This is all you need to let go of the rubbish!

I now call upon Archangel Michael of the blue flame sword to cut all cords of energy based on fear between me and any event, person, memory, emotion or lifetime that no longer serves me. I ask that this be done in all directions of time of space. I ask that this work be continued until it is entirely completed. Even in asking I know that it is done. In deepest gratitude, and so it is.

As you sow...

In meditation recently I sat before some great deities and waited for the message they wanted to share with me.

I was hoping for specific instruction or insight that would tell me what was next on my path in concrete terms.

What I heard was...

 As you sow so shall you reap.

I thought it was my mind playing tricks on me, running this well worn adage through my mind rather than letting me experience real connection.

But then, what is more true and profound than this? Do I curse the world on one hand, and expect miracles in the next? Do I yell at other drivers on the road then call for peace in my meditation? Do I take more than I need and then ask for more from an already generous Universe? Do I think it is ok to speak u kindly of others and then become enraged when others do it to me?

The answer to all of theses is YES. I behave in one way and expect something different to come to me. How foolish.

The immense power of this statement, as you sow so shall shall you reap, is appearing in my life on a daily basis. I cannot live half heartedly as a spiritual being, dedicating time to meditation and then raging against the world in my daily life.

This is not about a system of reward. I do not believe that it is like depositing money in the bank, this idea of living in loving kindness. It is far deeper. I seek peace, and as such I must give peace. Then, even when I am kind and receive pain, abuse, fear etc back it doesn't matter. I am living in peace and as such the world becomes a peaceful place to me.

Winter Solstice meditation

Close your eyes, relax, and breathe deeply. Let your breathing become slow, deep, easy. Relax and continue breathing deeply and gently as...We enter the time of the greatest dark.
It is the dark of the longest night.
...the dark of the cold universe between the stars and planets.
...the dark of the sea,
...the dark of the womb.
Wrap this darkness gently about you like a comfortable blanket.
Float gently now in its depths.
(Pause)
Grow here, nourished by an invisible cord that connects you to the Source of all life.
Floating gently in the dark...
Softly rocking in the dark...
(Longer Pause)
And though it is dark, we realize that what surrounds us is not empty, but -- like the womb -- full of life. Take a moment now to sense the swirling, nurturing energy of the dark.
(Pause)
And now, as the energy increases, it gives birth to the smallest spark imaginable, the spark of new life.
See that spark now as it glows, watch that spark now, watch it as it grows. Glowing brighter and brighter, it grows into a flame. And as you look at this flame, its light fills you with warmth, with love. And as you feel increased love and warmth within you, the visible intensity of the flame slowly diminishes and as it does, in its place, slowly becoming visible, is the outline of a present. This gift becomes more solid, until you can see its form clearly and see that it is wrapped in a glistening filament of light.
This gift has your name on it, inscribed in the glistening material. Still from some distance, you see your name now, on this gift. Even if you are near-sighted you have no trouble making out the letters, for you now have perfect vision.
Is your name written in a special color? Is the inscription special in any other way?
Approach your wrapped present now more closely. What shape is it? How big is it? What color is its wrapping?
Pick it up: is it light? heavy?
And now you unwrap your gift. How easy or difficult is it to unwrap?
You finish opening it now and you receive your gift.
What is it?
(Pause)
Look at it carefully. Experience it fully.
Accept it. Accept your gift with joy. Feel your heart warm with the love with which this gift is given to you.
And now, from your heart, send out gratitude for this gift, send out thanks for this gift to the Goddess, to Our Great Mother, to the Universe: to the Goddess who is the Universe -- both the dark and the light. Send out your thanks for this gift.
(Pause)
Now, if you wish, find a place to keep this gift, a place to put this gift, so you can keep it with you during our ritual now and, if you wish, take it with you when you leave the circle.
And now, bringing your special gift with you, be fully present in our circle.
Move your body. Open your eyes. Come back to this place and time.

Meditate on this

Aha!

Beneath the hard, ego-driven exterior resides your enLIGHTened truth. Greater than any fear, sweeter than any addiction, more real than any thing you see with your eyes. Breath it into being through the temple that is your Earthly being. Bring the physical body into balance and the Soul will start to sing with gratitude and awakening.

You are the reason for all the chaos

Right now, most likely, there are at least five things in your life that feel chaotic and out of your control...

