Breeze of an Angels Wing

Feel the Breeze of an Angels Wing

Be Not Afraid by Genevieve Gerard

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

Angels are shy beings, composed Spirit and not matter.  For that reason, they do not appear in a way that can be seen with the physical eye.

There are those whose eyes are focused in such a way that they can see what is etheric.  It is they who can see the fairies and other Spirit beings who live among us, often both unknown and unseen.

It is important to remember that there is more to life than what appears in solid matterSpirit, your Soul, and angelic beings are real and reside outside of the visual field of your physical eyes which are attuned to the material world.

Stories of Angels

Children are the most likely to experience these beings.  To be born able to see the etheric along with perceiving the material is a gift.  However, when with childish innocence, they share their vision with the adults in their life, many if not most adults, deny that what they are seeing is real.  This invalidation often convinces the child not to share their gifted perception and makes them doubt their experience.

In the scriptures of every culture, and in the legends or every religion there are stories of Angels.  In some of these stories, the Angels appear more in physical form.  In others, they appear more ethereal. In some stories, they seem to be a fully formed physical appearance differentiated by a glow, often around their head or sometimes their whole body, complete with wings.  Consider the many paintings of Angels by Renaissance artists.

What seems to be common in Angelic visitations is that their very first message is for the human to “be not afraid.”  Angels know that people are not used to seeing them and are not used to receiving messages from God.  An angelic message is an unusual and rare experience.  It is a great blessing and a great honor.

The universality of angelic appearances makes me wonder why the ability to see an Angel is systematically trained out of children the world over. This phenomenon applies even to many parents who claim to be believers and have faith.

The very word Angel means messenger of God.  It would seem that a message from God is a great gift, not something to be feared or ignored.  It appears that children could be encouraged to explore and develop their etheric vision rather than be told that it is their imagination.

Somehow, in a world that is composed of both Spirit and Matter, Spirit can make people uncomfortable.  Angels, who are the messengers of God and who watch over you to help you your entire life are often summarily dismissed by those they serve.

This tendency has not always been so.  Perhaps it is because the reality of matter has become so invasive in this world that the presence of Spirit is denied.  It seems easier to deny the existence of Angels than it is to accept that the world is wider and more fantastic than what the five senses perceive.

Still, people long for the comfort of Angels.  They cry out for the aid of Angels.  They use Angel cards for guidance and desire the assurance of God’s grace and awareness through their trials and tribulations.  They hope that Angels are real even though they dare not believe.

Many people, when you speak to them of Angels recall their childhood experiences.  It is not unusual for a child, around the age of 7 to have an Angelic visitation that reveals the mysteries and direction for their life.  This event often requires prompting even to be remembered.

I wrote about this phenomenon in an article: Open Your Heart to Your Childhood Angelic Message.

What is amazing to me is how universal this experience is; and how frequently it can be completely forgotten. Forgotten even as someone struggles with finding their life’s purpose; that is most often the subject of the childhood angelic vision.  Remembering, and opening to the Presence of Angels in your life is life empowering.

Spirit vs. Matter

It is interesting that while focusing on living your life, you can ignore such a significant part of the world, Spirit.  Matter is interpreted as “real,” while perceptions of Spirit are often labeled as “unreal.”

That may be why the words of an ancient mantra from the writings of the Ageless Wisdom declare:

“May I be led from darkness into Light, from the unreal to the real, from death to immortality?”

Sadly, the overemphasis on the material parts of life make Spiritual truths and Spiritual experiences harder and harder to understand.  It is as if the compass to guide people between these worlds has been lost in the annals of time.

To limit your perception of the world to only the world of matter
is to deny much of what is most mysterious and most glorious about life.
       – Genevieve Gerard

Meditation in the stillness, quiet contemplations, and dreams are ways that you can listen to the guidance of your Soul, or experience the Presence of Angels.

The dreams which reveal the supernatural are promises and messages that God sends us directly: they are nothing but His Angels, His ministering spirits, who usually appear to us when we are in a great predicament.
       – Paracelsus

To deny the realm of Angels and the world of Spirit is foolish.  Although the Ageless Wisdom teaches that there is a veil that separates the world of Angels from the material world, that veil has been thinning as part of the transition in the consciousness of humanity.

The cries and need of humanity have moved heaven to grant greater awareness and understanding of the realm of Angels and the realm of the Soul.  This shift in perception is a part of the evolution of humanity over the next phase of planetary life.

Those who, as children, had an awareness of Angelic beings are able, through meditation and prayer, to find that the Presence of Angels is becoming more accessible.  This change is an integral part of the plan for humanity.

More and more, as books about Angels are published, and more and more as Angel cards are created, the reality of the realm of Angels finds its way into humanities understanding.

The near stillness recalls what is forgotten, extinct angels.
       – Georg Traki

Angels are real.  The fact that you do not often see them with your eyes does not mean that they are not present.  That you do not see them is not important.  You can feel them and sense them in the stillness.

Commune With Angels

When you wish to connect, and perceive the Spirit World, while you are in the consciousness of the material world, a shift in your attention is required.  It is not the Angels who need that change but your personality, your emotional needs, your ego and the aspects of your “lower self.”  Otherwise, even though full heavenly hosts surround you, you can ignore them, see nothing and feel nothing.

Angels are attracted to humanity whenever you reach out to your Soul when you pray or meditate when you are open to the world of Spirit and quiet your mind.
      – Genevieve Gerard

That is why I instruct you when reaching for communion with your Soul or the Angels to first “Calm your mind, open your heart and Invite the Light.”

Since your Soul and the Angels share communicating with you through soft and still impressions, I always advise that you have beside you a special journal to write and record the direction or wisdom you have received in your meditations.

I have found the path to the awareness of your Soul and the way to commune with Angels is similar.   Both your Soul and Angels reside in the awareness of Spirit and therefore require some transition in your consciousness to be available to you.

Meditation is the most useful tool for coming into contact and communication with Angels.  However, let us not forget that Angels are automatically attracted by prayer and rituals that invoke spiritual experiences.  That is why places of worship are often so imbued with Angelic Presence that they can be felt or sensed without conscious calling upon Angels.

Detecting the Presence of Angels is often the unexpected blessing of spending quiet time in contemplation in the great worship houses in the world.  Over the years and centuries, these citadels of worship have called the Angels.  The atoms of these places have become infused with Angelic Presence in ways that make the awareness of the realm of Angels more accessible.

Angels come with your invitation and invocation.  Their presence is subtle most of the time.  You may sometimes have an impression that is on the edge of seeing, or you may feel the subtle movement of air that is the gentle breeze of an Angel’s wing. Let me know your thoughts on this!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Light A Candle For Hope

Light A Candle for Hope

Read Light A Candle For Hope by Genevieve Gerard

Recently, the influx of spiritual energies has undergone a major shift for our planet.  As such we are seeing a period begin in which subtle energies will be intensified.  As always, energy follows thought, but as we enter this new period that principle will become even more powerful.  It is increased in power to allow those who work in the Light to have greater influence in bringing about the healing of the planet.  That same principle is at work bringing energy to all thoughts.

