Hi Kathy I hope this was said in response to something about you feeling hurt by something someone did or something to that effect.
I think it's clear everyone wants you to remain the kind, giving, loving person that you are. I agree and I've been in the same place you seem to be, wondering if we need to harden up some but then I read the book The Four Agreements and that helped me remain true to myself and others! I'll post the agreements for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to read the book.
THE FOUR AGREEMENTS
1) Be Impeccable With Your Word
Not only to others but especially to yourself
2) Don’t Take Anything Personally
Understand that how others act is their issues, does not affect you.
3) Don’t Make Assumptions
Feel free to ask questions, but do not make assumptions based on your own life or experiences.
4) Always Do Your Best
When looking back, if you have done your best you will never feel bad….it was your best at the time.
and a few prayers.....
Prayer for Freedom
Today, Creator of the Universe, we ask that you come to us and share with us a strong communication of love. We know that your real name is Love, that to have a communicaton with you means to share the same vibration, the same frequency that you are, because you are the only thing that exists in the universe.
Today help us to be like you are, to love life, to be life, to be love. Help us to love the way you love, with no conditions, no expectations, no obligations, without judgement. Help us to love and accept ourselves without any judgement, because when we judge outselves, we find ourselves guilty and we need to be punished.
Help us to love everything you create unconditionally, especially other human beings, especially those who live around us – all our relatives and people whom we try so hard to love. Because when we reject them, we reject ourselves, and when we reject ourselves we reject YOU.
Help us to love others just the way they are with no conditions. Help us to accept them the way they are, without judgement, because if we judge them, we find them guilty, we blame them and we have the need to punish them.
Today, clean our hearts of any emotional poison that we have, free our minds from any judgement so that we can live in complete peace and complete love.
Today is a very special day. Today we open our hearts to love again so that we can tell eachother “I love you,” without any fear, and really mean it. Today, we offer ourselves to you. Come to us, use our voices, use our eyes, use our hands, and use our hearts to share ourselves in a communication of love with everyone. Today, creator help us to be just like you are. Thank you for everything we received this day. Especially for the freedom to be who we really are. AMEN
PRAYER FOR LOVE
We are going to share a beautiful dream together----a dream that you will love to have all the time. In this dream you are the middle of a beautiful warm summer day. You hear the birds, the wind, and a little river. You walk towards the river. At the edge of the river is an old man in meditation, and you see that out of his head comes a beautiful light of different colors. You try not to bother him, but he notices your presence and opens his eyes. He has the kind of eyes that are full of love and a big smile. You ask him how he is able to radiate all that beautiful light. You ask him if he can teach you to do what he is doing. He replies that many many years ago he asked the same of his teacher.
The old man begins to tell you his story: “My teacher opened his chest and took out his heart, and he took a beautiful flame from his heart. Then he opened my chest, opened my heart and put that little flame inside it. He put my heart back in my chest and as soon as my heart was inside me, I felt instant love, because the flame he put in my heart was his own love.
That flame grew in my heart and became a big, big fire…..a fire that doesn’t burn but purifies everything it touches. And that fire touched each one of the cells in my body, and the cells in my body love me back. I became one with my body, but my love grew even more. That fire touched every emotion of my mind, and all the emotions transformed into a strong and intense love. And I loved myself, completely and unconditionally.
“But the fire kept burning and I had the need to share my love. I decided to put a little piece of my love in every tree, and the trees loved me back, and I became one with the trees, but my love did not stop, it grew more. I put a piece of love in every flower, in the grass, in the earth and they loved me back, and we became one. And my love grew more and more to love every animal in the world. They responded to my love and they loved me back, and we became one. But my love kept growing and growing.
“I put a piece of my love in every crystal, in every stone in the ground, in the dirt, in the metals, and they loved me back, and I became one with the earth. And then I decided to put my love in the water, in the oceans, in the rivers, in the rain, in the snow. And they loved me back and we became one. And still my love grew more and more. I decided to give my love to the air, to the wind, I felt a strong communicaton with the earth, with the wind, with the oceans, with nature, and my love grew and grew.
“I turned my head to the sky, to the sun, to the stars, and put a little piece of my love in every star, in the moon, in the sun,, and they loved me back. And I became on with the moon and the sun and the stars, and my love kept growning and growning. And I put a little piece of my love in every human, and I became one with the whole of humanity. Whereever I go, whomever I meet, I see myself in their eyes, because I am a part of everything, because I love”
And then the old man opens his own chest, takes out his hart with that beautiful flame inside,, and he puts that flame in your heart. And now that love is growing inside of you. Now you are one with the wind, with the water, with thestars, with all of nature, with all animals, and all humans. You feel the heat and the light eminating from the flame in your heart. Out of your head shines a beautiful light of different colors. You are radiant with the glow of love and your prey.
Thank you Creator of the Universe, for the gift of life you have given me. Thank you for giving me everything that I have ever truly needed. Thanks you for the opportunity to experience this beautiful body and this wonderful mind. Thank you for living inside me with all your love, with your pure and boundless spirit, with your warm and radiant light.
Thank you for using my words, for using my eyes, for using my heart to share your love wherever I go. I love you just the way you are, and because I am your creation, I love myself just the way I am. Help me to keep the love and the peace in my heart and to make that love a new way of life, that I man live in love the rest of my life……….AMEN
