Melody R. Green is a soul explorer, a mother and daughter. A qualified colour and sound practitioner with the International Academy of Colour Therapeutics - UK, her passion is empowering others to live a rich, rewarding life and to see the beauty in the everyday. She lives in Sydney, Australia. Read a sample of the book: INTRODUCTION We
are love. This is the reality. The truth of all we experience, of all we are in
the world. It is extraordinary and magnificent how complicated we create our
understanding of this simple truth. All the permutations of life whether they be individual, familial,
societal or humanitarian – all interactive with each other and all weaving a
vast web of love – across the planet and beyond to the universe. It rather takes your breath away, doesn’t it? And you are part of this. Regardless of whether you are a light bright and joyful or a shadow deep
filled with pain, whatever choice you are making right now to express yourself,
you are love having a conscious experience of yourself. Now you may have decided (as is your right) not to experience yourself as
an earthly being, but to be as a sleepwalker through your life, collecting
experiences for another time and place, and this too is a consciousness – it
may be absent from being present in
the earthly third dimension, but who knows where else you may be present? All
decisions are merely a choice. For me, I was always curious about how humans ticked. What made them who
they were? Why did they respond so? It would be fabulous to think that we arrived on the planet with our
wisdom to recognise that we are love fully fledged with an adult understanding,
but we need life to be lived through us before we can embrace the truth of who
we are. My journey has been unique and yet not so different to others. I have
dealt with the pain of physical and emotional abuse, lack of self worth and
confidence, depression and despair at the death of family, friends and dreams
and yet through it all I have searched for a way to be authentic, true to myself
and been willing to risk much for the sense of love, of me, that I felt needed
to be expressed. It took me a while to realise that ·
by looking out at others I could understand the
‘me’ within ·
each and everyone I saw in the world was a reflection
of me ·
my worldly creation is an expression of myself learning
about myself Once these ideas took hold, change was inevitable. For as I looked at my
life I realised I wanted to explore and react to life differently from what I
had done up until that point. This took me on a journey – a journey to realise myself and to be all
that I can be in each moment. I am still on this journey today. In the beginning when all is new and discovery a joy, the road to self
realisation seems paved with gems and gold. You begin by thinking that at some
time in the future you will have reached your destination and you can celebrate
your self realisation in what remains of your life! After years on the road, we begin to tire of always being conscious. We
recognise that we have had many ‘ah-ha’ moments of enlightenment but
although satisfying at the time and useful to us in the future are just as
quickly swallowed back into the muddy world of living. And so it is necessary to find a joy and happiness in living right now in
the mud so to speak, being a ‘hue’-man being! No wonder the Buddhists revere
the lotus, for its roots are in mud and its flower is to the sun. This is a
perfect analogy of our journey here in conscious living. Getting to this point of acceptance is strewn with our judgements, fears
and illusions and in this space we practise ‘self-terrorism.’ It is interesting to see how we are so consumed with our outward signs of
terrorism when we carry so much of it within ourselves. It is my hope that the
terrorists on the outside will cease to exist when we have let go of the need to
terrorise ourselves. Soul Talk – From Soul to Self, has been a part of this journey for me.
If it offers you a helping hand, a point of support or opposition to your
journey to self, it will have served its purpose. It comes to you with love, without judgement for who you may be and with
complete acceptance of the glorious being you have blessed me with knowing. For without you, I would have no inkling of the magnificence of the I AM. Most deeply I thank you, Melody HOW
TO USE THIS BOOK Firstly,
always be guided by your sense, your intuition of what’s right for you. Here are some options that have worked for others: 1. To dip and sip
Close the book. Breathe in and out. Open the book. Your intuition has
chosen this page. Read, absorb and respond to the thoughts on this page. If you
wish to take this further you can journal your responses and as part of this
process your soul will start communicating with you.
And then you’ll be able to write your own book! 2. More in-depth understanding can come through doing the following: (see
Appendix 1 for an example of how this works) ·
Go to the contents pages and choose a word from each
plane –Spiritual/Emotional/Mental/Physical. ·
Write them down – you should have four. These are the
insights and ways in which you wish to live you life right now. ·
Now look at the contents pages again. Choose one word
from the physical plane and one from the mental plane. ·
The word from the physical plane is showing you what
you need to embrace in order to help you bring your four choices more fully into
being. ·
The word in the mental plane shows you what you are
using to sabotage your journey or block your movement forward into your fully
authentic self. Remember however, that there is no right or wrong choice here. The choice
itself is not the issue, but rather the negative emotions the choice may create
in you. So the next step is to consider what you might be feeling. If you are
upset, frustrated, nervous, angry, dispirited with yourself and your lot then
you are going to need to ‘let go’ of these emotions as the emotions you are
feeling are keeping you in a place of self-sabotage. What does ‘let go’ mean? A visualisation is needed here as the next
step: ·
Step 1 – Imagine the choice is a box that you are
holding tightly to your chest. You are holding this box so tightly that you are
unable to see the box to find out what is in it. In this place the box is
useless to you and is restricting your movements. To gain any joy from this box
you would need to have sufficient distance to see what was inside, wouldn’t
you? ·
Step 2 – So imagine letting it go – put the box on
the table and look inside. What is in the box? What will you do with what’s
inside the box? No matter your choice here there is a gift in this box. It is
the gift of understanding or wisdom in the box. Accept the gift; it is the next
thing you need to go on your journey. How do you accept the gift? By saying you
will e.g. I will accept this gift of ____________. ·
As you do this the box and gift usually disappear. If
this does not happen straight away, then keep going till all the gifts are
