Claim Your Destiny

It Is Never Too Late to Claim Your Destiny

From your times of childhood dreams and desires, a sense of destiny may have teased your mind.

Throughout your life, you may have argued with yourself to put aside those thoughts of destiny, telling yourself that, “life is what happens to you.” I believe the rest of that statement is, “while you are making other plans.”

Indeed, a great deal happens in life! If you simply expected life to lead your destiny it may seem fulfilling that sense of destiny was possible when you dared to dream.

But then life happened. You made choices that didn’t work out the way you planned. You made mistakes. You began to no longer trust yourself, or more seriously to trust your life to lead you to your destiny. You may have lost hope, become discouraged, become complacent, or even contented.

What do you feel it is that keeps holding you back?
Is it the things that people have said you are not good at?
Is it something people have told you that you lack?
Is it a personal characteristic or physical trait that you are subconscious of?
– Claim Your Destiny by Sugar Ray Destin, Jr.

After all, you may have thought and reasoned, those were childhood dreams, childhood images, and you are now an adult. You have put away childish things. Life, you thought, is what is happening, good or bad, positive or negative, it is what is real. Dreams, and certainly dreams or a sense of destiny guiding and even directing you, are not really real.

Yet for some strange reason, in the quiet recesses of your mind, in the undirected and undisciplined mind chatter, you find fragments of those childhood dreams and that sense of destiny compelling you, and you may find a bittersweet tear in your eye as you smile and morn the dream that has never manifested in your life.

You may conclude that it is too late for your life to change. You may think that the die has been cast. If you believe in such things, you may even sigh and say, “well, maybe next life.”

As I am meditating and pondering on destiny, I am aware that as long as there is life, there is hope.
– Genevieve Gerard

I am reminded of the powerful and impersonal law of the Universe that “energy follows thought.” And I am aware that the sense of destiny that formed so many childhood fantasies and dreams is so often the initial contact of your Soul revealing to you your life’s purpose.

As I write these words and go deeper into these thoughts of my mind and of my Soul, about destiny, I am reminded that within these childhood daydreams there may be, for many, a first contact and subtle connection with an Angel, an Angel who foretold or forecast about your future and destiny.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
– Lao Tzu

As I ponder and consider destiny and Soul purpose, I am reminded that it is never too late to fulfill your Soul purpose. I ask you to stop and pause and take a few moments to dream and remember what you once dared to think and dream about your life and about your purpose before you made the compromises or accepted the limiting beliefs that structure your reality today.

I ask you to pause to ask yourself when and why you left your dreams and your sense of destiny behind.

I ask you to meditate upon and consider what you feel your Soul is directing you toward. I invite you to “calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.”

As you do this, I encourage you to open your mind and your heart to new possibilities.

I invite you to open to and consider new opportunities.

I ask you to imagine any limiting beliefs falling away from you and gathering around your feet like old used and dirty clothes. As they lie there on the ground imagine the breeze of an Angel stirring them, as they gather into scraps of flotsam and jetsam and form into a white bird as they take wing and fly away across a clear blue sky until they have flown out of site and are no longer in the field of your thoughts.

I invite and encourage you to, with a calm mind and open heart, invite into your awareness the Light of your Soul and let it spark your intuition and inspiration to reaffirm and align your life with your Soul purpose no matter what the situation or circumstances in which you currently find yourself, right here, right now, today.

I ask you to consciously invite your Soul to claim your destiny and align you will with your Soul purpose as you affirm and confirm with the words of power:

Purpose Itself Am I

I invite you to do the following guided visualization and claim your destiny today.

Aligning & Igniting with Your Soul Purpose

Take a moment to decide that you desire to live out the balance of your days aligning with and fulfilling your destiny.

Gather your journal and sit and quietly let your mind drop your everyday focus. Let yourself dream. Let your imagination be free.

Take in a very deep and relaxing breath and let your body surrender to the support of your chair, realizing you are being supported by the chair, which is supported by the floor, which is supported by the earth. This support is available to you through the Law of Gravity and is part of the support you receive as a child of God. It is one of many natural laws that are available to help you manifest your dreams.

