I have just finished reading an interesting article written about The Power of Blessing and our internal guidance. I wish Connie all the best for her future and thank and bless her for allowing us into her life and sadness. It is amazing how it takes something “huge” to happen in our lives to bring our focus back to where it should be ……….. Please enjoy Connie’s story.
The Power of Blessing
Posted on February 5th, 2010
I was recently reminded of one of the most powerful spiritual tools of all, blessing others and situations regardless of circumstances. And as life goes, a situation recently flowed into my life allowing me to exercise this truth at a much greater level than ever before.
In January, my mother passed on, and the circumstances surrounding this event gave me insurmountable opportunities to bless or condemn certain family members involved. My initial instinct was to focus my energy on protecting my mother by standing for what I believed was right and true.
However, after a period of time the details of the wrongs that took place consumed my every thought leaving me feeling sad and angry. It took a car accident and several sleepless nights to change my course and start blessing this situation and the people involved. Perhaps you can relate…
Let’s face it, family can be the most challenging to bless, forgive, and love. This is especially true with ones we have negative past experiences with. The best part is that when we consciously shift our energy it changes the dynamics in our life.
To assist myself during these bumps in the road, I created effective ways to get myself back on track with my inner being. One of my favorites is watching my Abraham-Hicks DVD’s. It’s uncanny how the messages I need to hear are always the ones that come forth helping me release my negative emotions and bless once again.
A cool thing about giving blessings is that they literally clear out the gunk in our hearts, minds, and lives that attract negative situations and emotions such as worry, frustration, fear, conflict, and anger. I like to think of it as detoxifying and optimizing my inner self.
Blessing, simply stated, is a conscious action of our will to send positive energy to someone or a situation. It has nothing to do with right and wrong or justice whatsoever. It’s only about us choosing the energy that we want matched and returned in our own lives.
By choosing to sincerely bless others we also disable the power to bring harm in our lives. Circumstances and people will change or naturally flow out of our lives due to the energies not matching.
In closing, blessing is a powerful tool, a gift free of charge to everyone. However, I also believe there is a great cost to us and to our lives to withhold blessings by refusing to give them to others for whatever reasons.
It all comes down to the daily choices we make in our lives regarding our families, jobs, and relationships. The cumulative effects of these choices result in us living miserable or happy lives. One clue is how much we smile each day.
The beautiful thing about God is that each of us can choose to change this at any time by sincerely blessing others and situations in our lives. And so it is…
Blessings to each of you,
Connie
