You Are Not Alone

-Connecting through Love

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:

Love creates a bond that is not limited by either space or time.
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.
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,

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Genevieve Gerard

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Anxiety in life is a problem.

It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults suffer from anxiety of some kind in the United States.

Globally, 1 in 13 suffers from anxiety.

Surprisingly women are twice as likely to be affected as men according to the Anxiety and Depression Association.

According to the Anxiety Centre,

Those who have an anxiety may show these conditions:

Regularly feel overwhelmed
Feel nervous in many social situations
Are more often sick
Regularly feel unsettled
Often feel out of control of their health and life
Experience higher levels of overall stress
Often struggle with low self-esteem

Read more anxiety conditions…

Have difficulty managing pressure

Have higher expectations of themselves and others

Feel returned love is performance-based

Often have unhealthy boundaries

Are often workaholics

Often have unhealthy relationships

Visit the doctor more often

Tax the medical system (with frequent trips to their doctor or emergency rooms)

Are more likely to take medications

Are more likely to have other health problems

Are overall more unhappy

Experience erratic emotional behaviors

Feel disconnected or detached from reality and life

Often feel they are just on the edge of losing control

Often aren’t reliable (because their symptoms may prevent them from following through)

Become inward focused and dwell on their health condition and personal problems

May jump from relationship to relationship in search of perfection

May jump from job to job because of higher levels of stress

Live a restricted lifestyle (within their self-imposed “safe zones”)

Feel life is passing them by

Question their faith and God’s presence in their lives

Feel at a distance from God

Often quick to get angry

Unfortunately, they also state that only 10% of those suffering from anxiety receive effective help.

I believe that the issue on which you may have focused anxiety is actually focused on an illusion around which you have woven sufficient energy through your fears that it can feel very real.

It is important to realize that feeling something is real does not make it real. It is important to recognize this when you want to conquer your anxiety.

If you sit quietly and examine your thoughts and feelings that are fueling your anxiety, you will most likely realize that it is a lot of projections that begin by imagining “what if ____ happens?”

That awareness begins to unravel the substance of the anxiety to allow you to be free from it when you realize that whatever you are imagining has not happened, and may not likely happen.

You must remember that your fears and your anxiety are a projection of your mind, mixed in with your imagination, not only about what “could happen” but often what you imagine others could be thinking or feeling.

None of your imaginings are real or true.

Realizing that your anxiety and the thoughts and emotions that are creating and fueling your anxiety are neither real or the truth, is a first step in relieving yourself from the tyranny of anxiety with which you are torturing yourself.

It might sound strange but a way to relieve your anxiety is to understand the principles of how the Universe works.

Unfortunately, when you suffer from anxiety, you are using a Universal Law that “Energy Follows Thought.” That principle, that Law, is a gift and when rightly used can empower you to stand as a co-creator with the Creator and manifest the life of your dreams.

The Universal Law that energy follows thought becomes distorted and destructive when you let your fears use this dynamic creative energy to create a web and maze that begins to take on the substance of matter to lock you into your thoughts and mind.

By using the creative power of your imagination, you can, unfortunately, feed your fears and fundamental distrust of life until your anxiety is so painful and intense that it can control your life. However, you can use the same principle to free yourself from your anxiety.

The Law that energy follows thought is real manifests from an aspect of the Law of Attraction. However, when you are trapped in the emotional experience of anxiety, you have turned that power against yourself.

Anxiety is the result of creating in your emotional body and mind, all of the horrors and nightmares you can imagine, and being an intelligent and creative being, you can imagine a lot.

The Keys To Free Yourself From Anxiety

The question with which you are faced with if you suffer from anxiety is how to free yourself from that trap? The most powerful tool that you can wield when experiencing anxiety is the TRUTH.

Discriminating between what is real vs. what is created by fear, worry and anxiety is the key to freeing you from being trapped by the tyranny of your emotions and your mind.

Asking yourself for a reality check is a dynamic tool for relieving anxiety. Is this real? Did it happen? Or, am I just projecting and imagining what could happen?

The power of your thought is to create, however; you can have control over your thoughts.

Even though the creative power of your mind can be incredible, the illusion can feel so real that you can feel powerless to release it. I believe because your anxiety is created by emotional and astral energy, it cannot manifest in the world of matter.

The key words in this thought are that it “feels real.” Just because something feels real does not make it real. So one of the steps in relieving anxiety is to begin to be aware that the feeling is an illusion. That does not mean that doesn’t seem real, but appearing real and being real is different.

The good news for you, if you suffer from anxiety, is that you have proved that you have a compelling mental body. When you learn to use that force for you rather than against yourself you can use it activate your power to manifest your dreams and desires.

To release yourself from the tangled web of emotions and fears that have kept you trapped inside the web of anxiety you have woven, you need to understand how to use your creative energy.

Once you have allowed your fears to form and to become so much substance it produces anxiety, it is critical to shift and engage in the process of transmutation, transformation and ultimately transcendence.

That power is yours. That ability is uniquely yours.

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.
– Wayne Dyer

You can relieve and release your feelings of anxiety by applying a test of truth to them.

Doing that works with the laws of energy that respect the fact that whereas you cannot destroy energy, you can change its form.

When you change its form, you can relieve your anxiety and release your fears. Once you have done this, you can use the creative talent that you honed to perfection in creating anxiety to create the life you desire.

You can use the same Universal Law and power that you turned against yourself to gain mastery of your life.

Relieving anxiety and transmuting, transforming and transcending the emotion of fear that underlies and is interwoven within it requires a conscious choice.

To help you with that choice I have created a short simple visualization exercise to start to relieve and release your anxiety.

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety Visualization

Click play icon below to listen to me reading this visualization to you (under 2 minutes)..

Sit quietly and begin to breathe deeply.

Fill your lungs from the bottom up, first relaxing your stomach muscles. As you take more and more air into your lungs, let your chest expand and fill.

Then let the air expand into the upper part of your lungs even raising your shoulders a bit topping off your breath.

Imagine a flock of white birds before you. These are healing birds, here to take your anxiety away.

As you breathe out give your breath to this healing flock of birds. Let them absorb your anxieties and fears until you have no more air in your lungs to offer them.

Now, imagine, visualize, see them flying away. They are flying higher and higher, further and further away from you until they are out of sight, and out of mind.

Now let your breath return to normal. You may be aware of how much more peaceful and calm you feel, right now.

You can do this little exercise whenever you need to release your anxiety.

Tools to Release Your Fears and Anxieties

There is, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom a meditation technique that works to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts.

It is a technique that I used in my own spiritual life hundreds of times a day to gain mastery over my fears and anxieties.

It is such a powerful and life-transforming technique that I created two guided meditations to teach it. 1.) A shorter and simpler version called “I Am Feeling Free” and 2.) A longer and more detailed version called “Feeling Free.”

These meditations, once you learn how to move the energy with intention, can be done in less than a minute.

They can also be done as you move through your daily life to release your fears and anxieties as soon as you become aware that you are becoming trapped by them. What is great is that no one else can see you or know you are using them. It puts you in control of your feelings.

You move the energy with the power of your mind, your intention, your will, your breath and the engagement of your Higher Self.

You are, with these brief meditations able to exercise your control in your life, over your mind and emotions. It is your power to use.

Becoming free of your anxiety, freeing your life from the tyranny of fear will change your life.

Unweaving the web of anxiety that you have built and created takes using these tools that have been handed down by those who guided humanity on the path of enlightened awareness for eons.

These meditative tools are now available to help you master your fears and anxieties so you can be and become all that you are meant to be, that you can live the life of your dreams and fulfill your Soul’s purpose in this life.

Know that meditation can be the portal to your Soul (your Higher Self). You can use the power of your Soul to free you from your anxiety and fears and to empower you to use your mind as a force for good in your life and good in the world.

Isn’t today the day you would like to begin the process of unraveling the illusions and fears that have kept you trapped within your anxieties? There is no better time than Right NOW to Take Control of your life.

Your intention to transform your life and heal your life is an excellent place to start.

Your fears do not serve or help you. And, indeed, your anxieties do not serve you or empower you.

It is your choice to make, but it is both possible and advantageous for you to choose mastery over this life challenge.

Today is the day, and now is the moment that you can choose to live your life freeing yourself, being and becoming your whole self.
– Genevieve Gerard

With the right help and healing, those who have experienced an anxiety condition can:

Regain control of their health and life
Live a balanced, happy, and fulfilling life
Have happier and more fulfilling relationships
Become the individual they always thought they could be
Reconnect with life in a more rewarding and satisfying way
Live an unrestricted lifestyle ready to tackle any challenge

Read more benefits of overcoming anxiety…

Express themselves like never before

Experience a more stable work environment

Freedom from medication and/or drug use

Reconnect with their faith and feel God’s presence

Have a closer relationship with God

Live a more accepting life, appreciating uniqueness and imperfection

These are just a few of the many benefits healing and a return to renewed health can bring.

Now is the moment to call upon the strength of your Higher Self to empower your personality. It is your life and your choice. I recommend freedom. I recommend truth over fear and illusion. I recommend taking control and finally feeling free of anxiety.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Longing to Be Loved

Genevieve Gerard

The Longing to Be Loved

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

As we enter the new year I have been thinking about the need for Love.

Longing for Love seems to be a common denominator of the human experience.

Have you ever wondered why love is so important? Have you ever thought life would be a whole lot easier if you had never loved? Have you ever wished that you did not have this deep need bursting inside of you to give love and the even more troublesome need to receive love?

Love seems to be an inconvenient essential in life. Ironically, love is both the source of life’s greatest joys and life’s most profound sorrows.

Somehow, mystically and almost magically, learning to love is woven into the very fabric of life. Both the urge to love and the heart-wrenching need to be loved can be inescapable.

Since love seems to be so essential in life, you might think it should not be the source of so much confusion and pain. Since the need to love another and the need to be loved is so prevalent, you might think love would be easy to give, and easy to receive. After all, love is something we all need and all long to give.

