Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Release Your Anxiety with Genevieve Gerard

Anxiety in life is a problem.

It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults suffer from anxiety of some kind in the United States.

Globally, 1 in 13 suffers from anxiety. 

Surprisingly women are twice as likely to be affected as men according to the Anxiety and Depression Association. 

According to the Anxiety Centre,

Those who have an anxiety may show these conditions:

  • Regularly feel overwhelmed
  • Feel nervous in many social situations
  • Are more often sick
  • Regularly feel unsettled
  • Often feel out of control of their health and life
  • Experience higher levels of overall stress
  • Often struggle with low self-esteem
    • Read more anxiety conditions…
  • Have difficulty managing pressure
  • Have higher expectations of themselves and others
  • Feel returned love is performance-based
  • Often have unhealthy boundaries
  • Are often workaholics
  • Often have unhealthy relationships
  • Visit the doctor more often
  • Tax the medical system (with frequent trips to their doctor or emergency rooms)
  • Are more likely to take medications
  • Are more likely to have other health problems
  • Are overall more unhappy
  • Experience erratic emotional behaviors
  • Feel disconnected or detached from reality and life
  • Often feel they are just on the edge of losing control
  • Often aren’t reliable (because their symptoms may prevent them from following through)
  • Become inward focused and dwell on their health condition and personal problems
  • May jump from relationship to relationship in search of perfection
  • May jump from job to job because of higher levels of stress
  • Live a restricted lifestyle (within their self-imposed “safe zones”)
  • Feel life is passing them by
  • Question their faith and God’s presence in their lives
  • Feel at a distance from God
  • Often quick to get angry

Only 10 percent with anxiety receive effective help

 

Unfortunately, they also state that only 10% of those suffering from anxiety receive effective help.

 

I believe that the issue on which you may have focused anxiety is actually focused on an illusion around which you have woven sufficient energy through your fears that it can feel very real.

 

 

It is important to realize that feeling something is real does not make it real.  It is important to recognize this when you want to conquer your anxiety.

If you sit quietly and examine your thoughts and feelings that are fueling your anxiety, you will most likely realize that it is a lot of projections that begin by imagining “what if ____ happens?”

That awareness begins to unravel the substance of the anxiety to allow you to be free from it when you realize that whatever you are imagining has not happened, and may not likely happen.

You must remember that your fears and your anxiety are a projection of your mind, mixed in with your imagination, not only about what “could happen” but often what you imagine others could be thinking or feeling.

None of your imaginings are real or true.

Realizing that your anxiety and the thoughts and emotions that are creating and fueling your anxiety are neither real or the truth, is a first step in relieving yourself from the tyranny of anxiety with which you are torturing yourself.

It might sound strange but a way to relieve your anxiety is to understand the principles of how the Universe works.

Unfortunately, when you suffer from anxiety, you are using a Universal Law that “Energy Follows Thought.” That principle, that Law, is a gift and when rightly used can empower you to stand as a co-creator with the Creator and manifest the life of your dreams.

The Universal Law that energy follows thought becomes distorted and destructive when you let your fears use this dynamic creative energy to create a web and maze that begins to take on the substance of matter to lock you into your thoughts and mind.

By using the creative power of your imagination, you can, unfortunately, feed your fears and fundamental distrust of life until your anxiety is so painful and intense that it can control your life.  However, you can use the same principle to free yourself from your anxiety.

The Law that energy follows thought is real manifests from an aspect of the Law of Attraction.  However, when you are trapped in the emotional experience of anxiety, you have turned that power against yourself.

Anxiety is the result of creating in your emotional body and mind, all of the horrors and nightmares you can imagine, and being an intelligent and creative being, you can imagine a lot.

The Keys To Free Yourself From Anxiety

The question with which you are faced with if you suffer from anxiety is how to free yourself from that trap?  The most powerful tool that you can wield when experiencing anxiety is the TRUTH.

Discriminating between what is real vs. what is created by fear, worry and anxiety is the key to freeing you from being trapped by the tyranny of your emotions and your mind.

Asking yourself for a reality check is a dynamic tool for relieving anxiety.  Is this real?  Did it happen? Or, am I just projecting and imagining what could happen?

The power of your thought is to create, however; you can have control over your thoughts.

Even though the creative power of your mind can be incredible, the illusion can feel so real that you can feel powerless to release it.  I believe because your anxiety is created by emotional and astral energy, it cannot manifest in the world of matter.

The key words in this thought are that it “feels real.”  Just because something feels real does not make it real.  So one of the steps in relieving anxiety is to begin to be aware that the feeling is an illusion.  That does not mean that doesn’t seem real, but appearing real and being real is different.

The good news for you, if you suffer from anxiety, is that you have proved that you have a compelling mental body.  When you learn to use that force for you rather than against yourself you can use it activate your power to manifest your dreams and desires.

To release yourself from the tangled web of emotions and fears that have kept you trapped inside the web of anxiety you have woven, you need to understand how to use your creative energy.

Once you have allowed your fears to form and to become so much substance it produces anxiety, it is critical to shift and engage in the process of transmutation, transformation and ultimately transcendence.

That power is yours.  That ability is uniquely yours.

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.
                          – Wayne Dyer

You can relieve and release your feelings of anxiety by applying a test of truth to them.

Doing that works with the laws of energy that respect the fact that whereas you cannot destroy energy, you can change its form.

When you change its form, you can relieve your anxiety and release your fears.  Once you have done this, you can use the creative talent that you honed to perfection in creating anxiety to create the life you desire.

You can use the same Universal Law and power that you turned against yourself to gain mastery of your life.

Relieving anxiety and transmuting, transforming and transcending the emotion of fear that underlies and is interwoven within it requires a conscious choice.

To help you with that choice I have created a short simple visualization exercise to start to relieve and release your anxiety.

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety Visualization

   Click play icon below to listen to me reading this visualization to you (under 2 minutes)..

Sit quietly and begin to breathe deeply.

Fill your lungs from the bottom up, first relaxing your stomach muscles.  As you take more and more air into your lungs, let your chest expand and fill.

Then let the air expand into the upper part of your lungs even raising your shoulders a bit topping off your breath.

Imagine a flock of white birds before you.  These are healing birds, here to take your anxiety away.

As you breathe out give your breath to this healing flock of birds.  Let them absorb your anxieties and fears until you have no more air in your lungs to offer them.

Now, imagine, visualize, see them flying away.  They are flying higher and higher, further and further away from you until they are out of sight, and out of mind.

Now let your breath return to normal.  You may be aware of how much more peaceful and calm you feel, right now.

You can do this little exercise whenever you need to release your anxiety.

Tools to Release Your Fears and Anxieties

There is, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom a meditation technique that works to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts.

It is a technique that I used in my own spiritual life hundreds of times a day to gain mastery over my fears and anxieties.

I Am Feeling Free Meditation by Genevieve Gerard

It is such a powerful and life-transforming technique that I created two guided meditations to teach it. 1.) A shorter and simpler version called “I Am Feeling Free” and 2.) A longer and more detailed version called “Feeling Free.”

These meditations, once you learn how to move the energy with intention, can be done in less than a minute.

They can also be done as you move through your daily life to release your fears and anxieties as soon as you become aware that you are becoming trapped by them.  What is great is that no one else can see you or know you are using them.  It puts you in control of your feelings.

You move the energy with the power of your mind, your intention, your will, your breath and the engagement of your Higher Self.

You are, with these brief meditations able to exercise your control in your life, over your mind and emotions.  It is your power to use.

Becoming free of your anxiety, freeing your life from the tyranny of fear will change your life.

Unweaving the web of anxiety that you have built and created takes using these tools that have been handed down by those who guided humanity on the path of enlightened awareness for eons.

These meditative tools are now available to help you master your fears and anxieties so you can be and become all that you are meant to be, that you can live the life of your dreams and fulfill your Soul’s purpose in this life.

Know that meditation can be the portal to your Soul (your Higher Self).  You can use the power of your Soul to free you from your anxiety and fears and to empower you to use your mind as a force for good in your life and good in the world.

Isn’t today the day you would like to begin the process of unraveling the illusions and fears that have kept you trapped within your anxieties?  There is no better time than Right NOW to Take Control of your life.

Your intention to transform your life and heal your life is an excellent place to start.

Your fears do not serve or help you.  And, indeed, your anxieties do not serve you or empower you.

It is your choice to make, but it is both possible and advantageous for you to choose mastery over this life challenge.

Today is the day, and now is the moment that you can choose to live your life freeing yourself, being and becoming your whole self.
                  – Genevieve Gerard

The Power You Unleash When You Dream

The Power You Unleash When You Dream

Unleash Your Dreams by Genevieve Gerard

As the calendar of time shifts from one year to the next the magic of creation is released into the world.

