Week 34: August 20, 2013 Practicing Hooponopono with the Violet Flame Opening Prayer
Susie This is Susie. Jennifer is on her way. She is in a cab on her way home from the airport. Evidently her plane was running a little bit late and she will be here very shortly. But she asked me to start the call, so I'm going to pray us in. And then until Jennifer joins us, we're just going to talk. I'm going to throw the floor open. Throw out a topic and we will chat. But for right now lets all take a deep breath. Place our hand on our heart. Take another breath knowing that with each breath that we take in, love carries the oxygen to every cell in our body. Each time we release that as we exhale, we are sharing that love with all. As we settle deep into being right here and right now in this lovely sacred circle, holding hands, knowing that it is a place of love and support and compassion and understanding as we walk this path together. We are so grateful for these wisdom teachings, so grateful that love is the healer, so grateful to know that we are never alone. In form we have our sacred community. And in the invisible we are so grateful to know that we are always loved and supported by the angels, the ascended masters, our ancestors whom we invoke into our awareness right now knowing that only our good is their desire. 4
We're so grateful to be here right now releasing everything that has passed through our minds throughout the day, releasing everything that has upset us, everything that we have judged, releasing all worries about what may come next, all thoughts of the future, all concerns. We're peacefully taking in that deep breath again, settling in right here and right now with such gratitude for the peace that comes with being only in the now, in that quiet loving place knowing that this call will be beneficial to all who are participating now and all who will listen to it later, knowing that the highest and the best is awaiting all of us. And the only thing we have to do is accept it, allow it, acknowledge it, appreciate it. We're so grateful for all the healing, surrendering all of our false thoughts, moving into that expanded space of love and light, which is our true home, one with all. And with great joy and gratitude, we willingly share our healing with everyone. We let it be and so it is. Amen, Amen, Amen. Dying To Be Me Okay, I am going to unmute everyone for the moment. For those who came in after I started, this is Susie. Jennifer is on her way. She is in a cab from the airport and will be joining us very shortly. But she called me, oh, a quarter of the hour and asked me to get this started, which I am so pleased to be able to do. Good evening everyone. Everyone is unmuted. If you have background noise you can self-mute, that's hitting your mute button or pressing *6. Here is the topic that Jennifer asked that I throw open to you, because she has asked us to read the Anita Moorjani book Dying To Be Me. And there's been a couple of posts on the Facebook group about it. And I would love for somebody to jump in and tell me, tell all of us. Have you read it? First of all, who has read it? Whoever has read it just speak up and say, "Yes," anyone? Mimi This is Mimi. I've read part of it. I'm must say I got the book, oh gosh, from a friend a couple of months ago and I jumped right into the middle of the book, rather than starting from the beginning because I wanted to hear about her experience about this. [audio glitch]. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 5
Susie Kristen, I muted you because we were getting echoing. I'm sorry. Go ahead, Mimi. Mimi Anyway, I was just curious about her experience, her death experience. I wanted to read about that and I was just totally amazed. This is incredibly beautiful. Often I do that. I skip portions of a book when I know that there's something that I really want to hear about, so I haven't read the first part yet, just the middle. Susie Did you read from the middle to the end? Mimi I don't think so. I just read the experience of her being in the hospital and being able to After she had died she could hear what people said even if they were down the hallway. And then I read about her experience of just being in oneness. Its quite lovely and very comforting. Susie Would you be willing to expand a little bit on how that affected you, or in what ways did you reconsider life and death? Mimi Well, it was just very comforting. Actually I am 72 now. I let go of my parents and my sister. A lot of my loved ones have passed. It seems like in the last year I've really been worrying about passing and what the life might be like on the other side, and not having a whole faith that there's anything. So, I guess I have to tag on a little bit to accept that I have faith because you have faith. You know? Its kind of like from the very beginning of Masterful Living when you said how wonderful it is to have a prayer partner. I just jumped on that and it has been incredibly lovely. So, Im coming from a place of really willing to have faith. And I think her experience just gave me Im not saying I have complete faith yet but I have more faith just being in the presence of love and peace. And being healing and the love and feeling connected with all of Gods creations just feels very comforting to me and she described that beautifully and with a lot of humility. I love to know that she has so much humility and she communicates from her heart so I felt comforted. In fact, talking about it right now I feel comforted. Susie Beautiful, beautiful. And how are you now experiencing those thoughts about your own death? Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 6