The Life Lesson of LOVE

Why, I have often asked myself as a counselor and life coach, is it so hard for people to learn how to love, and why is it so hard for people to let themselves receive love? As I ponder this question, I am aware that I have come to believe that learning about love is one of the essential lessons of life.

As I say these words, I must clarify that I mean that love is much more than a life lesson, I mean that it is THE life lesson. I believe it is the lesson life was created to learn.

The need for love lies at the very foundation of human existence.
– Dalai Lama

Our world, our bodies, our life, is the simultaneous merging of what is material and temporal with what is eternal and spiritual; Love is what brings these two very diverse worlds together. Part of the life lesson of love is learning what and how to love. Confusing these issues is easy.

You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.
– Archbishop, Futon Sheen

The more I ponder and consider the meaning of life and my own life’s purpose I am aware that learning to love is the lesson we all are exploring in our life adventure. The way we learn to love may be unique to each individual, but the theme expressed throughout a myriad of manifestations is consistent.

The future success of humanity is dependent upon love winning, we all, you and me, must learn to love. Love is the underpinning for guiding and directing Right Human Relationships. Love is more than the passionate emotions of longing and attachment that are often ascribed to it.

Love Can Be the Answer to All Life’s Questions

Love ironically can serve as the guide by which you can answer most if not all of life’s questions. Since learning the lessons of Love seem to be the motivation behind life’s varied experiences I would like to suggest a little question I often asked myself when facing a decision. That question is:

How is Love best served in this situation?

It is not a simple answer. To give in and give someone what they want may not serve Love. This is a lesson that any family member of someone plagued by an addiction of any kind has needed to learn.

Love is not best served when you harm yourself in the name of Love. That is not Love. That is not what love requires of you. And, most importantly, that is not how you love unconditionally.

Misconceptions About Love

The Media and a multitude of “chick flicks” and romance novels propagate a lot of misinformation about Love. What may make a good drama because it accurately reflects the pain and pathos of emotions is not the guide for how love is best served in life.

These illusions and glamours about love lead to lots of heart-brake and heart-ache as you strive to make Love into what it is not to meet these fantasy images. That leads to a profound misunderstanding about the nature of love. That misconception is that “Love Hurts.”

It is not Love that hurts. It is unmet and unfulfilled expectations that hurt. Again, I state, it is not Love that hurts. It is actually the failure to Love that hurts.

To learn what Love is is essential. However, it is of as much importance to learn what is Not Love.

This is particularly difficult when the person creating harm to you or pain in your life tells you that they love you. It is important to understand what is not love, in order to free yourself from those who use the need to love and be loved as the basis for manipulating and harming you. This false identification of love is sadly the most significant abuse of the innate desire to love and be loved. It has left a string of broken hearts and broken lives across the planet.

Loving Yourself

Freeing Love from the illusions and misunderstandings that are often sold in the world as love requires understanding how to Love Yourself.

When you answer the question “How is Love Best Served?” loving yourself must also be considered.

Loving Yourself is an important life decision and an essential spiritual decision. The result of the illusions and delusions about love that media’s misinformation campaign has created is that you are tempted and encouraged to accept abuse and pain in the name of love. It is essential to discriminate and understand that criticism and abuse are not love.

Self-sacrifice is not noble. Allowing yourself to be harmed is against what Love means. Part of Loving yourself is creating boundaries and honoring yourself.

Balancing what is right to give in a situation with the self-respect and honoring yourself is what loving demands. It is the background against which learning to Love is played.

Sometimes giving someone what they want is not loving. Sometimes is not even helpful when you consider the whole situation. Woven into the answer to the question of “How is Loved Best Served?” is the awareness of the long-term implications of a situation, and the unintended consequences that can happen when you do not consider self-respect and harmlessness as part of the decision that is important.

This merging of the consideration of how Love is best served is stated eloquently by Shakespeare in Hamlet, Act 1 scene 78-82:

“This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.”

Loving yourself, being true to yourself, taking care of yourself are all important parts of learning to love. Not only learning to love yourself, but learning to love another.

The Longing to Be Loved & Give Love

The longing to be loved and the deep longing to give love are part of human nature. Yet, the yearning to give love and express love is also a part of your Soul’s nature. This makes Love both unique and important because it is in loving that your material and animal nature needs and desires can also express your Spiritual essence.

It is in this blending of your Soul (your Divine Spark) and your Personality (your body, emotions, and mind) that happens when you love another or are loved that a miracle happens. That miracle is that something that is eternal is created in your temporal and material life.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love becomes the bridge in consciousness that opens you to the life of your Soul, whose nature is love and whose very essence is Love.

Love is what makes life worth living. It is the core of personal joy and the essence of all meaningful relationships from friends to lovers.

Learning to Love weaves together in a fantastic life tapestry two essential lessons that make life work. One is how to love yourself, and the other is how to love another. In those lessons, you learn to express your dual nature as a human being and your Spiritual nature as a spark of Divine Light. Ponder on this.

Namaste,

Genevieve

As You Watch the Dawn Break

Genevieve Gerard

As You Watch the Dawn Break

You know there is a magic to the breaking of each dawn.

The fading of the dark reminds us that the Light is stronger than the dark.

No matter how hopeless things may seem, the emerging of the Light tells you that a new day is emerging, and with it come new possibilities and new opportunities.

With the emerging of the Light, you can shed the past. This day has never been before. The creative potential of today is just coming into being, born on the wings of the Light.

Let the winds of hope blow into your life. Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Dare to dream. Dare to create the changes that will bring your life purpose into manifestation.

This moment as the world recovers from the dark ignites your will and intention to bring your dreams into being. Drop your fears into the flames of your desire and watch them turn to ash.

What will you make of this day? Will it mark the turning point where you open your heart and mind to the possibilities that life is offering you?

The Light reminds you that today has never been here before.

Something spectacular can be created today, something that has never been before. Take a step into your destiny with gratitude for this opportunity to create your life.

Your thoughts, your dreams, your desires become the directive force by which life gathers substance for creating. Use them to create all that you need from the rich abundance of the Universe.

Seize the day. Open your life to the power of success. Look around you and see where you can do something good. Where can you and your life make a difference? What can you do today that you have never done before? This dawn, this moment is bursting with creative energies.

Your life has a purpose, a purpose only you can fulfill. You have been blessed with the creative power of your mind to achieve that purpose. You were created to do just that at this moment in time.

Call upon the wisdom of your Higher Self for inspiration. Shed your doubts, your fears and any limiting beliefs that may have held you prisoner in the past. The past is over with the coming of Dawn’s Light. Today is a new day.

Call upon your guiding and guardian angels to guide you. Calm your mind as you open your heart. Open your life to the Divine abundance that is yours as a child of God.

All that you need to manifest your destiny is promised with the dawning of this new day.

Take a deep breath and realize that life provides you with the air for free. What else is available for you for free that you may not have seen before because like the air it is invisible? Draw in the energy you need from the Source of the Universe that provides freely from its rich storehouse of abundance for you.

Accept the blessings that surround you to create the life you desire.

Harness the tremendous creative power of your mind.

You are the most important person you will talk to today.
– Zig Ziglar

Believe in yourself.

Create goals as you realize that:

Goals are dreams with deadlines.
– Napoleon Hill

This day will never come again. Use it wisely!

New opportunities are emerging everywhere. Open your eyes and let them see what is possible. Open your heart to the unlimited potential that is your birthright, open your mind to creative solutions and open your Soul to guide your steps.
– Genevieve Gerard

There are within this day 1,440 moments, and at each moment you decide. That gives you 1,440 opportunities to transform your life NOW.

That “energy follows thought” is a rule of the Universe. Use that Law to manifest what you have dreamed. Harness that energy with joy and celebration that as the Light overcame the darkness, you can overcome whatever challenges or obstacles life may have placed in your path.

This Universal rule that “energy follows thought” is the key to the “Law of Attraction.” It is the power to transform your life into the life of your dreams.

The ability to transform your life and your world is in your heart, your mind and your Soul. Open to the guidance they provide. Open to the promise of this new day.

Today I Choose To:

Put away my doubts by asserting I Can and I Will.
Conquer My Fears by realizing they are false illusions that I no longer need.
Invite my Higher Self to infuse my mind with creative solutions.
Open My Heart to Love.
See through the Eyes of Compassion.
Express Gratitude for the many Opportunities and Blessings that are coming to me today.
Do what Kindness I can along the way.
Celebrate the Wonder and Majesty of life.

Let the power of the new day infuse you with a new way of being.

Dare today. Dare to dream. Dare to try new things. Dare to silence your fears. Dare to claim your birthright as a co-creator with God. Dare to dance to a different drummer. Dare to connect with your Soul today.

All of these possibilities come with the hope, promise, and power of the dawn, the dawn of today.

Namaste,

Genevieve

When You Love You Transcend Mere Emotion

Genevieve Gerard

When You Love, You Transcend Mere Emotion

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Love can heal your life.

Love can transform your life.

And in many ways, love is the most powerful and profound thing that you do in your life adventure.

This refers to the power of Love which is both transformative, and by its very nature takes you into what is Divine. To love is a bond that is eternal and timeless. Love is unlimited by time and not confined by space.

Love is so powerful and profound that it transcends even the tyranny of death. The reason that love has all of this magical and mystical power is that it is much more than an emotion.

It is easy to fail to understand love in the midst of media and movies dramatic fantasies of what it means to love. A lot of misinformation about love is the fuel for stories that are not about love at all, but rather are demonstrations of need and desire. The cycle of attachment, need and desire are all too often described as love. This failure in society to understand the real power of love makes it more challenging to recognize love when you do experience it.

Perhaps, the best way to clarify what love is is to consider that love is much more than emotion. Although when you love someone, you may feel many emotions, these emotions only serve to open your heart and your mind to let you learn how to love.

