When Do You Know Enough to Work with Clients?

Dear Incredibly Beautiful and Loved Friends,

Today I got an amazing message from someone I have newly connected with in Facebook. My new friend has been in training and has worked with people but realizes that there is more to learn and is wanting to learn even more before really going forth into the world to share his gifts.

Here is the reply I sent to him:

I had this woman do some energy work on me today. Phenomenal…. She found me on Facebook. Anyway, I’m telling you this as I have often had an inner battle about not knowing enough.

It’s funny, you see people go on a course and they run out and want to heal people and are full of confidence; yet the more someone learns the more they realize there is so much MORE to learn.

Start working now…… do it in anyway that feels comfortable to you. At some point someone will come along and help you tweak your energy or you won’t need it because you will see the benefit your clients are getting from you.

People that come to you will only come for what you know. It is IMPOSSIBLE for someone to come for a treatment from you in area you haven’t learned. It just doesn’t work that way.

ALSO, and this is HUGE, you know this…. People come for YOUR Energy, what you share consciously can not compare to what you are giving on the deeper levels…. You have that all the time, you can do it in your sleep.

Find what feels comfortable for you and do it.

What I am trying to say is I have studied for over 20 years, my website was just put up this year and I have only been working on it for a few months… I don’t feel completely knowledgeable and ready and I have over 20 years of teachings, training, studying, learning etc. What is enough????? I just took the plunge and today I’m actually loving it.

You are doing extremely well.

I love you.

Thank you.

The Most Important Relationship You’ll Ever Have!

Dear Beautiful and Loved Co-creators,

This past week has been a busy one for me. I’ve been working more with my favorite clients and reveling in their reaching new levels of peace and self awareness.

Everything I’ve dealt with this past week has been based on relationships. If you’ve worked with me or have been reading my posts you’ll know that the relationship that is the foundation of all your other relationships is the one you have with yourself. (Meaning the one you have between you and your Inner Being, Creator, Source)

How you feel about yourself is reflected in your relationships. If you don’t feel worthy or good enough that is going to show up in at least one relationship.

The way to improve your relationships with others is to improve how you feel about yourself and how you view yourself.

If you are in a relationship then use it to your benefit to really explore how you feel about yourself. Your partner is reflecting back to you what you truly believe inside of you.

If you are not in a relationship use this time to build on your relationship with you and your connection to Source Energy.

I love the saying that ‘you are born alone, you die alone’. Not because I believe it, but it reminds me of my reality. My reality is that we are always connected to that greater part of us that is connected to the infinite power and resources of Source. We come from that, we can tap into that and Create what Feels Good.

The other thing I love about that saying is that it reminds me of the gaps, the in between spaces in relationships. Regardless if you are in a relationship or not there are times when you might feel alone. These are the times to reach for and grab your connection to Source. Reclaim your power, your essence.

Society is big on teaches us that our partner provides this, that or the other. As humans it so easy to get wrapped up into the belief that we are providers of happiness for our partners. In reality we are responsible for our own happiness. Our partners our responsible for theirs.

We are only alone in ‘our mind’. In reality we are completely connected. We are all energetically linked and everything and anything is possible.

If you want to be in a loving and happy relationship use the image of what you DO want as your driving force to really get to know what you want, what would be perfect for you. If you don’t know than work through what you don’t want. Make a list of what you don’t want. Work on it a bit every day. Focus on what you don’t like. Then use what you don’t want as a way to get awareness of what you do want. Really clarify what you want.

All the time build on your knowledge that you always have the greater part of you, your Inner Being, the part of you that is completely connected and IS Source Energy with you.

Today my wish for you is to KNOW that nothing is final, nothing is as concrete and permanent as your ability to change things to how you really want them to be. You are a Divine Expression of Source Energy. You are beautiful and you are loved!

I love you.

Thank you.

Ho’oponopono Upstream or Downstream?

Dear Gorgeous and Magnificent Co-Creators,

I got a lovely message from a client asking me if doing Ho’oponopono was going Upstream or Downstream because it brought up emotions when she thought of things to ‘clean’ on but then when she’d cleaned she felt much better. This is my reply to her:

“I’m not sure how upstream doing the Ho’oponopono process is. What I am sure of it that is does take me downstream and gets me more in the flow than I would have been had I not done Ho’oponopono in the first place.

