Something To Think About - October 2003

Something To Think About - October 2003

We’ve all heard the words ~~ Love YourSELF ~~ in fact, so often, that they (the words) simply flow through our brains with no meaning or feeling.

Our current shift in consciousness urges us to “love” ourselves by:

a) Meditation/Reading

b) Time-To-Yourself

c) Massages/Bubble Baths

d) etc

These are all wonderful . . . and yet, when we return to the flow of life, we find ourselves “fighting” to keep the calm, compassionate, loving feelings we just experienced.

What if “loving yourSELF” meant to STOP FIGHTING what you’re feeling?

Could you LOVE

Your Anger ~~ Your Selfishness ~~ Your Perfectionism?

All of my life, I’ve been called a Perfectionist. For the longest time, I felt “guilty” when someone referred to me as such. Then, I realized the “perfectionist” part of me is what gives me the ability to achieve & create the reality I experience today.

As soon as I “loved” the Perfectionist part of myself ~~ SAW ITS VALUE ~~ I found myself being more kind to “me” . . . and (or course) others. Simultaneously, when I stopped resisting (feeling guilty/dis-owning) my Perfectionism, its positive qualities flowed into my life naturally.

Most of us perceive Compassion & Kindness as the “right” way to be . . . designating Selfishness as negative & “wrong”.

Of my four brothers, the 2nd to the youngest (in my mind) was very Selfish. I used to get extremely angry with him when I observed (what I perceived as) his Selfishness.

In my mind, I was better than him ~~ After all, I had the qualities of Compassion & Kindness honed to “Perfection”. I was so “perfect” at taking care of everybody, that I could have labeled myself a Saint or Martyr.

Of course, over time . . . and . . . great doses of exhaustion, frustration & anger ~~

“What about me?”

“Why do I feel “put-on-the-back-burner”?

“Am I of no value?”

~~ I learned to “love/soak-in-a-bubble-bath-of” mySELFish part. My brother’s innate ability to “love himself first” was a mirror for me to see the part of myself I ignored.

Could you love depression? What if it is the only way to guide you closer to your truth? Maybe, if there is no other excuse to STOP doing ~~ your entire being ~~ body, mind, emotions, spirit ~~ gives you the opportunity to “clean out the old and make way for the new”. Depression bring you to a STOP!!

Could you love indecision? When we vacillate back & forth, back & forth, back & forth ~~ we FINALLY make a decision out of sheer exhaustion. That “exhausted feeling” stays in our cell memory, helping us learn to “let go” more easily with future choices.

Could you love judgment? When we see (judge) what we do or don’t like in another, we are given the opportunity to SEE that same thing within ourself.

Could you love jealousy/envy? When we’re jealous or envious, we can view it as INSPIRATION ~~ a motivation to keep growing.

Could it be that we have mastered so well (what we perceive as) the “good parts” of ourselves that those good parts have become unhealthy? “To much of (even) a good thing…”

Could it be that completely ignoring & resisting (what we perceive as) the “bad parts” of ourselves is to deny the opportunity to have complete, whole, balanced health? “If you don’t use it, you loose it?”

We were given ALL emotions to EXPERIENCE ~~ When we “love/experience” only what we perceive as GOOD… and… “not love/deny-resist” what we perceive as BAD, we literally create dis-ease in ourSELVES.

FEEL & LOVE ALL EMOTIONS

(ALL parts of yourself)

Begin acknowledging & LOVING “all” of yourSELF, even your (perception of) “bad parts” ~~

a) Meditate-On/Read-Into your Anger ~~ It gives you a guide to YOUR boundaries.

b) Give Time-To-Yourself and be completely Lazy ~~ It gives you “time/space” to day-dream & create.

c) Massage/Soak-In your Pride ~~ It allows you to see your value – your “self” worth.

Be True To YourSELVES,

Suze

Upcoming Events ~~

~Big News!!! Quantum Healing Workshop with Gillian MacBeth-Louthan

“Healing across Time and Space”

We each exist in our own personal time-space continuum. The past present and future exists differently for each of us even if we wear the same set of circumstances. We change probabilities as well as memories with a thought. Energy, translated into feeling and emotions causes all experiences.

In this workshop you will learn how to surf the waves of time to heal the past, sculpt the future and redefine who you are in the now. We will also be working with several concepts/aspects of Futurescaping. Each time you think about the past or the future you change the event. You will learn techniques in this workshop that will help you heal body mind and spirit as well as past present and future.

Some topics that will be covered:

· Altering an event before it enters physical reality

· Healing the body by backing up in time and space

· Re-creating the Past

· Pre-Defining the future you

· Present moment alteration techniques

· Creating events in a more positive way

· Clearing negativity from thoughts
