I Want To Be My Whole Self

This article is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awakening.

When your lower-self (your personality [body, emotions, and mind]) merges with your higher-self (your Soul which is the essential part of you into which your Divine Spark is embedded) you become empowered by your whole-self.

In your natural life journey, there is a development process that goes on throughout your life between your lower-self (personality) and your higher-self (Soul.)

This developmental process occurs naturally but for you may be unconscious. When you invite the integrative process of your Soul to merge with your personality, you bring into your consciousness a greater awareness and empowerment of your life’s purpose.

Most likely, inviting your Soul to be an active player in your life is not something you learned to do in Sunday School. After countless hours in churches and listening to countless hours of homilies and sermons I can say the Soul is rarely mentioned. Even the Bible does not specifically teach you how to activate and engage with your Soul.

Although throughout your life, your Soul may have opened to you its presence, your conscious awareness of your Soul may have well been hit or miss. You may have felt your Soul most present in times of heart-wrenching sorrow when a loved one has died. And, that pain and compassion may have driven you to your knees and opened your mind and heart to the Presence of your Soul, although it’s doubtful that you were consciously aware that your Soul was the comforter.

I believe your Soul may have given you insight through your intuition that may have saved you or a friend from harm’s way.

I believe that your Soul is willing to step in at times of crisis as an act of Love or Grace, but to really provide the power and majesty of which it is capable it requires a relationship.

Most likely you have been raised from infancy to focus on your five material senses as the way you experience the world. Any insights you may have experienced beyond the reality of those physical senses is usually discouraged by parents, adults and those who are not seeing or feeling what you might be experiencing. This limitation is factual across most cultures and is especially true in the Western world.

This emphasis on the physical and material world has led to a long span of evolution that denies awareness of the spiritual realm. This tendency has limited the education and knowledge of the Soul to mystics such as Hafiz, King David (in the Psalms) or Osho. Without this spiritual education, you are left with a part of you that is missing.

You may have unconsciously longed for contact from and connection with your Soul, while steadfastly ignoring or denying the reality of anything spiritual. You may have turned to religion to find out about your Soul, but religion, unfortunately, is currently usually not the source for learning how to develop a relationship with your Soul.

All religions are true, but none are literal.
– Joseph Campbell

The core belief of these spiritual writings of King David, Hafiz, Osho, and other spiritual writers you might cherish is that within every human heart is the longing for connection and relationship with your Soul.

No matter which religions or religious beliefs each of these inspired writers serve, their words call to you because the Soul, your Soul, is calling to be part of you through their wise words.

How To Be Whole

If you listen to the yearning of your heart, you will find a longing to love and be loved. Your Soul is the portal of Divine Love. When you bring your Soul into active relationship with your personality, body, emotions, and mind, you start a process of integration that brings joy and wisdom to your life. This Soul integration with your personality makes you whole.

Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes.
– Paramahansa Yogananda

The Soul is universal and beyond any dogma or religion. Connecting with your Soul, and engaging in the process of merging your Soul with your lower-self “personality” is also beyond any dogma or doctrine. It is universal and the next step in the spiritual journey of humanity.

Almost everybody agrees that you have a Soul. When touched, that awareness opens you to the true nature of the Divine and the unifying principle of Love that transcends religious bigotry or dogma disagreements.

When you consciously open your life to increased Soul awareness and Soul control, you are engaging in what I have referred to as Soul/Personality merging. Something I have called “The Greatest Merger and Acquisition Project Ever.” This is when you can live a full life that is Soul infused.

Advantages of Connecting With Your Soul

Connecting with your Soul connects you with your internal source for Divine Wisdom and Divine Guidance. Your Soul is the teacher that always knows and understands what you need at every phase and step of your life. Your Soul as your teacher and guide aligns you with the Divine, however, you understand the Divine to be.

PHYSICALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your physical body facilitates healing on many levels. For some, it is resolution and relief of pain. It can also manifest as a sense of deep and profound relaxation. When aligned with your Soul, it might be that you realize that your breath is more accessible, more profound and each breath you breathe is more fulfilling.

EMOTIONALLY

To bring your Soul Light into your emotional body frees you to forgive, let go of deep and troubling resentments. It fills you with a profound peace and calm that releases closely held negative emotions, such as fear and anger. As your emotional body fills with Soul Light, there is also an activation of Love, deep in your heart. That Love brings you awareness of unconditional love and Divine Love.

MENTALLY

Inviting your Soul Light into your mind opens you to insight and ignites your intuition. It also activates more creative thinking and has a dynamic impact on problem-solving in your life.

It is because of all of these powerful advantages that with every guided meditation that I create I invite you into the meditative state by asking you to “Calm Your Mind,” “Open Your Heart,” and “Invite the Light of your Soul.”

Your “personality” is the integrator of those three significant energies of the human experience. When you consciously and with an intention (supported by meditation) affirm these embedded suggestions you are taking a significant step forward in your human evolution experience.

You are embarking on an adventure to become a new kind of human being, a human being who is aware of and in touch with their Divine Spark and their co-creatorship with God. When your lower-self merges with your higher-self you become empowered by your whole-self.

This awareness begins a quest not only to live life but live it more fully. The adventures on this quest may bring you in touch with much that is unknown to you as you start down this path. That is true of any great quest or adventure. There is much your Soul knows and wishes to teach you about your true nature that is beyond the current knowledge of humans at this time.

Merging your personality with your Soul opens your life to new possibilities. It is a magnificent adventure upon which humanity is only now embarking. You can be the explorer of this merged awareness.

I invite you to join me in this exploration into the full power of what it means to be a human being, a being that is a part animal man but is also a creative living evolving spark of the Divine. I invite you to Be and Become All You Are Meant to Be.

I invite you to experience the Touch of Your Soul!

Namaste,

Genevieve

You Need to Know What Happens When You Let Your Soul Be In Control

Genevieve Gerard

You Need to Know What Happens When You
Let Your Soul Be In Control

This article is a continuation of my ongoing series on Soul Awakening.

Many of the solutions to life’s challenges are simple. That does not make them easy.

Free Will is an essential part of the human experience.

I believe the personality, the “lower self,” must make the conscious choice to surrender to Divine Will, the “higher self” or Soul. Without that conscious choice, the choice to choose Love, the choice to put your Soul in control cannot give you the full power of your Soul.

It is with your decision to bring your Soul into a conscious partnership that you are empowered to work with the Angels and activate spirit to elevate the world of matter, that real enlightenment can happen.

By the very word, enlightenment requires bringing Light into the substance of matter. This is the destiny of humanity.

The merging of your Soul, with your completely human body, emotions, personality, and mind is what I have called the “Greatest Merger and Acquisition” ever.

It was to fulfill this blending of spirit and matter, light and dark; personal will surrendered to Divine Will that the Creator designed the human adventure. Something magical and mystical happens when Love (the nature of your Soul) is infused into matter (the substance of the world.)

It was to bring Divine Love into manifestation into the world of matter that the struggle of life exists.

Matter, by its very nature, is devoid of Love. Only through humanity learning to Love and surrendering to Divine Love can in this dual consciousness of Soul and Personality can the denseness of matter be infused by Love, can the denseness of matter be inspired by Soul Light.

This is the fuel of miracles and the purpose of life. Not just to learn how to Love, but to let Love so thoroughly into your life that the very atomic matter of your being, your heart, merges with your mind into your Soul, whose nature is Love. Ponder on this.

Learning To Love

Your human adventure offers you the opportunity to learn and grow until Love is clearly the answer. Surrendering to Love is your path to joy. When surrendering to Love becomes your personal Free Will you automatically align with Divine Will.

Today, I invite you to choose Divine Love. By making that choice, you have activated your free will on a path that aligns you with the teachings and wisdom of your Soul. When you choose Divine Love, you are allowing your personality access to transforming power.

When you choose Divine Love, you become an agent of Divine Will here on planet earth.

I understand, although simple, it is far from easy to surrender to Divine Love and Divine Will. But don’t worry, the resistance you have to this kind of surrender is what makes you human.

Each and every time you are able to remain open to Divine Love and aligned with and surrendered to Divine Will you are taking a giant step forward in human evolution.

The fact that you are reading this article today speaks volumes to your openness to making a difference in your life.

The longing you have to be able to remain in a state of Love and aligned with Divine Will speaks to the presence of your Soul. The nature of your Soul is Love. It is with Love you can open to the wonder and wisdom of your Soul.

This walk in life with a human body, buffeted with needs and desires is a new kind of human being, a new kind of consciousness that is just emerging in the human experience. To let your Soul be in control, while still walking in the world of sorrows is a whole new kind of experience in human life.

When you walk through life as the powerful and amazing being that you indeed are, you are thinning the veil between heaven and earth. You are demonstrating the consciousness of Love.

Meditation is a portal to the awareness of your Soul.

Bringing Your Soul Into Control

The integration of your Soul with your personality is the result of lifetimes of lessons of love and karma. The release of personal will to Divine Will is a lesson learned long ago by the Angels.

Coming from a Soul perspective shifts awareness of the illusions, glamor’s and desires of the world of matter to bring an understanding of what is true and real.

Each and every time you put your Soul in control you are fulfilling your destiny as the spark of Divine Light that you were created to be.

When you put your Soul in control, you automatically align with Love. You activate your co-creator potential that came from the Creator with the breath of life.

Your whole perspective changes when you are integrating your Soul with your personality. Harmlessness becomes effortless.

Kindness and compassion flow from your heart as you are moved by the sorrow and suffering of others. You are aware of a unity of Spirit that makes clear your Oneness with all of Life.

Humanities next significant step forward is to master this dual perspective, this dual consciousness, and then bring it into the world.

To merge with your Soul, to restrain any selfishness you may be tempted by, is a significant step forward in the consciousness of humanity. It is the evolution of a new kind of human being. One who is in relationship and communion with the Divine.

Imagine, for a moment if you will, just how this world would be different if your Soul were in control. Imagine if government and society were to follow the Law of Divine Love. Imagine if the guidelines for the laws were crafted and passed with the principle of the Highest Good For All.

That would undoubtedly usher in a “Heaven on Earth.” That would fulfill the prophecies of old of Peace on Earth, a time when the Lion could lie down with the Lamb. These predictions and dreams have fueled all world religions because they are the plan in the mind of the Creator that humanity was created to fulfill.

It takes only a moment of both self-awareness and life awareness to see how far humanity is from manifesting that vision that has been foretold. Yet, it is by learning to Love, by bringing your Soul into control and by merging your personal will into Divine Will that the best chance for humanity manifests.

To help you on this path I have created an affirmation that you can say as often as you like.

