You are Your Mind

By -
Lately I have heard several speakers talk about your mind as if "it" is not a part of you.  They spoke about IT as being out of control, full of unwanted or unnecessary information, an underused or over attended entity.  As I listened I wondered why they were speaking about your mind as if it wasn't an integral part of who you are, as if it was a separate thing and should be treated like a friend or even worse an enemy.

I wanted to scream... "You are your mind and it is you."  Just as each part of you is you and you are it. You are not a robot that has replaceable parts.  Yes I know medical science has come a long way in being able to replace hips, knees, hearts, kidneys and other vital parts but they become part of you.  In fact one of the issues facing organ recipients is their bodies rejection of the new/foreign organ. Some claim not only better health but along with the new organ came preferences and characteristics of the donor. Candace Pert, internationally recognized pharmacologist, says that talking about the body and the brain is incorrect. Instead she believed we need to talk about our "body brain."

If you are your mind and it is you, why not embrace this part of you and be grateful for the powers and abilities you possess together.  Stop treating your mind as if it isn't you.

As a track coach in Junction City I learned that the precision of passing the baton in a relay race is often the difference between winning or losing the race.

I often rely on my friends to provide insight and support as I travel my race through this earthly journey. When Kelli Spencer asked me to be part of a blogging relay I immediately said “Yes!” For me it was an opportunity to be part of a team and to pass the baton onto others. Kelli is an amazing individual who taps into nature, angels and people to help others restore their natural state of well-being. I met her through a mutual friend, Twyla as we participated in a book club for several years. Today Kelli has her own blog www.lovethelifeyouhave.com ; she is working on a book and enjoying ever minute of her home in the country. I turn to her blog when I find myself asking “What the heck is go

A Rebel with a Cause

Spring conjures thoughts of the legends and lore surrounding the Trickster.   The leprechauns of St. Patrick’s Day, the jokers on April Fools’ Day and the deceptive nature of spring weather are all like the archetypal Trickster.   Each is a reminder of the Wise Fool within.   In stories, the Trickster provides humorous relief to offset dramatic tension.   In life, the Trickster is your teacher, your great balancer.     Like a rebel with a cause, the Trickster uses riddles, puns, puzzles, mischief, wit and cleverness to teach you and help you grow in unexpected ways.   Blessed with curiosity that can lead to trouble, armed with cunning and wit the trickster faces challenges and evolves to a higher level. In life, your greatest lessons often come in unexpected ways such as tempting choices and strife.   It is only after the fact, when you dig deeper, that you “get the joke,” learn the lesson and grow from the experience. Bugs Bunny, the clown, Lear’s fool, the coyote of the
