Nature Walks with Reiki

9/2/2020

0 Comments

 
​The benefits of walking in nature are numerous. Some of these benefits include the following:
-helps improve cardiovascular health
-assists with reducing stress and anxiety
-improves well-being and uplifting one’s mood and can be especially helpful when experiencing a traumatic life circumstance like a health issue, or the transition of a loved one or a relationship issue.
-can help decrease high blood pressure
-helps bring stillness to the mind
-grounding
-can assist with opening and developing one’s senses by observing the sights and sounds of nature
-feeling more connected to Spirit which also boosts creativity

With such benefits to the body and mind, walking in nature can also assist with speeding up the healing/recovery process. Being outdoors in nature brings clarity of mind. Especially when we let go of everything that may be on our minds for a while, and become aware of and observe our surroundings in nature. From the wind’s gentle breeze, to the rustling sound of leaves and the warm sun on your back. The brilliant colorful flowers, the sweet song of a bird overhead, the soft green grass and strong-rooted trees, all with their vibrancy and aliveness is something to appreciate. Taking a nature walk helps us to see our lives and experiences from a higher perspective. It helps us connect more deeply with our inner peace, our Spirit, that reminds us that “All is Well.”

I love walking in nature on a daily basis. No matter how I am feeling before taking my walk, I always feel more uplifted and renewed during and after my nature walk. I also have found that much intuitive guidance comes during these walks. When the mind becomes still, the inspiration (in-spirit) flows. And adding Reiki to a walk in nature boosts the intuitive guidance even more, since the Reiki energy helps us to connect more deeply with the wisdom of our Spirit.
​Incorporating Reiki into a Nature Walk
Nature Walks with Reiki by Maya Bringas, Holy Fire III ReikiI love walking along this trail regularly
I love to connect with Reiki on my walks. I have noticed that by doing so, I feel even more grounded, relaxed, peaceful, more in tune with Spirit, and it boosts creative ideas. Reiki nature walks are very balancing, grounding, healing and empowering.

Before I set off on my walk in nature, I call on Reiki. Though some parts may vary at different times depending on what I’m feeling Reiki guiding me to use (symbols etc.) at the moment, the following are typically the steps I follow.







​Steps that I Follow as Suggested Ideas for Taking a Walk in Nature with Reiki
  • I place my hands in gassho (prayer position) and ask that my personality/ego be set aside so that I am a clear and open channel for the Reiki energy.
  • I ask Reiki to be with me and flow through me during my walk and to guide, heal, and ground me. And if I have any stress or worries, I ask that it all be lifted away during my walk.
  • I place the Holy Fire® master symbol in the palms of my hands, repeating its name silently three times. I then do the same with the Usui mental/emotional symbol, and often add the Karuna I fourth symbol, and Karuna II third and fourth symbols as well. I then place all of these symbols in my chakras and all around me. I find that the Holy Fire® is very empowering, nurturing, grounding, soothing energy that quickens the harmonizing/balancing/healing process and strengthens the other symbols. It helps to connect deeply to our true Self.
  • Next I silently say the name of the mental/emotional symbol and visualize it on the bottoms of each foot and visualize a large image of this symbol in front of me. The meaning of this symbol in Japanese is to create a new habit. So it is wonderful with helping to heal old patterns, habits, and thoughts that are not serving our highest good and to create healthy new habits. It is helpful with balancing the nervous system and both sides of the brain and body (yin/yang). It helps with bringing balance to all areas of our lives. This symbol assists with releasing any kind of distress such as worry, fear, grief, and anger.
  • Using this symbol on nature walks can help bring greater levels of harmonizing and balancing to the whole body/mind/spirit and brings with it more calming and relaxing energies. I find it to be grounding as well.
  • I visualize a large image of the Karuna II third symbol (inner peace, being centered in the now moment) in front of me, visualize the Karuna II fourth symbol in the legs (grounding and manifesting), and the Karuna I fourth symbol at the bottoms of each foot (grounding, clarity of mind, harmonizing, manifesting).
  • Then I say to myself something like, “I surrender to the loving power of Reiki to guide me and assist me,” as I begin my walk.
  • I let Reiki guide me where to go on my walks. I will feel which way to turn and which path to take by feeling a pull in a certain direction. 
  • Silently in my mind, I often greet the trees, plants, flowers, etc., and thank them for their beauty, love, and healing energies.
  • As I observe and tune into the wonders of nature, I will often times invoke the mental/emotional and Holy Fire® master symbols again by thinking their names and/or visualizing them. Sometimes I repeat their names in a mantra like fashion. Or sometimes I simply think “Reiki.” This is also helpful to do if I notice myself getting distracted with thoughts. Bringing Reiki to mind, returns it to stillness and back to the present moment so that I return my attention to nature. I then give thanks to Reiki and the symbols for their assistance as I continue along my way.
  • At times during my walk, I place my inner attention on my feet, and visualize the mental/emotional symbol on the bottoms of my feet as I feel the bottoms of them grounding firmly to the earth.
  • I bring attention to my breath at times and breathe in and give thanks to the fresh air and my breath. I gently stretch my muscles and if I notice any achiness anywhere, I visualize the emotional/mental and Holy Fire® master symbol in that location. This brings soothing comfort, release and relaxation to that area.
  • During my Reiki nature walks, I take a moment to visualize the Holy Fire® surrounding and filling my whole body and this feels so wonderful!
  • As I tune into nature, I give thanks to the beauty that I see around me, and the songs of nature that I hear.
  • At the end of my walks, I feel refreshed and I give thanks to Reiki and to nature.

