Appreciating a Painful Episode

Occasionally, we might experience a symptom in the body that we don’t prefer. Some of us know that the conditions that show up mean something about our state of mind.

Those taking responsibility for what arises may want to shift some mental habits. In the past did we blame some outside influence for this kind of thing? There are those among us who might readily blame themselves for some inattention, mistake or failed affirmation in the face of unwanted aches, pains or the like.

When we understand how the laws of the universe operate, we can move past any blame. We can accept what we have attracted including any discomfort. What if we flowed with this experience? We can skip a dramatic story and heightened emotions, not angry, not remorseful, not panicky, not afraid. Can we pause and be still with what is presenting? We can stay present and flow with life.

A Story from Susan

Susan thinks to herself, “Oh look, this leg is swollen. I think this is more swollen and sorer than yesterday. Hmm. I will breathe into it.”

Susan recalls, “Under similar circumstances in the past, I did not recall in that first second what my protocols or remedies are. Breathe. I do know I don’t prefer this condition.”

Our star continues, “I want to get my mind on something I do want. Ok I admit I have had my mind on what I don’t want quite a bit for at least a month. I have been unhappy about this dating relationship.”

She gets back into present time and does the tasks she can in the day.

At one point this dear woman remembers, “Pain means that help is on the way. Wow.

My cells are all attuned to Well- Being and seeking help there. They want the harmony of the Good pouring down and around.

Layer in some distractions with tv reruns. Get a night’s sleep and enjoy.

Hunch about the Cause: Buried unwanted feelings seeking expression

Susan was letting herself know her deeper feelings as the episode unfolded.

She was driving and doing errands, stopped at a streetlight. She went to offer soothing words to her sore leg in that moment. Surprising herself, tears just burst forth. There she was at a traffic light. Wow she tapped into the deeper feelings and they were ready for expression. It lasted not even two minutes. Some relief though!

In her quiet time in the morning, she flowed from readings, to guided meditations, to some journaling, pulling a card. Which was it? Not sure.

It came to her to put on “5o ways to leave your lover” on youtube. So up she got to her feet, listened, sang a long and danced.

She took a yoga class. Some of the poses brought up some pain. It did not stay painful as she moved along from position to position. The class was designed to be relaxing on a deeper level. Sure enough, as she lay in the final pose, she found tears coming up. (Fortunately, she was online and was “muted”.) when she sat up to share at the end, she felt quite a good chunk better, calmer and no pain at that moment. She walked with more ease.

Take away points:

Pain? Be on notice to be extra kind to oneself
Making it ok to have a physical hurt is so much easier than being very upset and blaming with it.
Facing the deeper feelings behind a hurt may take some time and attention. Allow it to take as long as it takes. Accept this internal journey.
Make note of the lessons popping up from experience of the unwanted. Hey I know I want more of deeper connection, shared interests, shared fun….
Appreciating the richness of my life, the new awarenesses.

We can make falling down in the metaphorical mud easier and richer. Let’s go for it! Susan is glad she is learning how to experience, learn, feel and flow!

Magic of Attitude

Sometimes we feel helpless when so many differing, deeply felt opinions are prevalent. Have we heard others bemoaning how divisive is our current society?

Reading here, we become more empowered that we can reach for connectedness even in the face of significant diversity. Please review this account of how attitude melted what could divide folk.

Rosey created art. In the second half of 2021 R enjoyed hanging an exhibit as some venues were able to return to less guarded environment. One local friend, Kim, asked R to attend accompanying her for a private showing.

Both had so much fun! To Rosey’s delight Kim indicated that she was looking for a piece of art for her mantelpiece. K inquired “Did Rosey have more stock that might fit this bill?” R exclaimed, “Yes! I’d love you to visit to see what might work for your living room.”

The day of the studio viewing arrived and it was about an hour before the appointed time. K texted R: “I visit my mother often in a assisted living facility and in her section three residents have been tested positive for the flu. Have you had a flu shot? Will you feel safe with me in your place?”

R responded, “I feel very healthy and support myself with many immune boosting supplements, careful eating and many other health practices. I continue to welcome you.”

