Wednesday Wonder
August 19, 2015

During a recent EFT training we worked with a mature woman from Central America who had a long history of domestic abuse. Because in her culture women very often simply endure abuse this had taken place intermittently over a very long time. Finally, later in life, she claimed her dignity and freedom and left him.

What was so very revealing was the way that the conscious mind blocked events that clearly had a residual impact; they continued to act on her in a thousand ways even when not conscious. Once drawn into consciousness and addressed in an effective way the old pain affiliated with the memories was cleared and she experience a new freedom and lease on life. This all took place in the scope of one hour.

I am continually amazed by the power of our unconscious minds to determine and influence our present day conscious life, the decisions we make, and kinds of relationships we engender. On this score the Biblical tradition with its emphasis on spiritual power and presence within and beneath everything has it exactly right. We are spiritual/emotional/energetic beings, created by God with remarkable untapped power. When we connect to that spiritual power we are set free and can soar. When we repress that - even and especially our emotional selves - those same powers may work against us.

Come Holy Spirit our hearts inflame ...
