Dreams Decoded: A New Way for a Healthy and Awakened Life

 

Have you ever had a dream that you were sure held an important message for your future?

 

 

A client called me with the most astounding  dream. It was the result of downloading and following the steps of a FREE  Guidebook: 7 Steps to Access, Awaken and Activate Your Inner Guide, on a website called AccessYourInnerGuide.com 

 

She received an important answer to a prayer in her dream concerning her past love relationship and healing.

 

 

 

This is a true story. I’ve changed my clients name to protect her identity despite her permission to use her dream in this blog.

 

 

 

Penny called me on a beautiful Cape Cod morning with what seemed like a simple request. “I’m on my way to the organic market by your home.  I’d love to stop by and talk for a minute.”

 

 

 

This was thrilling news to me because Penny has been suffering from stage four bone cancer for almost 5 years—four and a half years longer than her conventional doctors had given her to live because Penny had chosen to forgo conventional cancer treatment and use only holistic therapy to battle cancer that had metastasized from breast cancer.  Although we stay in touch by phone for sessions, I seldom have the pleasure of her company.

 

 

 

Penny's visit was a treat that would prove to be even more rewarding—because Penny had a profound healing, prophetic, lucid dream  about her past relationships and present healing to share.

 

 

 

 

 

Remembering her early morning dream was the result of step-one of the six ways to remember your dreams from the website guidebook:

 

 

 

·        verbally voice your intention to remember your dream  before you go to sleep.  Ask a question and you will receive an answer.

 

“I had never heard my spirit guide's voice in my life, and after all these years of believing they were responsible for guiding me on the correct path to healing by using  raw food,  I wanted to hear their voices,” Penny said as we sat on my back porch and looked out over Cape Cod Bay.  “So I voiced that intention before I went to sleep last night and I think my guides answered me. I think I heard their voices!”

 

“Tell me your dream—from the beginning—and don’t leave out any details,” I said as I took pencil and paper in hand and began to take notes.

 

 

 

Penny settled back on the lawn hair and began her dreamy story.  “I was walking down a clean and shiny corridor in a high school when I come to the gym where students were playing sports.  ‘How do I get out of here?’ I ask the students dressed in gym shorts. They point to a door.

 

 

 

Standing in the doorway is a female teacher. As I walk up to her I wonder if she is a guide and if I will get to hear her voice.  I ask her if she has anything to tell me. ‘You are one of the lucky ones. We got it all and you’re fine. It was a very unusual mole on your leg,’ she said, then moves out of the doorway and points to an exit sign.

 

 

 

I walk past her and find myself outside the High School building alone. I feel lost,  so I try to call my old boyfriend on the cell phone but the call will not go through.  But, since I don’t know where I am, I don’t even know where to tell him to come and get me and wonder how I am going to get home.

 

 

 

 A female taxi driver has parked in front of me. I ask her if she is going to my hometown and she says, ‘Yes. Get in.’  And as we drive away I wake up.

 

 

 

Do you think I was talking to my guides. What does this dream mean? Do you think I am in remission?”

 

 

 

I told Penny I know she was speaking with her guides, and no I do not think she is in remission. I believe she is CURED! And, that she will stay that way if she pays attention to the messages in the dream, especially concerning her relationship with her ex-boyfriend.

 

 

 

Dream Analysis:

 

 

 

A High School is a temporary place of profound learning. We learn social skills and graces that prepare us for life-long relationships. High School is the basics for happiness, higher education and a successful life in the business world.

 

 

 

A High School education is the basis for the future.  Without it, life is very difficult. In Penny’s dream, she finally graduated from the High School of Life & Hard Knocks where she has been under the direction of her Spirit Guides for the past four and a half years. One of her guides answered her request to see and hear them. 

 

 

 

The mole on her leg referred to by her Spirit Guide was a ‘dark spot on her support system.’  Our legs hold us up so that we can move forward in life. Penny had been putting her faith and giving her power to others rather than standing in her power and speaking her truth. She spent much fo her time "crawling back to an old boyfriend."

