There is a small little mental exercise that I will often use with my clients when they are having a hard time accepting who others are, how others act and react, or what Lifestyle choices others make that are different than their own. I use to use this same technique on my patients in my former holistic clinic when the they were having a hard time accepting others. Even the most self-proclaimed 'spiritual person' can have a hard time accepting others for where they are on their Spiritual Progression Path™. Not on our path, but accepting where others are on their own path, which is different than our own. Either we are living the 'Spiritual Life' or we are not, which can change from one day to the next. That is our nature. If we could stay completely in a spiritual state, then why would we be here? Why would we not just turn to Light and leave the planet because our work would be complete. Either we believe that we are a spiritual being in a human body, creating the totality of what a 'human being' is or we don't believe it. Like it or not, we are in physical 'human' form, and there is no getting around that fact no matter how spiritual we are today, tomorrow or some time down the road. I believe we as 'human beings' (spirit being in human body) are all walking, tripping, stumbling and slobbering all over ourselves just trying to figure it all out and we are doing it together. No wonder it can all easily turn to chaos if someone is not on the same page (path) as us. Sometimes we are doing the best we can and sometimes we aren't even cognizant enough to do that! Most of us are not leading a Life of contemplation, meditation and reflection 24/7. Who could do that? One minute we are in a profound moment in time, and the next minute we are angry because someone rattled our cage. We are a fiesty bunch, who often times can be very unforgiving of another person's mis-step. In the type of work that I do now, I use this technique over the phone quite often. Back in the day, my patient would lay on their back on the treatment table with their eyes closed and I would sit at the head of the table on a stool and talk them through the mental exercise below without touching them. I did not touch the patient through this exercise because I did not want to stimulate the patient's neurology during the exercise. Even having the Lights on was sensory, so the Lights were off. I wanted the patient to just be in their own head without any other sensory input other than what was necessary, which was the treatment table and my voice. As you read through this mental exercise, assume it is all about you. It is not about anyone else, but you. As you sit and slowly read this page . . . ponder the things that I ask . . . ponder them slowly as you scroll down the page. DO NOT scroll ahead or you will ruin it for yourself. Scroll slowly and spend a couple of minutes with each question . . . . as slow as you possibly can before moving on to the next question . . . answer the question in your mind. Focus on the question, visualize what is being asked before moving on to the next question. Answer the question. You might answer the question in your head with one sentence or you might answer the question in your head in the form of a paragraph. DO NOT speed through this process. The slower you move along question by question, the more you will receive out this exercise.