The most dangerous and one of the darkest thoughts is fear.  As people focus their energies on fear, they increase the danger of what they fear coming into manifestation.  Because of the fear, people take the actions of a few radicals and pass judgment on an entire culture.

In these times of global uncertainty, the fear adds power to the sense of shortage and lack.  Because of the fear and sense of lack, people refuse to share.  Because of the fear and sense of lack people hoard what wealth they have rather than investing.  Because of the fear markets drop and because the markets drop people become more fearful.  Thus, the fear creates a self-perpetuating spiral of despair.

People cling to their money instead of spending it, thus shutting down the engines of commerce that create jobs and prosperity for all.  Thus, the transcending of fear and replacing it with hope will work on a subtle level to resolve our current crisis.

Faith and trust are the antidotes to fear.  Remaining in the moment is the key to conquering fear.  The moment is the secret to transcending fear.

Disciples on the path, people of faith and workers in the Light have long known that learning to transcend fear is one of the most important and most empowering of the spiritual lessons.
        – Genevieve Gerard

When one has learned to transcend fear many new and exciting possibilities open before you.  You dare to dream and dare to hope and dare to do.

Although the concept of transcending fear seems simple; one should not confuse simple with easy.  To transcend fear, especially in the midst of genuinely frightening news and world circumstances is a challenge of the spirit.  It is a challenge of faith.  And today it is a call to action for those who work in the Light to demonstrate a life of faith. It is a call to action to be a beacon of hope in the world.

In the link below, I offer a powerful 10-minute “I Am Feeling Freemeditation that can help you learn how to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts for less than $9.
I Am Feeling Free Meditation Download by Genevieve

As St. Francis said:

We cannot fight against the night! But we can light a candle.

As a single candle can dispel the darkness so a single thought can dispel the fear.

So let us each light a candle for hope and as we do so have a thought of hope.

Let us each light a candle to conquer fear, both our own and that of others.

And let us do this once each day; an act of faith and an act of hope.

As a call to action for those who work in the Light, as a call to action for people of faith, let us light a candle with intention each day as an act of faith and an act of hope.

If for just the moment of lighting the candle you are able to transcend your fear and focus on faith and hope you will be working to defeat the fear that is crippling the planet.  For whatever time you are able to transcend your own fear, you will be helping others and working to heal the planet transcend the energy of fears.  Each moment you are able to focus on the Light, the Light will build and multiply.  With each candle lit the Light will magnify.

This simple act of faith and hope is something you can do to make the world better.

This simple act is powerful in its very simplicity.

Today, as you light a candle to symbolically transcend your own fear you are helping to defeat the energy of fear.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.
        – Robert H. Schuller

As you light a candle to focus on your own hope you are igniting the energy of hope for everyone.

Make A Difference

As you light a candle, you give power to the thought that you can make a difference.

As you focus on your own faith, the peace it brings is shared with others.

The more people light the candle of hope and light the candle of faith the more we are working to dispel the darkness of fear.

It does not take long, it doesn’t cost much, but it is a powerful symbol that we are able to transcend our fears, that we are able to hope, that we are a people of faith.

We send out many thoughts by the internet.  If each person sends this thought to just 10 people the networks of the World Wide Web can burn bright with the energy of hope.  Throughout the planet, people of Goodwill can join in the defeat of fear and despair with this simple act, with these simple thoughts.

Moreover, you can have NO fear.  If you do not send this out, nothing bad will happen to you.

Free Gift of Abundance

As a companion to this article, I have also published on my website a free twelve-minute audio meditation that includes an invocation to magnetic attraction.  The invocation for magnetic attraction is also available in a written format as a PDF.  You can download these all here.

These gifts are given in the hope and intention to bring joy to your life that you may live your life, more abundantly.

In the Light,

Genevieve Gerard

Childhood Angelic Message

Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message

Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message article by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels

There is, among those who identify themselves as spiritual, a common childhood experience.

This common childhood experience seems to be an early conscious awareness of the Soul as a presence and force in their life. It appears to be, most often an experience that occurs around the age of seven.  It may be interpreted, especially by the adults in the child’s life, as an episode of childhood imagination and sadly dismissed and discounted.

As such, it is often forgotten.

Angels often appear in our lives and just wait for us to say hello.
        – Katrina Mayer

When you begin to talk about Angels, it’s incredible how many people suddenly remember the experience.  It is almost as if when you open your mind and your heart to the awareness of Angels the memory gets unlocked.

What I have found most significant about unlocking this childhood memory is the importance it holds in your adult life.

This experience is often a forecasting and clarifying of the purpose of your life.  This event of foretelling and guiding is frequently described as a sensation of being so completely loved and so completely supported that the fullness of the heart can barely be contained.

Most people who describe this childhood memory have tears in their eyes.  The sense of feeling loved so unconditionally becomes a cherished memory that is re-affirming.  The guiding message and insights shared, for many, confirms a belief in God.

This angelic appearance and guiding message have for some long been cherished and pondered in their heart. Some seem to have forgotten this experience, but once they recall and remember it, find a sense of meaning and direction that is both life affirming and profound.

What is fascinating to observe is how such an intense experience can be forgotten and dismissed.  What is sad is that the answer you may have been searching for your whole adult life is often whispered to you by an Angel in your youth and then dismissed or forgotten.

Read my Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message article

 

You might not think that is possible, but I have found it to be such a common experience that it seems necessary to talk about that childhood experience.  Then it is important to consider its meaning and purpose in your life.  I have after the memory is revealed, heard people wonder “how could I have forgotten that?”

The relief and assurance that accompanies the memory can be life transforming.  With the memory comes the reassurance that you are not alone.  The relief of that realization is profound.  Consider that this message about the purpose of your life can often be life changing.

 

There are lessons and revelations available in the process of both forgetting and remembering.  The discounting and discarding of your childhood experience by adults and the influence of “conscious reality” is enlightening.

IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS

There are a few thoughts and observations that are important you understand.

  1. You are not alone in your life.
  2. Your Angels have been with you since the beginning of your life.
  3. Your Soul is the Divine spark of you that remains a source of unconditional love and grace throughout your life.
  4. Your Soul and your Angels reside together in the etheric plane.  Their substance is of energy and Light, a different creation or composition than the world of matter.

Many children find it easy to believe in an experience of the presence of what is invisible in the world.  In childhood the veil between the material world and the spiritual world is thin.  Children are born with an understanding and awareness that there is more to life than just the experience of the five senses.

Over time, that awareness of the dual nature of themselves as a being of both Soul and matter is all too often carefully and critically trained out of them.  Parental fears of what it might mean or how others might interpret it limit many childhood experiences.  Criticism and judgment ultimately cause a rejection of the truth and awareness with which they are born.

So much of becoming aware of the presence of Angels in our lives is a process of remembering and accepting what we knew to be real as children.
            – Genevieve Gerard

There are a special time and special event that often happen in your youth (a lot of times around the age of seven.)  This experience is uniquely empowering and revealing to remember as an adult.  Most often this event is a contact and communication with your guardian angel.  It is a starting point to a relationship that could be fostered to support and sustain you through your entire life.

