I have come to learn is that we can receive tremendous benefit from applying 1 or 2 simple tools each day. A few minutes of clear intentional thinking each day will literally change your life. It has sure changed mine.
One awareness that has really activated my experience of Freedom is to move out of thinking that I’ve wasted any time. It’s so tempting to align with the ego and judge the use of time and energy in the past.
I don’t know about you, but I have made millions of mistakes in my life. I make mistakes every single day. I used to judge my mistakes, and now I realize that they are the way that I learn. I am a learner. I LIKE learning. I used to HATE making mistakes. I used to BERATE myself for making mistakes until I began a personal practice of nonviolence and then my commitment to living a nonviolent life led me to realize that berating myself for ANYTHING was subjecting myself to intense mental and emotional violence. That stopped me cold!
Now, I harvest the wisdom from my mistakes and I don’t mind making them, most of the time.
Right now, I’m in a week-long seminar with my beautiful teacher, Venerable Dhyani Ywahoo and it’s so rich. Yesterday she said, “Our painful experiences become compost in which the seeds of wisdom grow.” These seeds of wisdom are planed in all of us. I’ve realized that if I judge the mistakes, it takes longer for it to break down and become compost. It makes it harder for the wisdom seeds to grow.
Are there any mistakes that you’ve made that you’re still judging? Release the judgment so you can harvest the wisdom!
I feel so uplifted from this recent Living A Course in Miracles series. I got to share so much about the harvesting of the wisdom that I’ve been able to do. Sharing is so sweet! – the final replay is still up and available to listen to right now – and I’ve had so many emails from people telling me that they are really shifting their thinking and feeling so inspired and uplifted! YES!
If you’re ready to get inspired and get motivated to do the work – consider checking out my 7 week spiritual bootcamp class – Finding Freedom – Check it out – when you do, you’ll know if this is your next step! Class begins July 18. Join me!
