Be Strong

Post23 Apr 2011

The reward for getting out of the BKWSO is amazing strength. If there is any karma involved in waking up to the reality of the BKWSO, it is that YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU THOUGHT.

Below are some natural remedies that can help if you decide to become master of your own destiny. The Bach flower essences were created by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930’s.
They are a natural way of healing the individual by focussing on the emotional state rather than the physical disease.

He discovered that certain flowers and trees contain a particular essence in which to help particular emotional states. Our thought patterns govern our emotions and our emotions govern our thoughts. When we feel negative this can manifest into imbalances in our physical and emotional selves.

'Learning.'
'After a while you learn the subtle difference
Between holding a hand and chaining a soul,
And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning
And company doesn’t mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts
And presents aren’t promises –
And you begin to accept your defeats
With your head up and your eyes open
And with the grace of an adult, not the
Grief of a child.
And you learn to build all your roads on today
Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain
For your plans.
After a while you learn that even sunshine
Burns if you get too much.
So plant your own garden and decorate
Your own soul – instead of waiting for
Someone to bring you flowers.
And you will learn that you really can endure,
That you really are special.
And that you really do have worth.
So live to learn and know yourself.
In doing so, you will learn to live.'
