Thoughts are an important part of your
inner wisdom – and they are very
powerful.
A thought held long enough and
repeated often enough becomes a belief.
A belief then becomes your biology.

Heal Yourself
Heal Yourself
The deepest wounds we all carry are locked in our subconscious (out of our awareness). Deep memories and subtle impressions, from unfinished experience, rooted in the past. The pain from those wounds comes to revisit, to block and paralyze us in the moment called now. We all know it comes without warning – “Why am I feeling this way, I didn’t mean to do that, I don’t know what made me say that.” Healing does not mean finding and treating every single inner scar which send it message to haunt us. It means going even deeper, past those wounds, beyond those distant memories and recording of unfinished business, to the core of our self, to the heart of our spirit, where we find the light and warmth of our own core qualities of love and peace. They are eternally present within us they are what we need to heal all our inner wounds. That’s why this kind of deep healing is called spirituality and not therapy.

There Is No Such Thing As Failure
There is no such thing as failure.
There is only information.
If something doesn’t work out there is important information there.
Don’t put emotion into it.
Just detach from whatever the situation is.
Stop agonizing and create distance.
Do not berate yourself.
Don’t project or make it worse that what is.
If your mind is racing tell it to stop immediately.
Distance will allow you to see what the information is.
From there you can decide which way to go.

If we were standing in your physical shoes, that would be our dominant quest: Entertaining Yourself, pleasing Yourself, connecting with Yourself, being Yourself, enjoying Yourself, loving Yourself. Some say, “Well, Abraham you teach selfishness.” And we say, yes we do, yes we do, yes we do, because unless you are selfish enough to reach for that connection, you don’t have anything to give anyone, anyway. And when you are selfish enough to make that connection—you have an enormous gift that you give everywhere you are.
—Abraham

When Times Are Difficult
When times are difficult we tend to seek support from others around us. If they don’t give us the support we expect we get disappointed and sigh off as being UN-supportive.
Challenge your expectations. Does the person have the capacity to give you the support you need at this time? Is it reasonable to expect constant, full support? Can you redirect your support needs elsewhere?Is this an opportunity for you to become more self sufficient and self reliant?
When you become more self sufficient and self reliant , you may just find others around you offering more support.

May the light of your soul guide you.
May the light of your soul bless the work you do
with the secret love and warmth of your heart.
May you see in what you do the beauty of your
own soul.
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work.
May your work never weary you.
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment,
inspiration, and excitement.
May you be present in what you do.
May you never become lost in the bland absences.
May the day never burden.
May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your
new day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected.
May your soul calm, console and renew you.

Thoughful Thursday #49 Is it Love or Oxytocin?
Is it Love or Oxytocin?
Turns out there is love hormone called Oxytocin that can cause much confusion in deciding if you love someone.
For example, Oxytocin is released by simple body contact with a handshake or hug.
- You can think of someone in that warm and fuzzy way, Oxytocin is released.
- Oxytocin is released when a woman gives birth and Oxytocin helps in bonding with the child.
- Oxytocin is also released at orgasm in females. Males have it too.
- Oxytocin can be prescribed by a doctor and bought on the internet
Which seems to me to be a problem. The Oxytocin is released creating a bond with someone you are sleeping with who may not be worth bonding to.
Since this hormone elicits trust and a desire to maintain a relationship how do you know the relationship is worth it?
Do you get along well outside of an Oxytocin phase?
- If there is any violence in the relationship, it’s Oxytocin that you are addicted to not the person.
- The other person is unreliable but you still stick around, it’s Oxytocin.
- If you keep accepting unacceptable behavior, it’s the Oxytocin.
- If the relationship did not work out and you still miss that person, you are missing the Oxytocin not the person.
- Maybe you gained a lot of weight, it may be not enough Oxytocin (that explains a lot)
- Doing good works like helping the less fortunate releases Oxytocin (do good works and lose weight. Sounds like a win/win to me)
Here’s some good news, at anytime you can choose to share your Oxytocin with someone else. If it’s just the Oxytocin you want to share that’s fine.
But if you want a relationship too then pay attention to the other everyday stuff like trusting, reliability, openness, generosity, peacefulness, joy, happiness, companionship, then Oxytocin…
Get It?
