Something To
Think About~
Personal
Message from Suze Curtis
We’ve all heard the words ~~ Love
YourSELF ~~ in fact, so often, that they (the words) simply flow
through our brains with no meaning or feeling.
Our current shift in
consciousness urges us to “love” ourselves by:
a)
Meditation/Reading
b)
Time-To-Yourself
c)
Massages/Bubble
Baths
d) etc
These are all wonderful . . . and yet, when we return to the flow
of life, we find ourselves “fighting” to keep the calm, compassionate, loving
feelings we just experienced.
What if “loving
yourSELF” meant to
STOP FIGHTING what you’re feeling?
Could
you “LOVE” your Anger ~~ Your Selfishness ~~ Your Perfectionism?
All
of my life, I’ve been called a Perfectionist.
For the longest time, I felt “guilty” when someone referred to me as
such. Then, I realized the “perfectionist”
part of me is what gives me the ability to achieve & create the reality I
experience today.
As soon as I “LOVED
(massaged)” the Perfectionist part of myself ~~ SAW ITS VALUE ~~ I found myself
being more kind to “me” . . . and (or course) others ~~ Simultaneously, when I stopped resisting (feeling guilty/dis-owning) my Perfectionism, its positive qualities flowed into my life naturally.
Most of us perceive Compassion &
Kindness as the “right” way to be . . . designating Selfishness as negative
& “wrong”.
Of my four
brothers, the 2nd to the youngest (in my mind) was very Selfish. I used to
get extremely angry with him when I observed (what I perceived as) his
Selfishness.
In my mind, I was better
than him ~~ After all, I had the qualities of Compassion & Kindness honed
to “Perfection” J I was so “perfect” at
taking care of everybody, that I could have labeled myself a Saint or Martyr.
Of
course, over time . . . and . . . great doses of exhaustion, frustration &
anger ~~ “What about me?” “Why do
I feel “put-on-the-back-burner”? “Am I
of no value?” ~~ I learned to “love/soak-in-a-bubble-bath-of”
mySELFish part
J My brother’s innate
ability to "love himself first" was a mirror for me to see the part of mySELF I wasn’t
“loving/meditating-on/giving-TIME-&-attention-to”.
Could you love depression? When you have no other excuse to STOP . . .
your entire being ~~ body, mind, emotions, spirit ~~ gives you the opportunity
to “clean out the old and make way for the new”.
Could you love
indecision? When we vacillate back &
forth, back & forth, back & forth ~~ we FINALLY make a decision out of
sheer exhaustion. That “exhausted
feeling” stays in our cell
memory, helping us learn to “let go”
more easily with future choices.
Could you love judgment? When we see (judge) what we “don’t like” in others, we are giving
ourselves the opportunity to SEE that same thing in ourSELF.
Could you love
jealousy/envy? When we’re jealous or envious,
we can view it as INSPIRATION ~~ a motivation to keep growing.
Could it be that we
have mastered so well (what we perceive as) the “good parts” of ourselves that
those good parts have become unhealthy? "To much of (even) a good
thing..."
Could it be that completely
ignoring & resisting (what we perceive as) the “bad parts” of ourselves is
to deny the opportunity to have complete, whole, balanced health? "If you don't use it, you
loose it?"
We were given ALL
emotions to EXPERIENCE ~~ When we "love/experience" only what we
perceive as GOOD...
and... "not love/deny-resist" what we perceive
as BAD, we literally create dis-ease in ourSELVES.
FEEL & LOVE ALL EMOTIONS (ALL parts of yourSELF)
Begin acknowledging
& LOVING “all” of yourSELF, even your (perception of) “bad parts” ~~
a)
Meditate-On/Read-Into
your Anger ~~ It’s giving you a
guide-line to YOUR boundaries.
b) Give Time-To-Yourself and be completely Lazy ~~ It gives you “time/space”
to day-dream & create.
c)
Massage/Soak-In
your Pride ~~ It allows you to see your
value – your “self” worth.
Be True To YourSELVES,
Suze ;-)

~Big News!!! Quantum Healing
Workshop with Gillian MacBeth-Louthan
"Healing across Time
and Space"
We
each exist in our own personal time-space continuum. The past present and
future exists differently for each of us even if we wear the same set of circumstances.
We change probabilities as well as memories with a thought. Energy, translated
into feeling and emotions causes all experiences.
In
this workshop you will learn how to surf the waves of time to heal the past,
sculpt the future and redefine who you are in the now. We will also be working
with several concepts/aspects of Futurescaping. Each time you think about the
past or the future you change the event. You will learn techniques in this
workshop that will help you heal body mind and spirit as well as past present
and future.
Some
topics that will be covered:
·
Altering
an event before it enters physical reality
·
Healing
the body by backing up in time and space
·
Re-creating
the Past
·
Pre-Defining
the future you
·
Present
moment alteration techniques
·
Creating
events in a more positive way
·
Clearing
negativity from thoughts
