When I was very small, I was told to choose something and to explain why I had chosen it. In those early years, I learned to have an opinion. As I grew up, I discovered that I had the ability to build more and more opinions about absolutely everything. In time, I was the voice of authority about anything that anyone wanted to talk about! Of course, my opinion was only valid as far as my point of view was concerned. Yet, inspite of this, I had also been taught that everyone else was supposed to have the same or almost the same opinion.
Well, school taught me otherwise. No one seemed to see the world with the same ideas that I had. People argued about their ideas. I watched and learned. Debates, arguments, discussions; call it what you will, no one seemed to have an exact opinion. With this realization, I began to question why I had to have an opinion in the first place? Whose idea was it that taught me to make opinions.
Looking back, it was my grandma who really pointed out that I was allowed to choose for myself. Everytime she told me to do something, she always followed her instructions with a question. "Do you know what to do?" This forced me to think and to decide. Perhaps my childish ideas were wrong, but in my mind they were absolute then.
Now, in what is called the aged years of my life, I can see that the billions of opinions I have passed through, where I rationalized, excused and justified and explained my opinions was nothing more than an opportunity to understand the power of my mind and the ability to think for myself. So, who cares what I think. Only my innerself bothers and even then, perhaps in a few days, I may not remember that my opinion today was important to me.
Our conscious mind is a liar and a cheat. It muddles up all our opinions and blows them out of proportion. Issues rise and fall as does our fastidious behaviors. In the end all that matters is that we have the ability to think and learn. Only then can we understand that it is our Spirit-Self that in neutral and loving.

Hypnosis
While teaching my hypnosis course, I realised that time had passed and I had not entered my comments on this blog. At that point, I knew I needed to write about how often our minds drift into daydreams or loose focus as our brain switches on and off throughout the day.
Yes, those moments are hypnotic moments during which time you can give yourself and new idea, which in turn can give you a new belief that you can do something better with your life.
So, next time you feel spaced out, take a deep breath and tell yourself something positive such as "I can do anything!" or, "I am an inventor and very creative."
Whatever you have been telling yourself in moment of crisis may well have been hypnotic suggestions to be negative. If you repeat the same sentence more than 21 times you will convince yourself that the original hypnotic suggestion is correct. Sentences such as "I am sick and tired of you." will eventually become "I want a divorce." So, if you want to heal yourself or your relationships, you need to rethink the way you phrase things and to repeat positive sentences to yourself aloud. Say it with emotional feeling and in the midst of an important moment where you mind is open and receptive to change.
The longer you live, the more excuses you make. So, clean the slate now - wipe away negative suggestions. Replace them with visions and enthusiasm.

What You Think Is Not Necessarily What Others Think!
Over the years, I have on many occasions, assumed that what I am thinking and talking about was being fully seen and understood by the person I was talking too. Since they were nodding their head in agreement and saying "I know what you mean!" Or, "I understand!" I felt confident that anything we were talking about would be exactly understood and if necessary that person would follow through on directions, promises and statements.
Wrong! Actually, an agreement made is only a perception in the moment. What may seem wonderful one second, may well turn out to be a bad idea later for any two people chatting away.
I often heard people offering to help me do my work. I accepted their offer gracefully and gratefully, but when I called to ask for help, there was none. They had decided to do something else. What a let down!! Not to them!
Of course, our lives change with every single influence that crosses our mind. Since our minds are very adaptable and free-flowing with loads of ideas, it is small wonder that we forget our promises or regret them later when too much is happening.
The saying that "The Road To Heaven Is Paved With Good Intentions," is certainly true, not just for others, but for ourselves too. I have made it a title sentence to outline the importance of realizing that what we say is not necessarily true for our mind. So before you make a promise or an offer, think everything through over the next twenty-four hours.
What we see in our minds is a load of pictures during our conversations; those pictures will change over the coming night as you dream and dump many of the things you talked about. However, some good images do get through, and those drive you on towards positive actions.
Clarity of mind is clarity of vision. Understanding comes as you do things.

