Awakening is not for wimps…………

Catchy title? I hope so. 

First, let’s clarify what I mean by ‘awakening’.  I believe this journey we are each on is all about going from the head/intellect/ego perception – to the heart/love/feeling/intuit perception. So many words are being tossed about these days – it use to be self realization, now it is Ascension. Some may say it is living by ones own means, to handing it all over to God, and trusting in That. It also can be called a re-emergence into the Cosmic-ness of Life. Perhaps we say heaven on earth. Bringing heaven to earth. Raising our vibration. Living through unconditional love; ONLY. Letting go of ego (edging God out).  God self, Higher self. Oneness. Raising consciousness. 

Whatever we call it, anyone who is going through it, or who has gone through it, if you are what is labeled ‘awake’ – you know the turbulence which arises. I am not speaking of the first layers where friends change, family drops away, loneliness prevails, divorce, loss of job, questioning life…………….but the palpable interior shifts which have been dominant this past year and the most recent three weeks.. 

Due to the galactic energy waves of Light being pounded on our planet –  two major physical issues have risen, which as a healer I witness in clients.  

#1. The balancing of the left & right sides of the brain, the masculine and feminine. Before this summer, since 12/2012, it was the waves were igniting the strength and power of the Divine Feminine coming alive in resounding force. Then, the Divine masculine got very, very loud, (in human retaliation, yet law of nature in balance) – NOW, we are coming to balance. This balance is clearly seen in clients, as they too are reflecting the cosmic infrastructure in their own path and this is supported by healers through energy work. Just this week a bridge was required to be built between a clients two sides – and when we were done she perfectly described her experience, and it was exactly what Spirit had directed me to do. I love when this happens. 

#2. Clients are having the experience of a volcanic eruption. Literally aware of the volcano energy in their body, possibility bringing nausea and or heat. This happens either when on or off the table.  The old ways of being, the past/previous beliefs come up in release. The Light which has been embodied causes one’s energy field to no longer tolerate old ways – and this is very, very good. If you want to wake up, this is part of the journey. 

Yes, parts of us are dying. This causes the ego to express fear. Fear in any way, shape, thought or idea it possibly is able to. Do not bite the bait. Celebrate instead. YAY!!!!……my old ways are dying!!!!! Yay!!!! I am becoming more of my True Identity. No, your body is not dying – your God Spark is taking over!!! This is what waking up is – waking up to the truth that separation is a lie. 

No more going against, friends. Fear is going against. Remember, going against feeds the exact thing that you do not want. Choose to celebrate your re-birthing.

Morning Prayer

I awoke this morning flooded with God love. Words, praises and joy resonating in my mind. I LOVE when the thoughts I awake to are of my love for God, of God. The Holy Presence fills all of me and I HAVE to share. 

I awoke this morning with such dancing gratitude for being in love with God. For having this space within me, this faith I walk with, this sturdy, eternal, magnificent foundation to stand upon when other people’s actions and choices make no sense to me, are harmful, unkind, mean. I turn to You God when I need ‘sense’. I turn to You for everything – for without You there is no me. I turn to You to dig deep for something to say to the outrageous, to fear, to vacancy. I turn to You for guidance, each and every day. Each morning I awake, if You are not on my heart immediately, immediately I look for You. I look until I find You. I expect to see You. I refuse to begin a day without being fully awake to You. Fully awake to myself, to the I AM Presence of me.

I look for You God in the stories I hold and in the stories I witness. I look for You as Law – as Law that works across the board for each of us, Your children, Your creations. As the Law which is changeless and eternal. I look for You. I expect You, when I pray – just this week, so many have asked to be remembered in the energy field of Your Presence –  I expect You, and all your angels and all other forms and Beings of Divine Love to take action for Marcia and Joanne and Danyel and Ben and also Liz’s family. I include anyone reading this post right now God, that Your Mercy shine down and around and through them, that Your Love answers them. Thank you God. 

