your physical and material nature into the broader and more aware Spiritual nature. Those are the gifts of intuition, empathy, and telepathy that I will briefly discuss today.

Understanding Your Gifts

To fully appreciate and understand these gifts it helps to understand that as a human being you are a miraculous merging of the Divine force of creation, and bringing life and ultimately Love to material form. In order to understand this seeming contradiction, it is valuable to consider that there is more to life than we as living, breathing, and evolving beings know and comprehend.

Being a human is a unique creation, for we are granted many layers and aspects of life that must be merged and integrated to learn and grow. The different aspects of ourselves and our awareness require merging and blending that which is physical and material with that which is energetic and consciousness beyond our physical sensing and perceiving.

That we, as human beings have a physical and material presence is an indisputable fact of life. Yet, much of what we experience in life, especially what makes life worth living is not physical but energetic.

That our physical nature and the physical body is animal, while our consciousness is exploring what is, in essence, spiritual, makes the human adventure challenging. As a physical being, in a physical body, you can feel and experience many different things of a physical nature. Among these are sensations of both pleasure and pain. But, neither the experience of pleasure or pain give life a sense of meaning or purpose. Since the dawn of time, the sense of meaning and purpose is craved by humankind.

Meaning In Life

A sense of meaning and purpose come from the parts of our life and our consciousness that are not physical in nature, but rather energetic and Spiritual. This inherent understanding about life and our dual nature as both physical and Spiritual beings is captured in the realization that “the best things in life are free.” Finding meaning and significance in life quickly take you beyond what is simply physical and material about life. A life over-focused on the pleasures of life, like life over-focused on the pain in life is not fulfilling.

Balance In Life

As a dual being who is both physical and spiritual, balance is essential. Learning to understand and respect the material and animal aspect of your nature is vital. Healthy eating, physical exercise, as well as emotional and mental health are all important aspects of a successful life. So too is Spiritual exercise, meditation, mindfulness, prayer, and contemplation.

Balancing your physical needs with your Spiritual needs is integral to happiness, to be healthy and to being and becoming all you are meant to be. It is a mistake to focus all of your attention in only what is physical. And it is also a mistake to not honor and respect the part of your being that is Spiritual.

For some, or possibly many, the part of your being that is spiritual is more of a mystery. After all, your body can be seen, touched, smelled, heard and even tasted. Your Spirit, your Soul, is not as real to you. That is why you must learn to recognize and appreciate the ways that your Spirit speaks to you.

The Three Gifts of the Spirit

Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy are gifts of the Spirit and can be as real and recognizable to you as the physical senses, but since they are not physical, they require a different focus and attention. It helps to understand and acknowledge that you are both a physical and a Spiritual being.

You are not just your body, you are not just your emotions or just what you feel. Neither are you just your thoughts or what you are thinking. You are a Soul who uses a body for a span of time, who experiences emotions, who has lofty and inspiring thoughts who is an eternal and timeless being who grows and evolves your consciousness through living and learning and ultimately loving.
- Genevieve Gerard

Part of the way you grow and learn as a Spiritual being comes through what I call the gifts of the Spirit: Intuition, Empathy, and Telepathy. Developing and using these gifts helps you learn to function as the dual being that you are.

INTUITION

Listening to your intuition requires bringing your logical mind into your higher consciousness or intuitive mind.

Intuition transcends your awareness into a sense that is wider and less linear than logic and reason. At the time it even defies logic and reason, and that is why it is often hard to listen to your intuition.

Having already thought through a situation, and reaching a decision logically, intuition comes, usually at the very last moment when you are about to act, as a warning voice deep inside you.

To choose to act on your intuition instead of relying on your logic is not easy and may be criticized or judged by those around you. It takes both courage and a kind of faith in yourself to listen to your intuition, but in my life, whenever I have ignored it, I realize that I should have listened and paid attention or even acted upon the still small voice of my intuition.

It helps to realize that intuition is a way your Soul communicates with your personality to grant you a larger perspective.

EMPATHY

Empathy is a different Spiritual gift for it involves transcending the sense of separation and separateness that focusing on our individual nature and being engenders.

Empathy attunes you to the pain, problems, and joys of others. Some describe it as so intense that it might cause you pain.

Undeveloped as a Spiritual gift it can cause confusion and dismay if you are unaware that the source of the tension and unease in yourself is what you are actually picking up from another person.

