Jenny Smith has just returned home
from the Bahamas. She was attending the March 2005,
2 Week EDUCO™ seminar with Dr. Tony Quinn.
Here she shares some of her
experiences both on the seminar and her life since returning from the
seminar.
Jenny is a Life Coach and Designer
and lives in
California, USA
What inspired you
to go to the EDUCO™ 2 Week Program?
"That's the right word - "inspired"-because the calm, quiet,
knowing voice of my own Spirit made it perfectly clear that I was going to
attend the EDUCO™ program. When I first heard about it, it sounded
very interesting and pretty daunting. Two weeks! And a lot of
money for someone (me) who had no source of income or any specific plans "in
the pipeline. But then I just got quiet about it. Stopped all
the chatter about money and time and what will people think/say, and by the
time I had another conversation with Michelle the next day, it didn't really
matter what else she had to say, I already knew I was going to go. It
was just that simple. And then, two weeks of procrastinating with the
payment, letting my inner chatter turn up again. it almost became a game to
see if there would be any REAL obstacles that would come up so I would have
an excuse not to go. I mean, really - what could be so remarkable in a
two-week seminar that would cost all that money? I'd never heard of
this Tony Quinn guy. Is this just another rah-rah, "feel-good and then
come home to the same old thing" kind of seminar? And the answer in my own
mind was always this: If there's something in this that will actually
and finally give me the tools to drive my own mind, decide what I want to
think about, design my own life AND ACTUALLY GET THERE, then there's no
amount of money that would be too much." And with those thoughts would come
waves of feelings - anticipation, excitement, my imagination rolling.
I mean, think about that for a moment: What's it worth to you to know
EXACTLY how to create your own desires? To live a life that YOU
design? So, the Universe conspired to get me there. Appointments
got cancelled or postponed - some of them before I even made calls. I
had Frequent Flyer miles from all the way back in 1989, so I could fly First
Class as a symbol of the value of this adventure. Everybody lined up
to take care of my life for two weeks so I could completely immerse myself
in what was to come. It all became more and more obvious. I was
going! I was already there!
What was the
greatest benefit you received from the seminar?
"The greatest single benefit? That I
can come into the present, the flow of LIFE and that creative spark, any
minute, every minute, whenever I want to. And what's there is
absolutely magnificent. Being able to DO that is a tie with being able
to TELL that to others, and to offer up an opportunity to bring this "secret
success formula" into their own lives. I've already seen glimmers of
recognition with friends who have needed to get out of their dramas and back
into LIFE. And the bounty in my own life grows more and more."
Did the seminar
meet your expectations?
"OK. do you remember
the movie "Contact" with Jodie Foster? Remember the part where she's
in the space/time vehicle, and she emerges from a worm hole to behold
multiple galaxies and billions of stars and worlds out her window?
She's in tears, with a look of pure amazement and bliss, and she says, "They
should have sent a poet - they would have the words to describe this. no
words, no words." Now, that may sound a little dramatic to describe a
seminar, but it's SO appropriate to describe what's possible to experience
with what I learned from the seminar -- when you take advantage of the
capacity we ALL have to move with all of our mind, from the self-conscious
through to the unconscious and on to the purely conscious -- directly on to
the Spirit - where the answers and solutions are patiently waiting for
us to arrive.
I purposefully kept
my expectations low - I did take some fear with me ("what if I spend all
this money and I come back just the same as before?" "What if I don't get it
- whatever 'it' is?"), and over the course of time during the seminar, that
anxiety about "doing well in class" began to diminish as I let go more and
more. So perhaps anything would have been more than my expectations -
but truly, as I spend a little time each day typing up my 200 pages of
notes, I have the thrill and fun and wonder of re-living so many beautiful
and fun and magical and inspiring moments, I know that this was way beyond
anything I expected or imagined. And as for the more "normal" stuff -
I am so thankful for the opportunity to have met some remarkable people, to
have been able to witness and experience the movement and progress of so
many others in the seminar. That creates friendships for life, and
resources that are now available around the world to continue to tap into
this stream of creativity."
Share any
specific magical situations that have resulted since your return?
"Oh,
boy. the list is long, so I'll keep it to something manageable here:
One of the songs we played A LOT in the Bahamas was "Don't Worry Be Happy."
One week after returning from Seminar 46 (April 2005), attended a big
conference in Las Vegas. While having dinner with two women I had just
met, and while enthusiastically sharing some of my experience about
the seminar with them, my dinner check came, at the bottom of which was
typed "Don't Worry Be Happy!"
About two weeks after
the seminar, while driving my VERY trustworthy car, it began to lose all
power, late at night, on a busy street in San Francisco. Now, some of
my friends will tell you that being "stuck" in the big city is
something that would have been pretty scary to me. in the past.
Instead, the events that ensued, which took a total of three hours, became
events that I consciously DECIDED to take as something between a comedy and
a wildlife adventure (the people on the streets of SF are pretty
interesting). I got home safely (50 miles) and with only some funny
stories to tell. I'm not sure I would have created the same state of
mind without the tools I learned just two weeks prior.
Since coming home, I
have received three opportunities for consulting work, and have received new
requests for my life coaching services. I no longer worry about if or when
or how I'll be making money in my life again. Now I simply KNOW the
flow of abundance will begin again, and it will be from sources that I
DECIDE will be best for what I want in my life.
A dear friend owes me
a great deal of money. It was due to come back to me right around the
time I was to return from the seminar. It didn't. So, I had a
choice: I could decide that my friend didn't value our relationship,
or wonder if I would ever get paid back, or worry that I had this debt
on my credit card and wonder how or when I'd be able to pay it off. but as
it turns out, I couldn't stay in any of those thoughts at all. It's
almost like I'm unable to assign anything negative to this experience -
where, believe me, in the "past," I would definitely have reached for
any/all of the above thoughts. Instead, I have already shifted
the energy around that money, in a way that has
given me several great ideas as to what will grow out of it - whenever it
comes my way. Imagine thinking about money as energy, as a means to an
end, rather than the way most people think about it. That, for me, is
a HUGE shift. Now I can create what I want and then have money FOLLOW,
rather than thinking about money first. the power, the creativity, is with
the end product, and money will just happen to show up. WOW.
Little things are
happening every day: Friends and complete strangers are telling me how
great I look - at least two people a day. I FEEL great.
Throughout the day, I do what I enjoy doing, I do what keeps me in a state
of well-being, which is our birthright, our inheritance. I see
little reminders everywhere that I'm on the right track, perfect place and
time. And if I "have to" do something that isn't my first preference
in that moment, I consciously decide what/how I'm going to think about it,
and the state of mind I want to have with the experience. I can FEEL
the Energy, the connection with Life. That's power!"
What advice can
you give to others who are considering going to the EDUCO™ 2 Week Seminar?
"Just be quiet and listen to your
guidance. Take a moment to put the normal chatter aside, and feel
what's in front of you. Put yourself at the end of the experience, and
DECIDE what you want to experience in your life. You will then know if
it's time for you to make this step. If it is time for you, I can tell
you that your life will never be the same again. And if you do DECIDE,
the obstacles will become experiences you will look back on, sometime during
the seminar, and you'll wonder why you ever thought they seemed so huge.
You will be the driver, the designer of your own life - whatever you want it
to be. And the Universe is just waiting for you to place your order,
and to align with your heart's desire. The flow of abundance, success,
happiness, peace. It's all there for you - go for it!"
