New Years

New Year New You

New Year, New You

Read New Year, New You blog post by Genevieve Gerard

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.

I Am Feeling Free Meditation MP3 by Genevieve Gerard

 

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

Ways To Find Your Purpose In Life

Ways To Find Your Purpose In Life

Read about Ways To Find Your Purpose by Genevieve Gerard

 

I believe each life we are granted has a purpose.

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

 

Your Purpose Is Unique To You

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

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

Follow Your Dreams

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

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

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

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

Listen To Your Higher Self

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

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

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

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

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

I Have A Meditation That Can Help With That

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

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

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

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

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

Meditation To Find Purpose In Your Life

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

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

The Light of the Soul Descends
Soul Light Descending

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

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Before you is a future of unlimited possibility.

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

 

               – Genevieve Gerard

 

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

Namaste,

   Genevieve

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.  

  3. I open my mind to inspiring and enlightening awareness of what I can do to manifest my dreams.
  4.  

  5. 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
