Gratitude . Walking . Affirmations . Healing

Posted on November 29, 2008 by lautrec

Rocks . Road . Fall

As I look back on this past year I know that one of these three things have saved my life: Gratitude, Walking and Affirmations. They have helped me heal and led me to new ways of thinking and living. I am very grateful for the change in my life.

The gratitude keeps me in a spirit of acceptance of what I have and who I am.

The walking just keeps my mind clearer and my body stronger. The visual stimulation that I get everyday from the scenery has helped me get back to my love of nature and it has inspired me to draw again.

The affirmations help me to reach out to the future and to possibilities and to others. I not only affirm good things for myself, but I affirm good things for my family and my friends. My affirmations for my loved ones at this point are manifesting themselves in amazing ways. I am growing in my ability to make affirmations for myself and to make them come true.

My healing has been helped along by all these things and by the help of my family and friends. My healing has been helped by Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra, Ernest Holmes and others. I am grateful for the journey that I began about a year ago. I am grateful that I have been transformed.

Louis Hay or Rather Louise Hay . You Can Heal Your Life

Blue Light

I am always checking my stats as I have always been obsessed with numbers and I find it fascinating how people end up finding my personal writings or my business directory pages. The other day I began to notice that many of you were coming to me looking for Louise Hay by punching in Louis Hay in Google. I happened to misspell her name the other day and evidently stumbled upon a common mistake.

Louise Hay is the author of the bestselling self help book, “You Can Heal Your Life”. You can find out more about her books and her work here at LouiseHay.com or at HayHouse.com.

My “Bowl of Abundance”

Posted on September 20, 2008 by lautrec

There is a section on my daily walk that I call my “Bowl of Abundance”. Before I get to this particular spot there is a beautiful path that is covered on both sides with tall trees that make for something of a dark tunnel. As I approach this spot, the light from this open space floods the tunnel and welcomes you to come in. When you walk into the space, you get the feeling that this marvelous place of green grass, specimen trees and endless blue sky was created just for you. In reality it was; this beautiful spot was transformed into a public park some years ago from a toxic Superfund site. It is the best part of my daily walk and sometimes after my five mile journey, I will take a few moments and take in the beauty of this place.

The principle of abundance that I am learning about is one of that I have gleaned out of Louis Hay’s “You Can Heal Your Life“. As I was coming out of my depression, this part of my daily walk became my own personal bowl of abundance. The sky is so open here that it feels like a gigantic bowl that has been turned upside down. I guess in that sense it is my dome of abundance. This place symbolizes my own reworking of my mind and my spirit to concentrate more on good things, to be grateful for what I have and to believe that I deserve a bountiful abundance of every good thing in the universe as we all do.

I am grateful for the healing power of good physical, mental and spiritual habits.

Sanity Is A State Of Mind

It's all a little fuzzy

This statement is maybe not as ridiculously obvious as it sounds. Maybe you need to read it again. For those of us who do struggle with staying positive and staying “On the Happy Road”, as my father calls it, this is a marvelous truth.

As Louise Hay says, You use your mind; It doesn’t use you.

Peace.

Why I Started Walking

: My Path

I have always wanted to write a real blog, you know one that was truly personal and not a business blog like my others about travel, restaurant reviews and websites. This is what this blog is all about; my random thoughts that come to me on my long daily walks that are doing so much for my body, mind and spirit.

I walk about 5 miles a day along the banks of the Delaware River. It is a marvelous place to walk because the path is well maintained and everyone is free to use it and the scenery is so beautiful. The walks are great for my physical health, but they also are doing wonders for my mental health and my spiritual well being.

I will reveal something here that is very personal, but I want to share this because I think it might help someone. I started walking because my life seemed hopeless a short time ago. I am in the process of walking out of a severe depression that hit last year when my former classmates from high school invited me to my 30th Class Reunion. For some insane reason, this invitation and the thought of going sent me into a six month long downward spiral that I thought I would never recover from. In my desperation, a friend of mine recommended the book “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay. It helped me to grab a hold of the few strands of reality left in my life and I have been slowly walking out into the light since then.

My walks are in a very true sense, saving my life. These words are a record of my steps on this walk.

Gotta go for now, I am off to do my walk and to learn a bit more about myself and the universe.
