Spiritual Guide | Inspirational Speaker | Lorraine Cohen

Do you have difficulty knowing whether you are following inner guidance and living from your ego mind?

The experiences your mind creates are often filled with fear and struggle. The soul voice has a unique energy filled with wisdom and peace to guide you through life with Grace and ease.

Being able to distinguish your soul voice from your mind voice is a critical key to living from spirit and creating your best life!

Living from Higher guidance will create a life of grace and abundance.

Join me August 6 at 1pm EST for the next edition of my monthly heart healing calls:

The topic is Intuition: Living From Higher Guidance

As always there will be a brief guided meditation, some relevant content, an energy transformation process and end with a blessing of Divine Love and Grace.

As I sit here on my laptop working because my primary computer has become infected with a malicious virus, I am reminded of a wonderful phrase that my mother often repeated to me in times of hardship, disappointment and struggle: “This Too Shall Pass”.

While many assume that it is Biblical in origin, it doesn’t ever actually appear in the scriptures. It is instead a proverb that has brought comfort to people for hundreds-if not thousands-of years.

When we are mired in the frustrations, aggravations and tribulations of life, it is easy to think that we may never find our way out. It feels oppressive and restrictive-often overwhelming. In those moments of despair, it’s almost as if the light cannot break through. You might feel so alone or alienated that you don’t have the strength to go forward.

That is the time to remember these comforting words: “This Too Shall Pass”. Just remind yourself that what you are experiencing this very moment is not a permanent state. That whatever you feel or experience now, is ONLY TEMPORARY. It will change! Because everything changes. Time moves on. Everything is a permanent state of evolution. Each moment holds the promise of new possibilities.

Whatever it is that is plaguing you right now will evolve. It may clear up by itself. You may find an answer through your own effort or even divine request. Someone else may intervene. New information may become available. People who can assist will come forth. Something new may come to light. And sometimes, time just heals all. Oftentimes surrendering the problem to the Universe opens the window to solution.

The important essence to hold onto is that LIFE WILL GET BETTER FROM HERE! By telling yourself-or comforting someone else with This Too Shall Pass-it creates the space or the light for upliftment. It opens the door for HOPE and RELIEF.

Once you recognize that not all is lost, you can open your mind and heart for solutions, or to simply breathe in positive energy, energy that will open pathways for resolution. And sometimes, there is no resolution. You just need to allow yourself to feel better to attract something new and better into your life. To let go of the pain and suffering…to create an opening for lightness, for joy.

I, too, have felt the heaviness of loss, or of the misery of misspoken hurtful words that ended a friendship-or a mistake that cost me dearly. But I remember my mother’s wisdom and realize that tomorrow will be a better day, and the day after, even better.

This Too Shall Pass are four magic words that portend renewal, rebirth and relief.

Use them when:

• You are simply depressed

• When you are in pain over a relationship

• When you have lost a loved one

• When you feel you have unintentionally offended someone and they won’t allow you to make it right

• When you have made a grievous error

• When circumstances are pressing on you

• When you are facing deep financial challenges

• When someone has hurt your feelings

• When you are not forgiving yourself

• When you allow yourself to feel “less than”-inadequate in any way

• When you are struggling with illness or physical pain

• When your work situation is unpleasant or not rewarding

• When you simply feel beaten down by life

Remember that you are in a temporary state and the next moment has the seeds of potential for joy, happiness, abundance, resolution, clear skies and comfort.

“You are allowed to be scared. Fear doesn’t come up because you did something wrong, you’re doomed, or you look funny. Fear comes up because you’re not seeing some gorgeous, valuable and much-needed jewel right where you’re standing, and it will absolutely not let you go out that door without it.” - Mark Silver

I’ve been dancing with fear all my life. For example, when I was in my 30’s I overcame fear of public speaking to become a sought after speaker and I moved to a new state with little money and no steady income to build a coaching/spiritual guidance/therapy practice that is approaching its 28th year. Was it scary? Hell yeah.

