I am amazed when I know what is going to happen the moment before it happens without realizing I knew it in the first place.
I am amazed at the peace and stability I feel after a yoga class, even when I walk into the studio feeling frayed and shaken.
I am amazed at the patience people in my life have with me.

I could just as easily use the word ‘humbled’ to replace the word ‘amazed’.
It is very humbling to realize that something that you didn’t think could exist reveals itself to you unexpectedly.
It is very humbling when people show kindness to you even when you don’t believe you deserve it.

Amazement occurs when the divine is reflected in the ordinary and your heart is touched with the hand that created it.
Amazement is experiencing the hidden magic of the moment that only purity can reveal.

What amazes you?

Some of you may know that many of the teachings that I offer you through this site come from a soul very dear to me. He was a man of great spiritual proportions (and as I write this, I hear him laughing that he was grand on the physical scale too!). He offered classes to those who were willing to make the effort to work on themselves. I attended one of these classes, and spent some time with him outside of the church meeting room, but mostly, my communion with him has been on an intuitive level. In any case, I have an email here, printed out in front of me, written by him to his students on what I can imagine was a beautiful evening on the 22nd of July 2002. One of his students had asked him to explain good and evil – why it exists and what the concepts are meant to teach us. I will copy below what he wrote, but before I do, I remind you to…

Treat these words as various dishes laid out on a buffet table. Pick and choose what looks and tastes good to you. It is for you to decide what food agrees with your digestive system. None of this is for your acceptance or rejection. None of us get brownie points for what we believe to be true; only for what we apply.

Dear family,

There is no good or evil except man’s mind makes it so. Meditation will help one overcome the dual expression of good, or evil. All is God!! If one believes this, then how can we believe in such a thing as evil? If we accept the concept of evil, then it must be of God also. My! What a paradox! For me, all there is, is God. The light that dwells in the center of every cell of our being is God. If one believes this to be true, then how can evil exist in anything? Light is all there is. Darkness can’t overcome Light. Light will always dispel darkness.

Why do we have such a need to live in the dual concept? Yes, we have many things that express in a dual nature, but they are an expression of God. Man is an expression of God walking on the face of the earth. Now, if one believes this to be true, then how can there be another expression of energy?

We must devotedly and passionately repeat this mantra to ourselves:

I am love and an expression of God walking on the face of the earth!
I am God, living with all that is my expression for the purpose of removing the need to express anything other than spirit in my life!

We should be repeating this several times a day, EVERY day. I know! Many of you are thinking, “How can I find time to memorize all that, and remember to say it every day?” Well, do it the same way you remember to take a breath. You plant the thought into your subconscious mind until it becomes another habit. Remember 21 days. We need to do what is necessary. You have been given all the tools needed, and you provide the God Power. Look for it, as it is burried deep within, and every day you put it off, it only goes deeper into your being. I know every one of you are capable of finding that power. You only need to want it bad enough. Do you?????

And so with that, let us meditate:

I have just shared in an experience that has left me humbled and confused. I have, just seconds ago, finished a self healing with the aid of Christine Day. I watched 3 video clips that she has made available on her website of a healing experience she facilitated at an event in Saint Paul, MN on November 18, 2008. The energy coming through the computer was undeniable. I partook in an experience that let me heal. I let myself heal. I am somehow different. Let me explain…

During the first clip, I listened. For the most part, I was trying to sense what sort of energy was building up through her. During the second clip, I began breathing along with the people who partook in the transmission of light on that 18th day of November. By the third clip, I was there, joining in, basking in a powerful, loving energy, that wanted me to heal.

I didn’t know what she meant by ‘letting go’ until I allowed myself to fully breath in this loving compassion. Because you see, when I breathed in this acceptance, the only thing left to breath out was the pain and lack of forgiveness I was holding within my cells. Breath after breath, I took in acceptance, and let go of rejection. As I got into this flow of self healing, my releasing took on the form of tears and sighs. I experienced waves of self-rejection followed by reassurance that it was finally ok to be me. I sensed a message – a sort of voice – that reassured me that it was now ok to be myself. It was time to stop hiding my truth in fear of judgment. I recalled moments in my early childhood when I instinctively knew to hide my true self because those around me would not understand. As I released this self-rejection, I breathed in compassion for myself.

During the end of the third clip, after what I now sense was a multi-dimensional release of dense energy, the back bottom right of my head began to throb. The whole right side of the back of my head was aching as I was writing this message, but now it seems to have stopped.

This was my experience. I feel like the child within me, a strong yet timid presence full of curiosity coupled with fear to express herself, has been comforted through this experience. I felt as if I was holding her within my arms in a loving and supportive embrace. She has been left with the message that it is ok to truly start healing and growing now. Peaking up above the top of the high wall isn’t as scary anymore. I wonder what there is to see beyond the barriers…

If you would like to watch these three clips, here they are:

The Intention Meditation is a wonderful guided meditation from Deepra Chopra’s website. It speaks of Inner Power – that it is available to us whenever we remember about it, and that all we have to do is quiet our external self and listen to the internal wisdom of the inner Self. Gratitude is also a great focus of this meditation. We are gently reminded that we have a choice – do we hold onto grievances, or do we choose to let them free?

Power of Intention – focusing our attention…and our intention.

The meditation is about 15 minutes long, and includes a few minutes of introduction. The gentle chimes/gongs are phenomenally clearing, cleansing and tuning. One of the great pleasures I get from this meditation is experiencing the vibrations that emanate out of my computer when it plays! Even if you don’t want to go into a deep trance and dedicate yourself to a full on meditation session, I find it a beautiful experience in and of itself to simply listen…

At a certain point, you are asked to repeat your personal mantra. If you don’t have one that comes to mind, you can simply repeat Om (Aum) to yourself, or if you’d like, you can try the one that I’ve been using – Om Namah Shivaya pronounced Aum Num-ha Shi-why or Aum Num-ha Shi-vaya.

May Peace Flow Through You
