In The Moment

Today Is A New Day

Today Is A New Day

What You See Right Now by Genevieve Gerard

This post is part of my on-going series on Awareness & Being In The Now.

Life requires choices.

Some choices you have made in the past have been both wise and wonderful.  And if you are at all like me, as you have moved through your life experiences some choices have been awful and awesome mistakes.  That’s life!

What matters in this great adventure we call life is not that you have chosen well in the plethora of choices and paths that have laid before you, but what you have learned.

Some decisions you have considered mistakes.  Yet, when you look at them as your life lessons, you will possibly see that they may have taken you in a way you may not have gone without that mistake.

A life without mistakes is a life without purpose.  It is the times you have dared, dreamed and stretched beyond what you believed was possible that give your life definition.  The way we learn, as a human being is by trial and error.  That makes a mistake as necessary as the trial.

Sometimes, after a particularly painful error, you might get angry with yourself.  You might even get caught up in blame and shame and doubt.  I suggest that you not waste your time and energy blaming yourself.

I suggest that each mistake is explored as the opportunity to learn and grow that it is.  When you discover the lesson from that mistake, you remember that you are now wiser and more capable than you were before.  As you step into the new opportunities that are available for you today, you are forearmed by the mistakes and errors of your past.

Considering all the mistakes you have made in your life, you have been uniquely prepared for what life is offering you right NOW, TODAY.

Never Forget Today Is A New Day

To take advantage of the new possibilities that are emerging several life lessons can help you seize the present.  Since ancient times the advice of “Carpe Diem” has been a call to action.  It is the advice to seize the day and make the most of the opportunities that are emerging today.

Things You Can Do To Empower & Support Yourself

In my many years as a counselor and life coach, and more importantly as a human being who has made many mistakes and learned many life lessons, I have found that there are things you can do to empower and support yourself.  I would like to share a few of those simple life lessons with you right now, today.

  1. Be gentle with yourself. Once you have learned the life lesson of the error you have made incorporate that understanding into your life and then let it go.
  2. Forgive yourself. You are not perfect.  You are not designed to be perfect.  You were created to learn by experience, trial, and error.  Once you gave something the trial and made the error, let that error be in the past.  It no longer defines you.  It is over and finished.
  3. Next, open yourself to the unlimited opportunities that present themselves to you right now, today.

Yesterday is but today’s memory, and tomorrow is today’s dream.
         – Khalil Gibran

  1. Dare to dream about today, for dreams are the creative power of your mind and work with the creative energy of the universe. You can create the life you desire when you dare to dream.
  2. Listen to the promptings of your Higher Self (Soul) for Grace comes in the silent promptings of your Soul to help you align with your life purpose.

Today is a new day.  The possibilities and opportunities that present themselves today have never been available before.  They are unique to right now, today.  However, to take advantage of those possibilities, you must put your past behind you.

Free yourself from the tyranny of your own self-judgment and criticism.  Let yourself see and then release all the reasons you were vulnerable and misguided by your failure to understand what you now can see clearly.

What you see right now, today is what matters. 

To learn from a past mistake does not mean to continue to berate yourself for having made a mistake.  Learn the lesson and then trust yourself to know better now, do better now.
         – Genevieve Gerard

There is no day more bursting with new possibilities than today.  Life has given you the opportunity for a reset.  It is called today.  What you do with it can only be done now, today.  If you could have done it before now, you would have.

All that is past has no power over you!

As the old saying goes, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Make it the best of your life.”  It is what you do with your day that matters.

So, shake off your past mistakes like the dust from a town you have left behind.  The future is beckoning you, but you must walk through right now, today to get there.

Daily Affirmations To Empower & Support You

Right Now, Today Affirmations

These Right Now, Today affirmations may help you if you repeat them often:

Right now, today, I will forgive myself, knowing that what I have learned from past errors has prepared me for what today brings and what tomorrow may bring like a stern teacher.

Right now, today, I will appreciate all of the life experiences and life lessons I have learned for they brought me to today.

