  | | Sharing Grief |
by Madisyn Taylor When we experience something that causes us to feel shock and sadness, we may feel the urge to withdraw from life. It may seem like remaining withdrawn will keep us protected from the world, but during these times it is important to reach out to those trusted and precious people who care about us the most. Even with our best information and reasoning, we never know when someone else's experience or perspective can give us additional information that we need. The universe speaks to us through many channels, and when we open ourselves up to receive its messages, we also receive nurturing care from a loving partner in life's journey.
Grief is part of the human experience, and sharing our vulnerability is what creates truly close bonds in our relationships. Opening ourselves up in this way gets to the core of our being, past all of our defenses and prejudices. When life seems to crack the outer shell of our world, we are both raw and fresh at the same time. It is then that we discover who is truly willing to walk with us through life. We also see that some of those sent to us may not be the ones we expected to see. Regardless, we learn to trust in the universe, in others, in our own strength and resilience, and in the wisdom of life itself.
Sharing grief allows us to ease our burden by letting someone else help carry it. This helps us process our own inner thoughts and feelings through the filter of a trusted and beloved someone. We may feel guilty or selfish, as if we are unloading on someone who has their own challenges. Although, if we think about it, we know we would do the same for them, and their protests would seem pointless. Remember that not sharing feelings with others denies them the opportunity to feel. We may be the messenger sent by the universe for their benefit, and it is on this mission that we have been sent. By sharing our hopes and fears, joys and pains with another person, we accept the universe's gifts of wisdom and loving care. |
DailyOM Course Spotlight by Debbie Ford If you are not moving steadily in the direction of what you say you want, you can be certain that you are sabotaging yourself somewhere. As we come to understand the mechanisms and patterns that underlie self-sabotage, we begin to free ourselves...we begin to allow ourselves to interact with ourselves and the world with greater success, joy, and fulfillment. The process of breaking through denial, facing your fear, anger, and other difficult emotions, and making peace with your pain, leads to an ending of the internal war with yourself so that you can step fully into the greatest expression of yourself. Finding the wisdom inside the wounds you've endured is one of the most important conversations you'll ever have with yourself, because on the other side of it is the emotional freedom and depth of joy that you were born to have. This course invites you to honor the lessons from your past experiences so that your future will have a new tone, a new vibration, and a new kind of passion.

 | | All Manner Of Ideas | Cancer Horoscope October 31, 2017 Today, a liberal and open-minded mood can cause you to become curious about beliefs and opinions that are quite different from your own. Even if you usually steer clear of information that will challenge your individual ideology, you will likely feel compelled to investigate controversial ideas that could undermine the ideals you hold dear. By exploring the notions that cause you to think critically about the worldview you have established, you can expand your perspective and learn to accept that there are many diverse ways of accomplishing a single goal. Whether you internalize these concepts today is likely less important than your ability to remain tolerant in the face of opposition.
Liberal and unfamiliar ideas should never frighten us--rather, they should make us sit up and take notice because we can inevitably learn from them. While we may feel a degree of discomfort as we move away from the boundaries of our usual comfort zone, we will soon come to discover that there is so much to discover in a wide open universe. There will be some ideas that strike us as valuable, and we may feel compelled to integrate these into our everyday experiences. Other notions will not meet our needs, and these we will examine thoroughly before putting them aside. However, both sets of ideological concepts provide us with the tools that will help us ensure our continuing growth. If you open yourself to new ways of thinking today, you will never be without the insights you need to attain a new level of enlightenment. |

 | | Regret |
by Madisyn Taylor Holding onto regret is like dragging the weight of the past with us everywhere we go. It drains our energy, leaving less available for life in the present because we are constantly feeding an old issue. This attachment can cause illness the same way watering a dead plant creates decay. We know that something new and beautiful can grow in its place if we only prepare the soil and plant the right seeds. We also know that we create our lives from our thoughts, so dwelling on the past may actually recreate a situation in our lives where we are forced to make the choice again and again. We can choose to move on right now by applying what we have learned to the present and perhaps even sharing with others, transforming the energy into something that is constructive and creative for ourselves and others.
Forgiveness is the soothing balm that can heal regret. In meditation, we can imagine discussing the issue with the self of our past and offering our forgiveness for the choice. In return, we can ask for our selves' forgiveness for keeping them locked in that space of judgment for so long. We may also want to ask forgiveness from anyone else who may have been affected and perhaps offer our forgiveness. By replaying the event in our minds, we can choose a new ending using all that we now know. Imagine that you have actually gone back into the past and made this change, and then say goodbye to it. Release your former self with a hug and bring the forgiveness and love back with you to the present. Since we are usually our harshest critics, it is amazing how powerfully healing it can be to offer ourselves love.
Keeping our minds and our energy fully in the present allows us to fuel our physical and emotional healing and well-being today. This action frees our energy to create the dreams we dream for the future. By taking responsibility and action in the present, we can release our hold on the past. |

| | The Future We See | Cancer Horoscope October 30, 2017 Today, an expansive mood can make the future seem like an unwritten book in which anything is possible. You may feel moved to put aside your mundane concerns so that you can spend more of your time and energy contemplating your long range plans. The hope you hold in your heart will likely prove useful, as you may sense that your capabilities are broader and more strongly established than you previously believed them to be. If, however, this optimistic mood begins to flag today, consider that you may need to change your thought and behavioral patterns as they exists in the present before you will see any sweeping transformations take hold in your life.
The contemplation of future plans can inspire us to dedicate ourselves more fully to our goals, yet we must also act to achieve whatever it is we desire. Change cannot take place in an atmosphere of stagnation, which means we must think about our vision of what is to come in terms of what we can do to make that happen. It is futile to wait for opportunity to knock at our doors when we can ourselves have the power to chase down opportunity. Hope thrives in a proactive atmosphere as there is no power in the universe that can halt our progress. Roadblocks may get in our way, but we are more than willing to reach out toward the future we see in our imagination. You will become more expansive than ever today when you decide that it is high time you create your fate. |
