How do you feel about receiving?

26/1/2016

Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it. -Rabindranath Tagore - HealingforGrievingHearts.com

In my last post I told you about my pending surgery and my fear of loosing control.

In the end I just feel very humbled by the care and support I received.

Yes, I had to give up control but at the same time I received the care and expertise of doctors and nurses that knew what to do when I felt nauseated by the medications or overwhelmed by getting out of bed for the first time. (smile)

Friends and family were there for me with their healing thoughts and wonderful food. (smile)

I am still recovering and I am taking one day at a time. I focus on what is most important at each moment like relationships with friends, family and clients, and the love I feel for life itself.

I will take care of myself by balancing my activities, take even more time in nature, and by incorporating the advices I give my clients: (smile)

reach out for help
receive support
take nurturing breaks
meditate
be creative

How do you feel when you open up to receive?
Please share your thoughts with me. I will answer each email.

I will be happy to make time for you. (smile)

Blessings,
Jacqueline

What do you do if you feel like losing control?

11/1/2016

I hope your New Year has started well.

Mine is already coming to a big halt tomorrow. (smile)

I will have a minor surgery (so the doctors and nurses assure me) and will then be at home for at least three weeks recuperating.

While everything was rolling along quite nicely I realized that an unease has taken over my soul.

This is the first time in my life that I am the one in the hospital bed. I have always been on the other side. Helping others with good humour, supportive silence, advocating for their well-being if necessary, holding their hand, or giving them therapeutic touch.

This time it will be me receiving. I realize that it is much easier for me to give.

The biggest fear comes from giving up control, trusting in the medical staff and their judgment.

I feel humbled to have worked with so many people over the years that trusted me and my knowledge when they needed help.

Sure they didn't have to give up control but they said yes to a process they didn't know where exactly it would lead them and where open to be guided through various creative steps.

I will honour them by not giving into my fear. Instead taking my own advice, breathe deeply and accept all the healing thoughts that people have been sending me.

Do you have a story to tell where you had the feeling you are losing control?
What did you do to overcome your fear?
Would you like to share your strategies?

It would be great to hear what helped you to overcome fear.

From my heart to yours,
Jacqueline

PS: I will be back end of January. (smile)

Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year!

I am wishing you a happy and healthy New Year.

I am wishing you...
that you will find the answers to your questions,
the support that you need in difficult moments,
the time for your self-care,
the courage to reach out to others when you need help or a laugh,
and lots of time in nature to breathe, walk, be, and hug a tree.

My blessings to you and yours,
Jacqueline
