I use play as a primary means to transformation because it is the single best way make fast, deep changes. Best of all, it's fun!

"Play is the only way the highest intelligence of humankind can unfold." That statement is by Joseph Chilton Pearce, a renowned futurist in human development.

Consider the impact of that statement … it says that play is not only the best way to transform you life and come into alignment with Infinite Intelligence; it is the only way.

Research continues to prove that play vastly benefits child development and learning. Now it's even confirming that adults can't learn unless they are having fun. Why? As Dr. Hubert Benson explains, "If you are anxious, you can't learn. It's like dropping seeds on concrete. With a quiet mind (what we call ease and flow) people take things in."

When you are in your head and your mental barriers are up, you are resistant to learning. After all, your brain simply wants to maintain the status quo. So why would it have any interest in learning new concepts that lead to change?

Play, however, bypasses the mental barriers to learning. Best of all, when you play, you are doing.

There is a quote attributed to a Native American Proverb:

• Tell me and I will forget.
• Show me and I may not remember.
• Involve me and I will understand.

Play involves you and moves you into the heart space. It is like you become a child at play … engaged, receptive, and nonjudgmental. Your resistance is gone and new concepts move through you naturally and take hold with ease and grace.

Any belief that transformation to a Conscious Life must be a difficult leap is your mind making it so. It indicates you're living in your head - the wrong place to be. "Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours."

Making the move to Conscious Living means getting out of your head and into your heart. And there is simply no better way to get into your heart space than through play.

Play is one of the cornerstones of my work. As a tool for bringing about transformation, it has no equal. If you want to create the lasting changes in your relationships and life you seek, you must be willing to play. It's like taking the high speed elevator to consciousness.

In this state, with your guard down, you can fully integrate new ways of "being". I teach my clients how to have fun with even their most painful emotions and situations. In the expanded space of play, they open up to resolutions seemingly unimaginable prior to this work.

The bottom line is that we'll use play - not only because it's fun - but also because your transformation will be faster, easier, deeper and far more likely to be permanent.
