I took your Past Life Regression class last Tuesday, 8/27 and wanted to say Thanks!

A few months ago I had an unpleasant job experience and chose to leave the company. As it usually turns out, this situation was a blessing. I was forced to re-examine my career choice as well as other areas of my life. Over the past few months I’ve had many revelations and self-discoveries. However, all this new information can be overwhelming and cause anxiety. (Along with people saying “What! You quit your job in this economy?”).

The night after taking your class, I had a splitting headache probably caused by anxiety. I decided to try your relaxation technique you taught us to see what I could do about this. I went to my couch, got into a comfortable position and began to put myself into a deep state of relaxation. I then began to ask myself to picture a great career option. I tried to talk to myself as you had done in our class – very encouraging and gentle.

When I opened my eyes I was amazed that over an hour had gone by. Even more amazing was that my headache was completely gone and I came up with a creative career possibility. I feel that your class expanded my mind and opened up a new door for me.

Also, my goal is to live more in harmony with my soul. I was on a spiritual path even before my job crisis and always try to remain open to new possibilities. My lesson in the first regression during class was to let other people into my life to help me more. And there you were doing just that! Isn’t it amazing how the universe gives us what we need at just the right time? I love synchronicity!

So again, thank you very very much for your inspiration……..

P.S. I read your touching story “In the Name of Mother”. My Mother also died 7 years ago of Hepatitis C and Cancer (lymphoma). A quote came to mind that I hadn’t thought of in awhile: “Youth fades, love droops, the leaves of friendship may fall, a Mother’s love outlives them all.”

I wanted to send a quick email to let you know that I took your stop smoking class at the Discovery Center January 12. Yesterday marked 21 days of being smoke free! Just to give you a little insight. I was going on 21 years of smoking (I started as a teenager) and logically, I knew I needed to quit. However, I loved smoking so much that I did not think I was emotionally ready. About two minutes before your class, I stood outside finishing (actually relishing) a cigarette, talking on the phone to a friend. My friend rattled off 15 reasons why I should hate smoking. My friend was trying to be helpful, but I could feel my anger rising. I told her the worst thing you can do to a smoker is try to bully them into quitting; we just get defensive! I told her the best I could hope for from your class was that you might be able to help me WANT to quit. Before your stop smoking class I had no true interest in quitting. But after that night’s class, something magical happened! I walked out a non-smoker and have never looked back. It’s so weird—I have never not wanted to smoke. I know it’s only been 21 days, but what is different is that I have absolutely no interest in smoking. I barely recognize myself. I have been sharing my success story with anybody that may be inspired to change.