I haven’t heard Abraham talking about the Ho’oponopono process. I know that Joe Vitale is friends with Jerry and Esther Hicks and that in the early days he used to get into their seminars for free because they loved him so much. I know from one of Joe Vitale’s downloads that I bought he plans on asking Abraham about the Ho’oponopono process and how it fits in with their teachings.

I believe that Ho’oponopono falls in line with my Native American medicine teachings. I was taught by an Oglala Medicine Man that our Chakra’s are made up of hundreds of pictures (facets) and that when we clean a picture then people can no longer push our buttons on that picture. A picture is literally a snapshot in time or a movie that is one of the facets of one of our Chakras. There is an initial incident that then each similar incident is placed upon the memory of the last. Each time a similar incident happens then the emotions of ALL of the incidents are brought up. The Natives I trained with called these ‘pictures’, Richard Bandler co-founder of NLP calls them ‘pictures’.

For instance as a child your dad calls you ‘stupid’ in fit of anger and that makes a picture. Then you go to school a few years later and get into an argument with a friend and she calls you stupid. That brings up the emotion of your dad calling you ‘stupid’ and you place the memory of your friend calling you ‘stupid’ on top of that. So say the first time it happened with your dad it made you feel not good enough, every time you get called ‘stupid’ you feel as if you aren’t good enough. That is a picture. It can be built on time and time again. There is no limit to how many layers are in that ‘picture’.

What Ho’oponopono does is cleans and erases those layers, in my opinion. What Ho’oponopono says is that the limiting beliefs, the pictures can be there from the beginning of time. This falls in line with the Native belief that ‘pictures’ can be built upon lifetime after lifetime.

It seems as though just like me you are getting results from doing the Ho’oponopono, so just keep doing it! Does it matter if Abraham is for or against something? Abraham is usually FOR processes. They used to say affirmations were good, now more recently they say that it is going a bit upstream, but if it works to take you downstream you should do it! Do anything that takes you downstream.”

I love you.

Thank you.

For or Against?

Dear Beautiful Co-Creators,

Has anyone cottoned on that I use Facebook? There are some annoyed people on Facebook because of the change in layout on Facebook.

Today I got an invitation to join a group, this was the header: 1,000,000 AGAINST THE NEW FACEBOOK LAYOUT!

I sent the whole of the group this message:

“You might find the energy of being ‘FOR the Old Facebook’ works better than being AGAINST. When you are pushing away the focus of pushing away attracts more of it. What you focus on is what you CREATE. Put your focus on what you want, not what you don’t want!

Good luck with your mission!

You are powerful and loved Creators.”

I got a reply that basically said it depends and that it’s sometimes good to say no. I replied:

“I think it comes down to teachings. From my training the Universe and the Subconscious do not understand the negative words: no, not, never, etc. Science proved the latter, or at least Richard Bandler did. So, if you use a sentence with “no” or “don’t” in it the Universe/Subconscious/Spirit automatically delete the negative words, which usually leaves you with a statement that is FOR what it is that you are against.

Obviously you can say NO to people, to Facebook, whatever. I’m just saying that a NO energy against something is much less effective than a YES energy that is FOR something.

The Universe works by ADDING and CREATING, it’s Creation based. Against is pushing away.”

Please know that it is easier to Create something that you want than to say ‘No’ to what you don’t want and keep the unwanted thing away.

Be FOR Peace, instead of Against War. Being AGAINST anything is attracting more of what you don’t want! Be for a Great Relationship instead of Against a bad relationship! Be FOR fidelity instead of Against infidelity!

Use what it is that you don’t want as a way to get clarity of what you DO want. Then put your focus on what it is that you want. The more you put your focus on what you want, the more that ‘thing’ you didn’t like fades into the background.

The Universe, Source Energy views what feels good, not what doesn’t. Find ways to appreciate what is and use what you don’t like to rocket you forward into what you do and then keep your focus on that.

Learn how to love where you are right now and you will be living your dreams before you know it!

I love you. You are beautiful and powerful Creators!

Falling in Love

Dear Amazing Co-Creators,

Wow! It’s funny how people see love. I just read a pretty ‘disturbing’ description of love on Facebook. I think it was a Shakespeare quote. (I’m not sure, just a guess!) Anyway I will copy it here so you know what it is:

“Love in its purest form does face the fury and the wrath and possible extinction due to wanton, relentless battering it gets … we poison love and stab at it and knock it down in mud and it gets up, staggers on, bleeding and muddy and awful, yet it lives on … in the end nothing can keep it from surviving, like a flower which blooms from under a solid boulder .. frail against the elemental fury, yet swaying ever so beautifully in the relentless wind …

The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much and the course of love never did run smooth, yet a tempest on high seas always holds sway over a calm sea ….”