Each day God, each moment I sit with those in pain, discomfort, confusion due to looking at other people or at life experiences without Your lens – and I quiet myself to hear Your guidance, to feel You lead me to words or actions which will make sense to them, and lead them to You. Dear God, You have given me the tools, You answer all my prayers in this life, You placed the perfect people as teachers for me, the perfect books, scenarios, opportunities in order for me to SEE You……..how can I NOT share this? 

Dear God, fill me with the knowing of You, let my heart overflow in the radiance of Your Presence, that others only see You. Let me see You in any conversation, any experience – for You God, are the only thing that makes ANY sense to me. Unconditional Love, beauty, creating, being kind, tolerant, laughter, joy, Oneness, giving, sharing, respectful – only these make any sense to me. Anything else is an empty vessel awaiting You. When any other emotion creeps in through my ego mind I look for You to rescue me from myself! Thank you God!!! Thank You for all-ways rescuing me. YOU are my confidence God. YOU are in, through and as all forms of life. YOU are my foundation of Being. 

Dear One, may you know love today,

Remembering God

Before you do not read this, please know, I say God – AND so many other words can be used – Universal Presence, Source, Creator, etc.. You choose. I only care that you believe, have a palpable & positive relationship with, remembering your True Identity.

I refer to God as Creator of all life. A massive power which created all of heaven and earth, which is the life force Itself, our Souls. This powerful Presence is in all things, of all things, surrounds all things – nothing is outside of God, nothing.  Something or someone may not yet have their awareness activated, yet it still is there. This is the eternalness, the stillness, the emptiness which fills us up.

What is this ascension process, or journey of waking up, except our individual awareness of God Source being ignited from with in?

I believe every single one of us, no matter our life, is trying to find this, to reconnect with the very center of our existence, the place and space of peace beyond linear understanding. This most magnificent awareness is the feeling of utter bliss. When you fall in love with God, nothing else matters. You stop searching. You have reunited with your foundation.

I believe all the classes, all the addictions, all the stories, all the pain, all the many relationships, sexual partners, broken hearts, unhappiness, depressions; all lead us to ourselves. Why? Because they continually fall short of what we seek.  In ourselves, as ourselves, by ourselves; this is the only place we can meet God.  We are each in search of, this familiar feeling, this familiar sense of a deep and abiding something-ness which instantly quells any fears and overrides anything unlike Itself. We are each in search of a Love we can depend on.

Our unhappiness really makes us look, doesn’t it? I was sitting with a Rinpoche teacher once and he said his favorite students were the very wealthy ones, not because they had money, but because they already knew the money was not the answer. They had all gone through relationships, success, abundance, fancy educations, pedigree wealth perhaps, extravagant vacations, expensive toys, true freedom on the earth experience – and still, they were not ‘happy’. I feel, as much as they ‘had’, they came to him empty.

When we have tried everything on the outside from shopping to drugs – we turn within.

The greatest challenge is always our minds – our mind is our servant, it will either be your worst enemy or your greatest friend. A mind that is attached to left brain intellect has a more difficult time. Knowing God is not a word experience, it is a feeling experience. Rumi comes close.

Where are you looking?

I send you great love,

Deborah

Everyday Wilderness

In Mathew 4:1-11 the story of Jesus’ 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness is shared. I once did a Sunday talk on this passage, the idea of the ‘devil’ being any lack or fearful thought we have, and standing on our faith in God the good as the teaching. Personally, I feel we can live this truth each day. Now, the idea and concept of ‘wilderness’ in our modern day life is an undercurrent topic for me.

I have been meeting the wilderness in myself. The dark places not yet uncovered or revealed. For me, this is what solitude does, it allows for self transparency. I have always enjoyed solitude, true solitude – no cars, chatter, people, input, distractions – and when I truly meet myself  in the quiet of a wilderness experience, my deeper self is revealed. Highly uncomfortable and deeply rewarding. 

