Big Differences

We can be acted upon or we can be the one who creates big differences in our own life.

When media harrassment or a stronger personality overrides our sense of who we are, it is necessary to remove ourselves.

We need to get in touch with the inner listening which reveals our deep identity to us.

Once we have felt the perfect fit of that identity, it is possible to return to it quickly.

The route we are led through exact listening is efficient and it takes us effectively to where we belong.

We are in harmony with our new resources and receive help effortlessly.

The contest with trying to fit someone else’s model disappears.

It is a noticeable difference.

We can create the big difference we want to see in our own life by becoming acquainted with our exact listening.

Our steps will be ordered as though a beacon were lighting the way.

We will request and receive the exact information and processes we need to take our tiny steps continuously.

We will receive the comfort of timely guidance.

A whole new way of living and working opens up, where we are in complete harmony with who we are.

We extend our outreach, supported by the resources which flow constantly in, around, and to us.

Deep Listening

There are some things which only I can hear.

These relate to my purpose and my gifts.

Only the Source Who provides them can guide me in how to use them.

This is the leadership which I follow.

The more I listen and trust, the more precisely I discern my place and instructions.

I am able to be fulfilled by following my instructions exactly.

That places me in my perfect place at the perfect time.

Even when I think I have a good plan, the Universe has a better one.

I am able to refine my work, the more I listen and take specific action.

My tiny steps are building a foundation without gaps.

I am able to enjoy my ability to be true to my purpose and wholly commited to carrying it out.

Commitment to the Course

The course which you have carved through your pain is the right one.

Do not get distracted when things start going well.

Through your many tiny steps, you have laid down a strong foundation which does not depend on anyone else’s opinion.

You have gained support through your dedication to your inner cause.

Your resources continue to come from within.

Through your strength and dedication, you are becoming visible.

Stay.  Your.  Course.

You are here to serve those who can most benefit from your solutions.

Continue becoming visible to them.

Continue learning how to release your ideas and inspiration.

Let your surroundings become pleasant through the inspiration which you share.

Your routines, your studies, your daily practices have evolved to support your new community.

What you have discovered in isolation has created the purity, dedication and strength with which to serve your true community.

The dominant culture has absorbed so many distractions, it can no longer tell what is good and pure and uplifting.

But you can.

The spark in everyone which desires to be fanned into a passionate flame is the desire for safety and well-being for everyone.

Continue building your strength and the strength of those who have been hurt and broken by current practices.

Let increased safety and well-being permeate and spread widely and completely until there is full healing for our society.

What is Your Business?

As I have come through the deep gloom of my early childhood, I find it possible to thrive.

I resented and feared what my abusers had done to me, but I am finding my freedom anyway.

As I viewed their later lives, I wondered how there could be any good waiting for them.

That is how I am beginning to understand forgiveness.

Our HIgher Power knows what we are underneath all the layers of bad, or even good, behavior.

We are seen in that original Light no matter what practices we have taken on for ourselves.

Yielding to temptation, finding pleasure in cruelty, all disappear and are replaced as the person desires to reform.

The ability to reform, to become something different, is a result of the power of forgiveness from our Higher Power.

The corresponding portion is the ability to be released from despair and fear on the part of the victim.

As we see ourselves in a stronger light, our ability to overcome and to surpass our obstacles results in our own freedom.

I never could understand how that worked.

But now I am getting a glimpse.

The desire to be better brings in a different view and corresponding actions.

No one is lost, neither perpetrator nor victims.

It is up to us to take individual responsibility for finding the solution for ourselves.

As we seek out the solution, resources will come to our aid.

Authors, workshop leaders, therapists, friends, all help us on our healing path.

It is our desire, whether victim or perpetrator, which starts us on the path to healing.

This is how I understand and see evidence of forgiveness.

Filling Up With Good

Step by tiny step, I am filling up with good experiences.

These are displacing the decades of hidden fear driven by child trauma.

As the fears are uncovered, I return myself to calm.

I do nothing but remain in a calm state, until I am sure I can maintain it.

Into my life, there enters a new circumstance, a new opportunity.

It may look like a particular type of opportunity, but for me, it is an opportunity to fill up on good feelings.

There is a lot of room for good feelings to displace the negative ones.

I stand patiently, willingly releasing the good work I have been creating into the community.

I receive all the benefits possible in each setting.

Step by tiny step, I become convinced that others consistently see me in a positive light.

I recieve appreciation and recognition for my work.

I am beginning to feel comfortable being visible.

I learn to sustain myself in a calm and relaxed state around others.

Being patient is part of remaining calm.

Everything grows at its own rate.

Patience and calm are required for growth, as well as challenges.

