It takes great courage to stop running away from our pain, to discern the ways that we have created our own suffering and to determine to think, speak, act, react -- and choose -- differently in order to create a Light-filled life.
This may mean changing the way we eat and drink, the way we work or even where we work, the people in our lives and anything else that is less than Light-filled. More deeply than that, it is likely to mean that we must face the Truth about ourselves. Our biggest clue -- other than Divine Guidance -- is to observe our own actions and the fruits that are manifest in our lives. This can be tricky for us.
Earlier on the spiritual path, we expend a great deal of energy covering our eyes, so to speak, in order to avoid seeing our deepest 'buggy code'. Further along our spiritual journey, we genuinely seek to see the Truth so we can shift whatever we find. Source calls that 'being with what is without judging it'.
It helps to have powerful tools to assist us in this transformational work. Time-honored methods are prayer and meditation. In answer to years of prayer, in the early 2000s Source began to teach me breakthrough additional tools which are specific -- very powerful -- forms of prayer and meditation combined with yet another time-honored tool, dowsing. The combination under Guidance evolved into the Dancing with Source processes.
These are taught in the Dancing with Source Mystery School to individuals who are seekers of the Light and whose dearest, most heart-felt wish is a deeper two-way communication with and conscious connection to Source.
The entire journey of healing ourselves with Source is a miracle of the highest magnitude.
The first step is to realize, 'I am suffering.' Very early in our journey, we may be in such deep denial of our own pain that we are completely unaware of it. Those around us are often aware because our behaviors reveal it. They may or may not give us feedback. Sometimes we recognize our internal pain vaguely, 'through a glass darkly'. We may not know what is wrong, we may not be able to see it clearly or to name it, but we know it hurts.
We are often blind about how we have created this in our lives. At this place, we tend to blame others, possibly to rail against God. We frequently are filled with -- and hurting from -- anger, frustration, impatience, anxiety, fear, anguish, various unfulfilled needs to which we are attached and other things that cause us pain.
PAIN - Persistent Avoidance of Inner Needs
We may be consciously aware that we are hurting or we may be in denial, possibly because we are afraid of the power of our emotions. Lower vibration emotions that we do not accept within ourselves are often active within our subconscious mind. We tend to be aware to some extent of our subconscious emotions through the results of this show up in our lives.
As an illustration, a massage therapist might have clients coming to see him because he gives truly great physical massages. He might be unaware of his impact on the clients, however, when he engages in a steady stream of negative conversation during the session. He doesn't understand that this is toxic for the client both auditorally and energetically. He may be in denial and simply 'dumping' what is boiling within him. He can't understand why clients don't return to see him or they drop off after a few sessions.
He does not yet recognize his own internal wounds which need to be healed.
The second step in transformation is to name what is going on in our life that is giving us pain or how we are feeling, "I am angry, furious, enraged." The willingness to face what is occurring directly and name it is imperative for healing.
The third step is to is to seek help. We search for someone or something that can help us look deeply -- safely -- into our pain in order to understand it, to have compassion for us, and the wisdom to help us understand its underlying causes. At this place on our journey we need support and encouragement and a skillful practitioner who serves the Light.
The fourth step -- which is critical for healing -- is that we understand the underlying causes of our pain, we are able to understand how we contributed to it through our choices, beliefs, thoughts, words, actions, reactions and so much more. Most importantly, we must understand how we continue to feed our pain.
We need to learn from our pain, anger, sadness and other lower vibrational emotions what they want us to learn. What needs to change in our lives?
Almost always, the underlying emotion of
all other lower vibration emotions is fear --
False Evidence Appearing Real.
The fifth step occurs when we clearly understand or 'grok' at the cellular level that when we think, speak, act, and react like this, our pain increases. When we finally connect the dots our transformation can begin.
In the sixth and final step, we learn through our wisdom teachers, our lower vibration emotions, not only what not to do but what the most Light-filled alternatives would be for us. We integrate those into our internal database of knowledge and, finally, we are consciously in choice.
I contacted Ashley several years ago when my pain became too great. I do not remember how I learned of the Dancing with Source work, perhaps through a friend or on the internet. I was in a daze of such pain at that time that much has been deleted from my memory.
My greatest fear was that the pain would never end.
I could not sleep at night; no matter how I tried to find comfort it eluded me. I had excruciating pain in my joints, particularly in my left hip and right shoulder. I had not injured them; I had no illnesses that the doctors could find. They ran many tests but said they could not help me.
When I began working with Ashley I instinctively responded to her warmth and quiet confidence. She gave me the impression that she had seen it all and that nothing daunted her. Somehow that enabled me to relax just the tiniest bit. It seemed there was a glimmer of hope for me.
She built the Watchtowers of Archangelic Protection and I felt the energy change not only in the room, but within my body. It was quite a powerful experience for me. Ashley asked me a few questions and said, 'I've got it.' She began working with Source and the Archangels. I enjoyed it because she spoke aloud so I knew what she was working on. I entered into a warm, relaxed state that was like being held in the arms of God. If I could, I would live in that place. My pain abated; I simply floated as more and more Light began to enter me.
As I recall Ashley asked Source a number of diagnostic questions and then proceeded to work with me to identify the lower vibration emotions that I had stored in my right shoulder and left hip from earlier times of great trauma. I won't go into the story here because that actually wasn't the point. What I learned was how important my reactions to the story were. They were very, very intense and are what I stored, if you will, energetically in my physical body. As I learned from each one what I needed to learn it left and I became progressively more relaxed and Light-filled. In that first session, we cleared so much from my right shoulder that I was able to sleep through the night for the first time in several years.
What a great experience that was after such a long period of deprivation. I still savor it.
I set up a weekly schedule with her for the first two months until my pain was entirely gone everywhere in my body, then we reduced to twice a month for a short period of 2 or 3 months and then to once a month. I was absolutely determined to get to the bottom of this because I didn't want it to recur at a later time in my life.
I did not understand how much I would change in my thinking, my way of speaking, my way of being in the world including my actions and reactions. I am different both externally and internally.
In addition, my circumstances have changed. I learned, through direct experience, that our external world is a reflection of our internal world. I now have a very peaceful, calm, serene life filled with much joy.
To be pain-free is joy in and of itself.
I will never forget my beloved teacher of pain. I continue to be mindful of the lessons I learned as I gratefully learn new ones in every day of my life from a very different teacher: Freedom.
Through the workshops offered in the DWS mystery school, all are empowered to identify incongruencies with Highest Good & congruencies with what is not, create clear two-way communication with the Divine & transform past lives, trauma, disempowering genetic & behavioral inheritances through family bloodlines, disempowering core beliefs, karmic, mental, emotional & egoic patterns, programs, attachments, fragmentation of soul, personality & separation from Spirit, identification & removal of Dark Teachers & implants, as well as dynamic relationship work with the archetypes, concepts, ideas, people, places & things that hold us back from moving into our Light Bodies.
When we clear these & other 'buggy code' from our field we become progressively able tohold more Light & can be of greater service in the uplifting of human consciousnessin preparation for the Ascension.
We do this through advanced energetic healing workshops, private sessions, speaking engagements, and spiritual retreats in partnership with Source, the Archangels, Ascended Masters, and All Beings of Light.
