Yeah, I always tell people it's I feel like I get up every day and watch people watch flowers bloom.

It's

like watching slow motion you know there's beautiful slow motion photographs of flowers coming up out of the ground and then opening up and turning a yacht. And I feel like every time I'm working with somebody that's what I'm doing I'm watching the flower of mental health bloom in that

person. That's a beautiful analogy you know that it's just it is because and everybody opens at a different the difference. Like some say lock up for a long time. But if they hang around long enough and you keep pointing them toward their health they start to feel better even though what they came in with might still be a problem. The rest of their life gets better. So that's what makes this totally different in the field is that it's not what word is not the doing of it. So if you're focused on doing your your caught up in in the old way of looking at things it's just understanding and once we get an understanding of how this thing works. We can use it like when I understood that microwaves work through radio waves I could get one and use it to cook my food with and but I had to get an understanding of what it was in order to to use it so understanding how thought works understanding that we have an eight health understanding that we are pure love. That that's what love is is a word that describes the energy of all things as it comes through each one of us.

Before thought

before thought before thought before

we think our way away from it accidentally. And you know I really think that for for me and so many people that I've known over the years just knowing that you're safe. And what I mean by that is it doesn't matter what's going on in the world that you can be safe in your own consciousness. You can be safe in the knowledge that you can make of life whatever you want to make of it and you can be safe in the knowledge that wisdom will will save the day you know that your wisdom will keep you safe. It's an incredibly beautiful thing and it's it frees you up you're not afraid. You know I used to I used to worry like every time I made a decision about you know taking a job or starting something or doing something or working with a certain client that was known to be difficult or something I would worry about it. And I think oh what am I going to have to face and all this stuff. And you know that went away when I learned this because I thought that's just my insecure thinking it's nothing to do with the situation. You know I can trust that if I stay calm and I keep my wits about me and keep my bearings. I'll know what to do. And your life is so different it's hard when we talk about coming from wisdom and people think oh you have to be sitting on a mountain contemplating or you know wearing robes or something. Wisdom is just common sense that arises in the moment and it's a new idea it's something you hadn't thought of before. The difference between wisdom and figuring out is the only thing you have to figure out with is what you already know. And wisdom is the doorway to the unknown that you haven't thought of yet. But if you are open to it it comes to you.

It is it's really it's it's like a great safety net. I was listening to public radio the other day and they were doing TED talks and this woman was talking about her mother. And her mother is totally blind now from cataracts. And so she was describing how she went through the house and how she never ran into anything. She was she would use her sense of touch to get around the house and then she talked about as a young girl she was a trapeze artist. And one of the things that she did with her partner was blind trapeze so they would both have more blinds over their eyes and they would flip through the air and grab each other's hands. And they were able to do that without having their eyes. And in a sense it's kind of like letting yourself trust in that deeper intelligence that you can get through life. And that's she said that's now that's what her mother is so comfortable with her blindness. She saw that she could rely on herself. Yeah, I mean, can you imagine that being in a trapeze and not being able to see your partner and just having to have total faith in that but that's kind of life, right? We were always going into the unknown and we're always doing things that we've never done before but we get caught up in the past and then we get afraid. But if you let go of that and really trust yourself, it's amazing what you can do when human beings do. I mean, I don't know that I could do that but I'm not a trapeze artist so you know it's like, but there's a lot of people say, oh I could never be a therapist. Because how can you listen to people's problems or how do you know what to say to them? And I said, well, I don't listen to their problems and I know what to say because my wisdom comes in and tells me what to say. I don't have to think about it. And as a young therapist, they used to terrify me because I thought I should know what they did and I didn't even know what I

should do.
