Mind, Body, Spirit: Total Connection Forever
Caroline Myss has written a helpful, readable, excellent book that makes sense and is empowering. The name is: Anatomy of The Spirit. One of the many things I like about the book is that she is clear about the mind AND the spiritual connection to our body. She talks about every single (not just the big ones, but every single one)event, happening, memory, thought, experience, lives in the cells of our body.
Amazing! I have tended to believe it is the bigger, or more significant, or somehow more extraordinary happenings that affect us. I have always understood that these happenings build up and it is not ever one single event that has affected us. But I never realized that it is ALL that has been said, done, left undone, noticed, understood, not understood. Simply put: everything lives in us and impacts us. As we get older, the impact often becomes physical. Especially if our tendency is to focus our thoughts and feelings on the negative and not quite so much on what is positive about our life.
Physics has proven that everything connects. Everything is vibrating energy. We really are one with all that is. I believe this, I intuit this, science supports the truth that we are all one; and again, that affects our health, our body. The amazing hugeness of this as real hovers above me as I think of 3 solid years or more of highly significant challenges with my heart. Absolutely that was about every single thing that has ever happened in my life and largely about the negative spin I may have put on many of those events. Beyond my own body and spirit however, what is equally true, I believe, is that what happens to our bodies is also a reflection of what is happening to our world. The very heart, the very core, of our world is changing and is in pain and is protesting. Protesting. Good word. I like that.
My heart and my spirit were protesting. I was out of rhythm. I beat too hard and too fast. I felt sorrow, pain, fear...lots of fear. Our world is filled with fear. Babies are afraid that they aren't safe, parents are afraid that they can not feed their children and keep them secure, mothers are afraid for their family's well being, fathers are afraid they are failing. Our hearts are aching and our spirits are trembling. Caroline Myss says we need to feel secure and we need to find the positive and live less in the negative.
I agree. At my brother's cottage on Hamlin Lake near Ludington, Michigan, last week, we watched the most magnificent sunsets each evening. We shared our meals in love and gratitude. I walked Sporty, their 11 year old Jack Russel with joy and pleasure. My sister-in-law is very, very sick with cancer. She joined us each day and celebrated life with us, getting a chuckle out of my sailor brother's sea sickness the day before we came. My brother is one of the most positive people I have ever known. His minute by minute devotion, commitment, and love for his wife brings peace, healing and security to all of us. Blessed be.
Caroline Myss and my brother Bud. Two peas in a pod and never would they meet nor would my brother agree with her spiritual focus. However, he is a living example that positive helps keep us alive and can turn adversity into doable and you can find beauty in the doable. For Bud the secret is love. His relationship with his wife is a living symbol for the meaning of love. He has a great deal to teach us all. Even Myss could learn from him! (:
Love each other. More later. Nancy