Love & Light Are My Lanterns Affirmation

Today, I call upon my Guardian Angels, my Spiritual Inner Plane Guides, to provide help and assistance in my life that I may fulfill my life destiny and purpose to manifest God’s Will for my highest good and the highest good of all.

I surrender to and invoke the wisdom of my Soul as I place my Soul in control.

I do this to learn the lessons of Divine Love and to teach others the transforming empowerment of love and light.

As I sacrifice my little will and align my life and purpose with Divine Will, I assert and affirm that: “Purpose Itself Am I.”

To manifest this awareness in my physical reality, it is necessary to allow: “Two Minds to Unite.”

And to let “The Highest Light Control.”

To do this, I must “See the Greatest Light.”

This blending of my Soul with my lower self occurs as a simultaneous act of invocation and evocation. In so doing I open my life to the fulfillment and furtherance of a plan that is held in the mind of God.

I acknowledge that the Saints, the Hierarchy and those who have served humanity to bring about the manifestation of this Divine Plan will guide and direct me as I put aside my personal lower will.

As I remain aligned and open to Divine Will, I realize that my joy, my bliss, and my fulfillment are found in that merger.

Each and every time that I am able to restrain my personal needs and desires, I am learning to Love, and I am strengthened and supported by resources more amazing and vast than I can imagine.

Love & Light are my lanterns. Through Divine Love, I can align in full faith and confidence knowing that Divine Will has the Divine Wisdom of a purpose and plan that is beyond what I can see from the vision of my individuated lower self. As I merge with that Divine Will and Wisdom, I relax and release all of the needs that have burdened my life.

Through my open connection to my Soul, the heavenly hosts are available to provide the healing that those I encounter in my life so desperately need.

Through my merger with Divine Will for the Highest Good of All, I am assured that I will do no harm through the unintended consequences of my personal ego or desire nature.

I walk this path of dual consciousness and awareness with vigilance, and thus I stand. I am a point of light within a greater light, and thus I stand. I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of cosmic love, and thus I stand. And standing thus enlightens the way for others.

– Genevieve Gerard

Your Soul grows ever more in control until the Soul, in power can bring to Light the Love that underlies the happening of the times. That is the destiny and fulfillment of humanity. That is the great adventure you can use your life to manifest for the world.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Experience Soul Personality Integration

This article is a continuation of my ongoing series on Soul Consciousness, blended with my ongoing series on Love, and the Angels.

This blending of my Soul with the Angels occurs as a simultaneous act of invocation and evocation. In so doing I open my life to the fulfillment and furtherance of a great plan that is held in the mind of God. You can do the same by reading this next affirmational section aloud.

SOUL INTEGRATION AFFIRMATION

I acknowledge that the Saints, the Hierarchy and those who have served humanity to bring about the manifestation of this Divine Plan, guide and direct me as I put aside my personal will.

As I remain aligned and surrender to Divine Will, I realize that my joy, my bliss, and my fulfillment are found in that surrender.

Each and every time that I can harness even the smallest glimpse of Divine Will, I learn to Love, and I am continuously strengthened and supported by whatever resources I need.

Today, I call upon my Spiritual Inner Plane Guides, my Angels, and the Christ, to provide help and assistance in my life that I may fulfill my life destiny and purpose to manifest God’s Will for my Highest Good and the Highest Good of All.

I surrender to and invoke the wisdom of my Soul as I place my Soul in control. I do this to learn the lessons of Love and to teach others the transforming empowerment of Love.

As I sacrifice my little will and align my life and purpose with Divine Will, I assert and affirm that: “Purpose Itself Am I.”

To manifest this awareness in my physical reality: “Two Minds Unite.”

The Light of the Soul Descends — Soul Light Descending

And to let “The Highest Light Control.”

To do this, I must “See the Greatest Light.”

As this Soul Light descends, it permeates my entire body as I ponder these words of power.

Love is my lantern! Through Love, I can align in full faith and confidence knowing that Divine Will and Wisdom has a purpose and plan that is beyond what I can see from the vision of my individuated self. As I surrender to that Divine Will and Wisdom, I can relax and release all of the mundane needs that have burdened my life.

Through my open connection to my Soul, the Heavenly Hosts are available to provide the healing that those I encounter in my life so desperately need. Through my surrender to Divine Will for the Highest Good of All, I am assured that I will do no harm through the unintended consequences of my personal ego or desire nature.

To walk this path of dual consciousness and awareness requires vigilance.

This walk in life with a human body, buffeted with needs and desires is a new kind of human being, a new kind of Soul consciousness that is just emerging in the human experience. To let your Soul be in control, while still walking in the world of sorrows is a whole new kind of experience in human life.

The human personality, id, and ego sometimes are not easily surrendered to Divine Will. Human glamor’s and illusions spill forth despite best efforts to remain aware of the promptings of your Soul and the guidance that Love provides.

This journey requires Love, and Love changes everything.

Each and every time you can remain open to Divine Love and aligned with and surrendered to Divine Will, you are taking a giant step forward in human evolution.

Each and every time you put your Soul in control you are fulfilling your destiny as the spark of Divine Light that you were created to be.

When you put your Soul in control, you automatically align with Love. You activate your co-creator potential that came from the Creator with the Breath of Life.

When you walk through life as the powerful and amazing being that you truly are, you are thinning the veil between heaven and earth.

You are demonstrating the consciousness of Love. The Angels come to you to support and comfort you.

Your whole perspective changes when you are integrating your Soul with your personality. Harmlessness becomes effortless.

Kindness and compassion flow from your heart as you are moved by the sorrow and suffering of others. You are aware of a unity of Spirit that makes clear your Oneness with all of Life.

SOUL-PERSONALITY INTEGRATION

The resistance you have to surrender and integrate your personality with your Soul is what makes you human. Although simple, it is far from easy to surrender to Divine Love and Divine Will.

The longing you have to be able to remain in a state of Love and aligned with Divine Will speaks to the Presence of your Soul. The nature of your Soul is Love. It is with Love you can open to the wonder and wisdom of your Soul. Ponder on this.

Let my soul smile through my heart
and my heart smile through my eyes.
– Paramahansa Yogananda

The integration of your Soul with your personality is the result of lifetimes of lessons of love and karma. The surrender of personal Will to Divine Will is a lesson learned long ago on the angelic realm and much easier when the illusions, glamor’s, and desires of the world of matter are not factors.

Humanities next significant step forward is to master this dual perspective, this dual consciousness, and then bring it into the world. This is an important step forward in the consciousness of humanity. Is is the evolution of a new kind of human being. One who is in relationship and communion with the Divine.

The merging of your Soul, with your completely human body, emotions, personality, and mind is what I have called the “Greatest Merger and Acquisition” ever.

Matter, by its very nature, is devoid of Love. Only through humanity learning to Love and surrendering to Love can this dual consciousness of Soul and Personality through the denseness of matter be infused by Love, and the denseness of matter be inspired by Light.

This is the fuel of miracles and the purpose of life. Not just to learn how to Love, but to let Love so fully into your life that the very atomic matter of your being, your heart, lets your mind merge with your Soul, whose nature is Love.

Your human adventure offers you the opportunity to learn and grow until Love is clearly the answer. Surrendering to Love is your path to joy. When surrendering to Love becomes your personal Free Will you automatically align with Divine Will.

When you choose Love,
you are allowing your personality access to
the transforming power of your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

Today, I invite you to choose Love and reach for your Soul Consciousness. By making that choice, you have activated your Free Will on a path that brings you into alignment with the teachings and wisdom of your Soul.

When you choose Love, you become an agent of Divine Will here on planet Earth. Each time you choose to give Love, you are winning a victory. Each time you win, access to your Soul consciousness becomes cumulatively easier. Your Soul becomes ever more in control until the Soul, in control, can bring to Light the Love that underlies the happening of the times. Soul personality integration is the destiny and fulfillment of humanity.

Namaste,

Dare To Be Of Service

Genevieve Gerard

Dare To Be of Service To The World

To dare to be the amazing being that you are, aware of all that you were created to be takes courage.

You are a spark of Divine Light created in the image of a God of Love. This is amazing. This gives you unlimited possibilities.

The power of standing forth as a being of dynamic grace is often misunderstood.

Standing in your Spiritual Light and your Spiritual power is a blessing to the world.

The world may fail to appreciate or understand the radiance that is you. This is a burden that has long been shared by those who have strived to demonstrate God’s Love and God’s grace through their lives. The challenge to be true to yourself and true to your purpose in life is an awesome spiritual journey. It may not be the easy path but it leads to fulfillment and great joy.

To be true to yourself, true to your purpose in life may sometimes be a lonely path. As a beacon of Light, you stand out in the world. As one who loves and serves others, you may at times feel vulnerable and different. You may be misunderstood. People may take advantage of your kindness. You may be called upon to forgive much that seems unforgivable. This has been true for those who have come before you and will most likely be true for those who are guided by your life. The path of service may not be an easy path.

At times, you may feel alone. It may help you to know that you are not alone. Thankfully, there are across the world, others who have opened to their Divine Light and Divine nature. When you join the Light of your Soul with theirs and join your service with them, you can become a dynamic force for good and change in the world. Know that joining with others empowers you. Your Light and your purpose are magnified.

It only takes a moment of looking around for you to see the need for Love to redeem the world and for Soul Light to infuse the hearts and minds of humanity. As easy as it is for you to see, so it is for others, who like you walk the earth for the higher purpose of helping and serving mankind. To be a beacon of Love in the world is a high calling. One you honor by standing firm in your purpose.

The Bible and the spiritual writings since the dawn of time have recorded the stories of men and woman who have demonstrated and surrendered to God’s Will to serve as instruments of God’s Love and Grace for his creation. The work of bringing humanity into right relationship with God has gone on since the dawn of time and continues today. The need for right relations remains of vital importance today.

To join humanity in bringing right relationship with God you must dare to let the Light of your Soul shine forth. A light hidden under a bushel cannot dispel the darkness. Yet it is important to remember that a single candle can dispel the darkness. Light is by its very nature always more powerful than the darkness. As you share your Light you serve the greater good.

The calling of your Soul to be of service to your fellow man identifies you. The way of service is not the way of the world but it is the portal to spiritual wisdom. It is the way to let your Light shine out for the entire world to see.

To listen to the promptings of your Soul is fulfilling your life’s purpose by bringing your love and Light to your fellow man. This is also a portal to true joy and fulfillment.

There is comfort in knowing that you are not alone. When you join with others to deliver God’s Love and demonstrate God’s grace you can magnify the radiance and be of support to one another. Joining together in spiritual community with purpose is empowering for everyone.

Your power to influence the world and to make the world a better place is enhanced and magnified when you join with others in groups. Ponder on this!

