Spirit

Many years ago, I read a book called "Zero Limits" by Ihaleakala Hew Len and Joe Vitale, which introduced me to Ho'oponopono.

Since then, I have found great peace by repeating the simple mantra introduced in the book, "I love you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you."

The History of Ho'oponopono.

No one will ever take care of you, as well as you can take care of yourself!

On our way to becoming wise crones, we spent most of our lives looking after families & friends and building careers. We need to learn to care for ourselves and become more self-focused. 

That doesn't mean you stop doing all the things that are important to you or caring for others. But, instead, it means that if you don't look after your own needs, you won't have the strength and energy to live your best life!

I found mindfulness meditation by accident.

In one of those odd kismets of fate, I was given a book by the title "Wherever You Go, There You Are" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. My friend gave it to me as a joke (he thought the title was funny).

He didn't know that I was dealing with extreme anxiety and struggling with everyday life at the time. This gift started me on a path of healing and self-care.

Getting through my days and acting "normal" was challenging. It was hard to get out of bed. I couldn't fo…
