Elizabeth H.	July 15, 2009 12:24 PM Healing is not forcing the sun to shine, but letting go of that which blocks the light.” ~ Stephen and Ondrea Levine “Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.” ~ Sai Baba [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	April 24, 2009 5:03 PM Simply bring your awareness inside to who (or what) is watching and listening to this amazing movie your mind is creating. Then, hold your attention on how you'd LOVE your dream life to look, feel, taste and smell. Be sure to include all the juicy details ... this is the fun part! Tell this Divine Dreamer inside you that the impossible is about to come true! [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	day to day matters in your way April 22, 2009 6:49 PM The importance of what is taking place on Earth will hardly register with the majority of people, as they are completely tied up with earthly matters. Yet, the incoming energies of Light are doing their best to awaken them to what is really happening. It is one thing to be fully immersed in day-to-day experiences, but time must be found to sit back in relative peace and allow the Higher Self to communicate with you. It will be an uplifting experience where you can intuitively understand what is being given to you. Talk about your immediate concerns and worries, and listen carefully to the answers. Finding time to do this will also benefit you by bringing about a change within Self, one that reduces stress and allows for a relaxing peace to come to you. Use soothing music that is pure and ideal for meditation, and you will find that it will enhance your experience. Simply doing so for even a short period will help you maintain a healthy body free from stress. [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	December 22, 2008 9:12 PM "There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we crave most in life -- happiness, freedom, and peace of mind -- are always attained by giving them to someone else." ~ Peyton Conway March [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	December 14, 2008 4:17 PM "Through intense deep meditation you reach a state that is beyond thought, beyond change, beyond imagination, beyond differences and duality. Once you can stay in that state for a while and come out of it without losing any of it, then the inner divine love will begin to pour through you. You will not see people as different, separate individuals. You will see your own Self in everyone around you. Then the flow of love from within you will be constant and unbroken." ~Swami Muktananda [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	December 14, 2008 4:06 PM Words of Wisdom “Plant the seeds of love in your heart. Let them grow into trees of service and shower the sweet fruit of Ananda. Share the Ananda with all. That is the proper way to celebrate.” ~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba “To sustain spiritual life, we need one another’s eyes and hearts as surely as we need help creating food and shelter.” ~ Jack Kornfield [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	December 14, 2008 4:05 PM Pure Identity with the Supreme Being This is not the meditation of devotees, who prefer to keep a dualist consciousness of worshipper and the worshipped, of lover and beloved, adorer and adored object. This is a different type of meditation altogether. It is called the pure Advaitic meditation, and it goes a step beyond the nameless and formless Being, beyond a ray meditating upon the sun. Here, there is no ray, no drop, no individual being, no meditator and meditated object, only One beyond all distinctions.... I am the Supreme Reality. And thus meditating upon oneself as infinite eternal being, one seeks to enter into a consciousness of non-dual, pure identity with the Supreme Being. H.H. Swami Chidananda Saint and Spiritual Master if you can ever achieve this, you will never forget it..I was there once and have since lacked the discipline to quiet my mind long enough.

Elizabeth H.	September 05, 2008 2:38 PM Words of Wisdom “Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. Between the two my life flows.” ~Nisargadatta Maharaj "Emotions consist of energy plus a story. If we let go of the story, only the energy is left.” ~Trumpa Rimpoche “The depth of your breath is an extension of the expansiveness of your soul. With each inhale you open your heart; with each exhale you stretch your being. Breathing in . . . breathing out. Always reaching beyond your heart, your body, your very essence . . . beyond that which existed only moments before." ~davidji [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	August 14, 2008 3:09 PM On this day of your life, I believe God wants you to know... ...that a hunch is angel talk, and probably should not be ignored. Listen to your hunches, pay attention to your intuition, do not dismiss your random thoughts, inspirations or ideas. Heaven talks in snippets, not in speeches. Angels whisper fast. They have to when they're flying around... Honor your Hints from Heaven. They could be giving you the best advice you ever had. [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	August 14, 2008 2:20 PM Emotions are one of your strong characteristics, and your task is to manage them in a positive way. If you allow anger and other negative expressions, these will diminish the power of your Light. As you become more enlightened, you will find that even the slightest signs of negative feelings will be immediately noticeable. Quickly dismiss them and relax, and through your breathing restore balance and harmony. You will not take long to master these techniques, and will find that you can exercise complete control over yourself. [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	Explore July 18, 2008 9:32 PM There is much unexplored potential in each human being. We are not just flesh and bone or an amalgamation of conditionings. If this were so, our future on this planet would not be very bright. But there is infinitely more to life, and each passionate being who dares to explore beyond the fragmentary and superficial into the mystery of totality helps all humanity perceive what it is to be fully human. Revolution, total revolution, implies experimenting with the impossible. And when an individual takes a step in the direction of the new, the impossible, the whole human race travels through that individual. Vimala Thakar Spiritual teacher and author [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	March 20, 2008 9:17 PM "By choosing your thoughts, and by selecting which emotional currents you will release and which you will reinforce, you determine the quality of your Light.

