    Turn Obstacles into Opportunities

    Suppose disappointment without anger is the mark of an old soul, and not being disappointed is the mark of a really old soul. In that case, living your own life purpose and trusting your own life so thoroughly that every step on its path is valued more than where it is “supposed to take you”,…

    2024

    But we all know that willpower is something that is always there when we don’t need it. And rarely there when we actually need it. When the subconscious mind is engaged, you may not need much of the quality of willpower – Energetically speaking, this word carries a heavy energy of “hardship.” Just like when…

    Journeys or Destinations

    In my childhood, I dreamed that when I grew up, I would marry a train conductor, so I could, in my imagination, travel for free! I shared this dream with my sister and a close friend. The friend said she had a feeling, that in the future more people would be flying to travel. I…

    The Younger Version of Me

    Candace looked surprised and a little delighted. I looked down at the printed note again where she had also written, “I have not lived in another country even though I have always wanted to. I never know where I should go…” It made me smile and I jokingly told her I had a feeling I…

    A new client today asked me, before leaving the office, “Do you always use the same words in your sessions?” After seeing a puzzled look on my face, he explained, “I mean, you used the word God a few times in our session.” As far as I could recall, I said the word God because…

    I Eat Vegetables. I’m Not a Vegetarian

    Kathy told me that she just left another job–or, more accurately, was let go by another employer. As I listened to her talk of her problems, her words came out as fast as her footsteps. I asked her, trying to slow her down, “What would you like to work on through hypnotherapy?”

    Moving Forward with Hindsight

    The stupidity doesn’t lie in what you did, but in calling yourself stupid.

    Coming Out of Life

    I breathe in the fragrance of my herbs and flowers. I planted them. Miracle grew them. And now I am grown by them. They are my teachers, as everyone and everything is my teacher. Between two big rocks, there can be very limited soil, so limited that the eyes cannot see, but a tiny little…
