Open to the Healing Light, Love, and Power of Your Soul

Open to the Healing Light, Love,
and Power of Your Soul

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love and The Soul.

Within you, from the first breath you take to the last breath you take, there is a part of you that you may not be aware of.

As you move through your life experiences and adventures you may pay little or no attention to the spark of Divine Light that is known as your Soul.

Or, you could be someone who through either prayer, contemplation or meditation has throughout your life sought the spiritual side of life.

Certainly, prayer, contemplation, and meditation are all practices that can enhance and empower your life. But to open to the healing Light and the Love and power of your Soul there is a step in your spiritual journey that we as human beings usually find difficult.

That step is surrender.

In our human arrogance as co-creators with the Divine force of Creation, we tend to believe we are the sole masters of our destiny and our life. And, to some extent that is true, for as a co-creator with the Divine we have been given immense power to influence the way our life emerges through the Universal Law that “energy follows thought.”

But, as powerful as that principle is (and it is very powerful), being human requires a delicate dance between our physical and material nature and our Soul or Spiritual nature. We as human beings were created as co-creators to live and be in relationship with the Divine (however you define that Divine Source to be.)

The theologian Martin Buber described it in a way that reveals our right relationship with the Divine to be an “I-Thou” relationship.

In that relationship, you are empowered to be emboldened to create and resolve the many problems of the material world while still remaining surrendered to and aligned with Divine Will.

Through that “I-Thou” relationship you are able to be both fully human while remaining respectful and honoring the Divine Spark that distinguishes humanity from all other life on the planet.

You, of all of life and of all of creation, are unique because you were created and endowed with a spark of the creator to live and grow as a bridging being between Spirit and matter.
– Genevieve Gerard

You are unique because you were created and endowed with a spark of the creator to live and grow as a bridging being between Spirit and matter. This was not an accident. This was part of the purpose and plan of evolution that is important to the whole Universe. How to merge matter with Love.

Your body is built of material substance. As such, it lives and then it dies.

But you, what truly makes you, you are a spark of the Divine that is eternal, that is your Soul. Your Soul cannot die. It is the seat of your consciousness.

Learning to Love happens in your Soul. Connecting to another and building a bond of Love creates something that is beyond either time or space because Love is created by the merging of the physical and human experience with the eternal and spiritual experience. This is a part of the great mystery and miracle of life.

That the nature and essence of your Soul is Love means that when you learn to Love there is a surrender of your ego and emotions to what it means to Love. It is not surprising that learning to Love and what is called “falling in Love” is resisted.

Surrender is not easy, but so sweet and amazing that it makes everything in life worthwhile. If you have ever loved you know that is true.

Fear, the fear of being hurt, fear of losing yourself, fear of being vulnerable and needing someone are all of the tricks of the mind and emotions that may try to keep you from Loving. The human, solitary part of you may resist and reject Love. But your Divine Self, your co-creator self that is your Soul knows the truth. You were born to Love.

Once you surrender to Love everything changes. The term “falling in love” is well chosen because in that surrender you don’t know how it will change.

It is only by opening to the joy and adventure of living and loving that you can fully express your potential to live the life of your dreams.
– Genevieve Gerard

Once you open to Love you also open to the healing power and Light of your Soul. Love opens you to joy and demonstrates your unity and oneness that enfolds and embraces you. No matter what sorrow and loss life may bring, you know it is worth it because you have known Love.

Life is a song – sing it.
Life is a game – play it.
Life is a challenge – meet it.
Life is a dream – realize it.
Life is a sacrifice – offer it.
Life is love – enjoy it.
– Sai Baba

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Namaste,

Genevieve

Freedom To Experience Love Through Free Will

Genevieve Gerard

Freedom To Experience Love
Through Free Will

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

There is in a Spiritual Life the question of Free Will.

Free will is a tricky issue that has created questions since the creation of human life.

Free will is a fact of life. It is a fact that you and I must deal with in a myriad of ways, throughout all of our days.

Free Will To Choose Love

When the Creator first breathed the spark of Divine Light into his creation, free will came into the mix.

With the creative power that was granted to humanity came the possibility of mistakes; the possibility of defying God’s will and working either for or against the plan for His creation.

Free will affects the choices you make about what you use the creative power of your mind to manifest in your life. It affects how you respond to emotions you experience in the happening of your life. And, spiritually it ultimately brings you to the choice of whether you are guided by Divine Will or selfish desires.

