Be One with the Body of Christ

Be One With the Body of Christ

Read "Be One With The Body of Christ" by Genevieve Gerard

There is in the Christian faith a concept that holds within in it such great mystery and such great power that it bears some deep pondering and consideration.

It is a thought we can only hope to comprehend with our hearts and minds open as we touch our Souls.

As you open to the presence of your Soul, enter into the essence of Spirit where you are beyond the limitations of matter.

Join in the mystical union with the Christ to support and add your efforts to His mission and work in the world.

This is a concept of what it means to “be One with the body of the Christ” that I have often pondered. I would like to share my thoughts and understandings on this today.

All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it.
            – Bible ESV 1 Corinthians 12:27

To enter into the awareness of your Soul is a mystical experience. It is through this expanded awareness that you can consider what it means to be a part of the body of Christ (beyond the Church as the body of Christ.)

This is truly a mystery and you must open yourself to this mystical experience to appreciate the full depth and scope of what that phrase means.

I have read in the course of my years of studying and pondering spiritual questions, the Body of Christ phrase used to describe the Church or the community of faith. However, that seems too limiting when I consider the full glory and power of the presence of the Christ. The Christ as the Risen Lord whose resurrection Easter celebrates is a living and vital force in the world today.

George Weigel, in an article on Easter and the Cosmic Christ believes, “that Christ’s transformed body is also the place where men enter into communion with God and with one another and are, therefore, able to live definitively in the fullness of indestructible life.”

I believe you can by your love, and with your life, support His work in the world. You can help bring into the world the meaning of the words affirmed around the world as the mystery of faith on Easter morning. Christ has died, Christ has risen, and Christ will come again.

Indeed, Christ coming again joins with the prophesies and promises of all religions across the world.

In the explorations of the Ageless Wisdom is expressed a concept of the Christ as The Word Soul and as we join with His Light, His Love and more importantly His purpose as World Savior, that concept expands.

In meditation when we join symbolically with the Christ, by invocation into the exalted energies of the heart of the Christ, we are opening our heart, mind, and Soul to a mystical and almost magical unity with the body and mission of the Christ in the world today.

In the exalted moments of prayer or meditation that you can reach His Divine Presence, you realize He calls you to a life of service. This calling to active service was revealed by Jesus in the parable of Judgment Day. Matthew 24:40. To realize that and consider that each time that you serve your fellow man, the good that you do is being done for the Christ (or even to the Christ) really expands this concept of the body of Christ. In my lifelong ponderings, this seems to speak to my heart, my mind and my very Soul.

This call to service includes all of humanity as a part of the brotherhood with Christ, a brotherhood that he calls “even the least of these my brethren.” To consider all (wo)men united in a brotherhood of man seems to give a hint to what it means to be an active disciple of Christ, of mystically joined as a working and living demonstration of His love and compassion in the world.

For you to join in the body of the Christ as a part of His work and mission in the world, seeing the Christ in the face of all of your fellow man, and serving the Christ every time you serve your fellow man may be a broad reach. It is what motivated Mother Theresa when she went into the hell holes of Calcutta. It is a level of work and service that seems beyond what you are capable of doing except as you enter into this mystical union of the body of Christ. That empowers you to achieve and dare acts of love, compassion, and service beyond what you would otherwise consider or dare.

In my own life, to give me the strength to provide the love and the service that the world so desperately needs, I often use this Affirmation:

The Love of the Christ flows through me. Alone, I am nothing.
            – Genevieve Gerard

In the writings of the Ageless Wisdom, we are told that the work and mission of the Christ is a unifying of His followers on a planetary level, that have now 2000 years after He walked with us on the earth expanded to a worldwide work and service that is known as The New Group of World Servers. These are the men and woman of goodwill who are energetically united to serve their fellow man acting as if in each act of service they are serving the Christ.

This fellowship of planetary service is united energetically under the direction of the Christ. It is a group of Souls of many religions and paths unified in the love and dedication to the love of the Christ and creating on the earth the conditions that Christ can come again. These mystical unions of Souls most probably have never met, but their commitment to serving the Christ as they serve their fellow man joins them as the material representations of the body of Christ in the world.

These men and woman of Goodwill are comprised of every religion. They answer to the promptings of the Christ through the connection and direction of their Souls. The limitations of doctrine and dogma fade as this call to planetary service guided by the Law of Love comes ever more into manifestation.

This service, this mystical connection throughout the world, seems to be how you (and I) can best join efforts in the mystical union of the Body of Christ at work in the world.

A profound and powerful way that you could join this holy effort is by combining your efforts with others across the planet every evening at 5 p.m., whenever it is 5 p.m. where you are in the world by saying:

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers:

May the Power of the One Life
pour through the group of all true servers;

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

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

The “Power of the One Life” is a reference to the Christ.

In energetically joining with this world mission, and this world service, you are energetically expanding your life and the reach of your service.

To further enhance and support your mystical union with the Body of Christ I offer you a Mantra, I created for my own use in meditation, which I call, The Love of the Christ Mantra.

Love of the Christ Mantra

 

May the Love of the Christ enfold me

 

May the Light of the Christ surround me

 

May the Wisdom of the Christ guide me

 

May the Energy of the Christ sustain me

 

That I may go forth to serve my fellow man

 

Giving the Love of the Christ to comfort them

 

Giving the Light of the Christ to guide them

 

Giving the Wisdom of the Christ of to enlighten them

 

Giving the energy of the Christ to fill them

            – Genevieve Gerard © 2011-2018

Christ is mystical and he addresses a deep esoteric principle that is a part of the mystery of faith. Thankfully, you do not have to understand this with your mind to experience it in your Heart and Soul.

Being One with the body of Christ is done as a Soul. Your connection with the others with whom you join through the community of faith is accomplished Soul to Soul.

Miraculously, by the simple act of joining your energy with the Christ and the community of all who serve Him in the world, through your invitation and intention, you can consciously experience this Love and Light through your own Soul. Remember, consciously striving to be One with the body of the Christ is enhanced when you join with others.

The promise that whenever two or more gather in His name He is with you, is a profound and powerful truth that can be used to enhance this experience.

Now is the dynamic and fertile time to open your heart, your mind and your Soul to this mystical union of Oneness.

Here is a prayer I wrote that may support you in this effort:

Beloved Lord Prayer

Beloved Lord

I come to you today with an open heart and an open mind to offer up my Soul to you. Please hold me in your radiant heart.

I offer myself up to be One with you in the mystical union of Souls that makes up your body in this world as an active service to you.

I put away any of my fears or concerns about my worthiness, relying on your grace and forgiveness to guide me and support me as I strive to serve you more completely.

As I receive the blessing of your Love freely, I commit to giving freely of my Love. This I do with intention and a commitment to serve others in your name.

I invite you to work with me in the world. Guide my words as I strive to help and comfort others. Direct my steps to take me where you need me to be. Let me be a source for your forgiveness and your grace whenever I discover those who need your healing touch.

I praise you and give thanks for this miracle of faith that I may be One with you for your glory and work in this world.

Amen

So be it and it is so.

I pray that these words, tools, and techniques will support and sustain you in your journey and your faith. Our Oneness, our Brotherhood, and our Soul connection is available to you across the limitations of space, in the dynamic essence of the Eternal Now.

Namaste,

 

Genevieve

Pray To The Divine Mother For Healing

Pray to the Divine Mother for Healing

Read "Pray to the Divine Mother For Healing" article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Healing.

Today I am going to talk to you about connecting to the healing power and amazing love and grace of the Divine Mother.

The energy of the Divine Mother is archetypical and available to you when you bring the presence of the Divine Mother into your consciousness. As an integral part of the Trinity (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) her power and her presence is available to you through your invocation at your invitation.

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

The Threefold Flame

There is a light that shines beyond all things on Earth, beyond us all, beyond the heaven, beyond the highest, the very highest heavens.

This is the light that shines in our heart.
      – Chandogya Upanishad

The Divine Mother is associated with unconditional love, forgiveness, and grace and can be an active and powerful presence in your life. Many say she is more accessible in prayer and petition than the Father aspect of the Trinity. Countless across the world pray to Mary to intercede on their behalf with Jesus, the Son aspect of the Trinity.

Because Mary, the Mother of Jesus, has over the past two thousand years been the recipient of prayers and petitions to the Divine Mother, these energies have merged largely.

Yet, the Divine Mother as an eternal part of the Trinity remains distinct, as she is the eternal expression of the Divine Feminine, also known as the Mother of the World. This has been evident since the dawn of time.

In the patriarchal emphasis of church leaders in the past 2000 years it is through Mary, the Mother of Jesus, that humankind has reached the great love, profound forgiveness and vast unconditional love that is the essence of the Divine Mother.

When you consider and ponder on the prayer of the words of the Hail Mary prayed by faithful Catholics around the globe, you will see the powerful and profound way in which Mary, Mother of Jesus, has served as a representative of the Divine Mother to provide comfort, grace, and forgiveness.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee;
blessed art thou amongst women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.

Amen

This powerful prayer invokes the presence of the Divine Mother who is known by many names, including the Divine Feminine.

As with all aspects of Divinity, the limitations we as human beings ascribe with names does not limit the power with which the Divine responds to our invocation and petition.

God, in the full power and glory of the Trinity, is available to you and to all human beings as a dynamic living part of the covenant that exists between God and mankind. This is a deep mystery and a profound truth.

When you call upon God, as the Father, as the Son, as the Holy Spirit or as the Divine Mother, God responds, undeterred and unrestricted by what words you choose in your petition.

God is not limited by our understanding of the nature of Divinity.
      – Genevieve Gerard

What I have come to understand about our human experience is that much of this is unknown to us and all of our feeble attempts, including mine, may fall short of the glory and majesty of what is real.

It is for this reason that I frequently, in my own meditations, say the Mantra:

May the Divine Self inspire me
and the Light of the Soul direct.

 

May I be led from the darkness into Light,
from the unreal to the real,
from death to immortality.
      – Mantram of Unity by Alice Bailey

To give you a glimpse and insight into the powerful presence of the Divine Feminine today, I have written an invocation to help bring the Divine Mother into your prayer or meditative experience in a way that will stimulate your conscious experience of the presence.

I invite you to experience this invocation, although it may be more a prayer than a traditional meditation, with an open mind and an open heart, dropping judgement and criticism and calling upon your own inner sense of truth and knowing.

This, like all meditations, is what is revealed from the promptings of your heart and the wisdom of your Soul. I make no claims that my thoughts and ponderings are the truth, but bring to you the opportunity to receive whatever experience is right for you to ponder and find your own sense of rightness and truth.

All I ask is that you say this invocation with the intention to bring the power and presence of the Divine Feminine (the Divine Mother) into your conscious awareness, your heart and your mind.

She will respond to that intention and invitation and provide you what you need from this experience.

A Prayerful Invocation
to the Divine Mother for Healing

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

Begin by taking in a very deep and relaxing breath.

As you breathe in, open your whole being to being receptive to the love, grace and healing presence of the Divine Mother.

