Getting Out Of Your Own Way Tip #9
(Originally I wrote this post around Thanksgiving in 2015, so please just disregard the day and time and instead please receive the depth of today’s message):
I wish you a DeLightFilled Day of Thanksgiving, hopefully finding many things in your life to be grateful for. Hopefully you are blessed to be able to spend time with family and/or friends today to share the Goodness of Life. There is something about the Feeling and Frequency of Gratitude. It’s so much more than just a word.
Are You In Touch With The Feeling and Frequency of Gratitude Today?
I know there are many out there today, who may not feel much to be grateful for and where loneliness is the prevalent feeling.
To you I would like to offer you my Love and Blessings for finding Love for those parts inside of you who feel excluded from the joy that is celebrated today.
Many years ago a spontaneous prayer popped out of me, during a time where I didn’t feel in touch with Love and Gratitude, and when I really longed for that connection:
Show me how to be grateful
Show me how to pray
Show me how to appreciate life
In every single way
I know I wanted to feel that way, yet didn’t know how. Maybe this longing caused something deeper inside of me to open a door for this prayer to come through. It felt like a gift and made me sense there was something Greater in me that did Love me. At that time of my life it seems that this ‘Greater’ could barely squeeze itself through the door that I had blocked so squarely in order to stay independent and separate from all the pain in the world.
A brilliant first step is of course to be willing to Feel this pain, whether your own or someone else’s, in order to open the door for more Greatness to come through
Opening up to the Greater Flow of Love and Life inside and outside, is today’s tip on how to get out of your own way. It’s an offering to those who long for connection to something Greater or just for the pure human connection in this dimension on this very day, today.
Tip #9
Offer Up This Pain To A Greater Part Of You
Bring your attention to your feelings inside of loneliness, sadness, hurt or anger and see if you can meet them with a kind ‘Hello.’ Gently hold your loving attention right in the middle of the pain, and then do your best to open up to any prayer that spontaneously may arise as a deep longing in your Heart. Offer this pain up, surrender the hard edges and know that it is OK that this task is too big for you to handle on your own.
Gratitude Is Not Dependent On Outer Circumstances
When you get curious about Gratitude Itself, you realize it is so much more than a just a word or a good feeling. It is our divine essence expressing HerSelf as a Feeling and Frequency. The more we can inhabit this Feeling, the more we are able to enhance the Frequency of it, and start bringing more of Its Essence to us in the form of Love, Joy, Intimacy, Fulfillment and so much more.
Finding things we are grateful for in Life now, and really Feeling gratitude is opening the door to this Frequency. Then Gratitude does not depend on outer experiences anymore. The Feeling of Gratitude becomes the very ‘thing’ we are grateful for! It’s more accurate to say that outer experiences depend on our ability to Feel this Frequency in our Hearts, so that they can be drawn to us.
Ripples Coming Back
Imagine dropping a pebble of gratitude in the Field and letting its ripples find their way back to you as an outer expression of this Frequency.
As so many other things in life, we have learned it backwards and we will talk more about the Divine Frequencies in the upcoming posts.
Please get a good feeling from this video about Turkeys who are grateful today

I so appreciate you talking about the importance of “feeling” Gratitude Pernilla. Taking the idea of gratitude from the “head” to the “heart” and deeply getting into the “feeling aspect of gratitude” does open the door to an even greater abundance in the Universe. Lovely posting for Thanksgiving Day. 🙂
Yes, Feeling is the key, isn’t it, with depth and determination until it is in the body
Pernilla, I appreciate your posts, you can tell you are writing from the deep well of your own experience. I love your suggestion to open our hearts and offer up a prayer that asks that that the pain be surrendered. I’ve done this myself and noticed an immediate difference in how I’ve felt.

Thank you for sharing that Jeanette. Lovely to hear from you that you did this before and that it ‘worked!’ Surrender is so hard for us. It is certainly something I am working on till this day today, and luckily it gets easier all the time, but trust in the Goodness of Life has been one of the challenges I have had to work through in this lifetime.
Little by little we are walking back Home where ALL is Well!
Reading your post reminded me of the movie, Pursuit of Happiness, staring Will Smith and his real-life son. Chris Gardner, the father in the movie, helps his son to see all of the good in their life, even when they are living in shelters and enduring great hardship, and this focus on gratitude for what they have helps them both to create the life they want for themselves.
Yes, that is a great movie. We are so conditioned to look for and ‘park our attention’ on what is not working, our problems etc, that we miss the rest of life.
I am not saying it is always easy to see the good in life when you are going through hardship. I can certainly attest to that and remember times in my life I didn’t even want to know the good. I wanted to be angry and felt righteous and empowered in those feelings and it protected me from being hurt – or so it seemed 🙂
Once we have enough consciousness to shift it from our problems to what I call the Flow inside, we can start seeing goodness in hardship.
And another way is to see it at hindsight when we’ve worked through our pains and conditionings. Suddenly we see how this whole experience was actually a blessing.
Yes, everything has its own time and you can’t make yourself feel good if you need time to sink into the pain (and say Hello to it), listen to it and find the deeper truths and messages waiting to be spoken. But in the meantime, it’s good to know that there is more to life than our problems, isn’t it 🙂
