Forging ahead with/out fear

Dolores Cannon, the beloved developer of Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique, said that fear has no place in the New Earth. Today I took a step toward letting go of my lifelong fears by doing something completely different (thank you, Monty Python!).

I've just spent 5.5 hours working as a member of the event staff at the Bryce Jordan Center in the Penn State campus in State College. Comedian John Mulaney headlined the show. I was a part of the crew that provided a cell phone-free experience to the audience. 

I'd never done anything like it before. From answering the ad on Craigslist to signing up online to gathering with others--at the wrong place--at the BJC before the event, it was all new to me. I was one of the people manning the tables just inside one of the entrances. I had a tote bag of pouches in front of me and I crammed people's cell phones and smart watches in there, sealed the pouch, and gave it back to them. When the show was over, I was outside with the others, carrying an unlocking device, and I helped unseal people's pouches for them. They took their electronics and left the pouches in bins.

It doesn't sound like much, but I've always been afraid of anything new. Parking for the event was stressful, too. I've never driven to the university by myself and parked and gone to a venue by myself. I don't get out much. Also, interacting with many wonderful people was great! Again, I don't get out much, and I tend to keep to myself. Providing a simple service to people who have come to a large venue to enjoy themselves felt amazingly rewarding. 

Nevertheless, as I was counting pouches and packing them neatly into tote bags after the show ("Sixty in each! Thirty in the bottom, thirty on the top!"), I realized I didn't have to do it another time. Now I knew what it was like. Other people in the group were veterans, and I was paired with one before the show. However, I don't think I'll do it again. Well, maybe when it's warmer.

      Well done! Experiences like that one can be very rewarding when they give you a fair chance to overcome fear etc. And actually make you feel good after that new strange task is completed successfully.

Disappointing past lives

Some people come to me to get a QHHT session for the express purpose of discovering their past lives. It's not always a blessing to know them, however. Some lives can be brutally traumatic, there are fortunate periods in some, but often lives are mundane and boring. My guides recently told me I've been incarnating on this planet since the time of Lemuria, and that I've also lived on Atlantis. I know nothing of those lives. I do know more about my lives within the past 2,000 years.  One of those lives was as a Chinese emperor's wife. I've been a member of a harem in at least three different lives, and the Chinese one was an honorable one, albeit boring. My parents sold me to the emperor's agents, I was brought up to the palace, but I never saw the emperor. Instead, I lived my life as a low-level servant, sweeping the hallways and rooms in the imperial theater. I saw beautiful, fancily costumed women daily. They had elaborate rituals before their performances, the

A dream of life on another planet

It's funny how most people in the "civilized" Western world tend to think intelligent life exists only on Earth and that our physical reality is all there is and that we only live once. It's funny, but it's also a burden when you think otherwise and you don't fit in. I had a realistic dream decades ago where I was living with a group of people on a very inhospitable planet. The days were hot as hell and the nights were dangerously cold, just like in an Earth desert environment, but ten times more extreme. We lived in a huge stone structure. The stone blocks the building was made of were easily 12 ft long and 9 ft wide. This was necessary to keep the living beings inside comfortable. You see, when the planet's sun was up, it would fry everything on the ground. A normal Earth stick-construction house would've almost caught fire. However, the stone blocks acted as effective insulation. Because of their thickness, the heat from the outside would seep into

Imaginary chicken dinner

You have to meet people where they are. This also applies in senior care.  People with Alzheimer's or other dementia issues live in their own worlds. Some people relive events from their distant past or they are hallucinating and you have to play along or you might upset them. Family members often don't want to play along because they have a hard time accepting their loved ones aren't the same people they used to be.  Client: Oh, look at that clown on the other side of the street! Me: Wow! Nice flaming hair! Client's daughter: There's no clown there, Dad! Client: You need new glasses or something? Of course, it's frustrating when the client tells me to go away, that I'm not supposed to be in their house, and no matter how many times I explain I'm with the agency that helps them, they won't remember or accept me. Short-term memory goes first for the majority of people. The most frustrating thing for me is when their grown kids walk through the door an
