Kathryn,
The harmonizer either has to be not working any more, or not a good match… in your case just stick with the harmonizer to get used to
it.

Kathryn: Sophie – Did you really say plants don’t like energized water? When I purchased the Water Energizer audio, I did a search of the yourvibration website for plants and energized water and couldn’t find anything, so I started watering my plants with the energized water and they look to me like they’re liking it.
Also, is energized water good for our pets?

I’ve had several complicated projects at work that I’ve been dreading and putting off far too long. Suddenly, last night I found myself wanting to tackle those projects and I dove in and I’m actually enjoying working on them and my mind is staying sharp and alert and I’m doing a good job. I couldn’t figure out what caused the turnaround until I read this article. Could this surprising (to me) turnaround be a result of now having a capacity I was missing?

Kathryn: Sophie – I’ve been playing Sleepy Time all through the night each night on a loop, but the other day I heard another student say they play it one time through (the first 1 hour and 36 minutes of their sleep time) each night. Do you know if there’s any benefit to playing it one time through each night vs looping it over and over all night? (If the benefits are equal, I’m going to switch to one time through because I’m not used to sleeping with headphones and the relative discomfort wakes me up on and off through the night.)

In reply to Kathryn.Kathryn, more is more… I made the sleepy time repeat the activator part 5 times… What I had in mind with it that at least one of those activator sequences will reach you while you are sleeping and therefore in a hypnotic induction mode.

If you are sure that you are asleep at least part of the hour and a half, then one time is ok.

Kathryn: Sophie – This post reminded me of yesterday’s Elite Circle Coaching call where you went into several of these things with me. Something definitely changed during that coaching call. I didn’t notice it yesterday, but today things are very different. Especially at work. For example, there is a product that is very important to the company I work for. And for over 3 years I have hated and avoided and resisted working on and testing it. In fact, for the past year I haven’t done any of the work I was assigned on it. None. Total resistance.

Then this morning I logged on to work and was deciding what to tackle first and discovered I have absolutely no resistance to that product at all. The things I hated because they were so complicated and slow and full of bugs are still complicated and slow and full of bugs, but I don’t feel hate or resistance or anything even close to that. I’m working on the product and am calm and peaceful. Not even a trace of resistance. My words can’t describe how incredible this is to me. A huge, constant burden that was hanging over me every day at work is completely gone. It’s mindblowing to me how this could have turned completely around – neither my projects at work nor my extreme resisting of this product got discussed during the coaching.

This, to me, is a miracle. I didn’t even “work” at solving it, or do “thinking” to solve it. It just poof disappeared.

Kathryn: Sophie – When I look back, the times I’ve gone on the Atkins diet or other low carb diets, I’ve had more energy and felt more alive and not depressed. But I’ve never been able to stick with the diets because I start craving carbs so much, I become obsessed by them. Especially candy and desserts. Constantly thinking about them and wanting them and forcing myself not to eat them. Fighting the carb craving seems to take over my life. And I end up dropping off the diet and going back to the carbs.

I need some health coaching on ways to give up carbs and not become obsessed by them. Do you offer that kind of coaching?

Kathryn: Sophie – Your articles are confronting, at times unpleasant, at times insulting. But they ring with truth. And your products and coaching (including the devilish homeworks) truly work. Since I started using your products and getting your coaching, my life has steadily gotten better. And the “better” isn’t going away like it did with so many other teachers/gurus I’ve studied. So if people feel like they want to run away when they read your articles, I recommend they stop, turn around, and give your products and coaching an honest try before they run. Because they, like me, may be very surprised by what can happen in their lives.

Kathryn: Another example of a context that could work is that small businesses and huge businesses can be successes at the same time. That the small business doesn’t have to be like the huge business in order to be a success. And the huge business doesn’t have to be a failure in order for the small business to be a success.

In that context, the small business owner would see the things that make it a success (for example, making such a huge difference in people’s lives) instead of thinking that it doesn’t measure up.

Kathryn: Sophie – My suggestion for the weekly meditation recordings: What really matters to me is that the recordings only have your voice on them, because I think I will be using the recordings over and over for a long time. If having participants means their voices will be in the recordings, then my preference would be for the recordings to be made without participants. If the participants’ voices will not be in the recordings, I vote for allowing participants so that we have a chance to attend the live sessions where you do the recordings.

In reply to Kathryn.Kathryn, 1.

It replaces it with effectiveness instead.

2. it can be played together with anything.

Kathryn: Sophie – This is such a great idea and would help the gurus so much!

