One of the most vital roles that our back plays is in support of our movement and balance.  If you have ever had back problems, you know how vital a role it plays in your everyday life. Sometimes we don’t know what support is or what it means until all of sudden we find ourselves without it.  The foundation of a building provides the base support for beams which then provide the structure and framework for the walls and the rooms.  Do you know what your foundation is?  Do you know what support beams your foundation is holding up?  Our mind is full of ideas that support our day-to-day actions.  We have some foundational ideas that support the structure that allow us to do one thing and then the next.  Most of these thoughts and actions are so automatic we do not need to stop and create them.  It all functions automatically.  Just like we don’t have to decide to tell our back to extend energy to our leg bones and muscles before we take a step, it just happens and we aren’t even aware of the communication.  Usually we have no need to become aware of the ideas that influence our automatic pilot unless they are breaking down or we no longer want the result of those thoughts.  In other words, it no longer works for us.  Then we are willing to change.  This is why I have found such freedom in being able to recognize that nothing is personal.  No one is doing anything to me.  They are simply operating out of a system that works for them.  And they will continue to do so, until it does not.  Most of the thoughts and ideas that are firmly embedded in our brains comes from the foundation that was laid for us as children from our families and society.  They say the first six years of our life our brain is on record.  We observe and take in messages and ideas on how life happens, how people are expected to interact, and what our reaction is.  As that foundation begins to get rattled, we can grow up from the groundwork that was laid originally and create new structures.  The foundation that was laid was neither good nor bad.  The question is, does it work for us now or not?  My prayer for us today is that when we find ourselves face to face with an idea/thought that no longer works for us, we be willing to ask God to help us release it with love.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
