,
I have just returned from Las Vegas where I was helping my friend and colleague Dr. Patrick Porter at a wellness convention. The room was full of doctors learning how a simple technology can have an incredibly positive and powerful effect on the mind and body. In this day and age medicine no longer believes that the mind and body are to be treated as two separate things independent of each other. It is now properly accepted that the mind and body work together to help keep our total being healthy.
Whether you are looking to quit smoking, lose weight, manage your stress or increase your ability in sports, business or life, support from the strategic mind-messaging process can only help get you there! It's like having a personal coach in your pocket with you always. If you are interested in seeing what it's all about have a look at www.StrategicMeditations.com where you can sign up for a 5 day free trail and listen to many of the Strategic Mind- Messaging Sessions in our Mind Library. Sessions from Dr. Patrick Porter, Dr. Richard Bandler and myself plus many other great authors.
While in Las Vegas we took a side trip to Red Rock Canyon and it was an awesome detour from the hype of the casinos. Only 30 minutes from the main strip of Las Vegas and you are in some amazing, awe-inspiring scenery. I've included a picture below.

Morning Meditation Session |

|
The next scheduled Morning Satsang-Meditation Session with Terry will be held on Saturday, February 2nd.
Join Terry Hodgkinson for a few hours where he shares meditations he has learned from around the world.
Here's what people are saying about these sessions:
"
Last Saturday, I spent the morning meditating under Terry's guidance. My experience was illuminating. Terry provided an introduction to meditation - he is pure in his word(s) and teaching(s) and this type of teaching can only come from lived experience and wisdom. I will be returning and will learn more. Thanks again Terry."
- Nita Dayal-Nicholson - Clinical Case Manager Mental Health at Credit Valley Hospital and Trillium Health Centre
So you probably know what meditatin means but what does Satsang mean? Well it has many different definitions but here is one that Terry likes: "Holding company with an assembly of persons who listen to, talk about and meditate on the highest truth bringing meaning and inner peace into one's daily life"
The morning session starts at 10am and wraps up at 12 Noon. It will be held at Terry's office and there is room for 12 people. The first 12 people to register will secure a spot. The cost for this event is only $20. Terry keeps the fee low on purpose so all people can experience the benefits of meditation.
Terry's office "Positive Changes" is located at:
4895B Dundas Street Etobicoke, ON
M9A 1B2
Parking is free and the Positive Changes office door and parking lot are located behind the main store fronts facing Dundas street, on the South-East corner.

Viva the Red Rocks of Las Vegas |

By the second day of walking through the casino to get to the restaurant in the morning for breakfast, I could feel my body protesting by revolt. I had grown up with two parents who were chain smokers and swore that when I was old enough I would never put myself in that kind of smoky environment again!
My parents grew up in an era where the information they were given about smoking was all positive and associated with the cool thing-to-do, where facts about the damage smoking does to the smoker and others who inhale second hand smoke simply didn't exist. I understand how easy it could have been for people in my parent's generation to get started back then, but I really shake my head ...

The Beatles Meet the Poet Rumi in Sikkim |

"Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better. Remember to let her into your heart, then you can start to make it better. Hey Jude, don't be afraid. You were made to go out and get her. The minute you let her under your skin, Then you begin to make it better."
Its 5:30am, the song Hey Jude continues to play for a while longer then I reach up and turn my phone alarm off. I enjoy waking up to Hey Jude, but I don't care so much for the phone vibrating along with the song as part of the alarm feature. I haven't figured out how to disable it so just the tune plays. I know the Beatles wrote that song in relation to a man - women romance but I tend to perceive the lyrics a little differently when I awaken to it each day. The famous Sufi Poet Rumi often referred to the spiritual and esoteric (God) as "her" in his delicious poems. You can see this in the two I've selected below:...
