Good for you! Change is always good. God is great at making life easier and better. Be grateful, and you'll be amazed at how much things can change for the better.

This year I'm spending New Years Eve alone, and since my focus has shifted from mindless partying and drinking, I will instead sit down and work my way through this beautiful little exercise to enter the new year consciously and with new intentions. It will help me reflect on who I am, and who I'd like to be going forward. By Nedra Glover Tawwab, Boundaries expert, writer and therapist. 1. In what ways (big and small) have I grown? 2. What limiting beliefs do I need to release? 3. What stressed me out the most, and what can I do to reduce my stress in that area? 4. How will I nurture myself in 2020? 5. What do I need to make room for in 2020? 6. What habits do I want to create, break, or refresh? 7. What do I need to learn more about? 8. What boundaries do I need to implement to have healthier relationships? 9. What's one small thing I can do to change my life? Self-awareness is one of the most essential parts of growth. Who will join me in doing this exercise tonight? Happy New Year, and Happy New YOU. ✨

Forgiveness is a process. You can't just say I forgive you and it be so. There are stages just like grief. The answers will come in times of reflection. Meditate for understanding on why he still has this affect in your life. Only when you understand where its coming from will you be able to completely let it go. As far as it affecting your daily happiness...keep your mind focused. Control your mind or it will control you. Just a lil insight from my own experience.

Hey Ivayo, sounds like you had a life changing experience with Ayahuasca, would love to hear more about it. Im sure your spirit will guide you to the best place for you (of course if you come to London, would be great to cross paths). Il look into Dr Richard Bartlett. Sending love, light and blessings xxx

Hey Healingsista, so happy for you! At the moment I live in Weston-super-mare, but plan to move soon. Still didn't decide to Bristol, or London, or Amsterdam :) Just weeks before was at Ayahuasca ceremony in Amsterdam, and Aya ( the Great Spirit of Earth, or.. who knows, maybe the Spirit of Life in this amazing Universe ) totally heal and free me, and.. speechless.. still in integrating process, but one thing is for sure. Now I feel alive, so alive, and want and feel ready to grow, to service for the happiness and enlightenment of everyone. I knew lots of healing methods.. my favourite is Matrix Energetics on Dr. Richard Bartlett. I like theatre a lot and think about turning back theatre, especially improv theatre to our human spirit roots. Now ( these days ) more oriented in meditations and singing, but with the knowledge, that Aya is now deep in me I have no clue, where I will be tomorrow! Blessings, x x x

I've done exactly the same from Jan 2020 working part time, to enable me to explore the opportunities to help me grow as a person and to embrace life to the max. Currently embracing meditation, yoga and reiki ❤

2019 was quite challenging. My goals for 2020 are to complete the sale of our Cafe Bar in January and then once the sale has completed to start home schooling my 12 year old son. I want to spend more time at home with my family and live a work, rest and play balanced life doing what I love doing.

Thank you for letting me join this site where hopefully I can fulfill my life and live in peace, happiness and filled with love and care... X

Wow, thanks Joh. I am learning mindfulness and Practicing letting go, and I do meditate. I am much calmer now than I was 8 months ago. I think it's just a build up of emotions and stress, plus regressing back to how I was before I met my wife. I did live with my mum and late stepfather then, due to a lot of factors. Mental health being one of them. I did have many negative influences in my life then, and they started to resurface in the last 18 months as my happiness deteriorated. I think I may need more counseling sessions and to really Express and have a conversation with my mother.

