Dear Friends,
Our September Theme is:
ATTENTION:
We have two places available for our ISM Retreat in October! First come, first served. Please write to me.
One of my most detrimental habits is what is classified in the Male Book as the first habit for a life-time, arising from having an Over-Dominant Mother. When I feel insecure and/or out-feathered in some way, I try to prove my worth by delivering something "impressive". This drains energy big time; I cannot say it better than in the book: "The man who lacks confidence has no real belief in himself. Although this lack of belief in self will not stop such men from excelling in the workplace, it is always sad to see how they put all the value on what they have to offer." This energy-draining while trying to "prove" myself was one of the main reasons for my health crisis in the beginning of the year.
Yet, I thought that, as Russians like to say, "troubles never walk alone" :), and there have been multiple blows to knock me down back then. But although this is in a sense true; and - of course - I had a plenty of time to analyse the situation during the recovery process, I was curious if just the push to finish the article I was trying to finish by the end of December could have sufficed to bring me down. In August I made a kind of controlled experiment on this account and now I am convinced that the answer is yes!
So, my intention is to turn this new certain knowledge into power and curb the habit!
Please enjoy Lady Elizabeth's vibrant message of hope!
With all my love,

My Dear Friends,
Happy Month! Happy September!
And in my favourite part of the world at this time of the year, happy Spring! I love Spring and on the first day of September when I was in primary school, we would plait our long hair with flowers, wear our prettiest dresses, arm ourselves with fresh fruit and vegetables and head off to school with a spring in our steps and a feeling good factor about providing food for those fellow children in need.
The next day we would return to school in our winter uniforms! Lol!
Here in the Northern Hemisphere today folk are mourning the end of summer! Hard for me to believe as summer here this year, what with my recent mobility challenges and all, seems to have slipped right by me. However, hope Springs eternal! Lol! The temperatures are back in the 30s this week! Yay!
And I have a Spring in my step today as a special healer friend sent me this message from afar: -
“It is very like your nervous system is rejuvenating.
There is a deep light coming through, and I am clearing the debris that remains after the change taking place”
Special feedback. Sounds like the end of winter, beginning of Spring, right? 😀
The great thing about my having been physically limited is that I have managed to initiate a jump start on our September theme of “The need to save personal power”.
One of my favourite definitions is in our Retreat flyer each Retreat.
"What do we mean by “personal power”?
The only power there is is the product of perception, and only you can bring about that perception. Only you can change that perception, and only you can enhance or diminish that perception, purify it or taint it, clarify it or distort it. In other words, you already hold within your hands all the power you need in order to bring about within your life anything and everything you wish for.The only thing you need to do is to claim the power that is already yours. Once you have taken ownership of what you already have, more and more power is generated of its own accord.”
I have had time these past two months to observe more closely my re-actions and my behaviours. And I began to observe a covid lock down mentality and approach unfolding. One of our main markets for our coMra® healing devices is the United States of America and I can only surmise that all the perceived turmoil over there is impacting on our business these past two months.
Why covid? Because I stalked myself beginning to doomscroll! Yes, I need to stay on top of current affairs. We deal mainly in US Dollars after all. But “the doom algorithm” got me and very quickly I was getting hooked into one perception.
Back to basics I have returned:-
THE LIFE OF A WARRIOR IS A STRATEGY IN SELF-DISCIPLINE. EVERY ACTION, THOUGHT AND FEELING HAS TO BE CAREFULLY ASSESSED AS TO ITS VALUE. WARRIORS CANNOT WASTE THEIR TIME AND PERSONAL POWER ON ISSUES WHICH ARE OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO THEIR DESTINY.
Enjoy our theme this month, my friends!
Limit, better still, eliminate the temptation to scroll aimlessly. Addictive it is! Plus it saps our hard earned personal power.
With all my love,
(BH)s
