Soul Speak

"Nobody can advise you and help you, nobody. 

There is only one way. 

Go into yourself” 

~ Rainer Maria Rilke ~

Letters to a Young Poet

The earlier in life one figures this out to be a truth, the better it is for one's own peace of mind. It helps to begin practising self awareness as early as possible in one's life in order to become strong and fearless of Life's challenges and difficulties. Each day is a new day bringing in new lessons. To not be knocked down by circumstances and the environment, one needs to have a very strong base within.

Recently, an email from Louise Hay was so inspiring, I could'nt help but feel uplifted and grateful that the circumstances of my life drew me into my own inner world and discover its riches in my 30s. As the years go by our fear of life increases and our ways and habits become extremely conditioned. Our thoughts become more and more mind based and less and less heart based thereby creating a lot of resistance to new changes that might even save our lives.

Here's what Louise Hay wrote:

"I am proud to say that my mind is still intact at my age, when so many people are suffering from Alzheimer’s and Dementia these days. Much earlier in life, too. Everything begins with the mind. Body, mind and spirit must be balanced. To make the body and mind whole we must maintain positive thought patterns.

 

I believe we create every so-called illness in our body. The body, like everything else in life, is a mirror of our inner thoughts and beliefs. The body is always talking to us, if we will only take the time to listen. Every cell within your body responds to every single thought you think and every word you speak. 

 

Continuous modes of thinking and speaking produce body behaviors and postures and “eases” or dis-eases. The person who has a permanently scowling face did not produce that by having joyous, loving thoughts. Older people’s faces and bodies show so clearly a lifetime of thinking patterns. How will you look when you are elderly? I am happy to say that I look pretty damn good myself.

 

What we think is what we show the world. Our mental health and well-being thrive on nurturing our body and spirit. Being relaxed and centered and peaceful allows us to be strong and secure. Love yourself and know that I love you." ~ Louise Hay ~
