the abundance of life

 i did not know
there is a special "word" for what i was doing before - during - and after - pregnancy ....

Communicating with the unborn child

First written for Junior Pregnancy and Baby Magazine, this is a description of an extraordinary French pregnancy treatment called haptonomy that helps parents communicate with their unborn children. I know that sounds a little unlikely, but don't dismiss it out of hand. In France it is a well established, mainstream pregnancy treatment. It is pretty significant: If we really can communicate with babies in the womb, then that changes the way we view pregnancy. The clipping is a little hard to read, so I've transcribed it below.

please read on...the article

you are loved

God or spirit stands beside us in every aspect of our everyday lives.
If you can begin to see how your notion of spirit has been shaped by your early childhood,
you can start to look at love as a mirror of the present instead of the past.

This is a key concept:
When you fall in love, you fall for a mirror of your own most present needs.

The intense desirability of another person isn’t innate in that person.
Desire is born in the one who desires.

If your underlying self-image is that of a helpless, unloved child, any show of power arouses incredible yearning in you.

There is nothing wrong with this –
we all project similar needs in our search for love.
Nor is there anything wrong with a bedazzled state of infatuation.
Each affair, real or imaginary, has a repeated message to offer:
“You are loved.” It is the simplest of messages, but often the hardest to absorb.
For spirit isn’t saying,
“You are loved as long as your passion for this person lasts.”
It is saying, “You are loved,” without any qualifications.

There is infinite patience in spirit,
infinite willingness to wait upon our attention.
And one day, in your own time, you will notice.

Each person that you have loved is a tiny reminder of who you are.
This isn’t solipsistic but a natural reflection of your needs.
You aren’t judged by the love life you choose,
since no one is outside yourself to judge –
there is only you as the Self, looking at you from a different angle.

The Self looking at you
is the primary relationship you bring into all situations.
Realizing that, you will start to reduce expectations for other relationships.

Your healing will be to fall in love with that Self.



Adapted from The Path to Love, by Deepak Chopra (Three Rivers Press, 1997)

neutral?!!

change is not to try to convince others to change, but to be neutral to ourselves.


We all know from experience that we can’t change other people, yet most of us have a tendency to try. This is because we naturally feel the need to do something to change situations that we find troubling. It often doesn’t occur to us that the best way to create change is not to try to convince others to change but to be neutral to ourselves. When we make adjustments from within, we become role models for others, and leading by example is much more inspiring than a lecture or an argument.



was heißt es nun
mir selbst gegenüber neutral zu sein?

ich halte nicht fest an einem bestimmten ergebnis?
ich liebe mich so
wie ich gerade bin
denn in genau diesem moment bin ich eben so
ach
da fällt mir auf
dass ich irgendwie ekelhaft bin
oder überströmend vor freude
dabei ist immer nur der punkt zu betrachte
wie wichtig nehme ich etwas
oder mich selbst
wenn ich mich immer so liebe
wie ich gerade bin
bin ich mir selbst gegenüber neutral
und mein verstand und meine seele können mit einander hand in hand gehen
der verstand verurteilt - oder beurteilt im sanften sinn - die situation nicht
klar will er sie einordnen
in irgendein erlerntes schema
doch
das darf er auch
nur soll er keinen vergleich herstellen mit etwas oder jemand

We sometimes look outside ourselves for what’s wrong with the world, but the outside world is really just a mirror reflecting us back to ourselves. When we encounter negativity—anger, depression, fear—we empower ourselves by looking for its roots inside of ourselves. For example, if you have a friend who is unreliable, observe yourself and notice if there are ways in which you are unreliable. You may be surprised to discover that you have your own struggles with this issue in ways you weren’t able to see. Once you own the issue for yourself, you can begin to work  within yourself.

in dir selbst arbeiten
heißt jetzt aber nciht
mit schaufel oder hammer ans werk zu gehen
schau ich mir  an, - ehrlich -
warum ich das gerade erlebe
und höre den glaubenssatz dahinter
oder änliches

dann
ja dann kann ich
dagegen kämpfen - bringt mir das was?
oder einfach anerkennen, dass es jetzt so ist
damit ist schon eine menge an energie freigestellt
mit der ich mich umhüllen kann
für ein
wenigsten kleines lächeln an mich





This will also enable you to have more compassion for your friend. At the very least, as you strive to become more reliable, you will become more of the person you want to be. In the best-case scenario, you will be an inspiration to others.

ich sehe nämlich nur die dinge als schrecklich
zu denen ich einen übergroßen bezug habe
oder anders gesagt
denen ich eine übergroße wichtigkeit gegeben habe

nun
warum haben diese dinge für mich eine über-große wichtigkeit
kann ich ohne sie nicht leben?
oder vielleicht sogar besser?
ja - das ist schon wieder eine beurteilung

hab ich denn schon einmal ausprobiert
diesem ding
die übergroße wichtigkeit zu nehmen
und zu erleben
wie es dann ist?




You can apply the same method to larger issues. For example, if there is something you see in the larger world that you would like to change—let’s say, greed—try taking responsibility for it in yourself. Instead of being angry with those you see as greedy, seek out the roots of your own greed and come to terms with your power to transmute it. This may be the best way to lead the world toward greater moderation and generosity.


niemand und nichts muss sich ändern
nur die wichtigkeit
die jemand oder etwas zugeordnet wird
ist es
die uns die sogenannten PROBLEME
macht
das heißt also
probleme sind
hausgemacht

wie marmelade ....

und marmelade ist meist süß


versüßen sogenannte probleme mir das leben?