Think about it, wilderness can be anything to anyone. Not necessarily the unknown land, or forest or jungle, or an untamed area of the earth – BUT also, the unwalked areas of our own lives. The places, emotions, spaces we have never been before, or encountered. ANYTHING that is new to us can be considered wilderness; a newly ventured experience. 

People who are not comfortable speaking with strangers; their fears come up, they rise to the surface, anxiety expresses, heart races, perspiration makes it way on the skin…..hands sweat. This is a place of the unknown. This is their wilderness. 

Think of all the experiences you feel are your wilderness – have you observed other peoples wilderness? 

I am away on retreat right now, my husband and I, ‘getting out of dodge’ as we say. It takes a few days for us to settle in. We have been to this same resort many times, a family home is near by, yet whenever we go away, we quickly feel how we are away from our regular rhythms. I feel discombobulated. We love our home and our lives. We go away to renew, to break the daily rhythms to allow fresh ideas and energies to flow – AND, truth be told, we are not great at it. Three days in, a sense of familiarity finally rises and my heart feels at home. I can write again! Familiarity is a deeply sensed need for many. I guess I am one of them. 

I have friends who travel often, one, her way of life. Until recently she was a gypsy, staying with friends constantly, and we loved it, and she was always so at home, comfortable & at peace…living from her car, being welcomed in others homes.  Recently, another single friend drove from visiting Massachusetts to home in Florida. She stopped many times, meeting new people and enjoying her self immensely! Each FB post she shared, I admired her more and more. I thought about her life as a wilderness trek. She has been through much – more than the average soul. Recently, she endured health issues, which she was AMAZING through, being her own spokesperson and persisting. Now, fully embodying her radiant divine health. I have serious respect for this woman. She lives a very spiritually focused life, has walked through many unknown places, physically and emotionally and is now a radiant canvas of faith for others to bear witness to, and learn. 

As frightening as the wilderness spaces can be for our human mind, there is a definitive something that calls us to know ourselves more, better, deeper – through them. If it is going to a new country, traveling alone, meeting new people, newly divorced, starting a new job, moving, going to yoga class, hearing unexpected news, having your first art show, dating after 35 years of marriage, starting school, learning to walk, beginning to meditate daily – every single one of us has been in the wilderness – a place that is unfamiliar, feels scary to us because it is the unknown. We tell ourselves we do not know how to be here – and when we stop and simply be wherever we are, we find ourselves showing up in ways we never knew we could, or were able to. 

Is this not faith? These quiet, unseen fears – stories we tell ourselves, or lies the ego tells us, so we will not follow our hearts, not listen to our instincts, not live a life of faith in God, in this Divine Cosmos of the Universe? 

Fearless Faith is a gift that can be applied in ANY form of wilderness, no matter what yours is. This is why I praise daily meditation, in order to gain access to our deeper knowing of God support in every facet of our lives. 

Shared with great love,

Deborah

The Memorial-Funeral Re-Do

I want to to offer a new ceremony/layout for life celebration. These ceremonies are necessary – for the many layers of grief, of living, of joy. For all the parts of ourselves that were connected with our loved one while they were in physical form.

As a minister I have always deeply loved the privilege of supporting celebrations of life when a loved one transitions, when their body dies. But, each church or funeral home service was missing something for me – and they were wonderful, yet still, under my skin, they felt incomplete. As I am aging, I am appreciating even more, the need for intimacy, authenticity and reflection for all when this experience is in our lives – AND the great good which is created through the sharing. I was brought up in a tightly wound WASP household, where this level of vulnerability was not comfortable. Perhaps why I am so ALL about it now!    

This is what I suggest: Wherever it is, ALL are welcomed. The immediate intimates – spouse, children, parents, sit in the middle/center facing out. A larger circle facing towards them/in, is created with guest, relatives, friends, etc. Of course, music, an altar, candle lighting can still be created and a religious or spiritual officiate may guide. 

