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 Exercize: 6.12

Yes Dear Ones,

This exercise will be good for people who want to move forward on their spiritual path but would like a little clarity first.

First, see yourself surrounded by a large golden circle of light that extends about 5 feet on either side of you. Imagine that this circle of light is pulsating and as it pulsates, this golden light is being infused into every cell of your body, right down to you DNA until you completely merge with it. Then imagine a blue and a pink light above you that are the same size as the current ball of light that you are in. See each light, one at a time, merge with the golden light that you have become one with. Once all three of the lights have come together, you should see in the center a light that is stronger and more radiant than the surrounding light. This is where your heart connects with the light of your Divine Soul Being. Within this heart, within this light, is the powerful seed for everything you wish to do, be, have or feel in this lifetime along with how to accomplish it. This light is the center of your existence and a power source for your physical self. In this light, you and the divine are one.

You will do well to see yourself in this space often. And whenever you have questions about your life or about the next best steps for you to take, make sure to do this meditation before you ask yourself these questions, and you will be sure to be clearly guided along your path. Things that you didn’t even know that you desired or needed but that are best for you will be presented to you in a way that you will not be able to miss and that all parts of your being will be aligned with.

We love you dearly.

Divine Love Exercise: 6.11

Today’s exercise will be good for people who feel that they do not believe that things are happening for their highest good and would like some assistance.

First, see yourself standing in a room that is orange and has many doors. You don’t know which one to go through, for in fact you do not know where you want to go. There is a sort of general feel of hopelessness because you don’t even know why you are here. You know that you want to move forward but having no goal and not knowing where any of the doors lead anyway is sort of a conundrum. You look upwards and see the ceiling and then it is as if you can see the sky through the ceiling. You have a feeling of expansiveness that you did not have before and you wonder where this feeling comes from. So you look within and it is as if you feel the tiniest seed of light within your being that says, “Listen to me. I am here and I am of value.” While still experiencing this feeling of expensiveness you tune into the little, light, voice that seems to be speaking to you within. It is barely a whisper but that voice says that you want to feel good and that you want to do something related to the arts. Then you look at yourself and the little voice and say, “Really? I’ve never been interested in the arts before. I only know that I like math and that I would like to be of assistance to others. But this voice within me is saying “Art” and I feel good about that so I guess I will listen to that voice.” Then you look back at the doors and it is as if there are labels on the doors now and you know that you didn’t see them before or rather you don’t think that you saw them before. You see one that is marked with the words “Art” so you decide to walk through that door and when you go through you feel amazing. You find that there are many people doing things that are related to the arts and you feel connected to the people and to what they are doing in a way that you had never imagined. You begin to talk to someone about what they are doing and before you know it you are in the employ of some lovely people who do some lovely things and you feel wonderful.

So you are walking around feeling good about the fact that you listened to this voice or even that you noticed that it was there and just by acknowledging that little voice you feel its call again. It says to you “Love” and you wonder what it means by “Love” because you feel that you love what this job is offering you and you love the people you work with but you listened to the voice before and it brought you someplace wonderful so you decide to listen to it again. Then you turn around and notice that people seem to have words floating above their heads and you definitely didn’t see that before. There are only a few people that are nearby whose words you can read clearly but there is one person that approaches and you can see the word “Love” floating above their head. More importantly, you can feel the love emanating from that person. You introduce yourself and you strike a friendship over time. You find that it is not a love relationship in the sense of romantic love but there is a friendship so deep and honest and so healing that is clearly love. So again you thank the little light within for presenting itself to you and for the fact that when you acknowledged it and decided to follow it, even without knowing how, there was a way presented for you.

Then you seem to hear it speak again simply because you were thinking about it and this time the voice says, “Now.” You wonder what it means but you say to yourself, “Well, it is speaking and I am committed to listening. So,…“Now.” What does this mean?” And in the instant you ask you feel as if you are connected to all of life. You feel, see, hear and understand things in a way that you never knew possible. You can see how all of life is connected and how every event that you experienced has brought you to this wonderful spot in your life. And how “Now” is in fact the best place to be for here there is no worry, you are provided for, you have the most power to love and to do what brings you your highest joy, and to be of assistance to others.

Again you thank this little light within which you realized isn’t so little anymore and you give thanks that you now know and you trust and believe - because you have seen, felt and experienced that truth - that you are divinely guided. You know that there is more to life than you believed previously and that if you follow your internal voice, you will be lead to the most miraculous of experiences. Also, you will be able to spread the light of that truth out into the world just by the simple fact that you believe.

Divine Love: Exercise 6.10

This exercise will be one for when you feel that you’ve gotten off track and you would like to get back on.

The first thing to do is to close your eyes and see yourself standing in a white circle of light that expands until it’s about 10 feet on either side of you. Then look upwards and imagine that you can see a tunnel of light that connects you directly to your Divine Soul Being. Then imagine a lovely silver cord, a blue cord and also a gold cord of light extending down this tunnel and then anchoring in your heart.

From that point you should open your eyes and get a pen and paper. Draw a large circle on the paper and in the center you should draw a dot. This dot is to represent you. Around that dot you should draw little stars or circles and these represent the many options and directions that you can take in your life. From the center of the circle until the external edge of the circle, draw a straight line and know that any type of line you draw between you (the dot) and your connection to God (the edge of the circle) will represent your spiritual path.

Then pick any stars that you feel drawn to and connect them in any fashion you like as long as the line begins in the center and continues to the edge. You can spiral around, you can draw a straight line between you and the edge, you can sort of squirrel around a bit – whatever you’d like to do. Underneath the circle you should write, “This is my path of highest joy. This is what I have come to do in this lifetime and I decree and declare that I am worthy of this wonderful journey. I will do whatever I possibly can to stay on this path because it is truly for my absolute highest good and greatest joy as well as for the absolute highest good for of all of life. I give thanks that this path is presented so clearly to me and is also easy for me to find my way back to if I feel that I have strayed a bit.”

You can simply hang this drawing somewhere you see it on a regular basis or keep it handy for whenever you find that you’ve fallen a bit off track. Whenever you choose to look at it, first see yourself surrounded by the large circle of light with the cords and tunnel of light that connect you to the Divine, then look at the image you drew and then read what you wrote with your own hands underneath the image.

You will be amazed at how this helps you to stay on track.
We love you dearly and will speak to you soon.

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.
