Master Chang: Faith

July 15, 2004

Faith Transcript

—We gather so that our own strengthening can benefit others in the world.  We gather to connect with Sacred dimensions in whatever form is most meaningful to each of us.

We sit alone, and yet we are strengthened by each others company and companionship.  And we are strengthened by the companionship of the Sacred.

Into our Sacred Space I invite in the guidance that is attached to each of us.  I ask that our guides come close to each person.  So that we may be nurtured by your presence.

I ask each person in the circle to open to input from this evening that is for your wholeness, your happiness, your physical well being, and your ability to walk in faith with something that is greater than we are.

Now, observe your energy field, and sit for a few moments. And go into yourself, and internally make a statement or prayer regarding what you would like to receive tonight.

And in your prayer time, if you have loved ones, friends, anyone that you would like to place in the center of our circle.  So that they receive some of the energy that we together generate tonight.  Do so in your prayers at this time.—

Good Evening.  Now, I wish to say something to you all about faith.  

Faith is something that some of us are blessed with more easily than others.  And if it is not an easy blessing for you, as it is not for most people in your culture in this era, please do not waste your time feeling guilty.  

Faith requires some experience, and of course what happens with anything is, if you anticipate it, it is where you come to sit.  

If you anticipate that your needs will not be met, you will create that in your energy field, and your needs will not be met.  

There may be energies around you ready and willing to meet you, but you have not yet been able to allow your energy field to open significantly enough to allow them to enter. 

So one of the benefits of misery is that it is frequently what is required for humans to fully surrender.  

They become so unhappy that they truly stop their struggle to maintain their ego and their own sense of what they believe, and they truly open.  And this allows a space for some greater force to meet you and to embrace you. 

Now, even with faith miracles will not always occur, because a healing or transformation of someone is a very complex process.  

So do not judge your capacity as a person in the world being kind and good to others by seeing change as you anticipate it.  

It is more important that you stand as an observer, because then you cultivate not doing, not knowing, and therefore the space exists for you to see truth as it is.  And it may be as you would anticipate it.  It may be quite different. 

I will say that the more you integrate and allow into your life the openness for faith, you will find gifts that come which are unexpected, and which are what you need.  

Until you have done some healing and some growth, often what you would ask for and expect is not truly what your soul requires.  

And we on the Spirit realm only feel for you because we understand that often what you are confronted with is confusing for you. 

We understand that you have training in what is truth.  You have training in what is reality.  

And that so much of your process of becoming free and becoming more identified with your own self as soul, your own self as Spirit requires the releasing of a great deal of what your training has been.  

You live in a complex era, and you live in a complex culture where you are told you have many blessings because of wealth of this country, because of technology, because of many things.  

And yet from a point of view of greater evolution of your soul and your spirit, many of these things serve only to confuse. 

So even when you do healing, even when you do any process of your work in which you are trying to conceptualize something for the benefit of yourself or the benefit of someone else, I call you to make a habit of releasing effort and of sitting in a simple way which opens your apertures of receptivity. 

So, in this moment feel your heart chakra, and soften, and open here in this place.  

If you are unsure how to accomplish this simply say, “I am willing.”  You say it to yourself.  

Feel the level of sincerity with which you have expressed this.  And explore, perhaps repeating, “I am willing.”  

You may sense some small adjustments that your chakra is making.  Again say, “I am willing.” 

Allow this willingness to also be in your belly chakra.  To be willing in your belly may require that you let things go.  You let feelings go.  You let common, familiar emotions flow away from you.  

Be willing.  Be willing to stand in your own transformation. 

As you let the energy flow into your second chakra, you may feel sadness.  Bless you.  Feel the sadness, but don’t cradle it.  Allow it to be true.  Allow it to flow. 

And now your third eye chakra, this requires quietness of the brain, of the mind, of the smaller thinking capacity, the monkey mind as many call it.  So, soften in this area of your physical and energetic body. 

So, as you have some greater openness, I call in the energies of this Sacred healing space.  

I reaffirm the boundaries of this space, so that we have the guardianship and the blessings of the Grandmothers and Grandfathers of all traditions.  All of the energetic beings’ intelligences of the Earth and her creation, stone and plant, animal, those that are relevant to you.  

I call them to sit behind you.  I call them to sit around you, and those literally around you as well as those in Spirit. 

I call upon the universe that sits and holds the Earth in place, and the stars that define much of the energies that occur, the pathways of connection.  

I call these energies also for their influence, and their ability to nurture you with that which you need.  

With all of this present, how can you even hope to define what specifically it is that you want or need.  There is such a complexity. 

So, in your surrender, which requires faith that these forces are benevolent, that these forces can come and nurture you with some things which you will know, which you will understand, and some things which will surprise you still benefit you. 

Now, breathe comfortably and deeply to allow these energies to flow inside your being and around your field.  Become as open as a sponge as you are able.  

And if you have fear, if you have doubt, offer it into the center of the circle.  Offer it as something you are willing to release.  Do so now.  

If you can identify an anxiety that you have, or if it is even quite nebulous, offer it to the center of the circle. 

Take the risk of receiving our love.  Allow your guidance to stand before you, and give you a gift of healing nectar which is for you alone.  Allow yourself to simply receive. 

May all have what they need.  Hold that prayer now.  May all have what they need.  

Say for yourself the prayer, “May I have what I need.  May I accept what is present within me, the truth of my own experience.  And yet, have the courage to stand with openness to what may come.”  