Do You Know Your Baby's Spirit?
The Aquarian Age is finally truly started as of the ending of the Piscean Age on 9-9-2007. Now here we are dealing with a new outlook on life. Our Minds are adapting rapidly to all the new technology and ways of communicating.
Born into this Age are the Hero, Star, Indigo, Crystal, and Liquid Crystal Children who are about to prove themselves ready and able in showing us old Pisceans a new way to look at life. Our old ideas and attitudes won't work with them. We were under the influence of Archangel Michael. These new kids are influenced by Archangel Haniel. So, heads up mums! You need a different attitude and ways to have a different point of view when connecting with your child.
In my new book: Discover Your Baby's Spirit, I write about how the spirit of each child must bond with the spirit of the mother before conception, then how this bonding becomes actual during pregnancy, the birth and subsequent years of growth. Plenty of advice is given on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
Every mother has to find her own way to work with her child to bring out the best in him/her. It was my intention to help existing moms, and mothers-to-be to do the right thing by their child and for themselves.
If you know someone who wants to have or is having a baby, then please let them know about this book. Discover Your Baby's Spirit - A Mothers Guide is on sale from the publishers www.authourhouse.com. It is offered in hard, soft and e-book format. It will be on http://www.amazon.com/ soon too!

Every moment is precious
When I was young, carefree and innocent, I explored everything I could. As I got older I was conditioned by my peers and elders to be cautious. Suddenly, my mind was filled with suspicion and doubt. By the time I was sixteen I had become completely conditioned to believe that this world was a very scary place and that there was nothing that was completely safe. There were no precious moments anymore!
Consequently, I spent the next thirty years in fear. Then suddenly, all those negative things that had happened to me seemed to transform into a new understanding. I found out that what appeared to be scary was in fact a lesson in growing up. Yes, at the grand age of 46, I finally became an adult.
So, what was my idea of an adult? Someone who was capable, responsible and ready to stand alone. But, since I had no idea what standing alone meant to me, I spent the next 20 years finding out. Now, I know!
It means being like I was as a young child, but with a difference. Now my mind is just as curious, in fact, perhaps much more so. Learning is easy, once I find I am interested in discovering something. I learn what I feel about those things and slowly, perhaps in different ways, I experiment. Little by little, I now know I am a genious in my own way. It does not matter anymore what others think that is, or how I show and tell what I know. All that matters to me is that I know.
Now comes the big lesson! Being able to be myself, explore and not be influenced by any demands, expectations or hopes that I may create. Self discipline means doing things at the right time, in the right way to please myself. Daily, I find a new way to do that. So, inspite of others, I get along fine.
One problems still remains: how to fit my personal schedule into the ways of the world! Perhaps some may call me selfish, but I like to call it spiritually aware and in touch with the divine source that is in all of us. So, if someone needs me, I know that and I am there for them. Others, well they may ask, but I know they can cope without me. So, I bless them and let them go.
Perhaps you life is filled with people demanding you be what they want you to be. Take time to find yourself! Have some precious moments now! Tomorrow is too late!

I can, but I can't!
What a dilemna to be able to say both yes and no at the same time! The conscious mind is a liar and a cheat! I said that over 35 years ago and it stil holds true. By the time you have had an idea, thought about it, rationalized how your original idea can be brought into form, you have easily advised yourself to not follow through, or you have gingerly told yourself to do it with great caution.
So, who taught you to listen to your conscious mind? Was it mum? Dad? A teacher or friend in school? Whoever it was, I am sure you never thought just how much you had allowed them to influence you to believe what you now think to be your own ideas.
Actually, nothing we have learned in our lives is completely and utterly our own idea. When we are born we have no knowledge of words or how to phrase things in certain ways to have a profound affect on us. It is simply our emotional response to others that causes us to believe what we hear. So, what did you hear all those years ago and what do you still cling to that is controlling you and preventing you from adapting, changing and growing?
Your deep-subconscious mind is your personal Spirit Mind that originally informed you in sensations that you have arrived in a body. It was this part of yourself that taught you to listen, feel, hear and see. So why not listen to the wisest part of yourself that is still struggling to break through your conscious mind. All it takes is listening to those five senses and following your feelings just like you did when you were born!
To touch, enjoy every sensation is to learn and learning is simply a way of spiritually growing. This is a time of change and maybe you need to get a new career, break away from old family traditions and seek new horizons, even if it is only in the next street.
Your old mental photos are just that - old moments that no longer are important! Get your mental camera out and take some new shots of what is around you.