What is most significant about this childhood meeting is that it is so life affirming and life changing.  When you remember the content of the message that is delivered by your guardian Angel about the purpose of your life it can provide a sense of purpose and direction.  In my many years of counseling and life guidance coaching, or as someone recently identified it “Soul Coaching,” finding your Soul purpose in life is inspiring.

The more clarity with which you can visualize and understand the purpose of your life the more empowering it is.  The more you can transcend your fears to achieve and manifest your dreams the more successful you can be.

So, this angelic childhood encounter of life guidance is critical.  It is important to remember this special blessing and, therefore, worth taking some time in meditation to consider.

For many just realizing that an experience that they have held deeply in their hearts was real is enough to unlock the memory.

For others, the habit of denying the reality of angelic presence has become deeply ingrained.  Even, when as adults they begin to explore the reality of the presence of Angels in the world and their lives, that parental voice that this event was just childish imagination might be a challenge to transcend.

If you are one of those people who was criticized or even reprimanded for your imagination as a child, it may help you to understand that imagination is a portal to the realm of angelic presence.  Angels can cross into the world of matter at times, but it is not where they reside.  Their substance, their guidance, and their messages are gentle promptings that work through the intuition and the imagination.

Their voice is a whispered prompting that often flashes so quickly across your mind that you need to quiet your mind chatter even to hear it.  The voice of your angels and the promptings of your Soul are often only heard in the silence of prayer, meditation or contemplation.  There they respond to your invitation and invocation.

In fact, it is during this childhood visitation that your Angel can reveal your Soul purpose.  It is one of the very few times in your life where those who remember the encounter may report a voice accompanying the revelation.  If you are someone who experiences communication with the Angels you know that most often their communication is telepathic and not frequently accompanied by sounds that can be perceived by your material senses.

It also seems significant to observe that among those who remember and report this visitation event, it often is at an age when you are too young to be able to write insightful notes to yourself.  This divine message is written on your heart.  It is meant to be pondered in your heart.

Remembering the guidance received from your Guardian Angel depends on opening your heart and your mind as you ponder.

USING MEDITATION

Below is a meditation link to help you remember the advice you received as a child from your Guardian Angel.

Meditation is the most efficient way to open the threshold between the material world and the realm of spirit where the Angels reside wince it is where your Soul calls home.

I mention your Soul for two reasons:

  1. First, opening to the touch of your Soul is a dynamic way to transform your life.
  2. Second, is that there is a very special relationship that exists between your Guardian Angel and your Soul as partners to support you in your earthly life, from the heavenly realm.

So to come into greater awareness of your Guardian Angel and to have the increased awareness of the Presence of your Soul, use meditation as the bridge.

To meditate upon or to remember and clarify the childhood guidance you received, it is as always wise to prepare.  Since in this meditation, you have the intention of revealing guidance about the purpose of your life I recommend some preparatory steps.

  1. Get your journal or, at least, some paper and a pen and place it next to where you will sit to meditate. That is often important so you can record and remember the insights and impressions you receive in meditation.
  2. It is often helpful to take some steps to make the space sacred. It can be as simple or complex as you like, but this focus declares your intention to open your mind to the realm of Angels and your Soul.
  3. You might wish to light a candle or burn some incense or have a crystal’s energy to be infused from this meditation.
  4. These little rituals are sometimes helpful in realizing that meditation is a time apart from you ordinary consciousness. It is a special time designated for greater awareness and understanding.
  5. Then consider your intention to remember the guidance of your Guardian Angel and be open to gain the insight and wisdom of your Soul about the Higher purpose for your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

To The Least of These My Brethren

To The Least of These My Brethren

Read To The Least of These My Brethren article by Genevieve Gerard

While in my heart Celebrating the Canonization and Sainthood of Mother Teresa, now Saint Teresa by Pope Francis, I was listening to a video about her life where she held up the hand of her guest and counted off the five words “You did it (un)to me.”

I was touched that as we look at her life, her strength and her service, she was motivated and driven that every act of kindness, every service she performed in the “black hole of Calcutta” where she worked to aid the poorest of the poor; those whose lives were discarded was an act of Love that she performed to the least of these “my brethren” because she saw in them the Divine Light.

I had never heard that story before.

I had written the article below recently about living a life in service to others by seeing in them, “inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me,” as instructed by Jesus (in the King James Bible version.)

Realizing that Saint Teresa of Calcutta, known for most of my life as Mother Teresa lived by those five words (You, Did, It, To, Me as a way to explain the five gospels) demonstrates how powerful those five words can be.

The story I share here, about my grandmother will hopefully demonstrate alone with Saint Teresa’s canonization that this instruction by Jesus was not an impossible task, but rather a way we can each decide to walk the world in Love, service, and fellowship with one another.

Here is a shorter video I found with Mother Teresa explaining the
5 Finger Prayer:

Let her Love and her service inspire people around the world to realize that what she did in her life each and every one of us can do.

Although we may never be declared a Saint we can follow the teachings of these five words of Jesus and the marvelous example of the life and work of Saint Teresa.  We can live a meaningful life, a blessed life and be a blessing to those we encounter on our journey through life.

Some of us may feel the tasks ahead are beyond us.  Indeed, we are told that Mother Teresa felt the vast poverty she was sent by her convent to minister to was beyond her, but in her daily walk with Christ as a demonstration of Love, she became a beacon of Light for the entire world.

Parables have been a method of spiritual teachers throughout the ages.  Much like the tradition of a Zen Koan, a parable is a story for you to consider and ponder the deeper truth and lesson being offered.  The lesson of a parable must be pondered in your heart as it is considered in your mind.  Ponder on this.

The guidance of a parable is revealed through your inner wisdom through a sense of knowing and what has the resonance of a ring of truth to it.  Often, it is the very pondering of what the teacher meant that gives the greatest spiritual insight.

The Bible phrase above found in Matthew 25:40 is a parable.  In the simple phrase “Yeah though you have done it for the least of these my brethren” is a profound life guidance statement that is often ignored by those who say they follow Jesus.  This little line in this simple parable ignites many questions that are worthy of pondering and considering.

In my life, I was blessed by a wonderful grandmother who had given this passage enough gravitas and consideration that it guided her whole life.  I cannot remember and count all of the unwed mothers who migrated through my grandmother’s home over the years.  The young women who were often disowned or cast out by their families found a haven in my grandmother’s home.

One by one she saw the woman through their pregnancy and birth then helped them find honorable and respectable men who would marry them and become a father to their child.  As a child observing this, I do not know the details of how she managed to accomplish this task.

Mostly, I remember the often bittersweet joy of the young woman moving on to a better life that was mixed with my grandmother missing the baby who had been born into this situation.

Likewise, my grandmother had a neighbor who had transferred the deed to her home to her son so that when she passed on he would not have to pay inheritance tax.  He then immediately sold the house out from under her, thus rendering the woman homeless.  The result was my grandmother took her in.  They were not friends, only neighbors.  In fact, they never even addressed one another by their first names.  I only knew this resident in my grandmother’s home as Mrs. Malloy.

