Q5: White light protection. Why?

During the course of years of studying and learning 7 healing techniques, it has been told to me for decades to protect myself, to surround myself with white light when doing healing work, so the “bad” energies can’t come in and mess things up.  It has seemed contradictory to the “I create my own reality” and “there are no victims” belief.  If I am not a victim, and I create my own reality, why do I need to protect myself?  I am glad this question was posed.

I’ve studied with amazing healers who tell me to say prayers of protection, and to surround myself with white light.  And I wonder why?

You have just been exposed to a common belief in the healing world.  Those who aren’t fully in line with how things truly work, still hang onto the belief that there are bad things that can get you.  Those you have been around do not fully understand that they are the creators of their world.  They evoke the protection from outside of themselves.  And that is okay, as the main ingredient for protection is to believe that you are not in danger.  If the white light allows them to feel safe, then they can further their skill and help others in a new way.  If they believe in the boogy man lurking and do not protect themselves, they diminish the skill they are attempting to offer.  If a person doesn’t believe in the boogy man, then there is no need to protect against it.  If a person who doesn’t believe in the boogy man begins protection rituals because others suggest it, that is a conflict within.  Who do they trust most, themselves or another.  Many actually trust others more than themselves.  It takes time to trust self above and beyond any one else.  All your lives you have been molded to trust others and to distrust yourself.  Rarely is any child praised and lavished attention upon when they act on that which is within, when in conflict to do what they are told.  Most parents do not relish giving up that control in their children.  And the belief ensues that other people know more about what is best for you than you do.  As an adult it is important to begin to develop your own self-trust.  Many find themselves caught up in this trap during their teen years.  They want to trust self, feel compelled to make their own decisions, but they are still under the thumb of parents who want to keep control of their child.  This is the base of many teen/parent conflicts.

As for white light protection in the healing world, it is important to look at the possibility that you, too, have an “I’m a victim” belief lurking inside.  That you, too, do not fully trust your own judgment and decisions.  Once you are solid with your understanding that there are no boogy men, and even if there were, you could handle it, then you will no longer be in conflict with this practice of protection.  You will fully be able to allow others their belief, their practices, but not join in.  You are doing fine.  Trust yourself and what you know to be truth.  It is your truth, even if it is not another’s truth, it is important to be solid on “your truth”.

Q10: How to get rid of blocks

How do we identify these things that are holding us back and how do we get rid of those things?

I get that this is about money or material manifestations, so I will answer in a money way. When a person wants x, they have learned through the years how to get what they want.  Maybe they will manifest a spouse with an abundance of money.  Maybe they will work their lives to a state where those around will bend over backwards to get them those purchased items they want.  Maybe they have decided to work harder, longer, smarter and purchase themselves.  Maybe they delve into prayer.  However a person has learned how to get what they want, that is how they will go about making things happen again.  When a person seems to come up against a brick wall in their typical manifesting means, there is a deeper issue or challenge at hand.  This happens to everyone at some time.  They have a certain way to become satisfied, and when that way no longer works, then it baffles the person.  “Well, this has worked for years, why isn’t it working now?” 

What is going on is a shift in vibration.  A shift in levels.  What used to work now doesn’t work.  The person is learning that s/he may need to shift and reevaluate his ways in order to manifest differently now.  Life is not static.  Life is evergrowing.  People are evergrowing and their ways are also evergrowing.  Take this in stride and begin experimenting with new ways of manifesting.  Give up the idea that what has worked in the past MUST work in the future.  Know that change is always happening and that also means you must change your ways to accommodate your evergrowing wants and needs.  In all instances of change, the universal world is asking for a higher vibration, a higher level of existence, a happier insides, a more accommodating means of living life.  The best way to see change is through relief.  Yes, finally, the universe is asking more of you, and not “rewarding” until it gets it.  When in doubt, go to the happy place and just be there, forgetting that you want this item or situation.  Just be happy and do more of what you want to do, less of what you “should” do.  This will ease open the doors of change.  Isn’t it funny that when presented with a challenge, the solution is to relax into it and have fun?  What a life to live!

