Calm while Feeling Discomfort
Going through life we occasionally experience an uncomfortable bodily condition. When we feel that, let’s employ the tool of scanning our dear being for discomfort in our state of mind also. Those taking responsibility for what shows up may have some mental habits to shift. In the past did we blame some outside influence for […]
Jill Bolte Taylor and Recovery
We love tales of heroism and miracles. The story of the neuroscientist, Jill Bolte Taylor, certainly inspires all of us. At age 37 this woman, an expert in the workings of the brain, experienced a stroke. With her background Jill understood in detail what was happening to her as she lived it.
Soothing Ourselves Now
Those of us following a path of self-mastery will experience fear and related emotions as we proceed. Recognizing only the power of Source Energy, we want to give no power to fear. We all grew up in a culture abundant with others feeling fear and we humans will need to practice continually in the honoring of the One Power.
Therefore, our growth involves noticing and recognizing old hurts and fear. Return to the One again and again, we know this is the process required, and we accept it. We do experience uncomfortable feelings, make them ok, and then we release them.
Healing from Within
We all have experienced some unwanted bodily condition. We all want to feel in harmony. Let’s remind ourselves we carry harmony now. We are Whole.
Overcoming Fear with Focus
The more we practice personal growth, the more we recognize when we are afraid. We are all ready to notice literal shaking in our boots. Over time we catch ourselves with our thoughts that arise from fear.
Thoughts laced with fear are misguiding us, our perceptions are distorted. Isn’t it great to practice more ways to overcome fear! We learn how we all have that power as we turn our attention toward what we DO WANT bit by bit.
What Recovery Looks Like
We all experience unwanted incidents, some more traumatic than others. We understand that these circumstances happen to most of us. As we keep going, we can exercise more awareness in our responses and more loving kindness for ourselves and all concerned.
Accepting Ourselves Bit by Bit
We might have someone direct criticism at us. It can happen. In how we react we can gain deeper awareness of ourselves. Then, however we react we can make that ok. We can see what habits of thought are operating in this moment and then shift as we have new insight.
Grow Our Power
We have been deeply trained to monitor ourselves for our transgressions; watch for our breaking rules, etc.
At a certain incident, we may notice ourselves flooded with uncomfortable feelings of fear, loathing, anger and more.
Belated Thank You Appreciated
We value one another more than it may seem on the surface. Below an illustration of how one woman received an opportunity to express gratitude for several kind acts done for her 10 years ago. All benefited.
Reboot Self Blame
We can choose to think as positively as we can. Yes, the process will involve noticing some upsets, negative thinking and all that. Best way to proceed is to notice ( it can feel overwhelming) and to keep going anyway.
