Thought for Today

“The only reason we don’t open our hearts and minds to other people is that they trigger confusion in us that we don’t feel brave enough or sane enough to deal with. To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes. ” ― Pema Chödrön

Thought for Today

“…feelings like disappointment, embarrassment, irritation, resentment, anger, jealousy, and fear, instead of being bad news, are actually very clear moments that teach us where it is that we’re holding back. They teach us to perk up and lean in when we feel we’d rather collapse and back away. They’re like messengers that show us, with terrifying clarity, exactly where we’re stuck. This very moment is the perfect teacher, and, lucky for us, it’s with us wherever we are.” ― Pema Chödrön

Our World

Hello dear friends!

Today I want to talk about different models of the world…..

Have you ever had a debate or argument with someone and, at some point, you failed to understand what they are getting at or where they are coming from? Sometime later you may even carry on with the argument in your head that goes something like this: “I should have said that, then they would have said this and then I would have replied like this”? Have you ever done this? I know have, until I learned better. You would be totally wrong in presuming to know how they would have responded, because the argument in your head is based on your model of the world and not theirs!

The voice in your head comes from your subconscious mind. It is based on your past history and the values you learned from your parents and all those around you. Your perception of an event or situation is distorted because it is based your model of the world. The thing to remember is that it is always so much more than that…..! The next time you catch yourself placing judgment or criticising someone else, look at it through new and different eyes, taking into account what their model of the world may be. Clear up any misunderstanding by asking what they actually mean. You will see the world in a whole new light!

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Until next time……..

Love, light and hugs,

Believe in Your Ideas

Hello to all my friends……

I experienced a bit of self doubt in some of my ideas and beliefs this morning. Whenever this happens, I ask for guidance and consult my “Daily Guidance from Your Angels” by Doreen Virtue and they ALWAYS come through for me! This was their reply……

“Many of your ideas are answers to your prayers. When you pray for Divine assistance, we angels often answer by whispering suggestions into your ear for you to hear as thoughts, feelings, visions, or actual words. For instance, if you pray for financial help, we might send you an insight that could increase your income.

As with other gifts that you receive, our messages are to be opened, used and enjoyed. Never doubt your capacity to breathe life into a concept. You’re God’s wise child and have the same capabilities as any other person.

Today we ask you to believe in your ideas. Begin by writing them down; then consult with us frequently, and we’ll help you develop a plan of action. The energy that you put into this process now brings great blessings in the future. Nurture your idea and it will care for you after it’s developed.”

I feel so much better now, my faith and belief in myself are restored and I’m back on track…..!

Thank you Doreen Virtue for putting these messages to paper and thank you Kathy for giving me this book.

Until next time…..

With huge amounts of love, light and hugs,

Doris

Healing

Hello dear friends……

Wishing you all a wonderful, prosperous New Year filled with endless possibilities and abundance!

Today I want to talk about healing…….

My husband was diagnosed with cancer in his bladder about 18 months ago. The urologist removed the malignant growth and was very confident that he got it all. Subsequent tests were initially clear but then the cancer came back in a different place, twice!! I believe the cancer keeps manifesting itself because of a past event or events that he hasn’t dealt with on an emotional level, and until he does, this disease will keep returning. If he can believe and trust the power of his Unconscious Mind, he will heal and this horrible dis-ease will never return! I am currently working with him on this…..

Your body can and does heal itself! When you cut yourself or graze your knee, what happens? Your mind sends a message to that part of your body through your neurological system and it immediately starts the process of healing. Now, when a significant emotional event happens in your life and you attach a meaning to it that doesn’t serve you, it causes a blockage somewhere in your body and the healing message doesn’t get through. The message is diverted and ends up in another part of your body and creates confusion, causing dis-ease.

Let me explain myself…….

When a past significant, emotional event happens, you attach a meaning to it according to your beliefs and value system at the time. Remember, an event has no meaning until YOU give it meaning. Because one of the prime directives of the Unconscious Mind is to preserve the body, it files it away until it feels you are ready to deal with it. Very often you think you have, but in reality you haven’t! This is why sometimes, things that have happened in the past, pop into you head every now and again and you just push it aside. Has this ever happened to you? This is because your inner filing system is getting full of unresolved, negative emotions, and your Unconscious Mind wants you to deal with it so that it can finally shred it!! This can only happen once you look at it differently, and get a positive learning from it (change the way you look at things, and the things you look at change). Only then can you move on….

For many ill people, the perfect, happy ending is elusive. I believe it’s because their faith and their belief in the power of their mind isn’t strong enough. The negative thoughts and doubts (no matter how small) that they have going on inside their heads are determining their outcome. You will often hear people say “it’s mind over matter”, this is a profound statement and to be taken seriously! It is human nature to hope for the quick reversal, the sudden recovery, but the path might be full of twists and turns and longer than expected. There may be lessons to be learned along the way, you just have to keep at it!

When it comes to transcending deep-seated problems, one of the most important keys is the willingness to change your most entrenched habits and beliefs – your un-serving behaviours, your unhappy job, your impossible schedule etc. You must let go of anything that is holding you back. The experience of stepping out of your comfort zone is almost always scary, but absolutely necessary if you are to heal and grow, and the rewards are limitless!

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Until next time…..

Love, light and hugs,

Doris
