The Art of Listening…

Bless Bless Bless God/Jah/Love!

How’s your heart? Your mind? Your physical body temple? Checking in with SELF as often as necessary is at the tippy top of the list. We must continue to learn how to connect and reconnect with ourselves in order to deeply listen to our own inner voice and guidance. “The voice of God,” By: Dante Bowe. A song I often listen to that has be sent to many others throughout the past several years. Take a listen and give yourself permission to really listen beyond the lyrics, and let me know your heartfelt resonation.

Are you listening?

I started this particular blog May 24th, today’s date is now June 16th; almost a month later…

Here is what I have learned:

1. God has me in such a unique space
2. I am exactly where I need to be, not always where I want to be (in certain areas of my life)
3. My Love life is flourishing and thriving unlike ever before – there’s a huge difference in being in a relationship; relating to someone and being in an actual REAL/TRUE partnership
4. I am much more willing and open than ever before
5. Communication is truly the KEY
6. I stopped looking to a parent figure to heal parts of my childhood
7. Money is a powerful tool/resource, however LOVE is the most powerful of them all
8. I am much more of a homebody than I would’ve admitted
9. God is so REAL it leaves me speechless, and yet I often have so much to say and share on the topic – I mean what is there to actually speak about without mentioning the intelligence of The One
10. Love continues to open me; I am attracting all the beings God needs me to see and experience

This title; the Art of Listening – oh what learnings we can take away from one simple conversation when we take the position of listening without the need to respond, react, or engage. The pure unfiltered art of listening. The sounds beyond and beneath the silence. Are you listening?

Lately, I have been sitting back and listening to the thoughts I observe, to my partner, and those I am blessed to interact with. I see the beauty and also the deep sadness. I see the miracles and also the tragedies. I hear the screams and also the shrieks of silence. I know Love leads the way especially when it presents as the last option. Lately, I have been being and in full transparency that hasn’t “seemed” to be quite enough.

I observe since being back in the states there’s more of an emphasis on money and doing, and so I am having to sit and listen and balance – the sacred dance of balancing ones thoughts, dreams, emotions, and daily activities. I also observe how open I truly am to life and all its offerings, I find myself to be quite remarkable and that feels wonderful to acknowledge and say about myself. What a ways I have come regarding my self talk and admiration; God is always at work. “Don’t quit before the miracle.” I used to judge myself all of the time, every little thing would be catastrophic in my head – Thank GOD that changed!

I could go on and on and one day I will write about it all…

Until then, I Love you and I am here to remind you this:

God/Spirit/Love is right where you are AS YOU ARE! You are perfect as you are, and you are worthy of Love, grace, kindness, compassion, and joy. The best is yet to come. You are never ever alone – especially in the darkest of times. Keep that chin held high and know you are being cheered on.

Radical Love,

“You can’t rush your healing”

Blessings Family!

Per usual checking in…how’s your heart? What is the mind observing? How’s your nervous system? Is there anything you can offer yourself in this moment to support your overall well-being?

As I type these questions I am asking myself these very same things. As of late my emotions have been pretty high and not as consistent as I would like, however I am so grateful to have awareness. My goodness, what a game changer awareness is to our lives. Awareness offers us the opportunity to make a different choice(s) in said moment and by doing so we begin the process of rewiring our neuropathways offering cellular levels of healing to take place.

Currently I am sitting in the sun receiving its healing properties, warmth, and gentle reminder of how all-consuming God is.

The last two weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions, all-consuming thoughts, and the constant (daily) choice(s) of choosing Peace, Love, Compassion, and my overall well-being (specifically my mental health). As I approach each day I am doing so with the fullness of my heart, and that was not always the case. For many years I was stricken with the perception that my mind would never be well, nor would I be able to deeply innerstand my emotional disposition let alone bandwidth and capacity. Through patience, practice, and consistency you can heal and have new experiences outside of your own neurosis, suffering, and trauma.

