Signs and Synchronicity

The theme for this month revolves around signs and synchronicities. God is certainly producing information to catch our attention. Several years ago I saw information in some periodical which I found interesting. This written story told of the similarities between the presidency of President Abraham Lincoln and President John F. Kennedy. The similarities started with one being elected in 1860 and the other one hundred years later . This long list of similarities that were so similar it was eery ended with both being assassinated while in office. I read it, thought I had saved this powerful information, and lost the periodical in our heavy travel schedule at the time. I could remember enough of the similarities to tell, but could never remember all of it and knew that it was phenomenal information. Over time, people would look at me with a look of “Are you sure?” and even I started thinking maybe I just dreamed I read all of this. However, I asked for the information to find me again after I finally surrendered the fact that I lost the periodical.

This month not only did the wonderful and intriguing information find me again, but it was sent by my sister who never really knew I had wanted this information to again find me. It was sent in email format with pictures that make it even more astounding showing the comparisons of people and events that happened one hundred years apart. Does it mean history repeating itself, parallel lives, past lives, or just archetypal energy as Carl Jung, the greatest healer who ever lived, said about Universal Consciousness? Or, is it just a fluke of nature?

Whatever it was, it is interesting to read and look at the pictures. It also shows when we surrender to the idea that something has been lost, information can again find you when others take the time to keep life interesting through their effort.

Here is the link to read this information and look at the pictures: History Mystery

And now that you have read that information, enjoy a musical re-enactment of this theme with this link:   The Highwaymen

Past lives / Parallel lives can assist Healing

After looking at all of this, know that Dr. Brian Weiss, Yale Ph. D psychiatrist, never thought that patterns explored by the mind as the possibility of past lives or parallel lives could actually heal. He had a client with panic and anxiety attacks. They had worked for a long time on these attacks with psychotherapy and medicine with no success. However, the client spontaneously regressed to a former life while doing relaxation therapy with her eyes closed. She healed immediately with her never having another panic attack ever. Dr. Weiss says: “I don’t know if it is patterns of energy or real, but I do know that people heal when touching this phenomenon.”

Anyway, for me, I was just elated to get the information again. It is so entertaining, especially with pictures, that I felt you would want to read it.

The Brain / Nervous system can regenerate /rejuvenate

After that, the Birmingham News recently had two very interesting articles. One re-enforces the concepts that we and our hypnosis students already know: the mind can assist with healing and restoration of the body. This article in the Birmingham News was about a study conducted at UAB. The completed study has proven that the brain can repair itself when proper instruction is accepted as a new program by the mind. In the past, traditional science and medicine thought that the brain was an organ which would never restore after impairment.

Eagles Rejuvenate for a longer lifetime

Right after that article came out, I received another synchronicity which caught my attention. Another of my sisters gave me a tape about the study of eagles several years ago. When the bald eagle was close to extinction for a time, protection and study happened. It was learned that around the mid-point of their life, they must do a physical releasing in order to survive. Some eagles go ahead and just die. Those who do this releasing, regain their youth and keep it for another life span which is again as long as they have lived before the release.

The only way to tell an eagle who has rejuvenated from a truly youthful eagle is the band that is placed on the leg of an eagle in the process of releasing rather than giving up and dying. By the way, those who give up and die appear to be depressed and hopeless before their giving up takes place. Their behavior mirrors clinical depression.

This process was what I used as an analogy when explaining to clients about the releasing process for cellular releasing™ . Well, you can view a wonderful story of this releasing process of eagles on this link which was sent to us: Rebirth of the eagle. If you read last month’s update, you will notice that things I have told others have begun to come back to me to remind …and I think it is to remind ME! My own analogies are coming back to me as written word or video… perhaps to remind me to use them (maybe on myself).

Weight Loss Hypnosis still working

Right after this, a friend and former student/client of mine sent a wonderful picture of herself. You can view her story on our weight loss section. She lost over 80 lbs in our year program. She recently sent us an update and included that she has avoided many of the pitfalls that those with lots of extra weight experience without surgery, plastic surgery, or trauma. She is looking wonderful when focusing on herself to continue the weight loss. Please click this link to view Pat's email and picture.

What got her going again? I don’t know, but I do know that I had surrendered from trying to browbeat her into taking care of herself. We are elated over her successful motivation.

Life Expectancy of Women is declining

Right after this, David Brown of the Washington Post has an article in the Birmingham News on April 22 which gives even more power to the idea of using the subconscious to release old programming to regain youth and rejuvenation. This article shows that the life expectancy of women IS DROPPING! The reasons given were two: smoking and obesity. Go to two links to learn how to stop smoking and lose weight with private or in-home hypnosis sessions.