Mimi I think my worry has just passed. Yes, at that time which was a couple months ago, I was quite worried. I was here by myself in South Carolina and I was having a lot of fear and a lot of dreams of just feeling terrified. I think it was the book, but it just was, here we've come along another couple of months in Masterful Living and all the support that I get from I consider all of you angels because you're really my higher self speaking to me. I just feel so much more comforted. I think the worry has just dropped. I don't think I worry about it anymore. Susie Oh, that beautiful, beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing that. Mimi You're welcome. And I just want to say, Susie, oh my gosh. I appreciate you so much because everything you've said to all of us on Facebook and these community calls, I remember your saying, Well, I didn't have any faith at first, but I just held onto everybody elses shirttails and did it that way. And I feel its similar to me. I have so much faith in you, and also all of our Masterful Living community, that its sort of like I'm on [audio glitch] behind all of you being pulled in the right direction. So, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you and all of the Masterful Living community. Thank you. Susie Thank you, thank you. On a very personal note, this path has been one of absolute joy for me, not to say its always been fun or easy. Mimi Oh, really? Susie But the peace and the joy that I experience now I never ever, ever really did. The fact that I can honestly say that what I have learned that was always within me and I never knew was that I love. I love. Love comes through me and I love and that is just such a gift. You all are a gift to me because that way I get to love you. I get to share the love. There are a few people who have joined since the beginning of the call. Let me say again, this is Susie. Jennifer is on her way home from the airport. She will be joining us shortly and we are discussing Dying To Be Me by Anita Moorjani. Mimi had a beautiful share. Who else has read the book? Allison Hi, this is Allison. Susie Hey, Allison. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 7
Allison Its funny. I didn't know this was going to be the topic because I was getting ready to listen to the call and I looked on Facebook and that was Jennifer suggested to read that and I read it awhile back. It was a good book but I didn't love the book. I have read many many books on life after death and its kind of been something that I got into when my grandmother died like 20 some years ago, or more. I've read a lot of books about what happens when you die and I've found her experience to be I mean she definitely had Its kind of like its all those books are the same in the way that they express the love and the feelings that happen when you transition to our natural state. What I found that I didn't love about the book, and now I feel bad that I even wrote anything on Facebook because I shouldn't have said I didn't love it, but its I just found her to be kind of earthbound. You know? A lot of references were made about her husband and her mother. I mean during the whole even through her transition. I guess because she was coming back she had some awakenings and some kinds of insights, so when she came back she was on a different plane. But it was good. I didn't hate it but it just wasn't my favorite books on that subject. Susie Okay, thank you. Thank you for sharing that. I appreciate it. Jennifer Hi. Susie Jennifer, are you here? Jennifer I'm here. I'm very much here. Susie Good. Welcome. Jennifer Thank you. Thank you, Susie. What a great help you are to all of us. And thank you, Allison. Susie And Mimi shared earlier. Jennifer Great, I'll hear that later. It sounds like Kathy is multitasking. Other people might be multitasking too, so I am going to mute everyone out. Its just my preference because I find that those little noises are less serene. And I just want to thank you, Susie, and I'm going to take it from here. Susie You go with it, girl. I love you. Jennifer I love you too, thank you. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 8
Susie It has been my pleasure. Thank you for the opportunity. Jennifer Yeah. Lets see. We've got a couple comments from folks here about Anitas book. Sharon Sharon says, I'm reading it and I love it. I'm reading it so fast that as soon as I finish I'm going to read it again. It is so awesome. It gives me such comfort, as the anniversary of my sons passing is this month so peaceful. Phil Phil says, I read the book too, and it is so inspiring in a way to love myself unconditionally which has not been so easy. Listening to the Holy Spirit Jennifer Yeah, a couple of people had mentioned the book to me. And I've learned that when Holy Spirit speaks to me through several people its time for me to pay attention. In fact, today I was thinking. I'll just give you an example. Its different but its a similar kind of a thing where I had been thinking. I don't have much cash with me, $5, $10 and I didn't really need much cash. I tend to use my debit or credit cards and don't carry a lot of cash. I was thinking, Should I go to an ATM and get more cash? Do I need more cash? And I wasn't really feeling it but it was on my mind. I have Wells Fargo Bank and Bank of America and so I was in the airport in New Jersey. I saw an ATM. It caught my eye and I thought, No, don't go there. And then when I was at LAX after landing, there was a Bank of America ATM. It caught my eye. I thought, Okay, the Holy Spirit is telling me get some cash. Get some cash, girl. I had no thought that I would need cash. I thought, I'll pay for the cab with my card and I'm going straight home to do the cash, so what do I need cash for? But you know what? I went and I got that $40, or whatever it was, in cash just to have some cash. I don't know what I need that cash for but I am learning to listen. When a couple mentioned Anitas book to me I said, Okay, I think I need to check this book out. And I actually got the audio book because one of the primary ways that I receive insight is auditorily. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 9
So, when I hear a persons voice the sound waves are encoded with information and I intuitively hear a lot more when I can hear someones voice, which is why I really appreciate the audio book of Zero Limits because the parts that Hew Len, Ihaleakala Hew Len reads himself, boy I can just hear in the tenor of his voice, in the timber of his voice that he knows. He knows. I hear it in the sound of his voice. With Venerable Dhyani its said that she has the gift of vajra speech. And what that means is that the sound of her voice is healing, which is part of why I have her facilitate approximately nine or so classes each year. She is my teacher. Shes not everyones teacher, but even just hearing the sound of her voice is deeply healing, even if we don't understand what shes saying. There it is. For me, this is one of the things that we can hear. Someone who has clarity, we hear it in their voice. Anitas book, I listened to it on audio and I could hear in the sound of her voice that her experience was real and powerful. And to me, what she describes in her experience, her awareness shifting and opening, its to me very much the teaching of A Course in Miracles, the unity consciousness and forgiveness consciousness. It felt like a very pure teaching in a very practical situation because, hello, many of us when we're identified with the ego, when we're identified with the body we think things are so limited. There's a big focus on lack. And here Anita comes along. She has this experience where shes literally hours from death. She can't hold her head up. Shes got these open sores. Her organs are shutting down. She is in her final minutes and everything turns around for her because of her willingness. Its a beautiful story because she was really there. She was at the pearly gates, in a sense, so I think she has a lot to teach us. Everybodys writing style and everybodys personal descriptions are not for everyone and that's fine. That's fine. You take what you like and leave the rest. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 10