My grandmother housed and cared for Mrs. Malloy for many years until caring for her became beyond my grandmother’s health abilities.  She then found a home that could provide the care, Mrs. Malloy, now needed.  She then visited her weekly until Mrs. Malloy passed.

When as a child I would question the reasoning behind my Grandmother’s generosity she explained it through this biblical passage.  In her mind and heart, each of these people who had found themselves in unfortunate circumstances was cared for as if they were Jesus knocking on the door of her heart.  She welcomed them and treated them as if they were Him.

This extraordinary example of living that biblical passage has had a profound influence in my life and is one which I have pondered throughout my life.  What I have come to understand and realize is that this is a complex lesson.  The answers are not simple.

A whole myriad of factors must be considered that are related to issues of personal responsibility.  There are life lessons to be learned from every situation that is not yours or mine to disrupt through charity.

One of the clearest of these lessons is the concept of seeing the Divine spark within each person that led Jesus to say in this parable “I was sick, and you cared for me; I was in prison, and you visited me; I was hungry, and you fed me.”  We find this Divine spark within those who are even the “least of these my brethren.” 

It is in serving and caring for others with Love, while still empowering them to co-create in their own life the fulfillment of their dreams and desires, which you can best be of service.

The respect and honor you give to even the least of these the brethren of the Christ, and the least of these your brethren a demonstration of how brotherhood works.  It is through the brotherhood of men and sisterhood among woman that you best acknowledge the Divine spark that is within each of us.  This acknowledgment is captured in the phrase of the ancient greeting of Namaste – The Divine spark in me honors and recognizes the Divine spark in you.

In this way we are all brothers and sisters, we are all the children of God.  We are One Humanity.

None of us is an island, our separateness and separation are an illusion.  We cannot hurt one another without hurting ourselves.  Likewise, when we help and serve another, we help ourselves. This connection is real no matter how much we may strive to think in selfish and separate ways.

Deep in your heart and more importantly deep in your Soul this truth is known.  No matter how individual life may seem, there is a unity of connection we all have with one another.

The biblical phrase that guided so much of my Grandmother’s life and service was “Yeah though you have done it unto the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me.”  For my grandmother, every unwed mother who traveled through her care and her homeless neighbor were all part of her expression of love and service to the Christ.

This living example of the active principle of love had a profound influence on my life that guides my life situations today.  I am so grateful that this loving woman was in my life.  Her example and love have been a constant source of strength in my life journey.

I am eternally grateful for the blessing of her presence in my life and her tireless example of what love and service mean.

Although I have known many wonderful spiritual teachers throughout my life, my grandmother living her life by that simple phrase from the book of Matthew 25:40 was more of an example of following the teachings of Jesus than the many sermons I have heard in my life.

She truly “walked her talk,” and I was so blessed by the opportunity to observe someone who “walked their talk” in my formative years.  Her living expression of Love and Grace has been ongoing support (even though her body has passed on) and I am grateful for the blessing of her example and her love in my life.

In all of her expressions of Love and Service, to the various unwed mothers who cycled through her home, I recall a complete lack of judgment toward the woman she brought under her protection.  She opened her heart and her home to help them get their life back on track, so a mistake was not the definition of their future.

Her demonstration of grace and her example of forgiveness and especially self-forgiveness have been an example of what forgiveness means and the unconditional nature of love.

For my Grandmother, it was Christ that she served and Christ who knocked on the door to her heart and Christ she housed and cared for when she gave comfort and shelter to those in need.  I can only marvel at what a beautiful demonstration of love her life was for with gratitude in my heart for having been blessed by the love and support of such an amazing disciple of Christ.

I am blessed to share her story with you with love and invite you to open your heart and Do It Unto Me.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity

The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity In Miraculous Ways

Read The Heavens Respond To The Cries of Humanity article by Genevieve Gerard

 

This article is a part of my ongoing series on Angels and Meditation.

This morning the revelations of my meditations are focused upon the way that the heavenly hosts respond to humanities prayers for help.

Call Upon the Divine

When an individual, or even more powerfully and profoundly a group, call upon the Divine for healing or Divine intervention with a world problem, the prayers and invocations create an activation of energy to which all Divine beings respond.

That response is always aligned with Divine Will and the overall plan for earth’s evolution. In the heavenly hosts, where the Will of God is known, all response is compatible with that plan. In all miraculous responses, the highest good of all is seen and considered. The Angels always work from that perspective. It is their nature and their commitment.

Within that scope miracles can be activated and empowered in response to humanities prayers and need. Miracles are the mysterious and at times seemingly magical power of prayer and invocation. This is why prayer works.

Miracles, although they may appear to exist outside of humanities scientific understanding, are always compatible with both the Will of the Creator and the Creator’s Divine Plan. More and more revelations of truths are being revealed by science that may explain how energy works to explain what has heretofore only been understood as miraculous.

These profound mysteries involve a connection between humanity and its evolving consciousness and the angelic kingdom. God did not create humankind and then leave it to its own devices to struggle through the eons of time isolated and adrift.

Throughout the history of humanity, there are world teachers and world saviors that have come to reveal spiritual truths previously unknown or unclear to humanity. No matter what religion or dogma shapes the messages of these exalted beings, or how limited humanities understanding of these truths may be, this outreach from the Creator for a relationship is ongoing. The sad fact is that all too frequently people use these revelations and guidance as an excuse to divide humanity.

That spiritual revelation is used to make war rather than to focus upon Gods Love to bring humanity into greater relationship with Him is a mystery.
              – Genevieve Gerard

The relationship between God and humankind is a covenant relationship that is best explained as an I-Thou Relationship.” The relationship is one that is embedded with Divine Love and filled with Divine Grace.

The relationship with humanity and the relationship with the Divine, and the unique dynamic that exists only between God as Father and humanity as the dual creation, as a Son of God and Son of Man, is both powerful and profound. The Divine spark that God gave to human beings breathed life into His creation. A creation that was made in His image and is unique in all of creation.

Inherent in this creation of man endowed with God’s Divine spark is the brotherhood of man. To use religion and relationship with God to divide people is a violation of every spiritual truth revealed by every spiritual guide, avatar or world savior who has every walked the earth to enhance God’s relationship with humanity.

The Divine spark that resides within every human being enables humankind to work and relate with God, not only as the creator but also as Jesus taught, as a Heavenly Father. This Father included free-will for humanity. This free will is a factor in humanities ongoing co-creator relationship with God and humanities constant need for forgiveness and Divine intervention.

Angels Respond to the Cries of Humanity

Whereas human beings enjoy their co-creative freedom, the Heavenly Hosts and Angels are eternally blended into the dictates of Divine Will. Certainly, this differentiation is significant when Angels respond to the cries of humanity.

Since the beginning of time on this planet, Angels have served as the messengers of the Divine to humanity. During the eons that have passed, Angels have followed their in-volutionary life path. As humanity has strived upon its evolutionary path, Angels have remained in the realm of spirit.

These paths, angelic and human have come together under the auspices of the Soul. When at the ensoulment of a new human life the aid and service of a Guardian Angel has been enlisted, there is a commitment to the life of that human being for assistance and protection. This relationship between a human being and a Guardian Angel has, over the eons created a bridge of awareness and consciousness.

