Ever wonder why you struggle with something over and over? You thought ‘it’ was gone. That addiction. The illness. The craving. The desire for more.
I hear you. Sometimes it can make you looney tunes when you pray, and ‘it’ goes away for a bit but then returns with a vengeance. You begin to doubt and question all that is. Instead of fighting, I’d like to invite you to DIVE in. DIVE into whatever ‘it’ is for you. What does it want to teach you? How can you LOVE this part of you that you may not LIKE?
Perhaps you could always feel the emotions and physical symptoms of others as if they were your own. If this rings true, you may be an “empath.” Only a small percentage of the population experience this type of sensitivity, having the ability to feel and absorb the emotions surrounding them. There are hundreds of books and movies on the subject.
Many of us have experienced praying for someone — their health, forgiveness, whatever the situation — and hearing from them acknowledging they thought of you or felt your prayers. Prayer is extremely powerful because it’s such a focused intention of words, thought and emotion, usually wrapped in gratitude. The person you are praying for often thinks of you or feels an extra touch of love.
I feel led to post this encouragement for anyone who is questioning whether they are on their ‘ right’ path. If you are alive, you are on your path! It might be messy, it may even be painful, but you are on YOUR path. You may even wonder how you can make it less messy or painful… Feel into and to the mess, the chaos, feel into the pain… What does it want to teach you? What do you still need to know?
What triggers you and makes you go from 0 to 100 in nothing flat? What exactly are triggers? To be triggered is to experience an emotional or physical reaction to something. People could trigger us. A smell. A place. A substance. It could be anything that is a reminder of something intense that happened to us.
Miracles happen every day with this beautiful prayer, called Hoʻoponopono. It’s an ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness used for healing, transformation, inner-peace and self-love.