Take in another deep breath imagining you are, with that breath, inviting the Light of your Soul to ignite your intuition and enflame your inspiration.

For a brief span of moments, suspend judgments and relax your logical mind. Release with a deep and relaxing breath all criticism of yourself. Let blame go. Let yourself just be and let your mind be free.

Continue drawing in deep, relaxing, and fulfilling breaths, as you, with each exhale, release any fears that may emerge or any thoughts that may be discouraging as you simply draw upon the resources of your Higher Self (your Soul) to empower your life.

Take the time to build a pathway of Light from the top of your head to your heart. Imagine that Light is infused and ignited by a Light above your head that glows with the radiance of your Soul. As you breathe in, imagine that Light igniting and inspiring your imagination. See that Light stimulating your creativity.

With your exhale as you release your breath, consciously and with intention put the past behind you. As you do this, realize you are releasing old bonds that have held you. Let them go!

Now, as you draw in a new breath, bring with it from the unlimited abundance of the force of life itself all that you need to manifest in your life your destiny.

Bring the energy deep into your heart and ponder on and consider what truly is your heart’s desire. Imagine that desire expanding the breadth and reach of your heart.

For a cycle to 3 or more breaths, let your energy circulate and stimulate the path from your Soul to the top of your head and then to your heart. As you sit with that circulation, allow your energy to continue to release self-criticism and judgment and let yourself absorb and enjoy the free flow of freedom that inspires and ignites your creativity.

This moment, this meditation offers you new opportunities. And since you have released the past and entered into the present, you are standing on a threshold of possibilities that have never been before. The energy of this moment, this Now is new. Claim it. Create with it what is your Soul purpose, what is your life purpose, what you now dare to dream, and only in the NOW dare to do.

Sit quietly and calmly merely breathing in and breathing out allowing and accepting the wisdom of your Soul to infuse you until you feel ready to return to the requirements and routines of your life assured that there are new possibilities and new opportunities that you can claim and incorporate into your life as you move forward.

Before you leave this experience behind, please take a few moments to record the thoughts you have had, the ideas that have emerged from the chatter of your mind, aware that within them may well be the wisdom of your Soul and the guiding whisper of your Angels.

Last, offer gratitude and appreciation for your experience in this mediation and then go forth and consider all the ideas and impressions you have received.

Let Your Dream Grow

Your destiny does not always reveal itself overnight. Don’t expect to make one significant change in your life and see the results the next day. These insights into your destiny and the actions you take in life take time. You have to let your Soul do its work and you also have to let the universe do its thing. Just remember, today is truly the first day of the rest of your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Remember Who You Truly Are

Genevieve Gerard

Remember Who You Truly Are

Perhaps, one of the most powerful and profound messages I have ever received in meditation was the instruction to, “Remember Who You Truly Are.”

This phrase not only impacted my spiritual life at the time I first received this instruction but has returned to my ponderings throughout the years.

Today, I share it with you, hoping that within your meditations and ponderings you will find insight, strength, and wisdom.

When you focus on this question I encourage you to have your spiritual journal with you. Recording the ideas you receive helps you gain greater depth and understandings of flashes of awareness.

You might initially respond to this Koan by thinking it is silly. You could dismiss it by giving simplistic answers. A Koan is an exercise of finding a deeper truth. I believe to benefit from the use of a Koan, you must look beyond the surface into the heart of the question. In that way, the truth is revealed.

As you ponder the question, consider if you will, all of the roles and titles you have carried through your life. Most have been descriptions of what you do, not who you are.

Once you move through the identities of what roles you have played in your life, what is left?

Are you larger than the jobs you have done or the roles you played in other’s lives?

At the center of your being, you have the answer;
you know who you are and you know what you want.
– Lao Tzu

A Meditation To Explore Who You Truly Are

Take a deep breath as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

Sit quietly and listen in the silence to the promptings of your Soul. How does it answer the question, “Who Am I, Truly?”

Let your heart experience whatever comes to you. Let your mind be free. Suspend judgment.

Open to the wisdom of your Soul. Invite it to reveal to you awareness you may have never perceived before.

There is no wrong answer. Just open your heart and mind to the promptings of your Soul.