With your next deep breath, consciously open your heart and make it receptive to Love.

With your next breath, consciously open your mind and make it open to insight.

With your next breath invoke and invite the presence of your Soul, which you could imagine as a radiant golden point of Light about 3-to-6 feet above your head.

As you breathe in a full breath, invoke and invite the healing power and the healing Presence of the Divine Mother into your life.

Know that invocation and invitation open a portal for you to receive the blessings and grace of Her Divine Presence.

As you exhale at the conclusion of the breath cycle, release from your mind and your heart any pain or sorrows you may have experienced from lack of mother-love or nurturing in your life. Let any sorrow, sense of lack or loss be healed in her awe-inspiring love and grace. Let her power heal you, relieve you, support and sustain you.

With one more deep, relaxing and satisfying breath, open your Soul Light to receive the tremendous power and grace of the Divine Mother, the omnipresent flow of Divine Love through Her from the Source of Universal Love, the transcendent essence of unconditional love.

Let Her Love fill your heart to overflowing. Let Her Love and Grace enfold you.

As you connect with Her Presence, place your needs for healing before her by invoking:

Divine Mother, Source of Divine Love and dispenser of the healing power of Grace, I place in Your gentle care my need for healing. In this life, many of my needs for the Unconditional Love and Grace that You bring into the world have been unmet and unfulfilled.

I now ask You to fill my heart with Your transcending and transforming Love. I now ask You to heal my life that I may attract Love and give Love freely.

The failures of my earthly mother may have left wounds and burdens that trouble my heart and may have created limitations and misunderstandings of the meaning, purpose, and power of Love in my life.

I ask that your Love erases and heal all hurts. Understanding that my mother’s failures may have come from her own lack of love in her life, I now forgive her as a demonstration of the unconditional aspect of Love that Your Presence demonstrates to me.

Make me an instrument of Your Grace. Help me to demonstrate in my life what it truly is to Love unconditionally, without attachment or expectations.

Before You Holy Mother, I place all of my needs for Your unconditional Love. Within Your loving embrace and imbued with Your transcending grace, I ask forgiveness for any and all of the times in my life that I have failed to Love.

Assured of Your forgiveness I am able to be at peace. Embraced by Your Grace I am strengthened.

The unconditional Love that Your Love demonstrates to me serves as a guide in my life for how to Love others. Your Grace and Your forgiveness demonstrate to me how to be compassionate and forgiving.

I affirm my desire to be an instrument of grace and love to others in the world.

Now, I open my heart, my mind, and my Soul to receive Your Divine Love to support and sustain me for the rest of my days.

As I accept and receive this amazing blessing, all wounds and damage created by a lack of Love or a misunderstanding of Love are offered up for Your healing power in Your healing Presence.

My life is transformed and healed by your goodness and grace.

As Your Love fills me, filling in every crevasse of lack or loneliness; I extend the power of Your unconditional Love and transcending Grace out to all who touch my life.

I open myself to the Divine Love that flows through You and invite and invoke that flow to be an omnipresent force in my life that I can demonstrate and share.

As I am One with You, my heart is filled to overflowing with Love.

I now sit quietly, calmly and receptively open to the healing power and presence of my Soul as I let my heart be filled. I rejoice and give thanks for the amazing blessing I have received.

Pause

I now sit quietly, calmly and receptively with my mind open to wisdom and insight about love that I may see and experience the truth. As I am freed from attachment and illusion, I am freed to really Love.

Pause

Any lack of Love that I have suffered in the past, any shortage of Grace I have ever experienced is now healed and removed from me with Your healing Presence in this meditation.

I know that Your Healing is complete and Your Grace is sufficient for all of my needs. I give thanks that this great blessing that I have received today is available to me at any time of my need when I come to You in prayer or meditation.

I ask that I may now be a beacon of Love in the world and a demonstration of Your endless ability to forgive and that I become a source for Grace and Compassion to all who touch my life.

This I offer in gratitude for Your Healing Power and Your Healing Presence in my life.

This Love and this great blessing are mine without limit. Each time that I share Your Love with others I am holding open the door of Divine Love for the ongoing blessing and nurturing in my own life.

Each time I offer forgiveness and compassion, I am holding open the door to the Grace and Forgiveness You make available to me.

It is by giving I receive and it is by grace I am healed, so that my life is ever filled with the joy of loving, and of being loved.

Pause

No sorrow can stand or wound can fester in the Healing Power of Your Divine Love once You have been called forth.

Let me be an instrument to focus Your healing power to those I encounter in need of Your Divine Love and Grace that You have granted me. This is a service I offer to You, and to the world in gratitude.

In gratitude and appreciation of the healing I have received, I vow to be a source of Love in the world that I can move forward in my life, free from past sorrows, filled to overflowing with Your omnipresent Love, Your limitless Compassion and Your gentle Goodness and Mercy.

 

Now take a few minutes to ponder on this great blessing and go forth to love and live and serve humanity.

The blessing of Love on all that you do!

Namaste,

   Genevieve Gerard

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

Heart Nebula in Space with text Love Never Ends

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Each of us has within us a sense of what is true, what is real.

It comes from deep within and no amount of teaching or preaching can ever really dislodge that – deep inner voice.

It may be a truth you have rarely thought of. On the other hand, it may well be an expression of the wisdom of your higher Self or Soul.

It is an acceptance of what you simply know.

How do you know, that you know, what you know?
      – The epistemological question

After a lifetime of trying to explain and justify some truths that I just know to be true, I have concluded that these truths are preconscious and archetypal and form an underpinning for all of our awareness and all of our knowledge.

These truths resonate to the very depth of your being, spring forth as a comfort and assurance from your Soul, and give credence to the expression “the truth shall set you free.”

It is interesting that when these truths are expressed to you, they resonate and somehow, almost mystically, you know them to be true. There is an inner recognition that says “yes, that is true.”

When a concept has been revealed to me that has that “ring of truth” to it, I realize that it seems to be something I have always known, even if I didn’t have the words to express it, or had never realized it before consciously. Perhaps I had thought it, or even acted upon it, but never put it into words.

I have learned over the experiences of a lifetime to trust that inner wisdom, that clarion ring of truth without exception. It has never led me astray. I invite you to use that test for all that I teach and write and encourage you to keep an open mind and heart, but disregard anything, if you like, that fails that test of inner knowing or truth.

I invite you to enter into that inner seat of wisdom where you recognize and know the truth. I encourage you to apply that standard to all teachings you come in contact with.

What is so profound and powerful about reaching that true point of knowing is that it is very freeing, giving understanding to the words, “the truth shall set you free.” From that center, in the core of your being, you can see clearly and old illusions and glamour’s fall away.

I believe this recognition of truth is even more profound than a statement of faith, for when your faith is enfolded in the armor of knowing, it expands.

One of The Forgotten Ways to Find A Core of Truth

I am writing to you today because it seems to me one of the forgotten ways to find that core of truth is in the phrase “Love Never Ends.” This truth seems to resonate with most people, even if it is not understood logically.

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

This is not a new idea. St. Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians, in his now famous definition of love, writes in 1 Corinthians 13:8 (ESV) “Love never ends;” he goes on to list a number of things that will pass away that are esteemed, and goes on to advise in 1 Corinthians 14 to, “make love your aim.” Why? Because he knew and understood the real truth, that love is eternal.

Love is born on the wings of the Soul and
serves as an energetic bond between Souls throughout time.
      – Genevieve Gerard

Love is not composed of matter but rather is energy. As such, it is not limited by that which is made of matter, such as the body of the one who first stimulated the blossoming of love. Although the body is temporal, the love lives on.

When you love, in the full assurance of the eternal nature of love, you are free to love unconditionally. You are granted a perspective to forgive the ones you love, which is its own healing and freeing action. The comfort and strength that awareness of the eternal nature of love gives is amazing.

I believe Love comes into being through a Soul connection. Your Soul, and the Souls of your loved ones, are the eternal part of your being. This has a profound impact on empowering your love with the Divine Love that “bears all things, believes all things, and endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:7.

Recognition of the truth that love never ends, frees you to love without confusing love with attachment or need. It sets you free in your love relationships to shed your fears of losing your loved ones. That, in turn, releases you from the worries that may, all too often, consume your thoughts about those you love.

Everlasting Love Meditative Moment

Begin by sitting quietly and calmly, bringing your emotions to a place of deep and profound peace.

Quiet your mind and let the chatter fade away as you drop self-judgment and self-criticism.

Assert your intention to have the wisdom of your Soul revealed to you in a way that is clear and provides insight and direction in your life.

As you do this, take the time to open your heart energy and be receptive to the Love that your Soul brings to you.

To do this you can visualize your Soul as a radiating point of golden Light about three feet above your head at the tips of your fingers if you raise your hands above your head.

Invite the Light of your Soul to provide clarity, insight, and truth. As you invite your Soul into your life as a source of love, wisdom, and guidance, it is also important to understand that you Soul is an integral part of the wholeness of your being.

From that point of radiating Light visualize the gentle descent of Soul energy into the top of your head (crown chakra), illuminating your mind, infusing and enlightening you.

Now visualize the gentle descent of golden white Soul energy through the top of your head down into your heart, gently expanding your heart, infusing and enlightening you with Love.

As this energy circulates from your Soul down your chakras to your heart and back up again, be open and receptive to the expansion in your awareness and understanding that this focus can bring.

Let your heart be healed and your mind comforted. Open yourself to the love that is the nature and being of your Soul.

Ponder for a moment on those you have loved, whether still with you or not, whether in their body or not and open your heart, your mind and your Soul to the sweet depth and comprehension of what it means that “Love Never Ends.”

Open your life to the freedom to love unconditionally, that comes when you release love from need and expectations, and open your whole self to the beauty and blessing of loving, resting in the glory and fullness of the eternal bond of Love.

Take this moment to appreciate and enjoy the true joy of love that never ends. Let yourself heal from any sorrow or fears that may have previously limited your ability to love freely.

Know that, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”

Know that healing comes from this Divine eternal Love. This Divine Everlasting Love is your forgotten truth. Ponder on this!

 

Experience the amazing healing and freedom that comes when you open your heart, mind and Soul to the blessing and the realization that Love Never Ends.

I invite and encourage you to find this forgotten truth of everlasting love and let your heart be comforted and freed by the eternal nature of love.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Love Yourself First

Love Yourself First

Read "Love Yourself First" Super Serenity Sunday article by Genevieve Gerard

It is one of the great mysteries of life that in order to love others, it is essential to love yourself first.

I have often thought it was interesting that when Jesus, in his role of Rabbi and teacher, considered self-love as a basic element in life he taught that the most important law was to Love God with all of your heart, your mind and your Soul, and to love your neighbor as yourself.

What good is loving thy neighbor as thy self, if you don’t love thyself?
        – Donald L. Hicks

This famous teaching assumes as self-evident that you love yourself. Unfortunately, in my many years of counseling people and coaching them to live happier and more fulfilling lives, I observed that self-love is far from self-evident.

