Trató de saber la causa, pero no recordaba haber hecho nada malo. Entonces le contó a su buen amigo Neil Warren lo que le estaba pasando. Sin pensarlo mucho, Neil le dijo que su problema no era un sentimiento de culpa, sino de vergüenza. Dice Smedes que al momento no entendió lo que su amigo quiso decirle, pero poco después comprendió sus palabras. Sucedió cuando él visitó a su madre en el hospital. En un momento de la visita él la escuchó decir que se sintió muy feliz porque el Señor la había perdonado. Luego ella agregó:-Oh, Lewis, sabes que ha sido una gran pecadora.¿Una gran pecadora? La declaración de su madre lo sorprendió. Toda su vida esa mujer había luchado sola, limpiando casas, para poder criar a cinco niños. ¿Por qué decía semejante cosa? Entonces Lewis grabó las palabras de Neil Warren, y pensó: «Lo que mi madre está sintiendo no es culpa, sino vergüenza». Toda su vida su madre había creído que no era suficientemente buena, ni como madre, ni como cristiana. «El sentimiento de no ser suficientemente buena era para ella lo mismo que ser mala», escribió Smedes. *¿Cuál es, entonces, la diferencia entre la culpa y la vergüenza? Según Smedes, la culpa es producto de lo malo que hacemos. La vergüenza, en cambio, tiene que ver con la clase de personas que somos. Es el resultado de creer que no estamos a la altura de lo que se espera de nosotros, que no somos suficientemente buenos. **La buena noticia es que, tanto para la culpa como para el sentimiento de vergüenza, hay «bálsamo en Galaad». Además de que la preciosa sangre de Jesucristo provee el remedio perfecto para tu culpa de pecado (ver 1 Juan 1:9), su maravillosa gracia te asegura que no tienes que esperar ser bueno para ir a él. ¿No es esto, precisamente, lo que dice nuestro texto de hoy? «Venid a mí todos los que están trabajados y cargados, y yo os haré descansar».En otras palabras, ¡Ve a Jesús tal como estás! Llévale ahora mismo todo lo que aflige tu corazón. Si acudes a él, su promesa es que no te echará fuera. Bendito Jesús, en este momento vengo a ti tal como soy, confiando en que no me rechazarás. Ayúdame a creer que tu sangre preciosa limpia todos mis pecados, y que por tu gracia estoy completo en ti.* Lewis B. Smedes, Shane' y Grace. Sanando la Vergüenza, No Nos Merecemos, Harper San Francisco, 1993, pp. 3-4. **Ibídem. páginas 10

Guest: Howard Martin, Executive Vice President, HeartMath, Inc. During the pandemic, people re-evaluated their priorities and connected with deeper values regarding their relationships with family and work. Despite what it looks like on the news, many became more optimistic about the future as a result. A recent Harris Poll reported, “Sweeping research suggests the future is bright and we are rethinking, resetting, and reimagining our futures for the better. Hope and optimism are increasing, connections with friends and family are strengthening and we are re-prioritizing towards what matters to us most.” Add Heart® Podcast host Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., and her guest Howard Martin, Executive Vice President, HeartMath, Inc., talk about the awakening of the heart that is occurring around the world. They discuss a new opportunity that humanity has right now to sustain the awakening of compassion and heart connection without needing a pandemic, disasters, or other stressors to motivate us. It's in the heart that people access feelings such as compassion, care, kindness, forgiveness, and appreciation that lift us above separation, judgments, and blame. In our deeper heart, we can sense that nothing is going to change until we can start to put our heart first. Caring and genuine heart connections can help to offset stress accumulation from anxiety, fear, or panic, while clearing the mind for effective reasoning, especially when confronted with health, financial, or societal challenges. In the new edition of their book Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Heart's Intuitive Guidance for Effective Choices and Solutions, released in February 2022, Deborah and Howard share how we can build trust in our heart's intuitive guidance and how each person's heart intelligence (heart's intuitive guidance) can help us connect to higher choices and untapped potentials. The episode closes with a heart meditation that we can use daily to energize our commitment to adding more heart to all of our relationships and connections, knowing that we are each contributing to a shift in humanity's energies from separation to cooperation and resulting in higher solutions to our global, social, and economic problems. About our guest: Howard Martin has been with HeartMath® Inc. and HeartMath® Institute organizations since their inception in 1991, serving as a key spokesperson and executive. In 1999, he co-authored The HeartMath Solution with Doc Childre, published by Harper San Francisco and considered to be a classic and the definitive work on the intelligence of the heart. Howard is also a contributing author of the new book Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Heart's Intuitive Guidance for Effective Choices and Solutions, re-released in February 2022. He also co-produced, along with Doc Childre, the online video learning program The HeartMath Experience. As a key spokesperson, Howard has conducted countless media interviews on all of the major U.S. television networks, internationally syndicated radio, major magazines, and documentary films as well as conducting online and in-person speaking engagements and training events annually. He speaks internationally on developing the new intelligence needed to navigate life during these changing times and the importance of creating global coherence.