Each person in the outer circle has a turn to share with the family. To the family.  A story, a moment, something they want them to know about their beloved. This is done in ritual. This is not a party, or calling hours. In the same way any gift is presented, the spouse, children, intimates are showered in the love others have for their beloved.  The connections are shared. The energy, love and history is shared.  Our stories are given life. Friends can see relatives differently – how interesting for family to behold their relative in different Light! AND the effects of this, the ritual of this, rather than in a corner of a hushed funeral parlor room or in the kitchen over coffee, or shared by a minister at the head of the church as one sits properly in a pew………the circle, the infinite, the entire concept of saying goodbye and giving thanks for having known them is heightened. 

I am so excited about guiding this for another! Seeing this come alive in sacred ritual. A wedding barn……….no, a life celebration barn! 

A dear friend recently made her transition out of body – and so many of us who wanted to celebrate her no longer live near. We move, we are scattered. Pockets of us still gathering three weeks post her transition……..phone calls, texts, messages. Even a lovely sweet private gathering with her immediate family – just does not feel like enough for me. I SO want all of us in the same room! 

My barn, my barn, the circle of life eternal in love. Love shared. I can see it now. All ritual in a circle form. Every one of them. Weddings, namings, memorials, funerals…whatever you want to celebrate. Circle form. Inside or outside. Small gathering or large. Always in circle form. 

Thank you. Blessings of love upon you, Deborah

Glitzy Distractions

I am a house luster. I adore home. Basically, I adore space. I love making any space sacred, from a business to a driveway. I love our home. We truly have created a sanctuary. I love real estate, like what is called a ‘hobby’. I enjoy looking at houses, going to open houses……and yesterday I did just that.

The difference in house gazing for me is I can see that I care more about how something feels, than how it looks in what magazines and HGTV say is in. Our home was empty and on the market for a year, when I first walked into this unloved building. A 1930’s vintage one floor house on a hill. (Really a knoll.) The kitchen and bathrooms do need redoing, and ceilings are chipping; yet I fell in love anyway. So – back to yesterdays open house…………..

I wanted to see what a $ 990,000.00 brand new build felt like. It was a truly interesting venture. Keep in mind, just short of a million dollar home. It was built by a man who has been a carpenter, a contractor for others. It was his first solo venture and I was told by the inexperienced realtor who over-zealously greeted me at the door, that; “he put his WHOLE heart into this!”

Now; I say she was inexperienced because it was awkwardly obvious. A lovely woman, a grand opportunity for her; yet a million dollar home could call forth savvy buyers, one would think. She did not come forward to introduce herself or shake hands when I entered the house. I introduced myself. She called the farmers porch ‘a little deck’, she said the home had four bedrooms and I had to correct her; I knew it had five from the listing. When we got upstairs she said, “oh I missed this one!” She did not know the plot lines, could not point out the lot boundaries.  She did not know where the house in the back would be built. She kept gushing about the openness, (yet poorly used space), and flowed her hand over very nice woodwork while gushing.

Here is my rant: Now, the build: The staging was horrible. It is a five bedroom home with what are called two Masters. Five bedrooms means a large family. The open concept was mostly kitchen, very poor proportions, room for only a small four seating GLASS round table (perfect for an active family, right?) – and only one couch on display to watch a TV that was set up so high ones neck would get cramped. BUT! Look at how OPEN it is!!!  Look at all the marble counters! Look at the appliances, she gushed. The dining room had a smallish four seater table staged, (glass again, SO good for an active family) – the dining room might fit a larger more formal table. Where are all these five bedroom occupants eating I wonder? The room/space off the kitchen, (which should have been part of the gathering room for more couches, or the eating area for a long table), was an entrance from the 3 car garage. It was massive, this space, this GORGEOUS indeed space. (Much larger than the front foyer.) Dark oak floors, lovely, flashy, glitzy fixtures, builtin cubbies for TEN children with hooks and all……….but……..the laundry room off this coat area, I lost it. I admit it. I asked the realtor, “how will a washer and dryer fit in here? Come here, please, look at this.” It was obvious. One single washer and dryer could not fit side by side where the outlets were, BUT the SMALL marble counter was very pretty. No where to fold or hang clothes. (Remember, FIVE bedrooms.) The very nice realtor suggested maybe the dryer would go against this wall……oh, then if it is a front loader one cannot open the door? I will bring it to the builders attention she told me. And what I did not say is if this home is filled with three or more children, (five bedrooms!)  many times folks have commercial washer and dryers (Larger than usual) or even two of each for a family of five or more. The laundry room for this 5000 sq foot home was the size of a half bath….with a very pretty little sink. Little being the operative word. (A woman did not design this.)

