HUMAN RIGHTS

“Whenever and wherever humanity’s values are abandoned, we are all at greater risk. The solutions to today’s greatest crises are rooted in human rights.” (United Nations)

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted on December 10th, 1948 as a result of the experience of World War II. This document was taken up a the first session of the UN General Assembly in 1946 – a newly formed entity comprised of an international community – that vowed to never let the atrocities that occurred during the conflict ever happen again.

So much has been taken – so many have been tortured, dismissed, discarded – on a personal level, on a racial level, on a religious level, on a physical appearance level, on a gender level…and the list goes on. How do we heal from this as an individual or group or tribe?

We are curious creatures and may notice differences quickly – but this does not mean that the differences are anything other than just that – different. Not good, not bad, not threatening, not divisive. Only when we attach meaning to these differences do we see ourselves as separate and unique. Maybe we just received different attributes to show one another how great the spectrum of our species truly is.

Food for thought:

What is the mantra or intention that we could say to ourselves on a daily basis that would release our attachment to the differences we see in others?

Live and let live?

Que sera?

We are all one?

The interconnectedness of humanity is resolute in the sense that we are all a part of the same species. We already have common ground – we are able to choose what we see beyond that. Do you see yourself in me?

Intimacy–into me I let you see. This may seem risky and for those who are risk-averse or have suffered at the hands of betrayal can be a scary proposition. Working with a counselor you can practice safe ways to allow your heart and hands to be open to receive and give unconditional acceptance to live a fulfilled, purpose-filled life.

At Miracle Activation Center we practice 4 pillars from SMART recovery that help our clients discover, recover, rebuild, and reclaim their lives.

Home (Pillar 1)
Just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz said, “There is no place like home.” We help our clients find what home means for them and how to connect to home.

Health (Pillar 2)
We help our clients find models of health around nutrition, physical exercise, good sleep habits, medication if needed and meditiation.

Community (Pillar 3)
We all go home together. Finding a community that is supportive and allows every member to be fully self-expressed is the key to connections.

Purpose (Pillar 4)
One of our greatest joys is helping our clients find purpose in their daily lives. For many who have been accustomed to an external locus of control model, this can be one of the most liberating aspects of recovering. We believe that everything you need to know to create a beautiful, purpose-driven life is within you. We help our clients gently awaken and remove all barriers to peace and the truth of who they really are-perfect, complete, and whole.

This is part of what we want to address at the Miracle Activation Center. Everyone has experienced some form of trauma – from the playground to retirement – and allowing ourselves to experience what it feels like to forgive, release, surrender and enjoy this life we were meant to live is what we’re working toward for everyone who finds us.

Happiest of holidays – whatever that may be for you –
