Sorrow: Is There a Storm in Your Heart?
When someone inflicts pain, it changes you deeply. It creates a cellular memory.
At times, your body responds to this memory as if the event were happening now.
Knowing sorrow is to experience it. The more experience you have with it, the more you know it – inside and out. Some of this is internal.
When you know it, you are getting to the heart of the matter.
What to do?
Now is a time to grow. Evolution does not come skating in.
No sirree. It rides in on despair and loneliness.
It’s time to go in another direction so you can be stronger – more resilient. You are transformed.
You will evolve!
How?
Dance – Scream – Roll around on the floor – Write – Beat Drums – Journal – Draw pictures – Run – Change jobs – Move away – Apologize
DO THIS:
Move on
MEDITATION:
This meditation focuses on making your coping easier and more effective if you are under severe stress.
Find a comfortable and safe place to sit. Select a place where you will not be disturbed. When you are in this safety zone, settle into the quiet where you can feel positive and relaxed. This is your sanctuary.
Turn on some healing music. Light a candle. Fire up some incense. Do whatever makes you feel calmer. You may enjoy lighting a Himalayan salt lamp.
Now get comfortable. You may prefer a chair or a mat on the floor; whatever works best for you.
Breathe slowly, calmly and deeply. Breathe deeply – into your heart. Breathe into those places needing healing. Breathe healing and positive energies into your deepest self.
As you exhale, release negativity, stress, fear, and anything that needs to go.
Develop a pattern: breathe out to release negativity and pain.
Breathe in deeply as you receive the wisdom of your heart and your light. Breathe the wisdom of your being.
Let this breath pattern lead you to an inner sanctuary.
Open your eyes to find yourself in a tranquil place where you feel secure and strong. Your surroundings make you feel comfortable. Notice the details of this space.
Notice what this space is like. What does it look like? What is the temperature in this space?
Notice everything. Include the smells, noises, colors, textures, and shapes of this space. Examine everything about this space.
Possibly this space is from your past. Possibly it is one you are creating for your own special healing needs.
Whatever this space, you are in control of this sanctuary. Take time now to create this place just for you and your healing needs.
Notice the areas and objects that represent safety, security, and peace. This space is your refuge. Explore it now. Immerse yourself in this sanctuary, feeling its protection and beauty.
Feel the protection this space offers you.
It is time for you to return to your day now. As your breathing brings you to now, carry the safety and calm of your sanctuary with you.
Know that you can return to this space whenever you choose.
Tune into your breathing now.
Peace be with you.
Are you Searching for a Life-Changing Boost? – Try This!
Every once in a while, you may need a life-changing boost.
You find yourself in a situation where you need access to some extra power to change your life. You know you need this because your emotions and reason are conflicted. They are telling you so.
You may even be at a point where you feel there are two truths in your situation. There is the truth which works for you and there is the truth which also works for someone else.
When this happens, consider the discrepancies in the truths in your life. Listen to them. Meditate on them. Study the reality. Maybe both options are bad.
You know you have the skills and resources to make a decision. Something is holding you down so that you cannot get to the outcome.
Pause for a moment. You know you have everything you need. What should you do?
Do these three things:
First, set aside your frustrations. This sounds easy but it can be challenging.
Second, clean your glasses so that you can see the problem for what it actually is. Consider your wants, needs, and loves. Write a list of the pros and cons of the situation.
Listen to your internal guidance and close your eyes. Trust your inner self to know the answer. It can be that the best advice you’re going to get comes from within..
At this point, you know you have everything you need to reach the conclusion you need. You are seeing the issue for what it actually is.
Finally – do you see an outcome? NO?
Well, if you do not see the solution and you are, indeed, seeing the problem for what it is …then there is one last and final step. Trust your judgement.
Get up and walk away.
Walking away from the problem is a viable and realistic option when you do not see any other way.
Many people stay in a situation with an unacceptable outcome because they don’t realize that they can leave.
Leaving the problem behind is a viable and realistic option. There are times when walking away is the best option.
DO THIS:
This is the time for a self-care activity. Reflexology and/or Reiki are soo good for you at this moment. Indulge yourself. This is not a luxury.
MEDITATION:
Begin this meditation by settling yourself in a private and safe space.
Get comfortable.
If it’s appropriate and comfortable, you may want to light a candle, burn incense, or play healing music.
Close your eyes to begin your meditation.
Begin slow, even breathing from deep in your abdomen. Breathe in clean, healing air. Breathe out toxins and negativity. The regularity of this slow, deep, breathing will guide you to get in touch with your inner power and knowing.
After a few breaths, you realize you are walking along a path in a gentle forest area. As you walk along, you notice the aromas and sounds of this place. The flowers and birds in the area call out to you. You begin to feel that you are in a private park.
Walking along, you see a beautiful little clearing with a bench. You know that you are being invited to sit on this bench. As you sit on the bench, you see light coming down from above. It is directed at where you are. Slowly and gently, the light gets brighter and you feel yourself becoming filled with light and healing energy.
You feel that you are in this space at this time to allow you to ponder your question. You understand that your question has prevented you from feeling the oneness you share with the universe.
You ask yourself if you feel unworthy of the answer. Maybe you are experiencing guilt. Maybe you fear the earth. Or, maybe it is several things combined. You allow these feelings to come forward.
Now, you see them leaving you. You are letting them go. You see the light becoming brighter now. It is filled with healing for you and your situation. You feel yourself being absorbed by the light as it’s healing allows you to just BE.
This is a heart-expanding moment. You feel at one with the energy. You want this energy to be in your life.
You enjoy this experience for a few more moments.
It is time to return your awareness back into your area. Slowly and gently bring yourself back.
Know that you can return to this space whenever you want.
