To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Love has the power to heal and transform the most wounded life.

It is in loving that we are most connected to the Divine.

It is in loving that illusion can fall from your eyes and truth can be revealed.

There are of course many different ways that love is felt and expressed. However, love is more than a feeling. This is part of what the adventure through life is undertaken to reveal.

Learning To Love

Learning to love and fully comprehending what it is to love is one of the most important and most profound lessons of life.

It is within this experience of love that the deepest healing takes place. It is within the lessons of love that the full richness of life is expressed and experienced.

Love comes in many different expressions and manifestations, and each and every one of them can be a challenge.

You might think that it is easiest to love yourself, yet for many people that is the most challenging of all. You might wonder why it is so hard to love yourself, but who knows more than you how many times and how many ways you have failed to love another. Who knows better than you, all of the selfish and self-serving things you do and more significantly the selfish and self-serving thoughts and judgments that run through your mind.

Luckily, it is in learning to love yourself that you can truly open your heart, your mind, and your Soul to the transformative power of the true essence of Love.

Each time you love in the many different ways that you can manifest love; you are opening and expanding the portal to the Divine. We are told that God is Love and there is no greater truth. The more we can demonstrate love, the more we are joining with God in the Oneness and unity of humanity.

One of the amazing miracles of Love is that Love is merged and blended with both forgiveness and grace. Love also activates compassion and with compassion most often comes understanding. And because Love unites us with the Divine, the more you love, the easier you find it to forgive. True Love cascades with grace and transforms your life.

Learning to Love is one of the most important experiences in this life that is filled to overflowing with lessons.

Because you are learning, any attempt you make to love benefits you. You don’t have to be perfect. However much you are able to give love is always a blessing. Romantic love is often the stimulus that opens you to the experience of loving, much like priming a pump. While romantic love is the doorway many use to enter into love, to truly love is so much more since it involves your whole being, body and mind, heart and Soul. Loving truly is more. It involves looking beyond your needs. It involves expanding your awareness of needs beyond your own, to the greatest good, perhaps of others.

One of the amazing parts of love is that it connects you to the spark of the Divine that resides in your Soul. When you love you are connected with what is eternal in your life. When you love you grow in understanding others. You become aware of a higher-level unity and brotherhood/sisterhood that bonds you with others in a way that enhances all of your life experiences.

We are all told in the bible to, “Make love your aim” 1: Corinthians 13. We are told that of all the gifts of a spiritual life, “the greatest of these is love.”

You don’t need to criticize yourself or judge yourself or others for the inability or failures you may experience along the path of life in learning to love. Whatever progress you make or understanding you achieve about what it means to love is a step toward more enlightened awareness. In each step you take, or revelation you are granted, there is an automatic, spontaneous reinforcement because you experience more joy and more peace in your life.

Learning to love is its own reward. That is a miracle. When I consider the amazing grace and wisdom of that design, by the Divine, I cannot help but be filled with awe. I cannot help but feel loved by God and in that great and amazing grace realize that it is Love that I am born to share and disperse.

As love is given to me freely,
I am guided to give love freely.
– Genevieve Gerard

Furthermore, the wonderful and amazing blessing of giving Love is that by giving I also receive. This is a mystery of loving and one of the great blessings of loving. Each time that I love I am joined with God, whose nature and very essence is love. I cannot help but rejoice.

I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts,
there can be no more hurt, only more love.
– Mother Teresa

Love is the life lesson that seems riddled with paradox because it is so very powerful and so very transformative. I know very well in my life how many times I have failed to truly love, even when I have professed love and strived to love. Our human nature, our personal desires, and needs are such that loving does not always come easy. Romance, sexual desire, and selfishness all confuse this.

Be gentle with yourself. Love is the nature of God. You are not God. You are a human being. Each time you love, you brush up to the majesty and glory of God and are blessed and transformed in your very human life.

The more you open your heart and your mind to Love, the more you touch the divine breath of love that comes from your Soul, and the more your life reflects joy.

Affirmations and Reflections on Love
– A meditation focused on Love

I suggest you have a journal with you so you can record and remember any thoughts or impressions you receive in this meditation.

As you begin, calm your mind, open your heart, invite the Light.

This short meditation will combine both affirmations and reflections. The affirmation allows you to activate your will, your intention and your desire.

The reflection then reveals what you are learning about love.

Before you begin, take a minute to come into the present and presence of you higher awareness, your Soul, where you know what love is. Put the past behind you. Breathe deeply as you relax into this moment in time. Let your awareness be free to experience the guidance of what it means to love truly and freely.

Then calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

Then Say to yourself:

I am created by Love to learn how to Love.
[Pause, reflect, and record your impressions.]

With my mind calm and my heart opened, Divine Love fills me.
[Pause, reflect, and record your impressions.]

Divine Love heals me and brings me closer to my Soul.
[Pause, reflect, and record your impressions.]

I am grateful and blessed by the touch of my Soul
and the touch of God’s love that I have received today.
[Pause, reflect, and record your impressions.]

The Love that flows to me flows through me to the world.
[Pause, reflect, and record your impressions.]

Ponder on the words of this meditation.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Invoking Healing Miracles

Genevieve Gerard

Invoking Healing Miracles Today

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

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

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

You Can Be a Co-Creator in Your Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Universal Laws & Principals

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

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

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

Healing Miracles

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

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

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

Prayer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Use of Intention and Invocation

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

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

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

Oneness with a Higher Power

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Meditation on Merging With Your Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve

Understanding Our Dual Nature

Genevieve Gerard

Understanding Our Dual Nature

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

The experience of being human is an amazing blend of seemingly contradictory factors.

Let us take a moment to consider the diverse parts of the human being that must be integrated every day of our lives. Understanding this better may help you understand the different aspects of your human nature that are often challenging.

A dear spiritual friend of mine calls this duality, but I feel that term may not capture the full depth and breadth of the dynamics of what it means to be a human being in incarnation, especially at this exciting time in human evolution.

Since the dawn of creation, when human beings first drew in the breath of life, we as human beings have been a unique creation. We are told in the scriptures, that man was created in the image of God, the relationship between the part of ourselves that is the animal man and the part of ourselves that is Divine created in the image of the creator, has been a source of many questions. It is that concept on which I wish to expand.

Let us take a minute to consider the meaning of the dual nature of man. This is a subject that I have long pondered and studied. Within the understanding of that dual nature are many factors that are important to consider.

Divine Observations

The most ancient religions across the planet, even when they differ dramatically in dogma seem to have observed certain essential truths. One of these truths is that a human being has within them something that is both Divine and eternal.

This truth is acknowledged by the ancient greeting “Namaste.” The meaning of the ancient Sanskrit phrase Namaste is that you honor and recognize this Divinity in another. This recognition happens in a deep pre-conscious part of your being. It is both a deep truth and a profound mystery about the human condition.

There are some things that help to consider this dual nature of your being. Some of these are common sense observations of reality. Others are more abstract. Yet, even the most abstract of these seem to be a part of your collective understanding, and archetypal awareness of what it means to be a human being, a unique and amazing blending of what is material and what is spiritual.

As you delve into this mystery, there are many beliefs that may have been taught to you throughout all of our life that come into play. When we talk about these issues, these beliefs can be a great support in your understanding or a great hindrance because what I am saying is being judged to match up with the dogma of those beliefs.

What Resonates For You As The Truth

As I write to you today I try, to my best ability, to discuss and explain these issues in a way that have a practical implication upon your life, the decisions you make and how to best take advantage of this miracle of life with which you have been blessed. As you read this, I am going to ask you to calm your mind and open your heart. I am going to ask you to consider these words from a place deep within you that resonates and is recognized by you when you hear the truth.

I am going to ask you today to read my words and only judge them by what resonates for you as the truth. If anything that I write, today or ever does not live up to that standard, I request that you dismiss it. I am a human being on the same path to being more enlightened in my awareness as you and every other human being who walks the earth.

Nothing I have ever said or will ever say should be given greater authority than the truth.
– Genevieve Gerard

Inner Sense of Truth and Knowing

Amazingly, each of us has within us a deep sense of truth when we are open to receive it. The common phrase, “that has the ring of truth to it” describes this experience of considering the truth in what you are hearing or reading. There is a phrase I have often considered and pondered on along my own path, “no religion is higher than the truth.” Therefore, it is to this inner sense of truth and knowing that I direct you as we explore this fully human and Divine aspect of your human nature.

As we consider these truths, I also ask you to consider how these truths relate to the practical daily decisions you make in your life. In my own meditations lately, when I connect to my Soul, my own spark of Divine Light to grow and understand my life and my work, I have been pondering upon a phrase, “practical spirituality.” Indeed, if being spiritual has a purpose in life it must be to help us live life more abundantly and more joyfully.

The more that I have come to know and understand the spiritual part of my being, the more solutions I have found to the multifaceted and myriad of life’s challenges. Meditation has been the portal through which I make contact with the Divine spark in me, my Soul, and it is through the vast and unconditional love that is available to me when I touch my Soul, that I am granted both understanding and wisdom to solve life’s problems.

I have, to the very best of my ability, tried to capture these solutions to share with you in my guided meditations and my writings. From my own very human challenges in life and from my many years helping others resolve life challenges I have created many meditations. My husband jokes that my epitaph will be “I have a meditation for that.” It is my experience that my relationship with my Soul is both immensely practical and life-enhancing.

It is from the perspective of my own awareness of my dual nature as a Soul or Spiritual being that I must integrate the needs of my body, my emotions, my thought with the directing of my Soul. I shall strive to describe the practical applications of that dual perspective to you now.