The questions and choices that free will bring into your life are somewhat relentless. This is especially true when you realize the ongoing challenge of harnessing the creative power of your mind to create what manifests in your life.

Free will is a factor, especially when you must decide how to respond to the actions of others, who are also imbued with free will and may not act in ways you approve or desire.

You might find yourself wondering about the purpose of free will. After all, it takes only a quick look at life to see that people are often greedy.

At times, it’s hard to understand the purpose of free will. The purpose of free will is a question that speaks to the ultimate purpose of life.

Sometimes people make the wrong choices or act in ways that are clearly in conflict with the Law of Love, or even kindness or compassion.

This freedom you have as a human being, the freedom to choose between right and wrong; good and evil; love and selfishness is an ongoing challenge.

I have in my life experiences and through my meditations begun to believe that the ultimate purpose of life is to learn how to love.

Recently, I have realized that the only thing you can create in your life that is eternal is love. The only thing that ultimately lasts are the bonds of love that you create throughout your life adventure.
– Genevieve Gerard

With each and every experience in your life, you are choosing to either serve love or serve physical matter. In the ancient biblical language, you choose to serve God (whose essence and nature are Love) or manna (the material and temporal world.)

In ancient writings of the Ageless Wisdom, it is taught that matter, which has no love and cannot love, must ultimately be redeemed by love. A human being is the perfect blend of Spirit and matter. That task of redemption falls to humanity by learning to love and then demonstrating love by loving.

To learn to Love as you move through your life is meaningless without free will. To be compelled to Love would have no purpose, no power and most importantly, no joy.

Love is only valid if there is the freedom not to love. In fact, all of the choices that free will grants subscribe meaning and purpose to life.

It is the very opposites, the possibility to choose that makes all your choices have power.

Freedom To Choose Love

What you decide to do; what you choose to think and feel, are all a part of a Cosmic quest that is played out on humanities stage here on planet earth.

Freedom is an essential element in that drama. Freedom and free will are woven into the tapestry of life, your life and the life of every player on the stage with you.

It is this freedom to choose that gives purpose and meaning to the mundane events in life. It is the freedom to choose that determines how your story is written in the Akashic record of karma and consequence. The choice you make today in what you think, what you feel, and what you do are all a part of your creative process as a Child of God who was born in freedom with free will.

That freedom is important for it determines what you create in your life.

This brings us to a crucial question about the times in your life that when you are faced with a choice whether you choose to surrender and align with Divine Will, or whether you will choose only in consideration of your personal ego’s needs.

Invoking Free Will To Choose Love

The other day I was discussing this very issue with a spiritual friend. We were considering the matter of enlisting the help of Angels in life.

Free will enables a human life to choose to align with Divine Will, or not. I believe Angels may only intervene in human life in alignment with Divine Will. So, when you pray to Angels for help, you are automatically surrendering your “little will” to the forces of Love and Light.

For the ego, for your will, this may make it easier to align your will to Divine Will. You can freely invoke the aid and assistance of the Angels in your life as a tool for guiding your consciousness into an alignment of the wisdom of your Soul, and the insight and awareness of what is good and right.

Directing your attention to how to choose love, and teaching you about love is integral to your Soul’s relationship in your life. It is also part and parcel of the way the Angels work with humanity to help manifest God’s overall Plan for the evolution of humankind.

The issue of surrender, either to the Soul, to the Angels or Divine Will is usually not easy for the personal ego. Within the act of surrender is the key to empowerment that can vault your life into success and satisfaction that is beyond happiness. Ponder on this!

Demonstrating Goodwill as A Way to Learn to Love

One of the greatest mysteries in life is the awareness that it is by giving we receive. It is as if God set up a teaching behavioral reward system that can be summarized as “when I do good, I feel good.” We can add to that “when I serve others, I serve myself.”

Goodwill is equated with doing good in the world. For some, it may be easier to think of “goodwill to others” as easier than “love one another.”

So, like enlisting and petitioning the Angels for help may be an easier way for the ego and personal will to align with Divine Will, so may practicing goodwill be an easier way of learning to love. It is certainly simpler to do good than to demonstrate love.

When I do good, I feel good.
When I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my religion.
– Abraham Lincoln

No matter how lost in the illusions of separateness and selfishness you may be, your heart and your Soul long to love and be loved. Your Soul knows the truth about life and your heart wants to express love. Free will can disrupt that expression, but the will to love is an active force.

