Taking Care of Yourself...

I am reading of so many individuals in pain and having negative symptoms. With the changes in energy this will continue to happen. So much is coming up to heal and our bodies and psyches are learning to live in the new energy.
I would like to present just a few ideas for your consideration to help with these negative symptoms. Take what you can use and forget the rest.
1. Much is happening now but we have chosen to be here. We are not victims.
2. Accept responsibility for yourself.
3. The negative symptoms are not fun but we can learn to handle them.
4. To handle negative emotions learn to sit with them for a time. Breath deeply at least three deep breaths. Allow yourself to feel the feeling as much as you can. If they appear to be overwhelming, feel them as long as you can and then do something to distract yourself and come back to it when you feel it again. When it feels better after sitting with and feeling the emotion, let it go.
5. Sometimes if the challenge is too much for you, you must seek assistance; Professional help, 12 step program, body work, more.
6. Pray, meditate, make contact with your guides, angels and most of all, your Higher Self.
7. Surrender, surrender, surrender....

I might also recommend the work of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Kryon, from Kryon.com and the work of Robert Schwartz.

Would You Kill the Child?...

This morning I heard a conversation on public radio with author and scientist Jesse Bering PhD.   Dr. Bering has a new book and has a speaking engagement about the book and it’s contents in Seattle this evening.   Dr. Bering has done a great deal of research in evolutionary biology and the conversation at one point focused on human choice and what makes us what we are as humans.  I wish to touch on some points raised during that conversation.  Does free will exist?  Interesting research has shown that if scientists tell people that there is no free will, that they do not have control over their lives, they have a tendency to become more antisocial and will live their lives that way.  The opposite exists if people are led to believe that they do have free will.  The studies have shown that people are able to make personal choices that they feel matters and they live more kindly and more altruistically.   Interesting findings don’t you think? 
Also in the discussion about free will the subject of the holocaust was brought up.  Dr. Bering proposed an interesting dilemma.   What if it were possible to go back in time
and find a five year old Adolph Hitler?  If we believe in free will then there would be many places in Hitler’s life where he could have made the decision to not proceed as he did.  If you found him as a five year old would you try to talk to his parents and get them to raise him differently?  Would some archival footage of the holocaust shown to his parents get them to raise him differently?  And last of all, if you were convinced this child was the future Adolph Hitler that was to kill or the be cause of death of millions of people through his lifetime would you kill the child?

The author is Jesse Bering PhD, and the title of his book, yes this is really the title: WHY IS THE PENIS SHAPED LIKE THAT and other reflections on being human.   Dr. Bering’s website is http://www.jessebering.com/ and the book is available at Amazon and as a digital download on itunes and in Kindle format. 

Trial by fire or school of hard knocks...

I was going to call planet earth a trial by fire kinda place but as I think about it, it really is more like the "school of hard knocks".  I understand it is the only planet like it in the entire universe.   Now there are infinite multiverses so who knows how accurate that is but still it is unique.  Earth, the planet of polarity and free will.  One of the things that astounds me is that with all of the people on the planet so few of us seem to get it right and yet I think everyone comes in with good intentions.   Now some have very specific reasons for incarnating in certain places and certain times and we all know that some places are easier places to live on planet earth than others.  Too bad we can't remind certain people of the reason they came here in the first place.  But then that is between them and their spirit, isn't it?  If you ever ask yourself any of the questions brought up in this little musing and really want some answers, look inside, and ask for some help finding those answers.  You might be surprised.