I do love my Reiki nature walks. They enhance my time in nature and deepen the relaxing, healing, harmonizing, and balancing benefits that nature has to offer.

​You may wish to incorporate these ideas and bring the loving power of Reiki into your nature walks. When invoking Reiki and/or any symbols, do what works for you. You can visualize the symbols, state their names, draw them over the body, or you may have other ways too. Follow your inner guidance and let Reiki lead the way on your walks! And have fun!

Awaken to Love

5/13/2020

I share below, an article I wrote for Mosaic Mind, Body, and Spirit E-Magazine. To read more interesting articles on various topics related to spirituality, you can also sign-up for their free e-magazine at www.mosaicmagazine.ca.
Awaken to Love by Maya Bringas
In A Course in Miracles, Jesus (the narrator) tells us, "You are at home in God, dreaming of exile but capable of awakening to reality” (T-10.I.2).

Jesus reminds us that right now we are safe in God (our Source/unconditional Love) where we never left. The world and bodies we see are just a projection of the mind. It’s all just a dream that we have separated from our Source. Our reality is that as an extension of God's Love, we are formless, Spirit, perfect unconditional Love. Only Love is real and there is nothing outside of us.
​
The Course teaches us about the importance of not making the dream real in our minds. With this awareness, we still do the same normal activities in our daily lives. We still enjoy the world. The change we make is at the level of the mind (cause) and not on the physical (effect). It’s about how we view the world and everything in it and what meaning and purpose we give to it. We can make it a happy dream or an unhappy one. Moment to moment each day, there are two ways we can choose in our minds what we want to identify ourselves as. We can see ourselves as Spirit sees us, as Love and One with All at Home in God (Truth/reality), or as the ego sees us, as bodies and being separate from others and God (dream/unreal).

By not making the dream real in our minds and choosing to remember our true reality as Love, we recognize that all is truly well and that there are no problems. How we see another is how we see ourselves and it also reinforces our belief in who we think we are at the deepest level of our being.

True forgiveness, (which relinquishes judgement and recognizes the wholeness and innocence of all of us, as perfect Love) is what A Course in Miracles teaches and it becomes easier to practice as holding onto grievances only brings turmoil.

“You who were created by love like itself can hold no grievances and know your Self. To hold a grievance is to forget who you are. To hold a grievance is to see yourself as a body. To hold a grievance is to let the ego rule your mind and to condemn the body to death.” (From Lesson 68 of the Course).

We can use whatever appears as problems that show up in our experience, as opportunities to practice forgiveness and to reinforce in our minds our true reality as Love. Whatever upsets us in the dream, has been projected to reveal to us the false beliefs we still hold within about who we think we are. We are not our bodies. So, instead of attacking the projection that was created from false beliefs, we can choose to forgive everyone and the projection which results in healing for everyone.

Implementing the teachings of the Course in my daily life over the years, has resulted in much inner transformation and deeper healing. As I began to see things differently, with Spirit's loving guidance and vision, I was able to let go of many old grievances. It has now also become an automatic process to practice true forgiveness, so that I don't get stuck in fear (judgement) and what is not our Truth.

When I notice myself feeling troubled, I pause, take a step back and just observe. I recognize that I was feeling this way as a result of slipping back into thinking with the ego’s thought system of fear which I did not want, rather than Spirit’s thought system of love. I then make the choice for love once again, which undoes the belief in separation. I hand-over whatever is bothering me to Spirit and ask Spirit to help me to heal the root cause of the condition that created it in the first place (which is always the belief that we are separate from our Source). It is important that when we notice ourselves judging, to not judge ourselves for doing so, but instead be kind and loving to ourselves. I also find it helpful to remember that the thoughts that arise in the mind are just that. Thoughts. They are not who I am. I can observe them without attachment and let them go.

I then envision all involved (another person and/or myself), as the radiant Light and Love that they are. I remember that (on the deepest level of our being) that person is me and that we are the same Spirit, and One in God’s Love. This really helps and works quickly to dissolve any upsetting feeling. Sometimes I even giggle to myself at the whole thing, about how the ego tries to make everything so serious and real.

By forgiving everything and everyone, we don’t make the dream of separation real in our minds and we save ourselves much time and unnecessary suffering. We awaken to our reality of love.

Staying Centered to Spirit during Times of Challenge

4/7/2020

0 Comments

 
During times of challenge, it is even more important for us to be centered and grounded to our inner Spirit. With the many shifts and changes we are all experiencing in our daily routines and lives at this time, our ever-present true Self--our Higher Spirit Self, the calm and quiet presence within--is always there to teach us, lead us, and show us the way. It is during times like these that it is vital to  listen to and follow the guidance of Spirit, our Inner Teacher of Peace.

