THE PROBLEM WITH PROBLEMS

"Whatever you need to bring to your experience will be drawn by an apparent lack."

Hi Patrice,

Just as spring was finally arriving in the Rockies, I slipped on a small patch of ice and broke my left arm. My broken arm showed up at a time when I was also really concerned about deteriorating eyesight. Trying to understand the spiritual energies at work, I agonized, "What am I not doing right?" Stuck in emotional and mental struggle and worry, I contacted one of my spiritual mentors, Kristin Van Tilburg, for support.

Kristin helped me see that when we need something to be different, we believe there is a problem. Any focus on a problem automatically takes us into a negative mind state that also produces a negative or contracted emotional and physical state.

She reminded me that THE ENERGY OF WANTING A CHALLENGE TO DISAPPEAR HOLDS IT IN PLACE.

When we're focused on wanting something to be different (a future orientation), we are not open to appreciate all that we already are and have now.

We hold the power to experience wholeness no matter what symptoms might be present. Complete acceptance provides the energetic foundation for all healing.
