Epiphany, also known as twelfth night,
commemorates the pilgrimage of the three wise men,
wizards, and their visit to new-born Jesus.

These three wise men have been long standing
heroes of mine.  I have enjoyed lovely images of
their travel across the desert following the star
of wonder for as long as I can remember.

The mystery of their journey has fueled my
enduring love of pilgrimage and the sacred.

What star would you follow?

So, it's a good season to celebrate wisdom and
gratitude.

I thank you for your wisdom and I hope to add to
it with these offerings.

Go for it = > http://amzn.to/vXKNbC

Lose Weight and Feel Great

My beloved naturopath, Amy Hobson, told me about these medical school classmates, Jade and Keoni Teta.  They started training people in fitness while still high school students.  Then they both went on to study microbiology or the like.  After that, they looked around for a medical school that aligned with their research and their experience in training folks.   

They landed at John Bastyr Naturopathic College.   

I like these guys and their book -- The New ME Diet: Eat More, Work Out Less, and Actually Lose Weight While You Rest

Another one I found very useful for losing fat specifically.  Working with the carbohydrate tipping point below helps me to burn fat and still have enough energy for my vigorous workouts.  And life.

Don’t Get My Kindle Book Yet

Amazon Kindle has just published my book--  

The Wholesome Entrepreneur:

How to be a Successful Entrepreneur  

But don’t get this book yet. 

I’ll tell you why on November 25^th.  

Here's What Successful Entrepreneur, John Gallagher, Says about The Wholesome Entrepreneur – 

"I never would have become an entrepreneur without the tools I learned from William years ago. It blows my mind that ANYONE can learn these life saving tips in a manual. 

"For those of you who WANT to be entrepreneurs, you will learn how to remove the blocks from preventing you from realizing your dreams. Hint: There is one secret in this book that says "Just get to work!" 

"William's techniques take the whole human into account and really work. 

"For those who ARE entrepreneurs, you will learn what you need to do to keep yourself sane, healthy and happy. There is no way your business will ever be sustainable without following Williams 12 Secrets. 

"If you want to start your own business or already own one, you'd be insane not to read The Wholesome Entrepreneur." 

And Roger A. Rosenblatt MD, Vice Chair, Department of Family Medicine, U. Washington said:

“William, I never told you how much I enjoyed your book; I think it is brilliant. Practical, funny, and enormously supportive. You write like a dream.”

The book is great.  The full description at Amazon will help you to decide if it’s a fit for you. 

Go check it out.  See if it resonates with you.

Announcing the Seven Essential Secrets for a Magical Life

When I first met Otter, she hadn't learned to play yet...  

…Or if she had, she had forgotten she ever knew how.

Otter felt rushed all the time, always trying to catch up. Always trying to perform better to please THEM.

She felt anxious, sometimes helpless. Was she depressed? You tell me.

In The Seven Essential Secrets for a Magical Life Program, you get to follow Otter as I help her successfully regain her life.

Through seven concisely soulful videos and playful explorations, you will gain what I shared with Otter to help her live a life she loved wholeheartedly - body and soul.

The playful explorations bring the Secrets to life and help you to integrate them into your daily life.

These treasures have been tested in the crucible of life for centuries. And William shares these playful, simple, venerated strategies for living with his private clients to help them achieve their life goals. They have been tested.

If you want a soulful life with vision and heart, get this one. You'll like it.

It’s a gift to loyal readers, like you, dear one.  No fee.  Nada.

Your Sweet Heart

As you know, I am a recovering worrywart.  And as you have no-doubt heard, worry does not help anything.  And as you also no-doubt know, knowing that worry doesn’t help, is not enough to stop your worrying.  

Right? 

What does help?

This time honored meditation works.

Heart Breathing  

Sit quietly.  Phone off etc.  Breathe slowly and easily.   

Feel your fear, your worry.  See the images.  Now breathe all that into your heart.  I know, “Yikes.”  But trust me, your heart will be fine. 

Let your heart soften.  And continue to breathe in the worry, the fear, the pain. 

When you feel you have taken in as much as you can, you can start to exhale loving kindness phrases. 

For instance –

        May I be blessed.

        May she be blessed.

        May I be at peace.

        May I be safe and loved.

