We Get To Choose How We Perceive Our Abuse
photo credit: Otto Yamamoto To move out of victim consciousness means that no matter what an abuser does to us, we GET TO CHOOSE how we think, and feel about it. Our perpetrators do not get to determine our emotional well being. Why would we give them that power over us? We don’t have to — we…

The Body Reflects Our Beliefs
Each of us has adopted a bevy of thoughts with a central, most often limiting, belief that rules; these are our core beliefs. Core beliefs generally originate in childhood. Often they come from a thought lineage that has been passed down to us from previous generations and that consists of both positive and negative beliefs. However, when I use…

The Three Faces of Victim
An Overview of the Drama Triangle By Lynne Forrest Whether we know it, or not, most of us react to life as victims. Whenever we refuse to take responsibility for ourselves, we are unconsciously choosing to react as victim. This inevitably creates feelings of anger, fear, guilt or inadequacy and leaves us feeling betrayed, or…
The Importance of “Feeling our Feelings …”
I do understand the importance of “feeling our feelings” in the process of emotional healing. I DO value the part of the process that recognizes and releases emotion; feelings are energetic impulses that act like messengers whose job is to report to us the state of our current vibrational frequency, and to show us the unhappy…
Trinity or Triangle? The Faces of The Divine Trinity and It’s Shadow
In the Bible we are told that God made man in his own image (Gen 1:27). Christianity, as well as many other ancient teachings are founded on the revelation of God as being a holy trinity, “three-in-one”: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word (Son), and the Holy Spirit: and these…
Lessons For Kids From The Bully Mat …
Often when our key team players and family members come together, we bring our youngsters (children and grandchildren). It’s great fun for all, even those inevitable times when there’s some kind of fall-out between kids, for then it becomes a learning opportunity for all. During such fall-out, we use the real life situation to teach the children…
Parallel Paths and Polar Opposites …
Have you ever had the thought that just maybe there are people around us who are living parallel paths to our own? That perhaps they, simply by living their own lives, grant us an opportunity, to see the choices we did NOT make, the paths we did not take? I have had someone who has lived…
Learning to Love Ourselves
I often talk to clients about the importance of “loving ourselves.” They often nod their heads in agreement –after all, it sounds good — but, if the truth be told, most of us have no idea of how to go about doing this thing called “loving ourselves,” and for many of us the whole idea sounds a bit…
Teaching Children Freedom & Self-Responsibility Through The Guiding Principles of Reality
Our team is launching a pilot program to help kids stay off the Bully Triangle. One of our finest local elementary schools has graciously agreed to be our model school for the Reality Formula for Kids. (So watch for The Reality Formula for Kids,* “it may be coming to a school near you soon! At least we HOPE…
Are You Making A Case ‘Against’ or ‘For’ You?
We do make a case, don’t we? We all do. Every one of us makes a strong case in our mind against some ‘thing’ we believe should be different. And we are sure we are right. We use the ‘facts’ we gather from others who share our stance, as well as the ‘evidence’ we have collected from our…
The Things We Teach Our Children …
The video of the disgruntled dad who taught his ungrateful daughter a lesson with his Colt 45 and her laptop on Facebook was brought to my attention recently. I was asked my opinion. I thought about it several times before I responded, and at one point, was tempted not to respond at all. The comments I read were steeped in…
Dealing With Criticism
It is helpful to remind ourselves about the basic guiding principles of Reality when we are dealing with the criticism of others. When we get reactive to criticism, we turn critical, just like them, and that only makes things worse. One of the basic guiding principles tells us that those around us are mere reflections of…
Bullying the Bully In The Classroom Does Not Work — So What Does?
Our team has been researching to see what “remedies” are being offered for “bullies in the classroom,” and what we are finding is, “not much.” There are some good guidelines to try and safeguard it from happening, placing the brunt of responsibility on already over-burdened teachers with numbers beyond their capacity in the classroom to keep…
How Are Bullies Made, Really?
I have been learning so much about the origins of bully energy from writing my workbook for Teachers and Parents on Bully-Free Consciousness this past summer. I have taken my work with adults to the kids in our life and allowed them to show me what kids do with these concepts! I find that kids catch on…

My Limiting Story About You …
I have carried a limiting story about you. Now don’t pretend you don’t have them too — stories about the world based on often limiting judgments and assumptions about literally everything and everyone you know. This is not a good or bad thing. It’s a human thing! Creating ‘stories’ is something most all of us, if not every human being, shares…
Mind Chatter
The mind keeps us engaged with its incessant chatter. Its purpose is obvious. It must keep up a constant chattering to hold us captive in our own unique, designed-just-for-us-fear-based story. To allow any space in that mental run-on would be to risk the danger of our discovering that we are not the stressful, limiting, and exceedingly…
2012, A Year of Decision — Will We Go Forward or Back?
Happy New Year! I want to thank you, and all of my readers, for your tremendous support throughout the past year! Your responses to my blog posts, and other writings inspire me to keep writing about the principles and tools of awareness that have helped me and those around me to bring greater harmony and more peace into our lives…
Peace, Our Choice
We live in such a beautiful world, a garden of endless possibility. If we believe life is a junkyard, we get to live there. We can be the “junkyard dog!” If we believe it’s all about pomp & ceremony, we experience that, or we might choose a worldview that lands us in a cosmopolitan world of glitter & crime, or…
Melodrama or A Passionate Life?
I recently listened to a friend vocalize protest against people she described as being “so melodramatic.” She said her stomach clenches whenever she gets around people who are “into drama,” and then confided to me that she had long ago decided not to live her life with dramatic display, but with introspective decorum instead. I understand. I am a person who has been guilty of…
Counting Our Blessings, Christmas, 2011
I decided to share a Christmas letter with you counting blessings for 2011. May it inspire you to count your own! Greetings! I pray this letter finds you and yours enjoying a peaceful, if not joyful, season, and that you are looking forward to a bright new year! Since the holiday season is a time to remember back over the…
Hand in Hand With Source
During my daily practice recently I was, as I often am, visited by fears of unkind possibilities and ominous things to come. I felt the panic that comes with thinking thoughts like, “bad times are coming and I don’t think I can deal with them.” Recognizing that I was getting caught up in the fear swirl generated by such thoughts, I turned inward…
How Do We Get Out Of The Victim Loop?
Recently a subscriber asked this question: “How I can be an observer of my being in observer consciousness? How can I pull back from my own observations of the manifestations of my own thought processes in order to see clearly where I am going wrong and where I can alter course to go right?? All I can see is the fog of my own thoughts (results of…