K went on,” Actually come to think of it, I won’t feel comfortable exposing myself to your household germs and bacteria. I need to stay healthy for both myself and my mother. Hmm…”

R suggested, “I have an idea. How about if I bring out the art onto the deck? We can meet outdoors. Will that work?”

K: “I carefully follow all the CDC protocols. But meeting outdoors sounds good. I will be over shortly.”

Soon Kim arrived. She popped out of the car and apologized for her concerns. In a moment she was arranged on the deck and Rosey brought out several pieces. “Wow,” Kim smiled broadly, “I love all of them. Are there some that are larger?” This hostess went in to grab several more paintings.

Yes, Kim liked a couple of those too. The guest took some photos to bring home to discuss with her husband.

Before long the possible client was happily on her way with a promise to get back in touch soon.

Rosey had a great time. When she first received the text with the concerns about contagion and illness, she saw the potential for division and a postponement. Resting in her good mood, the idea to suggest outside effortlessly came into her mind and then out into the phone.

There was a pause when it was offered—but not long. Kim agreed. Both parties chose to reach for the friendliness and enthusiasm for this exchange and Bim Bam Boom they attracted that.

Rose stayed in ease. Let’s notice that a focus on divisiveness could have come between the two women. Instead, they both kept their eye on a prize.

Too simple a point? We can exert powerful influence by putting focus on what we want: generosity, acceptance and fun. Let’s live into this simplicity!

Acting in Love

We reach for a loving approach, sometimes stretching beyond “snits,” resentment, and anger. As we practice, we do this for its own sake, not because we expect some form of pay off.

Sometimes it can sound like some proponents of law of attraction are teaching how to pull the strings of the universe to “get what you want.” No.

Instead, we want to head toward unconditional love for its own sake, and it does feel so good. That feeling good state is in alignment with the Forces of Good.

And then unexpected things can show up—and hey, we were happy anyway. 😊

How about an illustration?

Cornelia and Lindy enjoyed one another. In the last chunk of months they had been doing some lake trips together fairly often. As the season turned, they had fewer common interests and more life distractions. Cornelia planned to attend a holiday sale and invited Lindy to join her.

The timing of the two women had always been different from one another and this occasion was no exception. Early in the morning they texted and Lindy said yes to the invitation for early evening at the event.

Sometimes C sent reminders midafternoon to L but this time she did not. She thought to text when she arrived at her destination. “I am going inside now. Are you still planning to attend?”

Cornelia texted a few more times looking for some remark like “I’m fifteen minutes out” or “I am on my way” No word.

The dear woman soon was engrossed in the myriad choices of goodies, then paid for them. Went to look upstairs at a few more offerings. She checked her phone, put out another query. Nothing.

So she left and went on her way.

About an hour later C saw Lindy had texted her “I guess I missed you. You were not there. I figured you left already.”

C: I thought you would respond to confirm you were coming or once you were there.

L: I told you I was coming in the am. I did not say I would text.

Wow C reacted with annoyance and some hurt too. Grrrr.

The two tried to arrange a connect the next day and it did not work.

After that C decided she needed a break. When she reviewed their interaction around the sale she felt resentment again.

Our heroine pulled out the tips we often list in these posts: she put her mind on the many other matters in her life and built her momentum to feeling good. C started to review what she enjoyed in Lindy and also realized she had reacted strongly due to her own inner mood.

Meanwhile C did not have plans for the upcoming feast time. She accepted this fact and made plans for a lovely walk in nature that day. At the same time, she would prefer companionship.

About two weeks later, Cornelia reached out to Lindy. This time it was easy to set up a walk together midday.

On the path it became clear that dear Lindy had been in emotional and bodily pain for at least two weeks. C offered her soothing words, self-affirming thoughts, loving confirmations. L felt somewhat improved by the end of the walk.

Cornelia realized that L’s quick text on that day in the past was at a time with Lindy suffering and was completely understandable. Now it seems so easy to forgive.

The time together was satisfying, and our star was glad she had reached out. (Actually the words she offered soothed herself as well as her friend.) Cornelia left feeling better than when she had arrived.

Later that day, Lindy communicated. “Wow that was so helpful, the improvements in my level of pain are lasting. I have gotten permission to include you in the celebration I am attending. Would you like to come?”

Delighted, C responded “ So glad you feel better and Yes I would love to attend”

Hee haw! An extra good, unexpected outcome on top of what felt good already.

We uplift ourselves to enjoy our own state of consciousness. And in that space in sync with Well Being, we attract more of what we want.

Amazing Insight

We love stories that inspire us, tales of heroism and miracles. Over the years many of us have heard the story of the neuroscientist, who at age 37 was an expert in the workings of the brain when she experienced a stroke. She had a perspective few of us could have because she understood in detail what was happening to her as she lived it.

That dear one, Jill Bolte Taylor, recovered brilliantly and was able to write a book, My Stroke of Insight[1], and tell us a miraculous tale.

This person lost much major functioning—walking, talking, eating and much more—and was able over many years’ time to regain her health and to live a full, able-bodied life.

In the book our star tells us that early in the healing process her physician had predicted whatever she could not regain in six months would be gone forever. Ha! In living this amazing adventure Jill continued to reclaim function after more than 10 years from her brain event!

Toward the end of the book Ms. Taylor articulated some of her attitudes and methods which she discovered as part of this remarkable recovery. Of note, many of these formulations are extremely similar to the ways of living often recommended in this blog[2].

Appreciate and feel gratitude as much as possible through the day.
Applaud and underscore every positive step of progress.
Surround yourself with supportive individuals whose presence soothe and nourish you.
Get plenty of sleep.
Pay attention to your flow of energy, rest frequently and as you need it.
Relish your senses. Enjoy and feel into the sensuous details of being in your body.
Take charge of what thoughts you think and which emotions flow in your being.

Acknowledge that observing these suggestions will take practice. In her state of damaged brain our heroine felt acutely the effects of various forms of negative thinking. To heal, J realized she could choose what ran in her brain, and she steered toward uplifting thinking as a key strategy. Jill applied it both for recovery and then to increase enjoyment of life as a fully functioning being!

Walking for a moment on Taylor’s path we are inspired to pause and appreciate our sensual experiences with more depth and presence. These ways of being, healing and growing represented essential components to facilitate this miraculous recovery.

If these tools worked well for someone in such need, imagine how each of us can accelerate our growth when already experiencing aa state of relatively greater well-being.

Have stories of recovery you want to share? Want to experiment with these tools and report back? Please comment. We humans are so awesome in what we can do!

Persistence Pays Off

On occasion we all enjoy encouragement. We all can use cheering on, accepting our circumstances and our accomplishments so far. We persist and enjoy the path that unfolds.

In this piece we can soak up some soothing and inspiration. Those who keep going often prevail. YAY!

Persistence and Confidence

Hannah and a lovely companion walked a mountain trail in lovely weather. H wanted to capture a good picture of this dear friend. The other almost brushing her away, “Never mind, I take awful pictures.”

Our heroine ignored those negative predictions. Hannah clicked away, taking many shots. Admittedly, this subject felt self-conscious and often her prediction came true: unflattering photos. H felt determined and to herself, “I will keep at it.”

Hooray! At walk’s end our star came away with two excellent photos and two good ones. The persistence with positive attitude had paid off.

Inspiration from Noted Figures

I. Thomas Edison

Thomas Edison demonstrated the quintessential “stick to it” quality as he developed the light bulb. The story goes that this hero took 1000 experiments to create that device that sustains illumination. We can speculate on what he said to himself at experiment 750?

Picture him in his laboratory, having been at this endeavor already for a good chunk of time. Some of us might say, “This blankety-blank thing will never work. I quit!”

We know Edison did not throw in the towel. We suspect Edison might have said, “If I adjust this widget a bit like this, it would improve this feature…” He stayed excited and persisted. That man enjoyed his process, stayed fasinated with his project..

Time passed and Edison maintained his focus. One day one more adjustment and the bulb worked. He had a nervous system like you and me. He kept at it and he got pay off!

2. John Lennon

In the first decade of the twenty-first century Elsa attended an exhibit of John Lennon’s illustrations. The pieces were in white mats, some framed.

One mat stated, “My aunt always told me, ‘The guitar is very well, John, but you will never make a living at it.’ “

Isn’t it fun to picture the day John heard his mother’s sister speak that and simply chose to ignore her! He just kept doing what he loved. Imagine!

3. Examples of persistence: excerpts from the “Consider This” page Chicken Soup for the Soul by Jack Canfield

– “Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly. Rather than a focus on improving his technique, B enjoyed creating his own compositions. His teacher called him hopeless as a composer.”[1]

– “The parents of the famous opera singer Enrico Caruso wanted him to be an engineer. His teacher said he had no voice at all and could not sing.”[2]

– “Henry Ford went broke five times before he finally succeeded.”[3]

– ” The sculptor Rodin’s father said, ‘I have an idiot for a son.’ Described as the worse pupil in the school, Rodin failed three times to secure admittance to the school of art. His uncle called him ineducable.”[4]

4 Take away for Readers

Allow these stories and ones like these inspire you.

Notice what words and actions promote a relaxed and upbeat feeling. Repeat those often..

Enjoy the journey, moment by moment. Daydream. Keep going.

Do you have tales of persistence? Please comment. Together we light up this wonderful world.

Recovery in Romance

Some of us have experienced “break ups” of a romantic relationship when it was not our idea. We were still flowing along. Our habits of thought may lead to thoughts with anger, self-blame, shock, and likely discomfort. Even when it can feel very intense, we can learn some ways to wield our personal power and begin to feel better.

Read how one woman did her best to feel what’s there and then move toward an improved emotional state and recovery.

Lovers in Gray, 9 x 12, with Texture, SOLD

Corine

Corine was told that the fellow she had been dating was taking a break. Yes, she had gotten some vibes of his unhappiness so this was not a total shock. She recognized disappointment in her being. Wanting some soothing she called a woman friend. After speaking gently and kindly for a couple of minutes, she was ready to let the friend return to her evening. Before clicking off this friend said, “It’s his loss.” Aw that did feel good.

At first Corine went upstairs and let herself read a novel for a bit. Hey that felt like good distraction.

When wanting to recover, always good to nap or sleep for the night, a move that offers rest and reboot. “Things seem brighter in the morning” represents an adage often true.

Reclaim Buoyancy

Corine did feel some improvement. Still she wanted to feel loved.

The Abraham teachings tell us that we are the ones who connect with Source Energy, and Source is what offers us the love we want. In fact, this is the only place to get it. Humans including romantic partners cannot always reliably deliver.

Our star went to her imagination and called up times she had felt loved. She loved basking in that feeling.

What continued to go well for her? What could she appreciate now? C got busy making some lists, spending a moment on each item to call up the feeling of that.

Wow this practice worked well for her and she flowed along keeping it up—what can she appreciate.

Along with that, this dear woman could layer that with some activity she enjoys: gardening, writing, a stroll in nature, listening to an audiobook laced with humor.

Our heroine was building momentum for a happy life now—with or without this person who chose to pull away.

Reaching for Next Steps

Corine invented a game she could play in her head. What characteristics of a next relationship or partner do I know I want? I want:

“A more connected feeling”

“To communicate more clarity on the “reach beyond lust” gestalt she wants to live.

“To cultivate my ability to put forth unconditional love for another and for herself”

This piece was inspired by meeting a woman who was still reviewing the pain of her break up that had occurred more than two years earlier. We do want to feel the emotions that flow through us, not to stuff them away unprocessed.

And yes, as we feel so moved, we can use our personal power to soothe ourselves and return to experiencing some good feelings again.

Have some recovery stories to share? Please comment and tell us about it! Happiness is an inside job and we are learning to do just that.

Compassion for Self in Dating

For those on the path of greater awareness and growth, we appreciate when we catch ourselves playing out a pattern which no longer serves us. Hold on a beat! We notice we don’t want to go where that thought pattern is going to take us. Then we can pivot and improve our results. YAY!

Here is an example that many readers can relate to:

Two friends, Lorna and Meredith, were both beginning to date after years of being single. After the encounter with “the man,” the women would huddle to share results and insights. Lorna had come home from a date and soon thereafter started saying to herself: “He is just not that into me”. “Hmm,” thought Meredith, “I am getting a different impression from what Lorna related. To me greater optimism is warranted. I tink good feeling is flowing on both sides.”

The next week Meredith had a date and soon after M heard in her head this comment: “I don’t think he liked me that much.” In the moment those words felt true to her! But wait! Isn’t that phrase familiar? Our star thought,” Duh! Oh dear. I suspect this exemplifies how we women run past hurts in our heads!”

Here’s what Meredith did next:

She appreciated that she had been awake to her internal dialogue. She wondered, “Is this a phenomenon of nutty girl thinking?” 😊
Our star M focused on enjoying her day-to-day life– so rich in wonderful things- clients for healing, painting, friends calling, gardening, walks in nature, etc.

On a roll now, the following morning M recalled when the man from the date first laid eyes on her. In that instant he looked very glad to see her, admiration in his gaze. Meredith got an idea: in the privacy of her mind, she could run a movie of his positive gaze as many times as she wanted. She thought, “Why not play that in my mind rather than doubts about his opinion? I can uplift myself! Inside I saw his big smile greeting me with an appreciative gaze.

Know what? Four days later he called. He wanted to thank me for a good time and would I like to go out with him again. The appreciative gaze was better guidance than the “Girl Nuts” programming of the past.

Take Always for Readers:

Do not believe everything you think!
Find the best feeling you can and groove with it.
If you find yourself thinking a disapproving thought, a thought you do not want, look for another preferable thought, image or feeling and review that in your mind, or
Dive into fun pursuits, roll with some cool thoughts or passionate project or other favored distraction, or
Appreciate yourself and your world– be specific (dare to be long-winded!) or
Do all of these!
Keep going!

Have a reaction to this small victory? Please share your comments or upbeat stories. We are changing the world as we uplift one another.

The Presentation

As we live actively aware, we are able to notice when habits of thought pop up and start running from inner program we would rather retire. Our attention can assist us—wait a minute—I don’t want to be envisioning problems—despite past experiences, etc. No, let’s shift as we can and go for what is wanted. Please read this illustration:

Joyce was thrilled to receive an invitation to present her way of living to a like minded spiritual group. Fortunately, at the point of being asked to speak the event was months away—plenty of time to prepare.

At the date came closer, her ideas flowed and so did some of her outdated habits of thought. Oh my, Joyce had some waking up to do getting ready— regarding the choice of videos and points to make, and also in making shifts in her inner environment.

After thinking about this for month, our star found herself quite uncomfortable—admittedly some nerves but wait—what was this—she realized she held a mental picture of a hostile reception. Unconsciously she was visualizing some folks hurling defensive and disagreeing comments her way.

In her gut, J knew she was picking up some element in this group … and she wanted to use the content of her material to greater advantage to herself.

To wit, instead of picturing WHAT SHE DID NOT WANT TO HAPPEN, J did have the option to imagine the participants enjoying her message and soaking it up. She wanted them to learn a bit of something new.

And Joyce chose to pivot. She felt enthusiastic about her message and envisioned the audience being interested and feeling better when listening to it.

When speech day, she did get some jitters. Since our heroine knows some ways to help herself, she grabbed her index finger and held onto it (Jin Shin Jyutsu Self Help. See https://streamofyes.com/jin-shin-jyutsu/. To her delight it worked well and quickly, in less than five minutes she felt the fear drain away.

This dear woman planned to have fun offering this thinking.

And she did.

During the talk, two women did throw some curve balls.

In the place of strength and happiness, in the gestalt of feeling quite good, Joyce handled those pitches harmoniously and with a smile on her face. The event went well—she received many accolades.

Joyce had enjoyed a grand illustration of Connection to Source Energy—the protection and the joy – while providing a service.

Do you have such an experience that you feel moved to share? Please comment with it! This helps build connection and unity!

Uplift Irritation and Choose Compassion

We can find ourselves so irritated at another. Maybe that annoying person feels upset or afraid herself and projects out at you. That person wants to start a fight. Is there a better way to respond? Yes there is. Read on.

Maura attended an exercise class with a woman named Noreen.

Noreen resented Maura for her skill level which was a bit higher. Noreen did not approve of some aspects of Maura’s lifestyle.

The “Mean” Act

Maura wanted to remain calm, contained and be as friendly as she could toward Noreen. At times though, Noreen would say hurtful things. One time Noreen whispered in Maura’s ear deliberately provocative words demeaning her character, a form of bullying behavior.

Try as she might to shield herself, inside Maura felt hurt.

Week after week N came to the class and M did too. How could M handle herself so that she did not attract unwanted from N? How could she wield her power in both self-protection and compassion?

M caught herself worrying about the next meeting. M felt her resentment, her own fear—she reviewed those. Wait a minute! What is wrong with this picture?

Time Out! Wait a minute! We know review of unwanted brings more of it!

Instead, Maura pivoted her thinking.

The Pivot

She began to imagine what delighted her—and what was going well. In other sectors of her flow, much in her life was popping with progress. New clients, opportunities to speak, and more.

For many weeks Maura successfully avoided N. If N came to class, they interacted in cordial demeanor.

In one class after many weeks Maura felt tired and depressed. N interacted and made some unkind gestures and references.

A class event was coming up and Maura wanted to enjoy it. Our star M took deliberate action: she practiced her good mood. She kept in her mind feelings and images that supported and cheered her. This woman recalled times she really enjoyed this class and how good her body felt. M amped up her loving connection.

The Event

The day of the event came. Driving to the meeting hall our heroine found herself at the wrong building. M could feel the habit to start bad mouthing the organizers and complaining. Whoa there! She caught herself and sat quietly a minute. No let’s shift that thinking.

Soon she was out of her car and just then Noreen pulled up and parked. M stopped on the sidewalk to wait and walk in with N. She chatted and made conversation.

In a few minutes while the organizers relayed last minute plans and instructions, N stood near M. With a start M glanced at N and saw N’s fear filled eyes. “Oh my, thought Maura, “Noreen’s terror is probably fueling her unkind comments.” When Maura processed this, she realized the “attack” had been nothing personal. For M it was easier to maintain her higher vibration when she saw the pain in N’s gaze.

In the day’s proceedings, M noticed and acted on opportunities for showing kindness and support to Noreen.

Maura experienced mostly ease during this class “game.” M enjoyed her part and kept her focus on sending light to her teammates and the viewing fans.

Isn’t it satisfying to view how one woman used her power inside, shifting her internal landscape? M uplifted herself and those around her. Instead of a conflict, both parties had fun!

What successes are you having using your power to change inside first to make a difference? Please comment and share them! We all love inspiration!

How Contrast Helps Us Awaken

As we pursue this path of becoming more aware of what we are feeling, we start to appreciate the enormous benefit of this process. Sure, we face spilt milk, fender benders, dips in the market and much more. Life feels so different when we use these incidents to increase our insight about ourselves and learn another bit about how to recover and feel good again. Part of my growing edge is that I change these habits of thinking, noticing when the thought starts and then pivot.

An Illustration

Della left the key in the ignition by accident overnight, and next morning her car had a dead battery. D felt the impulse to go into self-blame: time she skipped it.

Our star handled dealing with the car service, some rescheduling and then she kept going. Wow she felt like she walked through a door to a new world. What a change! It was so much easier and more pleasant to bag the self-castigation. The dear woman created a new and higher quality of living.

Highway Navigation

What if we treated every blip in our lives as we do those ridges on the edge of the highway? When driving if we veer toward the guard rail, those indentations in the asphalt create a sound, an indicator that the car is out of the lane. What if we treated this unwanted showing up as we do that noise? We shift our focus toward going straight again back in the lane. So often we review and discuss the “blip”. Let’s get our eyes back on how to move forward toward what we enjoy.

How revolutionary! In driving one would rarely concern oneself over a few seconds of hearing the whine of driving on the ridges. I recommend skipping the story about the problem and its ramifications, i.e. forfeiting mentally reviewing to assess cause, including passing over any assignment of blame to others or myself.

Let’s “Keep Our Eyes on the Prize” and not look back! Let’s feel into the boost of energy this provides us! Such a different life to let go of what drains us and pay attention to what we want to create, and to keep going.

We get to experience what is not preferred and get the payoff of more clarity on what we DO want. The unwanted launches the expansion of our world, “rocket fuel” toward where we are going. Then both wanted and unwanted are both ok. It’s a new lifestyle with significantly less stress and lots more enjoyment.

Please report on your experiments with noticing or skipping your review of “what happened that you did not like,” and then shifting. Comments encouraged! Great to go for more ease! I cheer you on!
