I am excited to announce that the Thursday Mindshifters Group will be available for people to attend via web-conference on the Zoom platform.  The way it will work is that there will people in attendance in my office and people who choose to join over the internet or phone through the Zoom web-conferencing platform.  The first time we did this, there were two people in the office and four people joining through the web-conference.  There may be quite a few more people joining through the web, as we begin to publicize the availability of this new option.

The format of the Mindshifter Groups is to present some educational material related to the very practical tools that are offered by Dr. Michael Ryce and his wife Jeanie at www.whygain.org, and then to have open discussion before giving people the opportunity to do an actual Reality Management Worksheet/WakeUp Sheet with group support.

The audio, video or lecture material usually takes the first hour of the group, then after a short break for personal convenience, we move into discussion and application of the tools.

I have been hosting the Mindshifters Support Group that meets on Tuesday for over thirteen years, and have been hosting the Thursday Group for four years now.  The focus of these groups is to help people understand how we as people create the stress, and negative emotions, in our lives which create all of our psychological and emotional pain, and difficulties in our relationships.  Once we are armed with the knowledge of how our mind/body energy system works, and get introduced to practical and effective tools to manage that system, we are able to improve our quality of life by the application of those tools.

So, here is the information needed to join the support group through Zoom.us  the requested fee of $10 per session can be paid through PayPal or credit card through my website by Clicking Here

We Come From Love.  We Are Made Of Love. We Are Love.  Everything else is false.

I am thrilled to be able to announce that I am teaching a class at Relax4life this Sunday from 9 am – 4 pm titled “Changing Your Current Reality”. This work is sourced by Dr. Michael Ryce, and Relax4Life.com offers CEU credits for nurses, social workers, counselors, massage therapists, occupational therapists. Visit Relax4life.com for details.

In this class I will teach a very practical, and powerful tool which has been improving the quality of my life for the past 15 years, as I apply it routinely to any negative emotion that arises. 

This tool has allowed me to tolerate difficult relationships, and be a Loving presence rather than dump anger or fear on a person and then run away.  

This tool has helped me dismantle irrational fears, and move through procrastination to be more productive in my life.

This tool has helped me systematically dismantle the anger I used to feel whenever things didn’t go the way I had planned – especially when inanimate objects did not “behave” as I expected them to.

This tool has helped me move through grief that I used to believe was inevitable and never-ending.

This tool has helped me dismantle negative beliefs about myself, which were hidden in my unconscious and only occasionally showed their ugly faces.

If you know someone who could benefit from the content of this class, or who needs CEU credits, and is willing to learn something useful for themselves and others, PLEASE pass this information along.

This tool is so powerful, effective, and accessible that I have donated one night each week for the last 13 years, to lead a support group where I teach this tool, and others.  I have also donated my time one hour each day, five days each week for the past 7.5 years to support and Internet Radio Show which teaches and supports people in using this tool. The results that people achieve by applying this tool are absolutely life changing!

Thanks in advance for your help in promoting this work.

We Come From Love.  We Are Made Of Love. We Are Love. Everything else is false.

I recently found a blog post I did back in January 2009.  In it I listed some of my favorite quotes from the book The Mirror Theory by: Betsy Otter Thompson.  The premise of the book was very difficult for me to accept, and if it had not been for the very high credibility of the person who recommended the book to me, I probably never would have pushed past the premise.  All I can say is that I am very, very glad that I did.  This book ended up being one that I read repeatedly and marked up, and used post-it tabs to find key quotes, like I had never done with a book prior to that time.  Some books just come into my life at the right time, and strike the right chords for me, and this book was the perfect symphony for that turbulent time in my life.

I will share some of those quotes with you again here, just in case they resonate with anyone today.

“Fear is created by refusing to face the truth about our lives. But as soon as we do, fear disappears. It only lives in a soul that refuses to make a decision. To heal is to walk right into whatever we think is paralyzing us.”

“It may seem to you that some people are more gifted than others, but gifts are chosen for the wisdom they offer the soul. … How many gifts you have is not what makes or breaks your journey. How you deal with the ones you have is.”

“Didn’t Jesus’ friends become wise as a result of knowing him? No, they become wise from knowing themselves.”

“Eventually he realized that excellence wasn’t about how well he did something; it was about how well he felt in the doing. As soon as he started loving the process he started loving the continuity.”

“Jealousy gains a foothold
When you lose a grip on
The only solid footing you have –
“Your own tender expression”

“Nothing valuable goes from one person to another, unless that transfer carries love.”

“No Loving gift is ever Truly given unless the giver is Respected in the process!”

“What am I supposed to do with all my garbage history? The first thing you can do is to give it a name with reverence instead of mockery. Call it the love of God in search of self.”

“Then what’s the good of going back to my youth as a means of therapy? The good comes from finding all the good reasons for living it. Hasn’t it gotten you to this moment of greater awareness? And isn’t that worthy of praise?”

“How easy it is to forget that what I perceive as a handicap has been leading me to the true purpose for which I came here to live; how easy it is to forget that I don’t take anything with me when I leave the body behind except for the love I found while in it. And how easy it is to forget that although the picture I experienced was often hard to endure, the inspiration that followed truly changed my life.”

Thanks for reading.  Comments are always welcome.
