Comments about the Power of Intention.
Aug 17th
I am currently reading a book by Wayne Dyer, The Power of Intention. This is a very powerful book. Its application to all human beings interested in transforming their lives is very direct, including those in recovery. All of our problems are the result of us being “disconnected” from our source, from intention or God.
While I believe that positive affirmation can help to transform a person’s life, to help them feel better, ultimately this transformation has to led to reestablishing that union that Dr Dyer talks about. Without the connection we live our life from ego, and with this comes the problems and struggles of life. It appears that meditation is part of this process for reconnecting.
The two modalities are important, positive affirmations and meditation. Ester and Jerry Hicks wrote about the power of affirmations and meditation for transforming a person’s life and way of being. When these two modalities are put together the therapeutic result can be very powerful.

Learning how to take care of ourselves requires making appropriate distinctions about ourselves, others and life in general.
Jul 13th
Learning how to take care of ourselves also involves making appropriate distinctions about ourselves, others and life in general. One distinction that is crucial for our well being is realizing how and from where much of our stress is primarily generated. While some of the stressors that we face are apart of what it is to be a human being, much of the stress that we experience is of our own creation. A great deal of the stress that we experience has its origin in our own personal story and the meaning we make about life, in the thoughts that we think. Once we understand that we are truly the cause, that we are responsible for the thoughts that we create or invent and that it is from these thoughts that much of our stress is generated, then and only then will we begin to be able to truly manage our stress and have the power to live the life that we want and love. Blaming others or situations for that which we experience will only limit our power, lead to frustration and eventually a great deal of stress.
Taking responsibility for life.
May 21st
It is important to take complete ownership and responsibility for your life. We do need to understand that we have created and chosen your life the way it is occurring for you. We are the cause of what we experience and our life. This is a true point of power, to fully accept and acknowledge this. We are the cause of life and not the effect, even though sometimes we believe we are the latter. Restoring our power is to assume our responsibility, for everything in our life. To practice taking responsibility is to accept life and ourselves as they are, fully, openly, with no blame.
Our tendency is to stay the same.
May 19th
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.