Hooponopono as Your 40 Day Practice And one of the things that came to me to really share with you today is I have been getting over and over and over again from so many different ways, the message to encourage you even more strongly to practice Hooponopono and to work with the violet flame right now, both of those practices, to work with them very diligently. Now, the great thing is, with both of those tools its so easy. Its so easy. You don't have to jump through any hoops. You don't have to have a special outfit. You don't have to have a special time of day or be in a certain frame of mind. Your mind can be bouncing all over the place. You can be angry. You can be exhausted. You can be hungry. You can be whatever situation or circumstance. You can be on your way to pick up the kids from soccer or you could be making dinner or you could be standing on line at the bank or arguing a case in court. It doesn't matter. You can still invoke the violet flame. You can still do the Hooponopono and it works. Both of these things really really work. And how you know that they work is that you prove it to yourself. I'm inviting you to do what I call a 40 day experiment, a divine experiment, 40 day divine experiment. I've done this each year in Masterful Living and people have had miraculous results. The people who do it have miraculous results. The people who don't do it don't have miraculous results. If you'd like to have miraculous results and prove God for yourself, do it. And if that's not something you're not up to, don't do it. Don't worry. You can do it at any time. You can change your mind. So, heres what I'm going to invite you to do. Right now I'm going to invite you to place your hand on your heart and tune within. Lets take a couple of breaths of love and gratitude here and be so grateful and so thankful for the love of God that's breathing us right now as we consciously partner up with our higher Holy Spirit self. I'm inviting you to call into your mind the thing that most troubles you, bothers you in this moment, to see if you can isolate one kind of experience that you're having that you don't like. Its going to be totally unique and different for everyone something that you don't like. And I'm also going to invite you to call into mind Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 11
something that you'd like to experience that you're not experiencing now, something that you really would like to experience that you're not experiencing now. Its two things. One thing is that you are experiencing what you don't want to experience anymore and one thing that you would like to experience that you're not experiencing now. For the next 40 days or from whenever you start, you can start whenever you like to put some attention on it every day. Basically from now to the end of September its not such a very long time, 40 days. Heres how you're going to put your attention on it. When you think of the experience that you do not like and would like to shift out of, do a little Hooponopono. Do one minute. If you'd like to do more, do more. But one minute isn't very long. If you don't have one minute to do a Hooponopono about something that is really bothering you, you must not really be interested in shifting it. You must not be interested in shifting it at all. And heres how you do it. You think of it. Think of Hew Len. Think of Doctor Hew Len sitting there with those files of those patients. Hes opening the file. There's the picture of the patient, the records of the patient. Hes sitting there with that file and hes calling that person into his awareness. Hes doing the Hooponopono thinking of them. And I've done this where if its a relationship with a person I'd like to improve that relationship, I call them into my mind and I do the Hooponopono while thinking of them. You can even call into mind while you're doing the Hooponopono, you can call into mind situations, circumstances with that person that you didn't enjoy, and do the Hooponopono. If you'd like to shift something in your body, you want to shift your weight or your health, think of that body part. Do the whole Hooponopono, or just think of your whole body and do the Hooponopono. Now, that's not very complicated because if there's something in your life that you'd really like to shift that you don't like, you're thinking about it Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 12
anyway, so why not think about it in a way that's useful and healing to you? This is the practical application that is required in order to be masterful. One of the reasons we don't feel masterful is, instead of doing something that's helpful, we actually will invest more negative thinking and more negative thinking. And our self, our higher self which is our true self, we know that that's not helpful. Its actually working to our detriment, so its one of the reasons why we get discouraged and feel distressed. Invoking 40 Days of Violet Flame The violet flame, you can do the same thing. You can think of yourself and that person. You can put the two of you in a violet flame bubble. Or if its something in your body temple you'd like to shift, invoke that violet flame to soak and saturate every cell, function and fiber of your body temple. If its your finances you can think of your relationship to life, really. And oftentimes financial challenges are related to unforgiveness and judgment, thoughts of lack that you're consistently energizing. You know how every single month Venerable talks about energizing the ideal, so violet flame, what you can think of with the violet flame is what that action of that violet flame energy, which is part of your own natural spiritual essence, it is the essence of freedom. It is the essence of forgiveness. It is the essence of compassion. Its like a concentrated form of it. Its you focusing with your mind. Its you connecting with your higher self by means of the violet flame. You might not understand it. You might not quite get it. For me it seemed to just become clear in my mind right away. I've never read any books on it. I won't say that. I've never read any books about the violet flame that are just about the violet flame. I have read some about the violet flame, but most of my understanding of it has come from working with it. When invoking the violet flame you've got the prayers in the workbook right there. They're beautiful. I've worked with them for years. They are so perfect. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 13
