In every moment, as much as possible, be in the moment. We miss so many moments because we see them as "fillers" that build up to a bigger, more important moment. We make the mistake of not taking each moment individually and experiencing it fully. Interact with each moment and each person with a fresh perspective, without letting past experiences and future expectations taint your output. Get out of your comfort zone, find new ways of reacting to and interacting with every-day events and people, and see if you can find reactions and responses that work better for you, letting you feel more empowered and more aligned with the flow of life. Rather than thinking of things as "mundane, every-day events, things that just have to be done, and its better to just do them the way you've been doing them for ever because some things are just a means to an end, no need to put in more effort into them, they will remain boring and mundane"... think of them as opportunities to discover more strengths within you, those which guide you to make the most of each moment, using it to discover and share your most grandest potential in every moment of every day. ____________________________________________________ When someone keeps doing things that hurt you and then keeps asking for forgiveness, what do you do? Hate them for taking you for granted? Hate yourself for allowing them to keep hurting you? Hate yourself for pretending to forgive them, knowing that deep down you really haven't? If that's the case, all you are doing is surrounding yourself in energies of hate, anger and frustration. If you really truly feel that you have tried your best and feel that you cannot forgive this person any longer...give it one more shot. This time, do it with the understanding that this person has no power over you other than the power you give them by getting affected by their acts and words. Change your reaction to their usual antics, which are nothing more than their need for attention and power. See them as a child who is throwing a tantrum to get the attention of a parent who doesn't give the child attention when he is being good, so he is willing to be 'bad' just to get the parent's attention. So change your reactions - ignore the tantrum, give them attention when they are being good, praise them for their positive qualities, appreciate them. Do this whole heartedly for as long as you can. If even this does not help, it may be wise to detach yourself from them, whether literally by physically moving away from them, or by creating a safe space between you and them so that you are not available to them on an emotional and mental level. This is not accepting defeat, this is being kind to yourself, which is your first and foremost responsibility. ____________________________________________________ If you wish to learn and grow, it may be worthwhile to be open to an opinion that is different from your own. It doesn't necessarily make you wrong, if someone else's opinion makes more sense. It makes you cognizant of the fact that two opposing truths can exist in the same space. And seeing more than your own perspective helps you expand your vision, mind, and soul. It helps you realize that answers can come to us in more ways than one. They can come through us and sometimes they can come to us. ____________________________________________________ Allow others to be who they are, exactly as they are, without judging, insulting or trying to change them. Remember that you have attracted the people in your life so that you can learn something important about yourself from them. So complaining about who they are is only an indication that you are weak and unwilling or not ready yet to learn and grow. Start looking for your learning every time you feel angry or frustrated by someone in your life. Once you have understood your learning, the person in question will stop bothering you, either by exiting from your universe or by becoming acceptable to you. So until the relationship either evolves or dissolves, keep looking for your learning rather than looking for faults in the other person.____________________________________________________Its OK to not be in control and sure of everything at all times. Its OK to experience uncertainty and doubt. Its OK to not know. Because only when we go through times of ambiguity, we learn how to flow peacefully with the flow of life, to make the best of what is, to have faith and trust in God and the universe. ____________________________________________________ One of the biggest moments of freedom comes when you realize that all the appreciation and love that you need is already within you. When you stop looking for it on the outside, expecting it from others, demanding it, craving it; that's when it starts growing from within, stronger and more permanent than you had ever expected. That's when you become at peace within yourself. There is no need to rely on praise, encouragement and rewards by people, communities and religions to validate what you are and what you do. Appreciate it if you have it, but don't become reliant and addicted to it, don't make it the reason for you to do things and be a certain way. ____________________________________________________ Sometimes we get so used to being in the dark, that when we come in contact with light, we close our eyes. Sometimes we get so comfortable in the tunnel that when we get close to the end, we build more tunnels. Its time now to be brave, embrace the light, get out of the comfort zone, let go of the fears, the self-limiting beliefs that have been holding you back in the tunnel. Step out there and live your most empowered potential. ____________________________________________________ Awareness is everything. Not just part of it. Not some aspect of it. Awareness is everything. Look, therefore, to your awareness, not to your thoughts. Your thoughts about things can betray you -- and often do -- because they can be colored by emotions. Your awareness cannot. Just observe what is so. Then observe what you think about what is so. Then ask yourself, "Why am I thinking that?" And, more important, "What would happen if I thought something else?" ~ Neale Donald Walsh ____________________________________________________ Do you know the difference between being sensible and being fearful? Sensibility