Nature Smiling Twice

I love this photo of Nature smiling at us in two different ways.  Pay attention and notice how Nature is smiling at you today.  I know she is.

No Such Thing As Unhappierness

Posted on 29. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I have set the intention to be honest with myself about my next steps in business and life. Everything from creating new products and that they will have value, to not drinking alcohol and eating better. Things are changing. But not really. I am just letting the true me come forward. It surprises me at times.

I am not sure what my diet will end up consisting of, but it is clearly shifting. I am a little worried about how it will appear to others. Again pre-judging others for me. I think eating consciously and not drinking alcohol will look all woo woo and superior and that others will not like me for it or not be able to relate to me, but that is just fear. (more…)

Resistance Is Futile

Posted on 20. Apr, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Many people I know are experts at resisting change.  I definitely qualify as a change resistor at times.  I am sure you know a few folks like this as well.

This resistance always makes me laugh, because if I told them I was going to take away their right to change they would fight me tooth and nail to keep it.

We hate hearing that we have to choose what we want by a certain date because after that date we can’t change our choice.  Even if our right to change is restricted for only a year, like with health insurance, we are uncomfortable with this limitation.

Change is why we are here in this life.  I mean, what would be the point of living if we never changed?  We would just be a bunch of little, uncoordinated, inarticulate bundles of human.  If we did not change, we would be new born babies our entire life. (more…)

Taking the day off

Posted on 18. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

I decided to take the day off and go play in the mountains yesterday.  I was so excited to go play that I did not sleep well the night before.  All the ideas and plans for how I would make the most of the day were rifling through my head.

I woke early to make the most of the Spring sunshine and found myself so tired I had to lay back down.  So much for plan number one of starting early.

Once I finally woke up and got the day started I decided to head to a local hot springs for a soak.  I booked an hour in a private bath figuring that would be a good prelude to an early afternoon of hiking or snow shoeing in the mountains. (more…)

Taking a Break From Frustration

Posted on 10. Mar, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever had one of those days where you felt like you weren’t getting anything accomplished?  I do.  In fact I had one of those days yesterday.

I wanted to get things done.  In fact there were lots of things I wanted to accomplish yesterday, but I couldn’t seem to make headway on any of them.

The harder I tried, the more frustrated I became.  So, naturally, I tried harder.  I was going to push my way through this and get something done. (more…)

Cake for Breakfast

Posted on 26. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

A couple days ago I woke up wanting cake for breakfast.  You can’t eat cake for breakfast I thought.  That is just not right.  But it was what I wanted.  Man did I want it.

I ate a banana in an attempt to distract myself from this craving.  Didn’t work.  Maybe a hard boiled egg.  I am just need some protein.  That will take care of things.  Nope.  I simply need more to eat, but it needs to be good for me so how about a bowl of oatmeal.  Well the oatmeal was good, but I still wanted cake.

Screw it!  No one is here to see me eat it anyway. (more…)

Follow the Energy

Posted on 22. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Have you ever felt like you needed to do something like write a paper for school, clean the house or get a report done for work, but just could not seem to do it. Try as you may, you just could not make it happen.

Everything was easier and more enticing to do than the task at hand. Checking email, doing laundry, doing your taxes, cleaning the office, baking cookies. You name it, virtually anything could distract you from what you wanted to get accomplished.

I was in this exact situation last week as (more…)

Blogophobia

Posted on 08. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

Blogophobia is an intense, unrealistic fear that inhibits me from believing I have anything to write about in my blog.

I self diagnosed this condition in myself earlier today and, until I just started typing, have been suffering from its effects all day.

It is kind of funny to be paralyzed by the fear that I have nothing to write about when there really are no limitations on what you can write about on a blog.  Even writing about the fear of writing, as I am now, is a perfectly viable subject.

Really all it took (more…)

Hello World!

Posted on 04. Feb, 2010 by in The Goo Blog

So this is the Blogosphere.  I like what you have done with the place.  Very spacious!

So who I am and what I do?

My name is Ken Bechtel and I am a spiritual counselor.  What does that mean?  It means I work from a space of spirit or energy to assist my clients in finding their answers.  This involves spirit to spirit communication.

We are all made up of energy just like everything else on the planet.  Many of us call this spirit.  I connect with my clients on this level, using my abilities as a clairvoyant, to explore what is going on with them energetically, in present time, so they can be empowered and make informed choices going forward.

I focus on employing the power of amusement to facilitate transformation.  Much like water is virtually a universal solvent in the physical world, amusement is the solvent (more…)
