Those who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, let them sleep

Those who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of spring water, or take sunset like supper, those who don’t want to change let them sleep… This Love is beyond the study of theology, that old trickery and hypocrisy. If you want to improve your mind that way, sleep on. I’ve given up on my brain. I’ve torn the cloth to shreds and thrown it away. If you’re not completely naked wrap your beautiful robe of words around you and sleep. ~Jellaludin Rumi – 

Gary Leggett, the hypnosis guy who got me to sleep!

Gary Leggett and Andrea

Gary Leggett and Andrea

For a month I’ve been having hypnosis sessions to get me to sleep and keep me asleep, and wanted to turn you on to Gary Leggett, who made it happen. I have ongoing sessions with him for other “re-programming” as well, but this is the link to the mp3, and here’s what Gary says “We all know the aggravation of trying to go to sleep because you need to and you can’t do it. Your mind starts to wonder, you start thinking about the day or what you need to do. Before you know it, an hour has marched by and you’re staring at the ceiling. If you’re like millions of people you’ll reach for a handy sleep aid. Sure it will put you to sleep but does it hang you over the next day? Even though you sleep, are you rested the next day? I wasn’t most of the time.  Over time as I got  better at self hypnosis, I found techniques that would work for me “sometimes” but not all the time, unless I could sit with a professional hypnotist for a session. One day I was reading about something the author discovered that was real good for insomnia. I thought this very interesting since the night before I had experienced very little sleep. I tried the technique with a few improvements of my own and the next thing I knew I woke up hours later. So I tried it again and  it worked again. Now all I can say is I use it all the time.  I put all this info in a nice mp3 audio download called Sleep_NOW. Like my other audio products it’s easy to download and use.”  Gary Leggett  I suggest also scheduling an appointment with Gary to experience his work in person. 

I missed my brother’s birthday

Yesterday was my brother’s birthday. I never think about holidays.  I called him for the first time in months and gave him heck for ignoring me. He didn’t even tell me it was his birthday. I just found out. Now I have to give him heck for that. My planets in fire signs have to give his water signs some steam to keep him cooking.  You’re welcome, bro!

The garage gets organized during the grand water trine

My first job yesterday was to clean out the garage.  I’d let it go for several months. A friend stopped by and gave some game plan suggestions, first determining how many boxes to break down for recycling – all of them!  I moved the mower and car out of the garage and began clearing at the door. There was a box for Goodwill, a box for things going to the shed, and several trash cans which filled quickly. I gathered several plastic shoeboxes to hold small items.  I swept the floor and wiped down surfaces. I saw it was mostly surface clutter that was easily cleared.  I find that’s the thing with clutter and disorganization. It may seem like too big a job to tackle, so I keep putting it off.  Once I finally just do it, I see it was no big deal. Related: Cut the sh*t and do the thing. Continue reading →

Can I pull a tarot card without asking a question?

TAROT QUESTION: I’ve been learning tarot with your workbook, what if I pull a card with no questions asked?
ANSWER: When you don’t ask a question before you pull a card, then you have to figure out what you have been asking the Universe for recently. Only then do you know what is being answered.
QUESTION: How does one figure out what they are asking?
ANSWER: That’s the yoga, the sadhana, we each have to figure out our own question. It’s like all we have to do in life to be successful is find what we love to do and do it. The yoga is in taking the time and making the effort to discover what we love to do. I keep an ongoing list of my questions to the Universe. It’s a good practice.

Life gets good again when you stop lying and gossiping

A client had been on a jealousy/gossip campaign against a friend’s ex and didn’t understand it was affecting other areas of her life.  It’s all related, everything.  You can’t hate your boss and co-workers and expect to find your dream job – it’s all related.  If you watch the news and get aggravated by it, that’s impacting your creation process. If anyone is unlikable and you have an emotional reaction toward them, that impacts your creation process in all areas: finances, career, relationship, health.  Her life had begun crashing down around her by the time she called me, eviction, car trouble, kids sick. I told her that was the good news.  Let the past crumble away into nothingness. Stop starting stuff up each time it dies down, stop feeling offended. Stop lying, it hurts people and comes back to you. I suggested the usual: Start over right now. Forgive, apologize, make amends, cut the cord and get on with her life. The day she did, her life began falling miraculously back into place. She began attracting people who could help her, her gossiping cohorts fell away. She began listening more and talking less. Her relationships changed. Life got joyful.  Amazing how that works, huh? Rumi says, “Tend to your vital heart, and all that you worry about will be resolved. “

The system did not fail Trayvon Martin, that is the system at work. You don’t know the law, so you can’t comment.

I see various organizations demanding Justice for Trayvon Martin, saying “the system failed and we’re out to have justice.”  As a criminal defense paralegal in Florida for 22 years, I know the law and the system did not fail. This is the system at work.  It won’t always be popular.  A friend wrote: “It failed plenty. Many of the facts surrounding this case were not even mentioned at the trial. And GZ’s father is a judge. That speaks volumes.” With all due respect, there are many legal reasons particular info “is not even mentioned at trial” that may defy logic but are legally viable. This is what happens when people get incensed and talk among themselves yet do not know the law. They make themselves crazy – this IS the system. That is why I did not comment as it was ongoing. Unless I heard all the testimony myself, I don’t know what was said. I don’t comment on something based on third party info. If I didn’t hear it myself, I can’t know the truth, period. No one can.