To stand forth in prayer and meditation is a way of being the change you wish to see in the world. You can, through prayer or meditation, imagine your Soul connected in the living Light with all who are a part of what is known in the Ageless Wisdom as the New Group of World Servers. You can join with the efforts of the many who work for good in the world.

It is through service to others that you can best demonstrate your love. It is in service to others that God’s love becomes a tangible and living thing.
~ Genevieve Gerard

Your Light is a service to the world. A service you can enhance by consciously joining with the efforts of others like you.

You can join with others in service; your intention is sufficient to connect your light with their Light.

In a spiritual life, service is a portal to true joy. Helping others is a labor of love. When through your life you are able to be a blessing to others you further open the doors to receive greater blessings and greater joy in your own life.

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
~ Rabindranath Tagor

Your personal happiness and success are enhanced when you respond to the calling of your Soul. To those who know their purpose to be emissaries of God’s Love and Light there is a gratification that is felt as an expansion of the Love and Light deep within your heart. Amazingly, this expansion of Love and Light is its own reward.

To focus your meditations on the purpose of serving your fellow man I will share one of my very favorite affirmations with you. This mantram can be used to help you declare your intention and join you energetically with others.

It is especially powerful when said together in a group meditation. When you say this affirmation in meditation and with intention you will be a dynamic part in the service to your fellow man.

Voicing this discipleship affirmation you are joined with others who also work for good in the world. As one of my favorite mantrams I use it regularly in my own personal meditations. I love the power of the assertion of purpose in the words “And thus we stand.” It helps me remember that I am not alone and yet focuses my intention toward service. I hope you find it a blessing in your life.

Say with your whole heart as a Soul the following ancient mantram:

             Affirmation of Service

We are the points of Light within the greater Light.

We are strands of loving energy within the stream of Love Divine.

We are sparks of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery Will of God.

               And thus we stand.

We are ways by which all may achieve.

We are a source of strength enabling them to stand.

We are beams of Light shining upon their way.

               And thus we stand.

We are radiating centers of Joy, Serenity and Quiet Mind.

               And thus we stand.

And standing thus revolve

And tread this way, the way of men

And know the way of God

               And thus we stand

       ~ Adapted from an ancient mantram by Genevieve Gerard

As you move through your daily life your kindness, your compassion and your caring for others is the greatest gift you can give. When you let the Light and Love of your Soul shine forth you become an emissary of Divine grace and joy fills your heart and life. Be glad to be of service!

Namaste,

Genevieve

A New Consciousness is Emerging

A New Consciousness is Emerging

– With the Touch of Your Soul

What is a touch of your Soul and how does it impact your life?

We are told by the writings of the Ageless Wisdom that from the moment of creation of humanity on this planet there was, in the mind of God, an overall plan of evolution.

Our Deepest Truths

It was part of the plan of God when in the creation story God said, “let us make man in our own image” (Genesis 1:26,) after our likeness. Biblical scholars and believers alike have often wondered who is “us”. Who is the “our” that God, as the creator, referred to?

To understand this passage in the creation story, there are many concepts that we must grasp that are beyond our everyday consciousness and awareness. Concepts about the nature of consciousness and thus the nature of reality.

Amazingly, the understandings of these truths have, throughout the eons of time, only been revealed as hints, such as in the above bible passage of Genesis.

The Universe is vast, much vaster than our human experience as a dweller on planet earth may be able fully to comprehend at this time. However, spiritual truths have been slowly revealed over time, often with the instruction to “ponder on this.”

Truths about our human experience as beings who are both material and spiritual are often difficult to fully grasp. This dual nature of our being, a material physical creature whose body dies, yet who is also an eternal being because it has an eternal Soul, is often perceived as a conundrum.

It is in understanding the incredible miracle of this dual nature of our being that the full power and potential of what it means to be a human being is revealed. Only man, and of course the version of the man with a womb (woman) are, of all of creation, created in the image of God.

With the breath of life came the creation of the eternal spark of consciousness that is the Soul. This spark of consciousness shares eternity with the creator. This is the mystery that is the deepest truth of awareness held in the human heart that is revealed only through love.

Not only are many of the most profound truths obscured by the teachings being held as secret. A quick scan of the known history of civilization shows that humanity has often not only rejected truths that contradict “consensus reality” but has put to death those who reveal truths before people are ready to hear and accept them.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
– Hamlet to Horatio in Hamlet (1.5.167-8) by William Shakespeare

A New Consciousness is Emerging Now

The timings of revelations require a certain level of consciousness to not only be accepted but more importantly to be understood. History has shown us that ideas have their own unique moment in time to be accepted by the collective consciousness of humanity.

Currently, I believe, a new consciousness is emerging at this very moment in human awareness.

This new consciousness, new awareness, and new understanding is just happening now, in this time of human evolution, revealing truths that have long been held beyond a veil waiting for humanity to be ready. Divine Love fuels that consciousness.

Awakening with A Touch of Your Soul

What reveals Divine Love is what I call “The touch of your Soul.” Your Soul is the divine spark that was breathed into your being the very moment you were conceived in the mind of God as a part of creation.

This awareness of the life of the Soul and the progressive revelation of the touch of the Soul is for the individual human personality life transforming. It creates a new consciousness and with it, new understandings.

This new consciousness goes by several names in the human adventure. The names are not important, the shift in consciousness is.

Among the modern descriptions of this new awareness are the words “awakening,” and “ascension.” These powerful words do reveal some of the truth of what humanity is now becoming able to be, what humanity is becoming able to understand about what are true essence is as human beings.

We are in a fantastic time in the revelation and evolution of human consciousness. It calls forth from the human experience new ways of understanding and, far more important, new ways of being.

I use the words “new ways of being” specifically because this step forward in the human consciousness adventure is more about “being” and “becoming” than it is about doing.

In the ongoing process of humanity learning to be and become what is emerging in this particular transition in understanding is a powerful transformation that will shift everything.

Part of this shift is “spiritual,” because it requires an expansion of awareness beyond the material expression of life. This expansion requires what I call “The touch of the Soul.” The touch of the soul, your Soul, is of paramount importance in this process because it is your Soul that takes on the mantel of being your teacher through the revelation of profound truths that you might well question if revealed from an external teacher.

The role of your Soul as your teacher ultimately results in the creation of this new kind of human being. This new revelation is a coming into fruition of what has always been true but is just now coming into expression.

Ponder the deeper meaning of the ancient Sanskrit greeting used throughout our planet, Namaste: “The Divinity in me recognizes and honors the Divinity in you.”

The Divinity in me in that phrase speaks to a deep yet often unfocused upon archetypal understanding that each and every human being is endowed by the Creator with a spark of Divine Light.

I often in my writings and teachings refer to that Divine spark as your Soul, and I encourage you to, through meditation, invite and invoke the power and the presence of your Soul to take on the duties of your teacher, the master, and guide that has been with you since the dawn of time and travels with you throughout all of eternity.

The emergence into consciousness of the Soul is what is different about what I am calling a new kind of human being. It is not really new since your spiritual anatomy has always had your Soul as a part of it. What is new is the active incorporation of the Soul into your life experience (ideally your everyday experience.)

The expanded conscious awareness that comes from the touch of your Soul is vast. If in your meditations, prayers or contemplations you have experienced this touch of your Soul certain revelations are consistent and profound.

The amazing thing is that the touch of your Soul puts you in touch with a reality that is beyond your normal awareness of body, mind, and emotions that are guided by your five physical sensory inputs. The touch of your Soul reveals a touch of Divine Love that opens and fills your heart to overflowing.

The touch of your Soul may reveal concepts and thoughts that bring clarity and solutions to life challenges you have never considered. You may experience a sense of expansion into an awareness of unity that transcends the sense of alienation that has so often plagued the human experience.

Whatever your personal awareness of your Soul, it will initiate and herald the start of being and becoming this new kind of human being that is emerging into the world.

This new emerging stage of humanity, whether we consider it an awakening, an evolution, or an assentation, requires a new kind of consciousness; a consciousness that integrates the realm of the Soul with the material realm. It requires a conscious that brings into manifestation a human being who is both in the world, but not exclusively of the world.

A merging, integration, and blending of the spiritual perspective of the Soul, with the reality of the human kingdom which is a world of substance and matter in a new way of considering and expressing life.

Over the eons of spiritual teaching parables, stories and analogies they have alluded to this Soul, Mind, Body merged perspective. Jesus’s discussions of the kingdom of heaven are an example that quickly comes to mind.

What is unique to this moment in the cosmic calendar is that with the touch of your Soul, the personality and ego are shown the possibility of being a citizen of the world while being aware and open to the prompting and direction of your Soul.

You can simultaneously be fully a human being with all of the “oh so human failures” and be a spiritual being, aligned with Divine Will and Divine purpose. You can explore your life challenges with this dual perspective of your human nature and your nature as a child of God who is concurrently the Son of Man.

This is a new manifestation of human consciousness and a new expression of spiritual consciousness in a more integrative and thus empowering way than has ever been possible before. It is an opportunity to be truly the being that the creation story of old said was created in “our” image. This is the being that provides the way the old sage words of the catechism can be answered.

Question 1: What is the chief end of man?

Answer: Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.

It is in the realm of the Soul, the kingdom of Heaven and by the blending of the dual consciousness of your human life experience with your spiritual life experience that this becomes possible.

What makes this transition from a human, being limited to the physical, emotional and mental material perspective, to the expanded awareness of the spiritual consciousness is the touch of the Soul.

The touch of the Soul connects you to Divine Love, which is unconditional in nature and transformative. The touch of the Soul grants an eternal perspective which shifts your perception from the temporal to timelessness, a shift that grants awareness of the eternal now.

I invite and encourage you to call upon your own Soul to touch your life in this transformative way. I invite and urge you to call upon your own Soul to be your teacher and your guide in your life adventure. See the related posts listed below for more on this subject.

You are a miracle of Divine Light, created by Divine Love and infused with Divine Wisdom to be a Soul having a human experience, right here and right now on planet earth.
– Genevieve Gerard

This union of consciousness that you are, and always were created to be, is available to you through the relationship that can begin with the touch of the Soul.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Be Receptive To the Guidance of Your Soul

Be Receptive To the Guidance of Your Soul

– Connecting with Your Higher Self for Life Advice

Recently in a discussion with one of my coaching clients, we explored how to access the guidance and wisdom of your Soul for practical advice.

She was seeking revelation about the life challenges she was currently facing. She thought to receive this kind of clear information was the practical application of spirituality. My client insisted this desire is the reason that spirituality has relevance.

This conversation made me consider her point of view. Particularly, I wondered, what can you do to enhance and empower receiving guidance and direction from your Higher Self? Of equal importance, is the question what can interfere with receiving Soul guidance in your life? That led me to consider the process of receiving guidance and direction from your Soul as a practical real-life issue.

