"We have 68 horses!" she sheepishly grinned.
That’s right! 68 horses.
I was in the line at Petco, stocking up on chew bones, guinea pig bedding, Solid Gold dog food, kitty treats, chicken scratch for the girls, and on and on, when this conversation began. Now, I had to ask, "Why 68 horses?"
And Maureen, who was running the cash register, smiled a great big smile at me and said, "Horse rescue." My ears perked up immediately. Honestly, with what I’ve learned from working with horses, I could feel my heart open up like petals on a flower. I knew what she must have been going through every day with dealing with rescued horses, and I also knew how we could offer help for her horses with Animal B.E.S.T.
Now, the topic of this week is "Success Through Affiliation" and how it’s beneficial to pursue this type of relationship. Whether being an affiliate or affiliating with another group or party, the relationship must be beneficial to all parties to be successful.
Affiliation: a social or business relationship. Sounds serious, doesn’t it? But, the truth is, affiliation is the way in which we survive. It always comes back to the relationship. Yes, the relationship we develop with the people in our communities determines our level of success. It always has and always will.
Here, in line at Petco, was an opportunity to form an affiliate relationship with a new source of both service and revenue. I have a service to offer her, and she has a need. She knows others with need for my service, and I know sources of support for her endeavor with the horses. This could and really should develop into a wonderfully symbiotic relationship.
And all I was there for was guinea pig bedding! Right!

This month was about energy from head to toe. We spoke of Universal Energy and we addressed Energetics and the field. This week is solely about the energy we bring to the table. Yes, the energy we bring every day.
I challenge you to take a long and hard look at what it is you "bring to the mix." What do you bring to your mix? Are you committed to anything of consequence? Are you steadfast in your commitment to yourself and your beliefs? And, are you bringing this level of dedication to your day?
These are questions and points I reflect on when I go for my morning walk on the golf course. I’ve spoken about this before, and yes it continues to be a 28-minute reflection on my decisions I will make for that day. I choose to plan for success rather than wait for the unknown. This is the time I will only allow my thoughts to move in a positive manner. It’s not always easy, but I’m worth it. I am SO worth it!
This is what I bring to the mix. From this day forward, I will engage in only healthy, constructive, loving relationships. And, since I get to decide which conversations I choose to acknowledge and participate in, I can’t lose! This is perfect and, yes, empowering to say the least. Without the pressure of others’ problems – which I’ve learned I can’t fix anyway – I am free to dream of the future, the successes which await me and the MHS family, and to develop a picture of the unlimited successes just around the corner.
And, this is happening. I mean, we have the best philosophy, the best technique, and this is the best time for our beliefs about health and wellness to be embraced by the masses. How could we even consider less than unlimited success?
These are my thoughts as to what I bring to my Energetic Mix.
How about you?

]]> I’ve often wondered exactly what the idea of Universal Energy really means. In theory it all sounds warm and fuzzy, but in application the lines of demarcation seem to blur. Granted, we are all connected energetically. And, my belief that we attract to us the lessons we have yet to learn and are learning even now has proven to me the Law of Attraction is something to both respect and embrace.
Therefore, I accept the idea that this Universal Energy flow is a learning curve. What this means to me, the idea that the challenges we encounter, whether within our business environment or even closer to home in our family environment and relationships, are there not only FOR us to learn, but there BECAUSE we are learning.
That’s right! This is a journey to uncover the inner self by learning all we can from the Universal Plan. And, since this all fits into the very foundation of B.E.S.T., we should embrace the lessons/opportunities with vigor and emotional fortitude! This is really all about our patterns, both energetically and physically.
The fact that we are constantly experiencing lessons promotes and attracts even more lessons and experiences which serve us well. And, this also serves the greater good.
Energetically, we must balance to heal. Releasing that which does not serve us well, is exactly what B.E.S.T. is about. From the simple steps of B.E.S.T. Release to the powerful Emotional B.E.S.T., we balance the energetic field and directly affect the physical body.
Now, here’s the catch! To find our Universal energetic balance, we must first identify the place we feel the most grounded. The place we feel the power within us. And, this grounding will help to solidify those experiences, which we feel are not in our best interest. If you pay close attention to how your body reacts to each distinct experience, you will learn to "feel" the correct path energetically. And this, my friends is the Universal Energy we can tap directly into at will. Call it the "gut," the "inner voice" or "goose bumps on your arms and scalp," this is an energetic awakening to your inner truth.
And, when others try to shake your foundation, for whatever well-meaning reason, you will have the courage both physically and energetically to stay your course and to grow even stronger. When grounded in your truth, you are unstoppable!
Tap in, listen, and play full on. You’ll reap the rewards of health, happiness, and success by staying your course.