reminds you to look both ways before crossing the road. Fear compels you to stay frozen on the side walk. If you feel stuck right now in your life, you are most probably functioning out of fear. Go ahead and cross the road. The coast is clear. The only obstacles are in your mind. ____________________________________________________ Our lives are run by two main emotions - desires and fears. Desires move our focus to what we need to have in order to be complete - we are always striving to be 'more'. Fears force us to look at what we don't want to lose - which makes us paranoid about being 'less'. What we don't realize is that we already have within us everything that we need to reach our highest potential. And what we have within us can never be lost, no matter how much we ignore it, stifle it, or give away from it. And what we have within us most certainly does not need anything from the outside to be 'more'. All it needs is for us to focus inwards, discover it, accept it, and nurture it.____________________________________________________ Latest Testimonials, July 2010 07/29/2010
Najib Makhdoom, 39 yrs male, Director Business Development All my life I believed that there was more to this existence than met the eye. That all was not as black and white as science would have led me to believe. That there were things beyond measurement, beyond observation and beyond scientific belief that were nevertheless real. I searched for tangible evidence of this for many years and all I came across were anecdotes and circus fortune tellers... until I met Zimmy. Not only has she helped me find many answers but through unexpected physical and emotional healing proved that there is more to life than the limits that science and our own perceptions and emotions seek to impress upon us. Thank you Zimmy for helping me reach a higher level of consciousness, for helping me find a greater sense of peace and of course, for helping me live a pain free life :) Gaurav Rai Bahl, 30 yrs male, Director Sales & Marketing. 6 months ago I found myself in a very bad space being diagnosed as clinically depressed and heading for self destruction. Anti depressants / alcohol were not doing a great deal, and I found just functioning very hard going. Friends, family & myself had no clue as to what was causing all the irritability, anxiety & panic attacks. It felt like I was surrounded by darkness & there was no ray of light in the distance. It was then, when I came across Dr. Zimmy Khan, a clinical hypnotherapist in Dubai, UAE, at a workshop / seminar. At first, I found it next to impossible to believe anything that ‘hypnotherapy & energy healing’ had to offer. But then I thought, what have I got to lose? My very first session, changed my life around. It almost felt miraculous. All the discomfort, anxiety, negativity & depression started to fade away. I did not touch anti depressant pills ever again. Over the next sessions I began to feel normal, life confident, positive, overjoyed, optimistic & full of energy. Life got back on track. Family, friends & work colleagues often tell me about changes they see in me now. I now come across as a much calmer & balanced person than what I was before. I am able to control my emotions instead of them controlling me. I sleep better at night and feel blessed & abundant upon waking up. I am now able to focus on my goals & don’t get distracted by surrounding negativity. Hypnotherapy & Theta Healing have opened my awareness to my personal power to control my life. I have not felt this relaxed in a long time. Zimmy made me aware of what my mind was capable of achieving. Every time I see Zimmy, my life changes in so many ways. I am thankful to Zimmy for helping me with my issues, she has brought me from complete utter emotional, physical, and even spiritual pain to enlightenment. Through hypnosis she has helped me enhance my life and make valuable changes. She is a gifted hypnotherapist & Theta healer and I would recommend her to everyone. Thank you Zimmy for everything! MK, 27yrs female, VP in Private Co My experience is not just about the ‘Epiphany’ that it is possible to achieve everything you desire in life, but also about ‘Empowerment’. I now know how to deal with the obstacles that appear in life, and also understand where they come from. Zimmy’s sessions have enabled me to answer the biggest questions I had about where my life was heading, and also given me the tools and ability to tackle fears and doubts, should they arise in the future. I approached Zimmy to work on several aspects of my life – to regain confidence in my personal relationships, to improve my intuition and to become a less competitive, more fulfilled person. Over the course of several different types of holistic treatments, primarily hypnosis, we worked together to understand the deep roots of my concerns, and also resolved them through positive reinforcements and building a stronger mind. We also worked on several specific issues that were not present in the beginning, and the results speak for themselves. Anxiety: As a new driver on the roads, I was easily intimidated by the intense Dubai traffic. I also had 2 accidents within a short space of time and I was physically ill from the stress of these incidents. Zimmy’s energy cleansing helped me to calm my nerves considerably and regain my confidence on the road. 8K Race: I decided to participate in a long distance run for the first time in my life. I had been on a fitness kick for sometime, and I wanted to challenge myself even further. This race was my chance to test just how far I could push myself physically. Through hypnosis and relaxation exercises I was assigned to work on at home, Zimmy taught me how to take control of the mental aspect of the challenge. I came 7th in the race and beat all my previous times, which was a remarkable result! Digestion: I had been suffering from severe constipation and went to try a colonic cleansing to naturally treat the condition. In between my colon cleansing sessions I revisited Zimmy for some sessions and there was a remarkable shift in my digestive system which also showed up during the colon cleansing treatments. As a more relaxed and happier person, the colon therapist noted that this had a direct impact on the proper functioning of my digestive system. I can look to Zimmy not just for motivation and guidance, but for honest advice and long-lasting results. I feel that especially in Dubai, but also in the larger world of alternative medicine, it is extremely difficult to find therapists who you can trust and who will also set you off in the right direction, in order to achieve your highest potential. In Zimmy I have found both. Truly this is something to be grateful for. Thank you Z! Vimi Joshi, 40yrs, female, Senior Artist - MAC ME and India. My sessions with Zimmy were life changing. After spending years and lots of money on different healing methods, a few sessions with Zimmy were miraculous. She is a true genius with incredible healing powers that are personally tailored to help you become the best of who you really are. 'Moved' by Gratitude 03/23/2010