Being a Guardian Angel for a human being, who has both the Divine spark of co-creation and free will is a sacrifice and service that the angelic kingdom offers as a manifestation of their nature as beings of Love, to serve humanity and God to help bring about the fulfillment of God’s plan for humanity.

This unique dynamic created a sacred relationship both activated and overseen by your Soul. The consequence of this merging of angelic consciousness into the co-creative, free-will aspects of human consciousness has resulted in a thinning of the veil that once separated human life and angelic life.

This has been accelerated by humanity calling upon the heavenly hosts for help and intervention in their lives. The Angels have responded and through that response and interaction have also learned and evolved their awareness and understanding of human life.

You Can Make A Difference

This expansion of consciousness of both humanity and Angels has created a greater awareness and understanding of both life expressions.

The Soul, your Soul, resides in the angelic realm. Your reach for the union with your Soul, the Divine Spark within you, is fostered by your desires, prayers, meditations, and invocations that help to blend further and fuse these energies.

The human effort of activating this merger of energies, through the invocation of personal will and meditation, have been rewarded by Divine Grace. Divine Grace is inherent in the human evolution process and an active force in revelation.

The merging of your human personality with your Soul opens the portal to the next stage in human evolution. Ponder on this.

Ancient Soul Mantram

It is to empower and enhance that integration that I offer you the ancient wisdom of the Mantra of the Soul for use in your meditations.

Mantram of the Soul – for Soul Infusion

 

Take a deep breath in and as you visualize the energy rising up to a radiant point of Light above your head.

 

Then say:

 

I Am the Soul
And also Love I Am
Above all else, I am will and clear design
My Will is now to lift the lower self into the Light Divine
That Light, I Am
Therefore, I must descend to where the lower-self awaits my coming.

 

Now breathing deeply, slowly and evenly, visualize the energy descending from the Soul, down the central energy channel through all of the chakras.
From the crown to the ajna
From the ajna to the throat
From the throat to the heart
From the heart to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the sacral center
And from the sacral center to the base of the spine.

 

Then circulate the energy back up
From the base of the spine to the sacral center
From the sacral center to the solar plexus
From the solar plexus to the heart
From the heart to the throat
From the throat to the ajna
From the ajna to the crown
And from the crown back up to the Soul.

 

Repeat this pattern circulating the energy back through all of the chakras and down to the base of the spine and back up three or more times.

 

When you feel the energies have merged, continue by saying:

 

That which intends to lift
And that which invokes the lifting
Are now at One
Such is my Will

 

Conclude by sounding the OM 3 times

 

          – adapted from the works of the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul

For a greater understanding of how Mantras can empower your meditation, please read my article on The Power of Mantras.

You will find other articles on my website that contain mantras for the purpose of experiencing and integrating your Soul with your personality, which is a major step in the process of your spiritual growth and enlightenment.

As you reach for the touch of your Soul in your meditations, you will be actively and consciously working to bring the Angels into greater cooperation and support to humanity.

This can only be accomplished by a human being with the activation of your free will through your role as a co-creator with the Divine as you become increasingly aware of your Soul as a part of your full power and potential as a human being.

I encourage and urge you to meditate upon this with a variety of the meditations offered in the related links below.

I also encourage and invite you to explore the relationship with your Guardian Angels through the related links below.

Keep calling for Divine intervention and when you use your meditations and prayers to reach your Soul or the realm of Angels, add your free will and co-creative efforts to a plan and purpose that is beyond your current understanding but can be revealed to you and transform and empower everyones life in surprising ways.

 

Namaste,

The Festival of Humanity

The Festival of Humanity

– World Invocation Day

Read about The Festival of Humanity in an article by Genevieve Gerard

There are Three Spiritual Festivals that are celebrated in the consciousness calendar every year.

The Three Festivals are aligned with and follow the lunar and astrological phenomena of the rotation of the planets and the stars.  They are observed through the cycle of the Moon as it navigates through the stars constellations.

The observation of these energetic cycles is very archetypal and ancient indeed.  In fact, the Church fathers used the influx of these energies in guiding the Church calendar when they determined that the celebration of Easter fell in the alignment of this energetic cosmic cycle in the first century.  The date of Easter is always celebrated on the First Sunday following the Full Moon in the astrological sign of Aries.

The very first in the cycle of the Three Spiritual Festivals is aligned with the ongoing work of the Christ in the world since His miracle of resurrection and accession to the Father.  These events are deep mysteries that have influenced humanity energetically in ways that transcend belief, faith, and human understanding.

The ways of God in His ongoing attempt to bring humanity into right relationship with Him are mysterious.  Although theologians and religion have a long tradition of creating a dogma that they require the faithful to espouse, the ways of the Divine are more wondrous and miraculous than is understood by most human consciousness at this time.

The fact that miracles are beyond understanding
is what makes them miracles.
      ~ Genevieve Gerard

The cosmic nature of God and His relationship with humanity is one of the great mysteries of human existence.

For all that mankind thinks that it knows, and understands is the confrontation that there is much that we do not know.  Within the human experience, there is a bond that exists between the human heart and Soul and the glorious Presence of the Divine, a bond of Love that can be experienced but never adequately explained.

This bond is found in a relationship; a relationship that exists between the Creator and the created.  That relationship has often been described, with such mysterious and lofty words as Grace or the Peace that passes understanding.  The very statement that this relationship is beyond human understanding opens your heart and mind to an attitude of an “I-Thou” relationship that relies upon communion and revelation from God into the deepest spark of Divinity within you, your Soul.

Full Moon Over The Beach

 

This mutually longed for relationship reveals the Divine purpose of the three great spiritual festivals.  During this time in the Cosmic calendar, marked by the cycle of earth’s Moon are a time of revelation.

The revelations are focused on greater understanding and awareness of energies that are coming to earth from the Mind of God and the Heart of God with the Will of God to bring about God’s plan of evolution for his creation humanity.

 

 

As has been true since the very first breath of creation, there is in the human experience Free Will.  That makes the energies of the three festivals available but only as much as you open your heart and mind to be receptive to the awareness through prayer, meditation and intuition to the promptings of your Soul.

Each of the three springtime spiritual festivals provides its own purpose and flow of energy by blending the aspects below:

Hierarchy

Love aspect of God

Festival of Resurrection

Aries

Shamballa

Will aspect of God

Festival of Wesak

Taurus

Humanity

Divine Intelligence

Festival of Humanity

Gemini

 

The Festival of the Resurrection

“I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule.”

The first is known as the Festival of the Resurrection.  This festival occurs right before Easter and is a celebration of the resurrection. The keynote is Love.

 

The Wesak Festival

“I see, and when the eye is opened, all is light.”

The second is the Wesak Festival.  It is held at the Taurus Full Moon.  The keynotes are wisdom & divine purpose.

Wesak is celebrated around the world and focuses upon the blending of the Wisdom of the Buddha and the Divine Love of the Christ blending and merging the energies of Love and Wisdom for humanity.

 

The Festival of Humanity

“I recognize my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow.”

