Happy Jesus' Birthday and his call to Quantum Energies

May all who look at my blog ~ Facebook posts have a great celebration of Jesus’ birth.

What better way to celebrate Jesus’ birthday than with healing music from a talented artist and his "Rubik's cube" of talented colleagues  who shares their talents with us and with people who are close to us.

Jesus, with his parables, already promoted the quantum energy world. 

a Big Rolling Ball ~ a Pint sized Roller and Shaker

At a holiday party, I was seating talking with some charming women and a gentleman. About 33 meters away, a young girl, probably 4 or 5 found this huge ball … it was almost bigger than her. She started pushing the ball with gusto.

Breathing, Thought and the Mind

Breathing Thought and the mind

"breathing was the gateway to the mind. … 

Chinese had a saying that 

Matter ~ atoms ~ Vibrations and Source ~ Wow

This morning, as soon as I opened my notes I was reminded of Planck’s interesting comment about matter ~ Vibration and Source Energy. 

THANKSGIVING. ~~~ 2019

Happy Thanksgiving to All

Many decades 

Many people 

Many events

A kaleidoscope of facets

Shining bright

I am appreciative of all who’ve come into my life

I appreciate all that I have experienced 

All that I have learned

Autodidac … are you?

Autodidac … are you?

A photographer that I follow, Sean Tucker, had a blog post that asked if we are an autodidact. He defines auto as the self and didac as learning. Sean points out the importance of always being in a state of self-learning. General G S Patton said something similar “I don’t want you to hold the ground, I want our troops to advance, advance, advance.” (paraphrased from the movie of his life.

What are the elements of this self-learning – advancing (growing)?

SLLS ~ enables laser focus ~ an approach to mindfulness

I believe when we are distracted we separate from who we are. 

Self separation causes a variety of pain and detours.

While perusing the BBC, I came across an article on how to handle distractions. The best tip is ...

“When you begin to lose focus on your priorities,

Did your phone ever go 1 stop further on the Railroad than you?

Vive la difference

A client recently told me 

“… you are different form the other therapists. 

After an interesting weekend of working with people and their emotional energy.

A moment of shutter therapy.

I discovered light under the city.

The "K... " experience as part of self growth

My son, Thomas asked me to check out a book that he left on my desk.

Before leaving for the park for my 1 mile walk and meditation, I grabbed the book.

A Client shared with me that they were struggling with anxiety. 

For them to ask somebody to go out on a date, they needed the opinion of a 2^ndor 3^rdperson to confirm that they made the right move. 

They needed the approval from an external source to validate their desire. 

Intellectually, the person was able to acknowledge their own qualities,

The Pause ...

The Pause

I did it … 

for a long time I divided my focus on counseling/mentoring and photography… trying to build a business with both. It became more complicated, I tried network marketing for a series of products that I believe in.

My son, Thomas kept asking me “… how fast does the merry go round spin?”

He felt I was going in circles and my energies were being spread out to thin.

Snooze ~ Alarm ~ Lost in Sauce ~ Know you are the Cook

This morning I noticed a very inspiring message that my son Thomas had written and will share it with you ... let me know your thoughts ...

Morning Reflection:

Fascinating how we have a "Snooze" button on our alarm in the morning!

We have the option to hit the "snooze" button for a "moment" of "extra" sleep/rest and yet the very device that we chose to set is called an "Alarm."

Hmmmmm.....Irony?!?

The Wind and the Upside-down Sicilians

Humorous Toastmasters.  Wed 7/10/19

At the Humorous Toastmasters meeting, I gave a speech on My encounter with the Wind and 2 upside-down Sicilians.

It had humor and some serious thoughts as well

Have you ever had a day or a week

when the winds of change are blowing –

when you seem to be turning upside down.

Your world becomes topsy turvey.

You enter a state of Upsidedownness

I had such a week.

Night of Humor

My friend Marc Williams, delivering a version of his award winning talk about developing self-confidence at the Humorous Toastmasters Meeting on Wednesday 07/11/19. As usual his presentation was inspiring. He shared how he overcame his lack of self-confidence. His talk was spiced with different humorous antedotes.

At our meeting, I also gave my talk on dealing with being in a state of "Upsidedownness, my encounter with  the wind and with two upside-down Sicilians."

A Quantum perspective in helping a person heal

My graduate school professor in the 1970’s made an interesting observation. He indicated that physics was changing its focus. 

True Independence

Independence 

May we learn from these great swimmers and creatures who can fly, independence.

May the Mother, Father and community help the "newbies" to develop themselves and their special talents. 

May the parents teach them the negatives of Freud's Ego-Ideal. 

May the young creatures learn to value themselves  from the inside and have the courage to be who they are whether society approves or not. 

With independence may the young soar and fly beyond societies fears and wish for conformity.

Table Topics ~ I am the Wind

At a Humorous Toastmaster Meeting, I was selected for Table Topics. The Topic for the two-minute presentation was “what would you be that can be connected to June?”

I went to the front of the room and said, “The Wind.” I would be the Wind. 

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all Fathers who view my blog ...

I was greeted by a special visitor

The White Dragon …

Mindfulness v. the Ego paradigm which is the key to Self

Dr. Joe Dispenza, in his book, “ Breaking the habit of being yourself," indicated that being “… fully engaged in the flow … the environment, the body and time all seem immaterial …. ”  Being fully engaged, mindful, is necessary to be in a state of full positive consciousness.

Guilty until proven Innocent

Guilty until proven Innocent

Yes, this is not the statement from the American law systems which is a system unto itself.

For many people, however, it seems to be within the system of their psyche.