6 years ago, within a matter of 2 hours, I lost all movement in the right side of my body. The morning started out like any other, but by 10AM, my right eyelid was drooping, the right side of my face and mouth had become numb, and my arm and leg had turned into lead. I rushed to the hospital emergency, and soon after an MRI was done, I was told by the doctors that I had a 2cm lesion (damage) in my brain, on the spot that controls movement of the right side, which was causing this sudden paralysis. They explained to me that this condition is incurable, and the best we can hope for is to control it, so that I don't develop any more lesions, which would lead to multiple sclerosis. They told me that they will start me off on medications immediately, but in order to build up to the optimum dosage, it will take a few months, as these medications are very strong and need to be increased gradually. They predicted that I would be able to reach the optimum dosage after 3-4 months and only after that, could I hope to feel some slight movement in the right side of my body, and even after that, it would take at least a couple of years, many hours of physiotherapy, and lots of luck to regain all movement completely. Of course they were kind enough to point out that I shouldn't get my hopes up too high and just wait and see how it goes. Well the one thing they were absolutely right about was that the meds were indeed very strong! After 3 days of taking them, I realized that not only was I paralyzed physically, I had also lost all connection to my mind, my ability to think, to stay awake, to focus. I was hallucinating, immensely drowsy and could not hold a thought for more than a fleeting second. This is what finally scared me - all this time the shock had kept me numb and disconnected from what was happening - but when I realized that I was becoming mentally paralyzed as well, that is what really shook me. In a rare lucid moment, I decided that its still early days, and since I will have to take this medication for the rest of my life, it would be better for me to understand how much of this mental paralysis is caused by the lesion and how much is caused by the meds. So I stopped the medication. Within a week the effects of the drugs had worn off and I could think again - what a relief! It is from that day that my journey began, the inspiring and empowering journey that has brought me to where I am today. From that day onwards, without having any prior knowledge of any form of 'energy healing' or any idea about the 'power of the mind', I started communicating with my body. Just like Tom Hanks would talk to that basketball in 'Cast away', I would sit by myself for hours on end and pick up my limp right arm or leg and talk to them. I would remind them about all the good times we'd had, all the moments that I had taken for granted when everything was working perfectly. I sent each and every cell immense gratitude for everything that it had helped me do all my life. I visualized myself doing both great and mundane things in the future with every aspect of my right side working perfectly and with perfect strength. I spent hours being thankful in advance for all of those things that I would do when I was fine again. I sent waves and waves of love and peace to all my cells. Within a couple of weeks, I could feel my face coming back to life, just like the feeling when the dentist's anesthesia starts wearing off. Within a month I was back at work, my leg was getting stronger with every day, my right arm was still in a sling, I was typing and writing with my left hand, yet was completely convinced that it was only temporary. I continued talking to my cells and sending them gratitude every single minute. And within 50 days, I was perfectly back to normal! After this life changing experience, I became keenly interested in everything to do with 'Mind over matter', 'the power of thoughts', 'the attitude of gratitude' etc etc. I made it my foremost priority to study all that I could about these transformative powers that we carry within us and yet keep looking for outside. It is this quest that transformed me from a hardcore corporate, intellectually-driven person into a full time Life Coach, Clinical Hypnotherapist and ThetaHealing Practitioner. This is how I was literally 'Moved' by Gratitude. And this is what has motivated me to conduct my Manifestation Through Gratitude Workshops regularly so that I can share the power of gratitude with others. Smoking Cessation Testimonials 03/23/2010
Sadia, 32yrs female, Businesswoman I've been smoking since I was 14 years old. I didn't actually know myself as an adult without a cigarette. I didn't start smoking because of peer pressure, so social smoking has never been the issue for me. Its something I do alone which made it tougher to quit. Skeptically I met Zimmy, but by the end of the meeting I was convinced that I want to try quitting through hypnosis. The next day I started my hypnotherapy sessions and for the first couple of days, after every session, I did sneakily try to smoke again. But by the 3rd session, I had no desire to even touch a cigarette and have been a non-smoker now for 3 months. I hate to be so stereotypical, but I have to say I feel amazing in every way. If you are a smoker, enjoy it as much as you can, but when you are ready, definitely go see Zimmy. I can't stop recommending her. As cliched as it sounds, she really has helped me get my life back on track. Sunny Rahbar, 32yrs Female, Gallerist I know I didn't want to smoke anymore, I hated waking up and smelling of cigarettes, and having no control over this habit and addiction. I felt that the cigarettes controlled me and I didn't want to be in that place anymore. That was the first step towards the most important change I made in my life. I stopped making excuses and decided to take the plunge. I thought that I wouldn't be able to do it, that Hypnotherapy wouldn't work for me. But that was 8 months ago and I haven't touched or even thought about smoking a cigarette since then! At first I dodnt think it would last but Zimmy encouraged me through the sessions and gave me the belief that I needed to persevere. It is possible to overcome the habit of smoking and develop healthier habits and its much easier than I imagined. Thanks to Hypnotherapy and to Zimmy, my life has improved in so many ways. Weekly epiphanies June 2009 to Feb 2010 02/26/2010