For many, the idea of loving yourself is challenging. It is not a basic part of self-evident consciousness as it may have been when Jesus walked the earth. It falls into the same category as forgiving yourself. For some reason many of us find it easier to give than to receive, loving yourself, forgiving yourself, being gentle and compassionate with yourself is something we need to learn.

Although this is logically counterintuitive it is a result of societal training and pressures that get confused as we strive to be and become what we are told that we should be. Unfortunately, this is most often seen in women who have been reinforced and rewarded by how self-effacing and self-sacrificing they can be.

Many lessons that are passed through the traditions from Mother to daughter do not consider or understand how harmful and damaging they can be. These are often subtle and specific but when accumulated, result in a message that is toxic and damaging. It is not that there is the intention to harm or limit the full expression of success and joy in the life being molded, but rather, parents are teaching what they were taught without the conscious awareness or consideration of the consequences and the impact of the cumulative effect of these life instructions.

The result is often a belief on the part of the child as they emerge into adult life that to love oneself, to nurture oneself and to let oneself receive, is in some way wrong. The wounding that this wrong teaching and wrong interpretation can result in is so pervasive and so deeply embedded in the myths and culture of our society that to break through to truth is often the most powerful transformation one can do to heal your life and embrace success.

To understand, release and reframe all of the subtle destructive messages that it is wrong to love ourselves and wrong to receive not only love but the vast array of blessings that are available for us is a profound journey that leads to joy, success, and empowerment.

One of the cornerstones of this transformation is learning to love yourself. Inherent in that concept is learning to receive and allowing yourself to receive. Loving yourself and opening yourself to receiving will change your life on so many levels and in so many ways that it may be beyond imagining. The success you can achieve, the joy and happiness you can experience will cascade through your life. As you dissolve the lies and illusions that keep you removed from the freedom of expressing you will enjoy being who you truly are.

Key Elements To Loving Yourself

There are inherent in this journey certain key elements and key experiences that have great significance and have the power to heal you on a very deep and profound level.

The first of these elements is to shed the illusion and reject the lies that you have been taught in favor of a realization of the truth. That truth is that you are an amazing being, a creature of love and joy and this is the natural expression of your being. In coming to the full realization of this truth, it is also an important step to forgive yourself for all the ways you have limited and denied your full power and potential to be all that you were meant to be and all that deep in your heart you knew you could be.

Along with the important act of self-forgiveness comes the act of forgiving those who perpetuated and propagated these untruths and wrong thinking. We can assume that they only taught what they believed or thought was right, handed down through generations. Illusion and lies become embedded in our society.

It takes courage to see the truth and let the truth free you. Forgiveness and even compassion for those who cling to wrong thinking, is a part of affirming and enhancing yourself in this new expression of life as someone who has learned to love themselves and opened themselves to the opportunity to be a being of love.

Forgiveness, both of yourself and those who taught and fostered mistakes and illusion unlocks grace and joy in your life. It is in these acts and affirmations of forgiveness that you begin to demonstrate what it means to not only love yourself but how that self-love results in love and compassion for others.

It is by loving yourself, and honoring yourself, that you manifest your true power and potential as a child of God.
        – Genevieve Gerard

You are an amazing being. You deserve to be loved, not only by yourself but also by others. You are a spark of Divine Light.

Here are some simple affirmations you can incorporate into your daily practice to allow this important principle of Self Love to manifest in your life. It is best if you can do these quick simple affirmations three times a day, perhaps in the morning as you do your morning rituals, once more during the day, then again as you cleanse and prepare yourself for sleep.

Love Affirmation

Look in the mirror and affirm the following:

  1. I Love myself
  2. I deserve to be loved exactly as I am
  3. I am worthy of being loved
  4. I give my love generously
  5. I accept the love of others appreciatively
  6. I delight in who I am becoming.
  7. I am a beautiful, successful, joy filled being
  8. I open myself to the love that surrounds me and gather it into my heart to support and strengthen me.

[NOTE: Some people prefer typing these affirmations on a small piece of paper that they stick on the upper corner of their bathroom mirror.]

Affirmations are a powerful tool to healing and transforming your life. When I have had my coaching clients add these affirmations to their life practice, their life begins to change, especially their relationships with others and themselves.

To come into the present, freed and unfettered by the past is opening your life to unlimited possibility. This is available to you through the healing power of your Soul and the enlightened embrace of your will as you affirm and accept that you have the power, the promise and the intention to love yourself and open yourself to the many joys and blessings that are available to you for the taking.

The timeless dance of giving and receiving, loving and being loved is before you. Celebrate and enjoy all that comes to you. Your Soul knows the real truth; your heart knows the truth.

Ponder on this. You deserve it.

To Love Yourself is one of the Greatest Gifts, begin right now to give that gift to yourself.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Angels Watching Over Me

Angels Watching Over Me

Open and Invite Your Angels To Watch Over You

“All night, all day, angels watching over me Dear Lord.”

So go the words of an old spiritual.

As I was meditating and pondering the message for this Serenity Sunday post, the words of this song filled me with a sense of joy and a feeling of being both loved and protected.

That there are angels watching over me, night and day was, and is, comforting and reassuring. Therefore, I decided to make this part of my ongoing series of articles about angels.

Angels are a dynamic and powerful Presence in the world. Just because their substance is not of the same essence as matter does not make them any less real. I believe Angels are real. What do you believe? Read on and maybe you will believe.

It is a tradition that since ancient times Angels have served as messengers of Divine Guidance. They reside on the same plane of energy as Devas and your Soul and are a manifestation of Divine Purpose, Divine Love, and Divine Will. They serve as a bridge between humanity and Divinity.

What I love is that Angelic messages can cross the veil to be understood by humankind in special situations. The protection of angels and the quiet guidance and prompting of angels can be felt in the stillness of your intuition or in insights that accompany the observation of life around you.

This tradition has been reaffirmed and enhanced through a series of Divination and daily guidance cards created by Doreen Virtue. Many use these beautiful cards to tune into angelic guidance by using the symbols on these cards.

To connect with your angels and effectively use angel cards you first must open your mind and your heart to the Presence of your own Soul and call upon the Presence of the angels and request their assistance. Any form of using cards to clarify your life, such as angel cards, or any other symbolic cards such as Tarot cards, are a way of connecting with your Higher Self and because of this, is within the control and influence of your Soul. This is important to understand and ponder on.

Make friends with the angels, who, though invisible, are always with you. Often invoke them, constantly praise them, and make good use of their help and assistance in all of your temporal and spiritual affairs.
        – Saint Francis de Sales

It is your Soul that has the insight and wisdom to guide you as you shuffle and move the cards around. Your Higher Self knows the meaning of the cards, with all of the significance of the placement of their symbols, and can provide insight and a greater understanding of dynamics and challenges you are facing in your life. I find it a wonderful way to clarify and understand more about your life.

The famous psychiatrist and psychotherapist Carl Jung explained this as it relates to all of the techniques and tools of divination. Jung believed that our journey of transformation, which he called individuation, is at the mystical heart of all religions. It is a journey to meet the Self and at the same time to meet the Divine.

Understanding the guidance potential, in terms of being available from my Soul, has always made sense to me. Jung included in his theory, I Ching, Tarot, Runes and although Angel cards are a newer manifestation of a portal into higher understanding I am sure that the principle is the same.

Divination as a way of trying to explain and understand the forces that are surrounding you in life, are as ancient and diverse as life itself. The method being used, when understood in this context, is less significant than the process of invoking, inviting and considering the guidance and the wisdom of your Higher Self, your Soul.

Somehow, the symbols, most of which are archetypal, make it easier to consider the suggestions. Symbols speak to both your intuitive mind and your logical mind.

It is interesting to observe that the desire for divine guidance goes back to very ancient times and throughout history ranging from as diverse ways as animal entrails, reading tea leaves or coffee grounds to more traditional forms such as the I Ching which includes the time of Confucius (551–479 BC) or the Tarot which is recorded as a method since the 14th century.

It seems the urge to seek guidance and clarification about what is happening in your life or what forces are shaping events, is part of human nature. However, it is significant to both understand and acknowledge that the very genesis of the word implies that the source of the guidance being sought is Divine. Thus, the intention and connection with your Soul, when seeking clarity and guidance, is what makes the insight most effective.

To open your self to the direction, the wisdom and the guidance of your Soul you need only to invite and invoke the Soul. Your Soul is an integral part of you and is available to your conscious mind when you turn your attention to it. You can do this consciously, when shuffling and manipulating the tools of any divination method, while thinking as clearly as you are able about what you wish to understand in your life.

The more clearly your question is framed, and as much as you can calm your mind and control your mind chatter and amorphous fears, the more clear and helpful the guidance will be. That makes your time with the divination tools a form of meditation and an impetus for aligning with and opening to the guidance and wisdom of your Soul. In meditation, the ability to calm your mind and be open to the promptings of your Soul is always desirable.

Let the desire for clarity and guidance be a stimulus for you in honing your skills. Any way you can gain mastery over what many have traditionally called the “monkey mind” and gain mastery over your fears, is of benefit to you. Learning to calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light can be a portal to the wisdom and guidance of your Higher Self.

Some use angel cards, tarot cards or even the I Ching as a way to be receptive and listen to the promptings of their Soul. What is most important is not the tool or technique you use to connect with and be receptive to the wisdom and guidance of your Soul, but that you make the time and open yourself to that dynamic and transforming connection.

Meditation, prayer, and journal writing are all valuable ways that you can invoke and invite the wisdom and Presence of your Soul.

Although Angel Cards are newer tools than the more ancient techniques, many have found them a way to be open to the presence and urging of Angels in your life. As the words of the old song imply (“All night, all day, angels watching over me Dear Lord.”) angels are always available and when called upon can be a protection and guiding light in your life.

To open to the guidance and wisdom of your Soul when using the tools or techniques of divination I suggest that you consciously affirm that the wisdom and insight you are seeking is from your Soul. Then, consciously invoke and invite your Soul’s presence to guide and direct you.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

 

You might find it helpful to visualize your Soul as a radiant light 3 to 6 feet above your head and imagine that from that point love, wisdom and guidance are stimulating your intuition and insight.

Then be quiet and receptive to the promptings of your Soul. Realize that the language used in this kind of communication may well be symbolic, so interpretation of the symbols is often where the art lies. Listening and opening to the prompting and guidance of your Soul and your angels can be very revealing.

Your Soul has always been, and will always be, an integral part of who and what you are. Your angels, particularly your guardian angel, but also varieties of angelic presences, are aligned with and supportive to you when you invoke and invite the invisible into your awareness.

To see an angel, you must see another’s soul.
To feel an angel, you must touch another’s heart.
To hear an angel you must listen to both.
        – Author Unknown

It may be a prompting or a flash of insight or intuition. It could be a clear understanding of events or circumstances that you did not understand before. Trust yourself. Trust your intuition and incorporate and consider the different perspectives you can now see and touch.