Right now, today, I will open myself and my life to the guidance of my Soul that I may fulfill my unique purpose in this span of years that I have been granted.

Right now, today I will be bold with my dreams and courageous in my actions to seize and see the opportunities large and small that life offers me.

Ultimately, you really only have this moment in time.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.
         – Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now

Now, life awaits your exploration of this adventure.  I celebrate you, right here, right now.

 

Namaste,

At Each Moment You Decide

At Each Moment You Decide

Read At Each Moment You Decide by Genevieve Gerard

I love mornings.

There is magic in each morning. No other time of the day is so rich with promise.

Just think, this day has never been before; it is unique.

What is possible today has never been possible before.  Whatever has happened in your past is NOW over.  You are free.  You can lay your burden down and release it into the past where it belongs.

The only power it has over you is what you choose to give it.  You can, in the magic of this morning and the magic of this moment, start anew.  This is the power of the dawn.

To claim this power, you may have some things you need to do.  You may need to forgive yourself.  You may need to forgive someone else.  Whatever forgiveness is required is possible.

Claim the magic of this morning to open your heart and your mind to the unlimited potential of this day.  This day has never been here before.  It is just NOW emerging and being created.

The ideas and solutions to life’s mysteries that are revealed to you today belong only to this moment and are filled with your co-creative power.  What you think of in the magic of the morning takes form and substance through the laws of life that “energy follows thought.”

You are a child of God imbued with the spark of Divine Light that gives you the power in your thoughts to control and create your reality.  You are, of all of the creation, the only one given the power of co-creation.  That is the miracle of what it means to be a human being.

The choice is yours.  Make of this day what you will.  Create with this day what you wish. In each moment you get to decide.

Joy is yours for the taking.

What is most surprising about this miraculous morning is you can create whatever you need.  If you need to suffer, you can suffer.  If you need fear, you can paralyze yourself with fear.

Today is an adventure in your experience of life.

All of the drama that life contains can come into your day,
for good or ill, by your will.
        – Genevieve Gerard

You might ask “why would I create pain and sorrow.”  And, that is certainly a good question to ask yourself.  “Why would I choose to suffer paralyzing fear?”  “Why wouldn’t I choose anything but joy, success, or happiness?”  The pain, sorrow and the failures you experience can provide valuable lessons that have a profound impact on your life.

These things may seem to be just happenstance, the accumulation of circumstances beyond your control.  And you can cloak yourself in the illusions of life that make situations and circumstances seem beyond your power to control or influence.  You choose whether these moments give you comfort or excuses that relieve you of the responsibility for your life.

In the magic of morning, I invite you to let the darkness fall from your eyes as the Light comes into being.  You are a miracle of creation infused with a spark of the Divine.  You are the Son of Man who is a co-creator with the creator.

This can be both a great blessing and a great responsibility.  What you do with this day matters.  What you create with your thoughts have consequences.  They may be unintentional consequences or very intentional consequences; the choice is yours.

There is in every day and every circumstance two possibilities.  There’s a positive side and a negative side and at each moment you decide.
           – Bernie Gunther (High Cards)

What will you do with the magic of this moment?

What will you choose for this as yet unformed day brimming with potential and unclaimed possibilities? What will you create with this formless day that lies before you with no footprints yet upon it?

This moment, this opportunity has never been before.  Life can change in the twinkling of an eye.  All that has ever come before this time can be safely tucked into the past.  Its time is now over.

It can only affect you if you let it if you cling to it.  Come into NOW.

Your life and your future are being molded into being what you choose NOW.  What you think and how you use your co-creative power is the creative force that shapes your emerging experience.

Seize from this magical moment the power to take control of the day and do great things with it.  Free yourself as you forgive and forget every limitation that has ever held you captive.

Calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light of the new day into the new being you are becoming with the magic of this morning.  This day has never been before and will never come again.  Make the best of it, take the best of it.

It is NOW and in the NOW there is a great power.

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you ever have.
Make the NOW the primary focus of your life.
           – Eckhart Tolle

Unleash the power in your mind to claim the unlimited potential of the present.  That is the magic of each morning.  That is the promise of every new day.

Align yourself with your Life’s purpose.  New possibilities are revealing themselves to you today.  New thoughts, ideas you have never thought before, emerge from the creative power of your mind.

Open the space for new opportunities to come to you today.  Let the Law of Attraction attract to you all that you need for success.

Shed from your thoughts any limiting beliefs.  Clear from your being all that has ever held you back.  This is a new day; let yourself find a new way.

This is the magic contained in the morning.  This magic is available for you to claim today, right here, right now.

As the old saying reminds us, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.  Make it the best of your life.” – anonymous.

Namaste,

A Perfect Moment In Time

A Perfect Moment

Experience A Perfect Moment In Time by GG

This post is part of my on-going series on Awareness & Being In The Now.

Have you ever experienced a perfect moment in time?

In a perfect moment you are released from fear with the full faith and confidence that you are OK exactly as you are.

You are freed from worrying, striving and stress, relaxing into what is and not trying to control life but letting life just unfold before you.

In a perfect moment, time seems to stand still. It is a moment when your heart is filled with feelings of love and your consciousness seems to expand to include a sense of Oneness with all of creation, with all of life. It is a moment of utter peace and complete joy.

Within a perfect moment are so many life lessons we can embrace and use to empower us when perfection seems out of our reach. In our experience of a perfect moment is a mind that is calm, not trying to do anything, not trying to change anything, but accepting with gratitude and appreciation what is available right here and right now.

In a perfect moment you are just being, and being is just perfect. If we ponder what is special and unique about that perfect moment we realize that it is free from the recriminations and judgments with which we so often burden our life. The flow of judgments in the form of “I should have, I could have, I ought to” as a part of our self-talk and mind chatter are ways we can deprive ourselves of joy. They are habits of thought that are a toxic poison. These self-judging thoughts take us out of the present into a consciousness of what never has been and never will be and is NOT real.

This illusionary standard of “could have”, “should have”, “ought to” holds us up to an imaginary standard of life and by so doing deprives us of the spontaneous joy and appreciation that is available to us when we let ourselves receive it instead of “shoulding” on ourselves.

We can free ourselves from this habit of killing our joy by becoming conscious of our thoughts and by making a conscious decision to focus our thoughts on editing and eliminating the often negative habitual thoughts that start with those illusionary phrases.

This technique of thought monitoring and thought editing is very powerful and can be life changing and life empowering. It is a way of harnessing the amazing power of our mind to bring into manifestation what we desire and claiming our role as a co-creator in our life. It is a way to become the director of your life rather than only an actor.

Whereas, statements such as “I should have” or “I could have” are dis-empowering and illusionary, statements in our self-talk of “I can” or “I will” are very empowering and start an automatic chain reaction to bring the plan into being.

Training your mind to empower your life requires your conscious intention to use the power of your mind for good in your life instead of letting your thoughts harm you by self-defeating, judgmental self-talk. Just this simple shift in your thought patterns and thought habits will create a very profound difference in your life. A difference you can feel and see quickly.

Love the moment and the energy of that moment
will spread beyond all boundaries.
          – Corita Kent

Observing your thought, just monitoring and accessing the content of your thoughts is a good place to begin. When you do this you might be surprised at how much of your “mind chatter” is filled with these toxic patterns. When you have observed the frequency of these damaging illusionary phrases, take a moment to consider how these thoughts make you feel. For most of us, it is tense, anxious and disheartened.

Then, as an experiment take just 1 minute and observe your thoughts and each time you catch yourself thinking the “coulda, shoulda” thoughts, consciously with intention, replace those thoughts with “I can and I will” thoughts.

Now how do you feel; excited, hopeful, powerful?

Thoughts have power. That truth can be used either for you or against you.

You can, by harnessing the power of your thoughts, unlock a powerful tool that both enhances your success and increases your joy. Since most of us do very little to consciously control our thoughts that power is left underutilized. By bringing your thoughts into consciousness and by choosing what you think, you are making a shift that will change your life in so many ways.

