Activation of Healing Energies

Activation of Healing Energies

Read Activation of Healing Energies article by Genevieve Gerard

This is another article in my on-going series on Healing.

When you pray for healing, you are activating energy.

Healing energy activation takes place on many levels.

First, it activates your thoughts, engaging the powerful life dynamic that “energy follows thought.”

Immediately by focusing positive thought, intention and desire on healing, the healing power within your body is empowered.  This happens in the organs and glands, all the way to the cellular level of your body and even into the atomic substance of your being.

Also, when you pray for healing you are calling upon help from the Divine.  In so doing, you are surrendering to and aligning with God’s Will and purpose for your life.  That is always powerful and empowering.  Re-aligning, or aligning for the first time in your life is transformative.

Your prayers also draw the conscious attention of your physical problem(s) to your Soul.  Praying for healing alerts your Higher Self that you are now open to learning whatever lesson the dis-ease was created to teach.

Dis-ease often manifests to alert you to the ways your life may have gone out of balance, physically, emotionally or with your thoughts.  Invoking healing and inviting healing declares your desire and your intention to rebalance and restore your life.

Your Soul then can call for the help and support of the angels.  It may call for the assistance of your guardian angel that is committed to you in this life, or it may call upon angels and devas who provide specialized energy that is more responsive to the healing that you need.

Energy is activated, and that activation creates a response on the physical level of your being, as well as in your emotional and mental bodies.

The merger of energies that invoking and surrendering to healing activates bridges the spiritual world with the world of matter and demonstrates the integration of the wholeness of the Self, body, emotions, mind and Soul.

It is important to remember that all of this happens energetically and spontaneously when you pray for or invoke, healing help.  Your conscious part in all of this is to keep your thoughts positive.  It is also important to remain receptive to what you need to learn from this dis-ease experience.  In that are the seeds of miracles and wisdom, ponder on this.

As you ask for healing it is of vital importance that you join in with the efforts being activated by your prayers.  Healing is a team effort, and you are by definition a key player on that team.  Divine intervention and angelic help are no substitutes for doing your work of consciousness to facilitate healing.

Important Ways That You Can Activate and Support the Healing Process:

Maintain a positive mental attitude.  The dynamic principle that “energy follows thought” is of paramount importance when you are involved in a healing transition.  It is a powerful time to engage the power of your mind.

Engaging the power of your mind as a support to the prayers and invocation for Divine and Angelic help is a way that you can help yourself.  That requires being conscious of what you are thinking and what you are feeling and, when you find your thoughts negative, immediately replacing that negative thought with a positive or hopeful one.

As much as it is important to cooperate in your healing by maintaining a positive mental attitude and using your mind to encourage and support your healing, so too is it important to use your time of healing and restoration to learn to conquer your fears.  Often in times of illness, you may experience fear.  This is normal and to be expected.  With severe illnesses the logical result, if there is no healing, is often death.  Focusing on your fears hinders healing.  Realize that sometimes the ultimate healing is the release of the physical form from this planet.  When invoking healing its best to invoke “right action” and live in the NOW moment.

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones.
       – Thich Nhat Hanh

These are two of the most important life lessons so it makes perfect sense that they would be significant in a time of healing.  Fear is both debilitating and damaging to your body, mind, and emotional well-being. Therefore, to take the time, while you are healing, to gain mastery over your negative thoughts and replace those with positive thoughts make perfect sense.  Likewise, take the time of healing to learn mastery over your fears.

Healing creates a fertile time to learn important life lessons; lessons which when mastered in the healing process, empower and improve the rest of your life.   That is why among those who work with “laying on of hands”, psychology and energetic healing often refer to an illness as a healing crisis.

Healing is a matter of time,
but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
       – Hippocrates

When you pray for healing and invoke the power of the Divine, the power of your Soul and the help and assistance of Angels, it is a good time to consider your life particularly in light of how you can improve your life.  What is the purpose of this life and how can you bring your life into alignment to manifest that purpose.

If your healing requires, as is often the case, a time of recovery then I suggest again that you use that time to strengthen your ability to maintain a positive mental attitude and to conquer your fears, and ultimately let go of any negative influence from your past by forgiving yourself.

You may need to use your recovery time to re-evaluate your life and consider mistakes you have made and what you need to do differently.

You may recall from the biblical stories of Jesus’s healings that very often forgiveness played a crucial role.  Jesus made the statement “your sins are forgiven.”  Forgiveness is always available once you have the understanding and insight that you have made a mistake. Forgiveness is available to empower the transformation process.

Although Divine forgiveness is assured, in my many years of coaching and counseling I have found that although most people can accept the concept of forgiveness coming from a God of Love and Grace, they often have a hard time forgiving themselves.  Forgiving yourself is often a key element in healing.  Once you have understood the lesson of a dis-ease and modified your thinking or behavior, it becomes essential to stop clinging to the self-recrimination and blame.

It becomes important to put the past in the past where it belongs and let yourself move forward into the present where the great release is available to you.  Forgive yourself and then open your life to the unlimited possibilities of a future that is only now being created and coming into manifestation.

There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
       – Eckhart Tolle

Self-forgiveness is the final step in the process of healing.

Over my many years of helping people through healing crisis’s, be they from injury or illness, I have found the following things to be important steps in the healing process.  To facilitate and help with these important steps, I have created guided meditations to help you and your loved ones.

For positive mental attitude,
consider the use of positive affirmations:

         Awaken to Success Affirmations

         Soaring to Success Affirmations

For transcending, transforming and
transmuting negative emotions and fears:

         I Am Feeling Free Meditation

For forgiving yourself and
freeing yourself from the past:

         How to Forgive Yourself Meditation

And to help you experience
the healing blessing of sleep:

         Sleep in Heavenly Peace Meditation

I hope you are drawn to using these guided meditations and visualizations and that their use enhances and empowers your healing and your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

A Mindful Breath

A Mindful Breath

Read "A Mindful Breath" by Genevieve Gerard

Breath has long been used by those who teach meditation as a portal into consciousness.

Breath integrates your mind-body relationship by helping you to release stress and calm your mind while working with your natural physiology to relax.

To use your breath mindfully and consciously can be a powerful way to empower your life.

Every breath we take, every step we make can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity.
              Thich Nhat Hanh

Today, I will lead you through the technique of mindful breathing. As you sit, you can use this technique as a little consciousness shift in the midst of your day.

You can use this mindful breathing exercise as often as you like, and do it as often as you need. The awareness and stress release it brings will be effective almost immediately.

This technique only involves breathing, which certainly you do all of the time. However, I take this technique one step further to increase your consciousness and your awareness by breathing mindfully.

I suggest that to experience a mindful breath most effectively that you, as much as you are able, set aside 5 minutes or so without distractions or interruptions. If possible mute your phone. If you can, close your door and ask your co-workers or family to give you a few undisturbed minutes.

Let yourself calm your mind and open your heart as you do this simple mindful breath meditation.

To quiet the mind of meaningless chatter, to calm the emotions to peaceful repose and then to receive the Transcendent Love of the Soul is the joy of meditation that is available anytime, anywhere you are, once you learn how to meditate daily.
              – Genevieve Gerard

A Mindful Breath Meditation

To begin, sit up straight, with your spine vertically aligned.

Along your spine, about 2-3 inches behind your physical spine, are energy centers that are called chakras. As you align your physical spine imagine that all of your energy is also aligned.

You might be aware of the sense of being in alignment that results from aligning your spine.

Place your feet on the floor. This helps you relax. It also helps you ground your energy and be mindful of the connection to the flow of the earth’s energy.

Consciously and with intention, let your energy gently come to center in your heart.

Take a deeply relaxing and centering breath and as you do so consciously enter into this present moment. Let the past go into the past where it truly is. Bring your awareness into the NOW. You are right here, right now. It is right now, right here.

Begin, by inhaling another really deep breath, bringing the air in through your nose. Relax your diaphragm and let the mindful breath begin energetically at your solar plexus chakra.

Then, bring the air into your chest and as you do this consciously open the energy of your heart to expand and open.

Then bring the breath into your lungs, all the way to the top of your lungs, letting your lungs expand and letting your whole being expand. Bring the breath in; filling your lungs as fully as you are able, bringing the air into the upper lung until it is just below your shoulders.

When you have filled your lungs as fully as you are able, release the breath through your mouth until you have released all of the air.

This is a relaxing breath. You might already be mindful of how much more relaxed and at peace you feel, having fully experienced a full breath.

With the release of the breath, you can also release any tension or anxiety you may have been holding.

Let your breathing return to normal.

As you breathe normally, be mindful that you are the one breathing in and you are the one breathing out.

Be aware that your body has the wisdom to take in with every breath exactly what you need and to let go of what no longer serves you.

Before you take another deep and relaxing breath, come consciously into the present. Again, consciously put the past behind you and relax. As you pause, appreciate the magnificent power and unlimited potential that is available to you, right here and right now.

When you affirm that the past is truly now behind you, realize that it has no further power over you, or influence over you, except what you choose to give it.

What will be the future is just beginning to be created, as you let yourself relax and reside in the peace and the presence of the eternal NOW.

It is in the eternal NOW that your Higher Self resides. This moment, this peace, this presence is available to you. It responds to your invocation and invitation.

When you are ready, begin to draw in another deep relaxing and healing breath, in through your nose starting at your diaphragm, through your solar plexus. Let the breath clear away any tension or stress you are holding there. As you bring the breath into your chest to your heart chakra, let your heart fill with love as you open your heart to receive love in and give love out.

Then bring the breath to the top of your lungs, drawing in as much air as you can hold.

Then as you release this breath, through your mouth, it may form a sound like a sigh as you let go of any stress or concerns and let yourself relax, releasing with the breath any tension or anxiety you may have been holding, letting it completely drift away.

Observe and be mindful of what you are feeling and experiencing.

Observe that you are the one breathing in and breathing out. You are the one who is experiencing the whole cycle of your breath. Know that you can choose to breathe with control or naturally.

Now, breathe naturally not attempting to control your breath, allowing your breath to direct how much you bring in and how much you let go of that you no longer need. You might notice a calm and peace filling you at this time. You might be aware that you are more present and aware.

Remember, having consciously released the past you have opened to the profound peace and potential of the eternal now. You are now open to the possibility of creating a new future that incorporates more of your purpose in life and fulfills your heart’s desire.

While taking one more really deep relaxing and filling breath with intention, invoke and invite the Presence of your Higher Self.

Imagine a golden Light coming from your Higher Self, infusing the air you are breathing in deeply.

Let this Light circulate through your whole being with your breath through your solar plexus. Let it calm you, releasing your fears and frustrations with its healing Light.

As the breath circulates from your lungs to your heart and from your heart throughout every atom of your body, the healing light balances you, restores and refreshes you.

As it moves from your lungs to your heart and throughout your whole physical body and energy body, accept the healing power and the profound love into your conscious awareness, into your heart and mind.

As you exhale, breathe out and release any negative thoughts or fears.

With each exhale, release any limiting beliefs that keep you from expressing the magnificent and full being that you truly are.

Now sit in silence and receptivity. Use this interlude to listen for the still prompting of your Higher Self.

In this pause you can offer up any issue or concern on which you would like greater insight or understanding from the guidance of your Higher Self.

Let your breathing return to natural. Bring your attention and awareness back to your physical body.

Observe the background sounds that surround you. Become aware of the smells, the quality of the light, and observe how you feel. Let your mind return to this present moment.

You might notice how much more relaxed and centered you feel. You might feel more empowered and aligned in your being.

To finish up, give gratitude to your Higher Self for any insights and clarity you may have received in this mindful breath meditation.

 

               – GG

 

I invite and encourage you to practice this mindful breathing meditation often and let your body and mind relax and your heart be comforted.

Namaste,

  Genevieve

Ways To Heal Yourself

Ways to Heal Yourself

Read Ways to Heal Yourself article by Genevieve Gerard

This is another article in my on-going series on Healing.

Healing happens on many levels of your being.

As you consider your life and all that has preceded this moment of time, I invite you to explore ways you can heal your life.

As long as there is life, self-healing is always possible. Healing is the highest manifestation of life itself.

To consider how you can heal yourself, you must contemplate how healing happens not only in your body but also in your emotions and your mind.

This threefold aspect of healing is ultimately under the guidance and direction of a higher source, your Soul. Therefore, it is through your connection with your Soul, that you can heal from any situation.

I know this is a bold statement, but I make it based on many years as a counselor helping others through the darkness into the light of new possibilities.

It is a deep truth that as long as there is life, there is hope.
      – Genevieve Gerard

No matter what has happened to you in your life, you can heal.

Sometimes the darkness in your life is physical, such as a catastrophic injury. Sometimes it is emotional devastation, based on things you have seen or experienced. Sometimes it is the memories that the mind continues to replay that bring events from the past into the present. Sometimes it is dreams that haunt you.

No matter what has occurred in your life, there are a variety of techniques that were taught to me in the mysteries of the Ageless Wisdom that you can learn to use to transform, transmute and transcend what has happened in your life. This will enable you to open to the possibilities of a future which has not yet formed, which is in a process of being created and coming into active manifestation.

Steps You Can Take To Heal Yourself

Learn to Meditate

Meditation can play a vital role in helping you to heal.

In the last five years there have been volumes written in the medical journals, which have finally talked about the positive effects that meditation can play in your healing.

Meditation can help us embrace our worries, our fear, our anger; and that is very healing. We let our own natural capacity of healing do the work.
      – Thich Nhat Hanh

It is through meditation that you can find a portal to your Soul, which is such a powerful and dynamic part of your essence that it can facilitate your healing. Ultimately, the Souls energy provides healing at the highest level.

Fortunately, your Soul is an integral part of you, a part of you that stands ready, willing and able to help you gain mastery of your body-mind and emotions. Opening to this Presence is the first step of joining with your Soul.

This opening can be as simple as to sit quietly as you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light.

There are many guided meditations available that can provide you with self-healing techniques. It is not as important which products you use, as much as it is that you meditate.

Live In the Moment

An essential part of healing is bringing your awareness and consciousness into the present moment.

That is why an important step in healing your life is to let the past be passed. This may not always be easy to do; however, careful consideration will reveal that the past truly is passed and no good is served by living in your rearview mirror.

Understanding that living in the NOW is the truth that will set you free of the past is a powerful release. It is something that can support and help to integrate your healing. It is a reality that you can use to transform your life.

When you make that step in your consciousness, you are making an important step in allowing healing.

Reduce Negative Self Talk

Another important step forward in your healing is to release yourself from the all too damaging dynamic of reliving the past. Replaying past events in your mind only invites the event into the present and brings out your inner critic.

No good is served by reviewing, rewinding and reliving what happened. It is now in the past. You are free from it if you will let yourself be free. I invite and encourage you to do so.

Forgive Yourself and Others

To forgive yourself is an important step in healing. To forgive yourself opens you to a future that is still unformed and uncreated. In that future, you can be a force for great good in the world. In that future, you will be presented with choices. What you choose will ultimately be a greater determination of the value of your life than anything will that has proceeded this moment of forgiveness.

No matter what may have happened in your past you can heal. Whatever sorrows you may have suffered make your ability to be compassionate have a greater depth and breadth than those who have never known loss and sorrow.

This may not seem possible but since your Soul is by its very existence a part of the Divine it is composed of love and grace. Forgiveness is entirely possible at the Soul level, even though your personality might consider individual acts unforgivable. It is your Soul that does the healing.

In the words of the old spiritual, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.” Therefore, to ask for forgiveness is one of the steps in your healing and when you ask, do it by the full faith and confidence that nothing is unforgivable no matter how it might seem.

However, even more important is to accept grace and forgiveness. The nature of grace is that it has absolutely nothing to do with deserving it or being worthy. This grace is a part of divinity that may be beyond our human comprehension.

It is my experience that to allow the blessing of healing and forgiveness in your life, you must truly forgive yourself. This is not always easy, however; I know it is always possible. It is in this task that the healing power of your Soul can have the most power. Realizing that the past is passed helps. This is a simple fact that cannot be denied. Let yourself have the relief and release that this deep understanding about life gives.