It is a magic you can use to empower your life.

It is by daring to dream that you unleash this magic.

It is by daring to dream that you can explore new possibilities and transform your life.

Your life has a purpose.  There is a reason for your life, a reason held deep within the mystery of time itself.

Every experience you have had in your life, positive and negative has brought you to this moment in the annals of time.  Every success you have had or mistake from which you have learned prepared you for NOW.

When you pause and think about where you are in this moment in your life, something special happens.  Your understanding can be freed as you realize that no matter what mistakes you may have made in life, they are all in the past.  And in some miraculous way, they have prepared you for exactly what is being created to come into manifestation right now.

As the days of time unfold from last year to this new year it is time to consider the life you have dreamed of.  Your dreams, your desires are the treasure map of your life’s adventure.  This is especially true, and especially powerful when you take this time as an opportunity to align your life with your Soul purpose.

Your Soul is the part of your spiritual anatomy that has vast power.  And, it is your Soul that engages you in your co-creator role with God.  Being a spark of Divine Light, both grants you certain privileges and calls you to certain responsibilities in your life.

Fuel Your Dreams

Even your Angels, especially your Guardian Angel are aligned with your Soul Purpose, your life purpose.

Amazingly your dreams provide the revelation of guidance that is unlocked and unleashed when you dare to dream.  So, take some time during this transition from one year to the next to consider what you want, what you need and let your creative mind fuel your dreams through your imagination.

Dreaming is the perfect tool to ignite your creativity.

Dreaming is a creative exercise when aligned with your Soul and aligned with Divine Will in your co-creator role as a “child of God.”
                     -Genevieve Gerard

Dreaming activates the universal laws of creation.  It can be powerful beyond your understanding.

Empower Your Life With Your Dreams

As I write these words to you, I am aware that in order for you to empower your life with your dreams there may be some things you need to address to unlock the full potential of using your dreams to create your life.

You may have been criticized in your life for being a “dreamer.”  If so, I ask you to firmly, with clear intention put that criticism in your past.

I invite you to step into the creative role of being a dreamer, recognizing that your dreams can be the blueprint for creating your future.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
                      – Eleanor Roosevelt

Active Dreaming

I invite you to engage in an exercise and technique I call Active Dreaming.

I ask you to practice this technique of active dreaming for 5 minutes a day, for the next 21 days.  Before you engage in your practice of Active Dreaming I ask that you prepare yourself with these four simple steps:

  1. Go to a place you will not be disturbed for 5 minutes.
  2. Turn off any background noise that you can so your distractions are minimal.
  3. Place your spiritual journal with a writing implement in easy reach.
  4. As you begin your Active Dreaming Exercise get comfortable, sitting in a chair or couch with your spine aligned, not lying down, with your feet on the floor.

 

Active Dreaming Exercise

 

  1. Take a very deep breath and as you draw in the breath draw in vitality and creative life energy. And as you exhale release any stress you may have been holding in your body.

    2.  

  2. Then taking in another very deep and relaxing breath 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.

    3.  

  3. For the next few moments, while you actively dream notice that each breath that you take, deep or shallow teaches you and confirms for you that life is providing exactly the amount of air that you need, in exactly the proportion in which you need it for energy and vitality.

     

    Trust that what you need is available for you to create and manifest your life’s purpose, your Soul purpose. Ponder on this.

    4.  

  4. Now, as you pause and reflect, consider your life. Consider your dreams and desires.  Let your mind and your imagination run free for at least five minutes. 

     

    What would change in your life if you were living the life of your dreams? 

     

    How would that feel? 

     

    Let your mind fill in as many details as you can while you engage in this active dreaming exercise.  There are no limits to what is possible in your dream. 

     

    Let your mind be free.  Examine and explore ideas you have never considered before.  Suspend all your judgments. 

     

    This is a time for creative exploration.  There are no limitations with creative exploration, there are only new possibilities and opportunities.

    5.  

  5. Then, release your dreams with no attachment to them. Take another deep and relaxing breath and release with the exhale any fears that may have arisen during your active dreaming time.

    6.  

  6. Now, take another few moments to record in your spiritual journal any ideas you may have had that you do not wish to forget.

    7.  

  7. Before you return to your normal day and normal activities consciously align your will with Divine Will and call upon you Angels to assist you in manifesting your dreams as long as they are in alignment with Divine Will and for the highest good of all.

 

You may wish to expand the time allocated to 10 or 15 minutes a day to allow adequate time for your spiritual journal entry.

Then go about your day freely.

Keep up this Active Dreaming exercise as a part of your life for the next 21 days.  You may notice how you are able to see new possibilities and new opportunities more often.  You may notice you have more hope in your heart.  You might observe you have less negative self-talk or are naturally releasing some of your limiting beliefs.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

The Longing to Be Loved

The Longing to Be Loved

Longing To Love by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

As we enter the new year I have been thinking about the need for Love.

Longing for Love seems to be a common denominator of the human experience.

Have you ever wondered why love is so important?  Have you ever thought life would be a whole lot easier if you had never loved?  Have you ever wished that you did not have this deep need bursting inside of you to give love and the even more troublesome need to receive love?

Love seems to be an inconvenient essential in life.  Ironically, love is both the source of life’s greatest joys and life’s most profound sorrows.

Somehow, mystically and almost magically, learning to love is woven into the very fabric of life.  Both the urge to love and the heart-wrenching need to be loved can be inescapable.

Since love seems to be so essential in life, you might think it should not be the source of so much confusion and pain.  Since the need to love another and the need to be loved is so prevalent, you might think love would be easy to give, and easy to receive.  After all, love is something we all need and all long to give.

The Life Lesson of LOVE

Why, I have often asked myself as a counselor and life coach, is it so hard for people to learn how to love, and why is it so hard for people to let themselves receive love?  As I ponder this question, I am aware that I have come to believe that learning about love is one of the essential lessons of life.

As I say these words, I must clarify that I mean that love is much more than a life lesson, I mean that it is THE life lesson.  I believe it is the lesson life was created to learn.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
                      – Dalai Lama

Our world, our bodies, our life, is the simultaneous merging of what is material and temporal with what is eternal and spiritual; Love is what brings these two very diverse worlds together.  Part of the life lesson of love is learning what and how to love.  Confusing these issues is easy.

You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.
               –  Archbishop, Futon Sheen

The more I ponder and consider the meaning of life and my own life’s purpose I am aware that learning to love is the lesson we all are exploring in our life adventure.  The way we learn to love may be unique to each individual, but the theme expressed throughout a myriad of manifestations is consistent.

The future success of humanity is dependent upon love winning, we all, you and me, must learn to love.  Love is the underpinning for guiding and directing Right Human Relationships.  Love is more than the passionate emotions of longing and attachment that are often ascribed to it.

Love Can Be the Answer to All Life’s Questions

Love ironically can serve as the guide by which you can answer most if not all of life’s questions.  Since learning the lessons of Love seem to be the motivation behind life’s varied experiences I would like to suggest a little question I often asked myself when facing a decision.  That question is:

How is Love best served in this situation?

It is not a simple answer.  To give in and give someone what they want may not serve Love.  This is a lesson that any family member of someone plagued by an addiction of any kind has needed to learn.

Love is not best served when you harm yourself in the name of Love.  That is not Love.  That is not what love requires of you.  And, most importantly, that is not how you love unconditionally.

Misconceptions About Love

The Media and a multitude of “chick flicks” and romance novels propagate a lot of misinformation about Love.  What may make a good drama because it accurately reflects the pain and pathos of emotions is not the guide for how love is best served in life.

These illusions and glamours about love lead to lots of heart-brake and heart-ache as you strive to make Love into what it is not to meet these fantasy images.  That leads to a profound misunderstanding about the nature of love.  That misconception is that “Love Hurts.”

It is not Love that hurts.  It is unmet and unfulfilled expectations that hurt.  Again, I state, it is not Love that hurts.  It is actually the failure to Love that hurts.

To learn what Love is is essential.  However, it is of as much importance to learn what is Not Love.

This is particularly difficult when the person creating harm to you or pain in your life tells you that they love you.  It is important to understand what is not love, in order to free yourself from those who use the need to love and be loved as the basis for manipulating and harming you.  This false identification of love is sadly the most significant abuse of the innate desire to love and be loved.  It has left a string of broken hearts and broken lives across the planet.

Loving Yourself

Freeing Love from the illusions and misunderstandings that are often sold in the world as love requires understanding how to Love Yourself.

When you answer the question “How is Love Best Served?” loving yourself must also be considered.

