Now, Off to Get Ice Cream: Changing the Channel in Your Monkey Mind

Thoughts come and go. Unfortunately for too many they don't go. That's the "monkey mind" which programs obsessive thought patterns. Those, in turn, can trigger self-defeating behavior. 

Common is the client for a tarot reading who can't stop thinking about what the boss said to them 10 days ago. As a result - and this is why they are worried - they are giving off hostile vibes in the office. They know it but they can't break through that force field. Meanwhile, others in that workplace are distancing themselves. 

The good news for them and everyone else suffering with all that is going on in their heads is this: It is possible to let thoughts go. That is, they can change the channel in their heads. As addiction expert JF Benoist explains in the best-seller "Addicted to the Monkey Mind," children do that all the time. 

Benoist provides the anecdote of the little one who falls, gets up and starts crying. They are caught in being preoccupied with what to them is the end of the world. Then dad comes along and says, "Let's go out for ice cream." Immediately the tears stop and the child's consciousness flips into another version of now.

Adults can open themselves to the "Off to get ice cream" thought-changer. The boss gruffly says that you have to respond to emails more quickly. You are in shock because often the job involves in-person interaction with clients which means you can't be always checking email.

If you are willing to leave that emotional force field, you can move on to the problem-solving part. You won't be trapped in your thoughts. 

What to you evokes "going for ice cream?" It could be plugging into visualizing a day trip this weekend or anticipating curling up with the dog on the couch to watch Netflix. The initial thought is released. You zero in on how to handle the boss' mandate.

From the get-go in top businesses, the push is to develop solutions, not be stuck in a problem. For human beings most of those problems come from our monkey minds.

Painful Long Half-Life of Trauma: Did Prince William Marry His Mother?

Image
  It was September 6, 1997. A number of psychics such as myself entered a grief trance. We became one with the trauma of Princes William and Harry as they walked behind the coffin of their mother Diana. The pain, I keep picking up, likely hasn’t abated in substantive ways. (Currently, it is agreed, placing them in that forever visual of their personal histories was thoughtless and cruel.) Here we are. It is said that boys marry their mother and Harry seemed to do exactly that in choosing Meghan Markle. Like Diana, she was never going to fit in. There was going to be lots of hurt to go around.  The surprise, though, is that the supposedly less fragile William might also have married his mother in choosing Kate Middleton. We don’t know that, do we? But there is reason to speculate that’s might have been exactly what occurred. Amid the conspiracy theories circling about MIA Middleton (There has been a recent photo op of her mother driving her in car), is this one in the 03-11-24 edi

The Elite Psychics - Cassanda Vanzant Provides Solution for Getting Clarity, Finally

Image
  Ever since The New York Times saluted the Tarot in April 2021as a tool for self-awareness and introspection, there has been massive interest in psychic readings. More recently the media designated psychics as the new therapists. However, that left those seeking guidance in a pickle. The issue is: How to select a psychic who is 1) authentic 2) caring and 3) will provide the results you need.  Long-time psychic Cassandra Vanzant observed that confusion. Her Ah-Ha moment was to develop a fresh approach to the "delivery" of the psychic connection. That is The Elite Psychics.  Excited about this breakthrough development in psychic services, I requested an exclusive interview with Vanzant.  *************************************************** THE ELITE PSYCHICS Q: With all the internet psychic sites to choose from, what makes your site, The Elite Psychics, different? A: I’ve worked for quite a few of these psychic online companies. Most prefer quantity over quality. Out of the pla

J. Michael Cline's Pain

Image
"Fandango founder [J. Michael Cline] left heartbreaking suicide note before jumping from NYC luxury hotel: ‘I can’t explain the pain’" -  New York Post , July 18, 2024  Cline, a very successful serial entrepreneur, was not alone in being unable to articulate his pain. So many suffering human beings decide to have a Tarot reading because they are unable to tell even themselves 1) What hurts and 2) How overwhelming that pain is. Our society demands that its members always be in complete control. That's the face you have to present to the world. The Tarot reader and the client work together to bring the distress to the surface. The New York Times explained how the Tarot is a tool for awareness.  Sometimes the pain is rooted in the unreal, such as the ruminations of the clinically depressed. They experience themselves as failures, on every level.  It could be temporary. There are those setbacks such the loss of the job.  Or it could be long-term as with chronic health proble