Hello everyone. I am a new member here. I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I like so many in this world struggle with anxiety and depression and suicidal thoughts. I am here to listen and to share my life's experiences with anyone that needs it. I am here for you. You are not Alone

Yes this is normal. Try 'Life After Loss' with Louise Creswick on Facebook. She is well-ualified and runs a grief and loss community (closed so that it is private) with free resources, activities, personal messaging and an opportunity for one to one support when these dreams offset you. I think dreams are a natural part of trying to work out what has happened. There is not end point to grief - it can appear absent and then be triggered off (which is what these dreams appear to be doing). It is good to reflect on them - see if they seem to be helping to learn anything. It may also be worth looking at if there are are common themes which keep coming up - as these could be the gates through which you may be able to resolve some of the haunting that you feel. Be kind to yourself x

I can suggest a resource on Facebook - Life After Loss with Louise Creswick. She supports people who are trying to come to terms with grief and other forms of loss. They have a closed community with free resources, healing activities and any time you are really struggling; you can contact her for a one to one.

Hello fellow sparks of infinitesimal light ✨ I'm so happy to have found this , a place I can share without feeling criticized or condemned for my spiritual view on life with like minded people ?

Yesterday was the Winter Solstice-- Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere-- now officially winter, funny when it has been winter here for a couple of months already... This is always the most important of the astronomical divisions of the year ( Spring and Autumn Equinoxes, Summer and Winter Solstices) since, while much of the coldest weather may be yet to come, it means the days will begin to get longer and we begin the climb back to spring and summer. Meanwhile we enjoy the short days in the great beauty of the cold season, enjoy the long dark nights indoors with loved ones and/or in sacred contemplation alone. We may long for the company of others, often, but time spent solitary is vital for our intellectual, emotional and spiritual development. Make art, look at art, read, think, meditate, pray, whatever practice or practices take you out of your cluttered daily mind and into quieter deeper and richer places. But take time too to celebrate-- eat something wonderful, giving thanks for every ingredient and every person involved in getting it /them to you, play or listen to music, sing our loud and dance! Dance for celebration of the dark night, the dark soil, the dark blood from which springs all life, and dance for the light of the fire, the cozy reading lights, the comforting candle, the sun that shines still on crystal snow, and that works her way back to warm the land again! It was a fittingly dark day here for the shortest day of the year-- there was a pink glow in the south and east, in the early afternoon, below mostly cloudy skies, but at that time I was busy hauling wood from the bush.. By the time I was ready to take photos, the skies had closed in and it was snowing.. .Snow Mother wants to be sure we know this is her season!

The best thing you can do for yourself is to let it go. Start working on yourself. A similar thing happened to me, but after a while of losing my way and feeling numb, I took the decision to empower myself, to make me better. It's really hard to let go of one you love. If I'm honest, I still love my ex. But when they tell you " I don't love you and don't want to be your wife ", there's no point trying to convince them otherwise. So my advice to you is, turn you attention towards yourself. You won't be able to fully understand what happened with her. Mine has told me several different things that aren't quite the truth hopefully to make me feel better about it. But it doesn't matter. Another person can't make you happy. They can add to happiness, but can't make you happy. Letting go is your best option. If it's meant to be, it will be. Everything in life is temporary, and everything changes. I wish you luck with whatever happens.

What are you grateful for today? What are you thankful for this year? Let's reflect together on the positive! In our magazine, we have several articles about gratitude - how and why it has such a positive impact on our lives. For example: The top 5 benefits of gratitude practice - one of which are "Happier and more positive emotions." In the article about gratitude practices we learn that people who experience the most gratitude tend to: Feel a sense of abundance in their lives. Appreciate the contributions of others to their well-being. Recognise and enjoy life's small pleasures. Acknowledge the importance of experiencing and expressing gratitude. Another article introduces several kinds of gratitude journals. That's quite convincing, isn't it? So let's start by sharing what we are grateful for.

I have severe IBS, which I have battled with for about 9 years. It has caused me to have social anxiety and I no longer have a social life because I am too scared of not making it to a toilet on time and when I do, most of the time I’m too embarrassed to go, if there are other people in there. I’ve tried all the different medications and had hypnotherapy... and nothing seems to help with it. People will often laugh about it and not understand how truly awful it is to live with. Often people, when they have a tummy bug, will call in sick and feel sorry for themselves but when you live with these symptoms every day, you don’t have the option to do this ?. I’m filled with dread every time someone invites me out or round to their house and I will make an excuse not to go, no matter how much I would like to. How do other people cope with this? xXx

Does anyone else suffer from fibromyalgia? I have it and although I’m stubborn and push myself to continue to live a normal life, I find that people are never very supportive, understanding or empathetic. I know I have a very high pain threshold but people are so dismissive and try to make you feel like a hypochondriac. I have so much empathy for others and always try to help other people any way I can, so maybe that’s why it upsets me so much but I know I’m not on my own of fibromyalgia sufferers, who feel this way. I'm always thinking of and looking after other people and there is never anyone that seems to care whenever I’m ill or I feel like crap. I’m so proud of myself for managing to still work full time and carry on as normal, although at times it can be hard, but then people’s lack of care make me feel useless sometimes.

Well...how do I start, I wonder? I am very awkward and shy in real life. I probably come as a cold person...but anyone interested in being friends? Awkward people can hang with awkward people. And then we can start character development. (INFP)

My name is Jeremy. 40 years old. I have a 10-year-old daughter that means the world to me. After two long-term relationships, spanning half my life, I found myself feeling lost and unsure of who I was anymore. So many years spent trying to be somebody I'm not for usually the wrong reasons, had left me seeking the truth. I've always felt a little different and out of place. This strange feeling that I'm here for a greater purpose, but no idea what that is. One thing I know for sure is that I'm not here to hurt anybody or spread negativity. Actually I believe it's the opposite. I believe I'm here to help people and spread love and kindness. Shine a little light into the world.

Hola! Interestingly I know the moment of pushing too well and know that many Fibros have that pushing idea in their heads. In yoga we try to bring this down to relaxation in movement. Still movement is super important. Pushing yourself into something that you are not will always make you feel hurt (especially with a certain belief system). As well Fibro can be part of a pain causing trauma that was never released, the soul cries, is pain and it grows through the body (a from of rheumatism). The Mediacl Medium (Anthony William) taks about a version of an EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus). And I can find a balance in that. Maybe Spirit finds is way in the expression of pain in this way: "Hey, wake up, you have an emotional pain!" Why is it so difficult to find out or find? Usually the white blood cells are in slightly higher numbers. The docs say: "Oh, yeah, you might had..." So they don't look for more. Then they check physical structures and find something evidences that coudl agree to one thing: Fibro. But there is no real test giving you the result. Williams says that only one type of EBV is really known but there are 60! And one would make you feeling the Fibro. So, I guess people have to dive into the inner wisdom. Obviously there is a something stuck (trauma, emotion, intruder, occupation, virus). A good alternative healer could read that through Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Reiki etc. or (a good!!!) maestro/curandero/shaman can help through it. Find out what bothers you in your life, what is holding you back, what sits on your heart and creates pain in your emotional or spiritual body - and all immunsystem-symptoms etc. will align because these are symptoms telling you where you have to look at. Joe Dispenza says it so nice: We can not change matter with matter. That goes back to a saying of Einstein: You can not solve the problem your have created with the same mind-set. Mind-thought-waves are matter. Change is needed. https://soundcloud.com/medicalmedium/epstein-barr-virus-revealed

That's a very interesting reaction. Has it happened to you before? When you sit still in daily life, I mean. Or do you think it was triggered by something else?

Hello! I don't know you or your life at all, but based on what you've written I think it might be best to ask yourself if you're truly being compassionate towards others or if you're just giving your energy away to them without regard for how much you should keep for yourself. In order to develop the ability to feel unconditional love for your fellow humans it's imperative that you learn to love yourself unconditionally first—perhaps even MORE than you love others, because you need a solid foundation of love to start from before you try to build on top of it. Take care of yourself. Forgive yourself. Treat your body and mind with the same kind of love that you'd like to give to others. As far as how to transform fear into love, I'm afraid (no pun intended) that I don't know. I'm still looking for the answer to that as well, but if I find any interesting resources I'll be sure to post them here. <3
