In my Level II class this month I gave the assignment of merging with the true self just before going to sleep. The true self is the actualized potential of each person in this lifetime, the perfect you that has never experienced hardships, wounds, or misfortune of any kind. It is the blueprint and actualized being of who you were to be in this incarnation: healthy, vibrant, loving, brilliant and wise. My idea for the assignment was that if you took the time to move into this energy just before you went to sleep you will carry this energy into your dreams or into the light if you travel that far. The likelihood of staying more conscious of this magnificence could greatly increase, thus empowering you to a greater extent.
The more the realization that you are given daily opportunities through the death and rebirth cycles of night into morning to rid yourself of burdens, deficits, illness, or hardship, the more the realization is understood and internalized that life is working for you not against you. These systems have existed from the beginning of time to help humanity. All of the negative projections that we place on life are just that — negative projections. They come out of our own egoic creation of suffering and then they control all of our thoughts, distorting the truth of our own power and abilities to create ourselves.
If you would like a meditation to help you merge with your true self, I have a CD for just this purpose. Go to www.lightsong.net/Products/CD_awaken.htm for more information.
Heart to heart,
Jan

I forget to do this at night (okay, I’m a sucker for reading), but have been taking a few minutes upon waking to merge. It helps to start the day in a calm and centered way. Yesterday I was reminded by something I read that you can determine your day by starting it out with “Today I am manifesting ______ ” You fill in the blanks. After all this time I shouldn’t be surprised but I tried it this morning and it worked! And it helped as a reminder of how powerful we are when it comes to creating our lives. And to turn myself around energetically when catching myself traveling down a path I DIDN’T want to create.
Great Pearl ~ You have spoken words of wisdom. Setting an intention for the day will completely sculpt the day. There is great empowerment in this. You can do this at the onset of each day, or the onset of a meeting, a drive, or answering the phone. What you intend will immediately change the event into something different from what was in motion. Thanks for the reminder!
Two things here. the first is that I have been listening to your CD Awaken, but, I never remember my dreams. I find this lack of remembering frustrating.
The second thing is that I remember Marilyn Schwader mentions two sets of cards on her blog, http://www.theshamanicpath.com/blog, I was wondering if these would help me with stating the intention to manifest. i think the cards would lend direction to my intention. Is this true?
Thank you Jan and Pearl for posting. This is so very encouraging and enlightening.
Anything that you can do to help you feel better about each day and be inspired is great. The cards are a great idea.
Blessings,
Jan