My message to you is this…stay the course, your course that is. Yes, it is important to listen when you are guided to listen and move when you are guided to move, however remaining open and willing will be key game changers in experiencing joy and healing. Many will project their own perceived fears and inadequacies on you, please know what God has placed upon you and in you can never be taken away nor altered by another. What’s written in the stars will forever and always be written. God is no respecter of persons, meaning this beautiful Loving Presence doesn’t have chosen people, we have all been chosen by Love.

Choose YOU, God is choosing you always in all ways.

I Love you all, and my Prayers in the Affirmative state are knowing and seeing Peace, Love, and Joy at the forefront of all our lives and dispositions.

Love is the greatest force we have, let us continue to tap into the Divine Intelligence that God IS.

With all my Love,

Rachael Rose

“Love is a Fire”

Drawing the mind back…drawing it back to Love.

I am Listening…

Blessings Family!

Taking a few moments to pause, rest, release, and reset…how’s your heart? What are you observing? What is presently presenting itself to you? What is seeking to be emerged? How can you show up in healthier more Loving ways for yourself?

Life and emotions came rushing in, or so that seemed to be the case. I recently received some interesting news that in full transparency was not so shocking, however what was shocking and jarring was the pull it had on me. At this point in my life I am not jarred by much, however I am seeing how past pains come and creep in from time to time. What I noticed and observed was anger came creeping in and slowly began to suffocate my airways. As much of a communicator I am, I was stricken by fear, and lots of it. The fear of the past repeating itself. The fears of repeating the same cycles that I have worked so hard to break. The fear of being left because of the emotional pain that in seasons resurfaces for me.

And then God reminded me through my partner that I am held, and that God is not ever going anywhere. My partner reminded me last night that SHE also isn’t going anywhere, and boy what reassurance that was for me, those words that I so desperately didn’t know I needed to hear.

The shared information that I received almost felt like a dagger to the heart, and after some hours had past I realized how hurt I was. I realized how not ok I was in those moments. Usually I am able to process my feelings, thoughts, etc. in the moment, however that was not the case with this scenario. Today is the first day that I haven’t cried on and off all day, and although the day is young the thickness of the pain has left.

I am sharing with you all in hopes that you may become a little more aware of all that is occurring in the background of your heart, Spirit, body, and emotions. Many of us for so long have repressed, suppressed, and pushed aside all that has been revealing itself to us. All throughout the days we receive signs, signals, and direction…are we open and available to listen?

The title; “Love is a Fire” is not only a phenomenal book, it is also a powerful metaphor for life. Love, pure and true is meant to burn away all lies, and wash away all impurities of the mind. For only fear can take hold of us first in the mind and then spread like wild fire. As I type these words, as God as my witness I am here choosing Love to be the thing itself that burns and washes away all lies!

Wherever you are in your day, journey, path, season…this too shall pass. God/Love is with us expressing Itself through you and me, AND we are responsible and accountable for our lives and the choices we make.

Holding you all in my heart and Prayer while Affirming the Truth!

With all my Love,

The Art of Loving Communication…

Blessings Family!

Currently at the airport in Lima awaiting my flight to America where I will be for the next several months. Before we begin let us check in with ourselves and see if anything is present.

How’s your heart? Is anything pressing Emotionally? Mentally? Spiritually?

I had to do the same thing for myself a short while ago which is what prompted this post. I have found there’s such beauty and grace in checking in with myself especially when I know and feel the twinge within. Most times I can readily identify what is going on within or what buttons are being pressed, and other times I need a bit to allow space and time for the emotions to settle and process.

I am so grateful to be where I am in my life particularly with the level of emotional intimacy and intelligence I have cultivated within. Now, this has not come easy nor has it come without bumps and bruises. Nonetheless here I am, and I am grateful for every step of the way. I recently finished co-hosting a 7-day retreat here in the sacred valley of Peru alongside my brother. Not only was it a wonderful experience it also revealed much to me about ME, what a blessing. During our week together much Loving communication was expressed while there were also many opportunities for me to practice Loving awareness through effective and Loving communication.

