MASTERY
Rapid Eye Technology (RET) is a safe, natural way to release stress and trapped trauma leaving us empowered to live a happier, more productive life without reliving the event. RET gently simulates REM sleep, the body’s own natural discharge. Accessing the whole mind/body system while awake, allows you to be in control of your journey and in a powerful position to create your new reality. With new skills, ideas and experiences, you are less likely to repeat the “do what you’ve always done, get what you’ve always gotten” pattern of stuck in your life. Identify and release nonproductive beliefs, negative thought forms, and emotions—all of which contribute to emotional stress. RET is a release and reframe technology unique in its approach and amazing in its results. Clients report immediate benefits and feel relaxed, yet energized after a session. They gain a new perspective on life, feel self empowered and permanently change their life. Life Skills are the cornerstone of creating these results:
Thought – Thought is at the beginning of all creation. Change your thoughts and change your life.
Perception – Perception is how we understand our world based on our experiences filtered through our judgments.
Choice and Accountability means we choose how we feel about our experiences. We are always free to change our mind and choose again.
Cause and Effect multiplies our choice into either a positive or negative experience.
Abundance and Gratitude gives us an abundance of whatever we believe we deserve. What we choose to feed will grow.
Health and Healing is the process of becoming and maintaining a state of wholeness.
Harmony and Rhythm is how it all works together in complete harmony. We are part of life, moving with the flow.
Skills for Living appear to be seven separate laws, yet they operate as one. Our thoughts create, our perception of the thoughts and events give them reality, cause and effect recreates them and choice and accountability lets us change our thoughts, perceptions and actions at any time. Our choices result in either lack or abundance, and continuous “feeding” can affect our health on all levels. By consciously choosing the frequency of energy we align with, we can create discord and pain, or harmony and rhythm.

Everything you put out in life comes back to you multiplied. Increase your awareness, learn, change your perceptions, and quickly move to a new view of the events… thus changing your life. We create whatever we set our mind to (intention). We are like a light bulb and spirit is the electricity that makes the light bulb work. Some light bulbs let in more of their source (higher wattage or vibration) and they have a brighter light. Focus on the endless possibilities, and provide an environment for positive change.

CONSCIOUS INTENTIONS
As we become more awake and aware we gain fresh insight into situations – this is the creation of breakthrough moments which we can convert into positive learning and growing experiences. We are seeing many individuals (and corporations) who have slept through the wake-up calls and chosen instead to remain in their comfort zone. The message to shift or change will continue to repeat louder and louder until it gets our attention, the learning is absorbed and the shift happens. Change is inevitable.
Ignoring the “choice moments” is a coping strategy that seems to work in the moment. On the other hand, chronic sleepwalking through life can lead to major problems simply because we lock out teachable moments. It is not enough to simply go through the motions of life with our bodies in an upright position and our mind asleep to what is going on around us. Being part of the ‘walking dead’ is not only an unfulfilling way to experience life; it can be costly as well.
There are no victims in the world and no villains. We are not the victim of others choices. On some level, we have participated in the creations we detest – and having created it, we have chosen it and we can change it. Our choices paint a picture of who we are. Look at how States and Nations have painted such pictures. For most of our lives, we lived at the effect of our experiences or in reaction. Through conscious intention we are invited to live and walk in awareness creating health and healing in our lives.
Use a Rapid Eye session to clear the old patterns that keep our intentions ineffectual. Learn to tap into subtler levels of information you’ve been ignoring up to now and create your life, health and healing consciously. As you become aware of the flow of information and energy going to your body, you can choose positive intentions and immediately recognize the results. Life is a creation, not a discovery.

Self Empowerment
There are three principles of manifestation that have been around since the dawn of time.
· The Principle of Vision – we must have a clear vision of what we want to create to manifest it
Using Rapid Eye sessions to clear the self-limiting beliefs will allow our vision (of healthy relationships, prosperity, joy, inspiration) to sparkle and shine with a clarity that will surprise us. We cannot put a new belief in place until we clear the old incorrect belief that keeps us stuck in the same old, same old. We can all get away with being casual and careless for awhile, yet sooner or later it catches up to you. Leave your bills unpaid, your work undone, and your problems to everyone else and one day the walls will fall in. Our choices have a cumulative effect. They build on each other. Rapid Eye can clear these self-limiting beliefs and assist you in creating the life you truly want.

Wake UP Calls
We all have ‘stuff’ to work through in life. It can seem like a big mountain to climb to face our stuff, so many attempt to postpone it with self medication, busyness or hitting the snooze alarm to stay in our comfort zone. Life tries to deliver a message and our resistance causes us to stay asleep and ignore it. These messages will be delivered over and over again until we get the learning.
Hitting the snooze alarm is a coping mechanism and some people go through life in an upright position simply doing the motions with our mind asleep to what is really going on around us. These ‘walking dead’ pay a high price in an unfulfilling experience of life. Going for the breakthrough moments in life can give us positive growing and learning – creating excitement about just being here.
We all will be creating our life for the rest of our life – just as we’ve been doing since birth. The difference (choice) is whether we are creating it consciously or with the snooze alarm in full gear. We all live the effect of our experiences. What we’re discussing here is to be at the cause of them. That is what is known as conscious living and walking in awareness. Use a Rapid Eye session to tap into the subtle levels of information that life has been trying to deliver to you. Learn to listen to the messages you’ve been ignoring and create consciously your experience of life. Choice, not chance determines your destiny.

Connection....Connection?#!%*
Just as in electricity you must have both sides of the plug (give and take) - connection and communication go hand in hand. Without one, the other struggles. This struggle creates a larger disconnection and we give up in exasperation. When we have lost the hope or desire to create connection, what is the answer? Forgiveness.
Everything and everyone in our lives is neutral (neither good nor bad) until we put in place a perception. To us, this perception is based on truth from our past experience in our world (our being the operative word here). Forgiveness gives the opportunity to rethink the thoughts we’re using as the lens of understanding our world or someone in it. Often we believe that forgiveness is a far too generous act for the individual when in actuality it is self-serving. When we have painful memories with a negative charge, it colors our world and how we see it. We suffer. When we forgive, we bring peace and calm to ourselves and the painful memories as well. Forgiveness results from clearing unwanted negative thoughts from our mind and stripping them of their negative charge through understanding. As we create understanding, we depersonalize events and see the humanity of others which allows us to be more compassionate and see the offending event in a positive light. We can re-perceive from a “He did it to me” category to just another example of what happens in life.
This skill to forgive is innate – in an emergency people easily forgive old resentments. If we can forget the past in an emergency, we can forgive and forget at will. We need only see that this action is possible and advantageous. When our perceptions are negatively charged, this view feels impossible to obtain. A session of Rapid Eye gives us the opportunity to release the negative charge and look again for the forgiveness as we reconnect to ourselves and others.

Consider collecting fees from credit cards
Cell Charge is a portable credit card program for less than $10 per month (member of ABMP? it's only $8.99 month) and is offered whether you are part of ABMP or not. The percentage rate is 3.79% per item...there is NO transaction fee, batch fee, monthly minimum, or downgrades {differing rates for different cards and whether you key them in or swipe them} JUST ONE RATE and your percentage. You can take a credit card from ANY phone, any where. This is meant to be simple.
I had a client who owed me $600, took out $200 from his ATM and said he would mail a check for the rest. I never heard from him again. Just that one transaction would have paid for my cell charge fee for three and a half years.
Most of the credit card programs say they have a low rate...yet with monthly minimums, batch fees, downgrade rates, and transaction fees it was too much for me to follow and it felt like a scam.
Lets talk about our credit card programs.... our future clients are the 'plastic' generation, so it is becoming more and more necessary.
If you want to know more about this program or compare it to others, call Dave Garboski 1-866-735-5292

LOVE is the Answer
When we have a power and don’t consciously acknowledge or use it, we might as well not have it. Kind of like those tools tucked so far in a drawer they are never in our view, or a blouse with the tags still on it that just doesn’t feel quite right when we put it on. Love can move mountains, engage people and stop wars.
As we go through life, we stumble upon the need for resolution again and again. This can be at work, in a personal relationship, with family or friends, or even at the grocery store in the check out line. Our energy as human beings is so strong that when we are not giving or receiving love, others feel it, taste it, sense it and know it. So, as we stand around the water cooler at work not liking Linda, she feels it. She may not be conscious of it – yet it directs her responses and comfort level as surely as if we’d said “I don’t care what you have to say in meetings. In fact, I wish you’d just not say anything so we can get out of the meeting quicker.” That feeling of dismissal is just as palpable as if it were stated out loud.
Now take this into personal relationships and marriages…we may not be saying it out loud, yet our partner withdraws, sulks, or lashes out in anger in response to our energy of judging and comparing. True accountability and responsibility asks us to look at our own energy and be personally responsible for that. We cannot see something in someone else that we don’t also see in ourselves. Since we can’t change others, our work is clear. Work on ourselves and it will smooth our journey.
How do we come to resolution when the walls seem huge, the gap is growing and the communication is non-existent? Love is the answer. Take your ultimate power and find a way to re-love the event, person or experience and it will shift. If you experience anger or withdraw when faced with the need for resolution, book a Rapid Eye session to let go of the emotional charge. Once free of the ‘hook’, you will be able to move around the incident and perceive it from a different place and create the opening for resolution.

New Year - New Tools
Accessing the whole mind/body system while in an awake state allows you to be in control of your own journey without reliving incidents. RET uses the natural blinking reflex to open up neuropathways where memories of our experiences are trapped. For instance, being trapped in the birth canal, trapped in a car accident, or trapped in a relationship are all on the same neuropathway. Rapid Eye provides an opportunity to blink it out and move to a new perspective of life events.
Thought – Thought is at the beginning of all creation. Change your thoughts and change your life.
Choice and Accountability means we choose how we feel about our experiences. We are always free to change our mind and choose again.
Cause and Effect multiplies our choice into either a positive or negative experience.
Health and Healing is the process of becoming and maintaining a state of wholeness.

