Safety surrounds us
Healing Messages 1.218 – Safety surrounds us
We create safety for ourselves daily.
Each time we feel the presence of peace, we create more safety.
When we take a deep breath, we interrupt the flow of chaos in our thought.
Our quiet and stillness as we continue taking our deep breaths infuses itself into the atmosphere around us.
We can always create peace in the moment of a breath.
As we expand those moments in the ordinary course of a day, we find ourselves led to clarity of thought and action.
Our sense of confidence grows in these quiet moments.
We build upon one tiny step after another.
Everything we create has a foundation of peace.
Every action taken in the course of our day strengthens our peace.
We create harmony in our business dealings.
People trust us.
It is comforting to do business with those of integrity.
We know we are living on sound ground.
We feel safe and secure.
We create an atmosphere of kindness and consideration where everyone feels safe.

Different flavors, different tastes, different action.
Healing Messages 1.217 – Different flavors, different tastes, different action.
This is how we are all brought into harmony.
It is the nature of the Divine that we are all loved.
Since we are all coming from our varied experiences, we are brought into harmony in various ways.
As we allow this to happen, we do not judge.
We are not impatient.
We are kept very busy, maintaining our new frequency of harmony.
It requires balance, alertness, vigilance.
Otherwise, we topple back into our old views and habits.
We must separate ourselves, or rather, the Universe separates us when It sends us Its messages.
When we feel this Presence, and pay attention to it, we acquire different priorities.
Happiness results as we become aligned with our Higher Nature.
This is quite a discovery.
Taking a step out of our programming requires immense strength.
Only the Universe can compel this action.
The translation of uplifted human values into spiritual action is only possible through Divine Partnership.
It signifies significant devotion, noticeable commitment, through accepting a calling.
We may not realise how we are being called, but when things quit working where we are,despite our sincere and continued efforts, it can be because we are being called into a new direction.
This results in manifestation through Divine means.
It is not something we have control over, but it is something we can align ourselves with, once we learn the connection between inner listening, communion,and action.
This becomes our priority.

At the right time
Healing Messages 1.216 – At the right time
At the right time, and in the right way, is how the Universe works.
And I do not know how nor when that is.
I only know to listen within and to take my tiny steps.
I would like certain things to happen.
I would like certain people to be included.
But that is not my prerogative.
Everything is being prepared for each step.
We are all taking our tiny steps through inward listening.
At the right time, everything which is needed comes together.
And not before.
As frustrating as this is, because, of course, we want to know, we have no other choice than to allow the Universe to exercise Its Infinite Power.
Now is the time for inner listening.
When the message comes, then is the time to take a tiny step.
Listen. Act. Listen. Act.
This is how the world moves forward harmoniously.
Of course, without the practice of inner listening, there is so much disturbing action.
So we go back to our habit of inner listening in order to add to the harmony.
As we move into harmony, we influence the world a tiny bit.
As others make this their habitual practice, the world operates with more harmony.
As this practice becomes more widespread, the whole world will operate in harmony.
We will notice, because it is the right time.

Retaking the ground
Healing Messages 1.215 Retaking the ground
Sometimes it feels as though we take one step, or many steps forward, only to lose the progress we have made.
We must start where we are and take the next step, once again.
This time, though, we have the practice and the strength and the insight from our previous work.
When we retrace the steps, we have more experience and knowledge.
We release what did not work, so that we can discover what will work.
We may discover the need for more originality.
Simply retracing our steps only reinforces our latest discovery.
Losing ground means we need a firmer, better defined position.
Are we completely honest with ourselves?
Are there still some unturned stones, some obstacles of character in the way?
Are we proceeding from our own direction, or are we listening for Guidance?
Is there some societal norm we still feel we have to fulfill?
It is necessary to clear out everything that is causing us to lose ground.
Once we do this, we can take a new tiny step on the purified ground of our consciousness.
This time, we will be alert on a more refined level.
It is quite possible that we will undergo this kind of refinement many more times, as we retake the ground we have lost, and move beyond recovery to our greater expression.

