  • Self-sufficiency in Spirit

    Healing Messages 1.87 – Self-sufficiency in Spirit

    Whenever I need to know something, I have come to trust doing it in Spirit.

    There are so many things to know, and I cannot be sure I can know them all.

    I have chosen to listen within and to be led to what I need to know.

    This is proving to be a much faster and a more trustworthy way to find things out.

    The peace of inner listening shuts out all the noise of so many competing opinions, memories and experiences.

    The calm idea is the one we notice.

    It comes to us wherever we are, in the middle of chaos or at any time of day or night.

    It overrides disappointment, circumvents the need to “know somebody”, and aligns with whatever is needed in a timely manner.

    It gives me security to know that I have access to one calm idea.

    I love the feeling of connection to Spirit.

    I am able to get calm, and to think clearly.

    I am put in contact with the ideas which are most relevant to me.

    This may happen immediately, or it may take place more gradually.

    I have come to find that it is a sure thing.

    Any fear of interruption is disproven by the ability to listen within.

    The next tiny step appears, is guided and taken.

    Our Higher Self is always in communion with Spirit.

    Our sufficiency is always provided by Spirit.

    We stay active in awareness as we maintain our dedication and commitment.

    We take care of our daily needs in full appreciation of our divine relationship.

    We resume our devotion as we return to inner listening.

    Our greater peace gets things done without tension.

    Our true, deep needs are supplied by our spiritual connection.

  • Purity in consciousness removes us from judging

    Healing Messages 1.86 – Purity in consciousness removes us from judging

    When we realize we want to live an uplifting life, we must be kind to ourselves and to others.

    We must look for what is good.

    As we become conscious of what is good, we want to practice it.

    Everyone is dealing with various circumstances and sometimes they are very challenging.

    We are not in a position to know what they are, so we have no right to judge.

    I began to be more conscious of my thoughts about myself and others, and to stop judging.

    I discovered other ways I could uplift my thought and to be more appreciative and respectful.

    I became more respectul of situations which, although they did not make sense, upset me.

    I began telling myself, “It is perfectly understandable”, even when I did not understand.

    That took the pressure off me and slowed down my panic attacks.

    I knew that others did not know me or what was going on in my life, so they couldn’t judge me.

    Over time, this led me to stop judging myself.

    I amassed a large spiritual vocabulary of qualities I wanted to express.

    These began replacing criticism and judgement.

    I realized I could add to good by assigning spiritual qualities to others, as well.

    I became much more compassionate.

    I got in conversations with strangers and learned about their lives.

    Their unselfish nature and actions were amazing.

    There were many stories of caring for young people who were lost and drifting.

    They created stability and those young people were able to grow up safe.

    People were involved in their local communities and were making significant changes.

    They were putting their lives on the line for others.

    There were many times I received help in unexpected ways.

    I was able to contribute to others as I became aware of them.

    I gained more self-respect through my conscious awareness and action.

  • As soon as we choose to, we move ourselves into Light.

    Healing Messages 1.85 – As soon as we choose to, we move ourselves into Light.

    Light is a permanent condition.

    It exists unconditionally in the spiritual Universe.

    As we discover the value of living an unconditional life, we move toward Light.

    Light does not judge us.

    It just shines.

    We, too, can release ourselves from judgment, and just shine.

    We can work to become the most beautiful, upstanding person in our community.

    We do this by not imposing limitations on others.

    We are all conditioned by our circumstances and environment.

    We have no right to judge others based on their circumstances and environment.

    We can help relieve bad conditions, but we cannot judge others based on them.

    As we move ourselves into the Light of awareness, we can see solutions.

    Our compassion releases us to partner with those who are suffering to discover the best solutions.

    We discover skills, abilities and talents as we get to know those who are suffering.

    We find ways to increase skills in order to apply the abilities and talents right here in our community.

    No one chooses to suffer.

    We can respect that and move all of us toward Light.

    Our willingness to see all of us in Light leads us to the best solutions.

    We focus our energies on solutions, not judgements.

    Our desire to be beautiful and uplifting leads us to create more beauty and upliftment.

    Everyone can share these characteristics through our unlimiting view.

    As we remove judgement, there is more room for Light.

    We are led to take the many tiny steps which lead to Light for everyone.

    We are all privileged to create the Light of well-being for all.

  • Wealthy in Peace

    Healing Messages 1.84 – Wealthy in Peace

    I am wealthy in peace.

    My wealth is created through my connection to my Higher Power.

    The ideas which give me peace are ways to serve.

    I am grateful for the healing support which I received.

    I am grateful to share what will help others to heal.

    As we reach out for healing, to find peace, we are gifted with a connection to the Infinite Universe.

    We feel this connection.

    It comes from within.

    As we sit in stillness, we feel the peace permeate throughout our entire body, mind, heart and soul.

    In the peace, we feel a message of wholeness.

    This requires a daily, hourly practice.

    We are comforted in this place of stillness.

    We are able to listen for a tiny step.

    Our tiny step will take us to a new view of ourselves.

    Each time we take a new tiny step, our view of ourselves is elevated.

    We learn how to live in a new Universe.

  • Past relationships

    Healing Messages 1.83 – Past relationships

    If a past relationship does not yield progress, there is no reason to continue it.

    We are learning to live in the present moment with all the experiences it provides.

    There are some past relationships we have no control over, such as death.

    We can heal the past if we so choose.

    There are other past relationships with the living.

    We can also heal those relationships, even if we do not choose to participate in them.

    It may be our choice or it may be the other person’s choice.

    Whatever causes us to revisit the past without making any progress is not useful.

    We are intended to live well as we progress out of negative memories or past programming.

    We are creating our new experiences in a new way.

