Always Have Hope in Your Heart

Always Have Hope in Your Heart

Have Hope by Genevieve Gerard

Hope is one of the most essential sensations you can have in life.

Hope opens you to inspiration about what you can do to bring about change and transform your life.

Hope springs into your heart as you call upon your Soul for help.

When times are troubled, remember that life and everything in it can change in just a moment.  Hope reminds us of that.

Miracles are always possible, and change is inevitable.  Let hope guide your thoughts to the creative vision of your dreams and then as you dare to dream, dare to do something differently. 

Believe that all things are working toward what is good and right for you in your life.

It may not be possible to see or to know the consequences of any action or event.  Indeed, the law of physics that declares that every action causes a reaction is undeniably true; however, those consequences are beyond your ability to view.  While you are in the midst of action all you can do is what feels right.  You can do the best you can base on the information available at the time and then hope for the best.

Hope is a kind of impersonal prayer to which the Universe responds based upon the fact that “energy follows thought.”  Hope is the antidote to worrying (which I often call praying for what you don’t want.)

When you hope you are opening to new possibilities that are emerging before you todaypossibilities you may have never considered before now.  It is through the power of hope that you let yourself dream, and through the power of faith that you dare to do things differently.

What is impressive is that no matter how dire things may appear, change is inevitable.  Hope helps you empower that change.  Dreaming and daring is a partnership. To ignite hope to bring about the change you are dreaming requires doing and taking action.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
      – Bernard Williams

Tomorrow is always a new day.  Empowering your day with hope activates your creative imagination and opens you to inspiration.  Inspiration is a signature of your Higher Self.   Then it is time for your whole self to take your creative power to do something.

Do Something Differently

Doing something, especially doing something different than you have done it before sets off a chain reaction of circumstances and events that are different.  Doing something differently may be frightening but being frightening does not make it wrong.  The key to doing things differently is to do it with hope in your heart which activates your mind to dare, to dream, and to do.

Change is not only possible it is inevitable.  When you activate your life with hope in your heart, you empower your mind and your Soul to allow new opportunities to emerge.
      – Genevieve Gerard

Activate Hope With Inspiring Affirmations

    Click play icon below to listen to me reading these affirmations to you (under 2 minutes).

To inspire and activate the power of hope in your life you might try a few affirmations.  You might want to put them up where you can see them throughout the day, on your mirror or at your desk where you can see them and remind yourself to hope.

  1. With hope in my heart,
        I open my life to positive changes today.
  2. With hope in my heart,
        I open my mind to see new
        opportunities that are opening today.
  3. With hope in my heart,
        I let myself be creative and inspired to
        find new solutions to old problems.

Give yourself 5 minutes to record any thoughts or impressions you may have had after making these three affirmations.

Last, let yourself sit quietly, as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light, and daydream for just another 5 minutes.  While you are doing this remember not to limit your dreams by your reality.  Just let yourself dare to dream.

Then return to your life and your day empowered and enlightened by hope.

 

Remember to Always Have Hope in Your Heart!

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

You Need To Experience The Power of Hope

You Need To Experience The Power of Hope

The Power of Hope post by Genevieve Gerard

Hope is a very powerful energy.

Some thoughts generate more energy than others because they tap into a reservoir in the collective unconscious of humanity and thus become energized and magnetized.

Hope brings with it a promise of possibility and promise.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.
          – Emily Dickinson

It is a little known and less understood phenomenon that the planet is surrounded by a field of energy in which is stored the aggregate emotions of humanity since the dawn of time.  That energy is, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, known as the astral field.

Like all energy the astral-emotional field is invisible.  And, like all energy, it cannot be destroyed, but you can change its formHope is one of those emotions that works to do just that.

Just the simple understanding of human nature reveals that in a field of energy where the aggregate of all of the emotions of humanity is stored, there is a lot of fear.  Legend tells us that it is in the astral field that the monsters and dragons of archetypal legends are stored.

The ancient gargoyles that grace the architecture of medieval cathedrals are said to have their home in the astral field.  Nightmares are believed by some to be the result of your consciousness traveling to this energetic plane in your sleep.

It isn’t wise to spend a lot of time or thought dwelling on this plane of energy.  The universal principle that “energy follows thought” is sufficient to explain why directing your consciousness into the astral plane is a mistake.

For most people, they have enough of a battle against fear, without entering into an awareness of the stored terror of all of humanity.  In general, the astral plane is best avoided as a destination for your consciousness.  Particularly talented horror fiction writers often use this energy to create their stories.  It is not unusual for people to have nightmares and waves of fear after reading horror stories or seeing horror movies.  Your consciousness goes where you direct your attention.  I have never recommended directing your consciousness to terror and fear.

Likewise, part of the energetic harm that drugs and alcohol do to your consciousness is that it can open your energy to the astral plane.  That is true of even some prescription drugs as well as recreational drugs.

However, when you consider the negative energies of the astral field it is also important to consider what you can do to release and transmute the fears that are stored there.  Take a moment and consider what you can do to free your life from any fears you may have.

Replace Your Fears With Hope

Transmuting, transforming and transcending fears and negative emotions is one of the major steps in our spiritual evolution. This emotional transforming experience is known as the second initiation.

There are some things that may help you transmute these fears.

As I mentioned earlier it is a rule of physics that you cannot destroy energy, but you can change its formThis is a key part of your ability to change your consciousness.

The transformation of negative consciousness is so important to me that I have devoted many of my publicly disseminated products on instruction about it.  They are my Feeling Free and I Am Feeling Free meditations

These two guided meditations teach you how to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts.  In these two meditations are the directions for changing your life.

I Am Feeling Free Guided Meditation Download by Genevieve Gerard

Both of these meditations are taken from the deep esoteric practice of the Ageless Wisdom that has been passed down for generations.  After years of practicing this meditative technique in my own life to learn to conquer my fears, I created the CD “Feeling Free.”  Then I started teaching corporate executives and CEO’s stress management and from that, I was able to translate this esoteric technique into the simple (and shorter) guided meditation “I Am Feeling Free” that makes sense to the Western mind.

Freeing your mind from the limiting hold that fear can have is one of the most important things I teach.

As I am meditating on this concept of transforming and transmuting fear I am aware that when you release your own fears you are also working to release the hold that the astral plane has on humanity as a whole.  In that way, not only is your releasing fear a way of improving your life, but also an act of service for humanity as a whole.

As I pondered upon and meditate on what I can do and we as humanity can do to make this world a better place, I realized that there is great power in hope.

Much like transcending your fears has a powerful impact upon your life, freeing you from the tyranny of emotions that are limiting, so to hope is freeing.

When you hope you are igniting the creative power to not only conquer your fears but find solutions for the problems that plague humanity.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
               – Bernard Williams

Because “energy follows thought,” the thoughts of each of us, indeed all of us influence the creative process of the world we share.

We are all ONE, mystically and spiritually.  The energy you create with your thoughts has an impact and an influence on the whole.

It is to have a positive influence on the world that I publish seed thoughts where I ask everyone to Imagine for 1 Minute something positive. You can follow these seed thoughts on my Imagine1Minute twitter feed, https://twitter.com/imagine1minute. I also post them on my Facebook Fan Business Pagehttp://www.facebook.com/gotogg/.

Harnessing the creative power of thought is a subtle way that you can serve humanity as a whole while benefiting your own life.  It is an act of unity and brotherhood (and sisterhood) that works with the nature of life.

I believe that thoughts of hope counteract thoughts of fear.

Positive thoughts about not only your personal life but life as a whole also move energy to help create a more positive world.

Hope Experiment

Today I would like to invite you to join me in an experiment of hope.  Over the next week, I will publish a seed thought on my Imagine1Minute twitter account and Facebook Fan page that focuses on creating and stimulating the energy of hope.