Nothing is ever solved, changed, or created by doing nothing or by standing still. Movement is the basis of the Universe. We are all energy beings, and energy is creative when it is moving. So start moving, don't stand still. Don't wait. Don't sit on the fence, unsure about which side to go towards. Put your foot down on one side or the other, swing the opposite leg over and start walking. You'll know before you take ten steps if you're going in the right direction. If you're not, simply turn back and go to the other side, this time certain that the other direction is correct. At least movement helped to clarify that, helped you to grow. Not to decide is to decide. Don't make choices by default, when you have the choice of being empowered. _____________________________________________________________ What is the purpose of your life? Is it simply to go through each day doing what needs to be done, and starting all over the next day? Do you sometimes wonder if you're missing the point? Do you feel that maybe you're stuck in the habit of looking through a tunnel vision lens at yourself and your life, and missing the bigger picture? Do you ask yourself what the difference is between doing and being? Why are we referred to as Human beings and not Human doings? Maybe because our main and big purpose lies in who and what we are being, and not what we are doing? What are you being while you are doing everything that needs to be done? Are you being grateful for everything that you are and becoming? Are you being humble and helpful and compassionate while you do things through your day? Are you being one with the creator, believing that everything that you are doing right now is meant to be taking you closer to your purpose? _____________________________________________________________ It is nice to let someone who admits an error feel better after doing so...not feel worse. If someone comes to you with an apology, or even just a small "oops...", think about what you could say to help them feel better about their lapse, rather than telling them that they probably don't even mean it, and all the ways in which they inconvenienced you, or made you look bad, or hurt you. Why? Because you will hope for the same grace from some one, on a day not too far off in the future ... _____________________________________________________________ Life offers us an amazing opportunity in every single moment to be and experience 'the best that we can be'. At every instant we have a choice to act out of fear (ego) or out of love. As many times as possible, remind yourself to act or react in a way that exudes love and respect for yourself and the other person. Even if you can only manage to do this once out of ten times, praise yourself for being open to growth and learning new ways of doing things, so that you can have a choice, where earlier you didn't. Very soon, due to the immense peace that comes from being in touch with love and positivity within yourself and sharing it with others, you will not need to remind yourself any longer to choose this state of being rather than the ego and fear based state. _____________________________________________________________ Whatever you are thinking, whether its something that makes you feel good or bad, just let it flow through you easily. If it's a good feeling, be grateful for it, enjoy it, and allow it to flow through you gracefully. There is no need to make a big deal out of it, trying to hold onto it, afraid that after good, there must be something not so good on the way. Or thinking that you need to make the most of it, hence focusing your attention on making it better, and by default making a perfectly good moment, not good enough. If its a feeling that's not so good, again, let it flow through you, don't fight it, because when you fight something, try to resist it, that thing becomes larger than life, it persists, and takes control of you. Just allow it to flow through you gracefully, and you will realize that its just a tiny attempt of the ego to get your attention, and when it doesn't get the usual big reaction, it just quietly settles down and fades away. Leaving you free to think thoughts that bring about good feelings :) _____________________________________________________________ Why is it so difficult for us to forgive others? Why do we find it so hard to let go? Sometimes, even years after a certain incident; sometimes, even after they have apologized; sometimes, when they have hurt you unknowingly and have no idea that you are struggling to forgive them. Why? Because we are usually under the misconception that we will be doing them a favor by forgiving them. That in fact, is not the case. When we forgive someone, we actually do ourselves a huge favor because through forgiveness, we release all the negative thoughts, emotions and energies that we are so desperately holding onto in our anger. Replaying the moment again and again in our mind, torturing ourselves in so many ways. It hurts us more than them, when we dont forgive. We find it hard to forgive because we think we are in the more powerful position when we hold back forgiveness. Actually we are the weak ones, if that's the kind of power we rely on to give us strength. We are also not able to forgive because we take everything so personally. Not everything another person does is done with the concious intention of hurting you. Sometimes they are just trying to protect themselves and