Recently I expressed these words in a letter to my three grown children as their mother and friend, after I completed Level 2 Esoteric Healing course with one son and then Level 3 Esoteric Healing Course by myself. It felt like a wonderful opportunity to heal childhood hurts at the source. I now feel to share this letter to express publicly the awesome healing that is possible for all of us if we choose it.
A Letter To My Children …
I feel that I did not reflect lovingly to any of you, my three children, how to BE in your fullness, allowing your soul to connect to you as you lived and did things every day.
I was very good at doing things with you and for you; and also for many other people and or worthy causes as well. My focus on ‘doing things’ that I gave you unfortunately came with an energy that was full of my un-cleared hurts and needs as I tried to be the perfect mum and friend; to be the best person as a Christian, doing my bit to change the world; to make the world a better place.
In recent years I have found and chosen a new way of living. I have done much soul searching and work on myself to remove layers and layers of hurts and issues that had formed me as a person throughout my life. I had chosen to take on board many influences from:
- my own parents
- catholic church doctrines
- society’s attitudes
- cultural influences.
There were also many other attitudes and ideals that I chose to adopt from many other external sources from the time I was a little girl – who then grew to be an adult and a mature woman. Many of these influences were strongly filtered to be considered appropriate for me to believe in and follow in my decisions in how I lived my life.
Now I know that I have had the truth inside me all along.
No one told me that; yet I also chose not to feel that for myself either. It has taken me quite some time to develop my awareness again of how I actually feel about everything and have always been able to feel, but how I have often disregarded what I was feeling in favour of what I was thinking or what others were telling me to think.
I feel to say that by firstly having self-care, self-nurturing, and self-loving rhythms in my day as to what I eat and drink, how I sleep, talk, move, dress etc. has reawakened my awareness of the truths I know within me and always have. This is my way of getting clarity with my living choices from now on. My four beautiful grandchildren reflect this truth to me from their souls.
I am sorry that I did not reflect this way of living to you when you were little and even sooner than just recently. However, I know that I was always seeking what I can feel now.
I want to renounce my past ways of mothering and claim my new ways of being a mum and now a grandmother in my fullness.
It is not about being perfect and then feeling guilty when I slip up. Those days are gone. It is about living gently in stillness and bringing a loving presence to every moment of every day.
Sometimes I can do that and sometimes I fall back into old patterns of rush, anxiety, busy doings, frustration, judgement, comparison, feeling self-worth issues of not being good enough etc. etc. However, when that happens, I now feel it and renounce it. I let it go. I then trust that if I truly self-nurture and lovingly reflect on my daily rhythm of living I will reconnect to my loveliness within, which is my amazing self – my soul. It is an evolving way of living that never feels comfortable for very long as my soul has a constant way of inviting me to step up to another level of awareness. How awesome is that!
In this way of living I am still able to be very busy at what I choose to be involved in. In fact, it is my way of choosing to serve humanity. That is still my focus as I feel it has always been. However, it is now lived so very differently from before.
I feel that my sharing this with you in writing will resonate with you as I have sometimes expressed some of this to you in many conversations as well. It is not meant to impose a way of life on you. It is simply expressing my truth to you as I have always tried to do as your mother and friend, but it is also now to clear any past influences from me on you that were not from my fullness in my innermost or my soul . . . I feel you will feel the difference.
I hope that you can feel the loving support I am offering you now that comes no longer laced with my hurts and issues or layers of attitudes, values and ideals. I hope that you feel this release of my ‘energy’ on you as you make your own choices about your way of living.
You are amazing people. I feel your awareness and loveliness. You mean the world to me. Be gentle with yourselves. Don’t cap your joy. Your loving reflection is awesome.
With love,
Mum/Janice Mooney

Totally blown away with the love and honestly shared Janice. I am crying as I too am a mother of 7 who did not mother from what I know to be true in my heart. Your children and grandchildren are blessed to have you choosing the Way of the Livingness at 64 as its never too late to connect back to truly who we are.
Its a very humbling thing to experience people taking responsibilities for how they are and their actions and aiming to be the best that they can without need for perfection but an open heart to be, learn and listen.
What a amazing letter this would be for all of us to receive from our parents, a re-imprinting and freeing from the role’s that parents play, and a true and fresh way of relating, thank you Janice.
Wow Janice, that’s beautiful, thank you for sharing it. Such a gift to release the old ways that weren’t truly you and embrace instead the loving ways that you know yourself to be.
The claiming of the truth you now live, from the love you are Janice is awesome to feel. Thank you for sharing this letter – a confirmation of the deepest care you hold for all.
This is deeply moving Janice, I feel like it is for everyone, not just your children.
“I feel to say that by firstly having self-care, self-nurturing, and self-loving rhythms in my day as to what I eat and drink, how I sleep, talk, move, dress etc. has reawakened my awareness of the truths I know within me and always have. This is my way of getting clarity with my living choices from now on. My four beautiful grandchildren reflect this truth to me from their souls.” it is our first responsibility to feel our feelings. thank you for sharing.
This is a beautiful letter written for all children from all parents. To be so honoured at any age can never be too late. The love and support you are offering to your children is very touching.
Janice I feel that your powerful letter could be adapted to fit most relationships. The key phase that you used ‘came with an energy that was full of my un-cleared hurts’ is what propels most of us into the vast majority (if not all) of our relationships. We lug our suitcases of past hurts around and unpack the shabby mess in the bedrooms of all of those that we are in relationship with. How many of us can say that our marriages are free of needs, that our relationships with our parents are free of needs and as for our relationships with our kids, wholly schmolly it’s Need central !
Well expressed Alexis Stewart. The feeling of the suitcases being lugged around full of our un-cleared hurts is powerful and unfortunately true until we choose differently.
I am still laughing with this sentence – “wholly schmolly it’s Need central !”
Yes this is a beautiful sharing that shows there’s always the opportunity to express and bring love and understanding. “I want to renounce my past ways of mothering and claim my new ways of being a mum and now a grandmother in my fullness” an immense support indeed.
Thank you Janice for sharing your letter. Your words here beautifully celebrate your return to you. It can be easy to get caught in the roles and duties of life and loose connection with ourselves, but we are never far away.
“Now I know that I have had the truth inside me all along.”
Wow, what an amazing letter! To meet your children with such honesty and clarity of what was at play in the past and to reimprint your relationship with them with such truth and love is a beautiful gift. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me Janice.
Very beautiful to read Janice, I love to feel how tender you are with yourself and how embracing you are off your past choices. This is a blessing to read. Thank you.
and very refreshing and a learning for all mothers. To let go of the hurts and start afresh with love and no guilt with their children. A beautiful way to build strong truth filled relationships without imposition.
A mother who does her best to not impose on her children but instead to love them directly from her heart. Now that is amazing and super inspiring. Thank you.
I agree Robyn. As mothers, speaking from my experience- we do not even consider that we were imposed upon or could possibly be imposing on our children. It wasn’t until I was introduced to energetic awareness and responsibility that I realised I carried hurts, beliefs and ideals that was stopping me from being all I am in my heart. I am sure every mother would choose to love and parent from their heart if they did not have hurts just as every child would choose to be parented by an adult in their heart.
It is gorgeous that you have deeply felt the woman that you are behind the role of mother you played and chose to reimprint your relationship with your children by showing them what you now choose for yourself. Your honesty is inspiring as is your ability to let go of the past and any guilt and embrace what you now know to be true and present that without expectation allowing your children to truly feel who you are and the love you are now living and holding them in. Awesome.
This is beautifully said and right on the money Samantha ‘you have deeply felt the woman that you are behind the role of mother’ and from this blog a very gorgeous, strong, honest and loving woman.
Beautifully said Janice and Samantha!
Beautifully said Samantha, to feel the woman we are behind the role of mother or any other role we play is deeply nurturing and healing. Living true to who we are then offers everyone, children, friends, family, the reflection that is on offer when one drops roles and starts living from the love and grandness we know to be our true way.
Beautifully expressed Samantha – being able to discern the truth of ‘who we are’ from the roles we that we have chosen to play out in our lives is key to our true healing.
“you have deeply felt the woman that you are behind the role of mother you played”
What a gorgeous gift for your children to receive, and thank-you Janice, for feeling to share this letter with us all. And thank-you to Universal Medicine for reawakening so many to the understanding that we all, each and everyone of us have the potential to connect to our amazing selves, no matter what hurts we carry or ideals and beliefs we have been brought up to believe in. I wholeheartedly agree Universal Medicine is absolutely awesome.
Deidre, I agree with all you have said here. This is a truly amazing gift Janice has given her children and a beautiful sharing with us all. I too thank Universal Medicine and especially Serge Benhayon for being such a great friend to us all and sharing with us so much that has so many of us now living the wonderful lives that we are now experiencing. We have learned to be our true selves now, still very much a work in progress for many of us, but so very worthwhile.
Beautifully said Deidre and I agree “each and everyone of us have the potential to connect to our amazing selves”.
Esoteric Healing Level 2 was a powerful experience for me, healing my childhood hurts was massive and it was a huge turning point for me. What I realised at this course was that I had capped my joy from a very young age to not allowing myself to be who I am. This realisation brought up a huge amount of sadness for me to feel and release. At the end of the course I was able to truly feel the joy in my body, an experience I will never forget, as I now know it has always been there and I can choose to live and express it. It was after this course that I started to really commit to changing my old patterns and to reconnect to who I am, giving myself permission to be joyful and love again.
WOW Janice, this letter is a LOVE BOMB! K A B O O M !
How humbling to let go of those influences you may have imposed upon your children in the knowing that you were living less than the love you are. Im sure that letter would have released so much for them and for you but equally so strengthen the love that is there with you all, simply from your honesty. A truly inspiring letter that confirms so much about you Janice.
Amazing letter Janice, thank you for sharing this with us. Your words are deeply inspiring, honest and healing. What a blessing it is for your children to receive. ‘Don’t cap your joy.’ This was exactly what I did before I embraced The Way of The Livingness. Now, I am learning to live with gentleness, love, truth and joy.
“Don’t cap your joy” – absolutely gorgeous.This reminded me of something that happened yesterday. As my son was making the bed yesterday I was feeling stressed and trying to get some work done. I had spoken to him rudely. He continued making the bed singing a song he made up up with the words “no one can take the joy out of me”. It stopped me in my tracks, brought me back and it was such a gorgeous thing to witness.
Nikki, I love reading your comment about your son’s song “no one can take the joy out of me”.
What a beautiful way to be ‘stopped in your tracks’ and be offered the opportunity to choose differently in that moment.
This letter Janice, is a very beautiful read, which holds simple, loving, living truths for all to feel and choose. You pave a gorgeous way forward with your words. Thank-you.
Hear Hear Julie – so true – indeed a way forward by a great example!
Janice, what an awesome and deeply feeling letter. I can feel that this is what I would love to say to my children- your letter feels like it is for all children. Amazing and thank you.
So true Anne, it is such a healing for us all. (Adults and children!)
By sending this letter you sent a letter on behalf of all the mums to all the children. It is never too late to change your life, make loving choices and express truth to others.
Most definitely Monika – Janice’s letter to her children is Universal.
There are not many conversations between parents and children like this, which is a shame because they are so much lighter than the blaming that can occur when discussing ones upbringing. To actually be willing to say ‘I wasn’t providing a loving foundation for you then, but now I renounce those old ways and choose to start anew’ is pretty cool. Because no matter how old our children or parents may be it’s never too late to start practicing the expressions of gentleness, honesty and love.
Absolutely, Leigh, there would be very few families that would have been sent a letter such as Janice has sent to her children. But maybe there will be a few more after this wonderful example. I grew up in a family where there was none of this sort of connection, and as a result, yes, I followed suit with my children. I so feel so sad about this now, but I did not know any better. I have been much more open with them now, but what a great idea Janice has used to sent such a great letter, she has renounced all that past energy, and cleared so much for her children in sharing this with them. So beautiful to see and read of.
Absolutely agree Leigh Matson there could be far more conversations in relationships that have self-responsibility and honesty in them. It is so easy to point the finger somewhere else or at someone else but so very healing for everyone if we take responsibility for our part in creating the reality that we do not like or feel is not true or loving.
That’s so true Leigh and thank God – it’s never too late “to start practicing the expressions of gentleness, honesty and love”.
I feel that too Leigh, there is not many parents who can talk this openly with their children (whatever age they may be), being open without any need to be defensive for perceived past wrongdoings. Janice is leading the way, how to re-evaluate our lives and how our choices have affected others, and to make a choice if this is the way we want to continue to operate – or not. Janice has found a new depth to go to, allowing such beautiful honesty and love to come forth, and expressing that without holding back. It’s a true blessing for us all.
Yes Leigh and its also inspiring to see that we don’t have to settle for the way things are just because we have been doing them for a long time. Old patterns are hard to break especially between children and parents. Janice is now offering her children a new way to be simply by making self-loving choices for herself.
So true Leigh, it is never too late to start from scratch and to claim the love we are and to improve our relationship with other people.
Leigh there are not many conversations where we honestly share. It would change humanity and our well being if we spoke our truth and the truth was able to be heard, our relationships would evolve enormously.
Janice, it takes A LOT of courage and Love to admit what you have and move on. What a great letter for your children to receive and also for them to feel the release of being free to live their own way without any impositions. We don’t realise how our unresolved issues and needs and hurts can impose on others and your graceful way of dealing with this Janice brings tears to my eyes. Thank you.
Thank you Janice, yes, this letter could have been written by me and for me too and I suggest will eventually be a script that everyone could use or read. That’s profound really to realize that most of humanity could relate to your words.
I so agree Susan – I can deeply feel all Janice has written – as if it was written for me…
Janice there is no doubt that your children will feel the amazing mum you are, having left behind all your “hurts and issues or layers of attitudes, values and ideals.” The readers of your letter are also partaking in the radiance that is now you.
Yes and how incredibly freeing for our grown children when we absolve ourselves as parents from responsibility for the love they choose for themselves – they are then free to renounce blame and accept responsibility for their own love as adults themselves, just as Janice has done for herself. A very beautiful flow-on effect of the choices made towards love.
Wow this is such a beautiful and healing letter that you wrote here on behalf of everybody. Thank you Janice for your absolute dedication to love.
Thank you Janice for sharing this with us all. A beautiful letter of love and appreciation.
That is a deeply beautiful love letter to your children that is just so rich with joy and allowance. I can read how you respect them and hold them as equal, and in such great love. The honesty with which you write, allowing yourself to be seen as a tender, delicate, imperfect woman who is full of joy is flowing through you. Thank you for sharing this letter.
Indeed it is Hannah and your expression is equally beautiful.
I agree Hannah, Janice has shared with her children and all of us a true love letter. There is not one ounce of hooking emotion, and it holds the reader in absolute love and equalness.
Indeed Hannah – it is a letter for all of us to enjoy and learn from, it is honest, real and very relatable. Allowing imperfection in our lives is a lesson that cannot be repeated often enough.
Wow what a powerful gift for yourself and your children.
What a beauty-full blessing it is for you and your children to have you begin to make these changes in your life and open up to such healing. The learnings in these courses definitely go way beyond just benefitting ourselves, they are a true healing for everyone we bring our expanded livingness to.
That’s so true Joshua. That’s also what I love about these courses….it is never solely about the individual, it is about the contribution we make to humanity through our choices to care for ourselves, forgive ourselves and love and appreciate ourselves.
Janice the letter that you have shared is incredible for so many reasons. Incredible because it reflects where you are and what you have had to do in order to get there; Incredible because it offers your children healing and evolution and incredible because it speaks for most parents in the world. Truly beautiful.
I love the simplicity of this line: “Now I know that I have had the truth inside me all along.” It is like the lights go on and we see what we have been holding all along – sheer beauty. Truth never leaves us; it is us who depart from truth we hold forever in our hearts.
Yes Liane and we are blessed to have Serge Benhayon and all that Universal Medicine has to offer leading us to that very light switch!
Not only do I feel blessed that Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine are leading us to that light switch, but quite frankly I feel blessed that something inside me said yes to it!
Yes, Michelle – this is my experience too – thank God, something inside me said yes to being open, willing and deeply inspired to respond to the presentations by Serge Benhayon, Universal Medicine and the countless other students who also have felt the truth and huge blessings from this.
Me too Michelle and now it’s time to light the way for the rest of humanity.
…because it is the Divine chorus 🙂
We can only renounce our unloving ways when we have accepted in full that they have not served either others or ourselves. When we are able to take responsibility for our past choices, we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more. The more we surrender to this, the more full we become of ‘that which we are’ and in so doing, the past lived as ‘that which we are not’ is transmuted to the quality in which we now stand. It is an act of grace to witness a mother writing to her children in this light. Thank you Janice, for sharing this with us.
I love what you have shared here Lianne, thank you.
Well said Liane, the reawakening of ones soul is a lived experience and does not require an apology but instead a steady way forward that all can feel and and be inspired by.
The soul does not beat itself up for what has been lived in the past. The steady way forward is walked with love.
Spot on Liane Mandalis, beautifully expressed.
Beautiful what you share here Liane. It offers the truth that love is responsibility. To be responsible for our choices and accept what has served humanity and with this us and what not we walk the path of our true divine origins. Life is not about getting it right, but living truth and love can only come from truth. That way responsibility is the beauty of embracing always love and not holding on to anything that we have chosen in the past. That way we render individuality naught and always offer a true reflection. Janice writing is an act of grace that floods the world with love.
I love what you have written here Rachel, ‘responsibility is the beauty of embracing always love and not holding on to anything we have chosen in the past.’ This simple phrase really sings to me this morning, thank you.
Until we renounce our unloving ways as you have said Liane the legacy of our past will just be perpetuated. It is never to late to come back to the love we all are.
I really love how you said this Liane: “… we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more. ” Yes, permission to flourish ONCE MORE – as it was always there, just not in full bloom.
Agreed Karina, these word are truly uplifting, for there is no regret, no blame or judgement, but a celebration of our return to truth.
Liane, I appreciate the love that I feel in your words in comment to Janice, and the words that shine for me in this moment are “When we are able to take responsibility for our past choices, we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more.” To feel the depth of this wisdom around the words ‘humility’ and ‘apology’ as a clarification is quite profound I find. I feel that sentence to be so amazing.
It is beautiful what Liane shares, and the sentence, ‘“When we are able to take responsibility for our past choices, we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more.” is amazing.
This is beautiful Liane. The way you describe humility without an ounce of apology is so gorgeous and so perfectly demonstrated in all Janice has expressed.
Beautifully said Liane and hence why there is no need to get caught up in guilt and shame.
Liane you have written your comment so beautifully. The line that especially stood out was “When we are able to take responsibility for our past choices, we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more”. Once we accept that our past choices have been damaging and have accepted that who we are is rather amazing, there doesn’t have to be any self bashing as in the acceptance of who we really are we become committed to a more loving way and in that knowledge know that everything is taken care of.
Written with such deep wisdom Liane.
So beautifully expressed Liane as here you have presented the blueprint that far outweighs any need to apologize. You have clearly outlined the importance of setting love back in motion where it has been absent in past actions. The very act of this transmutes all into the quality of the love that we are.
Whatever page I am on Liane there is another loving comment of yours. This is beautiful example.
“When we are able to take responsibility for our past choices, we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more. The more we surrender to this, the more full we become of ‘that which we are’ and in so doing, the past lived as ‘that which we are not’ is transmuted to the quality in which we now stand”. You are living proof that the more love you have the more love you have to give away.
You have captured something profound here, Lianne, thank you – “we allow a humility to surface that has not an ounce of apology but sings with a love that has been given permission to flourish once more”. There is nothing more beautiful than this surrender, to accept the past and embrace the new dawn of who we truly are.
Also beautifully said Janet… ‘There is nothing more beautiful than this surrender, to accept the past and embrace the new dawn of who we truly are.’ This captures what Janice has shared so profoundly in her letter and we are all graced by that. It is so true that love is spherical, although this letter is for her children, it is in fact felt by everyone equally, if they allow it.
I can really feel what you have shared. That we can ‘only renounce unloving ways when we have ACCEPTED IN FULL that they have not served either others or ourselves’. That makes perfect sense and brings a responsibility to be honest and feel everything that is going on for us.
A very lovely point Liane, that the ‘what is not’ is transmuted to the quality in which we now stand. And I also agree it is an act of grace to witness a mother writing to her children in this light. It is a beautiful expression of love in it’s enormous humbleness, without personal judgement, but an offering to accept not only the past but what is now on offer from the fullness Janice is now living.
Your whole comment is worth quoting Liane – amazing strength in your words. They have come straight from Heaven through your vehicle of expression. Janice and yourself Liane have captured the presence of Love that we all want and do anything to have. Love is the intelligence and the Will of God – it is there in any moment just as long as you surrender and align to the Soul.
Ah yes Martin, thank you. We are always in service – either to that which is love or, that which is not. And so, our behaviours in turn serve us, in accordance to what we have chosen.
That certainly simplifies matters Liane – there are only 2 streams or paths to choose from in every situation – love or not love.
Beautifully expressed Liane, thank you.
Liane your words ” given permission to flourish’ is delightful and exactly expresses the evolution we can choose as we surrender and grow.
It’s never too late to let go of past influences and hurts and begin to truly live again.
Yes Jaime, such a stunning example by MAS.
What a privilege to have been able to read your so wise and loving words to your children. Thank you for sharing Janice.
I totally agree Leigh, reading Janice’s wise andloving words to her children is an absolute privelege.
It is a privilege Leigh. I would like to thank her children also for being open and allowing her mum to publicly publish a personal intimate letter to her children. What courage Janice has to first take accountability in full, and then publish it for all to read. It is evident how much joy Janice is feeling for her life and turning it back into who she is and how she wants to live. Deeply inspiring!
Dear Janice Mooney – what can I say – I feel so moved by your heartfelt letter to your grown children. The reflection of your letter shows me that it is never to late to re-imprint the true love that we are. Thank you.
… my words too – it is never too late to start a fresh, a new way of living with our families.
For sure, it is never too late to change our ways, no matter how old or ingrained the pattern may feel we can always choose differently and bring more true love into our lives.
What you said Roberta is beautiful and spot on.
Thank you Janice for sharing your experiences, love and wisdom.
Gorgeous and so true Roberta – it is never too late.
SO true Roberta, knowing and understanding that it is never too late to re-imprint anything with anyone. I agree that Janice’s letter to hear grown children reflects exactly that.
What a letter. The letter that all children and parents alike can relate to and appreciate. As you say Roberta, it is never ever too late to make changes.
Within the letter iI felt such an appreciation and equality, no judgement – just love. The falsity in the saying “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” springs to mind as anyone can choose to change their entire life at any point. As you say Vicky a letter everyone can relate to.
Dear Roberta, I agree, it’s never to late to stop and feel, if what we have been doing is true or not, and to open up and explore another way, especially The Way of The Livingness, as brought back to us by Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine.
I can most definitely feel your loving support Jan, this is such a gorgeous letter I am touched you have shared it with so many.
Yes so beautiful – it also touched me deeply. And so awesome to share it with so many people.
I am touched by the deep honesty you share with your family Janice. There is no ideal of needing to be ‘right’ as the parent – but simply you, as the woman you are expressing your love.
Gorgeous.
That is very gorgeous indeed. There is no playing the game of I’m-the-parent-therefore-I-know-best. There is no pride and no attachment to self. That alone is a beautiful gift to our children and an incredible reflection for all.
Great comment Kylie, it is so easy to get caught up by the “right” way to be a parent, we are bombarded to how to parent. Yet, in reality it is so simple, live responsibly and lovingly and you will know how to parent each of your children exactly how they need. There is no rule of thumb just the ability to connect and take responsibility for self.
I agree Abby – this blog by Janice Mooney is truly an unexpected gift for us all from a letter that was prepared intimately for the family. I feel the sense of one-ness and that we are all family perhaps in some cases exploring how we may re-imprint that which was not a true way of showing/sharing love in the past as we now through choice and through re-connection to our truth within been developing our awareness, and retracing our steps as we are wending our way back to our true selves once again.
How amazing Janice to be where you are today….of being open enough to feel the truth and have the courage to work through your hurts to be on this journey so that your family (and you) can come to know the beauty of the woman you truly are.
What Janice has written is beautiful and what you have said Deborah resonates deeply with me too
It is a really beautifull heartfelt letter and a blessing for us all. I agree with what Deborah has shared in how amazing and lovely it is to hear and feel where Janice is today. It is a true celebration. This really stood out in the letter to me ‘Now I know that I have had the truth inside me all along. No one told me that; yet I also chose not to feel that for myself either.’ How many of us (millions!) ignore what we feel in that there is a Truth and Love not being expressed in ourselves and others. We are playing a sad game of I will only show you a part of me as you are only showing a part of you. We need to wake up and give ourselves permission to shine and be all that we are. Thank goodness for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine who reflect out to us the Truth and Love we have boxed away and put in the corner. There is so much more than what we are currently living.
It’s true Vicky, we ignore, bury, cover up the fact that we do know that the truth lies within us all. Lifetimes of adhering to the spirits plan of deception got blown open when Serge Benhayon stepped up and shared the truth for us to connect to once again. There is much to be grateful for, and also much to celebrate and appreciate, that we have chosen to overcome our perceived shortcomings and are now prepared to stand up for truth and love in our lives once again.
I love your comment Jo, there is much to celebrate, appreciate, and be grateful for now we have chosen to overcome our perceived shortcoming, ‘and are now prepared to stand up for truth and love in our lives once again.’
So true Jo the ‘ spirit’ has had a field day with humanity, leading us off the path, it will only be when we speak honestly and openly of the devastation, and corruption we currently are allowing that humanity will begin to realise we have been led. There is much to celebrate as this true path of return is much sought by many and the tipping point is building.
It is amazing when you think about it that really we all know deep down that ‘there is so much more than we are currently living’ and yet we don’t live this for a variety of reasons – the biggest of which is probably fear of taking responsibility for what that will mean. So we all settle for the pain of being less colluding with each other all over the place and it takes someone like Serge Benhayon to come along and break us out of it and remind us that there is another way.
Agreed Josephine , we do all know and as I remember what it felt like as a very young child I know, clear as day, that I could feel everything in my body. Then I spent a lot of time , many years , covering all of that purity, innocent and beauty up – it wasn’t honoured in the world , so I went to join the other. How beautiful it is to return to myself , and eternal thanks to Serge Benhayon for reminding me of what I had totally forgotten.
Brilliant Josephine, ultimately it all comes down to whether we are prepared to be responsible or not.
So true Josephine, it is the fear of what it will mean to take responsibility that stops us from taking responsibility! Crazy. Not taking responsibility hurts ourselves and others so much more.
Beautiful, Vicky Crooke, indeed, what an amazing letter Janice has shared with us, expressing what she has been able to learn and how she is re-imprinting her life at this later stage in life, knowing it is so worth it. Thank God for Serge Benhayon and Universal Medicine, who have brought this and so much more to Janice and to me and to anybody who is willing to stop and re-connect, with a true willingness to be honest and open.
It does take courage to be honest about how we have been, and are being when that is not loving. I really appreciate that about Janice’s sharing.
I too feel that this is very courageous, being honest, getting aware and then also expressing to one’s own children where we have not been truthful and loving in all the years of parenting. It is a healing for the present, past and future relationship.
Yes and it teaches children the value of being honest. We ask that of them so the least we can do it walk the talk. It takes courage though because we have to address the fear of not being perfect, of being fallible and of being accountable and that, I suspect, is what takes trust that we will be ok. Self love and respect for others are two good first steps.
Its a big step to be able to review ones parenting in the past and reflect on the mistakes – not a step many of us are very willing to take. But the beauty is in providing you all – Mum and Kids alike with a fresh opportunity to clear the old hurts out of the cupboard and start afresh, with more wisdom, more understanding and more love.
Very true Vanessa to truly heal it takes a great deal of courage and ultimately responsibility. For us to be honest about how we are living and how that impacts on others is the greatest inspiration to heal there is.
It is amazing Deborah, to read and feel the clarity of Janice’s words and not imposing in any way towards how her children choose to grow and offer them to take responsibility themselves.
Lovely Deborah that is a very beautiful appreciation – it only feels wunderbar.
I love that no matter where we are from around the world the key to life is the same – love, appreciation and responsibility 🙂
Beautifully said Deborah. Janice your blog is stunning, and as so many have said it is for everyone. How gorgeous though that you have taken the time to write this to your children and to then share it with everyone. That you have indeed had the courage to look at and feel your own hurts in order to clear the way for you and your children and grandchildren to know who you truly are, and how blessed are we all to feel your true beauty and true expression. I am inspired to do the same for my own children. Thank you
Yes agreed Sandra, Janice has paved the way for what true parenting is. To lead by example and not by a set of rules and dictations.
Janice, when I read an honestly loving letter from a parent to their children, and those children are confirmed in who they are, no matter how old they are, I am deeply touched. The essence expressed is love and there are no words that can capture how important this is in our relationships. We are touched by something more than just ourselves and are given the keys to something glorious.
I really appreciate that letter from a mother, the honesty accepting mistakes as part of evolution and the willingness to share the new way of living with her children, it feels like a mother in the big picture, stepping out of the traditional roles of mums and being an instrument of evolution for her children.
Thank you Janice for sharing this letter. As a mother of younger children I have the opportunity to bring the awareness on how to support and raise my kids best as I was fortunate as you to come across the teachings of Universal Medicine and Serge Benhayon. What he teaches is what I have known all along but did not connect to as much as now. It does not matter that your children have already grown up, you will always be their mother and you can re-imprint your relationship as you are doing now. Inspiring!
The power that we all have to re-imprint our past on an energetic level is simply awesome. In a sense I feel it makes a mockery of time as we shift old patterns as if they never really existed!
This is so true Richard, ‘In a sense I feel it makes a mockery of time as we shift old patterns as if they never really existed!’ There is an idea that as we get older things are hard to change and that we have been this way for so long and it will will be impossible to change certain behaviours and ways of being, but as this article demonstrates if there is a willingness and a commitment then old, long held patterns and beliefs can shift and be re-imprinted.
Agreed, lifting the fog of the illusionary ideals and beliefs in which we encase ourselves is a beautiful, humbling process. And is ongoing for as our awareness grows we uncover yet another layer of self deceit to be released.
I love that – “it makes a mockery of time as we shift old patterns as if they never really existed”. So very true. The saying “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” is absolute rubbish!
As you say Martin “life is still worth living,” and even at 64 years of age we can continue to evolve and refine our way of being. I am a different person from even last year much less 10 years ago as I continue to learn and evolve. As an elder we do ourselves a great disservice in considering retirement as a time to sit back and smell the roses… We are the elders and with that carry a responsibility to be present, engaged as the next generation needs our support and love. If we flake off the balance is not there we are all integral to the whole. But back to your letter Janice how supportive that you claim the essence of who you are and the journey you are on and inviting them along if they choose, an elder leading the way.
Richard it is beautiful how we have the power to re-imprint our pass on an energetic level. This just confirms there is nothing we cannot heal, anything and everything can be re-imprinted, how beautiful and confirming this is.
True Richard, we have been made to believe that dealing with our past has to be difficult, challenging and time consuming. That we have to do the hard yards to undo our past. The Way of the Livingness is so simple it can seem confusing. We have gotten used to life being complicated and when the simplicity is presented we question it because of the belief that life has to be hard.
So true what you’ve all shared here, it can appear complicated and difficult to let go of the past but what The way of the Livingness brings is a simplicity that the body knows how to let go because it’s the one holding onto the past! It holds all our energetic choices – from experience this is very, very literal. Just as we would walk a certain way when holding a large box or object the body moves in a certain way when it is holding onto behaviours and patterns (the most obvious being the behaviour repeats and continues) just like for as long as we choose to hold the box. Once we become aware of how holding our body in that way feels (image that we were not aware that we are carrying a large box) and let go – all those years of holding on mean nothing.
I have loved living in our home and family life what I have learnt through Universal Medicine and the inspiration of Serge Benhayon and his family. We have had all sorts of adventures … good, bad, and a little ugly at times, but we have learnt so much about each other along the way. I am inspired by my children every day and I know that it would have been very different had I not had that inspiration all those years ago.
Wow, and another wow, what can I say to this other than just deeply feel your words and sit with them. Absolutely beautiful and so honest, thank you.
I completly agree with you Mariette, Wow.
How beautiful for the children to receive a letter so pure, so clear with no imposing something in it.
But so much responsibility and offering truth as the way to go. Great job Janice.
Indeed Marietta & Sylvia, I feel humbled, blessed by the honesty and purity of a woman expressing to her kin.
Agreed Janice’s sharing is very inspiring. To feel we can let go of the past without any guilt or shame and just fully embrace the learning is truly divine.
Hi John O Connell here from Ireland thanks you Janice , it’s so great you have not allowed pride to prevent you expressing to your kids and family in the truth you have recovered that will be a service to all .
Yes well said John, it’s quite exquisite isn’t it to read about someones life, who has now chosen differently and to accept and share so tenderly and openly that the previous way of living was flawed and not true and came with such loading. To accept responsibility that you brought it (without giving yourself a hard time) and are now choosing differently. So simple, so loving and so profound.
Change is very easy when you are willing to be honest. Such was the ease in Janice’s beautiful sharing.
Yes Sarah it is exquisite. I also love what John has said about not letting pride get in the way of that conversation. Grace is a wonderful thing to have in the parenting toolbox.
I agree John, putting ‘pride’ aside can be a big call and it is immensely liberating to free ourselves by being honest to the core and then being able to express it. Janice has done this and the ripples of her love will be felt widely.
This is a great point you make here John about pride as it is our pride about having got things wrong, been fooled and having made a mistake that can stop us from letting go and admitting destructive behaviours and being honest about the way that we may have harmed others.
This is a letter to us all, Janice. Thank you so much for writing it and sharing it.
its true Naren, we could all be writing this letter to all of us.
So true Naren and Joel.
Agreed Joel and Naren, and writing this letter could also include writing this letter to ourselves…
Naren, Joel, when I read this I felt it was a letter for everyone I had ever known, everyone who may have been influenced by me before I accepted soul as my mentor and guide
Yes Catherine it is indeed a letter for everyone, and as you say so beautifully ‘everyone who may have been influenced by me before I accepted soul as my mentor and guide’.
Naren yes, I felt like I was receiving this letter from my mother and as a mother I could also have written it . Janice has expressed exactly the same past that I totally related to and no longer live. Beautiful to read and feel from a true mother/mum.
Yes, Merrilee “Beautiful to read and feel from a true mother/mum.”
I agree Naren, this letter is not just to Janice’s children, it is to humanity. Just gorgeous.
Janice’s letter is a healing for humanity.
Beautifully put Naren it is indeed a letter to us all as it encapsulates the choice we all have to reclaim the truth and fullness of who we are.
Agree Naren. A beautiful sharing that could be to all of us. It touched me deeply and it was lovely to feel how Janice is not beating herself up about her previous choices, but stepping forward with the new ones she is now making.
Yes that’s what stood out for me also Debra, that Janice does not judge herself for what she chose in the past but openly renounces it taking responsibility for her own choices at the same time offering understanding for her children and a reflection of love and a new living way.
Well said and that is what I got as well, not beating herself up but making a choice to move on, then it doesn’t add any self pity to the equation.
I agree, Debra, and that stood out for me. It’s not about giving ourselves a hard time for our past choices, as we always have a choice to step towards self love and thus, love for others.
It is a letter to us all Naren, but it is also a letter to our children. I have done the same as Janice. And I am still renouncing my old ways of mothering and exploring the true ones.
I too, am renouncing my old ways of mothering and looking to the light within each of three beautiful (now adult) children and releasing them fully to expand. It is time to fully trust God’s Plan which I know is inclusive of us all.
I couldn’t agree more Naren – this letter is a tribute to everyone and the grandness of who we truly are, equally so.
Thank you Janice. Yes I agree Naren, it is deeply healing to read.
I agree Naren, thank you for sharing Janice, now we all just have to put those words into action!
Very much so Naren, this letter is for everyone which shows — when we open up our hearts in full and express love it can never be personal or exclusive. When we express love in full it’s for all.
Wise words Katerina — “when we open up our hearts in full and express love it can never be personal or exclusive. When we express love in full it’s for all.”
I love what you have shared here Katerina. Expressing from our truth opens up the gates for all. No one is excluded. When we live and express with love it is for all.
So true Narren, a reflection of how Janice has opened up to be in love with humanity.
It is true Naran, a healing for one is a healing for all. Janice’s love can be felt by all
I agree Naren, written to all of us and all relationships.
Thats true Naren , a letter of evolution to humanity.
