Life's a Yo-Yo, but it's worth the spin.

Sooner or later we all find ourselves in valleys far from our mountaintop experiences, down in dissapointment, succumbing to sadness, griped by grief and more.

The "broken heart" the "wounded spirit" are intense parts of living and loving. They indicate your being actively engaged in life. These spaces are birth places of let go and grow. However humbling and pain full, these necessary and authentic conditions permit you to integrate experiences, to evolve into your most genuine self.

A "change of heart" and "renewal of spirit" are other parts of being fully alive. Relationship, all of our ups and downs, is spiritual practice, the process of new beginning, rejuvenation, return of passion. Embrace, your evolving self.

Dialog is one form of happiness. Focused conversation, in safe space, held by an open-to-outcome mentor, greatly aids one's self-exploration and search for happiness, infinite interconnectedness.

Getting out of fear and back on goal can happen a lot sooner with a personal advocate than by one's self. Use your life of relating with others as spiritual practice for grounding and growth. Insight into the nature of emotions gives us the means of transforming them.

Thomas Merton Brightman, Mentor and Elder, offers individual and couple telephone mentoring by appointment between 9:00am and 9:00pm (EST/EDT). Over 3000 people have sought insight at The Change of Heart Center®, founded by Thomas in 1989.

Thomas provides mentoring on a one-time crisis basis, or as ongoing life-strategist coaching. He offers you his elder experience of 64 winters. You may well benefit from his ongoing lifetime quest of personal, professional, 12-Step and spiritual exploration.

Thomas can be your eye of the elder guide as you move through both expected and unexpected emotional terrain. Life is 100% projection, so outside objectivity is a valuable addition to your own viewing point--especially during the push-pull periods of stess, needs deprivaton and uncertainty.

Mentoring calls may be scheduled for one to two hours. The fee is $75/hr. Payment is by check, credit card, PayPal®, money order or wire transfer. I am willing to customize time frames, ongoing appointments and payment schedules. If you have a telephone, you have mentoring with Telephone Thomas®.

Thomas is open to outcome. He is pragmatic and direct. Thomas defines mentoring as an exchange of wisdom in the absence of fear. Honesty without fear unleashes creativity, evaporates burdens.

Telephone Thomas® is a safe space in which you can be fully honest about your quest for wholeness.The paradigm of wholeness is a call to healing. Splits in body, mind and spirit can be mended, transformed into a more balanced existence.

Traditional religion does not fulfill the spiritual needs of many individuals. Some people feel lost in formulating contemporary definitions and practices for spiritual experience. They want to know more about Self and Mystery. They want a more personally intimate experience of connectedness, interrelatedness, unity. They seek a feeling of wholeness, meaning and purpose within this lifetime not confined by by imposition of past or current dogmas.

More is always being revealed, meaning and purpose evolve. Mentoring assists you to actively engage consciousness. Identity is destiny.Telephone Thomas, an open to outcome mentoring, can be your companion for deep personal quests.

Large group work is effective, yet it is ever more expensive, not just monetarily, but in terms of using valuable blocks of ever decreasing free time. Time is life and we benefit by choosing wisely how we use our "life-time". There is significant benefit in taking the time to weave our way through fundamental human experience.

Many people are not in a position to travel to workshops. Yet, you can be called upon at any time to move through a critical life transition. By not doing a workshop and saving vacation time as well as the expense of airfare, hotel, meals, etc., you can provide for long-term Telephone Thomas® mentoring support.

We encourage everyone to have multidimensional support such as medical, therapeutic, 12-step, spiritual and positive friendships. It is wise to have varied support so that when you most need assistance, someone is there for you. No one has all the answers or even all the questions. Be open to outcome. Be wary of anyone who tells you that they have THE answers.

Today, people have an average of 8 jobs and 3 career changes in their lifetime. Each of these transitions includes loss of identity. Mentoring can assist you to discover expanded identities and new aspects of self. Identity is destiny, professionally and spiritually. Telephone Thomas® is an educational experience; it is NOT a therapy.

Moving into your emerging future can be confusing and painful. Today, events move very rapidly with people caught up in all sort of distraction. So it's quite possible that you would benefit by slowing down and caring for yourself with Telephone Thomas® and embracing change as opportunity.

For example, saying, "I do not want to die", is not the same as saying, "I want to live". Affirm being fully alive while teaching your mind about your heart and vice versa. Working as a team, we can unveil ways to instill hope and creatively assist your transition through the cycles of life.
