Day 8: HEALING
Poet
and activist, Maya Angelou turned a traumatic childhood experience into a
catalyst for creativity and achievement.
She used this experience as a reason to bring peace to the world.
We
all have had such experiences, sometimes holding on to the experience for a
very long time. A mantra is a wonderful
way to resolve conflict we hold in our mind and one of the best times to repeat
the mantra is while falling asleep at night.
Tuck yourself in, close your eyes, and start repeating your mantra. Between the last waking moment and the first
sleeping moment, there is an opening into deepest consciousness. You can send your mantra in through that
opening, repeating itself in your sleep, healing old wounds and restoring your
peace of mind.
Today: I will reflect on an incident in my life to find
the "gift" it has brought me.
I will write down two ways I can use this memory to become a more
creative and peaceful person.
Consciously, I share this gift with others.
