Welcome to Healing From Within. I am your host Sheryl Glick Reiki Master Teacher, medium, and author of the newest book in my trilogy A New Life Awaits Spirit Guided Insights to Support Global Awakening which shares the notion that as infinite beings the possibility to create a healthy prosperous physical life journey lies within, and it is not the political economic or societal demands of the world that hold us hostage to suffering and fear. Today Sheryl welcomes Garnet Thompson, author of 20/20 Vision Dreams, an interactive book and journal about pursuing dreams with persistence and focus, primarily for youthful individuals in age or heart which encourages to dream big and often.
Garnet as listeners of Healing From Within are well aware my guests and I share intimate and often intuitive insights into the challenges of merging our dual nature as both energetic soul beings with a physical life journey. We discover so many ways to merge our unique forces of life experiences with inner soul remembrances or awareness and become able to conquer many irrational limiting fears and barriers and break free of childhood patterns to pursue healthier joyful purposeful lives.In today’s episode of Healing From Within Garnet Thompson helps listeners to identify how much they have to offer the world and provides answers to begin to take consistent action to achieve goals and dreams that have often been delayed or denied out of perhaps fear of failure? Garnet shares a wonderful perspective on how with persistence attitude and a network of support even “seemingly” impossible dreams are possible.Garnet when asked to think back to his childhood and remember a person place or event that might have signaled to him or others what his interests might be as an adult begins by telling us of his life in Jamaica at 9 years old when he lived with his ministers family as his grandparents who he lived with moved to Canada to set up a better life for him. His exposure to many loving people in the community gave him an open heart and a desire to meet many people from different cultures to share his thoughts on living a positive life. Garnet writes, “During my youth I dreamt of flying to distant far-off lands and experiencing other cultures and meeting new people. The idea of getting on an airplane and flying free as the birds raced through my young mind for most of my childhood days. I reasoned that I would become a pilot and would have unlimited opportunities to fly each and every day. I think my younger self would have been quite pleased that I have been a passenger on many flights and travelled around the globe north south east and west of Jamaica where I began.”“The only comment that I can offer is that the things I value most in life are family teamwork, truth, courage and integrity. At this stage in my life my greatest desire is to share the knowledge, wisdom and understanding gained so far with today’s youth in order to help harness their previously unrecognized and unused talents and skills.’Garnet tells us for him the number one thing holding people back from successfully living the life of their dreams. “Let’s start with a dictionary definition of dreams: a series of thoughts, images and sensations occurring in a person’s mind. Dreaming then is the conscious or subconscious act of imaging the possibility of something occurring. As children we tend to dream quite often both during sleep and sometimes while awake. Often as we grow up we lose or relinquish the willingness and ability to let our minds wander and just dream.”Garnet goes on to write ”The thoughts which flow through our minds can be likened to a great river from an unknown source which washes through our minds leaving debris and residue for us to examine closer during our waking hours. The deposits of debris (images or visions) of places, people, things and experiences which we find appealing and drawn to exploring provide a sense of hope which is vital to maintaining the life force...
