Happiness is Letting Go

“If you let go a little, you will have a little happiness. If you let go a lot, you will have a lot of happiness. And if you let go completely, you will be completely happy.”  Ajahn Chah

There is true liberation when we let go of anything that is suppressing our spirit and enjoyment of life.

I find that once I release a mental pattern or relationship to life that my reality changes without my trying very hard. As an example, when I fully realized that I deserved respect, friendship and love in an intimate relationship, the emotionally and verbally abusive ex and I went our separate ways, and without any drama.

As I was happily getting ready to spend the rest of my life on my own many years ago, I met the current man I share my life with two months later. He reflects everything that is beautiful, a true soulmate. He reflects my healthy state of mind when it comes to relationships. Yet, in the midst of happiness and a peaceful life, I have my inner demons that cause suffering. I am aware enough to know that these are simply thoughts, an illusion, but the ego insists on getting its way.

I am aware that I am not powerless. I simply need to stop feeding the demons until they disappear. Little by little they are being let go and little by little I am seeing several positive changes in myself. One being, I have less anxiety.

The healing work is not yet done, but I am willing and eager to continue on the path of spiritual growth and emotional wholeness.

The Gift of Healing

“You must find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible.” – Deepak Chopra

A few of you are aware I experienced a challenge last month with the sudden loss of hearing which I shared in my blog entry:  The Twilight Zone World of Silence. I have news to share with all.  Didn’t think I would be giving this update, so soon!

Last night while I was in my office with the door closed after having emailed with Janet from Thoughts to Mull,  I was listening to the sounds my s/o Phil was making outside my office and was getting ready to tease him. It did not dawn on me I was hearing until he walked in.  I got all the hearing I lost back! I even hear a little better than what I could hear in the 1990’s (I am taking hearing tests). I am still hearing challenged but not deaf.  I had tears while I was waiting today for the bus and could hear the children’s laughter; such sweet sounds that we all take for granted.

This experience has made very aware of the importance of not carrying any stress within. I am talking about the internal stress we may carry around such as fears, concerns about the past or future  or getting tense when things do not move quickly enough; wanting things to move quickly is one of my weaknesses.

I was introduced by a friend in the Philippines to the Healing Code by Dr. Alexander Lloyd, which is energy healing that releases stress to the cellular level. When we release stress from the body, the body then can heal. They have thousands upon thousands of testimonials with clinical validation of healing taking place from users all over the world.  I have been practicing the Healing Codes everyday for the past few weeks and will continue to do this as I want to continue improving my hearing.  You can check their website for more information healingcodes.com.  Don’t be put off by the seeming commercial aspect to it as you can do the healing codes on your own without spending money.

I have experienced some internal shifts of a spiritual and emotional nature that I probably will share at some point, but not today as I just wanted to share the good news!    

My deepest gratitude to all who sent me energy and prayers or blessed me with your presence here. I recieved your healing intentions/energy as we are all connected.  I won’t forget you; I have an elephant’s memory when kindness is extended to me.

Now off to tell my partner that he is making a lot of noise outside in the garden… just love it! 🙂

Post it Note: Janet (Thoughts to Mull) wrote a beautiful poem dedicated to me. The words are in perfect timing.  Silence, The Healing Balm  

Om Mani Padme Hum – Mantra

The power of sound which affects our vibrations can be relaxing and healing. Tibetan Buddhists believe that repeating the mantra (prayer), Om Mani Padme Hum, out loud or silently to oneself, will invoke the blessings of love and compassion as it opens the heart center. It is said that this mantra is still powerful in written form whether its carved, painted or written by hand.

I make time during my busy day to spend an hour or so, focusing on that which uplifts me. I found this Youtube video which I listen and watch, as it helps me to reconnect to the sacred in life. I have always found water to be soothing and healing.

Enjoy!

Peace,

 

 

Into Greater Wholeness

“Every human being must go through the process of being wounded in order to expand one’s consciousness into greater wholeness.” — Andrew Schneider

As I write this entry tonight, I am listening to soothing music from the play list of a member of a spiritual social network site I joined this summer.  I always enjoy connecting to what is beautiful and uplifting, so I am thankful for this healer’s sharing.

When I lost more hearing three days after my 33rd birthday (which was many years ago), I lost the ability to hear certain musical tones; the musical world became flatter for me, but I am grateful I hear instrumental music well enough to enjoy it.

This hearing challenge is strange, it changes at times to the point where I can hear my soulmate’s speech perfectly,  the sounds of the wind and the song of birds, which have brought me to tears and that of my mate’s, but then I revert to my partial world of silence where the caress of the wind is felt but not heard.

During the moments when my hearing improves, is when I have had a spiritual clarity or an ‘aha’ moment that releases suppressed internal energy – such as fears or the emotional remnants from the ups and downs that we all experience in this world of duality. Most of the time, no big drama goes on when this release comes about, perhaps a few tears are shed and a deep sense of gratitude follows.

These shifts have opened up a new way of  how I look at the  world that we think is ‘real’. I am finding  that reality is very fluid, that what we experience in the body and in our general life experiences is what we hold in mind, so the possibilities of creating potentials in our lives are limitless, we are after all God in expression.