Free will is still subject to the underlying principle in life that “in all things, God works for good.” The very fact that “God is Love” (Jesus Christ 1 John 4:8) reveals the promise that “Love Wins.”

You can take comfort in that hope, for it is not possible to create anything that is not created out of the essence of the Creator. All the way down to the most material and base nature of your being, you are created with love because you were created by Love.

Love is ultimately built into your heart, your mind, and your Soul. No matter what mistakes you make with your choices in life, learning to love is the ultimate outcome. That is the safety mechanism within which free will resides.

Of course, you have more happiness and joy when you choose to love. To not choose love is its own punishment for it deprives you of the joys and blessing life is constantly offering you.

Knowing this, I suggest with kindness and compassion that for your life, you choose Love.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Experience Love Being First

Genevieve Gerard

Experience Love Being First

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

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

Genevieve Gerard

The Dance of Love Throughout Eternity

– Even in death love prevails

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 sense. We all seek to bond with others through love. That occurs from the initial bond of love that an infant seeks from its Mother. It 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

To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

To Love Truly Has the Power to Heal

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,

Open Yourself to the Love of Your Soul

Give Love, Live Love, Be Love

Genevieve Gerard

Give Love, Live Love, Be Love

Love is a powerful force in the world.

To give love and be loved is for many the pinnacle of satisfaction and success. For most people love adds meaning to every action in life.

The giving and receiving of love is a variable in life that may well be the most significant factor in personal happiness and success.

To have love in your life brings joy and a sense of well-being. It is interesting to note that both giving love and receiving love can be deeply satisfying experiences.

Love blesses the life of the giver and the one who receives love. Remember love can take on many forms.

It has long seemed too limiting that in language there is only one word to express a concept that is so complex and manifests in so many different ways.

To give love and live love is much more profound than to simply have a successful romantic relationship. Love can empower all of your relationships in a way that expands and enhances your success and personal gratification.

I have found that if you love life, life will love you back.
– Arthur Rubinstein

The power of love can also be seen all around you. If you stop and take a minute to observe life and think about what you see in the context of love, the many forms through which love is manifested will most likely amaze you.

Kindness, compassion and consideration are all expressions of love. Little things do so much to influence your day’s experience and the experiences of those around you.

When you begin to see love in the essence of its nature and expand your definitions beyond the limitations of romance, family, and even friendship, you can see the dynamic force of love that can influence and direct your life.

Long ago in my academic days when I studied philosophy, I explored the concept of situation ethics. In so doing, I gave great thought and consideration to evaluating in life a vast array of situations and circumstances the question of “how is love best served?”

Amazingly, that question is very complex. Love is not always simple and is rarely as simplistic as you might want it to be. So, to give love, live love and ultimately be love, involves principles that can both guide and transform your life.

Relationship interactions influence all areas of your life. And, whereas business relationships, casual relationships, and impersonal relationships may not be considered when you think about love, they clearly have a profound influence and impact upon your success and how pleasant and satisfying your daily experiences are.

This makes your capacity to give love a power that can support and affect your life in a myriad of subtle ways that has a profound result.

The transformation in energy that giving love brings to each and every life situation is empowering. Touching, even the most casual of human encounters, with love may have a profound result that you will never know.

A smile to a lonely clerk who recently lost their mate may give them the strength to face the lonely night. You can never know and need never know, the pain and sorrow of another, but when in your encounter with them you express love, you can help support and sustain them on untold levels.

Relationships and our inter-relationships with one another fuel so very much on an energetic level that every time and every encounter in your life that you give love, live love and be a source of the energy of love in the world, you are dynamically making the world a better place.

When you are a source for the precious gift of love in the world, even casual contacts through the day sense the energy you bring and are moved to respond to what you request and need.
– Genevieve Gerard

Amazingly, the more you share the energy of love in the world, the better, more successful and more joyous your life becomes. That awareness seems to be the genesis of the wisdom that “it is more blessed to give than receive.”

It is wonderful that by giving, especially when you give freely with no expectation or demand, there is a spontaneous response for people to give back to the giver.

This is an integral part of the Law of Attraction and an integral part of living a conscious life. Consider for a moment that when you smile at someone, really smile and share your energy through the smile, it is almost impossible for him or her not to smile back.

Years ago, when I lived in New York City, I used to try a little experiment on the busy city sidewalks. I would pick a distance, trying different lengths at different times, to make eye contact with someone coming my way and then smile at them. Since New Yorkers are notorious for hustling and bustling without smiles or eye contact, my behavior was a bit of an anomaly.

