\u201cWhen we lose a limb we experience phantom body pain. \u00a0When we lose a part of our spirit we experience phantom soul pain. They both hurt!\u201d Kathleen O\u2019Keefe-Kanavos<\/em><\/p>\n

If you have \u201chit bottom\u201d you are in a perfect place to begin again because there is nothing left to hold you back or keep you down. As cohost with Kelly Sullivan Walden of the radio show Dreams\u00a0Unzipped,\u00a0it is my pleasure to discuss tips with you and share tales of\u00a0Tears to Triumph<\/em>\u00a0offered by world-renowned guest Marianne Williamson.<\/p>\n

\"Marianne<\/a><\/p>\n

When you were a child you may have had physical growing pains. \u00a0Expanding limbs can create cramps, and aches. \u00a0As adults, we forget that as long as there is life, there is growth even when the growing pains are of a different sort; emotional.<\/p>\n

A child\u2019s arms weighted down with precious toys are replaced by mature hearts overburdened with life.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We loved our childhood toys and when one disappeared we felt as though we had lost a piece of ourselves. A toy slept with and lost becomes so traumatic it may\u00a0change sleep patterns. A lost adult relationship can do the same thing.<\/p>\n

On the way to our adult \u201ctoy\u00a0box\u201d it is not unusual to lose something that brings us to tears. We suffer emotional phantom pain. \u00a0So, how can we move from tears to triumph?<\/p>\n

Mirror therapy<\/a>\u00a0used to help alleviate phantom limb pain from amputation can be modified to reestablish a connection with self to find the lost pieces of our life.<\/p>\n

Mirror Box Therapy is an occupational therapy invented by Vilayanur S. Ramachandran that is comprised of a mirror box in which two mirrors in the center (one facing each way) helps alleviate phantom limb pain, in which patients feel they still have an amputated limb.<\/p>\n

How can similar therapies treat dissimilar ailments when one is physical and the other is emotional?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Modified Mirror therapy discussed in detail during the radio show is a method to find and reconnect with what is truly important in life- you. It is an emotional therapeutic technique to reassess your priorities. It is difficult to ignore yourself or embellish on the truth when you are looking yourself in the eye. What a great way to get to know yourself better.<\/p>\n

When a part of our spirit is lost we experience phantom soul pain. Journaling is a means of measurement. How will you know how far you have improved if you don\u2019t know where you are right now? You may be pleasantly surprised when you read your journal and discover you\u00a0are<\/em>\u00a0improved.<\/p>\n

Like Mirror Box therapy the goal of Modified Mirror therapy is to reestablish a connection with self through the windows of your soul; your eyes. Using any mirror accomplishes this goal and is easy enough to do daily in the privacy of your home.<\/p>\n

The next time you look in the mirror while brushing your teeth, combing your hair or getting dressed take\u00a0thirty seconds\u00a0to look deeply into your eyes. Then, ask and answer these three questions:<\/p>\n

1.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When was I the happiest in my life? When you feel joy from that memory of that moment you have found what was lost.<\/p>\n

2.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 What can I do to reestablish that happiness in my life now? If you feel\u00a0excitement\u00a0stemming from the question you are reestablishing the connection by formulating a plan.<\/p>\n

3.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How can I keep that joy safe? The answer to this question is an emotional protection mechanism. Once implemented it will help keep your love safe.<\/p>\n

Ask your own questions. Modified mirror therapy is a bit like stepping through the Looking Glass into Alice\u2019s Wonderland. If you look in the mirror and dare to ask, \u201cHow far down this darned rabbit hole filled with tears do I have to go?\u201d Don\u2019t be surprised if a voice from behind the windows of your soul answers, \u201cHow far down do you want to go? It\u2019s your journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

The more truthful you are with yourself the quicker your will find your missing parts and the tears will turn to triumph.<\/p>\n