Elizabeth H.	March 05, 2008 12:18 PM Many Hands Lighten Burdens Chronic pain is a community concern as well as a personal concern....We share a responsibility to ourselves and the community as a whole to do our part. Whether we speak at a treatment center, lead a support group, further educate the community about chronic pain, or reach out to others who are in pain, we will be sharing the responsibility. We may never rid ourselves or anyone else of pain - but together we can share our responsibilities and learn to cope with our pain one day at a time. [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	February 15, 2008 8:56 AM GENIUS By Dr. John Demartini Millions of people worldwide dream of making a "good" living, of attaining great wealth and living an extraordinary and fortunate life. However, they haven't yet found a way of attaining it and they fear they can only attain such a life at the expense of others, and by compromising their higher spiritual values and virtuous nature.

Elizabeth H.	January 19, 2008 1:59 PM "Think of a rose from the time it is a tiny bud. As it opens to full flower till the last petal falls, it is always beautiful, always perfect, always changing. So it is with us. We are always perfect, always beautiful, and ever-changing. We are doing the best we can with the understanding, awareness and knowledge we have. As we gain more understanding, awareness and knowledge, then we will do things differently." — Louise Hay, from You Can Heal Your Life [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	January 18, 2008 12:57 PM Quantum Physics 101 The present is defined by a confluence of your thoughts, otherwise known as your beliefs. T The future is what you experience when your beliefs change. Time measures how much energy or effort you require to change your thoughts, or, the degree of conflict between old and new thinking. And space shows exactly what you're now thinking about. And the one, universal, immovable, unifying equation that sums up all things physical and metaphysical, is.... Thoughts Become Things.

Elizabeth H.	January 10, 2008 4:22 PM The sign said "eight items or less." So I changed my name to Les. - Steven Wright Roller Coaster Days Having chronic pain can seem like being on a roller coaster, at least in the beginning. One day we're able to go for a walk, work a full day or even exercise, and the next day we're paralyzed...When our pain no longer controls us and we begin to manage it, our ride will come to an end. We will discover there can be a balance in managing our pain. We will come to know our limitations and our strengths and weaknesses. We will discover we have more control over managing our pain that we once thought. [ send green star]
Elizabeth H.	December 30, 2007 6:30 PM "Each of us is here to discover our true selves; that essentially we are spiritual beings who have taken manifestation in physical form; that we're not human beings that have occasional spiritual experiences, that we're spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences." - Deepak Chopra [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	December 05, 2007 6:05 PM "Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you criticize them, you are a mile away from them and you have their shoes." *- Jack Handey* New Attitude, New Options How many times have we said, "I can't do that anymore?" For some things this may be true; for others we don't know unless we try. In our early stages of learning to manage our pain...we were consumed by fear. When we tried to do something, the result was "I can't." We had found our safety net, a way of protecting ourselves. As we learn to manage our pain, we will better understand our limitations. Our attitude will shift from one of fear to one of "I might not be able to do that, but I'll try another way." With this change of attitude comes a change in options. [ send green star]

Elizabeth H.	October 24, 2007 11:50 AM "I'm spending a year dead for tax reasons." - Douglas Adams The Choice for a New Beginning Many of us with chronic pain have been faced with a new beginning and a new direction. Our injuries have dictated that our lives in some shape or form be altered or changed. Many have shouted out in anger, "I want my old life back." While others have come to realize this truly could be a new beginning. This can be a chance to move in directions never dreamed possible. A chance to use the many talents we have been unaware of...the beginning of a new way of life. One where we can know ourselves and others like never before.

Elizabeth H.	September 12, 2007 12:13 PM "It's all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back." - Mick Jagger Passion for the Possible Humor has been defined as the passion for the possible, and humor is a delightful way of offering hope to others... Those who are skilled at using humor as a coping mechanism are able to focus on problems without becoming overly emotional, and they also report less stress. Indeed, humor seems to be essential to human thriving, whether the hoped-for outcome is trivial or cosmic. Humor brings us to the higher ground where hope lives. [ send green star]
