A long, long time ago I did a prosperity consultation with a lady who had just lost a very mundane and low paid job she'd held for 25 years. She was given to saying on many occasions, "Well, life's not a bowl of cherries ..."

This statement is very true, and today, we're going to do a short version of what I did with that back then for this lady to get her over her negative attitude. It really worked for her; she got a much better job within the week and has never really looked back since.

So, if you will, now or in a moment, close your eyes and see before you a big bowl of delicious, luscious cherries. Ripe, clean, and perfectly delicious; they are sparkling too because there are still some small water droplets remaining which refract that light that shines on them.

If you want, take one and eat it. Very nice indeed!

Now, let's back up a moment here.

The bowl is standing on a table, covered in a white table cloth; the table itself is standing in beautiful meadow, fresh green grass, soft and fine, and the day is simply beautiful.

The sun is shining brightly, the sky is blue with small fluffy white clouds; there is a light breeze stroking your skin.

In the emerald green luscious meadow grass there are flowers, small wild flowers, but each is perfectly formed, many colours, many shapes.

As you raise your eyes, you see that the meadow has a fresh spring that runs through it; living water dancing and sparkling, and behind the meadow is a forest of stately beautiful trees, swaying in the fresh breeze.

Above the treetops, you can see in far distance, great mountains, snow capped, strong, drawing your eyes far and away.

Yes, it's very true.

Life is not just a bowl of cherries.

It is so much more than that, it is simply breath taking.

Be blessed in all you do,

About The Author

At age 17, Silvia Hartmann left Germany for the United Kingdom. Armed with a keen intellect, a deep fascination for all living things and a healthy dose of scepticism, Silvia embarked on her life long research project into human thought, behaviour and destiny.

“I don’t think it’s right that things should be so difficult or that our lives should be so hard,” she wrote. “The Creative Order endowed each one of us with fantastic capabilities and so much potential – there has to be ways in which we can lead more satisfying lives, every one of us.”

She began studying animal behaviour in 1978, and soon found herself fascinated by the relationships people seek to form with companion animals which she studied in-depth for the next 15 years. This led her to writing her revolutionary thesis, The Harmony Programme, in 1993, which sets out in clear terms how energetic interactions directly create disturbed behaviours in companion animals, and how this can be cured simply, and safely.

During the years that followed, Silvia began to research the field of human psychology and behavioural interventions, finding hypnosis, General Semantics and NLP of particular interest and promise in preference to many of the older approaches and theories.

Working with metaphor and advanced language, Silvia created Project Sanctuary in 1996, an entirely unique, ecological and particularly humane form of metaphor self help therapy.

In 1998, Silvia discovered EFT Emotional Freedom Techniques and was fascinated. She also realised that here was a bridge which could lead people from the old mechanical universe towards the more correct and ecological “universe PLUS energy”, which had been an absolute reality for her ever since her work on the Harmony Programme proved to her the reality of the existence of “the enchanted world”.

After working with EFT for five years, and considerably advancing the field of Meridian Energy Therapies through her unique contributions which included three best selling books and the first ever MET professional trainings, Silvia created EmoTrance, an advanced system for energy healing and the repair and restoration of the human energy body on the individual level.

EmoTrance, being without dogma and working from a simple, yet truly revolutionary set of precepts, was gladly embraced by all who came in contact with this extraordinarily gentle, loving and powerful approach.

“I have put thirty years of research, experience and understanding into this system, making it as simple as possible and yet retaining the absolutely infinite possibilities it unlocks for any human being who wishes to be unlocked,” Silvia says.

Silvia continues to this day with her absolute commitment to finding out just what a normal human being can achieve if we take the road blocks out of their way.

Her special love and interest lies still, as it always has, in pure creativity and the human mind.