 

 

 

In her dream, when she thought she was lost and began to call her ‘past’ boyfriend for help, a cab driver showed up and took her home.  Her future was not in her past. Her relationship with that ex-boyfriend was abusive. It did not support her. It dragged her down. However, in times of confusion, it is easier to fall back into old habits rather than looking around for new guidance. Penny’s guides knew this and sent her the taxi cab.

 

 

 

A car is your life. A cab is a temporary life taking you where you need to go until you learn your way around and can drive your own car, aka, ‘handle your life.’  Her Inner-guides can fulfill all her present needs if she asks for help. Her answer to finding herself is not in the past. Only her problems reside there.

 

 

 

Penny must continue to trust in Inner-guidance until she can find her way around the world of post high school, drive her own car, and control her own life. Not reverting to old destructive relationships is an important part of graduation. We learn from our failures so we do not have to repeat them. This is especially true of relationships. Learning what we do not want in a relationship can be as important as looking for what we think we do want.

 

 

 

Dreams often overlap and Penny’s dream contains three of the seven dream types. Her dream is:

 

 

 

·        Prophetic because she is no longer in physical pain, she has more strength than ever before and is considering joining a gym (like the one in High School) to work out. Her medical reports (validation) state that the nine spots of bone cancer are gone and that she is in remission.

 

 

 

·        Lucid because she knew she was dreaming and wondered if the woman in the doorway was the guide she had asked to speak with in her pre-sleep intention.

 

 

 

·        Healing because it told her she was one of the luck ones, that they had gotten “all of it,” and that it was spot on her leg. 

 

 

 

Penny asked and received the answers to her intentions and prayers through her dreams.

How Can We Reverse the Cancer Epidemic? Integrative and Alternative Answers!

We spend so much time seeking answers to questions that rule our life. Why are there so many keys to missing locks of hidden doors that contain THE perfect answer, especially to illness? Illness is a nightmare. But are our nightmares gifts in disguise?



There is almost always a point in the process of illness where logic, reason, and medical expertise fails. It’s at this point a patient slips through the cracks, sometimes never recovering.



There IS an easy way to find the answer, key, lock and door.  August 29th may be a key that holds the answer to cancer. It is the official Launch Day for the WORLDWIDE Cure for Cancer FREE Telesummit.



Above the entrance to the ancient Oracle at Delphi the phrase, “Know Thyself” was inscribed in stone—another  key to life.



That key is one answer. But, do you know the question to other health challenges? What good is a key without a lock? What good is the answer, if you do not know the question? You need both, especially during cancer crisis.




I am thrilled to invite you to join me in the most comprehensive and integrative international online summit on cancer with multiple keys to doors of possible cures. 
Remember, there is more than one way to skin a cancer.

Burton is on a mission to reform conventional medicine and to help people reclaim their health. He’s a dynamo, traveling, speaking, and teaching all over the country three weeks out of every month.

Ty Bollinger; is a health freedom advocate, cancer researcher, former competitive bodybuilder and author. After losing several family members to cancer, he refused to accept the notion that chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery were the most effective treatments available for cancer patients. He began a quest to learn all he possibly could about alternative cancer treatments and the medical industry. What he uncovered was shocking. There is ample evidence to support the allegation that the "war on cancer" is largely a fraud and that multinational pharmaceutical companies are "running the show."



Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D.; Leigh Erin Connealy, MD attended the University of Texas School of Public Health, and then attended the University of Health Sciences Chicago Medical School. She completed her post-graduate training at the Harbor/UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, California.


Dr. Connealy soon realized that conventional medicine had very limited returns and did not always improve the health of her patients. Her patients were hungry for alternative approaches for improving their health. This led her to study integrative and complementary therapies, and since then she has revolutionized the landscape of medicine. Dr. Connealy feels that we must treat the patient with the disease and not the disease of the patient. She has discovered that many factors contribute to the disease process; therefore, many modalities must be used to reverse it.



Burton Goldberg; What put Burton Goldberg on the fast track to national prominence was the 1994 publication of his now best-selling Alternative Medicine: The Definitive Guide, produced by his own publishing company.

