The Portal Newsletter August 2007 In This Issue:    Word of the Day    Luminary Angels - Angels of Light    The "Heaping" Chair

Word Of the Day
About a year or so ago, I began hosting a bi-monthly group called Wing and a Prayer.  This group was formed to learn to receive Angelic Messages.  Spirit Guides also communicate to this group as well as Messages from Spirit or Divine Source.  We began by sitting close together and focusing on one person.  The person we focused upon had their heart and mind upon a situation that was active in their lives at that moment. 

Each of those focusing opened up to “hear” rather than “see.”  Seeing activates a different part of the spiritual reception than the hearing.  Since we wanted to “hear” Spirit Messages, we thanked Spirit for any visuals that came through and asked for an auditory message.  Sitting in the stillness of our hearts as a focused group, the messages could come through more easily.  Those that were used to seeing had a bit more difficulty opening the different channel for hearing, yet one by one a word would come through.  Since I’m more experienced, sitting next to me brought a significant ease of reception.  Hence the Wing and A Prayer – we pray for messages and messages can wing their way to us as a group.

Yes, we started with just one word.  It is easy to accept that Spirit or Angels are giving one word.  We tend not to discount.  We tend to not assume we are failing.  We tend to be more open to success when we are just receiving one word.  We would then write the word down and share with the person that we were focusing on.  It was amazing how one single word from each one in the group created a whole message.  The words worked together.  Sometimes we didn’t understand a word that was given, but we spoke it anyway.  The one we were focusing on would validate those words by indicating their significance and relevance.  Once in a while, at the start of the next class someone would validate a word that had come through the time before, but was a mystery.  The word had shown some powerful meaning for that person during the time between classes so the word was validated to all of us. 

As each person grew in confidence, more words came and soon phrases emerged.  Songs or bits and pieces of songs or their titles would come through loud and clear.  One member of the class didn’t feel as if she had been getting much.  After missing several months of classes due to work and travel, and just feeling like she wasn’t getting it, she returned to class recently.  She was extremely tired that evening.  She was getting not only phrases instead of words, but songs and full sentences as well.  Being tired has its value!  The thinking brain doesn’t run roughshod on the spiritual brain – the spiritual reception centers – and the information flows in and is acknowledge more easily. 

In all the many classes I teach, I’m frequently surprised by those that already have insight and vision yet feel the are “less than” because they don’t “hear” messages.  Whether or not you have other skills or spiritual tools that you use, if you’d like to “hear” here are some techniques you might want to try to activate and intensify the tool of auditory spirituality – clairaudience.

First and foremost, ask for willingness to receive spiritual information for yourself and others.  This willingness is important, for without it we cannot be of service.  Without being willing to be of service, we can get stuck in ego or the need for fame or attention and miss the boat entirely.  Oh, messages might come through, but from what source?

Just because we hear things doesn’t mean we are hearing from the angelic realms!  If you’ve ever experienced a creepy thing, you know that there are not-so-nice things out there that haven’t crossed over and are just as willing to manipulate and control from the Grey Place as there were in life. 

Praying for the willingness to serve puts the heart in the right place and offers a huge protection from those things that would manipulate by offering near truths and plain old falsehoods.  So, how does one know when one is hearing Spirit or Angels or something else?  Here’s a quick checklist:  If the message is critical or filled with should’s and have-to’s and must’s and aughta’s and gotta’s and other demands, it is NOT be from Spirit.  If the message generates FEAR, it is NOT from any Spiritual Realms you want to talk to.  Spirit and the Angelic Realms offer choice, support, comfort, direction without demand (options), and shares and uplifting quality.

With that said, Spirit can only work through our come from.  If we only think in terms of what someone else SHOULD do, Spirit will have difficulty coming through with a loving and compassionate response to our request for information.  It is our right and our responsibility to purify our hearts and be in a place of compassion.  Compassion is care without judgment – without the need to fix or change or control.  Compassion holds the ability to see how something could be better without having to criticize the way things are but rather offer tender care and options for awakening to a higher good.

The prayer for willingness to serve opens the heart to those spiritual realms of compassion.  We can set aside the human desire for justice and fairness and take on a deeper level of acceptance with love.  There is nothing wrong with wanting things to be just and fair – it just isn’t likely in our modern world for us to achieve such things for in striving for justice, someone must be “wrong” and someone must be “right.”  To be fair we judge whether someone is getting enough or not enough and that totally blocks the system of manifestation from the view of abundance and puts our hearts in judgment rather than in a place of service.  The desire to enforce justice and fairness may be a system of thought in which we can no longer afford to indulge.  Those concepts tighten the DNA and clamps down on our hearts.  Willingness to serve opens the heart.

