Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Palos.
I had a very interesting comment from someone who had listened to one of my talks,
And I was very impressed with the fact that the person realized they had resistance.
In this particular case,
Resistance to forgiveness.
Now this is such an important thing to be aware of.
That's why I was very impressed that there was a recognition.
Resistance can happen on a very subtle level.
And as you are progressing along your path and meditating more and becoming more and more aware,
You may be aware of some blocks.
Blocks can be in many,
Many ways about many things,
But there's so many actually that I think I'll focus more on forgiveness since that was the topic that was brought up by the person making the comment.
But the thing is that we carry our avoidance of encountering blocks in many ways.
And it's really helpful if you can be aware of how you are reacting and if you are even reacting to something that is causing you resistance or a block.
We're body,
Mind,
And soul,
And an energy field,
And we all can react in different ways.
Some people can recognize a block by the way their body feels.
Your body might feel tension.
It could even be something like a headache.
It could be your tensions held in your shoulder or your face.
It could be in your lower back.
And we can even be out of alignment because of a block.
It could be even a block in the flow of our spine,
In our chakras,
And the energy could not be flowing properly because of certain energy blocks.
It can be blocks that are held in our mind.
Our minds have become very,
Very,
Very active with all the things we do with social media.
And we're thinking,
Thinking,
Thinking,
And reacting with our minds all the time.
And then there can be our soul blocks,
Spirit blocks.
These can be things that came from even possibly other lifetimes or something that could have happened psychically to us that could be causing interference or blocks.
It could be a post-traumatic stress.
It could go back to some time when we were young as a child and something happened to us that we may not even remember that has left a lasting impression.
Now all of these things will come up in meditation.
And as you meditate and go deeper and deeper within,
These things will come up so they can be recognized and faced.
And it can be difficult.
I mean,
This is something that you've been bearing for some reason,
Right?
So it's good to be able to face what it is that is a block.
Is there a fear there?
Often when you have a block,
There is a fear involved.
And that fear can be from anything.
And it can be reacting to something that you don't necessarily want to face.
But by naming it,
By recognizing it,
By facing it,
By giving it love,
By sending it light as you would a treatment of Reiki,
The someone who was ill or to yourself.
By doing that,
You can overcome these blocks and you can work on these blocks.
And depending on your emotional setup,
This could be something that could easily be released or it may take a long time.
It really depends on you because it's up to you and your soul to face these things.
Eventually you will.
It kind of just depends when you're really ready to.
And only you really know that.
But there's a lot of things you can do if you are at that point that you've recognized it.
There's a sign that you are ready to recognize what's going on.
And it can feel like a burden.
It can feel like this heavy baggage you've carried.
And it can feel so good once you recognize it and start to lighten that load.
And the shadow and the heaviness of it can be gone and you start to feel joy and light.
And like you can do anything and you're empowered.
So I wrote this poem about this.
Actually,
Just after I read that comment,
I wrote this just the other day.
Even in the darkest times,
I sense that you are there.
Yet to fully embrace you,
I must let the old ways go.
All that baggage gets so heavy.
All those shadows can pull you down.
And we must focus on our faith and know that we can indeed find a way to trust in that inner self and lean upon.
There is always a price to pay to make it through this life unscathed.
The scars of living create ancient blocks and some regrets.
And sometimes life's in retrograde.
But we still hear the calling.
And yes,
We can remember our deeper purpose here.
And we still can find the power to awaken and get past our fears.
And even in the darkest times,
When you are walking through the valley and the shadow of death,
There is this light that shines on you and brings you the strength you need.
And you will find a way to get to that point when you believe in the mercy that allows you to see the shadows are a fantasy.
And God's love is your true destiny.
And what comes up when I read that is,
Again,
What we face in these times are many fears,
Many unspoken things.
I'm sure you've heard people talk about these strange dreams triggered by these times we're in,
Right?
And our ego,
We want to take over.
And our ego can be very,
Very strong.
But the ego is an illusion.
And we as our soul are way more than our ego.
And the way to overcome the ego is to let go.
Let go and let God be in control.
If you're battling your fears with your ego and your ego is in control,
Your ego will play amazingly.
These games it plays,
It's called in some traditions in the Native American traditions as the trickster.
Some people call it a devil.
But it's that part of us that is there when we have fear.
And it can create energy blocks as well.
So if there are these energy blocks or emotional blocks in your body,
You need to bring them to the light.
You need them to come out and you need to love them away so that the energy can flow through your mind and your body and your soul without interruption.
