    HEALING AFTER THE LOSS OF A PET

    "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened" -Anatole France Our pets are family and gifts of unconditional love. We believe we choose our pets; however, they choose us to show us the way of unconditional love that is unchanging and stable. A bond is established with our beloved companions that is comforting, loyal and faithful; and our lives become richer and fuller. They can be the best therapy when you feel unloved or unlovable by showing us that love is our natural state of being. The loss of a pet can be devastating, and healing is essential for our wellbeing. For almost 20 years, my beloved cocker spaniel, Spencer, was by my side through many life challenges and transitional events. Possessing an affinity for Asian music, he had a quiet gentle spirit. He would look at me with those piercing brown eyes as though he could hear my thoughts and feel my feelings. One night while in a deep sleep I saw him running in heaven at high speed and barking like a young vibrant pup. It was surreal! I knew in my heart that his time was coming to an end. I would often sit on the bench adjacent to my Meditation Garden with him right beside me. He chose to pass away in our meditation garden during Easter time.  Even though our pets may no longer be with us physically, they are always with us in spirit. We can embrace healing by allowing time to grieve, following the path of unconditonal love, appreciating memorable moments, and establishing daily rituals and new routines.  Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action practice is to journal on how your beloved pet showed you unconditional love. What did your pet teach you about being present in your daily life? Carry the gifts and lessons forward in your daily life for healing and wellbeing. Notice how this makes a difference in your life. Share your insights and experiences and insights.

    THE POWER OF TRUE FORGIVENESS

    How can we forgive? What does it look like? What does it feel like? We all have experienced hurt and pain. It may be difficult to forgive. Forgiveness is a spiritual practice and conscious choice to let go of the burdens of anger and resentment toward yourself and  those who have harmed you. Forgiveness is beyond just the verbal expression, "I Forgive You". It is a wholehearted feeling of resolve. Freedom is inherent in the power of true forgiveness. Oftentimes, when we think we are finished, we find ourselves dredging up old stories, swinging back and forth, and ruminating over past wrongs. Spiraling out of control with a surge of negative emotions, it becomes apparent that we are not done with it. Obsession with the past inhibits creating a better life. Whether it is holding on to past grudges, feelings of betrayal and anger, it is time to lay the burden down. Learn from the past and become resilient.  True forgiveness is a genuine opportunity to reclaim our personal power. Break with the old and create from a renewed spirit and loving heart. The act of forgiveness is reclaiming our personal power. Find rest, peace and joy with true forgiveness that can be attained with deliberate conscious action, a compassionate heart, reflecting love and spiritual evolution. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to reflect on experiences when you betrayed yourself. Do you replay these experiences over and over condemning yourself with regret? The more you repeat these occurences the more stuck you become. Take time to forgive yourself and intervene with positive thoughts and feelings about yourself. Next, reflect on an experience when you were betrayed by a family member, friend or coworker.  What did you learn about yourself?  Perhaps the need for acceptance or approval and to fit in  reinforced this connection.  Were there behaviors in yourself or others that you overlooked? Did you fail to pay attention to your gut feelings? Are you stuck in anger and remorse? Free yourself and open space for positive connections and a healthy relationship with yourself.

    LIVING WELL AND AGING GRACEFULLY

    "Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship" -Buddha It is nothing more beautiful to look into the eyes of an elder who has aged gracefully. How can we live with a higher quality of life? How can we age gracefully? How can we live life more fully? As we age, we can come home to our true self that reflects inner peace, inner beauty and love. The heart of love is content and at peace. In this day of time, many people are struggling to defy nature for outer beauty and anti-aging products at all costs even to the extent of bodily disfigurement with a desire to be accepted, feel worthy, loved; and to be regarded as having timeless beauty even though it is superficial and unnatural. This is particularly true in Western society. During my time spent in the East especially during festivals and celebrations, the elders were honored and revered. Upon entering homes with the presence of elders, you paid respect with humble gestures. I had the opportunity to visit homes during many cultural celebrations including Hari Raya, Mooncake Festival, Chinese New Year, Deepavli (Festival of Lights) and the Indian Firewalk Festival. On many ocassions sitting and talking with elders reflecting on the history of the land and memories from the past, witnessing of progress over time were memorable experiences. Dr. Jean Marie highlights the wisdom that radiating from her beloved grandmother with echoes of he voice that remain in her heart. Aging gracefully is living well, nurturing your inner self. Wellbeing and self-care is an art of living. There is an interconnectedness of mind, body and spirit and it's essential to nurture each aspect of ourselves with love and compassion. The most important relationship with ourselves. Dr. Jean Marie highlights the importance of nurturing and caring for ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually.