Healthy Cell and Golden Thread Manuals
If your clients are experiencing physical stress and you have not discovered the Healthy Cell or Golden Threads Manuals, add these to your tool box:
The Healthy Cell Manual/CD is designed to identify generational repeating patterns. This script has successfully been used for many other issues besides the experience of cancer. It directs the pattern to go to the very first time it was created, to identify the exact cause or reason of the issue. This allows you to release the emotions and beliefs around the repeating pattern to resolve the conflict so that it can heal. The process script utilizes medical terminology, emotions, beliefs and patterns to release the creation of the unhealthy cell growth. Reframing and resolving the exact conflict that created the original pattern activates and creates a matrix shift in the DNA/RNA for a new blueprint of healthy cell growth for the body to now follow.
The Golden Threads Manual/CD is a guided release imagery that identifies repeating patterns and where they are held in your mind/body system. The imagery directs the electrical connection or circuits of the repeating pattern to release and connect to what you would rather experience or create in your life.

Importance of Grounding
Grounding was stressed at the June and July trainings at the Rapid Eye Institute.
We practiced the process over and over and I finally felt grounded in my body and in my own energy. It feels great and I am still bubbling with passion.
If I don't practice grounding daily my monkey mind starts to get louder. I enjoy listening to Sharlene's grounding meditation and chakra clearing that is available on the RET website.
Grounding to Your Complete Circuit of Energy CD
by Sharlene Young

Grounding to Your Complete Circuit of Energy CD is designed to disconnect you from current patterns or energy that doesn't belong to your system. It is guided with positive release statements and affirmations in all 12 chakra centers and auric levels, including education about how each center creates, communicates patterns, and how to create what you would rather experience.

October Beach Retreat
Walking onto the beach, I took it all in, white capped waves rising in broken formations, then, diving into camouflages of churning foam and sand, creating a peaceful pulsing roar as intense as the bright sunlight illuminating the warm, iridescent, white sand beneath my feet. The coast was alive, clearing the senses with slight breezes filled with fresh salty air. Cares fled with the whimsy of multi-colored kites decorating the deep blue sky like disobedient diamond shaped rainbows bobbing, dancing, and dipping carelessly between layered currents of changing wind. The landscape presented varied, ironic activities, displaying beautiful, slender runners with browned, bare skin beyond slight bikini boundaries chasing the pulsing tide, contrasting cozy, hand clasped couples in coats, strolling thoughtfully along the water's edge; the whole scene, seasoned with seagulls soaring, sunbathing, squawking, and squabbling over scraps. Energy was high. Lives erupted in motion, teenagers; playing Frisbee, kids; splashing in the bubbly water and scooping sand, a dog; chasing the surf, kicking up sand with clumsy galloping legs, barking, nipping at foam, shaking seaweed clenched in teeth as though killing prey, then courting mischief with sand castle builders.
Approaching a mound of boulders, radiant heat offering a great shelter from cool
Watching the gulls fight and compete for anything edible, feeling lack and discomfort, I considered the power and energy of intent. Taking responsibility for my feelings, re-focusing on my own power rather than the seagulls' energy, I changed my perception, replacing lack and competition with love, safety, peace, and abundance. Testing the attraction of similar energy and thought, I placed a corn chip on my shoulder, wondering if any of the gulls would respond. Some came closer, then, retreating (perhaps in fear), returned to old comfortable patterns, again fighting for their food.
However, I continued faith in the test. Catching my attention off to the side, patiently watching, refusing to fight for food, one thoughtful gull stood apart from the rest, engaging me eye-to-eye, looking at options, studying me and the corn chip on my shoulder. Finally, he took a chance, flying to the rock I was leaning on. I looked into his eye just inches away, absence of fear indicating acceptance of my energy sent. Respectful rapport established, my soul felt free, touched by his courage and thoughtful trust. Responding alone, facing natural fear, this gull taught abundance without struggle, eating from my shoulder, enjoying love, safety, and a hassle-free forty-five minute feast.
Eating lunch in a virtual paradise with a bird, I witnessed the power of thought! All I focus thought on, I attract multiplied. My results change, when changing the thoughts I focus on. I learned from a seagull, the power of thoughtfully facing and replacing fears, patiently watching for responses to love sent, peacefully, gracefully accepting good-will offered, receiving deserved abundance without a fight. Changing thoughts to love, all connected creation succeeds.

My Life Changing Experience


How could anyone ever tell you, you were less than whole?
How could anyone fail to notice that your loving is a miracle?
I knew at that moment, that the Love of God…this incredible Love, had always been with me, and never was I without the love of God, and God’s influence in my life. I also knew that because I did not feel completely connected to that Love up to that point, that I had not fully and completely connected with my husband, children, friends and acquaintances.
Be Well,
Charlotte Garland, MRET
