SANDRA CABOT writes about metaphysics for business owners …
Jack Canfield’s book “Chicken Soup for the Soul” has inspired a great number of people. It is one of many really good books on Metaphysics which open up the possibilities of changing one’s thinking to more positive ways. Wayne Dyer has written many books on the subject, and his books have become more simple in their understanding as time goes on.
School education primarily is set up to educate people in numeracy and, in England, the USA and Australia, literacy (usually called English). It also offers practical logical ways of thinking. Asian races, such as Chinese and Indian put a lot of emphasis on these subjects, particularly in Australia where they make their children do extra curriculum in their home time.
However, it does not offer one of the most important skills known to man: Metaphysics (beyond the physical).
Children have a real connection with their spiritual selves. However, many parents are uncomfortable when the children talk to Angels or “invisible” friends. They discourage their children and tell them they are not real, except in fairytale stories. The children are taught to make these adjustments so they fit in with society.
Some children are more sensitive than others. I remember being four years old, put to bed in a darkened room to cope with Measles. An angel visited me frequently when I lay on my own in bed, comforting me. My family reacted with horror when I mentioned this. I quickly learnt to keep my experiences to myself. Over the years, I found there were times when I really needed help. These were the times I particularly found the presence of Angels supporting me. I was injured severely when a car ploughed into my stationary car. It took a long while to recover, as I knew painkillers products were addictive and refused to take them despite the pain. This led me to find out that I could control pain through Hypnotherapy. This therapy was so impressive that I decided to find out more about it and finally decided to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist and Master Practitioner of NLP.
I also found out that Kinesiology and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) were very beneficial and effective. EFT was particularly effective when I learnt Speed Reading to assist me with my business courses and reading matter. The course was run by a Scientist from USA and I went from reading 400 words per minute to 1,700 words per minute through tapping.
When I decided to learn how to be an Entrepreneur while visiting friends in the USA, I found that Metaphysics really opened many doors. All up, I have spent about nine months in the USA mainly invited to stay with very influencial people who also embraced Metaphysics. For example, I was able to meet with some of the Dupont family. The only time I stayed in hotels was when the snow prevented flights out of Washington, enroute to various parts of the States.
I was fortunate to be a participant in some very wonderful workshops run by Stuart Wilde and Denise Linn. I was able to learn that my experiences with Angels was OK and normal. I learnt that Visualisation was the most powerful tool to manifest things that seemed impossible. I learnt that there are techniques to protect oneself from harm. I learnt that it is my birthright to ask for things (my childhood was impregnated with the words “Don’t ask for anything”).
Whenever my business gets a bit quiet, I realise that it is time to put aside “quiet time” and allow myself to visualise things the way I would like it to be. It is an essential part of making one’s life and work. Otherwise, there is no time to do these things. Instead of panicking, it is just “time to do Metaphysics”.
When I was first working as a Personal Assistant to a Senior Partner for the largest firm of Chartered Accountants, I used to spend my time on the bus trip to and from work, visualising my techniques of typing and shorthand. I became the most accurate typist and shorthand writer in the office and the Partners of the firm always wanted me to help them with special important projects. I didn’t realise at the time that this was Metaphysics.
I visited New York and was walking past the theatres in Broadway with a friend when I noticed two dark looking energies coming out of the crowd and following me. I turned around and faced them, and they then withdrew, merging back into the crowd. My friend was amazed as he thought we were going to be mugged. He knew my energy was strong and that I had spent time keeping it strong. It really impressed him.
I was living in Canberra and had two cats. Some cruel person had poisoned one of them. I did some healing work on the cat and took it to the Vet to have a drip put in. The Vet said the cat would most likely die within an hour. I continued to send healing energy to the cat. In the morning the Vet rang me to tell me to collect the cat. He told me that I would have to nurse it all week. I did some further energy work on the cat and when we returned home, he jumped out of the car and went to play with the other cat as though nothing had happened. Not long after I had moved house, the next door neighbour was on the news saying someone had fatally poisoned her dog.
Whenever I need help with internet issues, someone with the right skills just happens into my life to assist me. The owner of BizExpress gave me great advice when I needed help with Google Adwords. Stewart Dawes is helping me with SEO. I had paid others to help with SEO and they failed to do what Stewart Dawes has done. I am now at the top for Hypnotherapists in Sydney.
From time to time I run workshops to teach people some of the skills I have learnt or developed. I have learnt that it is OK to have healing energy and to pass it on to others. I used to do this on a “one to one” basis from an early age, commencing with sick animals and graduating to people. I was frightened by this energy as the people I knew didn’t seem to have these skills. At one stage I stopped doing it and tried to act “normal”. This didn’t last long as people sensed that my energy was strong and that my advice was sound. I have now devised ways that others can benefit and they learn quickly that they can do simple things that will help them with their personal lives and their businesses.