that's the best they way they know how to protect themselves. Haven't you heard of the saying 'the best defence is offense'? We need to give allowance to others for their insecurities and their imperfections without taking things personally. So even if you do it for the most selfish of reasons, go ahead and forgive. First, forgive yourself for holding onto the grudge for as long as you did. Then, forgive the other person. Finally, be proud of yourself. _____________________________________________________________ If it seems like you are losing something or someone right now, don't be fooled. This is simply a situation designed for you to gain yourself back. Don't fight so hard. Let it go. Release it. If it was not supposed to be removing itself from you now, it would not be doing so. It will never return to you in the same exact form, and it is not intended to. If it returns at all, it will be in a higher form, and so will you, to receive it. That is the purpose of its leaving. Everything in the universe only improves itself. Sometimes we need to break away from our comfort zones in order to get a fresh perspective and a fresh start. Its called evolution. Trust it. Allow it. Support it. Celebrate it. _____________________________________________________________ Whatever it is that you are looking for from others, give it to yourself first from within, and then it naturally flows in from outside of you. If you wish to have the respect, faith, trust, love of others, start feeling it for yourself, and when you truly have unconditional love, respect,trust and faith in yourself, others will start feeling and expressing it too, because you will be sending subtle messages to your environment that 'I am loved...I am respected..I can be trusted..'. If you have trouble feeling these emotions for yourself, you will understand the reasons that stop others from having them as well, and this will be the answer to 'why don't I get love/trust/respect from others?' _____________________________________________________________ Happiness is the decision we must make. Some people are chronic sufferers, the victims, the 'poor me' group. Others are the bubbly, strong spirited people, no matter what you cant break their spirit. You may look at them and say 'they’re delusional, and this will only end up disillusioning them'. But they will tell you 'even if good luck hit you on the head, you wouldn’t know it because you’re so bogged down with your sob story!'. Each of us has a responsibility of how we interpret our experiences. One person can have an experience and say life is pretty good, and another can have that exact same experience and say that wasn’t good enough. So the idea is, when you take what you have, affirm it, make the most of it, and are grateful for it, you are expanding the goodness of the condition, expanding the potential of it. When we look at a situation, or our life or ourselves, and say this is not good, its bad, not good enough, what happens is that every bit of good that it could present to us, is then wasted and falls away, because basically we are damning rather than blessing the situation. Look at your life, and say this is perfect, thank you. It is either perfect in that it is good and your opportunity is to enjoy it, by being grateful for it. Or it is perfect in that it is a perfect lesson for you, so rather than damning the situation, bless whatever situation you are in, remember that you have brought it towards yourself to learn something, so be thankful for the opportunity to grow and learn and evolve. As soon as you stop fighting it and change your perception of it, the situation improves miraculously. _____________________________________________________________ "It's easy to make a buck. It's a lot tougher to make a difference." ~ Tom Brokaw. Do you agree with this idea? Is it really easier to keep doing, day after day, something you're not happy doing,just because you make money out of it? Who would you rather be? Someone who is enjoying making a life, or the one merely making a living? Who told you that the things you truly enjoy doing will not make you money? What made you decide to trust them rather than your own intuition? Was it the idea of 'that's why its called WORK, its not supposed to be fun'? And did you fall for that? Even after seeing and envying those who actually enjoy what they do and thrive financially as well? If they can do it, so can you. They started, they persevered, they went against the grain, at seemingly the worst of times. Yet they believed in and enjoyed what they did so much that they excelled in it, and when that happened, money just flowed in, easily and gracefully, as if drawn by a magnetic force. When we are happy with our work, which takes up the majority of our day, then we are emitting vibrations of being in harmony with our environment and feeling fulfilled, and this frequency attracts more experiences that are full of harmony and fulfillment. Needless to say, money follows not far behind. So move toward your passion. Express through your daily work and your daily activities what it is that lights up your soul. Do not believe those who say that you cannot or should not do this. Do it anyway. No, really. Do it anyway. _____________________________________________________________ Love is sometimes shown in the things you DON'T point out, DON'T keep track of, and DON'T make a person feel bad about. The greatest kindness is often shown in letting things go. None of us is perfect, but we can all be close-to-perfect by allowing those that we love to be imperfect, be themselves, be UNlike ourselves, without making them feel guilty or uncomfortable about it. Give those around you the break that you hope they will give you on your own "bad day" or lapse of judgement. This attitude will take you away from the intention of 'let's see who's right, stronger, more in control right now' to 'let's make this relationship the best it can be' - which is very different than trying to make it the 'best as compared to other relationships around us', because each relationship is extremely different, and to expect yours to be a certain way, or give you certain things is to instantly put it unreasonable demands on it. Treat each relationship that's important to you as a unique being, and make a commitment to make