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.

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

P.S. WORLD INVOCATION DAY (also called the Festival of Humanity and the Christ Festival) is the spirit of humanity aspiring towards God, seeking conformity with the will of God and dedicated to the expression of right human relations. This is celebrated on the Gemini Full Moon. It is a day wherein the spiritual and divine nature of humankind will be recognized.

World Invocation Day is a world day of prayer and meditation when men and women of every spiritual path join in a universal appeal to divinity and use the Great Invocation. Together they focus the evocative demand of humanity for the light, the love and the spiritual direction needed to build a world of justice, unity and peace.

The Community of Brotherhood

The Community of Brotherhood

Read The Community of Brotherhood by Genevieve Gerard

Meditating with others in a group has the benefit of a community that enhances the power and experience for every member of the group.

The word “community” derives from the Old French comuneté which comes from the Latin communitas (from Latin communis, things held in common).

In the forming of a group for a spiritual purpose, something special takes place that expands the awareness of every person gathered together.  This brotherhood of humankind leads to an expansion of consciousness and awareness that is greater than what anyone individual can touch.  This energy has a mystical influence that may not be consciously in your awareness but impacts your experience.

This influence is especially true when you meditate or pray in groups.  It becomes dynamically true when you and the group share a common purpose and a unified intention.

The group experience is further exalted when your purpose is to help others.  One of the most potent and intense group experiences is when your goal is to provide healing.

The mystical, almost magical aspects of this coming together have long been promised by the Christ when he said, “Whenever two or more are gathered in my name I am with them.”  This power of the Presence of the Christ is an energetic connection that has far-reaching implications especially when the purpose of the coming together is for the purpose of healing, spiritual support, and community.

Prayers that bring the group together, especially when the purpose is for service to others are, empower and enhanced.  Meditating together as a group augments and enriches the experience of everyone who joins their hearts, minds, and Souls together.

When the intention is for coming together for service, your Soul is ignited.  With the invocation and clarity of purpose, a dynamic new Presence can often be sensed, that of a group Soul, or the Soul of the group.  Energetic connecting of Souls empowers and enhances the effectiveness of groups.

When a group of Souls joins for a unified purpose, miracles can happen.  Your Soul and the Souls of those who have gathered are manifesting a unity that is already real in the realm of the Soul.  The conscious choice to join your human efforts and experiences become a manifestation of the ancient awareness, “As above, so below.”

The realm in which your Soul resides is also the realm of Angels.  By joining your human lives together in a unified purpose, especially when you are joined for service and healing, you and those who have joined with you activate not only your Soul group but also the Angels who are also aligned with your higher purpose. You can further empower your group meditative experience and healings by consciously inviting the Presence of Angels and invoking their help.

When engaged in group healing there is a natural and spontaneous merging of meditation, prayer, and invocation.  Connecting with healing Angels also facilitates alignment with Divine Will.

Within the unity and support of the group consciousness, the detachment required is enhanced. Ponder on this.

This union of a human group, a Soul group, and the Angels is powerful beyond human imaginings.  In that union the consideration of the highest good of all is automatic.  By so joining with this merging of purpose any considerations of Divine Will are automatic, and those individuals who are in the group find their individual Will is also aligned as attachments can be released in the awareness of Soul Union.

You can work more effectively in your groups and your community by consciously joining your energies together at the highest level.  The group purpose and intention of working together are powerful.  Coming together for a clearly stated objective automatically empowers the subtle energies available to enhance your success.

Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
      – Vince Lombardi

I have also found that having a purpose that is beyond you, especially when that purpose focuses on healing or helping another exponentially, increases the result.  What is miraculous about joining for a unified purpose is that your energy and intention enable you to transcend the limitations of both space and time to have an impact and influence that is greater than you can have as an individual.

I encourage you to join your life and human efforts with groups of like-minded individuals who share your vision of life problems that cry out for a solution, help with physical healing and global issues such as peace.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.
        – Margaret Mead

Throughout society in churches, charities, lodges, and service clubs there is an opportunity to participate in the magnificent empowerment of group consciousness and group Soul.  Choosing to work together for service, choosing to pray and meditate together, all expand your awareness and understanding of this life-enhancing experience.

I have for many years joined energetically with a worldwide group that is known by the name The New Group of World Servers.  The only criteria required to join this group is to join with the purpose and intention to make the world a better place.  It is created by and composed of Men and Women of Goodwill.  You are already a member of this group if you are aligned with its purpose and intention. This meditation was created for that group.

Many across the planet join their hearts, minds, and Souls to strengthen and empower this service by saying a Blessing to the New Group of World Servers every day at 5 P.M. in your local time, wherever you are in the world. See below.

Although the Ageless Wisdom indicates that this planetary work and service is under the direction of the Christ, no dogma or belief is required.  All faiths are welcomed.  Within the focus of Goodwill and service to your fellow man, there is only harmony.

The guidelines are contained within the words of the blessing provided below.

I invite you to enjoy the increased sense of joy and purpose that working in groups can bring to your life, and join with others of Goodwill with your Heart, your mind, and your Soul.

By saying at 5 pm (everywhere you are).

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

May the Power of the One Life

pour through the group of all true servers;

 

May the Love of the One Soul

characterize the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones.

 

May we fulfill our part in the One Work

through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.

 

 

Joining together for the purpose of helping humanity forms an interwoven network of Light that is infused with Love.  I offer you my Love and Blessing in the bonds of Sister and Brotherhood.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Mother’s Day

Happy Mother’s Day

Read the Happy Mother’s Day short article by Genevieve Gerard

At this time of the year, we acknowledge and honor the great sacrifice that Mothers make and have made since the beginning of time.

We also acknowledge the great transformation that Mothers have set in motion.

A Mother’s Perspective is Different

From the beginning of our awareness that life is growing within us what is important to us, what fulfills us, what we want from life subtlety changes? This is true no matter how you became a mother, through giving birth, through adoption or from accepting a spouse’s children as your own. This change is born of holding a love in your heart that is greater than you ever knew was possible. This change grants mother’s a vision of life that transcends how things are as it affirms what deeply important in the continuity of life and in the demonstration of love.

This shift of consciousness is powerful, life-affirming and real. Any woman who has ever embarked upon the adventure of motherhood notices that this experience impacts your life in many different ways.

Mother's Day 2017 - Genevieve Gerard

By sharing this poem written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870, which was the original proclamation of Mother’s Day I honor all mother’s with gratitude. The sacrifices you have made to nurture the next generation will live on as the love you have given and the wisdom you have shared ripples through time into eternity.

You as a Mother are a part of a vital force for all that is life-affirming and good in the world. The sisterhood of Motherhood has the power to ignite change and new awareness, as the proclamation below does. Together the principles of right speech, justice, truth, and honor shall continue to be taught.

Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation

Arise then…women of this day!

Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:

“We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
for caresses and applause.

Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country,
will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
our own. It says: “Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.”

Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
nor violence indicate possession.

As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of counsel.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace…
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God

In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
and the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.

As society takes this time to honor and exalt mothers I invite Mother’s everywhere to take a pause to understand and affirm the amazing power you have as a Mother to mold the generations of the future. In your hands, we have placed a sacred trust.

To help empower and support all of you in this great adventure I offer you some affirmations that can help you focus and energize you in this great duty.

Mother’s Affirmations

  • I take care of myself, for I realize I cannot give from an empty container.

  • I release those I love from any expectations that may be limiting their life.

  • I am gentle with myself, my spouse and with children, letting compassion guide me as I strive to be quick to forgive.

  • I do my best to give those I influence love and support.

  • I acknowledge I am not perfect, but it will be enough because I give with Love and the intention to guide and support all.

  • I trust that love will prevail connecting heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind and Soul-to-Soul with honor for the differences between us and respect for the ties that bind us.

Call to Mother’s of the World

Realize that as Mothers we can transform the world through the values we instill and the guidance we provide this next generation of humanity. This is a sacred honor. We owe this duty to the future. As a group and as individuals, we stand firm in teaching right from wrong. We are women, we are Mothers and we are stronger and more empowered than we imagine.

We are the mystical representatives of the Divine Feminine, the Divine Mother, and Gaia, the Mother Earth.

This Mother energy we bring into manifestation and expression is a sacred honor which we bear.

During this time, the world is honoring motherhood. Let us also honor the Sisterhood of Feminine Energy to offer one another support by rejecting competition and enhancing cooperation.

Let us honor one another and support one another in our varied roles and responsibility so we can together build a world where all children can thrive, grow and become successful.

This is a gift we can give to one another during this special time of the year as we honor the unique blessing we, as women of the world unite in Motherhood and Sisterhood.

 

Namaste,

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

– Even in death love prevails

Read The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

A profound truth that resonates deep within your Soul is Love Never Ends.  It defies logic and yet is cherished and depended on upon, especially when you lose a loved one to the tyranny of death.

Love and death are archetypically tied together in the human consciousness.  Death is one of life’s experiences that makes you wonder about life with a need to understand.

It is often the loss of a loved one through death that causes you to begin to explore life beyond the limitations of matter and the five senses.  It is not uncommon for the death of someone you deeply love to open your mind to reality and consciousness that is more than what you can touch and feel in the material world.

It may be that when you love someone, your awareness expands beyond the limitations of your physical awareness.  Take a look back over your life and consider whether life is larger and more wondrous than what is only physical.

Love is the key that unlocks your understanding of life beyond what is only physical.  This dichotomy exposes the reality and understanding of life as a dual existence.  This duality requires merging what you experience and perceive with your physical sensations, with the perceptions of your Soul.

It is both mysterious and miraculous that you can be aware of physical reality and spiritual truths simultaneously.  As you explore this duality, you begin to understand the full potential of what it means to be a human being.

Love is the greatest teacher of truth that you have in your life.  The lessons of love and perceptions of love are realer and may be more important than any doctrine ever preached.  This is because the lessons of love are recognized deep in your heart and Soul.  When you love someone you know you are transcending into what is real and meaningful in life.

Love allows you to take on power that is not available with any other human endeavor.  It is a unique force that is available when death brings the sorrow of separation.  In spite of the stark reality of mortality, the love is still there.

That makes the death of a loved one an opportunity to learn and expand your spiritual consciousness.  Somehow, the very breadth of love and the stark reality and pain of death are incongruent.  In spite of the loss and the sorrow of someone who you love dying you are confronted with the awareness that your love somehow not only did not die but also understand to the depth of your being could not die.

Life’s lessons, the particular lesson that love reveals come with a resonance of knowing that transcends understanding.  Although love’s lessons may support and fuel faith, they transcend faith.  Love teaches truth.  Truth has the power of revelation that extends into the very essence of your being.

Your Soul has no doctrine, no dogma, and no denomination, yet it always resonates with the truth.

You may not understand the hows & whys of this, but the knowing and recognition that comes with acknowledging the truth are unmistakable.  Your Soul recognizes the truth and understands the mysterious and miraculous with a profound sense of knowing.

Even in the midst of mourning and sorrow you realize that love is not limited to the physical body which you now know and understand to be just a temporary vehicle for your Soul.
       – Genevieve Gerard

There is within you an amazing teacher that always knows what is true.  That insight opens your awareness to understanding the mysteries of eternity that are otherwise incomprehensible and unknowable.  It is that knowing that becomes apparent when striving to cope with the death of a loved one.  Ultimately, to lose someone you love to death brings you face-to-face with the truth that love cannot die.

 

THE RING OF TRUTH

It is the test of truth known by your Soul that I ask you to apply to any and all of your teachings.  Simply give any experience the test of the “ring of truth,” if it resonates in your Soul as truth, you cannot be misled.

When you open your life to love, you create a bond that is beyond both time and space.  You open the door to what is Divine in life and what is eternal.

Comfort comes with realizing that love transcends even death itself because it exists within eternity.

Love is the bond that connects your Soul to the Soul of your beloved.  This bonding of love is beyond the physical expression because it happens between two Souls.  This bonding of love cannot be destroyed by death because it exists within the eternal.  This bond of love is what you know is still there as you face the fact of mortality.

You may have to learn to live without the companionship of a loved one’s presence in your life, but you can draw succor and strength from the realization that the bond of love continues throughout time.

When you consider the many ways and roles in life that express love, the eternal nature of love begins to make sense.

Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
         – Henry Van Dyke

When you remember all those you have loved in life, and the many diverse ways that love manifests in your life, the expression of eternal love through our life begins to make senseWe all seek to bond with others through loveThat occurs from the initial bond of love that an infant seeks from its MotherIt continues into the love of close childhood friends and the romance and sexual love of finding a mate.

Love ultimately directs all of the relationships of our lives.  Friendship bonds can be stronger than familial bonds.  There are also sisters and brothers whose relationships are so much more than friends are.  These differing themes and variations in relationships that provide the expression and support of love in life create what I call, “the dance of love throughout eternity.”

 

YOUR DUALITY IN LIFE

Each life adventure provides different roles and relationships through which you can experience love.

