Creating Love, Peace and Harmony for All Humanity

Greetings and Happy New Year!

I hope that you have had some time to reflect on the last year, express gratitude, and look ahead to the new year. The new year holds great promise and opportunity.

One thing I like to do at this time of year is to look at ways in which I need to transform, and how I can help others do the same. You may deeply desire to help others, too. How can we empower others to heal their relationships, health issues, balance emotions, bless their careers, and more? How can humanity experience more peace in their hearts?

For many people, simplicity is the key. We want to know the most effective and simple ways to transform. I have found that truth is simple, and practices and exercises to create great transformation can be quite simple.

I have always enjoyed singing. Growing up, and even as an adult, almost everything would remind me of a song. 

As I started on a conscious spiritual journey, chanting became a very important practice. I chanted/sang for hours every day. And since I began studying with my spiritual father and teacher, Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, I have learned more about chanting and why it works. My last post described this in detail so I won't go into it here, but I urge you to consider chanting more or, if you do not chant, start. Your chanting service will greatly benefit you, your family, your community, and many, many others. How compassionate of the Divine to give us singing as a spiritual practice!

Everyone can sing. It truly does not matter what your voice sounds like. It is all beautiful. A heart that is eager to serve others is most beautiful and precious.

Master Sha launched the love Peace Harmony Movement in Chennai, India in 2010. Since then, many thousands of people around the world have joined, and have committed to chanting for 15 minutes or more every day. I urge you to read more about this global movement to uplift humanity and create love, peace and harmony for humanity, Mother Earth, and all souls by chanting the Divine Soul Song Love. Peace and Harmony.

Learn more and join the Love Peace Harmony Movement. So many heart-touching stories have been created from singing this beautiful Divine Soul Song. The benefits are literally endless. I look forward to hearing about your experiences chanting this most precious song. It is truly a gift to humanity from the Divine.

Until next time.

With love from my heart,

Master Elaine

Receive Divine's Love

Hello, dear Ones.

The Divine has guided me to share something with you. 

Like most people, you could be experiencing challenges in your life. No one is immune to this. We all have blockages we wish to transform. They may be in our relationships, finances, health, or any aspect of life. They could even be in several categories.

These issues can bring great pain to our heart. 

When we are in the midst of our difficult and what feels like the darkest times, we can feel so alone in our suffering. I have experienced times when I felt alone. Afraid. Not sure what to do next or who to talk to. Or even if I should talk about it. Times when I felt I would lose my mind.

By the grace of Heaven, I am here. And you are too. 

Remember always that you are loved beyond measure. That the Divine believes in you, supports and nourishes you, lifts you up, and holds you so tenderly. You are deeply loved and cherished.

The Divine wishes to give you a message. Relax and open to receive.

*****

My dear sons and daughters,

I love you beyond all time and space. I love you from head to toe, skin to bone; every cell in your being is infused with my love. I give this to you freely, but sometimes you go deep in your pain and close yourself off from me. This pains my heart because I want only to serve you. That is my deepest desire: to love you so you can share my love with others. 

I am always here for you. Call me. By whatever name you use, call me. I will never leave you. There are some lessons to learn in your physical life. Appreciate them and learn them quickly so you need not repeat them. This is my gift to you: opportunity after opportunity to accomplish what you are here to do: to learn what needs learning so you can be my presence to others. So you can align more fully with me. The more you align with me, the more freedom you will experience. There may still be challenges, it is true. But you will be liberated from the suffering that separation brings.

Remember this message. Connect with it when you are hurting. 

I will now offer you a blessing through this blog, through Master Elaine. Sit quietly. Relax. Close your eyes and open to receive my love. (Click on recording below.) 

I love you. Love you. Love you. 

I bless you. Bless you. Bless you.

*****

Hao! Hao! Hao! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

You can return to this post to receive this blessing again and again. 

I'd like very much to hear from you. Leave me a message.

Wishing you a beautiful and blessed day. 

With love from my heart,

Master Elaine

An Unshakable Heart

Greetings!