    That is a choice, too.

    Whatever takes up room in thought is where we are living.

    I am learning to release past relationships as I release past negative memories.

    I am gaining freedom in my new relationship of loving myself.

    I love who I am.

    It makes me so happy to discover myself, the more I release the past.

    I love making room for new, uplifting experiences and supportive relationships.

    I support myself first by loving, loving, loving me.

    It is worth the effort to correct the past negative programming.

    A whole new life has opened up for me.

    I have a different career with previously unknown talents which I am developing.

    I am seen and appreciated.

    What a relief!

    I am finding my tribe, my people.

    I am so very grateful.

  • When your healing takes you into a new world

    Healing Messages 1.81 – When your healing takes you into a new world.

    My healing was not fast.

    It required that I go deep in order to address the issues which kept me in a pit of despair.

    As I gained a small hold on something better, I was able to move myself upward and out.

    This happened over and over again, and required practice in order for me to maintain my hold.

    Over the decades, (and yours does not have to take that long), I was able to refine certain practices which I will share with you.

    A deep listening breath, and many, many tiny steps created my new foundation and allowed me to overcome severe negative programming.

    In fact, it did not just raise me up to the level of a normal, manageable life.

    It kept going until I caught on to a much more powerful influence.

    I was able to discover the powerful statement that “I love me”.

    I was able to discover what I love to do and to give myself permission to do it.

    This kept breaking the hold of limiting negative programming.

    I explored everything that I loved that interested me.

    I gained so much happiness.

    Even the lingering brutal effects of abuse got so diluted over time, that I was able to trust myself in completely new surroundings.

    Building trust required a completely new set of experiences.

    I drew them toward me, proving the destruction of lingering negative influences.

    I even changed geographical locations which allowed me to gain new experiences with no previous associations.

    My freedom and happiness kept expanding.

    I actually feel entirely safe now.

    I continue to work from a deep breath, inner listening, and tiny steps.

    I have discovered there are no limitations.

    I am living in a new world which keeps expanding into more and more happiness.

    I know there is room for you here, too.

  • We move naturally toward Spirit, our home.

    Healing Messages 1.80 – We move naturally toward Spirit, our home.

    There is a place where we feel entirely at home.

    It goes beyond where we are habituated to living.

    It is a feeling.

    It comes to us when we are in Nature.

    It comes to us when we are engaged in the flow of doing something we love.

    It comes when we encounter a teaching which uplifts us.

    Our home in Spirit is uniquely comforting.

    We can feel this comfort at any time we turn to it.

    We become so at home in this new feeling of comfort that we notice anything which does not support it.

    We no longer feel compelled to endure what is not uplifting for us.

    We can tell the difference.

    I am loyal to what uplifts me.

    It is no longer useful for me to remain in an unhappy place.

    Not mentally, not emotionally, not physically.

    My natural home is in happiness, safety, security, confidence.

    I love coming home to this state of being.

    It has taken many tiny steps for me to trust the process of leaving the past behind.

    As I have taken my new steps, it has sometimes felt as though I was stepping out on air.

    What was there to support me?

    How could I count on what I did not know?

    And yet, I had to move forward.

    Remaining where I was was impossible.

    The Universe Who Loves Us has a wonderful place for us with satisfying, uplifting work.

    This is the new environment which is possible, and it is entirely natural to move toward it.

  • Upgrading my life

    Healing Messages 1.79 – Upgrading my life

    I have upgraded my life through inner listening.

    Following the programs of others yielded nothing useful.

    I have had to find my own path.

    Fortunately, this is available in the moments of quiet reflection.

    The moment of reflection yielded peace.

    Peace became the way I was guided.

    When I felt the moment of peace, I stopped.

    I sat still.

    I noticed.

    In the peace there was a message.

    It was a message of comfort.

    It was a message of wholeness.

    Right there, without doing anything, I felt whole as I felt at peace.

    Later, there was a call to action.

    It was in the form of a tiny step.

    I would go somewhere and meet an interesting person.

    I would find a book.

    I would sign up for a workshop.

    Gradually, I could feel my whole direction change.

    I became capable of happiness.

    I gave myself permission to discover what I love to do and to do it.

    A new trajectory emerged.

    I did not end up somewhere disappointing because of negative programming.

    I chose a whole new life of doing what I love.

    I am ending up in beautiful surroundings with those who love me and what I do.

  • Two ways to say “No”

    Healing Messages 1.78 – Two ways to say “No”

    It is useful to learn to say “no”.

    We can say “no” to the ways we limit ourselves.

    We can say “no” to whatever blocks us from happiness.

    We can say “no” to whatever interrupts our expression.

    We can also say “no” to past negative memories.

    It is powerful to learn to set a boundary.

    It is useful to say “no” to the memories of abuse and to begin the process of replacing them with new, uplifting experiences.

    We can say “no” to the emotional impact of “no” from a parent and open up new opportunities for our dreams.

    When we say “no” to the past, we open ourselves up to the future.

    The future begins when we say “yes” to a new experience.

    We say “yes” to a tiny step.

    We say “yes” to the new feeling which comes with the new step.

    Even if it is an unfamiliar feeling, we say “yes” because we can tell the difference.

    The difference begins to attract more of that feeling.

    We leave the old feeling behind.

    We practice saying “yes” to the new tiny steps.

    We let them move us into a new environment and beautiful surroundings.

    We adjust to the feeling of happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment.

    We feel united with who we really are.

    We are able to express our preferences as we discover them.

    We are no longer bound to the expectations of others.

    We describe a new existence for ourselves as we embrace our new practice.

    We respect who we are and we trust our intuition.

    We create beauty in our new world, and we are respected and loved for it.