Q8: Moved and dislike new town

I like questions where I consciously have no idea what the answer is.  This is one of those questions.  Let’s see what Upstairs has to say about this question.

My spouse and I moved to a small town because we wanted to have a more simple life.  But it’s not what we thought it would be.  The houses are too close, the town is too small and I am unhappy here.

Wherever you go, there you are.  Isn’t that a familiar saying?  It is a truth.  A truth that you cannot run away from yourself.  Whatever challenges you had in one town, you will create in another town.  Now you know that moving isn’t the problems solver you thought it would be.  Sometimes the only problem solver is in-depth work.  Work in-depth of your soul.  Deeper, inner work.  To change from the core, those beliefs, those worries, those concerns, those fears, the guilts, the remorse and all those cool emotions.  To delve into those deeper emotions and to move past them into a higher, better feeling state.  You see, what you think about most is what you live.  If you think about the guilts and remorse, you will relive them again and again.  If you train your mind to think about the positive things, you will relive them again and again.  Some say, “fake it til you make it”.   

You trained yourself, with the help of surrounding others, the status quo of how things are, your role models, and all that, to think negatively.  You were not born thinking negatively, you learned that.  You can unlearn it in the same way, by repetition of positive thought consciously.  However, the new learning is a tougher path than the first learning, as it generally is not as supported.  As the child, you took the negativity that was spoon-fed to you.  As an adult, you must train yourself to think positively, quite often going against the grain of surrounding others.  

Now that you have moved, realize that moving back or moving again isn’t going to solve your concerns.  When you begin changing inside, you will find that your neighborhood will change to suit your new viewpoint.  Maybe people will move and better neighbors will move in, maybe you will move to a new place, maybe the antics of certain neighbors will diminish and a more likeable surrounding will ensue.  You create your neighborhood, so if you find yourself in a neighborhood you dislike, take measures to create again, only better.  And this doesn’t mean to force changes, but just to go within and find peace and happiness within.  Soon, you will see your neighborhood change faces and feel.

Q4: Vibrational Level & Awareness

I love and have embraced the message of Abraham, a teacher from somewhere unknown.  Abraham talks about how we begin our lives as pure, positive vibrational energy beings.  This we move away from due to simply living life as life is here on earth.  And to get back in alignment with that vibration is the key to manifesting anything we want and living life abundantly in all aspects.  Here is a good question asked by another Abraham enthusiast. (The answers are from what, I call "upstairs" or sometimes "Jessup" not from Abraham.)

Q: The higher we are on the vibrational scale, are we more aware we are generating our reality?

Thank you for asking.  It is nice to be with you again.  The premise is not quite accurate.  Yes, you are vibrational beings, but there isn’t a specific vibration, such as a musical note is a specific vibration.  What you have here is that all people can vibrate at different levels, speeds, wave lengths. It is not the speed or height of the vibration that matters, but the resonance of vibrating at the same vibration as your inner being.  There is no relevant correlation between vibrating “higher” and having higher or added awareness.  You can be resonating with your inner being and have no awareness of doing so.  Before you knew of this vortex, this inner being, or any vibrational level, you resonated with it anyway.  You have manifested everything in your life from day one, but yet only knew of this vibrational scale recently.  Now, I will say that the more you are aware of the ways of the earth, the laws, the more you can seek to align yourself vibrationally with your inner being.  That would be a better correlation between the two statements.

The point is that there is no such guideline of vibrational levels.  No fixed point of exactly what vibrational level is your inner being.  It’s all a feel.  It is all a feeling of resonance, a feeling of alignment, a feeling of joy and freedom, of wanting of nothing, of appreciation and of value.  The awareness one seeks is a tool to line up with your inner vibration on purpose.  To become aware of the laws, the feelings, and even some , will help you to purposely move forward in your path to live in heaven right here in your earthly bodies.  This is the next level of humans. To merge their inner being with their surrounding earthly lives and elevate their living to a higher, more joyful level. With that, we embrace and applaud your efforts.