Years ago I heard a spiritual teacher say that suffering is grace because it brings us closer to the Divine.

While I have had this experience, lately I have come to realize more and more that this is not always the case.

Sometimes we suffer and distance ourselves from the Divine. We may become angry or give up on the Divine. Or feel as though the Divine has given up on us. 

This is never the case. 

The challenges we face can be stumbling blocks that take us off our path (whatever that may be), or they can be stepping stones that lead us further down the path. The choice is ours. Whatever we are facing can be fuel for the journey, or it can completely derail us.

I shared in one of my first blog posts about a difficult time I went through years ago. I was newly divorced with a young son and I lost my home. I held onto my spiritual practice more than ever, and not only made it through those times, which lasted a few years, but they were pivotal times in my life. Despite being some of the more challenging times in my life, they were some of the most beautiful. Truly. They were times of such incredible beauty and expansion. My practice at the time was devotional chanting. I had the Names of God in my heart and on my lips for hours every day. And everything was okay, no matter what it looked like from the outside.

Master Sha teaches about having an unshakable heart. We have to be solid so nothing can shake our heart.

In the Immortal Tao Classic, two hundred twenty sacred phrases for the spiritual journey that Master Sha received from the Tao, there is one line in particular that deeply moves me: 

Lian Xin Bu Dong 

Pronounced lyen sheen boo dawng, this means the Xiu Lian heart cannot be shaken. Xiu means purification and “Lian” means practice. “Xiu Lian” (pronounced sheo lyen) means practice to purify soul, heart, mind, and body. If you are a serious spiritual practitioner, or if you wish to live a peaceful, balanced life, an unshakable heart is a must. 

There is much negativity and pollution on Mother Earth. There is pollution of all kinds, not only environmental pollution. You cannot let it shake your heart. Walking a spiritual path can be challenging at times; to not be distracted by the pollution, and to always be aware of how easily we can create new karma by what we speak, what we see, what we think, what we do. 

One of the benefits of spiritual practice is that it purifies the heart. With a pure heart, the negativity and pollution around you won`t shake your heart. It won`t derail you. It cannot distract you from your journey. What`s more, when faced with challenges big or small, you can stay on track, or more easily get back on track. 

Use everything you can as fuel for your journey, and your journey will keep moving forward.

Everything you do, and everything you experience, can be a way of coming to God.

Have a blessed and beautiful day.

Until next time.

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

Love melts all blockages.

I remember my first visit with my guru. He had shown that he read my mind. So I looked at the grass and thought. "My God, he's going to know all the things I don't want people to know." I was really embarrassed. Then I looked up and he was looking directly at me with unconditional love. - Ram Dass

The love of a teacher. On this day, I deeply thank my spiritual father and teacher, Master Sha. His love is boundless. The Dao De Jing says that Tao is bigger than biggest. Master Sha's love is bigger than biggest. 

I have experienced this love firsthand for over nine years. His love has transformed me on so many levels. It has made me want to be a better person. To help more people. To ask for forgiveness for my mistakes. To forgive others unconditionally. To understand that we are all One. Every one of us has our own unique journey, but we are all souls on a journey. 

Do I have blockages and issues I need to work through? You bet! But I have the love of my teacher to help me and sustain me. Of someone who has traveled further, much further, on the spiritual journey than I ever knew was possible.

You may have someone in your life who has been a guide, helper, or mentor for you. You may have a spiritual teacher who guides you and blesses you. I encourage you to pause and express your gratitude to the Divine and the universe for this blessing in your life. 

Master Sha teaches this very powerful one-sentence secret:

 Love melts all blockages and transforms all life. 

Truth. Can you feel it? Love truly does melt all blockages.

Do a practice with me now. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor. Gently close your eyes. Put your mind in your lower abdomen. Place your hands on your lower abdomen. Relax your body and allow yourself a few minutes to just be present. When you feel relaxed, repeat the following. You can alternate chanting aloud and silently for three to five minutes each (or longer):

Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.

Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.

