Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Make the concerns of your heart seem as light as a feather. The symbol of a feather (white) represents light, flight and free flowing energy like that of a bird from which it comes. It can be liberating when we allow our emotions to be like a feather, remaining lighthearted and free to be released. Using this symbolism to be in this state is a powerful tool for helping us to be free from resentment. Release any negative emotions you are harboring and be present with your feelings in the moment. Peace, Dr. Ma'at E. L. Lewis

Maat E's Mental Health Message:
Ancient Egyptian Proverb Theme of the Month - Be free from resentment!
As humans we naturally have emotions and get angry, frustrated, furious and mad. These emotions can be natural responses to unnerving situations. Worse is the onslaught of dehumanizing acts suffered as a people in the form of slavery, genocide, apartheid or other such atrocities. Being free from resentment in the face of ill will and treatment is almost unthinkable for some of us, yet resentment is not the same as the state of being angry or mad, it is holding on to such emotions after the immediate G threat or harm is done. Being resentful often means WE have not taken the action neccessary to begin healing, to remove ourselves, to confront the wrong, cope better or to ignore it if necessary. Those actions are our responsibility. We can not control a wrong doer, but we can affect the impact of the of the wrong and dow what we need to prvent it from happening again.

Maat E's Mental Health Message: If your're going to be doubtful, try to only question self doubt. Some of us spend a lot of time second guessing ourselves and our abilities. We spend more time thinking about what we cannot do and why we can't do it, instead of what it is we ARE capable of and ways to do more of it, ignore the doubt and concentrate on what you can do.
Be well. Peace, Ma'at E. L. Lewis

Maat E’s Mental Health Message:
Making mistakes can be helpful because we can learn from them too. Not all of life’s lessons come from planned educational or learning experiences. The opportunity to learn comes in the form of so called mistakes all the time. The secret is to know that nothing is a mistake, just an opportunity to learn something we were not expecting to learn. The choices we make and those of our children have something to teach us and them about our truth and about having compassion when things do not go as planned. Have faith that we all will learn from so called mistakes.

Maat E’s Mental Health Message:
If you think you are going to lose faith in yourself, ask someone else to hold on to it for you.
It is fine to ask for support and help when we are unsure of the strength we have within ourselves. Maintaining faith in oneself can be extremely important to coping with life, but in anticipation of times when you get weary be prepared to have people around you that can hold the faith when you can’t. Know that you are never alone and the powers of the universe want to support you.

Maat E’s Mental Health Message:
Affirmations that you are on the right path will continue to show up so long as you stay on your path. There is a sense o f knowing that comes when we are living according to what is meant for us. Sometimes when we are not living that way we choose to ignore that something needs to change or adjust. We find lots of excuses or reasons not to believe the affirmations, yet they return. Trust the signs that you are on the path to learning what you need to know.
Peace, Ma’at E. L. Lewis

Maat E’s Mental Health Message:
No one can tell you the truth; you have to experience it for yourself. Once you experience who you are, your divine essence, you know it. This knowledge can remain hidden for years and even after you come to know it you may be prone to forget. At some point the day will come, filled with love and clarity that you are one with all that is divine. May you find your truth in this lifetime!
