The importance of healing LOVE to self.....

As human beings we do hold the power within us to heal our lives.   The journey that has taken me to discovering my own healing potential was breast cancer.  It was not this journey alone that was my wakeup call.  It was a culmination of many years work prior to this diagnoses which is often referred to “peeling away the layers of the onion”.  Letting go of FEAR opened the door to my faith and belief in me - “Unconditional self love”.

Just as a flower needs to be planted in nourishing soil, given manure and fertilizer, watered regularly, have sunshine to grow.  We as humans need to do this for us as well. Placing yourself first, not in a vein way, but loving and nurturing YOU, is not selfish.  Often people, who judge, have not been taught this or women often use this message that it is Selfish to make you feel guilty.

Receiving is the balance of Giving.

We live in a balance world.

So fill up the vessel that is YOU.

How can you give to others if you are an empty vessel?

The best example is the oxygen mask on a plane they always tell you to put on yours first and then assist others. 

This passage came from a message from DailyOM to my inbox.  “A self-healing day should address the vital needs of the self as a whole while directing healing energy where it is needed most. Solitude is an important part of the process as is the ability to take refuge in a space that is both beautiful and peaceful. Start your healing day by setting the intention that you are dedicating this time to healing yourself. Flowers, candlelight, incense, and music can guide our focus toward a more tranquil state.”

Healing is about care.  Listening to that inner guidance that says “go for a walk, have a nap, draw a picture, sit and take some time to do what brings a smile to your face and be still”.  Since my own healing, especially this past 7 weeks while recuperating after my breast reconstruction surgery, I need to give my body time to heal.  Take time out; sit in the park, read a book, enjoy a chat on the phone or go for a walk this has been a challenge. 

I have been impatient that it is not happening fast enough.  This is the “ego mind” trying to be in charge.  When I let go of those thoughts, I am reminded by friends and messages from the Universe this is a time for REST. 

Being OK with where I am now is important because there is time for the rest to happen.  For now it is time to practice stillness and BEING.

Changing your thoughts from NEGATIVE to POSITIVE...

Since my diagnosis of Breast Cancer on the 10th May 2010, my mindset has been only positive. A conscious decision that “I am on a healing journey through to wellness” this has never changed, waived or something I have feared, if anything I have gotten stronger in my outlook. My determination to share with as many people as possible and give a different way of think that “Cancer is only a word, not a sentence”, has been a major part of this healing journey... first and foremost it is about Love. Just as the song says “All you need is love”, “Love will keep us together” there are countless titles about Love. LOVE , LOVE, LOVE , but it is not about others loving you, it is about SELF LOVE, that unconditional love that we find so difficult to do from a realistic/conditioning mind.

EGO ~ everything good outside of you. I would rather think as LOVE ~ limitless Om Vibrates Eternal.

Many people have been conditioned to think negative about themself ~ not good enough , don’t do well enough, haven’t gotten enough, and the list goes on..... I will let you into a little secret; I had that t-shirt too..... I bought into that illusion that has been feed to us as a society most of my life. Blame others, jealousy, envy, sadness, settle for mediocrity because that is all you deserve..... what a crock.!!! For the first time in my life I was going to be the captain of this ship...... yes, I needed people to support me, assist me, have opinions, take care of me, listen to me, hug me, but at the end of the day I was choosing to take responsibility for where and how this journey was going to play out. I was not prepared to be the victim any longer, not for anyone ~ especially not ME....

I didn’t buy into the “PITY PARTY”, my thoughts were take it elsewhere..... Yes, the EGO loves it, it thrives on it, because then it doesn’t have to stand up and take responsibility for the thoughts, actions and fears that it has generated all in the name of CONTROL... Control is powerful and used in the wrong way destroying of souls. Spirit wishes to EMPOWER you, not control.

What I believe is that LOVING who you are unconditionally, with no judgement. Speaking to yourself in a positive and nurturing way is going to assist you to be healthier, more content. If you are looking for happiness outside of you, you will not find it. To have happiness you must BE HAPPY it comes from within you.

JADE......

Over the last couple of years I have grown to love all types of crystals and it is great that at different times and situations our bodies are drawn to a certain one for whatever reason ....



I was looking in a second hand book shop in Rozelle last year when I was picking up our family portraits, when I came across this lovely book "The Book of Crystals" A practical guide to the Beauty and Healing influence of Crystals and Gemstones. - by Lansdowne.

Blue Jade has a calming and soothes the mind as well as the emotions. Its vibration opens our minds to the peace within us. It makes an excellent Meditation stone.

Red Jade is a powerful stone, its stimulating colour enables us to access the more volatile aspects of our nature. If anger and pent-up energy is restricting your actions, Red Jade can help relieve the tension by initiation the expression of these emotions.

Lavender Jade brings emotional balance, it encourages the expression of unconditional love and gives greater feelings of self-acceptance.

Yellow Jade helps with the solar plexus chakra, helps with a digestive system and helps boost the liver.

Emotions: with its calming and balancing qualities, Jade can be useful to those trying to resolve conflict -with others or themselves. Jade is a stone that brings out the love with ease and flow.
