How to Experience Perfection

What is the feeling of perfection? Is it a noun or a verb? Perfecting something is to practice it over and over.

There was a story I saw about a man who made the most sublime noodles in China. He bent and strained his body in the perfecting of the noodles. He was de-formed by the process. Or reformed or informed but certainly not escaping being shaped by the thing he chose to do most.

What do you choose to do most? What is forming you? What are you bending to and allowing into your attention? Does it buoy you in times of stress? Does it bring out more peace, joy, love?

If we look at perfection as a thing we can never attain then why would anyone bother? Our perfection is already here. It's in the way our bodies knit together from just two other cells. It's in the way our innate intelligence knows that this part will be an eyelash cell and this part will be a little toe cell. This is the perfection with which we are made. We don't have to learn how to do it because the part of us that is connected to all of creation is our subconscious and it is running all the time. We can communicate with it through feelings and visualization or daydreams.

When you spend just five minutes thinking about a place you'd like to be or a place that you felt comfortable, loved and fulfilled, you are creating that experience cellularly as well.

Try this: close your eyes and think of a time when you experienced the most love and acceptance you can remember ever having. Give yourself some time to expand on this thought. It can be a real time or imaginary. Take inventory of your five senses in this time. What does it smell like there? What is the temperature? Are you inside or outside? Are there others with you? What sounds and colors are around you? Take your time and really experience in your thoughts and feelings of this time of love and acceptance.

Now let yourself come back to this reading. You may feel more peaceful, relaxed and warm. You are getting in touch with the perfect part of you that helps to create what you are thinking.

We are in the process of perfecting ourselves and enjoying that can be perfection!

Renee talks about OCD

Sometimes we encounter problems/symptoms that seem like they come out of nowhere. They don't. They come from past traumas and interference that has not been addressed. And those challenges can teach us about ourselves.



Do you have a challenge that you don't understand? Come in and find the cause.

No Disease in Perfection!

When one gets to the point that they are ready to really know what is going on with their health and peace of mind that's when the real healing begins! B.E.S.Technique is not a cure it leads one to the perfection with which they were made. And you know there is no disease in perfection.

pH, Anxiety and Depression

For years I have been introducing people to the concept of pH regulation in the body. pH is the potential for hydrogen. But what it means in health is how acid or alkaline our body is at any given time. I have been checking saliva pH during exams for years in order to show people how their emotions play a pivotal role in our body's regulation.

Now a study from the University of Iowa, shows it! The article published by Scientific American describes how this is demonstrated. It also re-enforces that exercise plays a key role in helping anxiety-attack and depression sufferers neutralize the acid build up in the brain causing anxiety.

There is help for anxiety! There is treatment! And it's easy, painless and really works!

Here's what a practice member says, "I have had better feelings and haven't had any anxiety attacks and back pain no longer exists."

This person had an attack on the table during a visit one day and we were able to get it under control and dissipate it painlessly and without drugs. The side effect was RELIEF!!

Fear or Love? Read What Renee has to say!

Stepping Fearlessly

"Do you want to walk in fear, or do you want to walk in love? " asks my dear friend, Dr. Tanya English. I'm not sure if she is the one who coined the phrase or not, regardless, I often hear the words in her voice inside my head. It's a question I pose to myself in the midst of worry or confusion. It helps me to see the intention behind my thinking patterns--to know if I am making choices based on fear or based on Trust, openness, and desire. The latter, of course, being the kinds of choices I wish to now make.

Fear is restrictive. It causes tension in the muscles and in the mind. Fear-based thinking doesn't allow for change or new ideas. And for many of us who are habituated into fear-based thinking, it's often what comes up first.

I was recently invited to take a trip this summer to West Virginia for a music festival, and although I was immediately excited about the prospect, some anxieties quickly crept up. In my 12+ years of mothering, I have yet to take even a weekend vacation without my kids--let alone a camping trip up in the mountains for an entire week. I used to be afraid to leave my children for any length of time because I worried that something would happen to them. And I wanted to make sure I was always near enough--just in case.

One thing my divorce and the subsequent taking turns at child-rearing has taught me over the last year is how to let go of worry and simply Trust that my children will be all right outside of my watchful eye. And they are all right. They are better than all right. They survive without me hovering. They survive, and even thrive, in the hands of others. And their absence often makes me appreciate their presence that much more. So, when I think of leaving them at their dad's for a week while I take a summer road trip, I breathe easy. My perception shifts: they--and I--walk in Love.

When I first read about this music festival that takes place in the mountains in West Virginia, my other knee-jerk, fear-based thoughts were "how am I going to get up there?" and "what if I freak out and can't go any further." My last ride into the mountains years ago had me stuffing my head under a sweatshirt, hiding tears from my then 4-year-old daughter. I began to wonder if I was going to be reliving that scenario. And camping? The closest I had ever come to sleeping in a tent was hanging out in my friend's backyard in 7th grade until my parents came to get me at midnight. So "how will I shit in a port-o-potty?" and "who is going to tell the mosquitoes to leave me alone for 4 days?" suddenly seemed like really logical questions to have.

But I stopped myself and posed a different question. That one about walking in fear or walking in love. I thought about all the amazing adventures I could have on this trip, like seeing parts of the country I've never been to and the prospects of jamming with some incredible musicians. I thought about how luxurious the scenery would be at nightfall and the tranquility that would wash over me as I doze off to sleep under a starlit sky. I thought about all the notebook paper I would fill, being able to catch the wind of inspiration at any given time.

I also thought about the company I would be keeping along the way, and realized that a part of me was fearing my own fears. Having been ridiculed and unaccepted by others in the past for having anxieties, I realized I was worried about my fears being intolerable to my travelling companion. But that, too, is fearful thinking. Instead, I needed to simply allow myself to feel the fear and then still choose to walk in love. Only from there can I accept my Self wholly and step into another grand adventure. It is one step at a time, this shift from fear to love, and when I step into life with an open heart, what I find is that I am met with the same openness and acceptance as I emit.

Author of "Chicken Soup" talks about B.E.S.Technique

Listen to Jack talk about my instructors in B.E.S.T!

Jack Canfield co-author of "Chicken Soup for the Soul" talks about how Bio Energetic Synchronization Technique has changed his life. Dr. M.T. Morter, Jr., the founder and developer of B.E.S.T. technique, and his children, Dr. Ted, Dr. Sue, along with Dr. Blake Brown are, like me, passionate about helping people break through to their own power for healing.

We are all healers and neutralizing interference to that power creates an internal environment that allows healing to be present. And...it's for EVERYONE!
