Comment on 37. Opening Your Heart to Bliss by Carolyn Erickson

Carolyn Erickson — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 01:36:10 +0000

A series of bad relationships has left me extremely protective of my heart and struggling to lose a resentful thought pattern. As I start a new relationship, I find myself not looking forward to seeing him and not wanting to do this sometimes. The tricky part is forgiveness of the past and to view it with love for its lessons even though it still hurts. It’s still pretty raw, and the armor is still there. I think in my new relationship, the reason I am still tepidly trying it is because I want it. In my heart I do know that I had to go through the things that I went through but it still does hurt. Trying this again is very uncomfortable. I know he is not likely to hurt me the way others have so I am letting go of the past and letting this new thing just be what it is.

It is unholy uncomfortable so I am gutting it out. I miss the old me, but I did not get much respect. I have to find a new balance that I like.

Comment on 22. Checking In: Required Post by Dylan

I had an interesting day this past Wednesday, and throughout the last two weeks. My registration expired on my car and I got pulled over for it two weeks ago and got a citation. When I went to get my car inspected so I could renew my registration, the check engine light wouldn’t go off and there were a series of days where I had to drive it around and test out a few things the mechanic needed me to do. I got pulled over again in the first week, but I explained what was happening and they let me go. Then this past Wednesday I got pulled over AGAIN by another cop and she said I needed to get a 10 day driving pass while I figured out my car situation. It was the most frustrating day I’ve had in a while! Due to several different circumstances, I had to drive alllll over town and finally after everything was taken care of, I got my pass (believe me, I wanted to quit and go home, but my intuition told me to go ahead and get the pass). Then today I got pulled over for the fourth time in two weeks (I’ve never had ANYTHING like that happen, not even close!) and luckily I had my permit.

Was I attracting so many instances of getting pulled over in such a short period of time? I mean, what are the chances? It really weirded me out. Luckily, Wednesday presented a good time for me to practice positive thinking even though I was so frustrated, and made me really start to want to work on listening to my intuition more.

Hmmm good question. Something I could otherwise only dream of, I’m sure! “Give birth to” – I like that. I didn’t even make that connection until you mentioned it.

And absolutely! I’d feel honored to be quoted. :) …With the typo correction, of course. Lol!

Carolyn, I think what’s more powerful in what you wrote is that you’re actually seeing that there’s a need to make some changes. Maybe it hurts at first, but eventually the guilt will give way. What I’m curious to know is how people are reacting to you when you set some boundaries. Is it uncomfortable for both/all of you? Can you “gut it out?”

This is incredible!!! Oh wow, I love stories like this. This is a fantastic example of exactly how these principles work in practice.

Can I share your first paragraph on Viva? I just love it!

CONGRATULATIONS! 9 months. Hmmmm…what will you give birth to? ;)

Oh, what would I do if it weren’t for clearing exercises and meditations! Sometimes I have to do these several times a day! I think that’s to make up for all the years of soaking up all the energies around me. ;)

So how is this for a change. Early in the day, I was feeling #8 (boredom) on the emotional scale, and rather than tell this to my friend who asked me who I was, I responded with a more positive response, being thankful for my blessings. I swear, within minutes, I “upgraded” to a #3 slot.

Later on, I called my debit card bank to check the maximum withdrawal I can make in a day (because I wanted to put my huge payment onto my credit card!). Would you not believe… it was the EXACT amount that I wanted/needed to make my payment. I called my credit card and made a payment by phone. Now… I’m officially about 9 months away from paying it ALL OFF! I’m so ecstatic I want to cry (ok maybe I did a little already ;P)! Totally a #1 on the scale, and now everything is making me so stinkin’ happy – stuff that I don’t normally pay attention to. YAY!!!

Now, praying for my classmates and I to feel a #1 on the EGS much more often!! *hugs*