the relationship the best it can be, without competing with the other person about who is the 'best' amongst you both. _____________________________________________________________ Progress is not measured through time, it is measured through results. Do not wonder why things are "taking so long." In fact, everything is rolling out exactly as it needs to, using not a minute more than Perfection requires. During this waiting period, instead of getting frustrated, disheartened and disillusioned; be on the lookout for the learning that needs to be accepted by you, in order to release you from this situation. When we are curious & searching actively for our learning from a 'negative' situation, we put ourselves in a more empowered position, and leave the role of the victim behind. This in itself makes the situation much more positive for us to experience, and we get through it with more ease and grace, than we would have if we were focusing all our energies on being a victim, blaming others & life, and wondering "what have I done to deserve this?" What you have actually done is attract a learning opportunity to yourself, all you need to do is remind yourself of this very important point. Once you remember this, it is quite easy to open yourself upto accepting the learning with gratitude, and move on to more positive experiences. So rest easy and be at peace with all situations in your reality. Life is working its magic even as you take your very next breath. _____________________________________________________________ The quality of one's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence."~ Vince Lombardi Are you committed to excellence in everything you think, and say, and do? Yes, it is about thoughts and words too,not just about actions. Do your thoughts and words reflect your unceasing desire to be the best that you can be in every single situation you encounter? How about your actions? Do you strive to be your best out of love and pride for yourself, so it is reflected as self motivation, quiet confidence, and strength of character? Or do try to be your best due to fear of not being good enough, or out of the need to get something out of it, like admiration, acceptance, a promotion, the upper hand? Think about it...start watching yourself...work on your commitment to excellence, and work on making it come out of love rather than fear. You will feel the difference right away, as your energies move from fear to love, being your best will become fun, fulfilling and a way of life. _____________________________________________________________ There is a solution to every problem. Nothing is insolvable. Nothing. Do everything that you can to avoid the temptation of thinking that what is facing you now is insurmountable. That is simply not true. You cannot see the solution, of course, if you are convinced it is not there. So you must have great faith in life. Do you have great faith in life? Now would be a good time to show it. Smile. Relax. It'll all be okay. _____________________________________________________________ Adversity reveals genius, prosperity conceals it. Horace said that, and he was right. During this time of adversity and financial 'meltdown,' your genius will be revealed--as will that of all humankind. We will find that there is another way to live other than 'dog eat dog,' and another worthy goal other than 'bigger, better, more.' See this time, then, as a challenge to your ingenuity and an invitation from life to rediscover what is truly important: love, family, friends, and...the journey of the soul. _____________________________________________________________ The mere apprehension of a coming evil has put many into a situation of the utmost danger. F.L. Lucan said that, and it is right. There is no faster way to bring about misfortune than to think it is coming. Thought is a powerful force, and it is a creative tool that many people pay little attention to. What are you worried about today? Why? Rather than worry about it, would it not be a better use of your mental time to visualize a positive outcome? Use your mind in this way today and you will have tapped one of the most extraordinary tools that have placed in your hand for the creation of your tomorrows. _____________________________________________________________ Change is the natural order of things and not something that you benefit from resisting. We live in a time of enormous upheaval on a global scale, and more and more people are seeing huge changes in their personal lives as well. It is the nature of the world in which we live. Move with grace in the face of these changes, for every change, especially the one that seems the most difficult,brings you an incredible opportunity for growth. Breathe, relax, and face all changes with a smile, and know with confidence things will all work out perfectly. _____________________________________________________________ It is only This Moment that counts, This Moment that matters. Dwelling on anything else is pointless. Yesterday is gone, if not forgotten, and tomorrow is not yet here, so why waste precious time and mental energy focused on either? What is going on right now? That is the question. And what can you do Right Now to make Now better? Make each Now better and the future will take care of itself, while the past will not matter. You are not your 'story.' Who You Are is so much bigger than that. It's okay to give up your past now. Most of us have a story about how we got to be the way we are, about what it's like to be 'us,' and about why it is so difficult sometimes to get through life. We knowingly and/or unknowingly use this as an excuse to not be the best we can be, allowing the shackles of our story to hold us back. All of this stuff has nothing to do with who we are now. How often does your 'story' influence you when you experience life? Are you ready to let go of that now? What if you could create 'you' the way you want to be, and are ready to be, deserve to be; regardless of your past? Wouldn't that be great? Well, you can. All you have to do is let go of your story. _____________________________________________________________ Waiting to see what happens is not a very good way to make decisions. Not to decide is to decide. What are you deciding right now by not deciding? What are you choosing by