Simple Joys in Life

Simple Joys in Life

beautiful gardenia bush in nature

If we look around us and remain open and aware there are a myriad of little blessings and simple joys for which we can be grateful.

Perhaps it is the rare combination of colors in the sky as a dark cloud blends with a pink cloud at sunrise.

Perhaps it is the cool movement of the air on your face on a warm day.

Perhaps it is the waif of perfume in the air as you pass by a blooming bush.

These little blessings of beauty and nature make up the miracle of life.

We only need to open our eyes to see the gifts that abound all around us. These are the simple joys in life.
          – Genevieve Gerard

And, as we express our gratitude whether outwardly or just within our own hearts we expand our experience of joy and celebrate the wonder that can bring us happiness in the midst of life’s challenges.

Today, see how many little blessings you can find as you move through your life. Appreciate them and express your gratitude for them. Then notice how much more serene and content you feel when you recognize the simple joys in life.

 

Namaste,

Genevieve

Independence Day 2013: Freedom

Independence Day 2013

Freedom of Forgiveness

Independence Day Freedom

Today is the 4th of July; a day that all across the United States the concept of freedom is pondered and considered.

This concept is very powerful and in the years since our Forefathers espoused the principles of governance to guide the emerging nation that became our country freedom has been a constant principle, sometimes misused, sometimes misunderstood and yet it remains a deep principle and tenet of our consciousness.

The freedom to do, the freedom to say, the freedom to think and the freedom to be are all cornerstones of the awareness of modern man all around the planet.
Today as I meditate and ponder upon these weighty concepts I am aware of a kind of freedom that comes not from a governmental system but rather from our individual heart, mind and Soul. That is the freedom to forgive ourselves.

It is not unusual that I would think of this as I have been working on creating meditations on Self-Forgiveness for a variety of different groups in a variety of circumstances of life events. But as I ponder the concept of Freedom as the dawn breaks over the skies of a 4th of July, the freedom to forgive oneself and to free oneself from the endless toxic cycle of self-judgment and recrimination seems to be important.

All too often our thoughts and feelings are trapped in self-blame, self-doubt and shame that not only limits our ability to be free but destroys our hope, our promise and our potential to both give and receive love.

This lack of self-forgiveness, this blame game we all play to varying degrees, disconnects us from those around us, separates and isolates us and denies both us and others of the Love that we all so desperately need and desire. It serves no purpose for all that you have ever done and all that has ever been done to you is in the past. It is only by your lack of self-forgiveness or forgiveness of the other that it is brought into the present to contaminate what is truly happening and deprive you of the peace the love and the joy that life is offering you in the now, in this moment, here and now today.

As we celebrate with family and friends the freedoms we enjoy, I invite you to add a new freedom to enjoy, the freedom from self-judgment, self-blame and self-recrimination.” – Genevieve Gerard

To do this I invite you into the present, into this moment of time. Consciously and with intention realize that the past is past. It cannot invade or influence this moment of time unless you invite it in. In the moment you have the power and the freedom to be released from any and all pain and circumstance in life that has come before.

Let yourself enter into the freedom that this moment grants by both expanding your awareness into this moment of time and confining your awareness to this moment of time. In this moment the past is both dissolved and resolved. In this moment all you have ever experience can be released because it is in the past. You are free from it. You are unfettered and released in the awareness that because it is in the past it cannot be altered or changed, but it can be forgiven.

In this moment is a magic that lays before you a future that has not been written that holds a potential and a promise that everything can be different and new from everything that has ever come before. This power is available to you as you enter into the reality and realization of what is truth, without the distortion of the past. Accepting this moment, while releasing and forgiving what has been, while opening yourself to all that can be, all that can happen in this ongoing adventure of life.

Shedding the past as the worn out garment you have worn and worried too long invites you into NOW and gives you true freedom, the freedom to be and the freedom to become all that you have ever longed to be.

Accept this freedom, release the past through self-forgiveness and embrace the full possibility of your life to celebrate true independence.