I may be able to give you some of the help you’re asking for, but I am hesitant because your approach to life is so in-your-face, slam-them-to-the-mat, bash-them-over-the-head-with-what’s-wrong-with-them, and my relationship with the gurus I know is not like that. And at this point I’m not ready to turn it into that. So I don’t know how much help I can be. But if your planned approach is gentle and would work with me being the way I am with them now, I would like to help.

Either way, you are giving them a life-saving offer and if they are courageous enough to accept the help they will find that they are forever grateful to you.

Kathryn: If you use the label with the ADD children, I recommend you switch the “before” pictures to the left side of the label and the “after” pictures to the right. That’s the order in which before and after are usually shown in the United States, so the way the label is right now looks to us like the children are getting worse instead of better.

One other possible pitfall with using the ADD children is that if someone glances at the label and only sees the “before” pictures, they may think the pictures are of people who have taken the remedy and get a bad impression. That may sound crazy, but keep in mind that the vibration levels of most people are low and they don’t see the whole picture, so it could happen.

That said, my vote is for the label with the ADD children. The contrast of the before and after pictures is dramatic and gives a great impression of the product.

Kathryn: Sophie – Are you sure Rudy Hunter doesn’t use energy? In my experience, it seems like he does.

You once said in a coaching session that one of the best ways to see if an energy product is working is to look at the effect it has on animals and children. My cats definitely react when I play Rudy Hunter recordings. They totally relax and practically go into a swoon. A very visible reaction.

As kittens, when we first took them into our house away from their feral mama, one of them meowed constantly and they were both very anxious. In an attempt to calm them down, I looped some Rudy Hunter recordings quietly in the background, and to my surprise it worked. The kittens immediately stopped meowing and relaxed. Each time I turned off the recordings, the meowing and anxiousness came back. And when I turned the recordings back on, they went back to relaxed. It appeared to me like they were sensing the energy.

Also, my legs buzz when I play his recordings, like they did when I first started playing your energy recordings.

Kathryn: Recommendations:

First step: If you haven’t already, go to each place you put a link to amazon for your products and change the links to go order forms you have on your website. That way, until the dispute with amazon is resolved, you won’t lose the business that comes from the people who click on your links.

Once the problem with amazon is solved, you can switch them back.

Second step: If you haven’t already, ask amazon to give you exactly what the other sellers said. Get the exact words or actions that they are complaining about. That will give you a better opportunity to rebut their accusations.

The next steps will depend on what you get in the second step.

You mentioned in an article that one of your students is a lawyer. Perhaps she can help with rebutting the accusations.

What amazon did to you is unfair, but I’m sure that somewhere in their massive written contracts with their sellers they reserve the right to do it. If I can find any other recommendations of what to do, I will give them to you.

Kathryn: The next most important step is to get a complete copy of the contract you have with amazon. Not just a summary copy. I’m pretty sure they’re legally required to provide you with a complete copy.

It would be good to see what the contract says amazon is required to do in a situation like this. Including what information they’re required to give you. If the contract says they’re supposed to do something and they refuse to do it, that will give you the right to sue them and win. (Not that you want it to come to that, but at least you know you have the law on your side and that will encourage them to do what they’re supposed to do.)

2014/03/11 at 7:41 pm

Kathryn: I really do get your point about not suing. The reason I brought up the right to sue is because if amazon knows the contract says they’re supposed to so something, but they refuse to do it, they know you have the right to sue them and that “encourages” them to do what they’re supposed to do.

I recommend that you ask them for a copy of the complete contract, or, if it’s located on their website, ask them where to find it. It contains the rules of the game. Without it, you can’t stand in a position of power and assert your rights because you don’t know what your rights are and you don’t know what they’re obligated to do.

Kathryn: My vote is don’t hire an editor to dumb down your articles. They’ll have to chop out too much and make the articles lose too much value. If you feel compelled to do it, could you set up a separate website for the dumbed-down articles and keep the unedited versions on this website?

There are some of us who study your articles and read them over and over to try to get everything you’re saying. But even with that, I still find a lot of it goes over my head. You’re way out of my league. But I do get some of it and would hate to lose the opportunity to try to get it.

I don’t understand how you could edit the articles and keep the sense of them.

Like Kathryn and others, I read and re-read the articles (and do the same with the videos/mp3s).

Today I was re-listening to Werner Erhard talking about authenticity and responsibility. I felt like I understood a little bit more than when I last listened a few weeks ago, and with the ever-so- slightly widened perspective. I have overlooked this in the past, but now I understand that I am experiencing the change I work towards, each time there is a little bit of movement. It’s not big or flashy.

And I see reading your articles the same way; study them, put something into action, penetrate a layer, repeat … I would be sad if you took the layers of meaning out of the articles (if I have correctly understood your intention in possibly having them edited).

