Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Hey and others - I went out of town for my job Thursday night (which is rare), so I did not have time to post. On forgiveness, most of my life I have been one of those people who, instead of getting angry, I tend to get hurt, and turn the blame towards myself. And if I did get angry, I would immediately feel regret and turn the blame onto myself even more for getting angry in the first place (guilt?) But I am getting clear that setting boundaries is sometimes necessary if you want the hurtful behavior to stop altogether. We have to at least stand up for ourselves. One of my favorite ways to do that now is the simple question, " What did you mean by that? " I find it to be very effective. I did the 5 Tibetans twice and noticed that it really makes me feel better. I am going to try to do this every morning, along with prayers and practicing gratitude and forgiveness. And try to meditate every night. I sometimes do visualizations. And on service to others - I feel like I am spending most of my day doing this. It is my job, actually. On healing, right now I would like to heal my own emotional hurts and fears. But also, my brother recently had his retina detach and has had several eye surgeries, and I wish for his sight to be restored. On feeling this emotional high like Stephen is doing - I haven't gotten there yet. But I try to stay in a relatively good mood and lately, even this is making me uncomfortable because so many people I know are living in such terrible living conditions right now that they are very angry and unhappy. They are like those people Stephen was talking about who, you can just tell, are thinking, " What are YOU so happy about? " And in their cramped living conditions with relatives in FEMA trailers and apartments and torn up houses, I can understand where they are coming from. Being too happy around them would almost seem rude, as strange as that may sound. Kind of like laughing at a funeral. But, they will get back in their houses eventually, so it won't last forever. My feeling is that a lot of good will come out of this. I look forward to the day when they are able to experience it. I will start visualizing that. Well, those are my thoughts for today! I think that Mike and Sam would make great partners in a triad. I hope they feel the same. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Deb, It's great to be your partner, too. I felt you last night very clearly in the circle with Mike. We were holding hands and sending energy out for healing. I will have your brother's retina in my prayers and send him healing energies. I have been sending my friend Terry energy. He has prostate cancer that has returned. He is pretty scared but it is clear to me that he can heal if he so desires (with devine help.) I just funnel the energy to him and he gets to do with it what he wants. I also do service most everyday. It is a regular part of my life. When I grew up it was never a part of my training or life. Sorry I missed out on this for so long. Gratitude is also a daily part of my life and forgiveness is just so wonderful a way to shape the day I can't believe it.

I appreciate you sending out healing to my brother and I will do the same for your friend Terry. In fact - already did it before responding! I am assuming that it is normal procedure for triads to meditate/pray/visualize with each other being together towards similar intentions every day. I think this is a great idea. Looking forward to this. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 Yes Deb it is working in a trinity that will help evoke the inner trinity. As far as your joy goes, the issues that effect others in, sometimes prologned and painful ways can be helped towards alleviation inside the dynamic energetic field of a person who is radiating joy. So radiate your happiness and know that whether you notice it or not you are having a positive effect on the people you are around. It snot rubbing their noses in it there is no competition for joy. It is an attitude of freedom. Of strength and a connection to divinity that is best honored. It is said that misery wants company. So does joy as demonstrated with the infectious quality of laughter - blessings and copious joy to you deb - chrism I am assuming that it is normal procedure for triads to meditate/pray/visualize with each other being together towards similar intentions every day. I think this is a great idea. Looking forward to this. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Hi Deb, Can relate to what you are saying about the guilt and anger I used to do the same thing, but about the happiness, when we hold the light and shine it for all to see we can lift others spirits even when they are in a dark place, or just downtrodden. Being happy lifts others, it may take a while but it always permeates outwards. So, just keep on radiating, others will be grateful that you did in the long term. Much love Elektra x x x PS At my grandmas funeral I can remember telling my old relatives a very naughty joke, and they all rolled over laughing, their eyes lit up, it's good to be happy, even at a funeral x x x @@ But I try to stay in a relatively good mood and lately, even this is making me uncomfortable because so many people I know are living in such terrible living conditions right now that they are very angry and unhappy. They are like those people Stephen was talking about who, you can just tell, are thinking, " What are YOU so happy about? " And in their cramped living conditions with relatives in FEMA trailers and apartments and torn up houses, I can understand where they are coming from. Being too happy around them would almost seem rude, as strange as that may sound. Kind of like laughing at a funeral. @@ Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
