Hi Everyone,
So I’ve been in a thoughtful mood recently and here’s one of the musings I’ve been having. Thought you might enjoy.
Everything and everyone is connected. Everything is in a constant state of dynamics. So as we elevate ourselves, those around us also elevate after some time that the dynamic forces at work have been allowed to manifest. If we don’t properly care for ourselves, then as we are “down”, that energy will tend to create the dynamics to bring those around us “down”. It tends to depend on which energy is stronger at the time.
Recall a time when you were feeling pretty good, then you come home and someone else there is in a foul mood. Did they take it out on you somehow? Did you let it get to you? Did it affect you somehow?
Most likely it did. The same is with the reverse. It comes down to A) how present we are to be able to see what’s going on and then take the time to decide how do deal with it, or B) if we are not present and we tend to react instead of observe and decide. When we are present, we become aware of our choices. We have the power to choose how we want to deal with it.
It goes along what Eleanor Roosevelt said. She said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” That is one of my favorite quotes, and it’s true. There have been many times that someone has said something negative to me and it then brought me down. That is, I let it. Why? Ignorance. I didn’t know who I was and how it is God’s Spirit and God’s Love within me that is the true me.
I know that all pain expressed comes from pain felt. So I hold to the awareness that if the negative person wasn’t in the kind of pain they were in, then what they said or did would have been different. And it would have been positive, because their pain would not have blocked the path of God’s Spirit from shining through.
And I pray to God to help me continue to grow in that awareness that I may know it in myself and others. What better way to begin to help others than to see God, His Spirit and His Love as each person’s essence?
Blessings,
Irene
Resource Tip: Presence (being grounded/in the now/centered) is key to healing and awareness. Holistic healing therapies are great for helping one to gain presence as are being out in nature, some breathing exercises, some meditation, some kinds of exercise, various exercises in observation, and spending time with God. Feel free to share more if I missed any.
Hi Everyone,
As I was offering some support to a friend today, I had this flow through me. Thought you might like it.
God created us to help elevate others when they’re not feeling as strong. Once they are strong again, then they can be more efficient in helping others. And the more lifting and elevating of others we do, the closer we are to God and His Graces within us and around us. The stronger, wiser, calmer, and more loving we become. the flowing of God’s Love elevates all that are touched by it. 
But it’s hard to lift others when we ourselves are “down”. Too many people focus on helping others without properly caring for themselves, leaving themselves in need of care. Many seem to think that taking care of themselves is somehow being selfish. But our bodies are a gift from God. Self-care has nothing to do with selfishness. Self-care is about honoring the spirit of God within us.
We are the spirit of God manifest. The more we allow our hearts to connect in oneness with God’s Love, the more His Hand is allowed to work through us.
Elevation from within to the elevation of all.
Thank you, Lord.
Blessings,
Irene

Hi Everyone,
I recently came across a great quote, although I do not know who the author is. It says, “Miracle workers do not concern themselves with what others think of them.”
As expected, God has perfect timing as I’ve been trying to learn more about how to create miracles as well as working on myself to let go of what worries remain about what others may think about me.
I’m well aware that of my own self I do nothing. It all comes from God. But as a child of God, it is His Spirit within me and all that He Is that holds infinite potential within me if I let it. My job is to trust God, let go, and let it flow. In other words, letting go and letting God. One of my personal and professional mottos.
The matter of miracles and trusting God is easier said than done sometimes, but when I’m able to experience those moments, then it sometimes feels like I am a miracle and so is everything and everyone.
The awareness of trusting, letting go, and letting it flow makes it so much easier to work through whatever healing process I’m working through or helping others with.
I found that the following 4 points have been most prevalent in helping me learn how to trust in God:
1) That God will never bring us to something that we cannot also get through.
2) That I know nothing and God knows everything so leaving it in His hands is the easier and wiser thing to do. (Something I learned much more deeply from Dr. Richard Bartlet’s teachings from Matrix Energetics.)
3) That God’s Love for me is infinite and He knows best, so one way or another everything will be alright.
4) And that because of experience, I’ve learned that every time I work through something and let it go, I become stronger, wiser, happier, and more connected with God and others.
Everything happens for a reason. Everything that I’ve been through has been because of His Divine guidance, or else I could not have grown as much as I have. And I thank you, Lord.
Letting go is a conscious decision allowed by the awareness of trust.
Letting it flow is still a matter of trust. Once we let it go, then it’s time to observe and enjoy the show of whatever we are aware of or experiencing, because it is then that the process of His creating is allowed to be.
I continue to work to allow God’s Love flow through me that I may a part of His creative Hand. Like I said, it’s easier said than done. But like anything else, it’s a matter of practice. It’s the practicing that opens the doors to the miracles. And every miracle always makes it worthwhile.
Blessings,
Irene
