The Nurtured Heart – Mad In America

The Nurtured Heart Approach Goes Mainstream: Research and Experience Support “Celebrating Greatness in Every Kid”

A new MIA Report by Amy Biancolli

Nurtured Heart “is empowering the child to handle their own body—handle their own emotions—in a way that gives them the identity of who they are.” This gives them a sense of agency and ownership, learning to express themselves in a way that’s safe for them and others—and, Anderson says, “still be authentic for who they are.”

Were that the prevailing model, everything would change. Howard Glasser can picture it.

“I’d love to see a school system, a district, that has no-to-low medications to prove the point. I’d love to contradict the notion that intensity is the enemy—that ‘ants in the pants,’ hyperactive, inattentive.” All the words that normally corral a diagnosis: “I would love to show that those are just sign points of a kid with a little more lifeforce. . . and actually, the more intensity they have, the more potential for greatness they have. I’m a fan of inner wealth. I’m convinced that every kid can be an inner-wealth billionaire. It’s not the one percent, you know?”

Solitude is not Loneliness

I have a sweet man friend who came up to me at a music hall and asked if he could join me because I looked lonely!

I replied that far from truth I enjoy watching others and being on my own was not lonely.

Having had a partner , with whom I felt lonely, the pain of loneliness was acute from no contact with our sons .

But as my knowledge grew of this loneliness, I realized I would die of it and that was the objective of ex , and making peace within , I surrendered loneliness and birthdays and holidays and his never ending control and abuse long after the finale divorce .

I never knew lonely is such depth until all I knew and loved in my family was removed to serve him and his dark shadow

“Solitude isn’t loneliness. Solitude is when the entire serene universe seems to surround and hold you quietly.”

― Victoria Erickson

Solitude is not about avoiding being with other people. It’s about being with yourself. In the words of Lao Tzu: ‘Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realising he is one with the whole universe.’

The solution is to know thyself. When you connect with your essence and live your individual truth, you will find happiness. That connection demands you to move within and embrace aloneness.

The Cosmic Dancer

In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop being enchanted by stories? When did you stop finding comfort in silence?

Your Angels are Omnipresent

I learned long ago to call in my benevolent angels to protect me from above , from below ,to my left and to my right .

I am highly aware of my angels and ancestors and spirit guides and it’s a blessing I’ll never take for granted 😇👼

The word ‘omnipresent’ simply means to be always present everywhere. The Angels are always with you and can be with everyone at the same time. They are not in form like you are so they can be everywhere. They are omnipresent. (You have your own personal Angels that are only with you.) If you think about it you are omnipresent with yourself. No matter where you go you will always be with yourself. As the Angels are with you and love you unconditionally, are you with you and love yourself in the same way? Love is omnipresent when it comes from the heart and is unconditional. No matter what you do or don’t do your Angels love you in the same way – unconditionally. To find that love, look beyond any reaction that comes up. See everyone and yourself with the eyes of the Angels. When you are truly willing to see and feel, to believe and trust without a doubt in your heart, you will find and know that love of your Angels. You will be able to see their presence everywhere you look. The place to begin is with nature. The beauty that is offered in nature comes from pure love and asks only for you to notice, admire and appreciate what you see, hear and feel. You can then be present with yourself everywhere you go with your Angels at your side.

Forgiveness& Letting Go

When someone does us wrong, takes advantage of us betrays or misunderstands and judges us, we need to stand in our power. When we cannot let go of the wrongs done to us we carry a burden that is not ours. We engage with low vibration energy and form a connection to the person who treated us unfairly. It is a trap that keeps us from ascending into the higher vibrations of spiritual consciousness. The higher your consciousness the more others and the world will try and pull you back into the chaos. It is only forgiveness and letting go that we discover our freedom. Forgiveness doesn’t release another from their thoughts and actions. The negativity or low vibration that they generated becomes their property until they eventually confront it, heal and evolve. When we engage we share in the energy.

11:11 Major Influx of Energy

11:11 marks another powerful Portal of Light. There is much flowing to us to support our Healing so that we may embrace a Higher Future. 11:11’s vibration is one of Balance and Yin/Yang. It signals a time of transformation, transmutation, and doors opening as we heal/release the old ways and our wounding. Themes: Alignment with Purpose, Release and Expansion, Creation, Self-Understanding, Synchronicity, Relationship/Partnership. The Healing and Creation/Re-Creation Potential of this 11:11 portal is amplified by the Eclipse portal. I encourage us to align our intentions with these energies to facilitate positive change. I am reminded that 2022 is a 6 year in numerology. We have been/are experiencing collective lessons of “allowing the heart to take lead over the mind/ego”. Despite outer appearances, we are evolving to a more inclusive level of Being. The Beauty of this 6 year is that it is one of liberation as we are growing into new levels of awareness, understanding, and self-realization. Many are awakening. Things cannot go back to what used to be as they are no longer valid or supportive of who we are Becoming. Each of us is on the precipice of actualizing a greater Potential. As we navigate through this doorway – may we do so with Faith and Purpose. We are supported by a Loving & Generous Universe. ~ Love, Diana

Mental Health – She escaped

6 Good Things That Happened When I Stopped Believing in ‘Mental Health’

By Charlotte Beale

In my late twenties, I had a series of crises. I realised I was far unhappier than I had been at seventeen, when I had first sought treatment. The pursuit of mental health had made me mad.

A pseudoscientific model of thought, bankrupt ethically, intellectually and philosophically, stole twelve years of my life. By some measures, I am lucky to have escaped it when I did..
