Holding Love in Your Heart

Holding Love in Your Heart

Heartbeat in the form of a heart with words Love In Your Heart
This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

What does it mean to hold Love in your heart?

How would that effect how you live?  How would that effect How you Love?

How would that effect What you do?

Life, it seems, is a huge lesson for all of us.  That life lesson seems to center around learning to Love. But how do you do that?

Over two thousand years ago Jesus walked the earth and prior to His departure gave His followers a commandment “Love One Another as I have Loved You.”

We need only look around us in the world to realize how far most of us have strayed from demonstrating that commandment.   Greed and selfishness seem to dictate so much of human behavior that Love is hard to find.

What would life be like if we, you, and me, and indeed everyone everywhere were to love one another?  That would surely be a new world.  It would bring heaven to earth in dramatic and life changing ways.

Kindness and compassion would govern your interactions.  Government would transform if we truly loved one another.  If the power of Love transcended the Love of Power, life would change.

This is not a secret.

Jimi Hendriks said long ago “When the Love of power transcends the Love of power the world will know peace.”

But it is not only peace that is promised when you hold Love in your heart.  Love has the power to transform everything we think we know about life.  That simple commandment that Jesus gave to His followers before He left may have been simple, but I must admit, it is by no means easy.

Loving one another, especially as Christ Loved us, is the opposite of selfish. It is Divine.  It incorporates the powerful principles of kindness and compassion.  It is steeped in giving rather than gathering and accumulating with greed.

So much of the suffering that is inherent in life on this planet would be resolved by Love.    So, I invite you to consider holding Love in your heart.  Consider how Love would be demonstrated in life.

What would you do
and what could you do to demonstrate Love?

Ask yourself: How might you hold Love in your heart?  Can you give graciously to the hungry, the poor, the prisoner and the disenfranchised?  Can you Love your neighbor as yourself?  And if you did would that not change the world? Ponder on these questions.

How might the concept of the brotherhood of mankind impact and influence your actions? Ponder on this question.

What can you do to transform the world with the power of Love? Ponder on this question.

How can you bring more Love into the world to manifest the victory of Love as the guiding influence of life? Ponder on this question.

Does that attempt bring you to the realization of the importance of harmlessness?  Does that enable you to realize the ancient truth that you cannot harm another without harming yourself? Ponder on these questions.

The Oneness, the Brotherhood of Humanity and the Power of Love are not separate energies and concepts.  When you hold Love in your heart, when you practice loving your neighbor as yourself, these concepts come to you more naturally.

This is the awareness that Loving grants.  This is how Love works, energetically and then begins to manifest into the world of matter and humankind through kindness and compassion, forgiveness and sharing. Love is the cure to greed and selfishness.

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
               -Mother Teresa

Practice it and strengthen it in your heart, in your mind and in your Soul.  Demonstrate it whenever life brings you the opportunity.  In small actions great things are accomplished when you do them with Love.

Within the world there is an energy that is so strong, and so powerful, that unites us to bring it into life and the consciousness of humanity.  That energy is Love.
               -Genevieve Gerard

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone

-Connecting through Love

interconnected lines of golden energy write out love connection

This article is part of my ongoing series on Love and Soul Consciousness.

You are not alone!

Even if those you loved have left, passed on, or you have lost contact, you are not alone.

I believe the mystical and magical nature of Love builds an etheric connection between Souls when you love that is beyond space and beyond time. It is this etheric connection that gives truth to the reassurance that "Love never ends."

When you Love, you create something that is eternal. That creation of Love is not limited by matter. It exists in the realm of the Soul and is available in your heart and your consciousness.

Spiritual vs. Physical Senses

It is easy in life to begin to believe that the only reality is the physical and material reality, but that is not true. However, the nature of the Soul, and indeed the nature of Love, are things that are coming into increasing clarity in our present evolution of human perception.

What is spiritual is real. Life is more than what is physical. Perceiving the reality that lies beyond what is physical and opening your awareness to the incredible breadth and scope of what is real is not limited to sight, sound, touch, taste, or smell. What is significant is that you can feel what part of a spiritual reality is. Even if you go through a process of convincing yourself that what you feel is not real.

This discrimination between what is real vs. what is unreal is fundamental to the evolution of consciousness in humanity. Sadly, over the past few hundred years of human evolution, science, because of the emphasis on repeatable and observable experimentation of the scientific method has limited the ability to understand and experience the elements of life that are spiritual in nature.

That makes many of the very best parts of our human experience not be perceived or understood.

Life to be fully lived and enjoyed requires an ability to blend the awareness of what is physical with what is spiritual. That is because, as a human being, you are a blend of the spiritual and the physical world. Your nature is to be both physical and spiritual, and your consciousness is expanding to understand and include both.
- Genevieve Gerard

The study and experiments of Noetic Sciences that have been a part of modern science have begun to confirm much of what spiritual teachers have been saying for years but have been dismissed as mere faith. Sadly, that has also meant that because your ability to perceive a truth required belief led to rejecting what is spiritual as not real. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Consider Love. You cannot touch it. You cannot see it. You cannot hear it. You cannot smell it or taste it. But you certainly can feel it. It is real.

If you let yourself experience, Love can bring you more joy and satisfaction than anything you can touch, see, smell, or taste. But, because it’s true essence is not in the material world, it is often dismissed or confined within your mind to be limited to sexual pleasure and gratification that results in defining something that is primarily a spiritual experience to one that is physical.