Whewwwww, what a life this is, what a blessing this life is, and what a revelation to know I am living in my Prayers. I made the choice to write this post because of the keen importance of Loving communication through expression, patience, kindness, and honor. And when I say honor I am referring to honoring myself, my needs, and my relationship with my partner. She and I have excellent communication, and even still we have moments where we are desiring rest, feeling emotional (usually me), or a sense of being overwhelmed is present.

I am honored to be apart of such a Divine union and connection and work of art that IS our Love story. The ways in which we are able to move through and navigate murky waters in moments is truly a testament to our Love – and what is most palpable is our respect for one another. Whether you are in a new relationship or have been with your person for fifteen plus years it is important to remember we will always be learning ourselves and our partners.

Something I started to ask myself a few years ago in my life was this; what is more important to me…being right or being listened to and understood. I do not care or wish to be right, however I do deeply desire to be honored, Loved, respected, and cared for in the most tender ways. And what I just described is exactly what we have been co-creating together. What I find isn’t often spoken about regarding relationships is how the two people communicate when challenge or discomfort or newness arises. Well, all of that is present here for us as we are integrating our lives in all the ways and we are holding nothing back.

This post is dedicated to my Lover, my best friend, and the one in which I get to learn and grow beside. Thank you for honoring this Love with me in all the ways we choose to daily.

Family, life is beautiful and precious, and also very delicate in many many moments. Practicing Loving awareness while communicating with your partner and/or Loved ones will make all the difference in your relationships.

Love is the answer.

With all my Love,

Rachael Rose

This is a Love I will cherish…

Blessings Beautiful Souls!

Coming to you in the wee hours of the rising, as it is 3:59a here in the Sacred Valley of Peru. Checking in with you and your heart and mind…what is currently present? What do you observe? What is asking to be released and let go of? What is seeking to emerge? What greatness are you withholding? How are you showing up in Love? What areas of your life are you withholding Love in your life for Self and your Loved ones?

A few questions to ponder and sit in Prayer and Contemplative Meditation.

As I mentioned I am currently back in the Sacred Valley of Peru, specifically Urubamba – where my brother, Tramon and I are hosting our first Rest and Restoration Retreat. This Retreat is a byproduct of patience, Trust, acceptance, and surrender. Tramon and I planned and mapped out this retreat last year and we quickly learned that was not the time or season for us to see this through. We remained faithful and knew that season would come, and here we are. I am sharing this with you because per usual I am being asked to Trust and Surrender to this unfathomable Love that will always leave me in shock, awe, and amazement. I constantly am in AWE of Gods grace and unwavering Love for me, this beautiful mind of mine, and all the ways I am learning, growing, and stretching.

“Your steadfast goodness, your Loving kindness. God is so much better, so much better, so much better. Can’t nobody Love me like you, you keep on giving me life.”

Song: Can’t Nobody; By: Housefires

I entitled this post “This is a Love I will cherish” for two reasons; one because Gods Love is the THING ITSELF that sustains me and all areas of my life. And secondly because of the Love I am receiving from God through my partner. The ways in which God and I have been tilling my soil, specifically speaking around my heart and finances – ONLY GOD! Constantly being cracked open more and more and more so that there’s only room and space for LOVE. Yesterday was challenging for me and what I learned from what I was moving through and what was moving through me is that God is TRULY NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. Meaning, God does not waver with anyone, and is not one way in one moment and another way in a different season. God is not a withholding God, and this Presence does not know lack, or limitation.

Spirit, I cherish the connection we have, and although being a devotee presents many a new growing edges (seemingly daily) I am honored to choose this path and life. We are all chosen, ALL!

Wherever this blog post may find you in consciousness please know through the power of awareness, Affirmative Prayer, and Meditation you can and will change all areas of your life through the POWER OF PRACTICE. Being witnessed yesterday by all beings involved in this retreat especially as a facilitator was and is extremely powerful and liberating for me. God showed me how held I am in the midst of it all.

I simply wish to say THANK YOU.