Happy Independence Day. Today is truly the first day of the rest of your life. Go forth freed from past errors and mistakes to fulfill you higher purpose and destiny.

Namaste

Wealth and Abundance

Differentiating between

Wealth and Abundance

Wealth and Abundance

Recently, while I was talking with a spiritual friend of mine he shared an insight a mutual friend of ours had that felt very significant. That insight is that many of us when focusing on manifesting our needs don’t understand the difference between wealth and abundance.

Often the lives of those who follow the principles of the Law of Attraction have lives of great and glorious abundance. What they may not have is abundance of wealth. What they may need is wealth. If you think of your own life, as I thought about mine through this filter, there may be a significant shift in your energy. Manifesting wealth is very different from manifesting abundance.

There are many wealthy people who lack abundance and as many spiritual people know there are many whose lives are overflowing with abundance that lack the wealth necessary for their needs.

Take a moment and consider and review your own life within the context of these two very different energies. Ponder upon which you need and which you need to manifest in your life. If you already have an abundant life take a minute to realize that and express your gratitude. If what you need is to manifest greater wealth then shift your words and intention when you practice your meditation or prayer and visualize with this clear differentiation in mind.

If what you need is to manifest greater wealth then shift your words and intention when you practice your meditation or prayer and visualize with this clear differentiation in mind.” – Genevieve Gerard

This subtle change, this subtle shift, will unleash great change in your life. Words possess great power and using the word that truly reflects what you need, especially when working with the Law of Attraction is very important. Consider this differentiation between abundance and prosperity. Remember that energy follows thought. Consider what you need and what you desire so your message to your Higher Self and your message to Source can be both accurate and clear.

Ponder on this and realign your thoughts to ask for what you need. This increased clarity can only enhance your ability to manifest in your life. Take a moment and comment about this below.

Soul Purpose

The Joy of Expressing Your Soul Purpose

Expressing Soul Purpose by Genevieve Gerard

Recently, I was having a conversation about expressing your soul purpose with one of my dear friends. The dialogue prompted me to write this blog post on the joy of expressing your soul purpose.

Each of us has within us a sense of our true purpose in life, the reason for which we entered into life and donned the garments of a body, emotions, and mind. Having experienced life many times throughout the ages, we knew that we would be presented with challenges and lessons as we journeyed on our quest.

These challenges we accepted, these lessons we desired knowing they would nurture our development and allow us to grow and become and be a material expression of our essential being.

Having tread before the path of life we know there are dangers and pitfalls along the way. These we accept and acknowledge as we enter into incarnation before we forget who we truly are and what we truly are.

When we touch that purpose and express that purpose we are filled with a sense of joy. We are filled with the excitement of the promise and potential of life.

We can use that joy, that excitement, that delight, as a signal and direction from our Soul that we are fulfilling our purpose, our reason for living in this time, in this place, in this NOW. When we are aligned with our Soul purpose and manifesting our life purpose, fulfilling our hearts desire we are granted the strength of perseverance. We are fortified to stand even when others deny our purpose or fail to support us.

The support of our Soul and the joy that it bestows is sufficient to our need and carries us forward.
        – Genevieve Gerard

It connects us to Source and provides for us in ways that are often miraculous and unexpected. When we transcend our fears and release our attachments and enter into this relationship with our Soul and surrender to manifesting in the world the work and service we have come to do we begin to live in joy and possess a peace that truly passes understanding.

Therefore, follow your bliss; and let your joy be your guide. Only you can fulfill you purpose in life. Celebrate that truth. Enjoy this adventure we call life wherever the road may go. It is your destiny.

 

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Light of the Dawn

Light of the Dawn

Light of the Dawn | Genevieve Gerard
As the last breath of darkness surrenders to the Light of the dawn, I am reminded that the Light has the power over the dark

As a single candle can dispel the darkness, positive thoughts in our mind can dispel the fears that try to hold us captive

Each time we assert our dominion over the tyranny of fear we strengthen the Divine Light within us.  And as surely as the Sun chases the night from the sky, so our affirming and embracing positive thoughts activates the law of the universe that energy follows thought, which places the power for our life firmly in our hands.

