Do you feel like you're a hamster running on a wheel?

Listening to Your Inner Voice
by Claudette Rowley
_________________________________

Is your life out of sync with your priorities? Do you feel like you're a hamster running on a wheel? Have you forgotten who you are? If you answered YES to any of these questions, read on... Learn to listen to your inner voice - the essence of who you are - by following these five steps:

1) Check in with your heart

Social conditioning teaches us to be logical and "use our heads". When you only use your head, your experience of yourself and the world is limited. You miss out on the vital information the rest of your body, heart and soul is giving you..

Benefits: The same neurological tissue found in the brain is found in the heart. The heart is a second "brain" and our emotional centre. Listening to your head and your heart is crucial to good decision-making about your life, your business and your relationships..

New Focus: Put your hand over your heart and focus there - what is it telling you?

2) Connect with your body

Your body gives you a tremendous amount of useful information that you may not be conscious of. For example, when your mother-in-law visits, does your stomach tie up in knots? When your boss yells at you, do your shoulders turn into stone? When you feel passionate and alive, does your chest feel warm and open? When we ignore the body's message, we lose out on valuable information designed to let us what works for us and what doesn't..

Benefits: For many people, fear manifests as a tightness in their chest. This is valuable information, especially if you aren't aware that you are afraid. Your body alerts you to what makes feels passionate and what doesn't. The body is a fount of wisdom designed to tell you when you're on the right path and when you aren't..

New Focus: Notice the messages your body is giving you right now. Try a self-massage to find areas in your back, neck or shoulders that are tense or knotted. What other areas of your body feel tight? Which ones feel relaxed and loose? Use this information as another key to listening to your inner wisdom..

3) Listen to your intuition

Intuition is simply knowing something without knowing exactly how you know it. Connect back to a time that you had a "gut feeling" about something - the job that you knew you shouldn't take, even though it looked good on the surface or the relationship that just felt right for you. That's your intuition talking to you..

Benefits: Gut feelings are a wealth of information. Remember, your intuition is never wrong, although your interpretation of it may be incorrect. When your intuition calls to you, trust it. Practice makes perfect when it comes to using your intuition effectively..

New Focus: The next time you need to make a decision, check in with your intuition. Experiment with trusting it... When you follow your intuition, what happens? When you hear it and disregard it, what's the outcome?

4) Notice your self-saboteur

Each of us has our very own special saboteur. The saboteur is the voice in your head that says, "You are not good enough." "Who do you think you are?" "If you take this new job, everyone will find out what a fraud you are." The saboteur's job is to "protect" you from taking risks and making changes..

Benefits: Learn to distinguish between your voice and the saboteur's mumbo-jumbo. Notice how the inner critic drives the choices and decisions you make..

New Focus: Simply notice the negative voices playing in your head. Notice the times when they crop up. Recognize that the voices aren't you and they aren't true. Learning to separate your own voice from that of the saboteur is a powerful and life changing tool..

5) Identify limiting beliefs

We each carry a set of beliefs that we live by. Certain beliefs you hold consciously, while others are mainly unconscious. Beliefs develop out of past experiences and our interpretations of those experiences. Some of the conscious and unconscious beliefs that you develop limit your ability to grow and move forward in your life. For example: One of your goals as a successful entrepreneur is to make a lot of money. You discover that you have a belief - a limiting one - that it's wrong to make a lot of money. Until you begin to alter your beliefs about money, it will be more difficult for you to achieve that financial success you desire..

Benefits: Learning to notice a limiting belief allows you to become conscious of it, and then change it. Releasing a belief that limits you puts you back in the driver's seat of your life. You, rather than an old belief, make the choices that are right for you and allow you to fulfil your potential..

Ways to spot a limiting belief: -You tell yourself that you only have one or two choices in a situation or "no choice" at all. -Your inner critic expresses his or her opinion. -The inner critic's opinion is generally based in a limiting belief. -A decision may appear to be black and white to you or an either/or situation. -You have decided that "this is the way the world is." -You make a decision based on fear. -You feel constricted and notice that you lack clarity about a specific situation..

