I so agree with 1oxbowgirl.... allowing yourself the freedom to transfer the knowledge to the heart. Applying the learning to one's life gives meaning to the new knowledged being gained. I guess that is way much of my contribution here has been to find the lessons. Its one thing to 'know' something.... it's another to apply the knowledge. Sometimes I have to just take a step back to process information until I can bring it into a personal understanding. Until I can relate it to my circumstances, my world view, my journey's cross-road.

Perhaps its the ying yang in practise. The feminine masculine. The cognitive behaviour balance.

As much as I welcome, appreciate, value the articles and information you post here NW what I look for is the application of the knowledge. How the knowledge strengthens your recovery. Changes your life. Impacts your daily thinking. I'm getting that from you in drips and drabs so when I see a full on reflection I'm excited to watch the transferance in action.

I'd encourage you to do both with your thread. Share knowledge and explore the application in your own life. How has that knowledge translated into a new understanding and transfered into new behaviours or beliefs.

Thanks NW for continuing to post. I've not been especially chatty lately but I am reading and absorbing and thinking about its applications. Take good care.......
