WHAT COLOR ARE YOU TODAY?

If I asked you to tell me intuitively what color you are at your emotional level, what would you say? Are you a bright sunshine yellow, a dark blue, maybe even a dull gray? Does that color change moment to moment, day to day?

Whether we are aware of it or not color plays a big part in our lives. The color of the walls in our home, the color of our car, the color of our stationery (for those of you who still write letters and thank you notes), and particularly the color of our clothes can and does profoundly affect our mood, concentration and emotions. Color can be the difference between humming a happy tune or crying, joyfully cleaning closets or absentmindedly breaking your glasses.

For instance, what do you feel when you see someone driving a tomato red car? What conclusions do you draw about that driver? Do you think he or she is energized, a live wire? How does it impress you to walk into a home or an office with walls painted totally in a dark and heavy brown? Depressed, unhappy, hiding out or simply hiding something?

I have always been fascinated with color. It isn’t enough that I feel the need to change the sheets on my bed every week, I simply must change the colors as well. This week I will have the bottom sheet a flowered blue and perhaps a light pink top sheet and the pillow slips? Well, you get the idea. Given a chance I would paint one or more walls in a bedroom pale blue or spring green invoking relaxation and the wonderful renewal of a sound sleep.

One of my other color “addictions” is dinnerware; plates and particularly coffee mugs. I know I own plenty of those mugs but show me one in just the right color and I have got to add it to my collection. Each morning I tend to ponder which mug is perfect for that day’s coffee and that day’s planned activities!

When I decorate any room I am thinking about the feeling I want to create. For instance a kitchen might call for sunshine yellow and any other light hearted mix of colors, a little orange or yellow, any colors that bring out childlike creativity and glee! My living room might call for shades of red to encourage socializing, animated conversation.

If you knew for a certainty that the outcome of your day would be greatly enhanced by your picking the right color from your wardrobe, would you do it? I know many people who are wearing the same color or colors day after day perhaps because of their work environment requirements or simple habit. However, it is important to note that lack of attention to color can cause a day of enormous potential to become one of drab results.

It was not an accident that caused a particular real estate chain to ask their salesman to wear gold jackets. The color encourages respectful attention as well as good communication in general.

If you wake up to start your day feeling “out of sorts” just selecting the right color clothes to wear can truly help. It is amazing what putting on your favorite color blouse or shirt can do to lighten your mood. It can put you into a state of positive expectance, looking for happy little miracles.

When you feel the urge to eat late at night has it ever been triggered by a particularly colorful food advertisement on the television? Was it that hamburger photo revealing red tomatoes, a big slice of shiny orange appearing cheese, green lettuce?

If today’s agenda calls for a lot of intense work, wearing all black may not be the best choice. What color gives you the most concentration and energy? It is a very personal choice but an important one. Taking the time to become more attuned to what any one of the colors does for you personally, what effect it has on you, might be a great benefit.

If you are interacting with specific people for a purpose, consider what you are trying to accomplish and which colors could help you achieve your goal. Do you want to simply attract attention to yourself and your ideas or do you want to create a calmer more receptive atmosphere? Perhaps it is both but in any case the right colors can help.

You can make your very personal “science of color” work for you! It just requires a little experimenting and the desire to make your life events mirror your own special sparkle.

WAITING?

Waiting? Are you waiting? Should you? Many times as a hypnotist as well as a psychic counselor my clients will speak to me of their hopes, their dreams, and their very personal aspirations. Unfortunately just as many times they will offer all the reasons why they cannot pursue their wishes or why they are not willing to attempt to go in search of avenues to create the fulfillment of those desires. Because of their own unsure thinking and lack of courage they find themselves stuck in a holding pattern. Their so called reasons are all seemingly very rational, even realistic, but are they?

Some of those excuses for inaction or as I refer to them “the I will WHEN avoidance tools” include: when the children are grown, when my life isn’t so hectic, when the economy improves, when my mate can be persuaded about my idea, when the weather cools, when I feel safe quitting this horrible job, when I lose weight and look better….. It goes on and on but they are still just excuses for staying stuck, immobile and unhappy.

When a deep seated soul desire continually knocks at your heart, doesn’t it make sense that you should move forward and begin to manifest it? What is it that stymies our ability to move forward? Fear of encountering obstacles, fear of not achieving the desired results, fear of the negative opinions of friends, family, or strangers, fear of being somehow unworthy to reach so high, all of these fears and more can stand in the way of taking that first small action step toward reaching our desires. Believe it or not there are even folks who fear being too successful!

Frequently when I am reading for a client they will ask “just what is my life path?” How can I know if I am “on” it? My answer is that life path can always be found by uncovering and utilizing your own special talents.

