I was having a conversation with God the other day. Admittedly, it seems mostly one sided, with me doing most of the talking. Those who know me, or have read my book, know that I refer to God by many names - Beloved Source of All That Is...Infinite Love....Beloved Oneness.... It's all the same energy of Compassionate Omnipresence to me.
Anyway, I was expressing my intentions, placing forth my prayers, and asking for guidance. There are very few people I know who are not in the moment facing some kind of challenge. Whether it be physical, relationship, familial, emotional, financial or career, everyone seems to be feeling the effects of the shifts we are going through. Ever since the Solstice of June 21st, and with the added oomph of the July 17th Global Light event, there's no question that things around us and within us are changing.
The affirmation for the day is the one I've chosen to provide you with this month. It was about being a "willing receiver" of all good things. I contemplated the breadth and scope of what that might comprise, and added that, one by one, to my affirmations for the day. The list was long, as you can imagine, and money was not the highest priority.
There was clarity and joy, gratitude and health, wisdom and peace, passion and purpose, compassion and understanding, connection and service.....one by one, I kept adding to the list, affirming that I was a willing receiver of these things, and acknowledged their presence in my life. Of course abundance was on the list. My dear friend Kareen likes to say, "Dear God, I don't want much, I just want more!". You get the idea.
And as I found myself in a deeper state of awareness, I asked myself if indeed I was truly a willing receiver. For to receive more of these energies in my life, I would have to remove anything I might believe would be blocking them from coming to me.
Don't get me wrong - my life is incredibly wonderful! The balance to that, the challenges and pressures that come with the changes taking place for all of us, myself included. Was I truly willing to let go of belief systems that no longer serve me? Was I ready to let go of mental patterning that created the stress I was now feeling? Could I let go of attachments that might be stopping the flow and movement I desired?
My answer was YES. Has been since October. I've been saying YES to every possibility and YES to every question and YES to every shift. I did draw the line to adding more community projects, I've got enough of those already.
So beautifully said in the first Matrix movie, ‘It's one thing to know the path, it's another thing to walk it.' We can express our dreams and intentions and prayers to Spirit ‘til we're blue in the face, it's not until we become willing to remove our own blocks that we will see all that we desire manifest.
