The reason I created and called my latest workshops “AWAKENING HOUR WITH HANNA” is that I believe that our main purpose now as humans here on earth is to AWAKEN to who we are in our Truth.
I believe that when we are born and step into this human body, we forget how almighty and powerful we are as Co-Creators of our life and the world around us. We forget that we are eternal, limitless and unconditional Consciousness beings of Love experiencing ourselves in the human form. And as we forget this truth and feel disconnected from the Love that we are, we look for love in the wrong places, outside of ourselves…
The Truth is that the Love that we are all chasing for outside of ourselves resides within us all and is patiently awaiting our Awakening, our turning within, our surrendering to It and becoming extensions of It's Presence in creating our life here. And this is how we manifest what we love rather than what we fear.
And how do we do it?
By going WITHIN and undoing, erasing and letting go of all the erroneous, fear-based beliefs, all the negative labels and programs we accumulated of who we are throughout our life. We have to detox our minds and reconnect to that eternal almighty power of Love that we are. It is only then that we can transform our life to live in peace, happiness and freedom.
But we can only do this by becoming fully responsible for our emotions, especially the hurtful ones, and most importantly to see them all, rather than as our enemies which we have to resist, deny or numb. The truth is that they are our good friends. They are our best guides on this journey of awakening and healing.
If you attended my workshops or read my blogs, you know that the world we see is a mirror of our thoughts, images and vibration, of our beliefs about this world that we hold in our subconscious mind. These beliefs are 100% created by us; By the meaning we gave to the hurtful events in our past. As we created them, we are also responsible for our feelings and emotions, as they are a direct result of those thoughts which are fed by those beliefs.
So, our power here as humans lies NOT in projecting the blame onto others for the way we feel or demanding the world to change in order to make us happy, fulfilled, safe, or at peace. Instead, we have to change our opinion, our perception of this world and with that our vibration, as the world we see and experience is but a mirror of our perception.
Our anxieties and hurt emotions are like flags showing us that there is nothing wrong with us but that we just made the wrong decision and listened to the wrong voice. That we have been seeing the world with eyes and beliefs of the hopeless, powerless, scared, abandoned and unloved child.
Our present painful emotions lead us to our past traumas, when we gave a fearful, disempowering and erroneous meaning to what was going on in our life at that time and when we labelled ourselves as worthless, hopeless, unlovable and powerless failures.
So now we have an opportunity to reconnect to that trauma, to look at it, understand where it came from and only then we can change the meaning we hold about it. And this is how we change our beliefs about ourselves and the world around us. We replace powerlessness with almighty, powerful and sovereign. We replace worthless with worthy and lovable, failure with being a winner, not good enough with being more than good enough, insignificant with being essential here… And this is how we become the powerful co-creator of our life - a life that we want rather than one that we fear!
And this leads me to FORGIVENESS. I think it is vital in our awakening to see the true meaning of what forgiveness is.
It is not to see ourselves as powerless victims or suffering martyrs in order to earn our atonement when facing the big man upstairs when we leave this body.
Forgiveness is to take full responsibility for how we feel. And instead of turning to blame and attack, we look at our fears and decide not to listen to them nor our ego’s interpretation of what they mean about us. When we project our blame onto others for how we feel, we give our power away, we become the powerless hostages of fear, shame, guilt and anger and we are the magnet for experiences filled with those hurtful emotions. We are stuck in a vicious circle. We lose the battle and miss the opportunity to liberate ourselves, to heal and to transform our lives.
But when we awaken to the truth that the shame and guilt came from our own mistaken interpretation, our own judgment that we put on ourselves at the time of our traumas, we realise that when we are triggered now and those emotions come up to the surface, they are not proof of our powerlessness or unworthiness or whatever our ego holds us to believe. We now look at them and feel them with no resistance or judgment. We turn to Love to be our judge and guide us now. With our breath, we turn our focus within to our Heart Centre where that Love resides.
And we find out this Love is not saying to our attacker - “You did me wrong, but I will be so all forgiving and I will push the shame and guilt that I feel now deep within me and put a smiley mask on it”. Instead, we witness a new meaning that is given to the hurtful event – “Your opinion and action towards me IS NOT mine but is YOURS. I don’t accept it for myself. I choose Compassion to be my guide here and therefore none of those self-sabotaging labels and judgments can be programmed in my subconscious mind and my energy field. As I don’t accept them for myself, they stay with you. They do not define me”.
Forgiveness is to see what is happening in our life with equanimity and with no judgment or investment in attacking others in order to protect ourselves from our enemy. We don’t defend ourselves, as we know that whatever happened to us in the past has not taken our innocence, our purity, our worthiness of love away from us. It did not make us undeserving of love or happiness, nor did it make us not good enough. It did not make us sinners, filled with shame and guilt.
NONE OF WHAT HAPPENED TO US DEFINES US.
As ACIM says “In my defencelessness my safety lies”. So instead of defending ourselves, we turn to God – the Love within us - to guide us here, to be the judge for us here. And this is how miracles appear…
This is the most important and the most powerful choice we can make in our life. But nobody can do it for us but ourselves.
When we take responsibility for our emotions, thoughts and beliefs, we claim back our sovereignty, safety and freedom. When we turn and surrender to Love in challenging situations, we discover and reclaim our true, almighty power of being the co-creator of our life. And this is why Forgiveness has been claimed to be the most powerful tool in reclaiming that power.
The Truth is that we are not here to suffer; we are here to awaken. And the awakening is an ongoing process of erasing the old programs in the computer of our mind and updating them with the new ones, so that we stop seeing and recreating our life with our past wounds, with the interpretation and meaning of the hopeless little child.
Below are the best tools for awakening and reclaiming our freedom, sovereignty and power in creating our life:
Be Present with yourSelf in everything you do. Be present with your breath and connect and rest in your Heart centre. Become the un-judgmental observer of yourself, of what is going in your body and your mind. As per the teachings of Buddha, watch your thoughts with equanimity and trust that this too will pass.
When challenged, instead of reacting, take a deep breath and go within, with no judgment or resistance, and become the observer of yourself and your emotions. This in itself reconnects you to your Power where miracles are created.
Then if you have more time, go deeper and ask yourself what thoughts are creating those emotions? They will guide you to the suppressed traumas, to the pain body that is running the show here and keeps you as its prisoner.
Now you can ask yourself whether it is true what that voice says - “Is it true that when someone is angry with me, I have to fight back to prove them wrong and protect myself by attacking them back? Is it true that if I don’t get what I want, I am unsafe and an unlovable reject? Is it true that if I get things “wrong” (whatever that means), I am a worthless loser or failure or not enough?“
Then you can say with conviction, “That's not me, that's not true, and I choose to let it go!”. Now put your attention on it and release it by throwing it into an imaginary violet rainbow flame or Golden Christ light in your mind, whatever feels right for you.
Now you can install a new positive affirmation and belief. Create the image of what you want while vibrating with love for it. Become it, fuse with it, feel it as if it is already in your reality now.
Then detach from it. Don’t chase it, just trust that it is already here and that everything is working out to your Highest good.
As often as possible, use Gratitude to change and raise your vibration and empower yourself with Love. Whenever we say thank you, we invite more of that into our lives. Whatever we focus on, becomes our reality - we become a powerful magnet to it. So, let’s make sure that we focus on what we want instead of what we dislike or worry about and fear.
To everyone who is reading this, I wish you all to have the courage to face all your pain-bodies, walk through your fears and let go of all your self-sabotaging beliefs.
Your purpose here is to awaken and remember that you are an almighty powerful co-creator of your life. That you are living Love, and your role is to take the responsibility to vibrate and create your life being Present with It. Know that you are worthy of that Love with no conditions or expectations attached. Trust that you are NEVER left alone or comfortless here. All you have to do is just to rest in this Love and let It guide you here on this human journey called life…
We all are the Light Sparkles of The Divine Love, the Beloved children of God.
CHOOSE TO BE GUIDED BY LOVE INSTEAD OF BEING A HOSTAGE TO FEAR.