Receiving
Healing Messages 1.214 – Receiving
When we ask, we must be prepared to receive.
When we give, we must be prepared to receive.
When we pay attention, we must be prepared to receive.
When we make room, we must be prepared to receive.
The Universe Who Loves Us gives us life along with everything we need to live well.
There is always a way to discern what is blocking us if this is not the case.
Once we look at the problem, we can discern the solution.
The same Universe that is giving us Its beautiful ideas is giving us the means to express them.
It is the Universe which is providing the opportunities for expression.
It is the Universe which is connecting us to the space and materials to express Its ideas.
It is the Universe which gives us the knowledge to express Its ideas.
The Universe also provides us with the ways to receive compensation.
As we recognize how we are being guided by the Universe, we receive recognition for our work.
As we appreciate the originality of the Universe, we receive appreciation for our originality.
As we express gratitude to the Universe, we receive gratitude.
We are always compensated as we recognize our Source and employ Its resources.
There is always a balance.
The Universe gives generously.
We are sure to receive generously when we create something as well.
Our work is worthy.
Our excellence is known.
Our integrity is felt.
There is no mistaking our connection to the Divine and Its rewards in the most beneficial and practical ways.
We are that loved.

Reward
Healing Messages 1.213 – Reward
What is your reward?
How does life reward you?
Are there ways you can reward others?
The reward of a home and food on the table seems very normal for some and remote for others.
Doing fulfilling work is rewarding for everyone.
Some choose this over making a better income, but does it have to be this way?
I am grateful to do fulfilling work and also to expand my skills, because I love to learn.
Our motives reward us by leading us to participate in society in uplifting ways.
When we see a poor situation, our compassion can lead us to desire something better for those involved.
That desire opens the door to possibiities.
As we contemplate the possibilities, we are rewarded by the thought of a first tiny step.
Many new endeavors begin in just this way.
Our sincere interest in accomplishing our goal leads us to find the steps.
The steps attract the resources.
This results in better situations and in a feeling of fulfillment for everyone.
It is possible to continue improving society in all these many little ways until we see a trend toward upliftment through community building.
The greatest reward is when the resources we attract through our tiny steps convert our communities into complete balance.
This process can be repeated until we are overflowing with service and its reward of happiness.
We are able to do this work.
One idea, embraced by two or more people starts the action.
In fact, even large tracts of land have been reclaimed through the action of a single person persisting through the years.
What inspires you? What are you drawn to? What is your first tiny step?

The long life of service
Healing Messages 1.212 – The long life of service
Service to others expands our life’s goals.
We may feel a certain sense of accomplishment as we meet our own goals through the years.
It is good to discern what we can do to help improve life for others.
Dr. Muhamed Yunus, the father of “microcredit”, for which he won a Pulizer Prize in Economics, says that poverty can become a thing of the past and should have a museum dedicated to it.
Habitat for Humanity, which has made it possible for people to become homeowners by helping build houses, was started in Atlanta.
Dignity Villages help people who have become homeless, transition into tiny homes.
Many entrepreneurship opportunities have begun through service to others.
What are your gifts, talents, desires?
Can they help transform society?
Community Gardens and Food Forests have come out of community action.
Meals-On-Wheels, taking hot meals to homebound elders, broke their isolation by giving them conversation along with a meal.
A local Office of Economic Opportunity was started by two women, one a fund-raiser, the other a social worker, to help people who were jobless transition back into work with weekly support including for three months after they had found a job.
A Swedish organization helps people get off the streets and supports with them with whatever services are needed until they can reestablish themselves.
There is so much compassion magnified through these organizations.
The Transition Town movement was founded by a permaculture teacher who wrote “The Transition Handbook”, which explains how to build community resilience in the face of peak oil and climate change.
Does your own vision of success allow you to expand it to others?
My own profession of teaching music helps children learn to keep a beat which helps them learn to read. I am working on ways to expand access to it.
We all have the opportunity to expand our consciousness and to discern needs and how to meet them in uplifting ways.
Each step, and the steps are always tiny steps, can take us toward the goal of helping to improve the lives of others.

