Aloha,
I'm Reverend Cindy Palos and today I'd like to talk a little bit about metaphysics.
I've been a practicing metaphysician since I was about 14 years old,
13 or 14.
And it's interesting,
It's very much a mystical path.
So what I've been doing and many people I know in this practice do is you learn from what you get inside.
There's this direct connection to your inner self and your higher self and you try to follow as much as you can the inspirations and teachings you get.
And it's very different than some other religions that have certain,
I don't want to say necessarily dogmatic but certain rules and regulations.
But there are indeed,
I call them sacred tools.
I call them sacred tools from the powerful toolbox that you learn to use that make it easier for you to live and to work and to be in life.
And these are things you put to work in your daily living where you learn your lessons.
These are not necessarily easy things to do.
And they're certainly not a once a day thing.
They're a daily way of walking your talk as a metaphysician.
And some of these you probably already are aware of because there's certain universal principles and metaphysics that work in all of life.
For example,
I'm meditating daily.
I know more and more and more people are doing this.
I've been doing it every day since I've been 14.
And it absolutely has changed my life.
Now one of the reasons you do this is because it's a way that you can understand the connecting your oneness with the universe and or the source of all or God.
And it's a way of connecting you to that energy field that is that highest energy field.
There's other things that many other religions might do like blessing your food.
I know in Reiki now many people put their hands over their food and bless their food and change the energy field of their food.
And how many people do you know now that actually take water and put words of love?
And we all know about the wonderful work that's been done when we think of water and the way that you can put energy and water and words of power into water and do it.
Another wonderful sacred tool is to stop any negative thinking.
Now we know by the secret and many others who studied the power of thought.
Dr.
Wayne Dyer was a very powerful practitioner on this part that you know would say you are what you think.
And it's really true that negative energy and negative thoughts and negative spoken words bring a negative energy into your consciousness and can create what you say.
And you learn over time to if you start saying negative things to nullify them to stop that thinking saying I completely nullify this thought and you instead place a positive energy field around it.
It's very easy when you're in a group of people or maybe a lot of people online or in social media saying things to slip into ways of thinking that are negative.
This also goes very,
Very deep into the practice of harmlessness which is a lifetime practice which is not easy at all because indeed if you're gossiping or if you're saying things negative about another person you are doing harm even if you don't realize you're doing harm.
Judgment spoken about someone can do a lot of harm and it can spread.
What you say can be carried on and said somewhere else.
So you learn to be aware of what you're thinking and trying to indeed I'm going to take that word see there's a trying word and by indeed being positive about the way you think and what you say.
And it helps in the morning when you're meditating to take a moment and really dedicate yourself to that energy of God and goodwill every day to dedicate yourself to that amazing spirit that higher self that God spirit of life within you.
You know at the end of the day as well say thank you to all of this energy that's brought you good things and good things can be hard lessons sometimes but those are also good things because you can grow that's why it's very powerful and I put this in my sacred toolbox to review your day at the end of the night and to be grateful.
Being grateful is a very very powerful tool in your toolbox.
Anytime you're starting to be depressed start instead looking at all of your blessings.
It switches that energy field from negative to positive.
And another wonderful tool to use is breaking through Maya the illusions.
There is so much glamour and illusion in this world that is really very difficult to sometimes realize that we are in this dreamlike illusion Maya state.
But if you're connected with your highest God self you can connect with the power to indeed be aware of the truth of the light and the love and not be lost in the illusions.
Now also another sacred tool is acceptance.
Sometimes and especially in this last year and everything we've gone through sometimes you just have to accept what is there.
What is there and you can accept it and understand it by accepting it.
It's part of living and meditation is learning this acceptance.
And also another sacred tool in your sacred toolbox is forgiveness.
Forgiveness is so very powerful and if you start to find yourself realizing this will sometimes come up in long states of meditation where you will realize there are certain blocks and energies certain things that may have happened a long long time ago that need to be released that need to be forgiven.
And then also you must forgive yourself.
And I'm going to add one more tool in this sacred toolbox and that's the power of being at peace.
We know that peace is not outside ourselves.
We know that peace is there within us.
And really it's important to find that place of peace.
Find that place within us where we can hold that peace and turn to that peace and return to that peace and be at peace.
Those are some of the sacred tools in the toolbox.
Some of the wonderful tools that we can learn to live what we actually are.
We can live as our higher self.
We can live as a more evolved being in life.
We are all evolving here together and we are here all together.
And as we learn to live with these principles we then actually help create an energy field where it's easier for others to share those principles unconsciously or subconsciously.
And as I speak these words I know there are people like you listening right now that are actually putting these practices to work in the world.
And as we do this we are really living that light and that love.
I live on Maui and a lot of these principles are principles of Aloha.
Aloha is a wonderful,
Wonderful gift and that Aloha indeed can help us to live with these principles as well.
So remember you have a sacred toolbox to call upon.
You have the power of positivity.
You have the power to live with harmlessness.
You have the power to live with love and understanding.
Oh I've got to add one more sacred tool to our toolbox.
That's compassion and understanding.
A very important one there.
You have the power to have love and understanding and compassion.
You have the power to live with the principles of healing and reiki and putting that energy upon your food and what you put into your body.
You have the power to decide to meditate and to review your life every single day.
To learn the lessons you need to learn to make yourself a person more aligned with who you really are.
You are a child of God.
You are a blessed one.
You have the gift of life and how you put these tools to work in your life really are a precious gift to use and to share and to live by.
I want to thank you so much for listening and may you always live with the love and light of God always.
God bless you.
