I am a student of James Arthur Ray and forever grateful for what he has taught me - about being grateful for those things that are great in my life which helps to attract more. It is important to get your thoughts in line with where you want to be. I was recently in one of his seminars and something that really hit home for me was "focus on your desire not on your reality". I hope this helps and if you want to take a look at his new book Harmonic Wealth go to www.harmonicwealth.com/ Jill I am sorry to hear of your sadness.

It really is difficult sometimes to navigate life, and it's definitely no fun to feel "trapped," as you mentioned. Is there anything else that calls to you? Beneath all the confusion and feelings of stuckness, is there any whisper or subtle inkling as to what direction you might be called towards? One of the most agonizing times for me when I was making a decision to leave the monastery (after 19 years), was in the not knowing what to do, that dark place within that could not make a decision to either embrace the life, or to make the decision to leave. It was sort of like a state of limbo...too bad to stay, too hard to leave. For years I defaulted to a life of stagnation. It was like being in a mental fog, going through the motions of daily life, but not being able to fully live. One of the most helpful things for me during that time was a network of people that I was able to bounce things off of, a supportive group of people (those with a degree of understanding). This network included those outside my community and also therapists. However, the most important part in my coming to terms with finally making a decision to leave was in my efforts to listen on the inside to all the pain and confusion, to allow all fears to be expressed (in a safe way of course). T he method I used was "Domininant, Non-dominant handwriting, writing out questions with my dominant right hand and answering with my non-dominant left hand. It was a way for me to short-circuit the linear logical mind that did not want to express what might have seemed to be illogical thoughts and dark feelings. It was an opening up, an embracing of all parts of myself, the darkness as well as the light. You'll find your own way. I think sometimes the Universe shakes us severely and creates "impossible" situations as a way for us to seek deeply within for answers that do not seem to have a "logical" fix. If you're inclined, please let me know how you're managing. A great resource for me during that time of confusion was a book: Too Good to Leave, Too Bad to Stay: A Step-by-Step Guide to Help You Decide Whether to Stay In or Get Out of Your Relationship by Mira Kirshenbaum This book was quite instrumental in helping me get to a point of clarity. I highly recommend it! Sending you my warmest thoughts and prayers! So sorry to hear you’re having such a rough time!