Love melts all blockages and transforms my life.

Love melts all blockages and transforms my life ...

Close the practice by expressing your gratitude for the blessings in your life. Thank the Divine, the universe, or whatever fits your belief system. Sit for a moment and radiate your love to these people and other blessings in your life. Offer your Da Ai (greatest love, pronounced dah eye). Close with Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

*****

I encourage you to apply love, your greatest love, which is unconditional love, for the next two weeks. Do this in every situation and, most especially, the challenging ones. Be aware of the transformation that takes place around you and within you.

Please leave a comment. I'd love to hear from you!

Until next time.

With love from my heart,

Master Elaine

Gratitude Changes My Life (And It Will Change Yours, Too)

Greetings!

In my last post I mentioned that I would share a practice to develop gratitude.Today we will look at gratitude and how having an attitude of gratitude can transform your life. 

Often you hear people say they are grateful for this or that. You may have noticed that people who are grateful appear to be happier than those who may not express gratitude in everyday life. This is not to say they don't experience struggles and life blockages because they do. But they see them through a different lens. They view all of life-the ups and downs and in-betweens-through gratitude. 

How would you define gratitude? Master Marilyn Smith has written a delightful and powerful book called Gratitude: A Key to Happiness (Toronto/Heaven's Library Publication Corp., 2010). The title alone is a great teaching! In this book, gratitude is defined in this way:

Gratitude is appreciation, reverence, respect and joy          

that is unconditional.

Read that sentence again once or twice slowly. 

Now imagine having appreciation, reverence, respect and joy that is unconditional. Imagine living and expressing this unconditional appreciation, reverence, respect and joy.

Truly, just as described in this book, I have found the way to achieve an attitude of happiness is to focus on gratitude. When you do this, you connect with the essence of happiness, which is deep inner joy. 

You can start now, right where you are, by thinking for a few moments about what makes you happy. If you have difficulty doing this, start with something small. Are there flowers in your yard or a beautiful tree on your way to work? See squirrels playing in a tree? A baby in a carriage on the street? A cool evening? A cup of hot tea? A comfortable chair or a good book? Maybe you don’t think they are special. Look for something. Do this throughout your entire day. These are things you can say thank you for. 

Do this for one week or more. Do your best to pause and be grateful. Truly grateful. And express that gratitude. The more you do this, the more automatic it will become. The more heartfelt your gratitude will be. The more you will live gratitude.

Master Marilyn says to take however long you need to move from not having anything to say thank you for, to noticing something new, to noticing the beauty in the new thing and, finally, being the expression of gratitude, saying thank you. Doing this practice will help you achieve an attitude of happiness. When you have developed gratitude, you will have touched the essence of happiness.

How beautiful is that?

Now join me in a practice to help develop gratitude. If you are tempted to keep reading and skip the practice, don't! Sit up straight and say:

Dear soul, mind and body of gratitude, I love you.

(Everything is made of soul, mind [consciousness], and body [energy and matter].)

Continue:

You have the power to bring happiness to my life.

Do a good job.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Or you could say:

Dear soul, mind and body of gratitude, 
you have the power to change my response to life.

Do good job.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Then chant (repeat) for three to five minutes:

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life...

Close your eyes and chant for three to five minutes now. Do this simple practice three to five times a day, the longer the better. 

So many of the changes we want to make in our lives can be made by simply becoming more aware and more present. And so it is with developing a grateful heart. In each moment, you can become aware of many things to be grateful for. As you repeat this mantra, you shift your awareness and become the quality of gratitude. You are not just saying the words. 

Connect with the mantra. Become the mantra. 

When you chant that way, gratitude really does change your life. 

We become what we chant. What's your mantra? If it's my life is really difficult, what are you becoming? Ouch. Change the mantra to change your life. 

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life.

Gratitude changes my life...

By incorporating this simple practice in your daily life, you could experience huge shifts in your life. And one who experiences and expresses gratitude in daily life is a blessing to others.

