For unto us a child is born

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Long ago a child was born
His mother chaste and pure
He held a love the world had lost
His heart would bring its cure

The prophets had foreseen this One
The Light of love reborn
And all who kept the vigil knew
A promise was forsworn

This One would be a Kingly man
No jewels or gold need He
But Love and Peace and Gentleness
His throne would oversee

Into our world the Prince of Peace
Made entrance from the sphere
Where Angels’ voices still create
The Gloria atmosphere

So ‘Christ on High Messiah reigns’
The Angels all do sing
And Mary Queen of Heaven hails
Hosanna to our King

Recognising the symbols, themes and influences in life

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of a snakeI was born in the year of the Snake.

When I made this discovery, I felt an immediate rapport with these much-feared, slithering creatures.

I don’t have a fear of snakes.

I’ve never had reason to.

Unlike those who do fear them, I find myself excited when they make an appearance in my life.

I see them as sacred messengers of Spirit, who cross my path to impart some wisdom.

And just as nature holds messages for me, so do many other facets of my life.

My astrological signs, animal totems, past lives, angels and every other influence of that nature, have each had their own significance and impact.

Whether subtle or profound, each of these elements are all a part of the jigsaw puzzle which is my life. Continue reading

Prayer for remembrance

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image: tinyfroglet

Dear God,

Today I call upon Your Name
and on my own.

Knowing that calling upon Your Name
is calling on my own.

As I repeat Your Name, I invite angels
to surround the ground on which I stand.

To sing to me as they spread out
their wings, to keep me safe and
shelter me from every wordly thought
that would intrude on my holiness.

As I repeat Your Name
please remind me of who I AM,
and by doing so acknowledge Who You are;
sole Creator of reality.

Let Your Name become the
all-encompassing idea that
holds my mind completely.

Through remembrance of You,
may I achieve a state in which
I experience the gift of grace.

As I repeat Your Name please render
all little names meaningless,
all little things silent,
and little sounds soundless,
so that little things of the earth
disappear.

With only Your Name remaining,
may I walk fully immersed
in thoughts of You today.

Thank You
Amen.

A prayer created from the teachings of Lesson 183 in A Course in Miracles. © Karen Scott 2013

Guarding Angel gracefully
Let your beauty shine

Speak of Love ethereal
Light, and soul divine

Whisp and float serenely
Lighter than the air

Messenger from heaven
Precious, sweet and fair

Invite the Angels into your life

By Karen Scott 6 Comments

Image of a bridge in JapanOver the years I’ve practised as a therapist, I’ve been filled with many moments of grace.

The Angels — who I actively invoke every day, and who’s guidance I request with every encounter — have repeatedly given me visions and insights for those I’m assisting, as well as enlightened me about what’s taking place as I engage people.

I’ve been guided to particular books in related fields where the message contained is consistent with what I’ve been shown by the Angels in my own work.

I’ve had the experience where I’ll begin to use some new technique, totally intuitively, only to discover it belongs to a whole modality of its own.

It’s not uncommon for me, before I embark on any new form of study or practice, to start to see, think or feel new experiences that support or reflect fully the new material.

In this way, grace is active in guiding me — without any fear on my part — to every new experience and encounter in my life and in my work.

The Angels ensure that, if I’m doubting something, they provide me with confirmations — which take various forms — to reassure me and encourage me in that direction.

It never ceases to surprise and amaze me. And, even after all these years, I still feel the excitement of a child when the Angels make their presence known to me.

And you can experience the Angels, too.

Through meditation, invocation and surrender, you can cross the bridge, which leads from this world into Spirit. Continue reading

How to be an instrument of healing

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of Healing handI feel that grace and healing are intrinsically linked.

They merge together to create moments of love — which is the greatest healer.

And, as we know, love can manifest in many different forms such as joy, laughter, or even tears of relief.

Like grace, healing is not something that can be decided upon.

We can decide that we want to be a vehicle for healing or that we would like to receive some healing. But we can’t decide when, where or what form the healing takes. That’s not our role. Continue reading

Truth’s promise

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a golden compass

Image: geebee2007

Everyday I wait in faith
The Truth alive I see
And everything I come to know
As Truth it comes from Thee

All the Angels lay in wait
To call all children near
So that time might be erased
And lessons become clear

Every mind that hears the call
Ready soon will be
And every heart awake in Truth
Will fly to heaven free

All time and space will disappear
As Truth and Love stand strong
Reality will rule the hearts
Of all before too long

God’s time on earth approaches now
The Angels forge the way
The Holy Spirit whispers
To God’s children each new day

So ready is God’s Kingdom
To Light the world again
With all the goodness lost to us
All sorrow at an end

Each child alone will make a choice
For God or wordly dreams
This is the Free Will talked about
In all of history’s reams

As we move towards the time
Of Love and Light and Truth
We make our vigil nourished with
The wholesomeness of youth

Innocence and blessedness
And Peace and Joy and Love
And blessings are the treasures
Given from all Those above

Awakening — the Angels make their presence felt

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a doveAt the time in my life when my faith was being tested, I prayed.

My life was filled with prayer from a very early age.

My mother’s example of praying while she worked (I think the only time she isn’t praying is when she’s speaking — and she does a lot of that too!), had been instilled in me. I attended Mass on Sundays and followed all the devotions of Catholicism.

But during this period of my life, the practices of Catholicism weren’t addressing any of the deeper questions I was being faced with.  I spoke to priests, nuns, friends and family, but no one could tell me what I needed to hear, as Catholic dogma seemed so embedded in their responses.

Prayer to the Heavenly Father

Golden Light
Attending Angel: Archangel Raphael

Dearest Heavenly Father,

I ask for Your help today.
Please send Your loving Angels
to be with me and guide me on my Path.
Infuse me with the active power of
Your Greatness and Your Love.
Restore my faith in myself,
and Your ability to affect positive change
through me, in the many situations
I encounter this day.
I open my mind to receive Your Golden Light
which radiates through me, so that everyone
and everything I touch,
is imbued with sacred power.
I invoke Divine Power.
I invoke Divine Love.
I invoke Divine Wisdom.

Thank You,
Amen.
