Welcome |
Funny how we moan
about the weather. We live in Canada, and in the winter
it is cold. It just is. And yet we whine if it's too
cold, too warm and no snow, grey sky, strong winds,
freezing rain, temperatures below zero. We complain, but
we choose to live, love and work here. So I wonder what
else we choose that we complain about.
|
 |
The truth is, some
things just ARE. And there's not much you can do about it.
Rain is wet. Chocolate is addictive. Relationships need
attention. Taxes need to be paid. Cats spread fur. And
children spread goo around like they invented it.
But
what we can do is understand that we choose to be there, where
all these reasons to complain take place. We choose to put our
mind and body into these places and situations that cause
complaint. So maybe we can choose not to complain?
How
about we make March "Acceptance Month"? Hey, there's a month
for everything else...why not a month where we accept what we
have chosen, with grace and gratitude? I'm going to see how it
works for me and report back to you. Let me know how you do...
and we'll run a report in a future LifeChanger. And we'll give
a prize for the best story!
Namaste,
Georgina

| What Fish Bowl Do You Live In? |
| by Dr. Georgina
Cannon | |
|
|
We are what we think
All that we are
arises
With our thoughts.
With our thoughts,
We
make our world.
The
Buddha
Everything starts with a thought.
When we are very young, we learn about ourselves
and the world around us by the input we receive, both
verbally and non-verbally. This information goes into
our subconscious mind, unedited.
If, from the
moment you were born, you learned that people who had
freckles were smarter than those who didn't -- your
parents behaved that way, the school behaved that way,
and occasionally you heard disparaging remarks about
"unfreckled people" -- you would take it for granted,
unquestionably, as the truth. And it would become your
truth. That truth would become your belief, your
thought, your behaviour and the actions that controlled
your life.
Translate that into some of the
things your parents or your environment really suggested
to you as a child. Finding these things isn't always
easy. Our truths are often invisible. Like fish in
water, we often don't know we inhabit a space until
we're taken out of it.
Do any of these ring true
for you?
- If you don't put on a coat you'll catch a cold.
- If you work hard you'll be successful.
- Women aren't good at math.
- You are what you do.
- You're not as smart as your brother/sister, but
you're very kind.
- An artist never makes enough money to live on
- If you can't do a thing well, don't do it at all.
That last one really rankles me. I've always
loved music and always wanted to sing. But since the
time I could open my mouth to make sound, I was told in
no uncertain terms that I was tone deaf, just like my
father, and shouldn't sing.
Even at school, when
I asked to go into the grade 2 school choir, I was told
that if I wanted to be in the choir, I would have to
stand at the back and just open and close my mouth
without making a sound. How's that for building strong
self-esteem? By the way, I've also heard of a
kindergarten school choir that was divided into Larks
and Crows. Someone wasn't thinking straight there!
One day a few years ago, while singing along to
the Mamas and the Papas in the car -- with no one to
hear me -- I realized how much I really do love to sing.
Maybe I could learn how!
I looked around for a
voice coach, and with great trepidation, made an
appointment. Three weeks later I was sitting opposite a
smile so warm that it didn't feel too threatening to let
her hear my voice. From out of the depths of the past
came a song I thought I'd forgotten, the Skye Boat Song.
"Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the
wing..."
My voice cracked and crackled from
lack of use, and my breath struggled to make the phrase.
But I sang. And she was still smiling.
"Georgina," she asked, "Do you like your
speaking voice?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I do.
I make a living from my speaking voice," I answered.
"Well, my dear, you have one voice-box. And if
this voice-box can produce a speaking voice you like, it
can produce a singing voice you like."
She then
explained that each child's singing ability develops
differently. Some children develop rhythm first, and
some develop tone first. I was obviously a rhythm kid.
Who knew?! All those years of not singing…
Am I
Diana Krall? No. But do I enjoy singing, and do I sing
whenever I feel like it (and it's appropriate)?
Absolutely!
What 'fish bowl' are you in? What
paradigm is your 'truth' that isn't really
true?

| The Rewards of Practising
Hypnotherapy |
| by Jinus
Rafezadeh | |
|
|
 |
I have always considered
touching lives a privilege. There is no occasion
more rewarding than looking into a client's eyes
when they utter the words, "Thank you! You have
changed my life." These words have always had the
tendency to fill me with a tingling sensation of
humility and joy. |
As a
hypnotist and counsellor I have devoted my energy to
helping those who struggle with cigarette smoking and
food addiction.
A year and a half ago a young
man walked into my office in utter desperation,
believing he could never win the battle with smoking. In
addition to his cigarette habit, he struggled with anger
and rage that had engulfed his spirit for many years.
In our first session we explored the
effectiveness of hypnosis in conjunction with therapy.
To make a long story short, that young man has
successfully remained a non-smoker for over a year now.
He has remained a client of mine since then, and has
been pursuing various objectives through therapy.
In December 2005, during one of our sessions, he
thanked me for helping him save over $4,000 throughout
the year -- and there it was again -- that tingling
sensation of humility and joy in my heart for touching
another precious life.
Jinus Rafezadeh is a
graduate of the Ontario Hypnosis Centre
School.
