Detecting and Solving the Puzzle

Healing Message 1.13 – Detecting and Solving the Puzzle

I am here to solve the puzzle of my life.

I came here with certain competencies, my curiosity, and my ability to learn.

Although there have been many occasions when I have been shut down, I have always had the desire to solve my problems even when I had no idea how.

My discovery of inner listening has been the key to every solution.

I have been led to find new ways of doing things.

Even when it looks obvious, if something does not move forward, that means it is not my way.

The way does open up in new and unexpected circumstances.

When I release my opinion, the way has room to enter my being.

I am led to take appropriate and effective action.

The puzzle is always the same – to find the answer.

The questions change, but there is always one directive – move forward.

I may think I know the problem when I am not moving forward.

Later, I will find another element which I was missing and that changes the whole picture.

My life is an exhilarating experience of detecting the real problem and listening for the answer.

The answer may take the form of new art work.

It may take the form of a new series of inspirational meditations.

It may take the way of physical organization.

The anwer comes through because I am a willing listener.

I implement with many tiny steps.

Tiny steps move me forward.

After a while, I realize I have solved the puzzle.

Then I listen for the next one.

That is how I complete a body of work.

Detecting and solving the puzzles which affect my life.

Filling in the Void

Healing Message 1.11 – Filling in the Void

We have a need to be fulfilled.

When something empties us out and we are devoid of the support and love we have known in the past, we need to listen within.

We sit quietly and listen until a message, a feeling, comes.

Then we know, we feel, we have a sense of, what to do.

We fill in the void in our own life, by helping someone else fill in the void in their life.

We are meant to be fulfilled.

Not as an indulgence on our part, not as a party time.

We are meant to find our purpose.

We are meant to discover a different, higher way to live.

We are meant to serve.

What do we have within ourselves that is of value to someone else?

Is there comfort we can provide? Reassurance? Encouragement?

Each tiny step we take to discover our purpose opens up a way to provide this for someone else.

It fills up the void in our life and it occupies the space which fear and devastation previously occupied.

When there is no more room for devastation and fear, we halt the destruction which is going on around us.

We do it in little ways, many tiny steps.

When this becomes a universal practice, there will be no more occasion for destruction.

We will all be filling up the void over and over again so that there is so much commitment and happiness, that the greed and fear that ambition and greed fed on is simply not available.

There is nothing to fuel the fire of emptiness and cruelty.

We are so convinced through our service and the uplifting effect it has, that we continuously dissolve the emptiness through fulfilling service.

There is a way to live besides in fragility and terror.

When we live in that confidence, anything less backs down.

Where is your wealth?

Healing Message 1.10 – Where is your wealth?

When you step away from money, where is your wealth?

I felt I was not getting anywhere in terms of income even though I was working steadily.

I began a long-term study of prosperity.

It turns out that prosperity is well-being.

As I began to cultivate a sense of well-being, I realized that I wanted well-being for everyone.

It became a situation where I began to look at ways I could give more.

As I reflected on this, I began writing.

The writing turned into blog posts, (www.inspired-practices.com).

I am learning how to create ebooks and videos and narratives.

The more I consider wealth, the more productive I am becoming.

Right now, I am adding to the inspiration and peace of the world through my writing.

I look forward to expressing.

My “outgo” is increasing my wealth.

I am increasing in joy.

I am increasing in satisfaction and fulfillment.

I associate with creative ideas.

I am tied to my creative Source.

I feel calm and aligned and peaceful.

My mind and body and heart and soul are working from the same place.

The feeling of being unified in expression lets me fit into the world in a different way.

I have a wealth of uplifting ideas to share.

I am doing work which is valued.

I love the feeling of being unlimited.

I am no longer consumed with worry.

My freedom is turning into a different kind of wealth.

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.

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.