I need your help to add to the hope thought form every day! And, although the feed is called “Imagine 1 Minute” you don’t really have to focus on it for only a minute, just let the thought drift into your mind, and ponder on hope intermittently throughout your day.

If you enjoy and are empowered by ritual you can add it to lighting a candle for hope as I recommended in my recent post listed in the related links you may also like below.

Then, pay attention and observe your own thoughts and feelings throughout the day and observe the impact you are having on the world around you.

This little experiment has the potential to have a dynamic, yet subtle impact.

I would love to hear about your experiences in the comments section below on this article.

If you are willing to participate in this hope consciousness experiment, I also invite you to join my (free) consciousness community.

 

Namaste,

Genevieve

Light A Candle For Hope

Light A Candle for Hope

Read Light A Candle For Hope by Genevieve Gerard

Recently, the influx of spiritual energies has undergone a major shift for our planet.  As such we are seeing a period begin in which subtle energies will be intensified.  As always, energy follows thought, but as we enter this new period that principle will become even more powerful.  It is increased in power to allow those who work in the Light to have greater influence in bringing about the healing of the planet.  That same principle is at work bringing energy to all thoughts.

The most dangerous and one of the darkest thoughts is fear.  As people focus their energies on fear, they increase the danger of what they fear coming into manifestation.  Because of the fear, people take the actions of a few radicals and pass judgment on an entire culture.

In these times of global uncertainty, the fear adds power to the sense of shortage and lack.  Because of the fear and sense of lack, people refuse to share.  Because of the fear and sense of lack people hoard what wealth they have rather than investing.  Because of the fear markets drop and because the markets drop people become more fearful.  Thus, the fear creates a self-perpetuating spiral of despair.

People cling to their money instead of spending it, thus shutting down the engines of commerce that create jobs and prosperity for all.  Thus, the transcending of fear and replacing it with hope will work on a subtle level to resolve our current crisis.

Faith and trust are the antidotes to fear.  Remaining in the moment is the key to conquering fear.  The moment is the secret to transcending fear.

Disciples on the path, people of faith and workers in the Light have long known that learning to transcend fear is one of the most important and most empowering of the spiritual lessons.
        – Genevieve Gerard

When one has learned to transcend fear many new and exciting possibilities open before you.  You dare to dream and dare to hope and dare to do.

Although the concept of transcending fear seems simple; one should not confuse simple with easy.  To transcend fear, especially in the midst of genuinely frightening news and world circumstances is a challenge of the spirit.  It is a challenge of faith.  And today it is a call to action for those who work in the Light to demonstrate a life of faith. It is a call to action to be a beacon of hope in the world.

In the link below, I offer a powerful 10-minute “I Am Feeling Freemeditation that can help you learn how to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts for less than $9.
I Am Feeling Free Meditation Download by Genevieve

As St. Francis said:

We cannot fight against the night! But we can light a candle.

As a single candle can dispel the darkness so a single thought can dispel the fear.

So let us each light a candle for hope and as we do so have a thought of hope.

Let us each light a candle to conquer fear, both our own and that of others.

And let us do this once each day; an act of faith and an act of hope.

As a call to action for those who work in the Light, as a call to action for people of faith, let us light a candle with intention each day as an act of faith and an act of hope.

If for just the moment of lighting the candle you are able to transcend your fear and focus on faith and hope you will be working to defeat the fear that is crippling the planet.  For whatever time you are able to transcend your own fear, you will be helping others and working to heal the planet transcend the energy of fears.  Each moment you are able to focus on the Light, the Light will build and multiply.  With each candle lit the Light will magnify.

This simple act of faith and hope is something you can do to make the world better.

This simple act is powerful in its very simplicity.

Today, as you light a candle to symbolically transcend your own fear you are helping to defeat the energy of fear.

Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.
        – Robert H. Schuller

As you light a candle to focus on your own hope you are igniting the energy of hope for everyone.

Make A Difference

As you light a candle, you give power to the thought that you can make a difference.

As you focus on your own faith, the peace it brings is shared with others.