Once the heart is in the right place, pray again.  This time, pray that to hear a word that will bless the day.  Pray with gratitude in the heart that the word is on its way already and that it will be experienced. 

Sit quietly and wait. 

The first word that comes to you is the word of blessing for the day.  Did it come in your own voice?  That’s okay.  Spirit and Angels have to start somewhere and your voice is the energy that is already in place, so they may use it.  Even if you don’t understand the word or don’t know what the word might mean for the day, hold it in the heart with gratitude and go on about your business. 

Do this every day.  Soon, more than one word may come through and “another” voice may begin to register.  Spirit’s voice to me sounds a lot like my own voice, only sweeter and with a greater gentleness.  Sometimes, speaking to a particular angelic being, the voice might be richer in tone or lighter or softer, or totally unlike my own voice altogether.  Be aware of the word and less concerned about the voice. 

As the word is honored, the spiritual realms can work more fully in us.  If we doubt or discount, we withhold respect and honor.  Would you talk to you if you were disrespected?  I think not.  Yet we expect angels and guides to jump to our commands without us showing them respect or kindness.  They are loving beings of light and desire to communicate and assist us.  As we remind our hearts of the willingness to serve, we align to their spiritual purpose and we can tune in easily.

You might want to ask for a word for a friend.  If the friend is willing to receive a “Word of the Day,” feel free to include them in your path of spiritual discovery.  If they are uncomfortable with it, let it go.  You might want to ask for a word and then keep it to yourself, sharing it in conversation as the day unfolds and if the opportunity presents itself.

The very first time I asked for a word for someone, I got the word Dictionary.  Okay, that’s a weird word and I really thought I was striking out.  The person cracked up laughing.  She opened her purse and took out a POCKET ELECTRONIC THESAURUS she had purchased two days prior!  She had been wondering if it was a good purchase or not.  A dictionary usually contains a thesaurus.  It may not have been an exact match, but it certainly carried the meaning and my friend certainly got the significance of it. 

I must admit, the word “Dictionary” was so goofy, I NEARLY discounted what I got and said I hadn’t gotten anything.  That would have really shut the door for me.  I’m delighted that I felt safe enough in that friendship to be wrong or stupid or whatever and said what I had gotten.  I think Spirit made it really funny so I would remember the importance of the event.  I certainly haven’t forgotten the feeling, the sound, where we were or the time of day.  It brings a smile to my lips just thinking about it.

One final thought about a Word of the Day.  A single word became phrases.  Phrases became sentences.  Sentences became concepts.  Now I am blessed with a running dialogue with spiritual realms.  May you be so blessed!  The Angels await your open heart.

Luminary Angels - Angels of Light
Several years ago, during a session with the Ancient Ones (ascended beings who work on behalf of human kind) one of the participants, Mike, was given instructions to work with Luminary Angels – Angels of Light.  He was instructed to greet and dispatch the Luminary Angels to wherever there is darkness.  The Luminary Angels bring light into any situation of darkness (unwillingness-willfulness, hatred, pain, suffering, confusion, sorrow, etc).  Sometimes, there was a huge shift immediately – a new choice made or a change of attitude or some other change.  Sometimes, the evidence was not visible to us humans.  Yet, the Luminary brought a blessing both to Mike and those that they attended.

The Luminary Angels are a legion (herd, army, flock) of angles whose specific job is to hold a sacred space and fill it with the Light of Love.  When doing Quantum Touch® healing sessions, we hold a sacred space for the one who is ill.  Quantum Touch® practitioners create and hold a sacred space by breathing techniques and the sweeping of energy.  Mostly, I think this is to help the practitioner get out of their own way and let the energy do the work.  The recipient’s body then “entrains” to the pure energy that is being sent into it, creating renewed health or the ability to achieve a healing state of being.  It is in this sacred space, the body becomes healthy.

Luminary Angels hold a sacred space for any and all situations.  Luminary Angels can bring light to someone in the throes of alcoholism, or someone who is stuck and cannot decide what to do or someone who feels helpless and lost.  Luminaria (general class or order of Luminary Angels) can bring the Light of Love to war torn areas or into places of earthquake or flood devastation.

You will hear stories of people reaching out to others during times of grave stress and trauma – Luminaria are there lending their Loving Light to those that serve.  Luminaria can inspire us to greatness or sit with us while we cry.  Luminaria can weave tenderness into a heart of stone or clarity into a drug fogged brain.  What we do with that Light is another thing.  Yet, the Light opens opportunity for us to have a new choice, a new hope, a new life.

Mike tells me, “Luminaries are like Chinese Water Torture, without the torture.  They just keep giving little reminders until you crack and open up.  As powerful as the Luminaries are, the process is still facilitated by us.  They give us the opening to do our work.  It's a neat partnership, don't you think?”

Perhaps you’ve heard stories of people who were at their very end and felt completely hopeless.  Then, out of the blue or all of a sudden, they saw a flower growing out of the crack in the sidewalk and they were encouraged or they heard a bird sing and they knew there was more to life than suffering.  It is in those times that the Luminaria do their work.  The flower had been there ten minutes earlier, why did the person suddenly see it and have awareness?  Luminaria.  The bird had been singing in the same tree for days, why did the person hear it at that moment?  Luminaria.  Then, once there is an opening, we humans can be of assistance to one another.

What can the Luminaria do for us?  They can help us see new options so we can make a decision.  They can help us get unstuck.  They can help us find our way when we are lost.  Literally and figuratively!

Our friends Bob and Dottie took a trip to Sedona.  They went hiking by themselves to a vortex.  The trip was delightful and they hiked through some wonderful landscapes.  As the day was coming to a close, they realized that they weren’t going to make it to their car before dark.  There aren’t any streetlights out in the desert and it was going to get very dark, very quickly.  As the sun began to sink beyond any hint of light in the sky, Bob would ask which path to take.  One path would be brighter than another and that’s the way they would go.  Another branch in the path and again he’d ask which path to take and one would be brighter.  They found their way directly back to their car.  Luminaria!

Asking for our path to be lit on a figurative sense will yield the Luminaria making one choice a “brighter” choice than another.

What is an even greater blessing with the Luminaria is that they are delighted to assist!  They have no judgment!  “You shouldn’t have delayed until dark” is a judgment they would not make – they merely serve when there is darkness.  They don’t care WHY there is darkness, they just come to dispel it and brighten our world.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be as the angels in this capacity?  Indeed.

So, how does one work with the Luminaria?

Begin with greetings and welcoming.  If there is darkness, the Luminaria are standing by anyway, just acknowledge their presence.  We may wish to call the Luminaria to be with someone we know.  Merely ask for the Angels of Light or a Luminary Angel to come to you.  “Luminaria, please assist me.”  Or, “Please send a Luminary to my friend George.”  Then, give them their mission.  “My life is at a dead end.  Please enlighten my pathway.”  “My friend is suffering from alcoholism and is destroying their life, please bring light to their mind.”  “Show me my part in this situation.”  “Bring Light to my heart so that I may love again.”  Whatever the situation, verbally address it without judgment on yourself or another.  Just state the facts and state your request.

“Make that stupid person grow up.”  May not be the best way to address a Luminary.  As a matter of fact, they will sit with the one talking so that the request will be answered!  For whatever shoe of judgment we attempt to put on someone else probably fits our own foot.

You may or may not feel their presence as they are very non-invasive.  Their job is not to make changes, but rather open our eyes to the changes that can be made – to lift our spirits so that we can have hope.  Once the Luminary has heard their mission, they quickly go to work.  They hold the sacred space and pour as much Light of Love as possible into the situation.  The results may vary.  The hostile co-worker may decide to look for another job.  You may look for another job!  The alcoholic may hit a bottom and really have to take a look at their life.  A person may feel more like taking a step towards a better way of interacting with others.  Allow the results to flow.

Mike “sent” them (asked several Luminary Angels to pay attention to) to someone who was repeatedly threatening legal action against my husband’s co-workers.  There was never any cause, just the ongoing threat of “I’ll sue” if the person didn’t get their way.  The Luminary Angels stayed in that situation quite awhile.  At one point, Mike recalled the Luminary Angels.  They chose to leave one behind and rotate one in and out of the situation giving Love and Light in that ongoing situation.  Finally, the people who repeatedly were receiving the law suit threats, got their own attorney.  Within a week the lawsuit was dropped.  The belligerent person was all chummy wanting to “start over” and apologizing for the misunderstandings.  They have gotten along swell since then.

Never underestimate the power of the Luminaria.  Even though it took months before the legal war was over, the Luminaria were at work.  They brought the enlightenment to those needing an attorney of their own and they brought surrender to the one who had been belligerent.

In another situation, we asked for a Luminary to go to a particular person.  There didn’t seem to be any hope of any change, but that was all we could think to do besides continuing to pray for them.  Within SIX DAYS there was a remarkable shift.  Amazing opportunity for change occurred and the person made use of that opportunity.  Luminary Angels at their best!  I sang “Thank You, God” and “Thank You Angels” all the way home that evening.  It is easy to forget the angelic assistance and get on with our lives, yet it is a great benefit to us when we remember to offer a heart-felt thank you.

What do you think the Luminaria can do in your life?  Why not give them a try?  All that you have to lose is helplessness, sorrow, and fear.  What you have to gain is the Light of Love for yourself, your friends, and any situation in your life. 

On your behalf, I ask Luminary Angels to bring the Light of Love to any situation that may be causing you sorrow, fear, or loss.  Whether you feel their presence or not, know that Love is being poured into your life right now.

The Heaping Chair
Harry Potter has his “Sorting Hat.”  I had my “Heaping Chair.”

When I was a lass of about 12 years old, I got in the habit of laying my once-worn clothes on a chair.  They had been worn, so they weren’t clean.  I hadn’t worn them much, so they weren’t dirty.  I didn’t want to put them back into the closet, because they weren’t clean.  Yet, they really weren’t ready for the laundry hamper.  Living the in the Southeastern Corner of Washington State, the weather changes here a lot.  It can be 50 degrees in the morning and 80+ degrees by afternoon.  Some of the clothes heaped on the chair were only worn a couple of hours.  As you might imagine, the Heaping Chair became a big, shapeless mound of unidentifiable clothes. 

Eventually, my mother would insist that I go through the pile and do something with those things.  If I had layered things just the right way, I could wear the clothes again.  If I was a bit careless, everything was wrinkled and looked pretty tacky.  It was amazing the things I would unearth when I went through those clothes.  I didn’t have a lot of clothes, so I was often delighted that I could find something I hadn’t seen in a while.  Sometimes, I had to put several pieces of clothing into the laundry because I’d put something down that was too dirty for the Heaping Chair and it had polluted the clothing above and below it.

Emotionally, we all have a Heaping Chair.  We toss feelings onto the chair because we don’t want to deal with them in the moment.  We want to sort things out later or process at a better time and yet feelings just get buried under other feelings.  Until, one day, our subconscious “insists that we go through the pile and do something with those things.”  We’ll know when our subconscious is not happy with the shapeless mound of emotions when we feel stuck or we feel a burden or a weight upon our hearts.  Sometimes we feel all emotional, but we don’t know about what.  It might be some emotion halfway down the pile that is beginning to stink and needs cleaning/healing.

Obviously, getting a really great counselor to walk us through our emotions is a good idea.  Sometimes we really can use the help.  Other times, it’s just a matter of one by one, sorting through our experiences and our feelings that is necessary.  I think the 12-step groups have a great idea about doing a daily inventory.  They can keep on top of things that otherwise would be easily buried under years of experiences and hard to unearth.

Which is why going through the Heaping Chair is such an ordeal.  Each individual issue builds upon another.  If we want to get to the stinky clothes, we must remove the clothing on top and deal with each and every thing that stands in our way between us and clearing the air.  If we just throw those experiences and emotions aside, we still have a heap and we still have unsorted feelings.

So, part of the process is to acknowledge the GOOD things along the way.  Maybe even finding something delightful that we had forgotten.  We humans are so quick to experience life and plow through to the next event.  We miss even the good things without enjoying them or experiencing them.  When was the last time we truly noticed the birds singing?  They sing all the time.  Do we notice?  Do we throw that experience onto the heap and just keep going?  When was the last time we noticed shapes in the clouds?  Spirit speaks to us in the shape of clouds if we are open to the conversation.  Yet, that, too, we toss aside as we race through traffic to our destination.  We certainly cannot cloud gaze and drive at the same time, yet we can take a moment when we get out of our car and just NOTICE the clouds.  Is there a message for me?  What shape is forming in the cloud?  What information would assist me now?  Is there some object symbolized in the clouds for me to notice?  In the world of quantum physics, when we pay attention to something, we change it.  When we pay attention to the clouds, we can receive messages from Spirit that will guide us or encourage us. 

On the way back from a trip, I had been praying for one of our servicemen who had been captured in China (I’ve lost track of when or what the circumstances were.)  We had been in the car for awhile and I hadn’t been hearing any news.  I looked up into the clouds and saw the shape of a huge dragon and a little man running out of its mouth.  I thanked God for the release of our serviceman, knowing that he was free.  When we arrived home, I heard on the news that he had been released that morning – just about the time I had noticed the cloud.

There is a phrase we’ve all heard, “I’m so broke I can’t pay attention.”  Sometimes not paying attention leads us to being emotionally broke.  Paying attention to the clouds and the birds allow us to refill our fuel tanks so we can handle the stresses of our lives.  Paying attention to our world changes it.  With our loving attention, birds will sing more, clouds will offer us messages and our lives can be richer.

By paying attention to these little details, we use the moment to its fullest.  There is nothing to heap on the pile for later.  We have really lived that moment and it is fulfilled.  By not experiencing the little things, we heap moments of lost joy onto the mound and rush on to fulfill some expectation without fulfilling our destiny.  By noticing the birds and the clouds and the like, we are processing through ages of moments that were untouched by our awareness.  The heaping chair gets lighter and lighter.

But what happens when an unpleasant emotion or situation comes to the surface.  Well, we put on our gas masks and dive into the stinky stuff and get it cleared.  It’s not as hard as it sounds.  It’s only stinky because it’s been ignored.  Once it’s been through the laundry, it will become an experience that we can acknowledge as being powerful and know that it may have become a pivot point for us.  It may be one of those “best-worst” things.  I’m really glad it happened because it really taught me something or brought me a greater sense of my own strength or brought me some new and powerful insight.  At the same time it was painful and hurt like heck and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone else.

So how do we get through those “best-worst” situations?  We look at how we are feeling and identify it.  “I feel yukky!”  Well, that’s really clear, isn’t it?  Well, maybe not.  The clearer we can identify the feelings, the sooner we can clear the painful energy and move through it.  Yukky can mean – shame or fear or frightened or dismayed or any myriad of feelings.  Take the time to identify the feeling.  It may be the hardest part.  We are taught to be angry and to be sullen and to pout yet we don’t have a clue about what we are feeling.  Angry, sullen, and pouting are expressions that are safe.  In the family I grew up in, anger was acknowledged, yet tears were highly frowned upon.  If a person got angry, people stayed out of the way.  If a person was tearful, they were laughed at or criticized.  Needless to say, it became easier to be angry even though I really wanted to cry.  Talk about mixed feelings!

So, look beyond, behind, under the expressions of anger or sullenness or pouting or whatever and really look to see what the feeling might be.  Perhaps it is impossible to find the words that describe our feelings.  Make it a picture.  “I feel like a puppy left out in the rain.”  Lost and alone and afraid would describe that, yet when we hide behind anger or sullenness, we throw our true feelings into the heap and ignore them.  “I feel like a whirlwind of turmoil surrounds me.”  From there find the feelings that would come into play in that situation – overwhelmed, helpless, useless, exhausted, pressured.  See how that works? 

Here’s a news flash!

If we work on the situations that come up today and bring our awareness to what is going on today, WE CLEAR OUT THE SAME TYPE OF EVENT FROM OUR YESTERDAYS!!!  Isn’t that wonderful!  We don’t have to dredge up old crud, it is transformed by osmosis when we deal with present time events.

Here’s another news flash!

Things are happening TODAY that are linked to all our YESTERDAYS.  If I have a disagreement with someone TODAY, it reflects a disagreement from the past.  If I work through that disagreement without losing my personal power or taking their power, I have cleared the energetic attachment of all past disagreements and have cleared the karma. 

One day, Phil and I were working on a project on the house.  Phil was hostile and nearly abusive in his criticism of my lack of knowledge about tools and how things worked.  (This was many years ago.)  I went into the house for “a glass of water” and to get away from him for a minute.  I was praying about it and noticed the cards I had just purchased the day before - the deck of cards called Crystal Allies.  I pulled a card asking what the heck was up with that situation.  I got the card entitled “Forgiveness.”  Instantly, I realized that Phil was reflecting to me how my father treated me when I was his little gopher.  Now from an adult perspective, I realized that my dad had ill health and was pushing himself on his vacation to do the menial tasks around that house that mom couldn’t do.  He was tired and resentful and really needed help and all there was, was me.  I wasn’t much help as I was afraid of ladders and didn’t know a screwdriver from a wrench. 

I was able to forgive my father for his grumpiness and thanked Phil for replaying those events for me so that I could have a new perspective.  I went back outside and Phil and I had fun and laughs the rest of the day.  Phil never new about the prayer or the card I pulled or my new perspective.  How could he change without being aware?  My dealing with the past freed him from presenting that situation to me.

Kinda puts things in a new perspective doesn’t it?  Things going on right now are merely gifts of the Universe so that we can become clear and free of past painful experiences.  Certainly, we won’t have to be beaten again to clear the energy of a beating.  Yet, people beat us down with negativity all the time.  When we can overcome or work through their negativity so that we aren’t beaten down by it, we clear out the old abuse!  How cool is that!

What situation is currently on your radar?  What is like fingernails on a chalkboard to you?  What gets your undies in a wad?  What is frosting your cookies?  It is merely a reflection of your past awaiting loving attention so that you can be free.  That aggravating person is merely Spirit’s flashback tool allowing you a new look and a new perspective.

Yada yada yada – so how do we find a new perspective?  Well, yes, it can come in a flash of insight like with my dad and Phil.  However, usually we get to take a deeper look.  As a matter of fact, I’ve had some recent situations that have done this very thing for me.  I didn’t have flashes of insight.  Those situations required laboring through to the point of finding a new perspective.  And in some cases, unwillingly!  Sometimes we just like to feel put out and crabby.  We deserve to be crabby and have a right to those feelings. 

However, none of us likes to live there willingly.  It is a tough life to live when it is filled with resentments and hostilities, is it not?  So, we get to have easy once we move through the process.  So what’s the process?  The process is finding our truth.  Whether it takes a blinding flash of insight to realize Dad was literally sick and tired and I was just an innocent bystander or it takes a great deal of contemplation to get to that point, the point is the same.  I was innocent.  Dad was sick.  Once knowing the truth, there was no longer pain or suffering.  I had lived for YEARS with feelings of inadequacy and ineptitude.  I was neither of those things!  I was innocent and Dad was sick.  What a huge relief that realization was. 

One thing about the knowing the truth, the TRUTH, the real TRUTH is energetically void.  There is not judgment there – there is no hurt there.  I could feel compassion for my childhood self and I could feel compassion for my dad and I could feel compassion for Phil.  No shame, no blame, no hurt. 

So, once we’ve figured out the feeling we’re experiencing, once we’ve found the picture and identified the underlying experience, we can then become open to the truth.  Feeling lost and alone?  What’s my truth?  If I indeed have lost my way, I can make a new decision to get back on the path.  I won’t be a puppy left out in the rain, I can be a puppy playing in the puddles!  No one is responsible for my happiness – just me!  Someone else may close the door on me, yet I get to find my own happiness.  Do I want a closer warmer relationship with someone?  Am I currently feeling left out in the rain?  What relationships in the past have allowed me to feel left out?  What is my truth about that?  Perhaps my truth is I am free to make my own choices or I am worthy of being treated with kindness or I am ready to choose new friends.  It sounds a little tricky.

It is a little tricky in that it is really difficult to get past our hurts and sorrows and into our truth.  It feels as if we should have the right to be right and they are wrong or treating us poorly.  Even so, finding our truth frees others to treat us in a new way.  Remember that the truth is neutral.  There is no energetic charge to the truth.  It sits in freedom and is a very opening feeling.

Finding our truth is the hardest part of walking a spiritual path.  Others and their actions and opinions and doubts and fears can influence us greatly.  When we are in our truth their influence in minimized and we are free to live the spiritual life we desire.  Truth doesn’t negate any negative experience, it puts the experience into a clear light and allows us to see it with a new perspective and move forward released from the heap of our past. 

Bring full attention to this moment.  Be really alive right now.  Be aware of the truth in this moment and all other moments come into alignment with this one.  The past becomes memory without the suffering.  We become powerful and unafraid.  The heaping chair loses its lumpy burden and becomes a place of ease where we can sit comfortably and know that we are loved and we are truly the children of God.  We have a brave and wonderful destiny awaiting us.  Living free of our past opens us to that destiny. 

If you’d like to have help on your journey into finding your truth, I may be of assistance.  E-mail me and we’ll go from there.  janice@janicelynch.com
