Unfinished: A Personal Journey of Healing, Self-Discovery and Resilience

A couple of nights ago, the moon was full - gorgeous! But I must say that the “Super Moon,” from last month, was simply dazzling and mesmerizing from my vintage point. Of course, with its closer proximity to earth, the potential for coastal flooding rose substantially.

When the moon is full, we as humans also feel the effect in various ways. I know when I was working the night shift as a police officer, it was a given that we would be in for a crazy, busy night, not to mention the chaos in hospital delivery rooms!

I find it so intriguing how the gravitational pull from the moon effects water – both on land and in our bodies and it reminded me of the book, “Messages From Water” by Dr. Masaru Emoto. Have you heard of him? He has conducted extensive research of water and his findings have shown that water is far from lifeless but rather is fully in tune with our thoughts, attitudes and emotions. So what does that mean for us?

I believe that when we are aware of our thoughts, we can create, even change, the outcome. Positive thoughts such as; love, thank you, gratefulness, peace, truth and so on causes the water in our bodies to react in sync with that energy. On the other hand, negative thoughts create disarray and separateness not only from our true self but also towards every life form that surrounds us.

For just over a year now, I have incorporated meditation into my daily regime. I found a need to take time out from all my busyness and just “be.” We are living in a chaotic world and I believe that now more than ever, we need to collectively band together to promote kindness, love – all the adjectives that I listed earlier. Living in fear and retaliation, as some of our leaders appear to incite, only creates more hatred, more dissension and more confusion.

I am thankful for people like Ellen Degeneres and many others like her that promote and practice random acts of kindness. This is powerful, creating a ripple effect just like when a stone is tossed into a lake; the ripples only get bigger as they move away from the source. Imagine the difference it could make to our world if we all truly treated others the way we wish to be treated and made it our every day intent to “be kind to each other.”