Q1: Mother/daughter troubles

My life revolves around my 19 yo troubled daughter who has had a very difficult path.  I am distraught about this. How can I best help her?

Ah, it is about time that you reached within and decided to test your own connection again.  We have been waiting and know that what we give will be well received.  It is best for us to first explain that this question revolves around a woman who is very distraught and cannot see the forest through the trees.  She is deep within the muck and mire of her daughter’s issues.  And the best she can do is to get out of the daughter’s issues.  She is a contributing factor, just being involved in the issues of the daughter.  Her foucus is on the daughter, the energy is mixed in with the daughter’s energy.  In that way, she is not allowing the daughter to sort it out herself.  The very best thing she can do is to remove her energy from the daughter’s life. Now, that doesn’t mean she needs to abandon the daughter, or remove herself physically from the daughter’s life, but to remove her energy from the daughter’s energy.  And place that energy where it truly belongs, within herself.  Focus more on self, on being happy, on coming to terms with her part in this.  To address the guilt associated that kept mother’s energy within the daughter’s life.  It’s like there is this ongoing phone conversation between mother and daughter, and the mother is picking up a different phone and calling us for help in reducing her pain in this daughter’s issue, all the while still on the phone with the daughter.  We say, “hang up the phone”.  What we have to say cannot be heard when the daughter is still mixed in with mother’s energy.  The mother must focus on self.  Do those things that she enjoys.  Disconnect or disengage and step back for a different view or perspective.  This doesn’t mean abandoning the daughter, it means disconnecting from the negativity and pain associated with the daughter.  The removing of mother’s energy from the daughter MUST shift the daughter’s energy.  How daughter shifts is up to the daughter, but it will be HER choice on how she wants to shift it, not a collective choice between mother and daughter.  Most likely daughter will shift more towards a positive direction.  Then mother is in a position to appreciate daughter in a detached manner.  Trust that the universe and the daughter can manage all the concerns just fine.  Know your role in this, such as: know that you are tied in with the daughter on your own choice.  There is guilt that ties, a desire for control that ties, pain that ties.  Remove self from daughter emotionally.  It may make sense to think of the daughter as someone else’s daughter.  How would you be if this was your neighbor’s daughter who was having all these problems?  You wouldn’t be so involved in them, right?  You would be more detached, have less guilt. You still could love the daughter, but you would have your own life.  Be that way with your own daughter.  Allow her to have her own energy and make her own mistakes.  Be there if she needs, but set boundaries for yourself.  You need to take care of your own happiness level as a role model for her to emulate sometime down the road.

We love you all dearly and care about all aspects of life.

Remodel completed!

What a focused, constant 3 months it has been. I put aside extracurricular activities to remodel my house (see Norman the poodle...) Every weekend I was flooring, painting, or managing workers.  I didn't leave town for 3 months. Today was the day of completion. The guys doing the baseboards finished up today and the house looks fabulous. I tell you, baseboards really class the place up. On top of my new hardwood-looking flooring, and below new wall paint (some rooms), I finally have the house I want. I love, love, love my home. I love the cleanliness of it.

The wind has been relentless the last month. It has been a challenge to stay warm when the wind blows, as there have been a whole lot of holes in the house where the wind gets in. Today, the wind is still blowing and I can say that this house has never been warmer during a wind storm.

I'm looking forward to no workers for a while--and my personal freedom.  And now that my house is back in order, I can mentally rest a bit more. Oh yeah, it's spring. Time to start working outside...ah, the journey of life.

Sleep Problems

I swear this sleeping thing seems to be such a common problem.  I had some sleep issues recently, until I realized what the cause was.  I was intaking caffiene at night. That's it.  On my diet where I dropped the last extra 20 lbs, one of my challenges was to quit eating so much at night. I'd eat like a bird during the day, but then make up for it when I watched TV at night. To combat this, I substituted hot tea every night. It curbed that desire to have something more in my mouth and belly.  The artificial sugar seemed to reduce my cravings. When I finished my allotted evening meal, I'd follow it with a cup or two of hot tea.

