Healing Separation

29 Saturday May 2021

Healing Messages, Humanity Healing, Inspiration, Meditations, Poetry

Healing the Personal and Collective Separation

Aligning within the energies of our physical Heart
we begin a journey of understanding and reparation
ever-deepening into that which is the cause of our separation
not only from each other but from our True Self as well

Take a few moments each day to sit in Nature and be still
listening for the mind to wander into its storytelling
and its ever-noisy planning
of events which may bring about fear or, better yet,
the old patterns of our behavior within our families

Each of us has unique expressions of the very same issues
which keep us separated and unwilling to release
what is not needed any longer
in order to see ourselves once again in each other
no matter what shape, color, or culture
we embrace as our ancestral heritage

Let us make a commitment to change our focus
and send Love to ourselves through each other
and let the healing begin with gusto

Written for the Global Heart Team

Change – New Energy

19 Friday Feb 2021

Tags

Healing Messages, Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Spirituality

Change – New Energy

Softly shifting into a peaceful flow
We journey into our multi-dimensional Self
which has no limits or boundaries

Oftentimes the expansiveness
Is overwhelming yet balanced

It is a re-connection to our primordial
and most expansive beingness
from this center point of Diving Grace

All possibilities for change
and all ways of manifestation
are waiting to be called forth
into our 3rd dimensional physical form

Each of us are the manifestations
individually and collectively

For We are both of these
within every time frame
and frequency of density

Our liquidity is the Golden Key
that opens All Hearts
to receive All New Energy

Now gathering to propel Humanity
into the Highest Frequency of Change

Our Allowance of Change
is only restricted by the lack of
Our Zero Point – Self-Awareness

Inspired by Malini Rajendran

Seeking Peace

11 Thursday Feb 2021

Tags

Healing Messages, Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Spirituality

Seeking Peace
We gather within our Heart

Each of us joining together
through the Liquid Love
that flows from Source

Each molecule of 3rd dimensional existence
is eager and excited to bond
and co-create a physical existence

Oh, how precious is Peace
for it is not just a word or a feeling

It is a dimension of energetic existence
that emanates from the Source of All Beingness

There are no distractions within Peace
only what we bring into it
from outside of its perfection

Leave all of that confusion
and misunderstanding behind you
as you embrace stillness and perfection

Remembering that you are
The Flourishing Peace of Unconditional Love

Charlie Riverman Bergeron 2.11.21

Japa Mala Meditations

28 Thursday Jan 2021

Tags

Blessings, Healing Messages, Inspiration, Meditations, Spirituality

Hello everyone I just wanted to share what I have been hosting for the last week on Good of the Whole. It is held on Zoom but can also be joined in on Facebook.

There is more information below and if you feel called to join us any night please look at the links below. I will continue to post the replays on my YouTube Channel as well.


40 Day Japa Mala Meditation for Awakening. January 21st – March 1st
Chanting – Nam Myoho Renge Kyo – to the Four Directions – finishing with AUM                  

1  Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo
2  Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo
3  Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo
4  Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo

                    AUM


Focusing on awakening to our highest Self by chanting, we can activate the power and wisdom that has forever been within us, as well as bringing forth great happiness and embodied fulfillment to others we encounter daily.

It also helps us to arise from suffering and delusion into our true nature which awakens the power, wisdom, compassion, and divine life force within us.

Japa Mala is Nightly @ 10:00 PM Eastern. Facebook Live and in The Connection Field with Good of the Whole. Sign in for zoom room ID at www.ConnectionFieldDigest.org


About the Chant:
Devotion to the Mystic Law of the Lotus Sutra / Glory to the Dharma of the Lotus Sutra) are words chanted within all forms of Nichiren Buddhism

Namu to devotion or dedicate oneself

Myoho is Mystic Law

Renge means Lotus Blossom Kyo means Sutra

“Nam-myoho-renge-kyo is not only the core of the Buddha’s lifetime teachings, but also the heart, essence, and ultimate principle of the Lotus Sutra” The Writings of Nichiren Daishonin, vol. 1, p. 860).


