Love Oracle 32: Make Me an Instrument of Thy …

Do you believe that you’re connected to something more than your individual self? If you follow my work, I imagine you do.

I like to visualize an interconnected web of Oneness lined in points of light in which everything and everyone works together for the Highest Good of All. 

Yummy, right?!

So how are you a channel for the Divine?

How does The Creator work through you? How does God direct you to the right place at the right time to express His/Her Love to those on your Path? How open are you to receiving it through others brought into your life for that very same purpose?

Intuition is that communication channel between the Divine and His/Her individualized expression – i.e. you!

If you receive the message through one of your intuitive channels and you act on it! Wonderful!

If there’s static on the line because of anxiety or depression or simple lack of attention, your Team of Divine Helpers will try to deliver it another way.

And if you’re just not able to let it through, the message will be sent to someone else so that everything still works in the Highest Good of All.

I’ll never forget my shock when I spotted Flora Bowley’s book “Brave Intuitive Painting” at the art supplies shop. The content and even some of the chapter titles were the same as I’d received. Of course her art is very different, but done similarly with similar supplies and for similar reasons.

I didn’t pick up on the divine request to create that book, and so it went to someone else who was willing and able to follow through.

I’m so glad she did! She’s done an amazing job helping people through intuitive painting. I admire and support what she’s doing. I’ve even attended some of her online retreats and a live workshop in Bali.

Do I have regrets of not publishing my version of that book? No. I couldn’t have done the project justice at the time. And I’ve been used as a channel in different and fulfilling ways since.

My Team of Divine Helpers wasn’t angry, I’m sure. There’s still Free Will in this lifetime. It’s more of an “OK, Next person, next project!” type of situation.  All good.

This week’s Love Oracle is to help you explore how open you are to being a channel for the Divine. 

If you’re ready, give Mother Father God permission by praying: “Make me an instrument of thy peace, of thy Love”.

Then see which of the 3 paintings above speaks to you the most. Its Oracle Message is below.

Dear Beloved,

Do you have a true appreciation of the power of your prayers? Where attention goes, energy flows. 

When thousands meditate or pray for peace on earth, it makes a difference. You make a difference.

When you ask God to support your loved ones as they suffer and struggle on their Path, it directs waves of energy their way.

What kind of energy are you sending though? Are your prayers coming from the divine spark within you that trusts and is connected to divine light & love? Or are prayers tainted with your pain, fear, and desperation?

Whether you’re praying for others or for yourself, the right frame of mind is important.

According to Paramhansa Yogananda, the guru whose teachings are at the foundation of Ananda (where I’m doing karma yoga right now),

“we must overcome any consciousness of “lack” or that “I am tiny and separate from God.” We don’t beg God to solve our problems for us; we pray for the consciousness that empowers us to attract what we need. A “begging” prayer actually limits the power of the soul to draw what it needs.”

If you picked this painting, you’re being asked to acknowledge the power of your prayer and to take consciousness of how you pray.

Are you begging in desperation or uniting with Source to communicate your support for the manifestation of the Highest Good?

Are you ready to accept that sometimes, you don’t know what that is?

So go ahead, take a few minutes to pray for yourself, your loved ones, and all of humanity.

Know that when you do, you’re an instrument of Divine Peace & Love. You’re helping the flow of light shine brighter on the web of All That Is.

Then trust that your prayer was heard. Trust that everything is indeed happening for the Highest Good of all, even when that just doesn’t seem true.

Dear Beloved,

For an orchestra to sound good, all the instruments have to be in tune. If a violin is missing a string or the piano is off-key, the conductor won’t be able to deliver the concert as intended.

The same goes in the divine orchestra of spirits in human form.

For you to be an effective instrument of Divine Love & Peace, you have to keep your instrument in tune.

What does that mean to you?

For some, your instrument might be your mind. For others, your body. For others yet, your creativity or skills.

Just as there are many different kinds of musical instruments in an orchestra, there are many kinds of human instruments through which God can work through.

You are one of them for sure.

How are you serving this planet? How is Source able to use your individualized expression of itself to make a difference in the world?

If you imagine your Team of Divine Helpers saying, “We need to get a message to our person that their instrument is out of tune.”, what immediately comes to mind?

The first thing is likely the right one.

What inspired action can you take to tune your instrument?

Is it to focus on your physical strength or flexibility, eat healthier, calm the mind, devote time to learn new skills, follow your bliss, volunteer your services – or something else?

Just as a an orchestra conductor won’t expect the violin section to sound like the brass, you’ll never be asked to be or do something that isn’t you – the true you.

So go ahead, ask your Team of Divine Helpers to support your efforts to be in tune, so that you can add to the harmonious song of the Universe.

God’s orchestra needs you!

Dear Beloved,

You have healing hands.

Your touch is like a healing balm for the soul.

Have you ever been inspired to explore Reiki, Healing Touch, somatic touch therapy, Therapeutic Touch or any other modality that requires you to use your hands?

Practitioners of many of these therapeutic energy modalities are aware that they are channels for Divine Energy. They act as a conduit in order to help their patients.

There are many other ways that your hands can act as instruments of God’s love.

• Preparing a meal with love,
• baking bread,
• playing music
• creating art
• stroking your child’s hair
• holding your lover’s hand
• writing a love note or an inspiring post
• waiving joyously at a friend

The list is endless.

If you picked this painting, you’re being asked to become aware of the difference your hands make in a day.

Try this now.

Rub your hands together inviting Divine Energy to enter you.

Then place your arms up, palms facing forward to send that healing energy to the world. Now envision a loved one in your mind’s eye. Do it again. To strengthen the cosmic resonance, chant OM at the same time.

On behalf of the world, thank you.
