By Catherine Collautt, Ph.D. | in Fear, Manifesting, Self-Help

 ‘Assume I have failed to achieve my goal – what’s the most likely reason why that would have happened?’I was perusing my husband’s MBA assignment the other day and came across this question. – Which I loved. Now if you know me, and the work that I do, you might find that strange: ‘Surely Cathy [...]

Doing The Right Thing

By Catherine Collautt, Ph.D. | in Blog, Manifesting, Reality

What is the right thing to do? We want to do the right thing. And I’m not necessarily talking about the ethical or moral thing. We can be a little more gritty, a little more earthly – a little more personal than that. When I say we want to do the right thing, I mean: [...]

Working hard.

‘Are you working as hard as you can? Why?’Sounds like a question Michael Scott (Former Branch Manager, Dunder Mifflin Inc.) might ask us in one of his talking heads. And although it did make me laugh out loud, The Office isn’t actually where I heard it.I read this question in a Laughing Sage Wellness Group [...]

I recently heard a wonderful lecture, as her lectures characteristically are, by Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes (for info on Dr. Estes see Theatre of the Imagination in my Resources). In it, Dr. Estes tells the story of a boy, (and yes, later a man), whose godmother was the Goddess of Life and Death (if you [...]

By Catherine Collautt, Ph.D. | in Blog, Fear

Yesterday I posted the following quote from Marianne Williamson's A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles: "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, [...]

Our Deepest Fear: Part One

By Catherine Collautt, Ph.D. | in Blog, Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." How eerily, how profoundly, how earth-shatteringly true. A dear friend sent this quote to me the other day, from Marianne Williamson's A Return To Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles. Here is [...]

FIRST PROVOCATION: What is the WORST thing that could happen if you made the wrong choice (or failed, or didn’t get what you wanted)? (Choose the most appropriate for your desire, and the way you articulated it.) If you’ve ever had a session with me, you know that I ask this question a lot: What [...]
