    Journey to the Heart of Forgiveness

    About this ebook

    Author and artist Mo Brady takes us along on her personal journey and shares the intimate details of her quest to heal her wounded spirit. The catalyst for her journey within is an emotional crisis involving grief from the passing of her younger sister-in-law from ovarian cancer. Through meditation and forgiveness, she connects to the deep reservoir of healing potential within each of us. Each gradual awakening prepares the way for a deeper transformation.

    Mo shares her experiences with energy therapies such as Reiki and CranialSacral and the emotional healing they facilitate. Access to past-life memories adds a new dimension and allows her the opportunity to forgive, and to be forgiven for, pain that is several lifetimes old. In the process, she reconnects to her strong inner core, where peace and joy reside.

    Mo shares her experiences in the hopes that it might inspire others to begin or continue their own healing journey.

    Mo Brady

    Mo Brady is an artist and Reiki master living in Phoenix, Arizona, with her two children, Lindsey and David.  After receiving her BFA at Arizona State University, Mo pursued clothing and textile design in New York City.  Learning papermaking from a studio in Soho, she began creating and selling sculptural handmade paper pieces in galleries in New York and Arizona.  Drawn back to the beauty and serenity of the southwest desert, she and her husband, Jim, moved back to Arizona in 1989.  Her artistic pursuits continued to evolve to include working with gemstone energy in jewelry.  After studying massage therapy and Reiki, she now combines her artistic pursuits with her desire to inspire and encourage others on their path of self-awareness. In March 2011, her husband, Jim, passed away from cancer.  Mo still feels his heartful presence and loving encouragement.

      Dedicated with love to

      My Dad, who taught me to be resilient

      in the face of challenge,

      My Mom, who taught me to be true

      to myself in all ways,

      My two children, Lindsey and David,

      who are my

      joy and inspiration,

      And

      My husband and best friend, Jim,

      Who passed away in March of 2011.

      He was a lifelong source of support

      And tenderness.

      Awakening the Divine Within

      In an open meadow warmed by the sun

      and embraced by a circle of swaying trees

      tender flowers bloom.

      As their roots reach deep and soak in

      nourishment from the Earth

      each new flower lifts its face to receive

      the warm loving light.

      Soft breezes carry the seeds from each bloom

      to new parts of the meadow where they

      nestle in the soil to gain strength

      for their own future Awakening.

      As each of us remembers how to reside

      deep within our divine essence

      allowing us to connect directly

      to the source of our Wisdom

      the meadow will be awash in flowers.

      Collectively,

      we are the sun,

      the trees,

      the meadow,

      the flowers,

      the soil and

      the breeze.

      Preface

      002_a_jr.jpg

      I wrote the poem Awakening the Divine Within many years ago to express my inner knowing about the vast healing potential within us. Each one of us is a spiritual being connected to the Loving Source and by going within ourselves can activate all the healing energy necessary to express our true potential. We have each chosen to be here on the planet at this particular moment of human evolution for a reason. By journeying within ourselves and connecting to the reservoir of wisdom that resides there we can heal whatever emotional wounds block the fulfillment of our life purpose. As we each begin to live directly from that deep heart space, our joy and peace will inspire others to heal themselves as well.

      Surrender

      The box of memories held secrets

      Wrapped in anger, shame and guilt,

      But once the lid was sprung

      And light allowed inside

      What emerged

      Was a precious treasure

      001_a_jr.jpg

      Glancing out the kitchen window to the backyard I caught sight of their little blond heads, playing some imaginary game with my own two small children, completely unaware of what the day would hold for them. My two little blond nephews had spent a lot of time at our house that year as their mom, Valerie, had been battling ovarian cancer. As I watched them contentedly at play, I grabbed a tissue to wipe away my own tears. Valerie had gone into the hospital three weeks earlier and the boys were expecting her to come home soon. A few hours later I received the call I had been dreading, that Valerie had passed away. Hiding my own grief I tried to act as normal as possible, so that my brother could deliver the news to his sons himself. Valerie was only 33, and I was consumed with sadness at the thought of her two small boys, ages 5 and 8, navigating life without her tender care.

      It had been an emotional roller coaster ride of a year, first with Valerie’s diagnosis, then through long months of grueling chemotherapy. The prognosis from blood work at the end of chemotherapy was bright. We celebrated with a big family party. A month later when they did a second look surgery to make sure things inside looked good they found the cancer had actually metastasized to her liver and there was nothing more they could do. Most of my energy that year had been devoted to supporting my brother and his family as they battled this illness together. When Valerie died it felt as if I fell
