🌈TIP OF THE WEEK 🌈

Ask yourself: Do I Want This?

This is a good question to ask when you are allowing yourself to experience life at a deeper level. It will help you discover what your true desires are. This is a question about things, people, experiences and even feelings.

It’s also a question about marriage. So ask yourself: Do I want to stay married to this person? Notice the question does not include what do or would other people think; have other family members or friends divorced; or is it good for the children? This is a question for you, about what you want and what is good for you.

Often we get so focused on what we think is the right course of action that we don’t stop to think about what we want. What we think we should do, our family beliefs and religious upbringing can all influence our choices without our realizing it. One good friend, whose spouse was unwilling to go to marriage counseling confided she didn’t want to consider divorce because it would be her second one and she didn’t want to fail again.

The problem with that kind of thinking is that it’s based in fear instead of self-love. When we haven’t worked on ourselves between the first and second marriage, then the chances are good that we’ll fall into another unhealthy relationship. It will look different, but in the end, it will feel the same. Another reason we often ignore what we want is because we believe the children are better off if their parents stay married.

Research does not support this belief, which I saw confirmed in a recent visit with a friend and his young family. I knew that one of their children had a lot of behavioral problems, but I had not seen the family dynamics up close. I noticed that the parents barely spoke to each other. I could feel the tension in the air. As I watched their emotionally volatile child, I suddenly realized that he was picking up the unspoken conflict. At some point, he couldn’t contain the anxiety anymore and he erupted in a full blown tantrum. A successful marriage is between two people who are willing and able to listen, acknowledge each other and try to understand their partner.

🧡 Being panic free in 10 days seems unlikely. Yet, my guest, Tom Bunn, has succeeded in controlling panic and claustrophobia in every client with whom he has used this program. 100% success is hard to achieve in anything, especially something that has previously been treated with limited success. The drugs are highly addictive, and only mildly successful even when combined with the supposed gold standard treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. CBT is only successful with one out of seven people. Tom’s program works without drugs or doctors because by doing the specified exercises, your brain learns to respond without panic when you are in a stressful situation. There are even additional trainings for specific situations like: MRI’s, bridges, airplane travel, and tunnels.

🌺 Every problem has a solution, including the chaos and fears we are facing in these challenging times. We cannot change what our leaders do or what a mentally ill person will do. We can, however, be in charge of what we do and say, and that is what will change the world. Lasting social change happens at the level of the individual. We can transform our lives, the lives of others, and ultimately the world through kind words. Robyn writes “… The power of a generous thought and loving-kindness is transformative.… I’ve seen it change lives, build better relationships and make a person smile from the inside out. I’ve watched how parents and children have formed lasting bonds, and friends and family have reunited. By loving out loud and ‘saying’ it forward, we can rest assured we are doing our best to be a blessing to family, friends, and those around us.”

🪴Let's take the concept of the limitless self one step further. If we all have access to the One Mind, then we all have access to the healing powers within that energy field of infinite love. Dr. Bernie Siegel has been helping cancer patients tap into that source of healing. As a result, miraculous cures become expected. Bernie believes that our bodies actually want to heal. This realization led him to develop techniques that have helped his patients create their own healing. His unconventional processes include drawing, visualization, dreams, love and laughter. As he said to me recently, I cured my cat of cancer through love. The veterinarian, however, doesn't believe it even though my cat is cancer-free. And that's why we need to be our own best advocate. We, as patients, need to be aware of all of the information on healing so as to have better control over our own fate.

Listen to my April 2015 show on-demand with Bernie Siegel to learn patient-proven techniques that can help you create your own miracles.

⚽ When my 5-year-old son was playing soccer, the parents got together and requested that the coach resign. They were unhappy with the way he treated their children. He was yelling at the kids, benching the kids who weren't good players and generally making the experience so unpleasant that the children didn't want to come. Unfortunately, this is all too common and our children are suffering. The impressive thing in this instance was that despite the fact that some of the parents were friends with the coach, they had the courage to stand up to him and protect their children. There are rules on how to play various sports, but there are no rules on healthy behavior for parents and coaches. Some people need their children to be star athletes in order to feed their own egos and the child's needs get overshadowed. It is possible to learn how to parent your athletic child in a way that helps them perform at higher levels, be happy and actually have fun!

🌿 Where was Julie Simon when I was struggling with using food for comfort? The wisdom of the time, just made me feel worse. I was ashamed of my desire to eat when I was sad, frustrated, lonely, stressed or had other feelings that I didn't know how to manage. I was lucky to find my way to healthy eating and self-nurturing. Now, brain research, mindfulness and a fuller understanding of child development and human nature are kinder to emotional eaters and actually provide a road map of how to heal. If we don't receive consistent emotional nurturing in early childhood, we can develop difficulty controlling our impulses and look for comfort outside of ourselves in food or other substances. The good news is that we can actually learn how to manage our emotions, thoughts and behaviors, nurture ourselves, attract other nurturing people into our lives and nurture others better.

💫ARCHANGELS RAPHAEL & CRYSTAL💫

This week I am going to introduce you to Archangels Raphael and Crystal who are healers. Archangel Raphael helps with physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing, and Archangel Crystal is over healing the physical body. Ask for their help daily in addition to whoever else you pray to.

Use your own words or say something like: Archangel Raphael, I give you permission in a positive way only to help me heal physically, mentally, and emotionally from my heart attack or from the transitioning of my father or whatever you need.

Pay attention to signs, synchronicity, and new information. This is a process, not an event. Trust that they are helping you--because they are.

🪷We know a pregnant mother needs to provide healthy nourishment for the life growing inside of her. Just as important, however, is nourishing the fetus' nervous system with positive thoughts and words and the energy of love. An ultrasound video on YouTube shows a 14 week old fetus clapping in rhythm as the parents sing "If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands." We are influencing our children's development long before we had previously thought possible. We must start asking ourselves what messages we are conveying with our words and thoughts. We know that it's important to play Mozart to help the fetal brain develop. Emotional development is just as important. Dr. Brian Weiss showed that under hypnosis, a woman remembered word for word things said by a total stranger shortly after she was born. Our unconscious mind knows more than we think.
