Let’s Talk About It

You can’t talk yourself into being changed. You can talk yourself into a process that will change you, but talking won’t make you take the actions and it won’t keep you at them past when it’s new or exciting or fun.…Details

That’s Just Part of My Character

Is it?  Is it really?  People tend to excuse issues they have, struggles and reactions, hot buttons and behaviors, by saying that it’s just part of my character or that’s just the way I am or that’s just the way I’ve always been. …Details

Put Down the Stick

People think that they don’t measure up.  They aren’t meeting the goals that determine whether they are a success or a failure, that define their self-worth, that make for a “happy life” and so something must be wrong with them. Many times they can number those wrong things in great detail. …Details

The Bridge To Nowhere

The bigger a plan, the more it stretches out over time, the more there are pieces which are blank or we put question marks in them because at the moment we don’t know.  Sometimes this is just because we don’t yet have the time to really sit down and figure them out.…Details

Interpretations

Many times a problem lies not in the event that happened but in our interpretation of it. We are meaning making machines and a large part of our early years is spent in learning what things mean such as how our parents can know we were doing something (sound carries), why does my foot suddenly hurt (gravity/dropped toy, sharp object, angry insect), or why should I stay away from the stove (burning heat).…Details

I Was Super Famous

…don’t you want to know about my past lives where I was a super famous person?  Um….nope.   Not because it’s not cool or interesting. It usually is to a certain extent.  There are books out there by people and about people who have been famous or influential in past lives. …Details

Technical Difficulties

People bang their heads against obstacles all the time.  I have students and clients that have struggled with things like meditation, reading their own Akashic record, or journeying and they have tried “absolutely EVERYTHING!”  Sometimes they have worked on this for 20+ years to no avail.…Details

Investing In You

People sometimes get fixated on a mythological someday where they will have all the time and the energy in the world to do what they want to do.  Which never seems to be today and never even seems to be soon. …Details
