| REPEAT ASPIRATION EVERY DAY FOR 7 DAYS WEEK 1 ASPIRATION: Today, I will remember I am transformed and will act like accordingly. SUPPORTS ~DAY 1~ Any transition serious enough to alter your definition of self will require not just small adjustments in your way of living and thinking but a full-on metamorphosis. ~ Martha Beck ~DAY 2~ How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world. ~Anne Frank ~DAY 3~ You change your life by changing your heart. ~Unknown ~DAY 4~ In order for us to change the world, then, we must start with ourselves. ~Pema Chodron ~DAY 5~ Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant. ~Anthony J. D'Angelo ~DAY 6~ Our only security is our ability to change. ~John Lilly ~DAY 7~ REST AND REVIEW Now, without judgment review your week. This week there were times when I could truly feel that a change for the better and a willingness to help others has developed inside of me. Now breathe in the wholeness of this feeling. Then breathe out the wish: May everyone experience the freedom of being part of the change in this world. Now, look at your short-falls. This week there were times I found myself falling into old patterns of feeling useless. Breathe in pain of feeling you have no purpose in life and breathe out the wish: May all those who feel worthless return to the truth that the world needs them to be here. Feel free to use your own words in this practice. |

CHANGE COMMENTARY: One never completely gets over being a Wounded Soul, but there will come a
time in your healing process when you start to realize that you are seeing things differently, the pain from
your past seems like a distant memory; you’ll find that you have put your emotional baggage in the closet
and that now you seem to be unpacking it less and less. You start to realize that you aren’t buffeted
around as much by emotions; you’ve put your boundaries in place, and now you are cultivating healthy
relationships. Suddenly you feel you have experienced a metamorphosis, and know you have actually
changed. Finally you are moving forward into your Authentic Self. The Self you were created to be.
This is the time in your life, even though you are taking care of your own needs, your heart turns towards
humanity and you heed the call of Mahatma Gandhi, “You must be the change you want to see in the
world.” You recognize that you actually have much to offer and the reason you are here is to be REAL
YOU.
Youre healed self is the change the world needs. Your art, experience, you hospitality, your compassion,
and so on, are all things you desire to share. You’ve come to recognize that just like everyone else you all
called to be part of the healing of this world. You are now a part of the ripple effect of healing that I’ve
written about many times before. And now you find it radiating out from your heart. (The video below will
give you a better picture of what I am trying to convey.)
Books that will help you become stronger in being the real you are: Living, Loving, and Learning, by Leo
Buscaglia, Return to Love, by Marianne Williamson, and Awakening Compassion and The Noble Heart by
Pema Chodron.
Now that you have come to this place in your life, my admonition us to be true to your heart’s path. You
don’t have to be a Holy Man or Medicine Woman, because in many ways you already are---because one of
the reasons we are here is to help heal the world, and of course you are part of that process. All you have
to do is be the best you that you can be, offering whatever skills you have to the healing of humanity.
Since there are no formulas to you, because we are all so individual, I will just say if you are still on this
planet it is because there is a need to be filled and it is up to you to fill it.

| REPEAT ASPIRATION EVERY DAY FOR 7 DAYS WEEK 2 ASPIRATION: Today, I aspire to find ways that I can be of benefit to humanity. SUPPORTS ~DAY 1~ There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love. ~Mother Teresa ~DAY 2~ Instead of counting your days, make your days count. ~Author Unknown ~DAY 3~ Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world. ~Howard Zinn ~DAY 4~ If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. ~Mother Teresa ~DAY 5~ Only God can make a tree, but I'm in charge of seeds and weeds! ~Author Unknown ~DAY 6~ We are the ones we've been waiting for.

This week there were times when I could truly see the ripple effect of my impact on this world. Now breathe in how wonderful it felt to know that you can be a positive influence on others. Then breathe out the wish: May everyone be the best they can be and become the change they want to see in the world. Now, look at your short-falls. This week there were times when I felt that what I did made little or no impact on others. Now, breathe in the pain of feeling what you do doesn’t make a difference and breathe out the wish: May all those who feel they don’t make a difference in the world see the truth of their importance in the world. Feel free to use your own words in this practice. |
