Be Gentle With Yourself

8/5/2010

Good morning!
As I'm editing this site, updating, bring in new information- I have this message going through my head that I need to share.

It's simple- yet wise! "Be Gentle With Yourself"

It's so easy to fill ourselves and our thoughts with negativity, worry, stress, fears, chemicals, insults, etc.... We need to be more gentle with ourselves!

The other night as I was falling asleep, I seen in my mind a blanket made if soft creamy yellow light wrap falling onto me gently and wrapping me up in it's warmth and safety. I felt so safe and protected! I'm not sure where it came from but it felt so nurturing- you can do this kind of visualization for yourself. Affirm that you let go of anything harsh and negative- anything that is draining you of your true vitality. Invision that it is washed away, carried away, lifted away in a basket or with balloons- anything that works for you!

So please, be gentle with yourself and others as you would with a fragile child, flower, or precious belonging. Take care.

Need some help?

In times when I have felt lost and needed help, or felt like I needed a miracle, I have turned to prayer. One of my favourites is the prayer to St. Jude.

A website that explains the novena in greater detail is:

http://www.stjudenovena.org/stjudeprayers.html

Thank you St. Jude for helping me through rough times in my life! It works, if you believe. :)

"May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be Adored, Glorified, Loved & Preserved throughout the world, now & forever.  Sacred Heart of Jesus, please pray for me.  Saint Jude, Worker of Miracles, please pray for me.  Saint Jude, Helper of the Hopeless, please pray for me.  Amen."

"O most holy apostle, St. Jude, faithful servant and friend of Jesus, people honor and invoke you universally, as the patron of hopeless cases, of things almost despaired of. Pray for me, for I am so helpless and alone.   Please help to bring me visible and speedy assistance. Come to my assistance in this great need that I may receive the consolation and help of heaven in all my necessities, tribulations, and sufferings, particularly (state your request) and that I may praise God with you always."

"I promise, O blessed St. Jude, to be ever mindful of this great favor, to always honor you as my special and powerful patron, and to gratefully encourage devotion to you by publishing this request. Amen."

Finding Hope

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer. I've learnt quite a bit during mine.
1) A perception of perfection-- We should love something not because we think it is perfect but because we realize nothing is perfect and so we choose to embrace the imperfections with unconditional affection. In the end, this new perspective on perfection will help avoid future disapointments.
2) Expectations- When we hold on too tightly to an idea of what we 'expect' to happen, it can lead to huge disapointment when it doesn't turn out just like it did in our heads. I think its safer and much less stressful to have dreams and ideas of what would be wonderful, but not depend on them happening in that exact way to bring us happiness. Definately expect the unexpected. Let go a little, and you'll get a lot more than you would when you hang onto a limited idea of what 'should be'.
3) When all else seems hopeless, it's our own strength and faith that can get us through. It definately helps to have others to encourage us, or give us little words of wisdom to keep our negative thoughts away, but in times when all else seems lost- that's when it is most important to rely on ourselves, our strength, our resiliency, and faith in what we believe. We need to stand up for what we believe in, and believe in ourselves along the way.

On that note I'm going to share a quote that's on a beautiful affirmation flag that my sister gave me, that's now hanging in my living room:

"We can not do great things in this world. We can only do small things with great love." - Mother Theresa

Thank you Mother Theresa for this reminder that it's not how large of a deed we accomplish, or how big of a step we take, its the faith and love in which we carry with us with each step, no matter how big or small. When we do things with love for ourselves and others, the rewards are priceless.

Thank you for listening. More thoughts to come, as always.

Radiate Love.
