All-Inclusive Being and being

In times of stress, it is good to think about all-inclusive Being.

I like to remember that my being is part of this all-inclusive Being.

I like the feeling that I can turn within to hear the Guidance that I need at any time.

When I am in a creative mode, I feel the flow of ideas.

When I am in pain or surprised by sudden terror, I can take a moment, and feel the deep peace within me.

I can give myself the time to figure out my best course of action.

When I am in meditation, I like to spend time feeling the nearness of comfort and how it extends infinitely around me.

I like to immerse myself in the feeling of being safe.

I move from the feeling of being safe into quiet happiness.

I quietly revel in my safety and happiness.

It is something I can return to over and over again.

This is a big change from the hyper-alertness I cultivated all my life.

It is an amazing feeling that I can be safe and enjoy being happy.

I love that I can comtemplate the immensity of all-inclusive Being and find myself there.

It is a peaceful feeling to simply be.

As I expand my peace, I see that I have all that I need.

I can always feel fulfilled as long as I start from all-inclusive Being.

I can always feel safe and be guided to safety when I need it.

It is a true gift that I discovered from within.

That is where I find it, every time.

Total Reformation

I start with the issue which bothers me the most.

I start the process of listening within.

As I observe my discomfort, the ideas I need to reform begin to come to me.

I may desire to correct a habitual attitude.

I may need to correct a skill I am learning.

I may need to evaluate my involvment in a particular project.

The solution comes for whatever I want to reshape or redirect.

As I take my tiny steps, I begin to see a shift.

The tiny steps allow me to move gently in a non-threatening way as I inform myself of my new direction.

My desire for freedom and progress insures that I will continue my work.

As I gain some skill and the new habit replaces the old attitude, I can feel the difference.

I know that I will continue all the way to a level of refinement for total reformation.

I appreciate the gentleness of my tiny steps of progress.

I see them add up into a significant shift.

I gain happiness and confidence.

I am comfortable with my gentle approach.

Each tiny step is helping to build a foundation without gaps.

When I reach my goal without pressuring myself, I will be able to sustain it.

I give myself the time to absorb my new practices.

I enjoy my new skills and my new perspective.

Beautiful Self-Care

Wherever you are this season, with others or on your own, you owe yourself the most considerate self-care.

Your peace of mind is achievable as you return to the thought of your inner connection.

As you listen within, you feel the guiding peace which is always available to you.

In the midst of celebration preparation and activities, you can take a deep breath to create a moment of peace for yourself.

As you feel the peace, you can expand the moment into a second deep breath.

As you feel your poise returning to you, take your third deep breath.

This seals your connection with the beautiful presence of self-care right in the midst of busy holiday celebrations.

Keep the peace within as you enjoy your day.

Standing in Stillness

Ideas come to us in quietness and stillness.

That is how we know they are ours when we hear them.

When we reach out from a peaceful state, we open ourselves to peaceful answers.

The answers we receive through peace and quiet and stillness are a true Guide.

In one breath, we can reach out.

In an instant we can receive a safe next step.

As we habitually listen, our large projects take on a far-reaching power of peace.

Our many tiny steps which give us a foundation without gaps, allow us to take the next step safely.

Willingness to listen in quiet and stillness creates a trusting and clear atmosphere in which to progress.

There is no confusion, just listening.

At the right time, an answer appears and action is easy to take.

The deep trust is what eases us into action.

Standing in stillness is where we start.

Completing the Circuit

I have been on a quest for many years to know how to communicate my ideas with the public.

Through many steps of personal healing, I have been brought to wholeness and completeness.

Throughout all the many tiny steps, I have been building a foundation from which to share.

It is natural then, that at long last, I have discovered the right platform for electronic communication and sharing.

Even though I tried several other modes and methods, there was still a large gap.

As I came to identify myself differently, my view about myself totally changed.

With this new view, I have been able to make new connections effortlessly.

I find myself engaging with others in new and uplfiting ways.

