Our Lady of Radiant Grace

As we step into this new year you are reminded that, like a newborn child, you are held and nurtured by the great Divine Mother.

She is supporting and guiding you as you navigate your way through life, always ready to catch you if you fall.

As you consider what you would like to create for yourself for the year ahead Our Lady of Radiant Grace is encouraging you to do so from a place of innocence.

Give yourself permission to release all your perceived past failings and forgive yourself in whatever ways you need to.

You only have this present moment and if you continue to reflect on the disappointments of the past you miss out on the potential to create yourself a beautiful, love filled future.

Take a deep breath.

Listening, seeing or feeling whatever impulse comes through first, ask yourself,

“What do I need to forgive myself for?”

Honour the insights that you’ve received.

What if, just imagine for a second, what if it were possible for forgiveness to be instant and complete.

What if all the things you’ve done wrong up until now could be released and atoned.

How would this change the way you viewed the possibilities for 2019?

Our Lady of Radiant Grace is shining her light of compassion upon you.

Her heart is filled with unconditional love for you.

She is asking you to give to her your mistakes, errors and failings so that she can transmute them into light and love.

Take a moment to experience this guided process.

Read through it first so you understand the process then close your eyes as you guide yourself through it.

Close your eyes and take three, deep, nourishing breaths.

Imagine yourself standing on the edge of a peaceful blue lake.

You feel calm and centred in the presence of this gentle body of water.

So still and peaceful.

As you look up from the water you see a woman standing before you.

She appears like the water personified.

Draped in fabric of the purest blue.

Her presence calm, peaceful, still.

Your eyes meet and she looks at you with the gaze that a mother gives her newborn child.

Unconditional love and compassion.

Feel the love emanating from her being as she surrounds you in her majestic blue light 

She extends her hand out to you, as a request that you offer something to her.

You find yourself reaching into your heart, and from it you retrieve a small gold box.

In this box is contained all your wrongdoings, your mistakes, your failures.

All held within this one tiny gold box.

You look at her, unsure if this is actually what she is seeking to receive.

She nods at you with eyes full of reassurance and encouragement. 

You follow her lead and hand over the box to her.

As she takes the box from your hand she places your hand over your heart.

Immediately you feel love flowing deeply into your heart.

She places the gold box in the centre of her heart and as she closes her eyes you witness the most miraculous thing. 

Right before your eyes the box transforms into golden light.

Just like that all the things you looked down upon yourself for have been released and erased.

As she opens her eyes and extends out her hands golden light floods from her hands.

You watch as this light is nourishes the world around you – the grass, the trees, the animals – all soaking up this divine healing light.

Your pain released has become the most wonderful healing light for the world. 

Gazing down at the hand over your heart you see that it too is now glowing with this gold healing light.

You sense how whole and complete you have become.

Once again your eyes meet and you are held in her unconditional loving gaze.

Somehow you understand that she has a message for you and that she is letting you know that she will always hold you, especially in your times of need.

You feel this to be true in your heart.

She reminds you that you can always find her here at the lake. 

Whenever you need support and forgiveness you know where to find her. 

With thanks you release her from your vision and bring yourself back to this present moment, in your physical space.

You are a perfect child of the infinite, divine, universe.

View this month as a clean slate in your life where you are free to create the life that you truly want to live.

You are loved.
