Into the Star

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of an angel

I sink into my centre
Not peaceful … or still
But alive with Creation

Feeling and movement
Awaken the star within

In a surge of power
I’m transformed
And enter the Void

Through graceful motion
I’m carried away

My wings released
I fly to the heavens
To merge with the Star

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

Freedom’s call

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Rid my heart of all that’s waste
See the shore with rhythmic haste
Touch the sky
Know why I
Say goodbye
Released

Seem to know the troubled hearts
Pierced by fear’s defensive darts
Peace to be
Pure and free
Forever me
Pain ceased

Next time when the call is made
Light ensures the truest aid
Rest a while
To compile
Truth’s real smile
With Me

Now that you have learned the key
To life’s peace and tranquillity
Share it all
Have a ball
Don’t be small
Be Free

Prayer for every day

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of leaf on water

Dear God,

May I find the courage
to open my heart truly,
to love fully,
and to give freely.
Help me to let go the need
to understand everything
as it is happening.
So I can open my mind to receive
Your Wisdom.
Please show me what You want me to see,
and take me where You want me to go.
Let me always know what to say,
and who to say it to.
For my highest good
and the highest good
of all concerned.

Amen.

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.

Atheist or believer, it’s still a matter of faith

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of Virtruvian ManI always watch with fascination when a panel or interviewer brings together an atheist and a believer.

Usually, they’re very well educated, and it always ends up being a competition rather than a sharing of different beliefs.

Of course, I’m always hoping the chosen representative of my team, The Believers, will say the things I’m thinking and win a point for our side.

But what usually follows is a steady and consistent thrashing as The Atheists pull their punches and win the day.

Their arguments often include, ‘God is for the weak minded who don’t like to face reality’, and ‘where’s the proof?’

I’m not sure if it’s my bias or a truly honest observation, but it seems to me that The Atheist becomes increasingly aggressive whilst The Believer, often a cleric, withdraws. Continue reading

God versus The Universe

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of star HD 820Over the years, I’ve found that I’ve had an uneasiness about use of the term ‘The Universe’.

Many people uncomfortable with the word ‘God’ seem to use the ‘The Universe’ as if the two were interchangeable.

I didn’t know what caused my uneasiness, but it was there whenever I heard this expression.

Conversely, I found that many, many people objected to, or were even offended by, the word ‘God’. So many people have negative associations with this word, largely owing to unpleasant and even sometimes detrimental experiences with religion, its teachings, or its clerics.

However, none of this explained my aversion to the ubiquitous new-age term ‘The Universe’. Continue reading

Surrender

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of heart-shaped water drop

Image: Spirit-Fire

The Voice sounds in my heart
And I respond

Like a dance between two shores of existence
My soul sways to and fro in reply

Until it ceases
And the silent Presence engulfs me

Safe
At peace
Cocooned in softness

My living presence expands and contracts
As I throb with life

A healing has begun