I believe your Soul is not only a part of you but it also a partner in your life. It has a vested interest in helping you learn and grow. However, from the perspective of your personality, the way that it provides the situations and circumstances from which you learn and grow are often not what you want. It is not always clear what is right or best to do.

You learn and grow in so many different ways. This issue seems to need some clarification. In my many years of life coaching, I have led individuals through many meditations in which they reached their Soul for guidance. There are some patterns I have observed. What is most revealing is how much of the preparation for the meditation is just a litany of what the seeker wants or more importantly what they don’t want.

I find it significant that often the answer that emerges as received in meditation is just a repetition of their hopes and desires that were expressed while preparing to meditate. That seems to be a clear signal that it is not the direction of the Soul they received, but rather their desires and their attachments speaking. In considering this result, I am reminded of the words of My Fair Lady, “she’ll listen very nicely then go out and do precisely what she wants.” It is all too easy to project your attachment and desire and then, because you meditated, assume that you have contacted and listened to the wisdom of your Soul.

Not only is this true but in the process of having asked for guidance, it is easy to have the expectation that your Soul is now responsible for what happens. The logical conclusion of this “magical thinking” is that the role of the Soul is to be a kind of “Fairy God Mother” who manipulates the world of matter to make your life easier and more compatible with your desires. I believe this is simply not true.

You can see this kind of “magical thinking” all over the internet and especially on Facebook with the number of abundance posts in which you are asked to type “Yes” to a positive meme graphic about prosperity or miracles. The implication is that by simply typing “Yes” you need only to sit back and receptively wait for the miracle you desire to happen.

This kind of “magical thinking” is a misunderstanding of the Law of Abundance and the principle that “energy follows thought.” It is no wonder that people become discouraged and confused.

What is missing in this kind of “magical thinking” is the role and responsibility of the personality. Whereas it is true that “energy follows thought” it is important to understand that this vital principle is not something you just turn on when you type “Yes” or “Amen” in response to a photo with an inspirational statement; then turn off all of the other thoughts in your mind.

What you do makes a difference. Your dreams, your thoughts, your plans and your goals are all an integral part of success.

Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
– Napoleon Hill

Indeed, meditation helps you to harness the power of your mind. Likewise, the “Law of Attraction” is activated and enhanced by all of the “Positive Mental Attitude” techniques you may use and employ. However, if you do these things only intermittently; that is exactly how they will work, intermittently.

If you ask, affirm or pray for abundance because you are afraid, you are using these principles to fuel the manifestation of what you fear. This is true even when you pray if what is in your mind while you are praying is fear. Worrying, I have often said, is like praying for what you don’t want. Saying a prayer in desperation without surrendering to Divine Will is an attempt to manipulate God. I don’t think that is how it works.

Likewise, typing “yes” for abundance while thinking about your fears and what is lacking in your life sends a mixed message. That mixed message is most often what you most often see manifesting in your life.

Asking For Guidance

This same principle is involved when you ask for guidance from your Higher Self. You have to stop your negative thoughts, your fear, and your worries. Otherwise, your personality will create from its litany of your concerns what you don’t want. You will not be able to hear anything at all from your Higher Self. Your mind chatter drowns out the still soft prompting of the voice of your Soul. To open yourself to the wisdom and guidance of your Soul or God in prayer requires surrender and a willingness to receive direction and guidance that may be very different from what you want.

To become more aware of how your fears and worries are controlling your unconscious requests is important. The power of your mind automatically responds to all of your thoughts. It responds to your wishes, and it responds to your fears. “The Law of Attraction” and the principle that “energy follows thought” do not have a shut-off valve. It is on 24-7.

That energy follows your thought works with every positive affirmation. It also works with every meditation of intention. However, it also engages with every fear and worry that crosses your mind. Therefore, it is important to understand that what you are thinking is constantly creating what is manifesting in your life.

For this reason, it is crucial for you to be aware of your thoughts and value and respect the co-creative power that they have.

Meditation is a powerful tool to help you use your mind to live the life you desire by gaining mastery over your mind. To help you increase your awareness of what you are asking the universe to provide, I recommend that you do a technique I call the “detached observer.” If you follow my work and my writings you that will note that this is not the first time that I have recommended this technique. This technique is not a meditation but what I call a meditative technique.

Detached Observer Technique

One technique that I have found valuable in my own practice and in my years of coaching and counseling people is that you begin just by self-observation.

I recommend starting with committing just 3 minutes a day to consciously observe your thoughts. When you observe a negative or fear-based thought flash through your mind, edit it, correct it and replace it with a conscious thought of what you want and are striving to manifest in your life.

This self-observation, edit, correct (with intention) and replace technique is most important and empowering when what crosses your mind is a fear. To do this consciously and with intention is best achieved in a meditative state while aligning with your Higher Self and focusing on your life’s purpose. In this alignment, you have a greater vision.

This technique is best done free of self-judgment or criticism (each of which works against achieving positive thoughts to replace the negative and fear-based chatter of the “Monkey Mind.”)

I refer to this as a meditative state because it is not really meditation, but as you are seeking to consciously align with your Soul and your Soul purpose in life you are in a higher state of consciousness and keener awareness than just thinking. So this exercise of observation from the perspective of the “detached observer” is a bridge between normal uncontrolled and casual thinking and meditation.

This can be a powerful and transforming technique. As I mentioned I recommend starting with this technique 3 minutes every day. That may seem very short but if you really consider and catch most of your negative thoughts to edit, and revise and replace the thought, you will have made a huge step forward in your ability to harness the power of your mind and learn to quiet the chattering mind. This simple (although sometimes not easy) step is important in learning to meditate and to empower your life.

In teaching this technique to my coaching clients, most have observed that a daily practice of this technique begins major transformation in their lives.

I suggest that you start out using this method for 3 minutes a day for 30 days. Three minutes of your day is not very much. However, three minutes is enough to demonstrate my point. Three minutes is sufficient to describe the energy you are sending out.

Harnessing the power of your thoughts and making them serve you, while very simple is not always easy. Your mind functions in a multilevel way with ideas so rapid and diverse it is like catching quicksilver.

Throughout the eons of teaching meditation, helping the student gain control of what is often called “The Monkey Mind” or the “Chattering Mind” has been the goal.

In fact, the extended periods of meditating on the ‘no thing,’ ‘the void,’ ‘the sound of one hand clapping’ and other techniques that I learned in my early days of meditation, all seemed to be focused on learning to quiet your chattering mind.

Likewise, mantras repeated serve the same purpose. Similarly, the repetitive phrases of awareness that are taught in mindfulness meditations serve the same goal; they teach you to focus your thoughts and wrestle control from the chatter. Using guided meditations serve the same purpose. They are certainly easier than focusing on the “no-thing” or “the void.”

Check out my Awaken to Success CD or MP3’s, which give you 21 positive affirmations for abundance. Use these to empower yourself to create the life of your dreams.

All are techniques to focus your thoughts in the desired direction you choose for your consciousness. Guided meditations are an effective and efficient way to harness the power of your mind to help you create the life and experiences you desire. Focusing on a problem with a focused intention on a daily basis can be transforming. The issue of regularity and repetition are key elements in using meditation to change your life.

Daily meditation need not be an arduous process. Moreover, although in my early days of meditating I was instructed to meditate for 30 minutes to an hour daily, I have found over the last 48 years that daily meditation consistently applied with intention is more important than the time spent.

When I create a guided meditation experience, I strive to capture the essence of the subject that I focus on in a 10 to 20-minute session. In meditation, it is quality rather than quality that counts.

The process of quieting your mind chatter enables you to receive the still prompting guidance of your Higher Self. Likewise, to be receptive to the wisdom of your Soul, it is important to cease your attachment to what you desire or expect in order to open your heart and your mind. Ponder on this.

This dual process of quieting your mind as much as possible and surrendering your personal will and desires to be receptive to the guidance you are receiving are crucial steps in receiving advice from your Higher Self.

We must let go of the life we have planned,
so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.
– Joseph Campbell

I also recommend that if you are seeking the wisdom and direction of your Soul in your life that you set aside at least 10 minutes a day, regularly to meditate on that very subject. Then apply the technique of the detached observer by revising and reframing every negative thought, aligning it with what you feel your Higher Self is directing you to. Do these meditations with as much of an attitude of surrender to Divine Will as you are able.

I further recommend that you follow your “asking” time with a reflective and receptive time that you write in a spiritual journal. This combination of meditation and journal entry will increase the effectiveness of your request.

You Higher Self, your Soul, is available to you. When you can quiet your desires, your fears and listen to your Souls wisdom and guidance, it becomes a partner on your life journey, and your life journey becomes your spiritual journey.

Namaste,
Genevieve

The blessing of love on all that you do!

Joy Is The Antidote To Fear

Genevieve Gerard

Joy Is The Antidote To Fear

Transcending, transmuting and releasing fear is one of the most powerful and life-transforming steps you can take on your spiritual journey.

In the Ageless Wisdom, releasing fear is a step associated with the second initiation. As such, there is a myriad of life lessons that accompany learning mastery over your fear.

To overcome your fears is a challenge for everyone.

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real
– Unknown

Ultimately learning to transmute and transcend your fears cannot be done by your personality and your personal will alone. For that reason to transform your fears becomes spiritual work.

Fear is so very deep, archetypal and integral to the human experience that freeing yourself of fear is such a significant step in your spiritual evolution because to accomplish this you must call upon the strength, the power and the wisdom of your Soul.

Find a place inside where there’s joy,
and the joy will burn out the pain.
– Joseph Campbell

As you transform your life by transcending your fears, everything changes. Each victory you make and each step that you take is profound and significant.

It is best to harness the power of your mind and practice the powerful principle that “energy follows thought” by using a technique that I call the detached observer.

To use the detached observer technique, I recommend that you pay attention to the random thoughts of your mind. Realize that these thoughts are what you are sending out on an almost constant stream as positive or negative instructions to activate the “Law of Attraction” in your role of co-creator of your life.

As you use the “detached observer technique” I have over the years recommended that you catch yourself engaging in “stinking thinking” as Zig Ziegler use to call it. Once you have noted a fearful thought, just stop and restate it into a positive thought. All it takes is to use the wisdom and insight of your Higher Self to reframe the thought and revise it, thus activating your personal will to manifest the life you desire. Ponder on this technique!

Reviewing, reframing and restating your thought is a very powerful technique that can empower you to transform your life.

If you have ever used this method, or if you choose to use it right now, I am sure that you will find buried in your previously unconscious “mind chatter” a myriad of fears you can address.

