Along the way I’ll illustrate how hypnosis and understanding how the conscious mind, unconscious mind and emotions interact to produce failure or success. You can use my experience and apply the same principles to what ever you are hoping to change or accomplish. Here goes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;My story&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;I began smoking in the 7&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I intentionally learned to inhale smoke in the 8&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; grade. I became a full fledged smoker at the ripe old age of 14. I did it because my father smoked. and most adults and a lot of my peers thought it was cool to smoke. By the time I was 18 I was a pack a day smoker. I remained a pack a day smoker more or less until the day I stopped smoking.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Notice I didn’t say “the day I quit smoking”. How you think about what you are removing from your life is important.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The words you use are important. By the time I was 30 I used smoking to help me do a host of things.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I said to people I know:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to wake up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to relax and go to sleep.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to stave off hunger.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to complete a meal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to help me think.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to clear my mind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to calm my nerves &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Garamond; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"&gt;I need a smoke to get up my nerve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;Do you n&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;otice a pattern here? My smoking was hooked to doing and not doing equally well over time.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I used smoking to insulate myself from other people’s emotions. It worked like a fog getting between me and their feelings and dulling my perception of the emotional energy coming at me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was a working psychotherapist by the time I was 25 and I relied on smoking to help me do my work. I believed at that time I needed to insulate myself form other people’s feelings or they would impact me adversely in some way.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Big Insight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;At 35 I had enough information to know that smoking was not conducive to a long life. Conversely I was touting to others I wanted to live to be 92, have good sex at that age and die by heart attack or stroke and ski right out of my body on a sunny day on the mountain. However, in the back of my mind I was saying: “I like smoking. I like the ritual, the sociability with other smokers etc.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;And I’m getting away with it so far. My health is not impaired by smoking. I can still run, jump, ski, without getting too winded. I don’t want to quit until I have to!” Subsequently I stopped smoking three times, from six months to a year each time, until the end of my 49&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Problem&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;I have been adept at self trance since I was 16. I have used hypnosis to help many people stop smoking since I was in my 20’s. With all of these skills I still failed three times. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I set myself up to fail because I was emotionally invested in smoking as long as I wasn’t paying the piper. So that little thought kept me coming back to it until I was 49.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;In that year I began to feel my body changing. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I was going into the conserving part of my life. I began to feel the accumulative effects of smoking on a daily basis. On the last hour of my 49&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; year I sat at the stove chain smoking until &lt;/span&gt;&lt;time hour="0" minute="0"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;Midnight&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/time&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;. I threw away the partial pack I had as the clock struck 12. I was now 50 years old. It was time to be done.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Magic of the Unconscious&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;It took me three weeks to become an ex-smoker after I threw that pack away... The physical withdrawal was intense but manageable for five to seven days. I ate more than usual and gained a few pounds. It was the psychological/emotional withdrawal that was really difficult. And on the 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; day I fell off the wagon and smoked a cigarette. When I quit in the past, I developed a system for cheating. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;It was:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 42pt; tab-stops: list 42.0pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Buy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; a pack myself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 42pt; tab-stops: list 42.0pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Remove&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; one from the pack&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 42pt; tab-stops: list 42.0pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Throw&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; away the pack so as not to be retrievable.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 42pt; tab-stops: list 42.0pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Go&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; somewhere else and smoke the cigarette alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 42pt; tab-stops: list 42.0pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Buy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; a whole pack to smoke one cigarette.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;The first day I cheated and took the first drag was orgasmic. The remainder of the cigarette was good and I smoked the whole thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;Then in my mind I picked up where I left off -being done with smoking. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Notice I didn’t start over. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;This was another important concept I developed along the way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;For me, being a smoker meant that I always felt an ache in my chest, in my bronchials and in my heart center. Sometimes this ache was the unpleasant longing for a smoke. It was also a wonderful ache of the first drag at other times. But the ache was never absent! &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I was twelve years old when my chest was free of that ache. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;I was worried that my chest would always have that ache... The absence of the ache was a hole in my chest which only smoking filled... Nature hates a vacuum and this hole in my chest was no exception. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;So when I cheated that first time it was because I didn’t trust or believe that I could reclaim my twelve year old presence of feeling &lt;b&gt;whole&lt;/b&gt; in my chest... This worried me that I wouldn’t be able to reclaim it, no matter what. I began to worry and &lt;b&gt;longed&lt;/b&gt; for it frequently throughout the day. I dreamed about it in my sleep as well. The longing was intense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;Another week went by and now I was 3 weeks out from my stop date. I was going to the store and again I was overcome by the urge to smoke. I bought the pack. I threw away all except one. I drove to the store up the road. I sat alone in the car and lit up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 6pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 6pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;What Happened&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;That first drag tasted horrible. It felt like I sucked grit into my throat. The ache that occurred in my chest felt bad. Wait a minute. Before I lit up I was feeling no ache in my chest and it was just normal, not a hole, longing for something. I realized that somewhere over the last week my body had remembered how to feel again like it did before I ever became a smoker!! All of a sudden I felt twelve years old again physically.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was a wonderful feeling.