Get in contact with the One

We are always in pure awareness, pure consciousness, pure existence, pure bliss. In truth there is nothing that can shake us. How do we manage to be kind, respectful, caring, and wise when we don’t feel steady right now?

To navigate practical everyday aspects of life, we remind ourselves that when we’re in contact with what is eternal, what is real, when we’re in contact with the One, we’re able to respond with calm, robust love to all that arises.

A helpful prayer

Divine Grace, I intend to call forth the divine strength that is within me in humility, with wisdom and respect for all, with courage, being as kind, as caring, as sweet as I can possibly be, in a manner that is of service and helpful, unfolding according to the highest good.

I let go of any sense of forcing or fighting anything. I melt away any sense of strain or struggle. I allow Oneness to shine through me, to share strength through me, in whatever way is possible, in whatever way is optimal, right now.

Divine Grace, I take full responsibility for any negativity I am generating or that I have generated in the past. Grant me courage to see clearly. Where have I been blocking myself? Where have I been unintentionally creating difficulty for myself?

I’m willing to see, to learn, to heal. I’m willing to make amends. I’m willing to let go of even thinking about trying to control another person. My pure intention is to control myself so that what I create for myself, and what shares through me, is the light of the heavens.

A helpful visualization

Visualize that you go outside when the sun is just rising and you fill one thousand buckets full of heavenly light.

One thousand buckets of heavenly light are with me always, any time I have a question, any time I need encouragement or a reminder that I am cared for. I am loved by Love itself, I am a part of Oneness itself. I fully belong in Oneness, in pure light, in supreme Love.

Fill yourself from those buckets of heavenly light, so that light shares through you spontaneously without your even thinking about it. Light shares itself in a manner that is joyful, free, even hilarious.
