Hate is a powerful emotion Dear One, one that is often felt very deeply.  And if you are feeling it, we are sure that you have your reasons.

Hate can be a difficult thing to let go of, even if you want to, especially when you feel that you have justifiably earned the right to feel it.

We will not ask you to stop hating Dear One. We would never ask you to do something so difficult.  We would never ask you to do something that you do not want to do.

But what we will ask of you is that you stop giving hate so much of your attention.

What we are asking of you is that you not spend even one more minute of your  time, your thoughts, your energy,  your life, focused on that which you hate, and instead choose to focus on that which you enjoy, on that which you love, on loving each other instead.

You see Dear One, hate only serves to bring more hate into the world, nothing more.  It doesn’t fix anything, heal anything, even any score, or make things right, and it never will.

But love on the other hand has the power to transform, to heal, anything, even hate.

There is no divine schedule, Dear One.

• There is only you and your journey.
• You and your experiences.
• You and your relationships.
• You and your attitude, choices, behaviors, patterns, and beliefs.

You are not late. You are not behind.  You do not have to hurry to catch up.  You did not miss your chance.  And you most definitely did not get it wrong.

We just thought you should know.

Breathe easy, Dear One.  You are right where you need to be.

And you are right on time.

Contrary to what you might think, and how it might feel to you at times Dear One, you should know that it is you, your heart, your thoughts, your beliefs, your choices, and your actions, that are commanding the powers of universe.

It is most definitely not the other way around.

Don’t miss them, Dear One.

Close your eyes, open your heart and connect with them instead.

Know Dear One, that they are not better than you.

They are not more valuable, worthy, or important than you are either.

Their words, actions and beliefs are not more significant than yours.

The story of their life does not matter more than the story of yours, regardless of how they may act or what they may say.

And they are most definitely not, in any way, shape or form, more divine than you are.

They may have acquired more knowledge than you on a particular subject, they may be more practiced than you at a particular skill, they may be more educated, physically fit, or have a greater understanding of how to accumulate wealth than you do, but that just makes them different Dear One — not better.

Remember that the next time you are feeling intimated.

Remember that in that moment instead of giving into your feelings of intimidation that you can choose to see the situation for what it really is; an opportunity for you to be inspired by or learn something new from someone who is in every way that matters– your equal.

Today is the day Dear One, to stop asking for permission – to stop waiting for permission and begin behaving like the powerful, divine creator that you are.

This is your journey, to do with as you please.

So… what are you going to do with it?

Pause for a moment Dear One.

Be still.

• Become aware of your breathing
• Become aware of your thoughts
• Become aware of where you are
• Become aware of your body; how you are holding it right now
• Become aware of your heartbeat
• Become aware of how you are feeling
• Become aware of what it is you want from this moment, and the next

Now that you are aware, Dear One, what is it that you were about to do next?

What if, instead of being discouraged by what is Dear One, you allowed yourself to start to get excited about what could be?

You are a creator, Dear One.

You have come here to create, not to simply react or comply.

It’s important for you to remember that.

Sometime healing does not require a new herb, potion, tonic or pill Dear One.  Sometimes it does not require a new way of thinking, moving, eating, or behaving. Sometimes it does not require a new mantra, meditation, massage or treatment.  Sometimes it doesn’t even require compassion, understanding, insight or forgiveness.

Sometimes Dear One, the only thing that is required to heal, is rest.

So, before you go off in search of a new answer, a new technique, a new practice, a new method, a new plan for healing your body, for healing your mind, for healing your life, why not give resting a try first and see how you feel.