This is such an opportune time to commit to and deepen the cultivation of the practice of presence in our daily lives. In regards to the coronavirus pandemic, yes we each take the necessary precautions to keep ourselves, families, and others safe and healthy, and do what feels best and comfortable for us in the outer world.

​At the same time, at the level of the mind, our inner world, we can choose how we look at things and what we would like to focus on. We choose what we want to listen to or focus on from outside sources and what we communicate and express, and also on what we choose to focus upon from within as well. And we can look at it all with compassion, love, and understanding. We can move through this global experience and each and every one of life's experiences (there really is no difference) through presence, peace, and with Spirit.
Staying Centered to Spirit During Times of Challenge by Maya Bringas

Spirit is readily available to support us at all times and in all ways. There is no problem that is too big or too small and Spirit recognizes that all problems are really the same and that there is always just one solution. LOVE.

There is a lovely lesson (# 21) from A Course in Miracles, 
"I am determined to see things differently." We can always choose how to view any situation, problem, person, the self, or anything. We can look at it through the vision of Spirit (love) or through fear (ego/judgement).

When there are times that I observe that I am not feeling complete peace, I remind myself of this statement from A Course in Miracles. When I remember that I can see the particular situation differently, choose how I want to feel and at the same time I release any judgement in how I am feeling and what is occurring, a shift occurs right away. The weight is lifted when I choose to see it all through love instead.

By being willing and determined to see things differently, we open ourselves to Spirit to gently take us by the hand, and lead us to seeing things differently, through peace, love, and harmony. We no longer choose to feel stuck. We can ask Spirit to help us to see whatever is causing us any distress, through Love and divine Truth. As we do so, judgement falls away and we remember once again who we, everyone, and everything truly is. Perfect, whole, complete, divine. That is what we are.


This is truly a time of transformation on the planet when we all have the opportunity to whole-heartedly make the choice to stay anchored to our true Self/Spirit, to release judgement and replace it with compassion for ourselves and all others, and to be truly helpful. Let us make the choice to stay committed to living our magnificence!

Blessing the Mind, Body, and Water with Unconditional Love and Mother Mary

1/28/2019

0 Comments

 
While sitting in quiet stillness/meditation some time ago, I called upon the Divine Mother, Mother Mary, to connect with her loving energy. During that time my whole being was infused with beautiful, divine, radiant, sparkly pink light. Like pink diamond light. It was simply divine, blissful, loving, peaceful, and uplifting. The energy has always been experienced as such whenever I have connected with her divine energy. During that particular meditation and deep experience with this divine pink light, some inner guidance from Mother Mary came through as well, as to how to use this divine light of unconditional love to nurture, bless, and support the mind and body. And also, how to bless water (drinking water, bathing water, bodies of water) with divine unconditional love. I now share these simple methods with you which are very beneficial for nurturing body, mind, and spirit.
Blessing the Mind, Body, and Water with Unconditional Love and Ascended Master Mother Mary, by Maya Bringas
A Course in Miracles, Maya Bringas, Ascended Master Mother Mary
Mother Mary is an Ascended Master and represents and is a symbol of the unconditional love of the Divine. She is available to assist anyone and everyone for assistance, guidance, and support. One does not need to have any specific spiritual or religious beliefs to call upon her. Unconditional love is open to all! Representing unconditional love, her energy is always gentle, deeply comforting, soothing, and uplifting.  On a deeper level, when we connect with the essence of the Divine Mother, we are connecting with the loving, nurturing mother, the divine feminine energy, that resides within all of us. This essence is already and eternally a part of us since the essence of what we are is divine unconditional love. Mother Mary assists with all issues especially those related to healing, self-love/divine love, forgiveness, grief, and self-empowerment. To read more detailed info about the support she offers to mankind, and a little about some of my earlier life experiences and how she had assisted me, you can read an article I wrote a couple years ago, “The Healing Power of Mother Mary.” Click here to read.

