"Your consciousness affects every cell in your
body,
and every cell in your body affects your consciousness."
-Gary Zukav
Living in the consciousness of the "highest
good for all" creates strength, authenticity, and joy. Doubts
are minimized because we simply know our intention is connected with
the Source.
A Short List of Strategies
Trust the Highest Good is Operating. Just as we might
trust that the flower in the garden has roots, we trust that this
principle is working. We do not pull up the flower to check the roots.
As a child, we may have. Now we are grown up, so we trust the process
of growth.
Know that the Universe has only ONE response: it
is YES. When we say, "I hate her," the Universe says "yes"
by providing experiences of hatred. When we say "I love her,"
the Universe responds with experiences of love. Our beliefs and thoughts
have an energy that travels; that same energy travels back to us,
magnified.
Affirm "The Highest Good for All." We can
use this expression as a spoken or written affirmation. Spoken and
silent intentional affirmations help change mental programming and
release emotional trauma or confusion. Written affirmations help to
change us at a deep cellular level.
Take Our Hands Off. Individuals who have been successful
find this strategy one of the hardest. In the common business paradigm,
successful persons succeed because they know how to accomplish results,
how to manage and control. In these days of change we must take our
manipulative hands off so Spirit can work. We must trust the power
of the highest intention always serves us, all of us.
Meditate. Regular mediators live naturally in the
intention of the highest good. The purpose of meditation is to realize
our higher power. With regular meditation, it becomes natural to act
from and with high intention.
Reverse Roles. Role reversal is a familiar technique
in skills training and therapy. The process is simple: in a conflict,
we imagine ourselves as the other person or take that person's role.
In another person's shoes we can gain a greater understanding of the
person. This approach can sensitize us and make it easier to intend
the highest good.
This concept of "highest good for all"
is not a fantasy. At first, it may seem impossible, making us want
to argue against it. As the concept becomes familiar, we recognize
its spiritual value as well as its practicality. The phrase might
pop out of our mouths when we have not planned or thought consciously
about saying it. As we are attempting to embody the concept, we might
defend it. When we have truly embodied it, we do not need to defend
it, and may feel as if we have invented it! So goes the story of consciousness
lifting.