Sex is a physical experience, but Love is a spiritual experience. The unfortunate failure of the human experience to discriminate between sex and Love has brought much pain and suffering.

The stubborn insistence on ignoring and denying anything that can be perceived beyond the physical senses is the core issue in discrimination in human consciousness between what is real vs. what is unreal; what is temporal vs. what is eternal.

Love Never Ends

The stark reality that your physical body will die may generate fear, a fear that results in rejecting the part of your being that will not and cannot die, your Soul. The Soul, your Soul, is real. Your Soul is integrally involved in Love because the nature of your Soul is Love.

When you Love, it is your Soul that creates an eternal bond that transcends death and allows you to experience what is eternal. It is what allows the truth that "Love never ends" to be a part of the human and the spiritual experience simultaneously.

Ponder that for a moment!

Examine your heart as you consider those you have loved and those who have loved you. Allow yourself to put aside the illusion that only what can be perceived with your five senses is real. Let the resonance of truth expand your awareness and consciousness.

This is the reality that you as a Soul have while you have a human body. To let your consciousness expand to the awareness of your Soul is the next step in human evolution. Love serves as the bridge from your human experience to the perception of your Soul.

It is the nature of Love to allow matter (your physical self) to reach your Soul (whose nature and substance is Love). In this way, matter (which is a substance that has no love and is not Love) can be transformed.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
- Pierre Teilhard de Chardian

This transformation of matter by Love is what makes Love the solution to the Universal issue of redemption. This is an act of salvation in which every human being participates when they learn to Love.

Love, because it is eternal, can free humanity from the limitations of Life that fear creates. Fear is the greatest enemy of humanity. Like Love, fear cannot be touched, seen, heard, or smelled. However, like Love, fear can be felt and sensed.

Ironically, these two significant life experiences (fear and love) have opposite effects in life. Fear limits and often incapacitates your life force. Love expands and enhances your understanding of life beyond what is temporary and material into what is both eternal and spiritual.

In order to help you with this transformation, I have created this simple meditative exercise on the connection of love.

A Meditative Exercise on the Connection of Love

So that one may fully experience the comfort of this meditative exercise there are some energetic principles you must ponder on in order to start:

  1. Love creates a bond that is not limited by either space or time.
  2. You can strengthen and solidify that bond by affirming and confirming that connection by focusing on and opening to your Soul, realizing that Love is both limitless and eternal.  Through your Soul, on the wings of Love, anyone you have ever loved is available to you in meditation when you let your heart, your mind, and your Souls connect.
    1. No one with whom you have forged a Love bond is ever lost to you, whether they are still living in their body or not. What is Spiritual and energetic does not require material substance.  The power of Love is that it is free to cross the barriers between spirit and matter.
  3. That is true of those you are separated from by death, and those you are separated from by the situations and circumstances of life.
    1. Those from whom you have been separated by situations and circumstances may require consciously detaching from any waves of anger, or resentments that may have interfered with or limited your Love connection.  If that is the case, to open and release your Soul Love connection, forgiveness may be necessary.
    2. It is important to understand that forgiveness like Love is an energetic process and does not require anything on the physical and material plane to happen.  Connecting Soul to Soul (imagining a golden thread from you Soul Star to the Soul Star of the one you once shared a Love bond is sufficient.)

In life the energies of Love and forgiveness are entwined with gratitude and appreciation.

When you in your mind, heart, and Soul have remembered and connected with the Love you once shared, it is time now to offer upon the wings of Love, the forgiveness of the other.

This forgiveness is empowered when you also forgive yourself for your previous limitations and failures to Love.  In so doing, you now have created a miracle of release deep within your being that opens the energy of Love to be available to you.

At this time, to facilitate this release please use the powerful forgiveness technique that comes to us from Hawaiian shamans using a repetition of three simple phrases:

Thank you

I Love you

Please forgive me

These phrases come from the practice of Hoʻoponopono [ho-o-pono-pono] which is an ancient proven Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness.

I have found adding these additional words at this time can be very helpful:

I forgive you and

I’m sorry

Doing this ritual of remembering and forgiveness is powerful.

The Love connection that is freed by forgiveness releases your Love from the bonds of attachment and allows the Love to flow unconditionally which is the nature of Love.

I suggest that this meditative exercise is enhanced by doing it with your journal near you and that in your journal you write the names of those with whom you have practiced this Love connection, Love affirmation exercise.

You can make a connection with whomever you have lost contact with, whether through death or circumstances.  Then open your heart, your mind, and your Soul to the comfort and sensation of being loved. Knowing you are never alone.

When you need to refresh and restore your awareness of the connection of Love in your life you will have a way you can call upon the energetic connections with whom you have forged the eternal bonds of Love in your life.

At this time imagine yourself held energetically with the arms of Love. You can let yourself feel comforted and caressed by the bonds of Love.

Let this exercise and meditation remind you that you are not alone, and comfort and console you in times of loneliness and sorrow.

Enhance your sense of connection by imagining your Soul Star connected with those you have lost physical continuity with, in triangles of Light.  You can expand your sense of connection by visualizing in addition to your Soul to their Soul (3 feet above your head), lines of energy from your mind to their mind (at the ajna center near the brow of your eyes) and your heart to their heart.

For those relationships that are still living, you may wish to take the additional step in the future (when safe) of physically getting back in touch or re-connecting. Even though this exercise is mostly energetic and etheric its feeling and gratitude can be manifested on the material plane also.

Opening your heart, your mind, and your Soul to Love connects you energetically and often telepathically so if you do search out those with whom you shared a Love bond, you may find that they have been remembering you or thinking of you also.

This is especially true of the (Philos) Love of friends whom you may have lost contact along your life path.

This simple meditative exercise is a celebration of Love in life.  Experiment with it.  Approach it with joyful playfulness and let yourself be restored and refreshed by the awareness of Love in your life and gratitude for those you have loved, and those who have loved you.

Remember Love never ends!

 

We Are All Connected Through Love
& You Are Not Alone

Earth globe with interconnected triangles of energetic souls
Interconnected Souls

When you open your heart, mind, and awareness into a consciousness of Love, you realize you are not alone.

You are supported by those you are connected with through Love, whether they are physically present or not in your Life. Anyone with whom you have formed the bond of Love is energetically linked to you beyond time or space constraints.

The more you allow yourself the awareness of that connection, the less confined you are by your physical body, and the more freedom your consciousness can perceive. Much of the emotions of suffering and loss are healed by opening your awareness to the Love that is available to you at any moment.

Love, of course, is not attached. It just is. Love requires nothing of you and nothing from you. That is a part of the miraculous nature of Love. It frees you to be you with no limitations. It is eternal and available.

Namaste,

   Genevieve,

Be Open To The Divine Mother On Mother’s Day

Be Open To The Divine Mother
On Mother’s Day

Be Open To The Divine Mother

Mother’s Day comes around every year.

And for many, probably most of the world who celebrates this day, it is a special opportunity to show appreciation for the love and sacrifices of your Mother.

Within this day of celebration, the bonds of family are honored and celebrated.

But, for some this day is not so easy.

Among us, in the human experience, there are those of us who did not have a mother in their life growing up or did not have a Mother who fulfilled and demonstrated the amazing sacrifice, love, and support that is associated with the celebration of Mother’s Day and especially of motherly love.

In my many years as a counselor and life coach, I have learned that this day, Mother’s Day, comes with mixed feelings and sorrow for some.  Indeed, it was for me challenging and frustrating for much of my life.  I recall spending hours in a card section of a store, often with tears, looking through countless cards trying to find one that was not dishonest in its message so I could send one to my Mother for Mother’s Day.

Most greeting cards express gratitude for the love, support, and selflessness of motherhood.

The reality of life is that all woman are not found of love or support and certainly not selflessness that society honors on Mother’s Day.

If you have or had a wonderful, loving, and supportive Mother I suggest on this day you express, not only your appreciation but that you take a moment to understand and realize what a blessing that is or was in your life.

I had a Mother, but unfortunately, she did not know how to love.  This was a challenge especially in my years of growing up.

Fortunately, although my Mother did not understand or demonstrate love, I was blessed with an amazing Grandmother who both loved me and supported me emotionally, but most importantly taught me how to love and loved me unconditionally and wholeheartedly.

Unconditional Love

The greatest expression of a Mother’s love is that it is unconditional and accepts you.  That is the archetypal understanding of a Mother’s love.  Yet, for the child for whom that was not the experience, or even for the Mother who failed to provide that experience, Mother’s Day is often a difficult time.

Loving is not easy and yet we expect it of one another as if it was, just because it is a natural part of our being does not make it easy.  This is especially true of what is considered the example and expectation of a Mother’s love.

For many, the lack of having had the blessing of a Mother who loved them accepted them, and cherished them is painful.  At the core of that pain is the expectation that a Mother’s love is just the way life is.  And, for those who do not, for whatever reason receive that ideal in their life, it is painful.

As a child who was raised with that lack, I can speak to that pain.  As one who has spent endless hours learning about love and life, there are some important things I have learned and can share that can help heal that pain.

I believe a lifetime of learning about love has given me an understanding and grace about some important things to understand about love, and specifically what is traditionally the Mother of the feminine aspect of love, that can help.

Good Mother or Bad Mother

All of us have within our psyche the voice of those who have taught us, raised us, and guided us.  For most people, the loudest of those voices is their Mother.  And for most people that is the most loving and supportive voice that they have.  For those who do not have that archetypal loving and supportive voice in their head, more discernment and discrimination is required.

The first level of discrimination that is required is to determine if what you are thinking about yourself is the voice of what I call “Good Mother”, or “Bad Mother.”  The voice you, as an adult, have in your head doesn’t come from just the personage of your physical biological mother.

Throughout your life, grandparents, aunts, the Mothers of your friends, and countless life teachers have created and formed what I refer to as the “Mother” voice in your head.  Even if you have been so unfortunate as to have had a bad mother, you will, if you explore your awareness, realize that life provided you with those who served in the role and example of what Mother’s love is.

If you are someone who had challenges with your relationship with your Mother, and many have, this discrimination is important.  The best Mother in the world was not always an expression of “Good Mother” all the time.  Sometimes your Mother might have been dealing with her own issues and challenges and failed to be what “Good Mother” is.

Unfortunately, in the more challenging familial relationships “Bad Mother” may have spoken more often than “Good Mother.”  This may have created a paradox and a problem for you in your relationship with your Mother.

Free The Past

This process of determining and discriminating which force was at play, when you remember something said, either in the past or the future is freeing and empowering.  You are not perfect, and your Mother, no matter how good or bad she is/was is not perfect.  I suggest as you realize that, use that awareness to forgive your Mother for whatever failures she may have had along the way of life involved in your relationship.  That may be the greatest gift you can give her this Mother’s Day.  And fortunately, you don’t even need to say you forgive her.  A simple expression of your love for her will carry that energy.

