Thanks, Patrice, for your response. I don’t know what this “stuck-ness” is about for me . . . wanting to do things the “right” way is a big part of it. Feeling a bit lost in this process also. Thanks for your suggestion to start a Community Forum topic on “Heart of the Soul”. As I write this there are indications of a FP coming up, afraid of rejection – again, not doing it right or nobody wanting to join in. I know that all I can do is step into this and see where it takes me. Much gratitude – Diane |

Hello Leo – Thanks for sharing your experience with your own daughter and her depression. Again, it is so very helpful to realize that I am not alone. I have just finished watching, again, Gary’s short talk on “What is the next step after I feel my emotions?”. Taking this step by step . . . working to keep this process uppermost in my consciousness. Will order “Heart of the Soul” today and begin to read & work the exercises, as was suggested to me a week ago. With much gratitude – Diane |

Thank-you David and Sundar for your responses these past several days. MOST significantly, it is good to be reminded that I am not alone in wanting to approach this relationship with my son as a Spiritual Partnership. To begin by feeling the physical sensations in my body and recognize that if they are painful, a FP of my personality is presenting. I think that I need to just stay with feeling and feeling and feeling . . . . I grew up afraid and made many significant decisions in my life based on fear. Time to move forward and speak from LOVE!!! Really easy to do when I make this Conscious Choice to Communicate from LOVE because I do love this son Unconditionally – hands down!! the real challenge is to love Myself unconditionally – wow!!! Thanks again for being there for me – Diane |

I have been experiencing sadness and let-down from the holiday weekend, spending time with my son who continues to struggle with his depression. I feel so powerless to help him and fearful of saying too much or the wrong thing and pushing him further away from me. Because I am not connected with anyone on a regular basis to practice these principles, it took me until the last hour (it’s now 5:15pm and I have felt this way since early this morning) to remember that a FP is working here. I feel constriction in my chest and tightness in my belly. I have been fighting a sore throat since Thanksgiving night (when I spent the night at my son’s place) – I RARELY get sick – but realized instantly that there was something I wanted/needed to say, or not say. I recognized that I was feeling afraid but forgot to relate it to these principles, while I was still with my son and could have talked to him from this perspective. This FP believes that if I say too much or the wrong thing, that I will push him away and I will be more alone than I already am. I welcome feedback on this topic. Thanks so much – Diane |

Hi Cindy – Just read your story as I was searching to see who had been on the Community forum most recently. This is quite astounding, actually, even if the squirrel is somewhat “domesticated” by all of the guests in the area, it chose YOU to share your lunch with!!! AND . . . it IS still a wild animal! I think you responded in a much more loving place than I might have, as I would be thinking, “Ewwww . . . .squirrel . . . . rabies . . . .get away from my French fries!!!” Have you had any more experiences with the wild side of life since then? Wishing you well – Diane |

Hello Cindy & Regina . . . .and others from Saturday’s call & discussion. I felt so grateful for the opportunity to process emotions related to recent world events, with others in this loving environment. It was a wonderful reminder of the value in recognizing and feeling emotions, including those that originate form FP’s . . . .and remembering that I can then choose to respond from that loving part of my soul. AND, to know that this is enough and is powerful each time I choose to respond with love. – Diane |

I guess so – I felt frustrated and fearful that I had done something wrong. |

Victoria and all – I thought this method cumbersome the first time I participated a couple of weeks ago. Over the course of the hour, I grew to appreciate the technology – that so many of us could be communicating in this way – listening to each other silently, sharing at our own pace, able to look back at each other’s comments and just be present on our respective journeys. |

Hi Regina – You know this is all still pretty new stuff to me. I watched the video this morning – and then have been out & about all day. I want to get back to the book and start re-reading chapters on these topics before we connect on our chats. But it’s just really helpful to hear from all of you,and be reminded of the ideas of where trust can take us – with laughter and acceptance and allowing “what is” as it serves the growth of our Soul. |

Thanks for that reminder, Regina. I keep trying to “figure things out”, challenging situations, instead of TRUSTING that it’s all perfect and there for me to learn from a place of love. |
