You are not a victim and you can be happy and free.
UNIVERSAL LESSON: THE WORLD IS YOUR CLASSROOM, AND PEOPLE ARE YOUR ASSIGNMENTS.
Step 1: Recognize the assignment and call it by its name.
Step 2: Accept that you cannot avoid the assignment.
So instead of following fear, I recommend showing up for the assignment with grace. Be willing to show up for the assignment once and for all. And trust that the Universe never gives you what you cannot handle.
Step 3: Honor your feelings.
The practice of healing long-held suffering begins the moment you acknowledge
the suffering is there. Give yourself permission to witness your rage, your anger, and your hidden resentments.
But what we repress will persist no matter how good we get at avoiding it. While it may seem terrifying to face our deepest wounds, there is always freedom on the other side.
True healing occurs when you give yourself permission to feel whatever feelings live below the triggers.
When you notice that you’re triggered by your Universal assignment, breathe into the pain. Feeling the pain allows it to pass through you, and strips away its power.
Step 4: Call on compassion.
Compassion gives you permission to let go and allow deep healing to begin. The process of compassion begins with your self-talk. How would you speak to an innocent child if he or she was coming out of a meltdown? Think about the loving words and energy you would offer them. Then apply this same degree of love to yourself.
UNIVERSAL LESSON: THE PATHWAY TO HEALING OCCURS WHEN YOU LOVE YOURSELF SO MUCH THAT THE DARKNESS FROM THE PAST CAN NO LONGER CO-EXIST WITH YOUR FAITH IN THE LIGHT OF THE PRESENT MOMENT.
Step 5: Place your faith in the Universe.
Remember, the Universe will never give you anything that you cannot handle. No matter how difficult your universal assignment may seem, you can find comfort in the fact that the Universe is always supporting what is of the highest good.
“Thank you, Universe, for presenting me with this divine assignment for spiritual growth and healing. I am ready and willing to show up for this assignment with love. I welcome your support. Show me where to go, what to do, and what to say. I trust I’m being guided.”
Step 6: Take care of your side of the street.
We’re often afraid of being vulnerable, but vulnerability is incredibly powerful. It creates genuine connection.
Step 7: Welcome healing.
The final step is to allow the healing to occur naturally. All you need to do is have the willingness to accept the assignment, show up for it, and pray for it to be healed.
The Universe will do for you what you cannot do for yourself.
the power that lies in the experience of surrender.
UNIVERSAL LESSON: FREEDOM FROM THE PAST IS AVAILABLE TO YOU WHEN YOU SHOW UP FOR THE ASSIGNMENTS IN THE PRESENT.
Recognize the assignment and call it by its name: fear. Accept that you cannot avoid the assignment and be willing to show up. Your readiness will clear the path. Feel the feelings that live underneath the old pain. Call on compassion to clear the path. Ask the Universe for help, and rely on a power greater than you. Take care of your side of the street, and own your part in the situation. Welcome healing and expect miracles.
inner stories and ideas have been creating your reality.
“There are no ‘idle’ thoughts. All thinking produces form at some level.”
Your thoughts and words can affect your nervous system, your energy, and, really, your entire life experience.
Your energy is your greatest source of power.
Being in alignment with your presence means that you allow the energy of the Universe to move through you naturally.
UNIVERSAL LESSON: WHEN YOU EXPERIENCE SOMEONE’S TRUE PRESENCE, YOU’RE REMINDED OF YOUR OWN.
Step 1: Get out of the way.
The greatest block to our presence of love is the presence of fear.
Through prayer, I allow the loving energy of the Universe to guide my thoughts from littleness and doubt back to love.
I use this prayer: “I step back and let the Universe lead the way.”
Step 2: Calibrate your energy by meditating.
While sitting in the deep stillness of meditation, I notice my energy shift as it reorganizes with the energy of the Universe.
The images we receive in meditation can guide us to remember the magnificence of our true selves.
While practicing Kirtan Kriya, you’ll chant the mantra Sat Nam, which means truth identified, or truth is your name.
Use this meditation practice to slow down and tune in.
Step 3: Set empowering intentions.
The intention to be in your presence is enough to realign you to love. Setting an intention can be as basic as stating to yourself (silently or out loud) that...

In reality, the more joyful we are, the more light we shine on the world, the more power we have to express our presence, and the more positive energy we put out.