I am so very grateful to be a witness from the inside out of this amazing process.

It is pure grace.

Neither Too Much Nor Too Little

I am living in a perfect place and perfect time.

I have neither too much nor too little.

Whatever I need appears as a matter of course.

I am in tune with my inner Guidance and that is how It provides for me.

The problems and obstacles which I encounter are guideposts for what I need to learn.

As I listen alertly and intently, I am given exact guidance on what to do and when to do it.

I am able to correct habits of lack through listening to my inner Guidance.

My new action reflects my new lessons and I move forward in new ways.

I am accountable to my Higher Power and I would not want to neglect those duties.

I am given overflowing abundance and security as I listen exactly.

I am given wealth and prosperity as I learn how to express it.

It goes out in service to those who will most benefit and it returns to me in ways that I most benefit.

My own view, from within, is the only important one.

The impressions of others are only partial.

My life lies clearly before me in every detail as I hold myself accountable to my inner listening.

There is Always a Solution

Solutions are in process for problems we are aware of and also for problems which we are not aware of.

We bring ourselves into the solutions when we acknowledge this process.

We cannot decide how a solution should come about, but we can know that it is happening.

When all the elements are ready, the solution becomes evident.

The fact that there is so much disruption shows that solutions are moving forward.

The current upheaval is due to the fact that a problem has met with opposition.

This opposition will continue until all are reconciled and laws which create good for all are enacted.

We all have the mental capacity to imagine good for all.

That starts the engine of solutions.

As we engage with the activity of raising our level of interaction with everyone to be supportive and encouraging, our communities will reflect this attitude.

It will become evident that, used properly, there are enough resources for everyone.

Greed will lessen until it disappears, because it will no longer be satisfying.

It will feel so good to see children thriving as they recieve the resources they need.

Happiness within the home will increase and restore a balance of harmony throughout the community.

People will create work they love which contributes to the prosperity of the entire community.

Those who do the work which needs to be done will be appreciated and recognized.

There will be a feeling of well-being and safety which includes every member of the community.

This will create satisfying and beneficial effects between communities.

Our entire life throughout our country wil be built on the grassroots practices which value everyone.

This will nourish our sense of universal values and raise our standing in the world.

Learning Peace

The experiences I need show up right on time.

As I become aware of them, I am given insight into their deeper meaning.

I learn to receive their gifts.

It is a challenging time to learn peace as a consistent state of being.

I learn to discard all distractions, and I gain another moment in sustaining my peace.

There is no rush to complete things.

Each step can be done in a state of peace.

Being in a state of peace allows much wider observation.

Instead of being preoccupied by accomplishing the next step, I can relax and feel my surroundings.

I am no longer cocooned in a state of deep concentration in order to distract myself from pain.

I am gradually becoming in touch with my senses and taking in my surroundings.

I am safe.

I am in a safe place.

I am visibly seen in a good light.

What I do is appreciated.

I am given support as I take my new tiny steps.

The support comes in unexpected ways.

There is a lot of compassion surrounding and supporting me.

I am doing what I love to do and I am being seen in positive ways.

I am standing up for myself in ways which support who I am and what I do.

The threatening distractions fall away as I become confident and continue my practice.

I feel the peace as I maintain my alignment with who I am and what I do.

Loss and Gain

I have lost so much; I have gained so much.

During my long healing over a couple of decades, I have lost so many opportunities for family contact.

Durig the same period, I have sifted through so much past abuse and processed it to a fine, thin powder which, broken down, fits thourgh a seive.

That is what the healing has been like.

Tiny, powerful steps to confront long-term egregious crimes against a little girl.

It is sifted, proocessed, healed and released.

Certainly, there continue to be triggers, and emotions and memories which have to be dealt with.

But the actual work is done.

I have a new foundation to build on.

I am moving beyond my past and emerging into doing what I love.

That this is possible is attributable to the input of so many authors, workshop leaders, talented and compassionate therapists and supportive friends.

