Remember Who You Truly Are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

A Meditation To Explore Who You Truly Are

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be Open To Your Soul

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Namaste,

Genevieve
