1.  Checking In

Greetings and Welcome.

I'm trying a new newsletter masthead beginning with this issue. I hope you like it and I would love to hear your feedback.

During the last six months I have lost 30 lbs and a 20 year full beard. I wanted to show you what I look like (above) without them both<g>.

2.  The Essence of This Issue

Almost all us have at least one recurring or persistent issue in our life, an issue or seeming problem that never seems to completely resolve. In this newsletter below I'm offering several thoughts about why those issues continue to persist. In the next newsletter in (two weeks) I'll give you an exercise designed to begin the process of releasing them.

3.  Some Thoughts on Healing - Persistent Issues

Almost all us have at least one recurring or persistent issue in our life, an issue or seeming problem that never seems to completely resolve.

Whenever we have a persistent issue there is almost always a polarity of attachment and aversion involved. Another way of saying this is that one part of us does not want the issue (is pushing against it) and another part of us actually wants it (is getting something from it} on some level. In almost every case we are only consciously aware of one side of the polarity, the part that is pushing against the issue.

For example, if our persistent issue happens to be that we never have the right relationship partner, or we never have enough money, we are always 'painfully' aware of the not having it. But we are usually blind to that side of US that is pushing it away.

Conversely, if the issue is around something that we have but don't want, say chronic fatigue, panic, or recurring memories, we are always crystal clear about the part of us that doesn't want the issue, while we are almost always blind to the side of us that is attached to it. "How could I possibly want that???"

Please understand that what I'm speaking about is always happening at the unconscious level, so none of what I'm saying here is about judgment or blame. You are NOT at fault for your issues. The only reason I am speaking about any of this is to help you understand the dynamics of what is going on and to help you find the path to healing. 

What most of us do when we have a stuck issue is to focus all of our energy and attention on the one side of the polarity we are conscious of.  This almost never works! At least not for long. Because when we do this, we are always amplifying the unconscious side of the polarity, and that is guaranteed to keep us stuck. The issue is like a big rubber band, and the more we pull on one end, the more the other end comes toward us. As you read these words, does any of this "feel" familiar to you?

All of these dynamics are happening on a deep cellular level. And they need to be addressed on the cellular level. So where do these "cellular level" issues come?  Usually they come from some early trauma or message we received when we were very young. This is why, when I work with a client on any issue, we always focus our release work on clearing both sides of the issue, the attachment AND the aversion.

In the next newsletter (in 2 weeks) I will give you a simple and effective energy exercise you can use to begin the process of releasing your own issues in this way.

4.  Food For Thought

 "When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."
--- Charles Beard


"All we need to do is allow more joy and love into our experience. We need to really choose it, to allow ourselves to feel it, paying attention, choosing to be alive and to be kind; allowing ourselves to feel and to be nurtured by the natural order of the Spirit of God. When we choose and allow it, the dramas fall away and dissolve."
--- Patricia Sun


“The more you are motivated by love, the more fearless and free your actions will be.”
--- Katherine Mansfield
