Once Upon a Time There Was Emotional Healing

Three Magic Secrets  to Emotional Healing

It is our job to change our own lives.  It cannot be left to other people or to the world around us. We cannot push our lives back until we have money, or feel secure in relationships. We have to start our emotional healing now.

Three Magic Secrets necessary to change your life:Magic Secret #1 - Life Is a School - Every newspaper and TV station and internet news are all freaking out about the economy, the environment, the politicians, etc. Well, that is their job as they see it. But our job is to ignore all that and remember Life Is a School. Why do we want to ignore it or at least not get too focused on it? Because our predominant state of being creates our reality and if our predominant state of being is some sort of freak out, then that's what we will create in our lives. Not only is Life Is a School on the individual level but the level of state, country, planet, Universe. We are here to learn. If everyone is freaking out, then we create more to be freaked out about. Like attracts like. And from that perspective we've done quite a good job of it. What I want to learn and I am suggesting you learn too, is how to be as authentically me as possible and how to change my attitude as quickly as possible which leads me to say that on both an individual and global level we all create a better world which is why I endorsed Obama. He seemed to supply hope to many people. It's a much happier attractor than fear will ever be - or at least we'll like the results more.

Magic Secret #2 - Friend In-Deed - Don't underestimate the impact of who you keep close to you  in your life on your attitude. If the people you hang out with are into positive change, it'll make it easier for you to be into it too.  If the people you hang out with are critical and complaining, guess what? That's the direction you will likely find yourself going in. If they focus on negativity and on the past and all that was wrong with it, remind them and yourself now is the time for change!

Magic Secret #3 - My Cup Runneth Over - Yup. Gratitude. The easiest way to activate the Law of Attraction in your direction, The easiest way to change your attitude and easily focus on now . Gratitude can open the door to your own emotional healing, let go of anger, and allow wonderful things to transpire in your life.

As my book says, "And with those Magic Secrets you too will discover how to find the sparkle, the light, the joy, find who you were when you were very first born." (page 35, Once Upon a Time There Was You: Three Magic Secrets for Finding Your Real Self .

Are the 12-Steps enough?

I am a friend of Bill W. If that doesn't mean anything to you, then you might want to skip this article - or not. Around the world there are many self-help organizations that have formed to help various forms of addiction. Many of them - maybe most of them - are based on the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous.

 

The program within those pages have helped countless people get their addictions handled and have helped them get their lives more together. I am one of those people. Almost 34 years ago I began steadfastly using what I learned there and the results are phenomenal. I consider the spiritual program the basis of my life.

But I felt led to find additional ways to grow to support what I learned there. Many do that. And I believe for most of us it is necessary if we truly want to grow into the fullest person that we have the ability to be. I don't believe "The Program" really addresses our emotional selves fully. It does in many ways but I know I need tools to process my emotions fully so that I can relieve myself of any emotional backlog accumulated over my life time and which, to some degree, continues to run my life.

The Big Book was written in 1935. There has been and evolution of consciousness and information that has blossomed since that time having to do with our emotional selves. Many people are trying to deal with it with prescription medication offered by the medical world to deal with feelings. Personally, I don't believe that really solves it. (I am neither doctor or psychologist. This is strictly my opinion based on observation of myself, clients, friends, family and my natural inclinations. So any 12-Steppers out there who feel it necessary to add additional sources of help the their program of recovery, my blessings go with you and I am one of you.