Let’s keep chanting together!

Our collective heart breaks as we stand at the edge of our world going through its current Dark Night of the Soul. We clearly know that everything feels out of balance and extremely unsettling. But the stars tell us that all is moving in the right direction! If we stay focused on love, joy, creativity, and peace, that is what our experiences will be now and in the future.

As we rest in tranquility, safety, and inner peace, our illusions of separation and societal upheaval will begin to dissolve. We will regain pure reverence for all of nature and each other, acknowledging our connection to everything in existence.

We will chant together 108 times as a spiritual practice to experience calm and sustainable peace. Our japa mala will give us clarity of mind and openness of heart. For 40 nights, this mantra meditation will help us steward the consciousness of what it means to truly live for the good of the whole… for our families, our community, our country, our land, all people, and for the world.

Observance Not Reaction

18 Monday Jan 2021

Tags

Blessings, Healing Messages, Humanity Healing, Inspiration, Meditations, Poetry

Agamenticus River, York Maine

CHOOSING NOT TO REACT

I choose to quietly see beyond what is appearing before me

I choose patience knowing that my faith is held within it

I choose trusting in my Greater Self rather than living in fear

I choose to align perfectly with the abundance of the Universe

I choose to let go of all that does not resonate with my heart

I choose these moments of deep and peaceful resonance

in all that is presenting itself before me or surrounding me

I choose that my most gracious energies

be restored to their full strength and glory,

in order to become the observer and not the reactor.

You Are Loved

You Are Loved

Fully surrender to that inner vortex of sublime radiance more often. ~Riverman

How beautiful it is to feel loved
in ways that dare you to express it with words.

Yes, and here they flow…

Safely held within a blissful energy field
of balance and harmony
Spiraling yet focused,
whole yet fractalized
Brilliantly shining and knowing
what can’t be seen nor spoken

It is here during a Full Moon
gathering at the Inner Well of Life Waters
that We embrace each other without
any sense of unworthiness
each of us a part of the other

Charlie Riverman Bergeron
2.9.20

WE Are The Mountains

05 Wednesday Feb 2020

From the Mountains

There are times when we are not looking for any answers. Just taking time to enjoy the local scenery. The fresh air and sound of nature implore us to let go of our personalities.
Of course it is more interesting when it is the top of a mountain (even a small one).

The mountain I’m standing on in the cold winds of February is Mount Agamenticus here in York, Maine USA.  Just a hill to many areas of our world (as it is only 692 ft ) yet the view of the Mountains of New Hampshire in the distance can be magical.

I drifted into an alignment with these amazingly powerful Beings who are a family that existed during the supercontinent Pangaea.  And off I went flowing across space and time viewing the Amazing,  distant snow covered Mountains that existed before humanity.

Sometimes it is the gentle cool breeze that touches our ear and hearkens us to listen more attentively. Because our minds want to communicate as they did when We were the first footrace with the ability to evolve.

Our Wind’s Message was simply this…

From the Mountain You Are

to the Mountain You See

The Serenity and Eternal Presence

You Seek are not that far away

DEAR SECRETS…

03 Monday Feb 2020

Artwork, Blessings, Inspiration, Meditations, Photography, Poetry, Prayers, Reflection, Writing

No More Secrets
Oh Dear Secrets…

how you have been so protected

for such a very long time

there in the darkness silently waiting

It is time now to be released and

May you open gently, yet bravely

for you cannot travel any further within me

Your purpose is no longer needed

for in Truth WE no longer fear you

Your power only kept us prisoner

So Bless You Dear Secrets…

May your Journey to Freedom

be received as a Gift from My Divine Heart

As MY SOUL Sets You Free

Charlie Riverman Bergeron 2.2.20

“Trust Yourself,
You will start to Trust Others.”