How did I deal with my fears and doubts? At the time I used what most people were working with: affirmations, creative visualization, focusing on being in the present, breathing, hypnosis, emotionally eating….techniques geared to interrupt the mental messages, body sensations, and change beliefs and “get rid” of the fear feelings.

The focus was all about stopping and getting rid of unwanted fears and feelings.

In the late 1990’s my life fell apart for the second time.  After buying a new home, a new car, doing some home renovations, my therapy practice suddenly began to steadily decline. Money fears created a panic and I found the usual mind control techniques failed to provide any long term relief. I had periods of feeling terrified, helpless, angry, desperate, and sad. At other times I saw something miraculous happening that would change my life if I just stayed strong and trusting to walk the distance through the darkness into the Light.

What was missing?

I began to understand the missing pieces.  I realized that facing fear is not about overcoming it, it is about walking through it. I began looking at fear in a new light…

Instead, imagine seeing fear as an ally to:

• Keep you out of harm’s way by alerting you to danger

• Help you to discern when you need to set healthy boundaries to be safe and protected

• Support you in developing courage to show up to LIFE

• Build faith in yourself, others, and God

• Provide motivational and inspirational energy to break through perceived limitations and illusions to stand in your greatness.

• Show you when the “little you” inside needs attention and comfort; to feel love, care, and protection

• Empower you to find your voice in your relationships, your business and in the message you wish to share with the world.

• And most importantly, show you when you have disconnected from the Divine within you, the True Source of your Power.

Trying to get “rid of fear” is a mind game you can’t win.

As long as you see your fears as an enemy to defeat, you will continue to wage war against yourself.

To transform fear you must walk through it… to see the illusions and reclaim your Power.

The darkness or challenge is a pathway to the Light. You can get stuck in the story of a perceived problem. When you look for the deeper meaning of each experience that challenges you, you will always find healing, learning and growth opportunities.

Debbie Ford once wrote:

“Love the fears that you hold in your hand more than anything you have ever loved before.

Think about all the hours you have spent trying to deny, avoid, and get rid of these fears, and thank them for showing you your human limitations

Thank your fear for sending you out to look for ways to get rid of it. Look at how you have grown, healed and evolved in your search! Think of all you’ve discovered during your search! 

Thank your fear for bringing you into a journey of self-discovery to find your True Self and reunite with The Divine

Thank your fear for guiding you to see illusions created by your mind and being the catalyst for inspiration and motivation to take steps in faith, trust, and courage.

Thank your fear for helping you to reach out and connect with others, for your fear is probably what brought you to read this post!

Thank your soul for bringing fear into your life as a pathway to find your way back home to God – this presence within you that loves you dearly– this energy that always triumphs fear.

Love your fears as you would anything you cherish- bless them, honor them, and use them as the sacred reminders that they are…lighting the way back to the wholeness of your Sacred Self and into the loving embrace of the Divine.”

Beautiful wisdom….

You are living at an auspicious time in history, waking up to see life through a new set of eyes in this Era of Enlightenment.  Fear will continue to be a part of your life experience as you grow and evolve. A critical key to dance in this new energy is to learn how to live in the present moment, embracing each experience without resistance and allowing your feelings to be fully felt without trying to control, manage, move, and direct their elimination.

Any attempt you do to try to control your experience will create more resistance and suffering.

Imagine a fire burning and your resistance is like continuing to throw logs on the fire to keep it going.

Feel your fears (and every emotion) without focusing on the mental story your mind/ego is creating.

Experience your emotions as the energy they are and breathe into them, doing NOTHING. Just feel, breathe and notice… body sensations, thoughts swirling…whatever…..let your emotions play out….

Without resistance and actively engaging your efforts to get rid of or stop what you don’t want to feel, the emotions will begin to burn out and fall apart leading to transformation. Peace and Grace will rush in when you stop fighting.

