For so many of us, writing is something we just HAVE to do and I'm so glad to meet so many kindred spirits here.

Comment by Hypnoblonde on December 18, 2010 at 9:29am: Great timing Bill, you must have read a few people's minds on this one.

Trying to recall if I was in a bit of a trance state when Dr. Bob came thru from the other side and gave me the proverbial swift kick to write this book. Being empathic it is hard to say.Not being a "writer" it started me on a very interesting journey.

I have learned a lot about timing. When my pc died and I was without for several weeks and a bit frustrated because I couldnt just focus on the book...other things came to me that needed to be in the book. When these type of things I see clearly that there is often a bigger plan we are NOT conscious of.

Most of the book is based on knowledge I have but so much also is coming thru being open/submissive to the world around me so that when the answer or something that needs to be in the book is able to get thru.

As with trancing clients, I start with a basic outline as to where I am going but I tend to be "open" or in light trance myself so when that "bigger power/universal consciousness" speaks I hear.

Back to writing.. When I am "moved" it flows. Lately someone gave a great suggestion, I have bounced it around and it is NOT flowing. I know I what I want to say and have all the pieces but it is not easily coming together. Part of it is needing to learn a skill that I dont have yet.

I am hoping to have this all together within a short time. It's been an over two year process but it feels that it is more because of the time and learning I have gone thru.

There is a chapter to include hypnosis and other states of mindfulness. This is all part of this great evolution that we as humankind are going thru.

Thanks Bill for starting this group.

Comment by docregal.com on December 18, 2010 at 9:01am: Thanks for the invite, Bill. Indeed, penning (as well as typing) words is a great skill that is widely used in our profession.

Comment by Cheryl Westley on December 18, 2010 at 7:37am: Excellent. I need to pick up writing again... I used to do a lot of it.

Comment by teri on December 18, 2010 at 7:34am: Do others find it easiest to recall a lucid dream by writing it down or telling someone about it first as once the illusive is written down the die is cast some subtle nuance lost or misinterpreted in the rush to capture it in form before it evaporates like dawning mists in sunlight.