failing to choose? Is this how you want to live your life: by default? It's time you made a decision. Ensure that you make the decision from the platform of love, rather than fear. Love for yourself, for life and others, so that the decision is for your highest good. Not out of a fear-based motivation, as it will only produce results that are painful. Go ahead, its time..take a leap of faith. _____________________________________________________________ No one does anything they do not want to do. You always have a reason - and usually, a pretty good one - for doing what you are doing and choosing what you are choosing. Be careful not to convince yourself that you are doing something against your will. Such a thing is impossible. Therefore, be honest with yourself about why you are choosing to do a particular thing. Then, do it gladly, knowing that you are always getting to do what you want. The statement "I have no choice" is a lie. You can choose. You simply do not prefer the alternatives available to you, for whatever reason. So you select the outcome that you most prefer. Isn't that power? _____________________________________________________________ "Life is a game of boomerangs. Our thoughts, deeds and words return to us sooner or later with astounding accuracy" - Florence Scovel Shinn. So before you think, do, or say anything -- imagine what it would be like to receive what you are sending. Then, go one step further. Decide ahead of time what you would like to receive...and then send it. If you want to be loved, be loving to people around you, if you want to be respected, show respect to those around you, not only the ones who are easy to love and respect but even those are quite difficult too. Whatever you would like to experience, make that happen in the life of another.. and then...watch the magic. _____________________________________________________________ Why do we wait for new year to make changes in our lives? Promise ourselves that this year I will do this or not do that? What is it about this change in date that impacts us so much? Why do we treat it as a complete new beginning, thinking that everything from the year before is wiped out and we have been given a fresh start? Why do we wait to see how the year will turn out for us? Why do we send wishes to everyone hoping that the year brings them great things? Why can we not treat every single day as new years day? Why can we not start each day with the desire and intention to have the best day ever and be the best that we can be? Why not give it a shot? _____________________________________________________________ Challenges are what we came here for. To learn and grow through them. And we never choose a challenge that we cannot overcome. The purpose of life is to give us a chance to be the grandest and most empowered version of the greatest vision of who we are. When challenges arrive, move straight to clarity: 'This is what I came here for. I have asked for and chosen this challenge so that i can discover my most empowered potential.' Rise to the occasion and to the challenge, knowing without a doubt that you have every resource with which to create the grandest and perfect outcome. _____________________________________________________________ For once, instead of focusing on and fretting about what you can change, need to change, have to change... How about taking a deep breath and asking yourself : What is perfect right now? What do I need to retain as is? What do have to have as it is right now?... When you get your answer, focus on those things, people, situations and feelings, and send heartfelt gratitude for them, and allow yourself to be in peace with the here and now. _____________________________________________________________ It is the neglect of timely repair that makes rebuilding necessary - Richard Whately. Take a look today at what you need to repair. Who has been hurt by you...or ignored? Don't get into a lot of guilt around this -- just repair it. _____________________________________________________________ The best gift we can give ourselves is to live life with integrity. Be true to yourself, rather doing things and being things in order to make others happy, and to prove a point to yourself and to others. If you are doing things because you think they will make others love, admire, respect you, then you will feel burdened, heavy and purposeless, never happy even after achieving what you set out to. You will always find yourself relying on others to validate you and make you feel good for doing all that you have done, and if they don't you will feel angry and betrayed. When you are being true to yourself, kind to yourself, making sure that you are completely at peace with yourself, doing things that truly make you happy, not waiting for appreciation, support and validation from others, then you feel truly light and aligned with the universe. _____________________________________________________________ Latest testimonials, November 2009 11/08/2009
Ketaki, 31 yrs female, Media. Zimmy has a gift. She is a gentle, unassuming, non judgemental healer who is a friend, philosopher and guide. What I love about her sessions is the holistic approach...not only does she help you by tackling your energy blocks, she also backs that up with practical advice. Just two sessions with her and I felt so energised and positive. This is better than red bull! The stress of modern life tends to hack away at your energy reserves; you accumulate so much stuff that weighs you down and stops you from being the best you can be -- professionally and personally. I plan to go for Zimmy's energy therapy sessions every now and then. Rabia, 41 yrs female, mother. I first went to see Zimmy when I felt as though my life seemed to be stalled. Career-wise I was not going anywhere. I knew I wanted to make changes in my life but something was holding me back. After an initial consultation, we decided on scheduling 4 sessions to work on my issues. By the second session, I had begun to find myself again. I found Zimmy to be extremely patient and sympathetic. She guided me towards discovering blocked emotions and helped me see the root causes of some of my current destructive behavior. I now know which habits and emotional baggage to shed and which qualities in myself to embrace and celebrate. I