Honor the Relationship with Your Self

The October Ah-Man Newsletter focuses on my new book: Returning to WHOLENESS… Discovering Ah-Man. 

I believe that if you’ve managed to survive on this planet for any appreciable length of time, you have experienced trauma of some sort, be it physical, emotional, mental or spiritual. It may not be on the relatively grand scale that I have experienced, but you and/or someone you love or care for, have experienced some level of trauma.

It is that belief that fueled my passion to write this book. It is my hope…my wish…my desire…that my book will touch someone – you or someone you know or love – in a way that starts them on their own journey to healing and inner peace.

Here’s a link to the Amazon Book Page where you can read more about the book, including reviews of those who have read it. If you are moved to buy it, please return to Amazon and add your review.

All during October, my blog posts will share some of the healing tools found in the book.

This week’s topic is: Relationship with Self

Establishing a healthy relationship with self requires putting yourself first, in a conscious, not selfish, way. You are not going to be able to be of service to yourself or anyone else if you’re not mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy. The key is to help others, but not to hurt yourself by assisting them. Honor your body, taking breaks when you need them; at work or at home. Honoring your emotions is important. Sometimes in the busy world, it’s not always safe to honor your emotions. Be sure you have your “sanctuary.” It might be your car, the bathroom, a place where you can walk without being disturbed— somewhere you are able to feel and release what is needed. Even whooping it up and showing excitement and joy is not always acceptable in our busy world. Be mindful of who you are with and where you are. Take good care of your body by eating foods that agree with your body; things that make you overweight are things that don’t agree with your body. Exercising is something your body needs and, when you do it regularly, you feel good. Meditate, pray or find an outlet such as sports, art, gardening or music, that centers and calms your mind and spirit, and practice it regularly.

The more intimately I know myself, the more I know God.  

On the journey to find the peace of acceptance, it is necessary to seek inward to find the place where God (as you understand God to be) dwells within. When you find that precious place of God within, simultaneously you will recognize God dwelling in others. God is everywhere, inside of everything and everyone.

I Am NOT a Victim of Circumstances

I no longer ask: Why is this happening to me? I am not a victim of circumstances.

Primordial man needed to be fearful of his surroundings. He needed to be on guard and mindful of all that surrounded him, to keep himself and his family safe. As you move deeper in Ah-Man, a new perspective emerges, because you are doing the work on yourself to come to the place where you feel safe. You have let go of the feeling that the world or others are out to get you. Those things that used to kick up the victim/protector/warrior inside are now seen simply as situations to walk through and not allow myself to be controlled. So the next time you feel the world is out to get you, laugh at your thoughts. From this fresh perspective, you will have the capacity to be compassionate without your thoughts overshadowing you.

I know the only constant is change. I know I cannot control the change. I am flexible because I trust God.

The only thing that does not change is God’s love for us. Our bodies will constantly change – from infant to boy/girl to puberty to middle age, then to old man/old woman, if we’re lucky. The environment around us is also constant changing. To change will cause pain in some form. Embrace each change just as it is: another blessed event happening in our lives. Just as our bodies change, so will our minds. As we make changes in our lives, sometimes it means letting go of other people. Not because others are wrong or bad; it is just that our time together is complete. It happens to each of us. Others are doing what they think is best for them, just as we are.
