Important questions to ask yourself.....

Last night whilst in bed reading the wonderful book by Dr Brian Weiss http://www.brianweiss.com/ title 'Miracles Happen' which delves into past life regression therapy chronicling patients stories and Dr Brian's synopsis totally brilliant and fascinating.  I came across this paragraph in the chapter entitled 'Freedom from emotional pain' it has struck a cord within me and today I have woken up feeling different.

"We have to juggle work, relationships, and interactions with other people at every moment. We have to deal with our daily needs. And so forget that we are spiritual beings, which leads to emotional turmoil. Spiritual beings should think and behave like spiritual beings; that is our nature and ultimate destiny. But when circumstances of everyday life lead us astray and we forget our true nature, that is when sorrow, worry, and fear enter. That is when peace, joy and happiness exit.

All we have to do is remember: remember who we are and what we are, what we have been through, where we have come from, why we are here. As we do this, emotional healing will naturally follow."

It made me think and I am going to conduct a sort of experiment and see if it works, I am going to re-read this paragraph everytime I start to feel overwhelmed and frustrated, as always I will keep you all informed as too my progress.

Butterflies and Rainbows

Last year whilst still going for chemo at the hospital I noticed on the drive up to the hospital nearly every time a rainbow in the sky, I also painted a picture of a rainbow over a stormy sea with one sailing boat in it please see below, another oddity was I found myself thinking about butterflies I even dreamed about them, whilst reading Bernie Seigels book Love Medicine and Miracles he mentions both rainbow's and butterflies in the same sentence, here's the symbolism attached to them:


Rainbows are a sign of hope
Butterflies are a sign of regeneration/transformation

It wasn't until I read that book and now realise the message being conveyed to me, the rainbows in the sky were trying to show me that if I had nothing else I had hope and the butterflies were pointing towards changing my life regenerating and transforming into the butterfly I truly am inside.


This picture means so much too me it was the only painting I did last year whilst going through the hell that is chemo and this is how I can now interpret it, the sea and sky is moody and fierce signifying the cancer, I myself am symbolised by the lone sailing boat struggling in the stormy sea, the rainbow offers me a strong message of hope that I will get through this and come out the other side and to date that is what I have done, weathered the storm and returned somewhat changed but ultimately triumphant. I really needed to write this down and remember it because somewhere inside me, something is telling me its very important.


Sending you all rainbows and butterflies
Love and light