To take the reins of your mind and use its vast power in your life to create the life that you desire is the first step on a journey to success and joy. This you can realize, this you can do when you consider what you can learn when you have “a perfect moment in time”.

I invite you and encourage you to harness the amazing power of your mind and your thoughts to bring to you the life transformation that you desire.

There is a positive side and a negative side and
at each moment you decide.
          – Bernie Gunther (High Cards)

Now is the perfect moment to empower your life with joy.

Now is the time to experience and live in that perfect moment!

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve

As the Year Turns

As the Year Turns

looking forward 5 minutes to stroke of midnight night shot with fireworks New Year celebration

New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day are fertile times for reflecting upon your life.

As you do so it seems that there are several powerful ways that you can welcome in 2021 and empower yourself to manifest in the New Year more success, more joy, and ultimately greater happiness.

Perhaps the most powerful and important thing you can do as this passage of time is marked is to bring your consciousness and awareness into the present time, into NOW. This shift to the NOW involves several simple understandings of what is always true but may not be the focus of your thoughts and attention.

Therefore, I encourage you to consider deeply the fact that the past is over!

Seize the Opportunity That Today Offers You

With the strike of the midnight hour you are freed from last year. You are now invited to the unlimited possibility and potential of a new year. The future, brimming with promise is before you and you hold within the creative power of your mind and your life the ability to bring to fruition all of your dreams, all of your desires, your reason for living.

To enhance and best activate this powerful moment where you rest on the threshold of a new year which can be a whole new life, I encourage you to take a few minutes of time to forgive yourself. Since the past is over, nothing is gained by carrying the past forward in the no-win dynamic of self-blame and recrimination. So I urge you to use this transition from the past into the future to really forgive yourself.

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift:
That’s why they call it the present.
          – Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962)

Seize the opportunity that today offers you to invoke, affirm and dream. Your destiny is calling to you. Open your heart mind and Soul, to hear that call. As you release the past to its proper role in your life and forgive yourself, you can further free yourself to be fully open to receive what tomorrow has to offer by forgiving any who have ever caused you harm, intentionally or unintentionally.

Happy New Year stars and wishes from Genevieve Gerard

When you do this you are like a babe newly born to a new life like the New Year’s images who usher the old man of the past out the door.

The icing on the cake of celebration of the becoming of the New Year is to express gratitude for all that you have ever experienced knowing and rejoicing that it prepared you for the amazing future that is now ready to unfold for you, right here, right now.

New Year Affirmations

As the New Year emerges into being here are some positive affirmations you can use to empower your life.

  1. I open my eyes to see the new opportunities that are unfolding for me.

    2.  

  2. I open my mind to inspiring and enlightening awareness of what I can do to manifest my dreams.

    3.  

  3. I open my heart to attract to me those who can help me and those I can truly aid.

 

Remember this New Year has never been before! Move into it with joy and celebration, openness, and invitation to create the reality you invoke as the year turns.

Namaste and Happy New Year,

   Genevieve Gerard

WATCHING THE WATER FLOW BY

Watching the Water Flow By

GG Home Dock

As I sit in my meditation chair, just outside is a canal of water.

 

To watch the water flow by in its endless exchange of energy with the sea is very peaceful and calms my mind.

 

It is said in Wisdom teachings that you can never step into the same river twice.

 

The ever flowing nature of water is also ever changing as life is ever changing, yet in one of those profound ironies that so influence our comprehension of the world, there is continuity, sameness to the flow of the waters of our life.

It seems in observing the flow of water, in and out from the ocean; back and forth with the tide we can better understand the nature of time and the mystery of the eternal NOW.” – Genevieve Gerard

The waters of life flow through our life and get divided into categories like past and future but remain present in the moment, in the NOW.

This continuity of consciousness like the water provides both the opportunity for sameness and the opportunity for possibility and potential as yet untapped.

This continuous flow whether it be of the water or life events creates awareness that in any moment everything can change. This potential, and the promise of this possibility, is part of the power of living in the moment.

