When you find and hold Love before, during, and after the Cross you've been given to bear, you find that not only are you healed but that you can heal. That your Presence Itself is healing. Because It is everything. And It is perfect. I Love you, Nik Go(o)d Mornings merch: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _______________________ Today's Quotes: "You do not heal 'from' trauma. You simply come to know yourself as Life Itself. And you turn towards the wounded place. And you flush it with attention, which is love. And maybe the wound will always be with you. Maybe you will always walk with the hurt. But now, you hold it. It doesn't hold you. You are the container, not the contained. It doesn't control you any longer, the wound. Because it is drenched in awareness now. Drenched in You. Loved by You. Even celebrated by You. You do not heal 'from' trauma. You find healing 'in' the trauma. You find yourself at trauma's sacred core. The One who is always present. The One who can bear even the most intense feeling states. And survive. The Indestructible One. The Infinite One. The Powerful One. You." - Jeff Foster "To love is human To feel  pain is human But to feel love despite the pain is pure angel." -Rumi "A boy came one time and asked, “Maharajji, did Jesus really get angry?” As soon as Maharajji heard the word “Jesus,” tears came to his eyes. He was sitting up when the question was asked, and he leaned over on his elbow and tapped his heart three times with tears coming down from his eyes. There was total silence for a moment. Maharajji had brought the reality of Christ into everyone’s consciousness, and he said, “Christ never got angry. When he was crucified he felt only love. Christ was never attached to anything; he even gave away his own body.” And at that point everyone was crying—we had gone through the complete Passion of Christ. And all of a sudden he sat up and said, “The mind can travel a million miles in the blink of an eye—Buddha said that.” -Maharajji Support the show

You feel like you're out of patience. Like you've been patient enough, and you're tired. You're tired of living the same day, of worrying about the same things. But this moment is different. Can you feel the difference coming in right now? The Silence coming in right now? It's saying, 'welcome back'. Welcome Home. You've been running out (t)here. Lost in the world. Lost in thought,  lost in fear. Believing you're that body, believing in those problems. Welcome back. It's like this fragrance wafts into the room, into the scene, and you come to your senses. You go beyond your senses.  And you notice there's a Harmony here.  A Light here.  God has washed (y)our feet.  What feet? No feet.  No hands.  No body.  Nobody can take This from you.  Welcome back... for GoOD this time.  I Love you, nik  ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _______________________ "So long as He does not reveal Himself in a way that will dissolve all obstacles and obstructions, strive to live ever in His presence. Engage in whatever practice that helps to keep the mind centered in Him." - Anandamayi ma  "Happy the man whose heart is set to call upon the Name of the Lord; When he makes mention of the Name of the Lord, he will be saved. His ways are guided by the Lord.... He arose from his sleep, and blessed the Name of the Lord: In peacefulness of heart, he sang to the Name of his God." -Psalms of Solomon VI:1-2,4, AOT p.663 "We have purified our hands in Truth and our lips in faith. We have uttered words of radiance, and were absorbed in thoughts of light... Honour rests upon the 'uthras (pure souls) who sit in glory. This is the prayer and praise that came to them from the great Place of Light and the everlasting abode. We praise Him with it when we have risen from our sleep, before any have spoken falsehood. For any man who prays this prayer, there will be forgiving of sins and transgressions in the great Place of Light and in the everlasting abode."- Mandaean Prayer Book 115; cf.

What have you been seeing where only the Christ is?  What headlines have you been reading? What friends have you been praying for? What sicknesses have you been believing in? What have you been fearing? What shame have you been feeling? Saint Padre Pio says, "Blessed is the crisis that made you grow, the fall that made you gaze up to heaven, the problem that made you look for God. " That's the only reason why you have problems. To make you stop and look. To stop and feel. I stop and hear, and the hearing of that Silence turns into The Feeling. And It's not a feeling that has an opposite. It's not a feeling that comes and goes. It stays.  And then I stay where He wants me. You are where He wants you.  Look.  Beyond.  Appearances.    I Love you nik  ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _______________________ "Only 15 minutes, in the morning after waking up, sit in bed. Loosen your whole body, and realize that God is your own, God is within you. Just sit there for a few minutes."- Sri Sri Ravi Shankar  "We're one with Christ, we're one with eternity, we're one with consciousness... We've always been one with Christ. So when Christ says, "You have not chosen me, I have chosen you," in the ultimate that is true because there is only the Christ. There is only the Self, consciousness, reality. Everything is reality, everything is the Christ. So the Christ cannot help but choose you. For you are the only one. "I and my father are one. If you have seen me you have the seen the father. So in truth I have chosen you. There is only the one and I am is that. Do you follow this? The Christ as you say is the ultimate reality. The Christ of the universe. So the Christ has chosen everything, everybody. Everything is the Christ." -Robert Adams

