Our words are very powerful.
A right word can inspire and heal.
A wrong word can break relationships, start wars and cause pain.
Your words influence your reality.
They can help you manifest your dreams or multiply your problems.
Understanding the science behind the power of our words and methods of communicating can heal ourselves, our relationships and the people around us.
When you take control of the power of your word, you take control of your life.
Its your choice. Make it happen.
When you are working from your sympathetic nervous system (which most of us are, most of the time), you are working in a place of reaction. When we react, we do not see reality clearly, instead we are blinded by emotions, such as anger, fear and frustration.
To be able to remove ourselves from reactive space, we need to be in our parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS). This gives us the calmness needed to avoid reaction.
Meditation and breath work activates our PSNS. That is why it is so healing and so important at this time, a time where having a calm mind seems impossible to most.
There is good news: we are creatures of habit.
The more time we spend using our PSNS, the more it becomes second nature.
With practice, the zen of meditation begins to permeate the rest of our lives.
It becomes part of us.
Its not that we are in a meditative state during the day, just that our body knows how to go back into the PSNS quickly after the SNS gets turned on.
As this happens we can recover from the fight or flight mode of everyday life and resist reacting.
As we resist reacting and live in a more calm space, we can begin to see reality a little more clearly.
We can see things in ourselves we didn't notice.
We can see other people's perspectives better.
This gives us the ability to have more compassion and respond with Love to ourselves and the people in our lives.
It helps us figure out what in our lives is serving us and what is an unhealthy attachment.
And knowing the difference between what serves us and what is attachment empowers us to make informed decisions to best address our needs.
And when we are able to fulfill our needs, we can be a little better each day.
There is only one truth.
It never changes because its always true.
Anything that is not true, is truth covered by a veil.
Because there is only one truth and it is always true.
When we react, we are acting on a small slice of reality.
Without seeing the entire truth, our reaction is going to be misaligned with our intention. The result will be pain or suffering for ourselves or others.
If we are centered and calm and have the ability to perceive the impact of our actions, then we can act from a place of Love.
And when we respond from a place of Love, it does not matter that we do not see the truth, because Love is an experience.
If you come from a place of Love, a person will have that experience.
And when someone is loved, they are a little bit better. A little bit healthier.
The more Love a person experiences, the more Love a person can share.
It promotes a cycle of health.
When we react, we are not in a place of Love. We are incapable of giving someone (including ourselves) the experience of Love. We are stressed. We are in a state of dis-ease.
The point of this life is to learn.
Every moment is another opportunity to gain wisdom.
Every challenge a blessing.
There are lessons we need to learn and sometimes its learned the hard way.
There is no bad or good, there just is.
You and I just are.
But we add a layer of judgement over everything.
Something is good or something is bad.
That is just a veil over reality, which is one.
Its all about perspective and each of our perspectives is quite limited as we see very little of reality.
Learning to embrace any challenge, person or situation as one, one that is neither good nor bad, you can then find the light inside the dark.
It is a key to open your heart and see the beauty in everything.
It is a crucial ingredient to fulfilling your life’s higher destiny, or even more simply, getting through something as traumatic as cancer and continuing with life after.
We can find blessings around us when we understand that perception is limited, that good and bad exist only in our minds.
We can begin to control our experiences. Because there is always choice.
when envious, our heart closes.
we are fixated in fantasy.
disconnect from truth.
anxious and unhealthy.
unable to celebrate the joys of others.
lacking peace in ourselves.
our efforts become rooted in disillusion and attachment.
surrender your envy and be grateful for what you have.
and what you lack.
for they are both gifts.
our greatest challenges can transform into our greatest gifts. its all in what we choose.
surrender your past. surrender your hurts. they are not you. they were a place you visited.
only you are you and you are beautiful.
you can heal from anything.
just let go and breathe.
Any challenge can be overcome with love. The resulting transformation is beautiful.
Its a gift.
That doesn't make it easy.
It makes it worth it.
I wonder if someone could be human and go through life without wanting to take something back.
The challenges that arise from our actions are paths that pave the way for wisdom.
Make peace with what was and figure out how to transform the now as every decision can make you a little better and a little happier.
It just takes courage.
Judgement is not truth, it is an interpretation of limited perspective