When you love, you transcend mere emotion and move into an awareness that is more vast and significant than just feeling.
– Genevieve Gerard

Ultimately, love is where you co-exist as a miraculous creation. As a human being, you are a multifaceted and complex being. You have a body but are more than your body. You have emotions, but you are more than what you can feel. You have a mind, but your mind is greater than what you think. And most significantly you are a Soul.

Love is the great synthesizer because Love unifies you into the full mystical expression of your unified self. Love reveals the miracle of a complex being who is simultaneously both physical and Divine.

Love is a great teacher that is so marvelous and powerful that it teaches you to transcend your dual nature as a human being (a physical and material being) who is concurrently imbued with a spark of Divine Light.

Love is the place where you can bridge your eternal self with your mortal physical self. That makes love the most formidable experience in your life’s adventure.

That also makes it possible to merge into your understanding of love a great deal that is not love. This merging and projection is part of why many fear to love. They associate love only with the emotions of “falling in love.” The falling in love experience can be an opportunity to open yourself fully to love. In that experience, your Soul merges with another. That is a blending of being that enables you to celebrate a unity of heart, mind, and Soul.

Although marvelous, loving someone is often threatening and frightening to the separated individualize identity of the self. Sadly, when you are given the opportunity to love it is painful if you cling to your isolated self and project your needs and desires upon the one who is the object of your love. You may then bring away from the experience of trying and failing to love, the erroneous conclusion that “love hurts.”

If you are mature enough and wise enough, you may realize that it was your needs, desires, and attachments that hurt. I ask you to consider this statement and ponder upon what is different about love and your needs and attachments?

Even if you were only able to experience the spiritual transcendence of actually physical emotional for a few moments, consider, in retrospect, that the experience of transcending your needs and desires can be an enlightening one.

Consider, if you will, what you experienced when you let yourself move beyond yourself into the bliss of a unity of Souls. Even if that merger was not destined for your whole lifetime, in that brief transition from there is a powerful life lesson that can teach you about love.

Consider that in those moments that you were able to transcend your sense of isolation and better understand what love is. When you have loved beyond the emotions that led you to touch love, it can be helpful to learn some things about your human anatomy and your spiritual anatomy.

Within this understanding is the awareness of why learning to love is such an influential part of the human experience.

Love is the crowning grace of humanity, the holiest right of the soul, the golden link which binds us to duty and truth, the redeeming principle that chiefly reconciles the heart to life, and is prophetic of eternal good.
– Petrarch

With love, when you love beyond emotion into the very essence of what it means to love you are blending and merging two very different worlds. You, as a human being are a temporal material being. You are born into a material body. Your five senses guide you. You have a physical body that has very specific needs. Among these is: food to eat, shelter from the elements, and water to drink. Along with these requirements are a lot of desires. See my Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs in my “Ways to Relieve Stress” blog post.

A most significant part of your human experience is also emotions. Many of these are vast and drive your life. Your emotions are a dynamic part of your anatomy. Fear, shortage, loss are all powerful motivators. Beyond your physical senses, emotions are one of the most influential parts of your human experience.

Your mind and ability to engage in thought also join this human experience as a controlling aspect of the human experience. What you think, and the very content of your thoughts is a dynamic creative force in your life. Read my “Keys to Harnessing Your Thoughts” blog post for more insights.

These three parts of yourself are then integrated and merged into your personality. Your personality is the integrative force that enables these seemingly diverse parts of your being to function.

This integration of your body, emotions, and mind under the direction of your personality are a vital part of the wholeness of your being.

Your personality is then available to further merge and integrate with the non-material aspects of your consciousness, your Soul. It is with this dynamic and transformative step in your consciousness that the essence of love is finally revealed, not limited to your emotions and thoughts or expectations but in the miracle of the blending of Souls.

It is when, with your personality and physical emotional and mental parts of your nature you are finally able to move outside of the material world and move into the eternal, transcendent and transforming aspects of love, that everything can open and change.

When you love someone, you bridge from the world and limitations of matter into that which is Soul, Eternal, and Divine. You can then leave behind the restrictions and limitations of the material world and open yourself to that which is timeless, and endless.

Love is so much more than emotion; for when you love you transcend the temporal and enter into the eternal.

Love is a miracle that blesses our life. It remains as a living, moving, expanding and contracting life lesson that teaches you how to live in the dual existence as a physical being who lives a span of years and then must return to the dust of matter to consciously blend with the part of your Self that is eternal.

It is when you open your heart and your mind to love that you can transcend the limitations of your human experience and enjoy the world of your Soul which is limitless, endless and beyond both time and space.

Love serves both worlds as a bridge from the finite to the infinite. Love never ends. To touch the eternal with the temporal physical world which does someday end is to have the opportunity to dance into eternity. That you can experience this by learning to love is a miracle.

When you learn to love another no matter which of the many and diverse forms that love offers during your life’s adventure you can create then you form a bond that is eternal and amazing.

Celebrate this miracle of love as many times and in as many ways as you can!

Learning to love is the greatest part of the human experience.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is the one part of your human material existence that bridges to your spiritual and eternal aspect of yourself.

It teaches you to live in the dual awareness of the physical with the profound awareness of your Soul.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Are You Awakening to the Light?

Genevieve Gerard

Are You Awakening to the Light?

The word awakening is used a great deal among the consciousness community to describe an emerging awareness that is evolving in the world today.

It is for our time in the evolution of humanity the word most often used to describe increased awareness of the spiritual part of yourself, your Higher Self, or Soul.

The word awakening has, in modern times, come to replace the word
enlightenment or illumination. Although the process of awakening, without a doubt, leads to ever increasing enlightened awareness, there is within the concept of awakening some underlying assumptions that I think it would enhance the process of awakening to consider.

The subtle and yet powerful difference in the use of the word awakening instead of the word enlightenment has within it the implication that what you are beginning to understand and what is emerging ever more into your consciousness is more a process of remembering. It implies an acknowledgment of what you already know, more than a process of learning or discovering something new.

If you consider that an integral part of who and what you are is a spiritual being having a physical human experience this all makes perfect sense.

Awakening implies that you are emerging from a dream or illusion, realizing what is real. That concept has within it a myriad of assumptions that are worthy of exploring. Most significant is: what are you awakening to and what are you awakening from?

It seems that the concept of awakening has captured the imagination of many who are reaching for spiritual enlightenment because it gives a hint to a deeper awareness that rings true in the human heart.

As I stated, the idea of awakening implies acknowledging and understanding something that was always known to you.

I like the idea of awakening because it affirms the wisdom of your eternal self (your Higher Self, your Soul) is communicating and revealing a deep truth to your personality self.

The concept that you are a temporal and material being, concurrently with your awareness of your nature as an eternal being is the beginning to the adventure of awakening .
– Genevieve Gerard

Your Dual Nature

Since the dawn of time, the dual nature of the human experience as a physical, emotional, mental being and personality has co-existed in the human consciousness with an internal awareness of the Self as an eternal Soul. This is one of the major aspects of enlightenment. The understanding that I am a material and physical being whose body will ultimately return to dust lies mysteriously beside the deep inner truth of your spiritual Self as an eternal being.

Everything we know is taught to us by God
as He casts His light over the world.
– Saint Augustine

That we are concurrently a physical and material being, while also the eternal spark of Divine Light is amazing. This awareness of the Self as both mortal and eternal has puzzled philosophers and spiritual leaders throughout the ages.

When I ponder these deep mysteries in the exciting context of the current revelations and awareness, I realize that it is love that teaches humanity about the eternal nature of the Soul. And, that seems appropriate because the nature of your Soul is love.

Ultimately, love is an eternal connection. In the deepest recesses of the human heart, beyond full comprehension is the awareness that love never ends. This is one of the most powerful and profound mysteries of the human life adventure.

It is by learning to love that we begin to comprehend this merging of our human awareness with the light of our Soul’s awareness. It is this merged being that is awakening to consciousness and expression in this dynamic time in human evolution.

The nature of God as love and the nature of the Soul as love combined with the understanding of love creates a state of being that is boundless. This leads our awareness into such mysteries as eternity and the eternal NOW.

The Divine nature of love takes the understanding of what it is to love out of the realm of limitations of matter then expands that experience into the awareness of love as an energetic force that is unlimited by either space or time, that is not confined by matter and therefore not limited by matter.

In this dual awareness, the mysteries of a new way of being and a new way of living are revealed. A concept such as accession becomes possible as you consider it is the consciousness and perspective that ascend as you incorporate your awareness of your Soul into your mind, into your emotions, and into your body and let it merge with your personality, ultimately merging into the wholeness of your being. Ponder on this.

This integration of your Soul and eternal spark of light with your body, mind, and emotions through integrating your Soul with your personality is an integral part of the consciousness of awakening.

This integration of the world of spirit with the world of what is physical and temporary is a significant shift in awareness.

This change in perception is a shift in human consciousness that changes everything. Functioning as a physical, emotional, and mental being that is also spiritual and eternal is a consciousness shift that expands your life journey.

That you can dually live in the eternal awareness of your consciousness as a Soul, while still functioning and responding as a personality, is a crucial part of the awakening process.

Meditation Is the Portal To Awareness

Meditation is the portal that can help you awaken to this dual awareness. Through meditation, you can begin to ignite the Light of your Soul and bring it ever increasingly into your awareness.

Connecting with your Soul through meditation opens you to the wisdom of your Soul which can be used to guide difficult life decisions. It can also connect you to the Source of Divine Love in life transforming and powerful ways.

That is the real spiritual awakening, when something emerges from within you that is deeper than who you thought you were. So, the person is still there, but one could almost say that something more powerful shines through the person.
– Eckhart Tolle

Awakening and incorporating your Soul (your Higher Self), with the life lessons that challenge your days, opens you to being a new kind of human being that is coming into being in this new age of evolution. Humanity is just now at the beginning of this new way of being.

The process of awakening is a dual process of being and becoming. Living in the Light of the Soul while also living as a Soul infused personality is a different approach to life. It is a new adventure for humanity.

After eons of human evolutions, this emerging Aquarian Age and the spiritual awakening that people are experiencing across the globe gives new hope.