The final celebration is at the Gemini Full Moon and is called the Festival of Humanity.  The keynote is Humanity, aspiring to God.

At this time and in the three days preceding and following the actual peak of the Full Moon, humanity receives the guidance and impressions of the prior full moon activations of the Christ’s resurrection energies, and the blessings of the Christ and Buddha’s blending of Love with Wisdom.

The Festival of Humanity (also known as the Festival of Goodwill) is a cosmic celebration of the dispersing of these energies to humanity as a whole.  This is sometimes also called the Festival of the Christ because the Ageless Wisdom tell us that the Christ in His ongoing role of World Savior sends forth to all His disciples on earth the energies they need to propel humanity throughout the next year to make the world a better place.

This blessing is mystical and yet emerges into the consciousness of all those faithful who are aligned with the Christ throughout the world, through the communion of the church and throughout the efforts of the Men and Woman of Goodwill known as the New Group of World Servers.

The empowerment of those who serve humanity with dedication are demonstrated through self-forgetfulness; harmlessness and right speech, for these, are the characteristics of a member of the New Group of World Servers.

At the time of the Festival of Humanity (World Invocation Day), the Hierarchy will, under the guidance of the Christ, let loose the will-to-good upon Humanity, producing seven great results:

7 Great Results

  1. Power will be given to the disciples of the world and the initiates among humanity so that They can direct efficiently and wisely the coming process of rebuilding.
  2. The will-to-love will stimulate the men and women of goodwill everywhere so that hatred will gradually be overcome and humanity will seek to live together cooperatively.
  3. The will-to-action will lead intelligent people throughout the world to inaugurate those activities which will lay the foundation for a new, better and happier world.
  4. The will-to-cooperate will steadily increase also. Men and women will desire and demand right human relations.
  5. The will-to-know and to think correctly and creatively will become an outstanding characteristic of the masses. Knowledge is the first step towards wisdom.
  6. The will-to-persist (which is an aspect of devotion and fixed idealism) will become a human characteristic – a sublimation of the basic instinct of self-preservation.
  7. The will-to-organize will further a building process which will be carried forward under the direct inspiration of the Hierarchy. The medium will be the potency of the will-to-good of the New Group of World Servers and the responsive goodwill of humankind.

To be a part of this service and work requires no dogma or belief, rather the heartfelt desire of service to humanity to make this world a better place.

At five p.m. across the world in every time zone, so this prayer chain circumnavigates the world every day, is a blessing that energetically supports this work and service.

I invite you to pause and take a moment to help empower humanity to make the transitions of consciousness that are unique to this moment in time and space.  By saying the blessing below daily, you will strengthen and empower those who work to transform the world.

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.

 

At five p.m. every day going forward, wherever you are, let us join our Soul Light with Love to the millions of those across the world who work to help humanity.

One of the amazing aspects of being a part of a Soul group is that you need not even be consciously aware of the group.  You, if you focus on love, light and service to humanity, are a part of this worldwide effort and the blessings invoked around the world by those conscious of this effort are available to you to support and empower your work and service.

At no other time in the year is the energy more powerfully available than at this Full Moon when the Festival of Humanity is celebrated in the heavens and on earth.

At this propitious period, take a little time to ponder on this and be receptive as you sit quietly and calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

A Universal Prayer for Peace

Read Universal Prayer For Peace by Genevieve Gerard

Divine Creator,

Today we join as a group to petition and pray for peace.

We know that by coming together and working together, we are attracting and activating Divine help and intervention

We ask that You:

Let our prayers become a mighty force to transform the world.

As we invoke Peace around the world, we are bold to imagine that blessing for all of your children everywhere.

We pray for Peace in our time as we recognize the deep need in all the world for the miracle of Divine intervention.

Too long has hate and fear marred the amazing creation we are on earth.

Too long has brother risen against brother in endless often meaningless wars.

It is through Love that we can know and experience your grace. 

It is through Love that our lives can be transformed.

It is through Love that we can find forgiveness for our most unforgivable errors.

It is through Love that this world can be a sacred place, a safe place for all of Your creation.

Fill the hearts and minds of all of humanity with Your Divine Love.

We ask that people everywhere see that separateness is an illusion and realize that they cannot harm another without harming themselves.

We pray that revenge and retribution are dissolved by the miracles of Grace and Forgiveness.

We pray that Your Love and Your Light enter the hearts and minds of people everywhere to provide the strength to live a different way.

Let our prayers and petitions for peace empower all those who work for peace across the globe.

Easter Ponderings on Resurrection

Easter Ponderings on Resurrection

Read Easter Ponderings on Resurrection article by Genevieve Gerard

On Easter, we celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.

There is perhaps no more miraculous event in the story of the life of Jesus than the resurrection. There is perhaps no part of Jesus’s story that fills the human heart with hope and promises more than the resurrection.

The very possibility of resurrection defies the laws of matter as we understand them. Resurrection is the ultimate victory over death. Resurrection is the triumph of spirit over matter. It is a mystery that is beyond our comprehension, and it is a mystery that is not explained in either the Bible or church teachings in any century or denomination. In spite of the inability to understand the miracle of resurrection, the very possibility and promise of it fill the human heart with joy.

During this time while churches across the planet celebrate with the powerful words “He is risen,” “He is risen indeed” it may be valuable to ponder upon what the resurrection says about the life of Jesus and what it says about our spiritual journey and spiritual responsibility. It is all too easy for you to dismiss the lessons of the life of Jesus as unrelated to your life. After all, He was the Son of God. He had an edge that you do not have.

From my very early forays into theology, it has been clear that what Jesus demonstrated in His life, His example and His mission was more than historical stories and miracle stories. These stories were an example and teaching that had relevance for how we were instructed to live our lives, to find our way in the spiritual journey.

There is no greater mystery in the life of Jesus than the miracle of resurrection. Even those of deep and unwavering faith can affirm that the resurrection was real and is real without understanding how it was possible.

I believe even Jesus’s most beloved disciples and the women who went to his tomb on Easter morning, may not have fully understood the resurrection at the time. Thomas, whose very name became associated with doubt, refused to believe in the resurrection unless he placed his hands into the wounds made by the crucifixion. Even though the story tells us, that Jesus was walking and teaching His disciples after his passion.

To understand both the miracle of the Resurrection and what was being demonstrated about the nature of life, we need to expand our understanding of the nature of life itself; and, more importantly, the nature of matter, the nature of consciousness and most importantly, the nature of the Soul.
        – Genevieve Gerard

In some ways, the event of Resurrection is entirely miraculous, testing and at times transcending our ability to believe. In some ways, the Resurrection is no more miraculous than the event of life itself. I believe to glimpse what Resurrection promises we must expand our understanding of the nature of life to way beyond our usual comprehensions. We must open our awareness to the eternal nature of our Soul, to the great potentiality of consciousness, and stop limiting our thinking to the dense matter of our physical vehicle.

