A Butterfly in my Garden

It's been very hot in Pasadena -- triple digits projected as a high today -- so I was watering my garden this morning before any of my little plant friends experienced the "droopies" from the heat.  All of a sudden I spied a monarch butterfly on a lilac colored oregano flower.  Just yesterday at my yard sale we had been discussing a Monarch Butterfly photo of mine that was taken in Maryland. That discussion included Monarchs on the West coast and of course mentioned the groves of butterflies up the coast.  Wow, now I was seeing one in my garden. 

I didn't even argue with myself about whether it would be there when I got back, I went immediately into the house to get my camera.  When I returned of course it was no longer perched on the oregano.  A little voice within me said, "It's still here, just look around."  I listened, looked and there it was behind me and to my left on a cucumber leaf.  Thus, the above photograph. 

Why am I telling you this story? 

Because there was a time (not so very long ago, before RPT) when I would have argued with myself about making the effort to get the camera.  That voice inside would have said, "It'll never be here when you return."  "It's no use, you can't get close enough."  "Are you sure it's a Monarch?"  "Oh it's gone.  I told you it was no use." And on and on -- until the butterfly did indeed fly away, or the opportunity that had presented itself vaporized. Has this ever happened to you?

What I noticed this morning was that there was no argument, no hesitation, I retrieved my camera and listened to the voice that said, "Look around."  And there is was, as witnessed by the photo above.

In Reference Point Therapy logo the Monarch is a symbol of the transformation of our DNA.  I call that transformation "moving molecules around" so the energetic biological blueprint is different. 

Why do I call it a blueprint?

Metaphorically, I see that we have an internal set of plans from which our physical reality is continually building and re-building itself.  I call it a blueprint, though probably that's not a totally correct use of the term.  As I see it this blueprint is responsible for our automatic reactions and responses, for our feelings and ultimately for our beliefs.  It determines the structure, function and actions of our biology in the physical reality. 

Safe versus Unsafe

It's the reason we feel unsafe when there's no logical reason to feel unsafe.  Our biological blueprint holds the plans for our unconscious wiring -- the key associations to many reactions we don't understand.  Keeping the physical biology safe and providing for it's survival are two very important instinctual drives programmed into most if not all living things on this planet.  You can see it in fish, mammals and even in plants.  Why would we be different? 

When the blueprint's wires get crossed...

As little children we make meaning in ways that have little or nothing to do with the reality of the situation.  For example, last night I was working with a client who had an association of being present with someone wired to a threat to survival.  This association was created when the client was very young, and it was coloring all social interactions including friendships and relationships.  Of course there was more, but I think you get the idea with this example.  Associations that run (or ruin from our point of view) our lives can be created before we are born, when we are very young and experience trauma or during traumatic situations (spousal abuse, war, hazing) in later life.   If you want to know more about how early associations may be affecting you, call me at 818-590-0062.

Reference Point Therapy allows us to dissolve the associations, thus changing the blueprint.  I notice the changes in my life on a frequent basis - which is why I told you the story above.  My clients call me up just to tell me about how situations in their lives have changed and they are sure it is the result of our RPT work.  I'd be happy to talk with you about what it might mean for you. 818-590-0062

Specialists state that mortgage loans help people to live their own way, just because they are able to feel free to buy necessary stuff. Moreover, different banks present college loan for all people.

Nice picture of the Monarch butterfly!Did you know that ancient civilizations believed that butterflies were symbols of the human soul? For the Chinese and Japanese butterflies are symbols of joy and the essence of happiness. If I'm not mistaken, I think these are some of the possible reasons why the RPT used butterfly as the logo.

I think many people approach reading the wrong way: they try to force themselves to read, and see reading as a difficult and tedious chore.

Well, if that's how you look at reading, no wonder you don't have the habit!
