Am I having synchronicities in a negative way or a positive way? You have to learn to read the signposts, which means you have to awaken your awareness. Very important. Be the observer of your thoughts and emotions. The road to great passion and purpose is not linear. It has a lot of dips. Those dips are where you really learn something about yourself because we're in the earth school. It's all about lessons. Look at the cosmic picture. What am I learning at this point? What do I need to adjust? It's not just finding your passion. It's finding your direction. You find your direction hopefully by creating your direction and not letting the outside world slam you in the face.

How do you access it? First, you have to get out of monkey mind. Then you have to believe you can do it. Then you have to meditate, do chi gong, whatever that technique or tool is to get into the space where you can access everything. Everyone has a different go-to. But it takes persistence and it takes will. I've never accessed everything. I've just accessed what I wanted to access. The world is like your oyster. You feel unlimited. The only person who can block you is you, yourself. No one can block you once you get into the state of flow. And it takes me, I can meditate three minutes a day and get what I need.

And it takes me, I can meditate three minutes a day and get what I need. Or the other thing I do is before I go to sleep, I set an intention. And the intention is to solve a problem or I want to go within and find XYZ. And usually in the morning I will have an idea about XYZ or I'll wake up in the middle of the night. So intention is very, very important. As long as people are attentive and their intent is to live a life of passion, which not everyone's intent is, they'll get there. But it has to come from the heart, not the head. You get what you focus on, and the more you focus on it, the more you get. Your energy goes where your attention flows.

For people who aren't feeling successful on the road to their true passion, I would say first, get grounded. Understand what you want. Understand your beliefs about yourself, your beliefs about others, and what's possible for you to do. Make a list of your gifts and abilities or what you perceive as your gifts and abilities. Then feel how you can best accomplish anything in life using those gifts and abilities. There are always frustrations. The road to great passion and purpose is not linear. It has a lot of dips. Those dips are where you really learn something about yourself because we're in the earth school. It's all about lessons. Those dips are about understanding that even through negativity, things that don't happen for you have a gift in them. Look at the cosmic picture. What am I learning at this point? What do I need to adjust? Be the observer of your thoughts and emotions.

From a very young age, you create all of these scripts. You create patterns, and patterns are things that you do that you just don't know you're doing. They just happen. When you start understanding and acknowledging your patterns, you can make choices. Most of these people aren't even thinking about making choices. They're just reacting. They're not grounded. They're all over the place. They live from monkey mind. They have so much going on and they're living in their phones, in virtual reality. They're not living in their bodies and they don't understand who they are, so how can they understand what they believe? If you want to change, you have to change your beliefs about yourself, your beliefs about the world, the way you think, the way you react, why you react. Am I making choices now from the present moment or am I making them from all the scripts from my childhood?

So that's how we teach creation, that you're an unlimited being. You're only limited by your imagination because you have all the tools within. It's about accessing the tools within. And that's what creating from within means, accessing all the gifts and abilities you have because you have the whole universe within. But how do you get there? How do you access it? First, you have to get out of monkey mind. Then you have to believe you can do it. The world is like your oyster. You feel unlimited. The only person who can block you is you. We're great creators. It depends on our attitude, our awareness, and our talent for getting to the bottom of things, to what we really want.

If things aren't working out for you, what's your attitude? Why aren't they working out? What are you feeling about this? Where are those feelings taking you? Can you say cancel, cancel to the thoughts that are creating those feelings and turn them around into positive emotions? Because you can. You have to learn how. Every thought we think goes out to the universe. It's not just our own thoughts. I say cancel, cancel. And you can train your brain because your brain doesn't know the difference between a lie and the truth. So, I just keep repeating what I think is where I want to go, what I feel is where I want to go, and I tell myself empowering statements until I repeat them enough that I believe them. Then my brain believes them, and then that's what I'm going to attract. Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it? And of course, I always say that it's already done and I step into it because your brain also likes to be right. If you say this is going to be in your future, it'll never happen in the now. It's always going to be in the future and it won't happen.

