Kwan Yin through Carol Sydney
Hello, beloved ones, it is good to be with you all today. I have heard from many of you recently about your continued struggles with the healing of the emotional body. In the higher realms there is a constant connection with emotion as we interact with third dimension, but for many of you, it is indeed difficult to stay connected with your feeling center, especially when there is still pain to be experienced and then released. It is often easier to alternately feel, think, feel and think, without staying in your heart to feel at all times.
When you desire to experience self-love and the healing it brings you in an ongoing way, it is important to stay in the heart. Many of you, when in distress, often consult the intellect in order to gain strength, find hope and feel relief from the pain. There is wisdom in gaining a sense of strength, but do not go to the empty pot of the intellect for what is to be found in the fountain of faith. The heart is the center of that faith.
Life is full of many choices. When choices are presented to you, it is not yet automatic for many of you to consult the heart for decision-making. Whatever is in your path, use only your heart to decide. Use your head for common-sense decisions, of course, like what to have for dinner or which gasoline to put in your car. Use your heart to show you how it will feel to embrace a path that is presented to you. If you find you cannot locate your heart for consultation, it means there is something in the way. Then is the time for healing.
As a test of whether you are in your heart, try feeling my energy now. It will surely come through the written word because I have decreed it to do so. In my world of the ascended realms, this is an easy thing to do. It is so because I surround everything I do with love from my open heart. It is not the same as making an intent. There is much confusion for most of you about this. An intent is not a consultation of the intellect, it is an act of the heart. It is something that must be felt, not thought. Feel, then, my intent to send you love through this article. Go to your heart to do this.
As you open your heart to feel my love, you may notice a barrier. Most of you have this. It is a barrier to block painful experiences from coming into your aura. In the process of blocking pain, you also block love from those of us from “above.” We are not better than you, of course, just more experienced in opening ourselves to the oneness that is all. When you encounter this barrier, slow down and ask yourselves, “Where did I deviate from my path? How can I let go of control and now receive that which I desire?” Let the answers flow into your consciousness. Do not try to reason them out. Above all, do not try to do this without our help. Come to us in meditation for assistance.
Whatever thoughts or answers come, do not analyze them or try to change yourself. Do not struggle to think about things in order to arrive at the right conclusion. That is the old way of effort. Allow this process to be effortless—that is the way of love. It is the way of receiving, and receiving is what you are here to do today. Today is the day I have come to give you the gift of peace. Let the knowledge simply flow through you, showing you once again where to connect with your feelings. When you can feel the images, unite with them—that is where the healing is, that is where the truth is.
As you let go of the old patterns of defenses, resentments, judgments and anger, you will notice a significantly lighter feeling surrounding and filling your heart. This does not mean that all your old hurts have gone. It is only that you have now received the reassurance and support you asked for in order to move ahead and heal these old hurts. It is the confidence of faith, the knowing of my presence and the presence of others around you, giving you love that will sustain you in your desire to move ahead to embrace love.
As you move on and face your fears and hurts, we are with you. We are loving you. We are one. We too will feel your hurt with you and help you let go and heal. Did you know it was not your job alone to let go? Of course not. We would never ask you to do this alone. It is what others in your world tell you you must do. Those others have no idea of the power of our love. No, we ask only that you are willing to give up your desire to do things alone. It is only the ego that will tell you that you cannot get the credit for winning if you do not go through the hardship by yourself. Where is the credit or the gain in being in pain?
I ask you, why would you want to do this alone? Is it the fear that if you ask for help, it will not be there? Why would we tell you to lean on us and then abandon you? I tell you, we could not! It is not in our makeup to do so. We were not created that way. Let go, then, of your burden and receive our help; relax into love and into harmony. Let this peace fill your heart and surrender to the naked knowledge that you are loved—unabashedly, unreservedly. Wholly and completely, you are loved. Let us nurture you. We have ways of giving to you that you could not imagine. Simply let us love you as you are.
Each choice in your life will stimulate a feeling in your heart center. At times, the feelings stimulated will show you old patterns of fear or old patterns of interaction that do not serve you. When this occurs, move into the heart space fully to embrace the feeling that is stirring there. Though there be pain or fear, there is also faith, joy and love. All these things your heart contains at once. Let your heart be your guide as the opening process gently gains momentum. Let it flow and be one with us. Let our love flow into you, as if it were beautiful music entering your ears and filling your being with joy. It is effortless to listen to music; let it be effortless to fill your body with love.
Moving fully into the heart space is a way of being. Begin organizing your life around a state of being. You will gain nothing by occupying yourself with empty activities when you are in fear or pain. These things fill your time but do not fill your heart, and they rob you of joy. They are only a temporary distraction from your true state of affairs within. Go to your heart now and rest. Find the peace that is there for you, the peace that is at the core of you, the peace that tells you you are loved.
Imagine yourself in a serene place. Breathe in fully and enjoy the state of grace that is offered to you from above. Visualize with me now a beach, the mountains or a simple chair in the middle of a beautiful garden. Breathe in fully the scents that surround you there. Relax your body and your mind. Let time pass.
