Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Stay put and what you want will come to you. When we are clear about what we want and detoxify the fear that we will not get it, the things we want in life find there way right to us. By exercising clarity and intention we define our needs in the universe. The next step is to be receptive to what the Creator has to offer. The things you want, defined with clarity and intention will show up when the time is right. Keep the faith, lose the fear. Have life, health and vitality.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
"Be" more than "do" and you will get more things done. The importance of the state of "being" is seldom reflected upon. Western cultural values stress the need to do things. Valadiation and worth are then measured by what we accomplish. There is nothing wrong with achievement, yet how you get there may be the difference between leading a full healthy life or feeling run down and an early death. By doing so much we get things done with a high price to pay. Be still and watch how things begin to happen. Peace Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Slow down to hurry things up. Ever notice that when we are rushing toward some goal or hurrying to get things done, nothing seems to get accomplished or it still seems to take a long time. Everything is in divine order so whatever pace we move at is the pace where we ought to be. Slow down and the natural flow and progression of things will take over. Trust your process.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
There is divine order to our lives even in the chaos. It can be so difficult to understand why we go through struggles, have drama or just can't seem to figure things out and get it together. Everything happens as we need it to whether we know it or not. The difficulty comes when we don't know or forget that everything happens in the interest of gaining Self-knowledge. We forget that the Self is both a spiritual and material being manifest from an underlying Divine essence. Knowing our Self means knowing that we are more than the material ups and downs that life presents. We can transcend the drama. The more chaos we have the more opportunity we have to recognize that we are greater than it and do not have to identify with it. Have a blessed day!
Peace-Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Be kinder. What we put out in the world is what we will get back. The energy we give off can be very subtle, such as a relaxed demeanor or bold, like radiant smile. Pick your your demeanor for the day. What would it take for you to choose to be kind. Many of us feel as if we are always sweet and nice in the world. Take a closer look and practice being kinder than you already are. The kindness is not weakness. It is a demonstration of inner strength and compassion that will ultimately serve you more than anyone else. Have a warm and welcoming day. Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Compassion breeds humanity. No matter how much hatred and anger we feel towards another person there is a reflection of ourselves in what we direct towards someone else. The anger towards them is also anger at ourselves, perhaps for something we've unconsciously done or regret about our choice for the situation in the first place. Everybody wants love and consideration no matter who they are or what they have done. We want it for ourselves, when we make mistakes. Find compassion in yourself for you and all the people who have done you wrong. Compassion dosen't mean you forgive and except the same things to happen again, it means you understand we are all human, make mistakes and can heal and move on. Having compassion dosen't predetermine any behavior or response. It simply opens the heart so we can move beyond our past hurts and regrets. Have compassiion for someone today.
Life, health & vitality! In
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Sometimes lessons are expensive...especially life lessons. We've all taken a lesson or two during the course of our lives...piano, dance, tennis, karate and so on. These recreational opportunities for learning usually cost some nominal fee. The price might place a stretch on the budget, but it is something we can manage or do without until the money comes along. On the other hand, life lessons, those unsolicited opportunities for learning and growing, seem to come at such a high price. First, we don't expect the lesson so we are not prepared for the expense. Second, the cost for the unexpected lesson is well beyond the budget we set. Third, the lesson is so significant that we can not ignore it and essentially must pay. Fortunately, life lessons are meant for us, more like a gift to Self from Spirit. The lessons happen because we need them. The price may be expensive, but if we get the message, the cost will be well worth it. In addition, we will recover! Life lessons keep on giving and eventually paying for themselves.
Go ahead accept the expensive lessons.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Your soul mate is not necessarily your sole mate. The word soul refers to the unseen aspect of our personality that according to some exists beyond time and space. It may hold the sum of our experiences in this lifetime and those gone past. If this is so then a soul mate is someone who resonates with some aspect of the sum of our existence. They feel familiar and in harmony with who we are perhaps because the experiences of their soul compliments ours. From this perspective it is possible to have multiple soul mates, numerous people with whom we deeply connect because of past or unconscious life experiences. Having more than one soul mate does not mean we do not meet certain people that have something unique we share. It simply means there may be numerous people who uniquely connect to us. Be open to your soul mates. Peace Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
We have to go through life to get through life! As much as we all want to be spared heart ache and pain, it is the very fact that we go through such struggles in life that we learn how to cope. If we are fortunate, we learn how to access the endless well of divine strength that exists (often dormant) within us. During the next struggle of the day use the challenge to draw on more of your inner strength. May the day be filled with life, health and vitality.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Just as still waters are said to run deep, true love spreads wide.
