"Two Simple Phrases for Transformation"

From Marilyn Gordon’s “Hypnotherapy Newsletter”(Feb. '05):

There are two simple, primal phrases that you learned before you could even walk that can take you out of negative thinking and into a transformed state of mind. They are: "Thank you" and "I love you." "How obvious!" you might be thinking. But there's more to the story. There are times to use these phrases that would ordinarily be very difficult. Here are some of those times:

* When someone has hurt you or you think of past hurts, use those phrases. "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to transform myself."

* When you're criticizing yourself, you can say to yourself, "I love you. Thank you for doing all you're doing."

* When you want to complain about something or someone has something that you don't have or when you feel a great shortage: "Thank you for all I have and all I am. I'm truly grateful that I have all that I have. I love you."

* When you've had a rough day, and it's hard to fall asleep, say it over and over, and float into a profound rest.

* When someone has abandoned or neglected you, you can say, "Thank you for never being there for me; now I know that what I've really needed is myself."

Think it's easy? Try it for a day. Beyond the two phrases is an even more potent one: I AM LOVE. That's the essence and the truth.

With love and blessings,
