Genevieve Gerard Posts About Awareness & Being In the Now
Yesterday has passed. It shall not come again. Whatever you have done, or left undone can be released into the moment, the now. Forgive yourself and any others who may need forgiveness. Flow into today open to the promise of becoming with No Regrets. Every moment brings you to the NOW. Celebrate!

Often, in life, we find ourselves ready to proceed with whatever we are planning to do, but find that we have to wait.
Waiting brings up a lot of feelings, impatience, frustration, annoyance, even at times anger. But waiting patiently also provides us with a unique opportunity not found at other times in life: the chance to rest in, or be in the moment, without the distractions of doing.
That sense of powerlessness can be turned into a time of empowerment by turning whatever time we are required to wait, into a space to center ourselves, and let ourselves bask in the pleasure and the joy of just being in the now.
Surrendering to the moment in which there is nothing else to do (and therefore nothing else you need to do) but just enjoy being, in the now. Comment and let me know your experience.
Namaste,
Genevieve
The Blessings of Love on All That You Do!

There is great freedom in being in the now. In the present moment that is, right now, any burden in life is scaled down in perspective. It is only when an event or circumstance is outside of the now, outside of the moment that we become overwhelmed. In the now, we always have the strength to bear whatever life requires. The thoughts that things will always be the way they are now adds a burden we were never meant to bear. Most importantly we do not have to bear that pain. If we choose we can, by shifting our consciousness and our perspective to the now, remove that pain as if it never existed, because, it doesn’t exist in the now. It is only a past or future thought form projection that we have placed a meaning on. You can heal your life, give yourself a fresh perspective.

There is within us awareness, a recognition that we have spontaneously when we hear the truth. The truth resonates deep within us as a sense of knowing that is beyond understanding or belief. We can with the incredible facility of our minds and rigidity of belief reframe and deny a truth if it does not fit within our preconceived definitions of the world, but that flash of truth is felt in the moment, even if it is quickly discarded or denied. We can choose to deny that ring that truth brings within the many judgments that the mind can provide in quicksilver response, but not before that sense of truth is felt, even if never considered again. Or we can choose to pay attention, open our minds and hearts and ponder upon the significance of that flash of awareness that can open the door to deeper perception of the adventure we call life.

There is a special color that the sky has as the light of dawn dispels the darkness. A quiet anticipation of the day ahead is filled with hope and promise. In that moment, everything is possible. The power to manifest is ours. With a joyful heart, let us seize the day.
So often as the morning begins, as the beauty of the many colors of a cloud-filled sky join the emerging light of the day, I think of this phrase from Robert Browning’s poem Pippa Passes “God’s in his Heaven – All’s right with the world.”
The peace and the confidence and joy that using these words as an affirmation brings, sets the day with a perspective and attitude of anticipation. It also brings forth the gratitude for the little blessings of life.
Each day gives us a new promise, a new opportunity to enjoy the many blessings that surround us, down to the snails on the thorn. If we only look around us with awareness of the many simple gifts that life presents we can find so much to celebrate and enjoy.
The year’s at the spring
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in his Heaven –
All’s right with the world!
Robert Browning (1812-1889)
Ponder on this!
Blessings,
Genevieve Gerard
