This is a talk about being free of other people's negative influences and independence in your soul. It is very helpful for people in co-dependent relationships, and for those who are empaths or very sensitive to other's energy.

It includes a meditation.

Welcome to another in the series of mystical perspectives.

I'm Reverend Cindy Palos.

I wanted to talk today about the subject of achieving freedom from the influences of others that can affect us in a negative way.

And that may not just be others.

It could be news gassed.

It could be things we read.

It could be social media.

But there's a lot of influences in our life.

Sometimes they're very subtle.

But it's important to make sure you're free of some of that energy.

And it's not always easy to find the way to be free from the negative energy that's out there.

And this is where we become more aware in our daily living and also that awareness can be built up in our meditation.

It's a very subtle thing how our subconscious mind is influenced.

And it's influenced by sounds.

It's influenced by light.

It's influenced by what we see on TV.

It's influenced by what we read.

And then there's the universal influences that happen,

The cosmic influences.

But on top of that,

There is the collective unconscious.

And then you get down to your personal life and you have your life partner,

You have your friends,

You have the people you work with.

And it's really important to be aware of how we are affected by those things.

Just like we said,

Put an aura of light around you in the morning.

You might need to do that at work as well.

But on the material plane,

We do create a lot of attachments and bonds to things that we use and need in our life.

And of course,

These relationships are all right,

But what if they are your complete resource system?

What if you're allowing someone to totally influence your life and you're not even aware of it?

What if your person that is influencing you is almost controlling what you're saying and thinking?

You know,

This happens more than you might be aware of.

There's so much abuse that goes on in the world and there's so much control that goes on in the world that we're not even aware of,

Right?

So when we're going into meditation and making contact with our inner highest self,

Our soul,

And then connecting to the Holy Spirit and then connecting to God or the one source of all,

We might really all of a sudden find that our energy field is changing.

And we may see that the person who controls us is sensing that,

Wow,

Maybe I'm not having as much control there.

And they may actually subconsciously sense this and try to have more control.

But this is where we learn.

Again,

This is where we have the karma and release the karmic ties.

We're here to clear up our karma.

We're here to learn lessons in life.

And some of those things have gone on a long time.

And we can hold on very,

Very tightly to our control and our influences and our co-dependence and our identity with those people.

It's very easy to get attached to these things,

Right?

And your lifestyle and your house and your car and your dog and your possessions,

It's all this thing.

But the more you have,

The more you have to work to take care of and maintain those things and the more you're identifying with it and the more it takes away really from who you really are.

The more light that you have,

The more love that you have from God,

The more you can count on find that you are related and have a relationship to that one source.

Then you can free yourself from needing the outer resources.

Now it's not easy,

Especially if it's the lifetimes of karma.

And it can even change your life in many ways,

Usually for the past.

But it can be not an easy situation to break free of co-dependence,

Right?

I wrote this when I was thinking on this subject.

What must we do to be independent and free of any of that negative energy,

The dark shadows of the mind and all the doubts that we might find?

Can we just let them go and see that they have no real power to take control?

We don't really have to be subject to our ego because love can overcome that fear and of course there's forgiveness,

Which is one of the greatest tools to use here.

And we can use that tool to finally heal all the hurts and the pain that's inside.

But first we must really love ourselves and forgive any of the mistakes we made and who were dependent upon and what we had to use to get through at this place.

And there's so many ways we use this to learn,

But in time we do get strong enough to grow and learn.

And then we awaken and with the breath we face all the roles and the rules of the game and the truth of what it takes to live here and love this human race.

In a higher perspective our souls are free,

But it's really easy to become trapped in the cage of our own making,

Our own choices.

The illusion,

The maya illusion,

The karma,

What we thought we came here for,

But we grow in time and as we grow we might still be stuck in the old things that held us.

