All this experience has resulted in development of a profound healing process, called Inner Bonding, which anyone can learn and use throughout day (free course available - see resource box at end of article). The first step of this process is willingness. We cannot begin a journey without our willingness to do so. Without our willingness to do whatever it takes to heal, we will not begin journey of healing and evolving our soul. Doing whatever it takes means that we are ready and willing to feel, learn about and take full responsibility for our own feelings - our own pain, fear, anger, hurt, aloneness, loneliness, disappointment, depression, sense of safety, worth, lovability and joy. Willingness means that we are ready to become aware of creating our own feelings with our thoughts, beliefs and actions. It means we are willing to face whatever it is we fear in order to heal beliefs causing fear. Willingness means that we choose to be courageous and face our demons - shadow side of ourselves about which we do not want anyone to know. It means that we are ready to move out of denial about pain we are in, ready to stop hiding from ourselves. Willingness means that we are ready to become aware of how much we want control over our pain, over others, and over outcome of things. Until we are ready to see, without judgment, how deeply we want to control everything, and all overt and subtle ways we try to have control, we cannot choose to open.
| | TODAY, A WONDERFUL DAY Written by Hifzur Rehman
Believe me, today is most wonderful day of your life! You live in today; drink, dine, walk, talk, work and play today. Living today is not enough, make it a wonderful day for you. In order to make your today a wonderful day, get up from bed early in morning. While brushing your teeth, brush away unfounded fears about today. Look in mirror and say: "It's a wonderful day". Go for a morning walk. Look what you were missing in your life. The chattering of birds, smile of flowers and (good) morning breeze gently touching your body. What a wonderful day! After oxygenating your body in open air, sit down crossed legs on floor in a quiet place and go into deep meditation for 20-30 minutes with your eyes closed. Now open window of your imagination and see with your "inner eyes" a giant YOU (a very energetic, fearless and confident person). Visualize real YOU, a very powerful person within you. Take divine energy from your inner-self and charge your body with high powered currents. Isn't it amazing! Lucky you! No doubt, it's most wonderful day! What can be more refreshing than taking a hot water shower cleaning your body from head to toe. While shaving your beard, shave away weeds of fear, self-pity and helplessness. Rather grow an imaginative beard of faith, courage and confidence. Now look in mirror with your newly grown beard. Smile, smile, smile; it's a wonderful day.
