When You Heal Yourself First, The Rest Will Fall Into Place

Nothing Is An Accident But Results From Our Thinking

How would you describe your relationship with yourself? Is it a kind, compassionate and nurturing one or does it encompass a critical voice? It is important we understand the way we treat ourselves because it impacts how we relate to others. I realise many people have been hurt, whether it be through childhood wounds or intimate relationships. We have all experienced pain and suffering at some point. However, this shouldn't mean we carry our emotional wounds around and unload them on others. Whilst we may not have consented to the experience that caused us pain, it is incumbent on us to heal the wounds and find our way back to wholeness.

Life is not fair at the best of times, yet if we buy into this narrative, we are bound to lose hope. It is better we see life as a process where good things happen and sometimes unfortunate things happen. I'm not convinced life is out to get us. However, in my early 20s I was certain it was, since unpleasant experiences seemed like I was being punished. It wasn't until my early 30s I realised it was my thoughts that regulated how I interacted with life. That is to say, the wisdom of the years has taught me that life is impartial and my thinking determines my outlook. I am the tuning fork and life echoes back the experience of my thoughts. Ever since then, I have become attentive to my surroundings and inner world. For example, if I'm ruminating on something negative, I will see evidence of this in my waking life, such as repeated TV commercials about what I am focusing on. I am attentive to it and snap out of it quickly. Have you noticed this in your life? Do you observe your surroundings and pay attention to your inner world such as your dreams?

The point I wish to make is that healing is an inside out job. It begins by nurturing our thoughts with what we want to show up in our life. What we believe at a deeper level becomes our destiny, whether we like it or not. We are not victims given the deeper meaning behind every experience that teaches us valuable lessons. I see life as one giant mirror and we are the architects and creators of our reality. What we call a deleterious experience is the universe shining a light on our thoughts. I know this may sound insensitive but the universe doesn't care what we think about. The universe is aligned with fundamental laws and when we abide by them, the circumstances of our life flow like a stream. We create every experience through our thoughts. Therefore, if we wish to heal the past, we ought to concede that nothing is an accident but results from our thinking. Is this an idea you are willing to embrace? Irrespective of your life's experience up till now, are you willing to give life a chance?

Heal The Distorted Beliefs And Replace Them With The Truth

When you make it a priority to heal yourself first, everything falls into place. When we perceive life differently, outside circumstances begin to reflect our thoughts. Granted, it may take a while but what is the rush? I often hear people talk about healing to the extent it is now embellished on social media with inspirational quotes. But no one tells us what it requires because no two paths to healing are the same. Some people spend their entire life healing and are still wounded. Healing requires understanding we are already whole as spiritual beings, yet throughout life we take on beliefs that distort this sense of wholeness. Healing is seeing past the illusion we are broken or need to be fixed. Whilst healing is important, integrating our wounds into the wholeness of our true nature is vital. We were never broken to begin with but lose our way throughout our earthly existence.

Healing requires putting the pieces of our life back together and stripping away what is not essential. It requires letting go of negativity by way of: fear, anger, anxiety and other disempowering states. These states find their way into our psyche and just like a computer virus, cause destruction until it takes over. Our job is to heal these distorted beliefs and replace them with the truth. We are none of these things and that is why healing is a return to love; the place we originated from and where we will eventually return. This is the essence of the message espoused by the spiritual teacher and author Matt Khan who writes in Everything Is Here to Help You: A Loving Guide to Your Soul's Evolution: "When rooted in the vibration of love, we don't have to be completely healed in order to bring forth the kindness and care that already dwells within us. Love inspires us to console the innocence within our heart that wishes it felt something other than how things are." With this is mind, your task over the coming days is to write down a list of what you believe is standing in your way of living a remarkable life. On a separate page, write down whether you know for certain this is true? How can you reframe these beliefs? What needs to change to create empowering beliefs and are you prepared to do the work? Once we heal ourselves, life begins to mirror our inner world because we have attended to the root cause of our pain.

Vegan - May Your Spirit Never Be Tamed!

I am aware that people have different capacity levels for empathy. Some feel deeply about their own family, but struggle with feeling anything for others. Some feel deeply for animals and children, but not so much for adult humans. Some of us shelve things happening in the world just to get by in our own struggling world. I understand that people process information differently, with some needing a barrage of details and facts and others being more intuitive thinkers. Yet, with all of this observation I am still confounded by the blindness and self- centeredness of the human race.

How does the human race not see its self-induced injustices? I am human, I see. As a so called "most evolved" species, how do we not see the injustice of creating enemies with our "us versus them" labeling, of enslaving and killing over 56 million land animals a day, and of thinking that we have a right to dominate? This unconscionable naiveté is beyond my comprehension, and so I too compartmentalize it away to function without being overwhelmed by the farce of my existence. Beyond being vegan, beyond non- violent communication, beyond self-exploration, "how can I use my energy to create a world of peace for all beings?"

We think we have a lot of choices, but in fact our enculturation limits us. We have the illusion of being free, but we are all caught in a smoke screen. A screen or filter that is imposed as babes and perpetuated in the country we live in, and the people with whom we align. This is not freedom this is an enslaved way of thinking which preserves the status quo. When we break away from this entrenched thinking we are met with enormous resistance politically, economically, and emotionally. Is it enough that I question social beliefs, practice veganism and non violent communication, and am open to other ways of being?

Finding our own truth is not easy. Martin Luther King Jr., once said:

"And there comes a time one must take a position that is neither safe, nor political, nor popular-but one must take it simple because it is right."

Veganism is my truth because it is about creating a Utopia where all peoples, and all animals, can live in peace on a well planet. Consequently, if I want to have an impact on the way others see peace I must be the change I want to see. To optimize my performance in this quest I want to be my best physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

To keep alive the peace within I use this guide as a foundation to optimizing my well-being.

In My Body,

I will treat my body to nutritious foods.

I will avoid highly processed vegan foods loaded with sugar, salt, and fat.

I will learn from vegan nutrition experts (PurePlant Nation, the Buddhist Chef) what fuels my body best.

I will stock my home with essential vegan stables like plant milk, spices, cooked beans, frozen vegetables, sauces, seeds, nuts, grains, a blender, and a steamer.

I will get at least six hours of sleep each evening.

I will drink at least 64 ounces of water a day.

I will exercise regularly to build strength, stamina and flexibility.

In My Thinking,

I will focus on the task at hand, and shut out distractions.

I will sharpen the saw through continual learning.

I will practice win win in all my communications.

I will respect the choices of others.

I will challenge my own assumptions, triggers, and behaviors.

I will practice patience daily by being present and observing.

I will learn to communicate in a non violent manner (Marshall Rosenberg).

I will practice open minded heartful thinking.

I will be a good listener.

I will be a collaborator.

In My Spirit Self,

I will honor myself by staying focused on optimizing my energy.

I will spend time in nature, or visualize a natural setting that infuses me with oneness.

I will be persistent in valuing peace by optimizing my energy physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

I will be courageous by listening to my heart, hearing the cries of those without a voice, and by surrounding myself with people and places of positive energy.

The historical tipping point that changes these basic inequities I may never see. I do find solace and inspiration in spiritual leaders like the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle, Ram Dass, and many others. I am not alone and either are you. We can help shape the world by being our best and by enlarging our community. This is my quest and this is my bliss.

Get The Life You Want Now By Learning To Empower Yourself With Visualization Meditation

The power of true manifestation will provide you rather quickly exactly what you bring into your focus, whether you are speaking of it or observing it.

Those who comprehend how the universe and the laws of attraction work quickly comprehend the power of their goals and objectives and do not feel tension or anxiety.

They understand that manifestation principles and laws are working for them and exactly what they create from within will quickly arrive into the material world.

The entire concept of visualization meditation is to be at-one and co-creator with God in manifesting the things that are inmost to your heart.

The entire concept of the empowering manifestations and universal laws is to be manifesting the things that are aligned to your true free will.

They understand that the power of attraction is working for them and exactly what they create from within will arrive into this world.

When you practice visualization meditation to manifest a much better life you are in the circulation and in a much better state of including worth to the world.

There is a natural circulation in the universe and in order to manifest more you need to likewise be in the circulation of receiving and giving.

Always be Offering Value

As you offer you will get and you will manifest much more than you might ever have actually pictured and much quicker too.

The Course in Miracles teaches us through one its many lessons that, "The light of the world brings peace to every mind through our own extended light."

You might not have all the financial freedom you would like to have at the moment, however you do have something of worth, and that which is of worth to you might remain in limited supply to another person.

Offer to others and you will be shocked and astonished by how quick the laws of manifesting will provide abundance in your life.

When you utilize the law of reflection-- the power to manifest a much better life, you are in the circulation and in a much better state of including worth to the world.

The faster you can feel deserving of exactly what you want to manifest the much faster it will come.

Learn how to Receive Value

Previously I discussed deeply personal fulfillment and inner power uncovered now to release a scarcity mindset and get the life you want.

To trigger the power of attraction you need to move into the state of mind open to receive.

Those small sensations of unworthiness and lack are huge blocks in the manifesting procedure and can just serve in damaging exactly what you are hoping to reflect outwardly.

The power of attraction through reflection principles is a science that takes you deep into your inner nature, and permits you to see where you are feeling detached as a co-creator with God and the universe.

There is an excellent paradox that includes releasing, due to the fact that a large part of manifesting needs that you offer a great deal of focus to your desires, however there is a fragile balancing act of focus without feeling anxious or being stressed out.

There is a natural stream that flows in the universe and in order to manifest more you should likewise be in the stream of offering value.

Offer with love on a routine basis however likewise be conscious of saving your own and the universe will bless you by bringing to you much more than you provide.

As you offer value you will receive more, and you will manifest much more than you might ever have actually envisioned and much quicker, too.

Letting Go of thoughts of Lack

One of the most significant blocks to empower oneself and in manifesting is the sensation of unworthiness that many individuals feel.

God desires you to have, and the universe is fantastically sufficient with more than enough for you and everyone else.

Appreciation can considerably transform your life, however finest of all, it gets the manifesting principles and laws to provide you more of exactly what you are feeling grateful and pleased for.

Realize the Universe is NOT Outside You

When you are feeling disappointed and down in the dumps, so to speak, you are placing too much emphasis on the outer world as where true Reality exists.

The power of manifestation is within you where the real world exists and offers you more help for shifting forward to reflect your inner workings to the material world.

Remember, the universe wants you to empower and to have, and, also you must have an awareness that the universe IS within you and NOT somewhere, "Up there", or, "Out there."

What you are seeing in the sky in all its wonderful glory is merely a reflection of the inner bliss and abundance within you.

The power of the universe within you is abundant and plentiful and awesome, and this "Awe" is a revelation you need to learn to accept.