I always make a connection with the Divine; to feel the Presence within me to help me stay strong and present as I walk through my pain which is part of the Grace Release Process I use and teach my clients to master.

In fact, the most powerfull partner to help you change your relationship with fear and have an extraordinary life is God/Higher Power/Jesus/The Divine/Inner Presence….

Final note: In the last five years I have faced a third period of my life falling apart; almost losing my home, financial debt, business decline, breast cancer diagnosis (I am quite well) and many dark moments of pain, I have never felt stronger, more alive or richer. What has helped me is my community, my faith and trust, my inner guidance, most of all, God. Fear no longer dominates my life. Joy, peace, abundance, gratitude, love……does.

Embrace your fears with love instead of judging them and doing battle. Your life will change….

Would you like to know how to turn fear into an ally to live your most vital, abundant, soul fulfilling life with the POWER of Grace to guide you?

How forgiving are you towards yourself?

Do you speak to yourself as you would with someone you love?

Do you treat yourself lovingly or harshly when you do things you don’t like?

Unforgiveness affects every area of life - self-love, money, relationships, health and well-being which is why the next heart healing monthly call will be the first in a series of sessions on Forgiveness beginning with Self-Forgiveness of May 14.

Self-forgiveness is a gift of Love.

Without self- forgiveness you cannot love yourself and allow goodness to flow abundantly into your life and move forward.

Without self-love, you cannot truly forgive and love others.

Without forgiveness there is no closure or inner peace to freely move forward. And as life is all about relationships, with yourself, others, and the Divine, there will be continual experiences to forgive so that you can love again.

Unforgiveness affects every area of life - self-love, money, relationships, health and well-being which is why the next heart healing monthly call will be the first in a series of sessions on Forgiveness beginning with Self-Forgiveness of May 14.

>> Self-Forgiveness Healing Healing TeleCall <<

If you feel an emotional charge thinking about anyone or anything that has happened in the past or is happening now, you probably have some forgiveness healing to do. When I hear people say they are stuck in patterns of self-sabotage, I always find unforgiveness and deep grief.

I continue to see and experience the healing power of Love when we offer the gift of forgiveness to ourselves and others. When you have truly forgiven, all emotional charges are gone. What you feel is peace, acceptance, and love….

Only you know what you are still holding onto….

Is this a call you are meant to attend?

If you heart says YES! Don’t miss this special call tomorrow, Wednesday May 14.

>> Self-Forgiveness Healing Healing TeleCall <<

Experience a special high vibration energy activation to release emotional pain you may be holding against yourself that is ready to be healed.

You’ll receive the call details and link to download the recording.

Expect a very powerfull heart liberating experience of Love.

Love and blessings,

Lorraine

AND…If you missed reading my candid article, “How Forgiveness Helped Me Transform Cancer Twice“, click here

As many of you know, in 2012 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Last year I shared my healing journey. If you missed hearing that special call, click here to sign up and access the recording.

I talked about how my cancer experience was a blessing without fear and worry; a shining Light rich with insights and invitations to do some deeper healing work to liberate me from decades of repressed feelings guilt, anger, grief, helplessness, abandonment…. especially towards myself.

I realized I had forgiveness and self-love heart healing work to do that related to my mother’s life and death from leukemia at age 66.

And, from my research I discovered that symptoms can come and go and that making deliberate lifestyle changes can dramatically fortify the body’s immune system and healing abilities to restore health.

So, I chose to have a lumpectomy and was guided by my body’s intelligence and my education about cancer to decline the recommended traditional aftercare protocols including chemo and radiation.

Using acupuncture, massage, exercise, nutritional changes, combined with deep emotional healing I facilitated and experienced with my team of gifted healers, coaches and health practitioners, support from friends and the Divine, I walked through the experience with Love and Grace in health.

From the many responses I received from folks, I know that my decisions seemed bold and unconventional, even risky. I refused to make choices from fear or to give my power away just because that’s the standard protocol.