Finding those gifts, abilities and talents you were born with and, through that exploration finding your life path, involves listening to the still small voice within your heart, your indwelling spirit. We all arrived on earth, this school of learning, to help and offer love to others but in our own unique personalized ways. The answer to accessing your life path is USE WHAT YOU WERE GIVEN!

When a particular idea haunts you, refusing to let you go, when it fills you with a warm emotional glow every time you entertain it, when it seemingly demands that you cherish it and hold it close, pay attention! No matter how large and overwhelming it seems to bring that desired result fully into your life, the reality is it only requires BEGINNNING. Take one small step at a time. Every day presents an opportunity to move forward to the fulfillment of your deep seated longing.

Write down your ideas, expand on them. Play with your ideas, change the approach till it feels right. Even the act of writing your thoughts, the energy you will use, contains miracle working power.
While the end result is still in the formative stages it is important to realize that many times it is best to hold your idea closely to your heart and not share it with others. However, you can still make a phone call or several calls that are your casual but alert inquiries. Gather information. Check out the online research possibilities.

Take baby steps until you can see your way clearly. Just begin. Nothing will happen till you start building the energy through exploring and making decisions. Create a plan.
Waiting may or may not be appropriate in your own situation but do look at the opportunity to take one small action step every day to bring yourself closer to your most important dreams. We all deserve to have a happy and fulfilled life.

DON’T LET ANYONE OR ANYTHING STOP YOU FROM ACHIEVING THIS: YOUR SOUL’S PURPOSE IN YOUR OWN MIRACULOUS LIFETIME!

GOOD NEWS!

Yes, good news for me and all my clients! My new healing/consulting room is now finished and ready for action. With the help of two of my friends we created a beautiful room with floor to ceiling windows and a fantastic view.

Now if you come for a reading, hypnosis, intuitive lesson or chakra clearing you can enjoy a view of the lake complete with all sorts of birds, ducks and turtles. The flower garden is in full bloom. The bamboo trees are gently swaying.

The whole effect is just what I hoped for. It is calm, peaceful and so relaxing, almost “other worldly”.

2011, YEAR OF MASTERY!

2011, Year of Mastery? I can almost hear you say, “Are you crazy? It was the worst year I can remember. First there were a series of disasters in the world and then at least three or more in my personal life. What kind of ‘mastery’ is that??!!

O.K. I know many of us have seen our dreams dissolve or at least take a startling side track. I realize globally it has been a year of distressing weather. Hundreds of souls left the planet to “go home”. Many of the institutions we had counted on, depended on, simply failed.

On Sunday January 1, 2012 in an attempt to sooth our lives and emotions, perhaps improve our upcoming experiences, many churches and other groups held “burning bowl” ceremonies. The very personal situations that individuals wanted to release from 2011 were written on slips of paper and burned. That is fine but I just have a different point of view.

For me 2011 was a year when magnificent changes in perspective began to appear. People began to accept more responsibility for their own lives. Suddenly it became clear that each of is the architect of our own personal future.

In fact with meditation and perseverance many of us diligently searched and began to find our own answers. We began listening to our own spirits and higher selves. We no longer depended on governments or corporate institutions to think for us. That is what I see as the beginnings of Self Mastery!

Yes, for me 2011 was a beautiful time. I found wonderful new friends. I expanded my healing-teaching practice in ways I had not considered previously. New practical tools for teaching intuitive development came to me. I earned my Clinical Hypnotist certification.

I will always see 2011 as a time of great personal progress. It was a time when I assimilated new ideas, new ways of living. Even in the difficult and “prickly” times, and there were many, I understood the advantages of change no matter how sudden, dramatic and startling.

I do not wish to “burn” any of 2011. Instead I intend to carry the lessons learned and the knowledge acquired into 2012 to be analyzed, understood, incorporated and used in my new year to the best of my ability.

While I am eagerly anticipating what the new year may bring, I remain steadfastly grateful for every one of my experiences of the year just past. At least from my point of view 2011 was indeed a “Master Year”.

THE OLD YEAR IS DYING!

The old year is dying. 2011 is on its way out! The question is: “Will you let it die?” In other words are you willing to release the sometimes unhappy memories of what was or perhaps what was not? Can you let go of any disappointments or any seeming personal failures?

We can say that we made mistakes of one kind or another but really they were not mistakes at all. They were simply CHOICES or DECISIONS. Some of those choices we would not make or repeat today, with the knowledge we now have, but they were only choices. Some worked out well, others did not.

Unfortunately many of us have a tendency to hold on to the hurts or “poor choices” of the past. The result of that clinging on to yesterday’s upsets, misdirection, illnesses, traumas or hurt feelings is a clear and definite repeat of similar situations in the future. It is ultimately quite important to our health and well being to let go, to release, to allow a new beginning for ourselves.

