Whatever we say

Friday, May 29, 2015

Today's thought:  Whatever we say

Take a moment to reflect on the fact that whatever we say, we say to ourselves first.  The brain releases healthy or stressful chemicals that will flow throughout our bodies, depending on the state of our emotions at the time.  There may we times we may be able to fool others, if that is our wish, but we can never fool our brain that reacts and reflects automatically to thoughts, words, actions and events.

We can never hurt anyone without hurting ourselves first.  And we can never help anyone without helping ourselves first.  It is in our own best interests to practice peace, and it is in the best interests of the planet and all who live on it, that we practice peace.  Be kind.  We are, all of us, in need of kindness every day of our lives.

Wishing you the blessings of a peaceful and productive life.....and joy and love, always.

Love

Monday, May 18, 2015

Today's thought:  Love

When many of us think of love, we think of loving and caring for others.  It is equally, if not more important that we accept and love ourselves, just as we are at the moment, unconditionally.  Love is the great healer and as we love and heal ourselves, we are better able to love and help heal others.

At the end of Louise L. Hay's beautiful book, "Heal Your Body, A-Z," she has written a 'loving treatment' for all of us.  It would be in all our best interests to read, reread and practice this beautiful message until the words are ingrained in our minds and hearts.

Loving Treatment

"Deep at the Center of My Being, there is an infinite well of love.  I now allow this love to flow to the surface.  It fills my heart, my body, my mind, my consciousness, my very being and radiates out from me in all directions and returns to me multiplied.  The more love I use and give, the more I have to give; the supply is endless.  The use of love makes Me Feel Good; it is an expression of my inner joy.

'I love myself; therefore I take loving care of my body.  I lovingly feed it nourishing foods and beverages.  I lovingly groom it and dress it, and my body lovingly responds to me with vibrant health and energy.

'I love myself; therefore, I provide for myself a comfortable home, one that fills all my needs and is a pleasure to be in.  I fill the rooms with the vibration of love so that all who enter, myself included, will feel this love and be nourished by it.

'I love myself; therefore, I work at a job that I truly enjoy doing, one that uses my creative talents and abilities, working with and for people whom I love and who love me, and earning a good income.

'I love myself; therefore, I behave and think in a loving way to all people, for I know that that which I give out returns to me multiplied.  I only attract loving people in my world, for they are a mirror of what I am.

'I love myself; therefore, I forgive and totally release the past and all past experiences, and I am free.

'I love myself; therefore, I live totally in the now, experiencing each moment as good and knowing that my future is bright and joyous and secure, for I am a beloved child of the Universe, and the Universe lovingly takes care of me now and forevermore.  And, so it is."      Louise L. Hay

May your minds and hearts be filled to overflowing with peace, joy, and love, both for yourselves and for others.

Promises

Tuesday, May 12, 2015

Today's thought:  Promises

From Unity, promises to make to yourself:

"I promise myself to be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind;
to talk health, happiness, and prosperity;
to make my friends feel like there is something in them;
to look on the sunny side of everything;
to think only of the best;
to be as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own;
to forget the mistakes of the past and profit by them;
to wear a cheerful countenance and give a smile to everyone I meet;
to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble."

Wishing for you all the blessings contained in the promises.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Happy Mother's Day!

Let us be grateful for all those who played the role of mother in our lives, who cared enough to guide us into adulthood.  Let us remember them in our minds, hearts, and prayers, today and always.

Wishing all mothers and those who took on the mother role all the blessings your hearts can hold.....and peace, joy, and love, always.

Not everyone comes to stay.

Tuesday, May 5, 2015

Today's thought:  Not everyone comes to stay.

Sometimes friendships and relationships end before we feel we are ready to let them go.  If/when this happens in your life, and you feel unhappy about it, remember that we are here to learn from one another and to grow in wisdom.  Be grateful for how that relationship enriched your life, what you learned from that experience, and then let it go.  Not everyone comes into our lives to stay for the rest of our lives.  With an open mind and heart, those who can best enrich our lives will be drawn to us, and we will be attracted to those who are the best for us at that time.  Wisely choose those with whom you interact; those experiences become a part of who you are.

I sincerely wish only the very best for all of you, that your daily lives may be filled with joy, peace, and love.
Let the past go - that ship has sailed - and so have you, to a better space and place. Make the most of it.

World Laughter Day

Sunday, May 3, 2015

Today we celebrate World Laughter Day.  Laughter is beneficial to both our mental and physical health, and I hope you will all find reasons to laugh today and every day.  I am posting, once again, the lovely poem by Serene S. West:

Laughter

Laughter is a melody -
A concert from the heart -
A tickling by the angels -
Creative living art.

Laughter heals and comforts
It's sometimes gentle - sometimes bold.
Laughter is a freeing dance
Performed with the soul.
                        Serene S. West

Wishing you the gift of laughter.....and peace, joy, and love, always.
