I realized that the stories we consciously and unconsciously tell ourselves impact the way we think and feel and act. Consequently, I feel it's important to spend time reflecting on our lives and our stories so we can make conscious decisions for change that can help us live with a greater sense of meaning and purpose.(less)

When Changes Threaten a Relationship

All relationships go through stages and change over time. Each person in the relationship changes, and the dynamic between the two people transforms, too. What attracted us to a partner or friend might start to repel us. Our friend’s problematic personality traits might become more prominent, and we might become less patient. Changes in each person’s health are also likely to affect relationships.

The Necktie and the Jaguar by Carl Greer
“Remaining present in the moment, focused on what is happening rather than what might happen, makes it easier to see openings for winning, opportunities that might otherwise be hidden.”

The Necktie and the Jaguar by Carl Greer
“Taking the right action if a challenge arises, responding the right way with the right timing, requires being attentive. Sometimes, the cues about how best to interact with people or a situation are subtle. Sometimes, opportunities dry up very quickly, and you can miss them if you don’t act right away. Being aware of when a shift is happening and remaining flexible helps.”

Quotes by Carl Greer  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Scientists and shamans alike know that all of life is woven into a web of infinite connections, contributing to the larger whole in a system that is complex beyond our imagining. When we sit quietly at the edge of a lake, or hike through a wildflower-strewn meadow, or walk through a cool, dark forest, we quickly become aware of our unity with the natural world. We fall back into natural rhythms--rhythms we are no longer in synch with as a result of living by the clock and spending much of our time in man-made spaces lit by electricity. Nature has a way of recalibrating us and helping us gain a new perspective on our stressors so that they seem less overwhelming.”
― Carl Greer, Change the Story of Your Health: Using Shamanic and Jungian Techniques for Healing

“To transform our lives, we need to change our stories.”
― Carl Greer, Change Your Story, Change Your Life: Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools to Achieve Personal Transformation

“There is a possibly apocryphal story that in Southeast Asia, people catch monkeys by placing a banana in a box with a hole in the bottom and hanging the box from a tree. The monkey reaches in and grabs the banana but is unable to withdraw its hand. The clenched fist holding the banana is too big to fit through the hole. To escape, all the monkey has to do is release the banana. Sometimes, the monkeys hold on for a long time and are then captured. People, too, often give up their freedom by holding on to things too long.”
― Carl Greer, Change Your Story, Change Your Life: Using Shamanic and Jungian Tools to Achieve Personal Transformation

“The essence of shamanic healing is to work with our past so that it lives within us differently and we are no longer caught in old habits--and to align with a future that is more desirable for us and Spirit. By working with the past and future in this way, we make better decisions in the present.”
― Carl Greer, PhD, PsyD

“Healing isn’t just something that comes from medicine or surgeries; it comes from a shift in the way we perceive ourselves and our connection to our health and our bodies.”
― Carl Greer, Change the Story of Your Health: Using Shamanic and Jungian Techniques for Healing

“Within each of us is a wise inner healer who is connected to the wisdom and power of Source and who can guide us in discovering what we need to do differently to improve our health and wellness.”
