Physical and Spiritual Responders


Sometimes people can be a physical support system. Whether it be family or friends they are the ones that lend or five money in time of financial need. They offer child care, pick -up and delivery, cooking hot meals during a time of stress or loss. They offer out hospitality in their home whether it be just for a visit or a place to rest during a troubling time.

  The flipside to that coin is the spiritual bridge people. They are in touch with the needs of others in an emotional, spiritual, soul bonding way. They offer out support and believe in prayer and try to get a person to get into a positive mindset or sometimes snap out of a bad decision. Without slipping on any religious jackets they make time in their day and put aside their own need and tap into a higher power to bring a change of good, turn a bad situation around, bring peace where there is chaos and give someone who is drowning a safe dry place to rest and breathe.

Both warriors place a very important role and when the two are combine; good will always triumph over bad. There will be times when just a kind word or a spiritual nudge or hug is all that is needed and you don’t have to be within touching distance to lend a spiritual shoulder.

Swallowing an Elephant

You know that joke/riddle How do you eat an elephant? A-One bite at a time. For most that seems to be the most logical.

I am not so blessed to be able to unhinge my jaw and swallow large objects.    My capacity to learn and adapt to familiar things that need to be dusted off and new ways takes more than a day or two. I know the elephant swallowers are in high demand and get cut higher respect but I feel the nibblers are just as worthy. Patience is a skill that has been slacking both in the people who want to try to make a nibbler into a swallower and those who are observing and comparing; even the nibbler wanting to be perfect...

Breathing

When someone asks me how I am I usually respond with okay which means nothing bad or good is going on. When things aren’t so okay I reply with “I’m barely breathing” which means I’m highly stressed out over something. When I listen to meditation videos they always start out with deep breathing, at first, I thought it was kind of silly to concentrate so much on breathing. I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
