Giving myself the space

Healing Messages 1.51 – Giving myself the space
I have removed myself from a place where I can be hurt to a place where I can be remarkable.
I have given myself the space.
It is so different being conscious of the sensation instead of just “numbing out”.
I have permission to do all the things I love all the time.
I can write, draw, sing, be inspired, sew, quilt, knit, weave, read.
And it is all OK.
No particular priorities.
Just whatever feels like doing next.
I rotate through all of part of my activities as I am moved to do so.
Everything gets done, but most importantly, it is all done with great joy.
I have my own dynamic, my own rhythm.
I dance my own dance and I sing my own song.
And if you hear it, well and good, and if you do not hear it, I am still dancing and singing.
I am overflowing with gratitude for coming up out of a deep and dark despair.
Every time I have done something for myself, it has added a little more joy, a little more light, a little more confidence.
I move in the light of a great love.
I live in the confidence of not being wrong!
My body is not wrong.
My feelings are not wrong.
My food is not wrong.
Everything fits when it is not wrong.
I have the space to be my great and grand self.
My creativity is my life.
I am living in creative ecstasy.

I love what I am doing the best

Healing Messages 1.50 – I love what I am doing the best
As I look at all the messages and year’s accounting, I realize that I am in love with what I do.
Through many decades, as I have healed, I have progressed into an entirely new approach to life.
My new tools and techniques have evolved into meditations and art which I can now share more widely and in more forms.
It is truly amazing to watch this process of expansion, even as I am living it.
From anxiety and depression and illness, I now experience calm and creative ecstasy.
It is not a small thing to be able to say how grateful and happy I am.
I am combining more than two decades of writing with one decade of art-making to create uplifting healing messages for myself and others.
My expression continually expands.
I am more grateful every day.
I have a deep feeling of peace within and all around me.
I take on new responsibilities calmly and with confidence.
I know that I can learn what I need to in order to carry out my work.
It is a challenge I am willing to take on.
I know that the Universe Who Loves Me is always preparing me for greater expression of It.
I am happy to have learned how to listen for Its generous ideas.
I love the comforting feeling of Presence.
I love feeling the stability that I now have.
I love knowing that all is in balance in my life.
I love knowing that the Universe Loves All of Us.
All the tiny steps I have taken have been guided by inner listening.
I love that this process is available to everyone.
We can each tune into our Higher Power through inner listening and find out what is best for us.
We can each discover what we love and do it.

Choose the next happy place.

Healing Messages 1.49 – Choose the next happy place
I have learned how to release myself from the negative past by finding my happy place.
It is a moment of peace, in a breath, which makes the connection.
My happy place is a place of peace.
I find the peace through inner listening.
In the peace, there is quiet.
I am no longer pushing myself to do something, or being pushed by some outside societal force.
I am satisfied, quiet, within the listening.
I feel an impulse, an urge to do something.
It is a tiny step.
I move toward a project.
I take a tiny step and move to another project.
I am always inspired by creativity.
It is my happy place.
It feeds my soul and allows me to nourish others.
I notice what I am drawn toward.
Fabric, painting, weaving.
I move in succession.
Drawing, sewing, embroidery, knitting.
There is always something new and beautiful to play with.
All the pretty colors and textures.
It sounds simple, but it meets a deep need.

How I ask the question determines the answer

Healing Messages 1.48 – How I ask the question determines the answer
I was participating in a group and making good progress in my own study.
During a meeting, I was asked a question which led me to the past, and I found myself answering in terms which I thought I had already released.
When I gave myself some space, I realized that I have, indeed, made the progress.
I immerse myself in the world I am creating and I live there.
By answering the question in a way that led me back into the past, I experienced the past once again.
I now know to consider where the question is coming from.
Will my answer be true to the new world which I inhabit, or will it lead me to my old patterns?
Can I be perceptive enough to recognize the symptoms that are triggered during the question?
Will I be able to reorient myself to the present and answer by reinforcing where I am now?
The things that happened in the past caused me to leave it.
Nothing which takes me back to the past should be allowed in my current thinking.
When I have more experience in my new world, perhaps I will be able to deal with both the past and present.
Right now, I choose to remain alert to the present.

The Call of Spirit

Healing Messages 1.47 – The Call of Spirit
When we are given the opportunity to do something uplifting, we must take it.
When we have the opportunity for reconciliation, we must take it.
When we are given the opportunity to meet on new ground, we must take it.
Every time we have the opportunity to see something in a higher way, we are being called by Spirit.
When we bow to convenience, we are living in our habitual way.
When we act based on circumstances, we are being distracted from a higher way.
When we weigh the consequences, based on our current situation, we are remaining in our current mode of thought.
Spirit’s call is constant and It asserts Itself at certain times for certain good results.
We learn to be ready for those calls when they occur through our response to crisis.
The effort we make when faced with tragedy or the need to prevent danger to a child, is the effort we need to exert when Spirit calls.
Can we do something for someone else out of their need?
Or do we only do what is convenient for ourselves?
Can we do something to show our respect and high regard for someone else’s work?
Or do we only see things in terms of our current commitments?
What does it take to go beyond ourselves and to draw on Spirit’s resources?
As we do this in times of danger or crisis, we tune ourselves to Spirit’s frequency.
We gain knowledge of resources beyond our own.
If Spirit is there when we need help, what is it like to explore the world of Spirit?
We begin to explore the possibilities for constant communion.
What is different in our day to day life when we consider the world of Spirit?
If Spirit is always present, how do we stay aware of It?
How do we maintain our relationship to this Power?
These are the questions we need to ask in order to find those answers.
Our rigorous efforts to listen within lead us to them.