Actually cancer treatment has progressed very far and unless you do your due diligence you can miss out on knowing the latest advances and options.

Last year I had my annual mammogram and a teeny amount of cancer cells showed up about an inch from the first lumpectomy incision. It was a surprise because I felt I had released so much pain initially and now another layer was surfacing.

This is why I coach people to let go of, “I thought I was done with this!” and stay open to embrace anything else that emerges on a deeper level.

Because I had refused the traditional cancer regime my surgeon asked me to keep an open mind in considering my next steps.

1. Mastectomy

2. Chemo and radiation

3. A second lumpectomy

4. Do nothing

So, taking a breath and stepping back into gratitude, I was shown that I was still holding onto guilt and anger towards myself.

I was guided to suspend taking any medical actions or further testing for three months while I focused on my inner healing with all of my gifts and resources.

Standing in faith and trust with a medical diagnosis like cancer and not doing what “you are supposed to do.” was very uncomfortable. I vacillated between peace and trust in what I was doing and feeling irresponsible for my health. The idea of getting cut again was upsetting.

So, I requested a follow-up mammogram to see if anything had changed and I was open to go through with a second surgery if needed.

Guess what happened?

The cancer cells they saw three months earlier were gone. A six month follow-up was recommended.

On April 18 2014 one week before my birthday, I received a clean mammogram report.  I recall anxiously sitting in the waiting room for the radiology result and the wave of joy and gratitude when she handed me the report and said,  “See you in a year”. I thanked and praised God all the way home after a quick stop at Trader Joe’s

Had I not followed my heart, I would have had an unnecessary surgery and maybe worse…..

For me it was proof that symptoms can come and go. When you remove stress and pain, the body can heal it itself.

This was NOT a negative experience for me and I don’t see myself as a cancer survivor because I never identified with the diagnosis. I created an experience that provided a blessed opportunity to reveal pain that was ready to be healed and released.

It is time to change the consciousness around cancer and dis-ease.

I celebrate this victory for my body and my heart without having to do battle. I KNOW that the inner healing I did with forgiveness, self-forgiveness and self-love played a pivotal role in my ability to heal.

I also feel that with the energy shifts happening on the planet affecting us body, mind and spirit, we must make thoughtful decisions that will support physical alignment and energetic harmony.

‘Dis-ease is a wake-up call to look at yourself; at changes you are being called to make including ones that you might be resisting, old repressed pain that needs to be seen, felt and released, or something deeply buried that is surfacing for healing.

In any situation, you must make choices that feel right for you and that resonate with your beliefs and Truth even when it goes against the norm. If you believe that you have the ability to heal, then you will. If you believe that you need medical intervention to heal, then that is true for you.

Cancer and it’s recovery process wreaks havoc on the body and emotionally. What courage it takes to go through this regime! My heart goes out to all who choose this route and the toll it takes emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

Every experience is uniquely individual and each person must make the choices that are right for them.

I have had rapid healings before and have always included alternative therapies in my life experiences. Miracles are a part of my life and I continue to be delighted by the many forms they take!

I’m gratefull for the doctors and hospital staff who are part of my team to support me at being my best. I believe there is a time and valid need for their professional expertise and healing environments.

As a society we have become dependent on using medication or scheduling surgeries to suppress and repress what we want to get rid of. We react in fear, give our power away to others we think are wiser than we are and often make decisions we regret

Quick fixes are band-aids. Looking for the next technique to get rid of something you don’t want to deal with or only working with symptoms instead of being willing and courageous to look deeper at the cause and message our heart and body is trying to communicate will bring temporary relief rather than a permanent release.

I believe that the inner healing work is a critical key to freedom from pain and suffering. Being fully alive means FEELING.

You are an energy being. Thought, words, and emotions carry energy that creates. If you are not allowing the energy to flow freely from you and through you, and stuffing feelings down in your body, the energy building up over time will create stress of the immune system and compromise health, well-being, and happiness…

What you do not release will create something within you and in your world. Dis-ease…..