As you explore your preconscious thoughts, you may find that fears are often a component of your content.

Fear is often embedded in your thoughts of worry, which I call “praying for what you don’t want.”

Take just one minute right now to center quietly in yourself and listen from the role of the detached observer to the content of your mind chatter with the critical awareness of how much your fears are reflected in your thoughts.

Amazing isn’t it? Fear can be a large part of your life.

The transmuting and releasing of your fears is such a significant part of your spiritual journey that of all my published guided meditations I have devoted not just one, but multiple meditations to that goal, (I Am Feeling Free and Feeling Free.)

What is clear to me is that because fear is so deeply rooted in the human experience it is only by empowering the personality with the power of your Higher Self (your Soul) are you able to release your fears.

The personality can be engaged by seeking more enlightened awareness as you call upon the wisdom, the will and the power of your Soul (Higher Self or Higher Power) to transcend your fears. By so doing, you are demonstrating a powerful spiritual lesson. You are created as a spiritual being (a Soul) to work in harmony, and unity with a material being that directs, body, mind, and emotions with your personality.

In this statement above, there is both great truth but also a secret for managing your life. Ponder of this.

There is no higher purpose to meditation than to become aware of the power and magnificence of your Soul.
– Genevieve Gerard

To use this higher power and this majesty to be and become all that you are meant to be and live a life of joyful abundance is the reward of enlightened awareness. It is the inherent secret ingredient in all of the ways to live in joy.

Joy spontaneously arises when you call upon your Soul and activate it as an integral part of the choices you make in your life.

That joy is the antidote to fear came to me recently while coaching someone in the release of his or her fears. It is such a significant thought and principle that I have meditated upon it for several days now.

As I pondered upon opening my heart and my mind to the touch of my Soul and experienced the rush of joy that accompanied it, I realized simultaneously that in doing so, there was no space for fear.

Miraculously, fear and joy are antithetical to one another. That led me to consider how I can use joy to conquer fear.

Lately, in my meditations, I have been experiencing the blessing, joy, and grace of an angelic presence that I call The Angel of Perpetual Joy. She is an angelic being who has had a profound benefit in my daily life. In fact, it was the transformations her presence has created in my life that stimulated the writing of my recent article, “When Angels Come to Earth.” As I stated in that article, Angels often choose to come to earth for the purpose of helping humanity.

In my meditations, I gained the insight that joy dispels fear. It is important that you understand that Angels have a role of assistance and support. The Angel of Perpetual Joy then went on to reveal in telepathic communion that Angels communicate through their union with your Soul to provide your personality a special blessing that I was charged to offer to you.

She, as an Angelic Presence will respond to your invocation by her presence to help you transcend and overcome your fears. Therefore, with both her direction and blessing I encourage you to call upon her presence in your prayers and meditations to let joy serve as the antidote to your fears.

I invite you to invoke her presence in your life; I published in my previous article, “When Angeles Come to Earth” a meditation you can use and customize that is called, “A Meditation on Angelic Presence.”

You can use this meditation to request her blessing of joy and her presence to transmute, transform and abolish your life of fears.

As you meditate upon her presence, I invite you to invoke and call upon the power and the presence of your Soul.

I believe connecting with your Soul is always accompanied by a rush of Love and Joy. However, in my experience after calling upon “The Angel of Perpetual Joy” and meditating with her, the presence of my Soul was also magnified and expanded. Such is the gift of angelic dedication to a particular purpose in life.

Because transcending and transmuting fear can be such an important part of your spiritual journey, I encourage you to use both the reframing technique of the detached observer and take advantage of the blessings of angelic presence regularly in your meditations.

I invite you to use Joy as an antidote to your fears.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on All That You Do!

P.S. I also ask your help and support to share this article with those you know who you feel would be open to and responsive to this teaching. When you consider how limiting fear can be in someone’s life, this would be an act of service and a blessing.

Does Your Soul Sing To You

Genevieve Gerard

Does Your Soul Sing To You?

Within you is a song that is unique to you. It is the song of your Soul.

The Song of the Soul is the voice with which you join in the celestial music that is known as the heavenly hosts. It is a pulsing thrum that joins to create what is known as the music of the spheres. It is probably not a song you hear or are aware of as you rush through your daily life.

The Song of Your Soul is found only within the sound of silence, the silence that is within all sound.

I would invite you to open your life and your inner sense to this voice as a meditative experience to help you increase your awareness of the beauty and magnificence of your Soul. This meditative experience is an experiment in consciousness. As with all meditative experiences your experience is unique to you and is guided by the wisdom of your Soul to offer you what you need at this exact moment in time and what can be of benefit to you right here and right NOW.

At times, and I must admit that they are rare and precious times; in deep meditation I have heard the music of the spheres. In those singular and treasured times, I have felt transported to the angelic realm. I have been so filled with love that it overflows my mind and my heart as I am infused with the love of my Soul.

I have never written about these peak meditative experiences before. I have not spoken of them often even among my spiritual meditation group. They are moments of bliss and communion with the Divine that I doubt I can even find the perfect words to express.

So, when in my morning meditation I felt directed to write about one of these extraordinary moments I immediately found my “mind chatter” limiting me. I found myself doubting that I could do what I felt I was being guided to do. Then, when I felt directed to create a meditation to open you and others to this extraordinary experience my mind and my personality began to argue that 1.) It couldn’t be done. 2.) I was both incapable and more significantly not worthy to even try to do it.

My very human experience of denying the directing of my Soul led me to consider how often my “mind chatter” and insecurities stop me from being who I am meant to be, or doing what I am directed to do. Sadly, I must admit much more often than I would like it to be.

No matter how often I surrender my personal Will to Divine Will and I do it very often, not only each day but frequently throughout the day; I am still limited by my beliefs. And, no matter how often I dedicate myself to the Divine work and purpose, I know that what I give and what I offer falls short of the magnificence of my Soul with which I regularly align in my meditations. This is the conflict between the Soul and the personality.

Here I sit in my morning meditations and writing time feeling directed to create something to help others touch what I have only been able to touch in the exalted peak moments of my meditations. I have to trust that although my efforts will fall short of perfection, it is important to make my very best effort.

How I Try To Listen To the Song of My Soul

First, to try to write something that can provide a portal to this transcendent experience I find that I must, as I recommend to you each time I create a guided meditation, calm my mind. Then I must open my heart. As I strive to do this, I am filled with the Love that I have for you.

Please ponder on these words as I share with you the blessing and the beauty of the Touch of your Soul that this meditative experience can provide you. I have faith and trust that your Soul will direct and guide you to experience what is right for you.

Then in full faith, with trust and confidence that my Soul has wisdom beyond my mind, I invite the Light of my Soul to guide me.

The words of one of my favorite mantras comes to me and with intention I invoke:

May the energy of the divine self inspire me
and the light of the soul direct.

May I be led from darkness to light,
from the unreal to the real,
from death to immortality.
– Djwhal Khul (Tibetan master)

With that openness and invitation to the Light, I shall strive to quiet the criticism and judgements of my mind chatter. I attempt to capture for you the direction of my Soul to create a guided meditative experience to help you open to the Touch of your Soul so that you too may hear the song of your Soul.

Within my mind’s chatter is an understanding that my best efforts as a human being will fall short of the glory of the Soul in its realm as it joins with the angels and the heavenly hosts. Still, I will dip my pen in heaven and write as best I can to create this for you. After that, you will have to rely on the wisdom of your Soul to guide you.

What it will reveal and what you will experience is uniquely for you. As I frequently advise before you begin any meditation where you consciously open to and invite Soul contact, I recommend that you have a journal beside you to record the impressions, images and promptings of your Soul.

Although you may be propelled by the business and busyness of life, with your awareness focused on your body, emotions, mind and your personality’s needs and desires; each and every one of us is endowed with a Soul, that is a spark of Divine Light and is our eternal essence.

Listen To the Song of My Soul Meditation

Take a minute now and sit with your spine aligned and your feet firmly on the floor as you open your whole being to this moment of time. Let all that has come before in your life fade away as you come into the eternity of the now.

Imagine the Light of your Soul as a radiating Light three to six feet above your head.

Then visualize that Golden Light descending into your field of energy (your aura) into the top of your head, down into your heart filling your heart with Love.

To enter into this meditative experience you must hear, not with you physical ears but with your Soul, a song of the sounds that are the essence of all sound that is found only in the silence. Quiet yourself and connect to the part of you that is One with that Divine spark, your Soul.

A Mantra that you can use to empower you to connect with and identify with your Soul is:

I am the Soul.

I am infused with the Light of my Soul.

Grace fills me with Diving Love.

As Soul, I am joined and fused with the heart of God.

As Soul, I am empowered by the Christ to
be of service to do His work in the world.

To do God’s work aligned with God’s Will,
I surrender my little will.

With gratitude and joy,
I open my heart and my mind to the directing of my Soul.

– Genevieve Gerard

Now, having identified with and aligned with your Soul, sit quietly with your mind as calm as you can bring it to be, open your heart to the outpouring grace of Divine Love. Invite again the Light of your Soul, confident of your Oneness with that Light.

This is a sacred moment. In the peace of this moment and the Presence of your Soul, sit in the silence and listen to the Song of your Soul.

Embrace whatever experience has been granted to you with gratitude. Let whatever blessings and insights that come to you grow without judgement.

Record whatever guidance and impressions linger from this experience in your journal.

Let you heart be filled with the Love of your Soul and your mind be filled with greater understanding and insight.

Before you move back into the events of your day, pause to express your gratitude for the blessings you have received.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Understanding Our Dual Nature

Genevieve Gerard

Understanding Our Dual Nature

This article is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awareness.

The experience of being human is an amazing blend of seemingly contradictory factors.

Let us take a moment to consider the diverse parts of the human being that must be integrated every day of our lives. Understanding this better may help you understand the different aspects of your human nature that are often challenging.

A dear spiritual friend of mine calls this duality, but I feel that term may not capture the full depth and breadth of the dynamics of what it means to be a human being in incarnation, especially at this exciting time in human evolution.

Since the dawn of creation, when human beings first drew in the breath of life, we as human beings have been a unique creation. We are told in the scriptures, that man was created in the image of God, the relationship between the part of ourselves that is the animal man and the part of ourselves that is Divine created in the image of the creator, has been a source of many questions. It is that concept on which I wish to expand.

Let us take a minute to consider the meaning of the dual nature of man. This is a subject that I have long pondered and studied. Within the understanding of that dual nature are many factors that are important to consider.

Divine Observations

The most ancient religions across the planet, even when they differ dramatically in dogma seem to have observed certain essential truths. One of these truths is that a human being has within them something that is both Divine and eternal.