If you are a Christian, think of the Christ, who came not to be served by others but to serve them in joy, in peace, and in generosity. For these things, these are not mere words, but acts, which go all the way, right up to their last breath. Even their death is a gift, and resurrection is born from this kind of death.
        – Jean-Yves Leloup

Much that is miraculous, much that is mysterious, becomes possible and more understandable when we assert the fact that although we have a body; we are as a consciousness much more than a body. For the Soul to manipulate the atoms of matter to create a physical body once the material body has deteriorated is a repetition of the events that the Soul engages in to bring into life and substance every child that is born. The principle is the same. It is the consciousness, or particularly the continuity of the consciousness that Christ brought to his resurrected body.

The miracle of life itself and the miracle of the resurrection is entirely under the direction of the Soul. What is to me the most important part of the Passion of Jesus is what it teaches us as spiritual beings about the relationship with our Soul. What Jesus demonstrated that we can use as an example for our own lives was complete obedience to not only the direction of His Soul but perfect obedience to Divine Will.

It is evident in the stories of His suffering in Gesthenemeny that He was coming from two very different perspectives. He was demonstrating both his personal life and His Soul life. Certainly he did not want to be arrested, scourged and crucified from his human perspective. Whether He as a personality knew or fully understood the importance of the next few days of His life is something that theologians will probably be discussing and arguing about for the next 2 thousand years.

What is important and significant is not if he had pre-knowledge of the significance of His sacrifice and all of the magical and mystical ramifications of it. What it seems is important is the obedience to His Soul and God that he demonstrated. That is a lesson that we can strive to achieve in our own lives and our own journey.

What is certainly clear if we examine the life of Jesus is that he was in touch with the direction and promptings of His Soul and through that relationship in an ever growing relationship with God who He came to regard not only as the Source of Love in his life but as His Heavenly Father. He taught us not only that “God is Love,” but also oneness with the Divine as He taught “I and the Father are One.” These are an understanding and awareness that only comes from the Soul. This is an understanding and awareness that is achievable by developing a relationship with your Soul.

It is a magnificent miracle of the human experience that we exist in a dual relationship with our material human body, with our emotions and our thoughts, while we have a Soul which is eternal. These different parts of our nature are revealed and direct our life in different ways. Indeed, learning to identify the prompting of your Soul from the desires of your personality is a big part of the spiritual journey. Learning to call upon and utilize the power of your Soul or the power of the Soul of another in healing is a lesson taught time and time again in the spiritual life, especially when your life is dedicated to others.

It is through surrender to the Soul that the body, emotions, mind, and integrating efforts of the personality can come into awareness of the eternal essence of your being.
        – Genevieve Gerard

In my Easter morning ponderings on the resurrection, I find it inescapable to realize that the miracle of resurrection is the secondary result of the surrender to the Soul. It is through surrender to the Soul that the body, emotions, mind, and integrating efforts of the personality can come into awareness of the eternal essence of your being.

Through a relationship with your Soul, especially in the decision to “let the Soul control” is a new awareness of how miracles are created. It is through the time you live and demonstrate the dual life of a disciple that the life and example of Jesus become most edifying and significant. It is through the expanded awareness that life and consciousness are not limited to your physical body that the whole concept of resurrection becomes a real possibility.

While what was demonstrated in the Resurrection remains beyond the strength and determination of most of us at the time of our death, stories are told throughout time of a loved one appearing to communicate after physical death, usually a message of love and reassurance to those they have left behind. If we consider the Resurrection of Jesus one more demonstration, one more instruction about the unlimited possibility and potentiality of life, and we open our hearts and minds actually to consider what all of this means, we are reassured that death has no victory, and the life of the Soul is eternal.

It is by pondering what the Resurrection demonstrated about the truth of life, the nature of life and the eternal nature of life that we are freed from the fears that our limited comprehension fosters.

The possibility and promise that Easter gives, even if we fail to understand it fully, is the joy and assurance that consciousness is eternal. We, as the children of God and the carriers of the spark of the Divine enjoy that eternity as a part of our birthright. In the Resurrection, the life of Jesus once more demonstrated to us, as he did throughout his life, what we truly are. So we celebrate with joy the life and the teachings of this master of enlightenment, pondering what his resurrection teaches us about our life, our own Soul and the awesome potential of our own consciousness. Let there be light!

Namaste,

     Genevieve

When Angels Come to Earth

When Angels Come to Earth

Read When Angels Come to Earth by Genevieve Gerard

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

To share with you the mystery and magnificence of the presence of Angels in human experience, I find that I must discuss the subtle role that angels play to bring a unique energy into manifestation.

A part of the angelic mission and purpose, when they choose to come to the earthly realm, is to embody an energy that needs to be manifested in humanity.

It is an act of love and service to humanity that these angelic beings take on this mission.  The celestial beings that focus on a specific and particular energy are often called Devas since the choice to embody a specific energy is a mysterious part of how the angelic realm (a realm of pure energy) works to create energy and influence matter.

The heavenly realm reflects Divine Will at the source of all creation.  The heavenly hosts have an opportunity to serve as the messengers to help with the manifestations of Divine Light and Divine Love that it is the Will of God to provide for humanity.

This choice is one of great service and great sacrifice for an angel whose substance is pure Light and pure Love.  To choose to embody a particular energy requires the angel moving from what is unlimited by either time or space to a specific focus.  This is, by definition contained and, therefore, limited.  It is a sacrifice fueled by Divine Love and empowered by Divine Will.  It is the work for which the angels were created, so it is simultaneously their burden and their joy.

Angels are spirits, flames of fire; they are higher than man, they have wider connections.
         – Matthew Simpson

This inner working of the angelic kingdom is not something that is explored and expressed very often.  The mechanism is the same as what is manifested for an angel to become an individualized guardian angel.  That is a powerful and personalized service.  This is different in a subtle way because it is more impersonal.

The transition to becoming available to the needs of humankind is a somewhat different service for an angel as their influence is more generalized and I imagine may be less rewarding since the result is more general and diffused.

For the angels, infused with Divine Love and directed only by Divine Will, there is a willingness to serve the Lord of creation to a task trusting in Divine Wisdom.  This need of humanity or a human individual becomes the life work and the life purpose of that angelic expression. 

As the veils between the planes of the angelic realm are thinning, more and more awareness of angelic presence is coming into human consciousness.  Angels are coming into a greater understanding of the human experience, as humans are increasing their knowledge and awareness of the angelic realm.

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 your temporal and spiritual affairs.
       – Saint Francis de Sales

This is a dynamic transition in the overall Divine plan of evolution.  Human consciousness is evolutionary.  Angelic consciousness is in-volutionary.  What all of this means, especially in this amazing transformation that is being revealed in this time of change is just now beginning to be revealed.

More and more individuals are becoming conscious of angelic beings and their presence and influence on human experience.  Angels are being called upon more and more with the asking for help and guidance through the extensive use of angel cards and the invocation of angelic presence in prayers, there is a response of love and compassion.

This response is wider than just a response from your Guardian Angel.  The heavenly hosts are hearing and responding to the invitation from the human hearts for greater companionship.

Since the essence of angels is composed of Love, this increased invitation and invocation of humanity for the presence of angels increases the awareness of the blending of Divine Love with the human experience.