Gandhi said, "Be the change you wish to see in the world." What change do you wish to see? Happiness starts here and now, with you. 

Quick! What are you grateful for?

Leave a comment and share your experiences with practicing gratitude. I would love to hear from you.

Until next time.

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

Love Beyond Measure

Dear Ones,

I would like to share a message that I received from the  Divine that has helped me in times when I felt overwhelmed, upset, or that life was really difficult.

Relax. Open your heart to receive this tender message from the Divine that is meant for everyone:

You are loved beyond measure.

When life brings challenges of any kind, come to me. Remember my name and call it often. I will support you. When you can no longer carry your burdens, lay them at my feet.

I am here for you.

You are not facing the world alone. You are my child. I cradle you in my arms though you cannot see me. I wipe your tears without your knowing. 

You are loved.

You are loved.

You are loved.

*****

Thank you, Divine.

How blessed we are to have the unending support and boundless blessings of Heaven. It is truly a blessing beyond comprehension or measure.

Have you received a similar message of support at any time in your life? I'd like to hear from you.

With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

A Treasure Beyond Words: Divine Healing Hands

Sometimes we are met with opportunities that are like rare gems, and we either recognize them as such or pass them by.

I have done this many times myself; not recognized or understood deeply enough the value of something or someone until it was too late. The opportunity was lost.

Why am I sharing this? There is an opportunity that is available to everyone, and it can help you, your loved ones and humanity in a very special way.

Millions and millions--we could probably say billions--of people are suffering. They suffer from chronic and life-threatening conditions. Many suffer from emotional imbalances, including anxiety and depression, anger, fear, grief, worry, and more. 

5,000 people around the world have been empowered to help themselves and others by receiving Divine Healing Hands, an incredibly powerful healer transmission that has created thousands of soul healing miracles across the globe. 

Divine Healing Hands blessings can heal and transform humanity and create love, peace and harmony for humanity and Mother Earth.

How do they do this? Divine Healing Hands carry Divine frequency and vibration that can transform the frequency of anyone and anything: your health, emotions, relationships, finances, business, pets, and much, much more. This means that you can apply Divine Healing Hands to offer very high level blessings for any aspect of life for yourself and others. Divine Healing Hands are very unique, unlike any other healing modality, and they complement all healing methods, including traditional medicine. 

It is a tremendous honor to carry Divine Healing Hands. I have applied Divine Healing Hands to heal a variety of issues for myself and many others. One recipient's strong desire for alcohol stopped completely after one blessing. In his own words: 

I feel as if I have transformed into a different person, feeling strength and clarity...I have made changes in my life that have helped me with the issues I shared with you. The biggest change is I stopped drinking. I realized that I was always in a fog and it is why I could not see life the way I see it now. And secondly, I now have control of my emotions like I never had before.

All credit goes to the Divine, from whom these healing treasures and blessings come. I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve.

Divine Healing Hands are only transmitted by Master Zhi Gang Sha and his Divine Channels and Worldwide Representatives, of which I am so honored to be one of 34 worldwide. I myself am not holding a training this time, but you can join the global Divine Healing Hands training taking place April 11-13 in one of 26 cities around the world. It is an extraordinary training at an extraordinary time in history. Learn more and apply to join the Divine Healing Hands movement. 

This Divine Healer training program is a rare gem that is too valuable to miss. I know what it has meant to me and to the thousands of people around the world who have experienced healing miracles from Divine Healing Hands blessings. The purpose of life is to serve. Divine Healing Hands have helped me to fulfill this purpose. It can do the same for you. 

Have a blessed and beautiful day.

With love from my heart,

Master Elaine

A Profound Truth

Forgiveness brings inner joy and inner peace.

~ Master Zhi Gang Sha

This is one of the most profound truths I have personally experienced.

Doing a regular forgiveness practice has transformed my heart, my relationships, and so much more. And I know without a doubt that it has transformed my soul journey.

How can this be? 