Listen, in the silence with your whole being as you ponder “Who am I, truly?”

Consider the thoughts, concepts, and feelings that drift into your being. In the silence, you may find paths of consciousness that call to you.

Let them flow freely, opening understandings that are new to you. You may wish to pause and record these impressions in your journal so you can return to them in another time, in another meditation.

You may experience an expanded sense of being. Let your awareness grow to the edges of your consciousness. Let your perception be limitless.

Taking a deep and relaxing breath, release with your exhale any stress you may be holding in your body. That stress is not a part of who you truly are, so you can let it go.

Then draw in another deep and relaxing breath. As you release your breath, you can release your fears. They are not a part of who you truly are.

Now, as you breathe in another deep and relaxing breath realize you can, with your exhale, release any limiting beliefs and thought-forms you may be holding. They too are not part of who you truly are.

Return to the silence, as you realize these burdens of stress, fears and limiting beliefs you have carried are not a part of your true self, your essential self. They have not served you, and you have no need to ever gather them to you again.

Return to the question you are pondering; who am I truly if I am not my stresses, my fears or the beliefs that have limited me?

Allow the peace of this experience to permeate your essence. As you breathe in, breathe in that peace and calm. Be aware that you are breathing in peace and calm that comes from the very essence of yourself.

Let the energy in your heart expand into that peace. Let the Love of your Soul fill your heart as you let yourself Love and appreciate who you are.

In the calm and the silence of this moment let yourself receive the grace of loving and accepting yourself.

In the pause of remembering who you truly are let the grace of self-forgiveness fill your heart and mind.

You are more than the total of the roles you have played and the deeds you have done. You are more than your emotions and beliefs. Within you, there is an essential Self. Open your awareness to that Self.

In the silence, in the calm afterglow of this meditation receive the Love that your Soul has for you. Receive the grace that is your birthright as a spark of the Divine Light that inhabits us all.

Record your thoughts, feelings, and impressions in your journal at this time. Remember that writing about what you have experienced helps you ground and solidify that experience.

Expand your awareness to receive the flow of unlimited Love and compassion that is the nature of your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

Be Open To Your Soul

Take a moment, as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light of your Soul, to ponder on what you have received in response to the question who am I truly.

Expand your awareness to receive the flow of unlimited love and compassion that is the nature of your Soul.

As, that Love fills your heart and illumines your mind, realize and celebrate that your Soul is an integral essence of who you are.

Yes, you have a human and material body, but you are much more than your body.

Certainly, you have emotions, but they are only experiences along the adventure of life. They are not who you truly are.

Amazingly, you have a mind, capable of great thoughts and expansions of consciousness. Within that mind is the power of imagining and perceiving that which is beyond what is material into an essence which is Spirit.

As a Soul, you are a co-creator with the Divine of the nature and purpose of your life. Yet, for your Soul to work in the world and influence matter, it needs the actions of your physical body.

It requires the understanding and cooperation of others that comes from the practice of compassion and the demonstration of Love that only you as a dual nature of Spirit/Soul and Matter/Body, can offer to the world.
– Genevieve Gerard

Your personality and ego are part of a team that brings the Spirit into manifestation in the physical universe. This merger of your Soul with the material is focused on bringing Love into the world of matter.

Love is the essential nature of the Soul and the nature of the Divine. YOU, as a human being are the incredible miracle of life created to bridge those worlds, to reveal that truth, to learn and teach the nature of Love.

For this great task was humanity created. For this great service to the whole universe are you here on Planet Earth, learning, growing and striving to transform matter with Love.

This integration of your Soul (whose nature is Love united with Divine Purpose and Will) with your physical body, emotions mind and personality is a divine purpose in life that has a purpose beyond what you can know and see.

Being, and becoming who you truly are, and remembering and revealing your Divine nature while in human form is the pathway that all of humanity must travel to fulfill the Divine Plan and destiny for humanity.

You are an adventurer. You are a trailblazer. You are a child of God and a spark of Spirit merging divine source into matter as you learn to express and share Love.