understood. It is that simple – your sabotaging behaviour is a gift! First
Choice We
made the first choice in this world of duality when we chose to be a man or a
woman and have a life experience. But the first step to understanding that you are one, you are whole, is
to realise that you exist because your shadow side does as well. It is not in
opposition to you but acts as a foil for the light of you to shine. Let me explain. If you have incarnated as a male – your shadow side is
your inner female and vice versa. This shadow side is where you filter your unconscious thoughts, beliefs
and then respond to them with your emotions and actions. Often the shadow will hold your heritage – the patterning you have
agreed to be this lifetime – your non-physical DNA if you like. The impact of
this DNA is profound. It acts as a magnet to attract experiences to you so that
you can find out or become conscious of your thoughts and feelings. It is only when you begin the journey to consciousness that you will
understand the concept of choice and co-creation of your personal version of the
universe. Most people choose to learn this through pain and suffering, but it could
so easily be learned through joy and delight. Those who have been avatars or
guiding lights through humanity’s history have tried to instil in their
followers this understanding. Even in this there is choice. The choice does not always lie with the
event that happens to us (although through past actions we can influence these
events.) Where real choice lies, where our point of absolute power sits, is in
our choice of how we react to the event. Hence we may have two people who have had their belongings stolen. Person
A may react in fear and victimhood demanding retribution whereas Person B may
philosophically shrug their shoulders and say that they were glad to be of
service to the thief. For the thief obviously had more need of their goods than
they did. These are of course extreme responses and the reality is often more
complex than has been illustrated here, but the essence of the example remains.
We are always at a point of choice. Soul Talk # 2 – From Soul to Self is designed to be a place where you
can play with choices. * * * You may take all that is written here seriously and studiously and even
questioningly OR You may approach it all with light-heartedness. This too is your choice! All is valid. A heart that is filled with light knows love and a mind
that is serious and contemplative accesses wisdom. What glorious gifts! Who could want more? For this is truth – that all routes of your individual journey bring
you to who you already are – Love and wisdom. There is nothing else. Female Congratulations! You have chosen to be a woman. You are the energy of Yin, receptive, intuitive,
emotionally perceptive and expressive. In your life time you may choose to experience the
roles of daughter, sister, aunt, mother, lover, friend, confidante, companion,
carer, high priestess, comforter, holder of your tribe’s history, widow,
spinster or crone. Career woman, superwoman, goddess, siren or whore. All roles are open to you and you may take on more than
one and multiple roles at once, as is your choice. Enjoy your femininity. Embrace all of your being. Revel in being a woman. Male Congratulations! You have chosen to be a man. You are the energy of Yang, active, logical, outwardly
motivated and expressive. In your lifetime you may choose to experience the roles
of son, boy, brother, uncle, father, lover, friend, mate, companion, provider,
high priest, carer, creator of your tribes history, creator of the ‘rules’
by which your tribe lives, widower, bachelor, hermit, wise man, career man,
superman, God, Adonis, pimp or whore. Enjoy your masculinity. Embrace all of your being. Revel in being a man. Personal
His-stories and
Her-stories When we were a baby we cried often. Most parents think there is a reason for this, that we
need to be fed, changed, comforted or loved. And all of these maybe true. But more importantly, you as a soul have arrived in a
big place with lots of emptiness and unknown-ness that is often filled with
energies of those you love, but also those you don’t know, don’t like the
look of or feel unconnected to or threatened by. This experience called living
seems overwhelming and scary. So how do you cope? You cry. You cry your sound out into the world so that
you know that in the mad world of other people’s energies you exist. For if
you didn’t hear your own sound, could not vibrate with it, you would feel lost
and may give up being here altogether. This is the first step of creating our personal
his-story or her-story. Where we have been becomes the familiar that we visit in
order to feel comfortable about ourselves. In time when our stories start to fill with sorrow and
disappointment we rewrite our stories subtly (and sometimes not so subtly)
changing details so that the reality of what happened can match the dream that
we had intended for ourselves. The problem with doing this though is there is so
little space for new dreams to come into being because the patterns of the past
mean that we create more of what we would like to change about our lives (i.e.
we create the same problems) when what we really want to create is what we want
– which is a change of view. Personal his-stories and her-stories and our attachment
to them become a noose around our neck that burdens us with limitations in the
present. We need to be free to experience life in each moment,
creating it as we go and following the flow of love. To do this with ease and
grace means to let go of our attachment to the past. Being able to look at photos and mementos of your life
and not recognise them as you now but from another time, almost as though they
were a completely different being is a sign that you have accepted the truth of
time. For in this moment you are a completely different being
from the ‘you’ of yesterday or year. Become selective in what you tell people about who you
are. When you meet someone new decide on a personal his-story day – a time to
tell your tales about you. Answer any questions that are brought forward from
the telling with the wisdom of hindsight – and then never mention them again. They have no true bearing on your present and even less
on your future unless you wish to repeat your patterns all over again. Journal your story up to the end of last year and then
at the end off each year that passes add an entry – creating a snapshot of
that year and then let it go. It is more important that you recognise yourself as
love than you recognise your personality or identity. An adult does not need to hear herself in the world to
know she exists, for as an adult she knows she is the ‘I AM’ present –
nothing else of her-story is relevant unless the I AM energy of love embraces
it. Trust in love and BE. Nothing more is asked of you. Click on the cart below to purchase this book:
