You have the answers to all your "problems"

I believe we hold, in our physical and emotional bodies, every experience we have encountered, whether real or imagined. We began collecting these experiences before we even had conscious memories. We watched the important people in our lives and mimicked their way of being in the world so that we could “earn” their love and acceptance. We blindly took their way of being as our truth.

The great news is that our true Self or Spirit has been with us all along just hoping we will stop running around and distracting ourselves and listen for the clear and calm voice of our authentic truth. But, there are a lot of stimuli in the world today and this confuses our internal signals. We play an internal game of tug of war trying to figure out how to be accepted and please/impress others and be true to ourselves. Most of the time, in the end, we sacrifice ourselves because our fears are so great.

All this fumbling around and trying to fit in takes a lot of emotional and mental time and energy. Our coping strategies just end up keeping our fears at bay. We live life defending ourselves against potential rejection. This constant defense position takes its toll on all aspects of our being through the creation of critical/negative thoughts, physical pain and emotional chaos. We are merely "maintaining" and not fully living.

I know we have the answers to all our internal struggles. I help people to stop simply existing and to start trusting themselves enough to create and maintain living from their true Self. Mostly this is achieved through a change in the way you perceive yourself and your surroundings. We move from feeling fearful and reactive to feeling empowered, secure and confident. I use mindfulness awareness and many Eastern spirituality practices (see Methods and Practices) to assist this change in perspective.

We can't control the world, but we can control how we react to the world. The key to happiness is in how you see yourself and the world, and that is something only you can control. I can help you clear away the mind chatter and false beliefs about yourself and rediscover your true Self.
