    Gandhi had a word, ahimsa. It’s usually translated Gandhi had a word, ahimsa. It’s usually translated as “nonviolence”, but just as health is not merely the absence of disease or symptoms, ahimsa is not merely the absence of physical violence. 💜➕ It is a positive force that promotes love, compassion, and respect for all living beings.

Gandhi described ahimsa as a force rooted in the soul, based on cultivating an attitude of love, care, and empathy that transcends violence. 🌱 It is not just a moral principle; it is a spiritual practice. 

Through his ahimsa practice, Gandhi transformed his own consciousness, turning anger, hatred, and fear into love, care, and empathy. And in doing so, he helped free a nation, without his “side” firing a single shot. 🕊

Here’s an interesting premise that we can apply to our own lives. I have a strong feeling that Gandhi was buoyed by SELF-LOVE during his process. 💜 I cannot believe he would have been able to transform his consciousness by beating himself up or by placing limits on how much love he deserved. 🚦

I don’t know about you, but I am not willing to go to most of the lengths that Gandhi did. But I can embrace the principle behind his transformation and bring it more to life by being a better receiver of my own love. 💝

    It takes radical valiance for me to stand in my ow It takes radical valiance for me to stand in my own sense of worth so I can GIVE and RECEIVE love fully.

Did you know the word “valentine” comes from the same root word as “valiant”? Courage and love go hand in hand, it seems!

Valiance is required because I still sometimes base my worth on “what I am not” rather than on what I am.

I base it:
- on the content of the life I HAVE rather than the life I AM,
- on other people’s opinions of me and their reactions to me,
- how many things I have,
- how much I am doing,
- and generally whatever is happening in the latest film running through my head, rather than on the Truth!

Can you relate?

    I can still take a stand. I can still speak and ac I can still take a stand. I can still speak and act for what I believe, which I intend to do. 

But with self-love, whatever words I use or actions I choose will be focused more on what I am FOR rather than what I am AGAINST. (Or on what others deserve!)

Energetically, my words and actions can contribute to the solution instead of the problem.

    💜 As the Buddha reportedly said, “Pain is mandator 💜 As the Buddha reportedly said, “Pain is mandatory, suffering is optional.”

Here are some ways that I (Stew) have been unkind to myself (maybe you can relate):

➡ I struggle against what is, I “should” on myself and others
➡ I strive to do and have more, thinking that is how I can become more and feel good about myself
➡ I beat myself up and hold things on myself rather than giving myself compassion
➡ I compare myself to others (and whether I come out ahead or behind, it still ultimately feels like crashing into the rocks)
➡ I operate under a false sense of urgency or responsibility concerning things over which I have absolutely no control

I do these far less than I used to, but there is always some work to do!

As you may have noticed, all these ways I suffer are self-inflicted. I am not blaming myself by listing them, I am taking responsibility.

It’s about realizing what I am doing and opening to the possibility that through that awareness, I can stop running with scissors and jabbing myself as I go. Or at least jab less. Starting right now!

💜 My human thrives on everything that is the opposite of brutal: gentleness, kindness, safety, ease, love and compassion. And so do I.

I learn, grow and evolve more easily under those conditions. I feel more joy, more fulfillment and more energy. And when I give myself these gifts of gentleness - when I go more gently down the stream - I find that I am also stronger and more resilient to serve my mission.

It is a tremendous challenge to walk gently through this violent and crazy world. So, I intend to make it easier by approaching myself and my journey more gently.

I would love to help guide you along a journey to wholeness and tuning in to your heart’s wisdom.

    This quote is good news, because it is a lot more This quote is good news, because it is a lot more fun to feel love than to see it! For us, love is also something we can DO. 

💜 In fact, the quickest ticket to the feeling of love is through the doing (giving) of love. As soon as we give ourselves permission to express it, we then become the first to experience it. 

💜 Check it out! It works every time…

    Generally, we only know spring has arrived here in Generally, we only know spring has arrived here in Tahoe when the water changes from being white to moving quickly!❄️ 💦🌱

This year, it’s happening MUCH earlier than usual.⏰️ 

Everything is about to spring to life, and that can definitely include all of us. 🌷🤸‍♀️

Let us use the arrival of spring to remember that there is life after winter, and there is also life after heartbreak, loss, despair and hopelessness. 🌤Let there be light!

🌱 What are signs of spring around you or IN you?

🌊The sandpipers remind me that scurrying is part of their Innate nature, a perfect adaptation to their environment. 

They seem to have 100% full faith that when they use the gifts they were given, they will indeed be taken care of.

💜 This is equally true for us. 

Perhaps if we stopped scurrying around so much, we would be able discover and develop the gifts we were given. 

💜 They are closer than our next breath, nearer than our hands and feet - right there in our heart!

    As this trend goes around, it is a beautiful remin As this trend goes around, it is a beautiful reminder that our inner child is still with us. We can access the joy and wonder of a child as we open our hearts.

We may also find old patterns or beliefs that wounded that child or traumas they were unable to process at a tender age. We can nurture that little one, guiding the way back to the wholeness that is our divine birthright.

Chiropractic From the Heart events are a safe space for deep and transformational changes. Through breathwork and other modalities, you will have the opportunity to release years of crap in one weekend, even stuff you didn’t know you were holding!! Then we will help you fill that carved-out space with self-love and self-compassion so you can stay focused on what’s right about you, rather than what might be wrong.

All that will happen within an intimate circle of connection with and support from like-minded folks. When was the last time you (and your inner child) felt totally seen and heard and accepted just as you are?

Come join us and feel how nurturing it is to know you are not alone. We will be in Barcelona and the UK in April. Visit tinyurl.com/bittmanbliss or email us with questions at bittmanbliss@att.net

She can be downright silly! 🤣

I love that because it is so easy to get wrapped up in the schmootz and seriousness of the world. 🌎 

No matter what is going on, holding joy in my heart always makes life better, easier and much more fun to navigate. 💞 Go out and do something silly for yourself and for the world!

Chiropractic From the Heart is much more than just a seminar or an amazing experience; it is a healing that will play out in every aspect of your career and every moment of your life.

💜It is a giant step toward living more of your moments connected to your greatest ally: your own heart. 💜

Over the weekend, you will discover (or rediscover) what your heart is most yearning for. You’ll also learn multiple tools for allowing those yearnings to unfold in your life and practice. And, you will leave with a clear trail of breadcrumbs that you can follow back to your heart when you lose your way.
