Emotional healing is just as important as physical healing. It is important to always keep a positive attitude. Sometimes this is not easy but whatever is keeping negative energy around you let it go. Eliminate stress from your life. Learn to meditate and pray. Find a quite place where you can awaken to your inner self. You are a beautiful loving caring person that can only experience love and happiness. If you thank about this daily good things will come your way. Always know you matter and love yourself.

LOVE: This is the most important thing we can do. Everyday tell at least one person that you love them. Tell yourself I love myself and I want other people to love me also. Open your heart to love and open your arms. It feels so good to hug someone. Do this regularly. We need to be more affectionate. Hug and Kiss someone today and tell him or her you love them. This is a good habit that will make the world a better place. Love is the greatest feeling that we can experience. It heals all emotional hurts. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.

COMPASSION: Show compassion to everything around you. Help those that are in need. Compassion is an outwardly expression that we can do to help humanity. It feels good to be compassionate. For me it is rescuing hundreds of animals from death and finding them loving homes. I extend my compassion to those that are less fortunate. Extend your compassion to the world. Help someone or an animal often and your rewards will be great.

GIVING: It is much better to give than receive. There is divine healing in this. The more you give the more you receive. This is so true. I give from my heart and my pocket book. My tax account once told me that I gave more to charity than any of his companies 700 clients for the income I make. Give of your time and money it all pays off.

SPIRITUAL: Take time to pray and meditate. Prayer is so healing and rewarding. It is important to believe in what you pray for. Pray and know that your prayers will be answered. Don’t beg by praying for the same thing over and over. Ask and you will receive. It’s that simple. People that keep repeating their prayers over and over are doubting. They have little faith. God is not deaf. He hears your prayers. You ask and know that the prayer is answered. Last year I owed $20,000 that I had to pay by January 1st 2004. I prayed in November and ask God once that I needed the money to pay for the $20,000 I owed. I did not beg nor did I doubt, I believed that God would answer my prayer. On December 20th I got a call from my mother she asked me if I had paid the bill yet. I told her no that I did not have the money. She said Tawana I will lend you the money from my savings account if you pay it back. Talk about an answered prayer. I never doubted. This was not exactly how I thought the money would come. I was thinking more like winning the lottery, ha, ha. Pray and meditate daily. To meditate find a quite place and go within to awaking to your inner self.

BELIEVE: Believe in your self and everything that you do and you will accomplish great things. When I was a young girl my father took me fishing. I remember standing on the dock fishing and I had lost my bait to catch a fish. Being a girl I did not want to touch the worms to bait the pole. Dad was busy fishing down away and he did not want to come over and bait my fishing line. I ask him but he said he was busy so I yelled at him that I would catch the fish without the bait and without his help. So I prayed and believed that I would catch a fish without any bait. Immediately I caught a fish. The hook somehow hooked the fish and I reeled it in. I yelled to my father, dad I caught a fish. To his amazement there I was holding the fish. Years latter another lake experience happen where the boat we were on caught fire on the engine where the gas was. As the flames flared up we jumped over board. Right at this time a small fishing boat came up and saved us. We were way out in the middle of the lake and not many people were on the lake that day. I believed we would be saved. Not to long ago I lobbied for a 57,000 sq. ft. new animal shelter for our city. I prayed and believed. It was hard though because the opposition was a lot stronger to build a much smaller animal shelter. I believed, though it was a year of ups and downs it came to pass. And it manifested 57,000 voters to vote yes for the 57,000 sq. ft. animal shelter. Believe in miracles!!!!!

ACCEPTANCE: Learn to accept everyone for whom they are. This is a hard lesson. We often want people to act or be the way we want them. We often say why am I dealing with this person. Why can’t they change and be the way I want them. We are sometimes placed with people that we don’t always agree with. I find this to be true all the time. I see the most loving people often times with the selfish people. I know that there is a reason for this. As long as you give love the people that are the selfish takers of the world will overtime be affected. It does no one any good to get angry with the selfish people. We must love them for whom they are. We are all on a journey of life. As long as we accept people for whom they are and expect nothing more we wont get hurt in life. Our expectations wont hurt us.

HEALING: Work on physical and emotional healing. Balance is the key. I once knew a yoga teacher from India. He was a young guy and taught advance yoga classes. He was also into eating healthy. I thought this guy was very healthy except when I would talk with him I would sense a lonely person. Emotionally I think he was very lonely. He died this past year at an early age of 40. Maybe his heart was broken. Healing is a beautiful thing make sure you are healed throughout your self.

FEAR: This is a feeling that can make us sick. Fear is the opposite of Faith. You choose which one you live by I have always chosen faith. I believe in God and that he will take care of me. I fear nothing. I choose not to watch TV for the most part because it is negative and fear based. The news especially. Most of what you fear and worry about never comes true. It is wasted energy and does not allow healthy healing. Many doctors now put fear into their prognosis. The news is fear based. We are surrounded by fear. Choose to be around positive people. When someone brings up a fear base conversation walk away. Before you know it we will all be positive and let go of the fear base negative energy that tries to bring us down. Don’t let fear control your life, be positive.

KNOWLEDGE: Keep learning new thoughts and ideas. Your mind needs to be stimulated and thinking new idea. The more you learn the smarter you are and you will make better judgments on what you do. Plus you will learn what is truth and what is not.

STRESS: This can really make you sick. You can be physically healthy but if you have stress it will make you sick. When you hold bitter thoughts, create stresses in your life, and hold anger you can not be well. Learn to let go of the things that bother you. Elimanate stressful things and thoughts that enter your life. Most of what you worry about never happens. When I was on my fasting vacation on the first day my mother called and said my rent house had been sit on fire. What made this worst was that I had only $15,000 insurance and over half the house had burned. The insurance estimated $55,000 in damages. Now this is enough to make anyone sick. I decided then that there was nothing that I could do to change the situation and that I would just have to deal with it. I relaxed at the retreat and ending up doing my water fast and not worrying about the burned house. The burned house has been a challenge and at one point I thought I was going to have to tear it down. But things are looking better and it has turned into a learning experience. How to build a house for $15,000. Maybe I will make and sell a video about this experience. Though not pleasant it will work out. There is always something good that happens with the bad. Look for the good in every situation.

LETTING GO: To stay healthy emotionally there are times in your life that you need to let go of attachments to relationships. Breaking up is hard to do but if you stay in the same situation you keep getting the same results. If we stay in unhealthy relationships we learn nothing. We close the opportunity to meet and love other people. There are millions of people in the world wanting to give a lot of love. Making excuses to stay with a person only hurts yourself and those in the relationship. If you’re not happy end the relationship and move on. It shows that you are stable and secure with yourself to move on. It is much better for the family as a whole. What kids want to grow up in a house with two miserable parents. It only makes for a dysfunctional family.
