Heartfelt New Year’s Intentions Work Better Than New Year’s Resolutions

By Shift Doctors · Comments (3)

Tuesday, December 27th, 2011

We have all set New Year’s Resolutions before…. and… let’s face it… more often than not we have usually given up on them within 2 weeks to 90 days into the new year. And we are left feeling empty, guilty and powerless when we have failed to shed the pounds, give up the bad habit, complete the goal or project, or begin the new exercise regimen we had ordered for our self. We essentially self-sabotaged from the beginning because more times than not we failed to get into our heart when we started the process. Then we beat our self up when we fail.

You’ve got to want it: An effective intention cannot be half-hearted. It needs to be a want, not a should. Get in touch with your deepest self, and discover what it is that you want with all your heart. Then, affirm that or set that intention. What really matters is that you really desire it. The problem with so many traditional New Year’s resolutions is that they tend to be “shoulds” or “oughts” rather than true desires. They are often what we believe others such as spouses, parents, therapists, physicians or friends would want us to Read More→

Jay Conrad Levinson Speaks: Guerrilla Marketing as Sex

By Shift Doctors · Comments (1)

Monday, November 28th, 2011

-Our guest blogger- Jay Conrad Levinson is the author of the best-selling marketing series in history, “Guerrilla Marketing,” plus 30 other books. His books have sold 14 million copies worldwide. His guerrilla concepts have influenced marketing so much that today his books appear in 41 languages and are required reading in many MBA programs worldwide. He is currently collaborating with The Shift Doctors (Tracy Latz, M.D. and Marion Ross, Ph.D.) on a book designed to assist people who struggle with implementing tools learned in business or entrepreneurial coaching programs due to self-sabotage. For more on Jay Conrad Levinson visit www.gmarketing.com

Guerrilla Marketing as Sex

The whole idea of guerrilla marketing is to transform cold prospects into consenting partners. As with superb sex, marketers shouldn’t be in a hurry, shouldn’t direct their energies to disinterested people and must realize that the consummation of a loving relationship won’t take place without proper wooing, without knowing exactly what turns on the prospect.

When small business owners think less of marketing as an impersonal communication and more as a sexual journey, they will be far more able to market with success. In today’s cluttered environment of marketing, instead of pondering numbers and demographics, explore instead the concepts of romance and love.

That means realizing that falling in love with the right person and keeping the relationship delicious and satisfying is not so much a single major event as a step-by-step process. It begins by playing the field and determining just who you want to date in the first place. During this step, guerrilla marketers concentrate upon the compatibility factor. Read More→

How to Remain Centered Over the Holidays

By Shift Doctors · Comments (0)

Saturday, November 19th, 2011

Holidays, even in the best of circumstances, can be stressful due to family, work, school, and cultural expectations and responsibilities. A daily practice can pave the way to keeping you compassionately connected to your self, others and whatever Higher Power you understand or recognize. A daily practice can also reduce stress or anxiety and keep you focused on your journey to shift and transform even in the midst of stressful holiday encounters.

In order to depersonalize the daily stress, negative emotions, and thoughts that we encounter daily, we need to have a regular routine that keeps us balanced in body, mind and spirit. Various cultures approach this dilemma in many different ways using a daily centering practice called Dharma. This Read More→

Tuning Into the Wisdom of the Crystal Skulls

Sunday, November 6th, 2011

Crystal Skulls have been a subject of movies, books, folklore and metaphysical discussions for more years than The Shift Doctors (Tracy Latz, M.D. & Marion Ross, Ph.D.) have been alive. Many people shy away from crystal skulls for fear that they are scary, possessed or that they represent death.

What are the Crystal Skulls really about? What do they represent and why would anyone want one in their care? In the following video, The Shift Doctors give you the Ancient Wisdom version of what Crystal Skulls are about rather than try and scare you with a Halloween version. Enjoy!

Hope this was helpful to you and helped you understand more of why indigenous elders have worked with crystal skulls passed down for generations to continue the ancient wisdom of their tribes.

Loads of Light to you all!

Nature Awareness & Mindfulness: The “Sit Spot”

Wild Wanderings With Richard Cleveland

The Shift Doctors (TracyLatz M.D. & Marion Ross PhD.) have had the opportunity to take a wonderful Wild Edible and Medicinal Plant course in the mountains of North Carolina with Richard Cleveland, the Founder of The Earth School. During the past 17 years Richard has taught nature awareness and survival skills to thousands of people of all ages. He is an avid outdoorsman, fishing guide, writer, public speaker and a self-trained Naturalist. Some have called him “The Upstate’s Survivorman.” He teaches children as well as Navy Seals nature awareness and advanced self-reliance skills.

Richard’s Vision for Earth School is to create an environment where people can learn, share and respect the many gifts of Nature to connect with their roots (Mother Earth) once again. In this article, Richard describes a type of mindfulness practice which, with intention, can assist in reducing anxiety, pain, and stress. When using Richard’s technique, it is important to just be, observe and create awareness.

The Sit Spot – “An Experience for Life”:

Here’s a great idea to enhance your Nature awareness skills and it works for everyone! I call it a “sit spot”, (or “secret place” when I teach it to children). The good news is you usually don’t have to travel far. Here’s the concept…find a slightly out of the way place on your property, or perhaps at a nearby park and simply sit down, relax and just observe. You can even bring a chair if you’d like, though I prefer to sit on the ground to connect more directly with Mother Earth. This is a place that you should go to several Read More→

4 Intimate Love Connections: What Makes Love Strongest?

By Tracy Latz · Comments (0)

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Why do some love relationships last for 40+ years while others fade quickly almost overnight or erode over a few years with blistering anger or resentment? I have had many people ask me over the years: “Why do many love relationships fail?” or “I feel so guilty about my marriage failing- especially when I think about the idea of ‘What God has brought together, let no man set asunder! Do you think God can forgive me?’” The answer lies in first examining the 4 levels of connectivity in human relationships.

People can experience ‘Love Connections’ on 4 different levels:

1. Physical Connection- a physical attraction between 2 people. This occurs when one person is attracted to the physical attributes or body of another person. Common thought associated with this type of love connection: “Wow, I think he/she is so hot!”

2. Intellectual Connection- a mutual interest in the same thoughts, philosophies, topics of discussion, books, news items, or hobbies. Common thought associated with this type of love connection: “We can talk about things or debate topics for hours- time just flies by!”

3. Emotional Connection- this supramental connection occurs when two people can communicate deeply at times without words or without full verbal explanation and not just based on superficial body language. Common thought associated with this type of love connection: “Boy, they just ‘get’ me! We could finish each others’ sentences or know what each other mean without saying a word while other people are clueless.”

4. Spiritual Connection- occurs when two people have similar spiritual knowings (as opposed to beliefs) and are on the same spiritual path or share a common spiritual purpose; they see a relationship as Read More→