It is with this insight on love that you can expand your understanding and awareness to make peace with the concept of physical death.  It is through this expansion of your consciousness that thousands of little mysteries can be clarified.

To live in a temporal word of matter that experiences the loss and heartbreak of death yet be an eternal Soul who is a spark of Divine Light requires a dual reality and requires a dual awareness.  This duality in your consciousness can be a strength that explains many of life’s challenges.

This duality of a Soul, who has a body but is a being that is so much greater than your body, provides strength and guidance.  Ponder on this!  Coming to understand your dual natures as you face life’s challenges and potential is revealing. 

Death, by its very finality and limitation, brings you face-to-face with the Soul as it is only with an understanding of the life of the Soul and the actual nature of Love does death become bearable and comprehensible.

The eternal nature of your Soul and the eternal nature of love can be a comfort to you at a time of loss.  If you ponder these thoughts and put them through the test of the truth of your Soul’s knowing, your awareness expands to comprehend much in life that has previously been unfathomable and incomprehensible.

Love is exalted as the life lesson that honors the bonds of love throughout eternity as an expression of Divine Love in our adventure of life.  So remember that it is a dance of love throughout eternity.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Breathe for Healing and Harmony

Breathe for Healing and Harmony:

A Meditative Experiential Article

Read Breathe for Healing and Harmony: A Meditative Experiential Article by Genevieve Gerard

Part of my ongoing
series on Healing.

Breathing is essential to maintain life.  A guided or controlled breath is often one of the best techniques used in meditation.

Breath is both a physical action and an energetic act.  Prana, life energy is available through the breath.

Follow me now as we enter a meditative experiential article about using breath for healing and harmony.

This meditation will unify your mind, your heart and your body with your Soul to heal you.  To begin this meditation, I invite you to Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart and Invite the Light. Now take a deep breath.

When using breath in healing, there are several purposes of the breath: Clearing your energy field and relaxing your body and releasing emotionally any fears and anxieties of which you are aware.

This breathing exercise becomes a meditation through your intentions.  Be receptive and aware as you peacefully and calmly just breathe.

As you read this meditation, let your breath move throughout your body, aware that prana, life energy surrounds you.

Begin by sitting quietly and receptively and let yourself relax.  As you relax, let your mind calm as you observe your breath.  Make no attempt to control your breathing; just follow the natural rise and fall of each breath.

As you breathe in the air that is essential to maintain and sustain your life force, let your awareness that this gift is freely available to the full extent of your need.

Draw in as much air as your lungs can hold, expanding your lung capacity by relaxing your solar plexus as you drop your diaphragm.

Then as you draw in your breath, as it moves up your body, let your energy move with the Prana (Life Force) you are breathing in.

Become aware that you are the one who is breathing in, and you are the one who is breathing out.  Let this awareness happen naturally and spontaneously requiring no conscious thought or consideration.

By bringing your awareness to the simple act of breathing you can expand your consciousness.  You may become aware of the symbiosis and cooperative dynamic of all of life.  The oxygen you freely partake of has been created by the trees and plants and verdant life that surround you.  It sustains you.  Your very act of breathing produces the carbon dioxide that the trees and plants require maintaining their life cycle.  There is deep magic in this cooperative and co-dependency of life.

As you observe that natural rise and fall of your breath, you can be a detached observer letting your mind calm, and your body relax.  As you just sit quietly receptively observe the rise and fall of your chest and your belly as you breathe in the vital life force of Prana, which is all around you and freely available to you.

As you continue to relax, breathing and observing the natural ebb and flow of the air that you breathe, you might notice the coolness of the breath as you breathe in or the warmth of your breath as you breathe out.

You might notice that this breathing process happens both naturally and spontaneously without requiring any thought or action on your part.

All that you need to do is Be, right here and right now.  As you just sit quietly and receptively and breathe, let the vital life force fill you, relax you and restore you.  This gift is available to you freely and spontaneously.  It is a gift you can use for your healing.   It is available to you now and always available as a vital force for your life and living.

To enhance and expand the healing power of your breath engage the healing power of your mind and the healing power of your higher source, your Soul.  You can invoke your higher source through the loving power of your Soul.  Just open your whole being to the Light of your Soul by imagining your Soul as a radiating golden white Light 3-to-6 feet above your physical body.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

Upon observing the Light of your Soul, recognize its Presence as a part of who and what you are.  As a human being, you are miraculously composed of a physical body, although you are more than your physical body.  You have a creative and dynamic mind which you can use to focus your powerful capacity for thought.  Your heart is a spark of the force of Divine love. You are a Soul that is a unified part of the Divine Creative Source for all of life.