The life expectancy decrease trend is found in certain areas of the country now, but Christopher Murray a physician and epidemiologist at the University of Washington feels it is quickly becoming a national trend and the numbers are very significant in the years lost because of smoking and obesity. Five years of life expectancy is now lost because of smoking and even more from obesity.

The former student who sent her picture has one personality flaw: she tends to focus lots of energy and effort onto helping heal OTHERS. I was ecstatic to see that she had taken the time to focus on self. This happened again after I surrendered and let go from trying to get through to her that her major problem was that she was not looking out after self. She tended to focus upon others even to the point of her own detriment. That pattern obviously shifted and she has started accomplishing healing of her own body for herself.

Well, after these signs, synchronicities, and a picture came, I got out my favorite in-home hypnosis healing sessions on CD (pick out some for yourself with this link: Hypnosis CDs) And I have begun to spend time reprogramming myself! What better way to release causes and program than through the subconscious mind with hypnosis. If you are a helping professional of others, you have to remember to focus positive energy upon yourself also.

Grief can destroy health & life

The next theme that came for us to observe this month was the impact of grief upon a person’s health and quality of life. A family member recently lost a pet who was thirteen years old. "Harley" was her very special pet and my niece was devastated. I could understand because I lost my pet after 18 years and devastated was the only way to describe me at the time.

Signs and Sychronicity Help

I learned this month that divine energy had helped me and that was in 1994. I was looking up Rainbow Bridge for my niece and came upon a Pet Communicator I visited in Houston when my pet died. She normalized my feelings and after a time with subconscious work, I turned the grief into positive memory with lifelong love. The pet communicator told me she went against what others thought was best for her in order to do her communication work. I didn’t realize until this month that she started in 1994 (the year that she helped me). She went on to California and is now world famous. However, she started in Houston, Texas. To read about this interesting woman go to www.sonyafitpatrick.com

My search for Rainbow Bridge was to try to answer the question : is it all over? For someone in grief. This is usually the burning question for one in grief. It feels like hitting a very solid brick wall at about ninety miles an hour.

What happened? The first link I went to for Rainbow Bridge was www.4everinmyheart.com.

What was there? A message from Harley. To me, Harley has always sounded like a huge dog. My niece’s Harley was very tiny with a huge spirit, like his owner. On this site is a stone with tiny footprints labeled with the name Harley and the message: “Forever in my heart.” I was not searching for myself because I have story after miraculous story of communication from my pet. I wanted something that would be telling for my neice in her grief. The way this works, the love is phenomenal and the message rapid and clear for those who accept signs and synchronicity as God’s way of helping us along the path of life.

Hypnosis Assists in Releasing Grief

This also brought up for me the memory of when I first started using hypnosis to assist grief. I used very traditional grief therapy at the time. It was educational, supportive, and normalizing. It didn’t produce results very quickly.

I used a forty minute session for a symptom with a woman in complicated grief. The symptom was lack of sleep from her inability to sleep because of raw grief. With just a few suggestions added to this releasing for her to find peace and for her mind assist her with turning the grief into positive memory, she achieved miraculous results quickly. From that situation, I started using hypnosis to assist with the release of symptoms of grief. Every case had positive results. This happened so quickly it was amazing.

Grief over lost love can be deadly

It doesn’t matter what the source of the grief is: death, job loss, divorce, trauma, loss of a pet, loved one, friend, etc. Grief symptoms are devastating and without intervention they can be deadly.

This month I was reading a religious book and the author was talking about the courageous horse who hit the national headlines because of his exceptional ability and character in the 1920s. The horse was Man ‘O War.

This horse achieved unparalleled success through the techniques of training and support provided to an already exceptional talent. It was pointed out in the telling of his story that his owner made sure his abilities were nurtured through loving means and never abusive means of training. Also, the owner respected his horse’s accomplishments so much that he refused huge sums of money in the 1920 (several million dollars). He said that some things cannot be bought and refused to sell Man ‘O War.

The story also became very interesting because of the relationship between the horse and his trainer. They deeply loved one another over a long relationship. Man ‘O War was a healthy horse who outdid all concept of strength of body and character in a horse. He died physically at his prime. He died from grief. His trainer, with whom he had this deep, loving bond , died and Man ‘O War died one month later showing all the signs of raw, unquenchable grief symptomology.

Grief may even be the cause of pain

Grief can also manifest as physical pain. After the pain has been determined to be chronic and not acute, it is usually somatized emotion. Dr. Martin had a session with a wonderful teenager this month. Because of the results he obtained in releasing his somatized pain, they made a radio commercial together. Rather than my telling the story of his release of pain, please click this link and listen to his testimonial on the radio commercial.

Hope you continue to live a wonder-filled life!
