Equilibrium

In Deepak Chopra's "A Path to Love: Spiritual Strategies for Healing", he speaks of how we heal in layers. At first, this concept sounded like it made sense, yet once applied to my everyday existence, the concept resonated in every particle of my being.

In the past, I have had issues with commitment in relationships. Yet, recently I have taken those fears and faced them, stopping my commitment issues in their tracks. Lately, however...now that the commitment issue is no longer present...I am realizing that it was simply covering deeper issues. Hence, the "layers" that need to be addressed and healed.

As children, young babies specifically, we are cocooned in love and positive energy. There comes a time in every child's life where it has to be left alone. That love and positive energy that was so readily available is not present at all times. The fact that our parents will not always be there to protect us arises along with a false notion. That notion being that love and positive energy will not be there to protect us either.

Love and positive energy (Spirit) are always around...inside and outside...of us.

Today, I practice what I call a Love Reflection. The love that I so readily give to those around me, I turn and give to mySelf. The only way to heal layers of dis-ease is to continuously strive to be attentive to the messages that your Self is sending to you. I quiet my person to hear. Balance.

Peace

"Cars are not the only things recalled by their makers..."

Today, a very dear friend of mine sent me an email. The email made me think about how precious life is. Precious and, at times, fragile.

Sometimes we take for granted the time we have on this Earth. We don't realise the gifts we've been blessed with and we don't know how to channel our energy to make sure that we use our talent toward the upliftment of humanity and our future generations.

Love is a universal gift. A skill...a talent...an art, if you will, that the Creator has placed in each and every one of us. If we do nothing else in this existence, we need to love...whole heartedly.

Let those around you know how they have impacted your life, by the small things...the mundane things that are usually not noticed. Take time to recall every smile, every wink, every touch of a hand, every phone call or wall post that made your life a little more bearable. Then take time to say thanks and show that it is appreci-loved.

Do this, before something happens, and your loved ones are "recalled". The weight of things left unsaid is one of the most unbearable burdens.

Peace
