Receive Heaven's and Mother Earth's Nourishment

Dear Ones,

You may have had experiences in your life where you were deeply touched, inspired, and transformed. It could have been from reading a book, participating in a seminar, an experience in nature or with a spiritual teacher or something else that stirred your heart and soul. For me, watching Master Sha serve inspires me to be more loving, compassionate, unconditional, and more. To be a better servant. He gives selflessly and sacrifices so much to help humanity to heal, to transform, and to uplift and advance their soul journey beyond description.

The Tao I-II Retreats have been incredibly heart-touching and opening in this regard. It is a most sacred time. The teaching, blessings, and practices transform our shen qi jing (soul, heart, mind, energy, and matter) blockages moment by moment. Just being in Master Sha's presence does this.  Throughout history, spiritual seekers have spent lifetimes to purify to such a degree that they could reach and meld with Tao. Still, so few accomplished this. We are extremely blessed to have this opportunity to receive these teachings.

I invite you to join the Tao III-IV Retreats for Healing, Rejuvenation, and Longevity via live webcast from wherever you are in the world. The healing and transformation that is possible is beyond words.

I am sharing a powerful practice to receive Heaven's and Mother Earth's nourishment, to build your Jin Dan (golden light ball in the lower abdomen), and remove shen qi jing blockages in order to heal, rejuvenate, and reach a very special condition. 

Apply the practice often to experience its power. In one sentence:

If you want to know if a pear is sweet, taste it.

Watch the joy-filled video below and practice along with Master Sha. You will be extremely blessed.

Dear Ones,

Today I am filled with gratitude, not only for what I have received in the form of spiritual teachings, healing, blessings, and more, but for all that is available to those who are ready to receive.

Our task is to open to receive and to share what we receive in service to others. As we heal and transform, as we raise our vibration and more, we can better serve others.

Open to receive!

Just being in the presence of a high level spiritual master such as my teacher, Master Sha, removes blockages in the soul, heart, mind, energy, and matter (shen qi jing). 

His generosity-in the form of blessings and more-transforms our blockages from our many lifetimes. 

What does this mean? 

It saves us lifetimes-not days, months, or years-of struggle, suffering, and spiritual practice.

Step into the Tao. Join the Tao Retreats.

Looking forward to joining with you.

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

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

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.

Do you have something you'd like to share? Please leave a comment. And be sure to subscribe to my blog.

Until next time.

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.
