Holistic Healing from Past Negative Events

Your past has shaped you into the person you are today - mind, body, heart and soul. Circumstances from your past may have been healthy and beneficial, traumatic and life-changing, or neutrally somewhere in between. Though you may feel grateful for the positive experiences, you may also curse the negative ones or those people you perceive were responsible for creating them. If you find yourself still holding resentment, anger, and blame for negative events from your past, perhaps it is time to forgive and let go. Emotions such as those can occupy your mind with negativity, stress your physical body, pervade your heart with unsettling emotions, and tear away at your soul.

Return to the present moment. Are you safe? Do you have a roof over your head? Can you choose to be happy? Can you engage in fun activities? Do you feel someone is ruining your life right now? Are you able to stop thinking about the past and focus on the present? Can you find the blessings in past turmoil? Are you able to help or inspire others from your experiences?

Empower yourself now by taking responsibility for your holistic self and creating a new future based on self-awareness, positive growth, and a transformed perspective.

I surrender any negativity related to my past. It is the present and this moment is what I choose to focus on. I am now creating an empowered future based on an empowered sense of self. I choose peace and refuse to allow negative thoughts, feelings, and actions from my past to prevent me from reaching my potential. I am strong!

Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?

You may have heard the saying, "I am my own worst enemy" and at times agreed to the claim. Though treating others well is important, consider how you treat yourself. Are you consistently showering yourself with love and respect, or are you being an enemy to yourself - consciously or subconsciously causing dysfunction, chaos and imbalance? You are a holistic being who requires healthy attention to all life aspects and areas in order to manifest true progress and reach human potential. Keep your thoughts and words regarding yourself honest, affirming, and focused on your inner passions and dreams. Lift your emotions from self-defeating sadness and victim consciousness to ones that feel empowering, confident, and energizing. Create relationships of integrity with others who are healthy, supportive, and inspiring. Use personal development or spiritual awareness techniques to help get you started. Honor your body as a sacred vessel. It is your vehicle to express your true divine nature. Eat healthily, rest properly, and exercise for maximum benefit. Connect spiritually to your higher self, God, angels, Buddha, Jesus or with whomever you are divinely aligned. Prayer, meditation, journaling, and reflection can promote self-discovery, understanding of life circumstances, and community support. Be good to your holistic self - mind, body, heart and soul.



I treat myself with kindness, love and respect. I honor my mind, body, heart and soul for the brilliant gifts they are. I am grateful for this time on Earth and steadily and progressively move forward on my journey to reach my full potential. I am my own friend.

Holistic Healing Effects of Music

Music has several components to it, including the lyrics, melody, rhythm, instrumentation, pitch, movement, and voice. Undeniably, music can have an effect on your mind, body, heart, and soul. When you want to feel pumped up and energized, a fast-beat, rockin' song can help get you there. When you feel romantic and want to be intimate with your partner, a sappy love song can set the mood. When you need inspiration, listening to spiritual music can uplift you. When you just want to relax your mind and regain focus, easy listening can soothe the chatter. Dancing and body movement to music can also be therapeutic. Allow your ego, heart, mind, and body to release stagnant energy, negative emotions, and draining attachments as you sway, pound, clap, and connect with an ancient aspect of your soul. See yourself as a tribal, creational being close to the physical and metaphoric cradle of civilization. Sound is believed to be the primordial element of our existence: "In the beginning, there was the Word," Masonic (mother sound), Aum is the eternal sound of all that exists.

I listen to music that frees my mind, nurtures my heart, moves my body, and stirs my soul. I connect with my creational roots and allow music to heal my mind, body, heart, and soul. I am one with the universal vibration.

Comparing Your Relationship Partner to Parents

Have you ever compared or contrasted your romantic partner with either your mother or father, i.e. your husband with your father or your wife with your mother? Your family of origin can have strong influences (both good and bad) on your values, beliefs, personality, and even the foods that you enjoy. When you develop a commitment with someone special, you may inadvertently take notes and compare that person with the way your mom or dad did things. Making comments like, "I'll only eat chocolate cake that my mom bakes!" or "My dad could easily fix that!" can be hurtful to your partner and create tension in your relationship. It's important to think prudently before your verbalize or act on your reflexive sentiments. The relationship you are in now is the one you need to foster, feed with happiness, and continue to evolve. Be open to different perspectives and approaches from your partner, even if they vary greatly from what you've been accustomed to since you were a child.



I honor the romantic relationship with my partner as our own. I am open to receiving all the good my partner has to offer. New experiences and delights come to our relationship now. I release past hurts from my family of origin dynamics and now focus my current relationship intentions on good, love, and joy.

Do You Ever Think Beyond Yourself?

Self-care is important, but having the ability to think about another's needs is also integral for conscious personal development. On a daily basis, do you find yourself naturally wanting to help other people? Or, are you so consumed with your own world that you neglect to soulfully connect with those around you? Without compromising your boundaries, values, or morals you can participate in the giving and receiving exchange of energy that is part of the universal flow. Some people, without even thinking twice, are part of this energy, often subconsciously, because it is inherent in their nature. For example, they'll automatically slow down when they see a line of cars built up and let others merge onto their lane. Or if a friend's child gets sick at a birthday party, they are right there helping the mom clean up. Examine your attitudes and beliefs about being there for others in need. Is it natural for you to want to help? If not, what are the reasons, boundaries, and walls you've set up that prevent you from being of service to people, animals, or environments in need?

Without compromising myself, I give and love openly. It feels natural to me to be of service to others. I enjoy participating in the universal exchange of energy and feel part of a conscious, connected world. When all is stable and functional in my world, I am able to think, feel, and act beyond myself in a genuine, caring manner.

Defining Self-Worth

A good sense of self-worth is indicative of a confident person who maintains a healthy degree of esteem, value, and love for self. Healthy self-worth can further describe more than self-love and respect. It also involves not compromising morals, ethics, or true happiness for the sake of such things as increasing material items to feel better, maintaining harmful relationships, or indulging in transient, dishonorable temptations. Review your degree of self-worth. Are you holding true to integrity, healthy belief patterns, and honorable relationships? Or, are you making choices based on increasing your net worth, gaining false respect from others, or allowing other people's judgements to sway your personal opinion of yourself? To further examine personal worthiness, extend your assessment to how you treat others. Are you creating meaningful, win-win partnerships, or do you secretly hope to compete, conquer, and gain personal satisfaction in one-sided situations?

I value myself as a person and feel good about the choices I make. I know in my heart, mind, body, and soul that my decisions come from a true sense of worth, morality, and integrity. My true sense of self-worth is internal, not based externally on possessions or falsely secure relationships. My intentions are to create relationships that yield positive outcomes for all involved.

What Expectations Do You Have for Yourself?

When setting a schedule for the day or long-term goals for the next five years, it's important to assess the expectations you have for yourself. Consider if your thoughts, feelings, or proposed actions are positive, negative, or neutral. Through conscious and holistic self-awareness, you can learn how to actively engage yourself in the co-creation and manifestation process. When functioning from a place of negativity, pessimism, or self-destructive energy, the results that follow may not be what's for your highest and best good. However, when you affirm positive outcomes, feel joy in the work you do, and make healthy decisions, the product is more likely to be rewarding and beneficial. The expectations you set, even in casual sentences like, "This black cloud keeps following me," can be self-fulfilling. Instead of feeling a sense of struggle, regain control by first shifting your thoughts to an "in the flow" mentality. The initial changes may be challenging because you have to own responsibility and choose differently than what you've been doing, but ultimately, positive expectations can create positive results.

I start my day with a positive frame of mind, healthy emotional state, and affirmative action. I know it is my choice to live from a sense of struggle or sense of peace. I choose peace! I happily allow the day to unfold because I trust in the energetic flow of the universe. My intentions remain focused on good.