Understanding Your Dual Nature

You Have a Physical Body

In order to have this discussion, it is important that we consider what you know to be the seeming diverse parts of your human nature. First, you know you have a physical body. That part of your human nature and your human experience is the source for many delights. The five senses of the physical body are a source for a great deal of enjoyment. It is a precious gift from the Creator. It is a bountiful blessing.

If you apply that recommended filter of truth to the preceding statement about your body, I am sure it will pass the test. There are those in the name of spiritual teaching who have taught you to deny the blessings of the body, with thoughts of shame and guilt. Nevertheless, I ask you to consider with gratitude and celebration the miracle that your body is. Open yourself to enjoy and appreciate that amazing part of the wholeness of yourself.

As it is true that the physical part of your human experience is wonderful and glorious; it is also true that you are more than a physical body. Life, your life, is multilayered and multifaceted. Yet, from your awareness of your physical nature, you know that the desires and the pleasures of the flesh can easily get out of balance and out of control.

Amazingly, it is your Higher Self, your Soul, which can help you keep your physical desires in balance. The Soul, or as addiction treatment refers to it, a Higher Power, is often the key to overcoming excess and addiction to the desires and pleasures of the flesh. This is for many a first step in calling upon their dual nature in a practical and life-changing manner. It is by calling on the Higher Self, your own personal Higher Power, that you can gain mastery and start a process of integration.

In the Ageless Wisdom, this process is referred to as an important step in human evolution, that of bringing the Soul into dominance over the physical desires and urges.

You have a body, but you are more than your body. This is powerfully demonstrated when you use the influence and strength of your Soul to transcend out of balance physical desires to move forward in your life. This is an example of calling upon the advantages of being a dual being, material and spiritual.

You Have Emotions

Likewise, you have emotions. This is one of the true challenges of our human experience. Just as dealing with the desires of the flesh can create untold challenges in the human adventure, so too can the experience of emotions present an ongoing challenge. The wildly erratic nature of emotions, from anger to joy, from hate to love, make having emotions, and especially not letting your emotions be in control in your life, a major focus of the practical application of spirituality.

There is no doubt that coping with and managing the desires of the flesh is an important part of life. We have all seen the disastrous results of lives where desire and pleasure were allowed to be out of balance in life decisions. Likewise, the rampant expressions of the volatility of emotions do not lead to a happy or fulfilling life. This is the conclusion of a thinking man.

You Have A Thinking Mind

Truly, the mind is an equally powerful part of the wholeness of your being. Through the power of your mind, you are able to understand that you, in your human experience are more than a body. And, by observing life you know that you are more than the sum total of your rollercoaster emotions.

Your mind and most importantly the content of your thoughts is essential to understanding what I call your spiritual anatomy. How these diverse parts of the human nature of physical, emotional and mental combine and work together is truly amazing. The integration and blending of these concurrently diverse forces of the self is the function of the personality.

You Are A Soul

Although the personality does a great job of striving to balance the parts of the self, the real dynamic power of one’s dual nature resides in the Soul. The Soul, that spark of Divine Light that is so rarely even considered in many people’s daily life, is where the real magic of the human experience resides. However, as we consider the magnificent multifaceted parts of “being” a human being it is important to understand the different nature of the Soul from your personality.

The Ageless Wisdom teaches that the Soul, your Soul, is available to help you live the full breadth and the full joy of your life. This is a power you can engage and activate in ways that help you conquer the challenges of the desires of the flesh.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
– Swami Vivekananda

The Soul offers the support to transcend fears and one’s more unpleasant and painful emotions. Your Soul provides the ignition to the mind to serve in a co-creator relationship with the Divine. With the empowering of your thoughts through the spiritual principles of the Law of Attraction and the energetic dynamics that “energy follows thought,” you can create your life. Ponder on this.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Although your personality does an ok job of integrating your body and your emotions with your mind, your personality is not your Soul. Your Soul, which is a spark of Divine Light, is a part of the Creative force and eternal and evolving essence of life itself.

Your Soul, rather than your personality, can do a much more enlightened job of integrating the human nature of your body, mind, and emotions.

To touch your Soul, to open your heart and your mind to that resplendent radiance and glory is life-transforming and can take place every day. Making this distinction is important in understanding your dual nature as a human being.

As you develop, learn, and grow as a spiritual being on your quest for more enlightened awareness, it is the touch and transforming power of your Soul that will make the greatest difference.
– Genevieve Gerard

Soul-Infused Personality

Along the path of spiritual evolution, the integration of the body, the emotions and the mind with your Soul are significant achievements. The integration of each of these parts of the self with the Soul is the forerunner to integrating your personality with your Soul.

To incorporate the consciousness of your Soul with your personality, you must focus your awareness beyond your individual self, into your oneness with all of life. Throughout the day, allow your Soul to overshadow your personality and influence every action you take. This will make a powerful and profound difference in how you experience even the most mundane things in the world.

It is in the integration of your very human nature with your spiritual nature that the real majesty of being a physical being and a Soul comes into its full glory.

It is in this step in the evolution of a human being and a Soul that the full miracle of merging the physical with the spiritual can be demonstrated.

Check out any of my guided activity-based awareness meditations to have an experience of this.

I invite and encourage you to experience the many ways that your human nature can benefit from the greater perspective of your Soul’s wisdom and vast unconditional love.

This merging and integration with your Soul (and the ultimate understanding of your dual nature) is the most rewarding and exciting adventure you can undertake. I welcome your comments on understanding your dual nature below.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Introduction to How Miracles Are Created

Introduction to How Miracles Are Created

My meditation and thoughts have been recently focused on the subject of miracles.

Miracles are something that seem important to understand.

As I ponder and consider what makes a miracle happen and what composes the building blocks of a miracle, I realize that some special energetic forces must come together to cause a miracle to happen.

I will strive in this article to explore the factors and components that combine to create miracles. I will try in what I write today to provide you with ways to empower your life to make you more open to miracles.

At its core, a miracle is an amazing thing because to make a miracle happen the physical and spiritual worlds must come together. In this realization, there is an important hint to ponder on about how miracles happen.

As I contemplate on miracles and pray for guidance on how to teach and explain them, I am aware that attempting this teaching is a demonstration of how times are changing. As we enter into this new stage of human evolution, what has long been kept hidden is now being revealed.

The old ways, “to know, to dare and to do and to keep silent” are being replaced by openness, as humanity is changing and evolving. Miracles, while as old as time itself, have traditionally been reserved for Divine beings. The past is peppered with those who were ordinary people before they performed what became known as a miracle.

When I consider the stories of miracles, I, of course, look to the stories of the life of Jesus, which are recorded in the New Testament. At the same time, it is important to remember that Jesus said, “Greater things than I have done you shall do.” John 14.

Jesus’s statement seems to direct people to not only believe in miracles but to take an active role in the creation of miracles. It does not relegate miracles to 2500 years ago. It does not imply that miracles are the exclusive purview of Jesus. It seems to imply that doing miracles is a natural and important extension of being disciples of Jesus and of being a spiritual being. It seems to take away the excuse and limiting beliefs you might have about performing miracles because you are only human.

It seems to mean that miracles are a part of living and coming into relationship with the Divine that it is important to understand. This article, this exploration of the components that make miracles happen and sharing my understanding and awareness of miracles is more than I can do in 2000 words today. I realize that there is so much that goes into a miracle that this article is the first step into this mystery.

Miracles are not contrary to nature,
but only contrary to what we know about nature.
– Saint Augustine

In pondering the concept of miracles, you may be immediately confronted with what you believe you know about life and science that falls into the realm of miracles. I will remind you that new discoveries are constantly being revealed about the nature of energy, particularly in the area of subtle energies.

Quantum physics and the astonishing revelations of Noetic Science all make it clear that there is still so much we do not know or understand about life.

It is interesting to note that much of what is being revealed and confirmed in Noetic Science is scientific confirmation of much that has been taught in the Ageless Wisdom.

I continue to explore this concept of miracles through meditation. Also, I will continue to ponder and consider what is revealed in my consciousness in my quest to empower you to create miracles in your life.

As I write to you today, I realize that even though I have been pondering and meditating on the subject of miracles for a while now, the insights and understandings I have now are just a small glimpse into the truth of how miracles work.

I will commit to continuing this quest into the subject of miracles and share with you any insights and revelations I receive in subsequent articles. These I will identify, like I do with my healing articles, as a part of an ongoing series.

That said there are some things I have come to understand about miracles that I can share with you today.

Intention, Personal and Divine Will

It seems clear to me that a miracle involves a merger between intention and personal and Divine Will.

This merging of Will seems to be one of the building blocks, or essential components for manifesting a miracle. I am speaking here of miracles beyond the miracle of creation or the miracle of life itself, to the little miracles you and I may wish to focus upon as we move through life.

The dynamic of personal Will and Divine Will is an integral part of all energetic healing. It speaks to the very deep and profound issues in spiritual and life experience.

This issue of personal Will and Divine Will influences prayers, and it most certainly has a profound impact on the creation of miracles.

As I have considered and prepared to write this article, I have found this issue of personal Will and Divine Will interweaving through my thoughts.

As I have explored why my ponderings about miracles have led me repeatedly to the issue of Will, I realized that it is in the creation of a miracle that personal Will and Divine Will must become perfectly aligned.

This alignment of personal Will and Divine Will is an important part of all energetic healing, and since the miracle that many desire in life are directly related to healing, that makes a great deal of sense. So in some way it is natural to consider healing and miracles together.

A miracle is distinctly different from a prayer or invocation for healing. Although some of the components are very similar to prayer, there seems to be more to a miracle than just prayer. This seems to imply that there is a blending of invocation and evocation in both miracles and prayer.

The Role Of The Soul In Miracles

As I write about miracles, I find myself needing to stop and meditate to let my mind be open to what is involved in performing a miracle. That very fact seems to give an important hint about miracles. A miracle is performed by your Soul when held in perfect alignment with Divine Will. Ponder on this.

