Secret Chalice

This week of June 16-22, 2008 the psychic energies that are affecting each and everyone of us around the world, given the change in time zones, suggest that we individually learn to guide ourselves in understanding how to:

• Ask and receive help from people as a demonstration of strength in vulnerability.

• Nurture your vulnerabilities and your child-like qualities.

• Develop a relationship with the child within me.

• Become conscious of my defenses and to realize it is safe and rewarding for me to open myself and receive love.

• To claim and own my aliveness.

• Practice looking for the way to join and feel connected with everyone in my life.

• Practice acknowledging people who in some way demonstrate the success I want.

• Learn to be truly myself in some way.

• Practice representing myself through love rather than fear.

• Acknowledge some talent I have been hiding from myself and ask God or a higher power how to actualize it.

• Give myself complete permission to feel and express the joy in me.

Practical Application:

1. Write down areas in your life where you could use some help. Open yourself up by asking others for that help.
2. Nurture your vulnerabilities and your child-like qualities.
3. Become aware of your defenses and how they may block good will.
4. Own and claim your aliveness by forgiving anyone who taught you to suppress it. Write down as many answers or activities to the completion of this sentence: ” I feel most alive when I __________”. Commit to doing one of these activities each day for at least a week.
5. Write down ways that you are connected and what you have in common with other people.
6. Practice acknowledging people who in some way demonstrate the success you want. Silently affirm ” You are a reflection of my mind. Thank you for showing me this part of myself”. List what success’ you are acknowledging in yourself.
7. Learn to be yourself. It is always enough to be who you really are, affirm “The more I can be myself, the more I will have everything I want”.
8. Since you are either representing either love or fear in your life, choose to be a a representative of God or of a higher power through love.
9. Make a list of some talents you have been hiding from yourself and ask God or a higher power how to actualize them.
10. Give yourself complete permission to express the joy that is in you and to forgive anyone who taught you to suppress it. Each day this week, take the time to express yourself joyfully. How do you like to express yourself joyfully? Reflect on the different kinds of joy that are within you. Was there or is there anyone in your life who taught or teaches you to suppress your joy? Will you forgive them and express your joy anyway?

Make a list of a few of your joys and enjoy your day or night…
