As the week began to unfold, I was unsure about the direction as that I was being led down a path of uncertainty.
I enjoy what I can and do offer to my world around me and wouldn't change the opportunities to interact and make a positive effect on another living being.

The uncertainty came as I began to find my thoughts to enter into a negative vibration..  This is to say that my thoughts were creating a reality separate from what I intended.

Sometimes when we venture out to help other people in despair, we attach to the things that give us a common interest and then tailor that interest and mold it to fit into our common understanding of each other.

However sometimes we (I) allow myself to be led in a direction; even if for a common thread and begin pulling back to find a more positive slant in my own understanding.  This can be very devastating if left unchecked.

So Monday comes along and I was still in the fringes of last week, which while very joyous, was wrought with some stinging conclusions that I had not yet dealt with personally.  

After first realizing my source separation, it was easy to pull back that extended thread and begin restringing it with the intended and desired positive energy.

When I begin to entangle myself in another's issues, it can be easy to load myself down until such time as to process this into myself to find alignment with it.

Today as I reflect upon what it was that kept me in that kept out of my normal sorts, I received a phone call from my little brother.  It is always a sobering reality when I focus upon our differences in our thoughts and processes.  

I have come to expect nothing less than his eternal friendship and brotherhood.  But there is another thing that I receive from him..  He is warm and excepting of new ideas and suggestions and always has a way of imparting (even if unknown by him) his loving energy onto me.

When I realized that it wasn't out of obligation or expectation, it was imparted as a reflection of who he is..

Now, knowing this makes it easier to understand.   I am doing what comes naturally to me in speaking as a therapist to people every day.  Sometimes the therapy for me is in just being 'me' with a friend and loving friend.  Sometimes this takes the form of someone so different - to understand our similarities.  

After entering a meditation and letting go of this thread and pushing forward with a new week allowed me to see my path clearer and with a new found resolve.  I can listen and detach with separation so far from myself as to get lost.  Keep focused on what is most important - being positive and uplifting and not surrendering my higher power.

I thank god and myself for being who and what I am - myself.

I have been challenged to help a young gentleman that I met a few weeks ago while walking a Scottsdale Pond in Novato.  This is a place that I frequent daily as my chosen meditation spot.

He was sitting on a park bench and had a look of desperation that was obvious from a distance as that it radiated from him and was palpable from my emphatic side.

After seeking out a reason to engage him in conversation, I was shocked at his response to me which seemed to me be someone who needed a friend.  I have never been one to pass on a challenge.  This, I knew immediately to be one of the most challenging and therefore the most inviting of lives to engage.   

He spoke freely to me as if he had known me forever - perhaps in my mind's eye, he had.

I asked Carlos if he had eaten today, I was not surprised when he stated that he had not.  We headed to a nearby chinese buffet restaurant and ate our lunch.  We didn't speak much during this time but we began to communicate on a level unbeknownst to my new friend.

After eating, we headed to a quiet place in the park where the story began to unfold and flowed from Carlos with the trust and understanding as well as a new interest by Carlos to discover why I was appearing in his life when he had so fervently asked god for an angel.  Not surprised by his question, I responded simply that I understand his plight and that I offer my assistance to see how I can help.

He is a very bright, and happy spirit at heart who has been misunderstood and ostracised by his family.  He stated that he had been involved with the wrong people who steared in  the wrong direction and now he is seeking the path to correct the pattern that had been established.  Carlos is certain that I can help.  I am certain - he needs to help himself - but needs a lending hand in assisting him to find that new course.

I has been almost three weeks since our introduction in the park and now we have begun a path of correction - with deliberate success.

Last night after having a long and productive day with his dad and with Carlos, Carlos retired to his Dad's home where he rests his head in comfort and has a meal awaiting him each morning.  He also (with his dad) has begun meditation and is now on a path of Allowing those deep seeking prayers for help to transform into eager allowing of the prayers to be answered.  I stated to him in terms he would understand that the time for praying; ie asking has ended and that the answer to his prayers are now in sight...  Look for the obvious answers.

As a bonus to our encounter has been a renewed sense of joy when last evening before ending our day, Carlos told me something that really renewed my understanding of my role in this life as a counselor..  He stated to me this:

"Rico, I like what you have done for me, you cared...  I want to do what you do."

I smiled and returned the sentiment in saying:  "You are a Great man Carlos"  Something that I state to him over and over again until finally he stated and recognizes his own greatness.

I now have a great new family of friends with whom I communicate as a way of lending counsel - which is to say, I reflect back that which they cant see or articulate.  

I thank god for Carlos - a great man who has inspired something even greater in me than I had realized myself.  Being myself, and living in the spirit of the Law of Attraction and being a voice of that same spirit has opened a new reality in my own path of discovery...  Thank you Carlos.

There is no wrong to live your life;  but...  there is a way to make it happier and more fullfilling.

Each day we rehearse our lives in the things that we repeat to ourselves over and over throughout out daily lives.
So many times we rehearse the things that bring us agony and despair,  we forget the things that have brought us to this day..  the good things in life that made today possible.

Each time that we state or repeat these negative vibrations in our daily words, we reinforce the negative things that keep in a perpetual state of disease.

We tell ourselves as by right "I cant do this", or I dont want this or that..  A better way stated would be "I have a new challenge to face today..  How great it will be"  or "I know that this perceived problem is only temporary - It always gets better", or "I have never faced this before - What is the best way for me to tackle this new issue?"

As a hypnotherapist, I witness these statements which I hear flowing as easily as water down a mountain.  We repeat our errors becasue they are all that we perceive as reality.  The true reality is that we create our reality with every single thought that we allow to flow unchecked.  

Watch the words that flow from your own mouth and guard your every thought thought against sabotage.


Give this a try and witness how things begin to transform in your life - notice how others notice your new found supportive ally that you will have with you to help guide your better reality about your life.

I have been wrestling with what I would have to characterize as a change in direction.  As a man who always aattempts to see things from the end, I am asking new questions.
My primary question to myself is: What do you WANT to do that will sustain you holistically.  

I am really satified when I am helping other people - since working as an EMT or offering my direct services as a Hypnotherapist.  My vocation is to serve others.

Today I especially needed a little tuning.  I visited Scottsdale Pond in Novato.  Here I am watching the pelicans swimming together.  Some are paired and some are a larger group.  I am imagining the unison with which they seem to drift along the current.   They are so peaceful and relaxing to watch as they carry on with their daily lives.

Hypnosis is a state of mind that can be entered into at any time with very little effort and be sustained to effect a more directed thought process for an any task put to hand.
By first entering into a light trance-like state before undertaking a new process, it is much more effective if first you meditate on the action and "see it through to completion - first in your mind, then in action.

The great thing about the mind is that it doesn't know the difference between that whcih is is real and that which is created in your mind.  There is no difference to the unconcious mind - It simply accepts whatever you tell it.  By surrending the "critical factor" you can quickly take out the questions and replace them with visual answers.

No more than 15 minutes of a deep relaxing hypnosis session is needed to effect changes never before thought possible.
