What I have learned, been reminded of recently, that I had forgotten.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

The passing of my parents has driven home the idea and powerful concept that all things change, nothing stays the same.  We sometimes get into the mind space that the things in our lives, including other people, will always be there.  We think also that we own things, that they are ours, that we will have them forever.  When we go through the loss of those closest to us we start to transform our thinking in this respect, or at least we are given an opening to create the possibility of a new way of thinking.  I suppose that some people, if not many, never get this and continue to live their lives as if all is the same.  Sometimes we have a moment when something, some event, takes place that either transforms or begins a transformation within us.

Given this new transformation that has and is continuing to take place within me, I am learning that our relationships are all that we truly have in life.  Whether it be about being of service to others or about experiencing love towards another, it is important to pay full attention to it, to definitely not take any of it for granted, to be fully there for the experience.  It will all change, this we know now.  This is a universal law, the way things and life is, everything changes, nothing stays the same.  While we are truly blessed to have the experience, say, of loving another, we need to be fully present to the experience and enjoy it for what it is and for how ever long it lasts.  The teaching is to give ourselves fully to the experience, to be there completely, to not hold back but also to stay present to the fundamental truth that everything changes.  I further believe that this experience, its essence, the love that I experience, for example, that we do take this with us.

Self Discovery through Holistic Counseling.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Becoming aware of that which has been hidden most of his life, to that which has been truly determining his very being in life, allows one the opportunity to change his life. Once one gets who he has been being in life, the second component of the holistic process is for the individual to begin to create his life as a possibility. Once the understanding of the self-limiting belief is realized, the individual is now able to truly create a new possibility for himself and his life.  Getting the self-limiting belief creates the space or an opening for a possibility or even possibilities to be created not as a result or product of the internal barrier but from or out of nothing.  It is only from knowing that which has limited us that possibility can truly be created.  As with the self-limiting belief, possibility exists in language.  Once one gets the language that he has been being, that has defined and limited him through being his self-limiting belief, it is at this point that he can begin to recreate himself through the power of his word. Who we are is our word.  In is in ones language or word that one has access to changing his life, and creating possibility and change for himself.

Our Nature as Human Being Involves Resistance.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

As human beings we do not really want or like to change.  We like for things to be the same, for us not to have to put forth much effect to have what we say we want.  We do not want to change and even, will resist change especially if another human being attempts to help us.  Yes, we do change but we have to first get it that we do not want to change.  Accepting our resistance is important for the process.  We must first accept the fact that we will resist change in order for us to take it into consideration in our planning to transform our lives.  It is important for us to plan and to make goals but it is equally important for us to plan how we will resist the process, will resist our achieving the goals we set.  Such planning gives us power to respond appropriately when needed.

In my work in recovery I counsel people in how to recognize when they are resisting, when they are doing things to counter the goals they set and say they want.  Such insight is important and necessary if individuals are to say in the program of recovery.  The resistance will also show up in the very suggestions that are given, by a sponsor or therapist.  The tendency is not only to resist but to continue to do it his or her way, with the results usually the same, much of how it was in the past.  Our tendency is to try to do things and life our way, even when we continue to get the same results.

Taking suggestions is one of the keys to recovery and transforming your life.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

Our tendency is to continue in the direction that we are headed.  Our tendency is to continue in the direction that we are headed unless something happens that will create a necessity to alter our chosen path.  Once we pause to contemplate the direction that we are headed and begin to consider a possibility our life we do enter a space of true change and transformation.  For us to utilize the insight that is generated from this space will require that we seek the assistance of another person, of another human being.  If we do not seek the assistance of another person our tendency will be to get back into the habitual way of being from which we came, that created our current life situation.  This requires that we communicate with another person and allow that individual to help direct us, to assist us in our journey.  No recovery or transformation takes place unless we communicate with another human being.  To gain the benefits of this communication requires that we take suggestions from another human being.

Our tendency is to stay the same.

Posted on by Dr Harry Henshaw

While we realize that change is both important and necessary, we will have a tendency to stay the same, to not change.  We are creatures of habit in just about everything that we do in life.  For us to change we will have to do a variety of things, most of them counter to how we have been doing business in life, sometimes for years.  First we have to outline what it is we need to do. For this we will need help from others, through counsel or sponsorship.  Second we need to create a schedule that will give us the opportunity to implement what we have come to believe is necessary for our transformation.  Third, we have to stay committed to the program that we have created and realize that it will take time, that it will not happen immediately or over night.  We have to be patient and persistent.  Realizing that our tendency though is to stay the same give us power to transform our life.