As you breathe in a full and relaxing breath, let these energies merge and blend to manifest as the healing Presence and the Healing Power that they are.

Use intention, visualization and invocation to invite this healing into your life through the air that you are breathing.

With your breath consciously consider that as you draw in this breath you can infuse the air with the dynamic healing power of Prana to rebuild, refresh and restore your body.

Let the very air that you breathe be filled with the healing Light of your Soul and the generous grace of God.  As the air fills your lungs realize that it has in it the atomic substance of your Soul. The creative power of Divine Light is now offered to you and available.  You can now heal your life on all levels, physical, emotional, and mental through your spiritual unity and integration.

Recognize that the air that you breathe now is infused with the atoms empowered by the Healing Presence of your Soul and the loving grace of the Divine.  The particles that make up the air that you breathe have been a part of earth’s atmosphere since the beginning of earth’s cycle of time.  The atoms that compose the air you call upon to serve your life were in their life used by every Avatar and Holy One, whoever walked the earth.

Let the miracle of the ancient ones Healing Presence enter your body as a demonstration of grace.

Through the power of your breath, you can be touched by the body of Christ as a manifestation of his healing Presence in the world.

As air moves from your lungs into your circulatory system by the agency of blood, it travels and touches every molecule of your body, every organ in your body, as a force of Prana. As it moves through you, in and around you atomically and molecularly it is healing you, balancing you and infusing you for a full expression of health.  This healing is available so that you can move forward from this meditation to fulfill your purpose and do your work in the world.

As your breath circulates through your body and into your circulatory system, visualize every part of your being align with your Soul Light.  As you release each breath, you can release your stress.  You can let go of emotions that no longer serve you.  

You can be peaceful and calm.  You can come into the unique gift of this moment of time, choosing to free your body, your mind and your emotions from thoughts, feelings, and fears that have held you back or limited your expression.

Continue to sit quietly and receptively as you ponder and consider the atomic restoration that is available.  As with the air, healing atoms circulate through the blood through all of your organs balancing, healing and helping them be restored to complete function and health. 

As the breath flows through your heart, imagine it infused with love. Let your breath send the energy on to draw out any toxins from which your body needs purifying.  The circulation continues to carry through the cleansing and purifying organs of your liver, spleen, kidneys, and colon. The atoms are infused and charged with Soul Light, Love and Divine Grace with power.

Allow the circulation that occurs both naturally and spontaneously with your breath to be a miracle of healing as you continue to breathe. You are quietly aligning with and infusing the wholeness of your being.  This gift is provided for your healing, for your happiness and vitality.

Before you return to your activities, pause and just let yourself breathe in and out deeply one more time, as you let the breath be a healing force in your life

As you just breathe and relax into the powerful potential to heal your body, your emotions and your mind, realize that you can release anything that is not harmonious and balanced.  With another breath, draw in life Prana and Life energy to fill, heal, restore, balance and transform you.

Give thanks for this great blessing of healing that your meditation has created while you paused in your life to “just” breathe.

I recommend that when you do this Breathing Meditation that you follow it by sitting quietly and receptively and record the impressions and thoughts you have received.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

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

a beacon of Divine Light.

 

Where there is sorrow, let me bring comfort.

Where there is conflict, let me bring peace.

Where there is hatred, let me teach love.

Where there is hurt, let me bring healing.

Where there is anger, let me teach forgiveness.

 

Where there is confusion, let me bring clarity.

With a heart filled with endless gratitude I offer up the wisdom that has blessed my awareness through life’s many lessons.

Love is the only way.

 

The more I Love, the more I am blessed with grace.

The more I Love, the more I am filled with joy.

Divine Creator, this I have learned and it is this that I teach for the service and betterment of humanity.

The more I give the more I receive of the Light and Love that fills and sustains me.

I affirm that Love flows from your unlimited Source as the waters of life flow forth to demonstrate how Love underlies all the happenings of the times.

 

I pray for wisdom and insight as the future becomes revealed.

I ask that in all of my life I am empowered to let inner union demonstrate as all outer cleavages dissolve.

Through all my life and all my work, I invoke:

Empower Me To Bring Love & Light To The World Today!

