Sedona Retreats - Sedona Vacations

Greg’s Monthly Message

Learning To Say, No!

Its been a very busy two months here in Sedona --the Magic Kingdom and for me it’s been a time about learning to say, “No.” During the month of March and April, I was booked two weeks to a month in an advance. I would say to a friend, I am booked solid for the next two weeks, I have absolutely no openings. Then I would get call from a potential client wanting to book a vortex experience or retreat and suddenly I am looking in my appointment book trying to squeeze them in! And that “squeezing” is of course on my day off or the half-day off. So much for “absolutely no openings”!

I don’t like to disappoint people and I am flattered that potential clients got a good vibe from my site and would call. Then I hear their story and I think I can really help this person! Like there isn’t anyone else in all of Sedona that also could be of assistance to them! 

This “not wanting to disappoint” started to get me into a trouble. I worked myself right into burn-out and getting sick. And that caused me to finally get it: I have to say no. So, for period of two weeks I said, “No”, to a about dozen people who called. I didn’t like it but it was the right thing for my spirit.

But here is the trick: how do you make a detour on this path before getting sick? That’s really the question I am guiding clients too. I have to ask myself, “During that first period of over-booking was my wisdom trying to talk to me?” Yup! I just wasn’t listening. I was letting some old habit-thinking cloud my wisdom. I knew I was pushing it. We always know! Right, my friends?

I see myself getting wiser already. I got a call from some nice people tonight wanting to go tomorrow (my day off). I told them I need to think about it for an hour—it was a borderline decision—not too tired but feeling a little voice inside trying to be heard. Within a few minutes of hanging up with them, I knew I needed to take the day off—it was clear to me. My spirit sees the big picture.

Many insights came from this for me: Listen and keep listening to that inner voice. I don’t need to help everyone! I am not superman! I can not forget to take care of my spirit! Which is what I trying to teach everyone—how funny! And now I have time to write my newsletter!

I know many of you have faced this issue, certainly many of my clients! So if you’re heading for Sedona and the boss wants you to shorten your vacation—just say, “No, I’m heading for the Magic Kingdom. I have an appointment with my spirit!”

A Ho,
Greg

The Wisdom Fairies

Once again during a session with a client, I said something that made me smile: "What I am really doing is talking to the Wisdom Fairies inside you!" I thought what a wonderful way of looking at what I do here in the Magic Kingdom called Sedona...read more

Two Cups & Deserving

This is a story that has been long overdue and two beautiful coffee cups finally ignited the telling of this tale! Last year on my 25th Sobriety Anniversary I decided I was going to buy myself a present. For years, I have wanted a plasma or lcd flat panel television--

Faith in The Tools God's Gives Us

Getting Motivated
(Questions)

I have never met a client who doesn’t believe in the mind-body connection but that conviction is very difficult for many to translate into action. I know it’s difficult to get motivated by something that “may” happen...read more

Recommended Movies

Lilies of the Field

A beautiful movie about faith starring Sydney Poitier. I caught this on TV last month and was brought back to my childhood. I remembered how special this film was to me growing up. It represents simplicity and style in filmmaking that sadly we don’t see much anymore. Mr. Poitier is so good, that as an ex-actor, I just sat back and shook my head in awe at his talent. I want to invite you watch a movie about believing in what’s possible. This one is food for your spirit.

Freedom Writers

This movie just came out on video and stars Hillary Swank. I planned on not liking this movie because it looked like a remake of Dangerous Minds starring Michelle Phiefer. I was stunned at the power of this true story about teaching kids from the projects who are truly growing up in a war zone. Miss G, the teacher, utilizes the terror of The Holocaust to penetrate these bright kids. I spent most of the movie with tears in my eyes. Watch this one, brothers and sisters--inspiring.

These are quotes from a book I am writing:

"Warriors believe that all people have a spiritual essence inside them. They know with certainty that people can change--no matter what!"

Recommended Book

Somebody Should Have Told Me
By Jack Pransky

Have you ever read a book that has just blown you away so much that you really can find the words to describe it? That's me, right now! I am honored to have Jack as one of my teachers. He has been supporting me enormously in the past few months to raise my work to a new level. And the incredible results with clients are evident.

I think this book is one the clearest and most informative written about learning to access our inner wisdom and how important thinking is in our life. In the book, there are many personal stories from everyday people who suddenly saw something deeper and found a happier life. Jack, also, includes dialogues during sessions with clients that I found really helpful. My nose is buried in these pages and I just getting one insight after another.

Thank you, Jack, thank you. This book is a major contribution to the personal growth field. I am honored to recommend it.

Thanks J!

Music

Led Zeppelin

Their music just makes me feel...cool! It's part of who I am. Once on a vortex experience, a client said to me that he didn't much care for Zeppelin! I proceeded to hike him up a 50 degree slope! We got to the top and we're looking at another little climb and I said, "What was that about Zeppelin?" He said, "They're the best there is, Greg!" LOL