The potential and promise of change brings hope and excitement to the adventure of our life while being in the moment releases us from the past freeing us from the burden of what has been while we are able to receive the joy of being in the NOW.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Independence Day 2013: Freedom

Independence Day 2013

Freedom of Forgiveness

Independence Day Freedom

Today is the 4th of July; a day that all across the United States the concept of freedom is pondered and considered.

This concept is very powerful and in the years since our Forefathers espoused the principles of governance to guide the emerging nation that became our country freedom has been a constant principle, sometimes misused, sometimes misunderstood and yet it remains a deep principle and tenet of our consciousness.

The freedom to do, the freedom to say, the freedom to think and the freedom to be are all cornerstones of the awareness of modern man all around the planet.
Today as I meditate and ponder upon these weighty concepts I am aware of a kind of freedom that comes not from a governmental system but rather from our individual heart, mind and Soul. That is the freedom to forgive ourselves.

It is not unusual that I would think of this as I have been working on creating meditations on Self-Forgiveness for a variety of different groups in a variety of circumstances of life events. But as I ponder the concept of Freedom as the dawn breaks over the skies of a 4th of July, the freedom to forgive oneself and to free oneself from the endless toxic cycle of self-judgment and recrimination seems to be important.

All too often our thoughts and feelings are trapped in self-blame, self-doubt and shame that not only limits our ability to be free but destroys our hope, our promise and our potential to both give and receive love.

This lack of self-forgiveness, this blame game we all play to varying degrees, disconnects us from those around us, separates and isolates us and denies both us and others of the Love that we all so desperately need and desire. It serves no purpose for all that you have ever done and all that has ever been done to you is in the past. It is only by your lack of self-forgiveness or forgiveness of the other that it is brought into the present to contaminate what is truly happening and deprive you of the peace the love and the joy that life is offering you in the now, in this moment, here and now today.

As we celebrate with family and friends the freedoms we enjoy, I invite you to add a new freedom to enjoy, the freedom from self-judgment, self-blame and self-recrimination.” – Genevieve Gerard

To do this I invite you into the present, into this moment of time. Consciously and with intention realize that the past is past. It cannot invade or influence this moment of time unless you invite it in. In the moment you have the power and the freedom to be released from any and all pain and circumstance in life that has come before.

Let yourself enter into the freedom that this moment grants by both expanding your awareness into this moment of time and confining your awareness to this moment of time. In this moment the past is both dissolved and resolved. In this moment all you have ever experience can be released because it is in the past. You are free from it. You are unfettered and released in the awareness that because it is in the past it cannot be altered or changed, but it can be forgiven.

In this moment is a magic that lays before you a future that has not been written that holds a potential and a promise that everything can be different and new from everything that has ever come before. This power is available to you as you enter into the reality and realization of what is truth, without the distortion of the past. Accepting this moment, while releasing and forgiving what has been, while opening yourself to all that can be, all that can happen in this ongoing adventure of life.

Shedding the past as the worn out garment you have worn and worried too long invites you into NOW and gives you true freedom, the freedom to be and the freedom to become all that you have ever longed to be.

Accept this freedom, release the past through self-forgiveness and embrace the full possibility of your life to celebrate true independence.

Happy Independence Day. Today is truly the first day of the rest of your life. Go forth freed from past errors and mistakes to fulfill you higher purpose and destiny.

Namaste

Winter Solstice Vision

Winter Solstice:

A Vision to Usher in the New Age

snow capped forest with the dawn of light coming through

From a dream by Genevieve Gerard preparatory to the Winter Solstice

Here, Now, at this moment of time this exists within, cloaked and encased in the poignant power of this moment of time, in the space of the Eternal Now, the opportunity to be free, be released, to be healed and restored.

Gather As Souls in the Hall of Records

Enter now into the Hall of Records.

Great Ancient Wisdom Hall of Records golden lighted books

 

Into this sacred place you are invited today.

Here we gather as Souls, as our consciousness only, we are free from the trappings of our bodies.