Loving Yourself is an important life decision and an essential spiritual decision.  The result of the illusions and delusions about love that media’s misinformation campaign has created is that you are tempted and encouraged to accept abuse and pain in the name of love.  It is essential to discriminate and understand that criticism and abuse are not love.

Self-sacrifice is not noble.  Allowing yourself to be harmed is against what Love means. Part of Loving yourself is creating boundaries and honoring yourself.

Balancing what is right to give in a situation with the self-respect and honoring yourself is what loving demands.  It is the background against which learning to Love is played.

Sometimes giving someone what they want is not loving.  Sometimes is not even helpful when you consider the whole situation.  Woven into the answer to the question of “How is Loved Best Served?” is the awareness of the long-term implications of a situation, and the unintended consequences that can happen when you do not consider self-respect and harmlessness as part of the decision that is important.

This merging of the consideration of how Love is best served is stated eloquently by Shakespeare in Hamlet, Act 1 scene 78-82:

“This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Loving yourself, being true to yourself, taking care of yourself are all important parts of learning to love.  Not only learning to love yourself, but learning to love another.

The Longing to Be Loved & Give Love

The longing to be loved and the deep longing to give love are part of human nature.  Yet, the yearning to give love and express love is also a part of your Soul’s nature.  This makes Love both unique and important because it is in loving that your material and animal nature needs and desires can also express your Spiritual essence.

It is in this blending of your Soul (your Divine Spark) and your Personality (your body, emotions, and mind) that happens when you love another or are loved that a miracle happens.  That miracle is that something that is eternal is created in your temporal and material life.
                        – Genevieve Gerard

Love becomes the bridge in consciousness that opens you to the life of your Soul, whose nature is love and whose very essence is Love.

Love is what makes life worth living.  It is the core of personal joy and the essence of all meaningful relationships from friends to lovers.

Learning to Love weaves together in a fantastic life tapestry two essential lessons that make life work.  One is how to love yourself, and the other is how to love another.  In those lessons, you learn to express your dual nature as a human being and your Spiritual nature as a spark of Divine Light. Ponder on this.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Pray with Me to Help Our Planet

A Christmas Prayer

Pray with Me to Help Our Planet

Pray With Me Christmas Prayer by Genevieve Gerard

 

We call for the Christmas Angels, during this time of year to hear the heartfelt plea of humanity for Peace on Earth.

 

Pray with me now…

 

 

 

A Christmas Prayer

 

We ask for the Spirit of Peace to descend to our struggling planet where peace remains only a dream to touch the hearts and minds of men and woman across the world that the path to peace and the possibility of Peace becomes the enlightening vision of the Christmas star.

On this night where across the world, people everywhere celebrate the birth of the one known as the Prince of Peace we invoke the inspiration of new solutions to old-world problems.

Lord let Angelic wings spread the joy of Angel’s message heralded on first Christmas, the message of Eve of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men.

At this miraculous moment in the evolution of life on this planet let the power of Love heal humanity of the selfishness and greed that damages and destroys so much of life.

The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium by Genevieve Gerard

 

As the Angels descend accompanied by the Mega Angel “The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium,“ let Love prevail.

As the world celebrates the birth of the Christ Child in a manger in Bethlehem let me open my heart to the birth of the Christ in the cave of my heart.  As this miracle begins to transform my life I ask that it touch the hearts of all in leadership positions around the world.

Let hearts across the world be enlightened by all who have served humanity along its long pathway. As it teaches and guides us knowing that by opening to Divine Love, Divine Grace, Divine Truth, and Compassion we can come to a right relationship with you, Divine Creator and right relationship with all of your creation.

We, the people of the world, pray for a Christmas miracle, the miracle of Peace on Earth, the miracle of brotherhood/sisterhood and compassion to extend beyond all borders.

Earth Prayers by Genevieve Gerard
Earth Prayers

We ask that Light, Love and Power restore the plan on earth, right here, right now!

Divine Creator have mercy on us, your struggling creation of humanity.  Let Grace descend with forgiveness for our failures.  We invite the Grace of the Divine Mother to flood the earth with the grace of forgiveness as our hearts are moved to forgive all who have harmed and wronged us.  Teach us how to Love and how to Live according to Your design, Divine Creator, the design that was in your mind at the moment you declared “Let there be Light.”

Touch our heart, our minds, and our Souls.  Open the heavens to the hosts of Angels who come to earth to help, heal and supports us.

We invoke with the Heavenly Hosts and all who have guided us to You.

Let Light and Love and Power restore the plan on Earth.

For your abundant blessings and eternal Love, we give thanks as we declare “so be it” as it becomes so.

What Are You Grateful For

What Are You Grateful For?

Grateful by Genevieve Gerard

Take a minute and think about abundance and gratitude during the Thanksgiving Day holiday (in the U.S.A.)

It seems to be a good time to consider the importance of gratitude in life.

It is an excellent time to take a moment to consider how being grateful can impact and influence your life.

One thing that I am aware of as I pause to look at my life with an attitude of gratitude is that there is always something for which I am grateful.

It can be a very small or simple thing, for what is more important than that for which I am grateful. And it is what happens in my consciousness when I express my gratitude.

The amazing thing is that the very moment in which I identify something for which I am thankful my perspective changes, and I am invited to experience hope, love, and joy.

You might ask why do hope, love, and joy spring into my consciousness when I am thankful?  To understand that opens me to understanding one of the primary laws of the Universe.  The Law that “energy follows thought.”

The Universal Law of Energy Follows Thought

That universal law is how you as a human being are an active force in co-creation with the Creator.  It is through this Universal Law that “energy follows thought” that you possess a power you can wield in the world.  Each time you take the time to notice and appreciate what is good in the world and beautiful in your life, you participate in the work of creating more of what you enjoy in the world.

This concept that “energy follows thought” is the cornerstone of the Law of Abundance.  It is the mechanism through which you as a human being, endowed with the spark of Divine Light, are invited to be a co-creator with the Creator of Life.  In this statement is a profound truth that reveals deep magic. Ponder on this.

It is this understanding you can use to create the life of your dreams.  It is a power you can wield to fulfill your Soul’s purpose and manifest it in the world.

It is a powerful tool that requires clarity and consistency.  For that reason, it is often ignored or misunderstood.

What it is essential to understand the Law of Attraction is that it is a law.  It is always at work.  It does not discriminate between thoughts of what you want and thoughts of what you fear.  The energy is activated into creation by the thought.

If you wish to use the Law of Attraction to manifest what you dream and desire, you must learn to control your thoughts.  The endless chatter of your mind only creates confusion.

Whenever you send out a hodgepodge of fear, mixed in with half-formed ideas that switch to different half-formed ideas, the Universe does not know what to create for you.  It does not know what you want.

Only you can tell the Universe when you want to activate the Law of Attraction.  To do that you must learn to harness the power of your mind.

Un-disciplined mind chatter sends out confused requests to the Universe.  It is also usually so interwoven with your fears that it becomes like listening to the mindless chatter of a bunch of drunken monkeys as the Buddha described the contents of the mind, many years ago.

A Time For Gratitude

This day of Thanksgiving (in November in the US and October in Canada) is a time when you consistently and consciously focus on what you appreciate in order to activate terrific energy in your life.

Focusing on gratitude is a force to release Hope, Love, and Joy.
                         – Genevieve Gerard

As I mention above, I associate focusing on gratitude as a force to release Hope, Love, and Joy.

To take advantage of this special time to empower your life and support you in manifesting your Soul Purpose and fulfill your dreams, I offer you a little no-cost simple exercise anyone can do.  I suggest you give this activity at least 10 or 15 minutes.

If you keep a journal, I suggest you get your journal and use it for this exercise.  If you don’t have a journal, just get out some paper and a pen to record your thoughts and feelings.

Gratitude & Blessings Exercise

This exercise is to ignite the Law of Abundance and demonstrate how the dynamic principle that “energy follows thought” helps you manifest in the world.

While you are doing it, it is imperative that you maintain awareness of what you are thinking.  If you observe a negative thought, fear, or a limiting belief slipping in, stop immediately and reframe, edit and bring your thoughts back into alignment with the attitude of gratitude.

It does not matter how much time you have set aside to do this gratitude exercise, you need to stop and reframe any negative thoughts. Do not let a fearful or negative thought remain unedited.  Each time you catch yourself sending out an idea that conflicts with what you want, STOP, Correct, and reframe that thought into what you desire.

I suggest you read these instructions once through and then come back and do the exercise.

Now let’s get started by relaxing and centering your energies.  Take a deep, relaxing and satisfying breath.