I encourage and invite you to open your heart and your mind to the transformative touch of your Soul that guides you to this new spiritual awakening so you can live a more inspired, joyful and fulfilling life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Be the Change You Want to See

Genevieve Gerard

Be the Change You Want to See in the World

The new day dawns.

Once again I am reminded that the Light is victorious. This world gives us that reminder every day.

For me the transition from darkness into light every morning is one that brings joy and hope into my heart.

Yet, as I enjoy and appreciate the blessing of peace, love and joy that comes as the prequel to my morning meditations I am aware that for many the peace of mind and spirit that I enjoy is only a dream.

As I began my morning meditation with the question of what I can teach and demonstrate that will help and serve those who read my words this week, I became aware of how fear limits so many lives.

Recent geopolitical events, the Presidential impeachment hearings of Donald Trump, the threat of Countries being invaded, bombings and multiple acts of terrorism across the planet have raised the fear threshold.

As I write these words the logical part of my mind argues that the world has long been plagued by both wars and rumors of wars. Certainly in my lifetime I cannot remember a time of peace in the world.

It seems that new words are used to describe the “not peace” experience of life on the planet that deprives people of the peace that is so deeply desired.

Although in my life I spent great effort working for peace, being both an advocate and activist for peace, the only thing I could ever really achieve was inner peace, the peace I enjoyed in my morning’s meditations. Sadly, the peace in my heart and mind is not the peace in the world.

How Can Peace Be Achieved?

What can I do and what can you do to create peace?

As I pondered on this awareness a quote that Mahatma Gandhi made during his epic fight to end apartheid came to my mind. He said:

You must be the change you wish to see in the world.
– Mahatma Gandhi

As he fought against the evil of apartheid you can observe in his life and his writings something that is very important:

Evil cannot be overcome by using the tools of evil.
– Genevieve Gerard

Evil has a way of taking the forces of Light and converting them and perverting them to serve its purpose. Fear mongering, hate and anger can be dressed up by what is evil in the world to justify and encourage greater evil. Revenge and retribution long used, draped in patriotism and nationalism serve to perpetuate war and stimulate hatred.

Love Is Stronger Than Hate

Gandhi, in the midst of his life’s struggle for equality, and liberty realized, much like Martin Luther King did, that love was where the power is.

Recently, reactions to a variety of global acts have increased people’s fears once again. And fear seems to quickly be the handmaiden to hate. The well of man’s inhumanity to their fellow man seems to never run dry. If when you look at another who believes differently or dresses differently you focus upon what is different it is easy to create a belief in separateness. Yet, that separateness is an illusion. That sense of separateness is used to create fear and from that fear comes violence. That fear stimulates hatred and for some justifies acts of evil.

If when you look at someone you realize we are all more alike than different then the unity of the human experience stimulates compassion. Love is ultimately stronger than hate. The desire for peace can be a common denominator in our human experience.

Transcending fear is a part of the path to enlightened awareness. Learning to Love is what our spiritual journey is about. As Light by its very nature ends the darkness, so love ends hatred.

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.

I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word.
– Martin Luther King, Jr.

Be The Change You Want To See

Ultimately, you can choose to be the change you want to see in the world.

To bring love into the world you must love. To bring peace into the world you must be peaceful.

At times despite your best efforts you may not be able to achieve peace of mind. At times even when you strive to love unconditionally you may realize that your needs and expectations have more influence than you desire.

Compassion for others and compassion for yourself are very important. Forgiveness of yourself and forgiveness of others is a grace you can claim as you acknowledge that you are a work in progress.

Just to strive to be the change you want to see in the world is already a significant choice.

You are not perfect and fortunately you don’t have to be perfect but each time and circumstance in your life that you demonstrate unconditional love you have brought love into the world.

Each time you have forgiven, even what seems to be unforgivable, you are an instrument of grace and compassion.

Each time you conquer anger or the ravages of hate you are joining in bringing in the Light to dispel the darkness. Each time you are able to bring peace to your heart and peace to your mind is a victory.

The more life situations where you are kind, loving and treat others the way you wish to be treated you are an instrument of good in the world.

Do To Others What You Want Them To Do To You

Since the ancient times of Babylon when the code of Hammurabi was first written, a code of right relationship was created.

In many human religions, human cultures, and animal kingdoms it is believed that one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself. Today we know this as “The Golden Rule.”

The “Golden Rule” has been attributed to Jesus of Nazareth, who used it to summarize the Torah:

Do to others what you want them to do to you. This is the meaning of the law of Moses and the teaching of the prophets.
– Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 7:12)

It is such a simple concept, yet as I often say, “simple is not easy.” So much of what is wrong in the world would be eliminated if everyone followed that simple Golden Rule.

If you are considering how you can be the change you want to see in the world this simple golden rule is a good place to start. The Golden Rule is found in almost every religion and affirms the unity of the human experience in a way that acknowledges the principles of brotherhood of all humankind.

Imagine for a minute what the world would be like if everyone everywhere did only to others what they wish for themselves. Harmlessness, one of the most important parts of Right Relationships is inherent in the Golden Rule (checkout my article about the Golden Rule.) Right speech is also included.

Loftier and profound concepts such as love, forgiveness, and kindness are enjoined by this way of being. World peace is the logical conclusion. It seems that to fall back to this very ancient code of conduct creates the change that the world needs today.

Loving unconditionally and forgiveness may not be that easy. However, to treat someone in any interaction in life the way that you wish to be treated is eminently understandable. By the very application of this way of relating you are affirming unity with all of humanity.

So, today I encourage you to be the change you want to see by actively treating all who cross your path the way you wish to be treated. To do so is to be an agent for Light in the world.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Golden Rule

Genevieve Gerard

The Golden Rule

Not so long ago, the Golden Rule was seen as a guiding principle of right human relations.

It is a very simple basic way of determining behavior toward one another. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is simple. And, it provides a litmus test of what is right and fair in a myriad of situations. Because we all share the experience of our humanity, this rule has guided behavior from schoolyards to the halls of Congress for hundreds of years.

This simple yet profound moral compass pervaded decisions of determining right from wrong in a way that affirmed our unity. Embedded within that quiet determination were principles of responsibility for our interactions that presumed an interrelationship of a community. Inherent in posing the question at a decision-making juncture were absolute values that pervaded our thoughts and determined our interactions with one another down to very mundane and uncomplicated actions.

The very posing of this rule in determining our behavior toward another presumes a valuing of the other on a level of importance that is equal to our importance in life. This very act of valuing the life and experience of another on a par with our own already begins to correct the underlying problem we see in so many of the issues in our modern society –issues that seem to be insurmountable.

As the power of thought and intention are recognized, we find ourselves able to shift our paradigm. We return to considering that this ancient basic rule has far-reaching consequences in how we interact with others and with the world. I was taught that this rule, this “Golden Rule,” comes to us from the “Code of Hammurabi,” from time as ancient as that of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.

Is it possible that what was once kindergarten wisdom has been lost to our society, to both our danger and our detriment? Take five minutes to consider the world in which we currently find ourselves living, and the many little ways life would be vastly different if those in positions of power and authority put their decisions to this test.

Our Kids Understand The Golden Rule

Consider your family members, your neighbors, your coworkers, your employees, your customers; and think about how your life would be different and changed if, in those regular interactions, you made your decisions based on treating others as you want to be treated. Although the Golden Rule seems both straightforward and simplistic, if we as a society and a world would return to living this ancient wisdom it would have far-reaching consequences, righting much of what seems to be wrong in our modern times.

The principles of right action toward one another are often
simple to see but are not simple to do.
~ Genevieve Gerard

They require a valuing of others and a code of behavior that transcends much of what has in our modern times been elevated to acceptable behavior. Look at all of the damage that greed in business is doing to our world. The fact that there is even a business principle called planned obsolescence speaks to the ways our society has strayed from the logical results of living by the Golden Rule. The medical crisis, the housing crisis, the foreclosure crisis, the education crisis, and the unemployment crisis are just a few of our social problems that would be approached differently if the time-tested evaluations of the Golden Rule were applied.

The moral justifications that are moving away from this simple principle have created a slippery slope. Embracing this Rule once again will lay the groundwork for much of what must change in our society if we are going to thrive and survive into a future in which any of us wishes to live. History has demonstrated time and time again that selfishness and greed do not stop themselves. People must take a stand. They must choose. There is right action in the world and laws that help to maintain balance. This old rule, this Golden Rule, has within it the truth and wisdom to help us transform the world.

To bring the Golden Rule back into the collective thought-form of society has great power. In a civilized society, a principle of how it is right and more importantly how it is wrong to treat others is critical to maintain.

Since the Golden Rule has fallen away from being a standard of behavior that people demand and expect from one another, we have seen a rise in selfishness and greed that is both shameful and shocking. Somehow “looking out for number one” has developed into “it doesn’t matter what I do as long as I get what I want.”

This shift in our countries and our society’s moral compass has led to public servants serving their personal interests instead of considering the greater good of society as a whole. As I write these words, I remember as a child I was taught the quote below.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.
~ Edmund Burke

As truth has become subverted by “spin doctors” selfishness and greed have been dressed up and disguised as success. Somehow those who were entrusted as the guardians of our society have fallen prey to the lies that what is good for business is unfettered freedom, without consideration of how the practices of the business affect the society as a whole. No longer does Wall Street believe that “what is good for Main Street is good for Wall Street.” Somehow, there is the illusion being propagated that what is good for Wall Street is good for the world.

We can look around us and see the disastrous results of this kind of governance. People have lost faith and confidence that the government serves the greater good. Special interests and the interests of only a small percent (the often discussed top 1%) seem to have bought and paid for those who were elected and designed to be the guardians of the people.

As I consider a whole array of society’s dangers from the stripping of the planet of the rainforests to the science of global warming, I realize that the failure to teach this ancient moral code of the Golden Rule has left our world in a dangerous place.

You can look around you and see the disastrous results of our civilization having forgotten this simple moral test. I know that I could create a long list of dangers and problems that seem to stem from this failure to consider the consequences of destroying the nature that has sustained humanity since time immemorial.

