The Message Of Hurricane Katrina<\/title> \n<\/head><\/p>\n<head> \n<title>The Message Of Hurricane Katrina<\/title> \n<\/head><\/p>\n<h1>The Message Of Hurricane Katrina<\/h1>\n<div style='font-style: italic'>By: Mark Myhre<\/div>\n\nAs we continue to watch the heart-wrenching images of the damage and destruction brought on by hurricane Katrina, we naturally search for a way to make sense of it all.<\/p>\n\nWhy is it so bad?<\/p>\n\nWhy must so many suffer?<\/p>\n\nWhy did this have to happen?<\/p>\n\nAnd perhaps the most meaningful question of all – What can I do to help?<\/p>\n\nMany people heard the call – and responded by personally traveling to the stricken area.<\/p>\n\nMany more donated money or other resources. Many have opened their hearts and even their homes to the seemingly endless number of displaced citizens.<\/p>\n\nAnd that’s the way it should be.<\/p>\n\nHuman nature – at the most basic level – embraces human kindness. Nurturing is hard-wired into every human form.<\/p>\n\nBut many people watching just don’t have the ability to help in these ways. And some have closed off their own hearts to compassion and therefore lack the willingness to get involved.<\/p>\n\nOthers, having both the ability and the willingness to help – simply put off the choice to do anything.<\/p>\n\nNo matter where you stand – and you do stand somewhere on the continuum of participation – Katrina has a message for you.<\/p>\n\nWhether you actively participate in the relief efforts, or whether you stand back and say, “It’s not my responsibility” – Katrina practically demands your attention.<\/p>\n\nFor some, Katrina is a whisper. For others – more directly affected – it’s a shout.<\/p>\n\nLook at New Orleans as a metaphor for your life.<\/p>\n\nA city surrounded by levies – huge walls that keep out the water. It compares to a human heart – surrounded by walls – that keep out not only the pain, but also the emotions that come up in the living of life.<\/p>\n\nWe build and plan and structure a barrier that keeps us from feeling our own emotions. We fortify ourselves, and like to think we’re ‘safe’ – because we’ve protected our hearts.<\/p>\n\nAlong comes something that breaks through our walls. All of a sudden we’re vulnerable and exposed. Our pain is revealed. Our walls failed and we must deal with it – like it or not.<\/p>\n\nThe first message:<\/strong> \nExamine Your Walls.<\/p>\n\n“Where do I sandbag my emotions? Where is my wall? What do I do to keep out the pain? Is that really the best option?”<\/p>\n\nSecondly:<\/strong> \nMany on the news have quickly turned to blame and pointing fingers.<\/p>\n\n“Who is responsible for this?!”<\/p>\n\n“Who should be held accountable?”<\/p>\n\n“Who’s to blame?!!”<\/p>\n\nThe message for you to ponder:<\/p>\n\n“Who is responsible for my life? Who is running the show? Is my ego or my inner child making the rules and decisions in my life – or is it me – as the adult – who’s in charge?”<\/p>\n\nSeek your own inner authority. Become aware of the various ‘agencies’ inside of you right now.<\/p>\n\nYou are a multi-faceted individual – much more complex than you may realize. Who’s leading your life? Who’s been forced to take responsibility for your actions?<\/p>\n\nDo you function as a child, an adolescent, a critical parent, or do you function as an adult?<\/p>\n\nA third message of Katrina:<\/strong> \n“Where do I feel uprooted and removed? How have I been ‘forced’ to abandon my hopes and dreams – my joys – and my heart’s desires?<\/p>\n\n“How have I been separated from my own visions of living a happy and productive life? Where is my forced separation that has turned me into a refugee from my heart and soul and spirit?”<\/p>\n\nKatrina offers a chance for introspection and an opportunity to learn more about yourself.<\/p>\n\nThe examples listed above are certainly not the only messages – but they offer a starting point for pondering your own situation in life.<\/p>\n\nUltimately, Katrina calls for compassion, for gracious giving, and eventually for cleansing and rebuilding.<\/p>\n\nExternally – in New Orleans and the surrounding areas… and internally – in your heart and *its* surrounding areas.<\/p>\n\nAuthor Bio<\/strong> \nMark Ivar Myhre, The Emotional Healing Wizard To begin the journey of emotional healing, cleansing and rebuilding, grab your complimentary, no-cost copy of The Emotional Healing Quick Start Guide, by sending a blank email to <a href=\"mailto:jtf1@getresponse.com\">jtf1@getresponse.com<\/a><\/p>\n\nArticle Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.articlegeek.com\/\">http:\/\/www.ArticleGeek.com – Free Website Content<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n <center>—————————————– Advertisement<\/br><\/center><\/p>\n <\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycal8.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cream-20and-20Gray-20Organic-20Natural-20Cosmetics-20Single-Side-20Business-20Card-20-20-2-.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"600\" data-original-width=\"1050\" height=\"229\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mycal8.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Cream-20and-20Gray-20Organic-20Natural-20Cosmetics-20Single-Side-20Business-20Card-20-20-2-.jpg?resize=400%2C229&ssl=1\" width=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">Storm Ready<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\"> <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">Prepare for the storm; we have a variety of solar generators available and ready to be shipped directly to your door.
