My Life and Soul Journey Were Transformed Forever

My life was transformed in 2005. Even greater, my entire soul journey was transformed.

You see, I met my spiritual teacher, Dr. and Master Sha in 2005 when I attended his five-day workshop at Omega Institute about healing with herbs. Every now and then, Master Sha would share a nugget--a gem--a jewel--of soul wisdom. I had studied with another spiritual teacher and participated in many spiritual retreats and events prior to this, but had never experienced such deeply profound teachings.

At least not in this lifetime.

On the edge of my seat for five days, I could not get enough.

My soul recognized truth.

The most profound truth was that of the universal law of karma. Though our minds may not fully grasp, or even be aware of it, our souls know this law very well. This is because our beloved soul carries our negative karma, created in this lifetime and past lifetimes through our unpleasant thoughts, words, actions, inaction and more.

I participated in the five-day workshop with Master Sha, followed by a two-day soul healing event in New York City. At that event, Master Sha offered--and I received--Divine Karma Cleansing of my personal karma.

The misdeeds I had done to others throughout all my lifetimes were forgiven. My spiritual debt was paid. How blessed we are that the Divine has offered this service for ten years.

Our negative karma can create blockages in every aspect of life: our health, with chronic or life-threatening conditions; our emotions, with anxiety, depression, anger, fear and other emotional imbalances; our mental body, with mental illness, confusion, lack of clarity and more; our relationships; our finances and business and so much more.

There is a spiritual reason for everything.

When I first received Divine Karma Cleansing, I experienced countless layers--like skins of an onion--quickly falling from me into the ground. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Layer after layer; lifetime after lifetime of karma was cleared.

Though I didn't fully understand the magnitude of the blessing I had received, the gratitude in my heart was deep.

In those few moments, my life and soul journey were transformed forever. Blockages that were removed from my path included emotional instability, serious physical conditions that would take my life at an early age, and more.

Unencumbered by the weight of this burden, my soul was free. I experienced deep peace and stillness in my heart. True joy. To be free of karma is to be free of the things that keep us rooted in our suffering, and not just for this lifetime, but for all future lifetimes as well. The possibility for real transformation exists because the root blockage is no longer there.

This is a gift beyond all gifts. I share this because Divine Karma Cleansing is ending very soon, at the end of 2013. The purpose of physical life is to serve our soul journey. I encourage you to do whatever you can to receive this tremendous blessing for your entire soul journey.

Wishing you a beautiful and blessed new year filled with love, peace, harmony and abundance.


With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

True Liberation

For many, this time of year is a time of reflection. A time to remember where we were twelve months ago, and look at the progress we have made.

It is a time of new beginnings. A new year! A new year can breathe hope and promise into our lives. I used to approach the new year and say to myself, THIS is the year I am going to straighten out this or that.

I know many of you can relate.

It wasn't until I met my spiritual teacher, Master Sha, and learned deeper wisdom about karma that I began to understand the blockages in my life. I used to wonder, as many do, why do "bad" things happen to "good" people? How is it that so-and-so, who is so gentle and kind, is dealing with so many issues? Why do so many of us continue to make the same mistakes again and again in business, relationships, and so on? Don't we ever learn?

Yes, we learn. Eventually. Hopefully.

Learning about karma was life changing for me. It provided answers to my (above) questions and so much more. Karma is cause and effect. Many people believe what goes around comes around. This is karma. What we put out, through our good actions (and words, thoughts, and more) is returned to us. And what we put out through our less-than-kind actions (lying, cheating, stealing, complaining, taking advantage of or harming others in any way and more) comes back to us as well.

Karma is a universal law. This is good. Heaven is most fair.

In his book, The Power of Soul, Master Sha released a one-sentence secret of karma:

Karma is the root cause of success and failure                      in every aspect of life.

Our success in relationships, business, finances, and more, is related to our good karma. We all have good karma also. Our blockages in our health, relationships, business, finances, and more, is due to our negative karma. There is a spiritual reason for everything. Nothing is random in the universe.

Having this understanding, and learning deeper teachings about karma over the last eight years, have helped me incredibly. I am extremely grateful. I am grateful because once we identify an issue, we can find a solution. A way to transform it. It is much more difficult to go through life thinking that it isn't fair. When we step back and look at the journey of the soul through its many lifetimes, and not just this lifetime, we can begin to make sense out of why things are the way they are. We begin to understand the cause of our suffering. This has been my experience. 

We can transform our negative karma by gaining good karma. We do this by offering good service: offering our unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, sincerity, integrity, and so on. We help make others happier and healthier. There are many way to serve: chanting, helping others, volunteering, donating to charities, and so on. This is very good.

When someone has heavy karma, though, it can take not years, but lifetimes to transform their negative karma. Consider this: our karma is our spiritual debt. When we harm another, we create debt. How is that debt paid? Through our suffering. Through the blockages in our lives. These could be issues with health, emotions, relationships, finances ... any aspect of life. It could take many lifetimes of good service to humanity to self-clear our negative karma.