Today, as I consider the many problems that cry out for a solution I ask that this ancient simple moral code is brought back into the collective consciousness and conscience.

I ask you to “do unto others as you would like them to do to and for you” in your daily life and interactions with others. I ask that you use the Golden Rule as a standard you demand and expect from those who lead our society.

I call upon every member of Congress, every member of the Senate, local and national, every judge, and every leader of business and industry, to consider their decisions based upon this simple principle of “The Golden Rule” and become agents of the transformation our world requires.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness

Genevieve Gerard

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness?

Recently I saw a quote from the Dalai Lama. He said, “My Religion is very simple, my religion is kindness.” That led me to consider what it would be like if people everywhere practiced kindness.

It takes only a few moments in any situation to see how rare and extraordinary kindness is. Even among friends and families, even while professing to love one another there is often cruelty. In many groups teasing is disguised as affection.

When that is the norm, there is an emotional confusion between what you experience and what you know to be true in your inner self. This confusion leads to misinterpreting what love is.

Is Teasing An Expression of Affection?

Teasing and sarcasm, two partners in cruelty disguised as love or affection are not kind. They often hide mean-spirited anger that is a way of one-upmanship and denigrating and insulting another.

That the cruelty is delivered cleverly or playfully is designed to cover up the meanness. And, the most damaging and harmful part of this way of relating with one another is that the person who is teasing and sarcastic claims to be showing affection. This leaves the target of the teasing and sarcasm disempowered. After all, says the attacker, “I was only teasing or playing.”

The playfulness or cleverness of the cruelty among those who practice this kind of behavior is supposed to render it harmless, but it never does.

This type of interaction still hurts, but the target is deprived of their expression of anger by the meanness being hidden in playfulness, being disguised as wittiness or affection.

What is so difficult about this kind of human interaction is that no matter how witty and clever the sarcastic quip may be, it still hurts. That hurt is real and for you to be told that it is loving attention is confusing. It is easy for a child to create confusion about what love is.

When I was a child teasing was a part of a lot of my interaction with adults. There was one friend of the family who was relentlessly cruel, rarely stopping showing me his so-called affectionate attention until I was in tears. Since he was “only teasing” I was not supposed to get upset. In fact, he often ridiculed me for my tears, teasing me further about crying.

Although I had not thought of this childhood teasing or this adult in many years, I realize now how harmful that “play” was. The most damaging part was not even the content of the teasing. The most damaging part was the LIE that his meanness was an expression of love or affection.

Deep in my heart, even as a very young child, I knew that cruelty was not an expression of love. Still, having the adults around me justified his meanness and created confusion about what it was to love. That was where the real harm was created.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood;
it may be equally outraged by silence.
– Henri Frederic Amiel

Each of us has within us an inner sense of truth and understanding of Right Action. When parents, teachers, or social norms teach something that violates that inner voice, it is very confusing and damaging to a child. A graphic example of this is when a child is abused and told it is love.

Sadly, childhood experiences of teasing or witty sarcasm, often a part of how teenagers interact, create a misunderstanding and confusion about what is loving behavior and what is not.

This confusion can lead to people not stopping abusive behavior especially when it is disguised as playfulness. When cruelty is received at the hands of a loved one, partner, friend, or parent something becomes disconnected. The disguise does not work deep within your heart, yet you may want to believe it is only “in fun.”

What I have observed with most people who use teasing and sarcasm as a way of interacting with others is a wave of underlying anger that peaks through. Since the anger seeps out wrapped in a package of joking it is not possible to confront the feelings honestly and bring them to the light of understanding.

The confusion that is created when you try to accept what is painful and disguised is sometimes called “crazy-making.” That is because of no matter what you are being told you have within you that innate sense of truth. The lie of cruelty instead of kindness will finally be revealed.

This innate sense of truth knows. Ultimately, you cannot lie to yourself.

Scripts People Live Story

I am reminded of a story told by Claude Steiner in his book “Scripts People Live: Transactional Analysis of Life Scripts.“

A Warm Fuzzier Tale by Claude Steiner

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived two happy people called Tim and Maggie with their two children, John and Lucy. To understand how happy they were you have to understand how things were in those days.

You see in those happy days everyone was given a small, soft Fuzzy Bag when born. Anytime a person reached into their bag they were able to pull out a Warm Fuzzy. Warm Fuzzies were very much in demand because whenever someone was given a Warm Fuzzy it made them feel warm and fuzzy all over.

In those days, it was very easy to get Warm Fuzzies. Anytime that somebody felt like it, he might walk up to you and say, “I’d like to have a Warm Fuzzy.” You would then reach into your bag and pull out a Fuzzy the size of a child’s hand. As soon as the Fuzzy saw the light of day it would smile and blossom into a large, shaggy, Warm Fuzzy. When you laid the Warm Fuzzy on the person’s head, shoulder or lap it would snuggle up and melt right against their skin and make them feel good all over.

People were always asking each other for Warm Fuzzies, and since they were always given freely, getting enough of them was never a problem. There was always plenty to go around, and so everyone was happy and felt warm and fuzzy most of the time.

One day an evil witch who made salves and potions for sick people became angry because everyone was so happy and feeling good and no one was buying potions and salves. The witch was ingenious and devised an evil plan. One beautiful morning while Maggie was playing with her daughter the witch crept up to Tim and whispered in his ear,

“See here, Tim, look at all the Fuzzies that Maggie is giving to Lucy. You know, if she keeps it up she is going to run out, and then there won’t be any left for you!”

Tim was astonished. He turned to the witch and asked, “Do you mean to tell me that there isn’t a Warm Fuzzy in our bag every time we reach for it?”

And the witch answered, “No, absolutely not, and once you run out, that’s it. You don’t have anymore.” With this, the witch flew away on a broom, laughing and cackling all the way.

Tim took this to heart and began to notice every time Maggie gave away a Warm Fuzzy. He got anxious because he liked Maggie’s Warm Fuzzies very much and did not want to give them up. He certainly did not think it was right for Maggie to be spending all her Warm Fuzzies on the children and other people.

Tim began to complain or sulk when he saw Maggie giving Warm Fuzzies to somebody else, and because Maggie loved him very much, she stopped giving Warm Fuzzies to other people as often and reserved most of them for him.

The children watched this and soon began to get the idea that it was wrong to give Warm Fuzzies any time you were asked or felt like it. They too became very careful. They would watch their parents closely, and whenever they felt that one of their parents was giving too many Fuzzies to others, they felt jealous and complained and sometimes even had a tantrum.

Even though the children found a Warm Fuzzy every time they reached into their bag they began to feel guilty whenever they gave them away, so they reached in less and less and became more and more stingy with them.

Before the witch, people used to gather in groups of three, four, or five, never caring too much who was giving Warm Fuzzies to whom. After the coming of the witch, people began to pair off and to reserve all their Warm Fuzzies for each other, exclusively. When people forgot to be careful and gave a Warm Fuzzy to just anybody, they worried because they knew that somebody would probably resent sharing their Warm Fuzzies.

People began to give less and less Warm Fuzzies and felt less warm and less fuzzy. They started to shrivel up and, occasionally, people would even die from lack of Warm Fuzzies. People felt worse and worse and, more and more, people went to the witch to buy potions and salves even though they didn’t seem to work.

Well, the situation was getting far-reaching indeed. The evil witch who had been watching all of this didn’t want the people to die (since dead people couldn’t buy his salves and potions), so a new plan was devised.

Everyone was given, free of charge, a bag that was very similar to the Fuzzy Bag except that this one was cold while the Fuzzy Bag was warm. Inside of the witch’s bag was Cold Pricklies. These Cold Pricklies did not make people feel warm and fuzzy; in fact, they made them feel cold and prickly instead. But the Cold Pricklies was better than nothing and they did prevent peoples’ backs from shriveling up.

So, from then on, when somebody asked for a Warm Fuzzy, people who were worried about depleting their supply would say, “I can’t give you a Warm Fuzzy, but would you like a Cold Prickly instead?”

Sometimes, two people would walk up to each other, thinking that maybe they could get a Warm Fuzzy this time, but one of them would change his mind, and they would wind up giving each other Cold Pricklies instead. So, the result was that people were not dying anymore, but a lot of people were miserable and felt frigid and prickly indeed.

The situation got very complicated since the coming of the witch because there were fewer and fewer Warm Fuzzies around and Warm Fuzzies which used to be free as the air became treasured.

This caused people to do all sorts of things to get Warm Fuzzies. People who could not find a generous partner had to buy their Warm Fuzzies and had to work long hours to earn the money.

Some people became “famous” and got a lot of Warm Fuzzies without having to give any back. These individuals would then sell their Warm Fuzzies to people who were “unpopular” and needed them to feel that life was worth living.

Another thing which happened was that some people would take Cold Pricklies–which were everywhere and freely available and coated them white and fluffy so that they almost looked like Warm Fuzzies. These fake Warm Fuzzies were really Plastic Fuzzies, and they caused additional problems.

For instance, two or more people would get together and freely give each other Plastic Fuzzies. They expected to feel good, but they came away feeling bad instead. People got very confused never realizing that their cold, prickly feelings were because they had been given a lot of Plastic Fuzzies.

So the situation was very, very dismal and it all started because of the coming of the witch who made people believe that someday when least expected, they might reach into their Warm Fuzzy Bag and find no more.

Not long ago, a young woman with big hips came to this troubled land. She seemed not to have heard about the bad witch and was not worried about running out of Warm Fuzzies. She gave them out freely, even when not asked. They called her the Hip Woman and disapproved of her because she was giving the children the idea that they should not worry about running out of Warm Fuzzies. The children liked her very much because they felt good around her and they began to follow her example giving out Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it.

This made the grownups anxious. To protect the children from depleting their supplies of Warm Fuzzies they passed a law. The law made it a criminal offense to give out Warm Fuzzies in a reckless manner or without a license. Many children, however, seemed not to care; and in spite of the law, they continued to give each other Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it and always when asked. Because they were many, many children, almost as many as grownups, it began to look as if maybe they would have their way.

