Exploring relationships through the use of psychodrama

What is Psychodrama?
Psychodrama is a form of group psychotherapy that uses role-play and improvised drama, to encourage participants to express what their issues are and take action, instead of just talking about them.

Some common uses for psychodrama involve:
• Taking care of unfinished business (such as saying goodbye to a loved one who has died)
• Rehearsing a tough situation (such as “coming out” to parents)
• Dealing with relationships and often authority issues.

A Life Lesson for 2010

"We suddenly begin to understand that the reason we are here on Earth is not merely to experience security, comfort, pleasure, or even peace of mind but to develop. We are here to consciously evolve, to intentionally do anything & everything we can to unleash all of the extraordinary creative potential within so that the human race's next step can emerge through us." - Andrew Cohen

Some Life Lessons

How many times do people have to tell you you are amazing before you get it?

There is no peace without forgiveness. Attack thoughts toward others are attacks on ourselves. ~Marianne Williamson

Gratitude Thanks for this writing

“But how do I feel grateful when I want so many things to be different than they are?” Well, the answer is by wanting to focus on gratitude, by choosing to be grateful. Everything is always a choice when it comes to our focus.

Being grateful, however, is not about pretending to be grateful. It’s not about just saying the words. It is not a mental exercise. You must feel it. And you can feel it even when circumstances may seem grim. To quote Eric Butterworth’s Spiritual Economics, “This is precisely the time to stir up the gift of gratitude! Remember, it is not a reactionary emotion but a causative one.” In other words, by being grateful, you cause or draw to you more experiences to feel grateful about!

Gratitude and appreciation are powerful, high frequency emotions. You don’t have to look outside to your environment for things to be grateful for in order to feel and experience gratitude. You can choose to be grateful, to feel grateful, to experience gratitude. In other words, gratitude is not a response to something external, but a state of Being that you bring to the world. When you do this, amazing things happen."
