When I do make good choices and respond to my inner voice (what I call “my spirit”), I feel at one with myself and am therefore more available to others that I care about. I am then able to share myself and give in an open and loving way because at this time I can give from a “full cup.” A long time ago I was told by a very wise woman,
“You cannot give from an empty cup,”–this advice came during a time when a much-loved relative was waging a losing battle with cancer.

After one Brain Wave Vibration training, I watched the tea being poured into the cups in the tea circle, filling each to the brim,and a thought came to me, “She gives from a full cup,” and my heart opened and tears welled up–my sign that a personal truth is spoken. I shared this thought to the group and went on to describe the changes in my thinking and behavior that had been occurring since doing Brain Wave Vibration. The good choices were becoming easier and more frequent, like being on autopilot.

Most important to me, however, was the transition that had taken place during that day’s class. While doing Brain Wave Vibration and focusing on, “I am nourishing my spirit,” the phrase flipped in my head and became, “My spirit is nourishing me.”