My professional classical musician background taught me to sustain tiny, miniscule actions over a long period of time, years, decades, in order to achieve musical results.

I am learning a new set of comparable skills.

Instead of a concerto by a composer, I am learning a different set of skills and techniques.

I am learning how to live comfortably, beautifully, creatively, with patience, calm and grace.

This is how I am filling up with good.

My Own Uplifting Company

I have been in my own uplifting company all day.

No social media, just working on my projects.

No outside demands, just taking several new steps forward on my projects.

Total fulfillment.

I did not want to stop, but I had to leave my temporary studio and come back home.

I take many varied projects when I set up some where else.

I like to work on one for a while and then go to another.

If I am following a sewing or quilting pattern, there are points where it is natural to take a break.

If I am making something up as I go along, I need to let it sit while I figure out what is next.

I completed four projects today, and laid out my next steps for three more.

I feel the happiest I have been for a while.

I have designed these projects and I am grateful to be where I can get back to them.

They are still valid.

It feels amazing to pick up where I left off and to let my wider view complete them.

It is wonderful to trust yourself and to live in complete alignment with that trust.

I love that I am recommitted to the goals which have been revealing themselves over the past few years.

I love watching them all weave together into a complete whole.

Moving away from things which do not work places me where I can find what does work.

I am finding that my commitment is allowing me to expand into more fulfillment.

I happily place myself under the loving care of the Universe.

It is allowing me to enjoy the meaningful work which satisfies my individuality.

Discerning and Fulfilling My Purpose

As I establish my own stable base, I am able to reach out.

I am grateful to have the ability to discern the needs of someone who is in pain.

Through my encouragement, I see them practice to regain their own strength.

I can help others develop a sense of their well-being.

I am able to help them redirect their thought to access the goodness within them.

My new vast outreach encompasses many techniques and strategies which I have found helpful in my own healing.

Now I can share them with others.

My own tiny steps are guided as I continue to listen within.

I find the resources I need when I need them.

I am supported with timely and knowledgable help.

I feel the vast resource of people who need what I do.

I feel how the Universe is connecting us.

All is flowing at a good pace.

I am learning what I need to learn as I need it.

I am gaining the confidence to present what I have learned.

If You Do Not Listen...

If you do not listen to the people who are telling you what to do with your life and how to live it, you can hear it for yourself.

Your inward intution is a sure guide and is always there for you.

The most precious and important direction you will ever hear comes from within.

It is specifically for you.

You alone can hear it accurately.

You alone can distinguish what the message is.

You alone are the one who can take action on it.

It is your privilege and purpose to live according to the direction you receive from within.

The flurries of activity around you, the social and economic norms have nothing to do with your direction.

You may find yourself in accord sometimes and in opposition other times.

Your purpose is to uplift in the way you have been directed.

You hae been elevated to a clear sense of who you are and what your service is.

Your actions call to those who also are moved to uplift and inspire and to those who wish to recieve this service.

When you remain true to your direction from within, you are led to an entirely different way of relating to what is around you.

You can tell where you belong and where you do not belong.

You can tell who is receptive to your message and who is not.

You are able to let yourself be placed where you can do the most good, perform the most service.

Your inner guidance becomes your most constant companion.

You are able to trust your guidance and to move with confidence.

You find yourself where you belong with all the resources available for your service and happiness.

Preparing a Feast

Sometimes, at a celebration, there is so much good food, that you want a taste of everything.  

Then you can return to the table for your favorites.

I am preparing a feast of ideas and strategies and techniques for you to try out and then you can choose which ones you want to incorporate into your own practice.

 My strategies address interrupting the cycle of traumatic memory.

In my own life, I suffered frequent debilitating panic attacks.

The first thing I discovered was the calming effect of drawing repetitious lines and figures.

I start with a topic as a title and create a “Meditation Drawing” around it.

Later, I write a meditation to go with the topic.

Since then, I have used many different strategies to interrupt my disturbing memories of events from the past.

I write for my blogs almost every day.

As I write, I can see what I am thinking about.

I can direct myself to a positive approach.

I create artsy backgrounds for original affirmations.

Working with colored pencils and watercolor creates a feeling of happiness which interrupts the replay of old memories.

I like to sew and knit and crochet.

The repetitious motion of simple stitching helps regulate my breathing while creating something beautiful.

I have joined several positive groups on Facebook, which allow me to give and to receive support.

I have devloped a vocabulary of self-talk which redirects and uplifts me.

These are some of the ideas and strategies which I look forward to sharing with other people who have the same need as I do.

We can create positive uplifting space for ourselves as we interrupt and disrupt the cycles of traumatic memory.

We can replace them with positive practices which help us move forward into the kind of freedom we desire.