As of now it’s hard to say what will happen. Will the grownups’ laws stop the recklessness of the children?

Are the grownups going to join with the Hip Woman and the children in taking a chance that there will always be as many Warm Fuzzies as needed?

Will they remember the days their children are trying to bring back when Warm Fuzzies were abundant because people gave them away freely?

The struggle spread all over the land and is probably going on right where you live. If you want to, and I hope you do, you can join by freely giving and asking for Warm Fuzzies and being as loving and healthy as you can.

Kindness can be described as a warm fuzzy. Like the warm fuzzy you know when you have received kindness.

As you considered the Dalai Lama’s statement that “his religion is kindness,” take some time to think what that would mean if everyone practiced kindness. I am sure it would make the world a better place. Imagine for a minute what the world would be like if everyone made a religion of kindness.

I would like to see kindness become contagious to epidemic proportions around the world. I encourage you to let kindness and compassion guide your actions and all of your relationships.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Open Your Heart To Love

Genevieve Gerard

Open Your Heart To Love

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

In this great university that we call life, there is perhaps no more important lesson we receive than learning to love.

Love manifests in our lives in so many different forms and circumstances that it is an ongoing opportunity to explore, experiment and express. If we open our heart and deeply consider what we have been learning in life that has given us the most joy and the most challenges, we can see that love is a predominant theme.

The great philosophers of old, most particularly Plato, defined love in three basic categories, that of Agape, how God loves us or how we are directed to love God; Philos, or love of friends and others; and the all important Eros, erotic or sexual love. And of course, the love of parents and children and family seems to be another important category.

Indeed, within these three or four very diverse categories that define love is enough lessons and life experiences to fuel millions of books, thousands of films and television scripts, and a seemingly endless stream of talk shows on media outlets around the world.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
~ Khalil Gibran

There is perhaps no greater desire in the human heart than that of both giving and receiving love. Of course, as with so many dynamics of our all too human consciousness, we seem to feel that it is better to receive than to give. But if we explore the experience of love, dispassionately and deeply, we may find that we receive as much if not more love by giving rather than receiving it.

This may explain the teaching of Jesus when he said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Love, and lessons about Love are without question exalted in the life and teachings of the Christ.

When we think of the span of our years and focus on the times we have loved and the ways we have loved, we may realize that those times and events where we gave love unconditionally created such joy that we treasure the experience throughout our life. If we hold those experiences in our hearts and consider the power of those times to guide and transform our lives, we will begin to understand more of the dynamics of this great life lesson called love.

An honest review of our life will reveal to us that the times we have succeeded beyond our expectations in giving love have yielded rich dynamics to our experience of living. Likewise, those times when we have failed, on either side of the experience of love, to either give or receive, have resulted in profound heart-wrenching pain and sorrow.

Contained within the lessons of love is a microcosm of the many consciousness shifts we need to make to live a life of joy. We truly do need to be aware of the benefit of mastering this great lesson of life. Love is best learned in the act of letting ourselves give love and equally important, letting ourselves receive love. Ponder on this!

If we open our hearts to give love, we are immediately transported into the joy and blessings of love.
~ Genevieve Gerard

Loving is an experience that is immediately reinforced by expanding and enhancing our life experience.

Therefore, to learn about love we need only to give love as fully and completely as we can and to accept all that love offers to our life. It is profoundly simple, but strangely, it is often not easy.

Opening to love opens us to so much of what is the very best of life that making a commitment to love is a powerful portal to the gifts of awareness and joy. I encourage you to open your heart to love and embrace this lesson as a great adventurer and explorer of life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Top 12 Lessons My Dog Bentley Is Teaching Me

Top 12 Lessons My Dog Bentley Is Teaching Me

In the course of life, teachers come from everywhere.

One of the most amazing things is what lessons we can learn from life about consciousness from our furry friends.

They are often an example of ways of “being,” that provide an important example in life.

Interestingly, with the amazing synchronicity that a teacher appears when a pupil is ready, it seems that each animal that comes into your life has their own unique things to teach you.

The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants.
– Johnny Depp

In December of 2013, I wrote a post, “10 Things I Have Learned About Consciousness From My Dog Silky.”

When Silky passed away in July of 2014, I sorely missed the companionship and source of unconditional love and devotion that is the wonderful nature of dogs.

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent.
– Milan Kundera

A little while ago I adopted a little white rescue dog, Bentley. He is a pure breed Maltese, known as the “ancient dog of Malta,” and he has his own personality and with it, his own life lessons to teach.

As I did in 2013, I thought I would share with you some of the wisdom I have learned from my new dog, Bentley. Just added an extra 2 bonus learnings!

Top 12 Lessons My Dog Bentley Is Teaching Me:

I deserve to be loved
I can ask for what I need with complete trust that it will be provided.
My love is shared spontaneously and joyfully confident that it will be appreciated and returned.
I do not waste my time on guilt or shame if I make a mistake I just move on to whatever is happening next.
I am confident that I am loved and that I deserve to be loved.
Life is too short to not have fun with the occasions provided for play.
I will trust people until they show me that they cannot be trusted.
I am open to new friendships and welcoming to new possibilities and new opportunities.
Love is both my nature and my joy.
I can be quiet and peaceful, calm and serene relaxing both my mind and body at will. (I never worry about anything)
I appreciate absolutely everything that I receive and trust in the abundance of life to bring what I need when I need it.
I come to each new day joyfully with no fears or limiting beliefs.

As I wrote this I realized that each fur baby who comes into your life is a unique expression of themselves. If a domestic animal blesses your life, I encourage you to observe them from the perspective of what you can learn from them and what they have come into your life to teach and give you.

I invite you to post your comments and observations below this post.

The love we share with our pets is special. They bring so much joy and comfort into our life and ask so little in return. They are a special blessing in life and teach us how to love completely and unconditionally.

I once read a description of Heaven that said that Heaven is where every dog you have ever loved comes to greet you. That would certainly make your entry to the pearly gates a celebration of Love.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

7 Mind-Body Techniques to Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

7 Mind-Body Techniques to Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

This article is about using the mind-body-spirit relationship to enhance happiness and increase your feelings of confidence and success.

In the past I have discussed how smiling enhances happiness.

Today I would like to expand on my smiling concept to offer you some additional powerful techniques to help you increase your feelings of confidence and success and live the life of your dreams.

Click to listen to me reading this post to you (15 minutes).

Mind-Body-Spirit Relationship

These are tools that are a dynamic part of your mind-body relationship and work on a physiological level using the inherent power of your autonomic nervous system to give you greater success in your life.

There is within you simple but miraculous ways in which your mind, body, and your emotions work together. It is important to understand the ways that they can work together to your advantage and empowerment.

More and more as science can reveal the subtle interrelationship of body, emotions, mind, and spirit, we are beginning to understand how much of what we experience in life is within our command.

Science has been constantly unfolding with new studies and research into the amazing ways that your state of being responds to synthesis and integration of the mind with the body and the emotions, by signaling the production of endorphin’s, serotonin, and other mood-enhancing and mind-expanding chemicals.

Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort.
– Franklin D. Roosevelt

I first became fascinated with the ways that the mind could influence the body, and the body could influence the mind and emotions when a new technology called biofeedback came into my awareness.

The biofeedback technology was so amazing to me that I became one of the first to learn and become certified in this emerging field in the 70’s. I am not by nature scientific, so to learn to understand the physiological and psychological implications of this inter-relationship was challenging. I was then, and continue to be, deeply committed to understanding how life can be empowered to bring greater success and joy.

Fortunately, in the subsequent 40 years since I struggled to learn how the body, the mind, the emotions, and the spiritual aspect of man worked together many scientists have used this technology to study and reveal to humanity the power of this integration of the self. My many years of counseling people through catastrophic injuries and debilitating pain demonstrated time and time again the ways that this integration and synthesis could be used to resolve and empower an individual life.

New studies are emerging all the time from the scientific community that prove how these parts of human nature can work together to enhance and empower the individual.

Recent studies on the physiological advantages of meditation on physical health and a sense of well-being have confirmed what has often been taught in the Ageless Wisdom. Your body works in synergy with what you think and what you feel. It uses the signals of body language to integrate feelings of happiness and success.

Gain Mastery Over Your Life

Today, I would like to reveal how you can use some of these new discoveries to gain mastery over your life. What is known as the autonomic nervous system is perhaps the most amazing part of your anatomy, yet it is something you most likely rarely even consider. It enables you to breathe in and breathe out without requiring conscious thought. And when engaged consciously can have a profound impact on your state of being.

This is true in helping you enter a meditative state of consciousness and in helping you to relax and manage your life’s stress. As simple an act as moving your breath from the autonomic to conscious awareness can have subtle influences in how your whole being responds. The relationship between the glandular production, hormones, and all of the very subtle signals that are sent based upon a specific action and stimulus are amazing.

There are a wealth of studies available if you are interested. It is fascinating to explore how these autonomic responses can be used to help you achieve your goals. Beyond the power of breath, which spiritual teachers have used for thousands of year is the intricate response of certain physical actions, such as a smile, to the impact and influence of your body language and how that signals emotional responses. Your thoughts, especially your affirmations and expressions of intention combine to help bring into manifestation what you desire.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.
– Napoleon Hill

I recently saw a T.E.D. talk that had been viewed more than 55 million times, called “Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are” by a professor and researcher at Harvard Business School. It discussed the increase in performance and confidence in people who went into a job interview after having performed body power poses associated with victory and success. Watch your body language shapes who you are and try the power pose technique.

As I listened to the T.E.D. talk, I related it to a subject on which I often write, “Energy Follows Thought” and on the quote, I often refer to “As a man thinketh so shall he be.”

That these success postures can influence you to be more successful reaffirms the mind-body relationship.

As I suggested in my blog “How Smiling Enhances Happiness,” I encourage you to experiment with and read more about the mind-body relationship.