Throughout history there have been few very special servants with the authority to clear karma. Master Sha is a chosen Divine Servant and Channel. He and his Worldwide Representatives have the authority and honor to offer Divine Karma Cleansing. This service is life-saving and life-transforming.

My life has been not only transformed, but saved, through Divine Karma Cleansing. Many of the struggles I had have been removed. Lifetimes of karma, accumulated through my unpleasant service to others throughout many lifetimes, was removed.

My soul is free. This is true liberation.

To clear karma is to receive forgiveness. It is to have our spiritual debt paid. We are no longer bound to lifetimes of suffering due to our actions from this lifetime and past lifetimes. We could be very loving and compassionate people in this lifetime, but we have all had lifetimes where this was not the case. We have made mistakes. Think about the mistakes we make in one lifetime. Imagine hundreds or thousands of lifetimes. Our beloved soul carries the effect of these mistakes -- our karma -- through every lifetime. And through our suffering, our debt is paid, little by little.

What is it worth to have this suffering removed? Personally, I did whatever I had to do to have my debt cleared. We have physical life and spiritual life. The purpose of physical life is to serve our spiritual journey. Our spiritual journey is our soul journey. The physical journey can be filled with hardship after hardship, lesson after lesson, lifetimes of suffering, when we carry negative karma.

Or our current lifetime and future lives can be filled with promise. With love and light. Only when we are free of darkness (karma) can we achieve the highest levels of enlightenment.

I share this with you today because Divine Karma Cleansing service is ending at the end of 2013. Clearing your karma could transform your life in astounding ways, removing lifetimes of suffering. And it will most definitely affect the journey of your soul. Divine Karma Cleansing is not the greatest gift of one lifetime, but of all lifetimes.

Read more about this opportunity.

One more thing. Millions, if not billions, of people are suffering on Mother Earth. Humanity needs help. The world needs healing. Mother Earth needs more light.  To clear our karma is to bring more light to our beloved planet. The less darkness we carry, the fewer struggles we have, and the better we are able to serve others. Removing our karma empowers us. The less burden our soul carries, the better.

I love my heart and soul
I love all humanity
Join hearts and souls together
Love, peace and harmony
Love, peace and harmony


With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

Counting Blessings

Every year at this time I am reminded of an experience I had some 22 years ago.

As I pushed my then five-month-old son in the stroller, admiring all the beautiful (and expensive) holiday decorations in the store, I began to feel badly that I couldn't purchase any of the exquisite ornaments for my Christmas tree.

Just then, I heard a female voice say, He is beautiful. Cherish him.

I turned and saw a radiant older woman standing close by.

I quickly glanced down at my sweet baby in the stroller.

Lifting my head, she was gone. Nowhere in sight.

I was visited by an angel that day; one who reminded me of how truly blessed I was.

We can all use such reminders from time to time.

Wishing you a blessed day of giving thanks.


With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

PS- What are you grateful for today? Please share.

Start Where You Are

Feeling grateful. Extremely grateful.

Grateful for my spiritual father and teacher, Master Sha. Grateful for loving family, friends, and soul family. For this day and all it brings. For the opportunity to learn lessons as a result of the mistakes I have made. For the indescribable blessings of every day. For the forgiveness I have received for the many mistakes I have made that have caused pain and suffering to others in all my lifetimes.

To purify the heart is to first acknowledge our impurities. Not one of us is perfect. But we can do the work to improve. We can purify our thoughts. We can purify our speech. We can purify our actions, and act with unconditional love, forgiveness, compassion, and light.

Start where you are, wherever that may be.

And always remember: you are loved beyond measure.

Until next time.


With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

From Emptiness Comes Everything

Sometimes we learn lessons in ways that aren't particularly painful or challenging. Other times we make great strides in our journey because we have had to stretch and dig deep.

Both ways are good. Both bring more light, direction, purpose, and what I call "texture" to the tapestry of life.

Either way, we have to be open to receive the teaching...the lesson...the blessing.

They are one and the same: the lesson and the blessing.

We can only receive the bounty that is being offered in any given moment if we are open to receive. An open vessel. If we think I already know this, or this one cannot teach me anything, we have lost out.

My spiritual teacher, Master Sha shared that his spiritual father, Dr. and Master Zhi Chen Guo taught the secret to qigong as:

Empty your heart. Forget yourself. And serve humanity.

When we forget ourselves, we become an open vessel. A clean canvas. An empty cup. From the state of emptiness and selflessness we can receive so much more and, in doing so, we can serve with greater love, forgiveness, compassion, and light. We are empowered further. From emptiness comes everything. Tao (nothingness) creates One. One creates Two. Two creates Three. Three creates all things.

I have been blessed beyond comprehension in this life to have not only met and receive teachings and blessing from, but to become a Worldwide Representative and Disciple of a most extraordinary spiritual master on Mother Earth. My most profound realizations and leaps in not only consciousness, but of heart and my soul journey have come from attending Tao Retreats with Master Sha, who is a lineage holder of Kwan Yin as well as top Taoist masters in history, including Peng Zu, the teacher of Lao Tzu.