Acknowledging that every Reiki method is respected, it is beautiful to be reminded that the essence of all Reiki is the divine unified energy of all things. The practice of Reiki is presented in countless forms, teachings, and schools, and at times, this can be bewildering for those beginning the exploration of Reiki,

Why did I study Reiki? I was in Bali for a month and it rained every day, so there wasn't much to do. I got my masters in scuba diving because you can scuba dive and go underwater when it's raining. Then I ran into a Reiki master. The Reiki master was very interesting because his second job was to move the clouds for weddings, and he was hired by the Four Seasons and the Sheridan and all the top hotels to move the clouds. Amazing, right? He was my Reiki master, and I studied Reiki for a month. When I came back to the US, I continued studying Reiki and I became a Reiki master, Karuna Reiki, Fire Reiki, whatever. It was a lot of fun, but it wasn't my profession. I was still doing licensing and doing Reiki, but it really helped a lot of people.

I was very passionate about licensing patents, trademarks, and designers. I really loved it because I was learning new businesses all the time. I was traveling 200,000 miles a year. It was a wonderful distraction from feeling anything. It was the perfect passion. I was developing lots of new products and lots of new brands and I felt very successful. Then at one point I just felt empty. I was burned out when I was in my late 40s and I started having shoulder problems. I had a frozen shoulder. What did that mean? Who knows? I tried Celra. I tried all the drugs possible and nothing would unfreeze my shoulder. I was in Paris, it was like 20 degrees out, I couldn't put my coat on because I couldn't put my arm through the arm of the coat, and I was walking. I went out and learned something else. So it sounds a little crazy, but that's what drove me to be of service. I was so lucky to be able to do that because it really filled my heart and I stopped being numb. Passion and purpose led to feeling, to getting into my heart, into staying very present and grounded in my life 30 years ago.

r Joy - Score: 90/100 [note/advice] There are only a few inches between your heart and your head. Most people are thinking from their head to their heart. To know what you really want and how you want to create, you have to feel it. You want to follow your feelings. When I ask someone to create a plan for their life, I don't say think about what you want. I say feel how you want it. What's the feeling you want to have going forward? Then what can you do to get there? They have to get into their heart. Your passion doesn't have to be what you do for a living. You can love painting and not be a professional painter. Passion could be sprinklings of a lot of different things around what you're doing for work. If someone has no idea whatsoever, I say when you get out of bed in the morning and have a choice of five different things to do, do what you love. Do what brings you the most joy or what you perceive will be the best option and then go from there. Go from one little step to the next. Ask yourself, what brings me joy? What gets me out of bed in the morning? What are those thoughts? What are those beliefs? What are those feelings? Pursue that.

When you're curious and open, and remember what you used to love as a kid, and you're in touch with your heart and know what brings you joy, you can nicely move into the next flowing state. Whatever makes you feel timeless, whatever puts you in a position where you don't even know that time has passed, is probably going to be a passion for you and give you purpose. So you have to notice what you notice, but it means you have to be present and curious your whole life. Life is like a smorgasbord. It's like a treasure hunt. When you put your attention on positive things and the feeling that life really is a treasure hunt, you're always looking for that opening, something you're going to love, notice, and want to be involved in, whether that's a political party, helping a school, or going to Africa and setting up fresh water for people who don't have it, digging wells, whatever. I had multiple passions because I had a lot of curiosity. I never focused on one thing. I focused on one thing at a time, but I had multiple passions. There are just so many things you get passionate about, then you want to know more and more. Then you mix them all together and decide what you're going to use at any given point in time to help someone who needs it.

There is no such thing as a healer. You inspire people to heal themselves. Everyone has to do their own work. It's the relationship between you and the person on the other side. I learned that maybe 30 years ago with Reiki. I'm not sure that it wasn't the therapeutic alliance at that time that helped people or actually the Reiki, because most people don't get the attention they need and have someone who is patiently and presently listening to them. When they do, great transformations happen. The worst thing a healer can say is that they heal people because you don't. Yesterday I had a stage four person with cancer, multiple cancers. Two of her kids tried to commit suicide last year. She was a total mess. How could I heal her? You have to give her the tools. I worked with her for two hours and gave her a bunch of tools and she felt great afterwards, which is nice because she can understand that she could feel better than the state she was in when we started. But if she doesn't continue using those tools, nothing's going to happen. So, as a healer, you can show them the way, but they have to do the work. I think I help to empower people to be the best they can be. I don't heal people. I empower them to take care of themselves, to heal themselves, and to understand that they are great creators. And there's nothing to stop them but themselves.