The above quote is definitely the opposite of how I view Love.

Love for me is something that flows through us freely from the greater part of us. It is always there in the absolute perfect amount. Always ready, willing and waiting for us to open ourselves up and embrace our truest nature, which is to love freely, openly and unconditionally. Not just ourselves but everyone and everything.

When we are truly being Divine Expressions of Source Energy we have all the love of Source Energy, of the entire Universe flowing through us to everything we come in contact with. When we hold someone in that Love a great healing transpires as regardless of where that person was vibrating before the interaction they too are now vibrating more from a place of peace and connectedness.

We all have the ability to experience pure unconditional Love. We feel that Love every time we embark on the journey of a new relationship. People wrongly assume that it is all to do with the other person. The reality is that person holds aspects that remind us of who we really are and we are flooded with all the Love that is there for us all the time, whether we are in a relationship or not.

The best thing to do when Falling in Love is to stay Grounded and remember that the Love flowing through you is the Love that Source Energy and Your Inner Being has for you AND for your significant other. You want to stay Grounded and to remind yourself of this because that ‘Falling in Love’ feeling doesn’t usually last more than a few months and reality starts to kick in. There is a way to keep that Falling in Love feeling going in a perpetual cycle until death do you part. I know, I live it on a regular basis.

The reason why Falling in Love feelings start to fade away is because our old ways of thinking and believing start to come back into existence. While in the state of Falling in Love or better yet BEING IN LOVE all our lower vibration tendencies are gone. We are floating on the cloud of possibilities. We are Creating, Living in and Experiencing Dreams. We ARE in the Vortex of Who We Really Are.

At some point we start to fall back down to reality and we see our partner doing something that isn’t in keeping with the dreams that we were just so recently creating and we are not best pleased. We immediately start pulling back a bit and experience a loss of faith on some level. The worse thing we do is blame the other person. This is easy to do as the other person has already received FULL CREDIT for how we felt while we were Falling In Love. It’s easy to get wrapped up into blaming the other person from taking that great feeling away!

The more you connect to Who You Really Are, the more you build on your relationship with Your Inner Being and Source Energy the more you can have the feelings of Being IN Love, even if you are single!

I am married and my relationship with Julian has had it’s up and downs. Once I fully turned to to working on my relationship with my Inner Being and Source Energy our relationship improved in leaps and bounds. I was able to experience the sensations, urges and energy of Being IN Love. At first he was the same, but the more I relished in my new found experience the more he was attracted to me like a moth to a flame. Every day is a new opportunity to feel greater amounts of LOVE!

Yes, I have my own contrast, I am here having a physical experience just like you! It’s just unlike other relationships that I have heard about, Julian and I keep having a ‘Honeymoon Period’ time and time again. I’d like to state again that I am the main person working on this. Julian has aligned with a great relationship by doing what he wants and I’m the one doing the ‘work’ that we both benefit from!

Really I can hardly call it ‘work’ when the results are so incredibly fantastic. Each day we have the opportunity to experience freshness and newness in our relationship yet we have the benefit of really knowing one another and feeling relaxed and comfortable in each other’s presence.

Falling in Love is really about you Falling in Love with who you really are and the other person is just a reflection of you. Honor your power, your Love that flows freely to you from Your Inner Being, KNOW that you are a Divine Expression of Source Energy!

I love you.

Thank you.

Get Better Business Results

Dear Beautiful Co-Creators,

Today I have my own resistance in the form of a summer cold. So, this is going to be ever so brief. If you want me to expand on this just let me know!

Here is some advice I gave a special client of mine. I have two ways of working with people; I do one of individual sessions and I also work with people on a one, two or three month basis (this is my favorite way to work) where they have 1 session a week with access to daily email support. This is a great way for them to keep their energy and vibration up in between sessions and a great way for me to give them homework so that they are consistently raising their vibration as opposed to just maintaining it. It is by far my favorite way to work because I love the huge changes that my clients can make and how deeply they connect, feel good and have success in their businesses!

