Do you ever do self growth exercises at workshops and stick the written outcomes on the fridge for further reference then forget about them for a few years??? I do. Strangely though, when I do eventually look at them again, I often find that subconsciously I have worked on these issue and gained ground. This happened recently and I though I would share a few comments with you. They might apply to someone out there. It was an exploration of the 'Four Directions":
AIR
"Concentrated thoughts about what I am not clog up the channel of creative flow. I must cease to dwell on what is wrong with me and my life and at the same time cease to attempt to grope for thoughts about what is right to counteract that. Instead I will be open to what is, and allow what needs to occur to flow through me If I give myself every opportunity to allow spirit to flow through me, it will."
EARTH
Everyone that lives has limitations through being physical. One set of limitations is no more perfect than any other. There is no 'right' set of parameters to define a human life. Those limitations define you but only in each moment. The parameters of the past do not need to define you now. Live more fully in this moment and savour it. The opportunities it presents are only available in each now and are gone as soon as it is.
WATER
Do not become hooked onto the rocks of trauma. Feelings must flow on, ever moving, ever fresh. Flow over, around and through the trauma into the next new experience with the new set of feelings associated with it. Don't suffer over the past and miss the present.
SPIRIT SPEAKS
" I can take it all from you. I am the refiners fire. Spirit is beyond "Times Tide". When you step into spirit, the river of past memory need hold no sway over you. Then I can unlock the kernel of potential in each of your moments, for you to savour and appreciate life fully."
Humm! Advice I still need to heed and probably always will. Blessings Sparrowhawk
