This Too Is Good...

A friend sent me an uplifting message today taken from the Joyful Springer:

"We live in a physical world, and it’s easy to get so caught up in it that we forget that it is just a tiny fraction of reality.  True reality, the reality that encompasses everything, is an unseen one, an intelligence that connects all things.

Joyful Springers are alert to the mystical.  When life feels overwhelming or difficult, they remind themselves that under the physical circumstances is spiritual meaning that can lead them through the tough times to better ones.
Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it isn’t real.  The power that created worlds flows through you and around you.  When you’re aware of it, you will find far more joy and beauty in your life."

I try to always honor the spirit of the individuals I work with despite the emphasis on the physical symptoms. With true reciprocity these days, my patients have honored my spirit with kind words of support. At times in my life when I have felt burdened by difficulty, I have uttered the following affirmation:

This too is good, this too is God, and I demand to see the blessing in it...

Whatever any of us may be struggling with in our lives, I hope we can find comfort in a belief that we are always guided to right thought and action if we quiet the chatter in our own mind and listen.