What I found was that as they drew near, there was most often a softening of their expression and that by the time we passed each other we exchanged a smile.

This little gift of warmth in our interaction helped me feel more joyful in my day. I think it gave them a little less stress, a little less anxiety, as it seemed that within a space of a few feet, I could make a connection of a smile and they would be a bit more relaxed, a little less anxious. That human touch had an impact.

Your influence, your impact on their life need never be known to you. It is a gift you can give freely with no expectation or demand. You have, by the very act of giving already received. Your world is a little better. You are a little happier. You are a bit more empowered to achieve your goals. Your energy is more open and expansive.

The simple instruction to give love, live love and be love
can have a profound impact upon your life.
– Genevieve Gerard

Try it! You will ignite a magnetic force to draw to you what you need by sharing what you can so easily give, a touch of love, a simple smile, the grace of contact and community.

You can at any moment open your heart and your mind to love. The love that you share will move through you. It can come from Source where Love is an aspect of the Divine and when you let it into your life, your heart, your mind and into your consciousness, you become a limitless source and force for good in the world, for love in the world, and for “right relationships.”

A Holding Love Short Meditation

A simple visualization meditation you might enjoy is to imagine that you can gather Love into your field and as it gathers you hold the Love.

Call upon Love as a viable energetic force from Source. Your call and your intention are to be a conduit for Love into the world. Open first your heart and your mind to the transforming Presence of Love.

As you call forth the energy of Love, realize that the Presence of Love is unconditional, transcendent and transpersonal. It can be given and received, requiring nothing in return. It is, in this form, pure energy that can flow to you and through you to others.

Take a moment to invite and invoke that Presence into your awareness and your field.

Affirm that you are now connected with Source. That the essence of Love and the Presence of Love flows to you as a radiating glowing Light represented as the golden fiery white Light of the Sun, filling your heart, your mind and your Soul with Love.

Let your whole aura be filled with the sensations of peace and joy and well-being that come with a touch of the Presence of Love. This is a gift to you and a gift that you can freely share. Since it comes from Source, there is an endless stream available to you whenever you call upon it or need it.

Open your arms as wide as you can to embrace and receive that down pouring Love energy. Gather Love into your arms and then taking your hands as receptacles, bring them to your heart and let your heart be filled to overflowing.

As you prepare to leave this visualization and return to your world and activities, realize that you are a dynamic instrument to give love, live love and be a force for Love in the world.

You are more powerful and more amazing than you know. Embrace the full scope of your being. Be an instrument of love in the world, in little ways throughout the day. It will magnetize people to you and draw to you what you need from the Source of universal abundance and the Will to Good.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Meeting Your Guardian Angel

Genevieve Gerard

Meeting Your Guardian Angel

In the realm of the invisible, where your Soul resides there is a Presence that you can bring into your conscious awareness that is your Guardian Angel.

To begin to open your mind and your heart to a greater and more conscious awareness of the Presence of your Soul starts you on a journey of living within the full scope of your being with your Soul a part of your conscious everyday awareness.

One of the benefits and blessings that come with this relationship with your Soul is that you can begin to be aware of, and access more of, the invisible world that exists beyond the material world of spirit.

I think we all do have a guardian angel. I believe they work through us all the time, when we are thoughtful and good and kind to each other.
– Roma Downey

Within the dominion of the Soul are the angelic beings that are, like your Soul, connected with and supportive of your life. Perhaps one of the most significant of these is your Guardian Angel.

You can connect with and develop a relationship with your Soul through Meditation by the act of invitation and invocation. You can also open your heart and your mind to the impressions and guidance of your Guardian Angel.

Meditation is the portal through which you can experience and discover a world more magical and fantastic than you had ever dared to dream. The nature of your Soul is Love and as you develop a conscious relationship with your Soul that Love and that Healing Presence becomes ever more available to your conscious mind and awareness.

This Love is Divine Love and is therefore unconditional. It rejoices in the good that you do with no requirement that you do good. It is available to you but makes absolutely no demands, and it gives, in response to each time you invite it through meditation, exactly what you are ready to receive, no more, no less.

The same is true of connecting to Guardian Angels.

The footprints of an Angel in your life are Love.
– Genevieve Gerard

Your Guardian Angel made a commitment to you, to your life, and whether or not you ever choose to become aware of that Presence consciously or not, it is there for you.

