Turtle’s Message
In the hypnotherapy business I seldom receive clients who are exactly where they want to be in their lives. Rather, they come to change something making them unhappy. It is really part of the human condition to want to improve. Even as we hear the saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it,” we are thinking that what that really means is we are denying that something desperately needs to be fixed.

There is a look, a moment captured on the face of a client, when I know there has been a break though and healing.

It is the nature of Mother Earth to draw substances into herself and to push them back up again. With winter’s freeze and spring’s thaw farmers will tell you that they could pick rocks all day long in their fields and the next spring, a new crop will have been unearthed. And yet, there are continents, civilizations, we are told, that have sunk into the sea or been buried by the sands of the ages. The summer I lived on a Greek island there was an excavation site along the donkey path I used every day to get to...
Read MoreSome Thoughts About the WooWoo Stuff
As I’ve been spending more time with my almost-seven year old granddaughter, I’ve been talking a lot about faeries with her. I’m used to talking to adults about hard-to-believe in stuff like faeries, UFOs, ghosts, spirit guides from a point of view of anything is possible and there is so much we just don’t know. But with this little girl, this little literalist wanting to know if we are playing a game here or what? It get’s more dicey. A voice in my head is insisting on an answer to the question, “Hey...
