June 16, 2019 Inner Peace Through Finding Everything Interesting


We are human sorting machines walking through life putting everything we see hear and experience into baskets, “I like this”, “I don’t like this” “This is good”  “This is bad”.  Once we’ve figured out if something is good or bad or if we like it or don’t like it , we let it go and stop really observing or exploring it further.  What if we took a break from this sorting?  What would happen if instead of good, bad, right, wrong, like, dislike we just found everything to be interesting?

When I’m coaching or taking clients through my Core Belief Transformation process or even in Past Life Regressions and Future Life Progressions I find myself sitting without judgement just finding everything so very interesting.  This allows me to explore anything in a deeper way and begin to find what purpose it may serve and what opportunities might exist to help the client. 

For example, when in a Core Belief session we go back to a traumatic event in a clients life perhaps watching a father explode with rage and become verbally abusive towards his family I could understandably view this as terrible.  But that wouldn’t help the client.  Instead I find it incredibly interesting and with the clients help we explore what’s going on here.  What triggered this fight or flight response?   What is the fear or pain present in this father?  Isn’t it interesting that he’s turned his happiness and ability to be at peace over to his five year old daughter.  This sort of exploration often reveals truths the client had never considered before and slowly the lie that this fathers out burst had to do with the clients being unlovable, not worthy or not enough begins to melt away.

When we find something interesting, we can take a closer look and find the gift or blessing in any situation.  If we label it as awful, evil, despicable it is very difficult to pull it in close enough to really observe.  It’s like seeing an object on the sidewalk, once you’ve labeled it as dog poop you’re not going to touch it.  But if you find it interesting you might pick it up and pull it apart and find the diamond ring the dog had swallowed. 

I use this same “Isn’t this Interesting” view in my own life and it helps me avoid thoughts that are toxic to my happiness that come from judgements.  When I start thinking the “isn’t it awful” thoughts it’s really hard to stay in happiness, joy, love and gratitude.  If instead I’m finding it interesting I can usually stay in those higher vibrating emotional states.  

For example: if I wave at a friend, and he doesn’t wave back, I can find it interesting.  In that state of curiosity without judgement I’m more apt to make sure the friend actually saw me and to engage the friend in a conversation of discovery.  If I’m in the “isn’t this awful” mind set, I’ll start asking myself what I’ve done to cause this and before you know it I’m down a rabbit hole of negative self talk and story making that takes me away from my happiness and probably isn’t true at all. 

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is just for the next few hours, try finding everything interesting.  First off, you may be surprised by your constant desire to judge and sort your reality into the good and bad baskets.  Soon you will come to see how fascinating your world really is and you may discover the diamonds hidden all around you.  Let me know what happens.

Is Vortex Energy Real? A Soul Guide’s Honest Take After 30 Years in Sedona

  I first came to Sedona in 1990, long before it became a spiritual buzzword. Back then, the red rocks called to me the way a waterfall does—something bigger, older, and wiser than words. Locals spoke about “vortexes” the way you’d talk about the wind. Not to impress anyone. Just to point toward something you could feel . They told me the shape and mineral makeup of the land caused the Earth’s natural magnetic and electric energy to swirl in these places. Not in a spooky way—just like tuning forks or resonant chambers. If you were out of alignment, you might feel it like a jolt or a rush. But if you were in tune with the frequency? You’d just feel still. Like peace had pulled up a chair. Over the years, I’ve seen thousands come here searching for clarity, healing, release, or just a reason to breathe deeper. And while science has yet to “prove” vortexes are real, I’ve also never seen a peer-reviewed study on love. Doesn’t mean it’s not real. I’m not here to convince anyone. I’m...

The 20's Could Be Your Best Decade Yet

What do you want to create in your life over the next 10 years?   Are you in search of more love, more abundance, more fun, more adventure, enlightenment?   What holds you back?   Have you chosen your theme for 2020 yet?   "2020 is my year of _____" .   It all begins with setting intentions.Here in Sedona we start every Soul Adventure with a Powerful Intention and light a candle.   When our clients get real about what they’re intending to create by their experience in Sedona the magic begins.   By the time we see them on their last day most have not only achieved their intended goals but surpassed them and surprised themselves along the way.

June 23, 2019 Judgments are Toxic to the love joy and happiness in your life.

Whenever I tell myself anything should be different than it is or think that someone shouldn’t be the way they are. I will feel pain.   Resistance equals pain and when I resist what is I hurt.   So often I find my clients and sometimes myself habitually in a loop of resistance and negativity.   It’s like drinking poison and waiting for the person I’m judging to get sick. It doesn’t work and the more poison I swallow or the more I resist what is the sicker I get.   So why is it that we choose such a failed strategy over and over again?   I think there may be something addictive about the pain and suffering that comes from resistance. My grandfather used to say “It’s not what happens to you in life, it’s what you do with what happens to you that counts.”   My parents like to say that “the world is fundamentally neutral and that our judgements determine how we feel and perceive everything.’ The moment I say “You shouldn’t be that way!” ...
