Suicide
Vibrant health occurs at three levels: 1. Physical, 2. Mental/Emotional 3. Spiritual.
Our physical health may be affected directly by physical things such as trauma or infections. It can (616) 754-9437
also be affected by mental and emotional issues. These are called psychosomatic illnesses. These are www.MerrittAuctionService.com
real physical problems and their roots are in the emotions. True healing of these types of problems must
come from healing the mental and emotional condition first.
When we have issues and challenges that are rooted in the mental/emotional part of us, sometimes
we consider suicide. This is actually normal. We are genetically programmed to solve problems. When
we face something difficult, our brain, just like a computer, will sort through all the possible solutions The River Valley
News Shopper
to this problem. Suicide is one solution. But suicide has a built-in misconception. Since this is a mental/
emotional problem, it is not our body that needs to die. Rather it is some mental/emotional concept,
idea, old program, emotional trauma, or other bit of mis-information that we have thought to be true,
that needs to die. This misconception must be removed. It needs to go, not the physical body. Killing
the body is definitely not the answer. 491 W. Shaw, Howard City, MI 49329
If you are feeling suicidal and thinking about ways to do it, you must talk
to someone immediately. Maybe even medications will be needed for a time. Serving over 22,000 homes
But then begin to search for the mental/emotion traumas that have caused this weekly in the communities of
thinking. When you find them, use the Emotional Releasing Letters (last week)
or Emotional Freedom Techniques (next week) to release and remove these Cedar Springs, Sand Lake,
misconceptions out of your mind. You will then find that suicide no longer Pierson, Howard City,
comes into your thoughts, because the underlying problem is no longer there.
It is my belief that our purpose for being here is for our spiritual evolution. Morley, Gowen, Coral,
The problems we face in our life are there so we can follow that purpose. When Trufant, Lakeview, Amble,
we learn how to overcome the problem in front of us, we evolve into a higher Croton Hardy, Kent City,
spiritual being and become more and more capable of overcoming more and
greater things, each of which adds to our spiritual evolution. Bailey, Grant, Newaygo and White Cloud