    HOW TO BRING HEALING AND HARMONY TO OUR RELATIONSHIPS

    Unity is a state of being together in harmony and experiencing a feeling of oneness. It is essential for healing our relationships, and is critical for wholesome interactions. Unity brings strength, creates space for healing, and helps us feel a sense of wholeness. Relationships and communities have become fractured through false beliefs, alternate states of reality, and illusions that tragically separate us from our true nature - the spiritual self. This disconnection from ourselves and others leads to isolation, loneliness, and alienation. Unity is our natural state of being that exists at the core, and brings stability and peace. As Rumi quotes, "In real existence, there is only unity. In things, spiritual, there is no partition, no number no individuals". In our current state of affairs, we have witnessed much discord with a desire for healing and harmony. However, it is difficult to look beyond our differences, see others as a reflection of ourselves, and treat people the way we would like to be treated. This point of reflection can be used as a yardstick to check our behavior. We are part of the whole, and our overall wellbeing is essential to our collective survival in the world. In order to flourish, unity and healing is paramount to our human existence. Unity and healing can be achieved by accepting people for who they are, seeking common ground, managing our behavior, and letting love be the healer. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to accept people for who they are. Practice being compassionate, open-minded and non-judgmental. Meet people where they are in daily encounters and interactions. Reframe from unsolicited advice or trying to convince people to see things your way. Listen, hear and respond thoughtfully. Journal of your experience. Share your insights and experiences.

    HOW OUTWARD JOURNEYS ENRICH OUR INNER BEING

    "The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet" -Lao Tzu How can we become more mindful on our life's journey? How can we appreciate our experiences and encounters? How can we enrich our lives with each step along the way? Our path leads us in many directions for personal growth and self-discovery, with beginnings and endings, twists and turns, and opportunities to fulfill our wildest dreams. Milestone makers for action steps taken toward our destiny can bestow deeper insight and wisdom. Whether it's a monumental endeavor or a daily experience as a traveler through life, there is always a chance to get to know ourselves in different ways. Each step is a collection of memorable moments, perceived as pleasant or unpleasant that can transform your life. Ultimately, it is how we contemplate and process our experiences.  As we allow our path to gently unfold, it is essential to listen to our heart for guidance along the way. Oftentimes we do not not take time to process the meaning of our experiences and encounters that are taken for granted. The helping hand, words of wisdom, acts of loving-kindness brighten your day, and the goodness extended to others are profound life-changing moments. The subtleties of life are magnificent moments. Awakening in the morning to the sunrise of a new day and retiring in the evening watching the colorful sunset makes us mindful that the next moment is not promised and to live life to the fullest. Dr. Jean Marie shares highlights of her life-changing transformational journeys to Malaysia, Turkey, Egypt and the Himalayas. The beauty of majestic lands, experiencing and integrating in the cultures, sharing delicious cuisines, melody of languages, songs, dance and profound spiritual experiences that enriched her life.  Despite language barriers, she found that love is the universal language. She captured her transformational journey to Penang, Malaysia by daily journaling that resulted in publishing her first book, The Long Journey Home. Her book proposal was one of 36 global award-winners of the 4th Annual Transformational Authors Experience (TAE) Writing Contest. Outward journeys enrich our inner being by deepening our relationship with ourselves, embracing connections with others, appreciating harmony in nature and recognizing true kinship. Dr. Jean Marie highlights each. Our Love In Action Practice is to be mindful of your daily encounters. Whether in the community on an extended journey, be present with your experiences. What do you see? What do you hear? What do you smell? How do you feel? Be emotionally available in daily interactions and encounters and act in accord with your higher self. Journal on memorable moments. Feel free to share insights and experiences.
