Retraining the Body

I am grateful to learn how to retrain my body in addition to retraining my mind.

Everyone I know is grateful to learn how to retrain their body in addition to retraining their mind.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is grateful to learn how to retrain their body in addition to retraining their mind.

————————-

As I explore the new techniques which release me to live the life I desire to live, I have noticed that my body still retains many of its reactions to old situations even though they no longer occur.

I realized that the deep physical impressions have to be consciously retrained in order to be released as well.

As I have taken the steps to retrain my mind to choose the things that make me happy, I can now release my body to have calmer and happier experiences.

The specific behaviors of my parents are becoming clearer to me as I search for solutions.

I am able to put in words what those behaviors meant, and to give myself new words in order to give myself my desired release.

I no longer have to live in those situations, and I no longer have to act out my response to them in my body.

My body is free to respond to my current self-chosen, self-directed life, and I can enjoy myself, body and soul.

This is a new revelation to me and a very welcome step.

Time to Reflect

I am so grateful for time to reflect.

Everyone I know is so grateful for time to reflect.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet is so grateful for time to reflect.

——————

With time to reflect, I can feel what is important to me.

I am not just pushed around by my surroundings and the opinions of other people.

I can feel the deep peace and listen for what is truly mine.

I can feel the presence of guidance and the quiet urge to take the first and then the next steps.

I see the reassurance of billions of leaves on thousands of trees and see how each leaf gets its maximum good exposure to the sun, turning itself.

It fulfills its role to create oxygen and to serve one of its many purposes on the earth.

I, too, have the reassurance of turning myself to the Source of all good ideas, and I, too, can follow my inner guidance to fulfill my purpose on the earth.

I notice how the leaves do not create movement for themselves.

They move at the urging of the wind, and the swaying of their tree.

Sometimes they move a lot, sometimes only a little, sometimes not at all.

They continue fulfilling their role, nonetheless.

I, too, sometimes act, sometimes, listen, sometimes meditate.

I am fulfilling my role.

Reflection lets me know this.

Quiet assurance gives me the only security I need.

Changes in the Weather

I am grateful for the weather and its changes.

Everyone I know is grateful for the weather and its changes.

Everyone I don’t even know all over the planet, is grateful for the weather and its changes.

——————-

We have had extremes in the weather.

For several years we had drought conditions.

For the last several weeks there has been so much rain, I wondered when the new garden plants would ever see sunlight.

The changes in the weather give us a perspective in how to balance our lives.

Sometimes there is a lot of work on a project.

But it is not yet time for it to launch.

However, when everything is completed and it is the right time, it will launch.

The overarching, long-term weather conditions do indicate trends.

We learn to adjust our step, to prepare ourselves for changes.

We learn not to take things for granted.

We may even learn new skills.

When we learn to keep our balance under changing circumstances, we also learn that other people are going through the same kinds of situations.

We become more compassionate as we all take on new views and gain new skills.

Weather changes can keep us alert about our life in general, and help us be supportive of those who are also facing changes in their lives.