        May she be at peace. 

        May she be safe and loved.

You can make up any phrase that feels good to you.  Or if you’re worried about someone else, ask yourself what whould bless them.  Are you with me? 

Keep on with all of this until you feel at home and at peace in your heart. 

OK?

These Two Books Can Guide Your Heart 

I recommend reading Legacy of the Heart : The Spiritual Advantage of a Painful Childhood by Wayne Muller first. 

Muller is kind, gentle, and in your face truth telling at the same time.  He is a therapist and has a masters in divinity or the like.  He quotes Jesus, Buddha, Steven Levine, The Dalai Lama, and Rumi…  All my heroes. 

He offers the most useful meditations I have found for healing shame.  I recommend this highly. 

Comfortable with Uncertainty: 108 Teachings on Cultivating Fearlessness and Compassion by Pema Chodron. 

This lovely book deals with what it’s like to be human and having to live with uncertainty all the time.  The 108 teachings are one to one and half pages long.  I like to read a couple before bed. 

Walk in beauty, and may your sweet heart be at ease, 

William 

P.S.  My recent article -- Breakthrough with this Magical Phrase

Can also be quite useful for your worrywart.  Find it in my blog. (http://www.bodyandsoulmentor.net/MentorBlog/)  

P.P.S. You might enjoy my wonderful Life Giving Manual – Simply Serene -- Four Amazingly Powerful Ways to Be Instantly Alert and at Peace. It used to be $27, now you can get it and others for less than a subscription to Netflix.  (Click Mentoring Programs at www.BodyAndSoulMentor.com)

Breakthrough with this Magical Phrase

I discovered a very powerful phrase to help you create a life you would love to live. 

Warning:  Just because this is SIMPLE, don’t be deceived.  This incredibly powerful tool can change your life.

Here it is –

“I just ask, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if…’, and then I fill in the blank,” he explained. “Then I let go. More often than not, the thing I mentioned comes into my life.” - Chuck Pennington

In my generation, the word “cool’ works very well.  If cool doesn’t work for you, come up with something else.  The idea is to find a word that’s light, inviting, and fun.  Playful.  OK?

The construction of the sentence automatically does three things –

1.   Makes it light and playful, cool.

2.   Easily, allows you to let go of the request.  Letting go is one of the main steps in the law of attraction you may recall.

3.   When you fill in the blank, you make a picture and feel the results of the goal all at once.  Try it.  Notice what you feel and what you image.

Try some.  Make up some “wouldn’t it be cool ifs_______?”

Here’s one – Wouldn’t be cool if I had lots of energy?  Notice the energy you feel just saying it?

Craig’s List Magic 

One of my beloved clients uses this principle and then goes to Craig’s List (an online free classified ad service) where she immediately finds that which  would be cool.  Every time. 

Sabbatical Insight

As you know, I closed down my Body & Soul Mentor website recently.   

I asked myself, “If you create another membership site, what do you want to offer people…  What do you want people to have?  And how does that contribute to the world as a whole.” 

What was clear is that I wanted the same things I always want. 

1.   I want people to live lives they love wholeheartedly – body and soul.

2.   I want people to make a difference in their world and to be happily satisfied making that difference.  I want people to know they make a difference.

3.   I want a world that works for everyone.  I want people to make decisions that consider the consequences of their decisions on the 7^th generation to follow.

Now, here’s the cool part.

Fact. When people live lives they love, they are using their gifts and talents.  And when people use their gifts they make a difference in the world.  When a sufficient number of people do that then we have a world that works for everyone.

So…

Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone made decisions based on what’s best for the seventh generation to follow?

Wouldn’t it be cool if everyone made decisions that led to a world that worked for everyone?

 

Here’s one I’m working on now –

Wouldn’t it be cool if I didn’t have to impress anyone, and I could just be ordinary?

As Prayer

I use this magical phrase to pray for clients and other loved ones. 

For instance, wouldn’t it be cool if Sasha had tons of clients to help finance her college expenses?

What are you going to do with your one precious life?

What would be cool for you?  Make a bunch of these.  Say them all day long.  Use them to antidote limiting thoughts.  Use them to create a life you love wholeheartedly. 

Wouldn’t it be cool if you walked in beauty?