While the purpose of empathy is to tune us into our ultimate Oneness, empathy must be cultivated with awareness and compassion to not be overwhelming.

TELEPATHY

Telepathy, like empathy, grants awareness into the thoughts of another.

Much like empathy tunes you into the emotions of another, telepathy gives a broader glance into the mind and considerations of another.

Telepathy results from a bond of Love that is not bound by attachment, but exists on the Soul Plane. Like intuition, both empathy and telepathy require your consciousness expanding beyond your logical mind.

These three gifts are often revealed and need to be developed in harmony with one another. Most significant is that both empathy and telepathy are often activated by you Loving someone, not in a sticky and attached way, but in a compassionate and aligned way that honors and respects the beloved while striving to support and empower the other.

Loves Role

I have found that while these gifts may tune you into the thoughts, emotions or needs of another person, it is wise to confirm your impressions. You can use these signals to stimulate sending the energies of Light or Love, but you should do it without your own needs, desires or attachments. That is honoring the teaching aspect of these gifts to help you learn how to Love another.

True Love is beyond emotion and beyond your personal needs and desires. Love creates a bond between Souls that is both beyond time and the world of matter. Love is a Spiritual essence that abides in the Spiritual realm.

Learning to Love is where your physical and your Spiritual natures combine to create something that is both real and eternal. Learning to Love is a gift beyond measure, and it is developed and enhanced as you learn to wield the Spiritual gifts of intuition, empathy, and telepathy. I believe these gifts of the Spirit help us learn to Love in that profound eternal way.

Ponder on this: The higher purpose is for you to learn to exercise these gifts of the spirit in order to demonstrate and enhance your Soul-to-Soul connection that Love provides.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The gift of Love on all that you do!

Forgiveness Sets You Free

Genevieve Gerard

Forgiveness Sets You Free

For many people, forgiveness is difficult, they wrongly associate forgiveness with weakness and victimhood. Those people are wrong.

There is great power in forgiveness. To forgive is a way of welcoming transformation in your life and will set you free.

Forgiveness, while it may seem to be an act of kindness to someone who has wronged you is, in fact, an act of kindness and compassion for yourself. Forgiveness is the only thing that can free you from the past.

Forgiveness is one of the most powerful and significant spiritual tools to transform your life. Forgiveness is an act that has a dual benefit. It benefits the one who forgives and the one who is forgiven. It is freeing and releasing.

If you forgive someone only to free yourself and let yourself move forward in life, forgiveness still has a powerful impact energetically in both mysterious and powerful ways. Forgiveness influences the karmic connection between you in another in ways beyond conscious awareness and experience.

Forgiving releases old attachment to the past and frees you to enter into present time. By forgiving, you open the opportunity for a positive change in your perspective, your understanding and your consciousness. You create the possibility for a new and better way for things to be.”
– Genevieve Gerard

Stop Being Trapped In The Past

When you forgive someone, you are no longer trapped in the hurts of the past. You are released and are free to begin a process of healing. You ignite and empower your life simply by having chosen to let go of what is in the past. That opens you to the present, to the NOW, to the unlimited potential of freedom, the freedom to be present and thereby experience what is now available, what is possible.

To choose not to forgive is weighing your present down with chains that keep you from being able to grow, to thrive, live fully and be free. That is a choice you can change today.

Amazingly, no matter how long you have clung to the pain, sorrow, and resentment of old wrongs, once you forgive, you can be released immediately.

You may feel a lightness, a peacefulness, a sense of being more centered or empowered.

The past, which you may have clung to relentlessly immediately losses its power over your life. In fact, forgiveness has such a positive and empowering influence in your life that I have often thought that forgiving is an act of self-love. Give forgiveness, not for the one who has wronged you, but for yourself.

Forgiveness opens you to a consciousness that is Divine in nature and aligns you with Love, Truth, and Grace. When you hold an unforgiving mind, you are trapped within focusing not only on how you have been wronged but also on thoughts of failure, sin, and separation from God.

The Course In Miracles puts it this way,
“Forgiveness is the key to Happiness.”
-pg.250 workbook for students.

Forgiveness opens you to a consciousness that allows you to experiment and make mistakes in life in full faith and confidence that you are a beloved child of God having the adventure to learn and explore all that life offers. You claim that power immediately when you forgive. By forgiving you automatically and spontaneously are provided forgiveness.

