Play Pause

Yesterday in our Living A Course in Miracles class, Rhonda Britten gave us such clear insight in how to transform the habits of fear into the habits of love.

One of the techniques she gave us was to be gentle with ourselves. She pointed out that being gentle can seem crazy, or pointless or ridiculous – none the less, it’s deeply healing. I know this to be true, because I discovered the very same thing for myself.

I learned to call myself “Darling” and “Sweetheart” when I was turning my mind from thoughts of lack and limitation, separation and judgment.

I learned to speak to myself with kindness and compassion.

I learned to speak to myself as I would speak to someone I loved.

Through this simple practice of gentleness I learned to BE loving.

When we start from a place of deep fear and intense shame and unworthiness, healing can seem impossible, but it’s not. Healing is a living happening thing that is never impossible as long as you are willing.

Your willingness heals the world.

Affirmation:

I AM willing to be gentle with myself.

Fear or Love?

Today I’m talking with Rhonda Britten as we begin the 8 week, 16 class series, Living A Course in Miracles together. [You can register for all 8 weeks - my gift to you - no charge: http://livingacourseinmiracles.com/].

Yesterday we were prepping for our class and I can tell you that I feel so blessed. Rhonda is an exceptional person, who has walked a difficult and amazing journey of love. She’s written four best selling books, won an emmy for her work on television and inspired millions of people all over the world.

Rhonda is surely an inspiration to me. If you don’t know her life story then you’ll be glad to tune in today. I’m so inspired! Choosing love gets easier every day for me, but it has been excruciatingly difficult at times. There have been times when it was SO difficult to choose to be loving to the ones I loved most in the world! How crazy is that? And yet, so many of us have been there.

Living the love isn’t easy, but it does get SO MUCH easier. Doing this work of healing together makes it easier and it also makes it more joyful!

Every time I can feel that I am choosing love where I might have chosen fear in the past is a huge victory to me. Today I celebrate love with you, my dear prayer partner!

Thank you for choosing love with me! I love you!

Affirmation:

I choose love and love chooses me!

Transforming Fear

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Learning!:

One of my favorite quotes from A Course in Miracles is “You may still complain about fear, but you nevertheless persist in making yourself fearful.”

As much as we might prefer to blame others for how we feel, it’s never going to be true. When we can take responsibility for the thoughts that we think we’ve made a huge step in the direction of spiritual maturity. For me, one of the most powerful realizations I’ve had on this path of unfolding love is that my willingness to be responsible for what I choose to think is actually going to be a benefit to me.

I’ve learned that being responsible is an act of self-love. It’s natural for us all to make mis-takes. I make them every day and I also learn from them every day. I used to be terrified to make mis-takes, but since I’ve learned to be loving with myself I’m not afraid to make mis-takes anymore.

Some mis-takes are missed opportunities.
Some are tactical errors.
Some are oversights.

No matter what, I’m always learning – and I’m always learning to forgive. Forgiveness is an act of Love and being able to forgive easily makes me a more loving person. Wonderful!

Affirmation:

I AM a learner and I love it!

Onward and Upward!

One of the things that is so wonderful about a spiritual journey is the consistent sense of unfoldment. If you are feeling stagnant in your spiritual journey it’s likely that you’ve been avoiding the deeper practice that has been calling you.

It’s so easy to satisfy the ego’s seeking for spiritual superiority through the intellectual acquisition of information. However, that does not lead to much spiritual deepening – although it can be part of the process of elimination on the way to illumination. It’s very valuable to eliminate the idea that getting it “right” or being a “spiritual smarty pants” is somehow worth investing in.

The most spiritually awakened and evolved beings make themselves known by how compassionate, generous and kind they are – it’s never about what information they have. It’s about how clear they are that YOU are worth loving.

The path of spiritual awakening requires direct connection with the Divine through your spiritual practice. There’s no substitute for that. Recognizing that we are all part of the Divine and connecting with each other in Love is part of the spiritual practice. This brings growth and healing.

