Prickles

We all have rocks and prickles in our lives in one form or another.  It’s our little insecurities that either take us upwards on the road to success or take us downward into failure.  Me, I prefer success.

I’ve shared with you dozens of times that I made lemonade out of obesity. I used it as the main catalyst for my success both spiritually and in business. I believe it is the dish I got handed, so why not use it to it’s fullest advantage?

What have you been handed?  If you’re reading this blog, I’m going to hazard a guess that you have weight and size issues as I did.  Or maybe you’re one of the lucky readers who just love what I write and can see it’s application in your life aside from bodily size issues.  Whichever, let’s talk about using spiritual healing techniques for any problem and how I did just that over the last three weeks.

I took close to three weeks off in July.  I’d planned this time off long before I took a 50% decrease in income.  I’m afraid I let myself think too much about the so-called recession and badda bing! My thoughts manifested in my experience.  I knew I had to turn this around.

Beginning on July 27th, I began to do one hour of mental work from 7 am to 8 am daily.  I then studied my metaphysics materials for an additional hour at the end of my work day.  That’s two weeks ago.  Since then, I’ve got four potential clients in the wings and my sense of confidence that “All is Mental and that All is Good” has been firmly re-implanted in my mentality and in my experience.

I do my mental work from the basis that since all is good, and since all is mental, the Primal Element in life - the stuff from which everything is made - is mental and good, in fact, is goodness itself and so am I. What I do is with my thinking, I “ex-press” this goodness as new clients in my practice.  “Ex-Pression” means taking what exists inside me right now (I call it consciousness - the main substance from which everything else is formed using my thinking) and pressing it out from inside of me. I find this a very effective use of the Law of Cause and Effect.

Are you worth two hours effort a day to correct whatever your current challenge is? I think you are.

Love,

Pat

Nuts! Let's Run Away From Home.

I don’t think there’s anyone out there who can escape the problems that life throws at you, and sometimes, don’t you get to the point where you just want to fling up your arms in despair, crawl under your comforter and suck  your thumb? Well, that sure is one way to get within.

My last two weeks have been like that. I have gotten up every day thinking “What next?” I find myself indulging in self-pity, and that’s completely ridiculous because although there are three small areas in my life that I find challenging, there are dozens and hundreds that are just wonderful.

I remember in 2007 when my ice maker hose burst and created the hole in the ceiling in my downstairs bathroom - which subsequently tripled in size due to the wetness of the plaster, I was really “low.”  I had just finished remodeling my kitchen and bathroom and bang! Another re-do, and this after three years of fixer-upping.  But then, as now, the situation got fixed by perseverance and just taking one next step - the one you can see; yes, that little bitty one that seems unimportant.  Take that one.

Spiritual healing from obesity is like that.  Spiritual healing occurs because you have changed the way you think about your body, your self, your life.  That kind of change doesn’t happen all at once.  I know we all fantasize about those magic wand moments that only happen in the cartoons when a mere wave disappears all the gunk.  Spiritual healing isn’t like that.  It’s about one tiny fix at a time, and the next one, and the next one.

I watched “Dance Your Ass Off” last night. What a wonderful Big Girl, Big Boy show!  It’s on Oxygen on Monday nights and it’s the Big Folks version of the Biggest Loser + Dancing.  I loved it.  I love dancing.  I don’t do dancing.  I have Gabrielle Roth’s CD’s.  I’ve read “Sweat Your Prayers.”  I fantasize about winning the Lottery and having time and money to hire a teacher and dedicating myself to dancing my ass off.

What is it that locks us into our “places” unmoving?  I need you to help me answer that question.  I know this blog appeals to your heart, your inner places, and I’ve shared so many of mine with you.  won’t you please share yours with me?

Love ya,

Pat

Feruka Salt

The reality of self-healing or spiritual healing is that it doesn’t happen instantaneously like a television show with an introduction, a meaty middle and a successful (always successful, eh?) denouement.  I think it is sad that our consumerism has made us into a nation of - as Ferukha Salt said in Willy Wonka -

“I want it NOW, Daddy!”

Well, all you little Feruka’s out there , much as it looks like so much has become fairly instantaneous, weight loss through spiritual means isn’t quite in that category yet.  At The World of Within, my strongest effort is to teach you the basics of living a successful life.  Now you, like me, were dealt one HUGE lemon - obesity.  I can promise you this:  I turned mine into lemonade and I know how to help you do that too.  But you can’t have it immediately, Feruka.

No, you have to work for it.  I think I’m going to start listing Proving Spirituality as one of my hobbies on Plenty of Fish. I don’t think you’ve really habitualized an idea until you can use it and prove it.

I think you ought to read my book My Cats Have Seen Me Naked to get the complete gist.  In it, I provide a list of the work you need to complete and the tools to complete it.  Spiritual healing results in one thing that is different than diet and exercise: permanant healing.  And it takes longer because you’ve got to convince you. I can help you to do that.

I’m working behind the scenes these days with a Coach to make my offering more palitable for you.  I’d love to hear what you think about this site and it’s current offerings.  I would love you to enjoy your summer knowing you had the beginnings of a permanant healing in place regarding your self acceptance and the size of your body.
