When it comes to working with the mind there is an increasing number of tools available for use that don't require any special skills. All of these tools have to do with utilizing the mind. None is as complex or straight forward as meditation. Fly fisherman are experts at both open eyed meditation and manifestation. They actually become very good at using their intuition and psychic sense to seek out the fish and then directing the fly into the sight of the fish. [[Meditation]] for walkers or runners is a natural training step for meditation in the lotus position. Walkers sooner or later will out walk the constant chatter in their minds and come to the point where there is nothing. Then they are open to the Universal consciousness and the reception of intuitive thought, which may come as a revelation for some problem that the person is working on. Studies have shown that runners and walkers are smarter than average, could this be one of the reasons. There are two major tools that in the coming years will become the root of advanced communication one is meditation the other is prayer.

  Guided meditation can take on many forms, and all of them have to do with your mind taking a trip to where you will have a connection to your supra consciousness or your guides that will be able to connect you to all that you are. There are two main ways that I know of to relive parallel lives, or past lives, whichever you prefer. You can go into a parallel life using time line therapy or past life regression. [[Past life regression]] is a more comprehensive way of reviewing a lifetime. Here you will be able to go into a life and find out who was there with you from this lifetime, who your significant other was and who your children were, the key parts of your life including what you did for a living and of course how you died. Finding out how you died, can really help you out in this life, due to the phobias that could have resulted.  You also will discover what major lessons you learned in that lifetime. It is a great tool to go back and learn about your self.

Using [[Time Line Therapy]] a therapist can go into your past and get rid of phobias, addictions and anything that is holding you back and limiting you in this lifetime.

 I have two lifetimes in France in the seventeen hundreds that I remember. One was during the French Revolution when I was a four year old boy. My parents were nobility and  I remember that they were frantic,  as they knew that the revolutionaries were coming to take them to the guillotine. I can only guess that the kids of nobility suffered the same fate as there parents, because my Mom with tears streaming down both cheeks put me in a chest to keep me safe with hopes that she would be spared or her sister would get to me in time. Alas in a strange twist of fate she was ambushed by highwaymen just outside of Paris. I died in that chest, terrified, for fear they would find me. For me reliving this past was traumatic and I don't really remember if there were any major lessons learned. I would think that if I brought fears into another life it would have been claustrophobia, and abandonment.

In an ironic twist of fate I was a highwayman in my next life, robbing the rich as they came into Paris. I was in my early twenties when I was stabbed in the back by my best friend who unknown to me was in a tryst with my wife. He wanted to be the leader of the highwaymen and promised her everything, so they lured me to a room and while she held me in her embrace he stabbed me in the back. In this lifetime I have an itchy spot where the knife went in.  

          I have a client who has a daughter with asthma, which was at times severe I wanted to find out whether I could use time line therapy in order to treat her. I began my treatment by connecting with my guides and then connecting with her guides. Her guides agreed and brought me back to a time in the fifties or sixties, where she was a middle aged woman driving in her car on a dirt mountain road, home to her six children. She was a heavy smoker and had a cigarette in her mouth, and with two hands on the steering wheel. She was driving fast as one of her kids was sick. She started coughing and the cigarette flew out of her mouth onto the floorboards in the passenger side. After she finished coughing she tried to retrieve her smoke, unfortunately she never found it and lost control of the car, which then plunged over the bank and killed her. She spent a lot of time in remorse for leaving her kids and vowed that she would never smoke again. So in this life she developed asthma to make sure she wouldn’t smoke cigarettes.

            One of the easiest ways I know to learn your totem animal is by having a totem animal retrieval ceremony, which is a guided meditation. A totem animal is a power spirit and can help you connect with your guides and retrieve your [[power words]]. Your totem animal can teach you a lot about yourself. Bear medicine, which is some of the strongest medicine you can have, is about awakening the power of the unconscious or the subtle body.

The bear can teach us how to go within to find the resources necessary for survival. They can also teach you how to draw on inner stores of energy and essence even those who have never been tapped or accessed. Meditating and working with bear medicine will help you to go within your souls den to find the answers.

             There are thousands of different animal totems a person can have and what makes it unique is that the animal chooses you and not the other way around. Everyone has a totem animal, and in fact will have many during your life. If they were [[medicine men]] or women in the past then they could be shape shifters, which is a person able to use all animal medicine. I know of one woman who has had many totem animals and has worked through turtles to owls to crows. It really doesn’t matter what totem you have, some people will start out with hummingbird medicine, which would be a good one for healers as the medicine has knowledge of how to use flowers for healing and how to create medicines. It will also help you find joy and sweetness in any situation. As you can see hummingbird medicine is not weak medicine.