Ponderings on Resurrection

Ponderings on Resurrection

Resurrection

As Easter Morning approaches I find myself pondering the deeper meaning of resurrection. There is in the life of Jesus, no more miraculous or promising story told than that of his resurrection. The very possibility of resurrection stirs hope in the human heart.

As I ponder upon and consider the deeper meaning and message of resurrection, I see it as an affirmation of life and consciousness beyond the limitations of our physical being. It seems that Jesus’s appearing after his death, to the women at the tomb, and later in Galilee, were important demonstrations of the eternity of the life of the Soul and the continuity of consciousness.

This message is affirmed with joy on Easter morning with the ritual words, “He is risen, He is risen indeed!” These words speak to the promise of the eternal nature of our Soul and the importance of consciousness. Hidden in the miraculous story of the resurrection of Jesus are mysteries of how the Soul impacts matter to create life. The mechanics of life are miraculous and often veiled from our real understanding, as the mechanics of resurrection are veiled from our understanding. The significance of the resurrection story is in what it reveals to us about the life of the Soul and the nature of consciousness.

The resurrection story assures us that there is more possibility and potentiality in our Soul, in our consciousness, in the miracle of life itself, than we might have imagined. The resurrection demonstrates that although there is much we do not understand at this point in our awareness, the limitations we perceive and place upon ourselves can be just an illusion, and the nature of truth and reality are more vast and amazing than we can comprehend at this point in our evolution. Therefore I rejoice to the depth of my being in the possibility and promise that the story of the resurrection brings, in full understanding and faith that there is more to the miracle of life than I can understand, and that in the fullness of time and through the journey of exploring our timeless consciousness all will be revealed.

Center Your Energies Before Writing

How to Center Your Energies Before You Begin to Write

Journal PenThis post is in response to a question I revived in one of the comments on my Blog.

Here are some tips and ideas to help you center your energies and clear your mind before you write. Breath as always is a key element to calming your mind and opening yourself to the insight and wisdom of your Higher Self. It is the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self that you want to access in order to do your best writing.

By connecting to the flow of energy from you Higher Self, you are able to write from the perspective of your whole being. Your thoughts can then take on the wholeness of your Self by bringing the alignments of your emotions with your mind and the wisdom and insight that your Soul brings to the expression of your self in the process of writing.

So, begin by sitting quietly and focus upon your breath. As you observe and become aware of your breath, allow your mind to quiet. The awareness of your breath automatically begins multiple events in motion. The simple act of observing your breath with no attempt to control your breathing helps you relax and bring your energy to a calm quiet and receptive place.

You can then further enhance the process of writing by forming the clear intention that your Higher Self will influence your writing.”
– Genevieve Gerard

As you sit there observing your breath letting your body calm and your mind let the chatter fade away you can further prepare to write by opening your heart and mind to the impressions and insight of your Higher Self. You can then further enhance the process of preparation by forming the clear intention that your Higher Self will influence your writing. Express that intention as an expression of your will.

You can further strengthen this connection by imagining golden light connecting your heart, your mind and your Soul in a triangle of energy. As you continue to breathe, see the light flow easily along this pathway to connect your body (at the heart center), mind (at the point of energy midway between your eyebrows) and Soul Imagine (imagined as a radiant point of Light about 3 feet above your head) the blending and fusing of those energies.

This can all be accomplished in just a few minutes. You can then engage in a meditation, or just begin to write. It is important to suspend self-criticism and self-judgment as you begin to write. You can always change and edit your writing once you have created a draft in the natural flow of your writing. Allow your writing to flow naturally.

If you find that your flow of thoughts and words slows, return to letting the breath move your energy in the magic triangle of heart, mind and Soul. You can return to blending, fusing and circulating that energy as many times as you need to throughout the process of writing whenever you feel your energy flow becomes stagnant.