Life is much more varied and diverse than just what we experience through the 5 senses. Open your awareness to what you can feel and sense in the subtle energies that surround you. There is all around you mystery and delight that is beyond the knowledge of your physical awareness into the realm of subtle energies. These impact and influence your life and your world without your conscious understanding or acknowledgment.

Open yourself to be the fullness of the amazing miracle of what it means to be a human being. One who has a body, but is more than a body; which experiences emotions, but is so much more diverse than what your feel; who has a mind whose thoughts have the powerful energy to join with creation as a co-creator. By opening to the realm of the Soul and the world of angels, you are able to experience a reality that incorporates so much more.

Expand your mind, open your heart and invite into your awareness the world of light that the darkness obscures. It is real. From this comes a greater expansion of what life can be. It is available for you, to you, when you open your awareness.

Be an angel to someone else whenever you can,
as a way of thanking God
for the help your angel has given you.
        – Eileen Elias Freeman

Open your awareness to the Presence of your Soul and the Presence of Angels all around you. Life is richer and more profound than the world experienced only through the 5 senses.

Namaste,

Genevieve

When You Want To Heal Someone

When You Want to Heal Someone

When You Want To Heal Someone - Serenity Sunday article by Genevieve Gerard

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

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned healer when you want to give healing Light and provide energetic healing there are some important things to keep in mind.

These healing (literally meaning to make whole) guiding principles can increase the effectiveness of energetic healing and protect both you and the one you are striving to heal.

However, there are some ways that you can make sure that in your desire to provide healing you avoid unintended consequences and assure that right action is the result.  These are some of the important understandings that can guide your efforts.  They also can serve as a protection for the one to whom you are giving or sending Healing Light.

You need to remember that healing is a complex process that involves many factors.  Many of the factors and the dynamics that have resulted in dis-ease may be unknown to you as the healer.  There may be a Higher Purpose to the dis-ease or an important life lesson that is being revealed to the person by the disease.

These reasons and purposes are usually not known to the conscious mind.  The reasons may be a result of karma or things the person facing the dis-ease needs to learn through the dis-ease or come to understand about their choices, their decisions or their behavior.

Healing, true healing, happens on multiple levels and may require layers of healing, physical, emotional and mental.

It helps if you understand, all healing is in the sole direction and authority of the Soul.  The Soul is the part of the spiritual anatomy that, in its role as the Divine spark within you, that gathers from Universal Source the atoms that become your body for you to be born.  There are a myriad of miracles and factors that influence this process.  There are universal laws that must be considered as a new life is formed for a new birth.  Your Soul remains integral and essential in all healing.   It plays a vital part in both allowing the dis-ease and healing the disease.  It plays a vital role in bringing to you what you need to learn from every life situation.

Throughout your life adventure, your Soul remains a part of you.  Whether you are ever aware of it, or whether you connect with it as a source of unconditional love, guidance, and support (as I recommend.)  It is always with you from your first breath to your last, where it returns to the Creator.  It is an integral part of you.  It is a part of you as your life is being formed in the mind of God and it is the part of you that is eternal and returns when your life is through, to the heart of God.

It connects you to your Guardian Angel.  It functions unseen and unknown to help you learn and grow in this life’s adventure.  It is fundamental in any healing.  It is the force to which a healer provides energetic healing.  As a healer, you use your energy and your love to enhance and support the work and purpose of the Soul.  I believe any different direction of healing energy will miss the mark.

It is always the Soul that heals.  That is something to be grateful for because the Soul is never disconnected from Universal Source (God.)  The Soul is by its very nature both aware of and in complete alignment with Divine Will.  That is an important protection for the one you seek to heal.  The Soul being united with Divine Source in the process of creating the substance of your life remains as the force that directs and empowers what is good and right.

Not my will, but Thine be done.
        – Jesus

It also speaks to a very important factor for when you are engaging in energetic healing.  It is essential that at all times you remain aligned with Divine Will.  This can at times be difficult when you are providing healing to someone you love, but this alignment and surrender to Divine Will is an essential part of energetic healing.  To provide healing to another without the possibility of harm requires detachment.  This is why effective energetic healing is often incorporated into prayer in which the “healer” prays for healing.  I always use in any request for healing the protective phrase “within God’s will and for the highest good” I invoke the healing of… .

It is true that thoughts are energy and true that “energy follows thought” in every aspect of life, including energetic healing.  However, this ability to surrender to Divine Will is a core part of the responsibility of an energetic healer.  Although it is not always easy to consider or remember, death can be a part of the healing process.

If you have ever been with someone, who has lingered on the edge between life and death too long, you will understand this statement.  Life extended at all costs is not a blessing.  There is a reason they call death an Angel.  If you have ever sat with someone at the end of his or her physical life, you will start to understand what I mean.  Death can be a blessing and a transition to the next phase of life. Ponder on these thoughts.

As I write these words, I am reminded of the last line of the St. Francis prayer, “And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.”  It is all too easy to fall prey to the illusion that physical life is the only life.  As one who may provide energetic healing, it is important to consider the whole experience of life, physical, emotional, mental and spiritual or Soul life.

Whenever you are providing energetic healing, you need to be providing the healing essence from the power and wisdom of your own Soul (which comes from Source) to the Soul of the person you are intending to heal.  This Soul to Soul connection takes the healing process into the realm of miraculous and removes your personality and emotions from the process.

Miracles are a part of life.  A miracle is always possible.  As a healer your Soul, and your access to life energy can be used to help facilitate the process of healing.  However, it is only when the energy and intention are attuned and aligned with the Soul of the person you are striving to heal, and aligned with the Light and Love of your own Soul which provides access to the energy to fuel a miracle and the healing is in keeping with the highest good and Divine Will, that healing is right action.

Since you cannot know the highest good or the Divine purpose for every circumstance, the detachment and surrender aspect of energetic healing are of paramount importance.  For this reason, it may be most effective to pray while you are “laying on hands” for healing, or sending healing Light or Love across the miles.

An affirmation that may be helpful to say is:

I stand in spiritual being and, as a Soul, I serve.
I stand within the Light, and as the light shines throughout my form,
I radiate that light.
I stand within the love of God, and as that love streams through and from the heart, I magnetize the ones I seek to aid.
        – Discipleship in the New Age: Vol I, page 213, by Alice A. Bailey, Djwhal Khul

A powerful way that you can safely provide healing energy to someone in need of healing energy and healing Light is to first imagine the Light of your Soul as a radiating Light three to six feet above your head.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

Then visualize that golden Light descending into your field of energy (your aura) into the top of your head, down into your heart filling your heart with Love.  You may then wish to let that energy flow into and infuse your hands.

Then imagine the same Soul Light three to six feet above the head of the one you are endeavoring to heal and visualize the Light of their Soul descending into the top of their head and moving effortlessly to the place in their body and there being that needs healing Light.

To further empower your endeavor, imagine the Light from your Soul connected to their Soul and build into your mind’s eye a third point of Light to represent the Light of Divine Will.  You might also want to imagine that, as a pure white Light emanating from the heart of the Christ, or Source.  Let that healing Light flow freely along the pathway activating and empowering healing on all levels, physical, emotional and mental in surrender to ‘Right Action” and the Highest Good of All.  Visualize the other person in their perfected health.

This image of your Soul, sending forth healing Light and healing Love, to the Soul of the one who needs healing, supported and enhanced by Divine Will and Divine Love is the fuel for miracles.

This combination of intention and surrender to Divine Will is what spiritual or energetic healing is all about.

The final step in this is gratitude for the healing that has taken place.  Thanks for the blessing of the healing is an affirmation of faith and assurance that whether you see it or not, or understand it or not, what is right action for that person is taking place.  The expression of gratitude is also an affirmation of faith that the requested healing is moving forward and taking place.

Then go about your life in the deep awareness that you have given all that is needed and the healing Soul Light will continue to work in keeping with your intentions and purpose.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

What We Can Learn From A Childhood Prayer

What We Can Learn From a Childhood Prayer

Read What We Can Learn From a Childhood Prayer - Super Serenity Sunday article by Genevieve Gerard

The prayer that I am going to share with you is one that children have been taught to say before sleep for generations.

Importantly, there are deep meanings in these ritual words that should be pondered.

Although a short, simple prayer, it speaks to lessons and an understanding about life and relationship with a higher source.

This prayer was written over three hundred years ago and has endured the test of time.

So today, let us ponder and consider the deeper meaning of these words and what they teach about life and how they help you go to sleep in faith and with confidence.

Consider how this prayer with the faith and affirmation it provides, can help you surrender to sleep with assurance that you are safely held in the arms of love.

You have probably guessed by now what prayer I am talking about. It goes like this…

Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord my Soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my Soul to take.

Meaning of the Childhood Prayer

Now I lay me down to sleep.

Now is the time to transition to sleep.  It is the intention to leave the day behind and enter into the peace and the blessing of sleep.  Sleep is a time of rest and restoration for you.

In sleep the body heals, emotions are processed and the mind reinterprets and gives insight through the process of dreams.  It is a very valuable and potent time in which your conscious mind rests and re-evaluates the experiences of the day from a very different perspective.

The process of sleep and the dreams that come are a very important part of your human experience.  Although well studied, the ultimate purpose of sleep and all of the levels on which it takes place is not fully understood.

What we do know is that sleep is essential for good physical health, emotional health and mental health.  Sleep is an integral part of your life experience and so to enter into the state of being that is sleep, is important.  To use prayer as a transition from waking to sleep is a way to calm your mind and prepare for the part of living that is sleep.

I pray the Lord my Soul to keep.

This phrase is a very simple affirmation that you have a Soul and you are, as you enter from conscious (waking) thought into sleep, reminded that your Soul is your link with the Divine and in God’s keeping.

Although you may not think much about your Soul, it is an integral and essential part of your being.  This most important part of you, the eternal spark of you, is placed in the safety and love of God’s keeping.

If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take.

This phrase is a reminder and acknowledgement that you are an eternal being and that your Soul is the eternal part of you.

You are more than just a physical body, a mind and a personality; you are a miracle.  This understanding of the nature of life and death and the reality of eternity is a comfort as you are surrendering to sleep.

By the words “If I should die before I wake” you are addressing humankind’s deepest fear, the fear of death followed by the faith and reassurance that you are an eternal being when your say “I pray the Lord my Soul to take.”  This simple statement helps to release the illusion of death.  It speaks to a deep and eternal truth.  Life is eternal, you are an eternal being and your Soul forever rests within the love and grace of your Heavenly Father.

The Deeper Meaning of the Prayer

This simple prayer was for many of you, a nighttime ritual of childhood.  Rituals can be helpful and comforting in your adult life.  Recently I posted a Wisdom Wednesday blog to help people with sleep, in which the ritual of prayer before sleep was a recommended technique.

If you used the “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” prayer you probably also followed it with a list of those you asked God to bless.  This blessing of and praying for others is a powerful affirmation that God is in control of our life.  This makes the act of prayer an act of faith.

You may have repeated these words, as taught, without stopping to consider their meaning, their importance of what was being subtly said or affirmed.  You may have engaged in this nightly ritual without any consideration of what you were being taught about life, what you were being taught about God, or what you were being taught about your Soul.

