“Work on Ourselves”
In a quote by Pema Chodron, the beloved American Buddhist nun states: “We work on ourselves in order to help others, but also we help others in order to work on ourselves.”
I want to present you with four meaningful words pointing us in the direction to cleanse, forgive, lift up and heal any emotional or relationship wounds we may have with another or others. Each of these spiritually charged words contain dynamic power and healing potential for self and what and who we direct them too. These words embodies and applied enlighten and renew.
Love — When we move into the spiritual potency of Divine Love and begin to express it toward another person or a relationship issue we have been struggling with, things start to transform for the better. The moment we entertain the quality of Divine Love in our heart, thoughts and prayers for others, vibrations of healing waves do their mystical work in renewing and freeing the tensions in relationship dynamics with other people.
Bless — Bless your enemies, know the highest good for each neighbor living around you. We cannot overuse the Divine quality and expression of silently or audibly giving a blessing in our prayers and within ourselves, knowing great good for another and other people. Affirm the highest and the best is unfolding in their lives. Good fortune fills their lives.
Bless others in your thoughts, words, actions and prayers. You will feel revitalized as a result. As you bless you have activated a Divine truth — ‘as we give it is given.’ You receive the benefits of showering others with your blessings.
Do Good — Doing good will erase many errors and hard feelings between people and in our relationships in general. It may sound like it is the last thing we want to do if or when we are angry and upset with people. However, we have the power to reverse and lift up the circumstances in our lives. We are in control of the quality of life we live.
Do good for people. Do good in family situations where there may be tensions with dear ones and relatives. Do good when things are off with a co-worker. Work the good in a situation. Think of what goodness you can add to any tangled happening or relationship. It is like a healing wand moving over and through our relationships with others. Do good and loving things.
Pray — Speak the best Truth and kindness you can in your prayer times. At any time affirm the nicest things unfolding in their lives. We know it when others pray for us. There is an uplift. Pay it forward. People have and are praying for us. It is like we are taking a spiritual bath to pray for others. We are enlivened and so is the person or persons we are enfolding in prayer, which is the highest Truth and mind action we know at the time.