Approaching your writing from a centered place of awareness, connected to your Higher Self is particularly important when you write in a journal or are engaged in creative or spiritual writing. Check out my blog post on “Keeping A Journal Can Be A Doorway To Spiritual Insight.” Even technical and business writers will benefit from taking the time to center and connect your energies before you write.

Over time, these simple steps of coordinating your breath and your intention with the connection of your heart, mind and Soul will become second nature to you and free you from the stress and tyranny of self-criticism that limits the creative process.

New Opportunities

New Opportunities

In our life we are given many opportunities to begin anew.  Today signifies a New Moon, the chance to start a new cycle.  Astrological and esoteric traditions tell us that at the New Moon, seeds of thought and energy are created, which develop and mature as the moon grows to its fullness.  The demarcation of a New Year has just passed for the Western calendar, and Chinese New Year lies immediately ahead, on February 10th.  Thus celebrations of a new start and new beginnings have been enjoyed by mankind for thousands of years.

The chance to put the past behind us and enter into present time with all of its promise and potential is an exciting and hopeful aspect of our great adventure in life.

It is this hopeful promise that is part of the joy that each day, each new dawn, brings to me.  The wonderful thing about these plentiful markers of new beginnings, from a new day to the New Moon or a New Year, is they can be used as a time of reflection or meditation, empowering us to truly put the past behind us and enter into now.

There are also opportunities to forgive yourself of any past failures, and to forgive others of any past wrongs or betrayals.  Each new day, each new moon and each New Year reminds us that our most powerful time is now.  It is in the present that our full promise and full potential are available to us.

Whether we are young or old there is truth in the saying “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”  Celebrate it by letting go of the past and entering to the power of Now with all of the freedom and joy that offers you, right here and right now.

Ponderings on a Christmas Morning

Ponderings on a Christmas Morning

Merry Christmas 2012
Today we celebrate the birth of the Christ.  We celebrate by giving gifts and joining together with friends and loved ones.  We celebrate in the remembrance of the gift from God of the birth of him who was to become the World Savior. He through an act of complete obedience and surrender sacrificed his all. In so doing he eliminated of the separation of mankind from God and anchored Divine Love on earth. 

The life of Christ was both a miraculous and a mythical event that fulfilled prophecies and enacted rituals unknown to our understanding.  Just the foretelling of his life was sufficient to make a Cosmic Star rise in the east and, the Angelic hosts sing. 

Since the life and willing sacrifice of the Christ, much has changed in the world.  There is still great work to be done in the world for the Love that was grounded by the Christ 2000 years ago to become manifest on earth and reign in the hearts of humanity.

We can join in this great work by living in Love, expressing love, demonstrating love and letting love guide our thoughts, our feeling and our actions.  The more we can express love in our life, the more we can give love in our life, and then we are filled with the joy of love and the ability to live our life more abundantly.

Namaste

The Blessing of Beauty

The Blessing of Beauty

It is all too easy to take for granted the blessings we have in our lives.  This morning, as I watch the light chase away the shadows and bring into focus the world before me, I realize how we can fail to notice the beauty that surrounds us, the blessings that surround us.  Nature in her glorious abundance makes a gift to us that we may easily ignore.

  

The simple joy, the subtle beauty of the light of the morning, is part of an ever-changing, constantly renewing demonstration that we only need open our eyes to see.” -Genevieve Gerard

No dawn is a repeat performance.  Each dawn is a unique blessing, its own gift.  We receive this gift whether we are rich or poor.  It is available to us by simply opening our eyes and observing.  It is an ever-changing drama, readily available for our enjoyment, our pleasure, our blessing.

This awareness leads me to ponder the question, how many other experiences in our life do we take for granted and thereby ignore?  How many blessings are we being given that we fail to see and fail to appreciate as we hurry and scurry from event to event, caught up in the glamour of busyness?

