Divine Love: Exercise 6.13

Yes Dear Ones,

Today's exercise will be good for people that seem to want to try really hard to do what they're supposed to do when really they should allow things to flow and allow themselves to flow with it.

First, see yourself outside on a sunny, clear day. You look around and notice that the streets are very busy and you want to cross to the other side but there are bikes and cars and busses and people. You hear a little voice inside saying, "Wait and all will be fine" but you are also looking at your watch because you are already late for an appointment. You decide that despite your inner guidance you are going to cross the busy street. You take the first step forward and someone accidently brushes your arm. Then you get a little closer to the curb and someone else brushes your arm but a little more roughly this time. You are determined to get to the other side and keep moving forward because now you have the "walk" sign but as you are about to step off of the sidewalk "whoom!" Someone rushes by and completely knocks you down on your back.

You look up and ask, "Why?" and suddenly your inner voice is strong and says, "You know why. There is no reason to ever believe that ignoring your inner guidance will take you where you want to go in a way that you would really like to experience getting there. When you follow your guidance things will unfold in ways that are easier, more relaxed, more joyful and for the highest good of all concerned." So you say to your guidance, "But really, no harm could have come from me crossing the street." Then out of nowhere, a bus skids around the corner too quickly and speeds by at an angle that knocks over a mailbox. You say, "Wow. That could have been me out there." And your guidance says, "Yes. You can imagine how unpleasant that would have been. Well actually, don't imagine it. But really, when you have guidance you will do well to follow it because it will make your life easier and more joyful. We have a high interest in your enjoying your life and being as divinely productive as possible. And if you let us help you, we will make sure that your experience of life is effortless. Will you do that?" And you say, "Yes." At that moment your cell phone rings and it's the person that you are supposed to meet saying that he's running late. You say, "That's fine" and wink at your inner guidance. You can't explain what it feels like but you know that your inner guidance is winking back at you.

All is lined up for you Dear Ones. Really. Learning to release resistance to following your inner guidance will be one of your biggest advantages and greatest powers in life.

We love you dearly and will speak to you again soon.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.3

So Yes Dear Ones,

This exercise will be good for people that tend to not follow their inner guidance when it presents itself. It will help them be able to trust more.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large moat. You are on a small, vacant island and you can easily see the beautiful shore on the other side of the water. You want to cross but you look at the moat in front of you and don’t trust that you will be able to cross safely even though you suddenly have the feeling that you will be able to. You approach the water to get a closer look. The water in fact does look very deep and you are unsure of crossing it even through your internal guidance very clearly said “Simply walk across the moat and you will be fine.” You look at the water and think, “No way, that’s crazy! It’s deep and I’ll fall in the moment I start to walk across. Um…thanks Guidance but I’m sure that I can find a better way.”

So you walk around your little island, which doesn’t take too long to do, and you see that there are no bridges and there is no real way across other than to walk or swim across. You really don’t want to swim because you are scared of what might be kept in the moat in order to protect the landowners from invaders. Also, you have never succesfully walked across water. So you sit there for a while longer and realize, “OK. There is no way for me to get to the other side other than to directly cross the moat . There is no one on the other side whose attention I can get to send me the boat that is moored on the other side so I will simply have to trust my guidance and walk across.” So you say, “OK God, I am willing to let you lead me to the other side.”

You begin to walk into the water and your shoes get a bit wet but nothing else. As you continue forward, you find that your shoes stay wet but that the water level does not go higher than that. Soon you are literally halfway across the moat and you say, “God, how can this be? I looked in and I saw that the water was very deep and dark and even scary yet I am practically walking on top of the water.” You continue to walk across the moat in this very open and grateful state and as you reach the other side, you turn around and see what you could not see from the other side. There was a narrow, practically invisible, barely covered sandbar under that section of the lake so that even though the water looked deep, it was no deeper than four inches.

When you decided to trust your inner guidance, It placed you exactly where you needed to be so that you would cross safely along the sandbar. You look up and hear a beautiful voice say to you, “Dear One, I Am always with you and I Am always here to guide you. I understand that it will be difficult to trust me sometimes, because after all you cannot see me...but you can feel me. And the more you trust that inner guidance whenver you feel it, the greater your trust in Me and that connection will grow.”

Raising your Vibration: Exercise #2.12

Today’s exercise is going to be of great help to people that seem to find themselves stuck or rather in a place where they want to move forward but seem to not be able to.

Imagine yourself outside of your home on a clear day. You are not sure where you want to go or what you want to do and so you check in with yourself to see what you feel like doing. You don’t seem to feel a clear inspiration so you go back inside your home, make some tea and just relax. After a while you feel a bit more rested so you ask your inner guidance, or rather yourself, again what you might want to do next. “Reading” comes to mind. You walk over to your bookshelf and discover a book that you love and you are suddenly feeling inspired in a way that you didn’t before. Without even putting it into words, you feel better and are really glad that you sat down and read the book. Then, after you’ve read for a while, you check in again to see what it is you want to do next and “swimming” clearly pops into your mind. You follow your gut and go for a quick swim in a nearby pool and feel unexpectedly refreshed. It is completely not the day you imagined for yourself but you feel invigorated because the water was so cool and clear and seems to be even charged with the energy of love. Then you go for a walk and while you are enjoying yourself on your walk you realized that you didn’t even need to check in because you felt the urge to do so very clearly. You decide to walk into a café you see because it looks cute. Once inside you realize that it’s a café that you’ve been looking for because you visited it before and didn’t remember where it was. Then you begin to thank the Universe for such a lovely day, joyful day. Your gratitude is so sincere and you are so open that the rest of the day is filled with similar 'happy coincidences.”

Before you know it, you are recharged and back on track because when one checks in to see how one feels in the moment that is the best thing one can do. In that moment, you realize that following your inner guidance is the only thing that will bring you joy and help you move forward. It only leads to wonderful places and once all of that is done, once you are at a point of gratitude, your ears are wide open, so to speak, and you will find yourself hearing divine guidance and moving along the path much more effortlessly. You will find it easier to do the things that you came here to do (i.e. your life’s work) because you are in a much happier and more open place than when you began the day.

We love you dearly and will speak to you all again very soon.

And yes, this is an exercise to help you trust your guidance in all ways and at all times: of connection and seeming non-connection. When you connect, or rather check into yourself and your divine guidance, it always leads along a path to a place of joy and openness.
