UN-STRESSING LIFE—A TECHNIQUE
SEPTEMBER 11, 2010. Let me start right off with a testimonial from a client, and then I’ll explain what this is all about:
“Some years ago, I was in the midst of an emotional crisis, (not really all that unusual for me), but this was a big one, causing me a great deal of stress. I was leaving my home and city of forty years and was very upset and confused as to what to do and where to go next. I live on the East Coast and Jon is on the West so we worked by telephone. Once a week we spoke. He would lead me through a series of guided visualizations which I taped and listened to every day. They were extraordinary, touching me on a very deep level. They bi-passed the critical thinking part of my brain and without my really becoming aware of it, my whole perspective and psyche began to change. The stresses and anxiety took a back seat and I began to think more assertively and focus in on what I really wanted. Those weeks and months turned out to be a magical time of growth and learning. I owe Jon a debt of gratitude for this magnificent journey which certainly could not have happened without his help.”

For the past 15 years, I’ve been developing various methods to eliminate stress.
During the last two years, I’ve been receiving more queries about these strategies—because in the current economic landscape, people are feeling pressure.
The best technique I’ve found for dealing with stress is what I call the Excursion. Through what is popularly labeled “guided imagery,” I take people on Excursions into other spaces where energies that diminish stress and increase health enter the body and the mind.
These Excursions don’t require effort or struggle. The client simply follows along and receives the benefits of the trip.
An Excursion operates in two ways. It introduces de-stressing energies, and it allows the client, for a short time, to “inhabit” an alternate space where problems and solutions don’t exist.
In these landscapes, a person taps into fulfillment and idealized circumstances. The mind and emotions are given a heightened vacation and begin to learn, piece by piece, what self-realization feels like.
Life tends to train the mind to accept a condition of dissatisfaction. Getting out of this box requires the direct experience of something quite different: fulfillment.
The Excursion provides that.
The telephone sessions are short—about 15-20 minutes. Over the course of several sessions, the client, without effort, is reoriented in the direction of greater happiness and less stress.
Many clients record these sessions for later use.
