Feeling restless and frustrated rather than peaceful
Started this discussion. Last reply by Julia Olsen/ the Mixie Pixie Mar 2, 2012. 4 Replies 0 Likes
Have others experienced this? I consider myself fairly new to The Course, even though I have been reading and practicing it for a few years now. My understanding seems to be so far from complete.…Continue

Was I an unusual child?
I feel the urge to share my journey honestly & openly, trusting doing so will benefit me and others somehow. I have recently experienced a whole new level of peace, which I am sure results from the hours of meditation I have been able to practice. I remember when I first started years ago, it was hard to maintain even 10 seconds free of brain-chatter. With practice, of course, it increased, reaching plateaus, and then growing again, until now when I easily go up to 2 hours floating in…See More

Profile Information
- About me:
- I had a strong sense of God's presence since childhood, and have been in Alanon and other "co-dependence" 12 step programs for over 30 years, where I found an amazing relationship with Holy Spirit, who led me to ACIM thru an astonishing event that has convinced me this is the truth I have been searching for all my life. I am a mixed media artist (hence the Mixie Pixie name), disabled, empty-nester mother of 4, single 54 yo woman
- "A Course in Miracles" has helped me in these ways:
- I am finding times of indescribable peace, and trust that the struggles I am experiencing in undoing previous beliefs are part of the process necessary for finding lasting peace and joy.
- Favorite Spiritual Resources (e.g. books, websites, videos, songs, etc.):
- Courage to Change (Alanon), ACIM Mentor newsletter/articles by Liz Cronkite, so many books - by Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Pinkola-Estes, Moore, Hillman....

I got biopsy report today - negative/normal. Okay, that's good. I have been so peaceful during the waiting, not even a flicker of concern crossed my mind. I knew whatever the results, I would deal with it. Since practicing The Course I am a completely different person. In the old days, "pre-course", ("P.C." - lol) I would've had a whole drama scene with multiple phone calls to family and friends, lost sleep, hours of journal writing, obsessing, and general freaking out. Thank you,…

A couple years ago I had a revelation during meditation, which was of an image of two laughing Buddha children, in a form that looked like something I had seen in my childhood. They were reddish stained carved wood figures on an end table in someone's home. As the child looking at them I responded something like, "Hmm, weird. I don't get it. Why does anybody have these?" In the revelation I totally understood and got the joke. It is funny on so many…

Only recently has there been any acceptance of humans having what are considered normal abilities. The kids I speak with now don't even know what they can do! I was fortunate that my mother didn't tell me what I could do or see was wrong. My family celebrated the fact we were different. :)

Hi Mixiepixie!
I think many of us have childhood experiences we quickly invalidate so we can "fit in" with the normals. I didn't remember my own childhood experiences until a few years ago, and had nothing to understand what happened. When I picked up ACIM so much fell into place.
Welcome to Miracle Share and also welcome to Manual for Teachers group. I look forward to having you on the call whenever it is right for you.
Hugs, Wende