The process of discriminating and determining which comment that you carry in your mind chatter from the past is an expression of “Good Mother” and which is from “Bad Mother” can be very freeing.

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
      – Bryant H. McGill

You can choose to forgive and forget all of the “Bad Mother” messages and that will expand and enhance any of the “Good Mother” messages you received.  As you learn about love you can demonstrate it.  Ponder on this.

In my life, I am grateful that through my demonstration of unconditional love and forgiveness, my Mother was able to finally say the words “I Love You.”  My mother learned what it meant to be loved and because of that learned about how to love. I feel that my being able to teach my Mother to love and to let her know the experience of love, was an empowering and amazing part of my spiritual journey.

Because of this Soul connection, and that love happens at the Soul level, it is possible to open your heart and mind to your Soul and receive healing and restoration from the Divine Mother.

The Divine Mother

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

If you have any hurts or pains from the failures and foibles of your earthy Mother, I suggest that you open yourself to receive the blessing and grace of the love, light, and healing power of the Divine Mother.

Fortunately, the energy, grace, and love are available to you through either prayer or meditation.  You can, through prayer or meditation connect with the love of the Divine Mother, an energy that is also referred to as the Divine Feminine.  This is a dynamic and powerful aspect of the Trinity.

There is something that is very important to understand about the nature of Love.  That is that Love is created and ultimately expressed on the level of a Soul-to-Soul connection.  That is what makes love a real connection and that is what makes Love eternal.
      – Genevieve Gerard

The energy of the Divine Mother and the Divine Feminine is integral to helping humanity learn about love and as such is a source for Divine Love anchoring on Earth.  It occurs on the Soul level and it is with your Soul that you can connect with it and experience it, learn from it, and be healed by it. Ponder on this.

I share with you today a short guided meditation that I wrote just for this article.

A Meditation on Love and
Opening to the Divine Mother

 

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

Take in a deep breath and relax into this moment.

Put all that is past behind you as you enter into right here and right now.

Open your heart to the essence of Love that is available to you and flowing through you from your Soul, your spark of Divine Light, and your Source of Divine Love that is endless, abundant, and eternal.

Let the completely unconditional nature of that Love fill your heart to overflowing.

As you breathe in, realize that the very air that you breathe is a blessing from Source and infused with Divine Love.

As the air circulates from your lungs to your blood realize you are incorporating into your body and into your being, Love.

As the molecules of oxygen move throughout your body along your whole circulatory path imagine that within those molecules, down to the essential atoms of your existence, is the Light of your Soul.

Let yourself be one with your Soul and let yourself receive from the vast universal presence of Source, the healing Light, and the transforming Light of Love.

Draw in another deep breath as you surrender to the empowerment and infusion of your Soul, as you open your heart and mind to the Love that is available to you, that is now flowing through you through the miracle of a simple breath.  Let it heal you.  Let it restore you.  Let it infuse you and enlighten you as you calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.

You are not alone.  You are a child of the Divine, supported and loved unconditionally and eternally through your Soul by the love of the Divine Mother and the love of the Creator which can be called the Father of you and of all of life.

Let yourself receive the perfect amount of abundance that is available for you, that was created for you, to empower you and support you and sustain you throughout your life so you can fulfill your purpose throughout this life adventure.

Let every breath you take give you what you need to sustain and nourish that purpose.

Open your awareness to the wisdom of your Soul and the strength and support of Divine Love that is freely flowing to you and through you now.

Breathe in the grace and guidance of your Soul and the sustaining love of the Universal Presence that is here for you and available to you with every breath you take.

Within you is the power to heal your life and live your life in joy.

Quietly sit, breathing in that love, that strength, and that blessing until you are restored refreshed and filled so you can go forth to do and be in the world all that you are meant to be.

      – Genevieve Gerard

 

May the Love and Grace of the Divine Mother continue to bless you and your entire family!

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

A Christmas Prayer

 

We ask for the Spirit of Peace to descend to our struggling planet where peace remains only a dream to touch the hearts and minds of men and woman across the world that the path to peace and the possibility of Peace becomes the enlightening vision of the Christmas star.

On this night where across the world, people everywhere celebrate the birth of the one known as the Prince of Peace we invoke the inspiration of new solutions to old-world problems.

Lord let Angelic wings spread the joy of Angel’s message heralded on first Christmas, the message of Eve of Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Men.

At this miraculous moment in the evolution of life on this planet let the power of Love heal humanity of the selfishness and greed that damages and destroys so much of life.

The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium by Genevieve Gerard

 

As the Angels descend accompanied by the Mega Angel “The Spirit of Peace and Equilibrium,“ let Love prevail.

As the world celebrates the birth of the Christ Child in a manger in Bethlehem let me open my heart to the birth of the Christ in the cave of my heart.  As this miracle begins to transform my life I ask that it touch the hearts of all in leadership positions around the world.

Let hearts across the world be enlightened by all who have served humanity along its long pathway. As it teaches and guides us knowing that by opening to Divine Love, Divine Grace, Divine Truth, and Compassion we can come to a right relationship with you, Divine Creator and right relationship with all of your creation.

Experience Love Being First

Experience Love Being First

Read Experience Love Being First Serenity Sunday by Genevieve Gerard

This post is a part of my ongoing series on Love.

