Just like you, everything is in you, but you first have learn how to use and bring out what is already there.<\/p>\n<p>So that is why we have meditation, and prayer. They \u00a0both tap into what is already present and all you have to do is \u00a0listen and from the listening take action. Once you shift your consciousness then you are able to take full action. Full action is spirit, mind, and body working as one. Like an instrument.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer is a place of deep listening, but most of us have been taught to ask, tell, plead in prayer. This is not prayer. \u00a0Since all outcomes are already present in you, then it is your job to affirm and recognize what you might not see. \u00a0By listening and getting quiet you will be able to hear the insight, inspiration, which will then insight the mind and body to move correctly. \u00a0Correct action is inspirational not survival. \u00a0Survival is struggle, powerlessness, lack of understanding the self, and an old way of being in the world. Each of us has been through this space enough times to understand how difficult it \u00a0is. \u00a0So yes from y perspective meditation and prayer are one. They align you in the reality of unconditional presence (God) and allow you to move freely in things. \u00a0THey take you off of the outside and put you smack in possibilities. \u00a0You are possible all the time. Your instrument is amazing and must be understood.<\/p>\n<p>This is why many people call me for sessions. My job in working people is to guide them on how to use their instrument in the best possible way, and in the highest way possible in business, life, family, money, and spirit. \u00a0Then we part and they are on their own. \u00a0And a new group comes. \u00a0The great thing for me is each person is their own creation and creator, so it makes my job wonderful. No two snowflakes are a like. Each person has something wonderful to bring the planet and discovering that is awesome.<\/p>\n<p>So I encourage you to discover YOU!<\/p>\n<p>Questions, sessions, speaking, email: semjase64@gmail.com<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mothermaryswords.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/4005435098.jpg\" class=\" decorated-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-893\" src=\"https:\/\/mothermaryswords.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/06\/4005435098.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"460\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How many of you have every played an instrument in your life?