Consider the very concept of using prayer as a way of connecting with God before you sleep.  Realize that once your conscious efforts of the day are over and you prepare to enter the peaceful healing state of sleep, you can turn everything over to God.  Your day is finished, your watch is concluded, you can now surrender control to God.  This opportunity to surrender to a Higher Power can be very comforting, allowing you to both relax and release the day.

This process of surrender is a way to let the day be past.  This putting that past into the past opens you to the unlimited potential of the next day.  It marks the line between what has been, what is now and what is emerging in the future.

Focusing upon your Soul, that Divine spark of your being that is for all eternity One with God can be both reassuring and inspiring.

Then, with the last line “If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take” you are stating and affirming that your Soul, that which is eternal in your being, is returned to God when your life has passed.  This is true whenever this life is finished.  This becomes a simple statement of faith and what is real and true that you know on a very deep and archetypal level.

These simple statements of faith, assurance and surrender offer powerful truths that can be asserted as you transition from waking to sleeping by engaging your relationship to God as we release the reins of the passing day by calmly transitioning from day into night.

In this simple childhood prayer, you have affirmed deep principles and eternal truths that can be a comfort to you.

As you lay down to sleep, you are now free to let your body rest and be restored.  There is nothing you need to think about anymore today.  You are safe.  You have given those in your care over to God with your blessing.  You have let the past go with the conclusion of the day.

You can now be at peace.  You are embraced and held within the eternal as you let yourself receive the restoration and strength that sleep brings.

You can safely enter from the consciousness of waking, in which you try to be in control of your life, into the state of sleep with its dreams.

The “Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep” childhood prayer offers several significant affirmations of truth and faith and provides comfort and reassurance that you are an eternal being for whom life, sleep and even death are simply transitions of consciousness.

This prayer is, although mysterious, an amazing blessing you can celebrate as life, a gift beyond measure, a gift with which you and your loved ones are blessed each day.

Amen

Namaste,

Genevieve

Love Is The Greatest Law

Love is the Greatest Law

Love is the Greatest Law - Serenity Sunday article by Genevieve Gerard

In every spiritual journey, there come questions about how to live your life that is best in keeping with living a conscious and Soul infused life. Of course, humanity has pondered these questions since the dawn of time.

There are in every religion guidelines and rules that were created to help in those decisions of what is right, what is good. These guidelines often direct what is expected in a variety of situations or circumstances.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

In fact, many religion’s Holy Books contain a myriad of rules and regulations, laws that must be followed or at least considered by those who wish to live a spiritual life. However, guiding your life by laws and rules does not guarantee that you do what is right.

Some of these Laws are timeless. Some of the Laws are archaic and seem irrelevant in modern times, needing interpretation even to be understandable. It may be easier to think that all that is required of you to live a spiritual life is to “follow the rules” however, there is a higher calling. That is to let Love be your guiding law.

Although it is helpful to have guidelines for your behavior, sometimes rules can become an obstacle to living a life that brings you into ever-increasing awareness and expression of your Soul. As I write this post and meditate upon what helps or hinders us as human beings, it seems that just following laws takes you away from what living a spiritual life is all about.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LAWS

When you consider these laws, I find it easiest if you divide laws into different types of laws.

Some laws are rules and guidelines for right human relationships, such as the 10 Commandments, a mix of guidance for what you should do and what you should not do.

There are also ancient laws from the Ageless Wisdom that direct you to live by principles, which are paramount, such as Harmlessness and Right Speech. These are not “Thou Shall or Thou Shalt Not” rules of conduct, but rather ways to lead your life for greater success to bring you into Right Relationship with others.

There are also in life and nature, Laws that govern life that cannot be changed or overruled. They always apply. They are impersonal but can be used to benefit your life when you understand them and grow in consciousness and live in harmony with these laws. A simple example of this would be the Law of Gravity, which can be harnessed to help you relax in meditation. It is always there. It is always true. You can count on it.

Similarly, some universal laws or principles can be harnessed for your benefit like The Law of Attraction or the principle that “Energy Follows Thought.” These can be life enhancing and life transforming but have much broader reach than just living your life by following rules. Understanding these laws can help empower your life.

Nevertheless, there is so much more than just following rules to living a joyful, happy and prosperous life. It is much easier to follow the rules and since you do not blatantly break the rules conclude that you think you have done all that you need to do. The rules, the laws, then take the place of you needing to be in right relationship with God, with your Soul, with your fellow man.

LOVE IS THE GREATEST LAW

These thoughts and considerations between the law and love are not new. St Thomas Aquinas wrote hundreds of years ago extolling the virtue of following, not a series of rules but Love as the guideline for right action and right relationships, between people and between you and God. His teachings have often been summarized into saying, “Love God and do as you please,” or in some translations, “Love God and do as you will.”

Certainly when Jesus was asked to clarify what was most important of the many laws that the Hebrews followed when he walked upon the earth he replied, “You should Love God with all your heart, your mind, and your Soul and you should love your neighbor as yourself.” I have always found this passage in the Bible most instructive for my life.

I have long strived in my spiritual journey to let Love be the guiding principle for how I live. To use Love as the determining factor in relationships with others and with my relationship with God seems a much clearer principle than a legalistic list of rules and laws. Jesus concluded, as St. Augustine later wrote, that Love was the most important guideline for your life, not Law.

To let love be the guide in your life and behavior is a higher standard. When St. Augustine wrote, “Love God and do as you will,” he concluded that if you truly loved God, what you do would honor and respect both God and others. This is also in line with many of the guidelines that are extolled in the Ageless Wisdom of Harmlessness and Right Speech as right action.

As Jesus taught, “God is Love.” When you express Love, you are aligning with the Love that God gives to you and the Love that is the nature of your Soul. It is Love that is the nature of your Soul and Love that is the basis of the “I-Thou” relationship with God that demonstrates the unconditional grace and forgiveness that so bless a spiritual life.

There are those who say that learning to Love is the whole purpose of living. What you learn when you truly love is one of the most valuable things in the universe. It is said that Love is the most powerful force in the universe and it “sets the spheres in motion.” Learning to Love, striving to Love, especially loving unconditionally gives you a truly extraordinary life.

When Love is considered as the way to conduct your life, many positive and significant factors fall into place. This is particularly the case in relationships with others and in what is experienced in your relationship with God and relationship with your Soul. Being in right relationship with God brings with it “The Peace that Passes Understanding.” Being in relationship with your Soul brings Love into your life for Love is the very nature of your Soul. Your Soul loves you completely, understands you completely and as it aligns with your personality, your mind, and your emotions bring to you a sense of well-being that is unique and powerful.

Joy is the spontaneous response to being in right relationship with your Soul. Being guided by Love, and the wisdom of your Soul opens your life to happiness and wonder.

Your Soul is the part of your spiritual anatomy, the spark of Divine Light that has created you, that is eternally One with the Divine. No matter what you do. No matter where you go. Whether you make major failures or mistakes in life or whether you are successful beyond your dreams, this unity of your Soul with God is unlimited by space or time. It is your birthright, and it is your essential nature. And Love is the nature of your Soul and the nature of God. THEY ARE INSEPARABLE.

This basic truth makes Love always the answer, no matter what the question. If you consider this, any ethical decisions you must make in life will be the right choice when you let Love be the guide. To demonstrate Love to others in light of what is truly loving is often a challenge. To make decisions in your life that demonstrate loving yourself is often a challenge. To extend that to showing your Love for God is an even higher standard. It is these considerations that are inherent in Jesus’s two great laws and St. Augustine’s moral shortcut of “Love God and do as you will.”

It is in the consideration of Love as the director of your behavior, that all the laws of any religion are fulfilled. To let Love guide you in your decisions can transform your relationships and can transform your life into a life of greater satisfaction and joy than you can imagine. So many aspects of what is so often frustrating in relationships disappear when you give Love and return Love.

Issues of forgiveness, compassion, and understanding fall naturally into place when Love is applied. If you love God with all of your heart and your Soul and you are loving to others and loving to yourself you are automatically living in agreement with the Ten Commandments, and the rules and codes of conduct created from ancient times into the present.

By doing this you honor the “Golden Rule.” Your actions follow the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom of harmlessness and right speech. Right action and right relationships are automatic when Love guides all that you do.

Let Love be your guide and it will fulfill all the laws.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is not passive. It is an active and dynamic force for good in the world. It is strong and supported by the Will to Good. To live Love, you are bringing peace and goodwill to the world. It starts a chain of events that makes the world a better place for all.

In today’s often violent and dangerous world, it is good to consider the strength of Love and the power of Goodwill and the “Will to Good.” Love is not weak, and it can stand up for and protect with power, but never hate or negativity. Learning how to live this aspect of Love is vital to a peaceful world. Helping others to not harm themselves or others is a part of loving intelligently with will and wisdom.

LOVE AFFIRMATION

Since “energy follows thought,” it may be helpful to say and use this affirmation when you consider how to relate with another.

“I Love You.”

 

By Loving You I wish for you
only what is good and beneficial to you.

 

In all that I am and all that I do with you
I strive to honor and respect who you are.

 

I know we are different people with different needs.

 

I love me and strive to honor and respect myself
doing what is good and beneficial for me,
physically, emotionally and mentally.

 

I Love God and in all that I am and all that I do
I strive to express and demonstrate that Love.

AS YOU USE THIS AFFIRMATION, CONSCIOUSLY CONNECT WITH YOUR SOUL.

Using this affirmation as a guide to determine how Love is best served in any situation in life will be empowering for you. Ponder on this!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Namaste Means

Namaste Means . . .

Namaste Means - Genevieve Gerard - Super Serenity Sunday Article

Namaste is an ancient Sanskrit blessing.

It is said that Sanskrit is the most ancient of languages.

Sanskrit has been called the Universal language, as the basic building block of all language is contained within Sanskrit. It was the language created to communicate with God. The Gayatri, which is known as the first and oldest prayer, was created in Sanskrit.

Simply, Namaste is derived from namas = salutation, bow + te = to you.

You might have noticed that I end all of my posts and meditations with this ancient blessing. Today I would like to share with you the profound and essential meaning of Namaste.

Namaste is both a greeting and a blessing. It is an acknowledgment of a deep truth about whom and what we are as human beings, especially in relationship to the Divine and with one another.

It is pronounced “Na ma stay” with the first two a’s like the first “a” in “America” and the ay as in “stay”, but with the “t” pronounced soft, with the area just behind the tip of the tongue pressing against the upper-front teeth with no air passing.

When you say Namaste to someone, you can press your two hands together, palms touching and fingers pointing upwards, thumbs close to your heart (or brow chakra) and bow your head gently as you face them.

Thus, it is both a spoken greeting and a gesture, a Mantra and a Mudra. The prayerful hand position is a Mudra called Anjali, from the root Anj, “to adorn, honor, celebrate or anoint.”

The hands held in union signify the oneness of our dual cosmos, the bringing together of spirit and matter, or the self meeting the Self. It has been said, that the right hand represents the higher nature or that which is divine in us, while the left hand represents the lower, worldly nature.