This truth is acknowledged by the ancient greeting “Namaste.” The meaning of the ancient Sanskrit phrase Namaste is that you honor and recognize this Divinity in another. This recognition happens in a deep pre-conscious part of your being. It is both a deep truth and a profound mystery about the human condition.

There are some things that help to consider this dual nature of your being. Some of these are common sense observations of reality. Others are more abstract. Yet, even the most abstract of these seem to be a part of your collective understanding, and archetypal awareness of what it means to be a human being, a unique and amazing blending of what is material and what is spiritual.

As you delve into this mystery, there are many beliefs that may have been taught to you throughout all of our life that come into play. When we talk about these issues, these beliefs can be a great support in your understanding or a great hindrance because what I am saying is being judged to match up with the dogma of those beliefs.

What Resonates For You As The Truth

As I write to you today I try, to my best ability, to discuss and explain these issues in a way that have a practical implication upon your life, the decisions you make and how to best take advantage of this miracle of life with which you have been blessed. As you read this, I am going to ask you to calm your mind and open your heart. I am going to ask you to consider these words from a place deep within you that resonates and is recognized by you when you hear the truth.

I am going to ask you today to read my words and only judge them by what resonates for you as the truth. If anything that I write, today or ever does not live up to that standard, I request that you dismiss it. I am a human being on the same path to being more enlightened in my awareness as you and every other human being who walks the earth.

Nothing I have ever said or will ever say should be given greater authority than the truth.
– Genevieve Gerard

Inner Sense of Truth and Knowing

Amazingly, each of us has within us a deep sense of truth when we are open to receive it. The common phrase, “that has the ring of truth to it” describes this experience of considering the truth in what you are hearing or reading. There is a phrase I have often considered and pondered on along my own path, “no religion is higher than the truth.” Therefore, it is to this inner sense of truth and knowing that I direct you as we explore this fully human and Divine aspect of your human nature.

As we consider these truths, I also ask you to consider how these truths relate to the practical daily decisions you make in your life. In my own meditations lately, when I connect to my Soul, my own spark of Divine Light to grow and understand my life and my work, I have been pondering upon a phrase, “practical spirituality.” Indeed, if being spiritual has a purpose in life it must be to help us live life more abundantly and more joyfully.

The more that I have come to know and understand the spiritual part of my being, the more solutions I have found to the multifaceted and myriad of life’s challenges. Meditation has been the portal through which I make contact with the Divine spark in me, my Soul, and it is through the vast and unconditional love that is available to me when I touch my Soul, that I am granted both understanding and wisdom to solve life’s problems.

I have, to the very best of my ability, tried to capture these solutions to share with you in my guided meditations and my writings. From my own very human challenges in life and from my many years helping others resolve life challenges I have created many meditations. My husband jokes that my epitaph will be “I have a meditation for that.” It is my experience that my relationship with my Soul is both immensely practical and life-enhancing.

It is from the perspective of my own awareness of my dual nature as a Soul or Spiritual being that I must integrate the needs of my body, my emotions, my thought with the directing of my Soul. I shall strive to describe the practical applications of that dual perspective to you now.

Understanding Your Dual Nature

You Have a Physical Body

In order to have this discussion, it is important that we consider what you know to be the seeming diverse parts of your human nature. First, you know you have a physical body. That part of your human nature and your human experience is the source for many delights. The five senses of the physical body are a source for a great deal of enjoyment. It is a precious gift from the Creator. It is a bountiful blessing.

If you apply that recommended filter of truth to the preceding statement about your body, I am sure it will pass the test. There are those in the name of spiritual teaching who have taught you to deny the blessings of the body, with thoughts of shame and guilt. Nevertheless, I ask you to consider with gratitude and celebration the miracle that your body is. Open yourself to enjoy and appreciate that amazing part of the wholeness of yourself.

As it is true that the physical part of your human experience is wonderful and glorious; it is also true that you are more than a physical body. Life, your life, is multilayered and multifaceted. Yet, from your awareness of your physical nature, you know that the desires and the pleasures of the flesh can easily get out of balance and out of control.

Amazingly, it is your Higher Self, your Soul, which can help you keep your physical desires in balance. The Soul, or as addiction treatment refers to it, a Higher Power, is often the key to overcoming excess and addiction to the desires and pleasures of the flesh. This is for many a first step in calling upon their dual nature in a practical and life-changing manner. It is by calling on the Higher Self, your own personal Higher Power, that you can gain mastery and start a process of integration.

In the Ageless Wisdom, this process is referred to as an important step in human evolution, that of bringing the Soul into dominance over the physical desires and urges.

You have a body, but you are more than your body. This is powerfully demonstrated when you use the influence and strength of your Soul to transcend out of balance physical desires to move forward in your life. This is an example of calling upon the advantages of being a dual being, material and spiritual.

You Have Emotions

Likewise, you have emotions. This is one of the true challenges of our human experience. Just as dealing with the desires of the flesh can create untold challenges in the human adventure, so too can the experience of emotions present an ongoing challenge. The wildly erratic nature of emotions, from anger to joy, from hate to love, make having emotions, and especially not letting your emotions be in control in your life, a major focus of the practical application of spirituality.

There is no doubt that coping with and managing the desires of the flesh is an important part of life. We have all seen the disastrous results of lives where desire and pleasure were allowed to be out of balance in life decisions. Likewise, the rampant expressions of the volatility of emotions do not lead to a happy or fulfilling life. This is the conclusion of a thinking man.

You Have A Thinking Mind

Truly, the mind is an equally powerful part of the wholeness of your being. Through the power of your mind, you are able to understand that you, in your human experience are more than a body. And, by observing life you know that you are more than the sum total of your rollercoaster emotions.

Your mind and most importantly the content of your thoughts is essential to understanding what I call your spiritual anatomy. How these diverse parts of the human nature of physical, emotional and mental combine and work together is truly amazing. The integration and blending of these concurrently diverse forces of the self is the function of the personality.

You Are A Soul

Although the personality does a great job of striving to balance the parts of the self, the real dynamic power of one’s dual nature resides in the Soul. The Soul, that spark of Divine Light that is so rarely even considered in many people’s daily life, is where the real magic of the human experience resides. However, as we consider the magnificent multifaceted parts of “being” a human being it is important to understand the different nature of the Soul from your personality.

The Ageless Wisdom teaches that the Soul, your Soul, is available to help you live the full breadth and the full joy of your life. This is a power you can engage and activate in ways that help you conquer the challenges of the desires of the flesh.

You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.
– Swami Vivekananda

The Soul offers the support to transcend fears and one’s more unpleasant and painful emotions. Your Soul provides the ignition to the mind to serve in a co-creator relationship with the Divine. With the empowering of your thoughts through the spiritual principles of the Law of Attraction and the energetic dynamics that “energy follows thought,” you can create your life. Ponder on this.

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.
– Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Although your personality does an ok job of integrating your body and your emotions with your mind, your personality is not your Soul. Your Soul, which is a spark of Divine Light, is a part of the Creative force and eternal and evolving essence of life itself.

Your Soul, rather than your personality, can do a much more enlightened job of integrating the human nature of your body, mind, and emotions.

To touch your Soul, to open your heart and your mind to that resplendent radiance and glory is life-transforming and can take place every day. Making this distinction is important in understanding your dual nature as a human being.

As you develop, learn, and grow as a spiritual being on your quest for more enlightened awareness, it is the touch and transforming power of your Soul that will make the greatest difference.
– Genevieve Gerard

Soul-Infused Personality

Along the path of spiritual evolution, the integration of the body, the emotions and the mind with your Soul are significant achievements. The integration of each of these parts of the self with the Soul is the forerunner to integrating your personality with your Soul.

To incorporate the consciousness of your Soul with your personality, you must focus your awareness beyond your individual self, into your oneness with all of life. Throughout the day, allow your Soul to overshadow your personality and influence every action you take. This will make a powerful and profound difference in how you experience even the most mundane things in the world.

It is in the integration of your very human nature with your spiritual nature that the real majesty of being a physical being and a Soul comes into its full glory.

It is in this step in the evolution of a human being and a Soul that the full miracle of merging the physical with the spiritual can be demonstrated.

Check out any of my guided activity-based awareness meditations to have an experience of this.

I invite and encourage you to experience the many ways that your human nature can benefit from the greater perspective of your Soul’s wisdom and vast unconditional love.

This merging and integration with your Soul (and the ultimate understanding of your dual nature) is the most rewarding and exciting adventure you can undertake. I welcome your comments on understanding your dual nature below.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What You Need To Know To Invoke Your Higher Self

Genevieve Gerard

What You Need To Know To
Invoke Your Higher Self

This post is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awakening.

There comes a time in the human experience that you need more than logic to solve a problem.

Your mind may replay possible solutions to your problems, only to cast them aside. You may have a sense that the wisdom you are seeking lies just outside of your reach.

You may feel a prompting that you cannot quite grasp. Your intuition may be warning you that you are about to make a mistake, but you lack the clarity to stand with the strength and assurance to find a different way.

This is the time to invoke the wisdom and the guidance of your Higher Self.

To invoke your Higher Self will aid and empower you. When you realize that the directions and insights are coming from the part of yourself that is most attuned, and aligned with your divine spark and the higher purpose in your life, it shifts your perspective and strengthens you.

Consciously connecting with your Higher Self empowers your life and your decisions. You can invoke Your Higher Self whenever you need its wisdom and guidance. Your Higher Self is internally tuned in with the purpose of your life. It opens you to a sense of your inner wisdom and your inner knowing.

Steps To Invoke Your Higher Self

INTENTION

Perhaps the most significant step in connecting with your Higher Self is your intention.

Intention fuels a manifestation of an energetic connection that is always there, although you may not always feel or experience it. Intention activates the pathway from your physical and etheric body to the subtle energetic substance that forms the Soul or Higher Self.

It is your intention that activates an energetic bridge from your lower mind and personality to the part of you that is your Higher Self. It is important to remember that your Higher Self is a part of your anatomy every bit as real and significant as what you can see, touch, smell, taste, and feel. It cannot, not help but be a part of you.

We should not pretend to understand the world only by the intellect.
The judgement of the intellect is only part of the truth.
– Carl Jung

That you rarely consider your Higher Self consciously does not make it any less real and present. You rarely consciously consider the blood that circulates through your body or the oxygen it delivers throughout your physical body, but we all know they are real.

Your Higher Self is as much a part of the wholeness of your being, even though it’s substance is not composed of matter.

IMAGINATION

Because your Higher Self is composed of a substance that is uniquely different from the substance of matter, imagination in visualizing and experiencing your Higher Self can be very valuable.

Your Imagination is a function of your higher mind and is, therefore, more aligned with and attuned with the substance of your Higher Self. It is a valuable tool in helping you experience this part of your being that is beyond matter.