I also wonder, would the truth value of an article be altered by the vibration of the person editing it?

I am grateful for your writing Sophie.

Even though, I resonate with Kathryn’s remarks, I don’t revisit these articles nearly enough. It occurred to me that my perspective was more of a ‘let me take a bite of this great piece of knowledge’ approach. Now, I do realize that I would never want to be without your writing, but my cursory approach is certainly not beneficial to anyone. Thank you for helping to see a distinction here, and if you had your writing edited by someone on the ‘second floor’, I don’t see you being ultimately pleased with that. Just my 2 cents

I even imposed the supposedly inherent good and evil on the people around me, judging them for allowing “inherently evil” things.

What you’ve written here is a totally different view and I feel freed up and empowered by it. Another piece of my blinders wiped out. I’m excited about tackling life from this new view! Thank you Sophie.

In reply to Kathryn.Kathryn, you are not alone, in fact I dare to risk that most people, as in 99.99% of them believe it the way you do. And if you really look, most misery comes from that.

It’s taken me 66 years and that amazing student question to get what is going on, and verbalize what happened to me when I went from being prone to utter misery and devastation to an utter peace of mind, not long ago.

Even though I had had pieces of this puzzle, the unifying idea was still missing until last night when the coaching session happened.

Thank you for being the first to get it.

Kathryn: When I read this article I realized that all my life I have only taken on things that I had a high percentage chance of winning. If I saw I had a high percentage chance of losing, I wouldn’t even consider doing it, no matter how much fun it could have been. Even with the adventurous things I’ve done, I had a higher chance of winning than losing. I thought I was so smart for being that way and I was so entrenched in it that if someone had tried to point out that it wasn’t so smart, I wouldn’t be able to see it.

Today, reading this article, it dawned on me that the truth is that I’ve been keeping myself in prison by refusing to consider doing things that have a high chance of losing. So many things I’ve missed out on.

I want that “Certainty that whatever you will do will either succeed or fail, win or lose, and both are OK.” When I have that, there will be no more prison.

I got the Nothing to Fix activator this morning and have been playing it all day – maybe that’s what made me able to see the truth of what I’ve been doing to myself.

Kathryn: When I first read your answer, it bothered me. But I’ve learned that when you tell me something, there’s gold to be found in following up on what you say. So I started digging into the main incidents that I thought were telling me I’m not good enough and, yes, you are right, there’s something much stronger buried deep down in there. Just in beginning to look, I started sobbing racking sobs. I don’t know what it is – I quit because I need to be interacting with other people for the next few hours. When I get alone time later tonight I’m going to go back to digging. But this feels like it may be something I’ll need coaching to get to the bottom of.

Kathryn: I don’t know if I’m the student you’re referring to at the beginning of this article, but I looked at my Facebook page tonight and it could match the description you gave. If I am the one, there is more to see. I haven’t been on Facebook in a long time because I had completely lost interest in it, and you are the reason I lost interest. Out of curiosity, I looked at my activity feed this evening and found I had not even logged onto Facebook since back in July when I had my breakthrough in the Instant Coherence webinar. Since then, I’ve had no interest in Facebook or the “gurus” that I had friended in years past. Since then, I removed myself from the email lists of most of them and quit reading their Facebook posts and quit tuning in to their appearances on telesummits. I haven’t paid enough attention to Facebook to realize they were still friended. So their being friended and your not just reflects my complete lack of interest in and neglect of Facebook. Facebook doesn’t reflect what is important to me now.

For me, you are the one who gets results. The “gurus” didn’t. I do value and cherish you. I keep running away periodically because I have an extremely difficult time dealing with your direct, sharp way of communicating and coaching. But that doesn’t mean you’re not valued and cherished. I run away and lick my wounds and during that time I work with what you uncovered and incorporate it into my life. And then, once I feel strong enough to interact with you again, I come back.

It has been looking to me like sometimes you coach me as if you’re by my side, guiding me to see the truth, which sessions I love, and sometimes you coach me as if you’re an adversary, hitting me with the truth, which sessions I run away from. But what if you’re actually always by my side and the difference in my experience is caused by the context that I’m choosing for that session? What a completely different view! Then I’m the one making me run away! What fun!

Kathryn: Sophie – The combination of this article and the free e-book knocked me into the experience of being the Observer last night! The ACTUAL EXPERIENCE of being the Observer, not just my mind imagining it. I can’t even describe what it was like, but it definitely felt like I belonged there. And I realized that, in the past, I had been trying to move into being the Observer with my mind (good luck with that!) and had considered the Observer as something separate from myself and therefore was having a lot of difficulty. My experience last night didn’t happen from my mind. I was just knocked into it. And it was easy and natural. And the Observer was me, not something separate. This morning I’m no longer in the Observer position, but I feel closer to being there and I’m more relaxed and less stressed. And I now have this article and e-book as tools to use to practice moving into being the Observer. Thank you for this gift!

