NEW ATTITUDES... NEW POSSIBILITIES |
|||||
|
Each one of us is an artist, a creator, and our life is our canvas -- our emotions, thoughts and actions are the palette from which we create the panorama of our lives. If our life is not as we would like, then we need to fill it with the things that we need and crave -- love, purpose, inspiration, laughter, joy, and intimacy with the people in our lives and with the world of nature around us. This issue assists you in looking at the world of relationships -- whether with others, with ourselves, with nature, or with our "destiny". We are not in this life "by accident" -- we are here with a purpose, with soul growth to accomplish, and with self-healing and awareness of Self to attain. All of this growth takes place one "now" at a time... as we pay attention to the moments of our life as they happen... not by hanging on to the past, or living in fear of the future. Awareness of our moment to moment experiences, our relationships with ourself, with others, and with nature, will keep us on the path of our life purpose. Each one of us is unique and a needed part of the whole... Each one of us is a piece of the bigger picture... What picture do we choose to create now? With love and best wishes from our InnerSelf to yours... *******************************************************

We all are unique individuals -- like trees in a forest. Trees are similar yet different and together they make a beautiful forest. Honor your differences. Honor your strengths and weaknesses for that is who you truly are. Yes, work on improving bad habits but love yourself along the way. Accept yourself as you are, for you truly are an unique and perfect person right now. All is well, Child of God. ~ Shari Rathman ~ This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it |

When
a woman and man join, the coming together of bodies is the least of the
meetings taking place. The minds of the two people are merging with all of
their desires, aversions and thoughts. The souls of the individuals are
uniting, bringing together all of their hopes, dreams, sorrows; past,
present and future.
Psychoanalyst
Heinz Kohut identified three kinds of relationship experience. The first...in
which another affirms the validity of our strivings, secures our soul. The
second in which somebody appears to be everything we would like to become,
challenges our soul. The third, in which we experience another person as
"just like us," befriends our soul. 
To
develop awareness in daily life, we strive to be awake and centered in the
present, clearly knowing at each moment what we are doing. For instance, if
thoughts, plans, or memories arise, the mind is aware of them...
One
of the best ways to heal a physical problem or reduce emotional stress is to
interrupt our daily routines with experiences that reacquaint us with
Nature. As we are swept up, captivated, and enthralled by the displays of
Nature, we sense the immutable balance that is our own source of creation,
our Spirit.
Among
traditional peoples, when a woman enters the last trimester of her
pregnancy, shamans of her community place her in a deep state of trance. The
shamans then connect with the spirit of the child coming into life, and they
speak to it: "Who are you? Why are you coming into our village? What is your
life purpose?"