In all of creation, the human being is a unique and special being. Be who you are. Celebrate this miracle of life you have been granted. Accept the love and guidance of your Soul as you master your physical, emotional and mental nature and integrate your personality with your Soul.

As your consciousness returns to the activities and requirements of your life, realize that this meditation of remembering can empower you.

You can return to this meditation and this pondering as often as you like. Each experience can deepen and reveal ever more of the mystery of remembering who you truly are.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Open Yourself To Being Guided By Kindness

Genevieve Gerard

Open Yourself To Being Guided By Kindness

A standard can be applied to life’s many little decisions that can help you choose what is right and help you create a better world.

That is to let kindness be your guide.

It does not matter if others believe what you believe; you can be a teacher of your truth, without words, by simple acts of kindness.

Kindness demonstrates and teaches more than your words ever can. As the adage simply states, “Action speaks louder than words.”

Kindness is a gateway to compassion.
Compassion is a gateway to Love.
– Genevieve Gerard

For most, to live a spiritual life, to follow the teachings of Christ, can be a challenge as circumstances and events present themselves.

Anger, frustration and judging others as wrong or lacking in some way, are all too easy to do. Deep in your heart and Soul you know that is not what Jesus would have done. His teachings speak of forgiving many times, yet this may seem to be too hard to do. To respond with kindness is somehow more achievable.

Therefore, I suggest simply allowing the concept of kindness to be your guide.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.
– Lao Tzu

Somehow, kindness is a simpler standard to achieve in your relationships with others. It can be communicated in a smile or a random compliment to a complete stranger. That simple act, even a random act of kindness, can have a profound influence on someone else’s life.

Often it costs you nothing to give. Frequently, it does not require planning or forethought. Kindness can provide hope to another that has become hopeless, or encouragement to someone who is lonely or discouraged.

A kind word and a kind act most often cost you nothing. It is a small way that you can make the world a better place.

None of us can ever know the secret burdens in the lives of others. However, when we practice kindness we can have an impact and influence to ease their way. Even though we may never know the result of our little gesture of goodwill, at times it may have a dramatic and transforming effect.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
– Aesop

Kindness is a cornerstone of right human relations that builds and grows as it moves from one person to the next. It ignites energy that can then be passed along.

Kindness requires no belief system. It is a way to demonstrate your love and your joy with total strangers. Although you may never know the influence a kind word has in someone’s life, it is a powerful way to share the spiritual blessings you have received. It is a way that you can be an instrument of grace and compassion in the world.

My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.
– Dalai Lama

When you consider how you can emulate the lives of the great spiritual teachers of the world, it is easy to feel that they are so far beyond you that you have no chance. You know your limitations. Kindness is so simple and so easy that it is a way that you can be a spark of Divine Light and an emissary of Divine Love as you walk through your daily Life.

When you let kindness be your guide, many of the spiritual teachings are fulfilled. It does not require deep understanding of theology or philosophy to practice kindness, yet it has a powerful influence.

Kindness is a way to demonstrate the qualities of Love and grace for others. The wonderful thing about kindness is that it becomes contagious and when it becomes a habit blesses your life in return.

A kind act or a kind deed brings Light into an environment. It helps dispel sorrow. It loosens the bonds of fear. And amazingly this happens spontaneously.

Kindness brings a response in others that emerges naturally.

Think about a time you may have been feeling a little down or insecure and a complete stranger offered you a very simple compliment. Something said to you as simple as remarking “you have such beautiful eyes.” Did that random comment by a stranger not give you a gift of support and encouragement?

Kindness is a way to pass that good feeling on.

Download your copy of the Gift of Love Meditation MP3.

I encourage you to try an experiment of noticing the lives of strangers around you as you engage in a practice of random acts of kindness this week. Observe the way that it makes you feel to be kind to others. Notice how their body language might change after your act of kindness.

Most of all, notice how the generosity of a kind word or kind act makes you feel. For me, it is happier, more relaxed and less isolated in the world.

It is by giving we receive. Through kindness, you can be the change in the world that you wish to see. Remember to be guided by kindness, practice acts of courtesy, good will, graciousness, understanding, and tenderness.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Life is a series of spontaneous changes

Life Is A Series of Spontaneous Changes

Invocations and Affirmations for Change

Change…
is a fact of life.