When we have love coming from within our Spirit, it is limitless, unconditional and spreads widely. True love is not reserved for special people because it's reach is so wide there is enough for everyone. When we find ourselves falling deeply in love, it is also important to balance it out and spread the love around. Love widely and deeply.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Make love!
The concept of making love is not just about intimate relationships or a physical act. Making love means choosing to open our hearts to other people and creating a loving connection based on the divine essence of who we are. Making love means sowing seeds of warmth and kindness with new people we meet. Making love is about cultivating unconditional love without giving love under any condition. Make love with yourself meaning treat yourself better than anyone else. Make much love, create more peace. Be blessed. Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
The more you love your Self, the more those you love will love you. Most people know the need to love oneself first, but fewer know how to engage in the act. Self love is simply an everyday exercise where we make choices about how we treat ourselves and subsequently influence the treatment from others. For example, an easy way to practice Self love is to choose to say kind things to ourselves instead of negative criticism and self talk. Another example, is to choose to take care of your basic needs before taking care of someone elses needs. Be aware that every thought and action we have is a choice. If your own love is a priority for you, it is more likely to be shared as a priority by someone else.
Have life, health and vitality today!
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Pass if aggressive! When we encounter situations where we or the people around us are aggressive, take a pass on it. Aggression is the assertion of oneself without regard for the other. Assertiveness is when we express our concerns keeping the other person in mind. If you are not concerned about them and they are not concerned about you then move on. Let that one pass. Spend your energy where it is worth concern.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Learn how to hit a curve ball. In the game of life we can be sure that the ball thrown our way is often going to be a curve ball. Rarely, will the pitch come straight at us in some predictable way where we are guaranteed to even hit the ball, let alone knock it out of the park. With practice (life will give plenty of chances for that) we can learn to hit (handle) the unexpected with greater and greater skill. Until then we can only do our best.
Have life, health and vitality!
Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Great things are waiting for you. The powers of the universe are on standby waiting for you to give the command for what you want out of life. Not getting what you want is greatly a function of not knowing or being afraid to say it. It is that element of fear that stops us from taking small steps or action toward our goal. We can be so hard on ourselves not honoring what is by divine right ours to have. We all deserve it, whatever the it is. Are you willing to face the fear that creates the hesitation that keeps you from the great things waiting for you. Open up just a little bit to let your hearts desires free.
May your day be full of life, health and vitality.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Be the victor and not the victim! Bad things happen to good people and good people make bad things happen. No matter how we got to where we are, victory can be our from this point on. Take responsibilty for your healing, self care and actions. Claim what you deserve from this point on and work the process of forgiveness of your self and others for whatever in the past they or you did wrong. Start the forgiveness process by saying gentle and loving things to yourself verses negative criticism or judgements all day long. It is okay. Things happen and we go on. The Creator loves you and I do too. Be gentle and loving.
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Trust the process not the person! We are all living the unfoldment of our own spiritual process. Everything is connected to learning how to return to or be in a divine state of peace and harmony with life, no matter what experiences we go through. So when we are dealing with other human beings and we feel scared, angry, hurt, and in distress, it is helpful to trust the process of what we are going through and not the person. The other individual is being used as a tool for you to learn to heal. They are going to do whatever the universe needs them to do in order for you to get the lessons you need. Spend time looking at your response to their behavior as opposed to their behavior. It is much easier to figure out and change your own stuff.
Trust your process. Have a day full of learning, life, health and vitality!
Peace, Maat E.

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Healing can be a slow process or happen in an instant. Whatever the case for your healing, be gentle with yourself. Sometimes we want to hurry up and feel better. It may seem that time is going to run out. When it comes to mental healing the process can be painstakingly slow and every moment seems like an eternity. We think were running out if time in anticipation of what is next. Since life is not promised and tomorrow may not come we are best served living in the moment tending fully to healing the wounds at hand. Be gentle, be still and the healing will come.
Life, health & vitality!
Peace, Maat E.