Check out How To Forgive Yourself: Let Go Of The Past and Release Your Pain and Sorrow guided meditation by Genevieve Gerard

 

To assist in your process of forgiving yourself, let me walk you through a guided meditation on How to Forgive Yourself: Release and Let Go Of The Past, Forgive Yourself, Heal and Move On From Painful Events.

 


Forgiveness is powerful and profound. It may even have multiple layers to it. Each knot that is unraveled and released by forgiveness is freeing. It may involve forgiving others you know. It may mean forgiving yourself and others that you don’t even know personally but may have been involved. No matter how many layers there are, ultimately it is possible.

Now is the time to start unraveling the knots and layers that may have you bound to the past. You can do it!

The Soul’s Role

There is a Mantra called the Mantram of Unification that I love. In it are the words that for me have always spoken to how important your Soul integration is, “Let the Soul control the outer form, and life and all events, and bring to Light the Love that underlies the happenings of the times.”

No matter what you may have feared. No matter what experiences you have lived through, your Soul has been with you through it. Whatever turmoil, no matter how terrible or tortured it may have been; there is nothing you have ever done or can ever do that will separate you from your Soul.

Whatever damage you may have suffered as a body, emotionally, in your mind or personality, your Soul, which is your spark of Divine Essence, cannot be harmed. It is always with you and can always be called upon to help you heal your life.

No matter how much you may have rejected or avoided its presence in your life it is ready willing and able to assist with your healing. It awaits your invitation to demonstrate its healing power.

The nature of your Soul is eternal. The essence of your Soul is Love.

Use Your Soul to Heal Your Life

There is a purpose to your life. There is a reason you are still here and alive. Therefore, it is to your Soul that I direct your attention. You can invite it, invoke it and use it to heal your life.

Because free will is a universal law, invitation to your Soul and invocation are necessary steps in opening your consciousness to the Presence of your Soul. Because your Soul is integral to your healing, consciously doing the steps (previously mentioned) to bring you greater awareness of your Soul (as a dynamic and powerful force in your life) is important.

Healing your life will allow you to fulfill your life purpose, which may bring about great good in the world. This is the unlimited possibility and potential that comes with your unformed, and yet, uncreated future.

When the past is relegated to the past, you are taking a progressive step forward. You can change your life. The more you release your anger, the more you forgive, the more you bring in the Light of your Soul to guide your next steps, the more you open yourself to enjoy the new possibilities and unlimited potential that are now unfolding and emerging for your life.

This ongoing and constant renewal of life give the promise of a future that is different from whatever may have happened before. Change is always possible. Healing is always possible. This freedom is inherent in life. It may not be easy, but it is always possible.

Open your life to the healing power and the transforming energy of your Soul. Heal your life of the residuals of past traumas to bring you to the new day that is available for you.

As the expression of folk wisdom affirms, “Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

Choose to embrace the possibility and promise of the rest of your life by inviting and accepting healing into your life.

Namaste,

   Genevieve

Ways To Change Your Life

Ways to Change Your Life

and Experience Transformation

Read "Ways to Change Your Life" blog post by Genevieve Gerard

 

Many tools are available to change your life and increase your joy.

By your conscious decisions with your awareness and intention, you can have a dramatic impact on the joy you experience in your life.

 

Today I give you my list of actions you can take on your own to change and transform your life and have better relationships, greater joy and happiness.

1.   Love Someone Unconditionally

 

The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance. – Brian Tracy

When you transcend your own needs sufficiently to love someone without expectations or conditions you are opening your heart to a bond that can comfort and sustain you all the days of your life. To truly honor, cherish and treasure another without criticism or judgment is a way of loving that supports the good and the growth of the beloved. This is a powerful gift that is a transformative touch of the Divine.

2.   Forgive Yourself

 

Forgive yourself for your faults and your mistakes and move on.
– Les Brown

When you forgive yourself you are freeing yourself from the pain and bondage of the past, and are opening your life to the unlimited possibilities that all you have ever desired can manifest for you. You no longer need to bear the shame of past mistakes. You are now free to live your life in a way that is new and different from what has been to express your full power.

