Are There Steps to Heaven?
I believe a majority of us would say, “Yes, there are steps to Heaven!”
Most faith traditions have similar, widely accepted themes in their teachings: Treating others as you would want to be treated, forgiveness of self and others, care for everything with love and respect, and surrendering your will to that of the Divine.
How do we ascend these steps to heaven? And truly, what is heaven? I wish I knew, but do any of us know?
What I do believe is there is an opportunity for us to connect to our hearts to hear our unique Soul’s voice. We can become aware of the voice in a way that shifts us into a new way of being as the divine flows through us.
To live as authentic, individual sparks of light within a community where we connect and co-create with others to create a healthier, abundant and prosperous energy in this world.
Although we may get discouraged by what happens in the outside world what we do in our inside world really makes a difference.
7 Non Linear Steps to Heaven:
The Practical Steps to Start to Create Heaven on Earth
There is no one, straight, right path for everyone to connect with their Soul’s voice. You need to be open to the step or energy that is connecting you to the Divine in any given moment or circumstance, and allow it into your heart and mind. You know you’ve connected when magic and grace show up in your life and your world.
Step 1: Be Aware of the Cycles of Nature
In my blog Ancient Rituals, I wrote about the energy in the cycles of nature. “By focusing on the energy of the stars, the moon and planetary alignments, people would allow themselves to tap into that energy to make it easier to create positive change in their lives.”
Currently we are in a powerful window of nature: the blood moons, full moons, Lion’s Gate (8-8-8) and the Fall Equinox of light in September. These natural cycles are supporting and flooding us with light to continue to “evolve”, change the coding in our DNA, and to, with more ease than ever before, become the light are meant to be. “This time is a Soul Gate.” Now is the time to truly remember and be the magic you are. You have prepared for this. Read more about this Soul Gate 2015 Part 1 http://www.gisellekoy.com/giselle-koy/ This energy will continue through the September Equinox.
Step 2: Relax into Your Life
Life will always be busy. We can, however, step off the treadmill of overwhelm and confusion if you relax into your life and all its moving parts. I seem to have been prompted to write several blogs on relaxing. This is no accident of course. One of the steps to “heaven” is not to resist life. Consciously remind yourself to relax into whatever you are doing or where you feel inspired.
Step 3: Let go! Be Open to New Possibilities
Do your best to let go of being attached to what you think is best. This is really a big one!!! Let the Divine step in and support you. For example: You are working on a new project and feel sure you know how to get there. Then something unexpected happens and it changes your plan. Be open to how the energy shifts; the world is moving and changing rapidly now. The new changes will make whatever you are doing even more powerful. Remember to be open to possibilities in your relationships. As you let go, you make room for your relationships to grown and change in a new healthier way.
Step 4: Trust – Trust Yourself and the Bigger Plan
Believe, as you let go, you are realigning to a higher, easier path even if it doesn’t feel like it or look like it on the outside.
I was partnering with a wonderful Soul to give a course this past spring. The part I was contributing felt significant as I was creating it. At the last minute something unexpected came up for her. I decided rather than to go it alone, which I could have, to let go of what had felt divinely guided and inspired. But what happened within a week was so much bigger and more important for me to do. I would not have heard the message or had the time to focus on it if we had been busy doing our course. It would have taken me away from my true purpose. Trust your intuition and those little nudges. Know you are supported in the higher realms.
Step 5: Let your Radiant Light Grow Brighter
Be yourself. Don’t abandon yourself to others expectations or unreasonable expectations of your own. People are uplifted when you are Being YOU! Let the infinite source of all shine through you in only the way you can. Listening to your Soul’s voice will allow your light to continue to show up. “Consciously begin to invite the light within you to reveal more to you about you and you will begin to see what has been hiding within you.” http://thewellnessuniverse.com/the-love-of-light/
Step 6: LOVE- The High Heart Energy
The universal soothing salve for all is Love. It’s the love and wisdom of the high heart, not the emotional needy heart, which guides us. It is the High Heart of unconditional love that heals and forgives. It is love that connects and understands all. It is with love we find clarity. All was created in LOVE and is held in love. The more we can love ourselves the greater our ability to love others and life. Is there an aspect of you that you can love more? Is there a situation you can let the power of love heal in your life?
Step 7: Raise Your Awareness-Your Consciousness
Find those thoughts and stories that are hiding and bring them to the light. (Where is a place your have been triggered or feel uncomfortable?) Once you have brought that thought to the forefront you can transform it. The only reason the stories that make you uncomfortable are there is that your mind believes them.
As Byron Katie would say, “Go deep in your heart and ask is this really true?” Use whatever tools you have: tapping, energy work, etc. to become more conscious and clear about your life. You may want to use the Violet Flame as a transmuting energy and the triple flame in your heart to reconnect to the “purity of God’s Love” within you.
