How true is this! The quest to change ourselves, to progress towards enlightenment whether spiritual or intellectual or both..... all starts with how we THINK. How we think effects how we SEE, even what we see..... and ultimately how we REGARD both OURSELVES and OTHERS.
If you can think of this in terms of your relationships then it becomes really relevant to all of us. The quality of our relationships directly affects how we perceive ourselves, whether we feel valued and loved, whether we're resilient emotionally and have a healthy self esteem. If we can adjust our thinking to enable us to access good relationships, with people can appreciate us it's gotta be worth looking at this side of ourselves.
For me any change within ourselves involves our MIND, BODY & SPIRIT - the human trinity.
To affect the most powerful, meaningful progress toward your goals it is fundamental to engage all three elements of yourself in the task. You cannot truly move freely in any direction without an acceptance of your whole self.
This is what therapy offers us all, the opportunity to discover and unite our whole selves and ultimately become a closer representation of our potential - we individuate and self actualise.
If you're not sure what this all means, no worries, I'm going to be putting together pages covering these ideas, with tips for working with them that you can use at home.
And so psychoanalysis was borne as an intellectural route toward self awarenes.
The spirit may fly rather less conventionally toward actualisation via the transpersonal route.
And your body, well this needs to be well grounded and at the centre of everything. Think of it as the control centre - without your body you would have no home from which to go exploring.
It's been said our body is our temple....perhaps it isn't quite that yet for you, not for me either! Maybe it's more of a garden shed? Or a simple two up two down......never mind, you can fix it up, you can move!
This is what this entire therapeutic process is about....moving on with your life.......toward wholeness, towards wellness - mind, body, and spirit!
Have a great Day! The sun's shining here through my window today...at last!! Everything looks so much brighter with a little sunshine don't you think?!
