There has been a lot printed about choices and choosing lately in the media, facebook and such, but I wonder if you really know what that actually means. I hear people saying they choose health and then do things that are destructive and even harmful (I know ...just my interesting point of view). I watch people force their bodies to do all sorts of amazing things in the name of Health and Fitness. I laugh at people running down the road with grim looks of endurance and pain on their faces. So called healthy fit people dropping dead with heart attacks or strokes....or funnier still...doctors treating them for high cholesterol (and thats another story for another time). A few years back while trying to complete studies at the Universtiy of Waikato, I got really down. Ass parked in the chair, and just not living how I thought life was meant to be. It was suggested by a dear friend in the Geography dept. that I needed help and so she took me off to student health services for some counciling... The guy I got introduced to was amazingly gentle and open about life. As we spoke about what had been happening in my life... he looked me in the eyes and asked... Greg, when did you decided to die....and why? and suddenly my world collapsed as i had to look back at him and talk honestly about life. He then went on to say that if I died... my children wouldnt have a father, but if I moved away they could then one day choose to have me back in their lives...if they chose. He was the first person to remind me that life and health and everything in between is based on choices. That dying wasnt the only choice. That I could actually change my mind (remind you Access Peeps of anything...yup ten second rule aye...mmm) and so from that point on I started to make different choices and to choose more for Me. There those that walk this planet who have helped many many people realise this same truth...Louise Hay, Deepak Chopra, Dr Wayne Dyer. Each talk about how we choose how to respond to what it is we perceive in our world. Louise Hay is loved and respected the world over. She has worked with a wide range of people in helping them to overcome horrific affliction, bigotry, and prejudice because of health and /or life styles. A book she wrote called “You can Heal your Life” has had a profound effect on me. First it made me very angry…then just plain grumpy and then finally remorseful at my reaction to a deep truth. In her book she identifies thoughts and beliefs of, and about, ourselves that help us create the illness slash dis-ease that brings us to a juncture in our universe. So when I looked up strokes, I got hit in the face with a huge cast iron frying pan. She pointed out that strokes are about…”Giving up”. Resistance and …Ï’d rather die than change.” A rejection of Life! Rather to the point aye. Myself being in denial and angry thought ..”No way! I want to live! Who is this woman and what would she know anyway”. But as time allowed it to slowly seep deeper into the grey cell that rattled inside the cranial bones I call my head I realised how true those words were, and still are today. When a client comes in and asks if I can help a family member who has had a stroke these words come back to me and so I ask the hard question of the family member who has had the stroke. “When did you decide to Die?” and always they look at me and acknowledge the point. At this time I then ask if they still want to die or have they changed their mind. If they take their time sorting out the answer I usually find that even if they say they want to live, they actually “don’t”, and that is ok because that is where they are at, at this point in their lives. And anyway…who am I to judge what is right and what is wrong for them. Have I walked where they have walked? My perspective on life has changed because someone asked me the hard question and had the love and understanding to not judge me for my thoughts, feelings and emotions about life and why I then found it… “too hard to keep on keeping on!” Gratefully I am still here choosing more and Being more because someone pointed out to me that I actually have new and more choices. Dr Wayne Dyer talks about choices etc in his talk, Wishes fulfilled, where he introduces a lady...Anita Moorjani https://youtube/watch?v=Fe7sVtGFleE I have chosen real health now and am asking my body what I can Know, Be, Perceive, and Recieve today that will allow my body to vital and free of restriction.... If you could choose differently for you and your body....what would you choose...? Today...? Tomorrow...?