The more people light the candle of hope and light the candle of faith the more we are working to dispel the darkness of fear.

It does not take long, it doesn’t cost much, but it is a powerful symbol that we are able to transcend our fears, that we are able to hope, that we are a people of faith.

We send out many thoughts by the internet.  If each person sends this thought to just 10 people the networks of the World Wide Web can burn bright with the energy of hope.  Throughout the planet, people of Goodwill can join in the defeat of fear and despair with this simple act, with these simple thoughts.

Moreover, you can have NO fear.  If you do not send this out, nothing bad will happen to you.

Free Gift of Abundance

As a companion to this article, I have also published on my website a free twelve-minute audio meditation that includes an invocation to magnetic attraction.  The invocation for magnetic attraction is also available in a written format as a PDF.  You can download these all here.

These gifts are given in the hope and intention to bring joy to your life that you may live your life, more abundantly.

In the Light,

Genevieve Gerard

New Color of Promise

New Color of Promise

Color of Promise blog post by Genevieve Gerard

The unique tone of pink that comes with the dawn always gives me hope and promise. It always makes me smile.

For me, the color of dawn, the way the light of the rising sun merges and mingles with the emerging blues of morning as gray is chased away, is one of the purest joys in life.

The colors of the dawn seem to come with the assurance that there are new possibilities available. All that I have known to be a problem or a pain can fade away with the emerging of the light of a new day. It reminds me of the truth of the old saying “today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

To me the dawn comes embedded with the promise that new possibilities are available today. It is a reminder that the past is past. What may come into being with the emerging of the new day is really unknown. It is a part of the magic of life and the mystery of life that change is always happening. Change is a constant in a life experience that may seem to have no consistency.

This is one of the most amazing things about life, and at times the most terrifying. That change can bring into manifestation the fulfillment of our deepest desires, and at the same time create the circumstances of our greatest fears is an element of the adventure of the experience of living. What has been before, is not a guarantee for what is now emerging. This is as equally true for our desires and our fears. Change is the one constancy in life. We can embrace it or we can flee from it, but no matter what we do, we cannot change that.

The chance that change will be positive and move my life forward to the manifestation of my goals and desires is at least equal to the chance of something I do desire not unfolding.
        – Genevieve Gerard

I choose hope with the emergence of the day. I see the possibility that the life experiences that will unfold in the emerging day will be wonderful. The chance that change will be positive and move my life forward to the manifestation of my goals and desires is at least equal to the chance of something I do desire not unfolding. However, when you add to the mix the powerful principle of life that energy follows thought, it seems the odds tip in the favor of the new day bringing the fulfillment of my dreams.

No matter what happens in the circumstances of the unfolding day, holding hope in my heart has not only empowered the subtle influence of the universal law of energy following thought to work in my favor, it has removed the temptation of worry and fear. Likewise, holding hope and trusting in life, not only reduces the experience of fear, but it also reduces stress and anxiety.

Since none of us knows what will happen in the future, remaining in the present with the promise and potentiality of the new day, leaves me strong so if the winds of change blow ill for my life, I have the strength and energy to cope and deal with events, but need only to deal with something once it has really happened. “Sufficient for the day are the challenges I face today.” This is a choice I make about how to live my life. It is a decision that I make when the dawns early light emerges from the shadows of the night. I choose hope. I choose faith that great good is coming to me. What do you choose?

To empower and enhance this hope, I often use affirmations. I find that affirmations activate a sense of my identity about what I aspire to be. We each make these choices about what we think, what we consider, what we believe, often without intention or focus.

For me, the pink of the dawn is a reminder to choose hope and believe in the unlimited possibilities of time unfolding, which will bring great blessings and new opportunities to fulfill your life’s purpose and manifest what you desire.

Hope can spring eternal in your heart and it can be renewed with each dawn as you affirm in the morning’s light, that this new day holds the potential for the very best of change in your life.

 

The Blessing of Promise & Possibilities on All That You Do,
