 By Rick Reynolds By Rick Reynolds After more than two decades working in hypnosis, transformational coaching, energy work, and spiritual healing, I’ve noticed something fascinating: People approach spirituality in wildly different ways. Some people experience spirituality through intuition. Some through psychology. Some through energy. Some through meditation, prayer, synchronicity, or mystical experiences. Some want structure and certainty. Others want freedom and exploration. And honestly? I’ve had personal experiences I cannot fully explain through logic alone. Moments that felt deeply meaningful. Profound. Even life changing. But over the years, something has become more important to me than trying to prove whether every spiritual experience is objectively “real.” What matters most to me now is this: Does the experience help someone reconnect with themselves in a healthy, grounded, empowering way? Or does it create more fear, dependency, confusion, or disconnection from their ...

  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...

If you’ve started down the road of self improvement, read any books, spent any time in therapy or done just about any work on yourself then you likely already know the importance of loving one’s self.   You’ve likely already heard, that you can’t truly love another until you fully love yourself.   That the emptiness you’re seeking to fill with the love of another first needs to be filled with your own love. If you’ve never read or been told this before, well now you know. If you already know this, are you really doing this?   Most of the clients I work with know full well the value and importance of self love.   They could likely write a blog post all about it.   But many have yet to fully believe they are lovable and as a result are not actually loving themselves or in most cases fear that they don’t truly love themselves. A part of this comes from having two brains,   the Intellectual and the emotional, the left and the righ...

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. Now is the time to set your intentions for 2020 or the entire decade if you wish.   You may want to actually write them down. Studies have shown that written goals are far more likely to be met than the ones we just think to ourselves.   Take a moment before the new year arrives ...

I was just looking at my stats for the year and so far I’ve done 493 coaching sessions.   Most of those calls have been so powerful that  I have  wished you all could hear them.   We’ve had amazing breakthroughs, aha moments, realizations, and healing insights.   I’ve shared techniques and resources again and again that are improving lives.   My coaching slots are nearly full each week and I know my clients could all use more time and there are many that just can’t afford one on one coaching.   I’ve decided to start offering group coaching calls .   Click here to sign up.

Tired of waiting to be happy? The search for perfection and the drive to get things right and the fear of making mistakes are all a part of the toxic thinking that sabotages my clients ability to just enjoy their lives exactly as they are.   Many of us have been taught that if we like our lives   or ourselves as we are then we are settling or compromising.   We have come to believe that being unhappy with the way things are is essential to creating and getting what we want. We are waiting for a time when things are better in order to be happy.   The problem is things rarely improve enough to stop the waiting and we’re postponing our happiness indefinitely.   What if you were to just find life perfect just as it is right here right now?   What if instead of waiting for things to get better you allowed yourself to just be happy now?   Wouldn’t it be easier to make the changes you desire in your life if you were happy?   ...

Is your soul nudging you to explore your past lives?   Is there a lesson you learned in a previous life that you need to remember right now?   Do you have a connection to a person or place or culture that feels deep and profound like it goes beyond this life? Perhaps it’s time to explore your past lives.   You may have heard the often quoted phrase that “those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it”   What if that is true for our own past lives? I’ve put together a little just for fun test to see if you’re being called to explore your past lives. These are simple yes or no questions.   Circle the ones that are a yes then add them up and we’ll see what that means. 1. Have you ever visited a place for the first time, yet felt like you had been there before? 2. Do you have a strong draw to a culture, religion, ethnicity that is not your own? 3. Are there certain foods that absolutely repulse you without any logical reason? ...

Sometimes the most healing moment of a session involves the discovery of anger.   I have worked with thousands of people over the years who claimed to be unable to love themselves.   Who when we started a process said, “I fear I’m not lovable, I worry that I am not enough.”   But when we get back to a wounding moment from their past where someone has treated them as though they were not lovable or not enough their response is not consistent with the response of someone who does not love themselves and believes they are not lovable and not enough. Someone who truly believes they are not lovable, and I’ve worked with many, responds to unloving acts with resignation, grief, pain and sadness but not anger.   They say to themselves or to me, “I deserve to be treated like this, I’m not worthy of being loved, there’s something wrong with me, I’m not good enough to be loved.”   When we get back to one of those painful memories in which someone close to the ...

When you raise your vibration, everything else takes care of itself.   When you’re vibrating with the emotions, thoughts and feelings of joy, love, gratitude, appreciation and excitement life becomes effortless and so many of our problems seem to just take care of themselves or we just don’t define them as problems any more.   But how do you raise your vibration? One of my spiritual teachers, Bashar describes reality as a series of frequencies and that to shift our reality all we need to do is shift the frequency that we are vibrating at.   He says it is like a television with thousands of version of reality being broadcast in every moment and if we don’t like the experience we are tuned into all we need do is change the channel.   There are likely endless ways you can shift your energy and raise your vibration and most of them begin the same way with setting an intention to shift.   Just by intended to vibrate a little higher, you start vibratin...

I started driving a car before I could walk.   At least that’s the way I remember it.   When I was a toddler I would sit between Mommy and Daddy in the front seat of the car in my little booster seat playing with my very own steering wheel.   It was some toy wheel that attached to the dashboard and allowed me to believe that I was driving the car.   I remember it clearly.   I really thought that when I turned the wheel the car turned.   I thought I was really driving. My wise loving parents let me believe this.   They lovingly played along knowing of course my father was really the one driving the car.   I share this story not to show off my freakish ability to remember little things from my early childhood, but because this little story represents my experience of my life from the perspective of my soul and my ego. In this story my ego is the child who thinks he’s in control.   My ego thinks it’s the one driving my life. ...
