It is time to be BACK !!!!
During
the past 4 weeks I have been on a self imposed RETREAT and I can tell
you "It has been amazingly empowering". I have been doing several half
days of "silent meditation" (totally silent-- very hard for me...LOL),
many practices of mindfulness, including mindful walking
meditation, mindful eating and of course my regular daily meditations.
My husband and I have been taking trips (last weekend to the Florida
Strawberry Festival -- even strawberry pizza?...wow!) and we are
planning a few more soon. It has been LIBERATING...
I
have been going to group coaching to improve the way I confront the
challenges in my life. The people I have met have given me lessons that
I never
acquired in any of my college education courses. Even the class that I
am taking at my coaching school has been sent as a MIRACLE class for
me-- Inner Freedom. My coach and my classmates have given me not only
understanding, but priceless
experiences that have allowed me to visualize positive outcomes FOR
ME!!!! Also, I have put out my
INTENTION to receive anything that the Universe could provide me ---
the seminars and courses, the books, the people, friends and the words
that will expand my mind to be responsible for my own growth and
happiness. At the same time I have learned not to allow my thoughts rob
me of the peace that is my birthright. Many surprises have been received
every single day...
I'm
very aware that this is a
work in progress, and there is much more to learn, and I am very
excited to receive my life as it is because I know
that every experience (joy or pain) is not a bump in the road, but a
mountain of experience and a great opportunity to grow. Many times we
could not see the lesson on the experience, but by giving our pain to a
higher power and understanding that the control is not in our hands
(SURRENDER), we will find the lesson on that experience at the
appropriate time --- and that is usually not our position to decide. The
answer or the lesson could come tomorrow, it could come next week, it
could come in 2 years or maybe it will never
come, and I'm okay with that because I SURRENDER and I trust that
everything will be what I need in my life to grow. As someone recently
told me, "The Universe will never send you something that you are not
ready to receive". That was an AHA MOMENT for me..... wow and wow!
The
thing that I have learned is that, by allowing SURRENDER into my life, I
also have the power to take actions that will bring well-being to my
life. Those actions taken are exactly that ---- Actions, and not
reactions to the events. Many of them are painful, but you know in your
heart that it is
exactly what SURRENDER really means--- not knowing the outcome, but
trusting that the
Universe will work for the required outcome, even if we do not like it. I will enjoy every moment of my life because that's all I have to enjoy--- my PRESENT MOMENT. I do not gain anything by complaining about yesterday, I do not gain anything by trying to control my tomorrow, but I get peace and joy by appreciating what I have NOW. I am working on my "Let it BE"... are you willing to try as well?
So I will start
again to post on the AwarenessWisdom Page with my DESIRE and INTENTION to touch at least the life of one person
each day ---- that is my purpose in life and I am EMPOWERED to at least
do my best every day--- that's good enough for me--- "Always do your
best", lesson from Don Miguel Ruiz, THE FOUR AGREEMENTS...
and SO IT IS.....
and SO IT IS.....
