ASK – A Twelvemonth of Self Love

11. Day 3: Breathe & Always ASK

Eva Lisle — Tue, 03 Feb 2015 14:48:33 +0000

I am continuing my bid to extend love to my fear of success (which feels much like a bear breathing down my neck) through reading a well-known and respected book about success by Jack Canfield (“ The Success Principles“). I have had the privilege of hearing him speak twice at the BNI International Conference. Most recently in November of last year. It is seeing and hearing him that is giving me...

6. Day 7: How Do I Clarify The Signal?

Eva Lisle — Sun, 07 Sep 2014 12:13:26 +0000

If I want to go beyond feeling tiredness I must feel something else. What else is there? Peace. I would love to really feel peace within and through my body as well as in my heart. If the body is a communication device as A Course In Miracles says then what is my body communicating? It feels like it is communicating old thoughts: tired, slow, low energy, slow metabolism, sluggishness. Maybe I don’...

3. Day 27: Guilt, The Greatest Call For Love

Eva Lisle — Fri, 27 Jun 2014 12:01:37 +0000

Me: Holy Spirit, what IS the purpose of guilt? HS: Precious One, The purpose of guilt is threefold: to close your eyes to grace to dampen your spirit to forget the truth Guilt uses all thinking to accomplish this; everything you have ever thought, done, not thought or not done. Guilt is the great God covering, making it appear you are separate from God. You don’t question it because you can see...

3. Day 22: Ask Or Be-little?

Eva Lisle — Sun, 22 Jun 2014 12:08:55 +0000

I notice that still, in certain circumstances, I make myself less-than or highlight my fear qualities (including, perhaps especially with, guilt) in order to make another feel equal or safe. ( Or am I making myself feel safe and equal???) Is this necessary? Is it meeting someone where they are or am I kidding myself? How do I remain true to Love’s Vastness and to my own local self and brother too?

2. Day 16: Oh Joy. Oh Crap.

Eva Lisle — Fri, 16 May 2014 05:30:43 +0000

Today’s fear in the “21 Fear Salute” is ever present in each one of us. It may be what is behind the two-year old declaring “I DO IT MYSELF!” as much as it is behind the 40 year old Mom cursing under her breath “I always have to do everything myself!” Why are we so afraid to ask for help? What do we think this says about us? That we are losers? weenies? hopeless & ill plan-worthy? Or is the fear...

1. Day 26: The Unfolding of Joy

Eva Lisle — Sat, 26 Apr 2014 05:00:56 +0000

I am feeling slow-ish and tired (headache too) from last days of frenetic activity. I have so much to do before tomorrow……… “I Am Here Now” Quiet Blanket Tea Candle Clock-tick Heartbeat Breath Comfort Uninterrupted Peace I noticed in the whirl of yesterday that fear of commitment without the fear is just commitment. Me: Why have I feared commitment in work (especially) for so long? HS: Because...

1. Day 13: Loving Circle of Care

Eva Lisle — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 05:30:44 +0000

Holy Spirit and I look in the mirror together: HS: Dearest One, I see a woman who has spent her whole life loving and caring for others; dolls, friends, teachers, parents, husband, children, members, clients and now is discovering that one person was left out of that loving circle of care. You, your Self, and I Am. Dearest One, you have done nothing wrong by caring for others or for forgetting...

1. Day 6: Judgment Meets It’s Maker

Eva Lisle — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 06:00:08 +0000

I frequently begin a post with my thoughts, as that is how I live. As I am aware of my thoughts and how I relate to them so goes my day. How I relate to my thoughts produces my experience. So I extend space to my thoughts. I am afraid I will lose myself and not feel joy in the face of commitment. I love a fluid space in which to work, I instantly give myself rules and quotas and am hard and...
