Hello beautiful beings.
Welcome to the Turn Yourself In podcast,
A self-mastery preschool for adults program providing bite-sized secrets,
Reflections,
And exercises to know,
Love,
And heal thyself and to be happy,
Healthy,
Helpful,
And holy.
Together we will zoom into your deepest most expansive and highest self to gain self-mastery.
This is Reverend Catherine Ganoff Soto.
Thank you for being and for being here with me today.
In the previous episode I discussed the fourth consideration within the Teach Love dimension called Let Go of Attachments.
In this 34th episode we will explore the fifth consideration within the Teach Love dimension called Choose Love in Every Moment.
As always,
First prepare your environment.
Turn on your receiving mechanism and prepare the tools you use to learn.
Turn on your favorite healing sounds.
Receive your favorite essential oils and prepare to absorb what you wish.
Receive a deep nourishing breath and state aloud,
I choose to receive profound and transformational epiphanies,
Insights,
And peacefulness with ease and grace.
I choose to receive profound and transformational epiphanies,
Insights,
And peacefulness with ease and grace.
Choose love in every moment.
See each experience unfold with love and compassion for self and all beings.
This one can often require a lot of surrender and many deep breaths.
It seems so simple to choose love in every moment.
I am certain there are many people in the world who can do so with ease.
There are others of us who continue to operate out of fear in the illusion because we don't realize another way.
We use our stories,
Programming,
And past traumas to protect ourselves from the quote-unquote evil in the world and so we choose fear in these moments.
If you can slow down,
Close your eyes,
Breathe,
And remember that you are loved,
That you can choose how you will respond,
That you can choose how you will use and distribute your own energy,
Then you can begin to choose love every time.
Choosing love in every moment doesn't mean you agree or disagree,
That you are right and others are wrong,
Or that you allow others to inflict physical harm upon you.
It doesn't mean that those involved are any quote-unquote thing.
Instead,
Choosing love means to witness the situation,
The experience,
And everyone and everything involved as a divine child of God playing in this field of energy that we call life.
Can you witness it with curiosity and compassion?
Can you embody the energy of love while residing in each moment?
Can you let go of attachments to the stories and allow what is?
Witness the exchange of energy and the lessons and experiences unfolding with love and compassion for yourself and for all beings.
Pause the moments and receive it all in slow motion.
Witness the faces,
The energies,
And the experiences with compassion for everyone involved.
Step one is to decide that you will choose love in every moment.
Make it a mantra every day.
There is no need to beat yourself up when you don't choose love.
Just recognize and continue to practice.
Continue to commit to choose love in every moment.
The practice will help bring it to your awareness so that you can remind yourself to choose love at each next moment.
With the moments you do choose love,
You will create a new pathway for your being to choose the same in future experiences.
Over time,
It will become easier and easier to choose love.
Contemplate the following.
If you had to choose the fate of the world and stood before two buttons,
One fear and the other love,
What would you choose?
I believe you would likely choose love because most of us desire this at the core of our being.
We want ourselves and others to be loved and to live with happiness.
We desire peace,
Yet we choose fear again and again.
Why?
Is it because we were taught this by our parents,
Teachers,
Friends?
Is it because we heard of or saw someone acting out of fear and hurting self or others?
Did peeking at this fear ignite its growth?
Are we born with fear?
Is it natural?
We know how to change our minds and respond with a sincere no thank you to something that is being offered to us.
We understand how to train our bodies and minds to work in different ways.
Can you learn to love more than to fear?
While fear may run deep and has a strong hold,
Mostly because we allow it as we don't realize a different way yet,
Love is much more potent and it isn't forceful.
It resides within,
Waiting for you to ignite it,
To utilize it.
Love is medicine that is healing,
But only you,
Only you can activate it and use it.
No one can do it for you.
The same is true for letting go of your fears.
Make a choice,
However challenging,
However stubborn.
Make a choice and choose love in every moment.
Use your skills of being consistent,
Persistent and resistant to transform fear and choose love.
With care,
Set the intention to do this every day.
I promise you it will change the way you view life,
Even if you aren't able to choose love every time.
All that is required is to choose love once.
Plant the seed,
Set the intention,
Have awareness and reflect that love back to yourself.
Love is the answer.
You are the question.
Here are some practices you can take into your day today.
Practice number one,
Set the intention to choose love in every moment.
At the start of your day,
Speak the following aloud,
I will choose love in every moment.
Let it be and go about your day.
At night,
Ask yourself if you chose love in every moment.
If you did not,
Reflect on the moment and identify how you could have chosen love and then choose love now,
Even though the moment was in the past.
Do this every day.
Consider setting an alarm or wearing something that will remind you to choose love.
Practice number two,
Reflect on some challenging experiences you have had where things did not turn out so well and you wished you could have handled it with more ease.
Start light so it's not so traumatic.
As you imagine this experience,
View everyone and everything through the lens of love.
Imagine everyone and everything with compassion and understanding and with forgiveness.
No need to do anything else but choose love for the experience.
Just choose love.
Notice and witness your emotions,
Feelings,
And thoughts as you move with this process.
What is it teaching you?
Here are some affirmations.
You can speak the following aloud or choose to create your own.
Repeat daily for as long as desired.
Number one,
I commit to choose love in every moment.
I commit to choose love in every moment.
Number two,
I choose to let go of the fears around choosing love in every moment.
I choose to let go of the fears around choosing love in every moment.
Number three,
I commit to gaining awareness with where and why I don't choose love.
I commit to gaining awareness with where and why I don't choose love.
And number four,
I can choose love over fear.
I can choose love over fear.

A self-mastery preschool for adults program.