Then, for the next 10-15 minutes write as fast as you can as many of the things for which you are grateful…

They can be simple and small things or significant and grand things.  Just capture as many as you can on paper while making sure you do not let any thoughts that are fear based or limiting remain unedited or uncorrected.

Do this free of judgment or self-criticism.  If you catch yourself being negative or fearful, just let it go and focus on the corrections, editing, and reframing of the thought.  If you catch yourself being fearful, release that fear with a deep breath.

Let your energy re-center with the intentions of finding as many blessings as you can count to create your “What Am I Grateful For” Gratitude & Blessing List.

Return to writing and pondering the many things you appreciate about your life.

GG Thanks You

When your allocated time is finished, take the time to read over the list.  When you hit upon something or someone for which you are especially thankful, smile.  If it is someone, let a beam of love go from your heart to theirs and in your mind, bless them and thank them.

 

You might notice how happy and contented this little exercise has made you feel.  You might be aware of how much hope you feel.  Your heart may be full of Love along with the gratitude.

Then, I suggest that you take this list of written blessings and review it every morning for 30-days.

Observe the difference this makes in your life.

I would love to hear your comments below about your experience with this exercise.

With Love and Support for you to Be and Become All That You Can Be.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

As You Watch the Dawn Break

As You Watch the Dawn Break

Watch The Dawn Break by Genevieve Gerard

You know there is a magic to the breaking of each dawn.

The fading of the dark reminds us that the Light is stronger than the dark.

No matter how hopeless things may seem, the emerging of the Light tells you that a new day is emerging, and with it come new possibilities and new opportunities.

With the emerging of the Light, you can shed the past.  This day has never been before.  The creative potential of today is just coming into being, born on the wings of the Light.

Let the winds of hope blow into your life.  Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Dare to dream.  Dare to create the changes that will bring your life purpose into manifestation.

This moment as the world recovers from the dark ignites your will and intention to bring your dreams into being.  Drop your fears into the flames of your desire and watch them turn to ash.

What will you make of this day?  Will it mark the turning point where you open your heart and mind to the possibilities that life is offering you?

The Light reminds you that today has never been here before.

Something spectacular can be created today, something that has never been before.  Take a step into your destiny with gratitude for this opportunity to create your life.

Your thoughts, your dreams, your desires become the directive force by which life gathers substance for creating.  Use them to create all that you need from the rich abundance of the Universe.

Seize the day.  Open your life to the power of success.  Look around you and see where you can do something good.  Where can you and your life make a difference?  What can you do today that you have never done before?  This dawn, this moment is bursting with creative energies.

Your life has a purpose, a purpose only you can fulfill.  You have been blessed with the creative power of your mind to achieve that purpose.  You were created to do just that at this moment in time.

Call upon the wisdom of your Higher Self for inspiration.  Shed your doubts, your fears and any limiting beliefs that may have held you prisoner in the past.  The past is over with the coming of Dawn’s Light.  Today is a new day.

Call upon your guiding and guardian angels to guide you.  Calm your mind as you open your heart.  Open your life to the Divine abundance that is yours as a child of God.

All that you need to manifest your destiny is promised with the dawning of this new day.

Take a deep breath and realize that life provides you with the air for free.  What else is available for you for free that you may not have seen before because like the air it is invisible?  Draw in the energy you need from the Source of the Universe that provides freely from its rich storehouse of abundance for you.

Accept the blessings that surround you to create the life you desire.

Harness the tremendous creative power of your mind.

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

Believe in yourself.

Create goals as you realize that:

Goals are dreams with deadlines.
                   – Napoleon Hill

This day will never come again.  Use it wisely!

New opportunities are emerging everywhere.  Open your eyes and let them see what is possible. Open your heart to the unlimited potential that is your birthright, open your mind to creative solutions and open your Soul to guide your steps.
                – Genevieve Gerard

There are within this day 1,440 moments, and at each moment you decide.  That gives you 1,440 opportunities to transform your life NOW.

That “energy follows thought” is a rule of the Universe.  Use that Law to manifest what you have dreamed.  Harness that energy with joy and celebration that as the Light overcame the darkness, you can overcome whatever challenges or obstacles life may have placed in your path.

This Universal rule that “energy follows thought” is the key to the “Law of Attraction.”  It is the power to transform your life into the life of your dreams.

The ability to transform your life and your world is in your heart, your mind and your Soul.  Open to the guidance they provide.  Open to the promise of this new day.

Today I Choose To:

  1. Put away my doubts by asserting I Can and I Will.
  2. Conquer My Fears by realizing they are false illusions that I no longer need.
  3. Invite my Higher Self to infuse my mind with creative solutions.
  4. Open My Heart to Love.
  5. See through the Eyes of Compassion.
  6. Express Gratitude for the many Opportunities and Blessings that are coming to me today.
  7. Do what Kindness I can along the way.
  8. Celebrate the Wonder and Majesty of life.

Let the power of the new day infuse you with a new way of being.

Dare today.  Dare to dream.  Dare to try new things.  Dare to silence your fears.  Dare to claim your birthright as a co-creator with God.  Dare to dance to a different drummer.  Dare to connect with your Soul today. 

All of these possibilities come with the hope, promise, and power of the dawn, the dawn of today.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

If we open our heart and deeply consider what we have been learning in life that has given us the most joy and the most challenges, we can see that love is a predominant theme.

The very possibility of resurrection defies the laws of matter as we understand them. Resurrection is the ultimate victory over death. Resurrection is the triumph of spirit over matter.

It takes only a few moments in any situation to see how rare and extraordinary kindness is.  Even among friends and families, even while professing to love one another there is often cruelty.  In many groups teasing is disguised as affection. When that is the norm, there is an emotional confusion between what you experience and what you know to be true in your inner self.  This confusion leads to misinterpreting what love is. Is… (13,526)

Fear stops you from being who you know yourself to be truly. It limits you in many little ways that destroy the joyful spontaneity of life.

I Want To Be My Whole Self

I Want To Be My Whole Self

Be Your Whole Self by Genevieve Gerard

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

When your lower-self (your personality [body, emotions, and mind]) merges with your higher-self (your Soul which is the essential part of you into which your Divine Spark is embedded) you become empowered by your whole-self.

In your natural life journey, there is a development process that goes on throughout your life between your lower-self (personality) and your higher-self (Soul.)

This developmental process occurs naturally but for you may be unconscious.  When you invite the integrative process of your Soul to merge with your personality, you bring into your consciousness a greater awareness and empowerment of your life’s purpose.

Most likely, inviting your Soul to be an active player in your life is not something you learned to do in Sunday School.  After countless hours in churches and listening to countless hours of homilies and sermons I can say the Soul is rarely mentioned.  Even the Bible does not specifically teach you how to activate and engage with your Soul.

Although throughout your life, your Soul may have opened to you its presence, your conscious awareness of your Soul may have well been hit or miss.  You may have felt your Soul most present in times of heart-wrenching sorrow when a loved one has died.  And, that pain and compassion may have driven you to your knees and opened your mind and heart to the Presence of your Soul, although it’s doubtful that you were consciously aware that your Soul was the comforter.

I believe your Soul may have given you insight through your intuition that may have saved you or a friend from harm’s way.

I believe that your Soul is willing to step in at times of crisis as an act of Love or Grace, but to really provide the power and majesty of which it is capable it requires a relationship.

Most likely you have been raised from infancy to focus on your five material senses as the way you experience the world.  Any insights you may have experienced beyond the reality of those physical senses is usually discouraged by parents, adults and those who are not seeing or feeling what you might be experiencing.  This limitation is factual across most cultures and is especially true in the Western world.

This emphasis on the physical and material world has led to a long span of evolution that denies awareness of the spiritual realm.  This tendency has limited the education and knowledge of the Soul to mystics such as Hafiz, King David (in the Psalms) or Osho. Without this spiritual education, you are left with a part of you that is missing.

You may have unconsciously longed for contact from and connection with your Soul, while steadfastly ignoring or denying the reality of anything spiritual.  You may have turned to religion to find out about your Soul, but religion, unfortunately, is currently usually not the source for learning how to develop a relationship with your Soul.

All religions are true, but none are literal.
           – Joseph Campbell

The core belief of these spiritual writings of King David, Hafiz, Osho, and other spiritual writers you might cherish is that within every human heart is the longing for connection and relationship with your Soul.

No matter which religions or religious beliefs each of these inspired writers serve, their words call to you because the Soul, your Soul, is calling to be part of you through their wise words.

How To Be Whole

If you listen to the yearning of your heart, you will find a longing to love and be loved.  Your Soul is the portal of Divine Love.  When you bring your Soul into active relationship with your personality, body, emotions, and mind, you start a process of integration that brings joy and wisdom to your life. This Soul integration with your personality makes you whole.

Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes.
          –  Paramahansa Yogananda

The Soul is universal and beyond any dogma or religion.  Connecting with your Soul, and engaging in the process of merging your Soul with your lower-self “personality” is also beyond any dogma or doctrine.  It is universal and the next step in the spiritual journey of humanity.

Almost everybody agrees that you have a Soul.  When touched, that awareness opens you to the true nature of the Divine and the unifying principle of Love that transcends religious bigotry or dogma disagreements.

When you consciously open your life to increased Soul awareness and Soul control, you are engaging in what I have referred to as Soul/Personality merging.  Something I have called “The Greatest Merger and Acquisition Project Ever.”  This is when you can live a full life that is Soul infused.

Advantages of Connecting With Your Soul

Connecting with your Soul connects you with your internal source for Divine Wisdom and Divine Guidance.  Your Soul is the teacher that always knows and understands what you need at every phase and step of your life.  Your Soul as your teacher and guide aligns you with the Divine, however, you understand the Divine to be.

PHYSICALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your physical body facilitates healing on many levels.  For some, it is resolution and relief of pain.  It can also manifest as a sense of deep and profound relaxation.  When aligned with your Soul, it might be that you realize that your breath is more accessible, more profound and each breath you breathe is more fulfilling.

EMOTIONALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your emotional body frees you to forgive, let go of deep and troubling resentments.  It fills you with a profound peace and calm that releases closely held negative emotions, such as fear and anger.  As your emotional body fills with Soul Light, there is also an activation of Love, deep in your heart.  That Love brings you awareness of unconditional love and Divine Love.

MENTALLY

Inviting your Soul Light into your mind opens you to insight and ignites your intuition.  It also activates more creative thinking and has a dynamic impact on problem-solving in your life.

It is because of all of these powerful advantages that with every guided meditation that I create I invite you into the meditative state by asking you to “Calm Your Mind,” “Open Your Heart,” and “Invite the Light of your Soul.”

Your “personality” is the integrator of those three significant energies of the human experience.   When you consciously and with an intention (supported by meditation) affirm these embedded suggestions you are taking a significant step forward in your human evolution experience.

You are embarking on an adventure to become a new kind of human being, a human being who is aware of and in touch with their Divine Spark and their co-creatorship with God. When your lower-self merges with your higher-self you become empowered by your whole-self.

This awareness begins a quest not only to live life but live it more fully.  The adventures on this quest may bring you in touch with much that is unknown to you as you start down this path.  That is true of any great quest or adventure.  There is much your Soul knows and wishes to teach you about your true nature that is beyond the current knowledge of humans at this time.

Merging your personality with your Soul opens your life to new possibilities.  It is a magnificent adventure upon which humanity is only now embarking.  You can be the explorer of this merged awareness.

I invite you to join me in this exploration into the full power of what it means to be a human being, a being that is a part animal man but is also a creative living evolving spark of the Divine.  I invite you to Be and Become All You Are Meant to Be.

I invite you to experience the Touch of Your Soul!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Celebrate Every One of Your Accomplishments

Celebrate Every One of Your Accomplishments

Celebrate Your Accomplishments blog post by Genevieve Gerard

Life is a fantastic journey fraught with perils and pitfalls.  There are many dangers along the way.  That is why I think it is important that you make it a habit to consciously celebrate your accomplishments.

This morning, as I began to ponder this a young man I am providing Life Guidance Coaching to gave me a call.  In supporting his growth, I had the opportunity to consider ways that you can celebrate your successes that work.  Some of the ways you can celebrate your success may seem silly or hoky, but they work.

Being human I am often hard on myself.  You may be hard on yourself too.  Being hard on yourself is human nature.  Expecting a lot, or even perfection from yourself is one of life’s potential pitfalls.

You’re Not Perfect

Of course, you can’t be perfect.  No one can!

Years ago, I traveled to Iran.  In the tradition of the great Persian Empire rug making is a tradition.  As a tourist, I wanted to see how that great art and beauty were accomplished.  I went to a place in Isfahan where fantastic silk rugs were created.  The rugs were amazing.  As I admired the workmanship, I spoke with the owner.  He proudly showed me that each rug had woven into it a small flaw.  He said that was done as a reminder that only God is perfect.

In that little shop in Isfahan, a great truth about life was honored.  You don’t have to be perfect.  Only God is perfect.

Celebrate Your Accomplishments

It is because you cannot be perfect that it is especially important for you to celebrate your successes.  You may note that I speak in the plural because your accomplishments can be little victories that may come easy to others, but for you were challenges.

In speaking this morning to the young man I am coaching I suggested he make a little checklist of 3 to 5 things he needs to do every day, and then when he has done them, as he does them, give himself a sticky star.  This simple ritual may seem elementary, but this little celebration of success serves as a reinforcement for you to accomplish what you are striving to do.  This little technique is especially helpful when you are trying to establish positive habits in your life.

By doing a specific activity for 21 days in a row, that activity becomes a habit.  You begin to incorporate that habit into your daily routine.  This technique is a powerful way to build positive action into your life.  The more often you repeat the positive action, the easier it becomes to do.

When you use a technique like this, it is important that you keep your expectations of yourself realistic and simple.  The sheets of stick stars are most often found in sheets of red, green, blue and gold work really well.  They are inexpensive, and you can ascribe different values to the different things you are trying to accomplish.

This simple exercise can also help you observe your life from the perspective of what you have conquered or accomplished.  The victories of overcoming addictions, such as cigarettes, the urge to drink or drug, the urge to overeat, learning to manage your anger, are all behaviors that respond well to positive reinforcement.

Likewise, for many, positive habits and discipline, such as daily meditation and exercise, respond to the celebration of success once you have completed the regimen.  Although it is true that these positive habits are their own reward, a silly way to celebrate your success of building these habits into your life is a way of honoring yourself and your growth and loving and supporting yourself.

Another technique that I have found to be effective is that when you complete and accomplish a task, get up and do a little happy dance.  Not only does that signal joy and celebration at the accomplishment, but it gives you the opportunity to get your circulation going and breath engaged in a way that brings in more Prana (Life Force) and therefore stimulates your creativity.

In group efforts, the celebration ritual of the “high five” builds greater cohesiveness with the work team and gives everyone a sense of completion and satisfaction.  These little rituals may seem unimportant and silly, but they signal your consciousness in a positive way.

Building into your life the habit of celebrating your success gives you a visceral experience of accomplishment.  Suspend your judgment and look at your life objectively.  Do you feel joy when you accomplish a goal?  Is the completion of a task or project an opportunity to acknowledge and honor yourself?  Or do you just trudge forward from one duty to the next one in an endless drudgery of too much work performed amidst too little appreciation?

If it is the latter, I suggest that you build in the habit of celebrating your successes.  Whether it is one of the silly techniques or rituals suggested on this blog, or a celebration that has a meaning only to you.  I recommend you build in a way to confirm and acknowledge to yourself the satisfaction of success.

It will increase your joy.  It will support you in the fulfillment of your life purpose.  It will energize and inspire you.  It will empower you.

Celebrating your success helps you have a “success conscious.”  It enhances your innovation and your creativity.

ATS Affirmations For Abundance CD-MP3 by Genevieve Gerard

 

Check out my Awaken to Success CD or MP3’s, which give you 21 positive affirmations for abundance. Use these to empower yourself to create the life of your dreams.

 

Success comes to those who become success conscious. 
             ― Napoleon Hill

I encourage you to celebrate your successes, large and small.  Let each accomplishment be a victory whether it seems large or small to the world is not what is important.  Many of the most challenging battles you face in life are in your personal habits.  Conquering your addictions, no matter how small are always a cause for celebration.

Overcoming your fears sufficiently to do something you want to do or need to do is always a success.

I ask that you not reserve your celebration of your success to only the massive and dramatic successes in your life.  Whether your challenge is only to do the tasks on your to-do list or your challenge is to gain mastery over your mind chatter, celebrate each win.

Below, I am including an additional technique that can give you an opportunity to have successes you can celebrate and transform and empower your life.  I call it the technique of the detached observer.

The Detached Observer Technique

 

One technique that I have found valuable in my own practice and in my years of coaching and counseling people is that you begin just by self-observation.

I recommend starting with committing just 3 minutes a day to consciously observe your thoughts. When you observe a negative or fear-based thought flash through your mind, edit it, correct it and replace it with a conscious thought of what you want and are striving to manifest in your life.

This self-observation, edit, correct (with intention) and replace technique is most important and empowering when what crosses your mind is a fear. To do this consciously and with intention is best achieved in a meditative state while aligning with your Higher Self and focusing upon your life’s purpose. In this alignment, you have a greater vision.