You can also call upon Mother Mary for additional support and assistance, if you so wish, when implementing any of the methods mentioned below. Simply call upon her in your mind and she will be there with you to assist in connecting with the energy of unconditional love and aligning to the love that you are. For example, when bringing in the divine pink light into your body (as mentioned in the exercise below), you can state and affirm in your mind something like, “Thank you Mother Mary for assisting me now in infusing my body, mind, and whole being with the divine pink light of unconditional love. I feel great joy and gratitude as my mind, all the cells of my body and every part of me, and all my thoughts are filled with and aligned to the divine unconditional love that I AM.” That is just an example, you can modify the words if you like.      ​
"Divine Love energizes each of the cells of the body. It heals mind and body. Love is the energy that heals all fear, judgement and suffering. It is the living force that can heal the planet and the entire universe. Source is unconditional love. This Divine Love is the source of all healing and it is a part of all of us as we are not separate from Source. Love is what we are.
It is our true, inherent essence."
Energizing, Blessing, and Aligning the Mind and Body to Unconditional Love
Visualize/sense/intend in your mind, with your eyes closed, that the divine pink light of divine unconditional love is filling all levels of your whole being (body, mind, spirit, all dimensions). You can visualize the light of divine love flowing from above into the top of your crown energy center at the top of your head, and slowly filling your whole body from top to bottom. You are energizing and nourishing every part of yourself with unconditional love. Visualize the light of unconditional love filling the cells of your body. All the cells of your body, all your organs, and every part of your body, mind, and your whole being is energized with and aligned to divine unconditional love. Spend some moments enjoying this time of quiet inner stillness and FEEL every part of you aligning to and immersing in unconditional love. Perhaps you see the pink light also extending outwards around you. You can sit or lay down in a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed for some time to do this exercise. Spending even a short while doing this exercise each morning is a wonderful way to begin your day feeling empowered, uplifted, energized and grounded to love. You can do it throughout the day as well, especially if you feel you would like an extra boost to keep your mind/thoughts centred to unconditional love and to bless your body. See yourself as energy which holds the vibration of unconditional love wherever you are.
A Course in Miracles, Maya Bringas
Blessing/Energizing Water
Drinking Water
Holding a glass of water, visualize the water being infused with the divine pink light of unconditional love. Visualize/intend that all the water molecules are being energized with unconditional love. Then enjoy drinking your glass of love-infused blessed water which blesses your body and mind. I also do this when I drink herbal tea. You can do this with your children's drinking water as well and with food. And also for watering your plants and the drinking water of animals and your pets. They love it too!

Bathing Water
While taking a bath, take a moment to visualize the pink light of unconditional love filling all the water molecules. Intend that the water cleanse and bless you on all levels (physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually).
  

Other Water Bodies
Visualize the divine pink light of unconditional love filling the oceans, rivers, lakes etc. When you sit by a lake for example, visualize the light and unconditional love energizing all the molecules of water. It then also blesses all the various life forms that inhabit the lake. See rain and all water in this way. Water is so abundant on the planet. It is so important for both body and mind and for all life on Earth. "Utilize water as a conduit of unconditional love to nurture and bless yourself, all life, and Mother Earth."
Blessing the Mind, Body, and Water with Unconditional Love and Ascended Master Mother Mary
I really enjoy using these simple and very effective tools daily. I always feel bliss, inner peace, comforted and uplifted by doing so and grounded to this divine love. It also helps to clear the mind and brings stillness and calm to it. Enjoy using these spiritual tools too! If you have children, you may like to show them how to use these empowering methods as well. Feel free to share in the box below how these tools are working for you.

Love is What Heals

12/1/2018

0 Comments

 
The heart is the gateway to your True Self. The divine heart of the One Source that resides within us all, knows only Truth. It does not question, it does not seek. It simply knows. It listens in silence, it speaks with strength, and it loves with every pulsating beat. No restrictions, no reservations. It simply extends and flows, generously unhindered.

The divine heart seeks not approval, for it knows what it is. It knows only unconditional love. It embraces all and invites love within. Love is always the answer, no matter the question. By truly loving the self, you become a pillar of love. Sadness and grief, worry and despair, uncertainty and fear, dissolve when touched by the love you hold within. And no matter what is experienced within one’s life experience or in the physical body, when there is unconditional love for the self, any inner suffering is always transformed into peace. 

Tuning in daily to the divine heart is essential. The physical vessel’s natural, vibrational, default setting is to the frequency of divine love. It resonates wholly to love. When aspects of the physical vessel, become out of tune/balance, whether it’s experienced in the mind, the physical or energy bodies, a return to love is what brings it back to its natural frequency and experience of well-being.

Whatever method/therapy/form one uses for healing, the underlying essence at the heart of all true and permanent healing is love. Healing is release from fear and occurs at the level of the mind. Sometimes people wonder why healing in some circumstances is temporary. One’s sense of well-being may not seem to last, or perhaps one’s symptoms/health condition may be gone for a while and then reappear. We have free will of what thoughts we choose to believe. Sometimes a person may ignore the inner voice of love, and not yet be willing to permanently release former unloving thought or behavioral patterns, therefore resisting fully embracing love’s presence. In such instances, there is a return to identification with separation and the false self. One might not be ready to release unforgiveness, guilt, judgement etc. Therefore, distress/symptoms may reoccur to get the person’s attention that an internal shift from fear to love is required.

In other cases, a person may practice unconditional love, with symptoms alleviated or disappearing completely, while the condition may or may not disappear. The body doesn’t know the divine plan for the soul, but the heart/Spirit does. It is therefore important not to judge what’s happening in the body, nor blame nor be critical of the self. Release any expectation of a specific result. Inner peace and well-being is what healing provides and is possible no matter what’s happening in the body. Being gentle, patient, forgiving, and loving with the self is the divine heart’s guidance. When there is a willingness and commitment to choose love, you can trust and know that the love of the divine heart will always take care of you and keep you well.

