Healing Messages 1.55 – Forgiving those who succumb to temptation

We do not always know the best way through a situation.

We may make decisions based on immediate reactions.

When I look back, I do so with more knowledge than I had at the time.

I have to forgive myself.

It is tempting to come to a quick conclusion.

It is tempting to make a decision on one’s own information alone.

Personal need rather than compassion for others may be the overriding emotion.

Even if I am the recipient of betrayal and unfairness and cruelty, I have learned to forgive.

It takes care of me to be forgiving.

I can find a path forward through the offensive behavior once I am not overwhelmed.

I can choose my own behavior.

I can release the pain as I gain control over my circumstances.

I can replace even my somatic memories as I release the idea that I am powerless.

I have power to forgive the short-sighted and cruel actions toward me.

I can fill my heart with self-appreciation.

I can overcome the horrors of abandonment.

I can companion myself with what I love to do.

I can completely change my surroundings through forgiving.

I can “outlove” the actions taken against me.

I associate myself with the uplifted nature that is possible for me.

I leave those behind to deal with their own self-forgiveness.

I have higher work to do, unencumbered by the pain of the past.

I love me, I love me. I love me.

I have become stronger through my rigorous conviction that I can be free.

I release others to become stronger, too.

Healing Messages 1.52 – Ask the question

How can I best contribute? How can I best serve?

There is a way to employ your gifts and talents and skills in uplifting ways which are beneficial to others.

This is the most satisfying work you can have.

It is fulfilling to use your talents and skills.

Since we live in a Universe Which Loves Us, we are meant to spend our time in satisfying and uplifting ways.

Because it is always beneficial to do uplifting work, we are naturally led to a combination which is most harmonious for us.

When we release ourselves from total focus on the daily grind, we make room to ask the question.

Asking the question gives us a moment to pause.

We take a deep breath and allow space for a new idea to take shape.

When we do this repeatedly, the Universe knows we are listening to It.

Our consistent practice of asking the question and listening within creates a different frequency for our life.

Suddenly, we are more than our immediate surroundings.

We are more than our job, our income, our outside status.

We are connecting to our unlimited resources within.

This connection is what adjusts what needs to change in our life.

All we need to do, is to continue listening within and then take the tiny steps as directed.

In the overview of the Universe, they are all tiny steps, even though some of them may require courage on our part.

We feel the perfect alignment of trust and action when we do this.

We are being connected to what is most beneficial and enjoyable for us as we align with how the Universe sees us.

It does the work.

We experience the uplifting results.

Healing Messages 1.51 – Giving myself the space

I have removed myself from a place where I can be hurt to a place where I can be remarkable.

I have given myself the space.

It is so different being conscious of the sensation instead of just “numbing out”.

I have permission to do all the things I love all the time.

I can write, draw, sing, be inspired, sew, quilt, knit, weave, read.

And it is all OK.

No particular priorities.

Just whatever feels like doing next.

I rotate through all of part of my activities as I am moved to do so.

Everything gets done, but most importantly, it is all done with great joy.

I have my own dynamic, my own rhythm.

I dance my own dance and I sing my own song.

And if you hear it, well and good, and if you do not hear it, I am still dancing and singing.

I am overflowing with gratitude for coming up out of a deep and dark despair.

Every time I have done something for myself, it has added a little more joy, a little more light, a little more confidence.

I move in the light of a great love.

I live in the confidence of not being wrong!

My body is not wrong.

My feelings are not wrong.

My food is not wrong.

Everything fits when it is not wrong.

I have the space to be my great and grand self.

My creativity is my life.

I am living in creative ecstasy.

I have learned how to release myself from the negative past by finding my happy place.

It is a moment of peace, in a breath, which makes the connection.

My happy place is a place of peace.

I find the peace through inner listening.

In the peace, there is quiet.

I am satisfied, quiet, within the listening.

I feel an impulse, an urge to do something.

It is a tiny step.

I move toward a project.

I take a tiny step and move to another project.

I am always inspired by creativity.

It is my happy place.

It feeds my soul and allows me to nourish others.

I notice what I am drawn toward.

Fabric, painting, weaving.

I move in succession.

Drawing, sewing, embroidery, knitting.

There is always something new and beautiful to play with.

All the pretty colors and textures.

It sounds simple, but it meets a deep need.

Healing Messages 1.48 – How I ask the question determines the answer

I was participating in a group and making good progress in my own study.

During a meeting, I was asked a question which led me to the past, and I found myself answering in terms which I thought I had already released.

When I gave myself some space, I realized that I have, indeed, made the progress.

I immerse myself in the world I am creating and I live there.

By answering the question in a way that led me back into the past, I experienced the past once again.

I now know to consider where the question is coming from.

Will my answer be true to the new world which I inhabit, or will it lead me to my old patterns?

Can I be perceptive enough to recognize the symptoms that are triggered during the question?

Will I be able to reorient myself to the present and answer by reinforcing where I am now?

The things that happened in the past caused me to leave it.

Nothing which takes me back to the past should be allowed in my current thinking.

When I have more experience in my new world, perhaps I will be able to deal with both the past and present.

Right now, I choose to remain alert to the present.