Road to Healing – Lenten Journey 2014Day 34: Play Now: Walk through a cemetery and you're sure to see a variety of headstones.Different epitaphs describe the departed individual and/or a philosophy of life. On most headstones you'll find the name of the deceased person followed by two dates – the year of birth and the year of death. Between the two dates is what I call the “time dash.” This is a small line that denotes the time between birth and death. The dash is usually the same size, whether it points to a life measured by months or one measured by decades. Illness and disease remind us of our mortality, that is they remind us that the dash has to have some meaning. Conversely, when the dash is meaningful, illness and disease do not seem to matter.Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier opens his spiritual autobiography with a scene that is all too familiar. He writes:It's late at night as I lie in bed in the blue glow of the television set. I have the clicker in my hand, the remote control, and I go from 1 to 97, scrolling through the channels. I find nothing that warrants my attention, nothing that amuses me, so I scroll up again, channel by channel, from bottom to top. But already I've given it the honor of going from 1 to 97, and already I've found nothing. The vast, sophisticated technology and … nothing. It's given me not one smidgeon of pleasure. It's informed me of nothing beyond my own ignorance and my own frailties.But then I have the audacity to go up again! And what do I find? Nothing, of course. So at last, filled with loathing and self-disgust, I punch the damn TV off and throw the clicker across the room, muttering to myself, “What am I doing with my time?”*This is the question that becomes more pronounced when illness and disease hit us. Surely, the scenario in which Poitier finds himself is another type of disease.When things are going well, we forgot that our time on this planet and in this life is limited. Time is the most precious of all commodities. We know this. We say it enough, with witty words like, “Life is too short…” But when it comes down to it, we take our time for granted. As we move on our own spiritual journey and on the Road to healing, the question “What am I doing with my time?” is central to our wellbeing. There are many ways to answer this question. It could be descriptive of time-spent, such as, “I am scanning through 97 channels,” or it can be as profoundly simple as “I am living.”Interestingly enough, you don't have to give an accounting of this question to anyone but yourself. To who else does it matter? You know if you're wasting, squandering, exploiting, enjoying or living the life you have. And no one else can place a value or make a judgment call on your use of time. Ultimately, you are responsible for the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years of your life. They will make up the content of the time-dash one day. You are on the Road to Healing. You, if anyone, know the value of time. Part of the 40-day Lenten Journey is to find the strength and courage to implement the discoveries you've made during this time, throughout the rest of the year. That is, the 40 days of Lent are to strengthen the 325 other days in the year, and ultimately to make the life changes you need to be and live the healthy life you were intended to live.Today's prayer is an adaption that I have made to St. Nersess Shnorhali's prayer of the 9th hour. It's about being. Let us pray,Lord, bless me with the holiness to open my eyes to the beauty in the world, my ears to hear the songs in the air, my mouth so that I may speak out for righteousness, my heart so that it may think of peace, my hands so that I may work for justice, my feet so that I may walk in the paths of healing, and direct me in your commandments. Have mercy on all your creation. Amen.This is Fr. Vazken, looking forward to continuing the Road to Healing with you tomorrow.* From “The Meaure of a Man: A spiritual autobiography” by Sidney Poitier, 2000, Harper San FranciscoProduced by Suzie Shatarevyan for http://epostle.netPhoto – Guitar Magic (c) 2002 Fr.

Effect on Emotions Emotions are a direct outgrowth of your intelligence. The way you think is the way you feel. The way you understand is the way you emote. If you have a very quick mind, you're going to have very high energy emotions. You're going to be quick in your emotional responses just as your mind is quick in the pickup. If you're slow and thorough in your thinking, your emotions will also be a little more sluggish, a little more patient, a little more thorough. If you get a lot of pleasure from learning, from understanding, from using your mind, you will have more pleasure in your emotions. So it's a direct relection of what's going on in the brain. That's why if you want to improve your emotions, don't sit there trying to change your heart, change the input in your brain and you'll get a different output in the heart. Thoughts on Breathing I find if you don't breathe it's hard to think. The brain needs oxygen. Suggested Resources Book: The Bible, it's a very mindful book. Book: The Joy of Intimacy: A Soulful Guide To Love, Sexuality, and Marriage Book: Any book based on tradition is mindful. App: n/a What Does Mindfulness Mean To You? I think mindfulness is really synonymous with life itself. If you're not mindful, you're not living; you're just existing or surviving. You haven't been hit by a truck so you're still here. But that's not called living. Mindfulness is not an option, it's not like you can live without it or you can live with it. It's synonymous with life. If you want to be alive, start paying attention.We're very enamoured with the quality of our existence. We want to exist well and we forget to live. We have a very comfortable existence compared to our grandparents and to other countries and other places around the world. We do have very comfortable, very nice existence. But the amount of effort we put into it and the amount of concern and anxiety over it just drains us of life. It is the very successful who are most likely to get depressed because; what is it all for. As long as you're still trying to improve your existence, you're kind of distracted. Once your existence is good, it's like, now what. What was it all for? The other problem with focusing on your existence is that two people, both focusing on their existence, cannot get along. It's just not possible. They certainly can't bond. Because when you're focusing on your existence, it takes you into yourself and away from others. You become introverted in some way. In order to connect to another person, the only part of you that is flexible enough to thrive on the presence of another person, is if you're both focused on living because life is flexible. Existence is rigid. It's got too many rules. You've got to have this house, that car, it's just too rigid and it carries over into your personality. Even success as a person is too materialistic. Too much of that existing. For example, people will be surprised and shocked to hear this. If you're determined to be a good husband, you're going to have an unhappy wife. If you're determined to be a good mother, you're going to have an unhappy child, because if you're trying to be good at something, you're too busy with yourself.