It is a simple truth that Love is more powerful than hate.

Love is not simply an emotion, but a dynamic transforming power that can lead humanity into its most dramatic step forward in its evolution.  This moment in the history of time is unprecedented.

Since the words of creation were first uttered in the Mind of God, “Let there be Light” life on this beautiful planet has been evolving.  There has been a plan and a purpose far greater than my mind can grasp.

The Mind of God is certainly beyond my human ability to understand.  When I consider this world and all its glory I am struck with such awe, I can scarcely take it in.  When I let my consciousness consider the vastness of the universe beyond this planet, there is such mystery that I cannot pretend to comprehend.

The Source of Life, the meaning of life, is a mystery.  Philosophers have written their realizations, sometimes with great wisdom and revelation and at times with errors that it has taken humanity many ages to untangle.  The course of human consciousness is not a straight line to enlightened awareness.  In fact, it is a circuitous path.

When I consider that pathway, after a lifetime of prayerful contemplation and regular meditation there is one force that seems to stand forth.  There is one thing that appears to give meaning to the many lessons that life offers in this University of Living, that something is Love.

If there is one thing, it seems that all of life conspires to teach, it is Love.  With all of the need for love and desire to love and be loved that motivates human behavior, Love often remains a mystery.

As I ponder, contemplate, and meditate upon the mystery that is love I am aware that it is the diverse power and force that is love that makes it is so hard to understand sometimes.  The ancient Greek philosophers tried to help humanity understand love by their three words to define Love.

And, since those ancient times, those three words are still the definitions that are used.   You may not understand the full breadth of each of those words and concepts, but that does not make them wrong.  Learning the differences and nuances of those different types of love and more importantly the ways to manifest those differences of various kinds of love has been grist for the philosopher’s mill for many, many centuries.

Learning about Love, how to Love, is so important that Jesus chose Love as His determination of how the Laws of God were fulfilled when he stated in Matthew 22: 35-40  35And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38This is the great and first commandment. 39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”

This answer does not only direct your attention to ethical questions but also reveals a great deal about Love.  Love is about a relationship.  Love for all of its dynamic power exists only in relationship.

Love Only Exists In Relationships

That relationship can then fall into those three categories that the Ancient Greek philosophers handed down to current generations.  Those relationships sum up all of our human experience:

  • Agape: the unconditional and transforming Love that God shares with you in relationship with Divine Love.  That powerful aspect of Love that grants you access to Grace and Forgiveness.
  • Philo: the love of friends. Those with whom we have the relationships of fellowship, our neighbors, our families, and the brothers and sisters of our emerging and awakening consciousness.
  • And Eros: romantic and sexual love, which is so laden with attachment, desire and need that my spiritual mentor Robert Gerard used to call it, ”sticky love.”

Sadly, the passion and pleasure principle of romantic love has led to love being wrongly considered just an emotion, when it is so much more than that.

This particular and unique moment in the history of human consciousness is making it possible for humanity to learn more about Love than has ever been possible in our long journey toward enlightened awareness.  This opportunity comes with energies that are emerging over this next period of the human adventure, energies that will advance the Plan that is held in the Mind of God for His creation, humanity, here on planet earth. 

Consciously or not, we are all on a quest for answers, trying to learn the lessons of life. We grapple with fear and guilt. We search for meaning, love, and power. We try to understand fear, loss, and time. We seek to discover who we are and how we can become truly happy.
            – Elisabeth Keebler-Ross

The Aquarian Age

What has been called the Aquarian Age in astrological terms is a span of earth history that will span over 2,500 years as time is measured on earth.  Of course, in the realm of Heaven, that span of time is an illusion.

But, for us as human beings, the lessons of life and lessons of love that are uniquely available to us in the next 2,500 years are profound because they are the lessons of brotherhood and sisterhood.  They are the lessons of unity and oneness and the lessons of Love that will usher in the foretold time “When the Lion will lay down with the Lamb.”   This is a time when it is said to be followed by Peace to reign for a thousand years.

Now you and I may have great difficulty imagining the lessons that life and more importantly the lessons of love that will emerge in the consciousness of humanity over that vast span of time, but in The Mind of God, and the overall plan of evolution, love prevails.

I do not know how that happens or when that happens, but I know with the wisdom of my Soul and the profound revelation of my heart that love prevails.  We are told from every source of life, about the nature of God and the nature of the universe that “God is Love.”

The Nature Of The Soul

So, as I connect to my Soul for my meditative insights, I am struck by the realization that the nature of my Soul, which is the spark of Divinity that enlivens me, is also love.  Therefore, I am Love.  The love which empowered conception for this particular life adventure directs my life to learn the lessons of love.

If Love Is First

Today I would like you to consider how your life and your relationships, in all of the types of love the philosophers describe, would be different if you let love be your first consideration in what you do and in what you say? 

If Love is first, Harmless and Right Speech become automatic.  If Love is first, you are able to consider others beyond your personal needs and attachments.

If Love is first all ethical considerations answer to the question of: how is love best served in this decision?

These are broad and important questions upon which Soulful consideration will reveal a greater understanding of love.

Therefore, I invite you to ponder on this next question:  How would you handle your current situation, your current relationships or your current circumstance in your life if you put Love first?

I invite you to as a meditative exercise: calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light of Love to guide you in your life and relationships.  

Your understanding and revelation to these questions will be empowered by opening to and connecting with your Soul, whose nature is love.

