Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot – Guest Post by Janice Masters

by | Oct 18, 2010 | Spiritual Awakening

I’ve always loved that phrase from the phenomenally talented singer/songwriter, Sting. I ongoingly experience the value in heeding that advice in my own personal life and my business. My clients experience huge leaps in their Awakening and success when they listen and heed it as well.

So, I think it bears a close look.

I recently coached a client who was struggling with resentment, envy and anger about the success of a former friend and colleague. She had inklings of more positive feelings about all this, but her ego was strongly defended against allowing those positive feelings to flow and to become more conscious. However….she decided to let her Soul be her pilot and she trusted its navigation toward Love. What unfolded was simply beautiful and what she called ‘a small miracle’.

After taking the charge off of her anger, resentment, envy by giving strong, clear voice to them with no resistance (after all, this stuff is ‘only human’) she was able to hear the whispers of her Soul leading her out of darkness and suffering. What she heard that brought her to tears is that she truly loves this person, knows she is a Soul Friend, knows that they are following a Soul Plan of their own making, acknowledges her gifts, and deeply honors her well-deserved success. All of this instantly dissolved the defenses around her heart.

This awareness released her from the prison of her negative, self-justified thoughts and conclusions, and elevated her to the level of her true evolved consciousness—which is remarkably high. Her tears and compassion ‘surprised’ her and dissolved whatever was left of the lower egoic thinking and feeling. She felt cleansed, cleared and softened into her open-hearted vulnerability and ability to love without reservation or condition.

Letting her Soul be her pilot got her to her next destination of Awakened consciousness and Love. Being willing to let go of the controls and be led was all the surrender it required for her to be healed of this residue of ego-driven judgment, justification and competition. She called the transformation that she experienced in less than thirty minutes “a small miracle”. Indeed it was.

In my own life, inviting my Soul to be my pilot brings me to decisions and actions that my ego sometimes bristles at as being too “lenient, wishy-washy, compliant”. But let me tell you, after decades of letting ego make these decisions for me, it is such a blessed relief to allow my Heart and Soul lead the way now. I KNOW when I am Soul-driven vs Ego-driven and I LOVE the path of my Soul and the organically RIGHT feeling of it.

There are other times of course when I have no resistance at all to the whispers of my Soul pilot and recognize the congruence of the message. Recently, I shifted my work to deeper and deeper levels that utilize my gifts more magnificently and powerfully at the prompting of my Soul pilot and absolutely knew the organic truth of that choice.

There is so much resonance for me when I follow the navigational directions of my Soul. I recognize the suffering I incur when I follow ego, and find my way Home to my Soul very quickly these days.

The work of Awakening pays off enormously in relief, feeling good, feeling like myself, and spreading Love around more freely. And in our human form the truth is that we are always in the process of getting ready to listen to our Soul. Whatever wants to be healed and cleared next is what will appear to be ‘in your way’ on your path of Awakening. So hold the intention, shine the light, be ready to receive, and then get out of the way and allow your Soul to tell you your next move!

Wishing you a JOYful journey!

What We Think We Know – The Grace of Not Knowing

by | Sep 2, 2010 | Spiritual Awakening

What do we really know?

If you are like me you have spent years processing your childhood through one method or another. We Baby Boomers are the psychological/spiritual “processors”. We’ve developed and used all sorts of techniques for exploring our inner selves. They have all had their usefulness, I don’t intend any criticism of them. I’ve been one of the biggest “process junkies” of them all.

But what do we really know? What does the past, or our selective memory of our past, have to do with the truth of this moment now? I learned a powerful lesson about this during a weekend retreat I attended recently.

I spent my 20’s doing Primal Therapy focused on my past, my thirties and forties engaging all sorts of meditation practices and “fifth dimensional” technologies, trying to assist in the evolution of the planet, focused on creating a new future for humanity. Then there was also the more personal work with the law of attraction and creating my personal future as I wanted it.

And then in my early fifties I learned about being present in the moment, the power of now. I learned lots of theories of “how things are;” and was constantly redefining my reality. But what did I really know? Theories, concepts, even powerful experiences of other dimensional phenomenon – what did they teach me about truth, about love?

I’ve experienced a great deal in the last few years. I fell in love with a spiritual teacher (a phenomena I didn’t even know existed before it happened to me) and through that relationship I have experienced truth. I have experienced love. I’ve experience who I truly am. But what do I really know?

Until a few days ago, I thought I knew how a pivotal experience in my childhood had effected me, what it meant in terms of my experience of who I was, what it meant in terms of my relationship with my father. I thought I knew what the limits of that relationship were, I thought I had accepted what could never be. I thought I knew what could and couldn’t be.

Then in a moment of grace, with this beloved teacher, all that changed. A door opened and I allowed the possibility for something I had assumed was not possible, for something to be different from the way I had always held it in my mind. And the result has been that a connection, an exquisite expression of love, deeper than anything that has ever been before, has been exchanged between my father and me. And the past and it’s “traumas” have fallen away. All that I thought I knew, and that had defined me, shifted, and there is only love.

I’m deliberately being a bit vague, not wanting to make a private moment between my father and me something public. But I hope you can feel the energy of what I am offering. What we think we know is not always true. And when you can allow a moment of not knowing, truth can be revealed.

I offer you this opportunity I had. Let yourself not know how things are for just a moment. Open your mind and heart to a door you thought was closed, for just a moment. See if it is really closed. Don’t know. Allow yourself to express the depth of who you are and see what the response is. Maybe, you’ll find that what you thought you knew is true. But if you are lucky, maybe, like me, you’ll find that what you thought was the truth never really existed outside your mind. And finally, there is nothing real but love.

5 Things I’ve Discovered about Living the Heart’s Desire

by | Aug 5, 2010 | Mindfullness, Spiritual Awakening

5 Things I’ve discovered about Living the Heart’s Desire:

  1. There is truly only one Heart. We are all connected and sourced by the same divinity.
  2. Even though the mind is extremely useful and necessary to our existence, without being lead by the Heart, it can really cause havoc.
  3. Stopping, taking time to rest, being still (at lease internally), these things allow you to hear the Heart speaking.
  4. The Heart is trustworthy. Your mind may not understand why the Heart is calling you to whatever it is calling you to, but it is trustworthy.
  5. The Heart, Divinity, Love, these are not separate from who you are. They ARE who you are.

What have you discovered? Please post it in the Comments.

I look forward to your thoughts and comments! (if you are reading this on the home page the link to comments is found to the far right of the post title)