EXPERIENCE

In consciously connecting with your Higher Self, it is important that you open your senses beyond what you may focus on in your so-called, “normal consciousness.”

You may need to expand your awareness of a part of your energy field that you may most often ignore. To come into a conscious experience of your Higher Self I recommend that you calm your mind, open your heart and invite the Light. This is a prequel to the meditation experience.

The Soul speaks to you in the silence. The more you can quiet and calm your mind the more the soft, gentle whisper of the Soul can be heard.
– Genevieve Gerard

When reaching for the conscious awareness of your Higher Self, meditation is a powerful tool. It is not essential, but the more often you forge the pathway from your lower nature and your personality to your Higher Self the easier the path is to follow (like any well-worn path in nature.) When you empower the pathway from your mind and your emotions, you build a way that etheric energy connects you with your Higher Self.

Relax and enjoy the construction of that pathway using your intention and your imagination as you open yourself to the experience of meeting your Higher Self in the meditation below.

Breathing Meditation To Invoke Your Higher Self

Begin, by inhaling a very deep breath, bringing the air in through your nose, letting it begin at your diaphragm energetically.

Bring the air into your chest and as you do this consciously open the energy of your heart to expand. Hold the intention of Love.

Then bring the breath all the way to the top of your lungs, just below the shoulders.

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

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

Before you take another profound and relaxing breath, take a moment to come into this present moment. Let yourself consciously put the past behind you, and relax and appreciate the magnificent power and unlimited potential that is available, right here and right now.

Recognize that the past is now behind you. 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 eternal NOW.

It is in the eternal NOW that your Higher Self resides. This moment, this peace, this Presence is available to you.

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 and up into your heart allowing your heart energy to open and expand.

Again, 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 and come to center.

Observe what you are feeling and experiencing.

Then, 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.

Enter into the profound peace and potential of the eternal now, and release the past and open to the possibility of creating a new future that incorporates more of your purpose in life and your heart’s desire.

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

With the inhale draw into your heart and your mind the perfect amount of the very essence of your Being.

Let its Light circulate through your whole being with your breath.

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

As you exhale breath out any negative thoughts or fears.

Release any limiting beliefs that keep you from expressing the magnificent and full being that you truly are.

Now sit in silence and receptivity as you listen for the still prompting of your Higher Self.

In this pause you can offer up any issue and concern on which you would like greater insight or understanding.

Be receptive and record your thoughts and insights in your journal.

Pause for reflection.

Observe the background sounds that surround you. Return to this present moment and give gratitude to your Higher Self for any insights and clarity you may have received in this guided meditation.

Now, move forward with your life confident and assured that the insight and wisdom you have applied to the situation is the right choice for your life and is aligned with your Higher Purpose.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Using Meditation to Unite You With Your Soul

Genevieve Gerard

Using Meditation to Unite You With Your Soul

Perhaps the most incredible and inspiring experience you can have in meditation is to connect with your Soul.

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 just experiencing it is often healing, transformational and profound. To me, it is the greatest gift of meditation.

An important factor in any meditation is how the regular practice of meditation actually makes it increasingly easier to meditate. It is more than the old adage, “practice makes perfect.”

Each time that you consciously and with intention connect to your Higher Self (your Soul), you are reinforcing and building a pathway to ease your passage. In the Ageless Wisdom, this is often called the rainbow bridge.

Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
– Michael Jackson

Whenever you call upon the Light of your Soul for inspiration or guidance you are building a bridge in consciousness from your personality to your Soul, your Higher Self.

You are connecting to and making the wisdom of your Soul available to you. This enables you to expand your awareness and perspective to a much greater understanding of who and what you are and a much deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of your life. This pathway in consciousness strengthens with each journey you take along that path.

When you meditate regularly and invoke and invite the presence of your Soul to be an active and incorporated part of your life, you are expanding your world to have a greater scope than you may have believed possible.

The nature and essence of your Soul is love, so increasing and inviting Soul connection into your life expands your experience of love and increases your ability to love.

Amazingly, this Soul communication can also be experienced by your conscious mind, as a healing power in your physical body and as a sense of emotional peace and calm.

This is one of the most profound benefits of calling on your Soul in meditation. Awareness of the connection and interconnection of all of life, and especially a sense of oneness, with others and nature, is a frequent result. This expanded awareness is often accompanied by feelings of unity and purpose. It often fills you with a very deep joy.

Each time you meditate, I recommend that you focus your attention on aligning your whole being and all of your energies. As you do that with intention, you are consciously creating an energetic pathway to integrate your physical body, with your emotional body and your mental body with your personality; and then, raise that energy connection to you Higher Self, your Soul.

This energetic pathway forms etheric substance that is known as the Antahkarana in the Ageless Wisdom. This is known as the Rainbow Bridge and the conscious building and reinforcing of that pathway through meditation, especially through daily meditation, eventually provides support in the meditation experience and allows more conscious awareness of the presence of your Soul.

This formation of energetic substance to empower and support you in your meditative endeavors is significant in understanding why it is easier to meditate daily than at random times in your life. This is a part of the secret and science of meditation. Ponder on this!

The regular endeavor (I recommend daily) of meditation is more than just forming a habit. It is building a support system to enhance the power and breadth of the integration of your Soul within your life.

This is ultimately one of the main benefits of meditation. It allows you to increase the integration of your Higher Self with your personality, body, mind and Soul. This integration enhances your success and improves your overall wellbeing. Meditation, partially because of the creation of the etheric connection of the Higher Self with your personality, then becomes a valuable tool to help you overcome many of life’s challenges.

Every time you meditate, especially when you do it consciously and with an intention to connect with your Higher Self, you are reinforcing and strengthening this connection.

This supportive pathway in your consciousness is particularly useful in helping you transcend, transmute, and transform the tyranny that fear, anger, and emotion can exert over your life.

Fear is perhaps the most limiting and confining challenge in life. Yet, this principle of building the energetic rainbow bridge is the explanation why techniques such as my “Feeling Free” or “I Am Feeling Free” meditations are so effective.

Imagine if your anger were able to dissolve spontaneously upon expression.

Through the practice of meditation, especially a meditation with the intention to connect with your Soul, you can direct the Light of the Soul to the challenges of your physical desires and needs. You can clear your emotional body with that Light and thus bringing healing. You can receive insights and enlightened awareness in your mind that can be incorporated into a deeper understanding of life.

The full nature of the glory and power of your Soul is vast. Your conscious mind is limited and most likely only perceives but a glimmer of its true nature, and yet that glimmer begins the pathway in consciousness to a thread of awareness that builds and grows.

Through the ongoing and regular practice of meditation, your personality becomes increasingly integrated with the wholeness of your being and is swayed less by your physical or emotional desires.

Meditation, especially when used to expand your awareness and understanding of your Soul, can be even more significant than the health benefits of being calm or centered. It is an adventure in consciousness and a quest for freedom. It provides a portal to a profound and powerful peace and a resounding joy that impacts everything in your life.

Meditation is a tool that can be used to address most life challenges and situations. I have used it in this way in my life and for the benefit of those I have coached and counseled over the years. By using meditation to connect with the wisdom, love, grace, and forgiveness of your Soul there is no dark corner in your life that cannot benefit from shinning the Light of your Soul on it. This is the underlying principle in every guided meditation I have created.

It is no surprise that my answer when presented with a problem in my life, or in the life of others, is “I have a meditation for that.”

Meditation can empower and enhance your life. It is something that you can use wherever you are, with whatever time you have available. Although it is enhanced by a regular practice and discipline, it can benefit your life each time that you do it. Ultimately, there is no wrong way to meditate.

Using a guided meditation is often easier, and there are many available by me or a myriad of other teachers. You can experiment and try different experiences. You can learn from these and create your own meditations. Trust your innate wisdom to direct you to what works for you.

Like a path frequently traveled becomes clear and well-marked in the forest, so too does the path to your Soul become more clearly marked in your consciousness.
– Genevieve Gerard

I have found in a life marked by many years of meditation that it becomes so reinforcing that I could not imagine not meditating. In my life, it has become the source for so much of my strength and so much of my joy that I am compelled to share and offer it to you.

I invite you to use meditation to unite with your Soul and experience true joy and insight daily.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Ways To Connect With Your Soul

Perhaps the most wonderful and inspiring experience you can have in meditation is to connect with your Soul.

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 experiencing it is often transformational and profound.

To me, to connect with your Soul is the greatest gift of meditation.

IMPORTANT FACTORS

An important factor is how the regular practice of meditation actually makes it easier and easier to meditate. It is more than the old adage practice makes perfect. Each time you consciously, and with intention, connect to your Higher Self (your Soul), you are creating additional threads of energy that build a bridge to ease your passage.

Whenever you call upon the Light of the Soul for inspiration or guidance, you are building a bridge in consciousness from your personality to your Soul. In so doing you are making the wisdom of your Soul available to you.
– Genevieve Gerard

You are able to tap into and expand your awareness and perspective to a much greater understanding of who and what you are and a much deeper understanding of the meaning and purpose of your life.

BENEFITS OF CONNECTING WITH YOUR SOUL

When you meditate regularly, invoke, and invite the Presence of your Soul to be an active and incorporated part of your life, you are raising the frequency of your mind and your physical body. This leads to an expanded awareness, and insights and clarity greater than you may have believed possible.

In addition, since the nature and essence of your Soul is pure love, increasing and inviting Soul connection into your life expands your experience of true love and increases your understanding and ability to love.

One of the other profound benefits of calling on your Soul in meditation is an awareness of the connection and interconnection of all of life. This expanded awareness is often accompanied by feelings of unity and purpose. It often fills you with a very deep joy. This sense of universal Oneness, with others and nature, can be a life-altering, magnificent experience of bliss.

USING RITUALS

Some find that the act of using rituals helps to prepare them for meditation. The primary purpose of preparing to meditate with a ritual is that the action of preparation serves to reinforce your conscious intention.

You can experiment with creating rituals that work for you. When you find one that you feel is of help, you can incorporate it into your meditation practice.

When you use a ritual the time and the effort of performing the ritual serves as a preparation and helps you be ready and receptive to the meditation process. An additional benefit of setting up a ritual is it serves the purpose of helping to quiet your mind chatter as you focus on the intent of your meditation time.

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to prepare for meditation. Although you may choose to set aside a specific amount of time for the meditation, this is all your choice and should be guided by what works for you and for your life.

