Be In Harmony

Everything we do in life is experienced by our entire being -- that means mind, body, and spirit. What you know, you know on all three levels. What you desire, you must desire on all three levels. When you are trying to accomplish a task, all three levels of your being must be in harmony.

It is not enough to think about the good things you want; you must also feel good about what you want. It is not enough to try to forget unpleasant experiences; you must also work to change how you feel about them. In order to eliminate negative thoughts and feelings, you must shift what you think. When you shift what you think, you change how you feel and what you believe. This shift is called learning. When there is harmony among all levels of your inner being, then you have learned the lesson of the experience. Once you have learned a lesson, your behavior will change.

If you are working to eliminate negative thoughts and feelings, think before you act. Stop yourself from walking down the path of reaction. Examine your beliefs about yourself and your experiences. Be willing to release those things that are in conflict with your goal to release negative thoughts and feelings. Only when you participate on all three levels of your being can you break habitual responses that repeatedly produce unwanted experiences.

Until today, you may have tried to clear your mind and heal your heart in two separate steps. Just for today, treat your mind and heart as partners.