The Divine Economy

Healing Messages 1.46 – The Divine Economy
Freely receive through inner listening.
Freely give.
All the resources which naturally come to you demonstrate the natural way your clients appear.
And you, because of the nature of your resources and creativity, are freely able to give in the most appropriate and far-reaching ways.
All benefit.
The Divine – because you see It and recognize It and place It first in your life.
You, because you freely and consistently receive the resources of the Divine through pure, uplifting ideas.
Your clients because of the usefulness of what you create.
Your associates, because of the uplifting and inspiring atmosphere in which they work.
Whatever you give as part of your divine nature is being replenished.
Giving starts the flow.
Giving with conviction and without fear characterizes our trust in the Divine.
We accept our divine nature through expressing kindness, sensitivity, generosity, nurturing, awareness, and compassion.
This enables us to give in uplifting and effective ways.
We see our way to solutions.
We take confident steps.
Others join us.
We create a new kind of community.

The New World I Am Building

Healing Messages 1.45 – The New World I Am Building
My new world is governed from within through inner listening.
It operates from the same peace which I experience from within.
My divine connection always guides me to know what to do.
It happens in little things and in big things.
This, for me, is a model for the world.
Each of us who knows how to access our inner peace radiates it all around us.
This connects all of us to peaceful and generous action.
Harmony results from inner peace connections.
Inner peace connection offers a new view and new opportunities by taking away the fear which drives us in so many ways.
Communities which value all their members will be common.
They will not be driven by outside forces.
They will value each member, allowing them to express their contribution in the highest ways.
This is a practical way to run a community.
When everyone is recognized and seen and valued, their true needs can be known.
With everyone able to contribute, all needs can be met.
My new world recognizes everyone as precious and valued, and this creates a corridor for their expression.
My new world takes place in the inner awareness, the conciousness, of each individual.
This sets up a frequency which others of like-mind respond to.
We draw together in community to create space for expression of our high ideals.
Each one of us so precious.
Each one of us brings valuable skills and insight to solving our problems.
Combined, our action addresses needs and brings harmony.
This provides the most stable foundation and allows us to adjust in a timely manner when changes are necessary.

My Own Track

Healing Messages 1.44 – My Own Track
I am on the right track because I am on my own track.
Only I can feel the intuition which guides me.
Only I am at this particular point in space and time.
I am the only one with my perspective.
This places me in a unique position to assess my situation.
Which way do I want to turn?
Do I wish to stay where I am?
Do I wish to make a change?
Which direction is best for me?
This is where I can reflect in quiet meditation.
As I take time to reflect, I take a deep breath.
The peace permeates my body.
I sense the Presence of an idea.
The idea translates itself perfectly to me.
As this answer appears consistently, I know I can trust it.
I can take the tiny step.
Once I gain the courage to do so, I prepare myself for the next, and the next.
I am on my way.
Slowly, I gain momentum.
I am not afraid to pause.
I know how to reflect and listen.
I am so satisfied and relieved.
This is my place.
My own track is a good fit for me.

Keep moving.

Healing Messages 1.43 – Keep moving.
This is my most constant answer to myself.
When the feeling of criticism or any other kind of negativity tries to move in, I remind myself “Keep moving”.
I pull myself back up over and over again.
I take the first tiny step.
I place one pin in a sewing project.
I tie off one warp thread.
I pull out a pen and sketch pad and draw one mark on a meditation drawing.
This time, when the feeling of depression hit a frequency from the past, I caught it before I went totally down.
I could feel it coming and when I heard myself say something really negative and critical about myself, I knew I had to act fast.
First, I tried food.
Since I have cleaned out everything except good food, I ate a banana.
I was already rolling with my food canning project, so that felt good.
I decided to do a round robin of all the projects I have started.
I ended up pinning a complete line of sashing for a quilt.
I ended up completing the rest of the warp tie-up for my new weaving project.
Then I wrapped the shuttle with the yarn for the weft.
I even started weaving a little.
I reattached a velcro closure for my husband’s gym bag.
I still have my four knitting projects.
I am watching a video to learn a new crochet stitch.
I can keep my thought elevated by distracting myself and being productive until I kick into my normal uplifted mode of thinking.
I love me. That is where I start.
In the meantime, I have gotten several little, and bigger, things done.

The Infinite Peace

Healing Messages 1.35 – The Infinite Peace
In the infinite peace, there is calm.
I feel this calm as I breathe in the peace.
It permeates my entire body.
The longer I maintain my connection to peace, the more I sense it all around me.
It is an ever-present phenomenon; I only have to maintain my part.
The patience I desire comes with the peace.
Everything happens at the right time in the right way in the Infinite.
Partial or fragmented views are completed through patience in the Infinite.
My choice is only to listen within.
I unite action with contemplation as I am led from within.
I feel the familiar comforting Presence as I persist.
It surrounds me and assures me.
I feel my feet on solid spiritual ground.
I stand on the ground of the Infinite.
My view expands as I gaze peacefully around me.
There is more and more peace.
Could there be only peace?
From the view of the Infinite, there is peace for all.
In all the many minute adjustments, there is harmony and peace.
We are all so precious.
Well-being for each of us means well-being for all.
This is how peace expands from within all around us.
The Universe Who Loves Us gives us this peace.
We continue to take our tiny steps until all are included.
