Forgiveness and Completions

Hello!

A couple of things for you today . . . .

First, yesterday, a dear friend sent me a fascinating article by Joe Vitale.
It's about the power of love and forgiveness, applied in a radically
unexpected way. I just did a little research and learned that
Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len is a real person. I've heard my husband,
who is part Hawaiian, mention an ancient forgiveness process called
ho'oponopono for years.

The ho'oponopono approach parallels self-forgiveness processes
I've learned and practiced for over 20 years. I frequently teach
clients to use self-forgiveness, with powerful results, and I write
about how to do it and some of these results in my e-book,
The Power of Personal Peace: Reducing Stress by Loving Yourself
from the Inside Out. I couldn't resist sharing this intriguing article
with you!

I invite you to join me in exploring this technique. You just might find
it powerful as a means of increasing your inner peace, and reducing
stress and other ills in your life. For the rest of the article, go to
Forgiveness and Love: The Great Healers on my website.

Second, I've been musing on how Spirit provides exactly the feedback
I need in my life! I make a habit of listening to an uplifting tape or
CD most nights as I fall asleep. I have so many of them, I just grab
a handful from my library, stack them by my bed and pop a fresh
one into the player each evening more or less at random. For the last
three nights, three different tapes have reminded me of the importance
of "completions."

Since completions -- finishing up the unfinished business, multitudes
of projects, ideas, books, promises, etc. -- are an important part of
creating both success and stress reduction, I thought I'd share briefly.

Lately, I've had more creative ideas than there is enough of me
to implement them! I'm working on two large teleseminar projects,
plus wanting to get more of my original articles out. I got enthusiastic
twice in the last few months about promoting my public speaking,
which I also thoroughly enjoy. But each time, I needed to put the
brakes on to handle other projects with deadlines.

These last few nights, I've become aware that I simply need to let
the idea of promoting myself as a speaker (involving a somewhat
different niche, national travel, etc.) wait a while. I need to complete
some of these other projects first. I can't spread my energy too thin
or I'll get stressed and I won't be making progress on any of my goals!

So, inside of me, I declared the new public speaking direction finished.
I can pick it up later if I want to. I can accept speaking engagements;
I just won't be doing a planned promotional project at present. I feel
a subtle relief! Yesterday I spent several hours clearing away lots of
little nagging incompletes (filing, phone calls, emails, follow up stuff)
and today was able to focus solidly on one of my teleseminar projects,
making great progress!

If you are spreading yourself too thin, consider where you most
need to do your own completions. What is "hanging out" in your life
and pulling on your energy, perhaps keeping your from moving
forward in important areas?

Remember that you have choices. You can actually finish or handle
these tasks, or you can "declare them done," and put them away.
You can say, "No, I'm not doing that after all." Or, "I've read to page
53 in this book. I'm done with it." And close the book and put it away.
It's a decision. It's yours to make if you wish.

Hope you're enjoying a wonderful week filled with summer delights!

Joy and Peace,
Dr. Ilenya
