2.3 The Patients Ah-ha Moments - What I have Learned

Julie - 75 Year Grandmother - Moving past the "comfort zone"

It's clear to me now, that all that I do is really for me, this is a huge switch from thinking I have to take care of others...its okay to speak out to make myself heard even if that means fighting to Love.

I really understand that Love is always worth fighting for. I see now in my marriage that I have not trusted my husband. I have without knowing conditioning my husband to believe that I was unreachable, that is how protected myself, I distanced myself rather than risk getting hurt /rejected.

I know that its time to move, its time to reach out and I am scared of failing, I am scared of giving up as I have done many times with the excuse that he does't hear me (physically) and he is too preoccupied to listen.

I will now stretch beyond my past conditioning and behavior and use faith to go beyond what my mind would tell me. God Bless me I need help and trust here to do and go where I have not ventured before. Thank you Dr. Martin for today, I am so Grateful, In Loving and Light

I learned that I am doing a "box step" around the leap of faith, probably because my life has not been so bad that there is no place to go but up. I have become accustomed to suffering and am afraid of being vulnerable. What there is to do is to be open – take a leap of faith – be vulnerable – experience more love. My mission is to become a love seeker as opposed to a pain avoider.

I learned how fear based my life has been, how confined and restricted I have been. One ray of light here is that as I write this, it feel good that I am not being judgmental, I am just seeing it for what it is.

It feels like I have been shaken to the core (I was actually physically shaking as I left the office shaking inside and outside) and I still have some of that right now hours later. It was devastating to me to realize that even my meditation practice was unconnected / disconnected from God. I feel lost and right at the beginning....a beginning I trust....to start from ground zero. I learned that what I lack most is faith, and that faith is action that makes me believe something beyond what my mind would tell me. I also learned, that if I can be happy....and express happiness...it will permeate everything that I do and those that I encounter.

Thank you for staying with me and not pulling any punches doc.