Here’s an excerpt from an email I sent today:

“OK we need to really talk about the things you need to do BEFORE you call your clients so you aren’t spinning your wheels and getting people that are in meetings or on another call. In the morning when you get up do the Ho’oponopono and grounding. Use the grounding meditation from my website and stay in that totally relaxed state. Then see yourself going through your day in complete alignment with everything and everyone. See new opportunities opening up for you. See yourself getting the best results imaginable. Feel how good it feels to flow through your day with everything unfolding nicely.

Stay in that place relishing those visions and feelings for as long as you like and focus on any specific things that you might want to feel extra confident and secure about!

Because this is a new way of doing things you might get it working perfectly the very first time or it may take a day or two. You have to power and now you have the tool for you to create your perfect day. Use this for everything, including your personal life.

Know that you are loved!

Tell me how this works for you!”

The Perfect Marriage

Hello Beautiful Co-Creator,

Today I got a message from a Facebook friend about his upcoming marriage and how he’s been told that a marriage is a lot of work. I totally agree, but probably in a completely different way.

For me the work that is needed in marriage is for me to stay as connected to Source Energy as I possibly can. My job is to build my relationship with my Inner Being and Source Energy.

Why is that my job? Because if I’m not at my best and not feeling safe, loved or adored the first person that is going to hear about it is my husband. It is my belief that people want to be in a relationship with happy people. At least I can speak for Julian and I and say that what WE want is to be in a relationship with happy people. It just makes the relationship more fun and loving.

My relationship with Julian is always evolving. In the beginning I based more of my happiness on him and my relationship with him. That was in the Honeymoon period, the first one. As I continued to study and learn about spirit, the Laws of the Universe and Personal Development I learned how my happiness was truly based on me and my way of thinking.

Yesterday I worked with a client from Facebook and it was hard work. It was hard work because although she knew the Abraham teachings inside out and could quote them better than me she was basing her full happiness on having a lover. She was adamant that true happiness would only be hers when a man came into her life to rescue her. That just doesn’t fly in my book. But the funny thing is that I same into the same trap later that evening when speaking to Marketing Guru Russell. I did the whole woe is me and I bow to your knowledge. Fortunately Russell is not only a Marketing Genius but also a great friend and Abraham follower and he called me on my own crap.

Marriage is not about the other person making things right, neither is any other relationship. Marriage is an absolutely delicious experience when both people are whole and living their dreams knowing that they are responsible for their own happiness.

This week I have been amazed at how many people I’ve come into contact with that are gaging their value and worth by the happiness that their partners are experiencing. You are only responsible for your own happiness! You are most definitely responsible for your own happiness and problems arise when you make your spouse even partially responsible for your happiness.

The only way to truly be happy is to take the time and make the effort to connect with Source Energy.
Putting conditions on your marriage and spouse will only cause tension and strain. I felt so much freer once I learned that I am not responsible for how Julian feels. I will occasionally fall into the trap of feeling responsible, but mostly I leave him to sort out his own stuff. At times it may irritate him that I am being bright eyed bushy tailed bunny, but he gets over whatever it is a lot more quickly then he would if I doted on him trying to make things better.

We all have the choice to feel better when we feel bad. No one can take that choice from us and make us feel better. We are responsible!

Your value is based on how good you feel and how much you connect to who you really are. It really has nothing to do with whether your spouse is pleased or not with what you do or don’t do.

Find better feeling thoughts about the things you want to experience in life and know that you can create them yourself. You don’t need a lover, spouse or marketing guru to do it for you. You are able to live the life of your dreams.

You are gorgeous and I love you!

Thank you.

Forgiveness, How do I Forgive?

Last night I was doing my affirmations and I got to the one on forgiveness (Thank you Divine for the forgiveness that I’ve had and the forgiveness that I continue to experience.) and I started thinking about forgiveness and how much easier it is for me to forgive now. That got me to thinking HOW did I learn to Forgive?

I thought about how I had gotten irritated with Julian, my husband, in the kitchen during the evening, but I couldn’t remember what it had been about. I’ve been on my spiritual path for a very long time and the honest truth as to why I have is because I was one very unhappy person. I had anger that I had built up and nurtured for years. Frankly I had a lot to be angry about. In the not so distant past me getting upset with Julian could have escalated into a big blow out with me feeling unloved, unwanted and not good enough.

These were my childhood issues and the slightest thing not going the way I wanted would trigger them.

