Intentioning: the soft approach …5 steps for relaxation and focus

as offered by Steve Karas and Sign of the Flying Turtle llc

I was a strange child, hard-working and independent but spacey. I spent much of my time praying meditating and playing music. Later I found I enjoyed writing, especially poetry, but I had trouble keeping focused in school.

When I was a young man going through some big life changes, taking a break from creative counseling studies at Uconn, I found myself in New Haven, depressed and seeking meaning and identity among the people in the streets.

A yoga teacher and Shaklee Coordinator, Frank Zarafis, told me about a woman who offered an adaptation of Silva Mind Control in her home, and even after I had moved to Hartford I hitch-hiked to New Haven to attend her sessions.

Much later when I was working at the Institute of Living, Dr Charles Stroebel offered biofeedback training, and Quieting Reflex or QR, his method for maintaining an alert mind in a relaxed body.

Since then by refining and using these types of mind-body techniques over the past 40 years as I became a therapist and hypnotherapist, I was able to navigate many challenges and learn to focus on goals much more effectively.

Intentioning: the soft approach is a useful tool for overcoming artists block, stress-free creative performance and study/exams, and for reinforcing any goals of your choice, including healthy life-style.

Free sample sessions are available at Open House at The Center For Holistic Empowerment on the

third Saturday of the month from 12 to 3.

Most people find it an enjoyable experience, and I hope you do as well!
