  • Release your fear

    Healing Message 1.9 – Release your fear

    When you release your fear, what do you have room for?

    My old patterns ran me around in a circle.

    As I have replaced fears and worries and concerns with moments of inner peace, I am creating room for more uplifting ideas.

    Each breath of peace creates space for a message.

    As I continue quietly, the message comes as a feeling.

    This gentle and persistent feeling returns over and over again.

    Sometimes I am guided to take action.

    It is always a tiny step.

    I may wait for a long time to feel the nudge to take a tiny step.

    That is the right time.

    Many tiny steps move me to a different place.

    A place without fear.

    I can contemplate my peace and find comfort.

    I can find a new direction.

    It unfolds before me from within.

    It creates space to live and work and play.

    I have new associates and new associations.

    I live my life in new terms.

    I release my fear and guilt.

    I revel in new freedom.

    I have joyous new expression.

    I attract new, uplifting connections.

    I share what I love to do.

    Others feel the peace and are uplifted.

  • In the Divine

     Healing Message 1.7 In the Divine

    Everything is always in its right place in the Divine.

    Every idea in Divine consciousness is complete.

    Every idea which is conscious of the Divine is complete.

    In the Mind of God, we are all complete and whole.

    The Divine is not in sympathy with confusion – It has no confusion and neither do we when we release our opinions and experiences and lsiten for It’s Guidance.

    We are not in sympathy with the various emotions, responses and interpretations.

    Oneness means that our experience in the nowness of the Divine is peaceful and calm.

  • Monitor your investments

    Healing Messages 1.6 Monitor your investments

    I am not invested in what was done to me.

    I was heavily invested in it for decades.

    Gradually I realized that I was intensifying my pain.

    I did have to recognize my negative surroundings, and then I had to create better ones.

    At that point, and it has taken me quite a while, I had to keep adding to my good surroundings by divesting myself of my opinions about my experiences.

    If you are in negative circumstances, turn within to discover better ones.

    You are precious.

    You are beautiful.

    You are a radiant individualized expression of the Most High.

    It is possible to move out of overwhelming sadness and tragedy and trauma.

    You have to hold to that fact and listen within.

    As you invest in the fact of Good, you will begin attracting more of It to you.

    It may not be the good you expected, but it will continue to define Itself to you until you can see It.

    You will be led to place yourself on different ground which leads you into a new way of looking at your life.

    Invest in a new, spiritual vocabulary.

    Create new experiences for yourself and move out of your past.

    Learn new skills.

    Discover what you love to do.

    Be fulfilled.

    Be creative.

    Work from the inside out.

    Let what is within you create what is around you.

    Invest differently, invest in your intuition. 

    Trust it.

    Be true to it.

    Create from your integrity.

    Build your new life on being faithful to what you love.

    Discover that from within.

    You are worth the investment to discover what is most valuable about you.

    It is okay to discover what you love and to do it.

    When you align with what you love, a beautiful life will pour out for you.

    It will feel the most natural you have ever felt.

    You will feel at home, and blessed and uplifted.

    Turst this.

    You will add to the beauty of your surroundings with uplifting companionship.

    You will find more stillness, more certainty, more conviction, more clarity, from within.

    You will become an attracting force for those who can most benefit from your work.

    Invest in what is within yourself, within your being.

  • A Project List of Wealth

     Healing Message 1.5 A Project List of Wealth

    My project list is my wealth list.

    It showcases my wealth of ideas.

    As I love and nurture each one in its own time, I am creating my own wealthy life.

    I get to enjoy the imagery, the creative process, if and when I decide to develop one of them.

    I enjoy visiting my projects mentally.

    I feel the excitement which caused them to appear in my mind.

    I feel the peace they came in on in my mind.

    I just love them and tend to them as I enjoy them.

    I may create some art in my sketchbook.

    I may write a meditation or a list of affirmations.

    When it gets to the list of affirmations stage, I am pretty sure they are going to become an  inspirational series.

    I love the feeling of going about my day, and then suddenly deciding I have to get a piece of watercolor paper out.

    Then I know that I will be making some ATCs  (Artist Trading Cards).

    Or I will pass a stack of art supplies and feel impelled to pull out the watercolor pencils or another media.

    I found myself stocking up on sketchbooks a month ago because we were in front of the art supply store on the way home and had the “blue wagon”  to carry a sewing machine to get repaired and I could put a whole stack of sketchbooks in it.

    I made a couple of samples from the new sketchbooks to try out my black-tinted watercolors and now I am creating an art series.

    I have added a column to my spreadsheet of projects to celebrate when I take action on one of them.

    All this celebration of wealth adds up to an enjoyable day of luxury.

    I get to play with my ideas, even if it is just for a moment here and there.

    I enter into my realm of joy and relaxation through creativity.

    Everything else gets done.

    I am myself with my wealth.

  • The Benefits of Failure

    Healing Message 1.4 – The Benefits of Failure

    Do not underestimate the benefits of failure.

    Failure in the world can lead you to look for something else, something  new.

    If the ways  of the world which surround you are not working for you, then there is a different way, a new way, and you must find it in order to succeed.

