Connecting with Higher Wisdom
Copyright 2005 Debbie Friedman Many people have been asking me lately how to connect with higher wisdom. I don’t have all the answers, but there are a few techniques that I’d like to share with you based on my personal experience over the years. ...
Four Steps To Tripling Your Energy
Tired? Tired of being tired? You aren’t alone. There are few human qualities more highly sought than energy. It determines our ability to enjoy life, to attract mates, to finish projects, to protect our families, to shape our bodies effectively,...
Stepping into Soul
Stepping into Soul
In the aftermath of the Indian Ocean tsunami, Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita, and the recent earthquake in Pakistan, I have noticed
the presence of much higher spiritual energies in my life and in
the Earth. The quantum field...
The Key To Perseverance
The Definition Of Perseverance From a dictionary: "Persisting in or remaining constant to a purpose, idea or task in spite of obstacles." Notice it doesn't start, "Wisely persisting..." Perseverance can clearly be a both a good thing and a bad...
What is Reiki?
The question is an intellectual one. Our conditioning always looks for quantifiable evidence. Yet given the nature of Reiki and the priorities as well as capabilities of today's science this evidence is scarce. Another type of evidence, however, is...

Have you ever felt that something is wrong, but been unable to
figure out exactly what? Most people have had this experience,
especially those of us who would rather zip speedily through
life than stop to deal with our roiling emotions.
If we don't do so, as some of us have learned, the bubbling
cauldron of emotion will eventually boil over to scald us and
anyone else standing nearby.
Last September, after the televised nightmare of Hurricane
Katrina, I was boiling over, but knew how to staunch the flow.
Returning to meditation quelled the fires and restored my peace
and higher perspectives, but still there was a persistent,
aching sadness for my native Louisiana. Like the people of New
York City after 9/11, I found myself crying at the drop of a pin.
This inspirational writing shows why it's so important to heal
the hurting heart and offers two ways to do so. If you feel out
of sorts, sad, lost or unsettled in these tumultuous days, it
will help you to go within for comfort and answers. Just sit
down in a quiet place, withdraw into yourself, and ask what you
want or need to know.
There's nothing more steadying than a good soul talk. Besides
comfort and inspiration, you will experience the energy of light
flowing through you to heal and uplift your body-mind. If you
meditate often, you will always feel these flowing currents of
light and will yearn for this spiritual ecstasy: the very
presence of the Beloved.
I hope that you will find these two techniques helpful. I've
included them in a home study workbook, "The Path of the Master:
Awakening to Your Inner Light," soon to be available on
www.EagleLife.com as a downloadable e-book.
It is a step-by-step journey into personal and spiritual
mastery--admittedly, sometimes a slippery slope--but
nevertheless a universal path that diminishes our suffering and
builds personal and planetary peace.
September 28, 2005 Noon Q: What is the source of the deep
internal sadness and near-surface tears, my upset with the
ignorance and brutality in America and the world? Is there a
source (of it) that needs repairing in me, or is this about the
disasters occurring and hurting people with seemingly greater
frequency?
A: Seek within self a place of peace and calm and realize what
is within it.
Q: I feel an air of happiness and energy moving. Relief from my
sadness. But the moment I return and think of even the word
sadness, the tears well up.
A: See, dear one, the difference between expanded perspectives
of peace and narrow emotional upset? One gives help, one gives
hurt. Here is the choice, then. Retreat into the expanded self
or live in the outer orientation.
Q: Yes, I feel the Presence and a steadying of the inner self.
And I see the problem: I am unable to go visit my brother.
Questions tumble into my mind: Does he need me and am I strong
enough to go visit Baton Rouge? Would it help or hurt us both? I
feel so drawn to go there. Thoughts of home deepen my sadness,
yet I wonder if the sadness comes from this alone.
A: In the deepest heart are the beginnings of this pain, in the
separation from thy family. Reach into the pain and see it as a
tangled mass of weeds needing to be uprooted, one by one, for
release from this boggy
ground.
See how leaving thy home besets thee still as a betrayal of all
that is loved there, including thy brother. See this and heal
it, using this technique:
Reaching toward the weed that stands out, pluck it and touch its
red, tender root. Cup the hand around it and bring the healing
energy of light around and to it. Has the color and feel of it
changed?
Q: All but the feeling of leaving my brother. I know that I
needed to leave the city, but I miss my brother very much. What
can I do?
A: See self laughing and talking together on a beautiful day of
sharing and caring. Do this as a meditation, then come back to
the weed. See if it is healed.
Q: It is healed. I surrounded myself and my brother with light,
we stepped into the soul-self and I saw him as being healed and
whole. Now my pain is gone and the weed is well also.
A: Then plant it again by the water, dear one, so that it can
bring light to the world.
Q: I saw the world's pain and suffering in a huge clump of weeds
along the riverbank. But instead of pulling them up to heal
them, I used a scythe to cut them all down. What happens next?
A: Bring the healing waters to the place where they grew. Allow
the water to heal them with light and let them grow anew into
healthy plants able to flower. Here is the best way, the way of
the healing heart.
Heal one by one, where possible. When the illness is too great,
too pervasive, release (cut down) the illness, heal the root and
begin anew. So must it be for systems, institutions and all
which grows into cancerous ways of thinking and being in the
world.
For the earth has been poisoned by these and cannot continue to
sustain the killers of life. These must be transformed for the
transformation of the earth to take place.
See this for what it is: a purification of what ails an ailing
planet. Long has this been waiting for its time. Now the time
has come, when the poisons arise into the very atmosphere and
contaminate life at its source. The cycle can go no further as
it is and must change into a higher way of life.
This is the ascension taking place on the Earth today. It is a
leaving behind of what does not serve--the poisons--for a
stakehold in the light of the new way of being. A new cycle
begins, as it must.
Let this be healing for thee now, to see what comes as not only
inevitable but the exciting promise of new life as always hoped
and expected.
Bring it into thy life, weed by weed, so that the ascension
cycle comes into thee to lift thee up into the new life. Do it
step by step, with joy, awareness and expectation. Suffering
will drop away, with healing joy taking its place.
Here is the lighted way into the new world awakening one and
all. Follow this path to the Light.