You don’t have to be perfect. You are not expected to be perfect. You are a human being, a being created in matter, and endowed with a spark of Divine Light.

Your life has a purpose in the Divine Plan of evolution. Learning and growing throughout life can be messy. It is O.K. to make mistakes. In fact, it is expected that you will make mistakes. That is how a human being transforms and its Soul learns.

Life lessons and life learning rely upon forgiveness as an energetic flow that allows you the freedom from the past and ushers you into the possibilities and potential of what is being created and emerging in front of you.

Not forgiving traps you outside of that free-flowing energy. Forgiveness opens you up again and relegates the past into the past where is the only place the wrong or harm exists.

Don’t Forget to Forgive Yourself

Forgiving others is important. However, it is also important to forgive yourself. To forgive yourself may seem to be the more difficult thing to do; still, it is of vital importance. To deny yourself self-forgiveness is to reject both the power and energy of grace and in a way which denies the very power and nature of God.

You can forgive yourself of past mistakes and foolishness or wallow in your shame and guilt, or you can forgive yourself. You can examine and explore your past and learn from the error of your ways. It is never too late to make a new start.

Each morning brings a new day, an opportunity to start anew and open to new possibilities. You can live your new life, one day at a time. This is always possible. In fact, that is the only way anyone can live, one day at a time. Forgiveness and self-forgiveness give you that gift.

The Essence of Love is Forgiveness

The nature of God is Love. The quality and essence of Love is forgiveness.

Refusing to accept God’s Love or forgiveness is refusing to accept life. Forgiveness wields the power of growth, transformation, and healing. When you forgive someone, you are opening to a dynamic force of healing and transformation. It empowers you and frees you as it enables and frees the person you forgive.

Forgiveness is an essential ingredient of Love. The life adventure of the Soul is learning and ultimately understanding how to Love; therefore, learning to forgive is vital. You can waste a lot of life shaming and blaming, or you can choose to learn to forgive. You can let go of past sorrows and open to the new possibilities that are emerging before you in the present.

Life and indeed the Law of Karma requires that you get the lesson until you learn the lesson. You don’t need to waste your energy on shame and guilt. You can pick yourself up and forgive your mistake and go forth and not make that mistake again. Demonstrating what you have learned becomes a vital part of incorporating a life lesson into your consciousness.

Over the experiences of life, you learn and grow. You become a better person, a wiser person, a more enlightened and aware person. Along the way, forgiveness is important for it opens you to the present and only in the present can you take on the next challenge and lesson life is offering you.

Forgiveness Techniques

It is clear that in life the energies of Love and forgiveness are entwined with gratitude and appreciation. A great example of this is the forgiveness technique of the Hawaiian cultures. A powerful forgiveness technique that comes to us from the Hawaiian shaman is a simple repletion of three simple phrases:

Thank you

I Love you

Please forgive me

These phrases come from the practice of Hoʻoponopono [ho-o-pono-pono] which is an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

I have found adding the words:

I forgive you

I’m sorry

Add to the effectiveness of the technique.

Remember that with the technique of forgiveness you are releasing both you and the one you felt wronged you from the actions of the past and are allowing transformation and healing to take place to set yourself free.

Today’s challenges are sufficient for today. Open your life to the new possibilities and potential that are coming to you today. Claim those possibilities and let your potential come into manifestation with the power of living in the present moment.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What You Can Do in the New Year to Create a Happy New Year

Genevieve Gerard

What You Can Do in the New Year to
Create a Happy New Year

When a New Year comes there is across the planet the hope and desire that the New Year that is being born will be better than the year that is now fading into history.

This desire is embedded in the hearts and minds of all people, everywhere.

Practice These Simple Ways in 2023
of Relating and Interacting With the World

As this New Year is being born, I would like to suggest some simple practices you can do that can empower your life to be better.

They are simple practices that cost nothing and yet have great value in creating a better world and a better life for you and your community. They set up energy that enhances and empowers you and encourages and strengthens others.

The more you practice them the easier and more habitual they become. In these simple ways, you become a way to make this world a better place. You become a co-creator of the world that has the power to make this New Year a happier and better year.

One of the most amazing Laws that govern the human experience is that “Energy Follows Thought.” This is not personal, but it is profound. If you practice these simple ways of relating and interacting with the world over this emerging year you will be engaging in creating magic that will have far-reaching results. Physics tells us that every action has a reaction. I have observed that energy sends out waves that make like attract like.

