“What if…?” Loving Guidance In Overcoming Fear And Anxiety

     These are the words I wish to share

Are you listening?

Yes, dear spirit

          Grand

               Listen closely . . .

 

Often we try to make sense of things

     Before they’ve become our reality

We spend endless hours
     Contemplating our reactions
          To those truths
               Which are only truths
                    In our imagination

“What if this?

     What if that?”
          We say,

With endless energy invested
     Such that
          All our time is spent there
               With nothing left

Nothing left

               For our present state of being

I would like to say
     That this endless forward living
          Deprives us
               In the most detrimental way
                    When clearly
                         Our hearts become frozen
                              In fear

Let your mind go blank
     One second at a time

          Take all the time you need
               To practice this skill

Let the thoughts that consume you
     Hold their own
          Even for a moment
               Such that a space for
                    Breathing
                         Begins to appear

Shake away the cobwebs
     Such that a single breath
          Can fill you
               And eventually two
                    Without interruption
                         And with each sacred breath . . .

Yes, Spirit?

     A song will begin to play
          On your heart chords

Let the music play

     Let the melody find a place in your heart
          So that the thread of that song
               Builds on the strength
                    Of your inner knowing

Allow yourself to remember
     The notes reflect a sacred song
          Created for you
               At the beginning of time

Isn’t it an ancient melody?

You know it well

     It’s a song of love
          Composed by none other
               That the one who loves you best

Take up your harp
     And let your fingers dance across the strings

     Fill the heavens with the notes
          That share this joyful tune

          Let this light-filled
               Soulful thread of sound
                    Wind round the space you’re standing in
               In such a way
                    That nothing

Nothing
     Could call your attention
          With greater appeal

Yes, Spirit?

I’d like to count on that for you

I’ll be right there
     Rooting for your sense of grounding in the now

Today

Start breathing now
     One glorious
          Heartfelt breath at a time

     You’ll find me there

Shining my light
     Weaving the notes together

One
     By
          One

     Amen to that
