Waking Up From Groundhog Day

     In the 1993 film Groundhog Day, Phil Connor wakes each morning to find himself living the same day, over and over.  At first he responds to his predicament in an egocentric way, taking full advantage of situations and others for his own personal gain.  Eventually he falls into despair and attempts to escape his situation by ending his life.  When Phil finally accepts his situation and begins to use the knowledge he had gained for the benefit of others, he finds happiness, inspires a whole town, and wakes up.
     This movie is a perfect metaphor for how so many of us live our lives, stuck in the same patterns that repeat over and over again – as is we are re-experiencing the same day.  And we will attempt to escape the situation by keeping ourselves busy, distracted and numb.  But there is a healthier way.

   I have recently published a book, Awaken Your Greater Health: How Energy Medicine Opens the Way to Healing that is about this process of waking up from our patterns – the transition from living locked in lower-self thinking, feeling, and diminished health states to a life lived from the higher self. Because as we saw with Phil, life lived from the higher self brings us happiness that is mutually-beneficial to ourselves and others.
