Opening Our Global Heart

Like many around the globe, I entered into deep prayer and meditation when I learned what was happening in Japan. I focused on using the Buddhist meditation technique called lojong of breathing in the pain and suffering of the people in Japan, embracing it and -- through an open, compassionate heart -- transmuting that energy into the most Light-filled alternatives and breathing out.

During this process which went late into the night on that first evening, I became aware of the field of compassionate hearts all around Earth doing the same thing. It felt as if we were breathing with one collective breath through our joined hearts.

I felt the presence of the Archangels and many, many High Beings of Light joining in. I was Guided to use many of the Dancing with Source energetic processes to offer assistance to the energy fields of the many people who were terrified and hurting. This experience of pure love combined with service was transcendent.

The next day I found that every step I took was blessed. As I ran my mundane errands, parking spots right by the front door of the shops I needed to go into were available to me, sometimes with time still on the parking meters. People everywhere were kind and gracious, far beyond my usual experience. In part this may have been due to the magic that happens in a large scale emergency when many of us are hurting and others of us who are not just naturally become more kind and compassionate than usual.

It felt like something more than that, however. It felt as if the experience of oneness had been carried forward from the night before into the following day -- and my experience of everything was enhanced, sparkled, and was filled with love.

I became aware of the energetic gifts of gratitude, unconditional love and compassion that are returned to each of us when we give freely with a compassionate and loving heart -- irrespective of what it is that we are giving. The feeling was so pervasive that it was impossible to miss.

That in turn created even more gratitude, love and compassion in my own heart to continue to give to people who are hurting and in tremendous difficulty.

The refugees in Japan need all of the monetary help we can give them AND they need all of our love and compassion through prayer and meditation on their behalf during this time.

Please join in with all of us around the globe to provide continual support for those of us who need help.

May you be blessed.

So I was thinking, "You ought to write something for the newsletter." I sat down at my computer and just stared at the screen. Then I started writing about something that was nice - families reuniting and love and forgiveness, compassion for yourself when you can't forgive and the thought of loving makes you want to throw up, and yada yada yada yada.

It was shaping up pretty well and all of a sudden, I just said, "No. This is coming from me, not through me. I'm forcing this ... doing it because it's what I think I should do, not what I know I have to do." Did you catch that difference there - thinking vs. knowing? I became aware of the fact that I was putting a lot of effort into forcing something out. In my previous writing everything just flowed. I get "a hit" and can't get to the computer fast enough. I rarely have to work hard at it. It's often totally invigorating and effortless.

Before I could think twice, I deleted everything. It felt soooo good. And as I breathed, and smiled broadly, that's when I KNEW what this writing was going to be about. It's about allowing, not forcing. It's about listening to and being led by the ever-present internal, Divine Wisdom vs. thinking or taking action because of some message of "you ought to" that comes from your own or other past, present or anticipated voices.

LIFEWORK:

1. Folks, if it feels like you're pushing a rock uphill - you are! In fact, you may be pushing a mountain uphill!! I encourage you to allow yourself to get in touch with the tiring effort vs. exhilarating effort that you're investing. You don't even have to think a whole lot about it. As you become aware, just stop.

If you're having that experience, you may be working against what's in your highest good. Will we experience challenges? You betcha. And will some of them be horrific? You betcha. And do we have to be horrified by the horror? Do we have to be sick, tired and exhausted in the midst of a sickening, tiring, exhausting situation? No. Remember that while we are being horrified, sick, tired, whatever, we're just creating more of those non-beneficial emotions. In Dancing with Source we refer to these as "buggy code" and we learn to choose differently and shift them to a more beneficial set of feelings. So, just say "I will NOT have this!"

2. Breathe. There's a better way. A way out of the situation and a way to begin experiencing it differently even as you are being led through it.

3. Breathe. Be. Release. Listen. Allow. Know. Do. When you follow these steps, you'll more easily allow what is in your highest good and the highest good of all. You will likely find that you will begin to experience the quality and effectiveness of this new way of being as well as joy and success in ways and amounts that you wouldn't have enjoyed had you tried to push that rock up the mountain.

And if you are experiencing more obstacles that you can handle on your own, ask a Dancing with Source Master Facilitator to work with you.
