Your Sweet Heart

As you know, I am a recovering worrywart.  And as you have no-doubt heard, worry does not help anything.  And as you also no-doubt know, knowing that worry doesn’t help, is not enough to stop your worrying.  

Right? 

What does help?

This time honored meditation works.

Heart Breathing  

Sit quietly.  Phone off etc.  Breathe slowly and easily.   

Feel your fear, your worry.  See the images.  Now breathe all that into your heart.  I know, “Yikes.”  But trust me, your heart will be fine. 

Let your heart soften.  And continue to breathe in the worry, the fear, the pain. 

When you feel you have taken in as much as you can, you can start to exhale loving kindness phrases. 

For instance –

        May I be blessed.

        May she be blessed.

        May I be at peace.

        May I be safe and loved.

        May she be at peace. 

        May she be safe and loved.

You can make up any phrase that feels good to you.  Or if you’re worried about someone else, ask yourself what whould bless them.  Are you with me? 

Keep on with all of this until you feel at home and at peace in your heart. 

OK?

These Two Books Can Guide Your Heart 

I recommend reading Legacy of the Heart : The Spiritual Advantage of a Painful Childhood by Wayne Muller first. 

Muller is kind, gentle, and in your face truth telling at the same time.  He is a therapist and has a masters in divinity or the like.  He quotes Jesus, Buddha, Steven Levine, The Dalai Lama, and Rumi…  All my heroes. 

He offers the most useful meditations I have found for healing shame.  I recommend this highly. 

Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chodron. 

This lovely book deals with what it’s like to be human and having to live with uncertainty all the time.  The 108 teachings are one to one and half pages long.  I like to read a couple before bed. 

Walk in beauty, and may your sweet heart be at ease,

Breakthrough with this Magical Phrase

I discovered a very powerful phrase to help you create a life you would love to live. 

Warning:  Just because this is SIMPLE, don’t be deceived.  This incredibly powerful tool can change your life.

Here it is –

“I just ask, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if…’, and then I fill in the blank,” he explained. “Then I let go. More often than not, the thing I mentioned comes into my life.” - Chuck Pennington

In my generation, the word “cool’ works very well.  If cool doesn’t work for you, come up with something else.  The idea is to find a word that’s light, inviting, and fun.  Playful.  OK?

The construction of the sentence automatically does three things –

1.   Makes it light and playful, cool.

2.   Easily, allows you to let go of the request.  Letting go is one of the main steps in the law of attraction you may recall.

3.   When you fill in the blank, you make a picture and feel the results of the goal all at once.  Try it.  Notice what you feel and what you image.

Try some.  Make up some “wouldn’t it be cool ifs_______?”

Here’s one – Wouldn’t be cool if I had lots of energy?  Notice the energy you feel just saying it?

Craig’s List Magic 

One of my beloved clients uses this principle and then goes to Craig’s List (an online free classified ad service) where she immediately finds that which  would be cool.  Every time. 

Sabbatical Insight

As you know, I closed down my Body & Soul Mentor website recently.   

I asked myself, “If you create another membership site, what do you want to offer people…  What do you want people to have?  And how does that contribute to the world as a whole.” 

What was clear is that I wanted the same things I always want. 

1.   I want people to live lives they love wholeheartedly – body and soul.

2.   I want people to make a difference in their world and to be happily satisfied making that difference.  I want people to know they make a difference.

3.   I want a world that works for everyone.  I want people to make decisions that consider the consequences of their decisions on the 7^th generation to follow.

Now, here’s the cool part.

Fact. When people live lives they love, they are using their gifts and talents.  And when people use their gifts they make a difference in the world.  When a sufficient number of people do that then we have a world that works for everyone.

So…

Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone made decisions based on what’s best for the seventh generation to follow?

Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone made decisions that led to a world that worked for everyone?

 

Here’s one I’m working on now –

Wouldn’t it be cool if I didn’t have to impress anyone, and I could just be ordinary?

As Prayer

I use this magical phrase to pray for clients and other loved ones. 

For instance, wouldn’t it be cool if Sasha had tons of clients to help finance her college expenses?

What are you going to do with your one precious life?

What would be cool for you?  Make a bunch of these.  Say them all day long.  Use them to antidote limiting thoughts.  Use them to create a life you love wholeheartedly. 

Wouldn’t it be cool if you walked in beauty?
