A very big Aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos,
And I wanted to talk today about the path of self-realization.
And it's a long journey.
It starts whenever you decide that you are ready to become self-aware.
And in that journey of self-awareness,
You become aware of pretty much everything,
Because your inner self and your true self is connected to everything.
And so what happens is you grow in interesting ways.
It's something that you have to really understand and have a great love for,
To be able to accept that you need to be aware of what's really going on inside yourself.
You become very accepting of yourself.
You become accepting of other people as well,
Because you begin to understand that this journey that you're on,
The inner journey,
Also is connected to the outer journey for all other people as well.
It's one long path,
And it can go on a long,
Long,
Long,
Long,
Long,
Long time,
Lifetimes and lifetimes.
And the thing is,
You have to embrace that acceptance.
You have to really embrace acceptance as a key to understanding.
Now,
As you learn to accept yourself,
You also learn to understand and accept other people more as well.
Acceptance isn't a singular thing.
It's a universal thing.
Acceptance is so,
So very important.
And it gets past judgments,
And it doesn't mean things aren't still going to be obvious as to what their intentions are.
But you understand that this is part of the process.
You begin to accept more of this journey.
And I wanted to,
You know,
Kind of tie that into meditation,
Because meditation is the key.
Meditation is so important in being able to be fed the inner reality,
The higher reality,
That part of you that is on this journey.
So the best way to do that,
Of course,
Is to do it,
To meditate.
So let's take some very deep,
Calming breaths.
Of course,
Watch our spine,
And make sure our spine's nicely erect,
And that the energy is able to flow all the way through from your head down to your toes,
You know,
And all the way back up,
And everything's aligned.
And make sure you have that wonderful light around you,
That beautiful,
Beautiful white light above you,
Below you,
To the right and left of you.
And you are in this wonderfully safe,
Protective circle of white light.
And now take that time to just go deeper and deeper and deeper within,
With each breath.
Breathing in,
Holding,
My neck just cleared,
Clearing everything up,
And just breathing out.
Ah,
Breath sweeps mind,
Breathing in,
Holding and breathing out.
Getting more and more comfortable with yourself as you go deeper within.
And as you get more comfortable with yourself,
You know that you have the sacred safe space there within you.
And it is sacred.
It's sacred because it's your inner journey that takes you to that highest place within you.
And it goes deep,
Deep,
Deep into all of that part around you,
And you become truly open.
And able to receive that truth and that light of who you really are.
Breathing that in and out.
And with your eyes closed,
Of course,
Now take a look,
Take a look inside.
Now you'll probably see some colors changing.
See some different shades of white and purple and blue.
And allow that to just be there,
Passing through.
And go a little further,
A little deeper.
Allow your soul to be present.
What does your soul feel like?
What is the energy of the presence of your soul?
Don't limit,
Don't limit that presence.
That presence is pretty amazing.
Allow that wonderful presence to be here now.
Where does that soul energy come from?
There's no limit.
There's no limit to that energy.
There's no limit to that energy connecting with the universal energy of ultimate beingness.
Ultimate presence.
Feel that presence there with you right now.
Feel it in your body.
Feel it in your mind.
Feel it at that place,
That sacred place of your connection to the highest source of all.
How would that highest source of all communicate and connect with your soul?
What would that feel like?
What would you feel that it says and speaks to you of?
Allow it to be that way where you can understand.
You can truly understand why you are in connection right here now with your soul.
This is an opportunity for you.
To understand why your soul is there with you and what your soul would say and communicate to you.
And let that be.
Know that you can always,
Anytime,
Anywhere connect with this inner source of beautiful energy.
This is a gift that's free.
This is a gift that is priceless.
This is a gift that will always be present when you ask for it to be present.
So say thank you.
Allow yourself to slowly come out to your conscious mind and your awareness of your surroundings.
Ah,
And just feel that goodness.
Feel that beautiful connection as it re-energizes and restores and renews you to your total beingness.
And if anything has come to you,
Any energy,
Thoughts,
Sounds,
Anything,
Take a moment to write it down because that helps to connect that inner self with your outer awareness and that builds a wonderful bridge from inside out and from outside in and from your daily life to your inner life.
And it's a wonderful resource to build up.
I hope that you were able to be present in this energy and appreciate it.
And I thank you so very much for taking the time to be present,
To be here now with this beautiful gift.
Thank you.
