Week No. 02

I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.

 
  • Welcome, welcome, welcome.

    I welcome everything that comes to me today because I know it is for my healing.

    I welcome all thoughts, feelings, emotions, persons, situations, and conditions.

    I let go of my desire for power and control.

    I let go of my desire for affection, esteem, approval and pleasure.

    I let go of my desire for survival and security.

    I let go of my desire to change any situation, condition, person or myself.

    I open to the love and presence of God and God’s action within.

    Amen.

 

 

Quote Of The Day

There are two extremes to avoid: being completely absorbed in your pain and being distracted by so many things that you stay far away from the wound you want to heal.
— Henri J. Nouwen
 

Song Of The Day

 

 

Prompt Of The Day

Considering Nouwen’s quote about the extremes to avoid when dealing with pain… which extreme are you more likely to fall into — total avoidance/distraction or total absorption? And how?

    Build around Rasa’s viewing the thoughts on the movie screen / watching the traffic go by (Headspace)

    Write a bit about my realization that talking ABOUT healing is not the same as healing. (i.e. trying to give to others what you have not experienced yourself.)