This technique is best done free of self-judgment or criticism (each of which works against achieving positive thoughts to replace the negative and fear-based chatter of the “Monkey Mind.”)

I refer to this as a meditative state because it is not really meditation, but as you are seeking to consciously align with your Soul and your Soul purpose in life you are in a higher state of consciousness and keener awareness than just thinking. So this exercise of observation from the perspective of the “detached observer” is a bridge between normal uncontrolled and casual thinking and meditation.

This can be a powerful and transforming technique. As I mentioned I recommend starting with this technique 3 minutes every day. That may seem very short but if you really consider and catch most of your negative thoughts to edit, and revise and replace the thought, you will have made a huge step forward in your ability to harness the power of your mind and learn to quiet the chattering mind. This simple (although sometimes not easy) step is important in learning to meditate and to empower your life.

In teaching this technique to my coaching clients, most have observed that a daily practice of this technique begins a major transformation in their lives.

I suggest that you start out using this method for 3 minutes a day for 30 days. Three minutes of your day is not very much. However, three minutes is enough to demonstrate my point. Three minutes is sufficient to describe the energy you are sending out.

 

Celebrate your successes, check off your achievements on your to-do list.  Acknowledge your ever-growing mastery of your emotions, your mind, and furthering your alignment with your Soul (Higher Self) to fulfill those all-important steps in life’s dance.

As you journey through your adventure of life, there are many opportunities for success, large and small.  Each victory, each accomplishment is important.  Life is about learning however, it is also about doing and being.

I encourage you to build celebrating your accomplishments into your life as a way of expanding your success consciousness.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

You Need to Know What Happens When You Let Your Soul Be In Control

You Need to Know What Happens When You
Let Your Soul Be In Control

Read how to let your Soul be more in control article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is a continuation of my ongoing series on Soul Awakening.

Many of the solutions to life’s challenges are simple.  That does not make them easy.

Free Will is an essential part of the human experience.

I believe the personality, the “lower self,” must make the conscious choice to surrender to Divine Will, the “higher self” or Soul.  Without that conscious choice, the choice to choose Love, the choice to put your Soul in control cannot give you the full power of your Soul.

It is with your decision to bring your Soul into a conscious partnership that you are empowered to work with the Angels and activate spirit to elevate the world of matter, that real enlightenment can happen.

By the very word, enlightenment requires bringing Light into the substance of matter.  This is the destiny of humanity.

The merging of your Soul, with your completely human body, emotions, personality, and mind is what I have called the “Greatest Merger and Acquisition” ever.

It was to fulfill this blending of spirit and matter, light and dark; personal will surrendered to Divine Will that the Creator designed the human adventure. Something magical and mystical happens when Love (the nature of your Soul) is infused into matter (the substance of the world.)

It was to bring Divine Love into manifestation into the world of matter that the struggle of life exists.

Matter, by its very nature, is devoid of Love.  Only through humanity learning to Love and surrendering to Divine Love can in this dual consciousness of Soul and Personality can the denseness of matter be infused by Love, can the denseness of matter be inspired by Soul Light.

This is the fuel of miracles and the purpose of life.  Not just to learn how to Love, but to let Love so thoroughly into your life that the very atomic matter of your being, your heart, merges with your mind into your Soul, whose nature is Love. Ponder on this.

Learning To Love

Your human adventure offers you the opportunity to learn and grow until Love is clearly the answer.  Surrendering to Love is your path to joy.  When surrendering to Love becomes your personal Free Will you automatically align with Divine Will.

Today, I invite you to choose Divine Love.  By making that choice, you have activated your free will on a path that aligns you with the teachings and wisdom of your Soul.  When you choose Divine Love, you are allowing your personality access to transforming power.

When you choose Divine Love, you become an agent of Divine Will here on planet earth.

I understand, although simple, it is far from easy to surrender to Divine Love and Divine Will.  But don’t worry, the resistance you have to this kind of surrender is what makes you human.

Each and every time you are able to remain open to Divine Love and aligned with and surrendered to Divine Will you are taking a giant step forward in human evolution.

The fact that you are reading this article today speaks volumes to your openness to making a difference in your life.

The longing you have to be able to remain in a state of Love and aligned with Divine Will speaks to the presence of your Soul.  The nature of your Soul is Love.  It is with Love you can open to the wonder and wisdom of your Soul.

This walk in life with a human body, buffeted with needs and desires is a new kind of human being, a new kind of consciousness that is just emerging in the human experience.  To let your Soul be in control, while still walking in the world of sorrows is a whole new kind of experience in human life.

When you walk through life as the powerful and amazing being that you indeed are, you are thinning the veil between heaven and earth.  You are demonstrating the consciousness of Love.

 Meditation is a portal to the awareness of your Soul.

Bringing Your Soul Into Control

The integration of your Soul with your personality is the result of lifetimes of lessons of love and karma.  The release of personal will to Divine Will is a lesson learned long ago by the Angels.

Coming from a Soul perspective shifts awareness of the illusions, glamor’s and desires of the world of matter to bring an understanding of what is true and real.

Each and every time you put your Soul in control you are fulfilling your destiny as the spark of Divine Light that you were created to be.

When you put your Soul in control, you automatically align with Love.  You activate your co-creator potential that came from the Creator with the breath of life.

Your whole perspective changes when you are integrating your Soul with your personality.  Harmlessness becomes effortless.

Kindness and compassion flow from your heart as you are moved by the sorrow and suffering of others.  You are aware of a unity of Spirit that makes clear your Oneness with all of Life.

Humanities next significant step forward is to master this dual perspective, this dual consciousness, and then bring it into the world.

To merge with your Soul, to restrain any selfishness you may be tempted by, is a significant step forward in the consciousness of humanity.  It is the evolution of a new kind of human being.  One who is in relationship and communion with the Divine.

Imagine, for a moment if you will, just how this world would be different if your Soul were in control.  Imagine if government and society were to follow the Law of Divine Love.  Imagine if the guidelines for the laws were crafted and passed with the principle of the Highest Good For All.

That would undoubtedly usher in a “Heaven on Earth.”  That would fulfill the prophecies of old of Peace on Earth, a time when the Lion could lie down with the Lamb.  These predictions and dreams have fueled all world religions because they are the plan in the mind of the Creator that humanity was created to fulfill.

It takes only a moment of both self-awareness and life awareness to see how far humanity is from manifesting that vision that has been foretold.  Yet, it is by learning to Love, by bringing your Soul into control and by merging your personal will into Divine Will that the best chance for humanity manifests.

To help you on this path I have created an affirmation that you can say as often as you like.

 

Love & Light Are My Lanterns Affirmation

 

Today, I call upon my Guardian Angels, my Spiritual Inner Plane Guides, to provide help and assistance in my life that I may fulfill my life destiny and purpose to manifest God’s Will for my highest good and the highest good of all.

I surrender to and invoke the wisdom of my Soul as I place my Soul in control.

I do this to learn the lessons of Divine Love and to teach others the transforming empowerment of love and light.

As I sacrifice my little will and align my life and purpose with Divine Will, I assert and affirm that: “Purpose Itself Am I.”

To manifest this awareness in my physical reality, it is necessary to allow: “Two Minds to Unite.”

And to let “The Highest Light Control.”

To do this, I must “See the Greatest Light.”

This blending of my Soul with my lower self occurs as a simultaneous act of invocation and evocation.  In so doing I open my life to the fulfillment and furtherance of a plan that is held in the mind of God.

I acknowledge that the Saints, the Hierarchy and those who have served humanity to bring about the manifestation of this Divine Plan will guide and direct me as I put aside my personal lower will.

As I remain aligned and open to Divine Will, I realize that my joy, my bliss, and my fulfillment are found in that merger.

Each and every time that I am able to restrain my personal needs and desires, I am learning to Love, and I am strengthened and supported by resources more amazing and vast than I can imagine.

Love & Light are my lanterns.  Through Divine Love, I can align in full faith and confidence knowing that Divine Will has the Divine Wisdom of a purpose and plan that is beyond what I can see from the vision of my individuated lower self.  As I merge with that Divine Will and Wisdom, I relax and release all of the needs that have burdened my life.

Through my open connection to my Soul, the heavenly hosts are available to provide the healing that those I encounter in my life so desperately need.

Through my merger with Divine Will for the Highest Good of All, I am assured that I will do no harm through the unintended consequences of my personal ego or desire nature.

I walk this path of dual consciousness and awareness with vigilance, and thus I stand.  I am a point of light within a greater light, and thus I stand.  I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of cosmic love, and thus I stand.  And standing thus enlightens the way for others.

                – Genevieve Gerard

 

Your Soul grows ever more in control until the Soul, in power can bring to Light the Love that underlies the happening of the times.  That is the destiny and fulfillment of humanity.  That is the great adventure you can use your life to manifest for the world.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What Your Soul Can Do For You Today

What Your Soul Can Do For You Today

Awaken to your Soul by reading What Your Soul Can Do For You Today by Genevieve Gerard

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

Your Soul, also often referred to as your Higher Self, is an integral part of who you are and what you are.

You probably believe you have a Soul, yet, your Soul is probably something which you give very little or no thought or attention.

Perhaps, as a child, you said a nighttime prayer as you memorized the words of a famous children’s prayer “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep.”  

But now, as an adult, the concept of having a Soul may not cross your mind.

If you are a participant of A.A. (Alcoholics Anonymous) or N.A. (Narcotics Anonymous), you may have wondered about step 2 of turning your life over to a Higher Power.

You may even have relegated the concept of your Soul to only matter as the eternal part of you that only matters when you die.  Then you may imagine your Soul may go to heaven, or return to God.

Welcome To The Beauty Of Your Soul

Today, I would like to make you aware of your Soul as a dynamic, active and vital part of your life.  A part of your life that can make you more healthy, joyful, and empowered.

I would like to introduce you to your Soul, not as something you tuck away to call upon as your life is fading away.  I would like to introduce you to your Soul as a source of wisdom, a portal to divine energy that can impact and influence every day of your life starting today.

I would like to bring you into awareness of a tool that can help you every day in your life.  I would like to introduce you to your Higher Self and encourage you to begin a lifelong adventure of integration and awareness that will change your life for the better, that will ultimately awaken your life.

Your Soul is more than simply the part of you that is eternal and therefore grants you access to eternal life when your material body fails and fades.

Your Soul is designed to be an active part of the wholeness of your being.  It exists to be a resource engaged in your life adventure, a companion on the quest for love, for success and happiness.

Empowerment

The reason that A.A. and N.A. teach that it is important to turn your life over to a Higher Power is that by so doing you are empowered.  You are empowered by the part of you that has always been there, and will always be there to help and support you, your own Soul. You just need to awaken it.

Your Soul is not separate from God; however, you define God to be, because your Soul is the spark of Divine Light that was granted to you as you became an individuated life.

It is the part of your anatomy that maintains a connection that is eternal.  No matter what you do.  No matter how many mistakes you make.  No matter if you stumble or fall, that connection cannot be severed.

Your Soul, like God, always works for good.  It has the power to heal you once you have learned whatever life lessons dis-ease may have entered your life to teach you.  From the perspective of eternity and the Divine, your life experience is designed to teach and empower you to reach higher states of consciousness.

Major Life Lessons

The Ageless Wisdom speaks of these life lessons regarding your Soul giving you the power and strength to overcome your lower urges driven by your material nature, to greater Soul control as four major life lessons.

In each of these four major life challenges, it is your Soul that stands by to help and support you in transcending the lure or temptation of your lower (animal) self.

These four major life lessons can be broken down into:

  1. Overcome the Desires of the Flesh – the physical part of your nature. Among these are the needs and urges that are sometimes called the seven deadly sins.  They include Lust, Gluttony, Avarice or Greed, Sloth or Laziness, Wrath, Envy or Pride.  I would like to re-frame these seven human challenges as the issues you are faced with in life.

Although these are sometimes called sins, I consider that they are simply the result of selfish and self-centered identification.  They are tendencies and mistakes that you make when you see yourself as separate from others and separate from God.

  1. Managing Emotions – Inherent in life lessons are also learning to manage emotions by learning to transmute, transform and transcend fear, anger, jealousy, and Ego.

     

  2. Mastering the Thoughts of Your Mind – Overcoming worries, fears, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs.

     

  3. Surrendering to Your Spiritual Nature – Using your Soul to integrate and master your physical, emotional and mental full lower natures (ego.)

Because these are the urges and desires of your physical and emotional nature, your Soul is ready, willing and able to help you gain mastery over these aspects of life so you can learn what it is to express Love.

The Nature of Your Soul is Love

Learning to Love is what your life adventure is about.  If you break down the seven deadly sins, they can all be summarized as not expressing the highest form of Love.

As learning how to Love is the business of life, so teaching you how to Love and opening you to Love is the business of the Soul in your life.
                  – Genevieve Gerard

Your Soul is available to help you transmute, transform and transcend any and all aspects of your lower-self that keep you separated from the highest forms of love.  Among these lower-aspects are addictions to alcohol, food, sex, cigarettes or drugs.  The power of your Soul to empower you to conquer these urges is why all of the Anonymous programs encourage step 2 in the A.A. model.

Connecting with your Soul and surrendering your addiction to the healing power of your Soul gives you the strength and ability to conquer physical desires and cravings.

Likewise, being guided by your Soul frees you from the emotional attachments of desire that led the Buddha to acknowledge that life was suffering and that attachment was the cause of the suffering.  Attachment is not love, although it can easily get confused with Love.

Love is life’s greatest gift.  Love is life’s greatest blessing.  Love is eternal.  It is perhaps the one thing we can create as material beings that open us to our eternal and Divine nature.

Your Soul can guide you to learning to Love, not the “sticky and needy” love of attachment, but rather the freeing and inspiring Love of the Spirit.  It is that which is eternal, empowering and life transforming.

Your Soul is a resource to empower you to be all that you can be.  Through Soul Awakening, you are open to who you truly are as a “child of God” who is also the “Son of Man (Human).”  It is your Soul that keeps you connected with God, and with the whole heavenly realm of angelic beings.  It is your Soul that is your internal and external source of truth and wisdom.

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.
                  – Rumi

By activating and engaging in a conscious awakening of your Soul, you activate peace, love, and joy in your life.  By surrendering to the wisdom of your Soul in times of trouble and confusion, temptation or terror, you are opening to living life abundantly.

I leave you today with a little Mantram of Unification I have adapted that you may find helpful to affirm out loud daily:

I let my Soul control my outer form in my life and all events so it may bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of time.

 

Let wisdom come with insight.  Let the future stand revealed.  Let inner wisdom demonstrate and any outer illusions be gone.  Let Love prevail in my life.

 

May all know love.

– Alice A. Bailey, Djwal Khul

Revolutionary Simple Acts of Kindness

Revolutionary Simple Acts of Kindness

Read Revolutionary Simple Acts of Kindness by Genevieve Gerard

What if every day you practiced a simple act of kindness?

How would it change your life?  How might it change you?

Kindness is contagious.  Kindness stirs compassion in your heart and stimulates loving sensations.  Kindness can have far-reaching implications.

Today, I am suggesting an experiment to demonstrate the power of Light over darkness, Love over hate and Kindness over cruelty.

Today, I am suggesting that you make the conscious choice to make this world a better place by the deliberate practice of service.

Today, I am inviting you to join a worldwide experiment with kindness. 

People everywhere are struggling with fear in the world as threats of nuclear annihilation fill the news airways.  It is common to feel powerless and frustrated as these issues are outside of your sphere of influence.

You cannot change the behavior of world leaders.  I believe you can, however, change your behavior and your life in a way that will make a difference.

I am suggesting that you experiment with a simple act of kindness.

I am suggesting that you choose to bring kindness into the world and then, I am inviting you to observe how powerful you are as you bring about changes in the world around you.

I invite you to share your observations about the difference kindness makes.

I encourage you to become an agent of transformation in the world through your simple acts of kindness. I urge you to watch and observe the effect of your kindness has on the world around you.  I charge you to find the effect your kindness has in your own life.

I am encouraging you to spread your kindness in the world by consciously doing or saying something that is kind to someone else who you know only casually.

It may be a kind and encouraging comment on Social Media.  It has to be sincere, but it can be concise.  It can be a casual compliment to a stranger on the street.  It need not take more than a few seconds of time.

When you act with kindness, each time you do something kind, stop for a second and take a deep breath.  You might want to visualize that the energy that stimulated your act of kindness is going out from your heart to the world as a whole.  You could imagine the kindness starting a wave of love and compassion that will stimulate others to be kind.

When you offer your act of kindness, imagine your Light traveling out to touch the life of another to in some unknown way make their life better.    Your moment of thought and compassion sets a dynamic force in motion, in you, and toward the other person.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
                  – Aesop

Then, pay attention to how you feel.  Notice how your random acts of kindness are affecting your mood and your sense of well-being.  Observe its impact on any stress in your life.

This simple act of kindness aligns you with your Higher Self (your Soul).  It is an act of service that energetically connects you with the men and women of goodwill all around the world.

It can become a meditative act because by aligning with your higher self, and the forces of goodness, love, and compassion you are choosing to be a force for good on the planet.  You are building and creating Right Relations.

