‘Healthy Relationships’ is The Keystone to peace within and peace without.
By Mark Elliott
In ancient architecture it was found that one stone (the keystone) could hold an entire archway weighing tones. This idea can also be applied to a range of philosophies or guiding principles for life.
The DVD “The Secret” outlined some of these specific to relationships and, more importantly, gives us the scientific knowledge that “Everything is energy”. Another important concept to integrate is an understanding about our “connectedness” to the rest of the world and everyone in it. When one fully understands these concepts then one simple tool is all that is required in order to deal with ALL our relationships – including the challenging ones!
There are three simple steps to this that will bring about dramatic positive change in our relationships and our lives.
1. Know that everything is energy – those of you familiar with Dr. Emoto’s work have seen the evidence.
2. Know that everything is connected – those of you who have had a phone call from someone you were thinking about only moments ago might better understand this. But for those who don’t get it, the extract of a doctor’s experience below might help...
**...Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len worked at Hawaii State Hospital for four years. The ward where they kept the criminally insane was dangerous and he never saw patients. Psychologists quit on a monthly basis. The staff called in sick a lot or simply quit. People would walk through that ward with their backs against the wall, afraid of being attacked by patients. It was not a pleasant place to live, work, or visit. Dr. Len agreed to have an office and to review their files. While he looked at those files, he would work on himself. As he worked on himself, patients began to heal.
**"'After a few months, patients that had to be shackled were being allowed to walk freely,' he told me. 'Others who had to be heavily medicated were getting off their medications. And those who had no chance of ever being released were being freed.' I was in awe. 'Not only that,' he went on, 'but the staff began to enjoy coming to work.
Absenteeism and turnover disappeared. We ended up with more staff than we needed because patients were being released, and all the staff was showing up to work. Today, that ward is closed.’...
Hopefully, by now you would like to know what he did and I am going to tell you – that’s right! No seminar or workshop costing $1000s, no DVD or CD to buy BUT there is a catch – you then are responsible FULLY for what goes on in your life and more! It’s best explained further by Dr.Len....
**..."'I was simply healing the part of me that created them,' he said. I didn't understand. Dr. Len explained that total responsibility for your life means that everything in your life- simply because it is in your life--is your responsibility. In a literal sense the entire world is your creation...
Though it seems far easier to blame the rest of the world the truth is, what you see out there exists on some level within you and if you drop the judgement and blame stuff and use the tool I am about to share with you, you are in for a wonderful life changing experience with far reaching effect. What’s that you say? “But I am not responsible for everything that goes on in my world! “ To you I say, - well it’s your world so if you’re not responsible then who is? And besides, if you are not ready to face the truth and take responsibility then stop reading right here...
For the rest of you here is step 3...
Repeat to yourself as many times as you can in the course of a day these 3 statements:
I’m sorry.
Forgive me.
I love you.
Try it on, put it to the test. Think about those people in your life you have the biggest challenges with (yes, it is a bit confronting at first). See, first, how it feels within you (the short term results) and then, as you continue to practice, see how, without even any verbal contact with others, it changes your relationship with others and the world as you know it.
**..."Turns out that loving yourself is the greatest way to improve yourself, and as you improve yourself, you improve your world”...
**..."Suffice it to say that whenever you want to improve anything in your life, there's only one place to look: inside you. When you look, do it with love."...
**All you have to do is notice any problem you are experiencing physically, mentally, emotionally, whatever. Once you notice, your responsibility is to immediately begin to clean, to say, "I'm sorry. Forgive me. I love you" And feel the difference...then witness it.