Well, I didn't put it all together until weeks later, that the caffeine in the tea was what was stopping me from going to sleep at nights. A simple thing like one cup of tea caused me to toss and turn in bed for an hour. Who would've thought that?? That is the first thing I now ask hypnosis clients with insomnia problems--are you intaking caffeine at night--cola, coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.?  It seems simplistic, but it is very real.

The Fearful Belgian Tervuren

Recently I worked with Maggie, a lady from Australia and her fearful Belgian Tervuren.  Here is the story.

I have a beautiful 8 year old male Belgian Tervuren.  He has a nervous temperament with things he can't virtually control (e.g. thunder, doors moving).  Not long after he came to live with me, I was walking him early one morning and the newspaper man was delivering the papers, throwing them from his van.  The awful thing that happened, was that one of the papers he threw, landed just behind Kelly's hind legs, and landed with a loud thwack - frightening the life out of Kelly.

Now, when I walk him, if he sees/hears an approaching vehicle he practically turns himself inside-out trying to turn and watch where it is going and what is going to happen.  He is not enjoying his walks any more, because he is totally in 'escape mode'.  It is very distressing to see him suffering in this way, and this is the reason I am contacting you, just to ask if you do 'distant hypnotherapy', or to ask if you have any suggestions that I could try.

I had a few telepathic conversations with Kelly and an in-depth Skype chat session with Maggie.  What I learned was that Kelly was very dependent on Maggie for his confidence or lack thereof.  When he became rattled, she became rattled, it made the fear escalate and Kelly quickly went into panic mode.  I worked with Maggie on being a stronger, less reactive pack leader so Kelly could use her for his own strength.  After Maggie changing the way she reacted to Kelly, here is Maggie’s last email to me:

Things are going well with Kelly and myself. You helped me a huge amount by making me aware of my own actions and how they were affecting Kelly. On his walks, he is still hesitant when he sees/hears a car approaching, but I just keep walking forward and just say "Come On" in a happy/positive voice, and he walks on with me.  Yesterday morning we came to a corner, and unbeknownst to me there was a woman with a small dog on a leash just standing near the corner.  Kelly gave a growl, I looked and saw what he was growling at, and I said "Come On", and kept walking and he walked on with me with no problems.  Today, they are forecasting thunderstorms.  He does pick up the vibrations/electricity in the air before I'm even aware that we are having a storm, and he gets very uptight and wants to virtually attach himself to my leg.  I normally just carry on with whatever I am doing at the time, and don't react to him. Thanks again Cindy.  I hope all is well with you.

Good job Maggie.  Sometimes just changing the person's behavior can immediately change the dog’s behavior.  I was pleased that even with Maggie’s skepticism of the work I do, she stuck with me and Kelly until she saw the results herself.

Different people and animals need different types of help--from behavioral issues where the resolve is in the owner changing thought/action, to very deep root cause work of issues that have burdened the animal for years--and all in between. I take the person and their pet from where they currently are and attempt to help them move one step closer to harmony. LOVE this work!

Norman the poodle-catalyst for home remodel

I have spent the good part of the winter in primary focus on remodeling my home.  It started out with a foster dog.  Norman was a great little poodle, but decided to poop on the rug when I wasn’t looking.  The carpeting was very old and I decided I would re-do all the floors and get rid of all the carpeting in the house.  When it came time to tear out the carpet in the living room, there was some soft wood on one corner were a leak had been.  Handyman time, and Rod came to replace the subfloor.  I KNEW I needed to replace the roof, and figured I better do that before it leaked and ruined the new flooring.  So Byron, the roofer, came out and replaced roofing joists and then reroofed.  Since living in the house (2 years), I didn’t know what to do with the living room, as it had 3 layers of textured wallpaper.  It wasn’t easy to get it off of the walls, but I knew I best figure it out prior to completing the floors.  The job became a bit overwhelming, so I brought in 3 guys to help with tearing off the wallpaper and prepping to paint the living room and hall.  In one weekend, they did what was asked and even painted said walls.  They did an okay job, but when it was all over and done with, it turned out to be a really rough job.  Today I go buy a sander and this weekend is dedicated to sanding those walls again and possibly repainting.

As they say, when it rains it pours.  In the meantime, the dishwasher decided to quit, the bottom element in the hot water tank went out, even my hair dryer crashed and burned.  However, the bottom line is that I am loving my new house with the new floors, new throw rugs, and themed rooms.  I’ve spent way too much money on the home, but it was very much needed and now it is going to be MY home, done MY way.  I’ve never done this before.  It just seems that I’m upgrading my life in general.  My happiness level is so much higher than it has ever been, and my awareness level is tops.  I think my foster dog days are behind me, but I appreciate that in a sense, Norman gave me a remodeled home!

My problems=mule problems

It’s a funny thing, that connection between animals and people.  It seems like whatever concern I have about myself, it is mirrored in one or more of my animals.  When I was overweight, my legs would swell up some.  Not too bad, but enough to know I wasn’t 100 %.  Sally my mule began to have knee problems last winter, with some swelling in her legs.  I started the Weight Watchers program for myself.  Nearly at the same time, I learned through professionals, one of the reasons for her knee and leg swelling was extra weight--that I had been feeding or allowing Sally to have too much food.  I put her on a bit of a diet, too.  Within a few months, I lost those extra 20 lbs, the swelling in my legs and ankles reduced tremendously.  Sally’s legs and knees became fine again and we both are nearly 100 % now.

Ivan, the hinny, had teeth problems.  Funny thing is that I had lost a portion of my tooth about 4 years ago and had a temporary fix from the dentist.  Since then, there has been a sharp point on my tooth and it sometimes bothered me.  The dentist had said it needed a crown, so I just dealt with the point.  In the meantime, Ivan began dropping food out of his mouth (sign of teeth problems) and I’ve had to fix his feed so he can keep weight on.  Without a truck and horse trailer, it wasn’t easy to get Ivan to a specialized equine dentist, so I had put it off for quite a while.  Well, this year I arranged to sponsor an equine dentist at my farm.  She is coming in a few weeks.  I promised Ivan I’d get my tooth fixed, too.  Last week I made a dreaded dentist appointment and unluckily they had an opening right away.  I went in a couple days later and the dentist drilled down the point on my tooth and said I don’t really need a crown unless something happens.  In 2 weeks, Ivan will have his teeth filed down and I have no doubt that it will be a success, as mine was. 

I told the dentist that for my animals to be healthy, I must be healthy.  That whatever my mind is focused on, they seem to have similar problems.  Amazing how they can mirror us in some fashion.

Forget Word Press, I'm back to Blogger!

I was using Word Press for a year or so, but it just wasn't working for me, so I'm back to Blogger by Google. The posts on this site are way outdated.  I didn't post a lot on WordPress, so you're not missing much! Just that I've gotten more and more into Pet Hypnotherapy recently.  I'll be posting about that great practice where I can help people and pets in a way that they haven't been able to find success. But please, check out the FAQs about Pet Hypnotherapy to see if you qualify for this specialized help.

Pet Hypnotherapy is for people who have 'tried everything' to help their pet and the solution still evades them.  This may be a behavioral issue, mental issue, or anxiety type issue. Client must be open minded to be able to receive telepathic communication from their animal. Check out the FAQ's for more info and then contact me if drawn to this work.

Pet Hypnotherapy FAQs

Pet hypnotherapy may seem a bit unusual to some.  Many have questions, so here are some FAQs about Pet Hypnotherapy.

Is this real?

Yes it’s real.

Does Cindy hypnotize pets?

No, Cindy doesn’t actually hypnotize the pet in the way she hypnotizes people in her people hypnotherapy practice.  She does use a hypnotherapy technique on animals that is commonly used on people.