Kathryn: Is it possible that an approach of helping nature get the mites under control might work as an alternative or add-on to the approach of finding an independent substance that will destroy or chase off the mites? Our bodies are swarming with trillions of bad bacteria and yeasts, but it has been my experience that by helping nature build up good bacteria and yeasts in and on our bodies, the bad bacteria and yeasts are kept under control. Maybe there’s a way to determine whether our bodies are armed with any natural defenses to mites and help build up those defenses?

Kathryn: I see myself in this article. When I’m on the horizontal, which unfortunately is most of the time, I’m terribly depressed with the present moment and try to always put something out in the future to look forward to so I can bear my life.

When I’m on the vertical, the present is fine exactly as it is and I don’t need to have something out in the future to look forward to in order to bear my life. Whether there’s something out in the future or not makes no difference.

Life is incomparably better on the vertical, but I keep falling back onto the horizontal and staying trapped in it. Which seems totally ridiculous when I could instead choose to be on the vertical. I many times see myself getting swallowed up in drama and at the moment I start to get swallowed up, the moment when I can choose to turn my back on the drama and move to the vertical, I find that I very emphatically and knowingly choose the drama. I’m definitely choosing it. That makes no sense. Why on earth would I want to be caught up in the drama and so terribly depressed?

So the beauty of the present moment isn’t quite there. “There is more East to go young man…”

When I read this article and started pulling my mind back to what I’m doing now instead of dwelling on all the bad things that will happen if I don’t make the deadline, I relaxed and started making better progress. Each time my mind jumps to thinking of the scary deadline, I pull it back to what I’m doing now. When I’m here in the present doing my work, I’m finding I actually enjoy it.

In reply to Kathryn.One more thing, Kathryn. We, as a society, are avoiding negativity as much as we can. So we don’t get exposed to reality, only to a slice of it that we say we can be with. I bet you are more interested in what you want, and read about that, than about reality… Reality is not pretty, it is full of nasty stuff, like greed and lust and using others.

But it leaves you at serious risk of not being able to think either… Life is 360 degrees, not that narrow swath of positivity, 5%? max.

And if you don’t train yourself to be able to be with anything, then when the sh-it hits the fan, you are sh-it out of luck…

In my ‘next plague’ article I don’t say, because I don’t say, but when the plague comes, the squeamish, the positive thinker, the nice-nice person will definitely, 100% dies. Only the lucky and the hardy will survive.

Kathryn: I’m definitely guilty of avoiding negativity and this article is very eye-opening. I didn’t realize I was helping the Dark Side. I want to stop doing that. I think a good practice will be to start catching when I turn away from “bad” things and, instead of running away from them, practice seeing them as they are and being there with them as they are. No resisting, no judgment. But that’s a lot easier said than done. I feel like running away even as I write this.

Kathryn: Wow, this clears up something I was puzzling about. For many years, I continued to criticize and “make wrong” my husband even though I wanted to stop and I put a lot of effort into trying to make myself stop. It seemed out of my control. Then, suddenly and unexpectedly, after you pulled my dominant belief, I was successfully stopping myself from criticizing and making him wrong. That was a huge, very welcome surprise. But what was puzzling me was that I’m still getting the urge to criticize him. It didn’t go away. What changed was that when the urge hits me, I now successfully stop myself, and without the effort and anguish that used to be there. I thought the urge to criticize would have to go away before I could successfully stop. But from what you’ve written, it’s like the “I am a smoker” doesn’t go away but you’re able to change the action. And for me, the “I am a criticizer” doesn’t go away but I’m able to change my action.

I don’t even know how my “I am a criticizer” relates to my dominant belief, but my actions definitely changed when you pulled my dominant belief so it sure looks like they were somehow related.

Therefore: Your dominant belief is not the same as your dominant behavior. So what am I pulling? | View Post

Kathryn: My vote: When you replay scenes from a movie in your mind to see some common occurrences with people, you’re definitely thinking, using your mind as a tool, and on the vertical.

I have that experience when I’m writing some new computer programming that I’ve never written before. In times like that, I’m thinking, using my mind as a tool, separate from my mind instead of drowning in it.

In reply to Kathryn.If you have to ask, then I didn’t get my job done with you Kathryn.

Even if you just used one of the techniques, like the sideways glance… you’d already know that your identity is always where your eyes are…

Only when you consider your eyes behind your eye balls that you are identified with your body and your feelings.

I hope this answers the question.

2015/08/06 at 7:28 pm

Kathryn: That does help – thanks! I love using the sideways glance and I gave it a try and it does help me dis-identify with feelings.

But I’m having a tough time with seeing that a feeling isn’t mine. It almost seems like I automatically glue myself to any feeling the minute it shows up and make it mine so then when I look at it, it is mine. Maybe I need to work on spotting when I do the glueing thing?

2015/08/06 at 7:54 pm

Kathryn: To clarify, the sideways glance is helping me dis-identify with my feelings. But I still feel like ALL feelings are mine – I can’t see a difference between feelings from someone/something else and my own feelings.

2015/08/06 at 7:57 pm

Kathryn: I’m not expressing myself very well. Trying to ask two different questions at the same time isn’t a very good idea! ? What is happening is that when I do the sideways view, I separate from the feelings and it doesn’t matter whose they are. I am separate from them. But when, out of curiosity or just because I want to get caught up in the drama, I don’t do the sideways view and I get caught up in the feelings and I try to determine whether they are mine or someone else’s, they all look like mine. I was just curious how, when that happens, I can determine whether the feeling is coming from me or from someone else.

And thank you for your comment about living from the sideways view. I’ve always used the sideways view for a rescue and after I was rescued I went back to my “normal” view. I never even thought of living from the sideways view. I’m going to give it a try.

Fortunately, I realized that wasn’t such a good idea, LOL, and I stopped it and turned to a great solution: I dove into reading your articles and after a while I was able to move into the Observer position and no longer be drowning in the misery. Much better! Thank you Sophie!

That would be a huge help because right now I’m running away from your webinars to avoid the poking. Do you think you might be willing to coach me on changing my view of poking if I bring it up in the Talk to Me webinars?

2015/10/24 at 11:20 pm

Kathryn: Wow Sophie you hit the nail on the head with this for me. I see that when I started something, I was expecting it to continue on its own momentum. I just sat back and expected it to continue. Which, obviously, it didn’t. This article snapped me out of that false belief and for some reason, I don’t know why, it actually feels good to know that if I take something on I will have to keep swimming and swimming and swimming. Maybe because I’m finally seeing the truth.

I want to increase my capacity to do and follow through. So I started a small project to do every hour during my work day, 10 times a day. I set a bell to ring each hour and when it rings I stop what I’m doing and come to present time, get completely present in my body. Yes, it’s small, but it helps me see things clearer and it’s something I can see continuing for the rest of my life, so it’s a good project to start out with.

Thank you Sophie.

Kathryn: Keeping in mind that any words you use instead of “activating DNA capacities” won’t convey exactly what you want to convey, but hopefully will communicate closely enough to get the message across, I think you something you said in the previous article would work well. You said “Capacities can be interpreted as abilities, but there is only a correlation. Talent would be a closer approximation of what DNA capacity is.” I think “activating abilities” (with no “DNA” or “capacities”) will communicate well to the average person, even though there is only a correlation. (I don’t think “talent” will communicate as well as “abilities” even though it’s a closer approximation.)

I’m one of the people to whom “activating DNA capacities” doesn’t communicate well. I find my first reaction to articles about DNA anything (by you and especially by other people) is to turn away and read something else. I tested “activating abilities” on myself and, in contrast, it attracted my attention. So it might work with other people.

Kathryn: “practice telling feelings apart from you”. Thank you for this advice Sophie. I started looking at each feeling as it comes up, looking at it separate from me and identifying it (instead of getting all caught up in it like I usually do), and that’s already helping me not get dragged into the drama. What a great Christmas gift!

Kathryn: harshly stated, but the truth. I see I still didn’t get the difference between separate and distinct. You downloaded flexibility to me in last week’s webinar and I have been experiencing differences so I thought it was active and I thought I was exercising flexibility when I was observing my feelings instead of getting caught up in them.

In reply to Kathryn.don’t get defensive Kathryn. that closes you down.

the distinction you need to get, and I am sorry for using use as a brave volunteer, is the distinction between coming from/standing in, and going to.

What I was observing is that you were watching and catching from the mind, from being bothered to not being bothered.

When you stand in flexibility, you see only clouds, with amusement.
If I was misunderstanding, I apologize.

The capacity is halfway open, so you could have stood in beingness and I was misjudging … what do you say?

So it looks like I’m following my tendency and stopping generating the process on some, but continuing on and completing the process on others. Why the difference? It feels like I have a different attitude toward the ones I follow the process through to completion and the ones I don’t. I need to change that so I can get to “no big deal” on all of them.
