I would like to follow up on my last article about the young man I ‘regressed’ who saw and experienced himself twelve years into the future as a successful business person. I cannot report the validation of that incident yet, but I can tell you the results of his overall experience of the hypnotism. He originally came to see me to be hypnotized to alleviate test anxiety and improve his score on a national exam. I hypnotized him two times, a week before the exam and the day before the exam. Last week, his mother telephoned me to tell me that he performed significantly better on the exam after our sessions than he had previously scored the last time he sat for the test several months ago. This improvement in test scores, she explained, will facilitate his acceptance to the college of his choice. She also explained that the boy did not think our sessions had anything to do with the improved scores. However, she and her husband were convinced otherwise.

What really happened? What is this all about? I have learned that whatever is supposed to occur during our ‘regression’ sessions is exactly what will happen. We have all of the power to help and heal ourselves in our unconscious mind with the guidance and wisdom of our spirit guides who are with us always. All we have to do is listen to our guides. As I have written before, the guidance comes to us in the form of a gut feeling, sixth sense, a thought [from nowhere] in our mind. Reading John Edward’s books and my sister, Char Margolis’ books will help you to listen to your guides.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could just pick up the phone and call up to Heaven?

“Hello God? Yeah, it’s me again, have ya’ got a minute? I was wondering if I could bounce a couple of ideas off of you?”

Happily I can report that we do have a hot-line to heaven as close as our pillows, and that direct communication is possible through our nightly dreams.

Of course the Bible is filled with dreams in which God and angels warned and guided the people of the day. And, history is replete with factual stories of inventors, designers, authors, scientists, musicians, athletes and others in all fields of human endeavor who have received important messages enabling them to do great works through their dreams.

Today my husband and I are going to a funeral. I will refer to the young woman who died as Peg and her mother, as Ann. Peg leaves behind her mother, her husband, two little girls, ages 7 and 9, and her brother. Peg died after a long experience with cancer. Ann has now suffered the losses of her husband, her youngest son, her first son-in-law and now her only daughter.

Her husband died several years ago after a long suffering with ALS. This is a horrible sickness that attacks and destroys the physical body as the mind continues to work perfectly well. Her youngest son died two years ago after becoming paralyzed in a freak exercise equipment accident. Apparently, the exercise machine malfunctioned, broke, landed on and broke his neck. Ann’s son-in-law, in his efforts to help his beloved brother-in-law heal, took him to South America for an alternative treatment he had heard about and was counting on. This treatment was not successful. Ann’s son-in-law was despondent. He died shortly thereafter from an accidental overdose of drugs. He left Ann’s daughter, Peg, a young widow with two little girls.

Spring is here! Happy days! A time to rejoice, count our blessings and allow ourselves to rejuvenate. A time to lift our spirits and a time to heal. This is so much easier to do for some of us than for others. The real challenge is to be able to do this when we are facing adversity. When we experience health, financial, psychological, family, interpersonal and any other difficult issues, the challenges to think positive are great and overwhelming. So what can we do?

The trick is to bring rebirth to our spirituality and to our thinking. Remember, our spirit guides are always with us. They will guide and help us when we open ourselves to and listen to their wisdom and guidance. Complete trust and faith in their guidance and in a higher power will bring us spiritual health. I have learned that this step of faith and listening to the universe will help us to think in a healthier, more rational way. Then our behavior can be more positive. The last things to change, it seems, are our feelings. So it behooves us to do the spittle work first. A healthy spirit fosters a healthy mind and a healthy body.

In this article I will review the stress reduction suggestions that I discussed in my two previous commentaries. I have learned from my own and others’ experiences that reviewing is most important in our learning process. So to freshen our memories, the following stress reducers are reviewed:
