Zie dat maar eens toe te passen op een verjaardag, waar van alles gebeurt, waar allerlei onderliggende conflicten in het geniep worden uitgevochten, en waar voor het oog iedereen aardig voor elkaar is.

Moeten we moeder op haar 87ste nu nog een gevaar op de weg laten zijn met haar autootje? En zo nee, hoe pakken we het zo aan, dat ze niet kwaad en diepbeledigd is? Hoe blijf je bij jezelf als je het gevoel hebt dat je ten diepste wordt gekwetst door je schoonzus die je totaal niet lijkt te begrijpen.

Afijn, straks maar weer eens een dvd'tje kijken van Louise Hay (You can heal yourself) en tot slot wat ademhalingsoefeningen van Fred van Beek doen. Je moet ten slotte wel wat doen om verlicht(er) te worden ;-)

What do you get if you sandwich Shazzie between Louise Hay and Crystal Andrus? A billion free gifts, including my new and exclusive to this Hay House promotion ebook called Ecstasists Anonymous. Can't get it any other way but here. Soz.

Repito, o Ponto do Poder está sempre no momento presente. Você nunca está empacado. Aqui é onde acontecem as mudanças, bem aqui e bem agora em nossas próprias mentes! Não importa há quanto tempo temos um padrão negativo, uma doença, um mau relacionamento, falta de dinheiro ou ódio voltado contra nós mesmos.

Podemos começar uma mudança hoje!

Seu problema não precisa mais ser verdade para você. Ele agora pode sumir no nada, de onde veio. E você pode fazer isso.

Seus pensamentos e crenças do passado criaram este momento e todos os momentos até chegarmos a este. O que você agora está escolhendo pensar acreditar e dizer criará o momento seguinte, depois o dia seguinte, o mês seguinte e o ano seguinte.

Sim, você, querido! Posso lhe dar os mais maravilhosos conselhos, resultado de anos de experiência. Todavia você pode escolher continuar a pensar os mesmos velhos pensamentos, pode se recusar a mudar e ficar com todos os seus problemas.

Você é o poder em seu mundo! Você tem tudo o que escolher pensar!

Neste instante começa o novo processo. Cada momento é um novo começo e este momento é um novo começo para você bem aqui e bem agora! Não é formidável saber isso. Este momento é o Ponto do Poder! Agora, neste instante, é onde se inicia a mudança!

Extraído do livro: Você Pode Curar sua Vida de Louise Hay.

Ich habe schon an anderer Stelle auf das lesenswerte Buch von Louise Hay Dankbarkeit erfüllt mein Leben verwiesen und möchte auch heute aus ihm zitieren, und zwar aus einem Beitrag von Michele Gold, der weltweit bekannten Fotografin, Tänzerin, Musikerin, Illustratorin und Schriftstellerin, bekannt vor allem durch ihren prächtigen Bildband Angel of the Sea: Sacred Dolphin Art of Atlantis. Ihre Arbeit, die u.a. basiert auf gemeinsamem Schwimmen mit Familien wilder Delphine, wurde weltweit in Filmen und Ausstellungen gewürdigt, sie schreibt:

Mein Vater erzählte mir eine wundervolle Geschichte von einem Mann, der seiner jungen Tochter ein einfaches Medaillon schenkte und ihr sagte, dass darinnen ein sehr wertvoller Diamant eingeschlossen sei. Wenn sie irgendwann einmal in Not sein sollte, könne sie das Medaillon aufbrechen, den Diamanten verkaufen und ihre Schwierigkei­ten überwinden.

Die Tochter wuchs zu einer Frau heran und kämpfte sich in schrecklichen Zeiten der Armut alleine durch, allein der Gedanke an den Diamanten, der sicher im Medaillon um ihren Hals ruhte, gab ihr genügend Mut, alles durchzustehen. Nach vielen Jahren schließlich war sie überaus erfolgreich und musste nicht mehr ums Überleben kämpfen. Unterdes war sie neugierig geworden und wollte unbedingt wissen, wieviel der Diamant tatsächlich wert war.

Die Frau brachte ihr Medaillon zu dem besten Juwelier in dem Ort, um den Diamanten schätzen zu lassen. Der Juwelier betrachtete das schlichte, angelaufene Medaillon geringschätzig, nahm einen Hammer und zerschlug es mit einem einzigen schnellen Schlag in viele Stücke, wobei ein kleiner glänzender Stein zum Vorschein kam. Der Juwelier hielt ihn ans Licht und sagte: »Aber meine Dame, das ist kein Diamant, sondern ein wertloses Stück gewöhnliches Glas!« Die Frau war von dieser Auskunft erschüttert. Sie lachte und weinte, und schließlich lachte sie noch mehr.