Great power is released when we greet one another with Namaste because using that greeting is an affirmation of an old mystical truth of our essential nature. Excavations for Indus civilization have revealed many male and female terracotta figures in Namaste posture. These archeological findings are dated between 3000 BC to 2000 BC.

Namaste is simply interpreted to mean, “The Divine spark in me recognizes and honors the Divine spark in you.” This is a powerful thought because it affirms that as human beings we are One with the Divine. In many cultures, the Namaste greeting is acknowledge by a bowing of the head and in some cultures even a bow.

I honor the place in you where Spirit lives
I honor the place in you which is
of Love, of Truth, of Light, of Peace,
when you are in that place in you,
and I am in that place in me,
then we are One.

It is good at times to transcend the habit and ritual of things to consider their actual meaning. I have often thought it is significant, that this bowing and ritual greeting is so widespread across cultures. This greeting speaks to your unity in the human experience as all being children of God who are endowed with the spark of Divine Light as an integral part of your being. It affirms your humanity and your Divinity as co-creators with God.

The reason why we do Namaste has a deeper spiritual significance. It recognizes the belief that the life force, the divinity, the Self or the God in me is the same in all. Acknowledging this oneness with the meeting of the palms, we honor the God in the person we meet.

In saying Namaste, we greet, honor and acknowledge that great truth. And, as we bow or greet another, we celebrate the unity in our human experience. The logical conclusion of the Namaste acknowledgment is in the awareness of the fellowship we share as the children of God. We are One Humanity.

As we acknowledge this essential brotherhood, compassion for our fellow man ignites in our hearts. We are united by this profound understanding of life. Our perspective can expand to consider how to relate to one another in light of this identification of the other, as a walking living breathing manifestation of God.

It makes all of humanity your brothers and sisters and makes every good and service that you can provide to them an act of service to God. It encourages the important principle of harmlessness as the guide to your actions and relationship.

Namaste is not a meaningless or simply a ritual greeting. It is the declaration of a great truth. When you treat others in a way that expresses and honors that truth, you have made a significant step toward right human relationship which includes right speech and right action.

These dynamic ways of interacting with our fellow man and women, of harmlessness, right speech, and right action can become a guidepost for all relationship behaviors. Relationships guided by these principles are in keeping with the Namaste greeting. The more you live by these principles, conscious, aware of your Divine spark, and the Divine Light within others, the more you create a world of peace and joy that allows fulfillment and success for everyone.

When you walk through your days, as your eyes meet others, greet them with a silent Namaste and at that moment offer the recognition and affirmation of the Divine spark within.
      – Genevieve Gerard

As you say Namaste to those you meet, you are also acknowledging and aligning with the Divine spark that is within you. You are confirming and asserting the truth that we are all Divine Light, beloved and blessed, as you bless and greet others.

This simple greeting and gesture is an affirmation and an invitation to great joy.

This little thought takes very little time, it happens as fast as “energy follows thought.” Doing this sets up the basis for more harmonious and satisfying relationships. You are in this way also serving as a beacon of Light in the world. You are sharing your Light and joining your Light in acknowledgment and community with others. You are blessing them and blessing yourself. Ponder on this!

You may also find that this greeting and affirmation will increase your personal sense of joy and wellbeing. Connecting with others through the conscious expression of the meaning of these ancient words will serve to increase your sense of unity that reminds you that you are not alone in the adventure and journey of living.

Giving a blessing, or greeting someone with the acknowledgment of Namaste, has an incredible impact on your day. I invite you to try this and observe how it influences your experiences.

To further support your understanding of the meaning of Namaste, I would like to share with you a YouTube video recently shared with me in response to my “Mystery of Eternity – Magic of the Soul,” article.

To watch this 4-minute video on YouTube directly click Namaste.

It was the sharing of this beautiful YouTube on Namaste, that prompted me to finally write and share with you my thoughts on the meaning of Namaste.

With my heartfelt appreciation, I bless and honor you and appreciate you as the Divine Light that you are from the depth of my Soul, the Divine Light and Divine Spark within me.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on All that You Do!

P.S. The word “Namaste” can also be used as a closing notation (without the accompanying prayerful hand and bowing head gestures) in written communications similar to “sincerely,” “best regards” or “love.”

Mystery of Eternity – Magic of the Soul

The Mystery of Eternity – The Magic of the Soul

Read The Mystery of Eternity - The Magic of the Soul by Genevieve Gerard

There is no deeper conflict in the human experience than the profound knowledge that you are, on some level of your very essence, an eternal being.

Contrast that with the stark confrontation that we all know that we will experience a physical death.

This conflict is the seat of most fear. It is often unexpressed, yet it colors and controls many life decisions.

What happens at death is unknowable and unknown. This mystery permeates the desire to understand the meaning of life. This division of your dual existence as a child of God and a Son of Man is one of the great insights of what it means to be a human being. It is integral to the miracle of life. For you, accepting this duality may be an act of faith and as such requires no further understanding. For others, it is accepted as being unknowable and thus occupies very little thought or concern. Yet, whether with a conscious quest for understanding or a resignation that this is just an unsolvable dichotomy of life, this mystery can fuel a great deal of your experience of life.

It can come into a primary focus when in the human experience, we are faced with the death and loss of those we love. The pain of that loss may bring you to a longing for greater understanding.

Yet, what if I said that as you journey through your life there are a vast array of clues that reveal the deeper truth of this mystery? What if I said that the truth that you have always sensed and hoped and prayed was true?

What if you could finally understand how this mystery works and what it means in your relationships and decisions in life? Would that be of value to you? Would you be willing to take some time and make some effort to open your life to experience what is real and true?

Much of what I call the clues is subjective. You can experience the truth but not prove it scientifically. Although there is recent, from the field of quantum physics and noetic sciences, more validation that is scientific of what has been kept secret since the dawn of man. These secrets have been buried in the esoteric teachings of what is known as the Ageless Wisdom.

Questions about the eternal nature of life are dismissed as unknowable and relegated to being issues of faith. Yet, it seems as human beings we have the capacity to better understand the aspects of life that are revealed to us by the use of meditation as a bridge between the material world and the spiritual world. We can in the worlds of the ancient mantra, “be led from the darkness into Light, from the unreal to the real and from death to immortality.”

The Bible’s prolific writer St. Paul said in 1 Corinthians: 13 12, “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.”   It is interesting that this statement is a part of his inspired teaching about the real nature of love, for it is Love that reveals the most about what is true in life. It is love that most reveals the nature of eternity. Ponder on this.

On a deep almost preconscious level we know, not with our minds but deep in our hearts the truth of the words, love never ends.”
      – Quote by Genevieve Gerard

When you love someone, there is a bond of Love that is a connection of Souls. That makes Love a gateway to experiencing your Soul. The nature of your Soul is Love. It is your Soul that connects you with God, whose nature is Love. When you touch your Soul, you experience a love that is unconditional and eternal.

The soul is birthless, eternal, imperishable, and timeless and is never destroyed when the body is destroyed.
      – Bhagavad Gita

Your Soul is not only what connects you through Love to others and to the Divine; it is the dynamic part of your being that is eternal. It is in coming into relationship with your Soul that the mystery of eternal life is solved. It is by developing a relationship with your Soul that great wisdom and insight in your life is revealed. It is your Soul that is available to guide you to understand your purpose in life. Ponder deeply on these words!

Your Soul is much more than a vague concept. It is a source of dynamic power and deep Love that desires a relationship with the wholeness of your being, your personality, your mind, and your emotions. It is in the integration of these aspects of your human experience that a fullness of life, love, and real joy can be expressed. It is through your Soul that you are connected with God throughout your life.

We are told in the esoteric writings of the Ageless Wisdom, that when a human life is ready to incarnate, it is the Soul that draws together the atomic substance that will become the physical vehicle for the life. To do this it draws upon the one permanent atom that remains in a continuity of consciousness from previous life experiences. The Soul then merges it with a permanent atom that creates the emotional body with another permanent atom that becomes the mental body and finally with the permanent atom that forms the personality.

This phenomenon may explain why at birth, instead of a new life being a blank slate, as many believe, an astute observer will note that the personality nature of a baby, the way that they think and how they respond emotionally is already inherent in their being.

This mysterious role of the Soul in eternity opens our minds and our hearts to the unfathomable aspect of the mind of God and the nature of man as a being that is both material and Divine. Under its guidance, your human life is created and at the conclusion of your human life it is returned to and reunited with God in the Oneness of Spirit.

Ponder on this and consider what it reveals and explains in a way that resonates with you as truth.

Meditation, quiet reflection combined with the intention to open your conscious awareness to your Soul, not only empowers your life but also provides clarity and revelation that helps diminish the pain of loss that is so integral to the human experience when a loved one pass away. Touching the edge between the material and the eternal is just one of the blessings of meditation. It has been said in many spiritual circles, “you are a Soul having a human experience.”   That is much more powerful and exciting than the perspective that you are a human, having a spiritual experience. This little shift in your understanding can be significant.

Consider how this perspective is different from the thought that you are a material being striving for a spiritual experience. This shift in understanding, this expansion of your identity, opens your heart and your mind. It is the single simple step that can begin a journey to live less controlled by fear and more open to an active co-creative relationship with your Soul and ultimately with God.

This consciousness shift can create changes and greater empowerment in your life. It is a shift in identifying who and what you are. It is a portal to embracing and experiencing the Divine Love that is your birthright. Meditation is the practice that can open your mind and your heart while benefitting the health and wellbeing of your body. It is a way of integrating yourself into being all that you can be.

I Encourage You To Meditate

As you ponder the mystery of the eternal and the magic of the Soul, I invite and encourage you to incorporate the practice of meditation into your daily life. In the world, and in my work, there are wide varieties of meditations available. Many meditations, and most of my guided meditations that I have published, can be experienced in just 10-20 minutes. In many of my articles, I also provide mantra’s to ponder on and meditation techniques to experience.

I always suggest that to begin you “calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.”   Inviting and invoking the Presence of your Soul while quiet and receptive will yield amazing results.

Just know that there are many ways to meditate and none of them are wrong. An intention is important. A very simple meditation technique, which comes from the mindfulness community, focuses simply on awareness and breath by repeating the phrases “I am breathing in,” “I am aware that I am breathing in.”   Followed by noticing, “I am breathing out,” “I am aware that I am breathing out.”

Focusing on your breath, and observing your breath, are simple ways to enter the meditation experience. Setting aside quiet time in prayer after using words can also serve as an entrée to a meditation experience.

Try out different things. Guided meditations are often easier. One of the most challenging aspects of meditation is quieting your mind chatter, particularly the negative and self-destructive or fear elements of your mind chatter. Experiment; try different ways and different things. Find what works for you. Let your Soul guide you.

Once you have chosen a particular way to meditate, give it some consistency by setting aside 10-20 minutes daily to practice the meditation. Let your intuition and your Soul guide you.

Meditation is opening a door and if you are open, it will guide you in finding what you need from the experience. Peace of mind, emotional calm, and physical relaxation are some of the benefits of setting aside some time out of your material life for your spiritual evolution.

I also encourage journaling after a brief period of calming your mind and focusing on Love opening your heart energy, then recording your thoughts and impressions.

In my life meditation has been the tool that has enabled me to live a life of joy and spiritual relationship with the Divine and my fellow man. There is no greater gift that I can offer you than to provide you with the resources to connect with your own Soul and explore the mystery of eternity and the magic of your Soul.

To support you on your quest I have identified some other articles that may be of help to you and provided a link to one of my guided meditations that I feel would give you the experience of the gift of love and the magic of the Soul.

Namaste,

Genevieve

I Will Fear No Evil

I Will Fear No Evil

Meditation Insights of the 23rd Psalm

I Will Fear No Evil Serenity Sunday post by Genevieve Gerard

Recently I was meditating in the morning and asking for guidance on what I could share with you that could empower your spiritual journey at this time.

I found the 23rd Psalm running through my mind with a new understanding and insight of the meaning, intention and power of those familiar words.

I would like to share those impressions with you today.

The Lord Is My Shepherd

Tradition tells us that David, who was a shepherd, before becoming a King, wrote this Psalm.

Whenever I read the Psalms or the story of the life of David who became a King I am struck by several things. One is David’s strong sense of the joy and relationship with his Soul and the other is the powerful relationship of communion and faith in God.

Those dynamics are expressed and exalted in the 23rd Psalm that has been used as a comfort to so many for so long.

If we consider the words thoughtfully, there is a deep and underlying meaning in the words of the 23rd Psalm that can be pondered on and of benefit to you in your life.

The first phrase:

The Lord is my shepherd

This is a powerful statement because it implies being in a guiding and protective relationship with God.

This relationship is one of a human being, “I”, being in a close communion with God “Thou”. It speaks to a willingness to be directed by the higher wisdom of God as he has a greater vision of the whole scope of your life. The surrender to this wisdom and this guidance is a part of what makes this Psalm so comforting. God as a shepherd has the big picture and will provide direction. You are not in this adventure of life alone; you are connected with the Divine who loves and cares for you.

I shall not want

This is a powerful affirmation, not only of faith but also in keeping with the Law of Attraction. This affirms that abundance is yours to the point that your needs and your wants are provided for.

He makes me lie down in green pastures

There is no greater gift to a sheep, who is guided by a shepherd, than a green pasture filled with more than enough to eat.

He leads me beside still waters

It is in the still waters that thirst can be quenched easily. I have often thought of the still waters as symbolic of the waters of life that quench not only physical thirst but a spiritual thirst for knowledge and love. In this stillness continues the affirmation that what you need will be provided for by the wisdom and guidance of the Lord as your shepherd.

He restores my Soul

This speaks to the dual relationship that you have with God. As a Soul you are a being who is not just a physical body with material needs, but a being who has a Soul that is united with God, in an integrated union, an “I-Thou” relationship.

You are not alone in your spiritual quest. You are together with the Divine. In the creation story of the Bible, we are told that God created man in His own image to be in a relationship. That part of our being that is in the image of God is our Soul. This is the Divine spark that resides in each of us.

This spark of Divine Light is the essence of your Soul. It is your essential Light that holds you in constant connection with the Divine. I believe this so much that in the very first affirmation of my “Awaken to Success” – affirmations for abundance collection, I wrote, “I am a spark of Divine Light, it is my nature to shine.” This remains one of my favorite affirmations and one I frequently use in my own life.

As a human being whose spiritual anatomy includes not only a physical body, but also emotions, a creative and conceiving mind, and also a Soul, you are a unique part of creation. It is this dual aspect of human nature that separates man from animal. It is through the connection of the Soul that the exalted co-creator relationship with God is demonstrated.

He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake

To me the path of righteousness means right action and right relationship with others. This includes the principles of harmlessness, and right speech.

Your actions and behaviors as a child of God and as a member of his flock witness to others what it means when you are in right relationship with the Divine. Every step you take and every move you make can be a demonstration of this right relationship.

Even though I walk in the valley and the shadow of death,

We have all had difficult times in life when we were emotionally down or may have had problems with health that reminded us that we are mortal and “the shadow of death” is a reality in human life.

Yet, it is a great comfort in those darkest of times to know that even if death is overshadowing, God is with you. You are not alone on the path in the valley of life’s experiences. Your Soul is eternal, and your relationship with God is eternal. This is a great comfort and an incredible blessing.

I will fear no evil

Certainly conquering your fears is one of the most freeing aspects of living a spiritual and conscious life. In the immortal words of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, “You have nothing to fear, but fear itself.” Fear is the most limiting force in most lives. It can keep you from fulfilling your life’s purpose and destroy the happiness and joy that is your birthright as a beloved Child of God. It is the work of evil in the world.

To free yourself from fear is the fruit of spiritual growth and evolution. It is an essential element in the journey to conscious living. It is the desired outcome of the discipline and practice of meditation.

Check out I Am Feeling Free Meditation by Genevieve Gerard

 

For Thou Art With Me

This speaks to the assurance that you are not alone in the challenges of life. God is always with you. You are supported and sustained by the Presence of God in your life. You can be comforted and reassured by that connection that is always available to you.

Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me

You may not understand how a shepherd uses his rod and his staff and how that provides comfort to the flock, but I have always thought that this refers to the way that God works to gently guide us in our life to the right path. This sense of being directed and guided in my life is always a comfort.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies

I have never seen the world in terms of enemies, so this phrase has never held that much meaning for me. I have always thought that this was a way that David expressed his sense of being protected by God while being blessed with abundance, a way of expressing his faith and assurance that his life was being directed.

Considering the political aspects of David’s life, even when he was a shepherd, this sense of enemies and God showing high favor to them by “preparing a table” is symbolic of God demonstrating his Love and Grace as he guides David to his destiny.

Thou anoints my head with oil

This is a reference to David being chosen as King. In olden times, there is a ritual in which the prophet anointing the head with oil meant God’s favor. For you, it might mean being promoted or offered a new position that is more aligned with your life’s purpose. This, in modern terms, is the demonstration of success.

My cup overflows

This is certainly an expression of great gratitude and affirmation of abundance. It is interesting that at the beginning of the Psalm is an affirmation of abundance and at the end a statement of appreciation for the abundance or success received.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life

This is both an insight of David’s deep relationship with God, one of both goodness and mercy, but is also a statement of faith.

And I shall dwell in the House of the Lord forever

This statement also affirms the eternal nature of the relationship that David shares with God. A child of God dwells forever in the house of his Father. This speaks to a commitment that spans time.

A Psalm is more an affirmation than a prayer. In saying this Psalm, you are expressing and affirming a deep relationship with God. This Psalm is one of the most popular because there is comfort in affirming the surrender to God and support of God as a guiding force in your life.

I invite you to fear no evil and enjoy the peace and comfort that this kind of relationship with God brings into your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Weaving In The Light

Weaving In the Light
-Working in the World for Good

Weaving In The Light - Genevieve Gerard Serenity Sunday Article

You can make a difference in the world.

By becoming weavers in the Light you can bring about the peace the world so desperately needs.

This weaving in the Light is a powerful method that comes from The Ageless Wisdom and is known as the “Technique of Triangles.”

Technique of Triangles

The Technique of Triangles builds with etheric substance through the Universal Principle that “Energy Follows Thought.” It is a work you do as a Soul, to empower other Souls who also are committed to world service.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

You can become a weaver in the Light by invoking and inviting the Presence of your Soul and then declare your intention to join with other Souls to help make the world a better place.

You can do this because you are more powerful than you imagine. Just remember that when you weld the power of the Light, you are energizing right action and right human relationships.

Take a moment each day to join with me, and others throughout the world who comprise the energetic network of The New Group of World Servers.

At your intention and invocation your Soul becomes a part of an etheric and energetic network of Light, Love, and Power, that then spans the world, spreading Goodwill. The Light you are weaving is Soul Light.
        – Genevieve Gerard

Connecting with Soul Light by Genevieve Gerard

 

To join in this purpose all you need to do is imagine your Soul as a radiant point of Light about 3 to 6 feet above your head and then see that Light connecting with another Soul, then another until three Souls have formed a triangle.

Continue to imagine that interconnection of Souls coming together as triangles. As you connect in this mystical formation, as a group of Souls you are empowering and supporting the work of the Will to Good in the World.

Expand this tapestry of Light out to all who you know and most poignantly all whom you love. You can add to this friends and family, co-workers and colleagues, even casual acquaintances.

Since the network you are building is a Soul connection, it is free from your personal will and completely harmless. You are joining with the Divine intention for humanity which is the will to good. This is mystical energetic group work, which will benefit the world.

Join Men and Woman of Goodwill

You may find it beneficial (see below) to use an Ageless Wisdom Mantram that helps you identify with your Soul, by using the power of an “I Am” affirmation.

The Soul Mantra

I am the Soul
I am Light Divine

 

I am Love
I am Will
I am Fixed Design

 

I am the Soul infusing the personality
I am the personality Soul infused

 

As the unified Self, I invoke the One
The One in Whom we live and move and have our Being.

 

        – Unknown

You can then join with the men and woman of Goodwill who are known across the world as the New Group of World Servers. As you join with them as a weaver in the Light, you are joining a worldwide network to bring the world forward in its plan of evolution.

You can further endow this group by joining your consciousness every day at 5 p.m. to support this effort by saying in your heart, and mind, from your Soul, “The Blessing of The New Group of World Servers” below.

As you do this, you help weave and strengthen the Light, the Love and the Power that can transform the world. You are not alone. Across the planet, every day, this group joins energetically and as 5 p.m. moves across the earth this daily infusion of Light helps and heals humanity.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
        – Mahatma Gandhi

You are invited and encouraged to support and connect your Soul in this great work and service to humanity by saying:

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

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

 

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

 

May I fulfill my part in the One Work
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness and right speech.

 

        – A Treatise on White Magic, p. 261 by Alice A. Bailey

Please join with me and the others of The New Group of World Servers as a Weaver in the Light.

When you choose to weave your Light into the fabric of Light and Service that is being woven by Souls across the planet, you are joining in the great work of the Christ to redeem the earth and help it transform from a world of sorrows, into a planet of love. This is the destiny of earth, a destiny that is incorporated and fulfilled in the overall plan of evolution.

If you wish to engage more in the work of world service I am including a prayer, “The Great Invocation” that I have used daily as a part of my meditations, for more years that I care to count, that adds to and builds upon this plan. I have always found it to bring me into a peaceful sense of spiritual alignment and unity.

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the mind of God

Let Light stream forth into the minds of men.

Let light descend on earth.

 

From the point of Love within the heart of God,

Let Love stream forth into the hearts of men.

May Christ return to Earth.

 

From the center where the Will of God is known,

Let purpose guide the little wills of men,

The purpose which the masters know and serve.

