Today I’m feeling a little stressed – I’m writing this on Sunday and planning to travel on Monday and Tuesday to go to New Jersey to be with family for Thanksgiving and my birthday.  It’s a little stressful because I feel like I have more to do than I have time to do it.  Also, the travel is VERY hard for Bodhi – she gets totally stressed out and I’d like to make it as easy for her as possible so we’re stopping halfway to stay over night.  Normally, we’d stay with friends, but their cat is sick so it’s stressful to bring my dog and cat in the house right now.  So, we’re going to be at a hotel and I’ve never stayed at a hotel with Sattva.  So, it’s a little tricky.  I trust it will all go well, and I still get a little triggered around traveling.

Having a strong spiritual practice to lean into when there’s something challenging makes a difference beyond anything we can comprehend.

When the tough stuff of life happens, being able to NOT take it personally, and NOT get triggered into victim consciousness is a great relief.

It can seem hard to imagine, but we really can go from feeling like life is happening to us and we’re being punished, to seeing that everything is happening for us.  Everything is working for our benefit, and we can train our mind to see that – to see what’s actually true, instead of the repeating patterns of negativity and separation.

It’s difficult to believe, but as A Course in Miracles says, we don’t actually see what’s there, what’s true, what’s real, instead we see what we want to see.  We can have strong resistance to the idea that everything is just as we wish it to be.

Why would we wish for a loved one to die?  A flood?  Hurricane? Earthquake?  Bankruptcy? Cancer?

And yet all of these traumatic events can bring so much relief, healing and benefit if we are willing to see that all things work together for our good and there are no exceptions at all.

Opening our mind to the true and lasting healing is such a beautiful shift in consciousness.

We can learn to see with new eyes, and true eyes.

If you’re going through an emergency, a challenge, a stressful situation or major life-change, you can lean into my podcast.  I’ve got more than 650 episodes and I’ve just published another one.

NEW ACIM PODCAST EPISODE: my topic is Let’s Rise Up Above the Battlefield.  We can sometimes get caught in a battlefield mentality and then find ourselves in the muck and the mire of low vibrational thinking.  Forgiveness lifts us up above the battlefield and clears the air of negativity in a miraculous way.  In this episode I share my shift from seeing sin everywhere to being able to answer the cry for Love with Love and experience all the beauty and healing that brings.  We can forgive ourselves and set the world free.

We can use the challenges to help us rise in the light!  And, as I said yesterday:
The power of Love is within you, so you cannot fail as long as you put that Higher Holy Spirit Self in charge.
That way we’re not trying to solve the problem from the level of the mind that made the problem up in the first place.  Right? Yes!

Family gatherings, such as Thanksgiving are often triggers into feeling that we’ve regressed.  Prepare yourself.  Here’s a gift for you to do just that:  I’ve got a FREE Forgiveness Class – and you can register now for instant access.  This free class is a promo for a 7 week class on True Forgiveness that I think you’ll really enjoy.  Click here now to get free, instant access: Power of Forgiveness Free class
