Making the Connection

We talk a lot about turning within and making that connection with our Sacred Self, our Divine Self, the wisdom, genius, and brilliance within. And yet, many of us have a fear of making that deep connection with ourselves because we are afraid of what we might find.

I was a master at avoiding looking within. I was good at pretending and I did look within to the places that weren't too deep or too terrifying. Needless to say, I did all of my 'looking' with my head and not with my heart. But I finally embarked on a journey of 'feeling, revealing, and healing' and this journey has been a heart opening and not completely unpleasant. I've discovered my own wisdom and I found there was nothing to fear. In fact, it's been rather entertaining!

What if we are actually betraying our gifts when we fail to connect deeply with ourselves? Even if it looks like we are sharing our gifts, maybe we are actually withholding the fullness of them. If we look within, are we afraid we are powerful or are we afraid we are flawed? Whatever the answer, it's time to face that fear and remember the fear isn't the truth. It's time to let go of that lesser idea (fear) and rise to the heights of glory.

Making that sacred connection with ourselves can be magic in our lives.

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

But it is only as you let go of the lesser that you can take hold of the greater, only as you drop confusion that you can entertain peace, only as you transcend doubt and fear that you can be lifted up to the hill tops of the inner Life.

A 24-Hour Spiritual Journey

The gifts and talents we like about ourselves and accept about ourselves are easy to for us to see. Maybe we're artistic, or kind, or musical, or we have rhythm, or we're coordinated, or we're patient, or we're smart. But what about our other gifts? You know, those gifts we may have buried because we thought they were flaws. Maybe we think we're too introverted, or too extroverted, or too loud, or our laugh is too funny, or we don't plan, or we're too rigid, or we're too spontaneous, or we're too sensitive, or we're not loving enough, not kind enough, not patient enough, or we're not talented, or not creative.

What if some of our most precious gifts come from the part we have buried or hidden? It's time for us to love, accept, and appreciate our total self. It's time to uproot some of the misconceptions we have about ourselves. It's time for us to engage in self-love. 

So, for the next 24 hours, join me in a spiritualjourney where we cast out self-criticism and replace it with self-love. For the next 24 hours, allow yourself to be your own best friend. For the next 24 hours, live your life as an experiment and believe in yourself, and in your inner genius 100%.

Remember, God has given everything from the beginning; we have all the abundance that it's possible to have. But we must express it and make it real.  Let's expect that everything always works out for us; let's expect that our own unique talents, skills, and gifts are a vital piece of the human puzzle and this thing called life; let's expect that we can overcome any of our limited ideas; and let's expect that we are opening our hearts and minds to our infinite possibilities. 

Remember, many activities in life just take from us, but spirituality and a belief in yourself always gives to us. Booyeah! 

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

Let us know that the Law of Mind - the Law of God - operates exactly like a mirror: It reflects back to us what we present to It.  Let us learn to rightly use the Power greater than we are, accept It as ever present with us, responding to us, always reacting affirmatively when we do, always casting out the past as we let It, always creating that new future we accept. Let us begin to feel that we are worthy of the best we can envision. Let us get joy out of living and have a sense of happiness about it. Let us learn to trust where we cannot trace, feeling that each day is an adventure down the pathway of love and success.