I am excited and honored to be attending Master Sha's upcoming Tao Retreats in Estes Park, Colorado, November 9-21. Opportunities like this are very rare and we don't know how long they will last.

I invite you ... encourage you ... call you to attend. If you have not participated in the past, I promise you will receive so much more than you can begin to imagine. If you have participated in the past, I promise you will receive so much more than you can begin to imagine. The blessings and teachings will be unlike anything we can conceive of with our logical minds.

Be an open vessel. From here, gain mastery of all things. 

You will experience and receive so much light that blockages could be removed at an incredible rate. You will experience purification of your soul, heart, mind, and body. You will receive and truly experience a Love Peace Harmony World Family. What I have received has been beyond my comprehension. You will be blessed beyond comprehension too.

Join us! Your life and your soul journey will be transformed. Attend in person. If you cannot, join by live webcast. You will be extremely, extremely blessed.

Golden Opportunities

I had a sudden realization as I was driving one day. Here it is:

Everything we think, say and do is our offering to the Divine.

What?!

Yes. Further, whatever we think, say and do reverberates throughout humanity, Mother Earth and all universes. Our speech, thoughts and behavior affect countless beings and deeply impact our physical life and spiritual journey.

This may make you feel good. Or you could have a sinking "uh oh" feeling. Or something in between the two. Are you offering love, forgiveness, compassion, light, integrity, purity, selflessness? Or are you offering complaining, jealousy, anger, selfishness ...?

Ouch.

This much I know to be true:

Every day, in every moment, we have the opportunity to transform. It starts with awareness.

I welcome you to share your insights. Leave a comment. And please subscribe and share!

Have a beautiful day!

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

Treasured Gifts

One of the most precious gifts I have been given in this lifetime is the opportunity to forgive and be forgiven.

I shared in my previous post that I had a powerful experience of forgiveness many years ago. I held deep resentment toward someone who I felt had betrayed me. My mind kept going over all of the reasons why I should feel this way. Well-intended friends and loved ones agreed wholeheartedly, yet my heart felt so uneasy.

This was a new experience for me, and I was uncomfortable feeling that way toward another being, however hurt I was. I realized that I needed to move forward and, in order to do so, I had to forgive. I could not have inner peace and at the same time harbor this negativity toward another.

But where to start? I wanted deeply to transform the pain and negativity.

Those days I had just begun my practice of devotional chanting. I chanted for hours every night, completely absorbed in the practice. The testing and purification was intense. Having little financial resources, I lost my home. I clung to my practice more than ever.

One evening, no longer able to carry this pain in my heart, I asked the Divine for help.

The answer was immediate and crystal clear: Just let it go.

Just let it go? I had not considered that as an option.

I understood this to mean that it was up to me to hold on or let go. In my heart, in my mind, and from my mouth, I uttered I am ready to let it go.

And the greatest burden was lifted from my being. I was free.

About My Blog

Welcome!

Many years ago I had a very powerful experience of forgiving someone, and I immediately began to see how this single act of forgiveness impacted my own happiness and my life. It wasn't until some years later that I learned the significance of forgiveness on the spiritual journey.

I have since begun a conscious journey of the soul and, over the last eight years, and in particular these last few years, I have experienced first hand how forgiveness can transform so many of the blockages in our lives.

The foundation teaching of soul healing is "Heal the soul first; then healing of the mind and body will follow." This powerful message is a core teaching of my spiritual teacher, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha. The truth of this statement  becomes more and more a part of me as time goes by. The depth and breadth of this teaching continues to reveal itself to me in beautiful, subtle, and often not-so-subtle ways. 

In this blog I will share soul wisdom and practices along with "aha!" moments I have had along the way. And I am delighted to share soul healing miracles that I have personally experienced over the last eight years.
 
You may wonder why the name of this blog includes "to purify the heart." With a pure heart, we can move more graciously through life's bumps and bruises. Each of us is here to purify and learn lessons. There will be some inherent challenges. Having purity of heart empowers one to move through these lessons without being easily shaken.
 
Master Sha teaches that forgiveness brings inner peace and inner joy. I have found this to be true in my own life, and I welcome you to join me on a journey to more inner peace. More joy. More love. You may find that you experience deep healing along the way.

It has been said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This wisdom has helped me at times when I felt overwhelmed and didn't know what to do next or how to do it. If this is you, just take one step. The practices and teachings I will share will help you.
 
The "thousand miles" for me has taken place over the last 20 years. So many, many changes. So many challenges. The times that were most difficult remain some of my most cherished memories because I made progress on my journey. One step at a time. It wasn't always easy. The spiritual journey can be a painful journey. It is also a most beautiful journey. I am eternally grateful. I am grateful for the lessons and the unbounded blessings. Today my life has purpose. I am extremely honored to be a Disciple and Worldwide Representative of the most incredible healer and spiritual master, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha. To be a Disciple of a master of this calibre is a dream not of one lifetime, but of all lifetimes.

I look forward to sharing my journey with you.

While you are here, leave me a message. And be sure to subscribe.

Until next time. 

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine
