3 Clearing Blocks to Receiving Introduction We are here. This sweet gentle voice filled my mind and fed my soul through deep, racking sobs of gratitude as tears streamed down my checks. A year of poor health had left me in dire financial condition and unable to think or do much to help myself. We have never left you for a moment the voice continued on, healing some deep pain of abandonment from God knows what or when. After patiently listening to me complain about my hopeless situation, my dear friend Dr. Barbara Rose tenderly suggested, Have you asked your angels for help? This direct question abruptly stopped my harangue and I realized, no I haven t. That was part of the problem! The way I had been connecting with God had dried up during the illness. I was left feeling alone and destitute both spiritually and materially. Barbara described how she writes her questions in prayer and then opens to receive a written answer straight from God. Simple, elegant, effective. I was on it in a heartbeat. As soon as we ended our phone conversation, I got a paper and pen and wrote: Dearest angels ~ Please forgive me for turning away from you Thank you for calling me back to you again. I feel like I have been away from you for so long! My soul cries for your tender embrace and your loving whispers. Hold me. Love me. I am yours Kimberly The response was instantaneous. As soon as I signed my name, new words filled my mind and body with a potent energy of divine love saying: 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 3

4 Beloved Kimberly, Long, and patiently we wait for your invitation. We are here. We have never left you for a moment. While you were turned in other directions, we have been by your side, holding you, guiding you. I felt my body instantly heal during the first letter that contained much more. The light of love shown in my mind vanquishing foggy thinking and restoring clarity. A surge of energy flowed through my limp body bringing vitality and responsiveness. My heart and soul were nourished with enthusiasm. This was the beginning of a love affair that has produced miracles and magnificence beyond imagining. Each day I poured my prayers out onto the paper sharing my feelings, needs and desires. And immediately, without fail, felt the loving presence saying, We are here followed by the most extraordinary series of instructions. Day after day, the messages focused on RECEIVING. And so it was that over a period of about a year and a half, I learned how to receive. At one point, they even said, What part of RECEIVING don t you get? With each progressive message, I was shown where I was blocked to receiving and what to do to open. Then on March 28, 2008, I received and started using the Seraphim Magic Formula: TRUST OPEN RECEIVE LOVE GIVE The more I trusted and opened, the more love I received and had to give. People, resources, money, opportunities, information and love were drawn to me as the messages taught me, I am a money maker, everything I touch turns to gold. It was shocking how much God and the angels want to give to me. The love letters from the angels revealed visions far greater than I would ever imagine for myself. They told me: God is truly Miracles and Magnificence. It is our honor and pleasure to introduce you to another aspect of God An Aspect of Worthiness 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 4

5 It won t do to have you moping around any longer, feeling sorry for yourself and complaining Oh Poor me I don t have enough money, I don t have clothes. I can t pay my bills which you do every month! Oh poor me! Let Go! Get over it! Surrender to Wealth! This program, Clearing Blocks to Receiving, is your invitation to Get over it and surrender to wealth. This program is a direct result of my experiences and the wisdom I RECEIVED through these messages and the miracles that accompanied them. Everything suggested on the following pages has been tested in the blast furnace of my own life, producing magnificent results. I pray that you benefit as much and even more than I have from this information about clearing blocks and opening to receive the wealth that your soul, angels and spirit want to pour into you. With love, Kimberly 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 5

6 Two Keys to Receiving Awareness is the first key to receiving. What do you want to receive? What does God or Spirit want to give you? These two questions lead to the awareness that opens the flow of miracles and magnificence. What do you want? Let s say you have a desire for financial abundance. Then life seems to fall apart. Everything that can go wrong, does. You feel blocked. What just happened? Awareness just happened. The desire to manifest something different stretched you outside of your comfort zone, exposing the parts of life that are out of alignment with that desire. Desire is the second key. Your desire provides the energy that fuels manifestation. Think of awareness as the steering wheel and desire as the gas pedal. Here are a few more powerful questions that will help you to focus with awareness on what you truly desire: Is what you want to manifest in alignment with your deepest soul desires? Is it worth your time, energy and resources? Will it be a blessing to you and to others? As awareness dawns, there is often a great internal tug of war over the source of desires. Is this desire coming from the ego or the soul? I spun around stuck for years in this question, unable to take action and move forward, captured by confusion and worry. Some of us are blessed with huge missions and visions that can be overwhelming. I ve also spun around for years in unworthiness, unable to receive the gifts that are coming to me. Judgmental that the powerful desires are coming from an inflated ego and fearful of who I would have to become to actually manifest them. Christine Kloser, my Mastermind group mate, was a valuable role model for me. She was able to cling to her faith and vision as she produced her first The Freedom Formula Experience, a potent, spirit filled business conference. Marianne Williamson, Neale Donald Walsch, James Twyman and David Neagle shared the platform with her. This experience was life changing for me as David Neagle cleared up years of self doubt by sharing this simple statement: No desire is felt until the supply is ready to appear Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 6

7 Raymond Holliwell uttered these powerful words in his book, Working with The Law. Armed with this fact, I was able to claim my desires, step into my soul s calling and launch TheAngelMinistry.com. Understanding Blocks The conscious mind is only aware of a very small part of your whole being. The process of awakening or evolving is about gaining greater awareness of the unconscious forces that are in control. This is where blocks come in. While they feel bad and we try to avoid them at all cost, blocks are serving an important purpose. Blocks reveal how and where the unconscious is in control. The three major causes of blocks are issues, beliefs, and concepts. Anytime you experience a block, at least one of these three has captured you. Once you leave your comfort zone of sameness with new goals and new desires, the most interesting thing happens. Whatever is blocking you from achieving these goals and desires rises to the surface from that unconscious part that is ready to be healed. These blocks are calling for your awareness so you can recognize and release them. With a little experience, you see that everything that goes wrong and everything you don t like about your life, is trying to bring to your attention to what is ready to be healed. Your blocks are being brought into the spotlight by desire so that you can move beyond them. Here is the good news: Awareness of a block is a sign from your soul that this block is ready to clear and the underlying causes are asking to be healed. As you become aware of the block, your soul and your angels are simultaneously providing everything you need to heal and clear the related causes! This is the magnificence of a spirit guided life. Take a deep breath and deeply receive the truth in this statement! 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 7

8 It always feels bad when we run smack into a block. It takes some practice working through blocks to experience the freedom, love and joy that await you on the other side and to realize the importance of these statements. As many times as I ve worked through blocks, I still resist and hate the feeling. I ll crash around in a temper tantrum and then within a short time, I remember that the block is asking to be healed and that it contains everything needed to heal. When I become willing and aware, the healing begins instantly. The faster you can recognize what issues, beliefs, and concepts are, the faster you can gain awareness and come into powerful experiences of love and truth. Some blocks we come into embodiment with, choosing at the soul level to work through them this lifetime. Other blocks we gather as we go along. Becoming aware of a block is a sign that your soul is ready to clear the underlying causes and is ready for this to be healed. Issues Victim is my favorite issue. I use it as an example because I am so intimately acquainted with it. As a victim, I m not responsible for what happens to me. I rely on others to take care of me. I can defer to others to make decisions for me. When things go wrong, I can blame them. It s never my fault. This leaves me feeling helpless and powerless. Unworthiness is a favorite companion. Chronic illness, chronic financial problems, and chronic relationship issues are all symptoms of abdicating self responsibility and I had them all. The list of experiences of being victimized was endless. Looking back, each time I made one these whopping bad decisions, there was a faint voice way off in the background saying don t do it. But I couldn t stop myself from making really poor choices in life, the kind that take years to recover from. This is a core issue. Accepting radical self responsibility was the ticket to my freedom. I actively went after every part of my life that I had abdicated and claimed responsibility healing the deep underlying pain of helplessness and unworthiness. And it can t capture me anymore. Every now and then I feel it come up, but I m on to it. I pay attention, accept selfresponsibility, release old pain, and then I can make more conscious choices that support my soul purpose. Beliefs What do you believe about life? Our beliefs influence every part of life. Spiritual beliefs begin in early childhood as we mirror our parents. We absorb beliefs about relationships like, I never have enough and Every time I get a little ahead financially, something goes 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 8

9 wrong. If you believe that every time you get a little bit ahead financially, something will go wrong, sure enough, the car will break down, the dog needs to go to the vet, you will get sick and can t work, the water heater will break and flood your house, the roof will leak, something will happen. Like issues, beliefs attract reinforcing experiences. Someone with this belief will experience a string of catastrophes supporting the belief. As we become aware of the belief, we become aware of the experiences that supported that belief. With greater awareness, we can choose not to engage them and stop attracting those experiences. Listen to your thoughts and observe your life to tune in to your beliefs and what they are attracting. When something is happening in your life that you don t like, take a deep breath and take a step away from it. Try to stop reacting emotionally and just look at it asking, Where is this coming from? What is it trying to show me? Concepts Concepts are how our mind interprets our issues, beliefs and life experiences. The main job of the mind is to make up concepts about everything. That s what it does. The mind interprets life through the concepts it makes up. One of my pet concepts was, When I m enlightened, I ll feel good all the time. I won t ever feel angry or fearful. Not true. Although the feelings of being angry and fearful and bad change dramatically, we re human. As long as we re human in a human body, we re going to have the full range of emotions and in fact, we want to have the full range of emotions. But this was one of my concepts because I felt victimized by angel and fear. At the time of that concept, I hadn t yet realized that anger and fear can be beneficial. They provide the energy we need to break free from the issues, beliefs and concepts. Now anger and fear are my good friends. We are remarkably ignorant of our underlying beliefs and concepts, and their controlling influence on life. They rise to the surface as we gain awareness asking to be discovered and released. As we can move out of our lower thinking capacities and into our divine intelligence, we can become more aware of these concepts and learn how to think from a different part of ourselves. Soul Rise At some point in our evolution, the soul begins to rise to the surface to direct life. I liken 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 9

10 the soul rise to a sun rise as the light of awareness breaks across the darkness of illusion. We become curious about spirituality, consciousness, manifestation, healing, right livelihood, and love. We want more from life. We want more satisfying love and relationships. We want fulfilling work where we can share more of ourselves. We want to give! As these desires bubble up to the surface, they expose the parts of life and behaviors that keep us locked in the prison of issues, concepts and beliefs. We become aware of abusive relationships. We feel miserable working at jobs that don t satisfy. We wake up to the conditions of life that are limiting, painful, and fear provoking. Our conscious mind is only a very small part of our whole being. Much of the law of attraction material available focuses on what you want with the conscious mind. I ve heard complaints from people who ve tried to attract what they want and it didn t work. That s because our conscious mind is only about 5% of our total awareness. It s that other 95% that is really governing what is happening in our lives. This is where our issues, concepts, and beliefs affect what happens to us. The good news is this as your soul rises to the surface, the game changes. The conscious and unconscious parts of your being start to work together. Once you become aware of a block, it s that other 95% signaling that you are ready to let it go and claim more of your conscious awareness. When the soul rise begins, everything that occurs in your life becomes important. This process is happening for you now you would not be interested in this material if it were not true. Your soul is rising to the surface and calling your attention to the issues, concepts, and beliefs that are ready to be healed. Once again, Awareness of a block is a sign from your soul that this block is ready to clear and the underlying causes are asking to be healed. As you become aware of the block, your soul and your angels are simultaneously providing everything you need to heal and clear the related causes! This is the magnificence of a spirit guided life. Take a breath and deeply receive the truth in this statement! 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 10

11 What can we do to clear blocks once we see them? How can we receive the everything needed to experience healing? As I ve gone through this process over and over in my own awakening, I ve identified 4 steps that work every time. The 4 Steps These 4 Steps contain essential spiritual practices that are common to most serious spiritual paths. Thus, anyone from any faith or cultural background can benefit from applying these 4 Steps: 1. Gain Self Awareness 2. Cherish Change 3. Be Receptive 4. Take Action As you practice using the 4 Steps, you will notice a flow between doing your part and opening to receive help. Your part begins by identifying where you are blocked and what you want or desire. Step 1: Gain Self Awareness Gaining self awareness is truly an essential spiritual practice. If we aren t aware of what we are feeling, we can t understand why we respond to life the way we do. If we believe all of the things our minds tell us without question, we are lost in delusion. And if we are unaware of the deepest yearnings of our soul, we can t possibly make the choices that will lead to a fulfilling life. How do we gain self awareness? Through meditation and contemplation, we take the time to explore our feelings and desires. We honor our soul and raise its level of importance in our lives by devoting time to inner discovery. Angel of Depth from Angel Love Cards Start with this simple focusing exercise: Find Your Focus Meditation Close your eyes and take some slow, deep breaths. Gentle breathes, but deep Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 11

12 As you breathe, notice how are feeling. Tune in to what is happening inside your skin. How does your body feel? What are you thinking? Be with yourself. This may be uncomfortable for you. Tolerate discomfort and explore what is really happening. Don t censure or judge thoughts and feelings. Witness them with acceptance. Now ask yourself, What do you want or need? What is blocking you from having or receiving that? How is this connected to circumstances in your life? What issues are related to this block? What beliefs do you have that are related to this block? How are these beliefs influencing circumstances in your life and your reactions? What are your concepts related to this block? How are these concepts affecting your life and choices? Be honest. Choose an area of your life that is emotionally charged and that matters deeply to you. Focus on something that has consequences and needs of your attention. It could be about a conflict in a relationship, health issues, or financial concerns. You may need to make a decision about something. Are you facing changes in your family, career, housing or friends? Or is your soul crying out for a deeper connection of love with God? Once you know what you want and what is blocking you, write it down on The 4 Steps Guide on page 17. Step 2: Cherish Change The next step is to find the part of you that wants to change and is open to Ask For and Receive help. Angel of Change from The Angel of Change grabs your arm and leads you forward Angel Love Cards saying, Don t look back. Don t fixate on what you are losing or leaving behind. Turn your attention to where you are going and what you are gaining Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 12

13 Are you ready and willing to change? Can you feel the angel Change helping you? What have you done to give yourself the message that you are letting go of the past and changing? My friend Anita Pathik Law talks about going from Desire to Decision to Demonstration. First you have the desire. At some point you need to make decisions to support that desire. Once you made an important decision that will lead to change and manifestation, you need to demonstrate it to yourself and the world. For example, I had the desire to share more with you through webinars. I decided on topics and dates. Then I demonstrated I was serious about it by setting up special web pages and announcing the event through my Guiding Angels Newsletter, on Facebook, and a few other strategic locations. Clearing blocks is about changing. The blocks aren t new. They ve been there a long time. What are you doing to demonstrate to yourself and others that you are serious about changing? Prayer Ask for help changing through prayer, another Essential Spiritual Practice. Prayer is a powerful method of connecting directly with your soul, with God, and with your angels. God hears every prayer. The prayers that come from your soul s desire connect you directly with God s heart. The energy of your feelings opens your heart so you can feel God respond. Love is the primary feeling of God. If your heart is closed and you are unwilling to feel, God s personal presence cannot enter you with the love, healing and awareness you need. Angels of Prayer from Angel Blessings Cards Sincerity is also a feeling. No matter what condition you find yourself in, pray to God with honesty and sincerity. Ask your guardian angel to help you honestly expose your situation. Have a sincere desire to know the truth. Trust that God is hearing your prayer and stay open to receive God s response in whatever form it comes. Your desire makes it happen. Return to Step 1 and gain more self awareness by journaling about decisions you ve made and actions you ve taken to let go and change. Journal about your feelings, fears, discoveries, realizations around your desire and the blocks you are experiencing. Write about your prayers and the answers you are receiving in The 4 Steps Guide on page Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 13

14 Step 3: Be Receptive Listen within and be receptive to responses. When I say listen, I mean be attentive to everything: How do you feel? What are your thoughts? What are your deep desires? What is your body telling you? What is happening in your life? Notice how your prayers are being answered. Be alert for evidence that God and the angels are assisting you. It is easy to overlook the many tiny ways that prayers are answered. When you haven t noticed the results, you may become discouraged and stop trying. Don t let that happen! Here are some tips to recognizing answers to prayer. Recognizing Answers to Prayer Your guardian angel and God are infinitely creative in responding to prayer so be alert for these influences. Make an effort to notice the smallest changes. Focus on gratitude as you are finding a connection with your guardian angel. Yes, everyone has a guardian angel. Feeling an increased desire to connect with God is an answer to prayer. So is experiencing greater trust. Finding more clarity about what is blocking you and what you want is a direct response. Being able to feel the pain in your heart that you usually ignore is also a benefit of prayer. Guardian Angel from Angel Blessings Cards Did you feel more peace, gratitude, openness or love? Was there an increased sense of devotion? Did you receive a rush of energy and the strength to face your challenges? Do you experience a willingness and desire to change? Did you receive new information? Has something happened in your life to present a new opportunity? Did someone you know offer an answer to the question you were praying about? Were you guided to a new resource like a book, event or person who was able to help? God wants to give you so much more than you can ever imagine! Return to Step 1 to Gain Self Awareness by journaling about your realizations and discoveries in The 4 Steps Guide on page Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 14

15 Meditation Meditation is a form of inner listening and receptivity. The purpose of meditation is to go deep enough within to begin to attract God s attention. In deep meditation, you experience a connection with God, your angels, and your soul. Think of meditation as your endeavor to connect with the presence of God. There are many different ways to meditate. Some are intended to help you become calm and still your thoughts. Many of us have such strong emotions bottled up inside that sitting still and trying to be calm is impossible. When that is the case, more dynamic forms of meditation help you to move through disturbing thoughts and feelings so you can release them and open your heart. Once your heart is open, you can easily drop into the temple of your soul and God s presence. In this place you find deep states of calm that are surprisingly intense and a presence of love that is awesome. Here you find the qualities of your soul and the information about your purpose that will lead to a more fulfilling life and more satisfying relationships. Your guardian angel is your guide on these adventures within. As you open and receive healing, love and guidance from your soul, your angels, and from God, return to Step 1 and journal about your experiences and realizations. Taking the time to write increases your self awareness and draws your attention to the smaller gifts that might have passed unnoticed. Use The 4 Steps Guide on page 17. Step 4: Take Action As answers come, take action. The angel Action shows you the steps that move you through blocks and toward your desire. Actions get you unstuck. You may receive one little step at a time. Take that step, and then look for the next. It is easy to overlook the small help that comes to you so be alert for everything. What actions do you know you need to take to release what is blocking you? When I absolutely don t know what to do, I get one tiny step at a time. And sometimes those tiny little steps seem so insignificant that I don t recognize them. Angel of Action from Angel Love Cards One day I felt blocked so I went out for a prayer walk. That s one of the ways I break through blocks. I walk and pray. The movement helps blocks to release. I was in a 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 15

16 hotel and desperate to have some kind of break through because I didn t know what I needed to do next. So I was outside walking around the hotel on the side walk, begging and pleading with God in my silent prayer to show me what to do. When I first came out the door of the hotel, I saw a penny on the side walk. I stepped over it and started my walking prayer around the block. It was a crowded sidewalk with many people. When I got back around to the front of the hotel, the penny was still there! I stepped over it again and keep walking, praying, begging, and pleading. About the 5 th time I came around and this penny was still there, I thought My God! I m supposed to pick up this penny! So I stopped, bent down to pick up the penny, and just stood there on the side walk looking at this penny while all these people walked past thinking, My God, here the Lord is trying to show me all these tiny little steps that I actually need to take and I m considering them to be invaluable and insignificant, walking right past them! In that moment, I realized that I d already received the next step. It was this tiny, ridiculous thing that I disregarded as irrelevant. But I did it and that opened the flow then I knew what to do. Of course it s written on the penny, In God we Trust. Trust is important! What do you trust? There are lots of different parts of ourselves that communicate with us. Our mind tells us all kinds of nonsense that we believe. We have to learn to distinguish between the nonsense of our mind and the awareness of our souls. There is a deep soul knowing that is very different from the chatter of the mind. We can trust that deep soul knowing. Have you experienced the difference? It often comes with a feeling of profound love and peace. God provides everything needed to accomplish what is being asked of you. Information, connections, supplies and everything needed can come to a faithful heart. Be alert. When spirit wants you to have something, the gift can come in ways you are not expecting and arrives before you know you need it. Be eager to recognize and receive all the help that is coming to you and see what happens! 2009 Kimberly Marooney KimberlyMarooney.com 16