I’ve had years of training, courses, therapies and the most effective tools I have found have been NLP (this includes the Native American healing techniques that are in my opinion NLP), Ho’oponopono and the teachings of Abraham (brought to us by Jerry and Esther Hicks).

Abraham teaches to find better feeling thoughts. This is a concept that took me at least a year to master. It would probably take the average person a fraction of that time. It’s not that the concept is difficult or that I needed a book called ‘How To Find Better Feeling Thoughts For Dummies’, it’s just that I was more used to feeling a bad feeling thought and choosing a better feeling thought was not normal to me.

Abraham also teaches choosing to feel good rather than being right. I can totally understand how choosing to to be right played a huge role in me needing to forgive. It has been easier for me to say ‘oh that person did that thing I have every right to feel bad’. Also my natural state of being was that of feeling bad about something. Because the Law of Attraction works so well, I just kept getting opportunity after opportunity to feel bad.

On the last Abraham Cruise I went on I deeply connected with Jules, an amazingly loving and insightful man. He had been doing Ho’oponopono for over a year and I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. His wisdom and ability to soothe me was awesome and during one of our encounters he reminded me of the Abraham concept of how our perception and interpretation of something that has happened is what causes us pain, it’s not the actual event.

From Source’s perspective when Julian goes shopping and forgets the one item I really want it means I wasn’t aligned with it. How I feel about him forgetting is up to me. In the past it would have been common place for me to have it mean that on some level that I wasn’t good enough. I would tell myself that if I was good enough I would have the blueberries he forgot.

What I was dealing with from my past was much more severe in my mind than my husband forgetting something that I really wanted, but in the clarity of seeing things from a Source perspective I was able to revisit my past and change the meaning of the things that hurt me the most.

I was able to forgive people, places and things for there was nothing left to forgive. The thing about holding on to accusations is that you make yourself right and the other person wrong. Making someone wrong and at fault immediately gives them power over you and makes you the victim. You are in effect saying ‘That person has the power to hurt me any time they want’. Then every time you think of that ‘hurtful’ incident you are making the other person stronger again and making yourself weaker. It’s a really bad cycle to be in.

As difficult as it may be when things happen that you don’t like the best thing to do is to take a step back and ask yourself what where the kind of thoughts and feelings you were having that allowed that situation to take place. Taking that step puts you in control, it gives you your power back. It allows you to feel good about yourself.

Holding anger, pain or resentment towards someone or something perpetuates that incident and holds you in a place of not feeling good. It is giving your power to feel good away. Choose to feel good rather than be right. Remember that everything from Source perspective just ‘IS’, it’s neither good or bad. It just is. We are the ones that add value and meaning to what transpires in our life. Knowing this, go back and decide on a different meaning, a meaning that is either void of emotion or that makes you feel good.

Also remember that whatever happens in life, regardless of how you feel about it, you were guided there on your way to what’s waiting for you in your Vibrational Escrow!

You are beautiful and loved!

I love you.

Thank you.

Feeling High or Inner Knowing?

Dear Magnificent Expressions of Divine Love,

Today I got an email from a client that has been using the Ho’oponopono to connect with Source Energy but finding that she is crashing down from that great feeling when she runs into things like her boyfriend being stressed. I am including a portion of my response to her because this is something you can benefit from.

The other day I had a brief encounter with a co-creator that is doing very well, but is very much ungrounded. I attempted to impart the importance to being grounding but was hit with the other person’s belief that being in a place of happiness and anticipation was what being connected is all about. I disagree, this is how I know it to be:

Grounding allows you to flow the energy of Source through you but in a down to Earth way. It is easier for us to whip up our energy and connect to Source by taking our awareness There but when we let go of that energy we do come ‘crashing down’. There is too much contrast in what you are used to thinking and feeling and what you feel when you raise your energy to that of Source Energy.

Alas you have grounding to connect in a completely different way and to stop you from crashing down.
Grounding keeps your awareness in YOUR BODY, instead of in your thoughts and outside of you. It allows you to connect to Source Energy but in a way that pulls Source Energy down TO YOU, as opposed to you raising your awareness to meet up with it either in your head or above you!

So, you Ground, you do your Ho’oponopono, you keep grounded, you bring the Energy of Source down to you and when you meet up with your reality through a stressed out boyfriend you are grounded, how can you crash? You may let go of your connection to Source, but not as completely as you had before, because you are grounded. You built your connection on a strong foundation and the more you practice Grounding the stronger your foundation is.

