HURRICANE KATRINA/RITA –
LEARNING OPPORTUNITY EIGHT:

APPLY MY SELF-KNOWLEDGE

Now is a time that you can apply what you are learning about yourself as you watch your experiences of Hurricane Katrina and the suffering it is causing – whether you can experience your emotions deeply, in terms of physical sensations in your body.  Now is the time to apply whatever else you have learned about yourself when you asked, “What can I learn about myself from these experiences?”  Whatever you have learned, or suspect you have learned, experiment with it.  Apply it now.  If you discovered that your need to give is based on guilt because you have so much and the people you are seeing on the Gulf Coast have nothing, look at that and ask yourself if you want the intention of guilt to be a controlling influence in your life.  If not, pick another intention.  This does not mean not to give.  It means give with a different intention, an intention that feels healthy to you, that is life-giving and life-affirming.  Guilt is neither of those.  If you experience yourself as powerless, or one who must immediately launch into action, ask yourself, “Why?”  Is it because of compassion or a sense of helplessness that you are driven to action?  

Begin to use what you have learned about yourself to change your life.
