I, to...Patricia,<BR/>Thank you for sharing this with us. I, too, am at a spot in my growth where I have come to realize that although I thought I had finally dealt with my incest issues, my wounded child doesn't agree. I have just recently come to realize that the silence factor is an area that I too must deal with. At this point, my prayers are for this guidance. I was just getting ready to do spend some time meditating, and was looking for an affirmation for incest survivors, when I found your blog. I have one of Louise Hay's books, "You Can Heal Your Life." However, there was no listing in the index for incest, and so I decided to do a google search for it, which brought me here.<BR/><BR/>Again, thank you.<BR/><BR/>All of our questions are already answered. We need only open our eyes to all of creation. Within and without are one.Divine Essencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14750391937191361816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-72386895957834482712007-12-14T10:43:00.000-06:002007-12-14T10:43:00.000-06:00Funspirit, I love your name.

Surprisingly to me, it was more difficult that I thought it would be to write about the childhood incest. I am not a newcomer to recovery. I have been working on releasing and healing my issues since 1989. I still have some issues that need healing is what I discovered when I started writing in my blog.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-12030001539372435902007-12-14T09:02:00.000-06:002007-12-14T09:02:00.000-06:00I can't imagine how hard it is to write so publica...I can't imagine how hard it is to write so publically about your past. I love Louise Hay, and I've done exactly what you've described about picking a page too. It does work well.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it will help, but I know a great site about inventing your "second childhood". It's at www.kimandjason.com/ Mostly their site is about letting go of our "serious" adult side and having more fun. But if you go type in "second adulthood" in the search box and read that article. I hope it might help you give you inner child permission to play and have fun. :0)<BR/>With love,<BR/>Shirleyfunspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992894057101305742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-28365576177052811042007-09-16T01:24:00.000-05:002007-09-16T01:24:00.000-05:00This article has been accepted in the Meditation, ...This article has been accepted in the Meditation, Yoga & Spiritual Growth Carnival - Edition #7 found at http://anmolmehta.com/blog/2007/09/15/meditation-yoga-spiritual-growth-carnival-edition-7/ .

I was doing my usual late night thing tonight of checking out some of my favorite blogs and some new ones that I haven't read before. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw that Karl Staib had included this article in his "Top 5 Greatest Links of the Week 8/18/07". Check out Karl's blog called "Mind and Body Health" at http://karlstaib.com/ You will be glad that you did.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-55676768411135475812007-08-17T11:39:00.000-05:002007-08-17T11:39:00.000-05:00Deb, Thanks for sharing the poem, Don't Quit.

Your children thank you for the courage that you had to walk away from an abusive marriage. I used to pray that my mom would find that courage. My parents were finally divorced when I was in my 30's and I cried for the ending of my fairy tale dream that said one day my parents would become the kind of parents that would make a "perfect, happy ever after home for themselves and their children." Deb, thanks for sharing. If more people would have the courage that you do, the abuse cycle would truly stop.Patricia Singletonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114250171020836470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-61879073098655145042007-08-17T07:35:00.000-05:002007-08-17T07:35:00.000-05:00Dearest PatriciaYour words are so very inspiration...Dearest Patricia<BR/><BR/>Your words are so very inspirational.<BR/><BR/>The bravery and courage it takes to blog yourself<BR/>wide open to the world amazes me.<BR/><BR/>Having lived with 2 alcoholic parents and also a verbally abusive marriage that lasted 16 years, I can relate to what you have written.<BR/><BR/>To step out and share such as you have will empower others who have lived with abuse.<BR/>They will know that there is healing. <BR/><BR/>I removed myself and primarily my children from the marriage so that the 'hurt would stop'.<BR/>My children were young enough, 12 and 10 at the time of the divorce 13 years ago that I am certain the cycle has stopped.<BR/><BR/>My parents are many years in recovery, and my ex husband went on to seek counseling and help for his problem.<BR/><BR/>The little girl that was me reaches out to dance a ~ happy dance ~ with the little girl that was you, then as adult women we <BR/>continue that dance......<BR/>knowing NOW that<BR/>~*~ we always were so VERY special ~*~<BR/><BR/>God Bless You Patricia for reaching out to extend healing to others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7679672539901170150.post-24576345155977187042007-08-16T22:53:00.000-05:002007-08-16T22:53:00.000-05:00Geoff, thank you for sharing your thoughts.