 

From the center which we call the Race of Men,

Let the plan of Love and Light work out,

And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

 

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on earth.

 

OM                    OM                    OM

 

        – Discipleship In the New Age Volume II, p. 157 by Alice A. Bailey

Adding this invocation into your Soul service of weaving in the Light, empowers and enhances your efforts because you join with countless unknown others who use the Great Invocation daily or who say The Blessing of The New Group of World Servers @ 5 p.m. daily, wherever it is 5 p.m. in your corner of the world.

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers (NGWS) and the dynamic prayer of The Great Invocation are active ways you can be of service to others and help transform this world.

In this way, you can help to make this world a better place. In this way, you can be an active participant in that nobel purpose.

Your life will be empowered and improved by your meditation connection to your Soul and by your joining forces with other men and woman of Goodwill around the world.

If you would like to Genevieve Gerard post about the New Group of World Serverslearn more about The New Group of World Servers, I have included related links at the conclusion of this article, as well as a link to a collection of NGWS guided meditations you can use to join with this group in meditation.

I thank you and bless you as you join with me in working to make this world a better place for all of humanity.

There is no more important work or effort than to take a bit of your day to support the work of all those who strive to bring about Divine Wills plan and purpose for this world.

We are all a part of the One Humanity and can be weavers in the light.

Namaste,

Genevieve

My Christmas Prayer

Read the Serenity Sunday Christmas Prayer post by Genevieve Gerard

I invite you to join with me in saying and sharing this prayer.

By so doing we can each be an instrument to bring into manifestation the peace on earth and goodwill to men that the angels heralded on that very first Christmas Day.

You will find that this prayer combines invocation and at the end, a mantra. Saying the mantra daily will help keep this energy activated in your life. It joins the techniques of both prayer and meditation in a spiritual experiment.

My Christmas Prayer

Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, Beloved Son of God who is the
Son of Man.

 

As Christmas comes again this year I share this reverent prayer.
The world is much in need of your Divine help and intervention.

 

Today I pray for peace in the world where there is too little peace.
You who are known as the Prince of Peace who walked among us,
the children of the earth for a precious span of years know well
the foibles and failures of mankind, that lead to war.
I ask that you show us a better way.

 

Today, this Christmas Day, where across the planet men and woman wish for peace on earth and the powerful intention of Goodwill to Men,
I invite and invoke the Spirit of Peace to come among us and abide with us.

 

I ask that as this past year passes away, that forgiveness and the principles of brotherhood come evermore into human consciousness. Let the wounds of the past be healed in an inflow of Grace and understanding to bring an end to the cycle of revenge and retribution that fuels so much evil in the world and destroys the work of the men and women of goodwill who work for peace.

 

I ask that the Divine Love that came to the world on that first Christmas and was anchored on earth with the sacrifice of the Christ, is born in the hearts of all of humanity today and grows so that the Divine plan for our planet can be revealed in the minds of people everywhere reveling another way, the better way.

 

Let the old lies, glamour, and illusions of separateness fade away as the Light, Love and Power of Your purpose come with the Light of each new day.

 

Let the Sun as it rises every morning be a sign and symbol for all across the world, that your Wisdom and Mercy which endure forever, are now with the dawning of this new cycle on earth. That a new age of time can spring forth from humanity as the urge to live in harmony and brotherhood grows ever stronger with each new day.

 

I ask that all of humankind be a force for good in the world, as we strive to fulfill the promise and potential of all that we can truly be as human beings. Enlighten us, infuse us and inspire us as a New Year unfolds.

 

Let compassion fill the hearts of all in power, so the cries of hungry children do not go unheeded or unheard.

 

With the Light of each new dawn let new ideas and new solutions be discovered. With the blessing of insight and inspiration, draw men away from greed and materialism that they can be filled with the joy that serving others brings.

 

Bless us o Lord, that we may be your instrument of Light, Love and Peace in the world now and forever in everything that we do.

 

Mantra

For all of my brothers and sisters who comprise the One Humanity I ask:

 

May the Divine Self Inspire me and the Light of the Soul Direct.
May we all be led from the darkness into Light,
from the unreal to the real and
from death to immortality,
so that we may manifest the promise and
the overall plan of evolution for all of creation.

 

Amen

 

Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas to you and all those you love.

Thank you and Namaste,

   Genevieve

Healing Energy is Empowered by Love

Healing Energy is Empowered by Love   

How to send healing energy from a distance

   

How to Send Healing Energy From a Distance by Genevieve Gerard

Everything, including our body and our thoughts, are energy.

Sending good intentions and good thoughts when someone is in need of physical, emotional, mental or spiritual help can be more important than you might realize.

Thought energy is particularly powerful and has been proven to influence matter.

There is a realm of reality that goes beyond the physical
where in fact we can influence each other from a distance.
      – Deepak Chopra

This means that distance healing is not only possible but very real.

The world of matter has many limitations.

It is easy to get caught up in those limitations and begin to believe that the limited world of matter is all that is real. I believe nothing could be further from the truth.

There is a material reality of course. What you perceive with your physical sensations of hearing, sight, taste, touch, and smell are known to be real.

However, to believe that reality is limited only by perception would be to deny a deeper and more profound reality. By knowing the ways that energy works, you can open yourself to a reality that expands your consciousness. Therefore, you can live incorporating and using your full potential as a human being.

You can live in the world of matter, enjoying and appreciating all of the many delights that it has to offer. And, you can live in the world of energy and spirit and express the amazing freedom and power that it provides. Ultimately, I believe one of your goals, as you walk the earth, is to live simultaneously as fully human and as a spark of the Divine.

Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.
      – Sai Baba

Loves Role In Healing

This is of particular significance when you are engaging in healing across the miles or when physically separated from someone you love. If you have ever been away from someone you love, you know that the nature of love is unlimited by both space and time. Although you may miss their physical presence in your days, their absence does not diminish the love that you feel for them.

My Grandmother used to say, “Distance is to love like wind to a flame, it puts out the small but enkindles the large.” If you have ever been parted from a loved one you realize that physical distance does not impact love. Your love can flow across the miles without limitation.

Love is the empowering force for all energetic healing. It is this truth and this reality that enables you to do energetic healing at a distance. Since that connection remains in place, healing can happen no matter what the physical separation. You can have a positive impact on someone through the power of thought and intention.

The Souls Role In Healing

When you engage in healing at a distance, you are working in the realm of etheric energy and through the bonds of love and the connection between your Souls. This is especially true when you are sending healing Light, Love or Power to a loved one, but the same principle is true when you are focusing on healing for someone you may not know personally.

Remember that in all energetic healing, it is the Soul of the one who needs healing to whom you send energy. Ponder on this.
      – Genevieve Gerard

This is a safeguard as it is their Soul that knows what is truly needed. This also speaks to the reality the Soul is ultimately in control in all crises that require healing. That the Soul is always a manifestation of Divine Presence, Divine Grace, and Divine Love also provides a subtle surrender to Divine Will that serves as a protection to the one for whom you are intending and invoking healing.

When connecting Soul-to-Soul you also have the added benefit of protecting yourself from taking on the physical, emotional or mental dis-ease of the person you are trying to help.

Intention & Invocation Roles In Healing

In all energetic healing, the intention is important. It is known in Quantum Physics that the intention of an experimenter influences the outcome of the experiment. Intention is energy; energy does not have any time or space constraints (unlike our physical senses.) Particles in our cells exist in a field of potentiality – meaning intention can influence the behavior of particles.

The very act of sending healing energy across the miles serves as an invocation. It is this merger of intention and invocation with the Soul connection that makes distance healing miraculously effective.

Because this work is energetic and spiritual it is free from the limitations of the world of matter. It is open to the invitation of healing angels or healing devas to enhance your efforts. You can add to the healing force your prayers. You can use the power of visualization by “seeing” the person as if they were whole and healthy. This focuses your energy on wellness and not the disease of ailment.

Right Action In Healing

Again, I stress that the energy you send for healing is sent from your Soul to their Soul enfolded in love. Always in healing, it is important to focus on right action for that person because the Soul has the wisdom and understanding about their lives and their lessons that you probably do not have. This is an import factor as you never want to use your personal will in healing another. Your thoughts and energy are there to support the process of healing, not control it with your personal will or desires.

Although energetic healing is not subject to any of the limitations of the material world, I have always found it helpful to know where someone lives or where they are physically in the world when I tune in to provide energetic healing. That may only have value as a mental tool to enable me to focus, but I have found it helpful over the years. That is a subtle difference in energetic healing from prayer where the invocation is a petition, versus being active in the healing process. Certainly, prayer is effective in distant healing and works.

Meditation Can Set The Stage For Healing

My gift to you:
Here is a quick meditation technique for Distance Healing that you should find helpful.

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

As you calm your mind, put the week behind you, surrender your personal will and release your desires for a particular outcome.

Clearly, state that your intention is for the Highest Good of the one to whom you are sending healing light and energy.

As you open your heart, focus on the bonds of love that connect you. From your heart to their heart, realize that love is a powerful and tangible energetic force.

Let your unconditional love flow forth to provide them comfort and support. Trust that this is received and goes forth as an invocation with your intention.

The Light of the Soul
Soul Light

 

Then imagine or visualize your Soul (with unlimited access to your higher source) as a golden white light 3-6 feet above your head.

Then imagine the Soul light of the one you intend to heal as a point of golden white light 3-6 feet above their head.

Along this energetic pathway, visualize the energy of Light, of Love and of Power gently flowing across the space that separates you physically, knowing that you are unified energetically through etheric substance.

If there are others joined with you in the desire to heal and help this person, build a network of etheric substance to empower the healing by imagining each of them as Souls, with their golden-white light radiating above their heads and link (in groups of three), your Souls to the Soul of the person that needs healing.

When finished, place your right hand over the left hand in a sweeping motion. This is the mudra of detachment.

Namaste

 

This triangulation of energy is a powerful force for good. The meditation can be expanded to include a larger group, adding in more triangles of energy and always Soul-to-Soul.

When you are also bound by love, such as with a close group, family or friends, you can also add triangle lines of energy from heart-to-heart, building an etheric network of love.

As a group, this healing network is even more powerful and has far-reaching implications, as you can participate in the multiplied healing efforts unlimited by either space or time.

By working in this way, through your Soul to their Soul, you will be able to join your energy with theirs for whatever healing result is right for them. It is important that you do not use any of your life force, but instead tap into the unlimited higher source provided through your Soul. It is important that when you work in this way that you do not let your desire for a particular outcome influence you. It is important to keep your personal will harnessed and only invoke what is right for them, understanding that the Soul is in control of both the outer form of life and all events.

Here is a Mantra that you can say that is helpful for this:

Let the Soul control the outer form and Life and all events
and bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of the times.
Let wisdom come and insight. Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner wisdom demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.
Let Love prevail.
      Excerpt from Invocation For The New Group Of World Servers
            – Alice A. Bailey

Experience this meditation, the healing energy empowered by Love and become a powerful force for healing in the world. Let us know in the comments section below how this impacts you.

Namaste,

Genevieve