Energy is a subtle yet powerful force that transforms everything. I offer these simple practices for you to incorporate into your day and into your life as a little way that you can do something to change the world into more of the world that you desire.

I invite you to become an agent for change in the world by incorporating these little actions into your day as you move through life and interact with others.

You don’t have to be perfect or completely consistent when doing them, but they are their own reward. They will result in making the world a better place, but they will also enhance your own happiness. The more you choose to engage in this little New Year experiment the more people will join with you, thus becoming a dynamic force in your community.

This list I call “The Practice of Peace” and I invite you to think about and add to it.

The Practice of Peace List

Practice Kindness- Kindness costs you nothing and yet can provide hope and strength to someone who is burdened by sorrow. Make a habit of simple random acts of kindness to strangers, friends or family.
Smile- Make eye contact with another and let your smile communicate your Light and your understanding of our togetherness in this journey of life. It is free. Give your smile freely as you open your life. Smiling works with your psyche to stimulate happiness while you share with another.
Practice Patience- Let a little time pass when someone is in your way and holding you up. The few seconds or even minutes it takes will be compensated by the stress you are relieved from by slowing down and being patient.
Breathe- Give yourself the time to just take a deep breath and let yourself just be in the moment, right here and right now accept the gift of life and the lesson of abundance as you realize that what you need is freely available to you from the abundance of the world.
Find Something to be Grateful for- It could be a simple thing like the smell of the air or the caress of the breeze. Or it could be something someone did for you or gave you. Express that gratitude if appropriate. Enjoy the blessing even if it is just observing what is.
Think of Someone You Love- Just take a brief moment to remember and celebrate your love, imagining a thread of golden light connecting your hearts with no needs or expectations, just celebrating your Love.
Give Yourself a Chance to Just Be- take a few seconds, maybe even a minute to stop doing and let yourself just be. Appreciate the moment and just be in the present.
Take a Pause to Dream- Let your mind drift to imagine having something you desire. Enjoy the daydream and pause to consider what you might do to bring it into manifestation.
Release an Old Anger or Resentment- Take a breath and just let go of an anger or resentment you have been carrying. Let it float away and lift from you as you free yourself from the burden of the past.
Connect with Your Higher Self and Listen To Your Inner Wisdom– Take a little break from your busyness and align with your Higher Self and listen to the voice of your own wisdom.

As you build these practices into your life you are working toward Peace by permitting inner peace in your consciousness.

By practicing kindness, you are transforming the world into a kinder and more compassionate place.

By smiling, you are affirming and celebrating your connection and unity with others as we all journey through the life experience together.

By practicing patience, you are reminding yourself that a minute here and a minute there is available in the fabric of life. You have the time you need and you can let yourself use the time you have. Acknowledge the higher source in others.

Breathing deeply helps you relax and remain productive in a gentle and relaxed manner. It helps you stay energized and empowered and costs neither time nor effort to do.

Gratitude attracts to you more of what you appreciate. It works on a subtle energetic basis and connects you to the life force of abundance and accepting.

Thinking of someone you Love reminds you that you are not alone. You are connected to those you Love by invisible lines of force and you can draw upon that Love at random times throughout your day to keep you supported by the love in your life.

Letting yourself just be releases your stress and helps you notice what is good and right and positive in your life when you focus on what is in the present moment.

Your dreams will empower your life and are a way to fulfill your Soul purpose and your life purpose. Use them for inspiration and guidance as you release your intention into the world on the wings of your dreams.

Releasing anger and resentment is a powerful tool for freeing you from the tyranny of your past. You do not have to carry your hurts and what has harmed you into the present. Forgiving and releasing old resentments frees you to live in the present and have greater joy.

Connecting with your Higher Self is a way to shift your perspective from what is negative to what is positive. It opens you to a different perspective and allows a free flow of insight to empower you and enhance your life. Actually, taking the time to meditate is more powerful, but just a brief shift in your consciousness to remind yourself that as a human being you are also a spiritual being and your Soul is available to help and support you in life can change everything for the better.

Make these ten practices of peace a part of your daily routine and this year will be a Happy New Year.

Throughout this year remember your thoughts direct the energy of what comes to you and only you control your thoughts. Create Happiness, Create Joy, Create Love.

Namaste,

Genevieve