Energetically the way I see you connecting at the moment is like skyscraper on really long stilts reaching up to the clean, fresh air. Little breezes create huge movement and it can be a bit like being on a carnival ride. Gusts of wind come along and knock you down and then you have to start the whole process of rebuilding all over again. This is frustrating and let’s face it, it can also be tiring!

Energetically when you Ground you are building a deep foundation and building upon that is a solid structure that every day is reinforced through your practice of grounding. You don’t build yourself up as high as a skyscraper, because you realized you can bring down that cool clean fresh air down to you. You can feel the breezes and the wind but they don’t rock you.

Al ot of people associate the buzzy ‘high’ feeling as being connected. And it is being connected. It definitely is being connected to Source Energy. And yes when you are feeling that you are lining up with the things you want. But you are also precariously balanced on stilts. You can have the same results and very similar sensations flowing THROUGH your entire body and experiencing a deep sense of knowing and connectedness when you Ground.

Both ways of being connected are so similar at times that it can be a challenge to judge whether you are grounded or on a high. If you are excited and in a place of expectation then you are on a high. IF you are in a place of complete knowing, acceptance, allowance and good where you are in the moment not looking forward to anything then you are Grounded.

My recommendation is that you practice grounding 4 times a day and whenever you feel you need it.

If you need any more clarity on this let me know.

I love you.

Thank you.

The Most Comforting Pillow

Here’s a story I was inspired to write earlier this year! I just had the inspiration to share it with you today!

The Most Comforting Pillow

This morning I woke up and was contemplating my Mother’s view on reality. A lesson that she is determined to teach me at all costs is that ‘bad’ people are out there. I’ve been studying spirituality for years and
I keep coming across the concept that there is no good or bad everything just ‘is’ or my favourite Buddhist concept which is everything is how you view it. Taking on the responsibility of how you view things can feel massive at first, but ultimately it is the way to true happiness.

So I am lying in bed on my feather mattress with my head on my feather pillow and I am thinking if there are ‘bad’ people in the world what percentage of people are ‘bad’. I’m going on an Abraham cruise in a couple of months and I thought I could ask Abraham. (www.abraham-hicks.com ) Now I am truly blessed with the ability to channel Source Energy myself. Credence is the name I was given for those who asked what to call that energy. There are times when I relax enough myself that the energy flows over and through me and answers my questions, this morning was just such a time.

I was shown an image of being in bed when I lived in Alabama and feeling a pricking feather. I just breathed and let the image unfold.

I used to have a problem with feathers poking me from my feather pillows. I preferred feather pillows as they have always represented luxury and comfort. I loved being able to mold them into the perfect shape. The only trouble was I kept getting poked.

I still remember the first time my pillow was anything but comfort. I felt a sharpness that even produced a tiny scratch. My mind reeled attempting to understand what had taken place. I thought perhaps a needle had found it’s way into my pillow or at the very least some sort of metal. It took me a while to find the intruding pain giver and then some time to worry it out a bit more.

I pulled on it gently until a soft fluffy feather was revealed. And I thought this can’t be right. I tried every which way to scratch myself with that feather to no avail. It seemed that once I had examined it and came to the conclusion that it was a fine specimen of soft feather I could no longer get it to act like a needle.

For a while I kept having the same experience with protruding feather quills that felt like needles until I pulled them out and found them to be soft and bendy little feathers. Then one day I thought about all the feathers that I was pulling out of my pillow. At the rate I was going I wouldn’t have a pillow any more. So every time I was poked or pricked I would take the time to push it back into the pillow and then I would move the feathers around so that it would get lost amongst all the others.
After a while there were no more incidents of pricking feathers and I only remembered that brief period of my life this morning.

The answer I received from Credence this morning is that I can notice one ‘bad’ feather in the crowd of all the good feathers and pluck it out and keep doing that with each naughty, painful or disruptive feather and end up with no comfort or I can blend it in with all the others and focus on the divine comfort of the whole and soon my focus, my reality will be on the benefits of my pillow and ultimately there will not be repeated incidents of irritating or painful quills that turn soft when you pull them out of their environment.

When you go out into the world and get irritated by someone or something remember that in a certain light if you were to examine that person or thing you would find that they are just a part of this Divine experience and their role is essential to the Universe.

You are loved more than you know. Today let that love flow over you and into you and to keep coming in gentle waves to ease your worries and bring you comfort and joy.
