Dear Friend, I know it's been a while since I last wrote you. That's because I started a writing project six weeks ago (that I thought would take one week) and it's still not ready. It may be the most difficult piece I've ever done. I think you'll understand when you read it in a week or so. In the meantime, here's... The Three Keys To Healing And Changing - And The One Ingredient That Binds Them All Together The first key - WILL Are you willing? Are you willing to heal? Are you willing to change? "OF COURSE I AM!", you may be screaming, as you wish I were there in front of you so you could let me know in no uncertain terms. Maybe you are willing, and maybe you aren't. Either way, you need to know for sure where you stand right now. Nothing happens unless you're first willing. That goes for the good as well as the bad. You're constantly probing different options, different scenarios, different potential realities with your will. In fact, your will led the way to your present situation, no matter what it is. Much more was involved than just your will, of course, but will first "scouted it out". As the advance scout searches out the best path for the army to follow, so your will - like antennae - constantly searches for the 'best' direction for you to take. If you were willing to march into an emotional swamp, how are so certain that you're now willing to march back out? Don't underestimate this question of willingness. Your will finds the path you'll later walk on. By carefully considering and knowing your willingness, you're taking the first step to change. Willingness to move forward begins with freeing yourself from the patterns of the past, the emotions of the past, and the pain, scars, and damage of the past. Along with will, comes love. If the love is lacking, the change is limited. The fundamental question to ask yourself - "Do I love myself enough to change?" Do you love enough to change? The true core of your power lies with your LOVE and your WILL - and the interactions between the two. Love. Because of the misconceptions, the resistances, and the obstacles to love - we so often miss out on this most important ingredient to working with changing and healing ourselves. Out of whatever love you muster, comes your will. The greater the love, the more positive the will. The more you love, the more likely you'll change. And greater love always stands just out of view, just out of reach, waiting for you to beckon it closer. Love ALWAYS makes itself available to those who ask. Your love stands ready to enhance your will. As you allow the love, your willingness can free you from the encumbrances of the past. As you allow greater love and more love, your willingness can free you to find the hope and the light of the future. Not just pretty words. Concrete, measurable results can be achieved by first mustering your love and then mustering your will - as an initial step to changing not only your emotional state, but anything else in your life as well. Do you love yourself enough to change? Are you willing to change? It's always a good idea to process your thoughts and feelings - (by writing them out on paper as quickly as you can without stopping to analyze what you're writing) - as a way to gain greater clarity about the topic at hand. Get a clear understanding of where you stand. Look for blockages to your love and will, and know that you can change those blockages simply by choosing to. That's the nature of love and will - they're always available. You can always have all the love and will you want. The second key - CHOICE After will, the next step to changing anything involves choice. Either I choose, or I choose not to choose. Either way, I make the choice. Usually, we let choices be made by our inner child, our ego, or some other 'lessor' part of us. Who makes the choices in your life - you the adult or you the child? (And please don't make the mistake of thinking it's anyone or anything outside yourself!) Even the mundane task of selecting a restaurant to eat dinner always involves a choice on YOUR part, whether you choose to select the place yourself, or choose to put the burden on another. Either way you made a choice. Either you chose the restaurant or else you chose to have another choose it. The secret to working with choice is to make it more conscious. Start with the most insignificant ones. Do I put cream in my coffee? CHOOSE! Do I take a shower or a bath? CHOOSE! Do I shave or not? CHOOSE! Do I scratch my head? CHOOSE! And know that it's YOUR choice. The more you make yourself aware of the many, many choices you make during the course of a day, the stronger your power of choice can become. Conscious awareness of choice strengthens your muscle of choice. You also strengthen choice by bringing in the power of the possible. Possibility stands as a very real and vibrant energy that exists right now. The more you focus on what 'can be' - the stronger your present choices can become. And of course, don't forget to add love to the mix. Infuse love and the power of the possible into your conscious awareness of choice, and you'll be going a long way to make your choices more powerful - choices that 'stick', that have impact; choices that matter. Choices that actually change things. You infuse love and possibility simply by thinking about them, focusing on them, and allowing them in. The third key - ABILITY After will and choice, the third key lies with ability. Ability comes from, and develops out of, a desire to fix and cure inability. In other words, ability is born of necessity. An important point to understand about ability is that it has a tendency to follow entropy. Over time, your ability slowly deteriorates. If you could reverse the naturally-occurring entropy, then ability - your ability - can flourish. And how do you change entropy? Spirituality. That flow of energy that's taking you home. The relationship you have with your Creator. The entropy of ability reverses through the mastery and artistry of your spirituality. And so much of spirituality relies on love. The greater the love, the less your abilities diminish. So, essentially, to work with all three keys of accomplishment, healing, and change - work on letting in the love. Your effectiveness in changing what is to what can be - depends in large part on love. How much you love yourself, and how much you'll allow yourself to be loved by others. Love begins each of the keys, and love is the mixture that binds them together. The greater the love, the greater the opportunity for willingness, choice and ability to create a real and lasting change in your life. And remember, you can have all the love you want, anytime you want, simply by 'going inside' and asking for it. all the best, Mark Brought to you by Mark Ivar Myhre, The Emotional Healing Wizard fiercely slaying your emotional dragons!
