Introduction:

Welcome to the next, this time the 8th part of the series on the way to myself. I would like to warmly thank all those who send me your shares and deep insights from your life experiences, whether they relate to Edgar Cayce or other journeys. Gradually I will answer everyone, there are a lot of you and I don't want to beat you with a few austere sentences. Just be patient, please. As always, I drew lots for the answers and the winner of the craniosacral biodynamics treatment is Mr. Michal. Congratulations. So let's dive into another principle of happiness brought to us by the "sleeping prophet" and now use the precious information for our growth.

Principle No.8: Personal Alchemy: Weakness can sometimes become a strong point

Alchemists have set themselves a seemingly impossible task: to turn lead into gold. They believed that it was possible that something as ordinary as lead could be transformed into the most valuable metal. At first glance, they seem to have failed completely, but it is possible that their entries were encrypted messages. Perhaps they were aware that the real transformation is taking place in the human mind and spirit.

What is the "lead" of your inner nature and what is the "gold"? We all have personal shortcomings and they are not very appreciated aspects of ourselves, on the other hand, our strengths - talents, abilities - are rare treasures. Is it possible that these two elements could be related to each other due to some kind of personal magic? Sometimes we can miraculously change our shortcomings in our favor.

What are our weaknesses?

These may be parts of our human nature that have not fully developed. Concerns, feelings of incompetence, some may suffer from fear of public speaking, others feel incapable of logical thinking, and others perceive their weak will. Another type of weakness is based on the misuse of resources and opportunities. These people then have a tendency to overeat, speak too often, are too aggressive towards others, feel envious, long for power or wealth. We all have some shortcomings. Dealing with them does not do us very well, it is much better to look at them from a different angle and turn "lead" into "gold".

Edgar Cayce as an alchemist

Happy those who have received Edgar Cayce's interpretations and could experience the essence of change. According to his advice, the deficiencies were only the merits that were badly applied. Due to my hypersensitivity, I experienced the situation in my former jobs, when I felt futile over what nourished me. I worked as a medical laboratory assistant, I performed blood tests in a large hospital, where it was often just about points for the insurance company and not about the patient himself. For my colleagues, I was naive, pitying, and too sympathetic to those people. Only when craniosacral biodynamics appeared did I be able to use these shortcomings and hone them in receptivity, compassion and intuition. Thanks to new experience, a certain one has succeeded in my world character trait to use for good.

Five languages ​​of love

American psychologist and sexologist Gary Chapman works in a beautiful way with our strengths and weaknesses. Watching hundreds of dissatisfied couples, he came to the conclusion that each person fulfills their needs in a different way. He divided people into five main groups, the energy they use to fill their emotional tanks. They also give the same energy to their surroundings and especially to their partner. He called them the five languages ​​of love through which people communicate with each other:

• Touching
• Attention
• Gifts
• Acts, maids
• Praise

When we classify ourselves, it will be easier for us to find out the language of love of our partner, our children and other loved ones. My language of love, for example, I pay attention, I love it when someone pays attention to me - and that is why I give attention in letters to you. My older son has the same thing, he likes to talk, he likes to share, he attracts attention. The younger son always brought us stones from trips. He had pockets full of them. We thought he liked stones. But they were gifts. When he then started receiving them, we all felt his great satisfaction. So it is clearly a gift type. Maybe you have a man of touch at home who is uncomfortable with how he constantly wants to touch you. When we change our point of view, it gives what it wants to receive. And you will be instructed to give your loved one your touch without feeling impoverished or even avoiding his touch. The result will be visible immediately. The pressure will disappear, the shortcomings will disappear, lead will be transformed into gold. Important and next step is to communicate about your language of love.

Four ways of perception

Jung's psychology provides further explanation of how shortcomings can be turned into strengths. He speaks of temperament as a manifestation of the four personal functions through which we communicate with the outside world.

• Thoughtí- ability to evaluate life situations using objective, impersonal methods.
• Feeling- This approach is the opposite of thinking. This feature evaluates circumstances in a more emotional and subjective way.
• Perception- perceives reality as what is now and here, relies on body senses.
• Intuition- shows a higher imagination and I perceive the possibilities of what could happen in the future.

Our temperament is the reason why you prefer one of these functions to the others.

It is generally said that custom hinders our internal development. We can be satisfied with relying on our strengths. In other words, what we are good at satisfies us so much that we do not feel the need to grow in other directions. And that's why I offer, as always, exercises at the end of the article. Write, share, share with me your experiences of the changes you have witnessed during your life. I look forward to every email. For the next part, I will again draw one winner of a craniosacral biodynamics treatment in Radotín.

I wish you beautiful days with respect and love, Edita

Exercises:

After honest self-denial, write on one sheet of paper your strengths and the other on your shortcomings. Try to be objective, lovers will be happy to help.

• This exercise of transforming weaknesses into strengths is similar to the exercise from the previous chapter. In this case, however, monitoring of life events is assumed. In this way, you will shed light on a few memories of when your shortcomings became strengths.
• Trust that life is your ally.
• Be sensitive to situations where these weaknesses are becoming your strengths these days.
• Be willing to take risks and discover personal alchemy that will turn your personal shortcomings into a personal resource.