This building of an energetic bridge from the angelic kingdom to the human material world has a profound influence.  Since your Soul is composed of the same substance as the angels and is known as your solar angel, this calling forth of the presence of angels builds more and more energetic etheric substance along the rainbow bridge.  This not only helps and enhances the ability of angels to respond to your call but forges a pathway along what is known as the Antahkarana (the rainbow bridge) for you to have a greater conscious awareness of the wisdom, the Love and the Power of your Soul.

This greater awareness and greater merging of angelic presence open the human consciousness to a vast world that lies beyond the limitations and restrictions of the material world.  Learning to listen to the soft, gentle promptings of your Soul opens you to a greater perspective of what is real.

Imagination is a gift of your higher mind and is powerful and dynamic.  It fuels your understanding and appreciation of a reality that lies beyond the five senses of matter.

Intuition, empathy, and telepathy all exist in this space beyond the limitations of your five senses.  Learning to sense, to hear, to see and to feel these subtle energies are a part of claiming enlightened awareness.

The essence of life is beyond matter.  Love, joy, peace are all real powers that have a profound impact upon and influence in your life.  Angel’s help these subtle energies manifest in a way that can be more easily experienced by your human mind and sensed emotionally.

At times, great angels choose to come to earth and bring with them specific energies that humanity needs.  This is for these presences an act of Love and an act of service, for with their descent to earth and the material world, they become a source of Divine Love and amazing grace as an active force to manifest God’s overall plan on earth.

These great angels are aligned with Divine Will and Divine Love by their very nature.  They serve as God’s emissaries.  The individual energies that they embody and deliver to humanity can become known to you through revelation in meditation.

Angels offer the energies that they have been charged to bring into human awareness in a subtle way that relies upon those who reach out to experience their gifts of the spirit, like telepathy and imagination.  A part of the expanding of your consciousness to listen with your heart to the whisper of their energetic impression, which is what brings about the healing they bring and the help they offer to humankind.

This blending and opening from the angelic realm to human consciousness is a special blessing.  Many of the great Devas and Angels who appear to help humanity are emissaries of the Divine Mother, the female part of the heart of God and are responding to the prayers of humanity.

These great presences can be touched in meditation and may provide healing or help in response to humankind’s needs.   They are a part of the energetic interaction of heaven and earth, God and man, the world of the visible and the invisible.

In times of exalted meditation, they may reveal to you their name or their purpose and, when that happens, that is an invitation for you to invite and invoke the extraordinary energy they bring into your own life for your benefit and blessing.

Their presence, especially when revealed in meditation can have not only significant healing power but can help bring into manifestation and conscious awareness energies that can help humanity face times of great challenge.

Because these great Angels and Devas are of the substance of divine love, they manifest as spirits who are richly imbued with the essence that they are charged to help bring into manifestation.

When their name and purpose are revealed, you are invited to tap into that energy.

To empower you to receive these angelic presences in meditation I am naming a few who have been shown to me in meditation that you can call upon and connect with:

The Spirit of Perpetual Joy (is a vast and powerful angel)

The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium

The Goddess of Grace

The Spirit of Compassionate Forgiveness

These great Angels have opened their presence so you can experience the blessings that they have chosen to embody for humanity.

Meditation on Angelic Presence

Meditation on Angelic Presence

Read about The Angel of Perpetual Joy by Genevieve Gerard

To invite angelic presences through meditation, I encourage you to enter into a receptive and meditative state.  To prepare for receiving her angelic presence, I advise you to have at hand your journal to record the thoughts and impressions you receive.

There is great power in knowing the name of the Angel whose energy you wish to invoke.  As you call upon her, you are issuing an invitation.

Consciously invoke and invite your Soul to be your guide.

To enter into this meditative experience suspend all judgment as you:

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

    Listen into the silence with your inner ear.  Open your heart to the presence of Divine Love as it fills you and sustains you.

    Align with the Light of your Soul.

Identify with the Light, Love and Power of your Soul by affirming:

I am my Soul, I am One with my Soul.

Then invite into your conscious awareness the healing power, loving presence and transforming joy of the Angel whose blessing you need.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

 

Imagine your Soul in the realm of Angels as a radiating golden light 3-to-6 feet above your head.

See your chakras open and receptive from the top of your head (your crown chakra.)

Integrating your crown chakra with your Ajna center and the Alta Major center located at the top of your spine.

Then, using your imagination and your intention visualize this energy of light and love and power moving down your central energy channel (2-3 inches) behind your physical spine.

As the energy descends like a golden substance through all of your chakras, it attunes and aligns them for health and vitality.

You may become aware of a significant expansion of your heart energy.

You may feel a calming and balancing in your solar plexus.

Let this healing energy descend through your sacral center balancing as it descends to the base of your spine, your root chakra.

Breathing quietly and calmly letting this energy circulate and then rise and return to the point of light 3-to-6 feet above your head that represents the light of your Soul.

Let the energy circulate freely under the direction of your Soul and the guidance of The Spirit of Perpetual Joy (or whichever angelic presence you have invoked.)

Sense the Angel and identify with it.  Let its love and joy flow over you.

When the energy circulation feels complete, sit quietly and receptively, pondering and recording the impressions you have received.

Prayer For Peace

Pray For Peace

Read the Prayer For Peace by Genevieve Gerard

I find it appropriate to post this original peace prayer on November 11th at 11 am because of the historical implication of 11-11, a day of remembrance (the ending of World War I) and the harnessing of its power to fuel thoughts of Peace.

It is also a time to tap into the new moon (new beginnings) and full moon energies and honor our veterans, past and present on Veterans Day.

Please follow me in a prayer for peace in the world.

Prayer for Peace 11-11

Heavenly Father, Divine Mother, Beloved Son Known as the Prince of Peace,

On this day, we come together as humankind, with the intention to invoke Peace in our time.  We join our hearts and our minds knowing that together our power to heal and transform the world is magnified.

As we pray, we take a minute to imagine the amazing blessing that peace could bring to all of our brothers and sisters across the globe.

May the grace of forgiveness heal the planet of thoughts of retribution and revenge as new awareness and understanding of brotherhood emerges in human consciousness.

We know this work of peace is a mighty work, so we call upon the help of all the Angels and Archangels who have dedicated their lives to humankind.

Our heartfelt gratitude springs forth to all who join in this worldwide effort to make peace possible.

Our joy becomes contagious, and our Love infused with Divine Love as we take this day to pray. Let there be Peace on Earth!

 

Amen & Namaste,

   Genevieve

Let There Be Peace On Earth Meditation

Introduction to How Miracles Are Created

Introduction to How Miracles Are Created

Read Introduction to How Miracles Are Created article by Genevieve Gerard

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

Miracles are something that seem important to understand.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Intention, Personal and Divine Will

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Role Of The Soul In Miracles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Meditation Is The Portal

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

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

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

A Meditation to Prepare your Life for Miracles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste.

 

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

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

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

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Most People Believe In Guardian Angels

Most People Believe In Angels

Read the article, "Most People Believe In Guardian Angels" by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Angels Are Watching Over Us

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

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

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

Tips to Hearing the Whisper of a Guiding Angel

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve
