We all want deeper connections. What we benefit from knowing is that the source of the deeper connections we seek is a deeper connection with ourself. When we're deeply connected to ourself, we're deeply connected to everyone else.

Seeing ourself in others 13:19

1h ago13:19

13:19

Our perception of others is a projection of ourself. We can only recognize in others what we have in ourself. Otherwise we could not relate to or identify with others.

The more I learn, understand and relate to what it means to be ONE with all that exists, the more I understand the role empathetic healing can play in increasing my acceptance of being ONE.

Making every day fresh and new 3:11

If we're growing spiritually, growing in our self acceptance, then every day is new. If it's not, it's a sign there is growth available to us.

We've all had something that has worked for us in life. Identifying that allows us to choose to do more of what works for us, finding solutions. For me it's persistance and meditation. I ask myself.

Benefits of walking our path 11:57

Unique physical healing 9:34

We need to take ownership of our skills and talents to realize more of the benefit of employing them.

Becoming increasingly positive 11:33

11:33

By accepting the existence of negative thoughts and choosing not to act on them, they're losing their power and increasingly being replaced by positive thoughts including gratitude.

Advancing global consciousness 12:43

12:43

Global consciousness is advanced by accepting 2 thoughts. First, the only way to satisfy our need for power is to gain power over ourselves.

When we identify with and relate to that truth we c…

Creating help in our life 13:32

2M ago13:32

13:32

Anything that uplifts us, uplifts everyone. When we ask for help that will lift us up, often we need to honestly and fairly articulate how the person supplying that help will benefit as well.

It is so very important to have a way that works for us to determine what and who we should trust. For me, my validation method is a deep inner congruence in my body.
