 RECOGNIZE MESSAGE FROM SPIRIT August 02, 2007 3:11 PM

Consider the questions in the box at the bottom and choose the one that resonates most strongly with you. Then close your eyes and imagine you’re back in that situation. See everything in vivid detail, but instead of viewing it from your personal perspective, ask to be given the larger perspective or meaning of what was happening. Breathe deeply and allow whatever response arises to be your answer, whether it comes in the form of an image, phrase or story. This is a message from spirit. It may tell you that you’re loved and safe, that everything is okay, that God is real, or all is one. Tune in to the messages your experiences might have held. You can do this exercise for all of the questions and also apply the technique to your present life. Love is trying to speak to you in every moment. You need only listen.

  1. Have you ever suddenly felt completely safe even though you were in the midst of danger or in a crisis?
  2. Have you ever sat by the side of a dying person and felt a sense of peace or coolness in the air at the moment they passed on?
  3. Do you know anyone who has recovered from a “terminal” disease?
  4. Have you ever had a prayer answered?
  5. Have you seen a soft light around another person or yourself?
  6. Have you ever asked God or Spirit for guidance or the solution to a problem and received it?
  7. When you’ve seen something beautiful in nature, such as a soaring bird or full moon, have you felt like you’d expanded beyond the physical limits of your body?
  8. Has the sight of a newborn baby filled you with wonder?
  9. Do you ever feel a peaceful inner silence, perhaps when you first wake up or just before drifting off to sleep?
  10. Do you ever get messages from your intuition and know that you can absolutely follow them?

This is excellent! August 05, 2007 2:47 PM

I am still learning tools/techniques to make getting in touch with my inner "universal" self something I can do more easily, and with greater, targeted effect on my life. Before this last year I didn't even know what these messages were, and everything spiritual was instinctive, like a child. I believe this exercize will help me develop a lot, both in accessing the feelings/messages, and knowing what they are telling ME! Thanks again, dear friend, and light & comfort in managing your health!  [ send green star]  [ accepted]

You can also imagine that spirit is with you every moment for guidance, communication. But really, you dont have to just imagine because the relationship with spirit is just as real and true as anything we physically see. My own spirit has connected with many lovely kindred spirits to help me in life. Its a two way reciprocating relationship, as it honors them as well.

The core of my being is the ultimate reality, the root and ground of the universe, the source of all that exists.

DEEPAK CHOPRA: Go to a quiet place where you are not likely to be disturbed. Put on a tape or CD of your favorite soothing music. Close your eyes. As you do so, turn your attention to who is really listening. Begin to notice two different facets of yourself. Your ears pick up the sound and your brain processes the notes, but that's only the mechanics of hearing. What connects the notes so that they form music? Are you thinking about listening. Who is doing the actual listening? Notice the silent witness, the silent listener who is always present. This presence exists not only in yourself, but also in the space around you. It is that part of yourself that is beyond the thoughts and feelings of the moment, the part that never tires and never sleeps. Nor can this part of you ever be destroyed. Recognize that this silent witness is always there.

Noticing your Spirit February 15, 2008 4:05 PM

Although it means "going beyond," a better way to describe transcending is "seeing beyond." What can you see beyond the apparently solid façade of live, the constant flow of time, the limitations of space, and the laws of cause and effect? If the answer is very little, the reason is that your perception has not been trained for such vision. Yet every day contains clues of the second reality we all inhabit, which is timeless, unbounded, causeless, and intimately tied to our needs on the path to love.
This practice trains you to stop overlooking the spirit and love that surround you, waiting to be noticed.

Examine the following list to determine if you have experienced these clues of being connected to your spirit:

1. In the midst of danger or crisis, have you suddenly had the feeling of being completely safe and protected?

2. Have you been with someone who was dying and felt a sense of peace?  Or felt a gentle rush of air?

3. Have you known someone who recovered from an "incurable" illness?

4. Have you prayed and had your prayer answered? Do you say 'thank you' out loud?

5. Have you ever witnessed a soft light around another person or yourself?

6. Have you ever asked for silent guidance or the answer to a dilemma and received it? Or the answer revealed in a dream?

7. When looking at a sunset, a full moon, or something of great natural beauty, have you felt yourself expand as if you were no longer enclosed within the physical limits of your body?

8. Have you experienced a silencing of your mind, perhaps just before going to sleep or upon first waking up?

9. Have you felt a loving presence when you most needed it?

10. Do you ever hear an inner voice you feel you can absolutely rely on? (This voice doesn't have to speak in words; it can also be a strong feeling or intuition.) Or did you ever "hear" and audible voice so real you looked around to see who it was? Very Intense. Whatever it says do it. Unless you are paranoid schzenophrenic..

11. Have you felt wonder at the sight of a newborn child?

12. When you think of any of these experiences that relate to you, do you feel that you are loved, safe, that part of your self watches over you, that you know, that the light is with you, that God is real, that nothing is wrong, that you are at peace, that things are OK, that you can love, that everything is one?

Attune yourself to spirit, and it will speak to you in love.