Joy Is The Antidote To Fear

Joy Is The Antidote To Fear

Read Joy is the Antidote to Fear by Genevieve Gerard

Transcending, transmuting and releasing fear is one of the most powerful and life-transforming steps you can take on your spiritual journey.

In the Ageless Wisdom, releasing fear is a step associated with the second initiation.  As such, there is a myriad of life lessons that accompany learning mastery over your fear.

To overcome your fears is a challenge for everyone. 

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real
       – Unknown

Ultimately learning to transmute and transcend your fears cannot be done by your personality and your personal will alone.  For that reason to transform your fears becomes spiritual work

Fear is so very deep, archetypal and integral to the human experience that freeing yourself of fear is such a significant step in your spiritual evolution because to accomplish this you must call upon the strength, the power and the wisdom of your Soul.

Find a place inside where there’s joy,
and the joy will burn out the pain.
        – Joseph Campbell

As you transform your life by transcending your fears, everything changes.  Each victory you make and each step that you take is profound and significant.

It is best to harness the power of your mind and practice the powerful principle that “energy follows thought” by using a technique that I call the detached observer.

To use the detached observer technique, I recommend that you pay attention to the random thoughts of your mind.  Realize that these thoughts are what you are sending out on an almost constant stream as positive or negative instructions to activate the “Law of Attraction” in your role of co-creator of your life.

As you use the “detached observer technique” I have over the years recommended that you catch yourself engaging in “stinking thinking” as Zig Ziegler use to call it.  Once you have noted a fearful thought, just stop and restate it into a positive thought.  All it takes is to use the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self to reframe the thought and revise it, thus activating your personal will to manifest the life you desire. Ponder on this technique!

Reviewing, reframing and restating your thought is a very powerful technique that can empower you to transform your life.

If you have ever used this method, or if you choose to use it right now, I am sure that you will find buried in your previously unconscious “mind chatter” a myriad of fears you can address.

As you explore your preconscious thoughts, you may find that fears are often a component of your content. 

Fear is often embedded in your thoughts of worry, which I call “praying for what you don’t want.” 

Take just one minute right now to center quietly in yourself and listen from the role of the detached observer to the content of your mind chatter with the critical awareness of how much your fears are reflected in your thoughts.

I Am Feeling Free Meditation MP3 by Genevieve Gerard

 

Amazing isn’t it?  Fear can be a large part of your life.

The transmuting and releasing of your fears is such a significant part of your spiritual journey that of all my published guided meditations I have devoted not just one, but multiple meditations to that goal, (I Am Feeling Free and Feeling Free.)

 

What is clear to me is that because fear is so deeply rooted in the human experience it is only by empowering the personality with the power of your Higher Self (your Soul) are you able to release your fears.

The personality can be engaged by seeking more enlightened awareness as you call upon the wisdom, the will and the power of your Soul (Higher Self or Higher Power) to transcend your fears.  By so doing, you are demonstrating a powerful spiritual lesson.  You are created as a spiritual being (a Soul) to work in harmony, and unity with a material being that directs, body, mind, and emotions with your personality.

In this statement above, there is both great truth but also a secret for managing your life.  Ponder of this.

There is no higher purpose to meditation than to become aware of the power and magnificence of your Soul.
         – Genevieve Gerard

To use this higher power and this majesty to be and become all that you are meant to be and live a life of joyful abundance is the reward of enlightened awareness.  It is the inherent secret ingredient in all of the ways to live in joy.

Joy spontaneously arises when you call upon your Soul and activate it as an integral part of the choices you make in your life.

That joy is the antidote to fear came to me recently while coaching someone in the release of his or her fears.  It is such a significant thought and principle that I have meditated upon it for several days now.

As I pondered upon opening my heart and my mind to the touch of my Soul and experienced the rush of joy that accompanied it, I realized simultaneously that in doing so, there was no space for fear.

Miraculously, fear and joy are antithetical to one another. That led me to consider how I can use joy to conquer fear.

Lately, in my meditations, I have been experiencing the blessing, joy, and grace of an angelic presence that I call The Angel of Perpetual Joy She is an angelic being who has had a profound benefit in my daily life.  In fact, it was the transformations her presence has created in my life that stimulated the writing of my recent article, “When Angels Come to Earth.”  As I stated in that article, Angels often choose to come to earth for the purpose of helping humanity.