Meditate on Love.  Open your heart to Love.  Let your awareness be infused with Love and you will find your life filled with a joy that knows no boundaries and peace that passes understanding.

As you reflect upon and consider these revelations, I encourage you to record your impressions and thoughts in your spiritual journal.  It is so important that the wisdom of your Soul be considered and integrated into your personality for greater success and joy in your life.

Consider, if you will, how laws and governance would be if they put Love first.  Letting Love guide the laws that regulate and govern society will do more to make the world a better place than anything I can imagine. 

When Love is first, selfishness and greed go away.  Love automatically aligns with the greatest good of all.  Love brings unity and dissolves the illusions of separateness that can create so much harm in the world.

Love is the nature of your Soul and each time you align with Love you open your heart and your mind to a Higher Power.  By aligning with Love, you are bringing your personal will into a dynamic and powerful expression of Divine Will.

By putting Love first and letting Love guide your actions you will be supported by the Heavens.  You become a Light Worker backed up by the most powerful force on earth, Love.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Remember Who You Truly Are

Remember Who You Truly Are

Remember Who You Are article by Genevieve Gerard

Perhaps, one of the most powerful and profound messages I have ever received in meditation was the instruction to, “Remember Who You Truly Are.”

This phrase not only impacted my spiritual life at the time I first received this instruction but has returned to my ponderings throughout the years.

Today, I share it with you, hoping that within your meditations and ponderings you will find insight, strength, and wisdom.

When you focus on this question I encourage you to have your spiritual journal with you.  Recording the ideas you receive helps you gain greater depth and understandings of flashes of awareness.

You might initially respond to this Koan by thinking it is silly.  You could dismiss it by giving simplistic answers.  A Koan is an exercise of finding a deeper truth.  I believe to benefit from the use of a Koan, you must look beyond the surface into the heart of the question.  In that way, the truth is revealed.

As you ponder the question, consider if you will, all of the roles and titles you have carried through your life.  Most have been descriptions of what you do, not who you are.

Once you move through the identities of what roles you have played in your life, what is left?

Are you larger than the jobs you have done or the roles you played in other’s lives?

At the center of your being, you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.
          – Lao Tzu

A Meditation To Explore Who You Truly Are

Take a deep breath as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

Sit quietly and listen in the silence to the promptings of your Soul.  How does it answer the question, “Who Am I, Truly?”

Let your heart experience whatever comes to you.  Let your mind be free.  Suspend judgment.

Open to the wisdom of your Soul.  Invite it to reveal to you awareness you may have never perceived before.

There is no wrong answer.  Just open your heart and mind to the promptings of your Soul.

Listen, in the silence with your whole being as you ponder “Who am I, truly?”

Consider the thoughts, concepts, and feelings that drift into your being.  In the silence, you may find paths of consciousness that call to you.

Let them flow freely, opening understandings that are new to you.  You may wish to pause and record these impressions in your journal so you can return to them in another time, in another meditation.

You may experience an expanded sense of being.  Let your awareness grow to the edges of your consciousness.  Let your perception be limitless.

Taking a deep and relaxing breath, release with your exhale any stress you may be holding in your body.  That stress is not a part of who you truly are, so you can let it go.

Then draw in another deep and relaxing breath.  As you release your breath, you can release your fears.  They are not a part of who you truly are.

Now, as you breathe in another deep and relaxing breath realize you can, with your exhale, release any limiting beliefs and thought-forms you may be holding.  They too are not part of who you truly are.

Return to the silence, as you realize these burdens of stress, fears and limiting beliefs you have carried are not a part of your true self, your essential self.  They have not served you, and you have no need to ever gather them to you again.

Return to the question you are pondering; who am I truly if I am not my stresses, my fears or the beliefs that have limited me?

Allow the peace of this experience to permeate your essence.  As you breathe in, breathe in that peace and calm.  Be aware that you are breathing in peace and calm that comes from the very essence of yourself.

Let the energy in your heart expand into that peace.  Let the Love of your Soul fill your heart as you let yourself Love and appreciate who you are.

In the calm and the silence of this moment let yourself receive the grace of loving and accepting yourself.

In the pause of remembering who you truly are let the grace of self-forgiveness fill your heart and mind.

You are more than the total of the roles you have played and the deeds you have done.  You are more than your emotions and beliefs.  Within you, there is an essential Self.  Open your awareness to that Self.

In the silence, in the calm afterglow of this meditation receive the Love that your Soul has for you.  Receive the grace that is your birthright as a spark of the Divine Light that inhabits us all.

Record your thoughts, feelings, and impressions in your journal at this time.  Remember that writing about what you have experienced helps you ground and solidify that experience.

Expand your awareness to receive the flow of unlimited Love and compassion that is the nature of your Soul.
          – Genevieve Gerard

Be Open To Your Soul

Take a moment, as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light of your Soul, to ponder on what you have received in response to the question who am I truly.

Expand your awareness to receive the flow of unlimited love and compassion that is the nature of your Soul.

As, that Love fills your heart and illumines your mind, realize and celebrate that your Soul is an integral essence of who you are.

Yes, you have a human and material body, but you are much more than your body.

Certainly, you have emotions, but they are only experiences along the adventure of life.  They are not who you truly are.

Amazingly, you have a mind, capable of great thoughts and expansions of consciousness.  Within that mind is the power of imagining and perceiving that which is beyond what is material into an essence which is Spirit.

As a Soul, you are a co-creator with the Divine of the nature and purpose of your life.  Yet, for your Soul to work in the world and influence matter, it needs the actions of your physical body. 