Below are seven free no-tech life hack techniques
to get you started:

The 7 Mind-Body Techniques To Increase Your Feelings of Confidence and Success

Pick a positive affirmation that asserts the truth of what you are striving to achieve and repeat it throughout the day.

Create a positive “I Am…” statement that confirms and affirms what you desire and say it to yourself each time you look at yourself in a mirror.

Imagine the feelings of having accomplished what you want. What would people be saying to you? What would they now think about you and your accomplishment?

Consider what the posture that someone of this level of confidence and success would have. How would they enter into a room?

With your body language signal (by your actions) the emotional state you want to achieve. YES!

Open your attention to this exact moment in time by putting your past behind you and opening yourself to the unlimited possibility and potential of what is now about to manifest.

Get up and move your body to celebrate achieving a goal to solidify the sense of joy and well-being that comes from fulfilling an accomplishment. My dear friend calls this the “Happy Dance.”

You may wish to say your positive affirmation while you look at yourself in a mirror. This is especially effective with the “I Am” statements. You may wish to listen often throughout the day to a specific affirmation by streaming it and replaying it to reactivate your sense of the truth of what you are affirming. This is powerful way of bringing your affirmations into manifestation.

You can empower yourself to create the life of your dreams by using my five-star rated “Awaken To Success” Affirmations For Abundance CD-MP3 available on Amazon and iTunes.

Observe how affirming and identifying yourself with the accomplishment you desire affects your feelings. Notice how your posture and your facial expressions shift and change in subtle ways.

Experiment with celebrating your successes with a “Happy Dance.” How does that make you feel?

You may wish to adjust your physical posture throughout the day to reflect the sense of purpose and success you are striving to achieve.

Do these little activities throughout the day and then incorporate them into your everyday routine.

By incorporating the integrative functions of your body, by activating activity and production of the autonomic nervous system with positive thoughts and expression of joyful emotions, you can influence your life in positive ways.

Experiment with what works for you, what makes you feel empowered and happy.

Tiny tweaks can lead to big changes.
– Amy Cuddy, Professor Harvard Business School

This is your life. You have been given a vast array of tools and techniques to help you achieve your purpose. Use what works for you and incorporate it into your life and keep your mind open to the new opportunities and new possibilities that are being created in the ever emerging and evolving future.

Celebrate! Create! Enjoy!

Namaste,

Genevieve

A Mindful Breath

Genevieve Gerard

A Mindful Breath

Breath has long been used by those who teach meditation as a portal into consciousness.

Breath integrates your mind-body relationship by helping you to release stress and calm your mind while working with your natural physiology to relax.

To use your breath mindfully and consciously can be a powerful way to empower your life.

Every breath we take, every step we make can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity.
– Thich Nhat Hanh

Today, I will lead you through the technique of mindful breathing. As you sit, you can use this technique as a little consciousness shift in the midst of your day.

You can use this mindful breathing exercise as often as you like, and do it as often as you need. The awareness and stress release it brings will be effective almost immediately.

This technique only involves breathing, which certainly you do all of the time. However, I take this technique one step further to increase your consciousness and your awareness by breathing mindfully.

I suggest that to experience a mindful breath most effectively that you, as much as you are able, set aside 5 minutes or so without distractions or interruptions. If possible mute your phone. If you can, close your door and ask your co-workers or family to give you a few undisturbed minutes.

Let yourself calm your mind and open your heart as you do this simple mindful breath meditation.

To quiet the mind of meaningless chatter, to calm the emotions to peaceful repose and then to receive the Transcendent Love of the Soul is the joy of meditation that is available anytime, anywhere you are, once you learn how to meditate daily.
– Genevieve Gerard

A Mindful Breath Meditation

To begin, sit up straight, with your spine vertically aligned.

Along your spine, about 2-3 inches behind your physical spine, are energy centers that are called chakras. As you align your physical spine imagine that all of your energy is also aligned.

You might be aware of the sense of being in alignment that results from aligning your spine.

Place your feet on the floor. This helps you relax. It also helps you ground your energy and be mindful of the connection to the flow of the earth’s energy.

Consciously and with intention, let your energy gently come to center in your heart.

Take a deeply relaxing and centering breath and as you do so consciously enter into this present moment. Let the past go into the past where it truly is. Bring your awareness into the NOW. You are right here, right now. It is right now, right here.

Begin, by inhaling another really deep breath, bringing the air in through your nose. Relax your diaphragm and let the mindful breath begin energetically at your solar plexus chakra.

Then, bring the air into your chest and as you do this consciously open the energy of your heart to expand and open.

Then bring the breath into your lungs, all the way to the top of your lungs, letting your lungs expand and letting your whole being expand. Bring the breath in; filling your lungs as fully as you are able, bringing the air into the upper lung until it is just below your shoulders.

When you have filled your lungs as fully as you are able, release the breath through your mouth until you have released all of the air.

This is a relaxing breath. You might already be mindful of how much more relaxed and at peace you feel, having fully experienced a full breath.

With the release of the breath, you can also release any tension or anxiety you may have been holding.

Let your breathing return to normal.

As you breathe normally, be mindful that you are the one breathing in and you are the one breathing out.

Be aware that your body has the wisdom to take in with every breath exactly what you need and to let go of what no longer serves you.

Before you take another deep and relaxing breath, come consciously into the present. Again, consciously put the past behind you and relax. As you pause, appreciate the magnificent power and unlimited potential that is available to you, right here and right now.

When you affirm that the past is truly now behind you, realize that it has no further power over you, or influence over you, except what you choose to give it.

What will be the future is just beginning to be created, as you let yourself relax and reside in the peace and the presence of the eternal NOW.

It is in the eternal NOW that your Higher Self resides. This moment, this peace, this presence is available to you. It responds to your invocation and invitation.

When you are ready, begin to draw in another deep relaxing and healing breath, in through your nose starting at your diaphragm, through your solar plexus. Let the breath clear away any tension or stress you are holding there. As you bring the breath into your chest to your heart chakra, let your heart fill with love as you open your heart to receive love in and give love out.

Then bring the breath to the top of your lungs, drawing in as much air as you can hold.

Then as you release this breath, through your mouth, it may form a sound like a sigh as you let go of any stress or concerns and let yourself relax, releasing with the breath any tension or anxiety you may have been holding, letting it completely drift away.

Observe and be mindful of what you are feeling and experiencing.

Observe that you are the one breathing in and breathing out. You are the one who is experiencing the whole cycle of your breath. Know that you can choose to breathe with control or naturally.

Now, breathe naturally not attempting to control your breath, allowing your breath to direct how much you bring in and how much you let go of that you no longer need. You might notice a calm and peace filling you at this time. You might be aware that you are more present and aware.

Remember, having consciously released the past you have opened to the profound peace and potential of the eternal now. You are now open to the possibility of creating a new future that incorporates more of your purpose in life and fulfills your heart’s desire.

While taking one more really deep relaxing and filling breath with intention, invoke and invite the Presence of your Higher Self.

Imagine a golden Light coming from your Higher Self, infusing the air you are breathing in deeply.

Let this Light circulate through your whole being with your breath through your solar plexus. Let it calm you, releasing your fears and frustrations with its healing Light.

As the breath circulates from your lungs to your heart and from your heart throughout every atom of your body, the healing light balances you, restores and refreshes you.

As it moves from your lungs to your heart and throughout your whole physical body and energy body, accept the healing power and the profound love into your conscious awareness, into your heart and mind.

As you exhale, breathe out and release any negative thoughts or fears.

With each exhale, release any limiting beliefs that keep you from expressing the magnificent and full being that you truly are.

Now sit in silence and receptivity. Use this interlude to listen for the still prompting of your Higher Self.

In this pause you can offer up any issue or concern on which you would like greater insight or understanding from the guidance of your Higher Self.

Let your breathing return to natural. Bring your attention and awareness back to your physical body.

Observe the background sounds that surround you. Become aware of the smells, the quality of the light, and observe how you feel. Let your mind return to this present moment.

You might notice how much more relaxed and centered you feel. You might feel more empowered and aligned in your being.

To finish up, give gratitude to your Higher Self for any insights and clarity you may have received in this mindful breath meditation.

– GG

I invite and encourage you to practice this mindful breathing meditation often and let your body and mind relax and your heart be comforted.

Namaste,

Genevieve

New Year New You

Genevieve Gerard

New Year, New You

A New Year signals a new opportunity to manifest your life’s purpose and fulfill your heart’s desire.

It allows you to take the collective energies of the hopes and dreams of all humanity to build upon, to empower and stimulate you to create the life of your dreams and fulfill your Life’s Purpose.

There is no time like the present. It is never too late. As the old expression says, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Your life is a Divine gift to you, and you can make it be what you want it to be.

You Are A Co-Creator Of Life

The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom tell us that as human beings we are all created to be a co-creator with God. This concept of being a co-creator of your life is integral to many of the teachings on The Law of Attraction and the prosperity wisdom, such as the famous Napoleon Hill book, “Think and Grow Rich” that provides techniques to help you achieve your dreams.

You, as is true of each individual, are created to be a being of matter and a being of spirit. You have a physical body, emotions, a mind, and a personality, and you have a Soul.

This alchemy grants you a status unique to humanity, a being of free will who can co-create with God, your personal reality and the dynamics of your life. This power of co-creation is inherent in the energy and vibrations that emanate from your thoughts.

This co-creation enables you to use the power of your mind to influence the events and circumstance that are available through a dynamic and powerful principle that “energy follows thought.” Ponder on this!

Use the empowering techniques of harnessing the power of your mind, using affirmations to direct your creative thoughts and incorporate the Law of Attractions magnetic power of gratitude and appreciation.

The principle that “energy follows thought” is a dynamic of the subtle and yet pervasive way in which you create your life and your reality. It requires both conscious awareness and discipline to transcend, transform and transmute your fears and more negative emotions such as anger and limiting beliefs of pessimism.