»Nein, mein Herr«, erwiderte sie, wobei sie sich die Tränen aus den Augen wischte, »das ist der wertvollste Diamant der Welt.«

Ihr Vater hatte ihr ein Juwel von unschätzbarem Wert gegeben. Ein Geschenk der Hoffnung und den Glauben daran, dass sie immer zurecht kommen würde. Dafür würde sie immer dankbar sein.

All dies macht auch deutlich, wie vernichtend und unangemessen ein Urteil sein kann. Der Juwelier sah nur das Glas und erkannte nicht den Juwel, den er in Händen hielt. Gott sei Dank ließ sich die Frau kaum beeinflussen.

Etwas wird wertvoll durch den Wert, den wir ihm geben. Das gilt für den Wert des Glaubens, für unseren Selbstwert, für das Göttliche, die Natur, unseren Partner, unsere Partnerin ...

Glaube versetzt Berge. Das Vertrauen ihres Vaters in ihre Fähigkeit zu glauben hatte die Frau durch ihr Leben und alle Schwierigkeiten hindurchgetragen.

Was kann ein Vater seinem Kind Wertvolleres mitgeben als Vertrauen in Glauben!

Auch in Lessings Ringparabel finden wir ja die Tatsache gestaltet, dass es nichts nützt, den wertvollsten Ring der Welt zu besitzen, sondern dass der Glaube an die Kraft des Ringes das eigentlich Wertvolle ist: der Glaube!

Nicht Besitz, sondern Glaube und Dankbarkeit machen glücklich! Gerade darauf wies ja auch jener andere Beitrag zum Thema Dankbarkeit hin.

Michele Gold schreibt weiter:

Ein wunderbarer Meditationslehrer lehrte mich, wie man sich auf ein Ziel ausrichtet. Dadurch vermittelt man dem Universum ein klares Zeichen seiner Lebensrichtung. Sie legen Ihren Kurs fest und setzen dann die Segel auf Ihrem Schiff, das zu einer heiligen Insel aufbricht, die durch den Dunst und die Entfernung nicht erkennbar ist, aber Ihre In­tuition weiß, dass es sie gibt. Sie können wohl von starken wirbelnden Winden abgelenkt werden, doch sobald sanfte Brisen einsetzen, nehmen Sie erneut Kurs auf. Immer wieder kann die Nacht hereinbrechen, doch tief im Innern haben Sie eine Karte, die Ihnen den Weg weist auf Ihrer mystischen Reise. Zu guter Letzt werden Sie Ihre Bestimmung er­reichen, wenn Sie auf Ihr Ziel ausgerichtet bleiben.

Dieses Ausgerichtetsein auf ein Ziel spiegelt sich in einem wunderbaren Sonett von Ricarda Huch, in dem sich die ganze Lebenserfahrung dieser Frau zu fokussieren scheint:

♥

Du warst in dieser götterlosen Zeit,

Wo trübe Träumer ohne Lichtgedanken

Wie leere Schiffe unterm Himmel schwanken,

Der Stern, der mich geführt hat und gefeit.

♥

Die Spur, die du gegangen zu betreten,

Dass ich nicht irrte, war mein hohes Ziel.

Von irdischen Geschäften, Drang und Spiel

Trug mich empor das Glück dich anzubeten.

♥

Wie nachts ein Segel steuernd heimatwärts

Der Leuchte zu die schweren Nebel spaltet

Und so gelenkt sich in den Hafen rettet,

♥

Ging ich getrost, den Blick an dich gekettet,

Die Hände gläubig auf der Brust gefaltet,

Durch Flut und Dunkel an dein strahlend Herz.

♥

Michele Gold schließt mit folgenden Worten:

Ich glaube, dass Dankbarkeit der Weg ist, wie wir zu uns selbst gelangen. Jeden Morgen und jeden Abend konzen­triere ich mich für einen Moment und bedanke mich für das Geschenk meines Lebens und für die Anwesenheit und die Liebe eines jeden darin. Ich bedanke mich für alles, was mir geschenkt wird und für alles, was ich lerne. Ich bedanke mich für alles, was ich erreichen möchte, so als ob ich es bereits erreicht hätte. Ich sage allen Schutzengeln und Devas der Natur Dank für die Heilung von geliebten Menschen und des Planeten. Ich bitte um Führung und suche in Träumen nach Antworten. Ich bedanke mich für meine gute Gesundheit und den Reichtum meiner Sinne. Ich bedanke mich für die große Schönheit und Herrlichkeit der Erde. Ich bedanke mich für das Geschenk der Kreativität und die Fähigkeit, meine Gefühle in Farben, Worten, Musik und Tanz auszudrücken. Ich bin dankbar für die Weisheit, die uns durch alte Geschichten, Bilder und die Natur gewährt wird. Ich bedanke mich für die zauberhaften Delphine, Vögel, Bäume und für alles Lebendige. Ich bedanke mich für die allgegenwärtige Fülle und den Reichtum. Und vor allem bedanke ich mich für die Güte.

Wenn mein Leben schmerzhaft und schwierig war, war ich sehr dankbar für viele freundliche Gesten. Jahrelang fühlte ich mich allein in meinem Kampf, und doch wusste mein Innerstes, dass ich immer einen Diamanten besaß. Ich hege tiefe Dankbarkeit für die unglaublichen Geschenke der Liebe und des Lebens.

Behandeln Sie sich immer wie ein unschätzbar kostbares Wesen, das es wert ist, geliebt zu werden.

Dankbarkeit ist eine heilige Stätte, die uns noch tiefer lieben lässt.

ω

Das alles lässt mich sagen, dass der Altar unseres inneren Heiligtums,  der Mittelpunkt unserer Seele, unseres inneren Tempels, aus dem geistigen Stoff der Dankbarkeit besteht.

Wis, Louise Hay, Man9-2008

On this morning, I am feeling very alive and very energized.

     My home page for the internet is Louise Hay’s Affirmation page, so everytime I go online I have a nice affirmation there waiting for me.  Today it was “I balance my life between work, rest and play. They all get equal time.”  Hmmmm.  How true is this statement in your life?  Do you balance work rest and play?  I realised (somewhat to my horror!) that play does not get equal time at all.

     In fact, playtime pretty much comes in only if I’ve ‘booked’ time to play – like my day at the beach last week, or Hamlet in Stratford tonight – or if I have time ‘left over’ to play after I’ve worked and rested!  The upshot is that playtime is getting about 20% of my time at most.  RUBBISH!  No more.  It’s time to bump playtime up the priority list!  I’ve got into bad habits lately, I’ve been busy and working quite a lot…and because I am good at self care, resting a lot too…but at the expense of playtime!  Shocking.

     And even worse, I know that I am better at this balance than most people I know.  Many of them are very unbalanced (in terms of work, rest and play, not mentally unbalanced!), and the big missing ingredient is playtime.  It’s heart-breaking to see, because playtime makes you come alive, playtime is fun, playtime is vital to you having a happy life – let’s face it, how much better do you feel when you’ve been on holiday?  And why?

     Because you’ve had uninterrupted playtime!  Holidays are all about recharging your batteries and devoting yourself to having some fun…and then we come home and forget to play for another 11 months and 2 weeks.  It’s foolish to neglect your fun muscles – if they get flabby you’ll get miserable.  I’m sure I don’t really need to extol the virtues of play – you know yourself that when you take part in activities that you enjoy, you feel better.

     So when was the last time you deliberately took part in an activity you enjoy and made a conscious choice to savour that playtime?  Why not start tonight?  Instead of sitting numbly in front of the idiot box, make an effort to do something playful and fun (if that’s tv for you, ok…but as long as you’re actively enjoying it, not just wobbed out in front of it!).  You see people, it’s time to take playtime seriously!

Something to play with

Part 1:  What is the balance of work, rest and play in your life?  60/30/10?  40/40/20?  Have a guess at the proportions – your best guess will be quite accurate!  What can you do TODAY to start restoring the balance (especially the playtime bit!)? 

Part 2:  What do you do to play?  Aim to get a list of 100 things (it might take time, but you can do it!).  Part 3:  Do something off that list DAILY.

     It seemed like an excellent idea – I’d drive to my friend’s house, and then she’d drive to the beach from there and we would spend the day at the beach.  We didn’t consider 3 things:  1.  Directions - how hard could it be to get from London to the coast?!  2.  It was the hottest day of the year (although given the rest of British Summer Time, we would never have guessed the weather would be so good!) and 3.  The world and his dog were also heading to the beach for the last weekend of the ‘summer’.

     The flat facts:  we ended up on the wrong motorway, heading 60 miles west of where we wanted to go and ended up getting to the beach at 5 in the afternoon (having set off before lunch!).  Feeling sorry for me yet?  Please don’t – it was a fabulous day…and what the flat facts don’t tell you is that we stopped for lunch in the lovely little town of Chichester, if we’d gone the ‘right’ way we’d have been stuck in traffic just as long, both of us have Irish ancestry so our pale irish skin would have burnt to a crisp had we got to the beach any earlier…and we had 3 lovely hours at the beach watching the sunset when it wasn’t crammed full with people.  Perfection.

     So why am I telling you this story?  Well, because both of us were supremely unconcerned about the plans going slightly awry…and that was what made it such a great day.  I could imagine another 100 cars in a similar position with its occupants getting stressed out, angry and fed up, and never looking for the silver lining in their particular cloud.  Think about it, how would you have reacted to discover that you were on the wrong motorway, heading away from where you wanted to go, and stuck in traffic on the hottest day of the year?

     Would you have been relaxed, easy-going, happy that things would work out perfectly in the end?  Or would you have been stressed, pissed off and busy complaining at top volume?  Ok, it made it easier that my friend is possibly the most easy going person alive (and has been since the womb apparently!), but my general attitude is that something good will happen…even if it’s not entirely what I expect! 

     How often have you made a situation worse by being arsey about things you have no control over?  Or got totally stressed about your plans going awry?  It may amaze you to hear that sometimes things don’t work out as you expect…or have you experienced that yourself once or twice??  And you may also have noticed that stress rarely adds fun, enjoyment…or even any help at all to a situation!  So let go of the reins a bit, and let life take you on a comedy detour…and enjoy it!

Something to play with

     This week make a real effort to enjoy it when your plans don’t work out the way you planned and go with the flow – who knows, this turn of events might be even better – it was for us!

I'm struck by what I heard myself say to my spouse yesterday, "There's someting in there that shouldn't be in there, that there's NO ROOM for, that HAS to come out."  I'm wondering if it might be...my thoughts, my words, my creativity.  Western medicine says it doesn't know what causes fibroids, though nearly half of all women in the U.S. have them.  Chinese medicine says stagnation causes them.  "Like a river that's running too slowly," my acupuncturist said, "that slows way down and then stops moving."  That's about what's going on inside my abdomen.  I know it.

Dr. Christiane Northrup, too, talks about stagnation.  In a section called "The Wisdom of Your Fibroids" from her book The Wisdom of Menopause, she writes that "the baseline energetic patterns that result in fibroids are related to blockage and stagnation of the energy of the second emotional center.  Women are at risk for fibroids (or other pelvic problems) when we direct our energy into dead-end relationships that we have outgrown."  Ain't that the truth; I'm in a relationship with my so-called career that I outgrew a long time ago but haven't left yet.  And when my diseased ovary made itself known 12 years ago, I was keeping myself in a job--helping other women find fulfillment--that I'd outgrown long before.

I checked Louise Hay way back then for a metaphysical understanding of what was happening.  Her Heal Your Body book lists ovaries as "points of creation."  I was about to lose one.  And in Louise's and my philosophy, it was my doing.

I could make sense of it, in a non-intellectual way, by realizing I'd sacrificed an ovary.  To seven years of helping needy women.  Instead of breathing life into my own creativity.  Pursuing my dreams.  I'd sacrificed an ovary.

It was stark.  One ovary is half of what you've got.  But there was still time.  I'd gotten the message.  And I'd have to stop doing it; stop strangling the source of creation inside me; stop directing my precious energy and creativity away from myself.

Yet here I am, 12 years later, having grown another blockage that's choking off essential functions near my female parts.  And in a bad relationship with my career that I haven't broken off.  What gives?

Disease does not happen suddenly but as the result of continuously going against the laws of nature, says a Hippocrates quote in my acupuncturist's office.  Continuously going against the laws of nature.  I've done that again.  Haven't put myself, my creativity, my fulfillment first.  It's just gotta be time for me to do that this time.

Ek het haar boek op 'n uitverkoping raakgeloop voordat ek sulke "selfhelp" boeke begin lees het.  Ek geniet dit deesdae om selfhelp en "spirituele" boeke te lees, maar ek neem die meeste daarvan, en veral die meer metafisiese daarin, nie te ernstig op nie, en betrag dit met 'n soort van nuuskierigheid.   Maar hierdie tipe boeke is gewoonlik baie positief en opbouend, al lees 'n mens dit net.  Omdat ek ervaar dat dit nie 'n negatiewe gevolg het vir myself of enige iets of iemand rondom my nie, en dit my nie keer om nog te ondersoek en wetenskaplik te dink nie, het ek al 'n paar goedjies begin "toets" in my persoonlike lewe, ook maar so half ligtelik en skepties, maar soms met verrassende gevolge.  Louise Hay se boek het beslis 'n verdieping en vrede in my gemoed gebring.

Nou hoe kom ek by die titel "bewussyn" uit?  Hierdie week is ek te moeg in die aande om 'n meer akademiese inskrywing aan te pak, en toe hierdie in my skoot beland, was ek maar te bly, want ek is tog lus om te skryf.  'n Interessante inskrywing oor bewussyn op Johan Swarts se blog en die daaropvolgende intelligente en lewendige kommentare daarop het my gisteraand geboei.  Ek koppel liewers nie hierdie inskrywing oor bewussyn daar na hom toe nie, want ek dink hy sal nie so 'n oordaad strooi van liefde daar by hom waardeer nie. ;) 

Die boek, Meditatons to Heal Your Life, bestaan uit amper so iets soos "dagstukkies" met 'n gedagte per bladsy.  Die inleiding sluit onder andere die volgende in: "Begin reading anywhere in this book.  Open it at will.  The message will be perfect for you at that moment. ..."  "Dit is net soos die mense wat die bybel oopslaan om 'n antwoord of leiding te kry." het ek gedink.  Ek het dit nog nooit probeer nie, en het daar en dan die boek ewekansig oopgeslaan.  Dit het oopgeval by "Planetary Healing".  Dit was teleurstellend.  Alhoewel ek probeer om darem nie die aarde te veel skade aan te doen nie, beskou ek myself nie as besonder "groen" nie, en om eerlik te wees ek het ook nie baie erg aan die mensdom se welstand nie.  Hierna het ek baie stukkies so met tyd in die boek gelees.  Dit is besonder positief, en ek kan die verbetering van my gemoedstoestand nadat ek gelees het merkbaar voel.  Meestal voel al haar gedagtes net vir my reg en sinvol.  Maar telkens wanneer ek ewekansig probeer oopslaan het, het dit oopgeval by "Planetary Healing".  Op 'n stadium het ek  maar besluit die boek is seker daar fisies meer oopgevou, en dit is hoekom dit gebeur.  Maar een oggend het ek regtig iets spesiaal nodig gehad, en waarlik, die Louise Hay stukkie wat ek lees is toe net nommerpas.

In elk geval, ek lees gereeld in die boek.  Vanoggend slaan ek toe sommer weer vir interessantheid die boek oop, en waarop sou ek land? "Consciousness". :)  Dit is nie presies die bewussyn van Johan se inskrywing nie, en ek wil dit nie verder ontleed hoekom ek daar beland het nie.  Waarskynlik is daar 'n verduideliking daarvoor. :)  Die positiewe herhalings by die stuk is:
"My power comes through the use of my mind" en
"What I see in my world is a mirror of what I have in my mind".

Hier is 'n paar sinne uit die "Consciousness" stukkie, vrylik in Afrikaans vertaal (dit is moeilik om te vertaal, maar ek probeer):

"Ek is suiwer bewussyn.  Ek kan hierdie bewussyn gebruik op enige manier wat ek begeer.  Ek kan kies om bewus te wees van die "realm" van gebrek en beperkinge, of ek kan kies om bewus te wees van die "realm" van oneindige eenheid, harmonie en "wholeness". ... Ek is bewussyn.  Ek is energie.  Ek is veilig.  Ek hou aan om te leer en te groei en om my bewussyn te verander en my ervaring te verander.  Alles is goed."

Daar is ander stukkies wat baie meer beteken, maar ek het nou "bewussyn" oopgeslaan.  Ek verstaan tot vandag toe nie hoekom ek so moes vashaak by die "Planetary Healing" nie. :)

 Hier is 'n video van Louise Hay waarin sy gesels oor hoe jy jouself lief kan hê:

Wisdom Card for 09-13-2008

Today's card is my return to the deck after a couple of weeks of downtime. I spent most of last month scuffling through my business - enough so we were juggling cats financially this week.

Most people know that I heart heart heart Louise Hay, the mother of metaphysics. So when I found my old journal (filled with her affirmations) from late last year, I realized why.

(affirmations are positive statements about your life)

 I was in such a stale relationship at the time I wrote them. And it would take me another 4 months to end it.   I was hanging on for all the wrong reasons, familial being one and refusing to see the writing on the wall being two. I can't believe now looking back that I was trying to affirm our "situationship". I wasn't happy. I was at my all time fattest. And when I wasn't pretending that the said situation could work, I was trying to figure out a decent and permanent way out.

I discovered around the time I was fully ready to walk away, that you can't really and truly affirm what in your heart of hearts you know isn't right for you. I really feel like a great relationship should permeate all around you, in the decisions you make, in the work you do, in the way your body looks and feels, and even in your over all mental well-being. Self-love is equally important but romantic love should only enhance not detract from who you were truly meant to be.

Below are Louise Hay's affirmations taken from part of my journal entry last year. From a past poll a few of you questioned where Christianity fits in affirmations/thought consciousness/metaphysics. Well I believe with everything in my soul that God was a meta physician. I offer two very powerful scripture passages.

"As a man thinketh, So is he" Proverbs 23:7.

And

 "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit." Proverbs 18:21

I offer you Louise Hay's Affirmation for Love & Prosperity. Write them down. Say them out loud.

Love:

1. I have a wonderful partner and we are happy and at peace

2. I release any desperation and allow love to find me

3. I attract only healthy relationships

4. I am surrounded by love

5. I love an accept myself exactly as I am

6. I know that I deserve love and I accept it now

7. I am a loving, beautiful creative person and this is reflected in my relationships wtih others

8. Loving myself unconditionally brings healing and abundance of love into my life

Money

1. Whatever I focus on expands

2. The Universe is infinitely abundant

3. Propersity is mine

4. I deserve all the goodness life can bear

5. My prosperity can benefit others

6. I am in tune with the universe

7. I am willing to do the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical work

8. I am blessed beyond my wildest dreams

9. My income is constantly increasing (note: I don't think this is Louise's affirmation)

10. I do the work I love, I work for and with people I like, and I am making good money.

The great thing is that we can all change the way we think. Sometimes we get disheartened because we think our situation is out of our control but no matter what the scenario we all have control over the way think and feel. So this is the starting point, let’s change the way we think and feel to change our lives.

The first step is awareness - Becoming aware that you do have the abililty to change your thoughts to change your life.

Then it is to state what your desire is, i.e. what you want to achieve, whether it is to change something or to gain / create something new in your life.

You must then really feel that the new desires / intentions/ thoughts/ wishes that you have really can become a reality (some liken it to having a child like faith).

So what tools can you use to make this a reality?

A useful starting point is positive affirmations.

A positive affirmation is a statement said in the present tense about where you want yourself and / or your situation to be.

This can be said (and repeated) in the mirror, to yourself or written down.

Some examples of positive affirmations are:

• I am beautiful and I love myself just the way I am.
• I am in the process of becoming debt free

Whenever you feel anxiety or when negative thoughts come into your head just reach for a better feeling thought and affirm it to yourself.

It may feel awkward at first or even fake but as you continue to do it, it will make you feel better then your belief in what you are saying will power change in your life.

Wisdom Card for 08-27-08

I lately seem to be drawing cards that don't point me in a new direction as much as reaffirm one for me.

Louise L. Hay und Freunde: Dankbarkeit erfüllt mein Leben.

Nun, manch einen Beitrag finde ich ein bisschen gewollt auf Dankbarkeit gestylt, aber unter zahlreichen bemerkenswerten finde ich eine Geschichte einfach genial. Sie ist ihr zugesandt worden von Dr. Tom Costa, dem Gründer der »Religious Science Church of The Desert«, Kalifornien, seines Zeichens öffentlicher Redner und Buchautor („Life! You Wanna Make Something Out of It?”); er führt auch Seminare in den USA, Kanada und England durch - ob noch immer, weiß ich nicht :-); das Buch erschien erstmalig 1996.

Hier nun sein Beitrag zum Thema Dankbarkeit:

Meine dankbare Haltung hat sich die letzten sieben Jahrzehnte meines Lebens hin­durch entwickelt.

Meine tiefen Gefühle für das spirituelle Privileg, dankbar sein zu dürfen, wurden gleich zu Beginn meiner Arbeit als Pfarrer im Jahre 1974 auf die Probe gestellt. Ich beriet einen Mann, der völlig unglücklich war. Dieser Mann erfreute sich guter Gesundheit, spielte täglich Tennis, war finanziell erfolgreich und liebte seine Arbeit. Ich hatte gerade für ihn und seine neue hingebungsvolle Frau die Trauungsfeier abgehalten. Zu­dem hatte er auch aus seiner vorhergehenden Ehe eine liebe­volle Familie. Doch obwohl jeder Bereich seines Lebens - Gesundheit, Wohlstand, Liebe und Arbeit - erfüllt zu sein schien, war er immer noch unglücklich.

Als neuer Pfarrer war ich ratlos. Wofür konnte ich hier beten? Wie konnte ich ihm helfen, sich aus dieser Depression zu befreien? Im Verlauf unserer Sitzungen kam zum Vorschein, dass es diesem Mann an Dankbarkeit fehlte. Er bedankte sich nie für seine Gesundheit, für seinen Wohl­stand, für seine Kinder, für sein Haus oder für das Leben selbst. Er nahm alles für selbstverständlich. Das inspirierte mich dazu, mehr über diese nebelhafte, aber wichtige Essenz unseres Lebens herauszufinden: Dankbarkeit.

Ich erinnere mich noch genau, wie ich vor Jahren die sogenannte Fünfte Stufe des zwölfstufigen Programms der An­onymen Alkoholiker durchführte. Bei der Fünften Stufe hört sich jemand, etwa ein Geistlicher, den Lebensbericht des Al­koholikers bis zu der Zeit an, als er sich seinen Alkoholismus eingestand. Eine junge Dame bemerkte mir gegenüber: »Man kann nicht zugleich dankbar und unglücklich sein.«

Ich war zu der Zeit wahrscheinlich 40 Jahre älter als sie, aber ich war spirituell überwältigt. Ich hatte diesen »Einzeiler« noch nie gehört, und er klang überzeugend! Seitdem habe ich diesen Gedanken in meinem geistlichen Amt allenthalben verwendet - im Unterricht, in Seminaren und in meinem Pri­vatleben. Man kann nicht zugleich dankbar und unglücklich sein. Beides zugleich ist tatsächlich gefühlsmäßig unmöglich.

Während ich über diesen Satz nachdachte, fiel mir meine katholische Erziehung und der Rosenkranz ein. Ich persön­lich habe jetzt das, was ich einen geistigen Rosenkranz der Dankbarkeit nenne. Ich zähle die »Perlen« oft morgens bei meinen Meditationen und Gebeten. Dann führe ich meine Segnungen an, und nicht die anderer.

Diese Zeit der Dankbarkeit in meinem Leben erscheint nicht nur am vierten Donnerstag des Novembers. Eine solche Zeit des Dankens lege ich jeden Tag ein. Ich habe so viele Perlen zu zählen ... Perlen, die für Menschen stehen, die mir gehol­fen haben. Oder Perlen, die für Menschen stehen, die mir nicht geholfen haben (denn das hat mich in jedem Bereich meines Lebens stärker gemacht). Da gibt es Perlen, die für nahe, enge Freunde stehen, für meine Familie. Perlen für meine Gesundheit, meinen Körper, meine Sinnesorgane und für mein Zuhause, das ich genieße und liebe. Ich danke mei­nen Haustieren, die mich täglich bedingungslose Liebe leh­ren. Ich danke für die Fähigkeit, meine Gedanken, meine Auffassungen und meinen Weg wählen zu können.

Nehmen Sie sich jeden Tag einen Moment Zeit, um sich dankbar zu zeigen für alles, was Sie sind und für alles, was Sie nicht sind. Seien Sie dankbar für alles, was Sie haben und für alles, was Sie nicht haben.

DENKEN SIE DARAN: MAN KANN NICHT DANK­BAR UND UNGLÜCKLICH ZUGLEICH SEIN!

Was für mich ausschlaggebend ist und noch wichtiger als der Kernsatz, den Tom Costa herausstellt:

Alles, was wir haben, ist sozusagen eine ZIP-Datei. Erst wenn wir sie entpacken, entfalten sich für uns die Gaben und Geschenke des Lebens.

Wir können so viel downloaden, wie wir wollen, wenn wir die Dinge nicht installieren und entpacken auf unserer inneren Festplatte, nützen sie nichts.

Dieses Entpacken, diese Entfaltung geschieht durch Dankbarkeit. Dieser Mann oben hatte alles, aber es war verpackt, es stand ihm in Wirklichkeit nicht zur Verfügung!

Dankbarkeit ist der Schlüssel zur Fülle des Lebens.

Ansonsten bleibt alles Staffage, Requisit, verpackt ...

Das Zauberwort für die Entfaltung der Gaben und Geschenke heißt definitiv Dankbarkeit.

Back to walking the path, after a very long and trying month.

This was a good reminder for me today, that all is there for me to know when I need to know it. I just need to be receptive to the message - and to accept it. Fighting the message leads to disharmony - which I think has been the root of my problems this month.

Forgiveness is so important if you are looking for peace, health, freedom, and happiness.   So few of us realise (so look hard and deep within yourself) that we harbor not just a little but sometimes a lot of resentment and bitterness, towards someone or something ( person or institution or country) even ourselves.   This is literally poisoning your soul and body!  I have read about tests they have done where they have tested saliva, and it is literally poisonous.    Anyway before I get too carried away lets get back to the topic at hand!    

Part of being healthy and happy is creating and allowing the ability to let go of the things we have been burdening ourselves with - often for years!  If  you are interested in Louise Hay's work, she talks about how the emotions effect the body and the illnesses it produces.  Heart attack = Anger,  Cancer = Bitterness and Resentment.    Are you making yourself ill?  Is one of your clients making themselves ill?   I know I did before I something about it!

These feelings also prevent us from achieving the things we want in life, through the emotional blocks we create, and the limiting beliefs we instill in our selves.  We have a choice about whether we want to continue down that same path or not!  Do you want to succeed?   YOU are in charge.

Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting or condoning what that person / thing has done.  Its an act of self-interest where we can let go, so we can move on, and allow the wonderful, loving and healthy things to show up in our lives.  You know the adage about filling a vaccuum.   So thats what you will be doing - bringing the things/emotions you want into your life and letting go of the misery and physical effects (aging, overeating...and the list goes on)!

I want to share a website that I am a member of that is a huge advocate of 'forgiveness'  - they have lots of free teleclasses, newsletter, inspirations to give to their subscribers.   So here is their link:

http://www.withforgiveness.com/events.html

Susyn and Sheri are hosting their next live teleclass on Tues 19th.  So check it out.  And don't underestimate the power of forgiveness.  It can be truly freeing.   Holistic practitioners and coaches out there - let your clients know about this wonderful website.     The subject of this event is:  Forgiveness in Action - Simple Techniques for Big Results

(I will set up a link on the side of the page for future reference to the With Forgiveness website)

There is also another very powerful way to do this kind of work, and that is through courses that The Journey does.  Brendan Bays got rid of her cancer this way.    www.thejourney.com            A great experience to recommend to your clients (and yourselves).  I loved it. It was a truly amazing experience.

with love, and in the spirit of forgiveness,

O primeiro livro, Cure seu Corpo,  a projetou ao discutir como os padrões mentais criam doenças. Ela mesma se curou de um câncer logo depois disso - um daqueles testes em que você tem que provar o quanto acredita no que fala. O resultado disso foi o seu livro mais conhecido, Você Pode Curar a Sua Vida, que agora virou um vídeo.

Este lançamento, obviamente, tenta pegar carona de sucessos recentes, como Quem somos Nós e O Segredo, mas existe um trabalho aqui que eu respeito, se ele for conduzido de forma adequada. Não é mágica, nem convencimento por insistência.

O importante em tudo isso é perceber quais os padrões de sabotagem temos plantados em nosso sistema e como desativá-los. Tudo é feito com consciência e disciplina.

Este post é para informar que, não sei por quanto tempo, o vídeo Você Pode Mudar a Sua Vida está disponível no YouTube em 10 partes - todo ele dublado em português e com legenda, embora nem sempre o que é dito seja o mesmo que está escrito.. rs

O link leva para a 1a parte e de lá basta seguir a trilha das demais. Eu não assisti todo, mas o pouco que vi me pareceu uma boa introdução ao tema.

This blog is called “Current Living” because on this physical journey, I believe it’s imperative that we do everything we can– moment by moment– to live with the current, not against it, as the Hicks say. That means, never buck the current of your own emotions. Do things that feel good. When you are experiencing a negative emotion– anger, fear, worry, resentment– you are cut off from your true self. But don’t worry. You can slowly climb up the ladder of emotions in an authentic and real way, that is not stressful or produces any self-judgement. You can let that go. Working little by little (in a way that makes you feel good) will remind you of the power that you inherently have to be yourself and, consequently, connect to the universal power of love, prosperity, abundance and joy. Your natural state is joy. I like remembering that. Let yourself be human, for that’s what you are at this point in time and space. Enjoy being human until your body departs this world. You will not be returning to universal consciousness, you already have access to this at every moment of every day. And when you acknowledge worry, fear, disease, stress, anger, hate, jealousy and any other negative emotion as signals that you are not being who you really are, you’ll experience the amazing power of living presently and being in control of where your thoughts will lead you.