And you can even just learn and create your own violet flame invocation. My practice is to invoke it throughout the day many times, but also particularly to fall asleep wrapped in the violet flame, to wake up, invoke it right away and soak myself in it before I even get out of bed, and to always call the violet flame to soak and saturate Mother Earth and all her beings, all the many kingdoms of the earth. The action of the violet flame, I think of it like scrubbing bubbles. Do you remember? I don't know what that product was but it said it had scrubbing bubbles. You spray this foam and it bubbles up and its like the bubbles do the work for you. What they do, those bubbles in that scrubbing bubble thing, is they loosen the dirt so that you can wipe it away. And the violet flame is much the same kind of a thing. The violet flame, its like it loosens up the negative karma, the false beliefs, all this that's entrenched, and it presents it to you with so much ease and grace so that you can, as A Course in Miracles would say, Choose again. When you're working with the violet flame, if you're paying attention what you will notice is you will get karmic opportunities to choose again, karmic opportunities for forgiveness and compassion and love. The violet flame, in a sense, isn't going to heal your karma for you but its going to make it so much easier, because when you're working with the violet flame you're saying, I am really ready to be masterful. I'm really ready to let things go. Let me do this with as much ease and grace as possible. So, I invite you in the Facebook group to share your ways of working with the violet flame and the Hooponopono. And I also ask you to declare what is your experiment going to be. You might say, The situation in my life that I don't like as it is, that I'd like to change is my finances, or my relationship with my coworker, or my relationship with my body, my relationship with my mother, or its I'm feeling blocked about my creativity, whatever it might be for you. And then the other side where there's something that you'd like to experience that you're not experiencing, it may be that what you'd like to Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 14
experience is abundance and prosperity. And what you don't want to experience anymore is a sense of feeling blocked to prosperity. They might overlap and be very congruent and thats great, because then you really got super focus in one area of your life. And pray each day to fully embody and realize the spiritual quality that pertains to this situation or circumstance or experience or feeling that you would like to bring forth and masterful in your life. If it is abundance and prosperity then you're praying to have a full realization of abundance and prosperity. Again, its the spiritual quality. Recognizing Your Hearts Desire Now, in the workbook right at the beginning of the masterful inquiries, there's a whole section on spiritual qualities. If you've done that work this will be really easy for you to do. Its about recognizing that what we'd really like If we think, Oh, I'd really like to manifest a new car, or I'd really like to manifest financial abundance, see if you can really tune in and discover what is the spiritual quality that is represented in the physical realm by this thing that you'd like to manifest? You can really focus in on the spiritual quality so you can experience the answered prayer in the highest and best way versus the way that you think it might be best realized. Very often the answered prayer we think is going to be a new job or a new home or a new relationship, something like that. But it doesn't have to be. It can be a renewed experience, a renewed appreciation of your home or your job or your relationship. It could be you being released from resentments and regrets and upset and unforgiveness that allows you to feel free and abundant and prosperous and harmonious and healthy and whole within the circumstances that are already there for you, and to harvest the wisdom from your experience and make the most of what is already right in front of you. That is true liberation. We don't know how the answered prayer is going to come. We don't know what the answered prayer looks like, but very much like the deep desire of the heart, we're tuning into, What does it feel like? when we're focusing on demonstrating that spiritual quality. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 15
Along with this 40 day experiment where you're using the Hooponopono and the violet flame and prayer, I'm going to invite you to go back to those three weeks of Prayer Power. Relisten to those three weeks of Prayer Power so you have an even better understanding of prayer, because what you hear in those weeks will be different than what you heard before because you've had so much experience since then. So, I'm really inviting you to please go back and relisten to those three weeks of Prayer Power. While you're at it, I really encourage you to listen to Stop Playing Small and to keep going and relisten to a lot of the early classes, because many people don't take advantage of that but there's so much more for you to hear in those classes if you relisten to them. You can go back to the beginning of the year to Class 2 when we did the visioning for the year. And you can revision again and see what you get. I think it will be very powerful for you. The other thing I wanted to share with you in conjunction with this is to go back to, and this is right at the beginning of Masterful Living, the Heart/Mind Congruency, to really revisit that because this is