Spiritul Apelor or "Spirit of water"

I saw these beautiful pictures of water and they seemed to illustrate "go with the flow" so lucidly to me. I thought of sharing it with you and if you like it enough maybe you could share it with our friends in the group.

Lots of love and big hug

Ruma's post

Dear friends,

My first time in the loving space blog!!!!!!

Was a great read and some of the messages were I thought, specially meant for me so I must respond.

I am one of those who has done many things, seen results but then sheer forgetfulness combined with laziness makes me totally inactive to what I know I must do.

This last year has been one of complete change with all the stress, anxiety and trauma which some events bring.

The feeling was really that of drowning where the only thought I had was that I needed to survive and draw my next breath.

For some reason, I felt I had to first stabalise myself, find my balance and only then reach out for the healing which I know would be due.

Going from there straight to a state of apparent normalcy has been a numbing situation and I know that now thanks to the blog.

I am forever grateful for all the blessings I find in my life everyday and I am glad for every breath I take which finds me healthy and strong but I will start tapping and reaching out from right now so guys, wish me well.

Lots of love, light and healing,

Ruma

Dear Friends,

I know it has been a very long time and I hope most of you remember me.This is Vandana and I have been in New York now for 3 months.It has been a rocky ride and there are days like today which are gloomy and the rain seems to never stop. Apart from that I realisethat wherever we might be, we are the same, and the same hopes, fearsI always faced are with me here too.

Today , on this low day , I wish beyond belief that I were amongst all of you, at some folow up session or one of the next workshops whichare about to happen.The loving space which has been created by Rohini and nurtured byPankaj, Mala and so many other beautiful souls is very sacred to me.

As Rohini has said many of a time, we all forget to make our selves apriority and I know that I have forgotten how. I am going to betapping for wisdom , strength and the courage to surrender to god thatwhich he chooses for me. Reccently I went to the doctor and it seems I have some strange infection. My love life is also falling apart.

I have a small requestto all of you. can you please tap for me and send me some healing.I would greatly appreciate it.

God Bless you all.

Love and respect

Vandana

Love Letter

Dear friends, my loved ones,

Here is something for each of you to think about. Why does one attend a workshop or learn a new technique? As one does, full of hope and expectancy, one is usually asked what is the intention, what does one hope to gain from it?

The goals are usually quite lofty: peace of mind, improved relationships; growth; balance, happiness and more. Some of us have been to many workshops, learned many tools, reaffirmed our goals many times but have you ever wondered why we are then still searching? Are none of the tools worth it? Were none of them really "meant for me?" Is the perfect workshop and technique still somewhere over the horizon?

Perhaps it is that we have not given any of the tools the respect it deserved, by which I mean the consistent practice it warranted. My own belief is that all tools are magnificent, most have the same goal, which is aligned to those aspirations you have for yourself and to most we do not accord the time it needs to really "shift" energies.

What really happens is something like this: you try it eagerly for a while then if it does not fulfill your expectations you decide it is not really working and you drop it, often just before the rewards were due. It is something like putting a pan of water on the fire. For quite a while it seems like nothing is happening then suddenly it starts to boil, the whole process changes. The results are obvious. But midway you don't put off the fire do you because you cant "see" any visible results? It is so with any therapy we practice. The changes are subtle and they are "happening" but we often give up because we don't observe them in the manner we think we should. Of course you know what I'm getting to...

The question: How much are you tapping? Now EFT is really a lazy persons therapy that is so undemanding of your time or patience. So if you aren't, why not? Do you have doubts? Did it not work? Are you not convinced? Have you forgotten? Well as I said at the workshop there you learn the basics: where are the gears, the accelerator, the brakes. How well you drive depends on how much you use this knowledge to perfect your skills. Well I am proud to say that we offer you a continuous training that doesn't end at the workshop. In fact that is only the beginning. We have regular bi-monthly follow ups at different locations so you can come and "relearn", polish up, study the nuances and also just grow.

Every follow up has a theme and we talk about it as also use EFT to tap away negativities in that area. In the future we will be talking about Compassion, Gratitude; Relationships and whatever else may concern you. So do come. Truly this is an invitation to grow, to share, and to care.

I want to further illustrate this with a beautiful story from one of my favorite authors, Rachel Remen. Here it is:

Often, when he came to visit, my grandfather would bring me a present. These were never the sorts of things that other people brought, dolls and books and stuffed animals. My dolls and stuffed animals have been gone for more than half a century, but many of my grandfather's gifts are with me still. Once he brought me a little paper cup. I looked inside it expecting something special. It was full of dirt. I was not allowed to play with dirt. Disappointed, I told him this. He smiled at me fondly. Turning, he picked up the little teapot from my dolls tea set and took me to the kitchen where he filled it with water. Back in the nursery, he put the tea cup on the windowsill and handed me the teapot. "If you promise to put some water in the cup every day, something may happen," he told me. At the time, I was four years old and my nursery was on the sixth floor of an apartment building in Manhattan. This whole thing made no sense to me at all. I looked at him dubiously. He nodded with encouragement. "Every day, Neshume-le," he told me.

And so I promised. At first, curious to see what would happen, I did not mind doing this. But as the days went by and nothing changed, it got harder and harder to remember to put water in the cup. After a week, I asked my grandfather if it was time to stop yet. Shaking his head no, he said, "Every day, Neshume-le."

The second week was even harder, and I became resentful of my promise to put water in the cup. When my grandfather came again, I tried to give it back to him but he refused to take it, saying simply, "Every day, Neshume-le." By the third week, I began to forget to put water in the cup. Often I would remember only after I had been put to bed and would have to get out of bed and water it in the dark. But I did not miss a single day. And one morning, there were two little green leaves that had not been there the night before.

I was completely astonished. Day by day they got bigger. I could not wait to tell my grandfather, certain that he would be as surprised as I was. But of course he was not. Carefully he explained to me that life is everywhere, hidden in the most ordinary and unlikely places. I was delighted. "And all it needs is water, Grandpa?" I asked him. Gently he touched me on the top of my head. "No, Neshume-le," he said. "All it needs is your faithfulness."

Give it faith, seekers! Make yourself your own first priority and give yourself the nourishment you need to become the huge tree you are meant to be!

With love and hugs as always!

Rohini