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I thanked my Unconscious Mind for the gift it had just given me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;I’m eleven years older now. I know I will never chose to smoke a cigarette again in this life. I go a year or more now before I even notice cigarettes or smoking products in convenience stores &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;How We Work&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;My failure and success hinged on my emotional state. The intense desire to hold on to the accoutrements of smoking until my body started paying the price was the key in the years before I stopped.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The intense longing to remember/feel, the absence of the ache-presence of normal comfort, was the key to being done. Desire is a very important part of achieving your goal. Emotion/desire can be both conscious and unconscious.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Becoming sensitive to all our emotions about the issue is very important. If there is a conflict between what we say we want and what we feel about it our emotion will dominate the outcome. The following points are necessary in successfully changing and accomplishing your goals:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;A consciously chosen goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;A sufficiently intense emotional desire and longing to accomplish the goal .&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;An &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;awareness of conflicting thoughts and/or beliefs regarding the goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;An awareness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt; of the emotions that work against the realization of the goal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;Choosing over and over to long for the goal,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt; speaking the words and thoughts that support that happening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.75in; tab-stops: list .75in; text-indent: -0.25in;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;·&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-size: 7pt; line-height: 200%; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"&gt;Opening yourself to or wondering if you can really have it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Ideally this is a child wondering.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 200%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Garamond;"&gt;It is allowing yourself to wonder and long that allows your unconscious mind to come into play.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It creates the magical transformation or change you are looking for.

&lt;/span&gt;Its symbol is the Trident of Poseidon (or Neptune), the Sea God.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Neptune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;

&lt;/span&gt;For example, someone who owned land and evicted tenants without regard to their personal safety in a past life might create chaos with home and security in this life in order to understand the pain of that sort of experience.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Once we understand, on an emotional level, what we have done, we can seek forgiveness in a way that actually has meaning for us on a visceral level – the level at which transformation occurs.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Pluto and Neptune work together in this way, helping us to equalize and balance our karma. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 6pt 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;The death and resurrection of Christ is a symbol of this process.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He suffered and died, left the physical plane ascended to the spiritual realm, and then returned to the physical plane transmuted.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He entered into the suffering of human experience in order to become compassionate and empathetic, and thus more accessible.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He became more spiritual but also more human – the goal being love and inclusion, rather than judgment and separation.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;On a psychological level, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Neptune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt; represents an attempt to reconcile the challenges intrinsic in the integration of spiritual and material paths.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is highly creative and artistic, striving to create a more perfect world.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;

&lt;/span&gt;From the guilt we carry, our souls tend to create restrictions and unfilled longings that we may remain unconscious of on a personality level for a long time.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Through the process of individuation, and as a karmic group, we can help each other absolve this guilt, forgive ourselves and find other paths that will create more joy.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Neptune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt; provides us with the information we need to learn and what we need to do to lead lives that are more significant for us, rather than to continue running in the ruts of our karmic patterns.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Often this path to redemption creates a victim/savior compulsion, which creates problems, but in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;Neptune&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/place&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;

I have been studying and doing hypnosis since I was 14 years old. I love exploring and turning people on to the amazing unconscious part of them... In this column I will share a plethora of ideas and stories that relate to this topic!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;So let’s jump into the pool with &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;PAST LIFE REGRESSION.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;What the heck is Past Life Regression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;How can it help me in my life?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;People ask this question in various forms all the time. I have lots of answers for them... I think the best way to answer it for you all, my readers, is to take you through an actual past life regression. The person in this story is not an actual client.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I will call her Gloria because I can’t remember the last time I had a client named Gloria. The experiences I am writing about are an amalgam of many of my clients.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Pre-Trance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;I invite Gloria to take a seat in a comfortable chair. It is important for her to relax.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I ask her to close her eyes; I sit within 3 to 5 feet from her so that we can easily speak to each other. I take ten to thirty minutes to explain how the session will work, and answer any questions she has about hypnosis and past life regression. This is to establish good rapport and allay any fears she might have. I explain that I do a process called active trance. After she closes her eyes and she is actively in trance I will ask her to talk to me. My intention is that she feels comfortable with me. This allows me to tailor my responses to her. I then ask her if she is ready to go into trance by saying” “When you are ready to experience this trance you can close your eyes and acknowledge that your eyes are closed. And begin to take 10 or 15 deep sighing breaths, making that nice ahhhh sound as you exhale each time.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Trance Phase&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When I observe that Gloria is in an altered state I ask her to talk to me from her conscious (CNC) mind. I ask her to identify something from her life that she wants to resolve, forgive, change, understand, or transform. Gloria is 44 Years old and has a son from a second marriage that ended over 10 years ago. Her son Jake is 15 and as a result she is ready now to meet her soul mate. The problem is she hasn’t had a long lasting or good relationship all these years since her marriage ended. She would like to know if past life therapy can help her with this. I say “Yes” and I want you to remember now all the relationships you have had over your life, starting with the last one. Let yourself drift back in your mind through whatever memories you unconscious (UNC) mind wants to bring to you.” I have Gloria settle on one of these relationship experiences and tell me something about it. This arouses the emotions attached to the relationship issue/history in her. When I get her to identify the feeling and where in her body she feels it I know she is ready to begin the past life regression itself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Regression&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Gloria drifts back through two marriages, many relationships, to her father. She locks in on her last husband, Joe. She feels anger in her chest. I identify her chest as her heart center and ask her to put either her right or left hand there to anchor the feeling. Now I speak directly to her UNC mind and instruct it to take her back past this life and to the life that is most important in healing and resolving this issue in her life now.