OK so I ‘m going to open up here!
The other day I found myself getting into an argument with my wife. She was sitting at the computer, as we were discussing our not so favorite topic “finances”. I suddenly put my lips on the back of her neck. I don’t like arguing, but do it anyway. I zipped my lips up and just stayed there for a minute or so. I feel I was talking to her without using words that are so troublesome to us sometimes. If we can just stop the words for even a minute it helps. If we can just not respond when slighted like I did with my wife above and desensitize. We only have to do it once to learn this skill.
The inspiration I got to do this was from her and you can read about it in this previous post. Called “Andy avoided arguing”

Just not responding is a strength not a weakness.

| Good for you Andy. I recommend you read chapter 8 of Ekhart Tolle's "The Power of Now." (Yeah, I know, but I am reading him right now and he has so much to say) The chapter is titled "Enlightened Relationships" and can be read online at: http://www.mindwell.be/ebooks/thepowerofnow.pdf |

| Yes Shawn the 3 books I recommend for people to read are Mind power, healing back pain, and the power of now. I think these three along with my keys to healing are all you need. |

| Gong along with Andy they say Jesus' surrender at the cross was the greatest act of strength because of his surrender and forgiveness. |

Hi Shawn, I downloaded the pdf for "A new Earth" from one of your posts. I am a very slow reader, I am going to print it out and read in peace when windsurfing.
Thanks

Andy, I love this and the link previously.
It's so quietly elegant.
Shawn, another great book downloaded.
Cheers! |

| Thanks for posting the link to the book Shawn. I havent read it yet but can someone explain how it relates to tms? Is this the book that gets you to focus on affirmations? Thanks |

I don't think this is the same book Ace1 talks about Shawn. This one is wrote by Atkin in 1912, not by John Kehoe.

No, I don't know everything. I'm just here to share my experience. |
