Thank you so much. I needed it. I've watched probably thousands of seeds come up in my lifetime and never thought of that metaphor for when I decide to plant a new seed in my life. Amazing. And I loved your description of the witness and the various strategies, especially containerizing. I think I already do this with my journaling and morning pages, but hadn't realized its purpose. It is also great because I can explain to a good friend, and she and I will be happy to do this for one another. This is getting bookmarked for a reread whenever the dirt comes up... thanks again!

This is a great time to practice gratitude and affirmations. Be grateful that changes are occurring in your life and affirm that you are moving toward your goal.

I changed my comment name.) Thank you, belatedly, for another good one. I can't remember where I read this (Hicks? Scovel-Shinn? Your blog?), but "perception" is an amazing term. Many of these negative beliefs, which we've accepted as our own to hang on to and obsess over and allow to run our lives, are really based in what we've learned over the years from other people's examples and statements. No blame-- I accepted these thoughts as my own. But reminding myself that my negative beliefs have their origins in outside perceptions that I chose to listen to has been one of the better ways to get out of depressing thought cycles. It lets me remind myself that I can choose not to listen to them anymore. Thanks again! (Erm, Yet Another Jessica here. I changed my comment name.) Thank you, belatedly, for another good one.

(seriously, a great walk or a stint on the elliptical, even when you don't feel like it.) and alternative health practices - especially acupuncture. diet plays a big role as well. also - take this first step ... INTEND to release that blob-like pattern. Tell it that its days are numbered. Talk with it.

There is a question I would like to ask you, Christine. I keep getting waves of sadness and fear, and cannot connect them to anything sensible in my life. Lots of dirt, there must be a seed somewhere then, hurray ! :) But what to do with these blob like emotions ? (apart from the naps, which I use a lot :) ) Wow, this is a truly great and thought provoking post.

November 10th, 2006 | Category: law of attraction, motivation, quotes, self realization, personal growth, About Tim One of the most valuable points in Ask and It Is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks is that you don’t have to make yourself go from feeling awful to feeling “GREAT!” All you need to focus on is feeling a little bit better than you do. This releases some of the pressure. Get Ask and It is Given. The exercises in it are designed to do just that. [via Christine Kane] [...] [...] I feel GRRREAT!
