The ongoing conversation between my body and spirit
I have learned to listen to my body when it is telling me things.
In my younger years, I didn’t listen much at all, and didn’t even know this might be a good thing to do.
I had non stop energy and the ability to run at a very fast speed and Get A Lot Done, and so I didn’t understand or hear my body when it was talking to me. It may have tried to communicate with me quietly and politely at first, I don’t know, because I wasn’t present to hear it. I just kept doing all the things and telling my body ‘this is what we’re doing today’. I was Type A+, I mean, I had it all under control!
The healing power of gratitude
There are countless ways to heal yourself. Gratitude is one of them.
Gratitude is a perfect way to show up consciously and remind yourself of your many, many blessings. When you say 'thank you', you are also saying you are abundant. You have received, you have been given to. You can have. When you express thanks, you are saying that you are already prosperous. This attitude, this energy, makes it easy for you to have more of what you do want.
With this grateful attitude, you are healing yourself. The wonderful thing about you healing yourself is that it spreads to others around you.
If you want to heal the world, start by healing yourself
You already have what it takes to help heal the world you live in.
You can create healing on this planet. The trick is to begin with yourself, and do your own healing from within. You are not responsible for healing the rest of us, and you don’t have the power to decide who heals.
All healing is self healing, which means that others heal from within themselves too. You can never do someone else’s healing for them, because it's not your job. However, you have an important effect on how and whether others choose to heal themselves. You might be unaware of the power you possess to do this.
Notes on being a spiritual activist
Spiritual activism is about consciousness.
When you become conscious about something, any energy that was stuck before you became conscious starts to move. The more consciousness you embrace, the more you decide to become aware, the more movement happens. You become a spiritual activist. Change follows quickly.
All change begins within, sometimes starting out quietly, rumbling in the background.