Differentiating Between Intuition and the Ego

11/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Our intuition is guidance from the Higher Spirit Self. The mind has two parts/thought systems. Spirit is one and is the voice of love. Spirit knows only our divine Truth that we are perfect love and that only love is real. The other part of the mind, the ego, is illusory. The ego is not an entity nor a thing, but rather just the idea that we are separate from our Source. Its thought system is fear-based and is totally flawed as we are not separate from Source. The ego is the inner critic/false self which judges everyone and everything. Abundance, unity, and wholeness are part of Spirit’s thought system. Lack, separation, and limitation are part of the ego’s thought system.   

Since the part of the mind we choose to follow at any given moment effects how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world, listening to Spirit’s guidance (our intuition) enables us to experience and enjoy life from Spirit’s true vision of peace, love, non-judgement, harmony, and freedom.
​

How do you know if specific thoughts and ideas in your mind are guidance from Spirit or the ego? When they are from Spirit, they are loving, gentle, kind, and uplifting in nature. Any guidance that Spirit offers always result in positive outcomes for our well-being and anyone else concerned. Spirit gives us solutions on how to forgive and eliminate fear and judgement, and brings us clarity. We may feel a burst of joy when we receive inspiring ideas. If the thoughts and ideas are unloving, judgemental, or condemn anyone including the self, then they are from the ego.

The guidance received from Spirit may not always necessarily be what one wants to hear at the time. If there are expectations of what it should be, to match what you think you want, this is judgement and a control mechanism of the ego. If Spirit’s guidance is then ignored, it may lead to some confusion and doubt.

If unsure if the guidance is from Spirit or the ego, you can ask for clarification from Spirit and wait awhile. Let go of thinking about it for some time and to clear the mind, trusting that Spirit will bring you the clarification in divine timing. When we spend time being in silence and the mind becomes still, the intuitive guidance comes through clearly. Also, Spirit’s guidance will most likely stay the same a few days later, but that from the ego can change, even often.

We have so many thoughts that arise in the mind each day. Each moment, we always have the choice which inner voice to listen to. When I made the choice to listen to and follow only Spirit and have stayed committed to doing so everyday, the voice of the ego became much weaker. Like a muscle that gets stronger when we exercise it, when we are dedicated to listening to and following our intuition, the stronger our communication with Spirit and it becomes our clear, dominant, guiding light. ​

The Power of Stillness in Conversation

10/1/2018

0 Comments

 
The Power of Stillness in Conversation, by Maya Bringas
There is great power in the quiet stillness within. I was recently listening to an audio lecture by Eckhart Tolle, that reminded me that we are truly helpful to others and ourselves when we remain in our place of inner stillness/presence, whenever we have conversations with others. It seems to be human nature, that when one person in a conversation is speaking, the other may be thinking about how to respond rather than letting the mind be still and fully present. The listener brings the mind out of the now moment, and listening with the ego instead of presence/Spirit, becomes focussed on the future response.

When the mind is still, any thoughts/words that arise from the part of the mind where Spirit dwells, rather than our own mind, is always most truly helpful. Sometimes no thoughts/words arise. In any case, there is always an underlying energy of peace, whether the form of Spirit’s response is through words to offer another or simply stillness. Words are but symbols anyway.

In any situation, whether it be for example, having a conversation with a friend, or a more challenging conversation with someone who is triggered by or acting from an internal unhappiness or upset, whatever the other person is communicating, listening with the non-judgement of Spirit is important. There were some challenging conversations I had in the past where I was at a loss for words. Afterwards, I would often be self-critical for not speaking up for myself or knowing what to communicate at the time. I later came to the realization that in such situations, others were just projecting their own unconscious beliefs about themselves and nothing really had to do with me. We are not responsible for the behavior of others, but are for our perception, and our response (be it verbal or just within the mind). And not making the unreal/illusions (the world and what happens in it) real in the mind. With that insight from Spirit, and a change in perception to seeing through the various forms to the true innocence in all, it was liberating to release the self-judgement and not take things personally, and become more the observer, or awareness, in conversations.
​
We don’t need to know what to say or do, when we let Spirit take charge. We can let go. I find this very comforting and freeing when I remind myself of this and each morning I ask Spirit to be in charge of my thoughts, actions, and day. We don’t have the best answers, but Spirit always does. When we listen mindfully with Spirit, it changes the way we experience conversations. When we are in our place of inner stillness, Spirit can then fully express through us. There is no attachment to outcomes nor a need to have others understand our views. There is no ego involvement. It is important to see each person that comes into our life experience, as the perfect, whole, innocent, divine light that they truly are. Everyone with the same source of wisdom and tools within. In another type of scenario, if you are in the company of or have a conversation with someone who is going through a difficult time, the best gift you can offer is presence. Spirit may or may not offer words for you to verbalize or ideas to act upon. When you join with Spirit’s peace and you perceive the other in his/her true perfection, the peace and well-being extends to that person. All minds are joined. That may be all that is needed to be a truly helpful support in that moment.
Published in Sibyl Magazine: For the Spirit and Soul of Woman, October issue. 