In this way, your Soul Presence and your Guardian Angel are alike. Both are composed of the essence of Divine Love. Both Love you unconditionally. Both await in readiness and willingness your desire for relationship with absolutely no demand or requirement that you ever turn to them.

The full extent of this incredible nature of unconditional love is beyond the typical experience of our human consciousness. It reveals the truth that God is Love, and on some level may explain some of the mystery of how God demonstrates and expresses Love to us through the emissary of your Soul and your Guardian Angel.

So much of the true nature of the life of the Soul and the Presence of the Guardian Angel is a mystery because the concepts of eternal life and eternal commitments of Love are beyond what our human personality, ego, mind or even emotions can truly grasp.

However, when you open yourself, your mind and your heart to the experience of Divine Love, whether it is through prayer or meditation, the grace and the joy that accompanies that inflowing blessing can be amazing.

Just know that when you turn your attention to Divine Love it is available to you for the asking.

When you open to the Presence, whether it be to call upon your own Soul for greater relationship, insight or wisdom, or to call upon God in prayer or your own Guardian Angel, there is no wrong way to do it.

How To Meet Your Guardian Angel

All of the teachers and guides who have ever walked the earth in the annals of time can only share their wisdom and insight from the perspective of what worked for them or what was revealed to them. Although their teachings or my own can be used as a guide, this journey is unique to you.

Your Soul and your Guardian Angel are both deeply committed to you and your life experience so that you learn, grow and manifest the plan and purpose that guides all lives. That there are an overall plan and purpose of evolution is to me both comforting and inspiring. To call upon your Guardian Angel and your Soul to receive the wisdom, insight, and revelation to understand and support your manifestation and fulfillment of that purpose just makes sense. To leave such powerful and dynamic resources untapped does not.

My writings and my guided meditations provide you, to the best of my ability, an opening to these energies. However; the experience you get when you make the conscious choice to open yourself to your relationship with your Soul or your Guardian Angel is completely individual to you, and it is determined by your readiness and willingness to be receptive to it.

That said I will provide you with a simple technique to use to open the portal to meeting your Guardian Angel.

A Simple Technique to Meet Your Guardian Angel

As always, I remind you to Calm Your Mind, Open Your Heart, and Invite the Light.

Sit quietly and receptively with the intention to come into conscious awareness of your Guardian Angel. It is always helpful in meditation to have your spine aligned and your feet firmly on the earth.

Bring your awareness to your heart and imagine a connection of Light from your heart to the top of your head (called your crown chakra.) Imagine that Light continuing to ascend to a radiant point of Light 3 to 6 feet above your physical head (which represents your Soul.)

Realize that by doing that simple visualization from your crown to the Light of your Soul you are building, with intention and etheric substance, a rainbow bridge to your Soul that is called the Antahkarana.

Then say in your mind and heart this
Mantra of Invitation:

Beloved Come

Infuse . . . Inflame . . . Instill . . .

Incorporate in living substance,

All Thy Will.

Then I recommend sitting quietly and receptively for the next 10 to 15 minutes. In that time if you are keeping a Spiritual Journal (as I recommend) you may wish to record the impressions and insights you receive.

Remember that communication with the Angelic realm and the Soul comes in the stillness.

An attitude of gratitude for what you have received is also always a good idea.

Once the time you have set aside for meditation has passed return to your daily life and agenda knowing you are enhancing and empowering your life by keeping this sacred time.

I know that your life will be blessed by this intention and invitation to Meet Your Guardian Angel. This ability is your birthright as a child of God.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Day after Day

“I use Gift of Love as my morning meditation. It’s pretty amazing how much Genevieve has put into such a short meditation but it serves to set the tone for my day.

I like the bell tones in the beginning and use her words, “Calm your mind, open your heart, invite the light” throughout the day as a sort of mantra. The mantra is particularly useful when I am confronted with family members who are afraid or in pain. I have a variety of meditations available to me but find myself returning to this one day after day. I wait patiently for the final flourish of tones at the end.”

Gift of Love is Right!

“I really enjoyed this meditation. It was much more than I expected and brought me into an awareness of just how connected we are to Spirit when we calm our minds and open our hearts.

The charge of love energy I felt was so tangible that I felt filled with it. A staggering amount of this love energy is available to us whenever we need it, if we only allow ourselves to connect and receive it. I’m doing this daily now and have seen positive changes in my life. Thank you Genevieve, for this wonderful gift.”