In my meditations, I gained the insight that joy dispels fear.  It is important that you understand that Angels have a role of assistance and support.  The Angel of Perpetual Joy then went on to reveal in telepathic communion that Angels communicate through their union with your Soul to provide your personality a special blessing that I was charged to offer to you.

She, as an Angelic Presence will respond to your invocation by her presence to help you transcend and overcome your fears.  Therefore, with both her direction and blessing I encourage you to call upon her presence in your prayers and meditations to let joy serve as the antidote to your fears.

I invite you to invoke her presence in your life; I published in my previous article, “When Angeles Come to Earth” a meditation you can use and customize that is called,A Meditation on Angelic Presence.”

You can use this meditation to request her blessing of joy and her presence to transmute, transform and abolish your life of fears.

As you meditate upon her presence, I invite you to invoke and call upon the power and the presence of your Soul.

I believe connecting with your Soul is always accompanied by a rush of Love and Joy.  However, in my experience after calling upon “The Angel of Perpetual Joy” and meditating with her, the presence of my Soul was also magnified and expanded.  Such is the gift of angelic dedication to a particular purpose in life.

Because transcending and transmuting fear can be such an important part of your spiritual journey, I encourage you to use both the reframing technique of the detached observer and take advantage of the blessings of angelic presence regularly in your meditations.

I invite you to use Joy as an antidote to your fears.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on All That You Do!

P.S. I also ask your help and support to share this article with those you know who you feel would be open to and responsive to this teaching.  When you consider how limiting fear can be in someone’s life, this would be an act of service and a blessing.

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.

Does Your Soul Sing To You

Does Your Soul Sing To You?

Read Does Your Soul Sing To You article by Genevieve Gerard

Within you is a song that is unique to you.  It is the song of your Soul.

The Song of the Soul is the voice with which you join in the celestial music that is known as the heavenly hosts.  It is a pulsing thrum that joins to create what is known as the music of the spheres.  It is probably not a song you hear or are aware of as you rush through your daily life.

The Song of Your Soul is found only within the sound of silence, the silence that is within all sound.

I would invite you to open your life and your inner sense to this voice as a meditative experience to help you increase your awareness of the beauty and magnificence of your Soul.  This meditative experience is an experiment in consciousness.  As with all meditative experiences your experience is unique to you and is guided by the wisdom of your Soul to offer you what you need at this exact moment in time and what can be of benefit to you right here and right NOW.

At times, and I must admit that they are rare and precious times; in deep meditation I have heard the music of the spheres.  In those singular and treasured times, I have felt transported to the angelic realm.  I have been so filled with love that it overflows my mind and my heart as I am infused with the love of my Soul.

I have never written about these peak meditative experiences before.  I have not spoken of them often even among my spiritual meditation group.  They are moments of bliss and communion with the Divine that I doubt I can even find the perfect words to express.

So, when in my morning meditation I felt directed to write about one of these extraordinary moments I immediately found my “mind chatter” limiting me.  I found myself doubting that I could do what I felt I was being guided to do.  Then, when I felt directed to create a meditation to open you and others to this extraordinary experience my mind and my personality began to argue that 1.) It couldn’t be done.  2.)  I was both incapable and more significantly not worthy to even try to do it.

My very human experience of denying the directing of my Soul led me to consider how often my “mind chatter” and insecurities stop me from being who I am meant to be, or doing what I am directed to do.  Sadly, I must admit much more often than I would like it to be. 

No matter how often I surrender my personal Will to Divine Will and I do it very often, not only each day but frequently throughout the day; I am still limited by my beliefs.  And, no matter how often I dedicate myself to the Divine work and purpose, I know that what I give and what I offer falls short of the magnificence of my Soul with which I regularly align in my meditations.  This is the conflict between the Soul and the personality.

Here I sit in my morning meditations and writing time feeling directed to create something to help others touch what I have only been able to touch in the exalted peak moments of my meditations.  I have to trust that although my efforts will fall short of perfection, it is important to make my very best effort.

How I Try To Listen To the Song of My Soul

First, to try to write something that can provide a portal to this transcendent experience I find that I must, as I recommend to you each time I create a guided meditation, calm my mindThen I must open my heart.  As I strive to do this, I am filled with the Love that I have for you.

Please ponder on these words as I share with you the blessing and the beauty of the Touch of your Soul that this meditative experience can provide you.  I have faith and trust that your Soul will direct and guide you to experience what is right for you.