]]> So, we were at the latest Morter Experience when the topics we were covering – Genetics, Energetics, Environment, Emotional Component – brought up a rather interesting question.
It happened during a discussion there in Dr. Morter’s library just after the gourmet pizza party when this statement was made: "My mother had this allergy and so did her mother. I guess it’s in the genes."
This is the type of discussion we dive into at the Morter Experience, and dive in deep we did! In the end, to really clarify the solution, Dr. Morter "asked." And sure enough, it was "Energetics," which came up.
In the ensuing treatment, using the foundational principles we teach in B.E.S.T. and not engaging in the "condition or diagnosis", he was able to tie "Energetics" to the feeling and then to the physical manifestation of the allergy.
What this means to you as a practitioner is that it’s the ability to step back from the immediate observation and remove one’s self from the outcome that’s important. Then, acknowledge the wisdom of the body’s ability to resolve issues whether from the energetic past, or the physical present for perfection to be expressed right now and in the physical. I think of it as a spontaneous and instantaneous update!
And, I dare say the participant will never be the same! As I watched her later in the weekend, free from "allergic reaction," I saw a sense of excitement and absolution revealed in her face like no other. I saw color return to a washed-out expression. She was literally free from the energetic past, free from the genetic fear, and cleared from the emotional block associated with the physical symptom. She was a new person!
The key was Energetics!

]]> We draw people and experiences into our field, and certainly there’s a reason for this. That’s right, a reason. And, yet most don’t even realize it when it’s happening…myself included.
I was helping a friend this weekend work on his truck. While working on it out at my farm, he noticed a drip of oil near the back of his truck. For those of you less mechanically inclined, oil is supposed to be contained inside the drive line components and not on the ground! But, no problem too big for us! After all, we had resurrected a ‘69 Camaro from the clutches of the grave just years before.
So off we went to Auto Zone in search of the mystery parts to correct the problem, or so we thought! A day and a half later, and gear oil up to our elbows, the answer to the problem had eluded us completely. We had arrived at the conclusion it was just a simple oil seal gone bad, and that the grinding sound was just the lack of oil. What? We had already removed the entire rear end cover, axles, bearings, brake drums, wheels, and ALL of the rear end gears! This was a major overhaul in the making. And yet, when we had the entire rear end strewn across the workbench – gears everywhere – we found not very much wrong! In fact, really, there was only that simple seal which was bad. A $3.50 part, which could have been fixed in less than 15 minutes! I nearly had "died" from his second-hand smoke for two days; we had consumed all liquid beverages from the shop fridge; we had used every "grown up word" we knew, and had been virtually inseparable for the entire time.
After he drove off I wondered how we had taken a simple project and taken two days to complete the task, and then it hit me. As he was leaving the shop, Don looked at me and said, "Hey, we had a good time…didn’t we?!"
He smiled with a bit of hesitation, for Don had buried his father earlier that week after a long bout with cancer, and I’m certain he was in need of a friend and certainly a "good time." And, I needed to spend time with this good friend, because it was about much more than car parts. It all happens for a reason.
