When the world is in chaos the individual has the power to stabilize, to hold steady and endure, no matter what transpires. One individual has the power to stabilize one life, and one life stabilized has the power to stabilize a second life, and so on. In this manner stability may turn chaos into order. Do not give up, but take control. Use your own energy, your own power, to stabilize your world, and in so doing effect the world around you. Each one of you is a force to be reckoned with. Use your power for the greater good.
Stay upon your new path by reminding yourself how old habits make your feel, how they inhibit, deter, and interfere with your physical, mental, and spiritual growth. Remind yourself often that you are doing things differently now. Have compassion for yourself. In the most positive of terms guide yourself forward, changing your attitude about yourself and your circumstances in every thought you think, in every word you speak, and in every action you take. You are doing life differently now. What could be more positive than that!
Learn from your mistakes so that your future lessons may be fresh and new, so that the old lessons may be completed and done with, so that the lessons of each day may teach you new things about yourself and pull you along into new avenues of success, so that all that you are has a chance to come forth and blossom. Even in the dead of winter the seed in the ground is working hard to change itself into the flower that is in its future. Do the same. Work hard each day to change into the beautiful flower that is in your future too.
Your path of heart may not always be clear. Your mind may get in the way of decision making and your connection to heart centered direction may blur. Learn to turn off the busy mind so that the quiet heart may speak. In quiet solitude find the peace within that will open a new gateway to communication on a new and deeper level. For when the mind gets busy with fear and worry the soft-spoken heart is hard to hear. When the mind dominates with its know-how and superiority, the rest of the self may cave to its commands, but there is so much else within the entirety of self that knows so much more than the mind can imagine. Learn to turn down the mind and tune up the knowing of the heart. In this manner change direction and find your path of heart once again.

The body is formed and functions according to a hardwired set of autonomous rules that don’t involve consciousness. At the subconscious level of the mind these rules are activated and employed to support the daily activities of life with little conscious awareness or input.
The belief that our genetics will basically control our physical destiny is an assumption that underlies modern attitudes toward the body. This is supported by the fact that the genetic makeup of an individual is in fact preprogrammed and if left to its own devices will predictably evolve along the lines of its innate algorithms.
Consciousness has the power to break ranks with these powerfully controlling inner laws. At a simple level, a body predisposed to diabetes may have some control over the manifestation of that disease through the exercise of certain food choices. This same principle applies to many potential diseases that may not activate due to preventative behavioral choices.
At a higher more subtle mental level is the influence of belief on physical conditions. This is dramatically demonstrated with the placebo effect, where mental belief alone might cure or cause a disease. Thus, ascertaining one’s core beliefs, assessing the power of their influence, and considering suspending those beliefs in the service of manifesting a new possibility is a good practice to deepen one’s influence upon the body.
At an even more subtle dimension of the mind is the fact that thought is an energetic entity. Thoughts, in fact, have the possibility to randomly fly out of the head and enter the headspace of another person. The power of directed thought to manifest an action on the physical plane is demonstrated by the healing intent being transferred in a Reiki or Therapeutic Touch session.
At an even deeper subtle mental dimension is the fact that while in human form, that is, alive in a human body, the body serves the evolution of consciousness. Thus, if our growth requires changes in our body to support our spiritual growth, our consciousness might be able to rewrite or take charge of the rules that typically govern our physical functioning.
This level of potential change requires that we are in full acceptance of our body as is, that we can truly say we love it. If we are at war with our body we will have difficulty transcending its limitations, as the energy of change is the energy of love. Our process of change at this stage will require much attention to deep, loving acceptance of what is. The potential of what might be can only be built upon this loving foundation.
With the exercise of free will in choices, in suspending limiting beliefs, in sending positive healing thoughts and love to the body, in evolving overall consciousness, anything is possible. At least until proven otherwise!
