Love you Through It

Prakriti 7

If you are having a challenging time, perhaps you are feeling down and don’t know where to turn, always remember that there is a very loving Source of Life that will lead you through it. When our hearts are stretched as far as we think it can and we cannot make any sense of the life we are living, the compassion and love of Spirit through our loved ones, will guide us to a safe landing.

This morning I listened to a very touching song that a group of children sang to their teacher who is dealing with cancer. They very passionately and lovingly sang this songs with their hearts open wide. It is on YouTube, and the song is… “I’m gonna love you through it.”

Someone very close to my heart is having a very tough time for the past year. I want to take her pain away and make sure that she lands safely on the other side of her sadness. When I heard the song that the children sang, “I’m gonna Love you Through It,” it was exactly how I am feeling. I will be a safe place for her when she needs me. I am going to love her through it.

When our emotions are so intense and we find that we cannot see the goodness and love that is in our lives, regardless of what else is going on, that is when we are so blessed to reach out to a power greater than ourselves. Our limitations are our own, and the tangled strings of thoughts and memories are plugging us into a pain body that is lodged in our hearts and brains and at the moment we cannot see past them.

There is a Way! There is a loving Presence that will help us beyond any of our thoughts or fears. We just have to reach out and take one step at a time. There is a Loving Presence that knows you better than you know yourself and you are never alone.

Healing the Shadow

Jan8

What are the polarizing energies that engage our thoughts, attitudes and well being that appears to pull us up to an uplifting mood or drags us in the opposite direction with attitudes that can cause us to come sliding down in an instant. The waves of energies we are experiencing on the planet right now can stir our most human emotions and disturb the best of even mindedness. Some may call this a Shadow Effect of the collective unconscious. Others may call it the “sub” of the subconscious. We all have it to various degrees and the universe is uprooting the delusion and denial of the unhealed parts of ourselves individually and collectively.

The Subconscious holds great wisdom and intelligence within us and has the power to bring up the best that is within us when it is positive, uplifting and harmonious. Hidden within the unconscious realm of the subconscious one will also find incongruous feelings, thoughts and attitudes that we have inherited, planted in previous life times, or in moments of individual and collective confusion, sadness and fear that have programmed mixed messages within us. The current popular name for these shadows of fear, separation and delusion of separateness from one another, our Source and our planet have changed over the centuries, but essentially they are rising to the surface to be healed now more than ever.

We are One. What shows up on one level is operating for all of us on one point or another. Healing the hidden frequencies of fear and separation is the clarion call of our times. No one is exempt from the inner surrendering calling us to an urgent appeal to do something to stretch beyond the patterns that imprison our highest selves.

So if we are to heed the call of a “world that works for everyone” we must pull out the hidden awareness that is screaming for us to pay attention and heal. We need to listen to our higher selves. We need to do something different than we have ever done. We must call forth the Divine that is within us to help us to rise above the enslaving past to a new day of great peace and joy.

It is possible. It is awaiting our willingness to call forth the seeds of greater peace and well being that is within us. Isn’t it time that we loosen the grip that is imprisoning us all. With the help of Spirit we will rise above the past and soar to a new level of harmony. I will be going more deeply into this subject in future posts.

Monkey Mind goes Non-Stop

Nov9

Have you ever noticed that there is a voice within you that never shuts up? I really put a significant amount of effort to keep my own energy focused and uplifting and there are times when that crazy making “monkey mind” can run over my best of intentions.

Most of us make all kinds of attempts at changing something on the outside when the issue is within us. Our psyche is on over load when we cannot break through and move past the incessant mind that is constantly telling us what to do and what not to do. It is always directing our lives to one thing or another, dividing our attention, our thoughts, our likes and dislikes. Always passing approving and disapproving opinions of everyone and everything.

Monkey Mind starts problems within us and divides our energy. exhausting us and consuming the best of our potential creativity. It always has an issue that needs our attention and it goes on and on until we get caught up in trying to fix something on the outside that cannot be fixed from a broken mental outlook. Endless problems will only take us into endless circles of fear, grief and anxiety.

We want to fix it, and ourselves and stop the nutty suggestions that our minds make up to solve some inner concern that it makes up. It is a delusion and a full out lie based in fear that was generated from a very dysfunctional and disturbed part of our psyche. Monkey Mind misleads us and wastes our energy.

The problem that is really bothering us is rooted in some thought or belief that we are feeling such as we are “not enough” and do we do not feel complete in ourselves. So whatever the root issue, we have to get to that because the Monkey Mind will make endless attempts to divert us away from the truth that is the core issue that we are not fully aware of and is hiding from the light of awareness.

Observe your own thoughts for a while. Write them down in a journal if you can. Be a dedicated watcher of your most inward thoughts. You are not those thoughts! You are the one who is aware and watching the thinking and where those thoughts, if believed, can take you.

Stay with me. We will be going ever more deeply into your true Self.

Know that you are Loved, Blessings and Joy, Rev. Barb