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;The Past Life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"&gt;Using her third eye, I lead &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Gloria to find herself in another place and time. I ask her to look down at her feet and tell me what she sees. This leads to a series of Q and A’s that produce the following:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;A description of her sex, age, environment. other people nearby and any action occurring.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;Going back to age 2 years old and working forward through her life story in the following increments&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;2 to 7 years old&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;7 to 10 years old &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;"&gt;10 to her entrance into adult responsibility and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;any ensuing years leading up to when she entered the life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;Gloria sees herself as a man who is dressed much like a medieval Casanova. He has dark hair and eyes, moustache and beard. His gaze is intense and compelling. Gloria senses he feels irritated and this makes her feel anxious. He is about to interact with a woman in the bedroom of a house and she is unaware of his presence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;At 2 years old he is the only boy in a family of 5 children. He is the youngest child and his family is poor. His Mother is over burdened by the demands of her life and has very little time for him. His father is a drinker who is a spotty provider, abusive of his wife and neglectful of his children. He grows up in a house where he is ignored on the one hand and dominated by his sisters on the other.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;At adolescence he develops a pattern of intense sexual relationships with girls with little emotional attachment. When he drinks he can get angry and be physically abusive with women. He moves on whenever the women get too clingy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;His path takes him through a series of events where he works sporadically, gambles, drinks, and drifts and has numerous trysts and affairs in which he takes advantage of the women and moves on. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: black; font-family: Arial;"&gt;This brings him back to the room scene where we began.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We now know he is around 40 and that he is in relationship with this woman in the room.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She is pregnant. He has stayed with her longer than any other woman in his life. He has promised her many times that he will change. He says he will be a better man.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He will not drink to excess.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He will treat her better by not getting angry and abusive, She is the first woman he has really cared about to promise that he would change He fails in his commitment. He has gambling debts and needs to move on. She is pregnant. He leaves her with his unborn child.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Sometime later he learns that she had the child.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was a boy. Both the mother and the baby died of plague when the child was three.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He spends the rest of his life drinking to excess and getting into fights.

As with all archetypes that we collectively create this divine feminine principle is within us all, male and female.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We too have physical bodies which are connected to the sacred earth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;We too have the divine force that is giving birth to acts of love and generosity. We are the divine feminine integrating our spirit and soul as we journey on the sacred earth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;When I welcomed her into my life, my life and my relationship with my inner child was transformed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;In the Arms of my Inner Mother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"&gt;Being nurtured by our Inner Mother is never more important than during the holiday season.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #60400e;"&gt;The holidays are when our Inner Children are really present and engaged.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It is also when they are the most fragile.&amp;nbsp; Our emotions are heightened at this time because of our Inner Children.&amp;nbsp; They are always hoping for something wonderful, magical and new to happen, but they may be disappointed.&amp;nbsp;Many of us have had problematic childhoods.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The holidays tend to escalate whatever abusive prevails.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Our little ones remember and feel the pain of holiday disappointment and neglect.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;One of the things most of us can reliably count on at this time is food or alcohol to be our best friend and deaden those emotions.&amp;nbsp; If your inner child equates food with love, security and nurturing the holidays can be fraught with opportunities to use food. Find out what food represents to your child. Allow your Inner Mother to provide you the love, compassion and nurturing you have always wanted and needed. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Can you feel Her arms around you?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Can you open your heart to Her?&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She is the Mother that will never abandon or reject you.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She knows what you feel and honors those feelings.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;She is the Mother that you have always wanted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;My Inner Mother Saves the Holidays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;As children we were at the mercy of our parents. They were happy, we were happy. If they were not our expectations of magical holidays disappeared.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I remember many Thanksgivings and Christmases being filled with expectations of gifts, candy, family peace and harmony.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was often disappointed.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Peace and love was disrupted by alcoholic outbursts by my stepfather.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Many times my Mother, who loved the holidays, did so much to provide us a beautiful Thanksgiving and Christmas to have them destroyed by her husband.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My little girl remembered all of that and was sad beginning at Thanksgiving.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Her birthday is in the middle between Thanksgiving and Christmas.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Years of this mild depression marred even the best of holidays.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I did not take control of the holidays for her.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I allowed her memories to be in control of me.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I discovered my Inner Mother a few years ago.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Her loving advice to me was to create Christmas for my little girl myself!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I could make sure that she had what she needed and wanted.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I could make sure that she would never be disappointed again, she is no longer at the mercy of others. &lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;She has me and my Inner Mother!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"&gt;Have a blessed and happy Thanksgiving. I would love your holiday stories for my December article.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I would love for you all to create a new holiday ritual with the help of your Inner Mother and share them with us.

Over that time I discovered that my astrological chart was a gift from my Soul. It contained all of the symbols that I needed to discover my reason to be on this earth.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It revealed my spiritual mission.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I learned this by studying my south and north node.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The north node is the point where the moon orbiting its way to the earth's northern hemisphere intercepts the earth's orbit around the Sun. It is a focal point that indicates where new growth is needed. The south node is the point where the moon on its way to earth's southern hemisphere intercepts the earth's orbit intercepts the earth's orbit around the Sun. It is a focal point which indicates what is old. These two points are always opposite to each other. Martin Schulman in his book "Karmic Astrology" states that the nodes are actually points of soul magnetism: the north node pulling toward the future: the south node coming from the past. Of the many symbols present in my chart, the north node provided me the specific information on how my soul wanted to develop...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I Learned to be a Leo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;My north node is in the sign of Leo.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am a sun sign Sagittarius with, I am ashamed to say, many judgments about Leo people.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was appalled when I discovered that my mission was to become one of them.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After some weeping and wailing I surrendered and committed to becoming the best Leo I could be. If my soul wanted that, so be it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I began to develop Leo characteristics: courage, leadership, inspiration, generosity and confidence. I knew that I had needed to be a Leo who inspired others to be the best that they can be.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I needed to be a generous, heart centered leader whose example might help others be courageous and strong.. This was not easy task for my personality... I come from a south node in Aquarius, which means that I am, by nature, a shy, introverted, blend into the background kind of girl.. I began this life with a bias towards introversion and a deep desire to be invisible.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That was my personality’s bias and I learned to alter the beliefs and altitudes that kept me in that place.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;If my soul wanted my personality to transform and express the energy of Leo so that I could fulfill my life’s purpose then I would...&lt;br /&gt;For years I believed that was enough.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It was a struggle and for years I had to literally turn an internal switch to becoming that bright, shining Leo light.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It took a great deal of will, courage and strength.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was often exhausted when I was done performing and I could turn the switch to off.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;For many years I thought that was how it would be.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was not aware that I had only taken the first step to becoming an integrated human being.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I had intellectually become the Leo, but something was still missing – I still did not have the Leo’s heart.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;"&gt;The Voice in the Parking Lots&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Then one day I began hearing my name being spoken in parking lots.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I would be unlocking my car door and a voice would say: “Linda, Linda”.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I would turn and no one would be there.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;It happened for months.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;After months of this, I would just scream WHAT???&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;No answer.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I let it go and when it occurred I ignored it.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Then I began smelling cinnamon – in my car, at work at my school, in stores, places that had no cinnamon. Now I was hearing my name and smelling cinnamon at the same time.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Luckily I was and still am reasonably sane and grounded and I never feared for my mental health.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I knew there was something important happening and that I needed to figure it out.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My husband Michael finally suggested that I do some hypnotic meditations.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I am not an easy subject, but one blessed day it worked and I had a beautiful vision.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was a small child in a castle at Christmas.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I was walking toward a very large throne with a big man dressed in fur, wearing a large gold crown with rubies as big as my little hand.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The castle was decorated with evergreen boughs and smelled like cinnamon!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I ran to him as quick as my little legs would carry me. He picked me up and sat me on his lap.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I buried my head into his furry chest and felt totally protected and safe.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;My heart opened and could feel the power of this gentle giant flowing into me. I began to cry from pure joy.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;He stroked my hair and talked softly to me, calling me his child.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;That was my introduction to my Soul. I was not alone any more!&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;I had found my Leo heart and I was complete.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: blue;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial;