Linked Into Your Infinite Consciousness & Universal Knowing (part 1)

 

     

“The key to growth is the introduction of higher dimensions of consciousness into our awareness.”

Lao Tzu

 

Infinite Consciousness is not a “New Age” thought or concept.

The notion that there is Infinite Consciousness has been discussed and debated for centuries by brilliant minds, clergy and average people who were born “simply knowing.” Many people believe that we are all born with Innate Intuition that is the byproduct of past lifetimes and Infinite Consciousness. As we “mature” in our daily life, we learn to not believe that which we innately feel is true. But the truth is, much of it can be proved with the correct set of scientific or life tests.  Perfect example is having a dream that comes true in our waking world. That information, perhaps from our Physician-within shared through a prophet dream (discussed deeper in Book 2) is then validated by conventional medical tests. Where did this prophetic information come from? Perhaps our infinite consciousness shared by much more than our id, ego and superego, is a phone line to another dimension that we visit more often than we remember. Our Physician-within, Millionaire-within and Matchmaker-within can all access this Infinite Consciousness, aka Ocean of Knowledge, and bring us information in our dreams, meditations and prayers that can make a positive difference in our waking lives.

If our dreams are phone lines to another dimensions, then the phrase “Ask and you will receive,” may be the phone number. Intention/desire is the first step in manifesting what you want to achieve. If your challenge is health, your Physician will phone home for information and share it with you when you least expect it in the waking world using things like coincidences, connections, synchronicity and daydreams, because when you least expect it is when your mind is the most open to it. The concept of synchronicity was first described by Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychologist, in the 1920s. It is the experience of two or more events as meaningfully related, whereas they are unlikely to be causally related. You may see it as a meaningful coincidence, although the events need not be exactly simultaneous in time.

A client of mine is a perfect example of synchronicity in action when the answer manifested in a number of different ways.  An example would be asking for guidance that will show you where you need to be in your life because you are feeling ungrounded and unsure of your destiny. Suddenly, you start to notice the letter X on car license plates in front of you, and on billboards, and in your dreams. How can that be the answer to your question? Are all those Xs just a coincidence that raises more questions, or a meaningful answer? “X” marks the spot. Live in the here and now and your future course will be set.  Then you can easily follow your course.

I’ve always said, “A wondering mind is on its way to the beach of the Ocean of Knowledge.”

THE HISTORY OF INFINITE CONSCIOUSNESS

 The idea of Infinite Consciousness was suppressed by certain religions, rulers, and powers during darker periods of time in the history of mankind. It was threatening to leaders to have their subjects believe in themselves rather than their rulers. The rulers claimed to be more educated and therefore smarter than the average farmer, stone mason or butcher. 

Allowing people to follow their own intuition on their own personal journey toward enlightenment has never been a popular thought with people in power and therefore was suppressed whenever possible, often by threats of a horrible death sentence.  Examples had to be made. Statis Quo, the Latin term meaning the current or existing state of affairs, had to be maintained. But if the “status–quo,” were never challenged we would all still be taught, and many would still believe, that the earth is flat.  

Galileo dared to challenge the prevailing beliefs in a flat earth and endured the wrath of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Urban VIII took Galileo beliefs as a personal attack on himself and the church. The Inquisition tried and found Galileo "vehemently suspect of heresy". Forced to recant, he spent the rest of his life under house arrest. Eventually, his findings were brought to light and changed the way the world viewed itself.  

Infinite Consciousness has now been brought back into the light.

It is being reintroduced into current consciousness and text through the expansion of metaphysical concepts and thought.

As you read these chapters you may find yourself thinking, I know that! And, you will be right. There is a gnosis—a knowing—attached to this information that, despite its lofty sounding concepts, actually makes perfect sense in a perfect Universe and our imperfect lives, all of which creates balance. We live this knowing on a daily basis and often don’t even know it. Yeah, that was a mind scramble, but the truth.  It is when mankind views this perfect universe through the imperfection of humanism that lines become blurred and concepts become chaos.  But in this perfection even chaos is necessary for rebirth into the perfect circle of life.