We are aware, without the burdens of our physical desires in the radiant pure blue Light of the Soul, of our eternal and essential Self.

This holy place is only accessible in the Eternal NOW. It is open to you through your meditation for your healing, for your empowerment to provide the perspective of enlightenment, to grant you greater clarity and freedom.

Here, in this radiant room of white alabaster, as far as the eye can see are sections of shelves overflowing with golden scrolls, here is the recorded history of your progression through lives and your progression through the annals of time.

Here reside the lessons your Soul has learned in the adventure we call life.  Here all of your glories are recorded, all your failures are accessed, all your challenges recalled.

As you prepare to enter here you are met at the door by three angels, the first of which presents you with a gossamer robe of resounding light.

Your Angel of the Presence, blazing forth in resplendent Light and Glory, places a golden crown upon your head.

The Angel on the Threshold places a (rod) (staff) in your prepared and waiting hands.

Your Guardian Angel places a golden chain around your neck that has a diamond resplendent with rainbow light as unlimited prisms of color sparkle forth lighting the hall before you.

That Diamond Light connects your heart to the heart of the Christ and radiates in the Light Supernal the essence of pure love.  This love lights the room in ever-changing prisms of loving light.

You have come here today to do great work, great service.  From this task, you shall not waver.  From this task, you shall not shirk.

Behind you are all of your brethren.  Their strength supports you as your strength supports them.

Great work stands before you in the hall of records.  A service that will free your fellow man.  A work that will serve the transforming power of love.  A service that will heal and release bindings that have subverted and sabotaged the best efforts of man, lifetime after lifetime.

Now is the hour of release.  Now is the time of transformation.  The key to freedom has been given to you and to all who enter herein with a clarity of purpose and intention.

The tasks before you are not small.  The task before you may not be easy.  The task before you is absolutely and completely essential to ushering in the new age in a way that can bring real and lasting change.

So important is this work that all of the hierarchy, masters, and initiates are here to join this work and do their part, encompassing all of their lives throughout the span of time.

So important is this work that the Souls of all those dedicated servants of mankind called the New Group of World Servers are gathered to both aid the work and receive the blessing and transformation it will bring.

This is a moment in time for which mankind has waited for over 26,000 years.  This is a release that will heal our hearts, our minds, and our Souls from sorrows and pains that we did not even know we carried.

Here, in the Hall of Records, with the aggregate of all of our lives since the earth was formed we are charged to completely, now and forever, wield the power of forgiveness.

As we look upon the recorded history of our journey through time we are charged to forgive, now and forever, any and all slights and wrongs, no matter how large, no matter how small.  We forgive every betrayal, every selfish or self-serving act that ever caused us to hurt or harm.

We release now and forever any vows of vengeance or retribution, releasing us and the other from the karmic bonds that have limited us.

No sin is too great or too small.  It is all offered up.  It is all forgiven.  It is all released through an act of grace by the Lords of Karma.

Winter Solstice Forgiveness

 

Freedom from the limitations of the past is opened, here and now, through this unprecedented flow of forgiveness.  You must give the forgiveness to receive forgiveness.

 

This is the opportunity to wipe your slate clean and to wipe clean the slate of all your brethren through their parade of roles and relationships in your lives.

 

Now and forever you may be free of all that has come before by this awe-inspiring act of forgiveness, this profound, powerful, and poignant moment in the annals of life and the annals of time.

Embrace this power of forgiveness; free yourself from the karmic ravages of the past in time.  Release yourself and release all who have ever walked through any of your lives, completely, now and forever, throughout time, beyond time, freed from time.

Forgiveness is the portal to your complete freedom to be and become all you were created to be.  This gift is yours and available to all of your brethren who gather in this hall today.

Now is the moment, the moment is eternal, the release is complete, the healing is complete.  The miracle of forgiveness opens to freedom.  Love is fully served and love prevails beyond our imagining.

Something magical and miraculous is happening here on planet earth. It happens at the winter solstice as we move out of the challenging year of 2020, we move beyond the sacrifice and sorrows of a worldwide pandemic that has cost the world so many as we enter a new time of hope and healing. As we transition from the darkness into the Light comes an opportunity to practice the pillars of virtue, harmlessness, kindness, compassion, and right speech.

As we celebrate the Solstice it is time to celebrate and embrace the transforming power of Love that is flooding to Earth from the Heavens. As we enter the New Year of 2021 the Angels are aligning with the ashram of Christ to help humanity make the next step forward in learning to Love.

Love is the answer to a myriad of life’s problems. The power of Love is transformation. It is available without limitation freely to all simply by opening your heart and inviting it in.

Within you is your Soul, whose nature is Love. As you open your heart, calls to like and Love flows freely to you from the unlimited Source of Love to infuse you and transform you. The stars and planets are aligning across the Universe to ignite and empower the consciousness of humanity with enlightened awareness as the veils of illusion shred.

Truth and clarity reveal the strength of unity and brotherhood/sisterhood among the human family of the world. Resources of revelation guide restoration and redemption. The gifts of this Solstice of 2020 are available to heal the world after the death and devastation of a worldwide pandemic and offer hope and the promise of new solutions and new opportunities.

As always in the human adventure there is free will and free choice. I call upon you to choose Love, to choose kindness, to choose compassion, and to choose harmlessness. After a year of disagreement and division, it is time to practice forgiveness. It is time to find what strengthens and unites us. It is time to practice the commandment of Christ to “Love One Another“. 

A Winter Solstice Ritual for Forgiveness

This is to help you take full advantage of this event of forgiveness.

From the sacred place within the hall of records, take your stand.

Declare from the point of focus of your Soul to forgive all others who have ever, in any time, in any life, caused you harm, created sorrow or suffering in your life, wronged you in any way.

Let yourself release the pains of attachment. Let the Light of Love enlighten you and free you as being in the eternal NOW loosens and releases you as you stand forth in the eternal glory of your eternal essence, your Soul.

As you clearly state your intention and desire to forgive, focus your heart energy in Love.  Let that love fill your heart and pervade your being.  No matter what the sorrow, no matter what the sin, love can heal it and you and all who have ever sinned against you can be released into the freedom and the joy of forgiveness.

From the center of your heart see lines of love come forth from your Soul, scanning and reviewing the aggregate golden scrolls stored in the hall of records.  Let the bond of Love connect your Soul to the Soul of the one whose life is recorded herein.  At that touch, forgiveness springs forth and Love heals and restores you and all with whom you have ever shared the bonds of love.

All sorrow melts away and the joy of unity is restored.  Karma is both transcended and released at this touch through the miraculous transformation.  This is an act of Grace over-lighted by the Lords of Karma who have gathered at this juncture of time, the transition of the ages to give the gift of release and forgiveness to all who are willing to forgive.

Freedom rings forth throughout the universe with the release that forgiveness brings.  The healing is complete and on all levels.

Your will and intention are all it takes.

With each strand of Light that flows forth from your heart and your Soul, carried on the wings of love, forgiveness heals and transforms the past, throughout the annals of time, along the scrolls of the recorded events of all your lives and the recorded lives of all who you have touched throughout time.

With the full force of your will, with the full power of your love, send forth from your Soul to the awaiting Soul of the other with the statement, “I forgive you, now and forever, from the past and in the present, in this dynamic moment of the eternal now.“

Within the laws of love and imbued with the grace of compassion and mercy I release you from any karmic debts owed to me.  I join this spirit of utter and complete forgiveness by asking forgiveness from you for any harm or wrongs I may have committed, knowing, or unknowing throughout our lives, no matter how large or how small.

Lastly, but as important I invoke and invite this gift of forgiveness by forgiving myself.  I have made mistakes.  I have been selfish and self-serving.  I have failed to live by the laws of love and harmlessness.  I sincerely repent of these ways and invite into my life the release of redemption and the joy of love and unity for the rest of my life.

