So often life stresses infiltrate our thinking, create emotional pollution, and obstructs us from vitality and authentic expression. We believe that healing is about reclaiming our hearts and our lives. It begins with the life force within us to move toward recovery, instead of away from it. It begins with a desire for enlightenment, consciousness, and a sense of completion.We hope that this blog for The Renew Center of Florida can serve as a resource of information and inspiration to you and your family...
JOURNEY TO HEALING THE SELF
As human beings we are always in the process of creating and re-creating ourselves, and there is a marvelous humility involved in this pursuit. On this journey we must encourage simplicity of thought and directness of action in all parts of our lives; a focused and sincere heart; and a desire for wisdom and wellness. On the road to recovery we must question our behaviors, habits, attachments, language, relationships, values, spirituality, energy, knowledge...We must question our relationship to the universe and the thinking patterns that keep us stuck, as well as the ones that propel us towards skillful actions. There is no room for habits that restrict rejuvenation. We must learn the art of balance, and how to sow the seeds of wellness. We must become wise about vital activities that include food and diet, behavior, work and career, our inner world, our spiritual needs and beliefs, our generosity and compassion, our mental discipline, happiness, and sharing, giving, and receiving.We learn to safely let go of negative thoughts, feelings and past traumas with kindness so that we can relate to our bodies and surroundings in a new and loving way, and we learn to look beyond the concept that our bodies or material attachments are our identities. We must understand that we are much more than that, much more than we have ever been told we were. We are storehouses of vitality and infinite potential, born with an infinite amount. Relational and life obstructions may have gotten in the way, but our storehouse of vitality is waiting for us at our core. We can often improve the quality of our vital force with appropriate mental discipline and directness of action, making ourselves and our relationships stronger and more durable. This process of healing often begins with a desire for self-respect and balance in life. A single mindful thought is the first step towards improving and restoring vitality facilitating the flow of happiness and allowing us to become masters of our own personal enlightenment!
What we need are tools, and assistance from those who speak to us in a way that allow us to listen deeply and then integrate and internally communicate with ourselves in new and empowering ways. We hope that you enjoy this blog, and the resources and information it provides. At The Renew Center of Florida we are honored to have worked with so many individuals and seen them recover and heal their lives in ways that even they thought were unimaginable!
Cherish each moment!