 

It requires the understanding and cooperation of others that comes from the practice of compassion and the demonstration of Love that only you as a dual nature of Spirit/Soul and Matter/Body, can offer to the world.
          – Genevieve Gerard

Your personality and ego are part of a team that brings the Spirit into manifestation in the physical universe.  This merger of your Soul with the material is focused on bringing Love into the world of matter.

Love is the essential nature of the Soul and the nature of the Divine.  YOU, as a human being are the incredible miracle of life created to bridge those worlds, to reveal that truth, to learn and teach the nature of Love.

For this great task was humanity created.  For this great service to the whole universe are you here on Planet Earth, learning, growing and striving to transform matter with Love.

This integration of your Soul (whose nature is Love united with Divine Purpose and Will) with your physical body, emotions mind and personality is a divine purpose in life that has a purpose beyond what you can know and see.

Being, and becoming who you truly are, and remembering and revealing your Divine nature while in human form is the pathway that all of humanity must travel to fulfill the Divine Plan and destiny for humanity.

You are an adventurer.  You are a trailblazer. You are a child of God and a spark of Spirit merging divine source into matter as you learn to express and share Love.

In all of creation, the human being is a unique and special being.  Be who you are.  Celebrate this miracle of life you have been granted.  Accept the love and guidance of your Soul as you master your physical, emotional and mental nature and integrate your personality with your Soul.

As your consciousness returns to the activities and requirements of your life, realize that this meditation of remembering can empower you.

You can return to this meditation and this pondering as often as you like.  Each experience can deepen and reveal ever more of the mystery of remembering who you truly are.

 

Namaste,

  Genevieve

Are You Being Called To Stand With The Christ

Are You Being Called To Stand With The Christ

Read Are You Being Called To Stand With The Christ article by Genevieve Gerard

One of the things I do every day as a part of my spiritual journey is to meditate and pray.

I arise, usually before the sun and open my heart, my mind, and my Soul to the Christ.  Doing that on a daily basis helps me align with my Soul, align with Divine Will and align with Love.

This sacred time, this time of contemplation and surrender, are the source of my joy and peace of mind.  When faced with a troubling situation in life it is this that guides me.

When there are ethical questions, I encounter in life situations, knowing whose team I am on make them easier.  I know whose teachings guide my life.

Standing With The Christ

This relationship with the Christ is not a new one for me.  It has been the sustaining power in my life.

Standing with the Christ is not about theological dogma for me.  It is about relationship, choice, and surrender.  However, it is mostly about love.

My relationship with the Christ is not a bunch of rules and regulations.  It is not about believing.  It is about living in the real world as a disciple of a Lord that I love more than words can easily express.  And, it is about being loved and knowing without question that I am loved, completely and unconditionally.

It is not about following what people say or believe about the Christ, and especially not about following what people say that they believe.  It is about following the dictates of love.  It is about listening to the still quiet prompting of my Soul.

Only when I love I am able to let go of my ego and personal desires, to stand with the Christ. It is Love that guides my heart and mind beyond selfish desires and brings me to a relationship with Christ that directs and empowers my life.

God knows I have an ego.  I certainly have a personality with as many flaws as anyone.  But when I stand with the Christ, as love enters my heart I am blessed with unconditional love, grace, and forgiveness.  I do not have to be perfect because I stand within the love of the Christ.

That Love is sufficient for all of my needs.  It fills my heart to overflowing abundance enough for me to share with the world.  Compassion can flow without ceasing.

Love is my antidote to criticism and judgment.  The joy I experience with this relationship is a natural antidote to fear.  This relationship is beyond faith.  It is a giving and receiving relationship that guides my thoughts, words, and deeds.

Standing with the Christ focuses my life on the principles of service and goodwill: Those principles have been called the saving force of humanity.  Standing with the Christ is what we as humanity and more importantly as disciples are called to do.

Across the planet, across all religions and limitations that lead to separateness and selfishness in the world is a call from the Christ for men and woman of goodwill to stand with Him.

This is calling out to the men and woman of goodwill that transcends all denominations and all dogmas; it is a calling for right relationships for all of humanity.

When Jesus walked the earth, he spoke of this coming time and guided us with His teachings of how to recognize those who take a stand for Christ.

He told us that:

Yea though you have done it to the least of these my brethren you have done it unto me.
           – Matthew 25:40 (King James Bible)

To stand with the Christ is a stand of service.

In the 2,500 years since the resurrection and accession of the Christ, God has continued to work for good in the world.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
           – Romans 8:28 (King James Bible)

 

An Invitation To The New Group of World Servers

This working for good in the world has, according to the Ageless Wisdom become a worldwide movement directed by the Christ that is becoming known by the name The New Group of World Servers.  This working for good in the world is part of standing with the Christ.

I take this opportunity to invite you to join with your heart and your mind with this mission of the Christ in the world today.

You can join with others who are the men and woman of goodwill, every day across this planet at 5 p.m.; wherever you are in the world by saying this simple prayer:

The Blessing of the New Group of World Servers

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

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

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

 

The words “the power of the One Life” refers to the Christ.  When you say this blessing, you join with and stand with the Christ by supporting His disciples around the world.

Serving All The Days of My Life Meditation

 

Experience a New Group of World Servers live guided meditation recording by owning my Serving All The Days Of My Life downloadable meditation.