Today, now, in this moment of time, let us focus our awareness on the beauty that surrounds us, the blessings we may not have observed or have taken for granted.  Let us open our minds and hearts to appreciate all that is being given to us, right here, right now.

Let us focus our attention on what we have, instead of what we think we need or believe we want.  And in this spirit of receiving, let us allow our gratitude and our joy to spring forth.

Let us enjoy this experience of observing and appreciating the beauty that surrounds us and the blessings that are available to us each moment, each day.

The Joy of Earth’s Beauty

The Joy of Earth’s Beauty

Life on Planet Earth is challenging. Mired in matter and all too often ruled by greed it is often known as a veil of tears. Love, the universal principle of our spiritual being is obscured by our desire nature, our glamour’s and illusions. Suffering and a sense of separateness keep us from experiencing the joy that is available to us if we could just break free to access the fullness of our being.

Meditation can reveal the potential of joy that resides within us, but sorrow and suffering are triggered by so many events and so much of the negative offerings of our mind chatter that is easy to slip away from the consciousness of our Soul’s nature as we return to life even from the most exalted of meditative experiences. It seems unfair that we, the citizens of planet earth should be so rationed.

Yet, as I ponder this I realize as I look around that we have been blessed with the portal to thousands of joys by the beauty that surrounds us. From the first glows of the light of dawn to the last streaks of the sunset across the sky, beauty is available to us. To the verdant green of the rainforest to the windswept sands of the Sahara, and in way the light is captured by the ripples in the water all around this planet, the gift of beauty is here for us as a portal to joy if we only choose to take advantage.

Within the myriad of manifestations of life on this planet, plants, flowers, birds and insects, water and clouds and the whole of nature combine to offer up to us the potential to portal to joy by observing and appreciating the vast and awesome beauty that surrounds us every minute of every day.

If we take a pause to look around us we can see this reminder of the joy that is available to us. If we draw in our breath, or feel the gentle movement of the air that surrounds us we can open our eyes to beauty. This beauty can open us to joy.

Take a minute to just breathe in and appreciate all the beauty that is here for us in life. It is there for us in each moment no matter what sorrows batter our lives. It is free for the taking as a gift from life to every man, woman or child who walks on this earth. And no matter how caught up we get in our busyness, our stresses and our struggles, beauty is there to remind of us the joy, the peace and the potential life offers us in the moment.

In gratitude let us appreciate this gift and enjoy these gifts of beauty of life on planet earth.

Namaste,
Genevieve Gerard

New Group of World Servers

New Group of World Servers

– Those who work for a better world

New Group of World Servers photo

Throughout the world are men and women of Goodwill, men and women who work tirelessly to help their fellow man. These people live in every nation but transcend all borders. They are citizens of Planet Earth. Their work is not heralded. It may never be noticed by the media. Yet this world is impacted daily by their efforts.

They may not be known to one another but they are drawn together in a vision of the potential for a better world.

They belong to many different religions, many different groups and many different clubs.

The principles they aspire to are self-forgetfulness and harmlessness and right speech.

You can help support their work by joining people all around the world in all languages at 5pm daily.

They are known as The New Group of World Servers.

This invocation incorporates the principle that energy follows thought. It is a simple act that helps align you positively with a better world. It requires no belief. It takes only a moment of joining in your intention. Your voicing this invocation helps support their work for a better world.

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.

  • Self-forgetfulness – We are demonstrating self-forgetfulness any time we respond to the needs of another without considering our desires or our needs or our personal ambition. This is an act of service and most often engaged in as a demonstration of love.
  • Harmlessness – This is being aware of the consequences of our actions (often unintended) and making a conscious choice to do no harm to another.
  • Right Speech – Words have power. It is important to use that power wisely to use the power of your intention and your will to bring about good.

You are invited to join in this effort of world service each day in a brief meditation at 5 p.m., your local time wherever you are, by just voicing the Blessing of the New Group of World Servers above.

Namaste and thank you for joining in this great service. Please share this with other like-minded friends.