I wrote this also,

Oh this cocoon that holds me locked within,

Aching to break free of the limitations so I can begin again with the heavenly rays of light that bring the vision and insight to that great passageway to take so I can release any of the blocks that I imagine are holding me.

And there is in my soul's memory that deepest DNA,

A way to be free,

To remember the creator holds that key.

And life changes form constantly from a cocoon to becoming a butterfly and it's a butterfly to dance into the light.

Till we finally find we're free.

And then what do we do right?

Then we go back to what our true purpose is and how we can still maintain that connection,

Our inner light and our love and make our purpose in life a reality.

Let's do a meditation here,

Taking a few very deep clearing breaths,

Breathing in slowly,

Holding it a second in that pause and releasing and breathing out any blocks,

Any ties that you don't need anymore.

Breathing in light,

Holding and releasing and letting go and letting God be in control.

Breathing in deeply,

Going to the soul,

Letting that light of the soul come down and fill every single cell of your being,

Your head bathed in light,

Your third eye with that violet light,

Your throat chakra glowing with blue,

That heart and soul inside of you,

That green light filled with the pink blossom of love,

The love that heals,

The love that holds you,

The love that gives you strength.

Breathe that in,

See and feel that love.

Realize that you can be free to choose your purpose in life.

You can be a force for good.

You can choose love.

You can forgive the past.

Breathe in that power and now in a moment release and forgive all that's held you,

All the things that have hurt you.

Feel your heart healing and releasing and being whole and forgive,

Forgive,

Forgive yourself,

Forgive others and feel yourself becoming an awakened joy.

And feel yourself becoming an awakened channel for God's unlimited light.

That brilliant light of a million suns fills you now,

Makes you whole.

Feel the love that grows and grows and grows till you are sending that love out to the entire planet,

Hoping others to free the chains of maya and karma,

Seeing that light and that peace circling the planet and coming back to you a hundred fold.

And now let that light and the very source of that light fill you with the strength to be free and independent,

To have the power to be who you really can be.

Let that love heal any of the hurts.

Let that love that is in the heart of God come into you and be your guiding light and give you the answers to all solutions.

Turn your life over to the greatest will of God and let go of any of egos,

Directions,

Be attuned to your purpose,

Be open to your purpose so you can fulfill the plan of heaven on earth that you came for.

You are able to be the light,

To become the light,

To live with love,

To share the truth of who you are,

To serve with the blessings of God in this life and to love with the unconditional power of understanding,

To know joy in fulfilling your process of serving the one,

The highest one of love and light.

See every dream of who you were before you came to this planet being fulfilled by you.

See all that you've been searching for and waiting for right now,

See all that you've been searching for and waiting for right there for you to be in this very moment.

See the magnificence of your very being awakened from the dream within the dream and know that you have found who you are.

You don't need to be controlled by the world,

You don't need to be proving yourself in the world,

You just need to accept who you are and be ever so grateful for living in that purpose.

Now take another deep breath in,

Let that purpose fill you,

Energize you,

Redeem you,

Restore you,

Renew you with God's unlimited love inside you.

You're unlimited in that love.

Now slowly come out of meditation,

Breathe in that wonderful redemptive energy of finding who you are and I'm going to close today's talk with the Aramaic version of the Lord's Prayer.

Father,

Mother of the cosmos,

Shimmering light of all,

Focus your light within us so we may breathe your holy breath.

Enter the sanctuary of our hearts,

Uniting within us the sacred rays of your power and beauty.

Let your hearts desire unite heaven and earth through our sacred union.

Help us fulfill what lies within the circle of our lives today.

Forgive our secret fears as we freely choose to forgive the secret fears of others.

Let us not enter into forgetfulness tempted by false appearances.

For from your astonishing fire comes the eternal song which sanctifies all.

Renewed eternally in our lives and throughout creation.

We seal these words in our hearts,

Committed in trust and faith.

Amen.

Thank you so much and may you be free to love,

Full of light,

To fulfill your purpose here on earth.

God bless you.
