The Power of You
Ever wanted to know who you really are at this time of your life?
The present will reveal who you are and what is up to you.
The past is a story you have been telling yourself and the future is beyond your control.” Man plans, god laughs.”
You dream every night and your dreams are messages from your subconscious mind. The pictures you see are the languages of the subconscious mind.
Structures, objects, drinking vessels, body of water, animals and barriers are symbols which represent the unique you. You are one-of-a- kind. There are no two people alike. Even identical twins are not identical!
Pay attention to your dreams for they are real and customized to provide answers to the questions you so desperately seek about your life.
The forest game is a visualization exercise to help you understand the power of your subconscious mind. Do not be afraid because the subconscious mind is love and will never betray you.
Are you ready? The time is now!
Richard Weintraub is a spiritual teacher who utilizes visualizations, storytelling and creative thinking to help individuals discover the hidden truths and talents that like deep within themselves.
The forest game is his signature exercise and utilizes a psycho-spiritual approach (mind, body and spirit) to empower people to promote self-love and confront fear for what it is a bully and bogeyman.
Richard promotes learning to ask the right questions is more important than seeking the right answers.
Are you prepared to answer the following questions?
Is it worth it? What is it really about? Are you doing your best? Are you looking where you never thought to look? Are you paying attention to your dreams?
