Road Signs
for self help and personal development
|
A Road Through the Woods…
…a personal and spiritual journey and some of the road signs that help me
find my way…
This abandoned road ran through the woods behind my
home in rural Mississippi in the early 1970’s…
I’ve been lost in these woods before. I have been
searching for my way for several decades now, a student of one or another
philosophy or religion or self-help system for almost forty years. We are
always where we are supposed to be, doing what we are supposed to be
doing, and Spirit has posted road signs so we are never truly lost. |

I have discovered a few things on my path:
 |
God
(Spirit, Universal Intelligence) is Love, and Love is all there is.
|
 |
Every
single condition or situation in my life is reflecting how much I love
myself.
|
 |
There is
no waiting until I arrive to be happy, to be fulfilled,
to be loving and loved. There is only now, only the Journey.
|
There is no destination –
the journey is the thing.
The road of personal growth and spiritual development
is well traveled today. Our seeking leads us down many roads, some useful,
some frustrating.
We are exactly where we are supposed to be, doing exactly what we are
supposed to be doing. Every thing happens for a reason and a purpose and
there is value in where we are, right now, at this point in our journey.

Self help
A spiritual
advisor told me that I was the
self help industry’s dream – trying to improve myself enough to actually
like myself, maybe even love myself. It kind of insulted me when she said
it.
But I realized that if every situation and condition
in my life – my relationships, my health, my bank account – if every thing
in my life reflects to what extent I love and accept myself – well, how am
I not loving myself enough? Let me count the ways.

Tools for passing through shadows
I’ve been passing through a space of shadows
for the past several years. Using these tools, I can finally
see a little daylight ahead. This web site is a dream I am living. I am
earning my master's in journalism, another dream. Some things are
going well, some are not. Maybe you can identify with me.
I used the following tools to move forward out of
that dark space – and now I can tell you I feel more alive and joyful than
I ever have.
 |
I reaffirmed my spiritual quest for meaning and
purpose in my life
|
 |
I renewed my connection with Spirit through Prayer.
|
 |
I
relied on meditation, affirmation and visualization.
|
 |
I subscribed to
upbeat newsletters.
|
 |
I read good books and used meditation programs.
|
 |
I
reaffirmed my Reiki training.

Let me share with you
the road signs and guide posts that help me on my Journey toward loving
and accepting myself more, toward living a happy and fulfilled life.
These are the tools that I am finding most effective in getting to know
myself, increasing self-esteem, dealing with depression and feelings of
hopelessness, and creating a better life. If I can live the life of my
dreams, you can do it, too.

Great Books:
"You Can Heal Your Life" and "The Power is Within You"
by Louise Hay
I found Louise Hay's
books at a time of personal crisis almost ten years ago. This book
literally saved my life. I have dealt with depression and feelings of
inadequacy all my life. This book, and its follow-up, was life changing.
You Can Heal Your Life is an eye-opening experience written in loving
kindness from a woman who has experienced some of the toughest situations
life can offer. Now she is a beloved spiritual teacher. Her books can
change your life if you let that be okay. [Buy this book or get more information from Amazon
You Can Heal Your Life/101]
The Power Is Within You is a great follow up to You
Can Heal Your Life. This book shows you how to overcome emotional barriers
through learning to listen and trust your inner voice; experiencing your
true feelings; allowing yourself to receive prosperity; expressing your
creativity. It includes meditations for personal and planetary healing.

Conscious Loving, Conscious Living
Gay Hendricks is a co-author of “Conscious
Loving, the Journey to Co-commitment,” and “Conscious Heart,”
but the book that was written for me is “Conscious Living, Finding Joy
in the Real World.” My favorite quote: “We always get what we are
committed to having, no exceptions.”
[Buy
this book or get more information from Amazon Conscious Living : Finding Joy In the Real World]
I also recommend:
Conscious Loving: The Journey to Co-Commitment
Conscious Breathing: Breathwork for Health, Stress Release, and Personal Mastery
Learning
to Love Yourself
The web site address for the Hendricks Institute is
http://www.hendricks.com
"We are committed to creating a world in which everyone can
enjoy loving relationships, bodymind vibrance and soul-satisfying work. If
that's your commitment, too, we hope our resources can serve you and our
paths can intersect. Our
blessings to you, Kathlyn and Gay Hendricks"
And, yes, they have a newsletter!

There is nothing more lonely

an upbeat e-mail from a friend, forwarding a joke or thoughtful message.

encouragement. If it is listed here, I subscribe to it.

Meditation Programs
I am now using the Level Two
meditation tapes. This is an amazing program. When I first used the Level
One tapes, I felt like “nothing was
happening” but then I found change coming in unexpected ways. The cost
will floor you at first, but it has certainly been worth it for me… and
money has always been one of my challenges. Try the free demo.
If you don’t want to try the
program yet, subscribe to the free newsletter.
