Dear Friends,
There is a new show this past year on TV called “This is Us”. It is a very inspiring heartfelt story of one family. What I love about the show is how it goes back and forth between the parents coming together as a young couple and having a family and then going forward into the future when the children are older. I love how it shows the trials and tribulations of the young couple as they journey into marriage and parenthood. And then it shows how emotional and health issues develop in the children as they become adults.
Sometimes, we get stuck in blaming our past for things we are struggling with in our present. Perhaps we had alcoholic parents, or angry parents, or emotionally shutdown parents, etc etc. Maybe we were bullied as a kid or ostracized from certain peer groups. The list goes on and on with things that we may have experienced that continue to cause us emotional distress.
The unfortunate thing that happens when this shutdown occurs is that our energy becomes congested and stagnant. The result can be inflammation, infection, cancers and other various maladies in the body from the lack of our energy flowing in a healthful way.
What I love also about the show mentioned above, is how it shows the young couple before they have children struggling but in love. It shows them loving their children and making mistakes. It also demonstrates how, when we develop emotional issues from our past, it is usually done with a certain amount of blindness.
What I mean by this lack of seeing, is that we often don’t see with 100 percent accuracy how experiences truly occurred and we don’t see all the other factors that were involved with the making of that experience. So from that perspective, we often don’t know the truth about why things happened the way they happened.
If we are struggling with a certain issue that has been bothering us for years, and if we have a hard time letting it go there is an easy way to get the energy moving. Simply by affirming to yourself that you may not know the exact truth of why things happened the way that they did. Affirming to yourself, that you may not really know why the people involved did what they did and what caused them to act in a certain way. That is the truth.
Simply by affirming these things to yourself, energy starts moving towards healing. The more you can move into a place of neutrality and acceptance towards any situation in your life, the greater chance you have of a healthy body, mind and spirit.
Life is mysterious and that is part of the beauty of life. Sometimes the healing is in accepting the mystery of what is occurring at any given moment. And then hopefully being open to the magic that this situation might have for us that is right around the corner. With acceptance there is grace and tremendous power. And in grace there is healing.
I wish for all of you healing that comes from accepting the mystery, magic and grace of life.
wonderful lessons from that show for sure, I watch that as well, love it !