There are many books on the market that describe and define consciousness and infinite consciousness. This e-book goes beyond definition and explanation to practical application. It shows you how to connect to your Infinite Consciousness, Physician, Matchmaker and Financier-within for a more fulfilling life. That makes it more than just a great read. It makes it a wisdom text wrapped in esoteric spiritual content for daily application.

Embrace your Innate Gnosis.

In part 2 of this article we will explore Infinite Consciousness in depth.

7 Steps to Find Your Master Key to a Better Life

We spend so much time seeking answers to questions that rule our life. Why are there so many keys to missing locks of hidden doors that contain THE perfect answer?  

There is an easy way to find the answer, key, lock and door.  

Above the entrance to the ancient Oracle at Delphi the phrase, “Know Thyself” was inscribed in stone—a key to life.

That key is an answer. But, do you know the question? What good is a key without a  lock? What good is the answer, if you do not know the question? You need both, especially during crisis. The real answer may be the question, “Who Are You?”

Here are seven steps to help you find the key to answers you seek in life.

Step 1: Self-discovery; Baptism by fire….

A crisis is a decisive moment in life. It can be an emotionally, physically or psychologically significant event or a radical change in a person’s status. Webster’s dictionary defines it as an unstable or crucial time or state of affairs whose outcome will make a decisive difference for better or worse.

Crisis can be a blessing in disguise that takes you to the heights of your human potential where only true perfection exists. Imperfection is not our true nature. We naturally return to perfection. Cut your finger. Watch it heal. Perfection in action.

Step 2: Anytime healing takes place there is change. Change is the flow of life and an opportunity for emotional growth. Look for your silver lining.

 

Change happens during life challenges or enlightenments; Ah-ha moments. The depth of the change reflects the emotional reform. The challenge can be divorce, illness, bereavement, financial loss, and spiritual and emotional shifts. These require healing.

Healing is a job. Thriving is a career move. If you are reading this article, welcome to the first day of the rest of your career. Here is a key to your success. It is up to you to figure out how to unlock the door to your future. But, here is a hint: Know yourself.

Let me also introduce you to a couple of your corporate directors who will be with you every step of the way; Ms. and Mr. Life and Death.

 

Life and Death go together like inhaling and exhaling. They are celestial fraternal twins. In order to fully celebrate life, we must embrace death as a friend because someday that friend will come for us. That is the law.  

Step 3: Realign your perspectives. What does death mean to you? How does it affect your life?

 Dare to live because worrying about Mr. Death is a waste of time and energy. Celebrate each moment with Ms. Life.

Step 4: Follow the sound of your angel’s voices as they whisper to you from your heart.

Crisis, like a nightmare, is only as bad as it is perceived to be and often contains important life-saving information presented in a manner that is impossible to ignore. These are pearls of wisdom from the sands of time that worked their way beneath the layers of life. Wear your pearls with pride. They are a commodity.

 My favorite mantra is, “Mind over matter.”  If you don’t mind it (embrace it in consciousness) then it won’t matter (manifest). Perception directly affects the outcome of a life challenge. We do not see things as they are, but rather as we are. My life challenge and Ah-ha moment all rolled up into one big Wake-up call was overcoming breast cancer three times.   

According to the United States Cancer Statistics (USCS) the number of adults who have ever been diagnosed with cancer is 18.6 million and currently 2.6 million women are living beyond breast cancer. Many are Thrivers who recognize death but choose to celebrate life.

Although breast cancer can be the vehicle to deliver a message of thriving, any personal pearl of wisdom can help to overcome your life crisis.

People eager to be helpful can offer their keys as answers.  They may be right.  But, for whose question?  Having a key is only half the solution. Finding the correct lock to the corresponding door is a big step.

The perfect Master Key that fits all your locked doors is closer than you may imagine. So, who are you!

Step 5: Look in the mirror. Reconnect through the windows of your soul; your eyes.

Mirror therapy can help you discover and embrace yourself. No one knows you better than you know yourself. You have all the questions and all the answers you will ever need.  Access them through dreams, prayers and meditations. Connect with your inner-selves; your Physician-within and your Eternal Teacher-within. You are made up of more than id, ego and super-ego. Your Eternal Teacher exists beyond the physical body.