When we can realize that the thing that is the most valuable is our connection with God in all things then we really are living the good life!

Affirmation:

God is all there is and all that I AM.

Forgiveness Letter

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Forgiveness!:

Forgiveness Letter

One of the most fundamental tools we have to quickly change our life is forgiveness. I’ve been teaching forgiveness workshops and classes since 2000. Over and over again, I’ve witnessed people quickly and easily create miracles in their life using forgiveness. One of the things I love to share is what I call the Forgiveness Letter. You can benefit greatly by using this tool to clear away unresolved emotion and upset from the past that is draining your precious energy right now. It’s simple and it works! Your spiritual expansion and mastery work focuses on two major components:

clearing that which obstructs your pristine awareness of your divinity
consciously connecting with your divinity

I strongly encourage you to consider doing this FORGIVENESS LETTER as a release SOON! It’s very powerful. Many have had extraordinary and miraculous results, including me!

Begin by creating an environment – set the tone for yourself and allow for time without interruptions. Plan for 45 minutes or so. Here’s what you write – write it longhand – don’t do this at the computer.

Next, write out your intention clearly – example:

“My intention in writing this letter is to … “
release any resentment or regret and be free of the past
release any anger or hurt so that I may move forward in peace and freedom

You can write the letter to yourself or anyone else that you’re holding something against. Most people benefit greatly if they start with self-forgiveness

Then write at least a paragraph on each of the 12 following:

I feel angry that …
I feel afraid that …
I feel hurt that …
I feel sad that …
I accept … (what happened)
I accept … (what is now)
The deep desire of my heart now is …
What I’m doing to support myself now is …
What I am asking you/myself for now is …
What I’m asking for help with from you/my self/the Universe now is …
I’m grateful that …
My loving and powerful intention going forward is …

I recommend writing separate letters to forgive yourself and to forgive others. Do not try to rush through this or do it all at once. If you truly want to free yourself make a plan to write these letters often and clear the unresolved feelings from the past so that you can be free now!

This is one of the most energizing things I know of to do. It’s amazing how miraculously it works. Remember, that your mind is one with the Divine Mind and your doing your healing work brings benefit to everyone because you’re one with them! This tool is profoundly healing. Using it creates a breakthrough that usually brings spontaneous physical, mental, emotional and financial healing. It really works! If you’re tired of suffering and feeling blocked, try it and see!

If you like, there are many prayers and other things to support you at my website. Please take a look around!

Partner UP! Let Spirit do the heavy lifting of healing, and be willing.

Mother’s Day Makeover

Administrator Jennie — Sun, 13 May 2012 08:00:25 +0000

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Divine Love!:

This past week on my radio show (click here to download free from iTunes) I shared about some experiences of healing I had with my Mom before she made her transition.

One great learning I experienced was a time when my Mom was really challenged and I was inconsiderate of her. I was wrapped up in my own grief and upset over her illness and I actually was unkind to her. It was a great learning for me because I realized that I’d missed an opportunity to be loving with her. Since my Mom was not going to be with us that much longer, I was aware that the moments I had with her were precious and I’d blown it.

Because of my commitment to forgiveness I was able to forgive myself and harvest the learning. In my harvest I made the commitment to seize every opportunity to be loving and not let anymore pass me by. It was a truly life-changing moment for me and I’m grateful. So grateful.

One thing that my relationship experiences have taught me is that if I’d like my relationships to be different then I must be the one to change. Just because my parents are older than me it doesn’t mean that they have to lead the way anymore. Whenever there’s an opportunity for me to be loving and forgive, I’d like to seize it. In this way, I have transformed all of my relationships and I’m grateful. So grateful.

No matter what the circumstances of your relationship with your Mom, whether she’s here or not here, there or not there, Love knows no boundaries and no limits. Love IS the only healer there is. Love on! Love onward and Love upward! Today’s the day!

Affirmation:

I love to love.

