Padma Sundari

Out of Darkness, the Light is Born

The light is powerful enough to survive exposure to the darker side of humanity and remain pure, empowered and effective. Trust in your spiritual purpose as a light in this world. Trust particularly in your ability to bring purity, order, grace and light to disorder, chaos and destruction. The Divine is ever by your side and ever within your heart, assisting you with this higher purpose in all ways.

In A Reading

All issues can be healed through the unlimited recourse and creative resourcefulness of the Divine. You are destined to be part of a creative solution for any issue that you have in your life or that exists in the world and touches your heart. The issue only exists so that divine genius can resolve it! Struggles are sometimes the beset way for us to learn something we need to understand for our life journey. Trust that when you ask for help, even apparently impossible situations can be turned around. With willing human engagement and divine grace, there is more than enough light, healing, creative innovation, wisdom and energy available to keep Mother Earth and all her creatures, including humanity, thriving. Never give up your hope and trust in what is possible – nor your willingness to act upon that hope and trust.

Spiritual Guidance

The Divine Mother, in the form of Padma Sundari, is Lakshmi, the goddess of wealthy, beauty, love and spiritual enlightenment, represented as a shining lotus. An ancient symbol for spiritual enlightenment, the lotus rests pure upon the muddy waters from which it has grown. Lakshmi’s divine lotus flowers remind us that the spiritual light needs material form through which it can manifest itself in the world, as if it were divine electricity needing the lamp of the soul through which to give the gift of illumination. Without the lamp, the electricity cannot manifest its power, and without electricity, the lamp cannot fulfill its true purpose.

When the oracle of Padma Sundari appears, her message is that you are able to do a lot of good in this world. The Divine Mother will assist you with your purpose so that you succeed, but you must take action. Allow the light of spirit into your soul so that you never again feel that you are doing anything on your own. Remind yourself regularly you have a divine sponsor, guide, coach, partner and friend with you always. That friend has unlimited resources and the most powerful will of all. Notice how your confidence to take action increases when you build that belief system within you – how much more secure, courageous and willing you become.

Part of your spiritual path requires that you walk your talk and live in a way that shows optimism and practicality. When something’s not working, we don’t need to hide from it in shame. We face it because we spiritual self-esteem and self-confidence. When we choose courage, we can confront what isn’t working and are able to search for answers. Rather than becoming overwhelmed or afraid of any darkness, remember that the Holy Mother is with you and within you. With your active participation, she will bring you everything that you need to confront and tackle any issue, no matter how intimidating it may seem, one step at a time.

Along with the power of your divine connection, you have the intelligence and ability to find information, to educate yourself, to try out new behaviors so as to become an active part of the solution for any matter that moves you deeply. Taking these steps will boost your self-esteem and energy levels, helping you to feel good about yourself and your presence in this world. It’s not about being perfect, it’s just about taking the next step for you. Trust in divine timing, realizing that there is a far-reaching good that can happen through you as you continue to be actively engaged with life and your inner divine relationship. Believe in what we can and will accomplish together, through our passionate love affair and the Great Spirit and our adoring devotion to the Earth Mother and her children.

Healing Process

If possible and practical, this exercise can be done barefoot. If you cannot physically move through the process, then visualize or imagine it, instead.

Stand comfortably, with knees slightly bent and feet about hip width apart. Allow your posture to be straight but relaxed.

Direct your awareness in your feet. You can help this process along by wiggling your toes a little, shifting your body weight slightly from heels to toes and side to side, and rising up onto your toes and back on your heels if your balance is good today. Imagine that you can feel your feet from the inside.

Imagine, feel or intend that your feet can sense the energy of the earth, rich, nourishing and vitalizing, in the ground beneath you. Imagine and intend that the magnetic pulling power of your feet is strong enough to create a palpable connection – a gentle suctioning motion – between your feet and the energy of the earth. Allow the earth energy to build up beneath your feet and then flow up through your being, softly out through the top of your head, gently cascading down on either side of you, soaking back into the ground.

Say aloud: I call upon divine grace and unconditional love to show me truth and creative solutions, empowered by divine wisdom, for all matters in my life, including (mention anything particular or specific here that you would like to help to resolve or heal). May all beings know and be blessed, assisted and empowered by the Divine Mother to fulfill their purpose and potential. So be it.

Place your hands in prayer.

You have finished your healing process.
