He will bring you to the truth of what happened so you will be able to see it for yourself. Leonard believes you can’t get rid of an experience until you get true understanding. The issue you are dealing with will re-surface time-after-time in all areas of your life and in all of your relationships until you learn what you need to learn from it. He will show you the way to set yourself free. You will get enough understanding so you can learn what the experience had to teach you and then you will finally be able to let it go.
My childhood was anything but normal. From the age of six I have always had a sixth-sense about the world. Though I was not aware of it at the time, I now know that I had the ability to see, hear, and perceive things that others were not able to.
I was able to look at a photograph of a person regardless of when the picture was taken and know what was going on in that person’s life currently. Because this had been going on since I was a child, it was very natural to me. I didn’t really know what was different about me until I put the pieces together years later.
Next, my little friends had been telling me to study massage therapy. As with a lot of things in our lives, I did not ask myself why I had chosen it; but now I realize that it was an extension of what I had been doing as a boy. Massage is about recognizing energy in the body and determining how to manipulate that energy to create its maximum efficiency and effectiveness. It is about learning to figure out where people hold problems in their body and why.
I was learning about the energy that goes on with the body. When something has gone on too long, it lodges in the body and forces you to look at it. There are no coincidence in life . Everything happens for a reason. I believe that physical problems are the result of an unresolved issue, feeling or problem that has gone on too long and has now lodged in the body
After I had studied and learned about massage, I questioned my “little friends” what they wanted me to comprehend from massage. I was told that it was so that I would learn how to be there for others, understand the energies of the body, and master male-female energy.
But I still wasn’t done. The little guys once again had another plan for me. This time it was about learning rhythm. One night I was told to go to a country western dance club. I had very few social
skills, especially when it came to women and I was uncomfortable and shy.
I tried to dance, and the women literally walked off the dance floor rather than complete a full dance with me. It was a horrible experience. From that point on, I told my little friends that I needed to find a dance teacher.
I thought; if they wanted me to learn about rhythm, let them bring it on. So I said sarcastically, okay, if you really want me to do this, bring someone to me.
To my surprise, the very next day, a dance teacher was presented to me. From that point on, I studied dance for two and a half years, five days a week, four to five hours a night. This learning was another part of the puzzle that allowed me to develop my social skills, relate well to the female, and learn how rhythm relates to the body.
After I learned it, my little friends asked, “Now was that so bad? You became a great dancer, learned the rhythm of the body, became more grounded, and you have woman following you around.”
At age thirty, through synchronicity of events, I met a talented human teacher, Dr. Costa. He was able to show me the meaning of my life's experiences and help me put all the pieces together.
At my first meeting, he asked me whether I was willing to learn how to play the piano. Surprised, I asked him what he meant. And he said, just like learning to play the piano, it takes time and practice to learn who you are. And he asked me if I was willing to put the time and work in to it
From that point on, I trained for ten years to find out who and what I was. My goal at the time was not to help others, but to learn about all the phenomena I had experienced and how to manage it in the real world.
After two years of private therapy with Dr. Costa, I enrolled in his transpersonal hypnotherapy training classes in 1993 while I continued private counseling sessions and private training.
It was through Dr. Costa that I was finally able to be in a place where I could listen, so I asked my “little friends” why they were teaching me through dogs and not through people. And they answered, that I was not able to learn through people.
So most of my learning about life has been through dogs. I have been training dogs for twenty-five years and am the owner of Dog Whisperers (www.dominantdogs.com). While I train the dogs, I am also teaching the owners through their dog.
I found myself spilling information to the dog owner that nobody else could possibly know about them. In the beginning, I had no control over it, I just said whatever my “little friends” told me, like a kid that says anything that comes to their mind without the human filter. I didn’t understand the consequences of giving this type of information to people. People didn’t know how to take what I was giving them.
All of my life experiences led me to where I am today.
I have a transpersonal hypnotherapy practice. I met my partner, Shari Karney, an attorney and owner of BARWINNERS. We work with lawyers and law students helping them pass the California Bar Exam.
People can discover for themselves their own learning of any situation.
I am also Co-Creator of Thrive, Not Survive Seminars. (www.sharilkarney.com)
So, in closing I say: If you are unable to hear it, you are unable to see it you are unable to see it you are unable to learn from it, if you are unable to learn from it, you are unable to grow from it, and if you are unable to grow from it, you are unable to change.
Follow me on the pathway of discovering who and what you are. Remember, nobody else knows your experience but you. Be all that you can and want to be.
I hope to meet you on the pathway. It would be my privilege.
