There is More to Healing than Meets the Eye!     

One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they wan t to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

What do we do when the pain is too great?

Nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many are experiencing the pain of loss right now and my heart goes out to all of you.  

-The loss of a loved one

-The loss of our health and the potential for death

-The loss of a partner through ending of a relationship

-The loss of a job or career

-The loss of a home

-The loss of love

-The loss of financial investments

-The loss of courage

-The loss of hope

What do you do when you experience loss?  Write them down now.

I often want to physically get up and run away or drive away as if some how I can get away from it.  I want to cry and cry and get rid of all the painful feelings.  I want to hide and never come out.  I want to talk and share with someone I trust.

 Do We Really Create Our Own Reality?

How could that be?  Did I really create my health, my cancer, my brokedness, my lonliness, my LIFE????

It is hard for us to really grasp this concept of creating our own life.  It tends to be a bit more comfortable to believe life happens to us.  Especially when BAD things happen.

This is a story of one of my experiences and a great example of how I created this CRAZY experience!! 

“Then the reality hit….I am alone in this darkness and I am scared to death!

What could I have possibly been thinking?  Staying in a stick hut all by my self, in some foreign country, in the middle of a jungle, with murders, rapists, burglars, wild animals………………………….

As the travel fatigue increased, my mind accelerated………………………….

Fall in love with YOU!

Make lists of  all the wonderful things about you. Keep adding to it every day.

These are simple words of wisdom from a cancer survivor that knows it is part of any healing.

Know that you are perfect. Do not think any negative thoughts about you.

Know that you are worthy and deserving of anything and everything you could possibly want in your life.

This isn’t something we were taught and socialized with.  But we can remember that feeling as a very young child.  Can’t YOU?

Every single relationship you have is a reflection of how you feel inside about you. You are a magnet attracting to you all things, via the signal you are emitting through your thoughts and feelings. Every relationship you have and every interaction with every person, is a reflection of your own thoughts and feelings in that very moment.  Jaffee

Can we learn compassion?  Some people are naturally more compassionate, while others seem to walk away or have no feeling what so ever.

Why is compassion so evident in some and not others?

Read these words of wisdom from a couple of researchers looking for scientific evidence to these questions. 

Compassion Meditation Changes The Brain
ScienceDaily (Mar. 27, 2008) —

Can we train ourselves to be compassionate? A new study suggests the answer is yes.

Cultivating compassion and kindness through meditation affects brain regions that can make a person more empathetic to other peoples’ mental states, say researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

This study was the first to use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to indicate that positive emotions such as loving-kindness and compassion can be learned in the same way as playing a musical instrument or being proficient in a sport. The scans revealed that brain circuits used to detect emotions and feelings were dramatically changed in subjects who had extensive experience practicing compassion meditation.

‘Compassion is a profound human emotion prompted by the pain of others. More vigorous than empathy, the feeling commonly gives rise to an active desire to alleviate another’s suffering.”

When I was healing and was a complete emotional mess, compassion was a invaluable gift.  Those that were truly able to feel my pain and listen and be there for me were like angels from heaven.  My heart was so heavy and I felt completely lost and alone.  It was in those moments that I really learned what compassion was.

When I was in the deep dark hole and didn’t know if I could climb out, compassion helped lift me one step forward.

“Compassion is that which makes the heart of the good move at the pain of others. It crushes and destroys the pain of others.” – The Buddha.

 Marlese was a twelve year old girl who died of muscle cancer.  Dr. Lerma in his book, Into the Light shares her story.  Here are her final words of wisdom.

Marlese left me with these final words from what she learned from the four angels assigned to her:

“ To entertain dishonesty, what is not good or not helpful from others or oneself, only feeds our ego. This act in turn and unwisely crafts a form of guilt within our soul, which forces one to veer from the one thing that will destroy it; that is our free-will to self-forgive and self-love.

The constant lies that our self-centered ego tells our spirit or soul is purely for its self–preservation. It has no consideration for bringing us joy, love and forgiveness. The ego, also known as our sinful nature, stems back to the story of Adam and Eve. It was their ego, the same ego that exists in us, which lead their spirit to defy God’s request.

We all know something is working with our medical systems today. Costs are rising for health care and insurance.  More and more people don’t have health insurance and can’t get the care they need.  Something has to change.

Through all my experiences as I travel the medical hallways with cancer, I realized the system in the west is to treat the symptoms.  If they got rid of the symptoms, they believed they were successful.  But what about the cause??  Who was treating the cause or looking for the cause so we could heal our bodies.  I was so discouraged that I couldn’t find anyone to help me heal from cancer in the medical industry.  How could that be?

So what if they got rid of the tumor, if the environment where the tumor grew didn’t change.  Its a pretty good bet I would grow more cancer cells! 

Once we truly love ourselves unconditionally, we can then love others.

What does that mean?  “I love others! Even though I may not always love me.”

We are born into this universe from one source, I call God.  (Others use different words meaning the same thing)  We all come from the same source.  If we all come from the same source, we must be part of the whole, part of God.  If we are all part of God, we are all part of each other too.  This is where the wise teachers of the past, refer to for example, “We are all part of the body of Christ”.  Or ”We are all ONE”. 

We are all one if we came from the same ONE!

So how can we truly love another, child, friend, sister, mom……………….

If we don’t love ourselves………………….

It is the same thing, we are the same thing…….We are all one!
