“Wierdo” DIY Therapies that Work – Part II – Mirror Work

Mirror Work/Mirror Play

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them me all? Why me of course. This might seem silly but it just might work.
While you look in the mirror make positive affirmations and love yourself.

“Robert Holden, Ph.D., best-selling author of several books, Director of the Happiness Project and Success Intelligence and a business coach for several industries, has worked closely with Louise Hay in mirror work. He’s sharing several mirror-work exercises in his free video series to help you learn the gifts that come from loving yourself.”

Love Ability (Life Loves You)
Mirror principle – the World is Your Universe

We are all related to the universe.
Self-Image – lens of perception you see the world through
Perception is a mirror not a fact; perception is projection; see world as we are.

“We can experience a new world and a new life” Robert Holden, Ph.D.

Video 3 – Feel Good About Yourself and Your Day

Longest time no results with mirror work because he didn’t do it.
When he did it, he got very good results and now he uses it in workshops.
Holden wrote “Life loves You”.

Mirror principle states your life is a mirror. The mirror is everywhere. It is all around you. The relationship to now is to you. Be present to now to create a whole other future relation to our true selves. Start mirror work today and first hour of the morning is best.

First exercise is about setting intention for the day. Go to the mirror and greet the day. “I say yes to the day. I am willing to make today the happiest day of my life.” Be willing to avoid daily blur and daily unconscious.

Affirmations:
Setting the Intention for the Day.

“I am blessed. I follow my joy. I prosper at every turn. All is well. “ Life is for me.

Wisdom Meditation:

Inner Wisdom
“What would you have me know today?” Be confident in your inner wisdom. “Everything I know today is revealed in the perfect time space continuum. “Where would you have me go today?” “What would you have we say today and to whom?”

Profound Inner Wisdom from the Late Great Leonard Nimoy

Spock Thoughts

Basic Trust

Gratitude

“What are you grateful for today?” Louise Hays has the sign above her mirror.

Do one or all exercises (Setting the Intention for the Day, Inner Wisdom and Gratitude) once a day for 7 days.

A Holy Shift – Holy Moves in the Right Direction – A Review of “A Holy Shift: 365 Meditations by a Course in Miracles” by Robert Holden, Ph.D.

A Holy Shift – Holy Moves in the Right Direction – A Review of “A Holy Shift: 365 Meditations by a Course in Miracles” by Robert Holden, Ph.D. (published by Hay House)
A Course in Miracles says that you are as God created you which is a loving heart, and open mind and an ability to transcend anything. A Holy Shift meditations or daily monthly readings are based on a Course in Miracles. The author provides daily inspiration, hope and joy. I believe that he (the author) summarizes the best of the best of all the materials from A Course in Miracles. Additionally, because of the short, simple yet profound excerpts, this book is immediately accessible to all. With the world seemingly going to “hell in a hand basket,” something like this reminds me that this is not necessarily so. The book reminds one to love yourself and others and says, “Be kind to it and yourself, and then be kind to Me. I ask but this; that you be comforted and live no more in terror and in pain. Do not abandon Love. Remember this; whatever you think about yourself, whatever you may think about the world, your father needs you and will call to you until you come to Him in peace at last,” Song of Prayer. IV 10:2-7. Another example of a profound aphorism is “Wisdom is not judgment; it is the relinquishment of judgment,” Manual for Teachers. 10. 4:5. All this amazing wisdom and it is just taken from a page in May. A breath taking quote from June is “Your reality is only spirit. Therefore you are in a state of grace forever,” Text-1. III. 5:45-6. Then what follows is a beautiful, inspirational prayer that I shall end with.

Our Father, bless our eyes today. We are Your messengers, and we would look upon the glorious reflection of Your Love which shines in everything. We live and move in You alone. We are not separate from Your eternal life.
There is no death, for death is not Your Will.
And we abide where You have placed us, in the life we share with You and with all living things, to be like You and part of You forever.
We accept Your Thoughts as ours, and our will is one with yours eternally.
Amen.
This prayer almost brings me to tears. Get this book. I know you’ll like it. I sure do! God Bless you all!