Often just what you need is available, but requires the space within you to become present. 

Feel your aura now.  Sense if there is some part of your being, anyplace in your body where you feel a tightening, a holding.  Go to that place and surrender.  

Say, “I’m willing” in that place in your body.  If there’s a place where you reserve judgment, where you try to escape them, either self-doubting words or judgment words, find that location.  

See if it feels like a hardening place, and soften there and say, “I am willing.” 

You have created an energy field of grace.  You float within it.  Be willing to let it permeate all the cells of your body.  

Simply say, “I am willing.”  You might imagine yourself being able to swim in this Sacred concoction. 

Play with this in your mind without thought, just sensation.  

And visualize those who you might give this grace to.  Who would you wish to pass this along to?  And if you should know anyone who has trouble being willing, then wish for them that it enters in their sleeping time when they will be more willing. 

Now that I have you so relaxed and comfortable, is there some questions that you wish us to consider? 

—Master Chang, I’m struggling with learning to trust myself, and allow myself to become the healer that I think I can be. Can you offer any suggestions that would help me practice self trust, and move myself from my little self to my big self?— 

Well, one thing I would suggest is when you find yourself in the places which are familiar of self-doubt, try to energetically do what we have done tonight. 

If all you can do is say prayers of Sacred Space, which you know how to do, and say, “I’m willing,” and lie in surrender.  This is one aspect. 

Another aspect is to give and receive healings.  You must try at least once a week to have an exchange.  So that your field does not have time to settle back into its places of not flowing. 

And when it’s not flowing to break that cycle of familiarity.  

So it might mean go quickly for a walk.  It might mean find something of beauty in the environment surrounding your home, and be with that.  

Perhaps you will work on something, but only if it’s not in a state of, “I should, I must.”  This isn’t good.  Don’t allow that.  

When you find that, shift to something else.  Perhaps open a book.  Find your resources that continue to allow you to shift out of that energy field which is so familiar, but not good for you. 

And you know you have been successful at this.  You know you have been, and so it is a question of another time of shift.  Another time of commitment to your
transformation. 

Assure that the blessing stones are around your property.  

Assess if you need a space clearing around your property, your home, your garden.  If you need this clearing, once you determine, you know you have the ability to sense this.  You will know.  

Even if there’s some little place that is the energy that will pull you back.  Then bring in those who can heal it, those who can clear the space.  You have your resources, no worry about that. 

Also assess if there’s any furnishings or belongings that continue to vibrate with the feelings which are not those which you want to cultivate.  

So, a task for you that is not a big, difficult should, but more for fun, for lightness, for affirming what you know, and what you can call upon.  So, assess things.  

Run your hand over them, and look to see if they have an aura that shines to you, or does not shine to you. 

And also, water is very important for you.  I know you drink water.  But bless it
before you drink it.  Hold it in your hands.  Bless it with its gift of life for you, and thank it for this.  And then drink it deeply like a gift. 

Find as many things as you can in your environment which vibrate to you about the wholeness which you seek.  

And allow your friends to support you when you have need of it, because you can overcome the spaces which feel dark and heavy. 

Bring your guidance around you before you sleep.  

Trust in light dancing in your home.  See it.  And let yourself resonate with it.  And increase it wherever possible.  Be willing.  

And then embrace clarity and delight, lightness and brightness wherever it visits you, and whenever it visits you. 

So often you only connect with what is there when you choose it’s the right moment.  Let it choose the right moment for you.  So you are in true relationship. 

With someone who you love and loves you approaches you, you don’t say, “You’re not there right now because I’m someplace else..”  You say, “Hello!”  You embrace that touch. 

And it will come to you in myriad forms.  And the more you recognize it, the more it will be there. 

You are such hard workers.  You do not make great space for self-nurturance or nurturance by others, and this is an aspect of faith.  

It takes us right back to where I began, faith.  And you will be strengthened and benefit others.  So it’s not for selfishness that I call on you to do these things.  We are all one.  As you are healed you heal others. 

Know that your way is fully unique.  Only you can find it.  And yet you are not alone.  

You have your friendships.  You have the Sacred in whatever form you feel you can access it, whatever names you put to it. 

Feel your aura right now.  Bring your consciousness to its brightness.  Don’t search.  Receive.  Fluid, softer, larger, puffier. 

Into this Sacred Space I call on the force field of the star nations.  I call us into alignment with the ancestors who are the wise ones.  

I ask that each person comes into greater alignment with these forces, these forces which are very impactful to the outcome of humanity.  

I call upon each person to be willing to align with these great forces, so that you may make the changes in your own life that benefit you.  

And then embrace your own strengths for the benefit of all.  These alignments are most powerful.  

You may ask in your private prayer that these changes come to you gently and with grace.  

Or if you are willing for some greater challenge and efficiency, you may ask for that.  

Say your position now within the center core of your being and to yourself. 

Resonate with the words, “I am willing.”  Let the resonance of your prayers, your words, feed your core, and go down beneath you and out above you.  “I am willing.  I am willing.  I am willing.” 

We have given you our blessing.  Receive it deeply.  

You can affect the reality and energy fields of those around you.  This is a Sacred responsibility.  

May it bring you joy.  May it bring you love.  May it bring you health.  May it bring you meaning.  And may you sit comfortably and deeply in faith.  Good night.