It is by learning to observe, yet not judge your thoughts, which can be filled with the self-criticisms of “should” and “ought’s” and perfectionistic expectations, that you can transform your life. I call this the detached observer.

Three Minutes to Empowerment Exercise

A brief technique you can use to empower and transform your life for this New Year is to take 3 minutes each day to observe the content of your thoughts as the detached observer.

Sitting quietly and breathing naturally, review the content of your thoughts, realizing that through the creative principle “energy follows thought.” Your thoughts are instructions you are sending out to the Universe.

During this 3 minutes of empowerment exercise, observe your thoughts, without self-criticism. When you observe a thought that contains fear, any negative emotion, or limiting beliefs take that opportunity of observation to revise, re-frame, and correct that thought to bring your thought into alignment with what you desire.

For those 3 moments of the day consciously request that your Soul be in control so that your creative efforts are aligned and empowered by your life purpose.

Let this brief exercise of observation quiet your mind chatter, calm your emotions and open your awareness of new possibilities and new opportunities.

In this 3 minutes let your awareness come into the present, releasing your creativity from any contamination of the past.

Doing any meditative discipline 21 days in a row helps it become a habit. This is a habit that can empower your life, for the rest of your life. It works with the creative force of your creative energies to empower you.

Put The Past Behind You

Consciously, right here and right now, put your past behind you and open yourself to the unlimited possibility that is available for you.

The future is a mystery still being written in the recesses of your mind. Now is the call to action to create the life you desire.

Release Your Fears

To come into the present most powerfully and effectively there are some steps in your consciousness it is helpful that you do.

One is releasing your Fears

I have a 10-minute guided meditation that can help you do that which is called “I Am Feeling Free”.

Live In The Moment
& Forgive Yourself For The Past

Likewise, coming into the present, the “Now” is often enhanced when you forgive yourself from the past. Self-forgiveness is a way of freeing yourself from the limitations that are too often imposed by the mind that you are not deserving of creating the life of your dreams. Taking this important step of Self-Forgiveness is freedom unleashed. It emboldens and empowers you to be in the present.

As much as you can release yourself of the burdens of negative emotions, fears, old fits of anger, and unrealistic expectations, the more you can invite in the promise of the present, experience it, embrace it, enjoy it.

Releasing these residuals that can create resistance to the energy you are striving to invite and invoke in your life is key.

Free Yourself From Limiting Beliefs

Another important step to unlocking the potential and promise of releasing the past and empowering the present is to free yourself of, what is often called, “Limiting Beliefs.”

Beliefs have the power to create and the power to destroy.”
– Anthony Robbins

You have the remarkable ability to take an experience and create a meaning in your life that can disempower you or one that can literally save your life.

The choice is yours. You are more powerful than you realize. You can have more than you imagine.

Life is a banquet before you filled with delights of unlimited diversity. Celebrate it and enjoy it.

Celebrate the New Year

Now, as we celebrate the dawning of a New Year we also celebrate that you can always begin again.

No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.”
– Buddha

As we transition into the New Year, we let the old pass away as we put this year behind us.

Take some time to forgive yourself of any old mistakes.

Yesterday is history, a history you can learn from,
but also be freed from.”
– Genevieve Gerard

Let go of your old angers and resentments. They are too heavy to carry, so lay them down and leave them in the past where they can no longer control or harm you. If you need to, use my How To Forgive Yourself guided meditation.

Free your mind of any, and all, limiting beliefs you can identify. Free yourself from your fears and open to what is being created especially for you. The full magnificence of life’s adventure is possible. You can live your dreams. You can fulfill your destiny. You can manifest your life’s purpose.

Ponder On Your Purpose

This is a fertile and powerful time of year when thoughts across the world allow you to think of ways to change things for the better. Ponder on this.

Use This Affirmation

To assist you in the New Year you might like to use this affirmation.

A New Year’s Affirmation

I am free of all that has ever happened that is now past.
I choose to no longer give the past power over me.
I choose to forgive myself for any mistakes or errors I have ever made.
I choose to forgive others for any hurts
or harm they have ever done to me, intended to unintentional.

Starting right here and right now,
I consciously release my fears
and open myself and my life to
create the fulfillment of my dreams.

I open my heart to love
and open my mind to insight.
Nothing that has come before can limit me.
I go forth from within the power of this moment, free.

Take this change in the measure of time to use the energy of the New Year to manifest a new you, the you that you want to be. The future is unwritten and in an ongoing process of forming. Guide it with your creative thoughts, into the life that will fulfill your purpose in life and fill your days with love and joy. Remember, new possibilities are filled with unlimited potential to create the life of your dreams.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Two Secrets To Ignite the Law of Attraction

Genevieve Gerard

Two Secrets To Ignite the Law of Attraction

There are a number of secrets in what is known as the Law of Attraction. It is by incorporating them into your life that you will gain mastery and abundance.

The Law of Attraction, like many of the universal principles that govern life, is stimulated and empowered by what you do.

As with all of these universal laws and principles, the more consciously you employ them, have appreciation in the moment and then take action, the more effective they are. This is the far-reaching benefit of living a conscious life.

Living a conscious life means having the willingness, curiosity, and courage to stay present to your thoughts and feelings, to the meeting point of body, emotion, mind, and spirit.

It means staying present to the impact you have on others and your environment, as well as the choices available to you. To live a conscious life—to be awake and aware—is to be gloriously alive!”
– Dr. Jennifer Howard,
Host of the weekly radio talk show, A Conscious Life

1. Living A Conscious Life

Living consciously involves understanding and incorporating many of the tools and techniques that are available from the Ageless Wisdom.

Conscious living is an underlying theme in most of the Wisdom Wednesday blogs I write because it is a key element in living a happy and successful life in which the choices you make have a direct impact on your experience of joy and life.

Revealing and encouraging you to use these ageless tools and techniques and to learn to live an integrated life where you can express and enjoy your life purpose and your Soul purpose, is what this Wisdom Wednesday blog series is all about and what fuels all of my meditation products.

You may have noticed that Abundance is a theme that I address repetitively because it is a challenge in so many lives.

To assist you, I have a free download on the home page of my website called Invocation of Magnetic Attraction. It is available for you today along with a downloadable PDF of the Invocation that you can print and use. In addition, two of my most successful products, “Awaken to Success” and “Soaring to Success,” offer affirmations for abundance. You will find that this is an area of life that responds to the conscious focus of the technique of affirming what you are striving to achieve and has the added benefit of increasing your enjoyment of life’s adventure.

Appreciation and gratitude signal your mind that this is something good, this is something you want, this is something that you desire. Therefore, the act of conscious appreciation works as a powerful magnet to bring to you more of what you enjoy.
– Genevieve Gerard

2. Gratitude and Appreciation

The very act of appreciation works in many ways.

First, it focuses your attention on what you already have in a positive and dynamic way. This unleashes the subtle power of the Law of Attraction. Immediately upon noticing what you have that you appreciate you are affirming your abilities. When your attention is upon what you have accomplished in life and have already received, you are naturally stimulated to consider creative solutions to current goals and desires.

This starts a chain reaction that leads to even greater success. Your creativity is stimulated with new ideas. Solutions to issues you have held in the background of your mind open up to you. This is a subtle alchemy that influences your life.

It is no surprise that people are more open, receptive and generous to those who express their gratitude. This is a significant factor in successful relationships, both personal and business. Appreciation is a powerful stimulant to do more and give more of what is appreciated. That is a subtle dynamic of how the Law of Attraction works that is both logical and easy to understand.

This energetic principle also utilizes the dynamic principle that “energy follows thought.” These combined forces make a powerful tonic for creating success in your life. To use these tools to enhance your success just makes sense.

Just as thoughts, send out vibrations to which there is a creative and attractive power, gratitude stimulates the field of etheric energy that surrounds you on a subtle level to bring into your life more of what brings you joy.
– Genevieve Gerard

The Law of attraction and the dynamic principle that Energy Follows Thought are at work in the world whether you use them or not. They can be used consciously for your advantage or denied and ignored completely. Whether they are used or not, they are still at work. That is the nature of universal laws and principles. They are amazingly impersonal. Yet, by consciously using these laws and principles in your life, you have at your command ways to impact and influence your life for good, for success, for joy.

Expressing your appreciation works by energetically magnetizing to you more of what you appreciate. When your appreciation is expressed to someone else, everybody in the situation feels good. That seems like a pretty great result by doing something that is easy to do.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.”
– Voltaire

Consider your life today. As the year is winding down into the oblivion of the past and a shiny new year is ahead, it is a good time to take stock of and consider the many ways you have been blessed. I suggest you use this period to try an experiment.

Create an Appreciation List

Make a list of 10 things in your life, which you truly appreciate about your life. As you move through your days leading up to the New Year, express your appreciation for those things.

If there is someone who enhances your life, let them know you appreciate them.

As often as you can throughout the day, remember what is on your list and express your appreciation for it, even if it is only in your mind, silently. Let yourself be filled and strengthened by the satisfaction and happiness that expressing your appreciation brings.

It is helpful to review your “appreciation list” every morning. You can make a copy of the list to post on your mirror or copy it into your mobile phone. Make it available and accessible, easy to consider, easy to remember, easy to express.

So much of our thinking is habitual. If you make it your habit to appreciate what you already have you are incorporating one of the most effective techniques of conscious living.

In the weeks before the New Year, consciously observe what opportunities and circumstances reveal themselves to you around the items on your “appreciation list.” I think you will be delightfully surprised.

Igniting the Law of Attraction in your life can have far-reaching impact. Using the powerful principle of appreciation as a magnetic force for what you wish to attract can enhance your effectiveness.

I suggest you experiment and then observe your life on a variety of levels.

At the end of this posts are some related links that you may find helpful and supportive. I invite you to share your impressions either in the Transformation Stories page of my website or as a comment at the end of this post.

Choose to take this fertile time and open up to the new possibilities and promise of a New Year. Through appreciation and gratitude, you will be taking an important step in creating the life that you desire.

Namaste,

Genevieve
