Opening to the love stream

Like most of us, I grew up in a traditional religious paradigm. We prayed, asked God for what we wanted, hoped “he” heard, cared, and deemed our desire worthy of attention.  The Infinite Presence I have met and experienced in mystical moments and visionary experiences has nothing to do with tihs human version of God. It is a love beyond description that knows us, loves us, does not judge us, and even understands our purity and goodness more than we understand our own essential nature.

The Infinite I have met is a steady, outflowing stream of love.  The angels I work with will never stray from their love, no matter how much negative lower vibrational energy we throw their way.

In my mundane way of speaking, the Presence isn’t the problem. The angels are not absent. We’re the ones that allow beauty and grace into our ilves or not.

And, like the rest of us, I’ve pinched it off more times than I can count 🙂 I’ve broken too many toes the past few years from being ungrounded, disconnected from the moment, trying to figure things out instead of resting in grace, and boom. Injury. As a result of the last broken toe, my alignment is pretty “off center,” and my vision is terrible right now. That is temporary! I don’t even want to say it, really, but in the interest of sharing a story I will.  The optic nerve is pinched by the neck when the neck is off, and ta-da… I walk down the aisle of the grocery store the groceries are bluffy from three feet away. Not ok 🙂 I’m Polish. Food matters.

So, when I discovered recently that I’ve ignored this for a bit too long, I took my own advice. I sat down, breathed, and let the love of the angels and the Divine wash over me. I imagined going to the Doctor again and hearing her (again, because I’ve fixed my eyesight in the past!) say to me, “You’re a freak! People your age don’t improve their vision, but you did!”  She actually said that to me once, and we had a good laugh over my willingness to do eye exercises that worked.

Back to the present, I liked that thought. It gave me immense pleasure to get proof positive that day in the past that I had improved my vision. I imagined seeing clearly again, and within minutes, the urge to do the yoga and exercises I knew to do but hadn’t done became so strong that I stopped meditating and did them. I’m back to my daily routine, and although difficult because I’ve been off of it for a while, it feels great.  I can feel my feet waking up again. I’ve had a moment of much clearer site after only a few days, and while I’m not there yet, I’ll persist until everything is back to normal.

The angels often say, “You can’t receive FM if your tuner is on AM.”  I wanted better vision, of course, but I was focused on how bad it was for too long. So I’m stopping that negative trajectory and recalibrating and will see (literally) the results in time 🙂

For those of you who wonder what I’m doing – it is simple. I sit in a room and imagine tracing every wall, front, back, side, floor, and ceiling, with my vision going around in both directions. (Exercise courtesy of the angel Dr. Peebles channeled by Summer Bacon – summerbacon.com).  I also recently added rolling my eyes way to the left and then to the right in a giant infinity symbol. I can feel the muscles stretching. Now I do this “infinity” symbol gazing up and down, side to side, and diagonally and I feel it. It is working already.

As with everythig else I’ve ever desired, I can’f focus on the problem and receive the solution. I have to find a way to let go of the problem until I can anticipate the solution. For the past few months, I’ve been doing just that – enjoying things within my current focal length and things that don’t require precision. But, as I said, when I couldn’t read the groceries, well then! It was time to focus more clearly ( pun intended!) on what I wanted 🙂

So as you go through life, be easy on yourself. The natural impulses that come when you’re not in such a great space might just be helping you to slow down and stop those “speeding” negative beliefs until you can find more positive ones. I had to just have a bit of fun and rest before I was willing to take the next steps. And that is ok.

Life is a process to be enjoyed, not a race to the mythical finish line!

The universe loves us more than we know, often more than we’re willing to slow down and feel. Nonetheless, the love, grace, and guidance are always there.

Here are a few ways to help you remeber the universe’s love and support for you.

1.  Look at all you’ve created

Instead of looking at what isn’t there, isn’t working, and isn’t to your liking, count your blessings. Look at what has worked in the past, all those things that you have enjoyed, the magic moments, the gifts you cherish, the food you enjoy, the parts of your body that are comfy and working as advertised!

There are always things we want to create, but we have all already created so much.

Taking time to acknowledge the good yo’uve already experienced is worth the effort. It reminds you that so many “I wants “have already turned into “I haves”.

2. Look for evidence of the Universe’s love

This one takes a bit of work at times because we have to get over any lingering tantrums going on in our psyche!

An adult tantrum looks and feels something like this. “I can’t / won’t be happy until I get XYZ!”  Translated, “I will withhold love from myself because I’m not getting it the way I want now.” I laugh at myself when I get into these temporary states of being!  We all do it. There’s no shame in it. It just doesn’t work.

So when you catch yourself deciding you cannot be happy until XYZ, happens, lighten up. Remind yourself you can find things to feel good or at least better about now. If you refuse to soothe yourself or feel better, that’s ok too! If you really want to say you’ve tried “everything” to feel better and nothing works, that’s ok. It just doesn’t feel good. It is just a childish way we try to manipulate the universe into feeling sorry for us and giving us what we want. And the universe doesn’t work that way. Love is there, just waiting for us to receive it but we’re on a different station.

Again, no shame. We’ve all done it – I  just laugh at myself if I catch myself in that frame of mind.  And then I look for something to feel better about.

The universe’s love is present in every bite of chocolate for me, in every shaft of sunlight filtering through the trees. It is present in the eyes of kind souls, babies, birds, cats, dolphins, raccoons, and dogs, to name a few! I ts there in the gazillion cells that rush to the scene of the accident when I scratch myelf on the rosebush’es thorns. And it is present in the thorns that guard the rose until it can offer its beauty.

There is love to be seen. There are websites with good news. There are millions of generous souls sharing all manner of helpful tips, recipes, and tutorials on YouTube.   There are musicians sharing God’s love in song and bakers sharing  God’s love in the cookies we like.

Evidence of the Source’s love is everywhere if we’re willing to see it.

3. Sit, breathe, receive

I’m sure some of you are tired of hearing this. You may have tried it and feel it doesn’t work. But if you truly sit, breathe, and relax, intending only to receive, without trying to place oonditions on how it has to look or feel, you’ll get some help. It might not feel monumental. It might be a little peace, a slight ray of hope, or you get knocked out and need a nap! In anycase, the angels are on call waiting to love on us if we’re willing to quiet the mind, breathe, and truly be open to receive.

It is hard to feel loved when we don’t see or have what we want—yet there are so many things that are good all around all the time. One young woman who happened to be visiting her family in Israel at the time of the bombing recounted the kindness of people helping one another to safety. Her practice of seeing good enabled her to find it even in the most unthikable of circumstances.

We feel the world. We hear about it even if we don’t watch the news. But it need not rock us out of a wonderful loving trajectory for long because God’s news is good news, and love is always streaming.