The first Master she showed me had LOVELY, glitzy everything and ONE SINK. One. Just one sink. It is a MASTER with a small office/reading room too, a HUGE marble bathroom and ONE sink. The HALL bathroom had TWO SINKS. Yes, all the glitzy was top end everything, from moldings to dark oak floors, to windows. The second master did have two sinks in a gorgeous bathroom. And…. perfect soaking tubs, marble floors, large showers…..

The driveway was SO lean, too narrow, had to watch carefully driving my smallish/midsize SUV, anything larger would be questionable. There was no TURN AROUND. (Hear me gasp!!!) The realtors’ one car blocked anyone else from turning around in front of the three bay garage. There was a small one car only place to park mid driveway, which was on a LEDGE. Cautious backing up folks.

And for the icing on the cake, the landscape had just been completed and it smelled like dead fish from the fertilizer. 

So, so, so easy for us all to get caught up in glitzy distractions from the fundamentals of life which give us a reliable foundation.

Is it fair to rant without suggestions? Okay, here is mine: If a man, not an architect with spacial sensibilities, designs and builds a house, please get a women’s input. AND if you build a home with FIVE bedrooms get a women’s input who has four or more children before you begin.

I went to another open house two years ago, the builder was showing it. A really well built home. He let me ramble through on my own. He asked me what I thought. He was sincere and extremely kind & likable. I asked him where the headboard would go in the master?  We went upstairs. The windows, the entrance to a sun filled office off the Master………it did not work. Pretty, but no place for a HEADBOARD! Then, we went to the great room and I asked where does the couch go? He had gorgeous hand built wood built in’s on one wall, an off centered (!) fireplace on another and air vents in the floor, in random places to him, but it all together prevented couch comfort placement. He then asked me to tell him everything I saw that I would change.

The house started at over a million and sold for more than $ 250,000 less more than a year later.

Maybe I should have been a house critic, like a movie critic, but I do not want to prevent sales. I would, however, be happy to make loads of suggestions to any house plan or gut job. When I begin to flip houses, my homes will be very well thought out, have loads of color, a high vibe feel, not any grey, and I will include one or two pieces of furniture which fit the house perfectly. “Homes by Deborah – NO GLITZ, a whole lot of SOUL”

What do you value more, the glitz or the soul?

Thank you! I feel better.

Deborah

 

 

Going Against Ones-Self

Perhaps another way to state the spiritual journey, the journey of awakening, enlightenment, etc…..is: evolving to the point where one never goes against themselves.

Think about that. We have everything we need. Our bodies respond when we eat what is not good for us, our gut and intuition and instincts let us know when we should not do something – AND when we should! Our hearts let us know when we are in the love vibe. Basically, whatever we are aligned with feels good, and what we are not aligned with, does not. An amazing creation when you consider the simplicity, the functioning of our minds, hearts and bodies.

Recently I have been seeking clarity about a specific subject, and in order to know how I am without it, the universe let me be without it for a week – (NOT what I asked for!) – I asked for clarity – oh yeah – what a good way to find it.  …….and the lack of such subject in my life was draining, exhausting, non-purposeful, empty, lonely, yucky. I realized, without it I am not me. That this ‘thing’ I thought I may want to let go of, was, as my friend stated yesterday, my perfect puzzle piece. I fit it, it fit me, and together, there is a whole. Yes, (cannot believe i will say this) – it completes me. (There, I said, it, please forgive me, at least i am not speaking about a person, because I do complete myself.)…….which leads me to……….

To thine own-self be true – and is that enough? Is the flip side of this coin, to know God also? Can we know one without the other? In knowing one do we know the other? Hmmmmmmmm……………………

If we only know our human selves, we have a pretty good chance of being narcissistic, selfish, alone, petty, egotistical, one sided, surface oriented. Without an awareness of a Power Greater than I, we are empty, void of content.

If we only focus on God we have a chance of being self righteous, even bigot-like, and all of the above too.

Knowing only the yin or only the yang does create a one sided-ness to our existence.  Is there wholeness in that? If we KNOW something, but do not apply it, isn’t the knowing empty?

Knowing of God, of my faith, IS my existence – yet, IF I do not live this, do not embody this…..can I know myself? If I ONLY have a faith in a belief of God and never apply this in my personal daily living to knowing; how can I embody it? How will I find the wholeness I seek?

Can we possibly love our selves without having a personal relationship with Spirit? Our ego will try, but the relationship will have no roots. It cannot grow, it will die when you need it the very most.

In believing in God, in all this means to me personally, and I do NOT apply it, I allow my ego to get in the way, I try to control a quest, and do not depend on God, am I being true to myself? You know the answer, right? NO! I am not being true to myself. I am going AGAINST myself in that moment.

We go against ourselves when we doubt our feelings, doubt our talent, doubt our kick ass-ness, when we do not listen to what we know, when we let other peoples opinions have more value than our own, when the red flag is dangling in our faces and hearts and we choose to ignore it. AND when we doubt our gut instinct we go against God, that which created this amazing instrument; our body, us.

A tree without roots does not stand. Neither do we. A row boat without oars, a mind without learning, a heart without love, a house without people, a child without family, an adult without awareness of the Divine – all floundering in a storm without direction, an anchor or their inner compass. 

I love you. Do not go against your self. Know ‘thyself’, all of you.

What Do You Know for Sure?

………anything?  A simple question, randomly or deeply answered, it can shake things up. It can shake us up, when we really look. 

I looked inward this morning. This quest to see if I know anything; for sure. For me, this means without doubt. Byron Katie would ask, is it the Truth? Another words, without any doubt can we be absolutely sure of what it is we are stating? 

Recently I have been questioning how I offer my work. I have felt shifts underfoot, pangs of ‘new’ rising up from within….not yet set in stone, but definite movement. This morning I let myself be with (my) most HUGE, deep, painful, conundrum of a question; why do some people heal and others do not? My conundrum being; can I believe, fully & amazingly in God, in the Universe to heal, in my brother, teacher & way-shower Jesus, in my own faith in such – AND also, at the same time believe that we are each 100 % responsible for our individual experiences?  In this mess of a quest; am I responsible for a clients healing or are they? 

I am not yet in absolute alignment with one or the other….yet the operative word. I am in doubt right now. I know, and have known for many years, I am NOT the healer. God is, our own thoughts are, our faith is. So, it is a dance. We need one another to get to the place of knowing our own Truths, our own faith in the power of OTHER. 

Where I am right now is this, I do know one thing for sure; It IS done to us according to our faith. What WE BELIEVE in, where we seek, what we carry in our vibration though our thinking is the life we live. I have NO doubt. I see this Truth come to fruition every single day and with my clients. 

“IF YOU THINK SO.”

If you think so is one of my favorite lines. So amazing how it can cut through fear the moment these words are brought into a conversation.

As a teacher-preacher I NEED to see prayer work. Sometimes I need to change my prayer. Not that your pain goes away, but that you SEE differently SO your pain can be released. Sometimes I can feel my own resistance in looking at YOUR way of thinking, that believing you CAN heal from that view I cannot get to, cannot embody, BUT I CAN prayer to see YOUR views shift and in that I KNOW that healing will take place. And I do not like that. Why does how I see you override my faith in God to HEAL you? I need to ask myself this. I do not want this mind game resistance in my path. I WANT to know God heals you no matter what you think? BUT does this over ride YOUR free will? …and my gerbil monkey mind shallows on…….

I know for sure healing is ALWAYS possible AND I know our minds must be set right for this to take place, for ANY new to take place in our lives.  AND MY OWN mind must be set right too! 

If you do not believe the experience you want is possible for you, how can you receive it in your life?

You may want to sit and ask yourself what you know for sure? What do you believe in? An over-sized contemplation indeed. 

Sending love to you, Deborah

Confidence

Below is a video I feel is very important  – i feel my students & clients will appreciate it.  I have listened to and worked with the Abraham Hicks teachings for nearly 20 years. I recommend them to everyone. (Really I do, ask anyone.)

This particular one, Staying Confident in Every Situation caught me in many places – my attention that is. I feel there were two vital areas worth sharing –  #1. When Esther is interpreting Abraham as this truth: When we are younger we are brought up to please others and these others were not open, awake, nor aligned with their Higher Being. (my wording.) I stopped the tape and gave this tremendous thought! WOW! She goes on to speak about #2: Developing patterns of Cooperation. 

Our patterns of cooperation are taught to us by our parents – and will remain as our go to until we delve deeply into how we are and make different choices. Do we cooperate to PLEASE? And if those who trained us to please were shut off from their higher selves…..then what? What if they were all ego and had hearts wounded?  Think about this!

If you feel you have the label unworthy or you lack self confidence or you feel insecure in your choices, please give this a listen. Yes, our confidence comes down to faith, to knowing our Higher Selves, to all of that – AND there are many perceptions we can see through, lots of lenses of defining why.  We cannot be present with ourselves until we know and realize the sacredness of our beingness.  with love, Deborah

Set Yourself Free

     

         In a session with a recent client, these powerful words were given to me from Spirit; “I forgive everyone, everything.”  They poured through and even if I wanted to, I could not stop thinking them with each hand placement on her body, with each touch, with every shift from here to there, with clearing, with balancing, with every thought, these words poured through me, onto and into her entire energy field. Yes, it was quite profound. 

        As we sat to process after she got up from the table, I gave her these words and we sat in the silence, repeating them as a mantra in our own minds, as the vibration in the room raised in palpable-ness  and our hearts were open in pure freedom. Yes, freedom.

         Forgiveness is the key to awakened freedom. Sit and repeat these words in the silence of your own mind – feel the chains fall away, feel any burdens lift, feel pent up, held in, captive tears fall. 

      Walking through life as one who believes in owing another person, or that any one owes you – is a weighted burden. Anyone – parents, children, family, first grade teachers, bosses, employees, friends, politicians – anyone. Anyone you are holding captive through your personal expectations. Walking this journey thinking that another person should be a certain way because of our personal expectations, is a burden, which when held in our cells weighs us down. Being weighed heavy with expectations, needing an apology, thinking ill of another, seeing anyone as owing you anything is certainly not as we consider God sees us. Chains. Weight. “I forgive everyone, everything.” FREEDOM.

     The day before this session my morning journaling had been about freedom; about seeing how and what freedom is to me, in my personal life. The freedom to create my life as I see it to be, as I dream it, as I want it to be. The freedom to co create through my knowing, faith & belief in Spirit as my rock, my foundation, my entire path – freedom. Freedom is only available to anyone when the chains are dropped, when we un-clench from expectations, stories, false identities.

I see and know ‘forgiving everyone, everything’ as an excellent mantra for an outcome of freedom. Try it. Sit with it. Repeat the words, then perhaps a list of names will come to you, repeat, forgive, repeat. Each day, each morning, forgive – and be sure to include forgiving yourself. Set yourself free. 

shared in love,

Deborah
