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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That step is surrender.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Soul Connection

Soul Connection

by Genevieve Gerard

Connecting to the Soul is the most profound and transformative part of the meditative experience.

It is through the connection of the personality, the lower self, to the energy of the Soul, the Higher Self, that we are able to experience that within us which is eternal.

It is our Soul that contains the Divine spark. By connecting to our Soul we are granted a glimpse into an awareness of our oneness with all of creation. It is through our Soul that we are receptive to the Divine.

Through the practice of meditation, when the mind is quieted and the emotions are calmed the Soul shines forth in all of its glory.”

– Genevieve Gerard

It is through the connection to the Soul that we are granted the insight into the moment that brings relief and release from life’s burdens.

Through meditation, as we connect to the Soul we are bringing ourselves into union with our Higher Self that we may experience wholeness. This unified self opens more and more to the Light, like the petals of a lotus allowing more and more awareness to flow into our life. The union with the Soul gives us an awareness of the Self that is greater and wiser than we are able to experience when focused upon our personality and personal needs and desires.

By meditating regularly to come into union with the Soul we find our perspective changing. We begin to see alternative interpretations of the events of our life. This begins slowly, and initially can only be experienced in the meditative state, but in a regular relationship with the Soul the awareness of those brief moments of connection to the Divine begins to expand and give us new insights and understandings throughout the day.

Through the process of systematically learning to quiet the mind and calm the emotions you change your life by reducing stress. Confidence in your ability to be in control of your body, mind and emotions translates into confidence to be in more control of your life.

Each time you make the conscious decision to meditate you are creating the opportunity for your lower self to gain a greater understanding of life. Just the process of quieting the mind and calming the emotions is its own reward.

When you add the connection to the Soul, the experience of meditation can expand into a receptivity that increases your understanding of your self and your life. The more regularly the connection with the Soul is experienced, the more the insights and wisdom of the Higher Self become available to you. The sense of being centered and the sense of calm confidence make their way into your daily life.

As you build and reinforce the pathway of connection to the Soul it becomes increasingly easy to touch the Light of the Soul as you go through your daily life. This touch of Soul contact helps you gain a different understanding and more profound awareness. Over time, as the connection is reinforced and strengthened you find that your life is freed more and more from the lure of negative emotions, and the experience of peace and joy will pervade your being.

Dispelling Fear with the Light of the Soul

Genevieve Gerard

Dispelling Fear with the Light of the Soul

Fear is perhaps the most limiting and damaging factor in preventing the fulfillment of our Soul’s purpose in life and preventing us from enjoying and experiencing the joy that is our birthright of human experience.

Because fear is a destroyer, damaging the full expression of life and joy wherever it raises its ugliness, it is important that we learn to transcend the limitations that fear imposes on our life experiences.

Fear interferes with us manifesting our true purpose in life, our call to service in life, and the creative expression that our life would be and could be if we conquer and dispel fear.

Our mind chatter, what the ancients called the Chitta of the mind, is a constant dispenser of negativity and limitation that goes on in the back of the mind, droning negativity and disempowerment through the imaginings of our fears.

To overcome the mind chatter and the feelings of fear may seem simple for some, but it’s not easy.

Learning To Dispel Fear

Learning to dispel and release fear through the application of Soul Light is one of the most powerful and life-transforming benefits of meditation.
– Genevieve Gerard

Learning to transcend the limitations of fear and to respond to the possibilities and potentialities of life– to bring forth into the Light, the Love that underlies the happenings of the times–can be a major accomplishment of a lifetime.

Learning the lessons of love and learning to demonstrate those lessons can occupy our consciousness through many lifetimes as we explore our multifaceted roles in life as co-creators with the Divine.

Imagine if you will for just a moment, the amazing reservoir of energy that would be freed for your creative use in life if you could free yourself of the debilitation, exhaustion, and conflict that is currently using your energy. Consider the limitations on your energy, the possible negative consequences of every thought, and every action, that fear engenders in you.

Imagine, the dreams you would dare to dream and the potential you would dare to manifest if you could quiet the harassing voice of your fears in your mind. The amazing thing is that you can, through the practice of meditation, learn to quiet the destructive chatter of fear and free yourself to manifest your potential and your purpose in life.

Much like the training of the physical body by an athlete, you can, through the practice and art of meditation, learn to train your mind and emotions to focus upon what is possible, what you can manifest, what you can bring into being.

There are in the annals of the practice of meditation a myriad of techniques you can employ to learn to harness what the ancients often referred to as the monkey mind and learn to quiet your fears.

Using Affirmations To Dispel Limitations & Fears

One of the simplest meditative techniques is the use of affirmations.

By affirming a statement, you employ simultaneously several important spiritual truths and universal principles. The first of these is the power of intention and the power of invocation.

Affirmations can be a first line of defense in learning to dispel the limitations and damage of your fears. By harnessing the positive creative power of your mind, you take the reins to direct your life.

Affirmations, when said with the coordinated determination of incorporating your Soul purpose and fulfilling your life purpose have a dynamic force. By use of a positive affirmation in your mental discipline you engage a mysterious powerful force in the principle that energy follows thought. This simple technique works energetically to bring into physical manifestation and experiential reality, that which you affirm.

A powerful way to use affirmations is to let them play in the background, then focus on them when one that makes you feel joy or resonates to you, strengthening the affirmation by adding your will and intention.

Another powerful way to use affirmations is to say them to yourself while looking in a mirror. This helps you align with the words and envision them as real for you and part of your life.

Affirmations activate the powerful universal principle that “energy follows thought.” When you use an affirmation realize that you are empowering your Soul to manifest what you envision in your life.

This is a new day I begin anew and claim and create all that is good.
– Louise Hay

When you use an affirmation, you are joining your Soul energy with your will and intention as a way of dispelling your fears and empowering your life.

Choose an affirmation that resonates with your Soul purpose and life purpose and use it as often as feels right, to replace fear with possibility and potential.

For this purpose I have created two collections of positive affirmations, Soaring to Success and Awaken to Success. They include a BONUS TRACK “How to Use Affirmations Effectively – How affirmations work and how to manifest what you want using any affirmation.”

Others on the path of Light have created others. You can create your own. The action of choosing the affirmation and considering the power of what you affirm is a part of the process.

Although using affirmations is a simple technique, it is powerful and life-changing.

Namaste,

Genevieve,