Life is a reflection of what is happening within you. Whether facing a health, financial, relationship challenge or one with yourself, you must have the willingness and courage to dig deep and release whatever pain is locked within you that is ready to be healed.

And for goodness sake, do not do this work alone. You will likely get in your own way! Having a community of support can mean the different between struggling and suffering and walking in love and Grace.

Without forgiveness life is governed by an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation. - Roberto Assagioli

So often people think they have forgiven themselves and others but they really haven’t.

Without true forgiveness we can’t let go and move on. We end up dragging around unresolved hurts and disappointments in our heart,  on our bodies, and that haunt our thoughts.

There is no resolution because there is no peace. And because relationships are the cornerstone of our life experiences, we are continually given experiences that break our hearts open for deeper compassion and love.

If you struggle with forgiveness, here are a few reasons why:

You have an attachment to what happened.

You are still struggling with accepting what you did or didn’t do, what another did or what others continue to do.

Your struggle and resistance creates your misery which is a choice and an opportunity to forgive yourself!

Whenever you have a strong negative reaction to another is an opportunity to look at what you are dis-owning within yourself that is showing up to be loved and accepted – a quality, a behavior, an action to be forgiven.

We are mirrors for each other and as long as we have someone or something to blame for our life circumstances, we never have to take responsibility for our role in what we create from our past and our present.

I believe that whenever we find ourselves battling a challenge or hitting up against obstacles, it is usually an indication that we have some forgiveness to do.

Harboring resentments, regrets, anger, disappointments, and grudges affect EVERY area of life. And no matter how much forgiving you think you have done, the person who is in most need of forgiveness, ALWAYS, is YOU.

From my 7 week journey into forgiveness, ask yourself:

1. Is there anyone or anything anyone I am ready to forgive? (including ME?)

2. Is this anyone or anything I cannot forgive?

3. If so, what needs to happen for peace and healing to occur?

4. How is holding onto resentments, grudges, and unforgiveness affecting my life?

5. How can I be more of an expression of gratitude and love?

Forgiveness does not happen in the head. It must be felt in the heart.

To allow Grace and love in, you must surrender your attachments, your resistance to accepting whatever is happening in each moment, your expectations, and your control; to be compassionate with your own humanness and be open to allow The Divine to guide your life experiences.

This is the shift we are experiencing on the planet today!

If you resonate with what I have written and want to feel more peace and love within yourself as well as experience greater abundance in your life, join me on April 9, for Pathways to Awakening, Journey Through Forgiveness. Take advantage of an early tuition that expires on April 3.

This four-week liberating journey through forgiveness is an advanced program designed to support you in healing the past, get free from beating yourself up and sabotaging your efforts, and deepening your connection with God.

In seven weeks you will have multiple opportunities to unlock the doors to have more financial abundance, rewarding relationships, vibrant health, meaningful work, passion, more love, the freedom to be authentically you ….and so much more with the Divine guiding this journey.

The only thing you have to lose is your pain. What you have to gain is…well…limitless.

“In the stillness and quiet you will hear the wisdom of your soul. All of the answers you seek are within you. “~ Lorraine Cohen

A few years ago I made a commitment to live my life by inviting my soul/spirit/The Divine /my Higher Self to be the guiding force in my life rather than my mind or ego. I have always had a strong intuition and I felt weary from all the drama I was creating!

I believe the living from spirit is the new way of being in this time of profound change and spiritual Enlightenment.

Not so simple though. It’s like being a stranger in a strange land and learning a new language. And when you are used to relying on your ego and mind to navigate your day, making the switch to live from the inside out takes practice and awareness!

I am often asked how to distinguish the voice of the ego from the voice of the soul’s heart especially when making decisions.

Here are a few things to consider:

The voice of your ego creates tension and constriction in your body and focuses on problems and impossibilities. It usually focuses on the downside of life and cannot dream bigger than it’s ability to imagine.