From the moment we are born to the last breathe we take, change is a part of life.

This aspect of living can serve as the seat of all hope and promise, or the fuel for all fears.

This understanding of the nature of life as a never-ending cycle of change leads me to wonder how this can be used to enhance what is experienced in an individual life.

It is important to understand that the life principle that brings change, is neither good nor bad. You can use change to create the life of your dreams when you harness the inevitable and direct it with your positive thoughts and affirmations.

When things are in the flux of changing is an excellent opportunity to look at the events in your life and reconsider them. All too often, there is a tendency in life to accept the status quo, letting life move on without conscious thought or consideration.

These times of change can provide you the opportunity to consciously consider what is working for you in your life and what changes you may want to make or need to make.

I believe it is human nature to have an initial fear response to change. You know deep down that you can handle and cope with what has been, but even if it wasn’t what you wanted or needed, a change takes you into the unknown and untried.

Fortunately, sometimes life conspires to introduce change, not only through conscious decisions and choices but often through life lessons and happenings beyond your control.

Life is a series of spontaneous changes.
– Lao Tzu

It is at these times in life that it is important to harness your fears and seize the day. When you transmute and transform your fears of change, you opening your life to an unlimited possibility to become the life you have, until now, only dared to dream.

Some Important Steps to Take Advantage of Change

1. Put the past firmly in the past.

2. Realize that what will become the future is just now being formed and created

3. As you consider the events of your past, take a moment to consider them from a different perspective, the perspective of your Higher Self.

One cannot step into the same river twice.
– Heraclitus

4. This is a dynamic time to use the techniques of journaling to support you in your transition.

5. Choose to use the powerful universal principle, that energy follows thought

6. Release your fears.

7. Now is a good time to

forgive yourself

8. Consciously use the tools of affirmation and invocation

Invocations and Affirmations for Change

As the winds of change blow into my life, I open my life and invoke and invite into my life the circumstances and situations that will help me to fulfill the purpose of my life.

I call upon my guardian angel and guiding angels to bring to my awareness the opportunities that I may not see in the confusion and chaos that may accompany change.

Heavenly Father, Divine Mother I know that as things change your love is eternal and your grace is sufficient to my needs.

With full faith and confidence in life, I open my heart to love as new people come into my life. I welcome new friends and companions on the path.

I welcome the possibilities and potential that change brings to the present.

I call upon my Divine Self for inspiration and my Higher Self for direction, that I may take advantage of the changes that life has sent my way.

It is in times of transition that you can transform and
empower your life.
– Genevieve Gerard

Some Positive Affirmations to use in times of change

I affirm that:

The seeds for my success are available in each new situation.

Life brings me what I need to grow and to thrive, so I will thrive and grow.

With change comes a new chance to manifest my goals.

Take advantage of the times in life where change comes, often without your plan or desire. Harness these times to bring into your life what you have learned you need to align your life with your life’s purpose, your goals and your dreams.

Whether the changes that are occurring in your life seem to be happenstance or are planned, they present you with new conditions that you can utilize to bring into manifestation conditions that support and encourage your success.

What has always amazed me about the dynamic principle of change is that no matter how sudden or unexpected it might be, it can bring with it, in an instant, opportunities beyond your wildest dreams. So use that awareness to minimize your fears and embrace new possibilities with a sense of excitement and promise.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created for something new to emerge.
– Eckhart Tolle

So whether a change is planned or not, invited or not, use it as a chance to practice the tools and techniques of conscious living.

Calm your mind, open your heart and invite in the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self.

Listen to the quiet promptings of your intuition. Ponder on this.

Remember to, in this moment of time, in the midst of the challenges of life and the chaos of transition and change, align with your life purpose. It is your life and belongs uniquely to you to make of it what you will.

Right now, this very moment, you are free of the past and empowered to be an active and vital force in the creation of a future that is, as yet, unformed.

Today, right now, new possibilities come your way on the wings of change. Harness the power of your mind. Use the tools and techniques of transformation to bring into manifestation the life that you desire.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard
