Deciding on What Will Make You Happiest Part II
This is the second part of this Life Coaching Transcript for Laurie .

… but there is another piece, that I am more of an introvert in the first place, and have a HUGE creative side to my nature and have been developing my art and photography interests this last year.
Right now this may be the best thing for you to focus on. It sounds like it gives you joy and that you have less resistance in this area. Art is a very healing thing. Bring your energy to a place of great passion, joy and enthusiasm before you begin your work and your images will convey this to your admirers.
If someone asks you a question, if they actually come to you seeking comfort and advice, are you introverted or are you enthusiastic and ready to help? So remain open and let it come to you. When the time is right to make things happen you will be guided.
But most importantly know this… you affect people everyday of your life… people who will never tell you how much you changed their life. With each success you have, with each joyful moment you create within your own mind and feelings, you are adding to the light on the planet. This is a fact! This does affect thousands of people. Your desire to grow and expand draws more life force energy through us all… It has done this for me today.

And I’ve also discovered another cool possibility for a home business, creating stargazing ceilings for people with a special process available through a company called Starscapes! It is the magic-loving/creative side of me that is REALLY attracted to that, and I’ve sent for their intro kit and sample.
Laurie said:
There are so MANY choices about how to do any one of the things I am interested in! …The other part is, I am genuinely swayed and get enthused about each area of interest as I am exposed to other people who are into the same thing or material I find on the web… most days, by the end of the day I feel dizzy from all my shifts of feeling enthused about one thing after another, and frustrated by my lack of significant momentum toward any one of them!
Some things just do catch my eye and I investigate. But I set time limits on this and I tell myself, “There will always be plenty of choices on offer. When I am ready, there will be some fantastic ground floor opportunity to get into. But right now I am doing what I love and that is teaching.”
See, again it is about reaching for the better feeling thoughts. Because the offers of great wealth feel good we tend to go towards them. This is good, until it feels bad as you described. But there are other things that feel good too, so pick the most important ones to you and make them the priority.
Referring to your hypnosis training you said heaps but I’ll focus on this:
… it involves lots of regression to cause and informed child work plus forgiveness work of others and self, and sometimes parts mediation if necessary due to secondary gain issues. Being an Abe-head, there is something about that that just doesn’t sit right with me
Hypnosis happens all the time… if you listen to Abraham speak he is always using hypnosis. All you need to do is create an altered state in someone and then program them with the tools to get to where they want.
For example…
Can you remember a time when you were hypnotized? Can you remember how being regressed felt and how it brought up all that pain? Go ahead feel that memory of all that pain now. Did it feel good? No, well don’t do that anymore!
How do you feel when you listen to Abraham? Do you feel inspired and passionate? Do you feel the sense of, “Of course this is so easy?” As you remember this feeling… know that you too can create this state in another. Listen carefully to Abraham as he does this. Let the feeling sense of it settle into your being. YOU TOO CAN DO THIS for others! Did you get that?
YOU TOO CAN DO THIS!
They want to feel good. So listen to what they complain about and recognize it is an indication of how important the topic is to them. Tell them how you understand the importance of this issue. You gain immediate rapport when you do this. Create a better feeling image around the important bits. You can do this! Repeat yourself. You can do this. The programming sinks in deeper and deeper as you repeat yourself. You can do this too! You can even do it in writing as I have just been doing with you!
Laurie said:
I keep asking myself, what is holding me back from actually getting on with hypnotizing someone, even just for practice, and it feels like fear of failure/perfectionism. There is a part of me that wonders if my seeming reluctance to do that is more to do with fear of not being able to do it perfectly right off the bat, and/or of hurting someone in the process
This is where you are hitting the nail on the head… see you can do this too! You are spot on in counseling your own self… see you are already doing this! I can see how important it is to you to be harmless. Be clear in your own mind that your primary intention is to be harmless… and you know what? You will be harmless. You know what? Next year you will be better at this than you are today. How does that thought feel?
But how will you get to being better at it next year? Accept yourself as you are, you are wonderful and full of loving desire to be of assistance. The Universe will deliver you all the help you need. But you must take the steps you are guided to take and be okay with falling down sometimes.