What kind of animals does Cindy work with?

Any animal-household pet, livestock, exotic, aviary, reptile, etc. that is close to one or more humans.  If a person is drawn to contact Cindy about an animal issue, that animal most likely is in close enough contact with humans to do some very good work.

How does she get into the animal’s mind?

With the use of empathy and telepathy.  She steps into the animal’s mind and body and then does a form of hypnosis on herself—as the pet. 

Does Cindy have to be physically near the pet?

No, most of the animal work is done through distance--email or a chat is best.

What is this about a book being written?

Cindy is writing a book: Pet Hypnotherapy-Case Studies and may use you and your pet’s issues for a case study in this book.  All human names will be changed, but a picture of the pet may be published.  Your approval will be documented.  All writings and correspondence is the property of Cindy Attar, and these writings may or may not be published.

What is the cost?

At this time Cindy is offering the service strictly on a donation basis.  She lets people donate what they can and what they feel the service is worth, based on their economic and cultural conditions Cindy does believe that if the client pays for services they take it more seriously and better results happen for both the pet and person.

How many sessions does an issue take?

When Cindy take on a client (see Client Qualifications), she work specifically with them through completion.  It really depends on the time difference and how long it takes for email replies to answer that question.  Sometimes it takes a day or two, and sometimes it takes a week to do the work that is necessary and to set the owner up to continue the process.  A commitment from the client to do as asked and stick with the process is necessary.

What is the procedure?

After the initial qualifications are passed, the owner and Cindy have a conversation about the pet.  This generally is done through email or chat and rarely by voice.  One reason is to create a paper trail of what’s been said and by whom for future reference and/or submission in the book.

Can I have a session without the information being in a book?

Partially, by pre-arranged request.  Some unidentifiable information in readings may still be published.

How does a person/pet qualify to being a client?

First, a series of questions and answers to determine the suitability of the issue and the state of mind of the person/owner.

Client Qualifications

·         Serious about needing help with a specific animal issue—those that have tried everything to resolve the issue but have not yet reach success are the most common clients.

·         Open mindedness to accept information client may not want to hear.

·         Belief system to support psychic-type work.

·         Open minded enough to understand that they may be part of the problem.  And the solution may need to be that the human changes habits or behaviors.

·         Cindy will lead the sessions and certain things will be required of the client.  It is important that the client not quit mid-stream, and will commit to fully participating in the work. 

·         Agree to immediate (within maximum 24 hours for those clients with a large time difference) of each email response.  The quicker the response, the quicker the results. 

·         If owner participation in doing additional healing is required after the pet hypnotherapy work is completed, it is expected that the pet owner will follow through with this.  Cindy can teach you a good healing technique or you can use your preferred healing method.

Client Disqualifications

·         Having a primary intent to disapprove or discredit this work.  Cindy is not out to prove anything to anyone.  If you don’t believe in this work, that is fine.  Another means will be better for you to resolve your pet issues.

·         Cindy uses a sixth sense when dealing with people, and may choose not to work with a particular person because something “just doesn’t feel right”.

·         People who just want to be entertained or are curious.  This work is for serious issues only.

Will I be hypnotized?

No.

Do I need specialized equipment or tools for Cindy to do the work?

Basic tools, such as internet connection, knowing how to email photos, know the English language, typing skills to chat (Skype text chat -without video- works well) is all you need.  To donate it is best to have a PayPal account.

Can I donate by credit card?

Yes, through Paypal, even without a PayPal account.

Does Cindy do telepathic telephone readings?

No, just chat and email. 

Does Cindy find lost pets?

No.  That is the work of other animal communicators.  Cindy specializes in uncovering root causes and correcting problems only.

Does Cindy do fun readings?

No.  That is the work of other animal communicators.  Cindy specializes in uncovering root causes and correcting problems only.

Where is Cindy located?  What time zone is she in? 

Washington State, USA; GMT-8 (Seattle/Los Angeles time)