Breath of Life

Breath of Life

One Life, One Love, One Breath

We are all One by Genevieve Gerard

Many teachers of the Spiritual Path teach about Oneness.

In our world of rugged individualism and self-focus this concept of Oneness is foreign and can be a little threatening.

After all, if we are truly all one, if we truly believe that and begin to live that, we would have to change our behavior to others.

Within this paradigm of thought we would not only be compelled to follow the Golden Ruledo unto others as you would have them do unto you” we would realize that in the Oneness that unites us, harming another causes us harm.

This is a vast and profound concept that as we ponder on it, would by logical conclusion transform all our relationships into right human relationships. It would lead us to the conclusion that Arjuna reached on the battlefield as told in the Bhagavad Gita “I can no longer war against myself.” If by some miracle of awareness and enlightenment every human being on earth began to accept and live this concept, the Golden Age of Peace and Prosperity prophets predict would be immediately ushered in, not just for 1,000 years, but forever.

Greed, war, revenge, selfishness, and forces that move so much of our current reality would become unthinkable. Watching anyone, anywhere in the world die of hunger, a virus pandemic or the diseases of contaminated water would be too painful to bear.

If we grasped the truth of Oneness of which the sages and wise men expound, we would realize that not only are we our brother’s keeper but that by helping our brother we are helping ourselves.
      – Genevieve Gerard

This concept is so vast, so outside of our daily experience, that it is easy to dismiss. We think, “How can we be One since I am clearly me and you are clearly you?” It is easy to reject these thoughts, even among spiritually motivated and inclined people. We quickly ascribe these insights to Holy Men or Saints knowing that to live and embody such a truth would bring so much change and transformation to the world that it is beyond our imagination, beyond our ability to even conceptualize.

Recently, while I meditated with some friends on the issues of Goodwill and the Will to Good, embodied in the past Olympic Games, an image came to me that in some small way demonstrates this principle of unity, of oneness. It was a positive image I called One Breath, One Life.

I invite you to experience this image as you just breathe. To experience this, you must join with your thoughts and your imagination the possibility of the oneness of our being linked with all of life on this planet. That link is through the life-yielding breath. Something we can take for granted.

Recently, while I meditated, an image (and meditation) came to me that demonstrates the principle of unity, of oneness. It was a positive image I called One Breath, One Life…

Breathing Oneness Meditation

As you sit and breathe (no more is required of you than that), realize that the air you breathe is the same air that is available to every living being on earth, purified every minute by plants and trees.

As the air enters your lungs, it infuses your blood, your very life force. The molecules, the atoms the very essence of that breath circulates through you, infuses you, sustains you.

When you exhale, those atoms, those molecules are released back into the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide you release is then transformed by plants, maybe as far away as the Amazon or some rainforest. The atoms and molecules that have nourished and sustained you travel on the currents of air to faraway peoples and foreign cultures.

This air, these very atoms, and molecules, are available to other life forms, the plant life of the planet and the animals of the planet. That which has touched you and sustained your life is available to touch them and sustain their life.

As you just sit and breathe in and exhale naturally and effortlessly in this small way we can become aware of the unity of life that exists on this unconscious, pre-conscious level.

Have gratitude and give thanks for the miracle of purified breath and oneness.

 

               – GG

 

As I realized this, pondered on this and imagined this I was filled with a sense of oneness, a sense of connectedness to life that filled me with great peace and with great joy. This is a simple way we can touch this concept through our mind, through our intention, through our heart. If you choose to try this exercise while you are sitting and breathing, make sure you “Calm your Mind, Open your Heart and Invite the Light.”

Pay attention to any thoughts and impressions that may come from your Soul (your Higher Self) and realize that ‘Energy Follows Thought.’ Ponder on this! Your actions or lack of actions can affect others.

In this simple experience you have touched on the unity of life through breath, the oneness of all of life for just these brief moments of time, right here, right now.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

It is her sincere desire that the potential of a life of joy and celebration that seems to elude so many people can become a reality for you, now and forever.
