Benefits of having hope
Oct 09, 2020
Hope develops over time, but can take an instant to inspire.
Planting seeds of hope, does wonders for healing and the human spirit.
Hope dissipates negative thoughts and energy, uplifts the spirit and co-creates a better world for you and others.
It makes us feel lighter.
It helps us to believe again.
A spark of hope leads to opening the doors to letting in a world of love and happiness into our heart, doors we may have held tightly shut for a long time.
It provides an opportunity to grow and heal.
Hope is an essential need of our spirit!

How can we cultivate and understand hope?
Oct 08, 2020
There is ample research showing hope can be cultivated and developed amongst even those who have experienced trauma.
There is no set formula for experiencing hope.
Some think of past experiences that were difficult and were worked through and helped with healing, to move forward.
Others set attainable goals, small ones to work on daily, that are realistic and achievable.
It could be something as simple as having the courage to go outside once a day and sit on the front door steps.
Other ways to connect with hope include, surrounding oneself with people who believe in you so the energy is shared, feeding one's mind with loving thoughts and visualising a healthier, happier you.

Why is hope important?
Oct 07, 2020
Hope is important for our spirit.
Although in times of challenge’s we may not be aware, we search for hope.
Sometimes we find ways to reach out and connect with something, a greater power within ourselves, to be there, to comfort and nurture us, when all else has failed.
We reach for hope, often in times of deep vulnerability.
Hopelessness is one of the criteria for a depressive episode.
Feeling hopeless, can lead to despair and people losing their desire to be present.
Sometimes others have hope and belief in us, when we do not have any ourselves.
This too can have a profound effect on our ability to heal.
It can inspire hope in us.
Like the gift of sharing love, sharing hope, can alleviate pain and suffering.
When others have hope in us, or we have hope in others, it brings light to a dark tunnel, that there seems no way out of.
It gives people a reason to be and to want to move forward.
All it takes is a little bit of hope, to...
Hope is a need of the spirit!

Do you have days of hopelessness?
When you feel that there is no way out of the darkness?
When you have lost sight of anything meaningful in your life and struggle to feel good?
Losing hope is something many have experienced. The days and nights seem long and we are wondering why we are here.
What is hope?
Having hope may sometimes seem impossible when things are challenging, but it is an important virtue to cultivate.
It is a virtue of love, that is healing, our desire for a better future.
It is our faith in the unknown which can be scary at times, but necessary to move forward.
It is that ray of light, shining through dark empty spaces, reaching out to uplift our spirits.
We need hope, like we need love and faith, although many of us struggle to have hope amidst trials, tribulations and hardships.
“But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love,” 1 Corinthians 13:13
