He’s a thin man; a cowboy in tight jeans, standing in front of me with his hands in his pockets. We’re having a conversation when I realize that he’s dying; he has advanced cancer and is pretending not to know it.
The power of auto suggestion is real. The mind along with your subconscious are very powerful. Once they are in tune with each other, they are capable of creating whatever you wish of them to produce. Speak your desires into existence.

It’s 2 a.m., and I’m sound asleep when suddenly there’s a strange and very large man standing right beside my bed – about a foot away. He’s wearing jeans, a dark t-shirt, and an unbuttoned flannel plaid shirt. He’s not trying to scare me; he’s just casually standing there looking at me – rather sweetly.
“How can I possibly start over?” you ask as we stare at the waves tumbling towards us on the beach. “I’m older now. Who would hire me?”
“It’s better this way,” I whisper. “You know it wasn’t good the way it was.”
I’m standing on a beach surrounded by a vast expanse of dark sand for as far as I can see. Gulls are squawking in the distance. I’m looking into my father’s watery blue eyes. He’s animated and young, explaining something to me with more passion than I ever saw in the last years of his life. His brother, my beloved Uncle Pete, who died soon after my dad, is standing beside us, laughing.
I’m sitting in a white, dome-shaped room at a large table. The sound of water falling in the background is soothing. But I’m feeling anxious anyway and am unable to sit still.
The man in front of me carefully studies charts spread out across the table, amused by my impatience. Slowly he looks up and smiles. “You can do this,” he says softly. “It’s a big path, a strong mission. You’re ready.”
We’re having tea – strong, sweet tea – as we sit on the stone veranda overlooking an emerald sea. You’re laughing and telling funny stories about the challenges in your life when the conversation turns to career. “I don’t know – it’s just not clear to me what my true work is or how to manifest it,” you explain. “The job I’m doing, well, it pays the bills. But I feel like I’m dying inside.”
Let’s say you’ve done all the right things; went to law school, got a job with a good firm, and now collect a nice paycheck and benefits. Yet, the age of 30 is fast approaching and you’re feeling like you’re wearing the wrong skin. Your life doesn’t fit who you are inside. Yet everyone around you is very proud of your accomplishments. You can’t even discuss your unhappiness with friends. They say, “Be grateful you have a great job. The economy is terrible, and you won’t find anything better than what you have.”
Do you believe in intuition? Do you realize you can tap into your own future and “see” your next successful career step?
Maybe you’re smart, successful, practical, realistic and don’t believe in what you can’t see. But then why are you in this mess? Why are you rethinking your life? Why did you get laid off? You carry the solution to all of these problems right inside of you.

Wake up everybody! Get out of the unemployment line, and launch your new and improved life: This is not the end of your world. It’s the beginning of a much happier career and lifestyle that’s in alignment with what your soul came here to accomplish.
This great economic meltdown is a call from our collective unconscious. It’s a paradigm shift aimed at reconnecting us with our original purpose.
It's essential to our well-being that we learn to quiet the mind and control our thoughts. The most essential part of us – our souls, spirits, inner selves (use whatever term you prefer) is much deeper inside of us than our thoughts. We are not our thoughts.
When we need to get clarity, to make major decisions about our lives, we need to access this deeper part of ourselves which is always connected to the divine. The following exercise will help you access that place.

Help from a departed husband
1. Help From a Departed Husband
He’s a thin man; a cowboy in tight jeans, standing in front
of me with his hands in his pockets. We’re having a
conversation when I realize that he’s dying; he has
advanced cancer and is pretending not to know it.
“You need to go into the hospital,” I explain. “Well, I don’t
really want to do that,” he says casually. I become
concerned about this man not getting help, and I visit a
hospital, walking down its long corridors – trying to find
someone or an empty room.
Walking behind me very slowly, he whispers: “Tell her to
write. I’m sorry about the cancer.” I turn around and he has died, slipped away in front of
me – before I could find help.
I wake up.
I didn’t know him. It makes no sense. Who was he? I rack my brain for connections.
Sleepy, I drive the kids to school, get a latte, and come home to meditate on my first
client before I call her.
It’s hard to get a reading on Cathy. She’s a down-to-earth Capricorn on the path of the
“hard-working number 4.” And, I realize, as I look at the birth date she sent me, so is her
husband. They’re both earthy and practical – very strong and intensely bound to each
other.
In her email, she said he died last summer. I can feel that he was powerfully grounded
and worked with his hands. And it’s clear, from meditating on her birth date, that she
needs meaningful work to ground her – to give her purpose.
As I meditate on both of them, I realize that he’s the dying man in my dream telling me
that he’s “sorry about the cancer.” I ask him now what he wants me to tell Cathy and the
2. words come: “I provided for her. She’s okay. Tell her not to be so upset. Tell her to
relax. I don’t know why she’s so upset.” I write this all down for my client.
Cathy’s having a rough time and cries from the moment we begin talking. She tells me
that she was recently hospitalized for depression and she’s falling apart. I tell her I had
a dream and it might be her husband. She takes a deep breath and gets quiet. “Okay,
tell me.”
I describe the down-to-earth man in the dream. I tell her he knew he was sick but didn’t
want the medical care. He wanted it to go the way it went. He’s sorry that it traumatized
her. But he’s okay now and wants her to be too. Again, the words – “tell her to write.”
“Yes, he had stomach cancer and died a couple weeks after he was diagnosed,” she
explains. “Died at home…never lost consciousness until the end. He suffered terribly.”
She is devastated by the loss and more devastated by the memory of the suffering he
went through at home while she cared for him. “He was my rock. I can’t go on without
him. I’m traumatized by it.”
I give her all of his messages. I remind her how strong she is, and that she chose this
experience as part of her journey. “He wants you to relax and enjoy your life. But I think
you need meaningful work to ground you,” I explain.
“Yes, I feel so lost. My job is meaningless.”
Cathy explains that she and her husband were National Park rangers for 20 years. I’m
amazed at how well that reflects their chosen paths combining the earthy Capricorn
energy with the physically strong path of the number 4; a perfect expression of destined
work for these two down-to-earth, hard-working, soul mates. And now he’s gone.
Last summer Cathy transferred to a desk job doing administrative tasks for the Park
Service. She can’t go back to being a ranger without him, yet the administrative work is
meaningless.
“What did he mean about the writing?” I ask.
“I wrote a blog about what my husband was going through last summer and people
loved it. They said I was a great writer. My husband always told me I should write
professionally.”
“Have you explored a writing career?” I ask.
She says she hasn’t, so we discuss ideas, classes, books to read, projects to start.
Slowly her voice becomes more alive – in small bits – like an engine starting to catch
3. after a long, hard winter. I feel her husband beside me nodding in approval, “Yes, yes,”
he says. “Tell her to write.”
Before we hang up, she’s promising to follow-up with the assignments we discussed,
taking classes, reading books, looking into graduate schools. There’s hope in her voice.
I remind her that she’s still here on purpose with something meaningful to do. “Your pain
is your fuel,” I explain. “Use it now to make the world a better place.”
After the session, I thank her husband for showing up and offering guidance. I tell him I
hope we got it right.
Sometimes when we’re in grief, the only guidance we’ll accept is what comes from our
departed loved ones. He got through to her this time, and she may have turned a corner
in her grieving process. Hopefully, she’ll rally her strength to move forward. I’ll hold that
vision for her.
