Dare To Dream

Dare to Dream

Read Dare To Dream by Genevieve Gerard a Wisdom Wednesday blog

A key element of being successful is that you dare to dream.

Ultimately, you can only achieve what you have dared to dream.

Now is a good time to spend some conscious thought on what you want in your life. Then let your mind free as you dream the details.

Dreaming is an important part of creating success in your life because as Napoleon Hill wrote long ago,

Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

That makes dreaming not idle fantasy but an integral part of the creative process.

Imagining is a powerful tool in achieving. Imagination reveals things that you may just sense intuitively that are often integral to your success.

Dreaming and imagining open the consciousness to your Higher Mind and ultimately, your Higher Self, your Soul. Therefore, I encourage you to dare to dream and to dream in as much detail as you can.

As you do this, it is a good time to journal so that when you are dreaming, thoughts and impressions of how to create the life you desire, you can write the details as they emerge and have the ideas to develop consciously.

Dreaming and imagining, followed by conscious consideration of what actions help bring your dreams into manifestation is powerful. Napoleon Hill also said that, “Goals are dreams with deadlines.”

Achieving what you want in life is empowered by an integration of the forces of your desire and your intention. It involves planning and then putting your plans into action. When aligned with your life’s purpose you are not only manifesting your dreams, but you are also fulfilling your destiny. You have available to you, not only the power of your mind but, the wisdom and guidance of your Soul.

Success, when aligned with your Soul purpose, is spiritual work.
      – Genevieve Gerard

As you strive to bring your dreams into manifestation, you may notice thoughts, or encounter beliefs, that limit you or work against your success. It is in facing these challenges that the practice of meditation can be of great value. Meditation is a practice that belongs in the midst of life to help and support you in living a life of success and joy. It is not just for bringing calm to your mind and body. It can be an active force to help you grow into the full integration and the full glory of being both human and a spark of the Divine Plan of Evolution.

Meditation uses many techniques to help you live a conscious life. The more you are aligned with your Higher Self and are living with conscious attention and intention, the more successful and empowered you become. Meditation can influence your perspective in ways that bring greater joy and freedom from much of the negative self-talk that carries emotional pain and often result in dis-ease.

If you have followed my previous writings, or explored my meditation products, you will notice some very significant interwoven themes that are available to give you ways to live in joy. I hope these writings help you have a better life, a more joyful successful life.

Life is both an amazing gift from God and an amazing adventure in being and becoming all that you are meant to be. Being happy and successful are a part of the very best of what life can offer.

Meditation is Integral to Success

For me, meditation is integral to success on multiple levels. That is why I have created guided meditations to help you deal with a wide variety of life challenges. It has become a bit of an inside joke among my friends and family that when someone is expressing a life problem I often respond by saying “I have a meditation for that.” I think that is because I have used meditation in my personal journey to resolve most of the challenges limiting my success and happiness, a practice I continue to this day.

When I identify a difficult problem in my own life, or in the life of someone I am coaching or a friend, I ponder upon it and usually create a meditation to help bring greater perspective and understanding to how it can be approached differently, or reframed to eliminate the obstacle. Over the years, this has resulted in a wide range of meditations that help with all kinds of specific life challenges.

Involving my Higher Self, my Soul, in an active role has led to an integration of my body, emotions, mind and personality that incorporates the best of me, with the rest of me, resulting in a full and joyful life.

It is my dream and my life’s purpose to take the challenges, difficulties and even sorrows and pains and produce from them what can help others along their path. When I write and share my thoughts, my insights and solutions then it reframes my experiences into a service to help make life better for others. It is my Soul purpose and my joy to share with you the techniques and tools that come from my lifetime study of meditation and the Ageless Wisdom; to provide a practical application in life of the gifts of the spirit into integration to empower the experience of life.

Many obstacles along the journey can help or hinder your success. How you deal with these obstacles, the growth, and mastery you achieve, are all a part of conscious living and fulfilling your purpose in life. Using meditation to enlighten you and grant you the wisdom of your Higher Self, by learning to cope with life’s many challenges, is a way that you can direct and control your destiny.

Achieving success requires an integration of many aspects and elements. It is best achieved through the full integration of your whole body & being, for taking action is essential. Emotion and desire can fuel the fires of achievement, and your mind can be your most effective power as energy follows thought. When you add to this strong influence the dynamic guidance of your Higher Self, you have a winning synergy. Ponder on this.

Daring to Dream is a significant step in living the life you have envisioned. It is, however, only one step. Many have found their dreams shattered or never even started because of the limitation of letting your fears control your life. Learning to transmute, transcend and transform your fears so they are not a barrier to your success and happiness is a significant part of a spiritual path. Conquering your fears and overcoming your limiting beliefs is a task that requires discipline and vigilance. It is one of the best uses for meditation; it is one of the most transforming and empowering gifts that meditation can give.

Fundamental aspects of creating the life you envision include being successful in a variety of life’s trials. Some of these are basic. However, when you gain mastery over these challenges, life can be happier and healthier. Some may come easily to you; others may provide a greater challenge. It is in the integration and mastery of these life issues that growth and progress are demonstrated.

Ways To Find Your Purpose In Life

Ways To Find Your Purpose In Life

Read about Ways To Find Your Purpose by Genevieve Gerard

 

I believe each life we are granted has a purpose.

When you find it, you receive great clarity of purpose and there is a new excitement and enthusiasm that can fill every day of your life.

 

Your Purpose Is Unique To You

It is one of the ironies of life that your purpose is unique to you. That is why often following the advice of what has worked well for others, no matter how well-meaning or sincere that advice may be, does not usually reveal your life purpose to you.

I often use the words Soul purpose to describe your life purpose. There is a hint in that. When you align with your Soul in identifying your life’s purpose, you receive direction and answers that are uniquely yours. You also see the world from a more holistic perspective that incorporates a wider scope and wisdom than can be seen with the narrow perception of logic.

Follow Your Dreams

For many of us, our Soul purpose is a passionate dream that we have had since childhood. I have heard that dream referred to as our heart’s desire.

Often as a child, there is an unfiltered sense of knowingness about the meaning and the purpose of your life. There is often great wisdom revealed in those childhood dreams.

Sadly, those dreams are all too often ridiculed and demeaned as you grow up. A wide variety of adults, from parents to teachers, all want to guide you based on their life experiences, often letting their fears and limiting beliefs infiltrate the advice being offered without realizing it. Fears, often the fears of well-meaning advisors, can become roadblocks to following the promptings of your heart.

Instead, you need to listen to your heart and look for the guidance you can draw from those limitless childhood dreams and passions to give you a direction to consider.

Listen To Your Higher Self

Calling upon your Soul and listening to the quiet promptings of your intuition, may not be the mainstream way that most people approach this exploration. When we observe around us or read the stories of those who did follow their heart’s desire, even when they had significant obstacles to overcome to fulfill those dreams, we see people living happy and very successful lives.

It seems to me there is a message in that observation. Ponder on this!

Take the time to do some Soul searching and make a list of the things you do for fun, you are passionate about and come by naturally. Notice how you feel about each one. Which one resonates with you and make you light up when you are of service to others.

As you increase the amount of time spent fulfilling your life’s purpose, you’ll notice it’s easier to make decisions in life with your purpose in mind.

To aid you in your call to the wisdom of your Soul and to help you find your own unique path and purpose in the world, there are meditations that can be used.

I Have A Meditation That Can Help With That

As I write these words, I am reminded of a friend of mine recently teasing me about saying,

I have a meditation that can help with that.”
        – Genevieve Gerard

That is true because in my experience meditation unlocks the wisdom of your Soul in a way that opens you to new insight and perspective about many things in your life.

Since almost all of the meditations I have ever created were in response to someone’s life challenges, I would love to explore with you how to use the wisdom of your Soul to help you identify your life’s purpose.

This exploration includes a way to open your heart and your mind to the prompting of your Soul, which is often a glimpse of real intuition.

Meditation To Find Purpose In Your Life

To give you a taste of how you can use meditation to tap into your life purpose, try this short example below.

Calm your Mind, Open your Heart and Invite the Light.

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

As you calm your mind, declare your intention to Touch your Soul with this meditation.

Sitting quietly, open your heart and your mind to the Presence of your Soul and invoke and invite its love and its wisdom to guide and direct your life.

As you call on your Soul it may help to imagine your Soul as a radiating golden-white Light that is about 3-6 feet above your head.

As you call upon your Soul, say this mantra with intention:

I call upon the Light, Love and
Wisdom of my Higher Self
to guide and direct me.

 

I ask that through my meditation
I will receive clear insight and
understanding of how I can
best fulfill and manifest
the purpose of my life from
where I am in my life, right now,
with what I have in my life, right now.
        – GG

Then as you take a deep breath, relax as deeply as you are able.

Open your mind to receiving the thoughts and impressions of your Soul through your mind and through your intuition which is a way your higher mind, which is aligned with your Soul and serves as a messenger of your Soul.

Now taking a deep breath imagine that golden light descending to the top of your head as it fills your mind.

Then, sit quietly and receptively for the next ten minutes, recording in a journal any thoughts, ideas, and impressions. Let the flow be open and spontaneous right now.

Know that later you will have the opportunity to engage your logical mind and consider the ideas and impressions you have received. Right now just record as much as you can without editing or filtering.

When the 10 minutes have passed, then take a deep breath as you bring the Light of Your Soul into your heart and let it rest there, repeating a deep breath and letting your heart be filled with the Light of your Soul and the Love of your Soul.

At this time, take a moment to release any self-criticism and self-judgment.

Let the love and the grace of your Soul permeate your whole begin as you put all that has ever been before you aside. It no longer has power over you.

Right now, the past is over and finished. Let yourself appreciate and enjoy the grace and the freedom of that fact.

Before you is a future of unlimited possibility.

As you conclude this meditation, take a final pause to express your gratitude that your Divine Self is available to guide you. The Light of your Soul will direct you as you go forth into your life with the intention and desire to fulfill the purpose of your life.

 

               – Genevieve Gerard

 

I encourage you in your quest and wish for you that the rest of your life be the best of your life, as you embark upon the adventure of fulfilling your Soul’s purpose for your life.

Namaste,

   Genevieve