With all my heart and soul,

Rachael Rose

Closer than the breath I breathe…

Blessings Beautiful Souls!

Welcome to this new moment, this new day, this new breath…

A song I have been listening to entitled “Closer” by Maverick City says God is closer than the breath we breathe and closer than the thoughts we think; and THANK GOD FOR THIS!

Before we continue let us take a moment to check in…breathing in through the nose and out through the nose or mouth, deep intentional belly breaths. What do you notice? What do you observe? What feelings/emotions are present? We are Loving awareness, no room or space for shame, guilt or judgement. Now take a few more breaths from this renewed space. Any shifts? Simply observe and continue to take the seat of being an explorer of Love and Self, continue to go within. You have the power to change anything you wish/desire!!!

God is closer than we know, it is our very lives! I stated last year entering into 2024 that I was going to talk about God more, and I have kept my word and promise. It’s the only “thing” I wish to talk about these days, for if we are not recognizing the THING ITSELF, what are we actually talking about? We are asking for more God…more of your power, more of your Spirit, more of your glory! Lead us. Guide us. Speak to us. ARE YOU WILLING TO LISTEN?

I said the other day I recognize I have a past, and also my past has no indicative notion of what’s in front of me! “Let your pleasure be known and felt!” Fill the room God, in all the ways, in all the things, in all the people.

I am elated to walk this walk and continue to choose the PATH THAT HAS AND CONTINUES TO CHOOSE ME. Holy Spirit, you are just that…HOLY/WHOLLY.

Wow, what a life. Do you wish/desire to change something in your life? If so, you must first change it within your mind…you must first see it in your consciousness before it will manifest in the physical. Are you willing to change your ways of thinking? Are you willing to have uncomfortable conversations with yourself and your Loved ones? Are you willing to exit your small mind in order to enter the kingdom of The Divine Mind?

ALL OUR FREE!

Liberation for ALL peoples of all creeds, sexual orientation, language, religion, geographic location, etc.

ALL PEOPLES ARE FREE!

I Love you all with the entirety of all that is within…GOD!

With all my Love,

Inner Child, Letter 18

Grand Rising Family,

Taking a few deep breaths in this moment with each of you, as you are me, and I am you. One Divine mind, One Divine heart, and One Divine Consciousness that we all have access to. Spirit before I begin, please let us thank you in this moment for all you offer us in every single moment in the ways of Love, Peace, and Grace.

How’s your heart? Taking a few moments to check in with yourself…scanning the heart, the physical body, and the mental & emotional bodies. There is no rush, this is the PRACTICE of sitting with yourself to observe and be the Loving witness.

As for me I am eternally grateful to have the heart and level of awareness that I do, and it continues to grow and expand. My heart is widening, and deepening, and in full transparency it is quite painful and excruciating in moments. What I have been leaning into through this season of discomfort and lessons is KNOWING the pain and challenges and lessons have been and are truly for my greatest and best and highest expression of life. Not always do I want to hear this or acknowledge this in said moment, I am human and the human does not in joy feeling sad or sitting with heartache. And that is A OK! For me, sitting with this heart of mine that does ache greatly in moments is also the alchemy of Gods goodness, so how could I ever not welcome it. In fact I do welcome these great inner awakenings and changes.

Here is the thing about Loving unconditionally the way that God Loves us…it is truly unfathomable. As I continue to learn to Love in brand new ways I am also sitting with grieving someone who I thought would be apart of my life in the physical for the duration of my life. And one thing about God/Spirit is when something needs to be removed it will be, for both parties. And this shit ain’t easy, in fact it’s quite gruesome and sad. What I rest in and find comfort in is knowing I am being led and held and guided. What I have come to deeply innerstand about myself is that my Love is not based upon the current, previous, or future position I may or may not hold with someone as it pertains to them being apart of my life.

As I continue on my path I am carrying my little one with me in all the ways I possibly can. I get to show her how safe she actually is because of the environment I am choosing to create for us. Life continues on and although pain is painful and grief is thick, neither of them stop JOY from entering into my REALITY and experience.

Wherever you find yourself I this moment may you know how deeply Loved, valued, cherished, and seen you are. God is no respecter of persons and is always with you, always!

With all of my Love,

Rachael Rose

Wrapped in your arms…

“With your arms around me, I am engulphed in your Love, this Presence of utter bliss, peace, and reckless Love.”

Welcome Family! All of you is welcomed here, all that you are in this moment, and beyond.

The Real essence of your being is here even if you feel you are at a stage of awareness that seemingly doesn’t align with where we desire to be.

God is the safest place to let it all go…

The air is thick, the lump in your throat feels like the size of a watermelon, and parts of you feel numb yet you feel everything so deeply.

You are not alone. Resonations of loneliness may occur, but I assure you you are never ever alone.

One of the most beautiful and majestic aspects of life is that we are all on our own unique path which is being guided by the most intelligent and creative director of all time.

There is no one formula for happiness, joy, or fulfillment…however there is ONE Love to ensure it remains Present in your life. And that is the ONE which is know by many as many different names. Whatever one chooses to call God, Source, Consciousness, Divine, Spirit, Rah, Jehovah, Christ, Buddha, etc, is not relevant to the communion one has with this Presence in the heart and soul.

God is the safest place to let it all go…

With your arms around me, fear was no match for your Love. Your reckless, relentless, extravagant, chase me down, follow me everywhere I go type of Love! God has given us choice, the power to choose a relationship with Its Presence. The way we live a life of ease, joy, peace, and fulfillment is to acknowledge Its Presence in everything and everyone.

Now, I understand this to be difficult, challenging, and in certain moments seemingly impossible. However, I am here to remind you we are not turning to a human being, we are turning within to the Source of ALL creation, the ONE Power and Presence that has created intelligence out of Its own Intelligence.

Let this Presence Love it all away…all of your fears, anxieties, depression, suicidal thoughts, worries, doubts, etc.

Surrender to this Presence, it is right here, right NOW in this Present moment Presenting Itself to you, open wide and receive this Love.

I Love you.

Unending Love,

Rachael Rose

“My Many Forms”

“My Beloved, I come to you in many forms. In some your recognize My Holy Presence and a hush fills yours soul. The air is sweet and there is a calmness and an abiding peace as at the quiet eventide. But again I come and you know Me not, for I come bowed down by the garments I wear of human woe. You feel stirrings of old hatreds, or past mistakes, confusion of mind. The waters are troubled and it is as if a great storm hovered over the land. Then it is you are apt not to know Me or recognize Me. Those who meet are also sad, and disturbed, carrying no sweet harmony as they come to you. But you must begin to see Me behind these dark cloaks of despair as easily as you see Me when I am clothed in My garments of joy and peace.

There is truly no one other than I to come to you and it is through your recognition of Me, that I am able to slip off the unseemly robes and wear the Wedding garments, as Soul and Body are wed and made one.

So you see the mighty responsibility with which you are vested. Only through you and others of My enlightened ones who now wear the brighter robes of Spirit can all men come to know their kingly estate.”

Book: The Voice of The Master

Author: Eva Bell Werber

Blessings Family,

I know I know, that was “a lot” to digest, but how does it taste?

Take a moment or several and regroup as we journey together in this blog post together. Its been quite some time since I have posted here, and I have recommitted myself to this platform and to post one blog per week, which I am extremely enthusiastic about.

Now, to the above piece…

What is written above is a lesson to which I am currently digesting, daily in fact as it has come to my front door, literally. Reminder in this moment, it is ALWAYS about US, the soul, the Self, the individualized expression of God/Source/The One. This book has and is changing me in unfathomable ways, in ways I didn’t think I needed. The above passage is such a testimony that we are always being guided in every solitary moment, especially those that “challenge” us and create a NEW growing edge.

What we perceive about ourselves is reflected in how we view and perceive others…with that being said any moment of judgement towards others is a moment of judgement towards SELF.

The challenge: I observe my “shying away/retreating” from neighbors whose energy doesn’t align with me.

Now, with this being said I am not saying to subject yourself EVER to any type of physical, mental, or emotional abuse. However, what I am saying is that to live this life of Service, we must always be aware of what is beneath the cloak. As the passage reads, God will come to us in many forms, and many will be that of suffering, sadness, and darkness. “So you see the mighty responsibility with which you are vested. Only through you and others of My enlightened ones who now wear the brighter robes of Spirit can all men come to know their kingly estate.” This statement is to remind us of our duty and obligation not only to our lives of Service, but to that communion to which we have and so desperately yearned for to and with Spirit.

So much more to be said on this topic, but I will stop here for now.

This is plenty for us to digest and come to a deeper and greater Realization of the Truth of who and whose we are in Love.

Radiant and Radical Love,

Rachael Rose

100% of YOUR half…

Happy Sunday Beautiful Souls!

Let us start by taking a few deep intentional breaths together, as we anchor in to the Truth of our being. The power of our breath is a direct correlation to the same power and presence of the ONE living and Loving God. Whether we make a conscious choice to acknowledge this presence and power is up to us as individualized expressions of God incarnate.

How’s your heart? What’s coming up for you in the way of emotions? Memories? How is your digestive system impacting your body? Are you hydrating? What are the foods, music, programming, etc. that you are consuming? Are you constantly tired/fatigued, or do you feel connected with optimal health?

These are some questions we can use to check in with ourselves on a daily basis.

Now, to dive into the nitty gritty of the title above…

“The Mastery Of Love” By: Don Miguel Ruiz is a life changing book that will have you reevaluating all you once thought you knew about Love, its perceptions, and the ways in which we as individuals show up in Love. For many years, beginning with my childhood I felt responsible for the happiness and well being of others, especially as it pertained to their mental and emotional welfare. As a society in general we are taught if you Love me you’ll do this or that. If you Love me you will do my part, and ease my suffering. If you Love me you will put me first and yourself on the back burner. If you Love me you wouldn’t leave me to do this or that alone. If you Love me you’d understand why I am the way I am. And the list goes on…

The TRUTH is; we are all individually responsible for ourselves, our own welfare – emotionally and mentally, our own healing, and our own relationship with SELF and God. So often we are looking for our spouse, boyfriend, girlfriend, parent, child, friend, etc. to do our part for us. We are constantly looking for another to “have our backs,” when in actuality we don’t have our own backs. We have grown accustomed to wanting others to put in the work for us because we feel inadequate. I am here to remind us all that nothing about us is inadequate, we are created whole and complete with absolutely nothing missing.

To live a heart centered/God Loving life means to put your needs above all others; and yes that will be labeled and judged by others as selfish or as I have been called; narcissistic. I was recently reminded that most humans want to be taken care of, and the moment you refuse to do someone else’s part you are no longer of value and or importance to them. And on top of that they will easily forget all the good you’ve ever done for them, and will say things like you don’t Love me, because if you did then XYZ. This is a sad Truth we all must face in order for us to have true freedom and dominion over ourselves, and our lives.

I encourage you all today to pause and take a few minutes to reevaluate/meditate/journal your interpersonal relationships and the ways in which you are showing up for yourself and others. What is your WHY? Are you doing XYZ for others out of fear? Out of abandonment? Out of seeking external validation? Out of thinking you must do for others so they “Love” you. This is not Love, this is manipulation at its finest.

My reminder to each and everyone of you is this…you come into this world bare bottomed in every sense of the word, and you will leave the same exact way. What we do in between DOES matter, and it is up to you to choose the life you truly desire. Continue to remain open, ask questions, do your own research, and continuously show up in Love especially when it doesn’t make sense. Stop living so much in your head, and enter your heart where it is warm and tender. The sacred path of the warrior knows their heart will be shattered time and time again, and continues on Loving in spite of, because of, knowing this is where Freedom remains.

I Love each and everyone of you!

Yours Truly,

Rachael Rose
