What Happened and Now What?

Back to Basics: What Happened and Now What?
(July  has been a month of healing “crisis”  from which I now am emerging to experience my Self and my life anew.”)


This “healing” process seems to be a time of undoing and letting go, a time of “brain-washing” or “innocentizing” my mind.  Many times in my life, there has been a call to “step away” from a comfortable and fulfilled life and choose again.
This has included moving from one state to another, releasing several non-profit community holistic centers, I have established, changing from one lifestyle to another,…basically rewriting my life script on a blank page.

Sometime life is so full of “stuff”, there is no room to really see what is purposeful and meaningful.
When we are consumed with schedules, plans, expectations and commitments, we do not choose with total freedom.
Life sometimes begins to lead rather than to be a choice to follow one’s heart and happiness.
And so it is, we must stop and listen, reflect and choose anew what has heart and meaning.

Healing is awakening and cleansing.
Healing is stopping the “doing” and waiting for clarity.
Healing is finding peace within with what appears to be.
Healing is letting go of too much and allowing what is.
Healing is forgiving the past and living in the NOW moment.
Healing is trusting in the process.
Healing is the opportunity to get off the train and choose the next stage of life’s journey.

I am choosing.
I know my life is for giving.
I am fulfilled as I give that which I AM and have and create.
Sometimes past choices, commitments and expectations become the impetus rather than what is guiding us from within.

I am here to be truly helpful.
I am here to share the Love I Am.
I don’t need to have answers to know that Love guides my way.
I can trust that the Love and Happiness in me is my guiding light and delight.
And so it is, I remember my calling, my holy purpose and my path as I let Love lead me.



I am changed, made new again, by my willingness to relinquish what I thought was to be.
I am renewed in Spirit and in Love as I let go of my expectations and imaginings.
I am filled with a sense of innocence, curiosity and wonder as I trust in the beauty of each new day.
Every encounter is healing and holy, because I am remembering my Self in you and in everyone.

Yes, sometimes drama seems abrupt, surprising and stops us in order to get our attention.
For me, this “wake up call” was for both Robert and myself an opportunity to remember I am choosing.
I love the life I have co-created.
I choose to continue what inspires, teaches and touches my heart.

These Loving Reminders are a beautiful gift to me and always for you as well.
I am loving you everyday in everyway as I choose my life to be a gift to All.
Life is for giving.
I am the Gift.
It is in giving my whole Self that I realize the Gift I Am.

Blessing be….for the Blessings already are.
Betty Lue

We don’t need a “crisis” to wakeup to the richness of the life we have.
We simply need to pause and take a moment each day to forgive our ignorance, count our blessings and choose to extend love and peace to everyone.
Loving you always.


 


The 12 Principles of Attitudinal Healing
 
1.       The essence of our being is love.
2.       Health is inner peace, healing is letting go of fear.
3.       Giving and receiving are the same.
4.       We can let go of the past and of the future.
5.       Now is the only time there is, and each instant is for giving.
6.       We can learn to love ourselves and others by forgiving rather than by judging.
7.       We can become love finders rather than fault finders.
8.       We can choose and direct ourselves to be peaceful inside, regardless of what is happening outside.
9.       We are students and teachers to each other.
10.    We can focus on the whole of life, rather than the fragments.
11.    Since love is eternal, change need not be viewed as fearful.
12.    We can always perceive others as either extending love or giving a call for help.

Attitudinal Healing
 affirms that we are responsible for our thoughts and whatever feelings we experience.
Attitudinal Healing encourages us to re-examine our relationships, bringing them into the present by releasing past judgments and grievances.
Attitudinal Healing reminds us that perception is a mirror of what is in our mind.