Anytime you would like help with changing some of your persistent thought patterns or habits just give me a call or send me an e-mail. I am here in Sarasota to help you. Hypnosis can make a big difference. Also be aware that I can teach you to use self hypnosis on your own to bolster your new intentions.

Let us begin today to build 2012 into the year of promise, the year of good, better, best! May each of you begin using your power filled energy to dream, imagine and manifest your loving goals for your lives. Send joy and light heartedness out ahead of you to clear the way. See yourself going forward with dynamic intention and powerful energy into your finest year yet.

IT’S A NEW DAY!

NEW BEGINNINGS

Dawn comes. It is a new day. It is a new beginning and a new chance. Whatever you want to change, whatever you want to create for your life. You have the power. The time to start is now.

No need to wait for a new week, a new month or a new year. Start today with this moment, this brand new day. Your future starts now with one small change at a time as you begin manifesting your vision, your dream.

So many times, far too many times, we put off, delay, and postpone our greatest desires until… Until what? Until conditions are perfect? They never will be. Until everyone agrees with our plan? Believe me, you will never get “everyone” to agree on anything. Until conditions are right? Ha! Conditions are always in flux. Putting your life on hold “until” just allows your visions to fade and die.

I encourage all of us to push forward with joy and enthusiasm, taking whatever actions seem right to us. Let us decide to use our highest wisdom, believe in our own Spirit-infused intuitive natures and begin to accomplish our future today.

Yes, New Year’s resolutions are fine but what about the Monday starting the week resolutions? Even better could we perhaps decide to wake every morning with the enthusiastic belief that this very day we can and will accomplish the next step in our life path goals?

I am suggesting that each of us make a plan and hold that plan close in our hearts. Give your ideas the love and energy they deserve. Expect growth, expect blooming. The results will come.
Know that you may encounter opposition from friends and even family.

You may be subjected to unwanted advice. Not everyone will understand or agree with the things you do for your own progress. Nevertheless do not let anything or anyone stop you from acting on your personal truth.

You are the one in charge of shaping your life in the direction it was always intended to go. You are free to be the your very best you. Do not give your precious power away by letting others dictate what is right for you.

Each one of you is unique, special and valuable. Your talents, your skills, your outlook are all your personal gifts and attributes. You are not like anyone else.

Be proud of your individuality and use it for your special brand of service in this earth life.

The actions that each of us takes now are the forerunners of our future. Don’t sit on the sidelines. Give your best self to life today.

“If I ruled the world
Every day would be the first day of Spring
Every heart would have a new song to sing”

Just words from an old song but each of us can put that kind of exciting, expectant, uplifting energy into every day. All we need do is use each moment to give our love and energy to our own unique visions. Then with joy and enthusiasm be ever grateful for the life we all share! The choice is yours. Would you like to have every day the first day of a Spirit-filled Spring? All things are truly possible.

As always I am here in north Sarasota to help support your personal visions with hypnosis for habit change, self-esteem issues, phobias or fears and much more.

HOME IN SARASOTA, FLORIDA!

BACK HOME IN SARASOTA!

After 12 months of work and play in the mountains of Arizona, from Sedona to Tucson and points in between, I am pleased to be home in sunny Sarasota Florida! Since mid-November I have been happily welcoming old and new clients in my north Sarasota studio.

For those who are living here in Sarasota I do not need to recount the charms of the Gulf of Mexico, the beaches and the wonderful art and music community. It is difficult to imagine ever leaving Sarasota again for anything more than a quick trip.

The fulfilling work that I do with clinical hypnosis continues to amaze me with the results. I do not know any other way of creating positive change in a person’s life that is as quick and yet holds the possibility of permanence.

When I work to create change by reconfiguring a client’s ideas and responses through hypnosis, lasting success many times does require more than one hypnotic session; however, it is not a matter of years and years of work to achieve any desired result as is often the case with some more “traditional” methods.

What are your personal goals for the coming year? What changes would you like to make in your life for 2012? New Year’s resolutions are great but it takes more than will power and resolve to change long standing habits and responses. This year do something more definite, more positive. Take an action that will bring the results you desire.

Would you like to enjoy a stronger, healthier body? Your subconscious mind will stand ready to help you with the right deeply planted suggestions through hypnosis. Perhaps you feel the need for more fearless self-confidence. That too can be accomplished with hypnosis.

Any undesirable habit or reaction that has become your personal response can be changed! It can be replaced by a more positive and automatic action. Think about the coming year. Make it much more enjoyable and fulfilling than the year that is passing away. Decide to live the wonderful life you dream and imagine. You can be free and whole in every way!