When the voice of your soul speaks, there is a feeling of expansiveness and peace in the body.  You might have a sense excitement even if there is some fear. I find that voice is encouraging, uplifting and confident that all will be well. Your soul sees limitless possibilities.

Here are seven ways your heart guides you:

1. Resonance – when something feels right in your body and in your heart. Pay attention to your body’s intelligent communication. It never lies.

2. Reoccurring thoughts, symbols, messages, and dreams. This one I notice most often as a sign for me to take action.

3. Negative vibes – you feel something is “off” and is moving you to back away. Staying present and connected to your body is a key to receiving your soul’s guidance.

4. Inner knowing – you just know and trust without needing any further information or evidence.

5. Synchronicities, meaningfull  and delightfull coincidences. I call those God winks.

6. Longing - We experience both human and soul longings as a strong, persistent deep desire, yearning, hunger, thirst, aching or craving for something that feels missing from our life that can feel unattainable or distant.

7. Divine messengers - folks who deliver the messages at just the right time. You might hear, read, or see something that is exactly what you need. You might receive or experience something that is an answer to a prayer. That happens to me a lot!

You might find an answer comes to a question you have in your mind before you finish your thought because the Presence inside already knows your needs and wants.

Sometimes the guidance is so subtle you can miss it so don’t get attached to thinking that your soul voice is always the same. Use these as guidelines to discover how your wise self communicates with you and pay attention to those nudges and hunches.

And if you miss the guidance, take comfort in knowing that your soul will lovingly keep nudging you to get your attention. I’ve had a few two-by-fours!

We can get lost inside of the roles we play and lose sight of the truth that we are more than what we do; that we have a depth of heart and spirit that, once revealed, can be a powerfull creative force in our lives.

The Essence of who you are is NOT your body, your thoughts, your feelings, your actions or your life circumstances. Your soul expresses itself through your ego, mind, feelings, and actions – through your humanity. With practice you get better at knowing “who” is talking so that you begin leading with your soul and partnering your mind to make informed, grounded, and realistic choices that support your dreams.

All aspects of your personality and Spirit serve you to co-create heaven on earth.

No matter what choice and action you take, every person and circumstance is in service to your growth and evolution.

NOTHING is ever wasted!

Life is calling you to stretch beyond all of the can’ts, shoulds and shouldn’ts; to be willing to break the rules of who you were taught to be to become the person you dare to be. Life is a journey of courage and passion.

Living from spirit by allowing your soul and Divinity to lead rather than your ego is not always comfortable. It requires being ok with “I don’t know” and allowing things to unfold with faith and trust.  Not always so easy!  Fear and worries rise up and imagination runs wild.

Life is a journey of courage and passion. It’s normal for fear and worry to arise when stepping out of your comfort zone. The key is knowing how to use transform fear into courage when following your heart.

Some days you take life one minute at a time, an hour at a time and a day at a time so you can take one step at a time. That is why having a strong bond with the your “Essence” is critical to your inner foundation so that you can weather life’s storms with ease and Grace!

To strengthen your inner foundation with courage, join me for my next monthly heart healing call on March 12, “Transforming Fear into Courage”. Learn more about these life-changing calls here

It’s all perfect! All is well!

Love and blessings,

Lorraine

“What are these scars from?” she asked.
“They’re battle wounds,” I replied.
She looked at me for a long time.
“Who were you battling?”
“Myself” - Unknown

One of the ways we do battle with ourselves is when we are not living in integrity.

I see integrity from two perspectives as personal and inner integrity.

To me inner integrity describes a state of wholeness; to tell the truth to YOU and the Divine Presence within you; to “own” and embrace all of your qualities, personality traits, identities, behaviors, beliefs… with an open mind and heart without resistance, judgments, resentments, anger….

Personal integrity refers to how your life system is set up in alignment with your core values. For some it means keeping promises and agreements with others and YOURSELF; being congruent in thoughts, words, and deed.

How you consistently show up in your life that is in alignment with what you stand for; how authentic and in harmony with your True Self reflects integrity.

How to tell where you are?

When you feel in integrity:

Fewer problems are experienced. You feel more vital and alive. Consistent feelings of peace, self-love, gratitude, confidence, self-esteem, and well-being are present and flourishing. Reactions to others is greatly diminished or eliminated. Quality relationships blossom.

When you are out of integrity with yourself, you feel out of sync and in disharmony with YOU; a feeling that you have abandoned your true nature- your spirit. Inner peace and self-love suffers. Life feels more like a struggle rather than one of Grace and flow.
When you don’t like who you see in the mirror, you won’t let yourself have all the good you desire.

Some examples include: staying in the wrong job, accruing debt, abusing your body, unhealthy relationships, abandoning your values, giving your power away, ignoring your needs, compromising safety, destructive behaviors, and not following your heart.

Benefits of Restoring Integrity

1. More energy and an effortlessness to live your life.

2. You will attract quality and more fulfilling people into your life who are reliable, empowering, loving and inspiring, consistently.

3. Restoring integrity is a process that enriches your life.

4. Self-love expands in your heart. When you feel happier with yourself your life blossoms and prospers.

5. Living in inner and personal integrity fosters your connection with your Higher Nature/Personal Divine to move in higher states of consciousness and awakening. Miracles manifest more quickly.

That’s why we’ll focus on identifying and transforming some of the “integrity games” you might be playing in my 7 week Self-Love journey beginning Feb. 5.

PS. This is the only time this year I have this program scheduled and it will probably not be offered again until 2015. So, if you feel a nudge to say yes, that’s your soul talking to you. Pay attention. It knows the way to create your heaven on earth, not your ego.

Last week in preparation for 2014 I began working with my victim wound to do deeper heart healing work. I’ve been working on clearing blocks that was affecting my flow of abundance. The victim wound emerged as a neon flashing sign.

Feeling like a victim is uncomfortable and seeing that as an identity can feel icky because victims are not seen in a positive light. We grow up in a society where there are rules and consequences that create feelings of helplessness and powerless. Childhood experiences, family dynamics, relationships, school, religious teachings…. all contribute to teach us about power.

How often have you felt that someone or something (government, organizations…) was bigger and more powerfull than you?

Looking at experiences in my life when I felt manipulated, taken advantage of, helpless or scared/powerless to someone or a situation, a slew of emotions came up. I began cycling through waves of seething rage, fear, despair, helplessness, and grief towards others, myself, and God.

Working with my healing processes, I fell to my knees in tears as my heart broke open even more as I let go.  The Grace and peace came rushing in and there was no more pain.

I am gratefull for everything I felt and released.

Bring it on!

I welcome the next opportunity for my heart to heal.

Many people are dealing with some very deep heart pain and challenging experiences.

Perhaps you are….

Life is calling us all to heal the past so our hearts can blossom and experience life as we have only imagined and dreamed about. Creating heaven on earth is within our grasp as we come into greater harmony with our true self and the Presence within.

My friend Lisa Dorey wrote, “We should remember that the landscape around us is changing fast. What looks strong, permanent and impossible to change is actually able to shift in a minute. The new energies pouring into us and our planet are causing this. If you find yourself in a seemingly impossible situation, be aware that change can happen in an instant, and in unexpected ways!”

I see so many people trying to sidestep the inner emotional healing work. In this new energy and consciousness, heart healing is a must and actively FEELING is essential. There is value to verbally expressing your thoughts and feelings about experiences. The key is walking through the pain without getting stuck in the story.

When you stay focused on mental details and retelling what happened over and over, you shift from the heart to the head and there is no release- just a cycling round and round of endless suffering.

As you think about what you want to create in the New Year, consider what you may be avoiding that you must choose to face and feel in order to move forward.

Lorraine
