Setting a boundary to focus on our own life by not carrying others, allows us to regenerate our aura, and may help others to step up to the plate for themselves. That’s a choice they have to make or not as they choose. Out of love for them and for ourselves, we can explain that it disempowers both of us if we carry the burdens they are capable of for themselves. We can believe in them and that they can do it for themselves if they will. Badgering others to do their part is just another way of taking responsibility for them and losing power. After setting clear boundaries and expectations, when another still won’t do their part, we may choose to do it for ourselves as a free and conscious choice, without blame. Or, we can choose not to.

Now, you may argue that point by you change the way you look at things, the things you look at saying that you “have to” go to work or you “have to” pay taxes, change.” You could just as easily say, “Change your thoughts... etc. The truth is, you “want to” to do those things because you change your world”. choose to avoid the situations that would result if you didn’t.

24 www.BodyMindSpiritGuide.com MAY 2019 Self-Love is More Than a Cup of Tea By Faith Brower
These days we see commercials on TV, read on magazine covers, and hear ads on the radio about the necessity of taking care of ourselves first. These messages suggest that if we don’t take the time to nurture and care for our self, we will quickly become depleted and rundown, having less to give to others.
The suggestions of what to do for ourselves sound lovely, like the following from FC Wellness Company Ltd. in 2014:
• Take a long, hot bath, add some essential oils • Have a cup of herbal tea while doing nothing else • Listen to or read uplifting literature • Ask for what you need • Practice deep breathing • Exercise • Surround yourself with positive people
But these suggestions are short-term solutions for a much BIGGER NEED. They are like putting pressure on a bleeding wound. Once we take the pressure off, the wound gushes blood once again.
Everyone’s BIG NEED is to feel loved, and wanting to have an impact on the world. To truly stop the bleeding, to get this BIG NEED met, is an inside job. Understanding who we really are, i.e. what feelings we have, dealing with them, learning to accept them, and moving on, is the road to self-love. Once we know and embrace how we like “being” in this world, we can relax more. Relaxing more can lead to acknowledging and accepting our feelings about things, people, and messages from our past. Soon self-love is waiting to happen!
I am suggesting self-love grows from the inside out. It does not occur outside of ourselves. And when we love ourselves, others are naturally affected. Our thoughts, words, and actions will mirror the love inside of us. As Bob Marley said, “Love the life you live. Live the life you love.” Faith Brower

The Four Insights: Wisdom, Power, and Grace of the Earthkeepers
The Four Insights are the wis- dom teachings that have been protected by secret societies of Earthkeepers, the medicine men and women of the Americas. The Insights state that all creation—humans, whales, and even stars—is made from light manifest through the power of intention. The Earthkeepers mastered the Insights, and used them to heal disease, eliminate emotional suffering, and even grow new bodies that age and heal differently.
* From: The Four Insights: Wisdom, Power, and Grace of the Earthkeepers by Alberto Villoldo, PhD
And what is Grace and How Does It Influence Your Life?
“Grace is a divine force that makes itself known through the consequence of its presence in your life . . . Grace is not just an emergency substance, a kind of divine Rescue Remedy . . . Grace highlights qualities in you, enhances your strengths, heightens your inner senses, and sometimes gives you a craving for silence so you can listen deeply . . .
Grace emerges out of your own inner work and the healing of dark passions. It comes through prayer and through discov- ering that you thrive more on truth than on fear. Grace comes to you as you learn to rely on it." ~ Defying Gravity by Carolyn Myss
Grace is where the healing begins. To experience Grace fully and directly you must 1) feel, 2) look inward, 3) listen and 4) observe the consequences of your actions