Then in full faith, with trust and confidence that my Soul has wisdom beyond my mind, I invite the Light of my Soul to guide me.

The words of one of my favorite mantras comes to me and with intention I invoke:

May the energy of the divine self inspire me
and the light of the soul direct.

 

May I be led from darkness to light,
from the unreal to the real,
from death to immortality.
     – Djwhal Khul (Tibetan master)

With that openness and invitation to the Light, I shall strive to quiet the criticism and judgements of my mind chatter.  I attempt to capture for you the direction of my Soul to create a guided meditative experience to help you open to the Touch of your Soul so that you too may hear the song of your Soul.

Within my mind’s chatter is an understanding that my best efforts as a human being will fall short of the glory of the Soul in its realm as it joins with the angels and the heavenly hosts.  Still, I will dip my pen in heaven and write as best I can to create this for youAfter that, you will have to rely on the wisdom of your Soul to guide you.

What it will reveal and what you will experience is uniquely for you.  As I frequently advise before you begin any meditation where you consciously open to and invite Soul contact, I recommend that you have a journal beside you to record the impressions, images and promptings of your Soul.

Although you may be propelled by the business and busyness of life, with your awareness focused on your body, emotions, mind and your personality’s needs and desires; each and every one of us is endowed with a Soul, that is a spark of Divine Light and is our eternal essence.

 

Listen To the Song of My Soul Meditation

 

Take a minute now and sit with your spine aligned and your feet firmly on the floor as you open your whole being to this moment of time.  Let all that has come before in your life fade away as you come into the eternity of the now.

Imagine the Light of your Soul as a radiating Light three to six feet above your head.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

Then visualize that Golden Light descending into your field of energy (your aura) into the top of your head, down into your heart filling your heart with Love. 

To enter into this meditative experience you must hear, not with you physical ears but with your Soul, a song of the sounds that are the essence of all sound that is found only in the silence. Quiet yourself and connect to the part of you that is One with that Divine spark, your Soul.

A Mantra that you can use to empower you to connect with and identify with your Soul is:

I am the Soul.

I am infused with the Light of my Soul.

Grace fills me with Diving Love.

As Soul, I am joined and fused with the heart of God.

 

As Soul, I am empowered by the Christ to
be of service to do His work in the world.

To do God’s work aligned with God’s Will,
I surrender my little will.

 

With gratitude and joy,
I open my heart and my mind to the directing of my Soul.

       – Genevieve Gerard

Now, having identified with and aligned with your Soul, sit quietly with your mind as calm as you can bring it to be, open your heart to the outpouring grace of Divine Love.  Invite again the Light of your Soul, confident of your Oneness with that Light.

This is a sacred moment.  In the peace of this moment and the Presence of your Soul, sit in the silence and listen to the Song of your Soul.

Embrace whatever experience has been granted to you with gratitude.  Let whatever blessings and insights that come to you grow without judgement.

Record whatever guidance and impressions linger from this experience in your journal.

Let you heart be filled with the Love of your Soul and your mind be filled with greater understanding and insight.

 

Before you move back into the events of your day, pause to express your gratitude for the blessings you have received.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

Read "To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal" by Genevieve Gerard

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

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

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

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

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

Learning To Love

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Affirmations and Reflections on Love
– A meditation focused on Love

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

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

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

The reflection then reveals what you are learning about love.

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

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

Then Say to yourself:

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

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

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

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

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

 

Ponder on the words of this meditation.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Invoking Healing Miracles

Invoking Healing Miracles Today

Read the Invoking Healing Miracles article by Genevieve Gerard

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

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

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

 

You Can Be a Co-Creator in Your Life

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Universal Laws & Principals

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

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

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

 

Healing Miracles

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

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

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

 

Prayer

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

The Use of Intention and Invocation

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

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

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

 

Oneness with a Higher Power

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

A Meditation on Merging With Your Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Understanding Our Dual Nature

Understanding Our Dual Nature

Read Understanding Our Dual Nature article by Genevieve Gerard

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

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

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

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

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

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

Divine Observations

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

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

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

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

What Resonates For You As The Truth

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

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

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

Inner Sense of Truth and Knowing

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

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

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

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

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

Understanding Your Dual Nature

You Have a Physical Body

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

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

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

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

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

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

You Have Emotions

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

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

You Have A Thinking Mind

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

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

You Are A Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Soul-Infused Personality

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!