Each of us has hurt or harmed other beings in this lifetime and in past lifetimes. We could have caused another soul pain and suffering through our words, thoughts, actions, inaction, and more. We may be very loving, kind, and compassionate beings in this lifetime, but we have had times in some of our past lifetimes when this was not the case. For this we have accumulated negative karma. 

When we receive forgiveness from those we have hurt or harmed in all our lifetimes and we unconditionally forgive those who have hurt or harmed us in all lifetimes, negative karma is transformed. To do a forgiveness practice one time is good. 

To have a regular, consistent, and sincere-from-the-bottom-of-your-heart forgiveness practice is transformational. 

This simple practice, if done sincerely and consistently, can remove so many blockages in your life, including issues with your health, relationships, emotions, finances, career, family, and much, much more. The power of forgiveness cannot be overstated.

I firmly believe that we can transform humanity through the power of forgiveness. 

Truly open your heart to ask for forgiveness and to offer forgiveness. The appropriate souls will hear you and respond accordingly. Some may forgive you the first time. Others will forgive over time. They will see your sincerity and heartfelt desire to transform. This is why forgiveness practice is not a one-time practice. It is important to continue to practice regularly; daily if possible. 

Chances are, we know who some of the people we have hurt in this lifetime, but we don't know who we hurt in all our past lives. This is why we call all souls who we have ever hurt in this lifetime and in all our past lifetimes to join our forgiveness practice session. 

If you have a chronic or life-threatening condition, or if you have serious blockages in any aspect of life, do forgiveness practice as often as you possibly can. 

Here's how to do it:

Apply the Four Power Techniques: Body Power, Soul Power, Mind Power, and Sound Power.

Body Power. Find a quiet place and sit upright with your hands on your lower abdomen. Relax your mind and your body, but remain alert.

Soul Power. Say hello:

Dear all souls who I have harmed, hurt or taken advantage of in this lifetime 
or any of my lifetimes,
I love you and honor you. I invite you to be here now.
I sincerely and humbly ask for your forgiveness for any and all ways I have harmed, hurt or taken advantage of you.
I am deeply sorry. Please forgive me.
I ask this so that we may heal whatever karmic debt there is between us 
and advance on our soul’s journey together living in love, peace and harmony. 
Thank you.

Dear all souls who have ever harmed, hurt or taken advantage of me in this lifetime 
or any of my lifetimes,
I love you and honor you. I invite you to be here now.
I offer you my forgiveness, completely and unconditionally. 
You owe me nothing.
Let us heal whatever karmic debt there is between us so we can advance on our soul’s journey together living in love, peace and harmony. 
Thank you.

Mind Power. Visualize golden light radiating amongst you and all the souls you called. This light radiates throughout Mother Earth and all universes. 

Sound Power. Sing Love, Peace and Harmony (visit www.lovepeaceharmonymovement.com to download this Divine Soul Song). You may simply chant Divine Forgiveness or Divine Love repeatedly. The power of a mantra is increased through the repetition of the message. 

Chant for 10 to 15 minutes. The longer you chant and the more often you do this practice, the better. 

Close your practice by saying Hao! Hao! Hao! 
Hao is Mandarin and means “perfect,” or “get well.” It is an affirmation and a command. Then say Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The “first thank” is for the Divine. The second “thank you” is for the soul(s), or spiritual beings in Heaven who supported your practice. The third “thank you” is for your own soul, mind and body. Lastly, say Gong song (pronounced gawng sohng). Gong song. Gong song to ask all of the souls you called to respectfully return to their abode.

*****

With all my heart, I urge you to begin doing a regular forgiveness practice. You can be flexible and change the words. Most important is that you be sincere. 

How has forgiveness affected your life? I invite you to share here. And I invite you to share your experiences of forgiveness with others. This is one way we can transform the hearts of humanity. 

I wish you great success in your journey of forgiveness.



With love from my heart,
Master Elaine

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.

For more information about how you can receive Divine Karma Cleansing, go to https://www.drsha.com/karma-cleansing-opportunity/ or email me at MasterElaineWard@gmail.com.

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



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

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,

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.

Until next time.
