Remake Yourself…Try it~YOU CAN Do IT!

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world… as in being able to remake ourselves.

Mahatma Gandhi

The more I spiritually grow I find myself to be constantly remaking me–myself. What this means to me is the more I practice surrender, stay in the present moment, and open myself to my greatness, each month, week and day, the more I am not the same person I was yesterday, last week, or last month. Oh yes, I still look the same on the outside, but with each practice step I become freer to be my authentic God-self. In other words, life becomes easier and more peaceful. My struggles, fears and pains are less and less. I am able to look at the bigger picture, feel my power and see the Divine in my life, rather than be a victim.
Just recently, I had two different experiences of living in ‘the quiet’. The first one was in the form of an outer expression of that horrible flu-virus that lasted two weeks. I had flu like symptoms of chills to my bones so bad that all I could do was lay bundled up for several hours until a high fever would come on that also lasted for hours. Both of these symptoms were so extreme as to incapacitate me to the point of not being able to do much of anything, including watch TV, be on the Internet or talk on the phone. About all I could do was sleep, drink [hot for chills or cold for fever] and only eat light foods, You know the saying, ‘Starve a Fever”, Warm soup was my salvation.

But guess what I could do while I lay there, THINK- FEEL – REMAKE! Since I firmly know NO-THING bad ever happens to me, I began to explore what this experience had to offer me in the way of gifts. Oh boy, did I ever learn a lot about ME. I looked up in Louise Hay book, You Can Heal Your Life, to find that chills was an indication of “Mental contraction, pulling away and in. Desire to retreat. Leave me alone’! and fever indicated, ‘Anger. Burning Up’ and Influenza, “Response to mass negativity and beliefs. Fear. Belief in statistics’.—interesting to say the least. Like our whole country is feeling the pains of our seemingly messy economy. Yes, I too was concerned about money! One of the first realizations to come was about self-care and the importance of nurturing oneself. I realized I had been through a lot over the past six months, The breakup of a relationship and leaving a beautiful home to start all over again, plus the physical move and a surgery. I had been unaware of how stressed I had been feeling, You might call this a spiritual bypass, Despite knowing on one level that all is in divine order, I sometimes forget my humanness and suppress my feelings—becoming like an ever-ready battery…I just keep on going. As a person who is very self-motivated and can keep very busy., it was clear to me I needed what I call the Cosmic Two-by-four –meaning I had been asking to play life on a bigger scale and wham, I had not allowed myself to stop and smell the roses. The flu shut me down and got my attention!

I had time to re-valuate and see where I was putting my energy and to see who and what I was aligning myself with in my personal and business life. I became aware of over-committing myself and the need to for changes in the way I was doing some things. I practiced setting my boundaries and letting go of self-imposed feelings with regard to what I was obligated to do/be and what I thought others expected of me. In all that sleeping, I had dreams which really helped me get in touch with repressed feelings. I was able to do Radical Forgiveness worksheets to shift my “stuck” energy. I am grateful for this time of ‘remaking’ me and allowing the Universe to attract and open ways to better take care of me and love myself. I was able to make some new choices for my business and some changes occurred naturally while I was affirming my desire to be of service to others.

‘The OATH’

‘In the face of adversity, uncertainty and conflicting sensory information, I hereby pledge to remain ever mindful of the magical, infinite, loving reality I live in. A reality that conspires tirelessly in my favor. I further recognize that living within space and time, as a Creation amongst my Creations, is the ultimate Adventure; because, thoughts become things, dreams come true, and all things remain forever possible. As a Being of Light, I hereby resolve to live, love and be happy, at all costs, no matter what, with reverence and kindness for All. So be it!”