BUT... Imagine if all that stressing, fighting, anxiety, sadness, anger, rage, and victim-ness was to stop and you could stand still and really know peace and choose the life that you live, choose the energy that you draw forth towards you.

Imagine that in the very act of not moving, being still, the world around you responds to your energy. Your energy changes - the world around you changes. Do you think the energy you live in is just random, just something you happened to wander in to? Of course not. You have prepared it. You have sent it forth, you manifest it in this very moment. Every second you are generating your reality. Indeed, can’t you see?

You are fumbling through the world half blind, for in the movement and chaos of everyday life all you are generating is more of the same. Be still. Meditate. Plan your life energetically. In this we mean not to say like a take-away menu you sit down and order what you want to happen each day (although perhaps you will get there one day!). What we are suggesting, dear ones, is this. 

Your energy, the energetic web you spin, is what you live in,  it is the energy all around you, it is the energy that other people pick up on as you enter their space, that which the trees and plants and the birds and absolutely everything you interact with ‘reads’ when you approach. Now of course, just like you, most humans bump into one another energetically without a clue of what they are doing,  of what they are taking or giving. We challenge you now to wake up to yourself as an energetic being! 

You spin a web, you live that web! Do you understand? You are the creator of the reality you live, and we mean this in no abstract way. Become conscious of the web you weave. Start to see it in all your interactions, practice seeing it, feeling it, even if at first you see and feel nothing. It is something you will quickly become sensitive too. Develop this sense. It is more important than any other sense you have, for the others merely report on life. This sense determines your life! Be free of not understanding why your life is the way it is.

Meditation

Meditation is the always eternal key to accessing your divine self. Here is another way you can foucs your energy and attention in meditation...

Use the OM sound. This can be both internal and external but I recommend you spend at least some of the time making the OM note out loud. Inhale (stomach rises) and as you exhale (stomach falls) pushing out the breath, make the OM sound for as long as you comfortably can. Carry the breath to the very end of the note so that you do not stop short but linger the sound for as long as possible. This sound is like a bell sounding. It clears and clarifies and it is particularly good when you sense you need to cleanse energy around you.

This video may assist you to understand the power of this sound.

Full moon ceremony

*This meditation can be done at any time. So even if the full moon has passed take this opportunity to surrender and release.

To prepare, write a list of ALL the limiting beliefs, thoughts, ideas and emotional wounds that you are ready to release. You can add to this peoples, places and things that no longer serve you and give the intention to lovingly release them. To begin the meditation, wait until you know you will not be disturbed.

Ideally you will be able to see the moon. But if that is not possible, use memory recall to capture an image in your mind. Sit, with your spine straight (phones off and door locked) in a space in which you feel peaceful. Light a candle if you cannot see the moon. Otherwise let the moonlight illuminate you. You may feel like burning incense. Incense cleanses space. Make sure to dispose of the ash after you finish meditating.

Begin by placing the list by the moon/candlelight. Breath in and out, slowly and easily, for at least three breaths and then allow your breathing to return to normal. Focus on the light, or close your eyes, and with each out breath give your heaviness to the light. Feel yourself breathing it out. With each inbreath feel the energy of the moon entering your body and filling every cell with light. Do this for as long as you feel guided to, but for at least 10 minutes. Know that everything you have written on your list has been heard and is being drawn out by the light of the transforming moon energy. She is cleansing, nurturing and renewing you. All that you are releasing is being replaced with vitality and new life.

At this point you may choose to ceremonially burn the list or hold onto it to remember what you have let go. Thank the moon for her magnificent transformative power. Be full of gratitude for all that you are and all that you have.

How to get from where you are to where you want to be.

Meditate. Meditate. Meditate.

Part 2

Reside in the place of peace.

Retreat, always, before moving outwards into the world.

At first this may take time,

but as you learn the skills of Divine Sight - Insight -

You will know instantly where you should be

in any given moment, what steps to take.

what path to follow.

Your insight is enormous,

far greater than ordinary human vision could possibly be.

Be not limited by your unwillingness to surrender the darkness

of your human sight.

Close your human eyes and the light is revealed.

You must close your eyes to the world around you

to know the truth of it.

It is all there to be seen, if you are willing to walk,

temporarily, in the darkness.