Transforming Terrorism

Administrator Jennie — Sat, 12 May 2012 08:00:00 +0000

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Extending Peace!:

One of the most challenging things for spiritual students to grasp is the idea that they’re not upset for the reason they think they are. For instance, if you’re upset because you’re loved ones aren’t behaving the way you think they should behave you’ll always be incorrect. We’ve been trained to blame our upset on others, but that doesn’t make it right. Blaming other is the habit of someone who fears taking responsibility for their choices.

If you’re willing to look beyond the surface of your distress, you might discover that you’re actually upset because although you pretend to be committed to be unconditionially loving, you’ve given yourself permission to judge your loved ones whenever you feel like it.

Look a little bit deeper and you’ll discover that those judgments you’re holding against your loved ones – your opinions of what they should and shouldn’t be doing – are, by nature, thoughts of attack, with a violent energetic. There’s a huge gap between being unconditionally loving and giving yourself permission to mentally attack whenever you feel like it. And deep down you know it. It’s blatant hypocrisy. And THAT is the actual cause of your upset.

Deep down, you’re upset because you’ve given yourself permission to be unkind, unloving and unjust. On a spiritual level, it’s a profound betrayal of self. It’s also a form of terrorism. And you can pretend no one is noticing, but there’s only ONE MIND, so there’s no where to hide. And you know it.

What is the cure? Forgiveness. Forgive yourself and be willing to replace the habit of judging with a commitment to compassion. Compassion is Love and Love is the healer. Heal the inner terrorist and you heal terrorism in the world for All is One. Be grateful you are response-ABLE and exercise your ability to respond with Love!

Affirmation:

I AM able to respond with Love. I walk the talk and live the Love!

Response Able for Love!

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Being Response Able!:

Have you ever got hung up in your mind by thinking that other people are the cause of your frustration and distress? I have! It’s very tempting.

At least, it was very tempting to me until I realized that the only way I could have true peace was to take responsibility for my choices, my actions, my thoughts and words.

I used to make choices that were way out of integrity and then feel guilty and ashamed and then blame others for my upset. Crazy! I justified all of it and then had a righteous indignation. I was upset because I thought others had done something TO me.

The more awake I become, I realize that I am One with all. There is no other. There is just the One. It’s time for me to take responsibility.

In responsibility and accountability I have found a power tool. It is my liberator! I’m so grateful I am response-able. I have a response-ability and I make the most of it!

Affirmation:

I am response-able for choosing Love!

Blessings Abound!

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Counting Our Blessings!:

It’s true. Sometimes in life it’s easy to get snared by thoughts of lack and limitation. Sometimes if you go down that road just a little bit, before you know it you’re in quicksand up to your belly. It’s no fun.

One great thing to be aware of is that gratitude really is the vibration that multiplies the good. When I first discovered this I started making a new habit of counting my blessings. I can remember driving around in Los Angeles traffic and counting my blessings with tears running down my face. I was so grateful that I could change my tune!

When you really start to count your blessings there’s a lot to be thankful for. Gratitude multiplies the good. Complaining makes you a crap magnet. You choose your experience.

If you’d like to be a magnet for good – be grateful for what you have!

Affirmation:

I AM grateful for the good in my life! Thank you, God!

Wanting isn’t Having

Administrator Jennie — Wed, 09 May 2012 08:00:58 +0000

Click here to listen to the Prayer for Today – Satisfaction!:

One of the most helpful realizations I’ve had is that if I’m “wanting” then I’m affirming that I don’t have and it simply intensifies the craving and wanting and creates more of a sense of lack.

In a world where so many people believe that it is the STUFF of this world that makes for a good life, it’s easy to fall into an endless craving and wanting.

And yet, along the way, I’ve met so many people who have all of the STUFF that people think they want. Those that have the stuff discover that having the stuff is actually not satisfying. The stuff is instead a big distraction.

Love satisfies.
Spirit satisfies.

Your connection with God – being clear, pure and pristine – this is the only satisfaction that is possible for more than a fleeting moment.

Why settle for anything less when you don’t have to. It’s up to you!

Affirmation:

I AM willing to BE the love of my life!
