Into my heart’s treasury
I slipped a coin
That time cannot take
Nor a thief purloin, –
Oh, better than the minting
Of a gold-crowned king
Is the safe-kept memory
Of a lovely thing.

Do you think of all of your memories as “lovely things?”  Each of your memories came with a lesson. Are you able to accept all of your lessons whether good or bad, with gratitude?

Often your lessons are presented to you by individuals who come into your life.  Can you say that you appreciate each individual for the lesson that they have presented to you?

What would happen if you spent time looking for the lessons?  Would you be able to shift your thinking to gratitude for each lesson presented? Would gratitude help you to let go of any bitterness, anger or upset that you may have felt?

Not everything that happens to us feels pleasant in the moment.  Just as the symbolic heart’s treasury is full of pleasant moments, the body can also be a storage location for your upsetting emotional experiences.  Over time, the unpleasant emotions stored in the body become problem areas for pain and disease.

All disease is an indication of “dis-ease” or unresolved issues that are stored in your body. If you think of your body as having many pathways for the movement of healing energy then you might want to consider disease to be like a road block.  Until you get movement at the blockage point, your body’s natural flow of energy remains blocked leading ultimately to major “dis-ease” in the body.

Now let’s look at a way to avoid creating blockages in the body.  The Universe presents you with many challenges that are really just opportunities for growth.  In order to take advantage of these opportunities, you can begin to look at what triggered your negative emotional response; what your true feelings are about what happened; what memories the event brings up; and what you need to let go of to put you back in the flow.

If you can step back when you have been triggered into upset and contemplate what the lesson might be in all that is happening, you may then be able to see the lesson being presented.  Once you recognize the lesson then you can replace any negative emotions with feelings of gratitude for the lesson received.

Feelings of gratitude can help turn an initially upsetting event into a lovely memory of a lesson learned.  This would eliminate creating blockages in the body that ultimately destroy your health.

Often the first sign of “dis-ease” is stress and tension in the body.  If you are experiencing this, you may need assistance in recognizing and releasing issues. An intuitive energy healing session can help you.  In an environment of unconditional love, you feel comfortable enough to look at issues that you may have avoided dealing with for many years.

May you have many lovely memories blessed by gratitude for lessons learned, so that the energy in your body is freely flowing with perfect health.
