Conscious Being - A book that can change your life!

I'm so pleased to share this amazing book that I have had the great privilege to work on with my brilliant friend and colleague, TJ Woodward! TJ is a recovering addict and spiritual counselor. We met while working at a rehab program and I've always been super impressed with his work, which is so closely aligned with mine.

He wrote this bestselling book Conscious Being - Awakening to Your True Nature about a year ago, and together we decided to enhance it in a second edition to really help people delve deeper into the work and learn how to apply the tools to their own lives. We now have questions and exercises for further reflection at the end of each chapter, which you can do on your own, with a partner or in a group.

Here's a description of the book (click here to read more)...

The new edition of the book will be available in Kindle e-book form on Amazon for $4.99 on June 4th-5th. If you buy it on either of those days, you can sign up to get a free 12-day e-course on the book. You can find that link here.

On Monday June 5th at 2pm PDT, TJ and I will be interviewed about the book on Phillipe SHOCK Matthew's YouTube show. You can find that here.

And finally, if this book speaks to you and you'd like to go even deeper in exploring it, TJ and I will be hosting a 12-part online Zoom webinar book club starting in the fall of this year. We will cover each chapter in much greater detail and guide people through the exercises we've created.

What are the infinite possibilities for what this book can contribute to your life?

Tool of the Month

You may have noticed that I've been creating a lot more lately! This is bringing me a tremendous amount of fun and joy. But I didn't used to always feel his way. I used to think that I was so incredibly busy and so tired that I couldn't possibly handle any more on my plate. Everything felt like a burden.

This is an example of functioning from a scarcity mentality - not enough time, not enough energy. I was running on adrenaline on an empty tank and this was a huge factor in creating the Lyme Disease/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome I suffered with for almost 20 years.

What I've come to realize is that I'm an OCC - or Obsessive-Compulsive Creator. The more stuff I have going on, especially when it's stuff I enjoy, the better I feel and the more enthusiasm and energy it creates for me, which then inspires me to create even more!

I'm also somewhat ADD with a short attention span, so having more diversity of to-do's, etc. keeps things interesting for me. I used to make myself wrong for not being able to focus on one thing (especially something very serious and boring) but now I realize I have incredible capacities for multi-tasking and that I actually function better when I flip back and forth between different projects (as I write this I have 42 tabs open across 3 browser windows!).

In Access Consciousness® we talk about how unless you have 5-10 things going on at any given time, you will go from being an OCC to OCCC - Obsessive-Compulsive Creator of Crap. In other words, you'll take all that creative energy and channel it into problems,trauma and drama if you don't put it into something you enjoy, something that contributes to expanding your life and making it greater.

What if you could have this level of enthusiasm for your life and your creations? How much fun could you have creating your life? Who or what could you add to your life that would expand your life and create more for you?
