The Law of Sobriety by Sherry Gaba, LCSW

admin — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 21:07:23 +0000

Coming September 1, 2010 from HCI Books….
The Law of Sobriety combines the power of positive thinking with real action steps; you will transform your life by shifting your focus from addiction to behaviors that align with sobriety. While working at the high-profileMalibu Treatment Center in California, Gaba began to develop a working model for combining the spiritual focus of the Law of Attraction with the real work necessary to help anyone suffering from addiction to alcohol, drugs, sex, gambling, or other addictions. In The Law of Sobriety, she shows how anyone in recovery can connect with a universal life force to create a life filled with harmony and peace. By using the seven action steps Gaba details, recovery from addiction becomes about the new life to be embraced instead of about the addiction itself, and gives anyone in recovery the real tools necessary to create and maintain sobriety through purpose and a meaningful life.

Are You Holding Yourself Hostage? Michael Beckwith Opens Our Mind

admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:59:11 +0000

Everyday I work with my clients to deal with the false beliefs they have about themselves and their world in order to enable the creative power necessary to create something new in their life~the results they want. We feel out of sorts and in pain when we deny who we really are and live to make others happy from our survival instinct as a child.

I read this section in Michael Bernard Beckwith’s called “ Identity Theft Checklist” in his book, Spiritual Liberation and I feel it is important to share a part of it with you.

Identity Theft Checklist by Michael Beckwith

Countless times a day individuals hold themselves hostage to the false beliefs they have about themselves, all the wile demanding ransom from a world that is powerless to give what they are unwilling to give themselves: self-love, self-respect, and self-appreciation for their own spirit, beauty, wisdom, and creativity. When you surrender your identity to the outer world you become trapped in the dilemna of authentic self-expression versus superficial social expectation. Do this long enough and existential identity crisis occurs because you have stolen your identity and replaced it with a mask you wear to present yourself to the world. You may put a stop to this masquerade when you empower yourself to take self-responsibility for your life.

You are gracing the planet now. How do you want to live this precious human incarnation that has been given to you? As you explore your responses to the following identity theft checklist, practice honest self-observation without judging your findings:

How often do you withhold your authentic feelings or opinions to keep the peace, to not rock the boat?

When you interact with others, do you play small so that others may feel better about themselves? Or do you exaggerate your virtues to appear superior to others?

Do you try on different personas to determine which woud be the most impressive and convicing under certain circumstances and in specific environments?

Do you continue to live under a belief system that no longer serve you so that other family members or friends won’t get upset?

Do you automatically accept others’ assessment of your identity without examining whether or not they vibe with your own inner sense of who you are?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Take some time with these questions and notice how your body reacts; what physical sensations occur when you are not in alignment with who you really are.
Notice the stories you make up about situations before anything is actually occurring, and what actions you take because of that story.
Notice how you feel energetically when you give your power away.
Understand that your reactions, interpretations, judgements, habits, actions are old conditioning and you need to take new actions to replace your old unconscious way of being in the world.

This is really scary for a lot of people because they think no one will accept them and they will be alone, abandoned and suffer. Another story!

Live your BEST life!

Loving you,
Marilyn O’Malley

How to create harmonious relationships in 3 simple steps

admin — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 18:28:10 +0000

Your subconscious mind is like a recording machine that loyally reproduces whatever you impress on it.

You are the cause (your thinking/feeling/acting self) ~ what shows up in your life is the effect.

This is why it is important for you to live the rule: Be that which you wish to create in the world!

What you impress consistently upon your subconscious mind creates the effects that show up in your life.

How to create harmonious relationships in 3 simple steps

1: As you would want people to think about you, think about them as you would want to be thought about by others.

2: As you would want people to feel about you, feel about others in the manner you want others to feel about you.

3: As you would want people to act toward you, act toward others the way you want others to act towards you.

This works! Practice this everyday, all day long. Try it for a month and let me know the new results you are getting!

This practice supports living your passions.

It is important that you be consistent with your practice.

You can’t have loving feelings towards someone and then turn around and gossip about them to someone else.

Gossiping causes negative effects!

To Your Success

Live your Best Life, Always!

