  • Going Slowly is the Point

    Healing Messages 1.65 – Going Slowly is the Point

    Even though we are conditioned to hurry, we can break the habit of rushing.

    Our normal, natural state is one of tender observation of the world around us.

    That is how we evolved.

    We took notice of the conditions of the natural world and adjusted our lives accordingly.

    When I remember this, it helps me slow down.

    I look at the Nature that is around me, along the road, in parks, along the tree-lined avenues in the old parts of town.

    Once I tap into the feeling of being in Nature, I can relax.

    Even when I am not in Nature, I can remember the feeling of being relaxed.

    As I take a deep breath, it relaxes me.

    I can think clearly.

    I do not have to rush.

    I can find my way to a solution.

    I can move at a normal, thoughtful pace.

    I can move with grace.

    My whole body relaxes.

    I can always hear the messages that uplift and calm and inform me.

    They come from within.

    I can take each step as it comes along.

    There is a natural rhythm to getting things done.

    I gently move in accord with that rhythm.

    My body gets used to less stress.

    I gain a more relaxed personality.

    I am able to be a harmonious influence in my workplace.

    When I feel the atmosphere getting tense, I can add to the peace instead.

    In the calm, I was able to hear Guidance.

    Tiny steps add up and I built a new foundation for my life.

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

    I learned to act on my own behalf and to practice self-care.

    When we listen within, we build our connection to Spirit.

    This becomes a real resource.

    Spirit has an overview which we lack.

    When we take our take our tiny steps based on this overview, we are directed into the right place.

    Our timing is impeccable.

    We connect with whatever we need.

    We do this so consistently as to become an attracting force for good.

    We establish a new pattern for our life.

  • Raise your frequency

    Healing Messages 1.61 – Raise your frequency

    Little steps to increase your happiness, raise your frequency.

    Each time you respond to a good idea, no matter how tiny, it raises your frequency for happiness.

    When you think back on your opportunities, you feel good about the ones you have taken.

    That raises your frequency.

    When you feel bad about the ones you have not taken, that lowers it.

    In order to be in alignment with high frequencies, we must move into their area.

    As we take the tiny steps, we become used to gaining a higher frequency.

    We are able to recognize the opportunities which continue to come to us.

    We can step into the broadest area of happiness at any time by acknowledging one thing that makes us happy.

    As we increase our recognition of the simple things that are all around us, we are broadcasting back our happiness.

    This increases the frequency of attraction and brings us more opportunities.

    There is always the quality of infinity in anything we do.

    Tiny steps are part of infinity.

    There is a always possibility of a breakthrough to a recognition of infinity.

    Once we accept that we are part of infinity, we align oursleves with opportunities.

    As we continue to release past negative memories, opinions, and experiences, we create more room for the frequency of happiness.

    We can build up, and we can build outward.

    We can push through, or we can expand.

    Every tiny step of happiness strengthens our foundation of happiness.

    Every time we listen for opportunities and take action, we expand our expression in the realm of happiness.

    We have the right to be happy.

    Even if we are learning how to be happy from “scratch”, we are still tapping into infinity.

    We are given multiple opportunities.

    Our responsibility is to say “yes”.

  • Steps to become clear

    Healing Messages 1.58 – Steps to become clear

    Responding to the atmosphere around you, what steps do you take to become clear?

    You can separate yourself from the chaos and confusion.

    As you take a deep breath, you move yourself into peace.

    You are able to find calm and clarity as an island in the middle of all the noisy diversion.

    In your inner realm, you feel the gidance to take a tiny step.

    You have learned to trust this feeling, and so you take action.

    This puts you on a different track from being pushed around by harassing advertising and media influences.

    You continue taking your tiny steps of calm and effective action.

    You live in a world apart from disturbances.

    Even though you see them and hear about them, they are not causing a reaction in you.

    You continue on your clear, calm track.

    The adjustments that are needed in society and civilization are taking place because of the underlying Principle of the Universe Who Loves Us.

    We are simply drawing ourselves into that circle of care through our inner listening.

    This causes a pause in the ripple of confusion.

    It interrupts the disturbances.

    It says, “There is peace here”.

    We choose to live in peace and clarity when we take simple action.

    This is something we bring to ourselves over and over again.

    We know the power of simple, consistent action.

    It has built all of the lasting signs of society and civilization all over the world.

    Many other movements have come and gone, and will continue to come and go.

    We will not be part of that flux.

    We will move and flow through our connection with the Divine.

    We will respond clearly and readily to the calm direction we receive moment by moment.
