For your greatest happiness and health,

For thousands of years the female human body has been a vessel for the mystery of creating and birthing an entire human baby. I am awed by this mystery and miracle. Since the dawn of medicine, however, there has been movement away from natural childbirth toward using medicine and hospitalization for birth. (Thankfully, in 1957, my mother went against the norm, fought off the doctors, and had me naturally).

Recently I had the joy of sharing the stage at a Hypnobirthing Conference in London with my dear friend, Jenny Mullan, (far right in picture). She is a prominent teacher of Hypnobirthing in the UK. This program assists women to relax and allow the natural ability of their body to give birth with less pain and often no medication, resulting in a more harmonious experience for them AND the baby. Relaxing is the key to allowing the blood, hormones, and chemicals of the body to direct the whole event. When fear enters the scene, blood is sent elsewhere than needed, chemicals can’t help as much to create the looseness of the joints or relaxation of the muscles ~ and the whole process becomes about tension, pain, and control by medicine, rather than fluidity and the beautiful cosmic event that it’s meant to be. The national U.S. average of women giving birth with cesarean section surgery is now 31%, or one in three woman, compared to 4% in 1965.

Marie Mongan (far left in the picture) is the contemporary proponent of hypnobirthing through her book, Hypnobirthing – The Mongan Method and through teaching. She was the honoree at the conference and is a pioneer in reminding us that who we are already has the wisdom to give birth not only to a baby, but to each moment of life itself.

Where does the Sedona Method(R) come in? Jenny is a Sedona Method coach and uses it’s techniques for releasing the fears of her parents-to-be. This helps in preparation for being at peace and open to a marvelous birth. She also shares it with the practitioners she trains to assist parents in the birthing process. She invited me to share the benefits of The Sedona Method with practitioners at this international conference. I was very pleased to do so.

What does birthing have to do with you? Birthing a baby is a metaphor for how you approach each moment of your life – either tight and contracted or loose and open. The truth of who you are – beyond the body – is unlimited in its ability to harmoniously handle each unfolding moment with ease. But just like in the birth process, if you are contracted inside emotionally and physically, each unfolding moment of life will have more pain than beauty. Resistance, fear, and contraction, guarantee suffering. Letting go is the greatest key.

If it’s hard for you to believe that life can be beautiful or fulfilling, just notice where these doubts come from. Were they there when you came out of the womb or did you pick them up along the way? If you don’t go into memory, are those doubts actually here in this moment ~ or is there perhaps more space here for new possibilities – if you don’t hold onto the past?

To let go of fear is to live life in a new way. Thousands across this globe are able to do that because of The Sedona Method. Click on the Calendar link above for when and where you can learn to let go of your fear, anxiety, and any feeling that hinders you living life to its fullest birth every moment.

I look forward to personally meeting you or seeing you again soon and helping you give birth to a tremendous life.

I was recently teaching The Sedona Method Coach Training in Holland. Afterwards, while exploring the city and the tulips in the countryside, I was reminded of the magnificence that exists in color, shape, and life. I also live in New York City and am reminded of how when we forget nature, we suffer ~ we feel a disconnection with ourselves and life. Indeed, we are nature too ~ expressed in human form. 

If emotions are feeling overwhelming, one suggestion, in addition to attending one of our free introduction evenings, is to find some air you feel nourishes you. Get to some form of nature to remind you of your larger connection to existence and the universe.

Don’t postpone this self-loving step. Take a moment to plan it now. Then look at the "Free Evening" link above and mark your calendar for the next Free Introductory Evening, or register for the next full Sedona Method weekend. Life is too short to postpone knowing outer and inner beauty any longer.

Here’s to your greatest happiness and success,

Recently I heard Dr. Deepak Chopra say, "We are microcosms of the infinite intelligence of the universe". He expresses health as, "The ecstatic, evolutionary, impulse of the universe; A higher state of conciousness in which you spontaneously make choices that bring joy to you, but also to others in the world". Later in the day, my friends were, I’m sure, joyful that I wasn’t as grumpy as I might have been.

So in advance, congratulations! And while you’re at it, why not decide what you will do for your joy tomorrow? Do something radical.  Actually make a choice that fills your heart.

Thanks Dr. Chopra and thanks to the evolutionary impulse of this amazing universe that expresses through – and as – each of us.

For your greatest health and happiness,

PS. For you graduates of The Sedona Method, keep your eyes peeled for the "Your Moment" from the Chopra Center on Wednesday,

For your greatest happiness and freedom,

Many of you know that I tour hospitals as a clown doctor using humor as medicine. Recently one of my stories from my exploits as Dr. Spaghetti, was published in the great book, Audacious Creativity. Sit back, get your milk and cookies, and let me read you part of this special story of Solomon, the dying teenager that changed my life in his final moments.

For your happiness and freedom,

Do I sound crazy and unrealisitic to propose that you create some time just for you during this season? I speak of the need for it from very personal experience. I am off to Chicago to be with my family for two weeks, then on to Sedona to co-teach an advanced course with my friend and mentor, Hale Dwoskin (right), director of The Sedona Training Associates. Exciting? You bet.

And yet, so much to do at 2:30 am. It’s late! My eyes are drooping, but no rest for the weary, right? Wrong. What rule book is that written in? Well, I admit I had been following whoever’s rulebook that was, but not for long.

See the thing is, what quality of life do you have if you are always working to check things off the non-ending "to-do" list? So here’s my agreement with myself. Listen carefully, because I propose you do the same.

In the coming two weeks, I will consciously keep my eyes open for moments or more when I can take care of myself. If that means saying to my family, "Excuse me", and escaping to my room to rest or take a walk, then that is what I will do. Now if you have kids or responsibilities, this means you summon up the courage (and self-respect) and ask for support to have a break, no matter how short.

Okay, that’s my proposal. Are you in? Write a comment below if you are willing to join this revolution and take time for yourself in the next couple of weeks. I’d love to know. I will also post a blog about my progress while I am with my family. Above all, be open to the discovery that working hard and non-stop is a habit and in breaking it, you may just find the quality of your life kicks up a very important notch.

Here’s to your time for you.

Happy Holidays!

Sue Benson, "I came with painful knees, an aching back and left pain-free and in love with my body".

James Harris: "… a much stronger sense of fear and anger dropping away."

Watch the following for a transformative two minute sum-up of the weekend.

I have no doubt it will be a delight and pleasure. But it doesnt have to be. I could choose to worry about things back in my life. Who knows, I could worry about world politics or global warming or things closer to home like my health or money. All are topics that are important to pay attention to (not 100% of the time) and some of which I feel deeply about.

Here’s my point. If you have this weekend to play or even just a few hours off from work this weekend, letting go of saving the world during those precious moments of play is one step closer to saving yourself. And aren’t you an integral part of this world? Thus, you can call it saving the world one by one, starting with yourself.

Here’s to letting go! There is plenty of time to contribute to life in ways we feel moved to do. Taking a break for your health of body and spirit is required as well. You deserve it …

Loads of love and have fun!