Our Eternal Teacher (ET) contains innate information that allows us to connect with Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides during times of strife. Dreams are the phone line by which our ET phones home. Someone always answers the call. Do you listen? A dream journal can help.

Step 6: A dream journal beside your bed can help you connect with yourself and your guided information.

The ancient writing of the Talmud from the 2^nd -3^rd century BC states, “A dream not interpreted is like a letter to the self unread.” Ding, ding! You have mail.

Step 7: Know Thyself.

Yes! Discover yourself and find your answer. You are the key and the lock you seek. Open your door to endless information.

7 Lessons to Survive Your Crisis--A Blessing in Disguise!

Have you ever had a gut instinct that disagreed with scientific facts, and then found that you were correct and the facts wrong? You have inner guidance.  

 

Cancer is humbling.  Like any life crisis, it is guaranteed to knock you down with its series of emotional and physical trauma, beginning with discovery and continuing through treatment, often with no end in sight.  Upon hearing a cancer diagnosis, many people feel devastated, confused and alone.  Nothing could be farther from the truth. Here are seven lessons to help you survive life-crisis.

 

The first and most important one is: Even in your darkest hour—you are never alone!

 

I know because I am a three-time, thirteen and ten year breast cancer survivor who found out the hard way that not all cancers are discovered by conventional medical tests.

 

·         Intuition can play an important part in diagnosis and survival.

 

Intuition is defined as instinctively knowing without conscious reasoning. Take care of your spirit and it will take care of you.

 

 

·         Have you ever wished you had listened to yourself rather than to someone else?

 

No matter what stage of treatment or life crisis someone is in, they and their families should listen to their innate intuition when it doesn’t jive with the expert’s advice.  It’s time to let that inner voice guide you, then use modern evaluations for validation.  Listen, then validate!  Your inner voice may save your life, relationships, and financial future.

 

·         We all have Spirit Guides and Guardian Angels. We are their job and they take their job seriously.

 

How often do you pray but miss the answers in your dreams? Your dreams are the way your Eternal Teacher (ET) phones home to heaven for help during crisis. Your Higher Power always answers!

 

·         But, do you believe the answer you hear in your prayers, meditations and dreams? Watch for the validation in everyday life. Validation is indisputable information.

 

 

What I seek to achieve by writing this article is an alternative to ignoring our intuition in favor of science or ignoring science in favor of inner guidance.  The best way to survive any health crisis is to mix intuition and science and then cross-check them against each other for answers that are indisputably correct. Be a part of your health and life team because no one knows you better than you know yourself. Listen to yourself.

 

• Our bodies have been speaking to us since the beginning of humanity.

 

Your body uses signs, symbols and symptoms to communicate. Dreams, meditations and prayers are the phone lines to inner-information. Dr. Freud and Dr. Jung used the universal archetypes in dreams to treat patients because they understood connecting with the inner-self during times of crisis. If you ask for guidance you will get it.  

 

 It’s time to rediscover your inner-guidance. In order to effectively battle illness, you must get in touch with your inner-selves and work together toward the goal of survival by using everything available to you. By searching within yourself through dreams, meditation or prayer, you will find your own set of answers to any challenge. Become bi-lingual. Learn your personal dream language for a more fulfilled life.

 

 

 

 The first time I was diagnosed, I did not believe the test results that came back “negative for cancer,” suggesting that the lump I had discovered months earlier in my breast was just in my head. I summoned the courage to use everything available in this world and the next to save my life.  The physicians and tests had missed the 2.1cm tumor that was Stage-Two cancer—aggressive invasive ductal carcinoma—that had already infected one lymph node. Five years later they missed the second breast cancer that was stage-four invasive lobular carcinoma and a year later the beginning of another lobular cancer in the other breast. Finding the life-saving information in dreams was as lucky as winning the lottery three times in a row. Luck had little to do with it. Divine Intervention did.  

