Clearing the mind
Submitted by admin on March 19, 2008 - 1:48pmOur mind is an incredible tool. It has the capacity to learn and retain knowledge, to facilitate communication and to imagine amazing and wondrous things. It can also create chaos in our relationships, fill us with fear and anxiety and disrupt any possibility of peace in our lives.
We can control our minds but few of us do or realize we can. Controlling the mind is the greatest discipline I have found. The first step is to decide what we want to change. If we are having thoughts that are creating fear or discomfort, we can decide we want to think of something else.
Chick update: Challenging decisions
Submitted by healingdeva on March 20, 2008 - 11:03amWe have had a difficult few days with our girls. I initially noticed one chick who sat to eat and seemed to have difficulty in walking. I watched her for a couple of days not sure if I was overreacting or if there was really a problem. Then day before yesterday, another chick started having the same problems and actually deteriorated to a more lethargic state rather quickly.
Staying afloat in the ocean of our emotions
Submitted by admin on March 19, 2008 - 2:20pmOur emotions can seem overwhelming, like we are drowning in an ocean. We tend to think of them as in control rather than considering that we can control our emotions. We fall in or out of love. We lose control of our anger. We can learn to swim in the world of our emotions and navigate their slippery world.
A fire in the belly
Submitted by admin on March 19, 2008 - 1:50pmWhen most people think of passion, they think of sexual passion. But that is not what we are talking about here. What is the fire that burns in your belly and won't let you alone? What is it that keeps surfacing in your life or your mind as something you would love to do or something you need to do?
