Divine Love: Exercise 6.9

Yes Dear Ones,

So this one will be very helpful for people who seem to not know what they want to do with their life but would like to.

First, see yourself standing outside in a field with a friend on a snowy day. You look at each other and then you say, “Well, what do we do? We’re here in the field and it is snowing. I wanted us to do something but it doesn’t look like we have many options.” Luckily you have a sled so you two get on the sled and slide down the hill together having a wonderful time along the way. When you get to the bottom you see your house so you decide to go in and take refuge from the cold.
Again, you look at your friend and say, “Well, you didn’t answer before. What do you think we should do?” Your friend gets up and runs into the other room, so you follow. You begin playing video games and have a blast because this is the dance game you love. You are just having a wonderful time with each other and don’t even realize that you are stuck inside on a snowy day. Then after you danced for a while, and you have done as much dancing with that game as you can, you realize you are hungry so you both get a bite to eat.

Then you say to your friend, “Well, I guess you’re not going to say anything or try to answer this question but I have to ask. What should we do today? The day is going by fast and we still don’t have a plan for what we are going to do.” Your friend takes a sip of the milk that he is drinking and smiles at you and says, “Really? Do you not see what is happening?’ So you ask, “What is happening?” and he says, “Sometimes it is nice to have a plan but sometimes it is enough to just take action of some sort, for when you do that you will be lead to something that brings you more joy than if you just stayed in the same place. It doesn’t matter what we do as long as we do something that raises our vibration and brings us joy.” And you say, “But what about plans and goals? What about those things? Aren’t they good and helpful?” Your friend says, “Yes. If you have a clear goal then yes, by all means, work toward it. Especially if it lights you up. But during those times when you don’t have a clear goal, sometimes it is best just to take action with things that will bring you joy and then before you know it you will be inspired to do something or come up with a goal. Does that make sense?”

“Well, yes” you say. “Even while I asked you what we should do the last time, I was thinking about an idea I got for people when they are inside - a whole range of family games that they can do on rainy days that will keep them occupied and having fun together.” And your friend says, “Yes. That’s the spirit! Sometimes it is best just to keep moving in the direction of joy and you will be lead to the next inspiration. Sound good?” And you say, “Yes. Sounds good. Thanks!” Then your friend says, “Ok, now let’s get back to the dance game because I think I’m going to beat you this time!” You run off to the room to play with your friend, embracing your wonderful new learning about how to approach times when you don’t have clarity about what you want to do with the time in your life.

Divine Love: Exercize 6.8

Yes Dear Ones,

This will be a good exercise for anyone wishing to develop a stronger and clearer connection with the Divine that already exists within them.

First, stand in front of a mirror and imagine that you are surrounded by a large ball of light that is expanding. Look upward and see that this large ball of light is in fact expanding to include your Divine Soul Being, your personal connection to the Divine that resides several feet above you. Then see a beautiful silver cord of light extending down from the heart of your Divine Being that easily and lovingly glides down through the top of your head and anchors itself into your heart. Imagine that this light, as soon as it connects to your heart, spreads into every cell of DNA in your body. Immediately, you are one with this beautiful light that appears to be concentrated in your heart even though it in fact expands throughout your entire body.

Look back up at your Divine Soul Being and see that the circle of light that surrounds you both is now becoming a tube of light that continues into the heavens and extends to three feet on either side of you. Then say to yourself in the mirror, “I Am willing to know myself as the Divine Being that I AM and I AM willing to act, think, feel and move in accordance with the Higher Divine Will which is my truest nature. At the same time, I Am aware that acting in accordance with this Divine Will is so freeing, so fulfilling and so joyous that I desire to experience this as my Truth and to always act from this space. So say I. So be it.” Then, once you have said this while looking at yourself in the mirror, take a deep breath and see a golden orb of light float down the Silver Cord of your Soul Being into your heart followed by a blue orb of light, a pink orb of light, a green orb of light and then another blue orb. As this happens, you feel yourself growing stronger and lighter. Also after these orbs of light have come into your body, they settle in your heart and continue to expand until all of these lights are of equal size and extend to three feet around either side of your body.

While you look at yourself in the mirror, you begin to feel that this is who you really are – that these beautiful lights are your true divine nature. And as you are experiencing yourself as this combination of radiant lights, know that your desire to embody the beautiful vibration of these orbs will bring you closer to experiencing yourself as your true Divine Nature. Take a breath and give thanks to all of these lights. As you move from the mirror and go forward in your life these lights and your Soul Being are real and are always connected with you. For once you have consciously enhanced this connection, it is so and will only harmoniously and joyously expand in your life as you move forward.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.7

So this exercise is going to be for people that would like to open their hearts more to trust that life is truly here to support them in every way.

First, see yourself sitting on a park bench on a lovely day. The air is crisp and the sky is blue. You look next to where you’re sitting and you notice that there is no one there. You are quite alone and you feel a bit lonely but somehow you don’t feel as lonely as you have before. Suddenly you feel that there is someone sitting next to you and you see a sort of a vague form of light that is filling itself out. Within minutes there is an Angel sitting next to you. She tells you to rest your head on her lap so you do and you suddenly feel transported. It is a strange feeling – you are in your body but at the same time you feel that you are not in your body. You feel light and overcome with love and you realize that the Angel is taking you somewhere.

She is taking you to a beautiful area over the ocean to show you a screen on the sky. And as you look at it feeling very peaceful, without a care, and full of love you notice that she is showing you scenes from your life. The funny thing is that often there is so much light on the screen that you are unable to see the images clearly but somehow you are able to make out which parts of your life these scenes are from. You ask your lovely Angel why this is and she tells you, “Dear One, there is so much light on the screen because there were so many of us around you, lining up everything in your life so that you would go in the direction that was best for you and the most joyful.” You look at your Angel and ask about some particularly trying times in your life and the Angel says to you, “Really Dear One, those were the highest of all possible options. You needed to learn something and we shortened the experiences to the degree that were able to. More than anything, we were there to comfort you and to bring you peace because as you are creating your life and constantly asking to learn more, you are very open and also a powerful attractor drawing to you many circumstances and experiences. It is not for your highest good to experience all of them so we were there helping you to only allow ones that were for your absolute highest good. What you are left with, then, is the truth that if the experience is in your life, then it is there for a reason - either to help you grow or to show you how Divine you are.”

You look at your Angel and say, “Really? Would you show me the time that my family left me and we were not communicating at all. That was quite painful for me.” And so you watch as the Angel shows you scenes of that time and you are amazed. It is as if everything that you said and every thought that you had was in some effect cushioned by the Angels and you could see where you almost chose non-supportive actions but they were there to guide you to believe that another option was possible. You were amazed and grateful for the times that you followed their guided steps and you saw what happened when you didn’t follow that guidance in the form of gut feelings that you chose to ignore. Weeping, you look at your Angel and say, “Thank you. Is there anything that I can do for you? This is breathtaking. This is truly amazing and I am so grateful for everything that you have done for me.” Your Angel simply says, “Trust yourself, for in fact, We are One. The Universe will speak to you THROUGH you so the more you trust yourself, the more you will know that you are on the right track. That is the best you can do for me because we are always there to help you and nothing thrills us more than for you to reap the benefits of following your Inner Guidance. Except for maybe possibly a hug.” Smiling, you hug your Angel and suddenly find yourself back on the bench by yourself. Only now you feel more loved, more cared for and more trusting than you ever have.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.6

So Yes Dear Ones,
This exercise is for people that desire to intensify the light in their lives.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large circle of white light and imagine that this large light is also full of tiny bubbles of light. At the same time, imagine your heart expanding (you can do this by thinking of anything that makes you happy) which causes these tiny bubbles of light to expand as well. As your heart continues to expand, these bubbles of light float into your heart and cause it to glow. This continues until all of the small light bubbles that were on the outside of you are now inside of your heart except for the large bubble which is connected to your Higher Self.

Then, imagine yourself slowly rising and as you rise, you notice that this light seems to burst out of your heart like fireworks but somehow the light still remains on the inside of your heart as well. It is like the bubbles of light are seeds and they sprout these beautiful fireworks of light that fall onto all of the beings that inhabit your life: your friends, your coworkers, your family, your plants, your animals so that they all benefit from this lovely light that you are. And as you continue to harmoniously rise and radiate this light, there is a sense of calm that seems to infuse every part of your being.

You look upwards and notice that there is a connection that has been forged between you and the Divine and the special thing about this connection is that now that it exists it cannot be ignored and you don’t desire to ignore because it feels wonderful. You are also aware of the fact that simply because you desired to increase the light in your life, you affected the lives of everything and everyone else in your world. And as you are looking up gratefully at your beloved Soul Being another golden ray of light is delivered down from it and it grounds this light into your body. Every chakra lights up with this beautiful golden light as it plants seeds of its own in your being so that you will always have expanding light that causes expanding truth and harmony in every chakra and in every area of your life.

As you stay in this state you slowly float back down to earth and even as you open your eyes and look around you, you know that this lovely light is always within you. You know that it is always growing and is so very loving. You feel that since you now know that you have this connection to the light, it will only grow and be of benefit to all of life which is exactly why you wanted it.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.5

Yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be for people who desire to open their heart and trust a bit more.

First, see yourself standing outside in the rain with an umbrella. You are dry but you look around and see that there are many other people getting wet because they don’t have umbrellas. They wonder what to do and so you call to someone that is standing near you and offer some space under yours. They fit under the umbrella and you’re very surprised at that because the umbrella is quite small. You call to some others standing nearby in the rain and you tell them that there seems to be a bit of room left and so they run under your umbrella and they miraculously seem to fit. You feel grateful for this because you truly don’t want people to get wet. There doesn’t seem to be any real cover for a distance so you are glad to be able to be of service. Then a few others have seen that there is room under your umbrella so they run to you and ask if they can fit. You say, “Of Course,” because you know in your heart that as long as there is room you will offer that space to anyone who needs it and somehow they also manage to fit with still a little room left underneath this beautiful umbrella that would normally fit only one person.

Then you see two more people with a little girl who are huddled near a wall and you call to them to come over to your umbrella. They run over and they fit, too and everyone is smiling and saying that they don’t believe that they can all fit under your umbrella. And then two more people run over and as they do, you look up and see that your umbrella is expanding as you look at it. And for a second you can see that your Beloved Soul Being who resides above you is smiling and winking at you and you feel so loved and protected. Then you lovingly and easily yell at others that are caught in the rain to come under your umbrella and everyone fits and has the best time because they are all amazed at what is happening. One of the people turns to you and smiles warmly and says, “You must have a very lovely heart.” You ask why and the person says, “Well, as far as I know, when your desire is great the Universe will always conspire to assist you and when you desire so strongly for others, the universe will never desert you. It will always accommodate your loving request so that you are able to do what it is you desire to do without your even knowing exactly how to do it. You simply had to have the desire to be of service and the Universe provided the how.” You smile at the person and say thank you as the others around you begin to smile and applaud the girl with the Beautiful Heart and the Magic Umbrella of Love.

We love you dearly.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.4

So Yes Dear Ones,

Today’s exercise will be good for people who desire to connect more but are unable to do it in a consistent way.

Part 1: The first thing to do is to get a notebook and pen and write down several things that make you happy. Then, make a list of as many things as you can think of that you would like to experience in this lifetime. Finally, briefly write about how you would feel and how your life might be different if you don’t achieve these things. Eg: Will you feel sad, frustrated, free, etc. If you'd like, you can sage and then discard the paper and move to Part 2.

Part 2: Then on another page you are to draw a large circle with yourself in the middle. You are smiling and looking upwards. Then on the outside of the circle you can draw many little stars. These stars are to represent all the possibilities of life experiences that exist for you. You can draw as many stars as you can fit on the page and within the circle you are to write the following thing, “I know that the things I would like to experience are just a drop in the ocean of all things that are possible for me and now I desire to experience all of the greatness that life has for me. In order to do that, I know that I must become one with Life. I am willing to release fear or at least relegate it to its place of being of lesser value than anything else I desire and know that to become all of the things that I would like, I must connect with the source of these things. For when I do that, I have access to so much more than if I focus on any particular thing. I desire for this process to be easy and fun and I give thanks that I am able to truly enjoy this entire process.” And then on the back of the page you are to draw a large circle with a star in the center. Underneath you are to write, “I AM one with God and I allow myself to experience this truth with ease, joy, gratitude, harmony and excitement.”

Then you can hang this up by a mirror or somewhere that you will see it each day and the energy of this image will help make it easy for you to follow your divine guidance and it will also make that guidance come to you in a much more joyful way. When you see this image by the mirror it will also reinforce the truth that you are one with God. You can have either side of the image facing you and Part 1 was just to guide you to the place of being less attached to your dreams.

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.”
