“Super Nova Explosion”
by Barbara Brennan

Utilize all that has been before,
that you consider negative,
to be the vitamins and minerals that feed the growing being within you.

Just as a young baby
is nurtured in the womb,
utilize these residuals within you.

Rather than taking them out,
rather than clearing them,
transmute them
by identifying with your true essence.

Move your conscious awareness into this passionate core essence.
Allow it to expand
throughout all of your field,
all of your being,
in a super nova explosion of light.

Gayle’s Reflections

How does that happen, an explosion of light within the self? It can be as simple as the proverbial light bulb idea moment or it could be such a powerful awakening of consciousness your entire body begins to shiver and quake, releasing all the particles of held energy related to a particular belief. It is exiting out of your molecular structure. Hence the term super nova explosion to describe such a powerful release of energy.

All it takes is a moment of clarity (light bulb) to make a decision to become more enlightened, conscious, aware, awakened or evolved. This decisive intention sends out the Batman signal to come here and show me the transmutation. Next thing you know every ounce of negative vitamins and minerals arrive at your door to be welcomed in for the reconfiguration to love.

Barbara is saying use these nutrients as fuel, food and water to transmute the pain and suffering of the negative experience. We cannot “undo” the events that hurt us. They are there imprinted on our cellular memory bank. The best we can choose is to understand the core of the experience, recognize it as a part of one’s self and rather than pushing away this uncomfortable part of “me”, do as you would for a toddler who was crying and hurt. You would pick her up, hold her close, offer words of comfort, and understanding for the suffering being experienced in the moment. When you do this with the things you hate most about your own being the battle within subsides. The inner conflict is met with love and a compassionate welcome.

Barbara describes the core star as an energy point in the center of the body. It is the essence of who we are as light beings. Bring that hurt energy you have always tried to get rid of to this place with love for yourself and your negative experiences.
Bring every negative event, feeling, belief to your core star and make a conscious shift to loving every dark, scary aspect of yourself. Feel the Super Nova Explosion of love resonating through your consciousness systems bringing in more light.

I’ve done this practice many times when I was feeling so rejected. Being the new kid in school every year, sometimes twice, I felt outside the group. Slowly, when the feelings would show up again, I took the opportunity to allow them to express and then I ushered them with love into my core star essence, located in the middle of my body. I soon realized that if I keep rejecting myself it would be impossible to feel welcomed and accepted by anyone. Over time and with several applications, those feelings of rejection diminished and no longer kept repeating in my life experiences. When the Super Nova Explosion of light penetrates your being you have welcomed yourself home.

Thank you, Barbara. Today, I am happy to be experiencing my life as a Super Nova of light.

See you tomorrow.
Love, Gayle

“The First Step of Service”
By Barbara Brennan

By finding and focusing
on your emotional reactions
to the calls for help
and discovering what is under them,
you will find an arrow pointing directly
to where you have not cared for yourself.

The first step of service is to clear yourself
by care-taking your self.
This heals your dualistic split
and your participation
in holding the world of duality in place.

It is only then that you are able
to serve awakening
in a world of wholeness.

Gayle’s Reflection

This is THE most important thing I learned at The Barbara Brennan School of Healing. I was completely unaware that I was not taking care of myself. As I began to attend to that consciously, I received a boat load of push back from those around me. Saying no to things I didn’t want to do was such an empowerment, it sent ripples of terror through my body and energy field. When this happens all of those stifled places of fear and rejection around not meeting the needs of others began to activate. Next, the lessons and practices of self care come forth into the light of knowing who I am. Many relationships changed or dissolved and new ones arrived as I chose a new relationship with my self. I learned how to accept the changes and not judge it all so strongly.

The more loving I am to myself the more I discover and accept ALL of me. This is where healing the spilt of duality occurs. Learning to love, welcome, and accept the dark side of me changed the vibration of it. Gradually the need for control in order to stay safe fell away. Slowly, I saw myself differently in my relationships.

I began to notice how my loved ones were graciously showing me my unresolved emotional self through the challenge of interpersonal dynamics. What a revelation that was! To truly see and ask when something was amiss…Where am I in this interaction? What is this person showing me about myself? Are his feelings also my feelings?

With awareness and dedication to knowing myself, the clearing process, though sometimes upsetting, felt so good when the realization of how I was not taking good care of my self was uncovered. Yeah! This is true awakening.

Awakening to the self by to daring to choose to heal the spilt of duality by examining and allowing the expansion of stuck emotions. Consciously witnessing and feeling them with eyes open allows the movement and dissolution of the charged feeling to move downstream and out of the energy field.

Begin…Allow this process to be included in your new year self care program. Receive the guidance and support of other healers who are in it with you. This part of your plan is at the top of the list. Then you will eat well, rest, take lots of baths, play and exercise.

Open to receive your self today. Clear away the debris that no longer serves your spiritual growth and life of service. That is the first step.

Thank you Barbara for teaching me that taking lots of long, hot, baths with sea salt and baking soda serves the evolution of humanity.

See you tomorrow,
Love, Gayle