It is attributable to my persistance because the alternative was unacceptable.

I am in a new place and I am grateful for my new life.

Things connect; I am not filling in for so many gaps.

It is possible to be recognized and valued and appreciated.

It is possible to be happy.

It is possible to live in beautiful surroundings and to feel safe and secure.

It is possible to be around people who enjoy my company and who love me.

With this new foundation, I enjoy the progress I am making.

I am so sorry for the great loss, whch was beyond my control.

Now that I have dealt with so many of the”hidden drivers” of my life, I am hopeful for more reconcilation and healing.

Let all be well for all of us.

The Values of Deep Peace

My first value is the ability to feel perfect alignment with my purpose.

Facing my deepest challenges and finding solutions.

Learning to maintain my own deep calm.

Continually taking my own tiny steps.

Learning new skills and reaching out with them.

Establishing my new authentic foundation.

Creating a base which honors my deep values.

Learning the skills to create, maintain and reach out from my authentic base.

Knowing which are obstacles are mine to conquer and which are merely distractions.

Having the stability to keep moving forward.

Learning to feel safe.

Trusting my own assessment of the situation.

Respecting myself and taking action on the basis of my assessment.

Releasing what has been hidden and healing it.

Seeing myself move into authority over my own life.

To give myself a sense of well-being.

To live consistently within my own framework to share inpsiration and peace.

Unexpected Inspiration

Inspiration is everywhere, often in the most unexpected places.

In the course of updating our vehicle registration and driver’s licenses, we encountered unexpected inspiration.

We had waited in line for two hours, only to find that despite our previous visit, we did not have the correct documents.

When we went downstairs to get the required first document, we found out that we needed to change county offices.

We went home for lunch.

After lunch, we went to the closest county office.

It was rented to a different business and was closed for rennovations.

We went to the next closest county office.

It was closed due to tornado damage.

We thought about what else we could do for the rest of the day.

We found a late evening opening at the museum.

We looked at the list, and decided to go to the county office closest to the museum.

We drove downtown and got the first required document.

Then, we drove due south, all the way across town, got the help we needed for the next document, and during the time we spent with the agent who was helping us, found a very inspiring woman.

We came back to the museum for a lecture giving some of the background to the exhibit.

Then we went home.

People show up in ordinary places as ordinary people, but they are sometimes extaordinary.

The next morning, I woke up still feeling inspired by the courage and resiliance of the woman whose story we had heard in the course of the help we received from her.

We were grateful for the opportunity to meet her, and were glad we had not gotten mad or impatient over all the offices we had to visit.

That’s a new practice, and it keeps giving us room for unexpected opportunities to give and receive inspiration.

Remaking the Nervous System Responses

I am so grateful for the opportunity and ability to acquire new healing knowledge.

As I use it to rewrite my attitude and responses, it is remaking my life.

I am moving in a completely different direction and with a completely different attitude.

I recognize the old symptoms and I know what to do about them.

What shows up now is a refrain of cruelty, masking as self-doubt.

I am able to counter that with a deep sense of self-compassion and love for myself.

I supply the self-nurturing and self-protection I need from the abundant resources of the Universe.

I turn toward the feeling of light and happiness through the joy of doing what I love to do.

I receive and share the inspiration which has lead to my peace.

I continue to take the tiny steps which build my new foundation.

As I experience the results, I see the world from a new perspective.

I am safe, and what I am and what I have is of value.

The past negative memories are being replaced with new experiences of appreciation and recognition.

It is becoming safe to be visible.

It is OK to be seen; I will not be hurt.

I am surrounded by beauty and peace and calm.

I attract abundant resources and live in harmonious surroundings.

Step by step and layer by layer, I am creating safe haven for myself.

As I commit to doing what I love, it moves me in the direction of happiness and peace.

I am fully aligned within and with my practice of my values.

There are no gaps between what I enjoy and what I do.

We are one.

This creates a response which supports me.

I am building a constantly expanding safe environment in which to live.
