Create / What is a God Box & how do you use it?

The main idea and concept of a “God Box”, is a place where you can store your written prayers, intentions, & even the future dreams you wish to manifest. You can also ask for help or guidance around a certain situation.

If you have a need / desire you want to surrender, and you believe in something bigger than yourself, Higher Power, God, or Spirit, then getting a God Box is a good idea. You will need an actual container with a lid. It can be a box, a can, or even a jar. It can be plain or decorated, big or small, as long as it has a lid.

Once you have your “container”, you can write out your wishes, intentions, prayers, and desires on a piece of paper as they come up. If you wish, write them out as a letter to God, asking for what you need. This is a powerful act of surrendering, and letting go . It is a ritual of sorts, and you can choose how & when you do it. I use my God box at least 1X or 2X a week. I put almost everything that I need help with, from big things to small. Examples are; work, upcoming events, relationship & family issues or problems and short or long trips . Mainly, I put in my dreams, goals, and desires, asking that God help me to accomplish them, or give me their equivalent. I have seen positive results with 90% of what I put into my God Box.

Once you write out that piece of paper, you can fold it up and put it in the box, saying a prayer, or Thank you. Once that paper is put away and the lid is shut, God / Spirit / Higher Power can take over, and you can relax and let go. Trust that by the very act of doing this you are handing it over, and this opens up energy to let things move. You can use your God Box once a year, to set intentions & goals for the next 12 months, or use it monthly, weekly, or daily. Once the box starts to get filled up, it’s a good idea to clean it out. This helps us to review and see how much help we have received, and how much progress we are making.

There are really no rules around using your God Box, except to do it with good intentions for all the people involved. It’s also a good idea to keep the focus on yourself, and for your self, and to understand God’s will is the best way for everyone. Be as specific as possible, if you have questions, they too can be answered. There’s almost no limit to the help we can receive, if we are willing to ask, write it out , & use a God Box.

Love / Surrender and Acceptance

When life doesn’t seem to be working out in the way that I think it should, I need to accept the reality, find peace within myself, and surrender the need to control. Accepting life’s reality means accepting change and realize that it is a fundamental part of life and will happen. Holding on to situations lightly can ease the emotional loads I carry, and also reduce attachment and suffering. This means I still care, yet I’m able to detach from attaching. Practicing acceptance has brought me peace of mind, and it can really help me to surrender. Finding peace within myself means accepting everything that’s happening around me and not take it personally. It involves learning to trust the process of what is happening, and let go of the outcomes. Many times the most challenging experiences of my life have led to my greatest growth. The need to control is powerful for me, and I developed this negative trait as a survival technique growing up in a household with alcoholism ...

Forgive / Forgiveness, Healing & Freedom

One of the most loving things we can do for others & ourselves in this lifetime is to practice forgiveness. The term “practice forgiveness”, is to do it in the best way we know how. We may not do it “perfectly” hence the word practice. Yet to try brings value to not just the other person, but to ourselves, for it is a scrubbing of our spirit that washes us clean of negative emotions. When we feel injured or find fault with another persons actions or decisions, judgements can form, and resentments can grow. These can cloud our vision and quite literally take up space in both our minds and our bodies. The injury we feel can cause anger, and the negative emotions can make our jaw clench & tighten, and our blood boil. These negative emotions can move into the body, much like a person moves into a house, and not leave. They act up, behaving like the very worst tenants ever, wrecking havoc in the home that is our body. This can result in “dis-ease” of the body and soul, a...

Love of Self / 3 Easy ways to Empower Yourself

When we want positive change in our lives, but we aren’t sure what do, sometimes it can be helpful to start by how we think, speak, & feel. Think it- Think of those positive things that you want to happen, and realize that just by thinking about the good things you are creating a start. Create a mental picture of whatever your dream or goal may be, and hold it in your mind. Make this a practice that you can do each & every day. Keep the thought crystal clear. Hold that thought in your mind each day for at least 5 minutes & do this everyday at the same time. This is where you start. Speak it- Words can be very powerful & carry a vibratory force all their own. Take some time to notice what you say, how you say it, & to who. Once you hear yourself, try to change any negative words or phrases to positive. Even if you find it tricky to do, over time your words can reflect the life you want to live. Speak of all the good things that you have, and that can be...