When you feel Love and then see, what you see changes.  what you are changes, into what was promised,  into who made the promise. Before the beginning,  I loved you. I love you, and I always will.  I always Am.  Support the show! ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings _______________________ "Come inside and look with my eyes..." - Bawa Muhaiyaddeen  "By day I praised you and never knew it.

All you are is Love.  All you are is God looking like a person, acting like a person, aging like a person. But what knows the aging? What knows this voice? What knows the weight, the feel of that body? Love knows. It knows where you're headed. It's already prepared a place for you, a table for you. It's smoothed the path for you. It cleared it.  It brought you Here.  And what you don't know yet, is that it brought 'there', Here, too.  'There', where you think you want to be, is Here, too. You just have to be sensitive enough to feel It.

An intellectual will only reel in his mind. Not everyone could feel Jesus. Jesus was right there! Only 12 simpletons could feel and experience Jesus, but intellectuals and highly-read people never knew anything. That sensitivity to feel the divinity comes only through grace. And once you have got that sensitivity, then that's it." - Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Click here to see pics and footage from our Meditation Meetup on Saturday. Even though it appeared that we would be rained out, we weren't. Listen to learn and feel how I managed that all-too-familiar anxiety like a G.  From the episode-  That home you live in has not yet been built. That device you're listening to this voice on has not yet been invented. You have yet to be born. That's a beautiful way of saying nothing ever happened. Nothing ever happens. Me praying for the rain to clear, for that little symbol of a cloud with a lightning bolt over the 8 am hour to disappear,  that's not prayer.  Prayer is, 'thank you, Father, there is no weather app, no phone, no weather, no world, no Nikki here to be worried, no other power out there to be threatened by.  Nothing is here.  When I feel Love, I know nothing is here but that Love.  And then sometimes that manifests as no storm, no rain, or powerful words that help, or seem to heal, but only because the Knowledge is there that (t)here is no one there to heal.  Here, is no one but Christ.  But You.  Open your I and See.  I Love You,  nik  "Why let daily things bother you? Have you forgotten how it is in time? Your father has never met your mother. The elaborate orchard garden you live in has not yet been planted." - Rumi Jesus didn't say "believe in Me", He said, "believe like Me." - Neil Douglas Klotz "12 The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. 13 Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. 14 Then he said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard him say it." - Mark 11 12-14   Clearwater Beach Meditation link- https://www.instagram.com/p/C8zt98hRc1Q/

You spend time with God by listening. Think of that image of Dolores from Disney's 'Encanto', with her hand up to her ear. That. Just listening. This listening is continuous, that's mediation. When you're listening you're not thinking, that's meditation. And then in the quiet listening, Love is felt. You hear God's silence, and then you feel God's Love. You're gifted His Peace, and then you notice that that too, is continuous! No matter what comes (or goes), this Peace stands. All you have to do is remember to listen for the feeling of Peace, and then that Peace dissolves everything that isn't Peace... help comes, because God is. I Love you, Nik [email protected] Today's Quotes: "...continuous reaching toward the center of our being, will eventually result in the experience of the Christ. In that moment, we discover the mystery of spiritual living: We do not have to take thought for what we shall eat, what we shall drink, or wherewithal we shall be clothed; we do not have to plan; we do not have to struggle. only Christ can live our life for us, and we meet the Christ within ourselves in meditation. The degree to which we attain the experience or activity of the Christ, the presence of the Spirit of God in us, determines the degree of individual unfoldment." -by Joel S. Goldsmith via Practicing the Presence, Chapter 7 "I am the spaces between my thoughts." -via @daytohaveaday via IG “If a man wants to be used by God, he cannot spend all of his time with people.”  -A.

When you're remembering Love, it's only because Love is remembering you. Holding you. Healing you. Being you. You reaching for God is like a fish reaching for water. We're in It. He's everywhere.
