The Same Story Twice
I heard a person once say, "If you wear shoes, the whole
world is covered with leather." It spoke of our separation from the earth; we rarely
touch the ground. The world might as well be covered with leather because when we
have on shoes, we lose that contact.
I heard another person tell a story about making life simpler.
"You don't have to cover the world with leather, if you wear shoes." He was saying
we can just take care of our life and our world and that is enough. We don't
have to fix the whole world.
The moral of my tale of two stories is that truth can be
used in many ways. Just a little food for thought.
Finger Holding to Relieve Stress
When I was in Rio years ago I attended on workshop that featured finger holding to relieve stress. Try it out.
Holding the Fingers - Jan Henderson Phd
The acronym for remembering the attitudes associated with each finger is "Get rid of Worry FAST." W is for Worry (thumb), F for Fear (index), A for Anger (middle), S for Sadness (ring), and T for Trying To (little).
For each attitude, there is a "quickie" hold and a longer sequence. The
"quickie" hold involves holding one finger with the fingers of the
other hand. For example, to hold the left thumb, wrap all four fingers
of your right hand around your left thumb. The longer sequence is a
combination of fingers that you hold one after the other. For example,
the longer sequence for Worry is to hold the thumb, then hold the middle
finger, then hold the little finger.
How long should you hold a
finger? If you have plenty of time, hold each finger until you feel a
pulse arrive in the finger. If a finger is already pulsing strongly when
you first touch it, hold the finger until the pulse calms down. Another
way to hold the fingers is simply to hold each finger for two or more
breaths. You will find this very meditative and relaxing. Holding
individual fingers and the finger mudras before falling asleep is an
excellent practice.
The ten fingers are said to regulate 14,400
functions within the body. The different ways of holding the fingers
influence the body on a variety of levels, but they are all effective.
Choose a style that feels most comfortable and satisfying to you.
Worry: The "quickie" is to hold the thumb. The sequence is thumb, middle, little finger.
Additional benefits: for depression, hate, obsession, anxiety,
self-protection, to revitalize physical fatigue, for the back of the
head, breathing, and digestive discomforts.
Fear: The "quickie" is to hold the index finger. The sequence is thumb, index, little finger.
Additional benefits: for timidity, mental confusion, depression,
perfectionism, criticism, frustration, digestive issues, elimination,
wrist, elbow, and upper arm discomforts.
Anger: The "quickie" is to hold the middle finger. The sequence is little, ring, middle finger.
Additional benefits: for feeling cowardly, irritable, indecisive,
unstable, not alert, overly emotional, general fatigue, eye issues,
forehead discomforts.
Sadness/Grief: The "quickie" is to hold the ring finger. The sequence is thumb, index, middle, ring finger.
Additional benefits: for negative feelings, common sense, excess mucus, breathing, ear discomforts.
Trying To/Pretense (cover-up): The "quickie" is to hold the little finger. The sequence is little, ring finger.
Additional benefits: for "crying on the inside and laughing on the
outside," feeling insecure, nervous, confused, issues of "why am I
here," calms nerves, aids bloating.

Our Nervous System is Programmed to See Bits of Reality
"Our
initial sensory experience and how it is interpreted for us structures a
nervous system that ultimately has only one function: keep reinforcing what was
imposed to us in the first place.
So what you see out there is what you were taught to
see, basically. If you were told that it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist
for you. The nervous system develops as a response to sensory stimuli that
creates a certain perception of the world and that perception structures a
belief system. Then, the nervous system has one function - to keep reinforcing
the belief system.'
'It's not seeing is believing, it's the other way
round: if you don't believe it, you can't see it, taste it, touch it, hear it,
smell it. Your nervous system has been programmed to take in only a small bit
of reality. With bits of perception we cannot see the whole.
Consciousness conceives, constructs, governs and
becomes the physical body."

A pattern is repetitive unconscious behavior. Our patterns lock us in and make us choiceless clones of our parents and other authority figures from our youth.Time to reverse our patterns so we can have easier relationships.

Two nuns, Sister Catherine and Sister Helen, are
traveling through Europe in their car. They get to Transylvania and are stopped
at a traffic light. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a tiny little Dracula jumps onto
the hood of the car and hisses through the windshield.
"Quick, quick!" shouts Sister Catherine. "What shall we
do?"
"Turn the windshield wipers on. That will get rid of the
abomination," says Sister Helen.
Sister Catherine switches them on, knocking Dracula about, but he clings on and
continues hissing at the nuns.
"What shall I do now?" she shouts.
"Switch on the windshield washer. I filled it up with Holy Water at the
Vatican ," says Sister Helen.
Sister Catherine turns on the windshield washer. Dracula screams as the water
burns his skin, but he clings on and continues hissing at the nuns.
"Now what?" shouts Sister Catherine.
"Show him your cross," says Sister Helen.
"Now you're talking," says Sister
Catherine.
She opens the window and shouts, "Get off the car, you crazy weird son of a
bloodsucker!"
