Kindness

I have discovered during individual consultations many messages will come through that share the same core theme. It has come to my attention that although each Akashic Record.session is full of personal guidance certain truths have a more universal application and are relevant to all of our lives. We are all a mirror of one another and while our journeys may differ we still are on the same path seeking greater understanding about ourselves and the roles we play. In essence we are on the great search for the meaning of love.

For several months now the message of “being kind to self” has dominated many of my consults. I believe understanding what this means is a message for all of us. I know we all can benefit from being kinder and more loving to ourselves and I would like to share with all of you what the Record Keepers have to say on this subject.

Stephanie: Through out many of the consults over the last few months you, the Record Keepers, have talked about being kind to oneself. Could you please elaborate more on this for us?

AR: We would love to. We are also very excited that you have chosen to take this step and share with others the events that are taking place within each individual person today. Make no mistake there is a movement of love and kindness spreading across the globe. All changes first happen internally and within the self. When we speak of being kind to oneself we want to bring the awareness into the foreground that many people are simply too critical and hard on themselves.
You are raised in such a way that most often the traits you exemplify are not satisfactory to others. This starts from a very young age at home. Then as you enter school and develop into an adult many of you have been molded to be very critical of oneself. Those individuals, be they parents or friends, teachers, brothers and sisters all give input to you believing they have your best interest at heart. We are here to tell you that deep inside of you, you have the wisdom to know what is in your best interest if you choose to listen. We want to help shift your perspective of how you view yourself. It is time to not only listen to others but to start listening to your heart.

Stephanie: And how do we listen to our heart?

AR: By understanding that before you can really love another you need to love the self first. All of you have perfected the process of being critical of oneself, creating self punishments and doubting ones self. There is a need to break this barrier. We have asked many of those who have come for guidance to light a white candle and to take a moment of silence to honor the self. Take a moment and be aware of your breath, your life force. Without breath you do not exist. We have asked you to take a moment during the day and thank the body for walking you through life, for performing many tasks that you never need to think about. Just imagine if you had to remind yourself every moment of the day to breath. Breath is a gift. A moment of thankfulness to the self goes a long way. Becoming aware of yourself starts with the body. Do you slump when you sit? What are your thoughts when you look in the mirror? Are your feet the same length or is one shorter than the other? Does one shoulder droop or are they even? When the foundation of a house starts to crumble the house is torn down! Why do you believe your body is any different? It is time to become aware of the body and heal the body so that it may function and perform the way it was designed to. Soul searching and getting in touch with the heart seems to be on everyone’s mind but the body is neglected. There is the little saying “Body, Mind and Soul”. Each one is interdependent on the other. So the next time you look in the mirror study your face, compare the right side to the left without being critical. Simply observe. Look at your feet, your hands and simply observe what you look like without negative thoughts. As you have a mind and heart the body too has an awareness within each cell and feels as well as absorb your negative and critical feelings towards the self. The harder you are on yourself the more negative thoughts you have about yourself, the more you are putting a wall up around you, where happiness and joy cannot make itself known to you. How can any of you make the changes you desire in your life if you cannot change your perspective about yourself? We would ask you to stop telling yourself you are not good enough or that you have failed in your ventures. Instead view yourself from the perspective that you now have a wealth of experience that you have learned from and you now are able to build your goal from the knowledge you have gained by your previous experiences. They are not failures but pools of knowledge and wisdom that can only be gained by “being” and “living”. You say you make mistakes we say you are maturing, developing, growing, you are “becoming”. Some of you believe you are a mistake or failure, we say you are “pure love” on the journey of discovering this for yourself.

Each morning take a moment before leaving the house and feel your breath and know you are nurturing your body with oxygen that is vital to your well being. When you feel off balance during the day take a moment to feel your breath, to bring the awareness back to yourself so that you may feel balanced and centered again. Light that candle in the evenings to honor your “being”. Looking at the flame know this is your light, shinning through you and touches all those around you.

You all have observed when you throw a pebble in a pool of water that there are ripples that continue long after you no longer can see them. We would ask you to understand that you are the pebble and you are creating ripples every day. The kinder you are to yourself, the more loving and accepting you are of yourself the greater of a loving impact you have on others. To help create a better world start by being kind to yourself. The impact you will have in your world is greater than you can imagine. The kinder and more accepting you are of yourself the more of a domino effect you will observe around you. Love, joy and laughter is infectious. We know this can be a struggle for everyone of you. Here too we would like to remind you that every day is a new day, a new opportunity to learn, to break through the artificial barriers you have created to get to know the real you, to find the light in you that shines pure love. Once you start changing your perspective about yourself the clearer you will be able to hear the message of your heart. Your heart guides you always.

Stephanie: I would like to thank the Record Keepers for sharing their message of love and kindness with us. I hope we all will take some of their wisdom into our hearts and start creating the changes by being more kinder and loving to ourselves.

May Love and Light shine upon all of you always,
Stephanie