The following is a beautiful passage from A Course in Miracles. I have a copy of the quote printed and on my fridge, and it is a wonderful reminder that all is taken care of when we let Spirit, our Inner Teacher of Peace, take charge.


"I am here only to be truly helpful.
I am here to represent Him Who sent me.
I do not have to worry about what to say or what to do,
because He Who sent me will direct me.
I am content to be wherever He wishes, knowing He goes there with me.
I will be healed as I let Him teach me to heal."

Forgiveness Sets You Free

Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves and it sets us free. When we choose forgiveness, we release the past, and can enjoy living in the eternal now.

Judgement takes many forms. Blaming others or the self for one’s experiences, believing the self or others to be inadequate, guilty, or undeserving, and making comparisons, are just a few examples of judgement. Love and judgement cannot coexist. Only one of these is active at any given moment. Forgiveness is the means to the relinquishment of judgement.

When we truly forgive, we do so at the level of the mind where it is needed, since all arises from the mind. By forgiving the self, another person, or a situation, we are not indicating that a specific behavior or action is ok, but rather we see through the illusion of the world and its seeming separate identities and stories, to the love that is truly there beyond all form. The non-dualistic spiritual principles of A Course in Miracles teaches that the path to inner peace and love is through this true form of forgiveness. All are innocent, and only the love that we are, is real.

We can always, at any moment, make the choice to love, and abandon judgement. Everyone is doing the best they can based on their state of awareness about who they really are. Those who lack self-love and are unhappy deep down, can extend to others only what they feel for themselves and what they believe to be true. Forgiveness though, does not mean that one should tolerate or be subjected to the unloving nature of a situation or behavior of another.

A very helpful tool that you can use is to bring your conscious awareness outside the illusion/world and to perceive a situation as an observer looking in. This makes it easier to detach from a situation and bring your awareness to the stillness within. Like watching a movie, you observe the characters with relatively no strong attachment. Taking such a perspective when observing the stories happening in your life, results in a greater understanding and compassion for the various characters.

Spirit, our inner teacher of peace, always assists with forgiveness, we just need to ask. Our true essence is light, free, and unconditional love. Forgiveness uplifts your vibration and permanently disconnects you from suffering. Nothing on the level of form, outside of the mind, needs to be done, unless there is specific guidance from Spirit to do so. Forgiveness and commitment to the daily practice of non-judgement accelerates the undoing of the ego, which cannot survive without judgement.

Forgiveness is an act of nurturing unconditional self-love. Forgiving another is really forgiving yourself. When the painful life stories and characters are forgiven, whatever was based on divine, unconditional love, always remains. Those that were not rooted in divine love naturally fall away on their own. This creates an opening for more of that which is based on love to come into your life.

PS. The tool I mention in this article in which you bring your mind's awareness outside of the world/illusion is also very helpful in other types of situations. For example, if you are experiencing any discomfort, anxiety, or other forms of distress. It assists with mindfully stepping outside of a situation and bringing your awareness to your true eternal home with Source, where all is well. In this space (outside the level of form and where you are forever One with Source) only perfect peace, love, stillness, and well-being exists. Connecting with your true essence in this manner, and by being the observer of a particular situation, helps to return equilibrium to the physical form. Use the breath at the same time. Breathing slowly, gently, and deeply into the body assists with bringing soothing comfort and calm to the mind, and in turn brings gentle release and tranquility to all aspects of the physical body. This powerful exercise also helps to feel more grounded. If you work with or attuned to any vibrational therapies like Metatronia Therapy®, incorporating it with this exercise when any distress is experienced, can bring additional support for quicker relief, healing, and re-alignment to your true Self.

Unveil Your Magnificence!

8/4/2018

0 Comments

 
Do you know how magnificent you are? Exactly as you are right now. You are a magnificent, bright, shining, light! There is nothing that you nor I need to fix about ourselves. Awakening isn’t about becoming something, but rather shifting the perception of who we believe we are, and accepting and simply being the true divine light that we inherently are.

We are as God created us. Perfect, whole, and complete. And like God, our true self has no lack, limitation nor flaws. We may have forgotten for awhile who we really are, but this has not changed our true essence. In a way, it is like amnesia that comes over us when we emerge into this time/space dream world causing us to forget our true self. And then the time comes when we begin to remember. Perhaps glimpses at first. Then the more that we remember, the more our light becomes evident to us. The veil that was simply cloaking, but never diminishing the light, then becomes thinner.

Removing any blocks to the awareness and appreciation that your true self is already perfect, divine love is what is key, so that you can just be and express your true magnificent self. When I began to change my perception of who I was, which is the same as who we all are, a great sense of freedom followed. It was also a much more empowering way of perceiving the self knowing that I didn’t have to change myself or become anything different. There was nothing wrong with me. I just needed to be who I already truly was. God created us as the perfect light that we are, have always been, and will always be, and so we don’t need to change this. We just need to align to our true essence and embrace our magnificence.

The blocks which are the false beliefs about the self, are like layers of debris or dust that cloak an eternal, bright, radiant, light. There may be a thick or thin layer covering this light, but that doesn’t matter. As each layer is removed, the veil of debris becomes thinner and the light which has always been there, shines through and becomes more visible. And the more layers that are removed, the easier and quicker it is for the remaining ones to be removed.

What is important is the willingness for the layers to be lifted away. Sometimes people worry that it is too much work, that they are too old to let go of old beliefs, or are even fearful to discover how amazing they are. They give up and don’t allow the miracle to occur. However, once one is willing to remove the layers, that gives Spirit the permission to assist the process and it opens the door to alignment to one’s true magnificence.

You are love and are completely loved by the Divine. Are you ready to recognize this and fully embrace the magnificence that you are?

Recipe for True and Lasting Inner Peace

6/20/2018

I want to share what I call my Recipe for True and Lasting Inner Peace, which helped me to transform my life and how I experience the world. It also continues to do so, through my commitment to practice it.

The recipe has just two ingredients:  Unconditional Love (practicing non-judgement of the self and others) + True Forgiveness (release of judgement of the self and others)


Unconditional Love + True Forgiveness= True and Lasting Peace & Healing

It is based on the principle that the practice of relinquishing judgement in our daily lives is not only essential, but is the fast-track to awakening from the dream of separation and to our true, magnificent, divine Self. I will first briefly share how making the choice to live a life of peace (love-based) instead of judgement (fear-based) brought me a whole new way of perceiving myself and experiencing the world. Bringing me into alignment with the eternal and infinite Oneness that we are all a part of.

My Transformation and Healing with the Recipe

I used to judge myself a lot. I had low self-confidence and self-esteem. I was critical and hard on myself and wanted to do things perfectly. In my mind, I also judged others, situations and events that were happening in the world, and I was concerned that others were judging me. And when I noticed I was judging, I would feel guilty for doing so. Guilt is also another form of judgement! Deep down, I knew that all this judgement didn’t resonate with how I believed life was supposed to be. That there was more to life and that love, appreciation, and compassion were key elements to living a joyful life.
 
In 2008 I began studying A Course in Miracles and have been a dedicated student since. A Course in Miracles is a universal, self-study, non-dualistic spiritual thought system that teaches that the path to inner peace and love is through forgiveness. A Course in Miracles has been and continues to be instrumental in my daily life, as the exercises assist with undoing the false beliefs of the ego (false self) with the full guidance and assistance from the Higher Spirit Self (different people may use various names such as the Higher Self, Holy Spirit, I AM Presence, God-Self, Goddess-Self, Inner Spirit, etc., but they are all referring to the same inner teacher of peace).

The Recipe for True and Lasting Inner Peace uses the same advanced form of forgiveness and love that A Course in Miracles teaches. When I began incorporating the two vital ingredients of the recipe daily, everything starting shifting in my life. It was truly amazing!

As I let go of much judgement of myself and others and began to view everything through the lens of Spirit, the invisible, self-imposed, heavy weight I carried lifted away. As love, appreciation and forgiveness replaced judgement, my relationship with myself and others transformed. My self-confidence and self-esteem boosted. My outer world changed. A much higher level of joy, harmony, and peace resulted in all aspects of my life. Greater trust in the Oneness also followed, knowing that we are always fully supported by Source and we need not worry about anything. Using this recipe, together with Metatronia Therapy
®, also helped with healing a digestive issue.
 
When there is judgement, a misperception about the self, another, or a situation has been made. All judgement is rooted in the false belief that we are separate from Source. All other misperception arises from this belief in separation. All judgement is based on fear, which includes any sense of lack or limitation, guilt, anxiety, distrust, anger, or worry, just to name a few things, and anything that is not based on love.
Self-Love, Metatronia Therapy, Maya Bringas
Choosing to live in alignment to the guidance of the inner teacher of peace has brought me tremendous freedom. By following this recipe over the years and as I am committed to doing so each day, when any judgement arises, it has become a much easier and automatic process to choose to relinquish the judgement and choose love instead. It feels much better to be free, joyful and uplifted by love! Holding onto judgement, creates resistance to aligning with our true divine self. Our willingness to release judgement is the first step and what is key. Once we are willing, we can ask for assistance from the Higher Spirit Self within with the conditions that created the judgement in the first place (the idea of separation). 

So from my personal experience and transformation, I know this recipe works! By releasing judgement and practicing true forgiveness, the false beliefs of the ego unravel and healing and alignment to our true divine Self occurs.

Love and Judgement Can Not Co-Exist. At any moment, only one of these is active.
 
The Two Ingredients:  Unconditional Love and True Forgiveness

Unconditional love is just that, unconditional. There are no conditions placed on the self, anyone else, or anything. It gives and receives freely and completely. To love others unconditionally is to love the self unconditionally. And when we love ourselves unconditionally, nothing but unconditional love can be extended.

What you see within another is what you shall see within you. And what you see within you is what you shall see within others.

To not give unconditional love is to cause suffering within one’s self. For we are the divine unconditional love of Source. It is our true divine nature. To not recognize, be, or extend it, brings suffering.

