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

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

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

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

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

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

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

That step is surrender.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

The Forgotten Truth That Will Set You Free

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

Each of us has within us a sense of what is true, what is real.

It comes from deep within and no amount of teaching or preaching can ever really dislodge that – deep inner voice.

It may be a truth you have rarely thought of. On the other hand, it may well be an expression of the wisdom of your higher Self or Soul.

It is an acceptance of what you simply know.

How do you know, that you know, what you know?
– The epistemological question

After a lifetime of trying to explain and justify some truths that I just know to be true, I have concluded that these truths are preconscious and archetypal and form an underpinning for all of our awareness and all of our knowledge.

These truths resonate to the very depth of your being, spring forth as a comfort and assurance from your Soul, and give credence to the expression “the truth shall set you free.”

It is interesting that when these truths are expressed to you, they resonate and somehow, almost mystically, you know them to be true. There is an inner recognition that says “yes, that is true.”

When a concept has been revealed to me that has that “ring of truth” to it, I realize that it seems to be something I have always known, even if I didn’t have the words to express it, or had never realized it before consciously. Perhaps I had thought it, or even acted upon it, but never put it into words.

I have learned over the experiences of a lifetime to trust that inner wisdom, that clarion ring of truth without exception. It has never led me astray. I invite you to use that test for all that I teach and write and encourage you to keep an open mind and heart, but disregard anything, if you like, that fails that test of inner knowing or truth.

I invite you to enter into that inner seat of wisdom where you recognize and know the truth. I encourage you to apply that standard to all teachings you come in contact with.

What is so profound and powerful about reaching that true point of knowing is that it is very freeing, giving understanding to the words, “the truth shall set you free.” From that center, in the core of your being, you can see clearly and old illusions and glamour’s fall away.

I believe this recognition of truth is even more profound than a statement of faith, for when your faith is enfolded in the armor of knowing, it expands.

One of The Forgotten Ways to Find A Core of Truth

I am writing to you today because it seems to me one of the forgotten ways to find that core of truth is in the phrase “Love Never Ends.” This truth seems to resonate with most people, even if it is not understood logically.

We love life, not because we are used to living,
but because we are used to loving.
– Fredrick Nietzsche

This is not a new idea. St. Paul in his epistle to the Corinthians, in his now famous definition of love, writes in 1 Corinthians 13:8 (ESV) “Love never ends;” he goes on to list a number of things that will pass away that are esteemed, and goes on to advise in 1 Corinthians 14 to, “make love your aim.” Why? Because he knew and understood the real truth, that love is eternal.

Love is born on the wings of the Soul and
serves as an energetic bond between Souls throughout time.
– Genevieve Gerard

Love is not composed of matter but rather is energy. As such, it is not limited by that which is made of matter, such as the body of the one who first stimulated the blossoming of love. Although the body is temporal, the love lives on.

When you love, in the full assurance of the eternal nature of love, you are free to love unconditionally. You are granted a perspective to forgive the ones you love, which is its own healing and freeing action. The comfort and strength that awareness of the eternal nature of love gives is amazing.

I believe Love comes into being through a Soul connection. Your Soul, and the Souls of your loved ones, are the eternal part of your being. This has a profound impact on empowering your love with the Divine Love that “bears all things, believes all things, and endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians 13:7.

Recognition of the truth that love never ends, frees you to love without confusing love with attachment or need. It sets you free in your love relationships to shed your fears of losing your loved ones. That, in turn, releases you from the worries that may, all too often, consume your thoughts about those you love.

Everlasting Love Meditative Moment

Begin by sitting quietly and calmly, bringing your emotions to a place of deep and profound peace.

Quiet your mind and let the chatter fade away as you drop self-judgment and self-criticism.

Assert your intention to have the wisdom of your Soul revealed to you in a way that is clear and provides insight and direction in your life.

As you do this, take the time to open your heart energy and be receptive to the Love that your Soul brings to you.

To do this you can visualize your Soul as a radiating point of golden Light about three feet above your head at the tips of your fingers if you raise your hands above your head.

Invite the Light of your Soul to provide clarity, insight, and truth. As you invite your Soul into your life as a source of love, wisdom, and guidance, it is also important to understand that you Soul is an integral part of the wholeness of your being.

From that point of radiating Light visualize the gentle descent of Soul energy into the top of your head (crown chakra), illuminating your mind, infusing and enlightening you.

Now visualize the gentle descent of golden white Soul energy through the top of your head down into your heart, gently expanding your heart, infusing and enlightening you with Love.

As this energy circulates from your Soul down your chakras to your heart and back up again, be open and receptive to the expansion in your awareness and understanding that this focus can bring.

Let your heart be healed and your mind comforted. Open yourself to the love that is the nature and being of your Soul.

Ponder for a moment on those you have loved, whether still with you or not, whether in their body or not and open your heart, your mind and your Soul to the sweet depth and comprehension of what it means that “Love Never Ends.”

Open your life to the freedom to love unconditionally, that comes when you release love from need and expectations, and open your whole self to the beauty and blessing of loving, resting in the glory and fullness of the eternal bond of Love.

Take this moment to appreciate and enjoy the true joy of love that never ends. Let yourself heal from any sorrow or fears that may have previously limited your ability to love freely.

Know that, “there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.”

Know that healing comes from this Divine eternal Love. This Divine Everlasting Love is your forgotten truth. Ponder on this!

Experience the amazing healing and freedom that comes when you open your heart, mind and Soul to the blessing and the realization that Love Never Ends.

I invite and encourage you to find this forgotten truth of everlasting love and let your heart be comforted and freed by the eternal nature of love.

Namaste,

Genevieve
