So yesterday I went back to review the notes I had taken during those sessions and just wanted to share with everyone.

Maybe something will strike a cord, maybe not, maybe you will find it corny but at the time some of the thoughts gave me peace

So here goes....( in no specific order)

Today I will...

Let go of judgement ..of myself, my condition and pain

The mind creates complexity, the mind is not peaceful, it prejudges

Be more loving of myself

Find value in everything

Find a purpose in each day each moment

Choose to heal instead of need to know

Stop needing to know about my illness and obsessing for control

Wanting control implies not having it

I will let go and find out what will happen

Can I really let go of what I think and know and maybe just maybe allow it to be better than what I think it is

The past and the future reside only in the mind...joy exists in the now. Choice only exists in the here and now.

Evolve at your own pace

Fear comes from limits

Fear is reactive

Fear doesn't come from the spirit

Fear is toxic and exaggerates pain



So many of us lose our old selves... dont...Choose to be positive, choose to contibute , choose to be Shelley or Peg or Dabbo or Dawn or Jo or BB or DiMarie or Fish

Near the end of our time together, my hypnotist told me write a letter to my body ...thank it for being, for being patient and tell it how much you love it unconditionally. I think maybe I will do that tonight after all this time.
