The Wounded Child

“The ‘wounded child’ within each of us contains the damaged or stunted emotional patterns of our youth, patterns of painful memories, of negative attitudes, and of dysfunctional self-images. Unknowingly, we may continue to operate within these patterns as adults, albeit in a new form.

Fear of abandonment, for example, becomes jealousy.  Sexual abuse becomes dysfunctional sexuality, often causing a repetition of the same violations with our own children.

A child’s negative self-image can later become the source of dysfunctions such as anorexia, obesity, alcoholism, and other addictions as well as obsessive fear of failure.  These patterns can damage our emotional relationships, our personal and professional lives, and our health.

Loving oneself begins with confronting this archetypal force within the psyche and unseating the wounded child’s authority over us.  If unhealed, wounds keep us living in the past.

To discover and love ourselves is the essential key to finding the happiness that we are convinced lies outside of ourselves but that spiritual texts remind us is only found within.  Too many people are frightened of knowing themselves, convinced that self-knowledge would mean living alone, without their current friends and partners. While the short-term effect of self-knowledge may well cause changes, its long-term developments — fueled by consciousness, not fear– will be more fulfilling.

We begin the formidable task of getting to know ourselves by discovering our emotional nature — not in relation to anyone or anything, but in relation to ourselves alone. This is the only way to empower your heart.

With or without anyone else playing a primary role, a person needs to know: What do I like?  What do I love? What makes me happy? What do I need for balance?  What are my strengths?  Can I rely upon myself? What are my weaknesses? Why do I do the things I do? What makes me need the attention and approval of others?  Am I strong enough to be close to another person and still honor my own emotional needs?

The path to the empowered heart will demand great effort.  As you identify your wounds, have someone ‘witness’ them and their influence upon your development.  Identify the good that can and has come from your wounds.  Take on the challenge of forgiveness.  Finally, live in love, appreciation and gratitude. In the language of Jesus, ‘Leave the dead and get on with your life.’ And as Buddha taught, ‘There is only now.’

By discovering who you are, you will discover what your heart needs. The only path toward spiritual consciousness is through the heart.  That truth is not negotiable, no matter what spiritual tradition one chooses as a means to know the Divine.  Love is Divine Power. ”

Helping Others

“We align ourselves more with the Source Energy perspective and agenda when we are helping humanity. We know that we are in alignment when we are being of service, and we can feel more of Source Energy flowing through us. We feel more alive.

You all can have that same experience from helping anyone there on Earth, whether they be in human, plant, animal, or mineral form. When you even seek to be of service, you are aligning with Source and accessing more of the energy of Source.

Therefore, do not stop the flow of Source Energy by lamenting the fact that you cannot do more or that you do not know what to do in a particular situation. Stay in the flow of Source by continuing to focus on the fact that you want to help, and know that you can align with us, you can align with Mother Earth, you can align with the sun, you can align with Source, or you can align with any number of collectives, councils, and even individual beings who are higher dimensional and who want to help.

You don’t have to figure it all out, and that is what trips many of you up. Some people give up before they even get started on that pursuit of service because of the limitations of the human mind,

limitations that tell you that you are only one person and ideas such as, ‘How could I ever make the impact I want to make as one single, solitary human being?’

You are never alone, and you are always more aligned with the forces of light when you maintain your desire and your intention to help.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

Using The Law Of Attraction

“The Law of Attraction is responding to your thought, not to your current reality. When you change the thought, your

reality must follow suit. If things are going well for you, then focusing upon what is happening now will cause the well-being to continue, but if there are things happening now that are not pleasing,

you must find a way of taking your attention away from those unwanted things.

You have the ability to quickly change your patterns of thought, and eventually… your life experience.

Take 15 minutes daily, thinking of pleasant scenarios regarding your body, with the sole intent of enjoying your body and appreciating its strength and stamina and flexibility and beauty.

When you visualize for the joy of visualizing rather than with the intention of correcting some deficiency, your thoughts are more pure and, therefore, more powerful. When you visualize overcoming something that is wrong, your thoughts are diluted with the ‘lackful’ side of the equation. In time, your physical condition will acquiesce to your dominant thoughts.”

Abraham-Hicks, Excerpted from the book  Money and the Law of Attraction

To Be Present – A Joy of Its Own

“Anticipation.  It can be joyous and full of excitement, or unwanted and full of dread.

Yes, it is the human way to look toward the future, but in so doing you miss the finer details of what is here and now.  Being present is a practice.

The mind wanders back to the past and forward to the future.

To be present brings a joy of its own when you set the intention of seeing the beauty, the goodness, the love that is all around you, if you will tame the roaming mind.

Now is fresh and new when you see what presents itself in and as Awareness for what it is, not what it has been in the past and what it might be in the future.”

You are so very loved.
