The Gifts of Love, Compassion & Forgiveness….

The greatest gifts in the world are not wrapped in the most beautiful paper tied neatly with a bow. Boxed gifts and material possessions cannot heal a hurting soul. The most precious gifts you can give are those of love, compassion and forgiveness.

This year those gifts are more important than ever; Our economy is in a shambles, people are losing their jobs or homes, many are in pain and losing hope. You might not recognize those hurting inside as you pass by them on the street or you might be the one in pain carrying the burden of an illness or emotional pain which cannot be seen. People may lash out and hurt you not because of something you said or did but because they are hurting inside themselves.  It might be you who does the lashing out for the same reason. NOW more than ever is the time to open your heart, forgive and have compassion for those around you and the best way to do this is to start with yourself.

If you or someone you know is carrying a heavy load it is important to remember that you (or the others) are not broken and don’t need fixing. What is needed is love, compassion and understanding. Until you walk in another’s shoes you can never know what triggered an emotional reaction or outburst. This is true for you as well. If you walk around thinking you need ‘fixing’ that is the message you put out to everyone you meet. Sometimes it’s necessary to bravely look at yourself and your own burdens. Do have expectations of how others should treat you as if you are the only one carrying burdens? Do you love and respect yourself? Do you treat your body with compassion and forgiveness? If you expect others to treat you with love, compassion and forgiveness no one will be able to live up to those expectations unless you treat yourself that way.

How you treat yourself is how you teach others to treat you. It is precisely the vibration you put out that others react to. Take a moment to reflect on those areas you can love yourself more. Can you forgive yourself if you’ve lashed out at another whether (in your eyes) they deserved it or not? Do you love yourself for who you are with all your faults? Do you treat your physical body with love even if it’s not perfect? Do you strive to open your mind and expand your knowledge so you have a deeper understanding of yourself and or what someone else is going through? Can you put judgement aside and forgive yourself for the indiscretions and choices you’ve made which may have inadvertently hurt either yourself or someone else? Now is the time to love yourself and forgive. After all you’ve been through love is the one thing that stands by you, has faith in you, supports you, and is always there for you. Love teaches you to forgive the seemingly unforgivable. Compassion and forgiveness lead to loving unconditionally.

Open your heart to love. Allow love to flow through your heart and surround you. Allow your actions to match. We are all connected by love and when we show love and compassion through our actions every moment is a loving moment. Our actions show the outer world what we have inside. Our actions show the intimate relationship we ultimately have with ourselves. Make gift giving a daily habit by giving the gifts of compassion, forgiveness and love. Start with yourself….begin within.~Shine Your Light Debbie

You Can’t Heal What you Don’t Want to Confront

Within you there is energy which is yours and energy or programming which is not. Everyone has something to work on and no one is perfect and immune. Sometimes these energies are so engrained in you that you don’t even realize there is an energy which quite possibly has affected you your whole life. You don’t have to be ‘sick’ to need a healing. You can be at a crossroads and/or in a place where you are wondering why you have difficulty manifesting in some area of your life. The latter is the hardest to meet head on because you have to take ownership that at some level YOU are getting in your own way due to holding on to the ‘perfect pictures’ you have created in your mind based on someone else’s truth or past pain.

When you have gone through or are going through a challenging time or having difficulty manifesting your hearts desire you have several choices. You can push the energy aside, pretend it isn’t there, blame someone else, ignore it altogether, stuff it deep down inside you or own it and clear it. You certainly can opt for one of the first five however keep in mind that unless you actually take ownership and clear the energy you will continue to harbor its effects which sometimes lasts for years or manifests into a real illness. Taking ownership does not mean blaming yourself for something that has happened nor does it mean condoning someone else’s (or your own) actions. To be clear I’m referring to taking ownership of YOUR energy and pictures.

Everything is energy and leaves an energy signature….

Have you given up space to an energy signature not your own? It might be as simple as you were trying to be a good little boy or girl when you were little and your replaced your own energy signature with that of your parents. It could mean that you toned down your energy with friends or co-workers therefore taking on the energy of ‘what is acceptable’ so people would like you and you would fit in. Every single moment of your life is filled with energy signatures including your thoughts and those of others. Healing is about clearing these ‘signatures’ and bringing in YOUR energy to take their place. Just like eating to keep your body fueled for physical energy, daily meditation , clearing out what is not you and filling yourself up with what IS you fuels the spirit and gives you more energy to create and manifest your dreams!

You can’t heal what you refuse to confront

In order to heal you must open Pandora’s box so to speak. You must face your deepest fears, uncover the lies placed upon you and take ownership of your own words and actions. You must face pain, sadness and sometimes even grief. When you find YOU and connect with your truth the lies come flying out and at times it feels like your living in Alfred Hitchcock’s famous movie “The Birds”.  It is an eye-opening time which might even translate into painful moments as you finally see the truth, accept it and release the energy signature. Acceptance creates a powerful healing and again it doesn’t mean condoning. It means seeing and accepting the truth, releasing and filling up with forgiveness for yourself and others involved. Also, confronting your personal actions from the past doesn’t make you wrong. It’s important to forgive yourself and let go of any guilt because your actions were based on the information you had and where you were at the time.

All healing is self-healing and you must truly be willing to see the truth as opposed to the jaded version you’ve seen and acted upon through filters of pain, blame or guilt. Choosing to walk the path of healing is not easy and takes courage so remember to be extra gentle with yourself.  As your pictures come up and you face them in quiet relection remember there are people who love you and support your journey. Remember also to fill up with the golden healing light of universal love.~Shine Your Light Debbie
