Higher Ground Ministries: spotlight

This Month's Thoughts for:

Send me your light and your faithful care, let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.

Psalm 43:3 NIV

Body-Now that all of the holiday celebrations are nearly over, it's time to look at taking care of ourselves. If you haven't already been, you need to find the right balance in life so that you can have time for exercise and to strengthen yourself.

Mind-Whether you're a student or a graduate, it's never too late to learn something new. Keep your eyes and ears open so that you may find guidance through God's word.

Spirit-Take time each day to pray and talk to God. He hears you.

A Special Treat: Author Judith Orloff and Emotional Freedom

2 Higher Ground is proud to be a stop on Author Judith Orloff's Blog Tour for her book, Emotional Freedom. Please take a moment to read over some information about her wonderful book. We hope this will be a useful resource for our readers! Thanks to Judith for stopping by!

“Emotional Freedom is a must-read for anyone who's tired
of feeling frustrated, lonely, or stopped by fear."
-Deepak Chopra

I'd like to tell you about my friend and colleague Judith Orloff MD - a UCLA psychiatrist and a pioneer who bridges mainstream medicine with intuition, energy medicine, and spirituality. She invites you on a remarkable journey where you can embrace more happiness and mastery over negativity than you may have ever known. Our world is in the midst of a meltdown. She describes how to stay intuitively and spiritually centered in our times.

Dr. Orloff celebrates the exciting paperback launch of her New York Times bestseller Emotional Freedom: Liberate Yourself from Negative Emotions and Transform Your Life. She is treating you to an incredible one-time book-launch offer with special gifts from herself and friends such as Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Joan Borysenko, Dr. Michael Beckwith, and more!

To purchase the book and receive your "Celebrate Joy" special gift collection go to:
http://www.drjudithorloff.com/emotional-freedom-paperback/

In Emotional Freedom Dr. Orloff states:
“I’m presenting the unique process I use with patients and in my own life to view emotions as a path to spiritual and intuitive awakening (not EFT). I synthesize traditional medicine with energy medicine to offer you new tools to master emotions and become heroes in your own life. Inner peace leads to outer peace in the world.”

Publisher's Weekly’s review of Emotional Freedom says:“Superbly written..Dr. Orloff regards emotions as a training ground for the soul, and views ‘every victory over fear, anxiety, and resentment as a way to develop your spiritual muscles.’”

We're all wonderful women, so have your moment in the spotlight! Let others know what you're doing that helping to lift us to Higher Ground!

Healthy Relationships: Where do you fit in?

Blessed is the man who perseveres under trial, because when he has stood the test, he will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.

James 1:12 New International Version

In relationships, we are all put to the test in one way or another. Whether we are being taught a lesson in trusting others or in learning to love selflessly, we must always be on the lookout for signs that the enemy is lurking nearby. Sometimes what we think might be one of God's tests for us is actually our own ego struggling to overpower His influence in our lives.

If you are fighting constantly over the same issues with your significant other, take a step back and ask yourself, "What would God want me to do here?" It could be that He wants you to take enough pride in yourself to stand up for your right to be respected in the relationship. Maybe you need to step up and express your dissatisfaction with the way you are being treated in order to make your loved one understand what you need. Or maybe you are with someone who is treating you unfairly and God wants you to guard your heart.

If your usual tendency is to run away from a relationship when you aren't 100% satisfied with the other person's behavior, this could be an indicator that you aren't being realistic in your expectations. No one is perfect and learning to love one another's flaws as well as one's gifts is part of a healthy relationship.

A great resource for you to check out if you are having difficulty sustaining relationships is "Safe People" by Townsend and Cloud. I am currently going through a Bible Study with some ladies and we are using this book as our guide. There is alot of great information about boundaries and how to identify traits in others who may be unsafe for us. If you get a chance, check this one out.

Higher Ground's Wish List

In order to do more wonderful work with women, Higher Ground Ministries will need a few things:

Building-Where we can meet and hold classes, we need a home base.

RV or Van-We plan to take our empowerment ministry on the road and help women wherever we can.

Laptop Projector-For presentations and workshops

For now, these things would greatly improve our ability to serve. If you have the ability to donate funds to help us secure these things or if you have these items and wish to donate them, we would greatly appreciate them!

We are always looking to link people to the items they need. We are often contacted by individuals who need appliances, furniture, clothing, etc. If you have items that you no longer need, please check with us to see if we know someone who might need them.

Thank you for supporting Higher Ground Ministries! May God bless you!

Higher Ground Happenings...

Women's Self-Esteem and Empowerment Meetings

Currently, I am looking for participants who would be interested in completing Beth Moore's Breaking Free Bible Study and also, Joyce Meyer's Never Give Up. If you are interested in participating in either of these studies, please get in touch. I can usually get a small discount on the cost of workbooks for groups of ten or more.

I am always available for group presentations on goal-setting, self-esteem and stress-relief tactics. If you are interested in booking an event, just e-mail me here for more information.
