Wisdom of We the People

The Wisdom of We the People

All governments ultimately draw their authority and power from the consent of the governed.

That is a truth that may not be observed at times because the world has in it both good and evil.

As a human being, one of the most powerful and profound parts of your nature is your Free Will.

The Power To Choose Good vs Evil

Every single human being who breathes the air of the earth is endowed by their creator with free will, and like so many things in life can be used for either good or evil.

According to the author Ervin Staub, “evil is often associated with conscious and deliberate wrongdoing, discrimination designed to harm others, humiliation of people designed to diminish their psychological needs and dignity, destructiveness, and acts of unnecessary or indiscriminate violence.”

It is not new that evil exists in the world. But there are ways that you as a human being can, through your free will, have power and influence over whether or not evil wins or prevails in the world.

There is a long arc of history in the world of men and women that bends toward Justice as Dr. Martin Luther King observed long ago.

The battle between good and evil has been a part of the human experience as long as human beings have walked the earth. It is present in the most ancient of stories and myths dating back to the Garden of Eden and included in the stories and myths of indigenous people of every culture across the diverse divide of humanity.

In the ongoing conflict between good and evil one element is crystal clear and that is where free will comes into power and play, it is always a choice.

That is where there is a sacred, one might even say Divine power and promise that is given with free will to all of humankind. You and by extension “We the People” are given the power to choose.

That ultimately means choosing between Love and Hate. It also sadly also means choosing between Truth and Lies. Those choices in life have long ranging impact, evil has learned how to use lies, fear, and misinformation to manipulate humanity to have its way.

Calling Out Evil

As Edmond Burke observed long ago,

The only thing that is necessary for evil to prevail is for good men (people) to do nothing.”

What makes that principle especially important is the hesitation to call out evil as evil.

That hesitation is both dangerous and damaging to the “wisdom of we the people.”

Evil has long thrived by attacking truth. Evil is only defeated when good people make a stand.

It seems the time has come again in the long arc of history when calling evil, evil, has become of paramount importance.

The technological advances of humankind have made disinformation, lies and a manipulative technique called gaslighting a tool that is making it harder and harder for TRUTH to be recognized.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines gaslighting as “psychological manipulation“ to make someone question their “perception of reality” leading to “dependence on the perpetrator”.

Propaganda and disinformation are a new way to distort truth and fuel lies called “alternate facts” as a tool of evil that is striving to confuse people and empower the forces of evil.

In such a time, and against this effort “We the People” must stand strong. “We the People” must reject disinformation, gaslighting, alternate facts, and seek and stand for TRUTH.

Knowing What Is Truth

“We love truth because it’s the way we’re created by God. It’s built in, so to speak. And every step we take in the direction of valuing truth and resisting falsity moves us closer to understanding that God is Truth and to fulfilling Jesus’ promise that this all-important truth will heal us and make us free.” – CSMonitor.com

Wikitionary.org defines, “God’s honest truth” as, “Unquestionable, absolute truth.” Unfortunately, this doesn’t stop evil from trying to confuse TRUTH to manipulate humankind. I am reminded of Pontus Pilate at the crucifixion of Jesus, asking the crowd, “What is Truth.”

Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Pilate saith unto him, What is truth? And when he had said this, he went out again unto the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no fault at all.” -John 18:37-38 KJV

Fortunately, the way to answer that question and to determine not only what is true, but also inspire and inform you to know right from wrong was given to you, and to each and every person who makes up “we the people” and that is your Soul, your spiritual essence.

Your Soul is the spark of Divine Light that informs your consciousness of those lofty determinations of right from wrong no matter how many lies, alternate facts, and disinformation you are being fed. That spark of Divine Light is inherent and when called upon enables you to know TRUTH when you hear it.

TRUTH resonates within you. That is something upon Free Will relies. That is a safeguard upon which the wisdom of “We the people” counts and the group Soul of a people such as the Soul of America depends.

This is a determination, a choice that we are all being given across the planet.

Deep in the heart of humanity is an awareness of what is right, and even more important what is wrong. This innate knowledge is very important when we consider what seems to be happening in the world today.

Knowing what is right and acknowledging what is right is not enough. In order for the goodwill of humanity that empowers “We the People” there comes a time that it is necessary to make a stand. To make a choice and require and demand that the will of the people becomes the laws that govern people.

I suggest that time is now, especially in the United States of America, but also around the world for “We the People” to reject the manipulations of lies and disinformation and honor and demand TRUTH.

Fortunately, humanity has been created and endowed with an internal arbiter of truth that we only need to call upon to help us see through the illusions and lies that are being pitched by evil and that is the divine wisdom of your Soul.

Because at your creation you were endowed with a spark of Divine Light there is a built-in safety feature that signals what is right action, and whenever we as the greater group of humanity stray too far from doing what is right, that kernel of TRUTH, that spark of Divine Light that was given to humanity to guide it and teach it becomes activated.

The very essence and nature of the Soul is Love. So deep in your Soul and deep in your heart is the archetypal sense and awareness that Love is the guiding principle of what is good and right. What separates and divides people such as hate, with all of its superlativeness is wrong. The long arc of human history has proved this time and time again.

Every Divine World Teacher has taught humanity to “Love One Another.”

There is no path of religion or philosophy that advises hate to be the way “We the people” should interact with one another.

Love, or at the very least compassion and kindness is the common thread through all world religions and world philosophies advise.

Love is the INNER TRUTH that is the common denominator in all of humanity. It does not rely upon dogma, or the many divisions, lies, and hatred created in its desire to disrupt and divide the human family, because deep within every man, woman, and child there is a Soul whose very essence and nature is Love.

Although evil can delude and disguise TRUTH, humanity has proved time and time again that ultimately people reject evil and make a stand for right against wrong, good to overcome evil.

That time is NOW! You are being called to Make a Stand. You are being called to reject evil!

Called to Love

NOW is the time for us to learn how to demonstrate Love for One Another.

It has always struck me as significant that Jesus when He walked among us really only gave one commandment and that was that we “Love One Another” and He described and demonstrated how to do that by His example described “As I have loved you, so you must love one another…”

When you consider the life, the example of Jesus that is shared in the scriptures “We the people” are left with the understanding that Love is the path Jesus was advising that His disciples follow.

That is what those who call themselves His followers are being called to do.

As I ponder these profound life and social issues, I keep coming back to the understanding that each of us is given a choice, for that is both the power and the purpose of Free Will.

You can choose! You were created and are empowered to choose love over hate. You are called to choose TRUTH over lies! That is the power upon which Thomas Jefferson and all the Founding Fathers of the United States of America relied: that “We the People” would have the group strength and power to be our better angels to form and develop a more perfect union to stand as USA President Ronald Reagan once described America as “a shinning beacon standing on a hill.”

Time for you to choose!

Namaste,
Genevieve Gerard

Claim Your Destiny

Genevieve Gerard

It Is Never Too Late to Claim Your Destiny

From your times of childhood dreams and desires, a sense of destiny may have teased your mind.

Throughout your life, you may have argued with yourself to put aside those thoughts of destiny, telling yourself that, “life is what happens to you.” I believe the rest of that statement is, “while you are making other plans.”

Indeed, a great deal happens in life! If you simply expected life to lead your destiny it may seem fulfilling that sense of destiny was possible when you dared to dream.

But then life happened. You made choices that didn’t work out the way you planned. You made mistakes. You began to no longer trust yourself, or more seriously to trust your life to lead you to your destiny. You may have lost hope, become discouraged, become complacent, or even contented.

What do you feel it is that keeps holding you back?
Is it the things that people have said you are not good at?
Is it something people have told you that you lack?
Is it a personal characteristic or physical trait that you are subconscious of?
– Claim Your Destiny by Sugar Ray Destin, Jr.

After all, you may have thought and reasoned, those were childhood dreams, childhood images, and you are now an adult. You have put away childish things. Life, you thought, is what is happening, good or bad, positive or negative, it is what is real. Dreams, and certainly dreams or a sense of destiny guiding and even directing you, are not really real.

Yet for some strange reason, in the quiet recesses of your mind, in the undirected and undisciplined mind chatter, you find fragments of those childhood dreams and that sense of destiny compelling you, and you may find a bittersweet tear in your eye as you smile and morn the dream that has never manifested in your life.

You may conclude that it is too late for your life to change. You may think that the die has been cast. If you believe in such things, you may even sigh and say, “well, maybe next life.”

As I am meditating and pondering on destiny, I am aware that as long as there is life, there is hope.
– Genevieve Gerard

I am reminded of the powerful and impersonal law of the Universe that “energy follows thought.” And I am aware that the sense of destiny that formed so many childhood fantasies and dreams is so often the initial contact of your Soul revealing to you your life’s purpose.

As I write these words and go deeper into these thoughts of my mind and of my Soul, about destiny, I am reminded that within these childhood daydreams there may be, for many, a first contact and subtle connection with an Angel, an Angel who foretold or forecast about your future and destiny.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step.
– Lao Tzu

As I ponder and consider destiny and Soul purpose, I am reminded that it is never too late to fulfill your Soul purpose. I ask you to stop and pause and take a few moments to dream and remember what you once dared to think and dream about your life and about your purpose before you made the compromises or accepted the limiting beliefs that structure your reality today.

I ask you to pause to ask yourself when and why you left your dreams and your sense of destiny behind.

I ask you to meditate upon and consider what you feel your Soul is directing you toward. I invite you to “calm your mind, open your heart, and invite the Light.”

As you do this, I encourage you to open your mind and your heart to new possibilities.

I invite you to open to and consider new opportunities.

I ask you to imagine any limiting beliefs falling away from you and gathering around your feet like old used and dirty clothes. As they lie there on the ground imagine the breeze of an Angel stirring them, as they gather into scraps of flotsam and jetsam and form into a white bird as they take wing and fly away across a clear blue sky until they have flown out of site and are no longer in the field of your thoughts.

I invite and encourage you to, with a calm mind and open heart, invite into your awareness the Light of your Soul and let it spark your intuition and inspiration to reaffirm and align your life with your Soul purpose no matter what the situation or circumstances in which you currently find yourself, right here, right now, today.

I ask you to consciously invite your Soul to claim your destiny and align you will with your Soul purpose as you affirm and confirm with the words of power:

Purpose Itself Am I

I invite you to do the following guided visualization and claim your destiny today.

Aligning & Igniting with Your Soul Purpose

Take a moment to decide that you desire to live out the balance of your days aligning with and fulfilling your destiny.

Gather your journal and sit and quietly let your mind drop your everyday focus. Let yourself dream. Let your imagination be free.

Take in a very deep and relaxing breath and let your body surrender to the support of your chair, realizing you are being supported by the chair, which is supported by the floor, which is supported by the earth. This support is available to you through the Law of Gravity and is part of the support you receive as a child of God. It is one of many natural laws that are available to help you manifest your dreams.

Take in another deep breath imagining you are, with that breath, inviting the Light of your Soul to ignite your intuition and enflame your inspiration.

For a brief span of moments, suspend judgments and relax your logical mind. Release with a deep and relaxing breath all criticism of yourself. Let blame go. Let yourself just be and let your mind be free.

Continue drawing in deep, relaxing, and fulfilling breaths, as you, with each exhale, release any fears that may emerge or any thoughts that may be discouraging as you simply draw upon the resources of your Higher Self (your Soul) to empower your life.

Take the time to build a pathway of Light from the top of your head to your heart. Imagine that Light is infused and ignited by a Light above your head that glows with the radiance of your Soul. As you breathe in, imagine that Light igniting and inspiring your imagination. See that Light stimulating your creativity.

With your exhale as you release your breath, consciously and with intention put the past behind you. As you do this, realize you are releasing old bonds that have held you. Let them go!

Now, as you draw in a new breath, bring with it from the unlimited abundance of the force of life itself all that you need to manifest in your life your destiny.

Bring the energy deep into your heart and ponder on and consider what truly is your heart’s desire. Imagine that desire expanding the breadth and reach of your heart.

For a cycle to 3 or more breaths, let your energy circulate and stimulate the path from your Soul to the top of your head and then to your heart. As you sit with that circulation, allow your energy to continue to release self-criticism and judgment and let yourself absorb and enjoy the free flow of freedom that inspires and ignites your creativity.

This moment, this meditation offers you new opportunities. And since you have released the past and entered into the present, you are standing on a threshold of possibilities that have never been before. The energy of this moment, this Now is new. Claim it. Create with it what is your Soul purpose, what is your life purpose, what you now dare to dream, and only in the NOW dare to do.

Sit quietly and calmly merely breathing in and breathing out allowing and accepting the wisdom of your Soul to infuse you until you feel ready to return to the requirements and routines of your life assured that there are new possibilities and new opportunities that you can claim and incorporate into your life as you move forward.

Before you leave this experience behind, please take a few moments to record the thoughts you have had, the ideas that have emerged from the chatter of your mind, aware that within them may well be the wisdom of your Soul and the guiding whisper of your Angels.

Last, offer gratitude and appreciation for your experience in this mediation and then go forth and consider all the ideas and impressions you have received.

– GG

Let Your Dream Grow

Your destiny does not always reveal itself overnight. Don’t expect to make one significant change in your life and see the results the next day. These insights into your destiny and the actions you take in life take time. You have to let your Soul do its work and you also have to let the universe do its thing. Just remember, today is truly the first day of the rest of your life.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Only You Can Control Your Mind

Genevieve Gerard

Only You Can Control Your Mind

A part of the human experience is the mind, your mind.

Your mind can be the most creative and influential tool that you possess, or it can be the source of mind wrenching and painful anxiety.

And, although especially when you are trapped in the throes of fear, worry, and stress it may seem to be a force that is greater than you, you and only you have the power to use your thoughts to empower you, or let anxiety, fear, and worry destroy you.

Recently, I read that anxiety is the most significant problem from which people suffer. Yet, anxiety is a problem of the mind and emotions. Anxiety is a problem that is entirely self-generated. Anxiety is a trap of your mind blended with a strong dose of fear.

If you suffer from anxiety, you may think it is something that just happens, but anxiety is a result of what you are thinking and feeling.

You may also believe that your thoughts and your feelings just happen, and are beyond your control, but that is simply not true. What you think is within your power to control.

Anxiety is produced by the content of your thoughts and then enhanced by your fears.
– Genevieve Gerard

For over five thousand years and throughout the ageless teachings on meditation, learning to calm, and control the content of your mind has been the goal of meditation.

In the teachings of the Buddha, as he engaged in his search for enlightenment, he is reported to have described the human mind as being like a bunch of drunken monkeys.

Ancient schools of meditation refer to the “chattering of the mind” as “Chitta.” Therefore, I believe, quieting and gaining mastery over your mind “Chitta” is the way to win mastery over any anxiety or fear you may have.

Consider if you will how the content of your thoughts impacts your anxiety. Thoughts of worry become laced with fear especially when you let your mind engage in “what if thoughts.” You can spin out thousands of “what if scenarios” that will fuel your anxiety. What if it doesn’t work out, what if they don’t like me, what if I never get over my fear of __________, what if I never do anything with my life? These “what if” thoughts can run in the background of your mind creating anxiety and negative thought-forms.

Take five minutes observation and let me guide you through the first steps to reduce your “what if” fears and anxiety with this simple exercise.

An Anti-Anxiety Exercise

Set a timer for five minutes.

Get a piece of paper out and for the next five minutes count and record how many times your mind starts a thought with the “what if” words.

Don’t worry about what the content of the what if thought is. Just count the number of times you lead into thought with “what if.” If you notice a particular “what if” thought is repetitive, and for most of us there will be several “what if” thoughts that repeat themselves during your five minutes, record the content of that thought.

At the end of the exercise stop and look at the number of times your “mind chatter” engaged in imagining what you fear could happen or might happen.

Once you have made that count, take the second step by noticing the content of your fears. Realizing that the “what ifs” are not something that is real or that has ever happened. They are only creations of your fears and imagination.

Noticing this makes it possible to begin to gain mastery over your mind, and by extension gain mastery over your life.

As the second step of this exercise, I suggest you continue to pay attention to the content of your thoughts for a few more minutes from a perspective of what I call the detached observer. When you notice a “what if” thought that contains circumstance of what you fear rather than what you want, pause, consider the thought and edit it, change it, revise it, and reframe it to what you do want.

Because your thoughts have power, it is crucial for your personal happiness that you free your mind from worries and fears. You are the creator of your reality because the Universe takes its creative power from your thoughts.

That makes your thoughts very important.

Gaining mastery over the content of your mind is the way to empower you to free yourself from anxiety and fear and more importantly, live your dreams and be happy. Paying attention to the content of your thoughts and imaginings is the way you can change and heal your life.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.
– Norman Vincent Peal

Your thoughts contain your creative power, and they are available only to you. Nobody can do it for you, and nobody can do it to you. By understanding this, you claim your power to live your dreams and your deepest desires. Ponder on this. You are the director of your life.

Learning to quiet the negative input of your fears begins the empowering process of mind-mastery. You must begin by noticing the content of your mind chatter and then choose to take control of it.

You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.
– Marcus Aurelius

You alone have the power to unlock your mind. Your mind is more powerful than you imagine. Your mind activates your creative power. What you choose to create with that power is a part of your free-will.

It is essential to understand this important fact because it is by using the power of your mind to create the life of your dreams and desires that you open yourself to the full potential of what it means to be a human being.

You are created to live your life in active co-creation with the Creator. Your happiness, your sorrow, your joys, and your challenges are all within your creative power through the power of your mind.

What you create through that power is your choice. This creative power is a part of the mystery of the miracle of creation when a spark of Divine Light (your Soul) joined with the creative process of fertilization that resulted in your birth. Yes, you are a physical being, but I also know you are a Spiritual being, a creator of life in harmony and cooperation with the creator of all of life.

Your thoughts have the power to bring energy into manifestation.
– Genevieve Gerard

That creative process occurs with thought. A thought, every thought, is a part of that creative process. Your life force and every thought-form is energy and energy is subject to the Universal Principle of Life. One of the Laws of the Universe is that “energy follows thought.”

The challenge with this law is that energy follows thought without judgment about the content of the thought. There is no safety mechanism to make the energy follow only positive thoughts that bring about what you want or desire. You and only you are that safety mechanism as you learn to control your mind and direct the content of your thoughts.

That is a great freedom and a great power. However, if you are spending that power on worrying, being fearful, anxiously projecting through “what if” this (bad thing) or “what if” that (bad thing) can happen, you are using that power against yourself.

If you don’t want to create your worst fears, then you need to learn to harness this fantastic creative power by learning to control your mind.

The simple exercise listed above is a tool you can use to start to help you gain control over the power of your mind. Don’t forget, to live the life you desire, the life of your dreams, living in the now and controlling the thoughts of your mind is essential.

Letting your Chitta and mind chatter float willy-nilly out into the Universe as an instruction manual for your life is wasting the power you were granted when the spark of Divine Light (your Soul) merged with the creation of your life.

Because there is always free will, and you always have the choice to create your fears or create your dreams I ask you to understand that only you can control your mind. From that understanding, I encourage you to harness that power and use it for you to transform your life.

Below I list some other articles and a guided meditation I have written to help cleanse and empower you. Remember, it is your life. This life is your adventure. You can claim this power.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Genevieve Gerard

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety

Anxiety in life is a problem.

It’s estimated that approximately 10 percent of teenagers and 40 percent of adults suffer from anxiety of some kind in the United States.

Globally, 1 in 13 suffers from anxiety.

Surprisingly women are twice as likely to be affected as men according to the Anxiety and Depression Association.

According to the Anxiety Centre,

Those who have an anxiety may show these conditions:

Regularly feel overwhelmed
Feel nervous in many social situations
Are more often sick
Regularly feel unsettled
Often feel out of control of their health and life
Experience higher levels of overall stress
Often struggle with low self-esteem

Read more anxiety conditions…

Have difficulty managing pressure

Have higher expectations of themselves and others

Feel returned love is performance-based

Often have unhealthy boundaries

Are often workaholics

Often have unhealthy relationships

Visit the doctor more often

Tax the medical system (with frequent trips to their doctor or emergency rooms)

Are more likely to take medications

Are more likely to have other health problems

Are overall more unhappy

Experience erratic emotional behaviors

Feel disconnected or detached from reality and life

Often feel they are just on the edge of losing control

Often aren’t reliable (because their symptoms may prevent them from following through)

Become inward focused and dwell on their health condition and personal problems

May jump from relationship to relationship in search of perfection

May jump from job to job because of higher levels of stress

Live a restricted lifestyle (within their self-imposed “safe zones”)

Feel life is passing them by

Question their faith and God’s presence in their lives

Feel at a distance from God

Often quick to get angry

Unfortunately, they also state that only 10% of those suffering from anxiety receive effective help.

I believe that the issue on which you may have focused anxiety is actually focused on an illusion around which you have woven sufficient energy through your fears that it can feel very real.

It is important to realize that feeling something is real does not make it real. It is important to recognize this when you want to conquer your anxiety.

If you sit quietly and examine your thoughts and feelings that are fueling your anxiety, you will most likely realize that it is a lot of projections that begin by imagining “what if ____ happens?”

That awareness begins to unravel the substance of the anxiety to allow you to be free from it when you realize that whatever you are imagining has not happened, and may not likely happen.

You must remember that your fears and your anxiety are a projection of your mind, mixed in with your imagination, not only about what “could happen” but often what you imagine others could be thinking or feeling.

None of your imaginings are real or true.

Realizing that your anxiety and the thoughts and emotions that are creating and fueling your anxiety are neither real or the truth, is a first step in relieving yourself from the tyranny of anxiety with which you are torturing yourself.

It might sound strange but a way to relieve your anxiety is to understand the principles of how the Universe works.

Unfortunately, when you suffer from anxiety, you are using a Universal Law that “Energy Follows Thought.” That principle, that Law, is a gift and when rightly used can empower you to stand as a co-creator with the Creator and manifest the life of your dreams.

The Universal Law that energy follows thought becomes distorted and destructive when you let your fears use this dynamic creative energy to create a web and maze that begins to take on the substance of matter to lock you into your thoughts and mind.

By using the creative power of your imagination, you can, unfortunately, feed your fears and fundamental distrust of life until your anxiety is so painful and intense that it can control your life. However, you can use the same principle to free yourself from your anxiety.

The Law that energy follows thought is real manifests from an aspect of the Law of Attraction. However, when you are trapped in the emotional experience of anxiety, you have turned that power against yourself.

Anxiety is the result of creating in your emotional body and mind, all of the horrors and nightmares you can imagine, and being an intelligent and creative being, you can imagine a lot.

The Keys To Free Yourself From Anxiety

The question with which you are faced with if you suffer from anxiety is how to free yourself from that trap? The most powerful tool that you can wield when experiencing anxiety is the TRUTH.

Discriminating between what is real vs. what is created by fear, worry and anxiety is the key to freeing you from being trapped by the tyranny of your emotions and your mind.

Asking yourself for a reality check is a dynamic tool for relieving anxiety. Is this real? Did it happen? Or, am I just projecting and imagining what could happen?

The power of your thought is to create, however; you can have control over your thoughts.

Even though the creative power of your mind can be incredible, the illusion can feel so real that you can feel powerless to release it. I believe because your anxiety is created by emotional and astral energy, it cannot manifest in the world of matter.

The key words in this thought are that it “feels real.” Just because something feels real does not make it real. So one of the steps in relieving anxiety is to begin to be aware that the feeling is an illusion. That does not mean that doesn’t seem real, but appearing real and being real is different.

The good news for you, if you suffer from anxiety, is that you have proved that you have a compelling mental body. When you learn to use that force for you rather than against yourself you can use it activate your power to manifest your dreams and desires.

To release yourself from the tangled web of emotions and fears that have kept you trapped inside the web of anxiety you have woven, you need to understand how to use your creative energy.

Once you have allowed your fears to form and to become so much substance it produces anxiety, it is critical to shift and engage in the process of transmutation, transformation and ultimately transcendence.

That power is yours. That ability is uniquely yours.

The truth is that there is no actual stress or anxiety in the world; it’s your thoughts that create these false beliefs. You can’t package stress, touch it, or see it. There are only people engaged in stressful thinking.
– Wayne Dyer

You can relieve and release your feelings of anxiety by applying a test of truth to them.

Doing that works with the laws of energy that respect the fact that whereas you cannot destroy energy, you can change its form.

When you change its form, you can relieve your anxiety and release your fears. Once you have done this, you can use the creative talent that you honed to perfection in creating anxiety to create the life you desire.

You can use the same Universal Law and power that you turned against yourself to gain mastery of your life.

Relieving anxiety and transmuting, transforming and transcending the emotion of fear that underlies and is interwoven within it requires a conscious choice.

To help you with that choice I have created a short simple visualization exercise to start to relieve and release your anxiety.

Relieve and Release Your Anxiety Visualization

Click play icon below to listen to me reading this visualization to you (under 2 minutes)..

Sit quietly and begin to breathe deeply.

Fill your lungs from the bottom up, first relaxing your stomach muscles. As you take more and more air into your lungs, let your chest expand and fill.

Then let the air expand into the upper part of your lungs even raising your shoulders a bit topping off your breath.

Imagine a flock of white birds before you. These are healing birds, here to take your anxiety away.

As you breathe out give your breath to this healing flock of birds. Let them absorb your anxieties and fears until you have no more air in your lungs to offer them.

Now, imagine, visualize, see them flying away. They are flying higher and higher, further and further away from you until they are out of sight, and out of mind.

Now let your breath return to normal. You may be aware of how much more peaceful and calm you feel, right now.

You can do this little exercise whenever you need to release your anxiety.

Tools to Release Your Fears and Anxieties

There is, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom a meditation technique that works to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts.

It is a technique that I used in my own spiritual life hundreds of times a day to gain mastery over my fears and anxieties.

It is such a powerful and life-transforming technique that I created two guided meditations to teach it. 1.) A shorter and simpler version called “I Am Feeling Free” and 2.) A longer and more detailed version called “Feeling Free.”

These meditations, once you learn how to move the energy with intention, can be done in less than a minute.

They can also be done as you move through your daily life to release your fears and anxieties as soon as you become aware that you are becoming trapped by them. What is great is that no one else can see you or know you are using them. It puts you in control of your feelings.

You move the energy with the power of your mind, your intention, your will, your breath and the engagement of your Higher Self.

You are, with these brief meditations able to exercise your control in your life, over your mind and emotions. It is your power to use.

Becoming free of your anxiety, freeing your life from the tyranny of fear will change your life.

Unweaving the web of anxiety that you have built and created takes using these tools that have been handed down by those who guided humanity on the path of enlightened awareness for eons.

These meditative tools are now available to help you master your fears and anxieties so you can be and become all that you are meant to be, that you can live the life of your dreams and fulfill your Soul’s purpose in this life.

Know that meditation can be the portal to your Soul (your Higher Self). You can use the power of your Soul to free you from your anxiety and fears and to empower you to use your mind as a force for good in your life and good in the world.

Isn’t today the day you would like to begin the process of unraveling the illusions and fears that have kept you trapped within your anxieties? There is no better time than Right NOW to Take Control of your life.

Your intention to transform your life and heal your life is an excellent place to start.

Your fears do not serve or help you. And, indeed, your anxieties do not serve you or empower you.

It is your choice to make, but it is both possible and advantageous for you to choose mastery over this life challenge.

Today is the day, and now is the moment that you can choose to live your life freeing yourself, being and becoming your whole self.
– Genevieve Gerard

With the right help and healing, those who have experienced an anxiety condition can:

Regain control of their health and life
Live a balanced, happy, and fulfilling life
Have happier and more fulfilling relationships
Become the individual they always thought they could be
Reconnect with life in a more rewarding and satisfying way
Live an unrestricted lifestyle ready to tackle any challenge

Read more benefits of overcoming anxiety…

Express themselves like never before

Experience a more stable work environment

Freedom from medication and/or drug use

Reconnect with their faith and feel God’s presence

Have a closer relationship with God

Live a more accepting life, appreciating uniqueness and imperfection

These are just a few of the many benefits healing and a return to renewed health can bring.

Now is the moment to call upon the strength of your Higher Self to empower your personality. It is your life and your choice. I recommend freedom. I recommend truth over fear and illusion. I recommend taking control and finally feeling free of anxiety.

Namaste,

Genevieve

What Are You Grateful For

Genevieve Gerard

What Are You Grateful For?

Take a minute and think about abundance and gratitude during the Thanksgiving Day holiday (in the U.S.A.)

It seems to be a good time to consider the importance of gratitude in life.

It is an excellent time to take a moment to consider how being grateful can impact and influence your life.

One thing that I am aware of as I pause to look at my life with an attitude of gratitude is that there is always something for which I am grateful.

It can be a very small or simple thing, for what is more important than that for which I am grateful. And it is what happens in my consciousness when I express my gratitude.

The amazing thing is that the very moment in which I identify something for which I am thankful my perspective changes, and I am invited to experience hope, love, and joy.

You might ask why do hope, love, and joy spring into my consciousness when I am thankful? To understand that opens me to understanding one of the primary laws of the Universe. The Law that “energy follows thought.”

The Universal Law of Energy Follows Thought

That universal law is how you as a human being are an active force in co-creation with the Creator. It is through this Universal Law that “energy follows thought” that you possess a power you can wield in the world. Each time you take the time to notice and appreciate what is good in the world and beautiful in your life, you participate in the work of creating more of what you enjoy in the world.

This concept that “energy follows thought” is the cornerstone of the Law of Abundance. It is the mechanism through which you as a human being, endowed with the spark of Divine Light, are invited to be a co-creator with the Creator of Life. In this statement is a profound truth that reveals deep magic. Ponder on this.

It is this understanding you can use to create the life of your dreams. It is a power you can wield to fulfill your Soul’s purpose and manifest it in the world.

It is a powerful tool that requires clarity and consistency. For that reason, it is often ignored or misunderstood.

What it is essential to understand the Law of Attraction is that it is a law. It is always at work. It does not discriminate between thoughts of what you want and thoughts of what you fear. The energy is activated into creation by the thought.

If you wish to use the Law of Attraction to manifest what you dream and desire, you must learn to control your thoughts. The endless chatter of your mind only creates confusion.

Whenever you send out a hodgepodge of fear, mixed in with half-formed ideas that switch to different half-formed ideas, the Universe does not know what to create for you. It does not know what you want.

Only you can tell the Universe when you want to activate the Law of Attraction. To do that you must learn to harness the power of your mind.

Un-disciplined mind chatter sends out confused requests to the Universe. It is also usually so interwoven with your fears that it becomes like listening to the mindless chatter of a bunch of drunken monkeys as the Buddha described the contents of the mind, many years ago.

A Time For Gratitude

This day of Thanksgiving (in November in the US and October in Canada) is a time when you consistently and consciously focus on what you appreciate in order to activate terrific energy in your life.

Focusing on gratitude is a force to release Hope, Love, and Joy.
– Genevieve Gerard

As I mention above, I associate focusing on gratitude as a force to release Hope, Love, and Joy.

To take advantage of this special time to empower your life and support you in manifesting your Soul Purpose and fulfill your dreams, I offer you a little no-cost simple exercise anyone can do. I suggest you give this activity at least 10 or 15 minutes.

If you keep a journal, I suggest you get your journal and use it for this exercise. If you don’t have a journal, just get out some paper and a pen to record your thoughts and feelings.

Gratitude & Blessings Exercise

This exercise is to ignite the Law of Abundance and demonstrate how the dynamic principle that “energy follows thought” helps you manifest in the world.

While you are doing it, it is imperative that you maintain awareness of what you are thinking. If you observe a negative thought, fear, or a limiting belief slipping in, stop immediately and reframe, edit and bring your thoughts back into alignment with the attitude of gratitude.

It does not matter how much time you have set aside to do this gratitude exercise, you need to stop and reframe any negative thoughts. Do not let a fearful or negative thought remain unedited. Each time you catch yourself sending out an idea that conflicts with what you want, STOP, Correct, and reframe that thought into what you desire.

I suggest you read these instructions once through and then come back and do the exercise.

Now let’s get started by relaxing and centering your energies. Take a deep, relaxing and satisfying breath.

Then, for the next 10-15 minutes write as fast as you can as many of the things for which you are grateful…

They can be simple and small things or significant and grand things. Just capture as many as you can on paper while making sure you do not let any thoughts that are fear based or limiting remain unedited or uncorrected.

Do this free of judgment or self-criticism. If you catch yourself being negative or fearful, just let it go and focus on the corrections, editing, and reframing of the thought. If you catch yourself being fearful, release that fear with a deep breath.

Let your energy re-center with the intentions of finding as many blessings as you can count to create your “What Am I Grateful For” Gratitude & Blessing List.

Return to writing and pondering the many things you appreciate about your life.

When your allocated time is finished, take the time to read over the list. When you hit upon something or someone for which you are especially thankful, smile. If it is someone, let a beam of love go from your heart to theirs and in your mind, bless them and thank them.

You might notice how happy and contented this little exercise has made you feel. You might be aware of how much hope you feel. Your heart may be full of Love along with the gratitude.

Then, I suggest that you take this list of written blessings and review it every morning for 30-days.

Observe the difference this makes in your life.

I would love to hear your comments below about your experience with this exercise.

With Love and Support for you to Be and Become All That You Can Be.

Namaste,

Genevieve

The Blessing of Love on all that you do!

P.S. The Law of Love, the Law of Attraction and the Laws of Karma positively ignite when you demonstrate your appreciation through support.

Understanding the dynamics of what must take place to create a true life-transforming healing miracle is important because within that dynamic we see without any hesitation the most practical and profound aspect of spirituality.

Celebrate Every One of Your Accomplishments

Genevieve Gerard

Celebrate Every One of Your Accomplishments

Life is a fantastic journey fraught with perils and pitfalls. There are many dangers along the way. That is why I think it is important that you make it a habit to consciously celebrate your accomplishments.

This morning, as I began to ponder this a young man I am providing Life Guidance Coaching to gave me a call. In supporting his growth, I had the opportunity to consider ways that you can celebrate your successes that work. Some of the ways you can celebrate your success may seem silly or hoky, but they work.

Being human I am often hard on myself. You may be hard on yourself too. Being hard on yourself is human nature. Expecting a lot, or even perfection from yourself is one of life’s potential pitfalls.

You’re Not Perfect

Of course, you can’t be perfect. No one can!

Years ago, I traveled to Iran. In the tradition of the great Persian Empire rug making is a tradition. As a tourist, I wanted to see how that great art and beauty were accomplished. I went to a place in Isfahan where fantastic silk rugs were created. The rugs were amazing. As I admired the workmanship, I spoke with the owner. He proudly showed me that each rug had woven into it a small flaw. He said that was done as a reminder that only God is perfect.

In that little shop in Isfahan, a great truth about life was honored. You don’t have to be perfect. Only God is perfect.

Celebrate Your Accomplishments

It is because you cannot be perfect that it is especially important for you to celebrate your successes. You may note that I speak in the plural because your accomplishments can be little victories that may come easy to others, but for you were challenges.

In speaking this morning to the young man I am coaching I suggested he make a little checklist of 3 to 5 things he needs to do every day, and then when he has done them, as he does them, give himself a sticky star. This simple ritual may seem elementary, but this little celebration of success serves as a reinforcement for you to accomplish what you are striving to do. This little technique is especially helpful when you are trying to establish positive habits in your life.

By doing a specific activity for 21 days in a row, that activity becomes a habit. You begin to incorporate that habit into your daily routine. This technique is a powerful way to build positive action into your life. The more often you repeat the positive action, the easier it becomes to do.

When you use a technique like this, it is important that you keep your expectations of yourself realistic and simple. The sheets of stick stars are most often found in sheets of red, green, blue and gold work really well. They are inexpensive, and you can ascribe different values to the different things you are trying to accomplish.

This simple exercise can also help you observe your life from the perspective of what you have conquered or accomplished. The victories of overcoming addictions, such as cigarettes, the urge to drink or drug, the urge to overeat, learning to manage your anger, are all behaviors that respond well to positive reinforcement.

Likewise, for many, positive habits and discipline, such as daily meditation and exercise, respond to the celebration of success once you have completed the regimen. Although it is true that these positive habits are their own reward, a silly way to celebrate your success of building these habits into your life is a way of honoring yourself and your growth and loving and supporting yourself.

Another technique that I have found to be effective is that when you complete and accomplish a task, get up and do a little happy dance. Not only does that signal joy and celebration at the accomplishment, but it gives you the opportunity to get your circulation going and breath engaged in a way that brings in more Prana (Life Force) and therefore stimulates your creativity.

In group efforts, the celebration ritual of the “high five” builds greater cohesiveness with the work team and gives everyone a sense of completion and satisfaction. These little rituals may seem unimportant and silly, but they signal your consciousness in a positive way.

Building into your life the habit of celebrating your success gives you a visceral experience of accomplishment. Suspend your judgment and look at your life objectively. Do you feel joy when you accomplish a goal? Is the completion of a task or project an opportunity to acknowledge and honor yourself? Or do you just trudge forward from one duty to the next one in an endless drudgery of too much work performed amidst too little appreciation?

If it is the latter, I suggest that you build in the habit of celebrating your successes. Whether it is one of the silly techniques or rituals suggested on this blog, or a celebration that has a meaning only to you. I recommend you build in a way to confirm and acknowledge to yourself the satisfaction of success.

It will increase your joy. It will support you in the fulfillment of your life purpose. It will energize and inspire you. It will empower you.

Celebrating your success helps you have a “success conscious.” It enhances your innovation and your creativity.

Check out my Awaken to Success CD or MP3’s, which give you 21 positive affirmations for abundance. Use these to empower yourself to create the life of your dreams.

Success comes to those who become success conscious.
― Napoleon Hill

I encourage you to celebrate your successes, large and small. Let each accomplishment be a victory whether it seems large or small to the world is not what is important. Many of the most challenging battles you face in life are in your personal habits. Conquering your addictions, no matter how small are always a cause for celebration.

Overcoming your fears sufficiently to do something you want to do or need to do is always a success.

I ask that you not reserve your celebration of your success to only the massive and dramatic successes in your life. Whether your challenge is only to do the tasks on your to-do list or your challenge is to gain mastery over your mind chatter, celebrate each win.

Below, I am including an additional technique that can give you an opportunity to have successes you can celebrate and transform and empower your life. I call it the technique of the detached observer.

The Detached Observer Technique

One technique that I have found valuable in my own practice and in my years of coaching and counseling people is that you begin just by self-observation.

I recommend starting with committing just 3 minutes a day to consciously observe your thoughts. When you observe a negative or fear-based thought flash through your mind, edit it, correct it and replace it with a conscious thought of what you want and are striving to manifest in your life.

This self-observation, edit, correct (with intention) and replace technique is most important and empowering when what crosses your mind is a fear. To do this consciously and with intention is best achieved in a meditative state while aligning with your Higher Self and focusing upon your life’s purpose. In this alignment, you have a greater vision.

This technique is best done free of self-judgment or criticism (each of which works against achieving positive thoughts to replace the negative and fear-based chatter of the “Monkey Mind.”)

I refer to this as a meditative state because it is not really meditation, but as you are seeking to consciously align with your Soul and your Soul purpose in life you are in a higher state of consciousness and keener awareness than just thinking. So this exercise of observation from the perspective of the “detached observer” is a bridge between normal uncontrolled and casual thinking and meditation.

This can be a powerful and transforming technique. As I mentioned I recommend starting with this technique 3 minutes every day. That may seem very short but if you really consider and catch most of your negative thoughts to edit, and revise and replace the thought, you will have made a huge step forward in your ability to harness the power of your mind and learn to quiet the chattering mind. This simple (although sometimes not easy) step is important in learning to meditate and to empower your life.

In teaching this technique to my coaching clients, most have observed that a daily practice of this technique begins a major transformation in their lives.

I suggest that you start out using this method for 3 minutes a day for 30 days. Three minutes of your day is not very much. However, three minutes is enough to demonstrate my point. Three minutes is sufficient to describe the energy you are sending out.

Celebrate your successes, check off your achievements on your to-do list. Acknowledge your ever-growing mastery of your emotions, your mind, and furthering your alignment with your Soul (Higher Self) to fulfill those all-important steps in life’s dance.

As you journey through your adventure of life, there are many opportunities for success, large and small. Each victory, each accomplishment is important. Life is about learning however, it is also about doing and being.

I encourage you to build celebrating your accomplishments into your life as a way of expanding your success consciousness.

Namaste,

Genevieve

You Need To Experience The Power of Hope

Genevieve Gerard

You Need To Experience The Power of Hope

Hope is a very powerful energy.

Some thoughts generate more energy than others because they tap into a reservoir in the collective unconscious of humanity and thus become energized and magnetized.

Hope brings with it a promise of possibility and promise.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul – and sings the tunes without the words – and never stops at all.
– Emily Dickinson

It is a little known and less understood phenomenon that the planet is surrounded by a field of energy in which is stored the aggregate emotions of humanity since the dawn of time. That energy is, in the teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, known as the astral field.

Like all energy the astral-emotional field is invisible. And, like all energy, it cannot be destroyed, but you can change its form. Hope is one of those emotions that works to do just that.

Just the simple understanding of human nature reveals that in a field of energy where the aggregate of all of the emotions of humanity is stored, there is a lot of fear. Legend tells us that it is in the astral field that the monsters and dragons of archetypal legends are stored.

The ancient gargoyles that grace the architecture of medieval cathedrals are said to have their home in the astral field. Nightmares are believed by some to be the result of your consciousness traveling to this energetic plane in your sleep.

It isn’t wise to spend a lot of time or thought dwelling on this plane of energy. The universal principle that “energy follows thought” is sufficient to explain why directing your consciousness into the astral plane is a mistake.

For most people, they have enough of a battle against fear, without entering into an awareness of the stored terror of all of humanity. In general, the astral plane is best avoided as a destination for your consciousness. Particularly talented horror fiction writers often use this energy to create their stories. It is not unusual for people to have nightmares and waves of fear after reading horror stories or seeing horror movies. Your consciousness goes where you direct your attention. I have never recommended directing your consciousness to terror and fear.

Likewise, part of the energetic harm that drugs and alcohol do to your consciousness is that it can open your energy to the astral plane. That is true of even some prescription drugs as well as recreational drugs.

However, when you consider the negative energies of the astral field it is also important to consider what you can do to release and transmute the fears that are stored there. Take a moment and consider what you can do to free your life from any fears you may have.

Replace Your Fears With Hope

Transmuting, transforming and transcending fears and negative emotions is one of the major steps in our spiritual evolution. This emotional transforming experience is known as the second initiation.

There are some things that may help you transmute these fears.

As I mentioned earlier it is a rule of physics that you cannot destroy energy, but you can change its form. This is a key part of your ability to change your consciousness.

The transformation of negative consciousness is so important to me that I have devoted many of my publicly disseminated products on instruction about it. They are my Feeling Free and I Am Feeling Free meditations.

These two guided meditations teach you how to calm strong emotions and transmute fears and doubts. In these two meditations are the directions for changing your life.

Both of these meditations are taken from the deep esoteric practice of the Ageless Wisdom that has been passed down for generations. After years of practicing this meditative technique in my own life to learn to conquer my fears, I created the CD “Feeling Free.” Then I started teaching corporate executives and CEO’s stress management and from that, I was able to translate this esoteric technique into the simple (and shorter) guided meditation “I Am Feeling Free” that makes sense to the Western mind.

Freeing your mind from the limiting hold that fear can have is one of the most important things I teach.

As I am meditating on this concept of transforming and transmuting fear I am aware that when you release your own fears you are also working to release the hold that the astral plane has on humanity as a whole. In that way, not only is your releasing fear a way of improving your life, but also an act of service for humanity as a whole.

As I pondered upon and meditate on what I can do and we as humanity can do to make this world a better place, I realized that there is great power in hope.

Much like transcending your fears has a powerful impact upon your life, freeing you from the tyranny of emotions that are limiting, so to hope is freeing.

When you hope you are igniting the creative power to not only conquer your fears but find solutions for the problems that plague humanity.

There was never a night or a problem that could defeat sunrise or hope.
– Bernard Williams

Because “energy follows thought,” the thoughts of each of us, indeed all of us influence the creative process of the world we share.

We are all ONE, mystically and spiritually. The energy you create with your thoughts has an impact and an influence on the whole.

It is to have a positive influence on the world that I publish seed thoughts where I ask everyone to Imagine for 1 Minute something positive. You can follow these seed thoughts on my Imagine1Minute twitter feed, https://twitter.com/imagine1minute. I also post them on my Facebook Fan Business Page, http://www.facebook.com/gotogg/.

Harnessing the creative power of thought is a subtle way that you can serve humanity as a whole while benefiting your own life. It is an act of unity and brotherhood (and sisterhood) that works with the nature of life.

I believe that thoughts of hope counteract thoughts of fear.

Positive thoughts about not only your personal life but life as a whole also move energy to help create a more positive world.

Hope Experiment

Today I would like to invite you to join me in an experiment of hope. Over the next week, I will publish a seed thought on my Imagine1Minute twitter account and Facebook Fan page that focuses on creating and stimulating the energy of hope.

I need your help to add to the hope thought form every day! And, although the feed is called “Imagine 1 Minute” you don’t really have to focus on it for only a minute, just let the thought drift into your mind, and ponder on hope intermittently throughout your day.

If you enjoy and are empowered by ritual you can add it to lighting a candle for hope as I recommended in my recent post listed in the related links you may also like below.

Then, pay attention and observe your own thoughts and feelings throughout the day and observe the impact you are having on the world around you.

This little experiment has the potential to have a dynamic, yet subtle impact.

I would love to hear about your experiences in the comments section below on this article.

If you are willing to participate in this hope consciousness experiment, I also invite you to join my (free) consciousness community.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Will You Stand For Truth?

Genevieve Gerard

Will You Stand For Truth?

I do not spend my time writing about politics. That is not my life’s purpose. It is not my mission.

I do not even make political comments on Facebook.

My focus is on spiritual values and right relationships, love, harmlessness, right speech.

So, imagine my amazement when the direction I received from my Soul in my morning meditations was that I must write about the topic of truth. Now, I have written about truth before, but never because of something political. This is entirely new for me. But there are times in life when it is important to take a stand for truth.

Sadly, my stand today must have a political overtone to it. That stand is that I cannot be silent as I let the truth be hijacked by lies.

ALTERNATIVE FACTS

Kellyanne Conway, President and CEO of a Polling Company and Counselor to Donald Trump (the current President of the United States at the time of this post), came out to the American people trying to make obvious lies acceptable by calling them “alternative facts.” That is just wrong!

The truth is such a powerful force that I have often suggested that you listen to the inner promptings of truth as the arbiter of what you believe. I have even asked people to use that inner sense of truth to determine whether what I teach and say should influence their lives.

That, of course, comes from the understanding that truth is the truth, and, as such, has the resonance of the Soul to it. What is so very dangerous about this concept of “alternative facts” is that it is a perversion of truth and just plain evil in its nature.

Opinions are always open to interpretation. Your perspective on something can be modified, and that modification can determine how you experience something, particularly emotionally, however; a fact, by definition is a fact. It is objective and real, and it is not subjective.

The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it,
ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.
– Winston S. Churchill

DEFINITIONS OF FACT

Wikipedia Definition: A fact is something that has really occurred or is actually correct. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability—that is, whether it can be demonstrated to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable careful observation or measurement (by experiments or other means).

Merriam-Webster Definition: Something that truly exists or happens : something that has actual existence. : a true piece of information.

Dictionary.com Definition: Something that actually exists; reality; truth: A truth known by actual experience or observation.

When someone tries to convince people that something that is true is not a fact or an “alternate fact,” that is a lie.

It is important that you realize and understand this. It is important because truth is a powerful force for knowing what is good and right.

Jesus understood this and taught this when in John 8:32 he said,

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
– Jesus Christ (King James Bible)

The truth makes you free because that resonance that the truth responds to is the resonance of your Soul (and Love.) Connecting to the wisdom and promptings of your Soul is what guides you in right action in life. It is what makes clear what is right and what is wrong. It is The Truth.

ALTERNATIVE FACTS ARE JUST WRONG

Perhaps the most dangerous part of what is happening with this concept of “facts” is that you must silence the wisdom of your Soul to believe an “alternative fact,” which is not a fact at all, just a lie dressed up to serve a particular political agenda.

To play fast and loose with the truth is morally wrong. It is not ‘just politics,’ it is just wrong.

It is wrong because it is “Gaslighting“ (a common technique abusers, dictators, narcissists, and cult leaders use.) Because truth resonates deep within your heart, your mind, and your Soul, I believe a lie takes you to your dark side.

When spoken by someone in a position of leadership a lie can be dangerous. It is dangerous because people must move away from the knowing in their Soul when they try to believe a lie. The more they force themselves to believe a lie, the more they must reject their internal sense of knowing and connection with their higher source.

The Psychology Today website states that people who “Gaslight” mostly use the following techniques:

They tell you blatant lies.
They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.
They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
They wear you down over time.
Their actions do not match their words.
They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.
They know confusion weakens people.
They project (and accuse you of the same wrongdoing.)
They try to align people against you.
They tell you or others that you are crazy.
They tell you everyone else is a liar.

Do the techniques above sound familiar? You know what they are saying is an outright lie. Yet they are telling you this lie with a straight face. You know they said they would do something… you know you heard it. But they out and out deny it. It makes you start questioning your reality. And the more they do this, the more you question your reality and start accepting theirs.

Gaslighters are masters at manipulating and finding people they know will stand by them no matter what – and they will use these people against you. By telling you that everyone else (your family, the media) is a liar, it again makes you question your reality. What is so amazing is that you usually have never known someone with the boldness to do this, so they must be right, right? No! It’s a manipulation technique.

Many good and well-meaning people have let their love of their political party lead them down this slippery slope that evil will use. History has shown us, and I pray taught us, the evil consequences of people making compromises with truth. To compromise your morality is spiritually dangerous and can be politically disastrous.

Hitler’s propaganda chief supposedly said,

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it,
people will eventually come to believe it.
– Joseph Goebbels

Although it is not clear who first said this, it seems that idea predated Goebbels and Hitler. The bottom line is that harm is created with a lie and it brings you out of resonance with your inner sense of knowing, an inner moral compass which knows the “real” truth and directs your life.

That is why it is important to call a lie a lie and not dress it up with fancy words that dismiss and diminish the importance of the lie by calling it a falsehood. That is why the political art of spinning what happened is currently so damaging to the world.

Evil is tricky. It tries to dress itself up to look good. That is how it makes good people, moral people, complacent.

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil
is for good men to do nothing.
– Edmund Burke

The fact that this is the second time I have felt compelled to use the above quote in a brief span of time is because the world is at a tipping point. This is particularly the case in the United States of America, but as I ponder, meditate and pray about this issue, I realize the slippery slope of playing fast and loose with the truth has been going on for quite a while. This trend is not only in the United States but has been growing throughout the world.

TIME TO TAKE A STAND

As happens in the world, events and circumstances have emerged at this moment in time that requires you to decide what you believe.

It is a time to decide where do you stand? Do you stand for truth or are you willing to accept alternate facts, racist comments, and lies as truth?

When you get to the core of the above questions, they really are not just political but rather spiritual.

Many people have responded with anger and fear to the recent political decisions that have been made on both “sides of the pond,” as they call the Atlantic Ocean.

As Master Yoda put clearly in the movie Star Wars,

Fear is the path to the dark side.
Fear leads to anger.
Anger leads to hate.

The answer to the challenges of this world moment is not anger or hate.

The answer is Love.

Humanity has come to this critical moment in history not as an accident but as a crucial stage in our spiritual and moral evolution.

Choices lie before us; decisions that will affect not only our country and people but the evolution of the planet as a whole.

The consequences of greed and separateness are now becoming more apparent. What happens next is your choice. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

I believe it is more important to stand for what you believe than it is to stand against something.

The world your children will inherit, and your children’s children will inhabit is just one of the many decisions that hang in the balance of this moment of moral history.

I choose Love. Not the “sticky love of attachment and need” but the powerful transforming dynamic unconditional Love that Divinely inspires you throughout your human adventure of life.

Along with choosing Love, I choose Unity and Brotherhood (and Sisterhood). I choose Truth. I choose Justice. I choose Liberty.

I choose Right over wrong, and I choose Good over evil.

I invite and encourage you to look into your heart and connect with your Soul and make the choices that resonate as right for you and your country.

We the people of the world are at a time when it is necessary to decide and choose. I encourage you to choose Harmlessness, Right Speech, and Right Action not only for your highest good but for the highest good of all.

To make the right choice requires honoring the truth. That requires honesty not only with yourself but also with the world. Truth is not a “situational reality.” It is either real or not, a truth or a lie. Your Soul calls to you to honor what is true and take a stand. Thank you for taking the time to hear what I have to say and connect with the truth of your higher self. Please share this post and comment about how you feel.

Namaste,

Childhood Angelic Message

Genevieve Gerard

Open Your Heart To Your Childhood Angelic Message

This article is part of my ongoing series on Angels.

There is, among those who identify themselves as spiritual, a common childhood experience.

This common childhood experience seems to be an early conscious awareness of the Soul as a presence and force in their life. It appears to be, most often an experience that occurs around the age of seven. It may be interpreted, especially by the adults in the child’s life, as an episode of childhood imagination and sadly dismissed and discounted.

As such, it is often forgotten.

Angels often appear in our lives and just wait for us to say hello.
– Katrina Mayer

When you begin to talk about Angels, it’s incredible how many people suddenly remember the experience. It is almost as if when you open your mind and your heart to the awareness of Angels the memory gets unlocked.

What I have found most significant about unlocking this childhood memory is the importance it holds in your adult life.

This experience is often a forecasting and clarifying of the purpose of your life. This event of foretelling and guiding is frequently described as a sensation of being so completely loved and so completely supported that the fullness of the heart can barely be contained.

Most people who describe this childhood memory have tears in their eyes. The sense of feeling loved so unconditionally becomes a cherished memory that is re-affirming. The guiding message and insights shared, for many, confirms a belief in God.

This angelic appearance and guiding message have for some long been cherished and pondered in their heart. Some seem to have forgotten this experience, but once they recall and remember it, find a sense of meaning and direction that is both life affirming and profound.

What is fascinating to observe is how such an intense experience can be forgotten and dismissed. What is sad is that the answer you may have been searching for your whole adult life is often whispered to you by an Angel in your youth and then dismissed or forgotten.

You might not think that is possible, but I have found it to be such a common experience that it seems necessary to talk about that childhood experience. Then it is important to consider its meaning and purpose in your life. I have after the memory is revealed, heard people wonder “how could I have forgotten that?”

The relief and assurance that accompanies the memory can be life transforming. With the memory comes the reassurance that you are not alone. The relief of that realization is profound. Consider that this message about the purpose of your life can often be life changing.

There are lessons and revelations available in the process of both forgetting and remembering. The discounting and discarding of your childhood experience by adults and the influence of “conscious reality” is enlightening.

IMPORTANT OBSERVATIONS

There are a few thoughts and observations that are important you understand.

You are not alone in your life.

Your Angels have been with you since the beginning of your life.

Your Soul is the Divine spark of you that remains a source of unconditional love and grace throughout your life.

Your Soul and your Angels reside together in the etheric plane. Their substance is of energy and Light, a different creation or composition than the world of matter.

Many children find it easy to believe in an experience of the presence of what is invisible in the world. In childhood the veil between the material world and the spiritual world is thin. Children are born with an understanding and awareness that there is more to life than just the experience of the five senses.

Over time, that awareness of the dual nature of themselves as a being of both Soul and matter is all too often carefully and critically trained out of them. Parental fears of what it might mean or how others might interpret it limit many childhood experiences. Criticism and judgment ultimately cause a rejection of the truth and awareness with which they are born.

So much of becoming aware of the presence of Angels in our lives is a process of remembering and accepting what we knew to be real as children.
– Genevieve Gerard

There are a special time and special event that often happen in your youth (a lot of times around the age of seven.) This experience is uniquely empowering and revealing to remember as an adult. Most often this event is a contact and communication with your guardian angel. It is a starting point to a relationship that could be fostered to support and sustain you through your entire life.

What is most significant about this childhood meeting is that it is so life affirming and life changing. When you remember the content of the message that is delivered by your guardian Angel about the purpose of your life it can provide a sense of purpose and direction. In my many years of counseling and life guidance coaching, or as someone recently identified it “Soul Coaching,” finding your Soul purpose in life is inspiring.

The more clarity with which you can visualize and understand the purpose of your life the more empowering it is. The more you can transcend your fears to achieve and manifest your dreams the more successful you can be.

So, this angelic childhood encounter of life guidance is critical. It is important to remember this special blessing and, therefore, worth taking some time in meditation to consider.

For many just realizing that an experience that they have held deeply in their hearts was real is enough to unlock the memory.

For others, the habit of denying the reality of angelic presence has become deeply ingrained. Even, when as adults they begin to explore the reality of the presence of Angels in the world and their lives, that parental voice that this event was just childish imagination might be a challenge to transcend.

If you are one of those people who was criticized or even reprimanded for your imagination as a child, it may help you to understand that imagination is a portal to the realm of angelic presence. Angels can cross into the world of matter at times, but it is not where they reside. Their substance, their guidance, and their messages are gentle promptings that work through the intuition and the imagination.

Their voice is a whispered prompting that often flashes so quickly across your mind that you need to quiet your mind chatter even to hear it. The voice of your angels and the promptings of your Soul are often only heard in the silence of prayer, meditation or contemplation. There they respond to your invitation and invocation.

In fact, it is during this childhood visitation that your Angel can reveal your Soul purpose. It is one of the very few times in your life where those who remember the encounter may report a voice accompanying the revelation. If you are someone who experiences communication with the Angels you know that most often their communication is telepathic and not frequently accompanied by sounds that can be perceived by your material senses.

It also seems significant to observe that among those who remember and report this visitation event, it often is at an age when you are too young to be able to write insightful notes to yourself. This divine message is written on your heart. It is meant to be pondered in your heart.

Remembering the guidance received from your Guardian Angel depends on opening your heart and your mind as you ponder.

USING MEDITATION

Below is a meditation link to help you remember the advice you received as a child from your Guardian Angel.

Meditation is the most efficient way to open the threshold between the material world and the realm of spirit where the Angels reside wince it is where your Soul calls home.

I mention your Soul for two reasons:

First, opening to the touch of your Soul is a dynamic way to transform your life.

Second, is that there is a very special relationship that exists between your Guardian Angel and your Soul as partners to support you in your earthly life, from the heavenly realm.

So to come into greater awareness of your Guardian Angel and to have the increased awareness of the Presence of your Soul, use meditation as the bridge.

To meditate upon or to remember and clarify the childhood guidance you received, it is as always wise to prepare. Since in this meditation, you have the intention of revealing guidance about the purpose of your life I recommend some preparatory steps.

Get your journal or, at least, some paper and a pen and place it next to where you will sit to meditate. That is often important so you can record and remember the insights and impressions you receive in meditation.

It is often helpful to take some steps to make the space sacred. It can be as simple or complex as you like, but this focus declares your intention to open your mind to the realm of Angels and your Soul.

You might wish to light a candle or burn some incense or have a crystal’s energy to be infused from this meditation.

These little rituals are sometimes helpful in realizing that meditation is a time apart from you ordinary consciousness. It is a special time designated for greater awareness and understanding.

Then consider your intention to remember the guidance of your Guardian Angel and be open to gain the insight and wisdom of your Soul about the Higher purpose for your life.

Namaste,

The Festival of Humanity

Genevieve Gerard

The Festival of Humanity

– World Invocation Day

There are Three Spiritual Festivals that are celebrated in the consciousness calendar every year.

The Three Festivals are aligned with and follow the lunar and astrological phenomena of the rotation of the planets and the stars. They are observed through the cycle of the Moon as it navigates through the stars constellations.

The observation of these energetic cycles is very archetypal and ancient indeed. In fact, the Church fathers used the influx of these energies in guiding the Church calendar when they determined that the celebration of Easter fell in the alignment of this energetic cosmic cycle in the first century. The date of Easter is always celebrated on the First Sunday following the Full Moon in the astrological sign of Aries.

The very first in the cycle of the Three Spiritual Festivals is aligned with the ongoing work of the Christ in the world since His miracle of resurrection and accession to the Father. These events are deep mysteries that have influenced humanity energetically in ways that transcend belief, faith, and human understanding.

The ways of God in His ongoing attempt to bring humanity into right relationship with Him are mysterious. Although theologians and religion have a long tradition of creating a dogma that they require the faithful to espouse, the ways of the Divine are more wondrous and miraculous than is understood by most human consciousness at this time.

The fact that miracles are beyond understanding
is what makes them miracles.
~ Genevieve Gerard

The cosmic nature of God and His relationship with humanity is one of the great mysteries of human existence.

For all that mankind thinks that it knows, and understands is the confrontation that there is much that we do not know. Within the human experience, there is a bond that exists between the human heart and Soul and the glorious Presence of the Divine, a bond of Love that can be experienced but never adequately explained.

This bond is found in a relationship; a relationship that exists between the Creator and the created. That relationship has often been described, with such mysterious and lofty words as Grace or the Peace that passes understanding. The very statement that this relationship is beyond human understanding opens your heart and mind to an attitude of an “I-Thou” relationship that relies upon communion and revelation from God into the deepest spark of Divinity within you, your Soul.

Join Genevieve Gerard for a Full Moon Meditation Every Month — Full Moon Over The Beach

This mutually longed for relationship reveals the Divine purpose of the three great spiritual festivals. During this time in the Cosmic calendar, marked by the cycle of earth’s Moon are a time of revelation.

The revelations are focused on greater understanding and awareness of energies that are coming to earth from the Mind of God and the Heart of God with the Will of God to bring about God’s plan of evolution for his creation humanity.

As has been true since the very first breath of creation, there is in the human experience Free Will. That makes the energies of the three festivals available but only as much as you open your heart and mind to be receptive to the awareness through prayer, meditation and intuition to the promptings of your Soul.

Each of the three springtime spiritual festivals provides its own purpose and flow of energy by blending the aspects below:

Hierarchy	Love aspect of God	Festival of Resurrection	Aries
Shamballa	Will aspect of God	Festival of Wesak	Taurus
Humanity	Divine Intelligence	Festival of Humanity	Gemini

The Festival of the Resurrection

“I come forth and from the plane of mind, I rule.”

The first is known as the Festival of the Resurrection. This festival occurs right before Easter and is a celebration of the resurrection. The keynote is Love.

The Wesak Festival

“I see, and when the eye is opened, all is light.”

The second is the Wesak Festival. It is held at the Taurus Full Moon. The keynotes are wisdom & divine purpose.

Wesak is celebrated around the world and focuses upon the blending of the Wisdom of the Buddha and the Divine Love of the Christ blending and merging the energies of Love and Wisdom for humanity.

The Festival of Humanity

“I recognize my other self and in the waning of that self, I grow and glow.”

The final celebration is at the Gemini Full Moon and is called the Festival of Humanity. The keynote is Humanity, aspiring to God.

At this time and in the three days preceding and following the actual peak of the Full Moon, humanity receives the guidance and impressions of the prior full moon activations of the Christ’s resurrection energies, and the blessings of the Christ and Buddha’s blending of Love with Wisdom.

The Festival of Humanity (also known as the Festival of Goodwill) is a cosmic celebration of the dispersing of these energies to humanity as a whole. This is sometimes also called the Festival of the Christ because the Ageless Wisdom tell us that the Christ in His ongoing role of World Savior sends forth to all His disciples on earth the energies they need to propel humanity throughout the next year to make the world a better place.

This blessing is mystical and yet emerges into the consciousness of all those faithful who are aligned with the Christ throughout the world, through the communion of the church and throughout the efforts of the Men and Woman of Goodwill known as the New Group of World Servers.

The empowerment of those who serve humanity with dedication are demonstrated through self-forgetfulness; harmlessness and right speech, for these, are the characteristics of a member of the New Group of World Servers.

At the time of the Festival of Humanity (World Invocation Day), the Hierarchy will, under the guidance of the Christ, let loose the will-to-good upon Humanity, producing seven great results:

7 Great Results

Power will be given to the disciples of the world and the initiates among humanity so that They can direct efficiently and wisely the coming process of rebuilding.

The will-to-love will stimulate the men and women of goodwill everywhere so that hatred will gradually be overcome and humanity will seek to live together cooperatively.

The will-to-action will lead intelligent people throughout the world to inaugurate those activities which will lay the foundation for a new, better and happier world.

The will-to-cooperate will steadily increase also. Men and women will desire and demand right human relations.

The will-to-know and to think correctly and creatively will become an outstanding characteristic of the masses. Knowledge is the first step towards wisdom.

The will-to-persist (which is an aspect of devotion and fixed idealism) will become a human characteristic – a sublimation of the basic instinct of self-preservation.

The will-to-organize will further a building process which will be carried forward under the direct inspiration of the Hierarchy. The medium will be the potency of the will-to-good of the New Group of World Servers and the responsive goodwill of humankind.

To be a part of this service and work requires no dogma or belief, rather the heartfelt desire of service to humanity to make this world a better place.

At five p.m. across the world in every time zone, so this prayer chain circumnavigates the world every day, is a blessing that energetically supports this work and service.

I invite you to pause and take a moment to help empower humanity to make the transitions of consciousness that are unique to this moment in time and space. By saying the blessing below daily, you will strengthen and empower those who work to transform the world.

Blessing of The New Group of World Servers

May the Power of the One Life
pour through the group of all true servers;

May the Love of the One Soul
characterize the lives of all who
seek to aid the Great Ones.

May we fulfill our part in the One Work
through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness,
and right speech.

At five p.m. every day going forward, wherever you are, let us join our Soul Light with Love to the millions of those across the world who work to help humanity.

One of the amazing aspects of being a part of a Soul group is that you need not even be consciously aware of the group. You, if you focus on love, light and service to humanity, are a part of this worldwide effort and the blessings invoked around the world by those conscious of this effort are available to you to support and empower your work and service.

At no other time in the year is the energy more powerfully available than at this Full Moon when the Festival of Humanity is celebrated in the heavens and on earth.

At this propitious period, take a little time to ponder on this and be receptive as you sit quietly and calm your mind, open your heart and invite the light.

Namaste,

Genevieve

Mother’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Happy Mother’s Day

At this time of the year, we acknowledge and honor the great sacrifice that Mothers make and have made since the beginning of time.

We also acknowledge the great transformation that Mothers have set in motion.

A Mother’s Perspective is Different

From the beginning of our awareness that life is growing within us what is important to us, what fulfills us, what we want from life subtlety changes? This is true no matter how you became a mother, through giving birth, through adoption or from accepting a spouse’s children as your own. This change is born of holding a love in your heart that is greater than you ever knew was possible. This change grants mother’s a vision of life that transcends how things are as it affirms what deeply important in the continuity of life and in the demonstration of love.

This shift of consciousness is powerful, life-affirming and real. Any woman who has ever embarked upon the adventure of motherhood notices that this experience impacts your life in many different ways.

By sharing this poem written by Julia Ward Howe in 1870, which was the original proclamation of Mother’s Day I honor all mother’s with gratitude. The sacrifices you have made to nurture the next generation will live on as the love you have given and the wisdom you have shared ripples through time into eternity.

You as a Mother are a part of a vital force for all that is life-affirming and good in the world. The sisterhood of Motherhood has the power to ignite change and new awareness, as the proclamation below does. Together the principles of right speech, justice, truth, and honor shall continue to be taught.

Julia Ward Howe’s Mother’s Day Proclamation

Arise then…women of this day!

Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!
Say firmly:

“We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
for caresses and applause.

Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country,
will be too tender of those of another country
to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”

From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
our own. It says: “Disarm! Disarm!
The sword of murder is not the balance of justice.”

Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
nor violence indicate possession.

As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
at the summons of war,
let women now leave all that may be left of home
for a great and earnest day of counsel.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
whereby the great human family can live in peace…
Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
but of God

In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
that a general congress of women without limit of nationality,
may be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
and the earliest period consistent with its objects,
to promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
the amicable settlement of international questions,
the great and general interests of peace.

As society takes this time to honor and exalt mothers I invite Mother’s everywhere to take a pause to understand and affirm the amazing power you have as a Mother to mold the generations of the future. In your hands, we have placed a sacred trust.

To help empower and support all of you in this great adventure I offer you some affirmations that can help you focus and energize you in this great duty.

Mother’s Affirmations

I take care of myself, for I realize I cannot give from an empty container.
I release those I love from any expectations that may be limiting their life.
I am gentle with myself, my spouse and with children, letting compassion guide me as I strive to be quick to forgive.
I do my best to give those I influence love and support.
I acknowledge I am not perfect, but it will be enough because I give with Love and the intention to guide and support all.
I trust that love will prevail connecting heart-to-heart, mind-to-mind and Soul-to-Soul with honor for the differences between us and respect for the ties that bind us.

Call to Mother’s of the World

Realize that as Mothers we can transform the world through the values we instill and the guidance we provide this next generation of humanity. This is a sacred honor. We owe this duty to the future. As a group and as individuals, we stand firm in teaching right from wrong. We are women, we are Mothers and we are stronger and more empowered than we imagine.

We are the mystical representatives of the Divine Feminine, the Divine Mother, and Gaia, the Mother Earth.

This Mother energy we bring into manifestation and expression is a sacred honor which we bear.

During this time, the world is honoring motherhood. Let us also honor the Sisterhood of Feminine Energy to offer one another support by rejecting competition and enhancing cooperation.

Let us honor one another and support one another in our varied roles and responsibility so we can together build a world where all children can thrive, grow and become successful.

This is a gift we can give to one another during this special time of the year as we honor the unique blessing we, as women of the world unite in Motherhood and Sisterhood.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness

Genevieve Gerard

What Would It Be Like If People Everywhere Practiced Kindness?

Recently I saw a quote from the Dalai Lama. He said, “My Religion is very simple, my religion is kindness.” That led me to consider what it would be like if people everywhere practiced kindness.

It takes only a few moments in any situation to see how rare and extraordinary kindness is. Even among friends and families, even while professing to love one another there is often cruelty. In many groups teasing is disguised as affection.

When that is the norm, there is an emotional confusion between what you experience and what you know to be true in your inner self. This confusion leads to misinterpreting what love is.

Is Teasing An Expression of Affection?

Teasing and sarcasm, two partners in cruelty disguised as love or affection are not kind. They often hide mean-spirited anger that is a way of one-upmanship and denigrating and insulting another.

That the cruelty is delivered cleverly or playfully is designed to cover up the meanness. And, the most damaging and harmful part of this way of relating with one another is that the person who is teasing and sarcastic claims to be showing affection. This leaves the target of the teasing and sarcasm disempowered. After all, says the attacker, “I was only teasing or playing.”

The playfulness or cleverness of the cruelty among those who practice this kind of behavior is supposed to render it harmless, but it never does.

This type of interaction still hurts, but the target is deprived of their expression of anger by the meanness being hidden in playfulness, being disguised as wittiness or affection.

What is so difficult about this kind of human interaction is that no matter how witty and clever the sarcastic quip may be, it still hurts. That hurt is real and for you to be told that it is loving attention is confusing. It is easy for a child to create confusion about what love is.

When I was a child teasing was a part of a lot of my interaction with adults. There was one friend of the family who was relentlessly cruel, rarely stopping showing me his so-called affectionate attention until I was in tears. Since he was “only teasing” I was not supposed to get upset. In fact, he often ridiculed me for my tears, teasing me further about crying.

Although I had not thought of this childhood teasing or this adult in many years, I realize now how harmful that “play” was. The most damaging part was not even the content of the teasing. The most damaging part was the LIE that his meanness was an expression of love or affection.

Deep in my heart, even as a very young child, I knew that cruelty was not an expression of love. Still, having the adults around me justified his meanness and created confusion about what it was to love. That was where the real harm was created.

Truth is not only violated by falsehood;
it may be equally outraged by silence.
– Henri Frederic Amiel

Each of us has within us an inner sense of truth and understanding of Right Action. When parents, teachers, or social norms teach something that violates that inner voice, it is very confusing and damaging to a child. A graphic example of this is when a child is abused and told it is love.

Sadly, childhood experiences of teasing or witty sarcasm, often a part of how teenagers interact, create a misunderstanding and confusion about what is loving behavior and what is not.

This confusion can lead to people not stopping abusive behavior especially when it is disguised as playfulness. When cruelty is received at the hands of a loved one, partner, friend, or parent something becomes disconnected. The disguise does not work deep within your heart, yet you may want to believe it is only “in fun.”

What I have observed with most people who use teasing and sarcasm as a way of interacting with others is a wave of underlying anger that peaks through. Since the anger seeps out wrapped in a package of joking it is not possible to confront the feelings honestly and bring them to the light of understanding.

The confusion that is created when you try to accept what is painful and disguised is sometimes called “crazy-making.” That is because of no matter what you are being told you have within you that innate sense of truth. The lie of cruelty instead of kindness will finally be revealed.

This innate sense of truth knows. Ultimately, you cannot lie to yourself.

Scripts People Live Story

I am reminded of a story told by Claude Steiner in his book “Scripts People Live: Transactional Analysis of Life Scripts.“

A Warm Fuzzier Tale by Claude Steiner

Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived two happy people called Tim and Maggie with their two children, John and Lucy. To understand how happy they were you have to understand how things were in those days.

You see in those happy days everyone was given a small, soft Fuzzy Bag when born. Anytime a person reached into their bag they were able to pull out a Warm Fuzzy. Warm Fuzzies were very much in demand because whenever someone was given a Warm Fuzzy it made them feel warm and fuzzy all over.

In those days, it was very easy to get Warm Fuzzies. Anytime that somebody felt like it, he might walk up to you and say, “I’d like to have a Warm Fuzzy.” You would then reach into your bag and pull out a Fuzzy the size of a child’s hand. As soon as the Fuzzy saw the light of day it would smile and blossom into a large, shaggy, Warm Fuzzy. When you laid the Warm Fuzzy on the person’s head, shoulder or lap it would snuggle up and melt right against their skin and make them feel good all over.

People were always asking each other for Warm Fuzzies, and since they were always given freely, getting enough of them was never a problem. There was always plenty to go around, and so everyone was happy and felt warm and fuzzy most of the time.

One day an evil witch who made salves and potions for sick people became angry because everyone was so happy and feeling good and no one was buying potions and salves. The witch was ingenious and devised an evil plan. One beautiful morning while Maggie was playing with her daughter the witch crept up to Tim and whispered in his ear,

“See here, Tim, look at all the Fuzzies that Maggie is giving to Lucy. You know, if she keeps it up she is going to run out, and then there won’t be any left for you!”

Tim was astonished. He turned to the witch and asked, “Do you mean to tell me that there isn’t a Warm Fuzzy in our bag every time we reach for it?”

And the witch answered, “No, absolutely not, and once you run out, that’s it. You don’t have anymore.” With this, the witch flew away on a broom, laughing and cackling all the way.

Tim took this to heart and began to notice every time Maggie gave away a Warm Fuzzy. He got anxious because he liked Maggie’s Warm Fuzzies very much and did not want to give them up. He certainly did not think it was right for Maggie to be spending all her Warm Fuzzies on the children and other people.

Tim began to complain or sulk when he saw Maggie giving Warm Fuzzies to somebody else, and because Maggie loved him very much, she stopped giving Warm Fuzzies to other people as often and reserved most of them for him.

The children watched this and soon began to get the idea that it was wrong to give Warm Fuzzies any time you were asked or felt like it. They too became very careful. They would watch their parents closely, and whenever they felt that one of their parents was giving too many Fuzzies to others, they felt jealous and complained and sometimes even had a tantrum.

Even though the children found a Warm Fuzzy every time they reached into their bag they began to feel guilty whenever they gave them away, so they reached in less and less and became more and more stingy with them.

Before the witch, people used to gather in groups of three, four, or five, never caring too much who was giving Warm Fuzzies to whom. After the coming of the witch, people began to pair off and to reserve all their Warm Fuzzies for each other, exclusively. When people forgot to be careful and gave a Warm Fuzzy to just anybody, they worried because they knew that somebody would probably resent sharing their Warm Fuzzies.

People began to give less and less Warm Fuzzies and felt less warm and less fuzzy. They started to shrivel up and, occasionally, people would even die from lack of Warm Fuzzies. People felt worse and worse and, more and more, people went to the witch to buy potions and salves even though they didn’t seem to work.

Well, the situation was getting far-reaching indeed. The evil witch who had been watching all of this didn’t want the people to die (since dead people couldn’t buy his salves and potions), so a new plan was devised.

Everyone was given, free of charge, a bag that was very similar to the Fuzzy Bag except that this one was cold while the Fuzzy Bag was warm. Inside of the witch’s bag was Cold Pricklies. These Cold Pricklies did not make people feel warm and fuzzy; in fact, they made them feel cold and prickly instead. But the Cold Pricklies was better than nothing and they did prevent peoples’ backs from shriveling up.

So, from then on, when somebody asked for a Warm Fuzzy, people who were worried about depleting their supply would say, “I can’t give you a Warm Fuzzy, but would you like a Cold Prickly instead?”

Sometimes, two people would walk up to each other, thinking that maybe they could get a Warm Fuzzy this time, but one of them would change his mind, and they would wind up giving each other Cold Pricklies instead. So, the result was that people were not dying anymore, but a lot of people were miserable and felt frigid and prickly indeed.

The situation got very complicated since the coming of the witch because there were fewer and fewer Warm Fuzzies around and Warm Fuzzies which used to be free as the air became treasured.

This caused people to do all sorts of things to get Warm Fuzzies. People who could not find a generous partner had to buy their Warm Fuzzies and had to work long hours to earn the money.

Some people became “famous” and got a lot of Warm Fuzzies without having to give any back. These individuals would then sell their Warm Fuzzies to people who were “unpopular” and needed them to feel that life was worth living.

Another thing which happened was that some people would take Cold Pricklies–which were everywhere and freely available and coated them white and fluffy so that they almost looked like Warm Fuzzies. These fake Warm Fuzzies were really Plastic Fuzzies, and they caused additional problems.

For instance, two or more people would get together and freely give each other Plastic Fuzzies. They expected to feel good, but they came away feeling bad instead. People got very confused never realizing that their cold, prickly feelings were because they had been given a lot of Plastic Fuzzies.

So the situation was very, very dismal and it all started because of the coming of the witch who made people believe that someday when least expected, they might reach into their Warm Fuzzy Bag and find no more.

Not long ago, a young woman with big hips came to this troubled land. She seemed not to have heard about the bad witch and was not worried about running out of Warm Fuzzies. She gave them out freely, even when not asked. They called her the Hip Woman and disapproved of her because she was giving the children the idea that they should not worry about running out of Warm Fuzzies. The children liked her very much because they felt good around her and they began to follow her example giving out Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it.

This made the grownups anxious. To protect the children from depleting their supplies of Warm Fuzzies they passed a law. The law made it a criminal offense to give out Warm Fuzzies in a reckless manner or without a license. Many children, however, seemed not to care; and in spite of the law, they continued to give each other Warm Fuzzies whenever they felt like it and always when asked. Because they were many, many children, almost as many as grownups, it began to look as if maybe they would have their way.

As of now it’s hard to say what will happen. Will the grownups’ laws stop the recklessness of the children?

Are the grownups going to join with the Hip Woman and the children in taking a chance that there will always be as many Warm Fuzzies as needed?

Will they remember the days their children are trying to bring back when Warm Fuzzies were abundant because people gave them away freely?

The struggle spread all over the land and is probably going on right where you live. If you want to, and I hope you do, you can join by freely giving and asking for Warm Fuzzies and being as loving and healthy as you can.

Kindness can be described as a warm fuzzy. Like the warm fuzzy you know when you have received kindness.

As you considered the Dalai Lama’s statement that “his religion is kindness,” take some time to think what that would mean if everyone practiced kindness. I am sure it would make the world a better place. Imagine for a minute what the world would be like if everyone made a religion of kindness.

I would like to see kindness become contagious to epidemic proportions around the world. I encourage you to let kindness and compassion guide your actions and all of your relationships.

Namaste,

Genevieve Gerard

Feeling Love on Valentine’s Day

Genevieve Gerard

Feeling Love on Valentine’s Day

This article is part of my ongoing Series on Love.

All across the world on Valentine’s Day people celebrate love. They celebrate love in its many forms, but most of all they celebrate romantic and intimate love. They celebrate desire, passion and all of the fantasies that have been quietly nourished in the heart of what it means to love and to be loved.

This expression of Love was captured by the poet Robert Frost when he said:

Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
– Robert Frost

I have often written about love, but as I review my body of work I note that I focus more on the essence of love than upon romantic or erotic love. Still, in the adventure of life, we are given the opportunity to learn about life, and that means to learn about love.

Romantic love, or as the ancient Greeks called it erotic love, laced with passion and desire is necessary for all that it teaches about life. There are life lessons about love that can best and perhaps only be learned through romantic love. It is to celebrate that passion, that joy, and that sense of wonder that Valentine’s Day is celebrated throughout the world.

Love doesn’t make the world go ’round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
– Franklin P. Jones

During this Valentine’s Day experience, let romantic love, with its intensity of yearning for union with a beloved, teach you about all love in a powerful way that allows you to comprehend the meaning of Union of Souls. It is a demonstration of deeper truths that you might never discover if it were not for the passion and promise that falling in love delivers.

When you fall in love may be the very first time you have been able to reach beyond yourself to consider the needs and desires of another. Life, with its infinite wisdom, rewards you with joyful celebration when you make that important step. Passion, fulfillment, and satisfaction are granted as you learn how to merge your needs and desires in cooperation with another.

What would otherwise be a painful life lesson of sacrifice can become a beautiful expression of joy. To express love, to be generous, to strive to give your beloved what they wish and desire, all provides you with the opportunity to reach beyond the limitations of yourself. Not only is that step rewarded, but it can also be experienced, enjoyed and celebrated on all levels of your being.

At times, I have pondered the incredible miracle of romantic love and sex for the way that it transforms our life from aloneness and a sense of separation and alienation to a demonstration that we are not alone. Also, most amazing is that the fruit of having loved is the realization that we are aware of eternity. Ponder on this.

By loving we are transformed, changed and given the opportunity to be our true self, our best self.

Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible – it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could.
– Barbara de Angelis

It is perhaps to help us learn and grow that God blessed us with the passion of erotic love, for love expands your heart with compassion and generosity.

Love is a force upon which you can anchor your life. It seems to grow miraculously and develop until you realize that through your love for another you have learned to not only love one another but also to love others. You have come to love life and with your appreciation of what love you have been given you see a world of wonder. You see the world where blessings can come to you when you least expect it.

Once you had loved and been truly loved nothing is ever the same as it was before you were loved. What is most strange and miraculous about this transforming experience is the way that it changes you and changes your life.

The “happily ever after” myths and, “happy endings” of Hollywood’s stories imply that the story goes on and on. And, certainly in life sometimes it does. The happily ever after is not what is most important. What is most important is that you have known what it is to love. Your life has been touched, changed and transformed by love.

The real miracle is that you have received and given love. Somehow, that warms you, nourishes and restores you in your darkest moments. It caresses and calms you and fills you with peace and joy. Having given love and having received the love you have been enfolded in a moment of eternity that is in some mysterious way beyond space and outside of time.

True love is less about the outcome and more about having opened your heart, your mind and your Soul to love. Having loved, you touched eternity. Having loved you created in this particular span of years something that is endless and timeless.

It is ironic to me that when I begin writing about romantic love and erotic love I find myself uncontrollably led to talk about love as the endless, eternal expression. Having noticed this, I find myself wondering and pondering upon how erotic and romantic love ends up being eternal love.

What I realized in thinking about and considering love is that sexual love and romantic love is a portal to love. Once you cross that portal, once you let yourself transcend the selfishness, the exclusive self-awareness that you are you, and I am I, into the unity and unification that loving brings everything changes.

And it changes not just for the moments of passion and sex, but it changes everything. And it is for that reason I call it a portal. It is a portal that it seems that once crossed cannot be re-entered. It is a great mystery in my life that having deeply loved someone; I have never stopped loving them.

That may be inconvenient, especially when life and circumstances converge so that you are no longer with the person you loved. And sadly in today’s world of relationships, that may be challenging.

Yet, with the understanding that the “it” is the lesson and experience of love, that makes the difference. It is the change you can undergo because of having loved that is important. Perhaps that grants a different perspective that helps you avoid the need and attachment that interferes with you experiencing love.

To love, by its very nature, requires transcending that need an attachment that so often disguises itself as romantic love. Loving another requires moving from loving them because you need them, to needing them because you love them. Ponder on this. That shift and transition are significant. However, it also puts you in direct conflict with the fact that loving someone makes you want what is best for him or her.

I recently saw the quote below that I would like you to ponder. Today, in celebration of love and dedication to love on Valentine’s Day, I share it with you.

Dear Human: You’ve got it all wrong. You didn’t come here to master unconditional love. That is where you came from and where you’ll return. You came here to learn personal love. Universal love. Messy love. Sweaty love. Crazy love. Broken love. Whole love. Infused with divinity. Lived through the grace of stumbling. Demonstrated through the beauty of… messing up. Often. You didn’t come here to be perfect. You already are. You came here to be gorgeously human. Flawed and fabulous. And then to rise again into remembering.

But unconditional love? Stop telling that story. Love, in truth, doesn’t need ANY other adjectives. It doesn’t require modifiers. It doesn’t require the condition of perfection. It only asks that you show up. And do your best. That you stay present and feel fully. That you shine and fly and laugh and cry and hurt and heal and fall and get back up and play and work and live and die as YOU. It’s enough. It’s Plenty.”
– Courtney A. Walsh

As you go through your life’s adventure, I encourage you to open to and explore love in all of its beautiful and glorious forms. Open your heart and celebrate love as a celebration of life.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Namaste,

Genevieve

A Gift to Celebrate the Lunar New Year

Genevieve Gerard

A Gift to Celebrate the Lunar New Year

A New Year is always a wonderful time for a new resolution, a new beginning or a new insight.

Lunar New Year is the beginning of a calendar year whose months are cycles of the moon. The relevant calendar may be purely a lunar calendar or a lunisolar calendar.

Chinese New Year is the largest celebration of the lunar new year.

You might already know this but one out of every 5 people in the world is Chinese and the Lunar New Year is celebrated by more than 20% of the world in countries like Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Australia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Hong Kong, North and South Korea, Vietnam, Southeast Asia, and Mauritius, but also Europe, Australia, New Zeeland, America, and Canada.

What is the animal for Chinese New Year 2020?

Western horoscopes include 12 zodiacs, one for each month. However, there are 12 Chinese zodiacs as well, but the animal is for the entire year.

For the year 2020, the main zodiac element is metal, and the animal sign is Rat, and hence, 2020 will be the Year of the Metal Rat according to the Chinese zodiac.

People born in the year of the Rat include the years 1924, 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008, and 2020. The years above are a rough guide; bear in mind that if you were born in January or February it may be slightly different as the new year moves between January 21 and February 20.

The Rat is the first of all Chinese zodiac animals. According to one myth, the Jade Emperor said the order would be decided by the order in which they arrived at his party. The rat tricked the ox into giving him a ride. Then, just as they arrived at the finish line, the rat jumped down and landed ahead of the ox, becoming first.

Rats symbolize wealth, intelligence, success and wisdom to the Chinese. In terms of the Yin and Yang theory, they are the yang and signify the beginning of a new day. They also represent the midnight hours and the Earthly Branch Zi.

In fact, Chinese astrology specialists suggest that 2020, the Year of the Metal Rat, is a good time to give birth as metal symbolizes stability and longevity. Those born in the Year of the Metal Rat tend to live a stable life and have the ability to turn unlucky events into fortune.

The Personality of the Rat

People born in the Year of the Rat are characterized as smart, resourceful and quick-witted. They have great imaginations and make sharp observations, with the ability to take advantage of several opportunities.

Strengths: Rats are clever, quick thinkers with a deep curiosity; intelligent, optimistic, successful, but content with living a quiet and peaceful life. The rat is adaptable and resourceful, has good intuition, and a strong imagination. They are kind and sensitive to other people’s emotions.

Weaknesses: Stubborn, timid, greedy, and don’t have much courage. They’re generally kind, but their weak communication skills can sometimes come across as rude or impolite, so they don’t make great leaders. On the financial side, they like saving their money and can be stingy. However, their love for hoarding will sometimes cause them to waste money on unnecessary things.

In Chinese culture, rats are a sign of wealth and surplus. Because of their reproduction rate, married couples also prayed to them for children.

Lucky Signs for the Rat

Lucky numbers for people born in the Year of the Rat are two, three, six, eight (avoid: 4, 5, 9) and their lucky colors are blue, green and gold (avoid: yellow, brown.) Their lucky flowers are lilies and African violets and their lucky directions are west, northwest, and southwest. Their closest western zodiac is Sagittarius.

How Long is the Chinese New Year?

The Little Year 2020

Preparations for the New Year (called the Little Year) last 8 days, beginning on January 17th, 2020 and go until Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Spring Festival 2020

As part of the celebrations, Chinese New Year officially begins on Saturday, January 25, 2020, this year with the Spring Festival which lasts 11 days through February 4th. People welcome spring and what it brings along: planting and harvests, new beginnings and fresh starts.

Lunar New Year

It is also called Lunar New Year because the Chinese New Year is based on a lunar year instead of a fixed number of days. Each month the moon comes back as a new moon on a different date. On average about 29.53 days. So, some months will be 29 days and others will be 30 days long. 12 lunar months will take 354.36 days, short of the 365 days in a solar year.

To fix this the Chinese calendar adds an extra month every third year. In the Chinese calendar, the beginning of the month is marked by the dark moon. The new year starts on a new moon. And because the Spring Festival goes according to the lunar calendar there is no set date every year for Chinese New Year.

The Lantern Festival 2020

After Chinese New Year at the first full moon of the (lunar) year is the famous Lantern Festival which preparations begin on the 5th and is held on February 8th this year. In ancient times, girls weren’t allowed to venture outside by themselves. But on this night, they were able to walk around, moon-gaze and look at the beautiful lanterns. Because of this, it’s also known as Valentine’s Day in China.

Overall the Chinese year will last from January 25, 2020, to February 11, 2021.

The lunar calendar is still important in China, even though it has officially moved to the Gregorian calendar like the rest of the world. All traditional holidays and days such as the Winter Solstice are celebrated.

What to Wear During Chinese New Year?

There is a Chinese tradition of wearing new clothes that goes all the way back to the Northern and Southern dynasties (420-589 AD). In the Song Dynasty (960-1279 AD), everyone would show off their new clothing as they visited friends on New Year’s Day. In the Republican period (1912-1949), beautiful new clothes were needed as the youth paid their respects to the elders. It’s a part of Spring Festival celebrations, just like the New Year’s Eve reunion dinner.

The Spring Festival is a time of change and new beginnings. Practically every activity during the Spring Festival has the purpose of removing the old and welcoming the new. Forget about the misfortunes and be ready for good luck. In addition, new clothes are auspicious and can protect you from evil spirits.

When buying clothes for Chinese New Year, go for red. This is the best color for the occasion. Stay away from black and white, as they are unlucky and negative during this time.

A Day for Praying to Gods

The Spring Festival was originally a ceremonial day to pray to gods for a good planting and harvest season. As an agrarian society, the harvest was everything. People also prayed to their ancestors, as they were treated as gods.

The Most Fireworks Are Set Off in the World on Chinese New Year’s Eve

According to the Chinese myth about Nian, firecrackers are supposed to scare off monsters and bad luck. So, people stay up on Chinese New Year’s Eve and set off firecrackers at midnight. In the morning, firecrackers are used again to welcome the new year and good luck.

Firecrackers aren’t the only thing that scared the monster away. Red is also an invaluable weapon and used in nearly all Chinese New Year decorations.

Things Not to Do During Chinese New Year Celebrations

The 11 days of the Spring Festival (January 25th through February 4, 2020) is a time of celebration. It’s to welcome the new year with a smile and let the fortune and happiness continue. At the same time, the Spring Festival involves somber ceremonies to wish for a good harvest.

Here are the top 10 taboos during the Chinese New Year to be aware of according to chinesenewyear.net. According to Chinese superstition, doing any of these on January 25th – the day Chinese New Year falls in 2020 – will lead to bad luck for the entire coming year. Follow these and fortune will smile on you.

Do not say negative words
All words with negative connotations are forbidden! These include death, sick, empty, pain, ghost, poor, break, kill and more. You wouldn’t want to jinx yourself or bring those misfortunes onto you and your loved ones.

Do not break ceramics or glass
Breaking things will break your connection to prosperity and fortune. If a plate or bowl is dropped, immediately wrap it with red paper while murmuring auspicious phrases. After the New Year, throw the wrapped up shards into a lake or river.

Do not clean or sweep
Before the Spring Festival (January 25th), there is a day of cleaning. That is to sweep away the bad luck. But during the actual celebration, it becomes a taboo. Cleaning or throwing out garbage may sweep away good luck instead.

If you must, make sure to start at the outer edge of a room and sweep inwards. Bag up any garbage and throw it away after the 5th day. Similarly, you shouldn’t take a shower on Chinese New Year’s Day.

Do not use scissors, knives or other sharp objects
Sharp objects, in general, will cut your stream of wealth and success. This is why 99% of Chinese hair salons are closed during the holidays. Haircutting is taboo and forbidden until Lunar February 2, when all festivities are over.

Do not visit the wife’s family
Traditionally, multiple generations live together. The bride moves into the groom’s home after marriage. And, of course, she will celebrate Chinese New Year with her in-laws. Returning to her parents on New Year’s Day means that there are marriage problems and may also bring bad luck to the entire family. The couple should visit the wife’s family on the 2nd day. They’d bring their children, as well as a modest gift (because it’s the thought that counts).

Do not demand debt repayment
This custom is a show of understanding. It allows everyone a chance to celebrate without worry. If you knock on someone’s door, demanding repayment, you’ll bring bad luck to both parties. However, it’s fair game after the 5th day. Borrowing money during the Spring Festival is also taboo. You could end up having to borrow the entire year. It is better to pay off all of your debts before the new lunar year.

Avoid fighting and crying
Unless there is a special circumstance, try not to cry. But if a child cries, do not reprimand them. All issues should be solved peacefully. In the past, neighbors would come over to play peacemaker for any arguments that occurred. This is all to ensure a smooth path in the new year.

Avoid taking medicine
Try not to take medicine during the Spring Festival to avoid being sick the entire year. Of course, if you are chronically ill or contract a sudden serious disease, immediate health should still come first.

Some related taboos: Don’t visit the doctor; Don’t perform/undergo surgery; Don’t get shots.

Do not give New Year blessings to someone still in bed
You are supposed to give New Year blessings. But let the recipient get up from bed first. Otherwise, they’ll be bed-ridden for the entire year. You also shouldn’t tell someone to wake up. You don’t want them to be rushed around and bossed around for the year. Take advantage of this and sleep in!

Chinese gift-giving taboos
It was mentioned above that you should bring gifts when paying visits. It’s the thought that counts, but some gifts are forbidden. Clocks are the worst gifts. Gifting clocks is a homophone of paying one’s last respects. Splitting pears is also a homophone of separation.

For the Spring Festival, these rules may seem excessive. Especially when you add in the cultural norms, customs, and manners. But like a parent would say, they are all for your own good. Formed over thousands of years, these taboos embody the beliefs, wishes, and worries of the Chinese people.

Who should be on their guard this year?

According to Chinese astrology, the year of your birth sign is believed to be one of the most unlucky years of your life. It is thought that people in their zodiac year offend Tai Sui, the God of Age, and incur his curse.

Famous names who should be wary this year include Jeremy Clarkson (1960) and Idris Elba (1972), Al Gore and Richard Simmons (1948), as well as the Duke of Sussex, Katy Perry, and Scarlett Johansson (all born in 1984).

Lewis Capaldi (1996) was also born in the Year of the Rat, plus Gary Lineker and Jonathan Ross (both born in 1960).

Also born in the year of the rat were William Shakespeare, T. S. Elliot, and George Washington.