New Focus: How does a particular belief allow you to attract what you really want in life? How does it prevent you from attaining your goals? When you reach an obstacle in your path, make sure that it's not an old belief in your way..

When important questions like "What do I want?" or "What's the right choice for me to make?" surface in your mind, consult your inner voice. You possess the answers you need to live a life that feels successful and fulfilling. Listening to your inner voice can lead you on a path that feels deeply satisfying... Your business and personal lives will flourish with this new level of trust!

Chakras & Vortexes of Mother Earth

Posted on Apr 7th, 2008 by Ivana aka lightascension : Ascension healer and astrologer Ivana aka lightascension


by Ai Gvhdi Waya

There are sacred spots all over Mother Earth; in fact, all of her is sacred.

Just like our bodies and the energies surrounding them, Mother Earth has an aura, too.

The first layer of aura that surrounds our physical body is called the etheric body.

This layer looks like cross-hatching or like a tightly woven web all around our form.

The etheric body is like a template or blueprint of the physical form; it holds all the information about how to make the physical body during this lifetime.

Lodged within the etheric body, on the front and back, are seven major chakras, or power stations, that convert prana, the energy surrounding us, into energy that our bodies can eventually use.

The Far Eastern religions all know about these energy-converting centers.

In fact, the acupuncture system recognizes not only the major chakra centers but also the secondary ones.

Our etheric bodies are like electric grids filled with power stations that are constantly sucking in prana.

The chakras have propeller-like blades, or petals, that whirl and turn either clockwise or counterclockwise.

The movement of these blades stirs up the River of Life (the cosmic soup, if you will), and the sub-molecular particles are drawn into the chakras where translation and change take place.

Energy can be changed but it can never be destroyed, and the duty of the chakras is to create a transformative process that can feed not only the physical body through the endocrine glands and the nerves but also the rest of the layers of the aura.

The whirling motion creates a vortex of energy The smaller chakras are located on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet, the knees, the shoulders and so forth, and they whirl and turn, too.

So the human body is literally a walking vortex of sorts.

Mother Earth's Etheric Body

Mother Earth, similarly, has an etheric body around her that acts as a layer of protection.

However, at her North and South Poles, there are now holes in her etheric body that have been caused by humans.

We too can get holes or tears in the etheric body, which then leaks and bleeds us of the vital life-force energy by which good health is maintained and harmony is kept in place.

People who are alcoholics or drug-users often have an etheric body that literally looks like someone has taken a shotgun to it; the etheric body looks like a sieve.

Mother Earth has a major chakra systém as well as a secondary system, just as we do.

Each one is a whirling vortex spinning either clockwise or counterclockwise. She has an energy grid system that dowsers and other sensitive people can feel.

Sometimes people can locate such an area by using a pendulum.

Ancient cultures, because the people were right-brained (that is to say, they were in touch with their intuition and their psychic/clairvoyant abilities and were believers in many aspects of metaphysics) often built their sacred temples on these Earth chakras in order to take advantage of the spiraling energy that reached skyward toward the cosmos or toward their goddesses and gods.

As times changed and one civilization fell to another, new temples or structures were built on these sites.

Those who knew and understood the energies utilized them.

Those who didn't would always come away from these sites feeling better somehow, inexplicably uplifted or perhaps healed on some level.

Christianity might pooh-pooh metaphysics, but the founders built their mighty religious centers right on the same sites that other ancient civilizations had used for their temples! At the highest levels, especially in the Catholic Church, the leaders knew about these sites -- what they were and how they operated.

That is why so many of the beautiful European abbeys and churches, such as Chartres in France, feel so powerful People feel moved when they enter these structures, but what they're really feeling is the power and energy of the chakra, moving and transforming the cosmic energy into another form that Mother Earth can digest and utilize.


Druids and Energy Vortexes

The Druids had, perhaps, the most far-reaching and profound effects
in working with Mother Earth's chakras.

The priestesses and priests maintained the Mother Goddess worship which included the caretaking of Mother Earth for thousands of years.

They were a living bridge between the old goddess religions and Christianity,
carrying it forward -- despite the rise of patriarchy and the worship of male deities.