And if it is based on forgiveness,
It can go very deep.
And forgiveness is a lifelong process,
Really.
Every step of your life can be a step of forgiveness.
And the most common place for energy blocks is either in the lower pelvic region where there's emotional blocks or your back.
It can also be deep into your heart.
So this is where we send it light and love.
And we're going to do a meditation right now to send and practice sending ourselves light and love in a safe place inside,
In that sacred place inside.
To use our sacred toolbox to know that we're able to control what we are afraid of by recognizing it and shining the light and love on it and releasing it.
So let's take some wonderful deep clearing breaths in.
Breathe in deeply into the count of three.
And hold for a couple of seconds.
And now just breathing out,
Breathing out,
Releasing any tension.
Breathing in the light to the count of three.
Holding a couple seconds and letting that light fill your body,
Your mind,
Your heart,
Your pelvic area,
Your lower back.
Just let that light bathe you.
Breathing in deeply and holding for a couple of seconds and extending light around your body,
A protective light at least six feet out around your entire body like a shell.
Breathing out and let that protective area of light,
A white light with gold around it,
Surround you in that sacred place so that you feel safe and protected from any negative energy.
Breathing in deeply and this time let's breathe in love and allow our soul's energy to come down and fill our mind and our body and our heart.
Breathing in that love now into your heart of hearts,
Your sacred place,
That inner sanctuary you have.
And go into that sacred space of stillness now from your heart to your soul and be still.
Be still and know that you are part of God.
Recognize that unbelievable gift,
That power of light and love from whence you came.
Call upon it.
And from that place of your soul,
That sacred beautiful place inside,
Ask yourself,
Is there anything that I would like to release?
Is there any hidden fears?
Is there anything that needs forgiveness?
Know that you are safe and protected and allow whatever might be dwelling deep within you to come forth.
Recognize it.
See what your body reacts when you ask for anything that needs to be recognized.
Many times your body will react in some way.
Be still for a few breaths and just allow yourself to receive anything that you would like to let go of and release right now.
Know that when you are in this safe space within,
You have nothing to fear.
Breathe in that power of light and love and whatever it is you wish to be freed of,
Let it come forth and be present so that you can now set it free.
If there's any blocks in your chakras,
Breathe the energy from the top of your head down to the base of your spine,
From the base of your spine up to the top of your head.
Sense your alignment.
Is there any chakras that need to be aligned?
If there is,
Recognize that.
Now let's send whatever area feels like it needs to be recognized.
Let's send it light.
Let's send it the brightest light of a million suns.
Let's just ask for God to send that pure white light to that area and bathe that area in unconditional love,
Loving yourself for recognizing what needs to be released.
Know you do not need that blockage,
That baggage,
That burden any longer.
And breathe in that light and send more light to that area and just let it come out of you.
Put it in a chalice in front of you and take that chalice and that energy,
Those shadows of fear and darkness and anything that may have been feeling hurt or anger,
Any fear right there into that chalice and let that chalice be raised up to the highest point in infinity to the source of all and be released.
Be freed.
And that chalice is now empty and in the place of that empty chalice comes this perfect nectar,
This beautiful energy from the fountain of light and that light is so pure and bright and it pours down into your soul right now and from your soul down into your mind and your body and you feel restored and you feel renewed and you feel revitalized and you feel like you are now lighter,
More loving,
That you can indeed fulfill your purpose and destiny when you let your fears and blocks be freed.
Believe that,
Be it,
See it,
Absorb it,
Know it and now allow yourself to slowly come out of meditation and I'll say the Aramaic Lord's Prayer.
Avun Dei Borshmaya Ni Te Kata Shashama Te Te Malkuta Nui Te Sivinaka Kana Dei Borshmaya Obara Ha Haolan Lakma Dei Sunkana Nyamana Wa Shvoklana Aben Aikanada Panyin Shwakina Hayaben Ula Talan El Nisiona Ella Pisan Menbisha Mei Tal De Lekim El Kuta U Hai La Utish Bata La Alam Amen Amen.
A mama,
A mama,
Ua Noah,
The prayer is freed.
I feel so good and I thank you so much my friend for taking the time to face yourself and allow yourself to feel that light and that love that clears away the blocks and please feel free to use this meditation and do the work you need over and over until you feel like you've really got it.
It may be right now or it may need to be done over but you know that you can do this and you have the strength and power to address what you need to make your life fully functional and happy and joyful so that you can indeed fulfill your purpose here in life.
God bless you always.