 

 

 My crisis was a wake-up call to change my life, and trust in a Higher Power. Science goes so far and then comes God.  Another challenge was deciding whom to trust—my doctors or my Guardian Angels.  I listened to both and cross-checked them against each other. That information came to bear on me in ways I never imagined as I ran the race of life against time.

 

I remember my exact moment of dream validation…

 

 “Pathology didn’t like what they saw when they cut the tumor open,” my surgeon said after closing the privacy curtain behind him. Fear replaced my nausea.

 

“So, is it cancer?” I asked, while holding fast to the hospital gurney; bracing myself for the answer I already suspected and feared.

 

“Yes, I’m sorry. I’ll refer you to someone else now, a specialist.”

 Thus began my Alice in Wonderland’s steady decent down the dark rabbit hole of Cancerland!

 

So my dreams had been right. The doctors and tests were wrong.  With my surgeon’s words, the first shot of my ensuing battle had been fired, and it was not a warning across my bow. It was point-blank into my breast. I glanced down at my painful wound and wept with grief and joy. God was with me.

As an R.A. Bloch Cancer Foundation Hotline Phone Counselor, Question and Answer Columnist for Cape Women Online Magazine and a three time cancer survivor, I have learned seven important lessons to overcome any crisis.

 

1. You are not alone! You are born with inner-guidance but like any innate skill, such as language, it must be perfected.  Practice makes perfect. Perfect your dream language and inner-communication skills.

 

2. Believe but validate.  Inner-guidance does not want you to “blindly believe.”  Validation will present itself; more proof that you are not alone. 

 

3. Ask and you will receive. (Whiners get nothing.) Remember to also give thanks.

 

4. Crisis is a wake-up call. So Wake Up! Make changes. Live a more fulfilled and joyful life. What life-lesson did you learn from your life-crisis? Don’t waste this blessing in disguise. It is a golden opportunity to grow with spiritual guidance.

 

5. We all have a Life Purpose. Despite what may have happened in the back seat of that old Chevy, no one is an accident.  Accidently is really “accidently on purpose.” If you are alive you are on the path (Life Destiny) to fulfill your Life Purpose. What “guided” you to read this article?

 

6. Life is full of crisis within circles of crisis. Embrace them as lessons for life. Dance in the rain and sing in the wind with your Inner Guide and Guardian Angel.  Nothing is permanent, including crisis, so enjoy the storm. You will turn negative power into positive outcome.  The storm will leave you in a fresher world.

 

7. Out of crisis comes order. 

 

Dreams, prayers and meditation can lead us through the dark tunnel of crisis and into the light of inner-order and prosperity.

The Ethics of Trust: Part II

One of the very first ethical decisions we make in business (and in life) is whether or not we can trust someone.  In this process of deciding to trust or not, we sum up a person’s character and then create a label according to our own experience, background, and beliefs.  After we create the label we then determine how we will interact with that person: Will we share information or withhold it?  Will we collaborate or do the work on our own?  Will we accept that person’s work or point fingers if mistakes are made? The decision to trust or not determines how much or how little we share about ourselves and engage with others.

 

We do all of this so quickly that most times we don’t even realize we are doing it.  Once our own judgment is made, it is very difficult for us to change our opinion.  We don’t look beneath the labels we’ve assigned to see a person’s true strengths, weaknesses, or hidden talents.  We rarely give second chances for people to change our opinion of them, and we seem to be surprised when we learn about a skill or talent that was not originally apparent or consistent.

Uncomfortable with this discussion?  You're not alone.  As we work with clients, colleagues and workshops participants we are constantly amazed at the "aha" moment of learning about the people we’ve “known” for years and thought we understood.  And what was the "aha" lesson?  That a person’s label “determines” our perception of his or her capabilities!  That our ability to trust a person depends on the label we assign subconsciously.  That the way we perceive a person depends on how they portray themselves and we pick up on that energy without even realizing it. 

Now I’m not going to point fingers and ask you whether you’re guilty of labeling people.  Instead, my question is this:  What hidden talents are You hiding from others that might benefit your organization or yourself?  Take a moment to think about that... and find someone you’re comfortable sharing this “aha” moment with!