so critical, so key to your success and feeling masterful, the Heart/Mind Congruency. Remember, heart/mind congruency. In our heart, if we're holding onto one thing, I'd like to have a peaceful relationship. I'd like to feel healthy in my body temple, in my heart, in my mind. And I'd like to experience that health and that wholeness. I'd like to experience the prosperity. I'd like to experience the love. This is what we're holding in our heart, but in our mind we keep going to, Its not happening. Its not happening. Or if we hold in our heart that we'd like to be very peaceful and be very loving and patient, but then in our mind we give ourselves permission to attack, to judge, to be critical, to control and manipulate our loved ones, then our heart and mind are not congruent. And if our heart and mind are not congruent, and they're really incongruent because we are really consciously giving ourselves permission not to be congruent with our hearts desire, but to align with the ego and start judging and going into thoughts of lack and attack. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 16
Then what happens is our sense of personal power just dwindles to nothing and we begin to feel helpless and confused and despairing and depressed. The fastest way to increase your sense of personal power and peace and equilibrium is to focus on becoming heart/mind congruent. When you recognize that there is a false belief, you're getting on the pain train, you're going into judgment, you're building a case, all those things that we talked about earlier in the year that you can now use the Hooponopono. You can use the violet flame. You can use prayer. You get to work with your tool kit, because in order to truly be masterful you move into doing the spiritual work. And that's what transforms your life, your heart, your mind, your thinking. The folks who are facilitating the Community Call, Susie and Amina and Helene and Stephen, they're doing the work. They are committed to doing the work. They have learned to love doing the work. But when they began they were not heart/mind congruent, not by a long shot. And it felt very hard for them to get some traction. I know. I remember exactly what they were talking about. And they judged themselves and all of that, but they stayed committed to using the tools. They were willing to prove that it works. And when they used the tools and it worked, they made a note of it. They talked about it. They shared with their prayer partners. They started to really pay attention that they are not victims and that they are experiencing their thinking and that's whats happening in their life. We're building on basic tools. If you don't employ the basic tools, you will nothings going to change for you, really, and so you'll think that it doesn't work, but it does work. It does work. In fact, it is the only thing that does. No one can do this work for you, but everyone can do it with you. If you're feeling that we're coming to the last four and a half months of the class, and we still have four and a half months of the class. That's one of the things I love about Masterful Living. Even if for the first 9 or 10 months you're just watching on the sidelines, you're not really in it to win it, you can totally come in at the end and be a champion because your willingness is the greatest tool that you have. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 17
I'm inviting you to help increase your willingness through these simple tools of Hooponopono and the violet flame. Alright, I'm going to pause there and see if anybody has anything they would like to share, or any questions. *2 if you're on the phone. Sharons asking about Its a blue moon tonight. Its a full moon and its the blue moon, which this is the month of the year where there's two full moons in one month. There can't be a blue moon. Is it blue moon? Anyway, it is full moon, full moon went full in Los Angeles while we were talking here. And so yes, that's why I felt to talk about these things tonight, is to really focus on releasing that which no longer serves. That's the focus of the full moon is to do a releasing ceremony. I've talked about that before. Alright, I think this is Kristen here. Kristen Hey! Hi, Jennifer. Hello, everybody. Jennifer Hello. Kristen Hello. Its a lovely night in Missouri and the moon is full. Its gorgeous out and the crickets. Do you hear the crickets? Jennifer Yes, I do. Kristen Sorry. Jennifer No, its wonderful. Kristens Miracle of Healing Kristen Oh, Jennifer, everything you've been talking about tonight, I've been listening to so much stuff about A Course in Miracles and I loved your thing today, the pause and listen that Mary Lenahan had. Just what you were talking about tonight with the heart/mind congruency, I realize I've been really practicing being the observer to my thoughts, more than ever in my life the last week or so, and realizing that there's these two I ams. Its like the I am that I'm loving awareness and the I am of my ego self, my DVD, my personality. And its like its kind of neat to be able to, now without judgment I mean not all the time but I'm getting there to where I can just go, Hmm, is this my loving awareness self or is this my Kristen the personality judgment self? And I can choose which one I want to put energy into, which one I want to affirm. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 18
And it just feels so wonderful that I even have that choice. And before taking your class, Jennifer, and just all the stuff in A Course in Miracles, I mean I just feel like I've been trying to just soak all this stuff in lately. And its so neat to realize that we have a choice. And I felt like such a victim to my thoughts for so long, and I thought that that's what I was. And now I go Wow! Actually, even though its a part of me that is still really new and I feel like I don't know it very well, I was listening to one of your A Course in Miracles. Yeah, it might have been from the third one. You were talking about listening to that inner voice. And when its that voice like when your parents answer the phone or when they're on the other end and that's a voice that you're used to hearing, and I realize I haven't known that inner voice because I never listened to it. I never believed it was there. And now I'm just starting to get an idea of that. And I just feel so incredibly grateful. You know? But its kind of that heart/mind congruency that you were talking about. My heart/mind congruency was just nonexistent, but partly because I didn't even know what my heart was. I didn't know the deepest desire of my heart. I just was just totally 100% in my ego self and that's just all I was and its all I knew. And this illness, you keep talking about the deepest desire of our heart and then our [audio glitch]. I mean this illness in the physical form has just been godawful. But as far as what it has been to my healing of my heart, it has been my answered prayer because I don't know. My ego was so strong I don't know if it would have ever been, except for a catastrophic thing like this to happen to me for me to be willing to explore that there is another side of me. And I just feel like its such a gift. And the days when I'm just doing so poorly physically and I get in that fear thinking, now I go, Oh, you want to feed that, Kristen, or do you want to feed getting to know your higher Holy Spirit self more? I'm choosing that not all the time, but at least its something that I'm aware of and I just feel so incredibly grateful. And thank you so much for everything you've done. And the community calls have been wonderful on Saturdays. I just made the commitment I'm going to go in feet first and I'm going to do this. You're right, you know? If you do the work that's when you get the results, and the willingness, praying for that Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 19
willingness that you talked about today, its that willingness to do it. And its hard. Sometimes you don't feel willing. Jennifer Yeah, its hard. I say all the time because I think its helpful to people, Kristen. Its the hardest thing I've ever done. Kristen Oh, God, yeah. Jennifer And that's why I say it totally kicked my butt and now I have a totally different butt because my butt got kicked so hard. To hear you share, like if people are going back, they're listening to earlier in this year, your voices change so much. Your attitude has changed so much, even just in a few weeks ago. I know that we kind of go up and down. There's that spiral. When we're spiraling up, sometimes it seems as though we're going back down, but we're actually going back to clear more stuff out and gaining momentum to rise even higher. I so appreciate what you're sharing because you have really been working it, really working and its working. You're realizing what the illness, what the challenges are for. Kristen And the Course always said that we release the stuff that no longer matters because its not real anyways. I think that's the biggest challenge for me lately. I've been doing all this wonderful work but physically I'm getting I mean I at least perceive but physically I'm getting weaker. I'm having less I'm having a hard time walking, all these things. And I always thought that what I would get would be back in form because that's all I ever wanted. I want to be healthy. I want to go back to my old life. And what I'm realizing is that kind of stuff in the world of form is not really what serves the deepest desire in my heart, which is to have a sense of connection to God, to love, to peace, inner peace. And that other stuff, even though that's what I thought I wanted, its really not going to give me that heart/mind congruency. You know? And I just was like looking in all the wrong places. Granted its so hard to think. The fear of, Oh, whats the future going to bring? being a disabled person. But then I keep saying I've been also Eckert Tolle stuff, so much about mindfulness. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 20
And he says everything about the future and fear is in the future. We can just stay in the moment and be the awareness of love now. And its like that has helped me so much because I just keep having to bring it back to now, love now, now, now, now, now, and practice the awareness of love now. And Ram Dass stuff too, I mean so many of these wonderful spiritual teachers, they all teach the same stuff, and you do too. Part of me has been the doubting Thomas for so many years. It says, You know what, Kristen? I see this stuff working. Its being demonstrated in these peoples lives so it has got to be true. And that has been so helpful for me to believe that this is true because I see it. Jennifer Yes! That's it. You're proving it to yourself. Kristen Yeah, because I do. I have moments where I just really feel peaceful, even with my body and my life, and things just feel in the physical form, they're absolutely chaos. I have these moments of just feeling so peaceful. And I think, Huh, how can this be? Its because I'm just being in the moment. I'm listening to the crickets. I'm looking at the moon. I'm just trying to be here now and its really amazing what a gift that can be. Jennifer Yes! Exactly. Yeah, you're doing tremendous work. And I would like to, with your permission, I would like to ask people in the class that, when you think of Kristen, that you do some Hooponopono because remember. Any Hooponopono that you do on behalf of Kristen you do on behalf of yourself because you're one with her and she is a projection of your mind. She is part of you teaching yourself. This is one of the things to realize. Sarah, I see you've raised your hand there. I just want to go to Wanda Wanda said, Jennifer, can you? And I'm going to mute you out. Is that okay with you? Can we do Hooponopono for you? Kristen That would be wonderful and thank you so much. And thank you. I love you. Jennifer Yeah, I love you too. Its so good to hear your sharing Kristen. Its absolutely beautiful. Wanda has written. Wanda She said, Jennifer, can you give us an example of how to use Hooponopono in regard to feelings of unworthiness? Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 21
Unworthiness and Hooponopono Jennifer When you feel unworthy, do it right then. Do it right then and notice how your feelings shift. Notice what thoughts come into your awareness. Remember that we're getting in the gap between a thought appears in your awareness and then you decide. Are you going to think that thought? Are you going to choose to align with that thought? One of the reasons I love the teaching of Zero Limits, the Hooponopono teaching, is the teaching around the zero state. The zero state is when you've cleared your consciousness. There's purification. There's clarification and so you become aware. Thoughts appear in your mind. You choose to think them. There is a gap between the thought coming into your awareness and you choosing to think it. There is a tangible gap in there and you do not have to think every that appears in your mind. In Science of Mind teaching which is what I studied at Agape, the teachings of Ernest Holmes, he talks about what he calls the race consciousness. He talks about the subjective mind. And his teachings are based on teachings of ascended masters like Jesus. And they're very closely based on teachings of ascended masters. He talks about the subjective mind and the race consciousness. There is divine mind and then there's all the thoughts that any human being has ever thunk. So you can call that, as Ernest Holmes says, the race consciousness. You can think of it like a field of thought, a tangible field of thought where the thoughts are just in a sense floating there. And so our mind is the one mind and all of those thoughts are there for us to tune into. We will tune into them according to what we're interested in. If you're interested, or focused on that's of lack and attack, like is going to attract like. Its our thoughts are magnetic. And so we don't have to think. We don't have to choose to invest our attention, our awareness, our energy, our agreement into every thought that appears in our mind. Having time to be contemplative, to be meditative, gives you an opportunity to examine the thoughts and say, Is this thought true? Is Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 22
this thought a thought that can bring me benefit? If its not but I'm still interested in it and I like it, what is it that I like about it? Why does it have value for me? We can look at that. Sometimes the very best thing is, I've looked at all those thoughts. I know they have no value for me. I'm not interested in that anymore. Its about becoming very discerning and that is only going to happen if you are paying attention because you're interested in it. You're giving. You're investing your intention in your own awareness and where your mind is going. By now you've learned, as Kristen was so beautifully saying, you don't have to feel like a victim unless you'd like to, no matter what the circumstances of your life are. I saw a very charming movie that I would recommend to everyone. Its called The Intouchables, or just Intouchables. I-N-T-O-U-C-H-A-B-L-E-S. I think the best way to think about it is they're in touch with themselves. Its a French movie. Its about a man whos quadriplegic and his caregiver. And its funny and its playful and I recommend it. Using the Hooponopono in regards to unworthiness, when you feel unworthy use the Hooponopono. When you experience someone else who seems to feel unworthy, do Hooponopono for them remembering that you're one with them. I don't think its really complicated. Okay, so back to Terry in New York. It says Potts, Terry. Angela Yeah, okay. This is Angela. Jennifer Angela. Angela Hi. Jennifer Hi. Angela I was wanting to just say to Kristen that, as a school teacher I feel like Kristens the student in the first row who keeps raising her hand and participating. And therefore, shes just having fantastic learning and I'm just so proud of her. Jennifer Yeah. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 23
Angela That was the image I get. And, yeah, I've heard her development over the calls and its so inspiring, so I wanted to share that. And again, just to enforce, I'm listening to the first and second calls. Yet today I did How I Want to Feel which is the first expansion opportunity you gave us and, instead of just how do I want to feel a year from now I just said, How do I want to feel every day? And it was so inspiring. Jennifer Yeah. Angela Anyway, I'm just echoing that I'm in such a different place to set my trajectory, as you said in the first class. And I'm just enjoying it very much. Jennifer Beautiful, yeah. Your sharing has been so lovely, Angela, thank you. Angela Thank you. Jennifer Yeah, I love that image of Kirsten being the one in the front row whos in it to win it. I think that's very, very apt. I love that. I got an e-mail today from Denise who is in England. Shes in the class and she has really been unnoticeable just the way shes not in the Facebook group. But she, I hope, will join us. And she was asking a question and I said I would bring it up in class today. Denise She is saying, I started to reread Masterful Living from Week 1. Shes been taking the transcripts with her to the park. Its been very interesting, and shes been sitting in the park reading and just feeling, Oneness and great appreciation of the beauty in nature. Around that time I became very aware of conversations between people that were centered on the ego. They made me very uncomfortable emotionally and physically. Quite spontaneously I remembered to choose love and I realized choosing love and being loving was such a pleasurable experience. My body felt much nicer than I was buying into what people were saying into each other. In the last couple of weeks, a few pieces I needed for my flat, or apartment, have come to me very easily. She said she had three clients book sessions with her but they all canceled. And although shes spotting things that are perfect for her home, shes been looking for over a year and not found anything. Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 24
She says, I'm wondering if I'm focusing on the wrong things or I'm realizing how much of the energy is taken up thinking about how to get my flat right. Anyway, any thoughts greatly appreciated. If Only Jennifer One of the things that the ego can definitely do is bring us into a place of things will be better when they're different. Focusing energy on, I need to get my home right, and what would be the perfect items for the home, the perfect furnishings and things like that, that would be the ego because, in truth, the spirit doesn't need anything. It doesn't need one stick of furniture, not really. And so heres where I would say do the deep desire of the heart. It can be helpful. So, the deep desire of my heart is to feel fully comfortable in my home as it is, or just fully comfortable in my home, to love my home and not think it will be better when its different because then we're looking towards the future and we're not present in the now, which is where the flow of love and prosperity is. Now, there are all kinds of things with the clients. So, the clients are booking appointments. That's wonderful. They're cancelling, not as wonderful, so there's something going on there. And what I would say to you, Denise, is this could well be the perfect demonstration of your thinking that you are open to working with the clients to some degree, but once they book there's something else that's operating in your awareness that they're cancelling. They're not following through. It could be any number of things. And one of the things I would encourage you to do is to relisten to those three weeks of Stop Playing Small, also the Prayer Power classes, all six of those classes. That's why they're right there in the beginning so that hopefully by now you have all relistened to those classes because they're critical. And the material in those classes, that is material I've studied for years and years to fully understand it. So six weeks, you can't. I think it would be an exceptional student that had done a lot of work that can hear all six weeks of those classes and really get it first time around. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 25
Those six weeks are critical to the rest of the year, so I really encourage you now. If you would like to be a rock star for the rest of the year, and I just I don't mean that you need to be more noticeable than anybody else, but if you'd like to feel like a spiritual rock star in your own mind, to feel really successful, go back and listen to those six weeks of classes again and hear what you did not hear the first time around. Read and listen if you can because you absolutely will hear things that you did not hear before. One thing about having clients, customers, students is, and this is one of the very first things I learned when I started spiritual counseling. My clients are not the source of my income. My students are not the source of my income. My source is God. It is not a person. It is not a place. It is not a thing. My source is love. I am fully funded by God. And if I am thinking that any person, place or thing, any job, any bank account, whatever it is is my abundance or prosperity, my ability to pay my bills, then I am in limitation thinking. I'm in lack thinking. If I'm in lack and limitation thinking, I'm going to experience lack and limitation. So I really focused in to absolutely know with all my heart that my source was the unlimited love that I am. And in the ascended master teachings Mother Mary is the greatest teacher of true abundance. And why? Because she represents the immaculate heart. The immaculate heart holds nothing against anyone, knows perfect love for everyone, so Mother Mary represents that. Quan Yin represents that, as well. And that is the key to true and total abundance, because true and total abundance is knowing that you are God. You are love. You are unlimited. You are unprecedented. You are prosperity. You are abundance. This is why in the Workbook Number 2, that focus on those spiritual qualities and understanding them as your true identity, as your true nature and cultivating an awareness of these qualities as your essence, as your nature, as your inheritance. Oftentimes there are especially for spiritual students and counselors and healers and people like that. And Denise does healing work. There is a sense of unworthiness because for a spiritual teacher, a healer, someone in that field, if you hold onto judgments, criticisms, thoughts of lack and Week 34 with Jennifer Hadley 26
limitation, you'll feel unworthy of working with a client. Its just your own judgments. Homework Invitations So, forgiveness, self-forgiveness is the key. Work with the Hooponopono. Work with the violet flame. But I really I don't think I can say it any better than I said it in those Prayer Power and Stop Playing Small classes. I encourage everyone to go back and to listen to those. Alright, we are at time here. I do encourage you to do full moon ceremony, a releasing ceremony. Very simply you've got three days to do your full moon ceremony. You can invite a friend over and do it. Very simply you can set the environment. You can do it as sophisticated or as simple as you'd like. Set the environment. Burn some incense or some smudge. Light a white candle. Have a glass of water. Sit down. Write out that which you are releasing, not that you want to release in the future. You're releasing it now. And then pray over it. And I love to do a fire puja, so if you have a burning bowl or you have a fireplace where you can burn that, what you're releasing. And just burn it up in the fire and release it to the action of divine law and know that it is released because your knowing is the key to your success. Alright, any final questions or comments before we pray out? Its so good to be with you. Its such a time for our healing. It is such a time. We are so blessed. I encourage you do even just 60 seconds of spiritual practice a day. Just 60 seconds, you'll be amazed at the results, truly. Get on your divine experiment. Be clear about what you're releasing and what you'd like to step into and make the commitment. For 40 days, its not so hard. Take a few minutes a day, 5 to 10 minutes a day. Do spiritual practice. Say a prayer what spiritual qualities you're embodying, some Hooponopono, invoke the violet flame and prove God to yourself. Masterful Living 1: August 20, 2013 27
Closing Prayer Let us place our hand on our heart and be so grateful and so thankful for the love of God showing up as each one of us. Let us be so grateful and so thankful that we're inspiring each other. Let us be so grateful and so thankful that, if we've been entirely unwilling until this moment and we have a little mustard seed of willingness, that's all that's needed for our healing. And we are truly placing on the holy altar fire of divine love everything that no longer serves us. We're opening our hearts and minds to the highest possibility of healing. We're calling it forth. We're accepting it. We're allowing it and we're receiving all manner of divine support. In grace and in gratitude, we share the benefits with everyone. In grace and gratitude, we let it be and so it is. Amen. Amen, Amen, Amen. And spirit is telling me to remind you, too, that if there's somebody in your life that seems to be challenged, or that you have fear for, so sometimes a parent might feel concern for their child, that kind of a thing, or maybe you're concerned for your spouse, we've got many people with different situations, do the Hooponopono for them like I website suggesting that you do it for Kristen. Just a couple of minutes a day will mean so much. And you'll see. I love you. Have a great rest of your week and enjoy your full moon releasing ceremonies. Good night everybody.