know that I will make all future decisions with these things in mind and I will never trap myself into unhappiness again. I recommend Zimmy’s method of self-exploration and self-healing to anyone who has lost themselves somewhere along this path called Life. Anonymous, 27 yrs female, House wife. I came to Zimmy with concerns about my strained relationship with my husband. Through the course of the first two sessions, I discovered that the pain I experienced in my back and on either foot from time to time was purely a mental blockage and required healing. I also managed to undergo an enegry exchange exercise and realised that I had to cut off all ties with my ex-boyfriend in order to move on and be happy. Moreover, I underwent an exercise with Zimmy whereby I am able to have greater control over my temper, and have seen a significant change in my ability to control and rationalise with the child in me. Through the last session, I underwent regression and got in touch with my Higher Self/Guide. This enabled me to seek answers to questions that were long pending, regarding my career, health and relationship with my husband. Thank you once again Zimmy! Amit, 32 yrs male, Marketing. The debate has been on for centuries whether the soul exists or it dosent. Spiritualists believe it does, some scientists believe it does, how ever atheists & other scientists believe it doesent. Unfortunatley I fell in the atheist segment. However being an atheist didnt hamper my openess to experience something new. And thats what happened during my sessions with Zimmy. A patient ear, is worth a million words of advice, and zimmy has 2 such patient ears. Listening and understanding my issues, problems, apprehensions, fears and cynysicim. And to top of it all not being judgemental, I think this is what made me even more open to trying what zimmy was suggesting. Our sessions were very calming, my being felt at rest in presence of zimmy's peaceful voice. The calming effect let me explore depths of my mind. Areas which were previously unexplored. In 5 sessoins zimmy managed to close on some very crucial issues in my character. I experienced things which I thought I never could. I experienced a past life, i saw images of some dear ones and some unknowns float through my space, i saw my fallacies stare at me and then being replaced by light. They say the soul is like a light within you. I cant claim it was my soul, as i still dont know if a soul exists. But today I can not deny its exisence either. Swati, 28 yrs female, Communications & Media. Hypnosis and regression, two words I believed in but was skeptical about, only until I walked in through Zimmy Khan's door. The presence of a soul is something we blindly believe in, but my blind faith actually took a form under Zimmy's guidance. She once said, 'It reaches out to you but only when you’re ready' and I’m grateful for her calming presence in my life at that point. She not only helped me identify my inner demons, but also helped reach out to a higher self. Through her sessions I came a step closer to understanding my biggest shortcoming in this life and maybe many in the past. It took a while for me to accept, whether what I was experiencing lying on her couch was actually for real, but Zimmy's appeasing and patient steer helped manage my hysteria. She would put my body and mind at such ease that my deepest darkest insecurities, would find a way out between us. She’d know things that I’ve never mentioned and would always relieve me by sharing a similar experience from her life. Bigger then that, was her capability to reach out with an assuring touch when I felt unsteady the most - traveling through, what I believe was worlds between. Thank you Zimmy for helping me find inner peace. Rima, 25 yrs female, Communications. When i first started seeing Zimmy i had very low confidence in myself and which made me lack in nearly all areas of my life and would lead to periods of depression and self pity. l had a few sessions with Zimmy and found myself improving with each one. She dealt with my issues one by one and with time i felt weight lift of my shoulders and realised i was seeing things through a different light without even trying. Its actually hard to explain the feeling but it was as if all the negative and bad energies were eliminated and l was dealing with my thoughts through a much clearer light. Zimmy taught me about the power of thoughts how it effects emotions,energy and the physical body it all made sense when l put it to practice. With this i realised how strong and powerful the power i had in myself was to make or change what ever i wanted and needed to.The sessions were truly an amazing experience they took me through many feelings i consciously and sub consciously knew i needed to deal with, small or big. I even stopped smoking after the first few sessions which i found bizarre because i had been trying to kick the habit for a while but failed to do so. Overall it was a very peaceful experience it was forfiling from within and l learnt without inner peace there isn't peace . Thank you Zimmy xx Time to let go of the Story 08/31/2009
Most of us have a story about how we got to be the way we are, about what it's like to be 'us,' and about why it is so difficult sometimes to get through life. We knowingly and/or unknowingly use this as an excuse to not be the best we can be, allowing the shackles of our story to hold us back. How often does your 'story' influence you when you experience life? How many excuses do you make for doing the things you dont want to, or not doing things that you really want to. How many reasons do you have for being a certain way, having certain reactions that you have; even if being this way and having these reactions no longer serve your highest purpose? Are you ready to let go of these blocks and barriers that you yourself have put into your own path? It's okay to give up your past now.You are not your 'story', who you are is so much bigger than that. You are the one who can learn and grow through past experiences, who can break out of the mould of the past, and embrace a new reality of yourself and your experiences. You are the one who can create 'you' the way you want to be, are ready to be, and deserve to be NOW; regardless of your past. All you have to do is let go of your story.
