Theme for January 21,2010

The theme for the week remains Kabbalah and Healing with a focus on where have you been wounded at either the Soul or Spirit level.

Tonight we looked at the different levels of wounding (and therefore different levels of healing); physically, psychological and spiritual. Naturally, it was agreed that the different levels of woundings don't really occur in an isolated way so that only the physical is wounded, only the psyche or only the spirit. Woundings at any one level will have their impact on other levels.

We also started talking about "contracts", when two people "agree" to help eachother with a similar task, in which both will benefit, or where one agrees to help the other succeed in a life task. This came up out of a discussion around the wounding that results from broken contracts.

Keep in mind the theme and reflect on how you have been wounded at the Soul or Spirit levels.

AND, remember to remember each other daily at 12noon.

Blessings!!!

Theme for January 21, 2010

The theme continues to be Kabbalah and Healing with an emphasis on giving ourselves unconditional self-acceptance.

Tonight we started with the idea that giving ourselves unconditional acceptance promotes the mirroring of that acceptance by others. Which reminded us that when we practice self-acceptance we raise our own level of consciousness and by a naturally occuring phenomenon we raise the consciousness of those around us.

We were also reminded that unconditional means just that, there are no conditions, we can do nothing to earn or deserve it. And by the same token, unconditional self-acceptance does not anticipate any particular outcome. The state of being in self-acceptance is not earned and does not result in any outcome. It is simply a state of being. This also reminded us that is it a central pillar experience. It is not active, it is not passive, it simply is.

When the conversation moved toward being in a state of acceptance of others, we defined that phenomenon as being in a place of neutrality. If we are dealing with a person who is coming from a side pillar, for instance, being either overly expansive or overly contractive, it is better to be neutral, or central pillar than to come from the other extreme. Neutrality offers no judgement, blame or shame. It is acknowleging without necessarily being encouraging. It doesn't assume the other person is doing something to us, because of us, or in inspite of us. It simply accepts. And in accepting, may often diffuse what might have been a difficult situation.

Remember to remember each other at 12noon every day.

Blessing on your journey!!