Like all new vision,

there must be a time of emptiness,

of adjustment to the new level of light -

like stepping out of the darkness into

the brightness of a new day.

Do not be afraid of this time of adjustment.

Know that it is God's work,

and your own,

for you are adjusting your eyes to your true vision.

In losing your sight

you gain your true INSIGHT.

You gain the awareness of what actually is.

You are no longer fooled or tricked by superficial sight,

and you are no longer lost in the confusion of human life,

which attempts to blind you with an overwhelming

whirl of distraction and illusion.

You will know what is real and what is a poor imitation

of God's love.

Retreat,

Go within,

Know yourself in the darkness

as the human vision is replaced with Divine Light.

Do not seek to hurry the process in fear.

All is exactly as it should be.

The Divine hand of God is waiting for you.

Peace

With peace in your heart all things are possible. You create the lessons in your life through fear and lack of peace. Imagine if all that was to stop and you could stand still and really know peace and choose the life that you live, choose the energy that you draw forth towards you. Imagine that in the very act of not moving, being still, the world around you responds to your energy. Your energy changes - the world around you changes. Do you think the energy you live in is just random, just something you happened to wander in to? Of course not. You have prepared it. You have sent it forth, you manifest it in this very moment.

Every second you are generating your reality. Indeed, can’t you see? You are fumbling through the world half blind, for in the movement and chaos of everyday life all you are generating is more of the same. Be still. Meditate. Plan your life energetically. In this we mean not to say like a take-away menu you sit down and order what you want to happen each day (although perhaps you will get there one day!). What we are suggesting, dear ones, is this. Your energy, the energetic web you spin, is what you live in, it is the energy all around you, it is the energy that other people pick up on as you enter their space, that which the trees and plants and the birds and absolutely everything you interact with ‘reads’ when you approach. Now of course, just like you, most humans bump into one another energetically without a clue of what they are doing, of what they are taking or giving. We challenge you now to wake up to yourself as an energetic being!

You spin a web, you live that web! Do you understand? You are the creator of the reality you live, and we mean this in no abstract way. Become conscious of the web you weave. Start to see it in all your interactions, practice seeing it, feeling it, even if at first you see and feel nothing. It is something you will quickly become sensitive too. Develop this sense. It is more important than any other sense you have, for the others merely report on life. This sense determines your life! Be free of not understanding why your life is the way it is.

WAKE UP! You are energy.

You impact on the world and the world impacts on you, so therefore choose the impact you want to have. What life do you want to lead? Well, create it! Be the change you want to see. Wake each morning and greet your energetic web, and cleanse it as you cleanse yourself and see what you are creating for yourself. If you don’t like it, change it, fill it up with all that you truly want. But we remind you, this cannot be done in the hustle and bustle. Make time. Just as you must make time to eat, make time to cleanse your web.

Watch the world magically transform before your eyes as you awake to the glory of your own true nature. Be the true magnificence of your being and generate the life you were meant to live!

Ham Sa - I am that I am

Everywhere at this time, although it has always been this way, there are people aching for peace. They may not recognise that this is their true heart's desire but it is the truth. Peace brings an end to longing. It brings happiness, joy, light, love into the now moment. It resides only in NOW time. So we say, look around you and be grateful in your heart for every little thing that you see, for every opportunity to learn that will cross your path this day, for every chance you are given to offer God's love to the world, to live in the light.

Reside nowhere else. Think about nothing else but, 'How can I love the world today? How can I spread light into the darkness?' Then everything else falls away. There is nothing else. The self merges with the God light. There is no separation. There is no me, me, me. There is no desire, no longing, for in this space you have absolute fulfilment. Your true heart's desire has been met with something far greater than you could ever have possibly dreamed.

You are empowered to change the world in this very second. Do not wait upon someone to give you a task worthy of God's love; you are that task in every moment! You are the beacon of light, the messenger of God, through your actions and your words and your deeds. Allow all to know their God-self through the light and love you pour forth, through true compassion which is effortless.

There is never, 'I have nothing to give'.

When you allow yourself to be infilled with God's love there is infinite love, infinte energy, you will runneth over with the light, and the more you offer to illuminate the world, the more and more and more you receive. For you are not separate. You are whole and complete in God's love. Forget the self. You are the Divine-self that you seek.


You are that ONE.
