Earlier this week, I had the absolute honour of chatting with Mavis Karn who wrote the letter, called ‘The Secret’ I will be quoting below…

Mavis is someone who was trained by and worked under the late Scottish Mystic, Syd Banks whose work in Innate Health, or the ‘3 Principles’ have transformed my own life, and that of my clients.

I have previously shared this letter with my clients, and communities, but felt compelled to share with all of you too, because it is a letter I wish I had read when I was younger.

Show this to your daughters, to your sisters to your mothers, to your Aunts, to your friends, to your communities.

Shout it from the rooftop.. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!

*A little note on how to read this letter

1. Read it without trying to ‘get it’. Let whatever comes to you while reading this letter come to you.

2. Allow the feeling of the words of this letter to soak into you; like listening to music.

3. Read it when you are in a quiet space.

 

The Secret by Mavis Karn

“Dear Kids (and former kids),

I have a secret to tell you, nobody meant to keep it from you…It’s just that it’s been one of those things that’s so obvious that people couldn’t see it…like looking all over for the key that you have in your hand.

The secret is that you are already a completely whole, perfect person.

You are not damaged goods, you are not incomplete, you are not flawed, you are not unfinished, you do not need remodelling, fixing, polishing or major rehabilitation.

You already have within you everything you need to live a wonderful life.

You have common sense, wisdom, genius creativity, humour, self esteem…you are pure potential…you are missing nothing.

The only thing that can keep you from enjoying all that you already are is a thought.

One thought, your thought.

Not someone else’s thought.

Your thought . . . Whatever thought you are thinking at the moment that feels more important to think – than feeling grateful, alive, content, joyful, optimistic, loving and at peace. . . that’s the only thing that’s between you and happiness.

And guess who’s in charge of your thinking? Guess who gets to decide where your attention goes? Guess who gets to write, produce, direct and star in the moment you’re in the middle of? You! Just you. Not your past (stored thought), not the future (did you ever notice that it never, ever shows up?), not your parents (they all think their own thoughts), or your friends (ditto), or school or television or situations or circumstances or anything else. Just you.

Thinking is an awesome capability. Like any capability, it can be used whether as a tool or as a weapon against ourselves and others. And just like with any other tool, we can tell whether we’re using it for or against ourselves by how it feels.

When we think against ourselves or others, we get in trouble. When we don’t, we usually stay out of trouble.

FEELINGS EXIST TO WARN US AWAY FROM USING OUR THINKING TO CREATE TROUBLE IN OUR LIVES AND TO GUIDE US BACK TO OUR NATURAL, HEALTHY ABILITY TO LIVE OUR LIVES TO THE FULLEST.

So, please remember that your thoughts are not always telling you the truth.

When we’re in low moods, feeling down, our thoughts are not to be trusted…our IQ drops.

When our thoughts pass and we lighten up, our thinking is once again creative, positive…our IQ goes up.

The only way you can feel badly about yourself and your life is if you think badly about them…it’s up to you, every single minute you’re alive. It’s always up to you!

This is the best, most liberating secret I ever learned, and I want you to know it too.

With love,

Mavis”

I am extraordinarily lucky that Mavis will come and be my guest coach for my CIRCLE group membership in January 2021, and I will be interviewing her for my podcast live on my FB page, also in January.

 

We’d love for you to join us.

 

Love, Charli x
