Self Acceptance Prayer

On February 12, 2023 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, PrayersLeave a comment

Father,

Thank you for this day. Thank you for this opportunity to love eachother better, by first loving ourselves down to our very core. We know that in 1John 4:7 it says, “Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” Loving one another as you taught us, begins with forgiving and accepting ourselves first, while always remaining humble.

We know life throws challenges and lessons our way. Perhaps one of the most challenging things to do is open up our eyes and see ourselves as you see us, Father, and to give ourselves that same regard, that same precious love, no matter what we’ve done, thought or said.

We strive to love and forgive ourselves, in order to love and forgive others, because “Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.” (1Corinthians 13:7)

We love, because we are your children, and we are your love in human form.

So be it.

Amen

Clearing the Fear

On January 29, 2023 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, The ShiftLeave a comment

Do you see the truths that are coming out yet? There is a leak in the dam and the water has reached a steady flow. We cannot sit back anymore. We must face what has really been happening and confront it and have discussions and demand change. We must push through this change.

The biggest issue to be cleared is fear itself. Many say they want changes, but the fact is many humans have a lot of fear to face within themselves before they are ready to let go of who they were, to then fully embrace who they really are. What is that thing you fear of the most? Try to conquer it by making it your friend. You will feel better once you have faced it and moved past it. To be truly transformed, we must release all fear. The ashes that we rise up out of, are simply the dissolved fears that have been cleared, and are no longer attached to us.

Forgive yourself and others and then, forget they ever happened. Let those old hurts go. We are walking into a whole new level of experiencing reality and shedding layer after layer as we step forward. “The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he delights in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD upholds his hand”. –Psalm 37:23-24, ESV

Struggles inside of us and outside of us are reaching completion. Step through the doorway because a new version of “us” is coming online. Movement and beauty accompanies a rebirth. Everything must come into balance, God’s New Covenant decrees it so. Nature does not support imbalance. Nature only supports balance. And our new life will be in harmony with nature.

Choosing Love as Our Lens

On January 25, 2023January 28, 2023 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, The ShiftLeave a comment

If you could imagine the future into being, what do you see our better future looking like?

Now is the time to engage our thoughts and imagination into our view of how we see the new world functioning. In our brighter, better future, how are we going to express love for ourselves as well as others around us? In what way will we conduct business and interpersonal relationships with a better sense of heart? Can we lead the world with more compassion, forgiveness, empathy, connection, acceptance and generosity?

As the changes of life unfold before us, everything can be viewed through the lens of love or fear. How we see it, is the texture it takes on in physical reality. When layers of protection and confusion are peeled back enough, most everything we want for our future lies in a universal desire and right to be loved and feel love.

It is an innate belief that we have the right to seek our happiness and raise our children in a safe and healthy environment. It is a divine right that children be safe. When we realize what has been stealing the innocence of children, something clicks inside us, we just won’t see the world the same way, and in that instant the world has changed. We will not tolerate anything less than a world that allows us to see our children protected and treated as the special gifts from God that they are. What it may take to bring it about is for us to revolt and refuse any more targeting of our children and stand up and be loud to the point that we are heard clearly. If not now, when? If not us, then who?

Love heals and God is love. We must consider forgiveness an essential part of moving forward. To drop all baggage right here and now and step forward. Drop our fear of living life without excuses and protections.

“As regards my own sins it is a safe bet (though not a certainty) that the excuses are not really so good as I think; as regards other men’s sins against me it is a safe bet (though not a certainty) that the excuses are better than I think. One must therefore begin by attending to everything which may show that the other man was not so much to blame as we thought. But even if he is absolutely fully to blame we still have to forgive him; and even if ninety-nine percent of his apparent guilt can be explained away by really good excuses, the problem of forgiveness begins with the one percent of guilt which is left over. To excuse what can really produce good excuses is not Christian charity; it is only fairness. To be Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single great injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life—to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son—how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that trespass against us.”

―C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory

We are offered forgiveness. To refuse it is to refuse God’s mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says. To forgive others, we have to be ready to treat others as we would want God to treat us, refusing to go into old justifications and being willing to step forward in a new way. To forgive ourselves, we simply don the lens of love and see ourselves through God’s eyes. To consider our bodies as sacred vessels miraculously carrying a spark of God, not something that falls short of a picture in a magazine, that has probably been doctored in some way, but beautiful and special and a unique work of art. Worshiping and idolizing stars on a screen, has been a very poor replacement to living in the flow of nature and following the stars in the sky.

When we awake and come aware in the now moment, if we apply the lens of love to our world and our own lives, then we can draw from our experiences of suffering and adversity to apply patience and tolerance in our interactions with eachother. Love, patience and tolerance are a must for reducing negative emotions like hatred or anger. When things are going well, there just isn’t as much need to be patient and forgiving. But, when we come across tricky problems, when we suffer, we can work to develop and adjust these important tools of the heart. We aren’t always encouraged to bring these to a fight. Societal programming may even term them as weakness, but, when we are stepping into our vision of a bright new future, perhaps it is time to consider the true power of seeing eachother through the lens of love for one another as part of the human family, ready and willing to create this future together.

Healing Through The Divine Matrix

On April 4, 2019November 7, 2022 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, Inspirational, Thought Provoking, ToolsLeave a comment

In this higher vibrational energy, when issues from our past come up, or physical pain in our bodies, it is a signal that it is time to release these old remnants. In fact, ruminating or reacting to these old issues represses our true selves from rising above and staying in the higher vibrations that we have the rare gift of experiencing here, right now. By feeling stuck in our stories of loss and betrayal, we give more attention to our grief, anger, guilt, grudges, excuses, and defenses, we are robbing ourselves of the opportunity to feel God’s Love coming alive all around us right now.

In Gregg Braden’s season 3 of Missing Links on Gaia right now, he describes the field of energy around us, currently being scientifically proven, called the “divine matrix”. It is the space between all matter that creates a matrix for us, it is alive and aware and consists of the energy of compassion. Gregg says that if you took out all the space in our Universe, the amount of actual matter would fit inside a single green pea. All the rest is this energetic web that moves and flows through and around every single thing. It is divine intelligence itself and interacts with our actions, thoughts and emotions. It is the Universe, it is the consciousness of God.

I remember laying down in the grass one cloudy day about 20 years ago. I took some deep breaths and cleared my mind and closed my eyes. I set the intention to see the grid all around us. I wanted to see it, and I asked to be helped to see it. When I opened my eyes, I saw tiny moving sparks, dancing all around. It helped that it was cloudy, with the clouds in the background as contrast, and as I lengthened my gaze outward, I noticed it was everywhere. It felt happy and loving and magical.

Before God’s Big Bang, with all the matter of the Universe compressed into the size of a green pea (and very, very hot,) Gregg explains that this is how we are all connected, because we all once emanated from the same source inside that divine cosmic green pea. We were all One. And through the new laws of quantum theory, as in the 1997 University of Geneva twin-photon experiment performed by Dr. Nicolas Gisin, when a pair of photons are separated apart by physical space, they have a mysterious long range connection where what is done to one photon such as a change in charge or physical movement, shows an instantaneous identical result in the other photon. Our connection does not dissipate despite being separated by physical distance.

So, by using our belief in our connection through the divine matrix, and the compassionate intelligence in which it is comprised, we can begin to heal the pain and stress of our present, with divine help. All we need to do is put doubt aside, open our mind, set the intention to be heard by God and our spirit team, and ask for the help. Then keep our eyes open for signs, and listen for messages.

In Netflix’s An Interview With God, and I’m not spoiling too much here, there is a defining moment when journalist Paul Asher comes to the realization that the underlying reason the interviews are occurring is because Paul is going through a major life crisis and in his prayers, asked for divine help. Using the utmost patience and compassion, the interviewee, God, had to break through all of Paul’s grief, anger, grudges, excuses, and defenses in order to give him that help. We can facilitate this process for our best and highest good by trusting the Universal compassionate intelligent field and just hit the pause button on those feelings and emotions of grief, anger, guilt, grudges, excuses, and defenses, long enough to try something totally different. Different, that is, from the beliefs we acquired during our life through schools, parents, society and religions.

If we step out of our shoes for a moment and take a glance at ourselves from an eagle’s eyeview, we might glimpse that if we continue to hold onto these feelings and emotions of grief, anger, guilt, grudges, excuses, and defenses, we only continue the cycle that we are complaining about. The pain, stress and health of our physical bodies will inevitably push us to this point sooner or later. Just like in the movie, An Interview With God, we are going through a crisis of the soul, but do not know where to get the best help, and feel helpless to get there. The longer we stay on the current course, the more disappointed and bitter we become and we may not want to even be here anymore. Sometimes we have asked God for the help, but our door is still closed to receiving. Opening ourselves up to allowing God to see things for which we may carry guilt, shame and self-blame can be super scary. Particularly if we grew up in a system that told us that God would judge us and punish us some day. Oh the fear those beliefs instilled… which was particularly useful to scare a population into behaving better toward eachother (cough, medievil times, cough.) This is a new era now. There is a new energy pushing us to evolve past those old beliefs and free ourselves to create the peace and happiness we deserve. Believe me, we have God’s permission to use our free will to hit the pause button on our pain cycle, shift our focus to claim our sovereignty. Just like in the movie, in a beautiful act of salvation, we do have the power to change the things we are getting tired of complaining about.

In my own experience, I have used a technique similar to the consciousness hack developed by Bill McKenna explained in his interview with Regina Meredith the attached video below. He describes how we can reverse pain, even pain we have carried for years by using our focus and conscious intent. My own process, with the help of God, my Guides and spirit team, using prayer and tapping into the divine matrix, with the intention of the highest good and healing for the person or persons I am focusing on, has brought profound healing and gifts into my life. You can do it too.

So, I want to share my own process with you. Think of it as a tip or a technique or a tool, but if you can rally the courage to try it for yourself, it can open doors to something better for you. Just press the pause button on your beliefs, add a little wonder if there is something good behind this new door for you, and give about 15 minutes of your time to try it out.

When a painful memory, or problem, or chronic health issue comes up, I sit or lay down and put my focus on it. Let’s call it our target. I invite God, my Guides, Angels, Arch Angels and my Spirit Team to help. Very simply, I use my imagination to see that target (pain, experience, health issue, person, loss, betrayal, emotion, etc.) surrounded by the compassionate divine field that exists in and around us all. Because I know we were once all one with God, and that we are all connected, I summon up the feeling of compassion and forgiveness as best I can. If I cannot feel it strongly, that’s okay, the intention that I do so is simply enough. I imagine that target as healthy and abundant and in perfect happiness, emanating light all around them. I hold this for a number of minutes with as clear an intention as possible and no expectations for an outcome. Then I give compassion and forgiveness to myself. Because I know I am of The Light also, I thank God and the Universe for the experience and what it has taught me.

And then, I gently wake myself out of it and go on about my day. I try not to look back and judge the healing I just performed, I simply let it be. And gently move on. Maybe even pretend that what happened becomes reality, but it doesn’t matter, because the Divine Matrix will take care of all the details, and we can trust it because it is made of compassion.

Grace

On March 24, 2018 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, InspirationalLeave a comment

After forgiveness, there is grace. That is a place within ourselves that looks from such a vantage point that knows that nothing was by accident, and nothing was a mistake. It all played out as it should, and there are a multitude of hard won payoffs for the effort.

When we manage to get past “he did this to me, she did that to me,” which can be no small feat, our horizon opens up before us in a symphony of magical synchronistic life, and forgiveness is the key that opens that door.

The current energy waves are urging us to look at the issues that come up because although it may be something that is happening in the now, it is triggering something that is deeply buried inside us from our past. The fact that it is coming up now means that it no longer serves us and needs to be ejected from our story. Even if there are unresolved unknowns from which we are still healing. If we can find a perspective that softens the experience, we have permission from God and the Universe to change the story of our past. When an issue comes up in our present that triggers an unresolved issue from our past, do we ruminate on it and grow it bigger? Can we take advantage of the opportunity the Universe has brought to us to open our hearts enough to apply forgiveness to it and unlock the door so we can graduate and advance to grace? These energy waves are from God, urging us forward and upward. Do we really want to drag any heavy weights of our past pain into it?

If it is just too painful to go there, we can just set the intention for it to be healed. The way to unlock and release all that calls to be healed, is to open our hearts. We don’t have to give up any rights. We don’t have to demean ourselves in any way. We can simply set the intention to allow. We can ask for help from the Universe, our Higher Self, Guides and Angels, and then simply allow the miracle to occur. There will be a change within us, a beautiful, painless change where we did not give up anything, and gained everything.

Grace asks us to be lighter and be light. It is a state of freedom from the heavy dense energies and the chaotic confusion that is just not us. Grace gets us to a place where we can finally get down to the bare bones of our work: To accept who we are, to accept what we are, and then to go inside and learn what that means. Grace opens the door to our gifts, and for our path to be gifted. Grace gives us permission, because all is cleared, to get on with this business of ascension and being the lighthouses we came here to be.

Affirmation

I open my heart, and invite grace.

I forgive all.

I am in gratitude that my Higher Self, Guides and Angels have cleared my body, my life and my path.

I believe that my life is gifted with love, peace, joy and happiness.

I ask for my Higher Self, Guides and Angels to give me signs that the best is happening, because I know that the best is happening.

Forgiveness of Self

On January 11, 2018February 17, 2022 By thinkcarebelieveIn Healing & Empowerment, Inspirational, Thought ProvokingLeave a comment

We all know someone who seems to never get their sh*t together. They seem to screw up every good opportunity that comes their way. They make horrible choices and then indulge in some addiction to not have to think about it or to keep their pain away. It gets tiresome to worry about them, repeatedly disappointed by them and can be painful to watch.

Consider that buried deep beneath the surface of that human being could possibly be shame, self blame and guilt. If we put our judgments aside for a moment and peer into that person’s heart and mind, we may see the root cause of a string of reasons that person felt they were not worthy of love, success and self fulfillment. Something for which they could not forgive themself. It may have been thinking they were to blame when they were a child. It could be a circumstance like causing an accident. It could be because they repeatedly heard harsh talk and messages that they were no good. So many possible scenarios. Scenarios that set up an opportunity to heal and jump start their life by finding a way to forgive themself.

Now let’s turn it around and look at our own selves. Be honest and don’t run away. It’s just between us and God. What is the thing buried deep within us that has evaded our forgiveness? No matter how big or small, pick one.

If we could imagine ourselves as spirit before coming into this life, looking at all the possible choices for a life experience, we may have wanted to experience both sides of something in order to learn everything about it. For example, we may want to know how it feels to hurt someone or take advantage of them. Then, we may want to know what it feels like to realize it, forgive ourselves for it and then be able to make amends to that person. We would have to create the situation in order to have the full experience of forgiveness of ourselves and others, in order to move on to a better life, armed with the knowledge of how we don’t want it to be.

In God’s eyes, and we are part of God, and God is within us… Nothing is unforgivable. Nothing. If, in fact, we are really a divine being having a human experience, then maybe we can take a step back from our blame, shame and guilt and try something a little different, like forgiving ourselves, and moving on… with love.

Dr. Wayne, in his blogpost entitled Forgive Yourself, wrote:

“You were the person you were supposed to be then so you could become the person you are now. You needed to do the things you did in order to find out how you didn’t want to be. Rather than cursing the past, bless it and forgive yourself entirely. When you know that all of those experiences were a part of the divine design of your life, you can afford to forgive.

So many things that I did in my life, I look back and think that I would never do those things today. And yet all of my past actions have contributed to helping me be the man I am today. Say to yourself, ‘I had to be that person and I’ve learned from him (or her).’ Forgiving yourself is every bit as important as forgiving other people. You did the best that you could, given the conditions of your life, and you can’t ask any more of yourself or of anyone else. Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life. When you can do this, a kind of balancing occurs. Rather than atoning for sins with guilt, you are more committed to promoting joy and service. You will begin to do what you originally came here to do.”

Each new moment is an opportunity to create anew. God wants us to lighten our burdens and ascend with the Earth. God wants us to bring closure to our old ways of thinking and wake up and remember who we really are. To carry those secrets and burdens until the moments just before our death and then unburden ourselves, is an old energy way of doing things. Forgive ourselves now for everything… absolutely everything we knew we did or didn’t know we did. For those we knew we hurt and didn’t know we hurt. As the darkness falls away with the rising energy, we can just let those things fall away with it. It’s okay. God says it’s okay. We don’t have to carry them any longer. This is the time to let go of all those icky things and forgive ourselves for everything. And then move onward and upward.

And once we have healed ourselves, perhaps we can see another human being struggling with self forgiveness a little bit differently. Because one light shining brightly, can spark another. (and another)
