When we think of negative “energy” within ourselves, what comes to mind? Depression, anxiety, fear? Those are all indeed dream-killers. Learning to control those emotions (and the thoughts that they provoke) is probably the most basic step as we begin to truly take control of our own lives. You simply cannot focus on solutions […]
You Are a No-Good, Dirty Rotten Liar!
Lately I’ve been doing some more rigorous filtering of the people I’ll work with. It’s not that I don’t have good clients already; it’s more a change in my attitude toward my work. Honestly, when I started out I was like most people who want to work independently: if you were breathing and could […]
The Black Spot
When I was a boy I was an avid reader. I consumed (and was consumed by) any kind of adventure story – Last of the Mohicans, the Zane Gray books, Call of the Wild, and The Light in the Forest (which was based on real events in the very place where I lived) […]
Are You Too Special to Succeed?
One of the most prevalent and destructive subconscious beliefs that I see in many people (including myself at one time) is that they are different… special… the rules don’t apply to them. Now, this is a delicate and subtle area because we each are definitely unique and special, have widely divergent skills and […]
Do-It-Yourself Enlightenment?
When it comes to development of any kind… spiritual, personal, mental, emotional… many of us try to go it alone at first. This is especially true of men, I think; and “smart” people of any gender have spent so much time learning that there is so much wrong information out there that they’ve come […]
Are You a Proud Sufferer?
Sometimes we cling to the strangest things… including some weird and destructive ideas about ourselves that can be self-fulfilling. The most common of these is the pride that many of us take in our past suffering. I’ve done it myself many times, and so have you. There’s probably only a 50/50 chance that you’re […]
Don’t Cut Your Nose Off!
When I was a kid the old folks actually used time-tested parables and expressions. Nowadays most of these come from TV shows (“No soup for you!”) and other popular media. But before TV took over our culture, those old chestnuts served well. “A stitch in time saves nine.” In other words, fix it now […]
It’s You, Not Them
Recently a pal of mine, Julie, wrote something about “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Got me thinking. Of course it’s a cliche’…but cliches become cliches for a reason: because as often as not they’re true. Those of us with “differently-enabled” loved ones in our lives become painfully aware of this truism. Nothing […]
When the Clearing Doesn’t “Work”
A large part of the work I do involves “energetic clearing”. A lot of people nod knowingly when such things are spoken of. But as with a lot of things, that’s just because otherwise they think they’ll appear to be stupid (hell, I’ve done it myself when faced with something I know little about). […]
“I Think I Already Knew That”
As you can imagine, people consult with intuitives, psychics and energy workers for a wide variety of reasons. Obviously, the common thread is that they want help with things that they haven’t been able to do anything about through other means. Intuitive work is the red-headed stepchild of the healing arts world; after psychotherapy and medicine don’t produce the results they […]