My hypothesis that I am suggesting with this experiment is to prove that by your kindness you are increasing your sense of personal happiness.  You are healing the pain of separateness and alienation that is so much a part of our modern world and society.

Of course, treating your loved ones, friends and family with kindness is always recommended, however; the experiment I am suggesting is to practice kindness to those with whom you have no or only a loose association.

I am suggesting that you try this experiment between now and the end of the month.  If you choose to participate in this little experiment, I would like to invite you to join my Consciousness Community and share your experiences with this experiment in the comments below.

By engaging in simple acts of kindness, you are taking power to transform your world into your own hands.  You are being and becoming an active force for good.  You are an agent of Light.

With each kind comment, you make and each kind gesture you perform, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, you are making a revolutionary difference in your own life, in your community, in your world, to serve Love.

When you are open to Love, and when you demonstrate it in acts of kindness, compassion fills your heart.

When you look at others through the eyes of compassion, their faults and their failures become less annoying and most significantly less disruptive to your sense of peace and personal happiness.

When you consider what act of kindness you can share with someone, you are activating in your heart and mind the transforming power of love and compassion.  Kindness is a way that in an authentic and tangible sense you are receiving by giving.
            – Genevieve Gerard

One of the most beneficial and empowering parts of practicing kindness is that by doing so, you strengthen and refine your ability to Love unconditionally.  You are empowering your ability to understand one another and forgive the foibles and failures of humanity.

And, also by being kind to others, you activate kindness and compassion for yourself.  Being kind and compassion to yourself, being patient and forgiving of your faults can have a life-transforming advantage.

It is in this which the simple acts of kindness can serve to not only make the world a better place but also make your life more successful and happy.

Please share your experiences with this little experiment in consciousness.  Please share this post with anyone you feel would find the empowerment and life transformation helpful.

Together we have the power to make life a little easier for others, and by doing so, for ourselves.   There is no cost to kindness.  There is no harm in compassion.  It is free and freely given.

So, I ask you to try a simple act of kindness.  Like the old bumper sticker used to say “Practice random acts of kindness.”   You never know when your kindness can provide hope, comfort, and strength to someone who has lost their way.

Let your kindness be a living example of Love in action.  Let your kindness be a demonstration of your gratitude and faithfulness.  Spread your Light with Love and kindness wherever you go as an act of service and support of others.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Our Prayer and Meditation as Hurricane Irma Approaches

Our Prayer and Meditation as Hurricane Irma Approaches

Hurricane Irma Approaches

As I was meditating, aware that Hurricane Irma is quickly moving toward high population centers in the United States, I began to consider how perfectly her eye is formed and, if you looked at her with no fear, how beautiful she is.

Out of that emerged a prayer and meditation that I invite you to join.

As Hurricane Irma moves, I ask that she swerves out into the vast waters of the Atlantic Ocean. There, she will be able to maintain her perfection and beauty as she dances across the waters, harming and endangering neither life or property, destroying nothing.

Eye of Hurricane Irma

I invite you to join me in this meditative visualization and prayer for Harmlessness and Right Action for Irma.

Blessings!

Namaste,

Our Prayer for the Victims of Hurricane Harvey

Our Prayer for the
Victims of Hurricane Harvey

Read Our Prayer For Hurricane Victims

 

Lord of Life, Lord of Love, We Pray

 

We Call Upon Your Grace and Comfort, Your Help and Healing Power for the people of Texas and Louisiana as they begin the journey of recovery from the great storm Harvey.

 

Floods have ravaged the land destroying many lives, communities and the dreams of many people.  Our hearts cry out with compassion.

 

Our prayers from across the world petition You to commission Angels of comfort and support for the people whose lives and livelihood have been ravaged by the winds and rains of Hurricane Harvey.

 

There has been epic devastation and loss.  Recovery and restoration is a long and expensive road that will require everyone coming together to help and support our fellow citizens.

 

To provide what is needed will require compassion in the hearts of legislators and creativity in the minds of engineers.

 

Across the world and across our country nature has been creating increasing devastation and disasters.  More and more fires and floods are raging out of control. 

 

We believe that in all things You work for good, so we petition You to ignite the hearts and minds of those who work for good in the world to find solutions to this trend.  And we petition You to open the hearts and minds of those in leadership positions to engage and enlist creative solutions to this trend.

 

We know that the evil of selfishness and greed have hardened hearts and clouded the minds of many in leadership positions.  We ask that wisdom and insight direct them to a greater understanding of what is needed to have greater harmony between nature and humanity.  We ask that greater enlightenment and awareness infuse their considerations that they can see the unity and oneness of human kind and realize that by helping one they are helping all.

 

We pray for those who direct the laws of civilization to open their minds and hearts and to direct the amazing creativity of humanity to find new solutions to these problems.

 

We pray for those who control the purse strings of society to direct infrastructure solutions to the areas of land that Hurricane Harvey has so poignantly brought to our attention as needing solutions.

 

Let this disaster serve as the impetus to stimulate the creation of those solutions, not only for the Southwest but also for the world.

 

Let this disaster unify and inspire people to open hearts, open pocketbooks, and open minds to create a better world and greater safety for all people.

 

This we ask in the name of the Christ and in keeping and harmony with Your Will and Your Divine Plan of evolution for humanity on this planet at this time.

 

Amen.

 

Blessings!

Genevieve Gerard

Pray For My Country

Pray For My Country

Pray For My Country Serenity Sunday prayer by Genevieve Gerard

Across the planet in every country we, the people and citizens are noticing that the winds of change are blowing.

More than any time in my life or recollection it seems to be a time that the people are being called upon to make a stand, a stand that will determine and influence the direction and life of your county, and by extension, the world.

Recently in my meditation I created a prayer for the people to invite and invoke the help and support of the Creator, however, you envision the Divine force in life.

By whatever name you call upon the Divine force, it is working through humanity on a plan that was created concurrently with the creation of the first man and the first woman on the planet.

Creation is an ongoing process that fuels the evolution of consciousness in ways beyond our comprehension and understanding.

As you say this prayer feel free to change it in a way that reflects the wisdom and yearning of your Soul.

Your prayer, your intention, your invitation, and invocation attract to your place in the world the help you see needed in the dynamic co-creation of humanity and the Creator.
         – Genevieve Gerard

Your prayer, your intention, your invitation, and invocation attract to your place in the world the help you see needed in the dynamic co-creation of humanity and the Creator.

As you say this prayer you are joining with the prayers of citizens around the world to make this world a better place.  Join your heart, mind, and Soul with the men and woman of Goodwill all across the planet as all seek to make this world a better place.

 

Prayer For My Country

 

Divine Creator,

Our troubled world needs help. With faith and hope, we turn to You to guide the happenings of these times.

We pray for Peace, that every man, woman, and child can be safe.

Guide the leaders of our country to turn away from the conflicts that separate us from others.  Inspire them to find the ways to unity and cooperation with other lands and governments.

We pray that those who make the laws that govern us are moved by compassion and consider their decisions in keeping with their understanding of what fosters Right Relationships.

We ask that how Love is best served be woven into the laws of our land and Harmlessness is considered in all regulations to serve all with equality and justice.

The morality of our country is embedded in every law, help our legislators to consider the moral implications of the decisions they make.

Please protect our leaders from the evil of greed and selfishness that they may find the moral strength and courage to do the right thing for the highest good of all.

Our leaders and our legislators are tempted by evil every day.  We pray for them to find the strength in their hearts and minds to stand firm against those temptations to do what they know to be the right thing for the people they represent and govern.

Help the people to find the strength and courage to stand up for what they believe and know to be Right Action.

We seem to be at a time in the human story when it is more important than ever to make a stand for what we believe.  It may not be easy to stand in Your truth and in Your power so we ask that You empower us with Your guidance and strength.

Protect the poor and disenfranchised from the tyranny of oppression that every life may be granted the freedom and opportunity to fulfill its Divine purpose.

We know deep down that every life, every Soul, has a purpose.  Let education and employment fuel the engines of our success; so that creativity and Divine Inspiration can benefit all of humanity.

Inspire our leaders with wisdom so that solutions to the problems of the day can be found and grant them the courage to stand up for those who cannot stand for themselves.

It is not always easy to do the right thing, to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.  Courage and strength are needed by those who strive to do the right thing.  I ask that these men and woman of good will be provided the Divine blessings to strengthen and fortify their efforts of service.

In all that we pray we surrender to the wisdom of Divine Will that this world may manifest Your Purpose and Your Plan for all of humanity. Let me stand as a vessel of your Divine Love.

For these blessings we give thanks.

And it is So.

Amen

 

Namaste!