The Druids did something very special all over Europe, North America, and South America: they not only searched out and found many of the chakras of Mother Earth, they also created web-like lines of energy that would flow between these points across the globe to move energy and to keep our Mother in harmony and balance.

Druids sailed across the Atlantic.

druids


They met and taught the wise women and men of Turtle Island (North America). There they worked with the mound builders in the Mississippi Valley to create a series of temple mounds that were located on Earth chakras in order to keep those vortexes healthy and sound.

These mounds extend from the Great Lakes all the way down toward Mexico.

One of the greatest and most important of these mounds, called the Great Serpent Mound, is found in southern Ohio. Those in the know always go to this mound for the solstice and equinox ceremonies -- and they are Native Americans, Wiccans, and holy people from South America.

The mounds are a line of transmitter stations, which keep a very important north-south energy running at all times.

If you draw a line down through Mexico and into South America, you will find that major Mayan, Aztec, and Incan pyramids were placed over these vortex points, too.

Further, the Nazca Plain of Peru was, and is, a major beacon point/vortex for outer-space traffic to hone in on in order to find Mother Earth.

The powerful grid running north-south in this region isn't the only one.

The Druids worked with peoples of all tribes and nations around the world, creating stone circles to denote places of power or vortex energy.

That is not to say that peoples of other nations, particularly those who were close to the Mother anyway, didn't already know about these sites.

They erected their own kinds of ceremonial altars or stone circles to indicate sacred sites.

There are other places on Mother Earth that are extremely powerful but have no indicator such as a church, a stone circle, or anything else to bring our attention to them.

The Native Americans would often disguise a site by not putting any indicator on the area.

They knew most Anglos would never feel the energy, so they would not violate the site…

Finding My Passion

Posted on Jan 31st, 2008 by Ivana aka lightascension : Ascension healer and astrologer Ivana aka lightascension
Finding My Passion
by Ron Dinehart
______________________________________

I cannot think of anything more important in your lifetime than living your passion and doing what you were put here on planet Earth to do.

I constantly see so much media today, bombarding us with messages on how to dress, how to find the love of your life, what to eat, how to get your body in shape, how to make all the money in world etc…

None of these things mean a darn thing if you are not living your life with purpose. In fact, it is only once you are living your life with your soul's unique purpose that all of the above will come to you effortlessly and appreciatively.

Do you really think that if you had all the money in world right now, you would be happy? ….honestly.

Your soul does not need money: rather, it needs for you to listen to it and carry out it's wishes: to live your life purpose; to live the life you were put here to do. In fact, do you think you stumbled upon this article by accident? There are no accidents.

It is only once you've discovered and begin to live your soul purpose that everything will start to fall in place. I am living proof of this.

Back in college, I remember reading "Death of a Salesman" (by Arthur Miller) and the professor saying, "There is nothing more tragic in life than doing something for a living that you did not like." I smirked and said to myself, "that would never happen to me. How could somebody do something they couldn't stand doing? That's just crazy and cowardly."

But along the way something happened without my really even knowing it. I had always been very smart in math and the sciences when I was in high school. after graduation, I decided to go into engineering. Unconscious of the fact that I was doing this from someone else's expectations, I got both my engineering degree and MBA. And became an engineer. Little did I know that the career path I chose would be a slow, creeping death.

I was not used to the rigors of a 9:00 to 5:00 day, much less the conformance and adherence to a structured corporation and culture. Somehow it just didn't feel 'right' or natural to me. It wasn't long before I started to become very depressed.

I always had a bit of a rebel in me, and the strict conformance and adherence to these rules was killing me. However, the paycheck kept coming in and was supporting my current lifestyle, so I managed to stay the course.

Soon thereafter, I met someone and got married and had a couple of children. Unconsciously, I started to become more and more enslaved to work. Things continued feeling "not right," but I managed to bury these feelings. After all, I had responsibility and a family to take care of.

I continued to work laboriously for 13 years at my 9:00 to 5:00 job (although my days were actually much longer) until I finally couldn't take it anymore.

I crossed the threshold where the pain, numbness and hopelessness was greater than my fear of failing or following my own dreams. It was during a seven hour road trip in my car alone that a voice came to me and told me to start making shirts with "the universe knows" imprinted on them.

The phrase had been in my head for years but I never acted on it. However this time, it was special. I didn't question the voice. I acted quickly without wondering about the consequences and took my first baby step: I incorporated.

In August of 2003, The Universe Knows, Inc. was born. Our website is still in its infant stages but we will continue to nurture it because we totally believe in it.

Looking back on the past 13 years, I now know they were a blessing. I am truly grateful for my education as well as work experiences, and all the relationships along the way. I am blessed. I now know that I had to go through these experiences so that I can relate and associate with people who are going through what I had gone through. I can now have compassion because -- I understand!

Take the journey with us and be one of the souls to tell us how you did it. Your message will help others to live their dreams. We will not stop until the whole universe is in tandem and every soul on Earth is living it's dream… the universe will reward you if you take the risk.

The universe knows!

Worldwide Call for Unification - Operation Unity Grid

Posted on Aug 9th, 2007 by Ivana aka lightascension : Ascension healer and astrologer Ivana aka lightascension

The grid is fired up…LET’S GO!!

This is a worldwide Call for Unification in our efforts to co-create a planetary civilization of Light! The time has come for us to truly clarify and embody the concept of unification in order to synchronize our heart-mind intent into one giant network and matrix of Light force. By understanding that we all are on the same mission with our individual focus and roles, we can work towards a conscious transformation of our individual efforts into onecollective force.

Our unification on the planetary Unity Grid will allow us to continuously receive and exchange information in Absolute Knowing which is essential to accelerating our evolution as a species and in alignment with the Greater Plan. As each of us enlists our services with the unified collective, we reinforce this planetary network of Light while fostering the creation of the inter-galactic bridge. Serving as crystalline human portals and an extension of this powerful network, we can each receive and transmit these new Earth energies to and from our intimate sphere of influence and the geographic locations in which we live. We build our own grid networks and the channeled webbing expands into greater fields of mass unification. With aligned intent, we can accelerate the unification process especially into the areas of the world not currently being accessed. We can greatly assist in the completion of all conflict and bring higher consciousness to the hearts of the multitude.

The goal of the massive harmonic resonant field created through our grid unification is to amplify the power of Light on Earth and throughout the Galactic to such a degree that the global and universal shift in frequency will eliminate any potential rift in harmony and peace in and among our population on Earth. This also positively affects peaceful relationships with other galactic beings. Moreover, it is through this type of unification that we can remain stabilized, anchored and focused during the accelerating spiral leading up to 2012.

There is a magnificent manifestation emerging in the Sedona vortex area of Arizona in the United States of America. A City of Light. It has been built by beings of Light Intelligence and currently exists in its etheric template. When it is revealed to the masses in the physical plane, it will herald in a new era never before seen or experienced on this planet. It will be catalytic to the emergence of other Cities of Light around the globe. New Earth Cities of Light will be the major propelling forces for the world in their ability to transmit the power of Light and the new Earth energies across the planetary Unity Grid.

The Unity Grid, City of Light emergence and Unified Mission are explained in detail below.

The Unity Grid: Vehicle for Mass Unification It is a Crystalline Grid that completely covers the earth in a triangulated geodesic sphere.

The Unity Grid links all of the crystals in the Earth and crosses major portals, vortexes and dimensional doorways that connect the Earth to cosmic forces and other dimensional worlds. This elaborate geometric grid was also known to the ancients and is why many of the world's pyramids, religious sanctuaries and mystical sites coincide with its lines. It is through this geodesic, holographic crystalline matrix that the "Cities of Light" will be anchored on Earth.

Sparkling as a faceted diamond, this "grid of light", also referred to as the Crystalline Grid, the Ascension Grid and the Christ Consciousness Grid, is a higher dimensional structure exists around the entire planet for its use by humanity. We give great gratitude to the "many" who have contributed to the repair and reactivation of this grid structure previously used during the time of Atlantis to support its higher dimensional existence. We also give thanks to the many beings who have been holding the energies of this grid for many thousands of years. This grid will become increasingly charged as we approach 2012 and as more of us merge into its multidimensional expansive energy.

The Unity Grid:

- Our new spiritual foundation and template of new Earth energy

- Serves as a transitory bridge supporting the planetary shift

- A massive global and universal spiritual telecommunications system

- A planetary wide meridian system and "cosmic internet"

- A storehouse of the entire knowledge of the planet

- Connects the higher consciousness of humans all over the world

- Gifts stabilization to our transfiguration processes

- Facilitates communication with enlightened people worldwide

By consciously connecting into the Unity Grid, we all become stronger receivers and transmitters of the higher Light frequencies...as one synergistic beam of ascension energy. As you merge into this crystalline diamond Light matrix, you will open up to your highest human potential and infinite realm of possibilities.

The magnetics of this planet are dramatically shifting and the energy is merging into a crystalline energy field. The magnetics hold the past. As the magnetic field dissolves, the past goes away. Without the past, why would there be a need to war, to abuse, to feel hatred? The Unity Grid can be used to stop the conflicts in duality because all of these types of energies are based upon past association.

By joining together as a collective force on the Unity Grid we can accelerate the mass awakening of consciousness and bring more and more people across the bridge.

Emergence of a "City of Light" (the first of many)

Due to its massive concentration of crystalline energy and strong electromagnetic "vortex" fields, Sedona, Arizona is becoming one of the world's central power centers in the transmission of transforming Light energy across this planetary grid of unification.

Sedona is world famous as a major earth portal and energy vortex embraced by spectacular red rock formations, enchanted canyons and its sacred Native American influence. It is currently undergoing its own
quantum leap into one of the new Earth's Cities of Light. Many Cities of Light will emerge across the globe to serve as geographical anchors of monumental healing power and Light to assist in the mass transformation of humankind. A "City of Light" is the new Earth and this energetic will initially "appear" in certain world locations that can support these higher frequencies.

Sedona will be the "prototype" as the first geographical location in the world to anchor a City of Light while serving as a bridge between dimensional realities. Many of our world scientists will be astonished at the impact that this silent yet powerful move (currently in action) will have for the total planet.

The Unified Mission - Operation Unity Grid

What is the grid network?


Geographical areas of crystalline power will be identified that are destined as the "central power stations" of the grid across the globe. These places of centralized power, such as the emerging Cities of Light, hold a high concentrated level of crystalline energy, purified frequencies and are the massive energy fields used to support this grid matrix (i.e. sacred sites and areas such as Lake Titicaca, Sedona, Glastonbury, Hawaii, etc.). Numerous network channels branch off from these central power stations and connect into smaller nodules of concentrated crystalline energy as periphery power stations. These supporting nodes are other strong locations that hold a high concentration of crystalline Light force. In between the periphery power stations are a multitude of Light networks that are established for the transmission of energies to and from individual people, certain groups, world events, potential earth changes, governments, the media, environmental concerns, world issues, etc.. We, as the human portals and radiators of this crystalline energy, can direct tremendous amounts of transforming energy from the grid to certain people, places and events. We can also be charged and recharged with endless energy as we connect into the grid and go about our mission in the outer world.

Remember, the grid is a storehouse of the entire knowledge of the planet and holds the template for the new Earth energetics. By consciously synchronizing our thoughts and heart intentions on to the grid, this creates a stronger harmonic frequency that connects our collective Higher Light into one forcefield. Imagine the power! On the grid, we have easier access to all knowledge. We have easier access to unlimited energy. We open up to our highest Divine-Human potential. We become energy alchemists and masters of manifestation, as ONE UNIFIED BEAM OF LIGHT. By connecting to the grid daily and using this as the rainbow bridge into the new Earth reality, we will make profound and accelerated impact upon our individual process, the transformation of our planet and that of humanity's awakening en masse.

How to connect and use the grid?

As a unified collective consciousness, the grid will help us integrate and harmonize as a true group energetic of enlightened beings. It is an instrument of peace, cooperation and Love. It cannot be misused because one must reside in a purer, higher frequency to use and connect to it.

We connect through our intentions, focus, meditations, transmissions, healing energies and other desires to and from other channels and networks. The grid connects the geometries of our Light Body to each others and to the Earth. The more this crystalline "luminous body" is developed and activated, the more easily one can connect to the grid.

Ways to connect:

- Go within your heart and declare it
- Pure intention
- In the silence of your knowing
- Asking your higher intelligence to guide you
- Meditation, visualization, each and every breath
- Harmonizing with crystalline energies
- Using, planting programmed crystals
- Connect in the full grounded-ness of your human form
- Connect when in group meditations, rituals and ceremonies
- Bring this in as part of your awakened consciousness

Examples of how to use the grid:

- To send Love and healing to others; to heal oneself

- To instantly connect with other individuals and groups

- To assist with personal and planetary transformation

- To stabilize, balance, transmute energies

- To shine Light into areas of separation

- To activate latent coding

- To access the Universal Language of Light

- To develop and transmit telepathic communication

- To link the world into unity consciousness

- To strengthen the power of manifestation

- To develop skills in higher consciousness

- To communicate with higher Light Intelligences

- To use as an entry and exit point for interdimensional travel

- To receive clarity of one's Divine mission

- To embody Absolute Knowing

Is this grid managed?

The grid is a manifestation of our evolutionary process and the patterned growth of Universal Consciousness. We are all co-creators of this crystalline matrix of diamond Light energy. It is a self operating and self sustaining system of communication and energy transfer.

It is strengthened as more and more people connect into it. Regarding the overall understanding of its potential, there are many new books and forums that can be created around the world to share experiences, ideas and results of the action on the grid. Ways to improve our ability to connect, transmit, receive, and to bring forth other potentialities will be naturally revealed.

When do we start?

NOW.
The grid is very active. The sacred sites and central power stations are energized and strengthening in power. All of the emerging Cities of Light currently exist in their etheric templates. We can begin to draw upon the assistance and power of these central power stations and the new Earth now! Live it, breathe it and begin to operate your daily existence from the grid. Build your network of Light on the grid. Organize your group's focus, network with others and establish unification linkage with everyone you know. Spread the word. Radiate the energy.

What stands between your Higher Self and Ego?

Posted on Aug 5th, 2007 by Ivana aka lightascension : Ascension healer and astrologer Ivana aka lightascension
  What stands between your Higher Self and Ego are the inhibiting patterns or accumulated habits keeping us imprisoned in our limited thinking of who we think we are. To take the journey to freedom, one must be willing to break through the dysfunctional patterns and allow the higher self to emerge.

court13ga


But who has the time and patience to work through the patterns and take what seems to be a long journey to the discovery of Higher Self? Life is so busy and there is too much on our plate -- Bills to pay, people to see, work to be completed etc. Self discovery in itself is such an ambiguous concept, how do we even go about undertaking this journey?

The ambiguity results from a particular pattern called ‘Being Busy’ – it is disguised as a feeling of self importance that feeds our ego. The ego is rooted in fear based thoughts that have us convinced that we would end up no where with nothing to do if we don’t get busy. So we end up running around in circles finding things to do to keep the ego alive. We spend our lives going through the motions and then realize that we haven’t accomplished anything meaningful. The pattern ‘Being Busy’ distracts us from getting in touch with our Higher Self. Therefore the obvious remedy lies in turning the focus inwards.

It is only with inner focus one learns to bring out the unlimited wisdom that remains buried deep within. If you wish to acquire the abundance of natural resources beneath the surface, you would have to dig deep and remove the layers of dirt, similarly cutting through the layers of ego with persistence, patience and focus is the way to the inner wisdom.

Ego is like dirt, the layers consist of my title, my name, my color, my creed, my nationality, my status, my wealth, my appearance and the list goes on and on…. we think we will be NO ONE without our ego. The fact is that we have limited our growth by placing these layers upon ourselves.

Isn’t it ironic that we don’t have time for ourselves – without setting time aside to understand the subtle inhibiting patterns that keep us stuck in the ego self, it will be impossible to get to the inner wealth.

In discovering the Higher Self, one gets freed up from the anxiety of losing impermanent layers of the titles, jobs, friends, or even the physical body. One does not have to renounce the world in order to discover the self. On the contrary one can enjoy the world and still remain unattached to the ever changing objects. The only difference in life after renouncing the ego self is that the worldly enjoyment is accompanied with a deep and steadfast connection to the unlimited Higher Self.

Does your self worth come from the layers of Ego Self or from your deep rooted Higher Self?

What areas of your life have you attached your sense of identity to, for instance your education, your beliefs, your fears, your title, your net worth and so on.

How do you generally introduce yourself to others?

Now imagine being stripped of each and every worldly possession including your net worth. What will remain when all objects to your physical sense vanish?

It is your very attachment to the impermanent objective world that keeps you stuck. In the physical world, change is the only constant and permanence is only a concept our Ego Self has bought into.

We each must find our own way to connect to our higher self. However, some of the disciplines used are meditation, reflection, journaling, connecting to nature, poetry, music, art and truly whatever your heart can dance to. Remember the journey may be long but there are new discoveries revealed at every turn.

It is the inhibiting patterns that prevent the ecstatic Self from emerging. To break through the layers of subtle patterns one must take the shovel of focus, the power of meditation and the strength of intent to dig and remove the layers of the Ego Self.

The Value of Forgiveness


 

Forgiveness can indeed be difficult. Yet in the long run, it is far easier to forgive than to live with resentment or continuing retribution.

Through forgiveness, you can move away from the pains of the past. With forgiveness, you can achieve real freedom.

There are always opportunities to benefit from the value of forgiveness. You can forgive yourself, you can forgive others, and you can forgive even when you don't know exactly who to forgive.

Because forgiveness is not about who is to blame or who is at fault. Forgiveness is mostly about letting go, completely and permanently, within yourself.

Forgiveness is recognizing the reality that what has happened has happened, and that there's no point in allowing it to dominate your life. Forgiveness refreshingly clears the slate and enables you to move positively forward.

Carrying around a load of resentment can be an enormous and unnecessary burden. Forgive early and often, and you'll considerably lighten your load.

Wanting Freedom So Bad

Posted on Jul 30th, 2007 by Ivana aka lightascension : Ascension healer and astrologer Ivana aka lightascension

I grew up in New England, where there is a strong work ethic, high standards, high sense of morals and effort and right conduct.

Recently I find that I don’t want to do anything that I don’t want to do. On the contrary, I want to do just as I like. No restrictions. Right now I feel much more like someone born on the beaches of California rather than in staid New England.

At first when I started feeling rebellious, I thought I was going through a delayed adolescent stage.

But now I wonder if God is finally getting through to me. After so many years of Godwriting, maybe, just maybe, some of what God says is really clicking in.

Still, I have to hesitate in posting this blog. I mean I could be going to the dogs, and I don’t want to steer anyone wrong.

Here are some of my recent symptoms:

I don’t want to take another vitamin.

I want to put lots of honey in my tea.

I want to eat what I feel like eating whenever I feel like it.

Suddenly I don’t want to do anything that is supposed to be good for me.

I don’t want to try to be perfect anymore. I want to be imperfect. I want to be lazy. I want to Godwrite all day long. I don’t want to see another bill. I don’t want to even think about money.

And I don’t want to resist one more thing. I want to be laid-back, easy-going, unruffled.

Have I turned into a hippie? Am I changing from Type A personality to Type B?

Although I am unsure of all my new irresponsible laissez-fair thinking — how long will it last? — how long can I last? –there is also definitely something else going on that I am sure is from God. Maybe there is a correlation. Maybe, just maybe, for this new great breakthrough to arise, I had to unbend the strict rules that I grew up with and held onto for so many years.

Here’s the unquestionably good thing I am noticing now:

I talk more nicely to myself. Maybe that doesn’t sound like much, but, to me, it’s HUGE.

I am embarrassed to say that, in the past, I have spoken to myself unkindly.

I often overheard myself speaking to myself without respect, saying things like: “Gloria, you idiot, you numbskull, you dodo…”

In contrast, the other morning when I woke up early, I heard myself saying to myself:

“It’s okay, honey. You can go back to sleep.”

I called myself Honey! How marvelous is that!