Feeling the need
Healing Messages 1.211 – Feeling the need
All of us at some time in our lives have felt the need to receive.
Many of us feel the need to give as an urgency toward fulfillment.
We can fulfill both these needs when we participate in uplifting community projects.
Negative local and world conditions have been created through upsetting the balance.
The normal balance is a give and take between businesses and clients.
It operates on small and large scales.
The small scales have been driven out and now the balance is toppling over.
It will be reset as the small scales begin the process of taking their tiny steps to fill in the gaps.
We all have things we love to do.
We will regard this motivation as we find the gaps we can fill.
We will contribute to our community’s dream of self-sufficiency and resilience.
We are ready to do this as we see the driving force behind corporations fail and as they collapse.
We all have our gifts and talents, skills and desires.
When we build our communities on these, we will all find fulfillment in the new conversation.
We will all find ways to serve one another, as we provide what is needed for our communities to thrive.
We will enlist help from those who need training, and provide services for those who will most benefit.
We will discover the richness and wealth within our own people as we interact together.
We will not leave anyone out nor isolated.
We will find our new balance, our new rhythm as a community, as we engage everyone in making their unique contribution of wisdom, skills, and practical action.
This is a great opportunity to rebuild as we discover the need for community.
It is an enjoyable way to live where everyone is recognized for their skills and contribution.
Everyone who is ready can learn the new skills to keep the community functioning in ways which engage and serve everyone in it.

Discover your principles
Healing Messages 1.210 – Discover your principles
Your core beliefs and principles completely govern your life.
The way you react to situations and people and how you evaluate circumstances demonstrate what lies behind your decisions.
Your ability to identify with others leads you to compassion.
Your tendency to judge others leads to a feeling of superiority and privilege.
It is important to be generous in our view of others.
We do not know their circumstances or challenges.
We can help lift their load a little bit when we are kind.
Our consideration says that we see them as a person, that there is more to them than their current appearance.
Acting on our principles of compassion, generosity and understanding creates room for solutions.
We want everyone to feel better in our community.
As we identify everyone as valuable and resilient, we are able to direct available resources toward solutions.
This is what creates Dignity Villages.
It is the motivation behind community Food Forests and Community Gardens.
The space is there to fill with volunteer opportunities and the supplies which are needed.
People are glad to participate in ways which give them dignity and freedom.
They are glad to have ways to regain their footing when circumstances have knocked them off their path.
This attitude is contagious because it shows so much gratitude.
Setting up the Community Garden and Dignity Villages says that the community is glad to have the people participating in them.
It creates interactive opportunities for a shared project which benefits and uplifts the community.
It expresses shared beauty and kindness.
We can all benefit from our participation as the groundwork is laid and as we support the project.

Demand
Healing Messages 1.209 – Demand
What do you have that is on demand?
Are there resources you can turn to as you need them?
My constant resource is inner listening.
Whatever demand is being placed on me, I have learned to turn within.
I no longer feel I have to respond from my limited resources.
I did this for many years, and it was exhausting.
Now, I take a deep breath to calm me, let the peace permeate throughout my being, and then listen.
As I feel an answer, I am motivated to take action.
Then I no longer have the demand. I have met it.
When the next demand appears, I am ready. I do not let them add up.
Sometimes, I know I have demands to take care of, but I do not have the answers.
I know it is okay to let the demands ride, without worrying about them.
When everything is in place, I am able to take effective, immediate action.
I do not judge myself or get frustrated.
I simply know that demands are a normal part of life and I know that I will meet them.
I have learned not to pressure myself or be in a hurry. I can keep my normal pace of life.
My main demand on myself is to stay calm.
I will take whatever time I need to stay in reflection, even if I am standing in a line.
I can take a big breath while I am standing in line.
I can slow down my breathing and let peace permeate my body.
I can add to the peace around me.
These little steps while I am away from my home are a way of extending the peace I feel at home.
This is a resource which I have demonstrated over and over again, and I feel it is important to share.
