Impact and Recall

"That which we witness, we are forever changed by,

and once witnessed we can never go back."

Angeles Arrien

Sit by a candle and stare into the flame and be aware of what memories surface in the mind.  Begin jotting down incidents from childhood and be amazed by what comes floating to the top.  Recall uncomfortable moments and re-experience how it makes the body feel when experiencing our personal strength and endurance.

Then take the same actions but with intention to recall moments of joy or happiness or security.  Experience how differently these thoughts impact emotions and tension within the body.  Reliving moments can increase our sense of belonging and stability.

The thoughts we think just as the situations we experience impact our perception.  It is up to us to determine which belongs to us and what needs to be released.  This not only promotes better health, it also makes us feel lighter and more buoyant.  Our perception is more likely to stay with a positive view which increases our willingness to embrace all of our lives.