If you ponder it for a moment, how do you FEEL deep within when you are not loving yourself or withhold from extending love to others? It doesn’t FEEL good. That is because the judgement creates a resistance to what your true Self within knows to be true.

In other words, your true Self knows that you are only love, and nothing else. So if judgement (absence of love) arises, your not feeling good is a way that your true Self is revealing to you that what you are thinking is not true. To accept the love that you are, is to accept your true essence of who you really are. Unconditional love brings freedom.
Recipe for True and Lasting Peace, Maya Bringas,
True forgiveness which our true Self knows to be the only form of forgiveness, recognizes that all are innocent. There is no blame, shame, nor condemnation. With true forgiveness we understand that when we forgive, we do so at the level of the cause (the mind) which is where it’s needed and not the effect. The misperception arises from the belief that we are separate from our Source and others and so the unconscious guilt held within is projected outwards so as to judge/blame/attack others. When we forgive the cause, we forgive ourselves for the misperception we had as well as the projection of it (the effect which is part of the illusory/dream world). With this advanced form of forgiveness we see through the lens of the Higher Spirit Self and recognize our own innocence and all involved. We see past the illusion/dream and see through to what is truly there within everyone and everything which is unconditional love. We are all one with Source which is unconditional love, and so we too are all unconditional love.

We can choose to remember our Oneness with Source and recognize that all that has been projected in the dream has shown up to reveal to us the false beliefs we still hold within about who we think we are. For example, if you believe you are unworthy of love and don’t love yourself unconditionally, this is projected into the world and you may notice a pattern of attracting (mirroring/reflecting back) those who can not express or show love. So instead of attacking the projection that is created from the false beliefs, you can choose to forgive yourself and the projection. You can then heal the root issue at the level of the mind. In this example, it would be healing the lack of self-love and the conditions that created it in the first place, which would again involve, at the root, the choice to believe that you are separate from Source. By loving the self, the projections/mirrors that brought a sense of grief and pain also fall away and are replaced with those that bring a sense of love and joy, as they are a vibrational match for your improved sense of self-love. Like attracts like. This advanced form of forgiveness results in true and lasting peace.

When one moves from living from separation consciousness (judgement/fear-based/lack/limitation) to Oneness consciousness (love-based/eternal/wholeness/unlimited) a whole new way of perceiving and experiencing one's self and the world emerges. You experience life through the lens of the Higher Spirit Self, your inner teacher of peace and experience inner freedom.

The ego can not survive without judgement. As judgement of the self and others falls away, the ego unravels and your true magnificent Self shines through, and takes lead.
 
By integrating these two ingredients of unconditional love and true forgiveness, pain is replaced with peace. And when true and lasting peace is experienced, healing can happen.

Would you like assistance with incorporating this Recipe for True and Lasting Inner Peace into your life so that you can experience greater Freedom, Joy, Balance, and Harmony in all areas of you life and cultivate Blissful Inner Peace? Are you ready to step fully into your Magnificence?

It is truly my joy and pleasure to assist those would like to live fully aligned to their True Divine Essence. The work is on a very deep level, assisting you with nurturing self-love. By working to release the blocks to the awareness of love, your true essence, profound transformation is possible on all levels.

The root cause of all blocks to true and lasting peace, well-being, love, health, joy, and abundance, is the false belief that we are separate from our infinite and eternal Source. The attention is on the present moment, which is where the point of power is, and helping you to improve your relationship with yourself (which in turn also effects your outer world), so that you can move forward with greater ease, grace and self-empowerment.

The sessions are tailored for each client and in consideration with what resonates with you. The guidance/counsel provided also includes empowering spiritual tools you can use in your daily life. As each session is unique to what is coming through at the time  to best support your path and what your current concerns are, the specifics may vary. However, the guidance can assist with issues such as: releasing judgement, letting go of any tendencies of being hard/critical on the self and instead to be gentle, loving, forgiving, and kind to one’s self. Helping you to boost self-love and self-esteem, so that you can be the best, loving support and friend to yourself. Also to help you to feel more empowered to live from your heart so that you can create the life of joy, love, peace, harmony, well-being and abundance, that you desire.

I incorporate this with Metatronia Therapy®/Metatronia Massage vibration. The sacred Metatronia vibration is a high and pure frequency that works very deeply and gently to assist and accelerate the awakening/ascension path. Metatronia Therapy® gently moves you to where you need to be on your path for your highest good, and helping you to come out of the mind and into the heart. The vibration often illuminates deep inner truths and realizations  about the self, bringing greater clarity and upliftment to the mind and whole being. This transformational, yet gentle vibration, assists on very deep levels with releasing from fear-based thoughts and patterns, nurturing self-love, and alignment to Oneness consciousness. It works multi-dimensionally and brings deep support, alignment/healing, cleansing/balancing to the physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, celestial bodies and beyond. It provides support on all levels as you ascend into and embody the divine light that you are. Archangel Metatron brings in divine light and sacred geometric codings, that are unique to each individual’s soul signature for healing and alignment to the unconditional love of Source. Metatronia Therapy® also brings in frequencies to assist you with aligning you to your unique life path/soul’s work.