In the downpouring love of the heart of the Christ with the outpouring cleansing and healing waters of this new Age of Aquarius I am made anew.  I assert my intention to live my life from this day forth by the laws of love, aware of harmlessness and right speech as my guiding principles.

Most of all know that I Am Love.

And thus, I stand.  Here as revealed and recorded in the sacred space of the hall of records, freed to go forth and live fully and serve fully unencumbered by the past, free to the joy and grace of the ongoing celebration of the eternal Now.

 

Before you leave this sacred place take a moment and pause. Give your thanks and appreciation to the Angels who keep the Hall of Records as their work and service throughout eternity in the eternal now for the granting of Grace and igniting the release of forgiveness empowered by Divine Love.

Then take some time to bask in this release today as the 2020 Winter Solstice celebrates the return of the Light after the darkest hour. Let all of your sorrows be released into the darkness as with the rising of the Light comes the reassurance that good will prevail.

Record your meditations and contemplations to help empower you and enlighten you as you prepare for a new year in the turn of life and a new decade in the wheel of time for humanity in the evolution of consciousness.

 

Namaste,

   Genevieve Gerard

It Is What It Is

It is What It Is

It Is What It Is

Often when events occur in our life we engage in an intellectual and emotional process of trying to determine whether what is happening is good or bad. Although a habitual response to evaluating our life, this is really a waste of our energy. The reality is that “It Just Is”. Because it is the way things are now, does not mean that it is the way things will always be, but right now, whatever is, it is what it is.

The practice of judging what is or evaluating what is, serves no real purpose in our life.

Visualizing the path from what is happening now to what we desire to see unfold is a better use of our efforts. — Genevieve Gerard

As we have explored in a prior article – Energy Follows Thought and other Energy Follows Thought related posts using the powerful resource of your mind to reinforce that which we determine to be negative just adds power and substance to negativity.

Therefore, acknowledge ‘what is’ as a powerful tool for letting it be in the now, in the moment and free the power of your mind to create with intention what you wish to see different in your life.

One Day At A Time

Reflections on Life

One Day at a Time

In spite of our attempts to plan and control our lives, all that we can ever do is live our lives one day at a time.  In fact, even that is a misnomer, for truly all that we can do is live in the moment, in the now.  No matter how much we plan or try to bring our wishes or will into the future, we have only this moment of time, this now.  Refusing to accept this essential fact or trying to change it is a significant factor in denying us the peace and joy that is our birthright.

Ironically, it is in understanding this fact that we are freed from our fears and the tyranny of our worries.  In the moment, we know that we will never be tried beyond our ability to cope with the challenges that life puts in our path.  Fear becomes both meaningless and useless as we acknowledge the deep truth that what we most fear may never happen.

Forgiveness too becomes more powerfully possible as what we need to forgive is in the past, and thus looses much of its pain in the transition to the moment.

You can remember the pain, but the pain has passed.  You can worry about the future, but the future has not yet happened.

In the moment, in the now we are granted a grace that gives us the strength to bear what we had feared would be unbearable and forgive what we thought would be unforgivable.” – Genevieve Gerard

To help us bring our awareness to this moment and let go of the fears and illusions our mind and emotions create we can meditate, and through meditation be blessed with a life free of fear.  Our sorrows and losses are diminished by the realization that they are in the past and you have survived and thrived; your have transcended and conquered all.

You are here, right now and whatever life brings you can handle it and cope with it in the blessed awareness and wisdom of the now.

How Being in the Now Heals Your Past

Being in the Now

There is great freedom in being in the now. In the present moment that is, right now, any burden in life is scaled down in perspective. It is only when an event or circumstance is outside of the now, outside of the moment that we become overwhelmed. In the now, we always have the strength to bear whatever life requires. The thoughts that things will always be the way they are now adds a burden we were never meant to bear. Most importantly we do not have to bear that pain. If we choose we can, by shifting our consciousness and our perspective to the now, remove that pain as if it never existed, because, it doesn’t exist in the now. It is only a past or future thought form projection that we have placed a meaning on. You can heal your life, give yourself a fresh perspective.