So what if you make a mistake. Have you survived all of the other mistakes you have made? How many people will miss out on what you have to offer if you don’t start right now.
You will not hurt someone else, they will reject any suggestion you give them that is not in alignment with their Source. If you take them to a good feeling place and then offer better programming it will sink in. You can do this.
Laurie said:
…or whether I just really would prefer to do more impersonal things for money, like inter-network
marketing, art, photography, or that Starscapes thing, and/or a combination of those, and NOT FEEL RESPONSIBLE for others.
If you just can’t get past the negative feelings around coaching someone else then yes I would suggest you do the more impersonal things for money. You can then allow yourself to grow. Did you catch that ALLOW part. Know that in time you will feel confident.
Your negative feelings may be telling you now is not the time to get into it full on. So just go slowly and take care of yourself first.
You said:
…I just really don’t want to get involved with long-term client relationships where they share all their problems with me over a long period of time…
I don’t blame you, that does not appeal to me either. The choice is obvious… don’t do that. I won’t be doing that. I will listen long enough to get the flavor of what they are asking and for them to realize that I do understand their problem, but I will cut them off just like Abraham does.
It serves no one to go the old fashioned counseling model of listening to clients for an hour. It just keeps them stuck.
Laurie said:
…On top of all this, I also got involved with a group who went through my hypnosis school after me, who are all actively trying to get pure hypnosis practices going — a Success Team — and I have found myself being attacked by the woman who started it for reasons I still really don’t understand! She is very intense and driven, from Morocco and very loud and animated and passionate, and I think her vision for this group is greater than that of any of the participants (at least speed-wise, scope of vision-wise)… it’s too complicated to get into here, but it shook me up and makes me wonder even more if I am on the right path with that…
The reason you were attacked is because you are a vibrational match to it. I get the feeling that you have elevated her above you in status and you have a habit of taking grief from those above you. When you reclaim your own self worth these things will cease to occur, or roll off you like water on a duck’s back.
You will get this when you work with people wanting to be healers… lots of ego stuff comes up. People get involved with this because it feels good. They admire their mentors and want the same admiration heaped upon them. Then they charge out there half cocked and not aware enough to really do the healing work.
I know this from personal experience. When I first got started I made it my intention to be a healer. I was sincere, but at the time I did need that admiration to heal my own lack of self worth.
Luckily for me I started slowly and did not make too many really embarrassing mistakes, but I did make a few. I realized where I was coming from when one day I was frustrated at watching my wife vomit many times a day for nine months as she slowly died of cancer and at the same time looking after a huge and beloved dog who was also dying.
I looked up into the sky and said out loud, “God, why do I have to go through this?” The answer that I got immediately was, “You said you wanted to be a healer. Healers work with the sick and the dying.” This is when I knew that I needed the admiration more than I wanted to help others.
Over four years have passed since then. I got full on back into software and continued my personal growth work. I helped people on a casual basis, rarely for money, but I did help them. It has just recently become obvious to me that it is now time for me to be doing this professionally. It is so clear and many people and life are pushing me into it. And I am loving it!

I too believe that we are all capable of helping others, no matter where we are on our own path, we have something to offer others.
I am personally having breakthrough after breakthrough, spiritually, and seeing miracles in my life all the time. I had no idea that I could help someone, let alone someone with severe physical pain who was hurting also on a deep emotional level. I mean, this is something that a professional should handle, right? But my good friend, who is also a Mom, found herself on the healing end of something higher than both of us one day while we were talking about her situation.
Let me say, that when you move over and just let spirit come through, the most amazing things can happen! I wish I had time to recount the whole story (I wrote it down since it was a life altering event for me), but I can say that even though she was not healed on a physical level (YET), her emotional state has had a huge improvement since our encounter (which I in no way instigated, it just HAPPENED!) and I have no doubt that she will recover.
It had me wondering what I did, and the answer always remains, I was just THERE. I was BE-ING and spirit did the work through me. It felt wonderful and exhilarating and no wonder there are so many healers in the world.
I think Michael has so much to offer! Thanks for doing what you do!
Namaste,
Angie