The Benefits of Meditation for People In Recovery

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 17:22:01 +0000

You can hardly open a major news publication
these days without seeing yet another scientific
study raving about the incredible benefits of meditation.

Meditation has been proven to extend your life…
create more happiness…increase inner peace…
lower stress levels…increase mental clarity…
and resolve long-standing emotional problems,
including fear, anxiety, depression, anger,
and substance abuse.

And with nothing but bad news everywhere you
turn (the economy, politics, health scares),
people are smothering under a blanket of stress.

Unfortunately, many people don’t have the time
(or patience) to invest the years of practice
required to master the art of meditation (a most
effective stress-buster).

Now, thanks to my friend Bill Harris, you don’t
have to…

Bill’s company, Centerpointe Research Institute,
has created a proprietary audio technology called
Holosyn which instantly (and effortlessly) puts
you into states of deep meditation–literally at
the push of a button.

If you’ve had trouble meditating, or just want to
accelerate (and deepen) your current practice, you
can start enjoying the physical, emotional, and
spiritual benefits of deep meditation instantly…

…the very first time you use Holosync.

Many Zen monks and at least two Zen masters use
Holosync–as do many of the world’s top personal
growth teachers, including Jack Canfield (co-author
of the New York Times Best-selling Chicken Soup for
the Soul books), best-selling relationship authors
Gay and Katie Hendricks, and meditation teacher and
Yoga Journal columnist Sally Kempton.

In fact, nearly one million people (in all but 3
countries in the world!) have used Holosync to
accelerate the meditation process.

As you know, my passion is to make available to people
just like you the very best and most effective ways to…

o Dramatically improve your mental, emotional,
and spiritual health…

o Help you create real happiness in your life,
regardless of your past or present circumstances…

o Improve your creativity, intelligence, and
mental functioning…

o Significantly improve your overall sense of well-being
and inner peace…

o Help you create your own success in the world, along
with the personal satisfaction and sense of fulfillment
that comes with being successful.

Well, Holosync will help you do all this and more–much more.

So I’m writing to encourage you to try Holosync for yourself.
And, since it comes with a full 365 day money-back guarantee,
you can see for yourself how amazing Holosync is–without
incurring any risk. In fact, trying Holosync really is a
“no-brainer.”

Look. I’ve already recommended Holosync several times over
the past few years. Each time, I get a flood of comments
thanking me for doing so.

I don’t have room here to tell you the full story bout Holosync.
You really need to go to Centerpointe’s website to get the
full details: Holosync Website

By the way, Bill has agreed to include some special, unannounced
additional bonuses exclusively for my friends. To make sure you
get these extras, please make sure to use this link: Holosync Website

When you use Holosync, you’ll…
- Effortlessly reach states of super-deep meditation–even
the very first time…

- Accelerate your mental, emotional, and spiritual growth,
giving you results you THOUGHT you were supposed to get
from meditation (but probably never got)…

- Heal emotional trauma, even if other methods haven’t worked…

- Stimulate production of neurochemicals associated with
longevity, well-being, and better health…

- Dramatically raise your threshold for stress…

- Increase your self-awareness, inner peace, and happiness.

If you’ve tried meditation but found it difficult–or just want to
go MUCH deeper, with faster results…or, if you just want to grow
and improve your life more quickly, you’ll love Holosync.

And, there’s no risk to try it.
I have been using this program for 6 years along with my clients and everyone
of us has had the benefits stated above.
Why not get started TODAY!

Installing Love on the Human Computer

admin — Thu, 27 May 2010 20:35:49 +0000

Installing Love on the Human Computer

Sometimes everything in recovery feels foreign and strange. Even love. Lucky for us there is a 24 hour hotline, always there to help.

Installing Love on the Human Computer

Tech Support: Yes, can I help you?

Customer: Well, after much consideration, I’ve decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?

Tech Support: Yes. I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?

Customer: Well, I’m not very technical, but I think I’m ready. What do I do first?

Tech Support: The first step is to open your Heart. Have you located your Heart?

Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now. Is it okay to install Love while they are running?

Tech Support: What programs are running ?

Customer: Let’s see, I have Past Hurt, Low Self-Esteem, Grudge and Resentment running right now.

Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase Past Hurt from your current operating system.
It may remain in your permanent memory but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually
override Low Self-Esteem with a module of its own called High Self-Esteem. However,you have to completely turn
off Grudge and Resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off ?

Customer: I don’t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?

Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke Forgiveness.
Do this as many times as necessary until Grudge and Resentment have been
completely erased.

Customer: Okay, done! Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?

Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program.
You need to begin connecting to other Hearts in order to get the upgrades.

Customer: Oops! I have an error message already. It says, “Error –
Program not run on external components.” What should I do?

Tech Support: Don’t worry. It means that the Love program is set up to run on Internal Hearts,
but has not yet been run on your Heart. In non-technical terms, it simply means you have to
Love yourself before you can Love others.

Customer: So, what should I do?

Tech Support: Pull down Self-Acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-Self;
Realize Your Worth; and Acknowledge your Limitations.

Customer: Okay, done.

Tech Support: Now, copy them to the “My Heart” directory. The system will overwrite any
conflicting files and begin patching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete Verbose Self-Criticism
from all directories and empty your Recycle Bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.

Customer: Got it. Hey! My heart is filling up with new files.Smile is playing on my monitor and
Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?

Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes awhile, but eventually everything gets it at the proper time.
So Love is installed and running. One more thing before we hang up. Love is Freeware.
Be sure to give it and its various modules to everyone you meet.
They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.

Customer: Thank you, God.

God/Tech Support: You’re welcome, anytime.

I thought this was cleaver and represents the work of reprograming old perspectives that no
longer serve you.
You have to program “living a healthy life” over the current programing that is running you life
as someone living a life with an addiction. So how do you do that? That is what I teach you.

I help you replace your old programing with new updated versions of the truths about yourself and your world.
Just like technology grows and changes, so can you, but your inner programing (subconscious mind) needs to be updated
(reprogramed) to raise your perception level and vibrational level to create new connections, desires and goals.

Expect the Best life!

Finding a Treatment Center That Suits Your Needs

admin — Wed, 19 May 2010 04:07:37 +0000

Jeff Wolfsberg & Associates

Posted: 17 May 2010 02:45 PM PDT

Once the decision has been made to seek treatment, the next step is to find a treatment center that suits your needs. Here are some questions that can help guide your decision.

1. Does the organization hold any state licenses or some form of national accreditation?
If the organization is reviewed on a regular basis and is accredited, it shows that the organization is continually improving and maintaining the highest standards it possible can.

2. What type of education and credentials does the organization’s counselors hold?
A strong staff is crucial to any organization, as it is directly linked to the quality of the treatment. Knowing the staff’s training and experience will make the process more comfortable for you.

3. Has the organization had any clinical practice lawsuits filed against it within the last five years?
Lawsuits do not necessarily mean that the organization is guilty of negligence, but it is an indicator of how others have felt about the organization.

4. What are the dynamics of family sessions?
It is key for you and your family to understand how communication will be facilitated. Knowing this information before the treatment process begins will clear much of the anxiety for the patient and family members.

5. Do the organization accept insurance and will it process it for you?
Having the treatment center explain all costs to you upfront and reviewing the payment options with you is very important. Being able to recognize how much of the treatment is going to be covered by insurance will allow you to make plans financially.

6. What responsibilities will the treatment process require of me?
Organizations have different methods of ensuring treatment. There is the possibility that you may get limitations placed on your activities and those you can contact.

7. What type of results should I expect after treatment?
It is important to find what the organization will to do you in terms of the change of behavior after you finish their program. Addiction is a chronic disease, and needs to be managed for the rest of your life.

8. How can the organization help me manage my disease after I leave the program?
The treatment experience is the beginning of a journey that will last the rest of your life. You should inquire as to what services the organization has to offer you after you finish their program, and how much that will cost.

9. How will my medical record be affected?
Health care is becoming more integrated, and as a result communication between health care providers is becoming increasingly vital. Learning about how the organization will inform your health care providers is crucial.

10. How does the organization view medication in the assistance of abstinence?
Some organizations utilize medication as part of the recovery process, and some do not. It is important to get all information about their view on this issue and how it will affect your treatment process, so you can choose the one that matches most with your needs.