3.   Forgive Someone

 

When you forgive, you in no way change the past – but you sure do change the future. – Bernard Meltzer

When you forgive another, even of what may seem unforgivable you are creating a grace that frees you from past hurts as you enter into the NOW, no longer bound by what used to be. You are, by your forgiveness releasing both you and the other from the limitations of the past. Forgiveness changes everything. When you forgive you are enfolded in joyful grace and compassion. The one you have forgiven is now freed to become what they are meant to be.

4.   Express Gratitude

 

Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
– Brian Tracy

Your expression of gratitude and appreciation opens a portal for abundance and blessing to flow freely to you from Source. It magnetically draws to you what you need to receive more of what you desire and what you need to manifest your Higher Purpose in Life.

5.   Align with Your Higher Self

 

When you connect with your Soul, also known as your Higher Self, you become aware of a part of yourself that is so glorious and magnificent that experience is often transformational and profound.
– Genevieve Gerard

By consciously aligning with and inviting your Soul presence into your life you are opening your mind to the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self. When you call upon Your Soul to guide you and listen in the silence to its promptings and guidance you are opening your life to living in a co-creator relationship with God.

6.   Practice Harmlessness

 

Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
– Hippocrates

As you move through the events and circumstances of your life this week consider your words before you speak and the potential impact they may have on others in light of the principle of Harmlessness. Thinking of the impact of your words and actions on others transforms your relationship into stronger, healthier and more mutually supportive and loving bonds.

7.   Give Generously of the Gifts You Have Received

 

True generosity is an offering; given freely and out of pure love. No strings attached. No expectations. Time and love are the most valuable possession you can share. – Suze Orman

When you give to others freely and without fear, you open a portal of abundance and blessing into your life. An important part of abundance is the multiplication factor of giving and sharing. Each time you freely share and freely give you are demonstrating your faith in the future and reinforcing the powerful thought form that you have enough and you are enough for whatever the future brings.

8.   Surrender Your Personal Will to Divine Will

 

Whatever I will become will be what God has chosen for me.
– Elvis Presley

When you surrender your personal Will to Divine Will your life is guided by a sense of purpose and joy that is sustained. By this mighty marriage of doing all that you can do with the alignment of your physical acts of doing, with action, your emotions freed from fear and your mind with clear intention, surrendering an affirming that God’s Will and God’s wisdom are greater than what we can see and know from our human perspective you are imbuing and empowering your life with a Higher Purpose as revealed from your Source of Higher Power.

9.   Release Your Fears

 

Fear keeps us focused on the past or worried about the future. If we can acknowledge our fear, we can realize that right now we are okay. Right now, today, we are still alive, and our bodies are working marvelously. Our eyes can still see the beautiful sky. Our ears can still hear the voices of our loved ones. – Thich Nhat Hanh

When you release your fears, you take your place as a co-creator with Source in your life manifesting what you need spontaneously. Your mind is the most powerful creative force on earth. When you release your fears, you stop creating what you don’t want and you are empowered to create the life you are meant to live. Each time you release a fear and replace the negative thought with a positive thought from your mind, and align with your Soul and life purpose, you are gaining power to manifest the success an abundance that you envision and desire.

10.   Love Yourself

 

I have an everyday religion that works for me. Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line. – Lucille Ball

When you love yourself, you are affirming the truth that you are a beloved child of God and will be nurtured and provided for with love. When you accept and love yourself, you are aligning to empower your life with the guidance and wisdom of yourself to help you be and become all that you are meant to be.

When you bring your body, your heart and your mind into unity and relationship with your Soul, the universe expands to incorporate a vision that is timelessly and endlessly sustained by love.

By opening yourself to the love of your Soul you realize a state of oneness and unity that transcends the material world so that you may fly on the wings endless bliss, peace and joy beyond time or space.

When you are aligned with the power and the purpose of your Soul, magic, and miracles manifest. You are able to use the fullness of your being in the joyous expression of your human adventure as a Divine child of God here on earth.

If you open your heart and your mind and your Soul to each of these thoughts and intentions each morning of the day as a part of your spiritual practice, you are tuning up your life to use the gifts you have received to have a happier and more fulfilling life.

By focusing on your intention to manifest these qualities in your life this week, you will find more joy, more peace, and more prosperity in your life by this time next week.

I wish you the best as you open up to ways to change your life and experience transformation.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!
