How Focusing Empowers the Magic of Self Growth

Self-growth requires the energy our focus creates. How we focus our awareness is how we activate our inner resources. When we focus on our thoughts, we activate more thinking. When we focus beyond thinking, we activate the Wisdom of our Body. In sports, that places us in the Zone. In healing, that activates the Wisdom of the Body, the home of powerful inner resources. In whatever we do, that inner wisdom allows us to manifest excellence. We perform better and we heal better;

How I Deal With My Disabilities

The purpose of this article is to help people with disabilities who may be surrounded by loving, quality support identify an emptiness they may experience because they live in a different reality. There is a significant difference between understanding a person and accepting them. To really understand a person, you have to experience what they experience in similar ways. There is a Native American proverb that says to understand a man, you have to walk a mile in his moccasin

Developing the Foundation of Your Dreams

My Dad built houses and I worked for him as I grew up. I learned a valuable lesson watching someone’s dreams manifest; you have to build on a strong foundation for the dream to become a reality. We too often have a goal and forget that how we relate to that goal is an essential ingredient. How we connect to our inner resources is what I call relating to your goal in a conscious way. When you can relate utilizing powerful inner resources, you have a strong foundation. There ar

How the Medical Profession Either Empowers You or Makes You a Victim as You Heal

The medical profession today is an amazing resource in healing. I define a victim as the person who only looks outside for the solutions to their problem. If a person gets excellent medical care and they only look outside, they can become a victim. The empowered patient actively participates with the medical professionals as a partner in the healing process. Both the victim and the empowered patient can have a chronic illness and need medical care. The patient’s participatio

The Patient’s Role in Pres. Obama’s Health Plan

After I studied what the Obama health plan entails, I want to identify an additional important perspective. As president of Life Skills Institute, I have been working with the chronically ill and disabled for over 25 years. The focus of my work is to help people in a health crisis connect to powerful inner resources and play an active role in healing. In the American journal of Medicine, it said the attitude a patient walks into When patients become partners with their docto

In Exercise, Your Mind Matters

The disability of losing the ability to walk can be an incredible motivator or it can lock you into discouraging thoughts. There are 2 paths I found in dealing with disabilities. I could focus on the thoughts and fears of what was happening to me, which would leave me completely discouraged. Or I could be so clear on what I wanted that it forced me to discover new ways to accomplish my goals. MS is a tricky illness. Disabilities can come and go without any logical explanatio

Communicating Wellness Using the Universal Language and the Whole Brain

When people focus on their thinking, they communicate in the cultural way they were conditioned to live in. Their language, habits and values were taught to them by the people they grew up with and they tend to believe that is the correct way to think. If they were taught to go beyond thinking and connect to a deeper inner wisdom, like music or silence, they would be closer to a universal language. What if we were taught to speak a universal language with the intention of sh

What Do You Do When You Don’t Have Choices?

I don’t think there is a situation where you don’t have a choice. If all you do is focus on thinking, it may be that you just haven’t thought about it yet, so your thoughts don’t serve you. When I find myself in that situation, my greatest choice is to focus beyond my thoughts. When most people find themselves in a situation where they think they do not have a choice, they resist or panic. Actually most of our choices are not really choices; they are the expressions of our p

Spirituality and Healing: Discovering the Wisdom of the Body

With two powerful words in the title, I have to start by defining what I mean by spirituality and healing. Let me define spirituality not with words, but with experiential situations. First, in spirituality something greater than your conditioned ego controls your heart. That means your thoughts and past conditioning don’t limit the expression of your heart. Just think of the quality of love shared in a spiritual moment. Your love for the people in your life exists without an

The Benefit of Recession and How It Forces Us To Grow

A recession is an illness our country has and we have to participate in healing it as if we were sick. When dealing with an illness, people have to go beyond their conditioned habits and tap their inner resources to become an active part of the healing process. Our nation, actually the world, is our collective body and we all are but atoms of that body and we are sick. If patients focus on their conditioned ego, they tend to ignore the Wisdom of their Body. Most people just