    You may find yourself leaving your current situation after many years of trying to make it work.

    You may find yourself taking steps that do not make sense to anyone else, and yet, you feel impelled to take them.

    That is your spiritual identity coming into play.

    As you pass out of one situation into a different kind of situation, and it feels better, you realize that you have been led through your discomfort to find what works for you.

    So the period of failure was actually a blessing.

    In your search, it is necessary to go within, to listen for what only you can hear.

    From right where you are there is Guidance.

    There is a Higher Purpose for your life.

    This is what you are being impelled to discover.

    Through your pain and discomfort, you are led to turn to something new.

    I thought I was doing everything I was  supposed to.

    In fact, I was.

    But it was not what my Higher Power had  planned for me.

    I had to fail at many things, even though it looked as though I was doing well.

    I had to face jealousy, criticism, betrayal, anguish.

    I had to find a place where I was acceptable, even welcomed, recognized, appreciated.

    I didn’t know such a place existed.

    I always had to find it inside my own mind.

    And gradually it dawned on me that what I found there was real.

    But it had to exist in another situation.

    And it did.  I was led there.

    Through my isolation, I had space to discover what was real and good for me.

    I had the opportunity to create what I loved.

    And it is manifesting on the outside.

    My life is the inside-out of what it once was.

    I am loved, cherished adored.

    I am accepted, recognized, appreciated.

    Even though I enjoy living in my new beautiful surroundings, I know that I am in an infinite space of Divine blessings.

    I would never tie myself to what people think of me even now.

    Be faithful to your Inner Voice.

    Let it continue you to move you into higher and higher realms.

    If you are the only one who can see them, so be it.

    Through the faithfulness of your work, others many come to see the way to their higher realms.

    There is a lot of space in the Infinite.

    There is a lot of good work to be done in this Divine space.

    When you are called  it may look as though your life is breaking down.

    That could  be a good sign.

    Do the work.

    Listen  within.

    Find out.

  • Spiritual Healing

    Healing Messages 1.3 Spiritual Healing

    It is helpful to me to think of spiritual healings as gifts.

    They occur often enough through spiritual means and observations that we can get some clues about them.

    Spiritual healings happen to lots of different people.

    Healings happen to people of any age.

    Healings happen all over the planet.

    Healings happen to people who are religious.  Healings happen to people who are not religious at all.

    Healings happen to people who read and study spiritual literature.

    Healings happen to people who have never read any spiritual literature.

    Healings happen to people from many different sources and practices.

    I am grateful for all the healings which happen.

    I am grateful for the many ways that people are lifted up and inspired and comforted and freed from pain.

    It is wonderful that there are so many practices which meet so many needs in different ways.

    I am grateful to be part of an uplifting healing and comforting world phenomenon.

    I am grateful to be led to resources through media, through inner listening, books, poetry, art, and dance and to receive uplifting ideas and to observe their healing effects.

    We are all in need of comfort and healing in some way.

    It is good that there are so many different ways that people can be uplifted and relieved of pain.

    The wisdom traditions through the ages, the herbalist traditions, the cultural traditions throughout the world exist because they have some record of meeting real needs.

    I am grateful for what each one brings to our attention.

    We may need a certain practice at a particular time.

    Later, we may find our way to a different practice.

    We may discover a practice for ourselves through inner listening.

    Each time, we are contributing to upliftment and comfort.

    I am grateful for all the ways that we can find healing.

  • Have No Resentment

    Healing Message 1.2 Have no resentment

    Oh, so this is the way I am to contribute to healing knowledge.

    My purpose is to solve the puzzle of healing sexual trauma which occurred during my  childhood.

    I recovered some of my surpressed memories when I was fifty years old, and more for the next two decades.

    I went through the many stages of dealing with shock and rage and frustration and despair.

    I found many tools and techniques to aid me along my healing path.

    I am here to share these, and to encourage you along your healing path.

    I have come to the conclusion that resentment always slows me down.

    I have enough proof through the progress which is now evident through my new, freer life, to remind myself to release resentment every time it occurs.

    After this release, I am free to continue to heal and to share the resources which have been so uplifting to me.

    I have been on this healing path for so long, and I feel so much better, that even the sudden onset of resentment does not keep me from my work for very long.

    I remind myself of what I am here to do, and I start doing it.

    I take my first tiny step and after that I begin to gain momentum.

    Soon, I am back up to speed with my new, consistent happiness.

    I continue devoting myself to writing, drawing, creating ebooks, and listening for more ways to share the possibilities of freedom.

    This practice removes any last tendencies for resentment, until it surfaces once again, and I take the steps to remove myself from it.

    I am grateful to learn the value of consistent practice in the form of immersing myself in uplifting and calming affirmations and meditations.

    I follow my established practices of writing in my journal, drawing, taking my newest tiny step to learn technology.

    I keep expanding my skills and my horizons.

    I am in a continual state of spiritual growth as I attend to my mission and purpose.

    It is resulting in a more expressive way to live, through sharing and celebrating.

    It is a great contrast to isolating and despairing.

    We all belong to the Universe Which Loves Us and Cares for Us.