Another vital and very important part is that the personal Will is also perfectly and completely aligned with the Will of the Soul and Divine Will. This trinity of Wills has a dynamic power to it.

To achieve this alignment of your personality and your personal Will with the Will of your Soul is an exalted experience and can be transformative and transcendent. Just aligning with the power and magnificence of your Soul is already amazing. This experience alone is often life-changing.

When energy is further aligned with the power and presence of the Divine, especially through the aspect of aligning your Will and your Soul with Divine Will, energy can be changed. It is in this alignment of Source, Soul and Self that great power is released. It is in this unity of Will and purpose that dynamic transformation can take place.

To concurrently be invoking your Will and to be at the same moment in time completely surrendered is a unique experience. All of the prayers you have prayed through a lifetime of petitions are preparation for this mystical moment of union. It is special and rare, as miracles are special and rare.

Prayer is the medium of miracles;
in whatever way works for you, pray right now.
– Marianne Williamson

To come into greater awareness of your Soul and to touch and incorporate the amazing breadth of the wonder of your Soul, is perhaps the best way to open your life to miracles.

Meditation Is The Portal

Meditation is the portal to your Soul. When you open yourself, your heart and your mind to the love that is the nature of your Soul, you have embarked upon a quest to understand the Divine in a more profound and powerful way than you may have thought possible.

It might be said that the first step in a miracle is the step of opening yourself to experience the wonder of your Soul.

The joy of connecting with your Soul in meditation is both wonderful and glorious. Today I offer you a meditation to help you experience the joy of connecting with your Soul. I know of no greater gift that I can give you than to facilitate your connection and awareness of your Soul.

A Meditation to Prepare your Life for Miracles

Much like prayer will help you learn to align your personal Will with Divine Will, this meditation is created to help you align with your Soul.

To begin sit in a quiet place, clear of distractions or interruptions.

This is a special time. This is a sacred time. To enter into this meditation first declare your intention to be open to the amazing Presence of your Soul.

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

Let yourself draw in a very deep breath to help you relax. As you exhale, release any tension or anxieties and let them fade away and disappear from your awareness.

Come into this moment of time. It is only NOW. Nothing that has ever been before this moment has any power over you.

Draw in another very deep and peaceful breath. As you release that breath, let forgiveness and grace begin to fill your heart and your mind.

Affirm that although you have a body, you are more than just a physical being. Realize that although you experience a great array of emotions, they wash over you freely and are now freely released.

Accept that you have a mind, yet you are more than the content of your thoughts.

You have a personality. Let it surrender to the Love, the Wisdom and the directing of your Soul. Let the Soul have control.

Identify with your whole self as you open your heart and your mind to experience the magnificent radiance of your Soul.

Visualize your Soul as a radiant golden-white light three feet above your head. Let the Light, the Love and the Power of your Soul, gently fill your whole being. You are Love. You are Light. You are the Soul.

You are a miracle of Divine Light created by Divine Love and infused with Divine Wisdom to be a Soul having a human experience right here and right now on planet earth.

Let that thought pervade your thoughts. Let that truth fill your heart. Open yourself to being your whole self.

Pause as you breathe in this essence of being that is available to you.

Immediately release any thoughts that disturb you. Let the peace that passes understanding into the moment. Accept the grace, understanding and forgiveness that connecting with your Soul brings.

Let all of your fears crumble into dust as they are blown away into oblivion. Gone, they have no substance to emerge again.

You are Soul. You are the spark of Divine Light that is endless, timeless and eternal.

As Soul, you are One with the Universal Presence. As Soul, you are aligned with the mind of God.

Pause and let yourself experience all that is available to you in this meditation and this moment.

Stay with this awareness for as long as you can. Gradually become aware of your breath. Let your awareness drift to your mind, your heart and your body. Let yourself be filled with the Light, the Love and the Power of your Soul.

As you are ready to conclude, become aware of the sounds and the vibration of the world around you.

Before you return to the needs of your life, take a moment to express your gratitude for the blessing this meditation has been.

Namaste.

I suggest that you take some time in the afterglow of this meditation to record your thoughts and impressions in your journal.

To touch your Soul, is to touch the hem of heaven. I invite and encourage you to meditate on your Soul often and open yourself to the amazing creation that you are.

To touch your Soul, can be the fuel for miracles in your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Activation of Healing Energies

Genevieve Gerard

Activation of Healing Energies

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

When you pray for healing, you are activating energy.

Healing energy activation takes place on many levels.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve

Open Yourself To Being Guided By Kindness

Genevieve Gerard

Open Yourself To Being Guided By Kindness

A standard can be applied to life’s many little decisions that can help you choose what is right and help you create a better world.

That is to let kindness be your guide.

It does not matter if others believe what you believe; you can be a teacher of your truth, without words, by simple acts of kindness.

Kindness demonstrates and teaches more than your words ever can. As the adage simply states, “Action speaks louder than words.”

Kindness is a gateway to compassion.
Compassion is a gateway to Love.
– Genevieve Gerard

For most, to live a spiritual life, to follow the teachings of Christ, can be a challenge as circumstances and events present themselves.

Anger, frustration and judging others as wrong or lacking in some way, are all too easy to do. Deep in your heart and Soul you know that is not what Jesus would have done. His teachings speak of forgiving many times, yet this may seem to be too hard to do. To respond with kindness is somehow more achievable.

Therefore, I suggest simply allowing the concept of kindness to be your guide.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
– Lao Tzu

Somehow, kindness is a simpler standard to achieve in your relationships with others. It can be communicated in a smile or a random compliment to a complete stranger. That simple act, even a random act of kindness, can have a profound influence on someone else’s life.

Often it costs you nothing to give. Frequently, it does not require planning or forethought. Kindness can provide hope to another that has become hopeless, or encouragement to someone who is lonely or discouraged.

A kind word and a kind act most often cost you nothing. It is a small way that you can make the world a better place.

None of us can ever know the secret burdens in the lives of others. However, when we practice kindness we can have an impact and influence to ease their way. Even though we may never know the result of our little gesture of goodwill, at times it may have a dramatic and transforming effect.

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

Kindness is a cornerstone of right human relations that builds and grows as it moves from one person to the next. It ignites energy that can then be passed along.

Kindness requires no belief system. It is a way to demonstrate your love and your joy with total strangers. Although you may never know the influence a kind word has in someone’s life, it is a powerful way to share the spiritual blessings you have received. It is a way that you can be an instrument of grace and compassion in the world.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
– Dalai Lama

When you consider how you can emulate the lives of the great spiritual teachers of the world, it is easy to feel that they are so far beyond you that you have no chance. You know your limitations. Kindness is so simple and so easy that it is a way that you can be a spark of Divine Light and an emissary of Divine Love as you walk through your daily Life.

When you let kindness be your guide, many of the spiritual teachings are fulfilled. It does not require deep understanding of theology or philosophy to practice kindness, yet it has a powerful influence.

Kindness is a way to demonstrate the qualities of Love and grace for others. The wonderful thing about kindness is that it becomes contagious and when it becomes a habit blesses your life in return.

A kind act or a kind deed brings Light into an environment. It helps dispel sorrow. It loosens the bonds of fear. And amazingly this happens spontaneously.

Kindness brings a response in others that emerges naturally.

Think about a time you may have been feeling a little down or insecure and a complete stranger offered you a very simple compliment. Something said to you as simple as remarking “you have such beautiful eyes.” Did that random comment by a stranger not give you a gift of support and encouragement?

Kindness is a way to pass that good feeling on.

Download your copy of the Gift of Love Meditation MP3.

I encourage you to try an experiment of noticing the lives of strangers around you as you engage in a practice of random acts of kindness this week. Observe the way that it makes you feel to be kind to others. Notice how their body language might change after your act of kindness.

Most of all, notice how the generosity of a kind word or kind act makes you feel. For me, it is happier, more relaxed and less isolated in the world.

It is by giving we receive. Through kindness, you can be the change in the world that you wish to see. Remember to be guided by kindness, practice acts of courtesy, good will, graciousness, understanding, and tenderness.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Most People Believe In Guardian Angels

Most People Believe In Angels

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels.

Those who cannot quite seem to believe in angels want to believe.

It is certainly comforting and reassuring to think that as God watches over us through all of our challenges in life, that there are messengers and emissaries of the Divine to help and guide us (the late Latin meaning of angelus is “messenger of God”.)

The best-known, and most often considered angelic presence, is your guardian angel.

As I wrote in, “Meeting Your Guardian Angel,” there is a special relationship between your Soul, which resides in the 5^th kingdom, and the kingdom of the angelic realm.

Today, I would like you to consider and explore the presence and purpose of what I call Guiding Angels.

The presence of guiding angels in your life is more subtle and less dramatic than your guardian angel. Guardian Angels have an angelic commitment to your Soul and your life that is in place throughout the whole of your life. Whereas, guiding angels have a role that engages with a variety of individuals throughout a variety of life circumstances. Because of this, guiding angels have a greater perspective on the human experience that helps them appreciate and understand the subtle factors of what may concern you.

Since angels are beings of pure energy and light, they are not a part of the world of substance, form and matter. Their nature is different from that of a human being. They are created in the substance of Divine Love, and all their life force and interaction with the human kingdom is colored by and influenced by that.

There are changes happening in the world that have thinned the veil between the human kingdom and the angelic kingdom. This thinning permits a greater ease of communication and awareness of angels. This awareness is a profound change and provides to the human experience resources and support that are beyond the five senses.

Guiding Angels have chosen to provide guidance to human beings through their ability to bridge Divine Love and Wisdom. These connections with and understanding of human life events and challenges are beneficial to a Guiding Angels evolutionary life experience, so it is a mutually beneficial relationship.

These angels in the angelic kingdom choose to observe your life and provide the support of their presence and guidance especially in times of a particular challenge or difficulty. Their commitment to you is temporary, unlike the commitment of your Guardian Angel. These angels come and go taking what they have learned in their experience with you to help others. In this way, their perspective serves as a bridge from the heavenly to the human world.

To touch the realm of angels and to call upon and use their support in your daily life requires some shifts in your consciousness and understanding. The rules are different in the realm in which angels live. Angels have their evolutionary path and connection with and communication with the human world is as unique and different for them as communing with Angels is for you.

Just as you are learning to recognize what the touch of an angel feels like, so they are learning how to make their presence known to you.
– Genevieve Gerard

Tips to Hearing the Whisper of a Guiding Angel

There are certain ways that angels have made their presence known throughout the history of the world and these are still in use today. However, as the separation between these two worlds is narrowing, new ways of communicating their presence are emerging. The revelations that communication between these two realities brings is emerging as a key element of increasing the awareness of your Soul’s role in your life.

When you open your heart and your mind to the active relationship with your Soul, through meditation or prayer, you reveal the presence and communion with angels as an added benefit. For this reason, it is good to begin to discriminate and understand some of the ways that angels make their presence known to you.

Communication with the angelic realm is a still and quiet whisper through a telepathic connection. It is more sensing than hearing, more of an impression. To hear the whispering guidance of an angel is truly a blessing. Realize though that it is subtle and different. It comes with absolutely no demands, requirements, expectations or attachment to the outcome. In this way, it is a unique relationship. The only purpose is the greater good in your life.

Expanding your consciousness and listening to the whisper of your guiding angel, enables you to explore new ways of being that are more congruent with the wisdom and perspective of your Higher Self. Guiding angels provide this gentle nudge from the realm of spirit.

This angelic communication leaves a sense of being loved so deeply and unconditionally that it can only be understood in the heart. Love, joy, and peace are the residuals of guiding angels transforming touch.

I suggest that you set aside some time for prayer and meditation to invoke and invite the presence of your guiding Angels.

Since the dawn of creation, people have used rituals to call upon the presence of angels. A ritual both helps you to calm your mind of the fears and chattering that can drown out the still silent whisper of your angel’s voice.

To create a call to the Angels to provide you help and guidance, bring your mind to a point of calm, open your heart to receive love, and be quiet with an open receptivity to the thoughts and impression of your Soul to guide you in your life.

Many people who regularly meditate have a special place that they use. It may be a special chair or a special view. Some have candles or have designated particular incense that helps them calm their mind and open their heart as they invite the Light of their Soul.

There are as many ways to create a sacred space as there are people on earth. None of them is wrong. The intention that goes into the creation of sacred space is a part of the empowerment. That intention helps your energy, whether, through prayer or meditation, invocation or affirmation connect you with your Higher Self and the angelic world. Ponder on this.

If you create such a sacred space for yourself, I always suggest that you have a journal in easy reach to record the promptings and insights you receive.

Throughout the ages, special chapels in churches have been used for meditation, prayer and the communion with your Soul and Angels. If you use one of these sacred spaces, I also suggest you bring your journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive. The whispering of angels or the silent prompting of your Soul can all too easily be drowned out by the noise of life, so what your record in these special times is of special import and value.

Most important, in this sacred time, I open my mind and my heart to receive the guidance of my angels. I look to the wisdom of my Soul to clarify my choices and inspire my thinking that I may be an instrument of Divine Love for the aid and service to the world.

I also give thanks for the blessings I am about to receive. I welcome my guiding angels and appreciate their presence in my life.

Finally know that your prayers, your meditation and your invocation help to bring the realm of the angelic closer to the world of matter.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Quality of Loving Understanding

Genevieve Gerard

The Quality of Loving Understanding

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

The other day when I was meditating upon what is known as “The Festival of Humanity,” (a time in the spiritual calendar where Christ gathers his disciples to disperse and dispense to the world the energies most needed at this time, for the purpose of helping and healing humanity), the concept of loving understanding was impressed upon my Soul.

I will strive to share with you this concept of Loving Understanding. It contains within it some nuances of love that have a profound impact on the art of loving. I will do my very best to share with you how it affects loving and influences your understanding of improving right relationships.

More important than my explanation and understanding of this concept of Loving Understanding, I invite you to ponder upon the concept. Be receptive to the angels and the work of the Holy Spirit to bring to the world these energies of love.

What message and insight you receive as you open your heart, your mind and your Soul to the work and service of the Christ, will have a more powerful impact than my words can ever hope to have.

As I issue this invitation as a call to action, I would like to clarify something that I hope will communicate an underlying message in all of my writings and teachings. My role and my hope are to help you get more consciously aware of the wisdom and guidance of your Soul. There are no concepts that I can ever share with you that will have more power or impact in your life than opening to the power and the insight of your Soul.

My human imperfection limits my work and my teachings. Still I strive to serve as a conduit and bridge to help you find the deep inner truth that is within you.

Once you connect with your Soul and experience these deep inner truths, your prayers, and your meditations will be open to the promptings of your Soul. I believe that this should be true of every spiritual teacher. I believe your Soul will guide you to the solutions to your challenges and lessons that are unique to your purpose and your life journey.

Each life has its sacred journey and within it the opportunity to learn and to grow into right-relationship with God and those we encounter along the way. Our adventure of life can be amazing and wonderful. Entering into right-relationship with others brings with it the gifts of love and unlimited opportunities for joy.

Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them, humanity cannot survive.
– Dalai Lama

As I was pondering about the guidance of this recent meditation and its perspective of which we approach our relationship with one another in the context of loving understanding, I realized that there are subtle, yet important, ways this concept is significant.

Spiritual teachings have long advised us to love one another. The standard of love has been to love unconditionally. The way it is described is, “love one another as God has loved you.” This is a standard against which we measure our love, that most people can only seldom achieve.

I know in my life when I have been able to love everyone unconditionally, it is glorious and wonderful. I also know that many times in my life and my loving, I have failed to reach that standard.

Love is not only something you feel; it is something you do.
– David Wilkerson

This example of loving understanding seems to offer a step toward loving more unconditionally. It encompasses activating compassion without any demands or expectations.

Loving understanding starts from the awareness and acknowledgment that each of us in our humanity and our life experiences are imperfect, and that is perfectly alright.

From a trip to the Middle East, I am reminded of a story that I heard while visiting a rug making facility that created exquisite handmade silk rugs.

The proprietor told me that every rug had a flaw, often woven in on purpose because “only God is perfect.” In my many years of coaching, I have seen people suffer from judging themselves against an impossible standard of expectations. I often say, “Only God is perfect. You don’t have to be perfect since you are not God.”

This compassion of release from unrealistic expectations, which is inherent in the concept of treating one another from the perspective of loving understanding can influence relationships in very important ways. It implies respect that each of us is on our own life’s journey and our own path.

No mistake along the way ever destroys the truth. Every failure, every foible is an opportunity for greater growth and understanding of what it means to live and how to love. No life lesson is ever wasted if you look at it from a higher perspective.

When you release your demands upon either yourself or others, there is an ability to relax and enjoy without judgment or criticism. You can be who you are, accept how you are, and more importantly understand that those around you are on their own path and have their own life lessons to learn.

This freedom of expectations also loosens the negative aspects of attachment. It enables you to appreciate the unique differences that exist between individuals while enhancing and supporting one another with loving understanding.

With this understanding, you honor that you are you, and I am I, in a way that celebrates the miracle of relationship and sharing our life journey.

There is a mantra that was adapted from the Ageless Wisdom by my spiritual mentor, Dr. Robert Gerard Ph.D. © 1980. It can be freely used and shared as long as the copyright and attribution are used.

A mantra is a way of focusing your meditation. I have always liked this one and feel that it will help empower and enhance your meditations on loving understanding.

I Stand A Point Of Peace

I stand a point of peace,

and through that point

true power, love and light can flow.

I stand in restful poise,

and through that poise

I can attract the gifts

that I can share.

You Can Heal Your Life

You Can Heal Your Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A powerful mantra that speaks to this point invokes:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve

A Celebration of Unity

Genevieve Gerard

A Celebration of Unity

Wherever we are on planet earth, we are all touched by the same Sun.

Moreover, when that sunlight fades away we are all caressed by the same moonlight.

We are One humanity and no matter how isolated or separate we may feel at times, this common experience of life unifies us in a mystical way.

An old spiritual teacher of mine used to always tell me that, “we are more alike than different.” If you take a moment to think about it, you will realize it is true.

It doesn’t matter whether you live in the very highest reaches of the Himalayas, or walk on the sands of the furthest shore, the experience of human life is a common denominator that works toward understanding and unity.

There are of course many differences in each of us that depend upon many unique factors, yet, interwoven with all the things that seem to separate and divide us, there is also an inescapable unity of consciousness.

Understanding Unity

This morning as I meditate upon and consider what message and teaching are important today, it is to enhance an understanding of this unity.

Ponder on and celebrate this, and know that awareness of the Oneness can create an important shift in your consciousness.

THE LAW OF ONE

We are all one.

When one is harmed, all are harmed.
When one is helped, all are healed.

Therefore, in the name of who I AM,
and I AM ONE with all;
I ask that ONLY THAT WHICH IS THE HIGHEST GOOD OF ALL
CONCERNED happen here and now and through all time and space.

I give thanks that this is done.
SO BE IT!
– Unknown

The human experience is defined by common needs and common desires. Once the most basic of your survival needs, such as food, water, and shelter are met, the need for safety and security emerge. This may bring you to a longing for peace. In this, you are not alone. The desire for peace is a unifying factor of unity that we can celebrate. The desire for peace is expressed throughout the world.

There is among all of humankind, a brotherhood. We share the same sun. We are pulled by the same gravity when we climb. The same stars sparkle in our sky, and we dream under the same moon. We all long for love. We all hope and dream.

Also, we are all created with a spark of Divinity within us that is beyond the name we use to describe the Divine. This unity, this oneness of the human family and the human experience, transcends all of the seeming differences and diversities of life.

Watch The Law of One below…

Is It Us Versus Them?

As I consider all of the sorrow and sufferings that are created by the illusion of separateness, I find my eyes overflowing with tears. The unspeakable horror of war builds its justification on this illusion of separateness.

The whole mentality of dividing the world into the categories of us versus them, somehow serves to excuse doing to others things that deep in the inner reaches of the human heart go against the instinctual sense of Right Action, and Goodness.

At its core, it violates the teachings of the Golden Rule, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Wherever I have traveled in the amazing world in which we live, and I have traveled both far and wide in my life, I have found in my conversations with people longing for peace, a desire for peace and an inescapable sense of accord. This shows me there are harmony and similarity of values and needs between us.

This cannot help but make me wonder if all people everywhere desire and value peace, why the cessation of war seems to be just a brief pause before the next war begins?

It seems that the politicians and world leaders know that their people desire peace, so they have come up with new ways to confuse situations by no longer calling it a war, instead they use words like conflict, action, or other synonyms for war, as peace is broken.

But no matter how the spin doctors spin things, and no matter the meaning of the different flags that get draped over the coffins of the dead, war creates appalling horror to all who are engaged in it.

To quote a popular protest poster of the 1960s in the United States,

War is not healthy for children or other living things.

This is the rallying call of a group called “Another Mother for Peace.”

It seems surprising that in a world where the common human need for safety and security is paramount, the ongoing pattern of wars and rumors of wars exists. Yet, the motivation and indeed the solution to this insanity lie in our understanding of an affirmation of our oneness, our unity.

This is not a new awareness; this is not even a contemporary thought. It is recorded in the Bhagavad Gita that the Pandava prince Arjuna, one of the greatest warriors of legend realized on the battlefield, “I can no longer war against myself.”

The Bhagavad Gita has been a significant part of spiritual literature and teachings since between the 4th and the 5th century B.C.E.

It was Arjuna’s realization of the oneness and unity of all, that stilled his bow. It is in the understanding of, and appreciation of our unity as one humanity, that our hope for peace is empowered.

Invoke Peace To Bring Unity

We know that in our world today there is far too little peace. However, we can pray for peace.

We can invoke peace in our meditations. We can unite our voices with others in invoking and meditating for peace. In this way, we all work to bring about the world we all long for.

Thus, you lend your support to world leaders everywhere to help resolve the conflicts that reinforce the illusion of separateness, which fuels fear and hatred in the world.

The antidote to fear is the truth, and the antidote to hate is Love. It is the principle of truth and the healing power of Love that you can send forth in meditation, to turn away wrath, and to heal the hurts that fuel the desire for vengeance.

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
– Mahatma Gandhi

There are across the planet, on every continent, in every country, those who work tirelessly for peace and the benefit of humanity. They are men and women who strive to bring the Will of Good into manifestation in the world. They are the men and woman of Goodwill.

This group of Soul’s who may have never met, express their beliefs through their own religion and philosophy, yet they know and understand that there is not a religion greater than the truth, and they know that Love is the greatest law.

Their work is to bring about a better world, to create for all the opportunity to manifest the purpose of their Soul and the overall plan of evolution, the same plan that is contained within the mind of the Creator for all humanity.

Their work and purpose is beyond dogma. It is not necessary to believe in any specific belief to join and support their work for the world.

Their common work is for the common good. Their service is for the greater good of all. Their guiding question is the determination in any situation of “how is love best served?”

How Can I Help Unify the World?

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

The Mantram of the New Group of World Servers Blessing

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 peace.

This is but one small effort and one small step that you can take. I have offered this blessing for many years. I invite you to join your heart with mine and your Soul’s effort with mine to make this world a better place.

Right here, right now, a sense of Unity and Oneness is available to you.
– Genevieve Gerard

You can also join all of humanity on the International Day of Peace, which is September 21st every year.

I thank you for whatever ways you strive to love one another, live in harmony, celebrate unity and demonstrate the principles of goodwill, harmlessness, right speech, and right action. Your prayers, your blessings, your meditations and invocations all serve as affirmations.

I join with you in a celebration of our Oneness.

Namaste,

Genevieve

You Need Not Earn A Mothers Love

Genevieve Gerard

You Need Not Earn A Mothers Love

– Thoughts on Love for Mother’s Day

From the first breath of life, a baby begins to learn about love.

Throughout life, until that baby takes its last breath, love will amazingly be the most natural, joyful and wonderful experience in life and simultaneously the most challenging.

Learning to love and letting love evolve and grow is part of the miracle of life. Some might say that it is the purpose of life, the reason for living.

On Mother’s Day, here in the United States, it seems natural to consider the birth of my son, as I consider writing about love and the amazing lessons and changes that becoming a Mother gave me.

Motherhood is a life-changing event. Once you are a Mother, you are always a Mother. Being a Mother is perhaps nature’s best opportunity to learn about love.

I remember, as I am sure most Mother’s do, that powerful moment when after all of the discomfort of pregnancy and pain of delivery, my child was placed in my arms. In that moment there was such a welling up of joy and love in my heart that it could not be contained. Love, in that moment, became the most important thing I would ever do or could ever do with my life.

As I held my child in my arms and looked deeply into his eyes, he smiled. That moment, that first connection, opened a place in my heart and touched my Soul and spontaneously filled me with unconditional love that was so powerful and so profound that I knew I was in some way miraculously changed.

In that moment, by that connection of our Souls, I learned something about love that was beyond any lesson that life had ever offered me before. I was transformed, and I felt deep in my heart what I would learn, experience and grow with, by having this child, loving this child and protecting this child.

It was not simply the miracle of being a co-creator of life that overwhelmed me; it was how my awareness of what it means to love was transformed. To love unconditionally is, we are told, how God loves us. I knew at that moment that my son would never need to earn my love.

Yet, to really understand that is not easy. Unconditional love is selfless, and most of us, as human beings know ourselves to be selfish. To learn to love unconditionally is to learn to express that spark of the Divine that makes a human being unique and wonderful out of all of creation.

When you let love be your guide, you will never get lost.
– Genevieve Gerard

Perhaps it is through the miracle of becoming a Mother that this great life lesson is empowered. The miraculous event of motherhood will transform you and will provide the lesson of unconditional love.

It will teach you that it is not dependent upon the act of giving birth, but is related to becoming a Mother. This I learned when my nephew joined our family as a very welcomed adoptive addition. Being a mother is much more than just giving birth. It is a way of expressing love that is unique to that experience.

If your life was blessed with the experience of being a Mother, take a moment to pause and consider all that you have learned from that life’s adventure. Make sure that your loved ones know that they need not earn your love, but rather you give it unconditionally.

On May 10th and throughout the year, we should celebrate Mothers everywhere. Take the time to consider and be grateful for the love that has transformed and touched your life. It could be from your biological mother or from a grandmother, an aunt, a teacher or even a supportive neighbor.

Mother’s Day provides an excellent opportunity to remind us to express our gratitude for those who have loved us, guided us and supported us throughout our journey and who have provided us with the unconditional love that is called a Mother’s love.

Also, remember that the bonds of love and the lessons that love can teach in life most often reach their culmination in family life. And although families are imperfect, there is no other human structure that gives you more opportunities to learn about love, and to demonstrate what it means to love, than family.

Ironically, family not only teaches you to love, but also teaches you about the need to forgive, and hopefully also how to forgive.

No one anywhere can trigger our emotional response more powerfully than our families.
Check out my Heart of the Family Meditation CD-MP3 for a transforming awareness meditation
that will unite your family.

Erik Fromm, humanistic psychologist and philosopher discusses in his book, “The Art of Loving” the importance developmentally of the unconditional love of a Mother’s love. He is quoted as saying,

“Mother’s love is peace. It need not be acquired, it need not be deserved.”
– Erich Fromm

It is through your relationship with your Mother that you first begin to learn life’s lessons about love, so it is wonderful that by becoming a Mother you can learn how to love unconditionally.

In my deepest moments of meditation and reflection upon the meaning of life, I have found that learning to love is the most important of the lessons we are given throughout life. It seems that most of life’s challenges and the very best of life’s blessings and joy are interwoven with love.

I believe in your life, it is what you have done for love, that gives you the greatest sense of accomplishment and the deepest sense of satisfaction and success. If you take this celebration of Mother’s Day, and consider the Mother’s love in your own life, I feel you will also find that to be true. Ponder on this.

Take this moment to consider and meditate on all that you have learned about love in your life.

You may wish to record these thoughts and impressions in your journal. If you don’t have a journal, you may wish to take this day to begin one.

You might wish to add to your consideration of what love is, the words of St. Paul in his famous epistle to the Corinthians.

The Way of Love

Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Love never ends… so now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
– 1 Corinthians, English Standard Version (ESV)

From the moment of your birth to the moment of your death, giving and receiving has more impact on your life than anything else you do. Throughout your life, the lessons you learn about loving are the most profound.

This is true of learning to love within your family relationships. It is true when you strive to love one another as you have been loved by God. It is true of learning to love yourself. One might say that life is a classroom where the primary lesson is love.

Love has the power to redeem and the power to heal. It is a bridge across the divide between life and death because when you love another, the bond is forged from Soul to Soul.

The spark of your Self that is both Divine and eternal is what gives love its greatest power and provides the greatest joy.

This day is the perfect time to celebrate love and to consider the many ways that love manifests in your life. This day is a perfect time to consider the ways that love influences your life. Throughout your life is the perfect opportunity to express your gratitude for the love you have received.

We love life, not because we are used to living, but because we are used to loving.
– Fredrick Nietzsche

Mother’s Day can also be a powerful time to forgive and let the hurt of your past heal. It is time to accept the grace and healing love of the Divine Mother. It is a time to invoke the work and wisdom of the Divine Mother in your life.

This Mother’s Day, celebrate love, celebrate life and demonstrate love in your life!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Celebrating Wesak A Ceremony of Unity

Genevieve Gerard

Celebrating Wesak A Ceremony of Unity

In the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, a tradition of many thousands of years, we explore a profound spiritual event that is rich with mystery of the unity, cooperation, and unification of Divine energies.

These create a mystical blending of the ongoing work in the world of the two great avatars, the two most profound spiritual presences who have ever influenced the world.

These are the Buddha and the Christ. Legend tells us that at the Taurus Full Moon the wisdom energy of the Buddha descends from Shambhala (the home of the Father) and blends and merges with the Divine Love energy that is brought to earth through the work and service of the Christ in a mystical event that brings a unification and world unity to humanity.

This particular expression of Divine purpose and Divine Will is supported by a host of spiritual beings who bridge the consciousness of humanity, with what is known as the overall plan of evolution, a plan formed in the Mind of God within the Heart of God.

These are lofty thoughts that strive to explain some of how the Divine reaches out to humanity in an ongoing relationship. Like all legends, these events speak to a symbolic truth to explain the unexplainable and express the unknowable. To consider these concepts, open your mind and listen with your heart. Let your Soul and your inner sensing of truth guide you.

This legend of Wesak speaks to the ongoing support and service of the Buddha and the continued service of the Christ on behalf of humanity. This is a great mystery in the continuing story of grace and salvation that continues throughout the human experience.

As you may know, the nature of the teaching of the Buddha goes back over 5000 years. The Buddha was historically the first to reach enlightenment. His teachings focus on the principles of wisdom that led him to enlightenment. Since the Buddha walked and taught his tradition his teachings have expanded across the planet guided by the principles of The Four Nobel Truths.

The Buddha, through his life, is credited with grounding the Divine energy of wisdom on planet earth. In the practice of Buddhist meditation from Zen to Mindfulness wisdom, the Four Nobel Truths and the principles of detachment are expressed.

At the end of his life the Buddha, through his compassion, dedication, and service to humanity, vowed to continue until all sentient beings reached enlightenment. Legend tells us that the Buddha then left the physical plane and ascended to continue this work from the plane of the mind of God. It is in response to his dedication to serving humanity to bring them to the state of consciousness that is called enlightenment that the Buddha energetically returns each year to empower humanity.

This return of the energy of the Buddha in the Wesak Valley is the honoring of that vow. The teachings of the Buddha and the ongoing work and service of the Buddha have had a major impact on humanity as Buddhism in its many forms has become one of the world’s great religions. Indeed following the principles of Buddhism enabled countless individuals in the span of time since the accession of the Buddha to reach out to, and strive for, right relationship with God.

There is among those who seek to understand the nature of God and the nature of man’s relationship with God, a concept that I have always found to capture and express a profound truth. God has since the first Light of creation strived to bring man into right relationship with God. This right relationship is often described as an “I-Thou” relationship.

It seems as we look over the whole history of humankind there has been an ongoing attempt for God to reach and teach humanity how to relate to God. This is known in theological circles as God’s saving grace through history.

This ongoing attempt of God to find a way to bring humanity into the right relationship can be seen interwoven throughout even the most ancient of scriptures such as the Bhagavadgita, a plethora of Buddhists scrolls and the writings and the revelations of both the Old and New Testament. The prophets of the Old Testament, the covenant relationship with Abraham and the whole history of religions known and faded from memory, weave a dynamic story of the relationship between God and His creation, humankind.

If you look at the history of the world from the perspective of God reaching out to humanity to teach how to be in right relationship with God, you see a pattern of revelation and redemption that makes the life of Jesus and the sacrifice of the Christ far more understandable and far more profound. Ponder on this!
– Genevieve Gerard

The salvation and sacrifice that is the mystery and miracle of the Easter story are clarified when you realize that 2,500+ years since the Buddha walked the earth Jesus was sent to transform how people understood and related to God. Before that time in the evolution of human awareness of God, the concept of God as love didn’t exist. This one change was vast. Part of the work of the Christ as the Son of God who was also a son of man was creating this transformation on earth.

The Ageless Wisdom reveals that in the sacrifice of the crucifixion the incredible power that shreds the veil in the temple, in those final moments of Good Friday when Jesus cried out “It is finished,” was the anchoring of Divine Love on earth.

This mystery, this miracle, changed everything that had ever been before and created a new covenant relationship with God, which was created and has continued, through the celebration of The Last Supper.

The sacrifice of God and the sacrifice of the Christ, aligned and assigned the Christ to the principle of Divine Love, a work that continues to this day. This great miracle and this great mystery are still being revealed and are evolving in human understanding.

Wesak Valley Festival

This blending of the work and purpose of the life of the Christ, which is manifesting Divine Love on Earth, with the work and purpose of the Buddha, which is the introduction and evolution of wisdom in humanity, is celebrated every year in a remote valley in the Himalayas known as the Wesak Valley.

This is a celebration that brings to the world the energies of Love-Wisdom. Legend reveals that one Moon after what is known as the Festival of the Christ, which is followed by the Celebration of the Resurrection, which is known as Easter, is a third powerful ceremony, Wesak.

These Full Moon ceremonies follow one another in the cycle of astrology which has long been associated with the energies of these exalted beings.

Wesak or Vesa, known as Buddha Purnima (purnima meaning the full moon day in Sanskrit) and Buddha Day, is sometimes called “Buddha’s Birthday”, because it actually commemorates the birth, enlightenment (nirvāna), and death (Parinirvāna) of Gautama Buddha.

Even though the Full Moon of Taurus has traditionally been a celebration of the Buddha’s birth, the festival of Wesak is much more mystical and magical than just the remembrance of a birth. It is at this time that the world service and the world purpose of the Christ as the avatar of Divine Love and the world service and world purpose of the Buddha, which is the Divine infusion of wisdom, merge.

Energetically at this time, there is a great gathering of those who serve God and humanity to bring about the Will of God, through the overall plan of evolution, to help disperse through humankind, the energies of the Divine that come to earth through the joined efforts of the Christ and the Buddha.

This event has taken place for thousands of years, although it may have never come to your individual awareness.

In the Wesak Valley, this blending of the Divine energies of Love and Will, for the distinct purpose of serving humankind, attracts on the inner plane the dedication and efforts of a vast array of beings. These beings are known by a number of names and descriptions. Among these being saints, masters of the hierarchy, initiates, angels, devas, and the men and woman of Goodwill. They are all part of the planetary effort to make this world a better place; that is under the direction of the Christ and are known collectively as the New Group of World Servers.

Those who meditate and pray as a part of their spiritual journey may find that they have recognized this special celebration through a sense of expanded insight or even in dreams. Long before I ever heard the description of these energies or had any conscious awareness or understanding of this happening I found myself drawn to meditation and prayer at his time of the year. Old journals are filled with guidance and impressions. After this time, I note that I often began important creative or writing projects. If you look back over the span of your life, you may well see that these subtle energies have had an unknown influence on your life. If so, you might wish to consider this and ponder further on this.

The Ageless Wisdom teaches that the energetic influence that is associated with a Full Moon is a 3-day span of time. This is called the orb of the Full Moon. The highest point of this inner plane ceremony takes place at the apex of the Full Moon.

On April 23, 2024, at 4:49 pm Pacific (USA) and 7:49 pm Eastern (USA), 12:49 am April 24th in London and 7:49 am in the Philippines or Hong Kong, people around the world will be gathering in groups, in meditation or in spirit, to join their Souls to this energetic blessing and infusion of Love-Wisdom.

Angels Are Among Us

Genevieve Gerard

Angels Are Among Us

This article is a part of my on-going series on Angels.

How the visible world co-exists with and connects with the invisible world is a great mystery.

There remains among most of us a sweet residual memory of an awareness of the presence of the angelic realm from a time of innocence and acceptance in our childhood when the realm of angels and devas was open to our inner sight.

You may remember this time. You may be one of the rare people who kept this vision open in spite of the input and insistence of those who only value what was material and tangible as real.

You may remember being ridiculed or disapproval as you insisted that this world you could see with your etheric vision was real.

Gradually, you may have learned to accept the definitions and limitations that the world around you defined as real.

If you are one of the rare and special individuals, who clung to a sense of truth and knowing about the nature of what is real, in spite of your reality not receiving the confirmation of those around you, this post is especially for you.

It is a part of the amazing hubris of the human experience to only acknowledge and value what can be experienced, touched and felt through the senses of sight, touch, hearing, taste or smell.

To deny the reality that anything exists beyond the accepted ways of sensing or experiencing the world is an unnecessary limitation. It confines and entraps you to an awareness that constricts, rather than opens and expands, your reality to the amazing miracle that is all of life and all of creation.

Life, and indeed consciousness, is not limited and confined by what is material in the world. To begin to understand this and expand your awareness to feel and explore energy and consciousness beyond the limitation of matter opens your mind.

To think that matter is the only thing that is real denies and confines truth. The fact is, you don’t know, what you don’t know.

It is an important step in consciousness to begin to understand the immense scope of what is real in this vast and amazing multifaceted adventure we know as life.
– Genevieve Gerard

To begin to acknowledge that both what is composed of spirit is real and simply obeys different universal laws than the laws that govern matter, opens your heart and your mind to an awareness that is even more amazing and miraculous than you have ever imagined.

Physics in its quest for understanding the nature of what is real is just beginning to explore reality in ways that demonstrate that the world is more mysterious and magical that we have ever imagined.

I’m a big believer in quantum physics, which says that the universe is more incredible and mysterious than any of us can imagine, which is my way of saying, ‘Anything is possible, including angels.’
– Caroline Leavitt

The knowledge of the subtle world is just beginning to be explored and explained by the scientific world. Much of what has been taught in the Ageless Wisdom, or has been revealed in spiritual teachings of the Bible, are just beginning to be explained or understood.

Physics and science has the ability to measure increasingly more refined subtle energies, which unveils a world that is much more diverse and amazing than has been imagined.

The nature of energy, the nature of consciousness, how thought and other invisible forces impact the material world, are all revealing concepts that are changing our understanding of life.

For those for whom the only reality is scientific proof, what is being revealed through quantum physics and especially the groundbreaking field of noetic science, requires opening and expanding the understanding of what is real.

Concepts such as the Holographic Universe and the revelation that space can be inter-permeable, as well as new revelations about the nature of subatomic particles, are mind expanding and awareness enhancing.

Angels Are . . .

In light of these revelations, we can begin to understand how angels can be among us and have always been among us.

Most people believe that there are angels. I think most people want to believe that angels observe our human experience and can at times provide assistance. The concept of a guardian angel appeals to most people. Throughout literature, there have been many stories told of angels appearing in one’s life, often as messengers from God.

That angels can have a message that is personal and revealing is certainly behind the popularity of Angel cards. That angels are still the messengers of God, aware of a willingness to provide assistance, is a very comforting and appealing concept.

This leads to wondering how the angelic or spiritual realm can connect with and influence the world of dense matter or more significantly come into your awareness.

It seems a first step is to understand that matter must obey the rules of matter, but that there is that which is not matter and therefore functions by different rules. The inter-penetrable nature of space demonstrated through particle physics provides a hint that is most likely beyond the understanding of most people.

Luckily, your consciousness is not limited by your ability to understand these different realms, nor is the truth or nature of the realm of spirit limited by your understanding. Your consciousness can travel freely from the world of matter into the realm of spirit. This you can do through meditation. This you can do by deep pondering in nature.

Open yourself to an encounter with heaven, be as a little child. Release your desire to the winds of the universe. Trust your angels to catch your wish and bring it to you in a delightfully surprising way.
– Doreen Virtue

People often find it easier to sense and touch the spirit world when they are out in nature. The intermingled interaction between spirit and matter is more visible when the bombarding of the physical senses becomes less intense. When you are in nature the presence of the world of spirit blends with the presence of life itself.

Away from the noise and bustle of cities and stress, in the quiet and amidst the teaming of the life force of nature, is an excellent opportunity to renew and refine your ability to commune with and open your awareness to, the rich energy of the world of spirit.

In order to experience the world of spirit it is helpful to have some understanding of the part of creation that not only co-exists with our human life experience but also co-creates in its own realm under its own Divine direction in harmony and cooperation with the world of matter.

To understand that the realm of angels is different from the world of tangible substance and matter does not make one realm real and the other unreal. It does mean however that they operate within distinctive parameters. They serve different purposes and functions in the world. They are experienced through a distinctive sense that is more attuned to subtle and etheric energy, than the more dense matter that is perceived through the senses of sight, sound, touch taste, and smell.

Angels have long been presences in many of the world’s great Cathedrals. There they have an almost tangible feel that supports the bridging of the awareness of spirit requested by human petitioners.

It is believed by many who receive impressions from the angelic realm that this impregnating of the world’s great Cathedrals is an act of service by the angels so that humans may have an experience of their Soul, which resides in the realm of the angelic. Their presence serves as a conduit to a greater experience of your Soul, thus making it easier to be open to the energy of the world of Spirit.

I believe angels are always among us and we can feel their presence. We can open our hearts and our minds to the soft gentle voice of their nature by invitation and invocation in meditation when we have the intention to experience the world that is not made of matter, yet is no less real.

The Nature of Angels

It is important to understand some essential elements of the nature of angels. Angels are beings who live and move and have their being in a way that is unique to them and different from the human evolutionary experience. Their being resides on a different plane of existence.

The essence of Divine Love weaves the fabric of their life. That is why the sensing or appearance of angels is usually associated with a profound sense of being loved. It also explains why throughout time most who have written of angels have described them as residents of heaven.

The realm of the invisible, that is the realm of angels, is also the realm of your Soul. Your Soul, your guardian angel, and a mystical angel known as the Angel of the Presence are all a dynamic part of your human evolution that is a part of this invisible realm of being.

This awareness may shift your understanding of the phrase oft-touted:

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Think about that possibility and consider what implications that would have in your life. Ponder on this.

You are a spark of Divine Light. You were created in the image of the creator. These are deep truths and deep mysteries that speak to a sense of knowing that defies logic. You are an eternal being who has entered into matter for a span of measured time out of eternity.

You don’t just have a Soul; your Soul is the essence of your being. You have a physical body, emotional body, a mind, and personality but these are under the influence of your Soul, which is the eternal spark of Divinity that defines you.

What you can touch, see, feel, taste or smell all exists in the world of matter. What you can sense beyond the 5 senses of matter comes to you through the gifts of the higher mind, intuition and sensing and impressions of your Soul.

To open your awareness and your ability to touch the reality of this realm of consciousness you need to utilize invitation and invocation to make it accessible to your conscious mind while you sit quietly in the stillness.

Meditate to Invite Angels to Appear

I have found that meditation can be the doorway to experiencing these subtle energies, so I have created a meditation just for you to invite angels into your life.

Before you begin this meditation, you might wish to have a journal and pen at hand so that you can record and capture whatever insights, guidance or impressions you receive.

To begin a meditation to connect with and commune with Angels it is important to first quiet your mind of the constant chatter that masks your ability to hear the promptings in the silence, the still quiet voice of the Soul and of angelic presences.

As much as you are able, suspend thought and judgment as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

As you sit quietly and prepare to listen, not with your ears but with your inner ear and to see not with your eyes but with your inner sight, let your mind be open and receptive.

Then issue an Angel invocation and invitation by saying in your heart and mind:

Angels of Light, Angels of Love, Angels of God, I invite you to come into my presence and reveal to me any messages, thoughts or impressions that can help me at this time in my life.

I open my mind to receive any thoughts or impressions that will guide me in my heartfelt desire to live a better life.

For the gift of your guidance, I give thanks. For the blessing that you have come to my awareness at my invitation and invocation, I give thanks.

Now, having issued the invitation sit quietly and receptively for about 5-10 minutes.

Record in your journal any thoughts or impressions you might have. Once you feel the connection to the angelic presences, you can offer up a specific issue or challenge about which you need help and clarity.

Remain quiet and receptive, observing.

This time of communing will begin to fade.

Before you return to your daily life, express your gratitude for this quiet time and any clarity or understanding you may have received.

Carry with you the peace, the love and the joyful sense of communion you may have touched in this meditation.

I invite you and encourage you to open your heart and your mind to the presence of angels in your life. Connecting with your Soul is a portal to consciousness of the world of angels and the Divine that can have impact and influence on your life.

The guidance, the wisdom, the love and the joy that are available through expanding your awareness is empowering and amazing.

When you open your heart, and your mind to experience and enjoy the beauty and blessings of your life on all levels of your being, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual, the miracle of life will be revealed. Joy and love will fill your life. This love and this joy are your birthright and are available to you when you open up to the belief that angels are among us. Celebrate!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Experience Praise and Gratitude

Genevieve Gerard

Experience Praise and Gratitude

Words have power.

They each resonate with their own energy.

This is a part of the deep magic that was revealed in the opening passages of Genesis. God’s use of words was inherent in the process of creation. So too are your words inherent in the process of what you create in your own life.

Since we think using words, this is also a significant factor in the principle that “energy follows thought.”

When you choose one word over another, you are on a subtle yet powerful level choosing to experience the energy of that one word over another.

This dynamic of word choice can influence what you experience when you choose specific words.

This is always true and provides a significant hint for how you can live a deeper, richer and more joyful life.

Songs of Praise

In my life, I have found song to be especially potent when applied to expressing praise and gratitude.

There seems to be a spontaneous connection to feelings of joy and the words of praise especially when lifted in praise to God. This is especially powerful when you “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.”

I can think of countless songs that will lift my spirit even in times of the darkest sorrow or despair. These are most often songs of praise. What songs move you?

When I was a young girl mundane household chores were dispensed with quickly and much more happily when songs of praise were sung while they were being accomplished.

My Grandmother and I would sing hymns and songs of praise while washing the dishes in the evening. This was a wonderful way to end the day. Remembering this is a part of what I wish to share with you today.

Praise can both lighten the heart and lighten the burdens you bear. Most songs of praise or prayers of praise are interwoven with gratitude. Praise can support you and help sustain you in both your life and your faith.

It is such a simple thing, that it is often forgotten or ignored.

In the very act of praise, you are affirming deep truths. By the act of affirmation and by expressing the gratitude that is so often entwined with it, you unleash a mighty force. This is true in your own heart, mind, and Soul.

Praise is not prayer, although there are certain prayers of praise. Praise is a unique expression of your relationship with another. It is an appreciation and celebration of the love and grace of that relationship. It is such a deep understanding of the loving dynamic of that relationship that your heart bursts forth with gratitude and joy.

When you focus on how wonderful God is and all the great things He’s done… is doing… and even will do in your life,
your natural response will be praise, adoration and awe. Don’t let yourself ever get used to it… stay amazed!
– Joyce Meyer

Using Songs of Praise As a Meditation

Just as prayer is different from praise, there is a technique I have used in my life that turns praise into a meditation or meditative experience.

Choose a song that expresses the gratitude or joy you are feeling. One of my personal favorites that I have used many times in this way is “How Great Thou Art.”

Either play the song or sing the song, and each time really consider and listen to the words in the song.

I have found to set up the song to play repetitively creates a joy that impacts me and integrates me with my whole being and aligns me with the Divine.

Let the meaning deep into your heart. Let your listening become the meditative experience.

Let the experience of the song help you calm your mind.

As you do this open your heart to love, grace, and gratitude.

Invite the Light of your higher Self into your life.

The Lighter Side of Praise and Gratitude

You can also lighten this experience up by doing other things while you are doing this.

As you listen to music that invokes praise and gratitude in the background as you go about your day, allow it to permeate your consciousness without requiring your full attention.

You will find the praise becoming integrated within the energy of your home and your life in this way.

I have found this a very powerful way to influence your thoughts and your feelings in a subtle positive way.

Focusing upon the bounty and the blessings you have received will stimulate an expression of joy.

The more you praise and celebrate your life,
the more there is in life to celebrate.
– Oprah Winfrey

Praise and the Law of Attraction

Praise is also a powerful way to activate the dynamic Law of Attraction in a way that both honors and affirms the source of the good we have received in the world.

It is not insignificant that the gratitude expressed in songs of praise also ignites the Law of Attraction in a way that is asks nothing more but delights and enjoys the bounty and blessings that have already been bestowed on you. It is an expression of both our gratitude and our faith.

It is fine well and good to praise God and raise your voice in thanksgiving and praise in a church service.

However, when you bring that expression of joy into your daily devotions, into your home, and then incorporate it into the simple activities of your daily life as a backdrop, it takes on a different energy. It becomes integrated into the experience and expression of your gratitude.

Ultimately, you attract more of what you are expressing.

Integrate Praise In Your Exercise

Praise can also be incorporated into physical exercise such as walking or running, much like meditation.

Check out my awareness guided meditations for

Walking Aware:
Celebrate and Appreciate Your Unity With Life On All Levels

and

Jogging In The Sun:
Celebrate the Strength of Your Body While Aligning to Your Higher Self.

Praise can spontaneously align your body, your mind and your emotions with the powerful loving presence of your Soul.

It can bring you into a greater awareness of your relationship with all that is around you and with that awareness, you become more receptive to the oneness of life and the true meaning of love.

Dual Awareness

An amazing aspect of consciousness is that you can be concurrently aware of your body, your thoughts, your emotions and the expression and sense of your Higher Self.

This multifunctioning aspect of the self can enable you to let any or every activity in your life become a meditative expression to empower and enhance your life.

This principle of dual awareness enhancing your consciousness is inherent in each of my Meditations For Daily Joy activity based awareness guided meditations.

The Spiritual Side of Praise

Using praise as a way to enhance and expand your spiritual awareness uses these same principles.

You are by your nature as a human being multifaceted and multidimensional. That is a part of the miracle of your being that can be experienced and expressed in a myriad of ways.

It is the benefit of experiencing the power of this alignment to which the vast array of spiritual devotional techniques strive.

As many roads can lead to the same destination, so there are many ways to come into a greater integration of your body, mind, emotions and your Soul, each of which ultimately brings you into greater relationship with the Divine.

There are so many possibilities and paths to the Light that you can experiment and explore a variety of ways to expand your consciousness and awareness.

Thankfully, there is no wrong way to open your Self to the Divine. This journey from the darkness into the Light and from the unreal to the real is directed by a Higher Power.

Life is a glorious adventure of being and becoming. Celebrate, with gladness and praise and enjoy the journey. It is your life.
– Genevieve Gerard

I invite you to enter with a spirit of joyful playfulness and delight into ever increasing, growing and expanding, enlightened awareness of the full magnificence and glory of praise and gratitude in your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Using Meditation to Unite You With Your Soul

Genevieve Gerard

Using Meditation to Unite You With Your Soul

Perhaps the most incredible and inspiring experience you can have in meditation is to connect with your Soul.

When you connect with your Soul, also known as your Higher Self, you become aware of a part of yourself that is so glorious and magnificent that just experiencing it is often healing, transformational and profound. To me, it is the greatest gift of meditation.

An important factor in any meditation is how the regular practice of meditation actually makes it increasingly easier to meditate. It is more than the old adage, “practice makes perfect.”

Each time that you consciously and with intention connect to your Higher Self (your Soul), you are reinforcing and building a pathway to ease your passage. In the Ageless Wisdom, this is often called the rainbow bridge.

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
– Michael Jackson

Whenever you call upon the Light of your Soul for inspiration or guidance you are building a bridge in consciousness from your personality to your Soul, your Higher Self.

You are connecting to and making the wisdom of your Soul available to you. This enables you to expand your awareness and perspective to a much greater understanding of who and what you are and a much deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of your life. This pathway in consciousness strengthens with each journey you take along that path.

When you meditate regularly and invoke and invite the presence of your Soul to be an active and incorporated part of your life, you are expanding your world to have a greater scope than you may have believed possible.

The nature and essence of your Soul is love, so increasing and inviting Soul connection into your life expands your experience of love and increases your ability to love.

Amazingly, this Soul communication can also be experienced by your conscious mind, as a healing power in your physical body and as a sense of emotional peace and calm.

This is one of the most profound benefits of calling on your Soul in meditation. Awareness of the connection and interconnection of all of life, and especially a sense of oneness, with others and nature, is a frequent result. This expanded awareness is often accompanied by feelings of unity and purpose. It often fills you with a very deep joy.

To enjoy bliss and happiness in your life
(after you have read this article,) check out my
>>>Bliss is Perfect Happiness Video Meditation.

Each time you meditate, I recommend that you focus your attention on aligning your whole being and all of your energies. As you do that with intention, you are consciously creating an energetic pathway to integrate your physical body, with your emotional body and your mental body with your personality; and then, raise that energy connection to you Higher Self, your Soul.

This energetic pathway forms etheric substance that is known as the Antahkarana in the Ageless Wisdom. This is known as the Rainbow Bridge and the conscious building and reinforcing of that pathway through meditation, especially through daily meditation, eventually provides support in the meditation experience and allows more conscious awareness of the presence of your Soul.

This formation of energetic substance to empower and support you in your meditative endeavors is significant in understanding why it is easier to meditate daily than at random times in your life. This is a part of the secret and science of meditation. Ponder on this!

The regular endeavor (I recommend daily) of meditation is more than just forming a habit. It is building a support system to enhance the power and breadth of the integration of your Soul within your life.

This is ultimately one of the main benefits of meditation. It allows you to increase the integration of your Higher Self with your personality, body, mind and Soul. This integration enhances your success and improves your overall wellbeing. Meditation, partially because of the creation of the etheric connection of the Higher Self with your personality, then becomes a valuable tool to help you overcome many of life’s challenges.

Every time you meditate, especially when you do it consciously and with an intention to connect with your Higher Self, you are reinforcing and strengthening this connection.

This supportive pathway in your consciousness is particularly useful in helping you transcend, transmute, and transform the tyranny that fear, anger, and emotion can exert over your life.

Fear is perhaps the most limiting and confining challenge in life. Yet, this principle of building the energetic rainbow bridge is the explanation why techniques such as my “Feeling Free” or “I Am Feeling Free” meditations are so effective.

Imagine if your anger were able to dissolve spontaneously upon expression.

Through the practice of meditation, especially a meditation with the intention to connect with your Soul, you can direct the Light of the Soul to the challenges of your physical desires and needs. You can clear your emotional body with that Light and thus bringing healing. You can receive insights and enlightened awareness in your mind that can be incorporated into a deeper understanding of life.

The full nature of the glory and power of your Soul is vast. Your conscious mind is limited and most likely only perceives but a glimmer of its true nature, and yet that glimmer begins the pathway in consciousness to a thread of awareness that builds and grows.

Through the ongoing and regular practice of meditation, your personality becomes increasingly integrated with the wholeness of your being and is swayed less by your physical or emotional desires.

Meditation, especially when used to expand your awareness and understanding of your Soul, can be even more significant than the health benefits of being calm or centered. It is an adventure in consciousness and a quest for freedom. It provides a portal to a profound and powerful peace and a resounding joy that impacts everything in your life.

Meditation is a tool that can be used to address most life challenges and situations. I have used it in this way in my life and for the benefit of those I have coached and counseled over the years. By using meditation to connect with the wisdom, love, grace, and forgiveness of your Soul there is no dark corner in your life that cannot benefit from shinning the Light of your Soul on it. This is the underlying principle in every guided meditation I have created.

It is no surprise that my answer when presented with a problem in my life, or in the life of others, is “I have a meditation for that.”

Meditation can empower and enhance your life. It is something that you can use wherever you are, with whatever time you have available. Although it is enhanced by a regular practice and discipline, it can benefit your life each time that you do it. Ultimately, there is no wrong way to meditate.

Using a guided meditation is often easier, and there are many available by me or a myriad of other teachers. You can experiment and try different experiences. You can learn from these and create your own meditations. Trust your innate wisdom to direct you to what works for you.

Like a path frequently traveled becomes clear and well-marked in the forest, so too does the path to your Soul become more clearly marked in your consciousness.
– Genevieve Gerard

I have found in a life marked by many years of meditation that it becomes so reinforcing that I could not imagine not meditating. In my life, it has become the source for so much of my strength and so much of my joy that I am compelled to share and offer it to you.

I invite you to use meditation to unite with your Soul and experience true joy and insight daily.

Namaste,

Genevieve
