Inspired moment

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of sun and mountainUndulating, strong, serene
Peace on Earth
As above so below
Lungs of this world
Breathe life

Resuscitate
Expired, empty fragments
Of consciousness
Birthed as One
Wholly unified

Restore truth
Of One Source
Eternal Will
Supplicates in surrender
The mortal being

White light

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of light in the sky

Image: zunlightimages

Pure is white
Not fractured light
Essential fine and calm

It is the Truth
Of Spirits whole
Of Ones who cause no harm

Of Ones who see
Eternity
Is written in the Soul

The blessed
And the knowing
Sharing all that makes us whole

The Easter gift

By Karen Scott 4 Comments

Easter — Eostre,
New Beginnings
Bunnies, eggs
New life abounds;
From a distant
Time and country
Symbols formed
And shaped around

Pagan stories
Filled with myth
Power placed in
Nature’s kind;
But One had
A different message
All within
One Blessed Mind

How to teach us
Such a learning
Held in deepest
Love for all;
Only such a One
Could teach
And lift us up
From such a fall

Remembered for His sacrifice
As if He Thought His body real
But He knew through His forgiveness
Each and every mind would Heal

Master, Teacher
Dearest Son
Brother of all men
Is He
Christ within;
Each child of God
This message True
He brought to me

Easter stories
Bring a blessing
To forgive
Our heavy heart
By extending
Love to others
Forgiveness, the
True Healing Art

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

Ocean of Light be revealed
Scales fall from my eyes
Day of dawning glory sealed
Vision in the skies

Helpful light shine on with zeal
Bless each heart and mind
All are needing love to heal
True hearts blessed will find

The healing power of confession, and of hearing others confess

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a butterflyConfession, now known as the Rite of Reconciliation, is a Catholic sacrament in which we share our transgressions with a priest.

According to church law, the priest has the power to absolve the sins of anyone who confesses to him.

Many non-Catholics don’t understand why we should confess. Why we should bear our souls to a perfect stranger, or worse still, to a parish priest who has known us since infancy.

Yet, through my work, I’ve come to understand the incredible healing power of confession. Continue reading

Vulnerability, the sacred space of strength

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of dragonfly on waterlilyLife is a process of unfolding.

Like the petals of a delicate flower, we open and move into new states of grace. As we open ourselves more fully, we become increasingly more vulnerable and exposed.

But this isn’t a fragile place.

Quite the contrary.

Within the heart of vulnerability lies the realisation that love can’t be fully experienced whilst we actively keep secrets or try to withhold or protect ourselves.

Keeping secrets leads to fear and guilt. This wastes our precious energies. On the other hand, within our vulnerability sits our tenderness, gentility and compassion. And it’s here that our true strength is seated.

The ability to be gentle yet strong creates a powerful healing force, which gives permission to others to let their defences down when they’re around us. This allows us be open to loving communication and fulfilling experiences. 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

Treasure found within

By Karen Scott Leave a Comment

Image of a ball of light

Image: Spirit-Fire

Take this Orb contained within
Light the night sky bright
Fill each vessel from the port
Of thy blessed sight

Steady with each step you take
Forward is the way
Every hand that’s filled with hope
Defeats the dark night’s fray

When all the world is joined in love
And every heart is true
And all eyes see the blessedness
Of every peaceful view

We all above have triumphed
As joy fills every day
Because each Orb contained within
Is lit and shines the Way

While you’re being ‘professional’ are you still being yourself?

By Karen Scott 2 Comments

Image of happy faceIn our modern world, the word ‘professionalism’ has come to represent an ideal of standards and quality in business.

We don’t only expect professional work to be presented to us in the best possible model available, but for it to be presented to us by someone who epitomises, what we consider, a professional image.

Whilst this is great at the level of feeling that the work we’ve paid for has been delivered in the best possible way, it’s not so great when we consider what might be going on for the individual behind the image. Continue reading