 

I invite you to stand with the Christ in relationship to help empower “the least of these, my brethren.”  It is an invitation to let love guide your relationships through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.

You will by your actions affirm and identify yourself as a follower of Christ by your Love.

You will know them by their fruits
               – Matthew 7:15-20 (New King James Bible)

Love and compassion are the fruits of standing with the Christ.

If you let love and compassion guide your life decisions, you will live with harmlessness and right speech.  These are simple ways to honor the sacrifice the Christ made for you and your salvation.

Stand with the Christ in your everyday interactions with your fellow citizens of planet earth.

It is a way to answer all ethical questions.  When you stand with the Christ love becomes your guiding principle.  When you let love be your guide, it becomes easy to know right from wrong, truth from lies and good from evil.

This is your life.  It is your choice what you do.  This simple choice to stand with the Christ opens you to a life of love, a life of service and an opportunity to know the “Peace that passes understanding.”

And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ.
                 – Philippians 4:7 (King James Bible)

Stand with the Christ.  Be a person of goodwill in this world.  Consider harmlessness to others in all that you say and do.  Let right-speech guide your words.

As I discuss in my article Principles of Goodwill, “To consider that each time you serve your fellow man, the good that you do is being done for the Christ (or even to the Christ) really expands this concept of the body of Christ.”

Being a disciple of Christ in this modern world may require taking a stand.  When you take that stand in love and when you take that stand with Christ miracles happen.

 

Ancient Affirmation and Mantra

I would like to conclude this with something I have published before, that is a personal favorite of mine and a call to action.  It is an ancient mantra called the discipleship mantra.  I invite you to use it to empower your life.

Discipleship Mantram

 

I am a point of Light within the greater Light.

I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love Divine,

I am a spark of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery Will of God.

And Thus I Stand.

 

I am a way by which men may achieve.

I am a source of strength enabling them to stand.

I am a beam of Light shining upon their way.

And Thus I Stand.

 

I am a radiating center of Joy, Serenity and Quiet Mind.

And Thus I Stand.

 

And standing thus revolve.

And tread this way the way of men.

And know the way of God.

And Thus I Stand.

 

I welcome you and honor you as you stand with the Christ!

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

I rejoice knowing I can always find rest when I return to the Garden of My Soul.

A MEDITATION OF REMEMBERING

Check out my article on “Opening Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message” that I wrote to go with this meditation.

A MEDITATION OF REMEMBERING

As always to begin, calm your mind, open your heart, invite the light.

 

Sit quietly with your spine aligned, let your energy center as you bring your awareness to a place of peace.

 

Although you are opening to remembering a childhood event, come into the present.  Let the past fade away.  Firmly relegate the past to the past.  That was then, and this is now.

 

Release any feelings that may accompany the reactions others had if you shared your experience.  Free yourself from external judgments and influences.

 

Take a deep breath as you are calming and centering your energies.  As you do so, forgive yourself.  Let go of any blame or self-judgement.

 

Forgive those who may not have supported you in the way that you needed in your childhood.

 

You are here now.  You are now open and receptive.  The past has no power over you.  Right now you can expand your awareness to hear the message that the Angels bring to help and guide you in your life.

 

As you draw in your breath, draw in the Divine energies of grace and forgiveness.

 

As you exhale, release all of the negative “should” thoughts you may be having, imagining them moving away on the breath until they disappear.

 

You may wish just to sit quietly breathing while your energy calms and centers.  You can do this as long as you like being gentle with yourself, letting yourself come to the point of calm and a place of peace.

 

Release and forgive with the exhale of each breath anyone who may have encouraged you to forget these childhood moments you are now endeavoring to recall.  Let the past be in the past.

 

Surrender into the safety of being right here and right now.

Now, draw in a really deep and relaxing breath, drawing the air to the very bottom of your lungs as you expand your diaphragm to draw in more of the vitality of the breath.

 

Continue to draw in your breath until you have filled your lungs all the way to the upper lobes of the lungs.

 

Hold your breath briefly and consider that as you release your breath, you are also releasing anything that could interfere with you receiving the guidance and clarity that is available to you today in this meditation.

 

Pause and be receptive in the stillness to the quiet promptings of your heart.  In the silence open your mind and heart.  Listen.

 

With your heart and mind open, remember the time of innocence when the whole of your life lay before you were naive and unformed.  Then, let any memories that are hidden emerge.

 

Take this time to recapture your childhood experience and bring it to your conscious recall, open your heart and mind as a child.

 

If no memories appear, take a moment to imagine a connection to your Guardian Angel on a thread of Light and open your mind to receive any guidance and clarity that may be available for you today.

 

You may wish to visualize a bridge from the top of your head to a golden radiating Light that represents your Soul.  Then, with your mind calm and your heart open be receptive to whatever awareness of the spiritual realm that is available to you today to guide and empower you on your life’s journey to help align you with your life’s purpose.

 

Remain in this meditative focus for as long as feels right for you and record in your journal any thoughts, impressions and memories that may come to you.

Stay in the peaceful nurturing calm and grace of meditation.  Let your heart be filled with the unconditional love that accompanies an Angel’s presence.

Be open and receptive without judgment or expectation.  Let what comes to you flow to you spontaneously.  You can consider and evaluate it later.  Right now just be receptive and open.

When you feel you have completed the meditation, take the time to record your impressions.  You can ponder on them either now or later.

Last express your gratitude to your Angel for the gift of guidance that you have received. If not now, then shortly.

Namaste,

Genevieve
