Moving From Fear to Love

A Message From Spirit:

Moving From Fear to Love

Before I connect with a client on the phone, I sit in meditation for a few minutes. Very often, I'll receive guidance from Spirit about what needs to be communicated to that person. Last week, I got a very clear message for my client ... with the understanding that I was also meant to share this message with all of you.

Here's what I received:

"If you will just breathe, it will come to you. You don't need to pull it toward you ... that's working too hard. This is a time when you must embrace the grace of every moment, and express your gratitude for what is now."

This message has tremendous resonance for me personally, and my sense is that it will be useful for many of us during this time of shift and transformation. When we are afraid, we hang on more tightly, clutch at what we have, especially when we feel it might be taken away from us.

Once we make the shift to love, we can open our hands ... open our hearts ... and allow ourselves to receive what we need and let go of what no longer serves us.

I’ve talked with a lot of people in the last week who are afraid that if they don’t scramble, grab, clutch at opportunities, crush the competition, get out in front … all will be lost.

They may feel like they're watching life as they wanted it to be slip away from them ... and all their hopes are vanishing in the rear view mirror.

This is an illusion.

It's true that everything is changing now, and we're being called to adjust to a "new normal" instead of trying to hang on until the "old normal" reasserts itself. It won't.

Embracing the grace of every moment, expressing gratitude for what is now, is not easy. It requires being mindful of exactly who you are in this moment ... not as you were in the past or hope to be in the future, or could have been if things had only gone your way. Being aware of who you are in this precise moment, and being grateful for moment, opens you up to gifts you might not even notice otherwise.

Fear tells us to hold on tighter, ferociously guard what little we have in case someone tries to take it away. Fear brings all the light and air and possibility in the world down to a dark, desperate pinpoint focus.

Love invites us to relax our death-grip, give freely from what we have so there is space to be filled with more good things. Love lifts our head from that desperate, narrow focus, and opens our senses so we can breathe the air, see the light.

I often say that shifting your perspective from fear to love doesn’t make a lousy situation any less lousy. But all that fear-based scrambling leads you right back to where you started … stuck, paralyzed, miserable. And love invites opportunity, welcomes change, embraces new partnerships, new horizons.

Make the shift … and welcome choices, chances, hope.

The Mothers Prayers

The Mothers Prayers



by Betty J. Eadie

"I saw angels rushing to answer prayers. They were organized to give as much help as possible. As they worked within this organization, they literally flew from person to person, from prayer to prayer, and were filled with love and joy by their work. they delighted to help us and were especially joyful when somebody prayed with enough intensity and faith to be answered immediately. They always responded to the brighter, larger prayers first, then each prayer in turn, until all of them were answered...all prayers of desire are heard and answered. When we have great need, or when we are praying for other people, the beams project straight from us and are immediately visible. I was also told that there is no greater prayer than that of a mother for her children. These are the purest prayers because of their intense desire and, at times, sense of desperation. A mother has the ability to giver her heart to her children and to implore mightily before God for them. We all have the ability, however, to reach God with our prayers."

Cleaning Out the Spiritual Closet

Cleaning Out the Spiritual Closet

It all began with one of those “weekend” projects that lasted more like two weeks. My husband decided it was a great idea to take everything out of our walk in closet and remodel it. Great idea, yes. Finished in a weekend, heck no!

I arrived home that Saturday to find my things scattered throughout the house. There was clothing, books, shoes, memorabilia and various other items seemingly in every corner of the house. When I saw the disarray I was overwhelmed. The very thought of someone, even my husband, moving all my personal belongings felt very invasive and I was immediately put off by the entire process of de-cluttering and reorganizing. Seeing everything in front of my own eyes, the collection of things I have acquired, was unsettling on so many levels.

I have to admit, this whole process drained me. The physical and time consuming progression of this chore made my skin crawl. I didn’t want to face sorting through lifetime’s worth of material possessions. Choosing what still fit, what I wanted to keep and what I was willing to let go of became dreadful.

I started to comb through writings and journals from the last few years. As I read some of the words they seemed so foreign to me. I remembered instances in my life and once again relived them through my own words and perspective I held at that time, in that space. So much of what I expressed was no longer a part of me. It was not my reality. The feelings and emotions, just like the old clothes and shoes, no longer fit me anymore.

I gathered together the belongings I wanted to keep. I arranged them neatly into the remodeled closet, taking care with each piece. What I wanted to discard, I put into bags to gift to someone else.

I went through each journal, keeping the writings that were important, and ripping out the pages that did not fit. I carried these pages outside, along with some matches, and lit them on fire. It was a form of release and cleansing for me. It was a statement to the universe of who I am, right now and who I can no longer be.

After that ritual, I was propelled to sort through more things in the house. It was beautiful to be in the process of creating new energy and releasing what no longer served my purpose.

What a wonderful gift to let go of the old beliefs that held me back from moving forward. It amazes me to think how one simple weekend project can become a life changing event. Sometimes it’s the smallest things that bring about the largest shifts in perspective.
