We realized, even as children, that the rain had to come so that flowers could blossom. Little did we know at the time that that was the secret of life. Sometimes rain and hardship would have to come, so that we could blossom. This is usually the case with the beautiful (I mean on the inside) people we know. These people have usually been through the rain and the storms of life. They have had some type of hardship and they have survived without becoming angry and bitter. In their case it has brought forth the fruit of patience and kindness, instead of anger and resentment. john_gilmore@pacificarticles.com (John Gilmore) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/1669/1/Mindfulness-and-Empathy-Using-the-News/Mindfulness-and-Empathy-Using-the-News.html Glued to the latest update on disaster relief?

Just hearing the news of a natural or man made disaster that has resulted in physical injury, the grief and loss of someone's loved ones, or worldly possessions can trigger feelings of mental and emotional distress. We may feel helpless and vulnerable to forces we have no control over. Life's usual order feels disrupted and our vision of a peaceful world lays shattered around us. Survivors of trauma, grief and loss and those who help them, or those who simply hear their stories are all affected. stiles_kg@pacificarticles.com (KG Stiles) Mon, 17 Jul 2006 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.pacificarticles.com/articles/1184/1/Why-Individuals-Have-Surivior-Guilt/Why-Individuals-Have-Surivior-Guilt.html Survivor guilt is not necessary nor normal.

Additionally when we feel happy we feel lighter yet we don't attribute this to any physical change of state.
