The Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn

Many years ago, in utter despair, I watched helplessly as my whole life disintegrated around me. Left widowed and broke, I languished in my one-room rented apartment. The misery was indescribable. One day, while I was sitting alone, the shrill sound of the phone pierced through my sorrow. I picked it up and heard the voice of a friend. In contrast to my deep unhappiness, she oozed excitement. “I had a dream last night,” she blurted out. “You and I were taking a training course in hypnotherapy. It’s a sign! We must do it!” Indignation suddenly replaced my self-pity. She knew I had lost everything and had no money, so why was she even suggesting this? Undeterred by my negative response, she proceeded to say that no money was required yet because the deposit wasn’t due for a few weeks. Despite my sarcastic response that I had no way of getting funds, albeit in a few weeks’ time, she came back at me with the most insane advice I’d ever heard: “Just sign up for it, Chris, and the money will come.”

I had always prided myself on being a very down-to-earth person, but for some reason that day my rational mind went on vacation and I ended up enrolling in the course. Three days later, there was a knock at my door. A neighbour stood there with a piece of paper. She handed it to me. “This company is offering a week’s work mailing out flyers, would you be interested?” I took the job. That one week turned into several more, which paid for my course deposit. Then the manager, hearing that I had some experience in advertising, offered me the junior marketing role. This regular work and increase in salary ended up funding my entire training. Since that time I have been on a 47 year spiritual quest. As well as hypnotherapy, I have added psychotherapy, soul psychology, healing, metaphysics, EFT, flower remedies and scientific hand analysis to my skills. I was also guided to set up a Metaphysical Society, which has trained hundreds of people, consequently touching the lives of thousands. When your Soul calls you to do something, it will also set up the people and situations to help you. Of course, you have to be receptive to its messages and be willing to act on them. If you are going through a challenging time right now and things seem to be falling apart, it is generally because the old ways of being are no longer serving us and our Soul is trying to take us in another direction. This can be a time of suffering and confusion but spiritual practices coupled with psychological understanding can really help.