Some rituals that have been helpful over the ages:

Lighting a white or gold candle. If you choose this, having a special or specific candle is usually recommended.
Burning incense (again choosing a specific scent is often helpful) although as you gain more experience with meditation you can change or shift that scent. Some choose the scent based on the desire for a specific energetic result. You may find some favorite scents that you associate with feeling peaceful or calm or feeling more empowered to reach the desired state of consciousness.
I begin all of my guided meditations with an instructional invocation:
Calm your mind, Open your Heart and Invite the Light.
Sitting quietly and receptively for some time before you start to meditate helps you quiet your mind and put everything behind you.

You can experiment with different rituals and see if they enhance the ease with which you become calm, and quiet your mind chatter so you can experience the presence of your Higher Self.

Setting aside a time daily to meditate, whether you choose to use mantrams, guided meditation experiences or affirmations or mindfulness techniques will empower you and enhance you.

Ageless Wisdom Mantram

A Mantram from the Ageless Wisdom that is often used to help you gain the wisdom of your Soul is:

May the energy of the Divine Self inspire me
and the Light of the Soul direct.
May I be led from darkness to Light,
from the unreal to the Real,
from death to Immortality.

Then, still holding your consciousness in the head and visualizing a sphere of deep electric blue, vivid and living, say the following words, endeavoring to realize their significance as you say them:

I stand in spiritual Being and, as a Soul, I serve.
I stand within the Light, and as the Light shines
throughout my form, I radiate that light.
I stand within the Love of God,
and as that Love streams through and from the heart,
I magnetise the ones I seek to aid.”
– Alice A. Bailey, Djwhal Khul “Discipleship in the New Age: Vol I” p.306

You can incorporate this mantram into a daily meditation, or it can be used as an affirmation of intention to connect with the Light of your Soul. This is a sacred time that you arrange, as much as possible, to be free of distractions or interruptions.

Regularity of the practice of meditation helps it become increasingly easy to give yourself the blessings and benefits of meditation. I can think of nothing else that provides so much opportunity for mastery, success, transformation and joy and takes such little effort.

Because meditation is such a powerful opportunity to grow and expand your consciousness, I recommend keeping a journal where you can record your insights and impressions. Writing or recording what you have received in mediation will be valuable to you over time so you can ponder, look back over, and appreciate the ways you have improved your life adventure.

Namaste,

Genevieve

An Invitation to Your Soul

Genevieve Gerard

An Invitation to Your Soul:

The First Step to Greater Soul Awareness

This article is part of my ongoing series on Soul Awareness and Soul Awakening.

Do you believe that you have a Soul?

Does having a living and empowering relationship with your Soul interest you?

My purpose in this article is to talk with you about your Soul. I want to expose you to ideas of how you can come into greater communication and a sense of connection and integration with your Soul so that your Soul’s power and magnificence can be a conscious part of your life.

Invite Your Soul

The journey to Soul consciousness is a great journey, but like all great journeys, it begins with a single step. You can choose to take that step today. You can choose to open your heart and your mind to the awareness of the presence of your Soul. This single step begins by choosing to be aware of what you experience or sense when you consciously invite your Soul to make itself known to you.

This step of invitation to your Soul may sound strange to you. After all, your Soul is an integral part of you. Why would it be important for you to issue consciously an invitation to your Soul to reveal itself to your consciousness? Consider if you will those moments, those times when you feel you may have experienced the presence of your Soul.

It may have been in a time of deep prayer or meditation. It could have been in a time of profound sorrow when the Soul revealed itself to you in the role of comforter. These fleeting times may well have been held reverently in your heart as a precious blessing that you don’t have the words to express.

That there are not adequate words in our language (or any language I know of in the world) to discuss the Soul is part of why the Soul is a mystery. It is amazing that the Soul, the seat of your Divine Spark and portal to your relationship with God should have so little written about it.

Soulful References

When I began teaching about consciously connecting with your Soul and developed guided meditation experiences to help people come into awareness of the presence of their Soul I thought I could find a vast resource in the Bible. However, I was astonished to find very little to reveal the nature of the Soul and nothing about how to increase your individual relationship and understanding of the nature of your Soul and its role in your life, which I know personally to be of profound importance.

The best resource I found in the Bible for understanding the role of the relationship with the Soul is found in the Book of Psalms, mostly in the Psalms of King David who clearly had the kind of personal relationship with the Soul that my spiritual practice and journey revealed to be so important. The Book of Psalms reveals the joy of a deep relationship with your Soul and how it supports your relationship with God.

As I expanded my search to find sources for the words to describe the Soul and its role and significant relationship in life, I discovered that although the Soul is an accepted dynamic or presence in life, it is most often referred to in poetry, or song. The Book of Psalms is a perfect example of this poetic language. I found this very vagueness to be intriguing. Unfortunately, expanding my search to even the very ancient spiritual literature of the Bhagavad Gita was not revealing.

Poets such as Hafiz, Rumi, and Omar Kham all write beautifully of the Soul. Certainly, the existence of the Soul is embedded in the human heart in some archetypal level of awareness. In much of the Western world, children went to bed saying the prayer: “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord, my Soul, to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take.” This simple child’s prayer speaks to your deep understanding of the Soul as the everlasting part of your being. It acknowledges the integral relationship between God and your Soul.

The one thing in the world, of value, is the active soul.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ageless Wisdom

My quest for greater understanding of the Soul and its role in relation to an individual life led me, as so much of my study does, to the Ageless Wisdom. There I found much discussion of the optimum relationship of the Soul with the personality, the mind, and the body. It is from that body of work that I learned that I could call upon the wisdom of my Soul as an integral part of the wholeness of my being.

Also throughout the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom are mantras to use in meditation to enhance the conscious relationship and integration of the Soul, many of which I have sprinkled through my articles. According to the Ageless Wisdom, identifying with your Soul, through the power of an “I Am” statement is extremely powerful. Ponder on this.

Likewise, in my years of guiding and teaching people to enter into greater experience and awareness of their Soul, I have found that stating clearly your intention when you meditate to receive the guidance or the wisdom of your Soul in addition to consciously issuing an invitation to your Soul is a significant step.

Developing a Relationship with Your Soul

Your Soul is an integral part of you, but do you pay attention to it? Developing a relationship with your Soul is like all relationships in life, it takes attention. The more you strengthen and enhance that relationship the more it is accessible to you at your need.

There are subtle yet significant factors related to the principles of free will that have an impact upon how your relationship with your Soul is nurtured. Thankfully, your Soul knows these and can guide you through the development of a greater and more profound relationship, once an invitation is issued.

As with all relationships, attention and constancy are beneficial. Although your Soul loves you completely, and unconditionally it requires nothing from you (as your “personality” self.) To move into the full potential of a Soul relationship and Soul integration of what is possible and available for you only takes providing the time and space for communication and awareness as a part of your daily meditation practice.

Making a connection with your chakra energy centers to your Soul is called, “building the Antahkarana.” This bridge of Light and energy makes your Soul connection more accessible.

A Simple Soul Connection Meditation

To begin I recommend sitting quietly and receptively. Take a deep breath through your nose and let it out completely through your mouth. Do this three times while you relax and release any stress and get centered.

Imagine your Soul as a radiating point of golden Light 3 to 6 feet above your head.

As you enter into a meditative state, it is important to “Calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.” Then identify with your Soul as an integral part of your being by saying this Soul Mantram with intention and affirmation.

I am the Soul
I am Light Divine
I am Love
I am Will
I am Fixed Design
I am the Soul infusing the personality
I am the personality Soul-infused
As the Unified Self, I invoke the One
The One in Whom we live and move and have our Being

Then sit quietly and receptively in meditation and ponder on these phrases.

I have found it very helpful to then record your thoughts and impressions in a journal. I have over the years received amazing revelations and understanding from this process.

I encourage you to use the practice of meditation to invite a connection with your Soul and develop a relationship and get to know the wonder of your Soul.

Namaste,

Genevieve

-Your Soul as your Teacher

This article is part of my ongoing series on the Soul.

Within each of us lies wisdom, an awareness of truth and more important knowledge of what direction we need to travel in our life to grow, to learn and to develop into who we truly are and what we can become, that is our Soul.

Our Soul is an integral part of our Self, but it is not usually that which most readily springs to our conscious mind when we ponder on and reflect upon ourselves. It remains the most profound and in many ways useful part of what for better words we may call our Spiritual Anatomy.

Our Spiritual Anatomy is usually not a part of our everyday consciousness because when we think of ourselves we most often think of our personality. Indeed, our personality is the vehicle that does the bulk of the “heavy lifting” as we move and function in the world of men. Indeed, our personality is usually a most significant part of our being as we live and move and have our being in any given incarnation.

When I admire the wonders of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in the worship of the creator.
– Mahatma Gandhi

The ancient wisdom tells us that our being is composed of a variety of vehicles that come together to form the fullness of life. These parts of ourselves are often referred to as bodies, and it is in the interplay and integration of these diverse parts of ourselves that we learn to live and express the fullness of our human nature. It is through this interplay, this integration that we learn that we grow, that we come into our full awareness and learn to express the fullness of what it means to be a human being.

It is through the integration of our physical body, our emotional body and our mental body that our personality fully develops and grows. But the adventure of becoming does not stop there. As we increase our awareness and our integration of Self the process of integration grows and expands as we begin to incorporate the fullness of our nature, that of our spiritual nature or our Soul.

It is through the emerging awareness of our Soul that we begin to understand and come to the joy of what it means to be a human being. It is through the “Touch of the Soul” that we begin to understand what a myriad of spiritual paths have taught throughout the ages, that as human beings we are a spark of the Divine. It is through becoming aware of our Soul that we can begin to manifest the fullness of this miracle we call life.

To start to understand your Soul as an integral part of yourself and begin to connect with your Soul as a part of your full being and your true nature, is the beginning of wisdom and the portal to real joy.”
– Genevieve Gerard

This part of your Self, your Soul, contains within you a jewel of the greatest value we can find in life. The ancients have long referred to it as “the jewel of the lotus.”

What is wonderful and glorious is that this jewel of great value is within you and available to you. It is yours to use and come to know. It is yours to call upon for the wisdom it possesses. It is yours to enjoy and express. It is yours as a teacher, as a guide and as a source of love, joy, and peace, the “peace that passes all understanding.”

It is through meditation that this part of your being becomes accessible to your mind, to your heart and your personality. This quest to learn to touch your Soul and to incorporate the fullness of your Soul ultimately into the fullness of your being is a journey that has been undertaken by wise men and sages throughout time and is available to reach by everyone.

I invite you to embark upon this journey of meditation to awareness, to wisdom to joy through meditation. As the ancient Chinese saying expresses “every great journey begins with a single step.” As you embark upon this step be assured that your Soul awaits your intention to know yourself to the fullness of your being with such a deep and abiding joy, and such a powerful and profound love, that the best in life is yet to come.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard
