Centering Tools: Holistic Counseling since 1987
Holistic counseling practice since 1987
Where love isn’t, inhumanness is; and suffering arises and inflicts terrible cost – on everybody. To me what is really worth praying for is to recover our core strength to each stand up for our common humanity and hold ourselves accountable to behave accordingly.
Giving thanks is the directive – and acknowledging the abundance and gift of our blessings to survive, sustain and share. In our most troubling times I believe this holiday in particular spiritually offers us a great deal toward self-healing, development, empowerment, and most of all universal caring without condition and without fear, to truly create and support all of our greater good…In that spirit I want to share what I brought forth as the workshop focus in my women’s self-healing and empowerment monthly group meeting last week on exploring the larger meaning and opportunity of blessings for success and higher power for all. Here are the steps…
We are witnessing the opening of our basest, undeveloped, freaked out, regressed, dysfunctional selves in our country – and there’s hell to pay for us all. “Bad karma” would be the phrase for this, with suffering, expanding conflict, racism, expanding greed and economic disparity . . . can we allow ourselves to go backwards in a world that is primed to go forward and take us, whether we like it or not, along with it?
The core operative here on the earth plane is growth towards the expanding greater good – and there are no exceptions. Therefore, there are no “Others” that can’t or shouldn’t benefit from this in an endlessly, creatively unfolding present – we truly are All For One and One For All.
We are all heroes, say all great ancient spiritual traditions, or we wouldn’t be here adventuring and evolving on the earth plane. Whether we talk about designated recovery from addictions, trauma, self-healing, empowerment, therapeutic intervention, they all, to me and actually Carl Jung as part of his definition of archetypes, challenge us to become who we truly are – heroes.
We are endlessly flowing, paradoxically intact patterns of energy. We have the power to shift our the pattern of our energetic field and thereby “raise ourselves up” to a higher frequency level, which changes not only how we respond to our experience but our experience itself.
We truly earn our wisdom through being wholly responsible for our lives; and daring to choose what we come to know in our heart of hearts is right and supports our authentic selves is a sacred act of separating out and choosing with higher clarity and awareness. These choices, in turn, always support the greater good.
Personal retreats clear, relax, inspire, transform, uplift, energize and empower. A classic example of a year long personal retreat is Thoreau’s autobiographical On Walden Pond.
I think of my personal retreats as an “unfolding” as well, as if I had secret wings that here can open up, spread, and take me far away to a special, secret, transcendent place of healing, higher power and new creation. It is your unique “breakaway” from which you will return changed – for the better.
Do You Know What You Believe? As we know and accept ourselves, so do we believe in ourselves. As we believe in ourselves, so do we trust ourselves. As we trust ourselves, so do we freely choose to act and respond in empowered ways from a place of higher awareness and authentic inspiration and caring. …
THE PRESENT IS THE POINT OF POWER . . . Return to Greater Wholeness, and Free Yourself
I have, through my ongoing channeling, experienced a whole new way to enter the “space of no-thing – the endless present”. I have found it to be an infinite space of wholeness and physical, mental, emotional, spiritual belonging of equally endless possibility and freedom to choose . . . to simply be. All else simply falls away in this place of detachment and presence. Here we can change through our unleashed divine will, understanding all else is delusion. Therefore, we allow, freely create, and heighten awareness from a place of greater, developing understanding. Here are my recommendations for you to try . . .
Align Yourself with Your Higher Power’s Faith and Trust in Your Power to Achieve Your Goals Your dreams are really communications from your higher self in faith and trust in your power to create a better and more balanced life for yourself. Although the details of your dreams may change as you grow, the themes …
