The Power Of The Soul

Beloved children,

I am Mary.

We are fully aware of how heavy and dense the reality of Earth can sometimes seem to you.

But we are with you and we are as close to you as possible to support you.

Feel our energy and sense that there is a certain lightness that wants to come to you,

So embrace it.

I am accompanied by as many children as beings are listening to me right now.

They are children who represent your energy.

In each of you lives a child.

It is your most original essence and contains some of your deepest inspiration.

They are all around me smiling,

Dancing,

Cheerful,

And together we form a circle.

Notice the child that belongs to you and let it come to you and sit next to you or on your lap.

Let it accompany you and feel that there is something living in that child that has not been affected by the density of earthly reality.

The child has something that is original,

Carefree and without limits.

Feel the bubbling laughter of that child and welcome it.

Life is meant to be celebrated,

To be experienced with joy.

You are all allowed to experience joy in life and that often includes the simplest things.

Accept yourself as you are now with the problems you experience,

The physical symptoms,

The stress and worry.

Accept yourself because you are perfectly fine as you are and as you are.

Look into the eyes of the child in you and observe its beauty,

The untouched nature,

The hope,

The vitality.

The child in you doesn't give up.

He wants to live.

Often it is your own thoughts that trap you and slow down the course of life within you.

When you feel stuck,

It is not feelings that get you stuck but thoughts that have come to certain conclusions and interpretations that make you believe you are truly stuck.

Life is a flowing stream of energy and there is something in you that also wants to flow.

That is not to say that life is always pleasant and enjoyable but that there is always a current present in your soul that flows along with the ups and downs,

The darkness and the light.

When you resist that current,

You get stuck and create a situation that seems static to you.

However,

Even then life does not stop.

What happens when you resist and tell yourself that things will not work out and pass harsh judgment on your situation?

It happens that in the worst case scenario you will feel bad about yourself and become discouraged.

Then you are invaded by an energy field that is the beginning of depression.

You feel bored,

Gloomy and very confused.

That's what happens when you stifle energy and it can't flow,

That it becomes a hazy twilight zone.

When that happens to you,

Observe yourself and see if that is a pattern you recognize.

With some people it happens more or less than with others.

When there are times in your life when you feel down and think you are too overwhelmed and can't take it anymore,

Fix your attention on it and take a deep breath and exhale completely.

Feel how much there is inside you that wants to be activated,

That wants to live,

That wants to experience joy and trust that current.

Notice when you drew those certain conclusions and where you got stuck.

Feel the difference between what wants to be alive in you and that feeling of overwhelm.

Behind that judgment there is pain,

So make that pain palpable.

Feel the sadness and fear it causes you.

Let that emotion come out.

I am scared,

I feel so lonely.

Dare to face those emotions because doing so is your salvation.

As soon as you allow those emotions to manifest,

You connect again with life,

With what would flow in you.

It is when such emotions manifest in your body that you can bring them comfort with your inner light.

So try it now.

Imagine illuminating the pain you feel.

It creates a circle of light around those supposed failures that are the emotions of uncertainty,

Loneliness and fear.

Imagine looking at them with compassion,

Accepting them and saying,

This pain belongs to me and I accept it as part of me.

What a relief it is to allow the pain to be there.

When you observe the pain without judgment,

Things can begin to flow again.

Difficulties only arise when you oppose your negativity and get stuck in it longer than necessary.

Don't resist.

Everything that is has a reason for being a very valid origin.

Embrace those parts of you that you find most difficult and that produce the most dense emotions.

Imagine that you are doing it with an energy that is alive and let that energy discover the child within you that still remains joyful,

Vibrant and open to life in the deepest part of your being.

That child in you is a symbol of life.

It is your strength,

Your vitality and it is indestructible because it is God himself flowing in and through you.

Let that energy free you from worries and what oppresses you.

Feel it as a fountain cascading around you.

Everyone is allowed to be the way he or she is.

Take a moment to look back over the past few months.

Feel how brave you've been,

How you've faced certain things head on.

Look at what you have achieved.

There is always something you have learned or accomplished.

If you don't see it,

It's because you're not looking honestly.

Notice one specific thing,

Something you have handled well,

Something you are satisfied with and let it appear on its own.

Find that something you are proud of.

Find something that makes you feel good and give yourself that recognition.

Mention the qualities you demonstrated.

Was it courage,

Perseverance,

Honesty,

Sincerity,

Trust?

Recognize that quality within yourself.

Dare to let the negative current inside you transform into a positive one.

I say dare and that may sound a little extreme because on some level you want nothing more than to think positively.

But there's also a level where you hold on to the negative because it's like a kind of addiction.

Sometimes negativity can be a refuge because it allows you to do nothing.

If you are always telling yourself that you can't do this or that,

What you are really saying is that you don't want to live life anymore,

That you can retreat to that little refuge you have created and that you don't need to be or do anything anymore.

Therefore this can lead to a kind of slavery,

An excuse to make negative judgments.

Consider for a moment what the reward is when you look at yourself so critically.

Why do you do it?

Is there something about it,

Even if it's just a small detail,

That somehow makes you feel safe,

Gives you a certain kind of security,

Even if it's just in a slightly distorted way?

At times it might seem safe to dwarf yourself and stay in a routine,

But that's really the fear you have of what might happen if you were to participate fully in life.

By participating in life,

I mean really opening ourselves to the experiences that come our way by daring to explore new territories,

To enter the unknown and to feel authentically.

And that is greatness.

It has nothing to do with how well one performs in the world or with one's accomplishments,

But with what one is able to fully feel and immerse oneself in that feeling.

Greatness is also about going into the depth of all that life has to offer us in the form of emotions and feelings.

What life is really about is to openly penetrate that greatness,

Even though sometimes it may be too much for you.

Look what you do to yourself when you lock yourself in and surround yourself with certain judgments as to what can and cannot happen and what roads are closed.

By not wanting to participate in life and not being here anymore,

You enter into a pseudo-death,

And that cannot be because it goes against life itself.

Death does not really exist.

There is no such thing as an absolute stagnation,

A non-existence,

A non-being.

Everything that is,

Is,

Exists.

And that is why life is always in action and evolving,

Following its path and acquiring new experiences.

I ask you to open yourselves to this flow,

For it is a flow of love,

A flow of joy that desires to be with you.

Take the child by the hand and trust him,

His innocence,

His openness and his vulnerability.

It is the wisest part of you because it always opts for life.

The child is never tired of living.

Let your inner child be enthusiastic again.

Open yourself to life.

And so it is.

Thank you very much for your attention.
