Bereavement Prayers and Verses: NO is about truth and identification.
The message needs to be clearly identified as relevant and timely. Predictably each of us has a need to become much less confused about what we are trying to achieve. This applies to everything, from what is useful to dealing with painful feelings. The puzzle seems to be to do with how to achieve that clarity and then to find the solutions to problems. The 7 Words System offers a straightforward innate procedure that permits us to achieve a greatly improved feeling of what it is that we are looking for. It starts with the word No. In the beginning we have to describe faithfully what we don't want, what is not useful, before we can know what we do want.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: HELLO is about openness and attention.
Its importance lies in bringing attention to aspects of death and dying that can perhaps otherwise not be recognized. The following step connects to the word Hello. We will certainly need to make ourselves open to new ideas and people if we expect to develop our array of solutions to our predicaments and problems. Is that reasonably logical? To get something new we will need to draw out our sphere of awareness and look where we have not previously looked already. New dreams, new people, new situations and new things are all characteristic of giving a degree of awareness to something we have not until that time lived through. This necessitates that we exchange old for new, that we have something to offer in adequate return for what we want to acquire.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: THANK YOU is about giving from the heart.
The poignancy of the reading will depend upon striking a balance between too little and too much sentiment. Among all available options, some are more attractive than others and of course we want them to have a higher meaning, because we appreciate them more. This is explained by the primary word Thanks. Habitually, we disregard the importance of what we have, then blindly move into thanklessness and are likely to take things for granted. It's more than merely civility to let somebody see our appreciation for things we attach importance to; it has an important part to play in helping us to reach our objectives . Unconsciously, we are attracted to what we express gratefulness for, and yet it's equally valid to say that we will be able to magnetize them to us too. We build up our magnetism when we say Thanks and therefore, when we do so, we easily bring things to us.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: GOODBYE is about completion and moving on.
The finality of death has to be dealt with; there is comfort to be offered in Truth. Goodbye is one of the seven primary words and relates to a course of development that has four stages. They are: realization, decision, completion and moving on. What we are saying goodbye to a possible stage of change, and therefore is seen basically as full-blown dismissal of a viable path of action that we had been stepping towards and in future will not go in for. It is a crossroad point in our range of would-be futures. Goodbye is different from No in that it means that we have had connection already, which now needs to end contrasted with No's refusal to become involved in the first place. Bona fide decisions cut the past away totally and that penetrating quality produces an open door that otherwise does not come to exist.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: PLEASE is about vision and prayer.
Many people have little or no experience of prayerfulness hence the special value of poetry to create sacredness through beauty. The future opens out according to the habits of what has gone before unless we take control of it and bend it to our wants. This calls for to have a vision of how we want it to be; this vision has to be very clear, unambiguous and positive transformed into intention. They differ don't they - vision and intention? The first is rather illusory and the second is much more centered and willful. For a vision to become real there must be cooperation. Nothing can be made possible without gaining the help of others - this takes skillfulness, in all probability influence, , even motivation. It is not always obligatory to tender something such as money or money's worth.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: SORRY is essentially about release.
Remorse, guilt and blame are issues that poems can address elegantly. Sorry, the sixth word, is best seen as repairing harm done if we've been inattentive or heedless to the needs or wants of someone else. The best strategy is to make sure we forestall the need to say it by being considerate earlier. Why on earth should we? Well it's because anyone we upset may well act against our better purposes and lessen our probability of achievement of our goals, so it is simply more judicious to take into account others as well as ourselves. It is all about being responsible, having some feelings towards someone whom we've upset and making penance when we've got it wrong. Only then is it feasible to prevent the likelihood or heal bitterness and release the unending unpleasantness that otherwise would intensify and fester.
Bereavement Prayers and Verses: YES is about accepting and surrender.
Perhaps the deepest compassion is expressed when leading the bereaved to accept what is inevitable. The closing phase of our 7 Words approach relates with acceptance; there are times when we simply have to agree to what we cannot change. The word is Yes. It would be delightful wouldn't it if we were able to make the world exactly the way we envision it - but in fact we can't. We always need to abide what comes, and to take what is not exactly what we asked for. The paramount technique is to trust that everything eventually turns around to our advantage, that the modifications to our plans are all improvements when understood in the perspective of the longer term. For sure it's not easy to see it when we are still close and attached to our desires of course not! However hold your horses and you'll see that the opportune incidents, the surprises and failures are actually the best bits veiled as hardships.
