The Purpose of This Blog

As a counselor and life coach, I love to empower people by sharing things they can do to heal from addictions, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. I understand these things on a personal and a professional level. I gratefully acknowledge the Savior, Jesus Christ, in all of my work.

What Is BSFF and How Can It Help Me?


Dr. Larry Nims is a psychologist. He became discouraged as people returned with the same problems over time, even though they had both worked hard to overcome them. He felt like there must be a more effective way to help people get better for good.  Over years of study and prayer, he was inspired to develop the method known as Be Set Free Fast.  When I took the training in 2015, I knew that my years of searching for a better way were over. I had finally found what I was looking for! BSFF has changed my life, and I hope you will learn how to use it so it can change yours!

The way I like to describe how BSFF works is this: Have you ever played with a Kaleidoscope?  As you change the kaleidoscope, it goes into a completely different picture as you turn the shaft.  You will go from one view to a totally different view by turning the shaft.  Well, with BSFF it's like you're turning the shaft of a kaleidoscope, and you put in a new template.  You are shaking off the old beliefs with a "Cue Word", and then replacing them with truth and light.  (Instructions to your Subconscious Mind make the "Cue Word" have the profound effect it has.) It is a beautiful process--as beautiful as a kaleidoscope!  (No wonder we used to love those things!) BSFF works in the level of consciousness.  Our consciousness oversees our chakras and meridians, so doing proper work using BSFF can be profound.  I have learned that working with consciousness and awareness is like working with the light that projects into the kaleidoscope.

BSFF is a very language-based method.  Although language is not my forte, I have loved the language of the scriptures throughout my life.  So I came to realize I could bring my love of the scriptures into my BSFF methods.  I have been amazed at the results.

On Youtube Dr. Nims giving a short introduction to Be Set Free Fast (BSFF).  It seems too good to be true, but the process was inspired by God and is truly life changing.  It will probably take some study and training for the method to be as effective as it can be due to what Dr. Nims calls "Failsafes", which are basically the reasons we keep re-creating our problems and issues.  You can order Nims manual and a training online.  It will probably be most effective to work with someone trained in the method if you have real chronic problems, but hey, miracles happen:-)

How to Create a Feeling of Hope



This is in response to a question a friend asked me: "How do I handle it when my student attempts suicide?"  She didn't mean how to handle it professionally, but how to handle it personally.  How do we stay strong when others we love are hurting deeply?  Hurting themselves?
I certainly don't have all the answers, but this is what I do.....
  1. I focus on being grounded and pray for help.
  2. I do S.K.Y. (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) breathing every morning.  I love this type of breathing and highly recommend the "Art of Living" breathing workshop if you can afford it.  If not, deep meditative breathing can be helpful (that's another blog for another day:)
  3. When I am really needing to feel hope due to a specific situation going on, I listen to Dr. Mitchell Gaynor's Meditations for Sound Healing Cd.  He has a meditation on it called "Meditation for Creating Hope."  I LOVE that meditation! (I love the entire cd.)
  4. Gratitude thoughts:  I think of every little thing I can be grateful for.  As I do this I start to feel these "happy thoughts" literally start flooding my brain with positive "chemical."  Below are some examples
    1. I am so grateful for this soft couch I am sitting on.  It cushions my body so wonderfully.  I am very grateful to have this couch.
    2. I am thankful for my nice soft bathrobe.
    3. Speaking of that, I am grateful for these comfy slippers I have on.  I remember when my brother gave me these slippers.
    4. I am so grateful for such a thoughtful brother that lovingly gave me these slippers years ago.
    5. I am grateful that my brother loves me.
    6. I am so grateful for our relationship and how my brother has enriched my life.....etc.
  5. Tapping (EFT) can always be helpful.  But I don't want to tap all the time:-)
And that's what I do.  Below is Mitch Gaynor's Meditation for Creating Hope.
