Hi Pietro, I just had a question regarding body language.

You mentioned the body holds no secrets. Just curious, would it be possible for people who have really studied body language to be able to “hide” how they are feeling from others with their own body language? Bonnie.

PART 1:?Self Discovery Radio Part 1

PART 2: Self Discovery Radio Part 2

In my childhood I was very sensitive around my height.

If someone actually voiced insult or derision around my height, I would sometimes feel devastated. I could not, in those times, authentilly move beyond my shame to offer the comfort and re-assurance that it was okay – I was just fine and normal.

Instead, I would beat myself up, cursing myself for being born in this shape and form.

I replited the abuse and shaming from others – towards myself.

As I was beme more conscious I began to challenge and enact boundaries towards the self-depreting and shaming behaviours.

I began to give assurance to myself, specifilly to the part of myself who held that shame.

This form of self-re lasted years, until I me to the place where it no longer mattered what you or someone else believed to be physilly abnormal.

We grow up with multiple traumas.

Many times in our lives we are faced with events that are outside of our area of coping, that we are unable to fully recover from.

Traumas are the result of events which exceed our expectations, that we are unable to compensate for or fully recover from. (Read more on trauma)

Despite the fact that many suffer profound trauma in later life, our first trauma, usually suffered in the early years of our lives, will have signifint impact, probably the most impact of all traumas.

My book, A Return to Consciousness, looks at how all trauma, but especially how that initial trauma affects us. It helps us to understand the impact and effects of trauma, how to recognize when our traumas are affecting us on a daily basis, and how to work towards successfully recovering from them. Thus ensuring we lead a wholesome, fulfilling, and productive life without being subjected to the impact and limitations that trauma brings.

Our Level of Tolerance reflects our ability to withstand and handle stress.

A stressful event or situation is one that falls outside of the Level of Tolerance.?

Since the Level of Tolerance varies from person to person, stress, and how stress affects us, is relative to each and every one of us.

Whenever we encounter a stressful situation that falls outside of the Level of Tolerance, then it is highly likely that we will temporarily cope with the stress in ways we used to cope…

Many religions preach various forms of enlightenment, attained from good works and deeds and living by well-intentioned standards, morals, and disciplines.

Our television commercials want us to believe that buying a product will magilly transform sectors of our lives.

It is drummed into us from an early age that if we acquire certain edutional qualifitions we will attain the comfortable lifestyle that money n buy,

We are groomed to believe that when we cross thresholds our lives will either be instantly changed or in some way turned around.

Forgiveness is spacious and timely.

When I am influenced by traumas from my past, I will have the tendency to assume guilt before innocence.

I distrust.

When I am in forgiveness, which essentially means that I am looking at my world through authentic eyes, which in turn assumes that my vision is unhindered or tainted by the sightings of my trauma, I am willing to take the space and the time for you to show your goodness.

My forgiveness is not a constant. Forgiveness does not require that I will wait forever, or even for a very long in some ses. If I disagree with you, or you don’t pull through in ways that are needed, forgiveness has the boundary in place to exercise, and if need be to express the “No” appropriate to the situation.

For those living in the northern hemisphere, the fall or autumn months bring cooler temperatures, and greater susceptibility to colds and influenza or ‘flu.

The last five years have seen deeper understandings of the nature and cycles of viruses underlying flu and cold symptoms. It is now recognized that a virus n actively live on a surface for as long as 48 hours and rries the potential to infect as long as it remains alive and active.

Most viruses are passed along from person to person through the transference of body fluids.

While it is virtually impossible not to come in contact with a virus, it is far more possible to avoid the effects of a virus and consequently tching a cold or flu.

The suggestions below n help to avoid the effects of virus contact:

Forgiveness of others is dependent on our ability to forgive ourselves.

If?we are prone to exercising blame and intolerance towards ourselves, then our ability to forgive others will be limited. (Read more on Self-Anger.)

If?we have suffered from, or have been exposed to any kind of trauma,?we will have acquired the propensity to take what happens in our outside environment personally. (Read more on Trauma.)

Taking our outside environment personally leads to shame and self-rejection. (Read more on Personalizing.)

As we move along our in our personal growth process we learn to replace self-shame for self-acceptance.
