Problems and Issues Addressed

Some of the problems that frequently come up in my work with individuals and couples:

How do I know who I am?
What's the point of my being here in this world?
What's my personal worth?
How do I deal with anger?
How do I communicate so others will accurately understand me?
What's so important about love?
How do I identify and respond to traumas from my past?
How do I ensure that they do not interfere with my present life?
How do I appreciate and do what is best for those I love?
How do I avoid imposing my own prejudices and confusion on others?
How do I make the best of my possibly troubled life?

This list, of course, could go on to a great length.

Don's Convictions:
It is my conviction that each person, regardless of the difficulties of the moment, has a life that at its core is very worthwhile. I further believe that each person has a wonderful purpose in life that is achievable.
I believe that each person's existence has a worth and meaning far more significant than may be recognized by the world around us.
Personal problems can be resolved in terms of the most obvious experiences at hand. Deeper, more central experiences can also be used as problem solvers. I believe it is right to use the problem solving level most meaningful for you now.
The Great Medium and its message

Three Reports from Don on some of the professional sharing that we enjoyed during our last few Westend Counselling Network meetings.

One fascinating focus of attention was “water.” Dr. Masaru Emoto from Yokohama Japan has been busy revealing amazing facts about water. He discovered that frozen crystals revealed a good deal about the water used to make them. His work makes it clear that “molecules of water are affected by our thoughts, words, and feelings.”

Think of it! Your body is about 70% water. Every thought, feeling, intention, insight, belief, judgment, concern, and on that you have or that happens in the world around you influences the water that helps keep your body alive. Water influenced by love and gratitude produces wonderfully balanced and beautiful crystals. Water influenced by negative, hateful, fearful thoughts or feelings produces ugly, distorted crystals or none at all.

We chared some of his crystal pictures published in “The Hidden Messages in Water.” We joined in speculations explored by Dr. Emoto, Sandi Radomski and others expanding the potentials involved in using water wisdom therapeutically. New worlds are opening!

Bruce Lipton, PhD. In “The Biology of Belief” shares highlights of his journey studying the biology of human body cells. For him the journey involved growing from a highly intellectual, scientific atheism into a wide open mysticism. His discoveries indicate that human cells respond to all reality within and around much like Dr. Emoto finds water responding.

Dr. Lipton sees the skin of each of the many trillions of cells in our bodies functioning like a brain. Influences from all domains (vibrational, physical, psychological and spiritual) are processed by these cell brains and influence the structure and functioning of every cell. It is thus no surprise to discover that the very cells of our bodies carry records of all our experiences, good and bad, and if bad, need to be healed for a more comprehensive wellbeing to be achieved.

One of the challenges of contemporary therapy is to help provide restoration, balance, energy and healing for every aspect of our presence in life. We now are well alerted to the evidence that such therapeutic concerns need to go even deeper that Dr. Lipton's electron microscope. We can no longer be content with healing the mechanical aspects of our lives, as wonderful as our achievements are in that area.

It seems that a vast expanse of our journey into healing excellence yet lies ahead.

Approaching our professional interest from quite a different angle we spent some time sharing a few thoughts about T Harv Eker's book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.” Eker proclaims, p. 198, “If you want the world to be a certain way, then start with you being that way. If you want the world to be a better place, start with you being better.” And for you (us) to be better Harv sees the mind as our starting point.

Psychologically it is becoming ever more evident that the meaning patterns and the meaning-making patterns we birth within ourselves are the beginnings of our personal, human development. The paths of our development are greatly influenced by our starting points. If a path proves dysfunctional a new starting point is often the best solution.

In the”Millionaire Mind” Eker exemplifies this wisdom in many concrete, humorous and practical ways. He is giving thousands of people new foundations for their lives. He doesn't say it, but his use of money and riches can easily be taken metaphorically and used as a take off point for further personal, human development. He reminds me of a long standing observation I've made to the effect that “one of the most meaningful and exciting aspects of my work is helping people who are doing well do better.”
