Taking Back Your Power in Health CareWritten by Dave Lappin
Continued from page 1
This is not to say we toss medical establishment and all its health care aside. That would be foolish. Our society as a whole has not learned how to manage their own health successfully, so it must rely on external sources to help do this. I believe we must look beyond what we are doing now if we are really going to make headway in this health care crisis. We each have innate healing power, but until we begin to use that power, we will always be dependent on others to care for us. We must start by realizing that we are more than human beings. We are, as Dr. Wayne Dyer has stated, “spiritual beings having a human experience.” We have lulled ourselves into thinking that we are just flesh and blood and therefore have limited ourselves in what we can do. I have heard too many times of miracle cures taking place. Our world is truly at a precipice in more ways than one. We have ignored our power for too long. How many people know that they are spiritual, creative beings? How many people know that they can create miracles in their lives? How many people know that their thoughts are real and have an effect in their lives? How many people know that their real power lies within them and always has? Like Dorothy in “Wizard of Oz”, we too have power to “go home.” Until we accept spiritual as foundation of life, then real change will be elusive. “Spiritual” does not reside in one religion or group, but rather in all of us. All of our great spiritual teachers have taught us this. The The only “crisis” that remains is within individual and asking, “Am I willing to take back my own power and be creative being that I am? The Kingdom of Heaven truly is within.

Continued from page 1
Stage 1: Cocoon Stage This stage is characterized by feelings of comfort, as you are beginning to awaken to need to change. You begin to realize you could be so much more and recognize an error in judgment or dysfunctional pattern (s). Stage 2: Growth Stage This stage is characterized by feelings of discomfort, as you are beginning to stretch yourself, your abilities, your environment. You experience new ways of being and thinking and have desire to transform yourself. Stage 3: Change Stage This stage is characterized by feelings of panic and fear, as you are beginning to look, feel, and act differently. You have a gut instinct that this change will be good for you, and request that Spirit assist you & provide with you with guidance. Stage 4: Flight Stage This stage is characterized by feelings of confidence and courage, as you spread your wings to leave your old home to find a new home. You now recognize yourself as a beautiful creature, have excitement about future possibilities and you just do it. Stage 5: Conscious Stage This stage is characterized by feelings of inner peace and joy, as you remember and realize who you really are. You now understand that you are a co-creator and possess power to become whatever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. ***This article was adapted from Life Transformation 101 Workbook: How to Make Life Changes and Let Your Soul Be Your Guide
