I have a little Success Story for Harry - would you please forward it to him.

As with many people Im working on my relationship with my mother, and sometimes I dont know what to do or how to take the next step, or even what the next step may be, so on my bed before sleep in the evenings Ive been saying some Type 4 beliefs such as I have a loving and caring relationship with .......... my mother, money, family, friends and work colleagues, environment etc. etc. and to finish I completed the compassion exercise on my mother.

She is 88 and can do most things herself but has few friends and Ive been trying!! to encourage her to have extra social visits to chat etc. but she has declined. After doing the compassion exercise each evening for approx. 20 days I phoned her to see how she was last week. She told me the young lady living next door (30 years of so) had visited her during the week to ask if she could be her friend, to do any little jobs she required, help with, take dog for a walk etc. The lass has been on drugs and has a young daughter who lives with her sister, she cannot have the child returned to her until she is free of the drug habit and she wishes to increase her self esteem by helping others/older people. My mum said yes to her offer. Mum sounded a little confused over the phone, and later I realised I too had been given a gift - someone living close to my mother who was able to do things for mum that I was not able as I live 3000+ kms away.

So for me I realised, Let go, use the tools, and you never know what may occur. I cant remember feeling in my heart what I felt the following day, but that I had been given a gift as much as my mother, many emotions came up for me and the tears, and the tears are in my eyes as I write this to send my thanks to Harry for the tools he has made available to us all.

My great appreciation to you Harry,

Best regards Lyn Lowe,Darwin Australia.
