Personal Quotes by Cynthia Bischoff

“The kind of child we have is always synchronistic—usually making parents confront their own shadows and develop their own strengths. Life is amazing that way!” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Life is like a kaleidoscope. We may evidence almost the same picture again as we turn the wheel. If we attract to us similar experiences as before, often even painful ones, we might want to ask: What in me needs to feel this again? What am I to learn? Remember that life is not about winning or losing, but about LEARNING. And when you understand the deeper meaning of something, often you don’t have to repeat it.” –Cynthia Bischoff

As you focus your attention on something, metaphysics suggests that within 17 SECONDS the Law of Attraction begins to respond and by maintaining a pure thought for 68 SECONDS you make it a dominant thought and will receive matching manifestations. So decide the picture you WANT to create and THINK and FEEL IT into being in earnest today!” -Cynthia Bischoff
“On a trip back from visiting my family four hours away, I reflected and realized that this I know deeply: If I had only one day to live I would completely surrender myself as much as possible to live each second with an open, connected heart.

It’s important to take a spiritual pilgrimage now and then (to Egypt or even if to your backyard) to know these things.” –Cynthia Bischoff

“Signs are all around us. Everything we see and feel is an instrument for understanding. Know that all of nature is simply a MESSAGE FROM SPIRIT—an avenue to deeper faith and awe!” –Cynthia Bischoff

“See yourself moving through the day, floating through what you have to do with a smile on your face. Don’t go to the bank expecting to have to wait in a long line. Expect to get there at just the right time when there is no line. DISSOLVE ANY DISBELIEF, even in the smallest, most insignificant instance. You create through what you expect.” –Cynthia Bischoff

Let it go.” –Cynthia Bischoff

“Spiritual meaning is not learned by ‘flight from this world,’ or by running away from pressures, or necessarily by being alone. Instead, somehow we must find God in the confusion and even stress that often define this world. EVERY FACE MIRRORS SOMETHING OF DIVINITY BACK TO US. Can you recognize in all things the beautiful expression of God’s being?” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Have faith in yourself. Trust in the significance of your life and the contribution that you bring to the world simply by being you. YOU ARE A CAUSE, NOT A RESULT.

“The rocks in your path are either stumbling blocks or stepping stones. You get to decide.” –Cynthia Bischoff

“A client met with me recently to decide whether or not she should end a very painful and difficult relationship. I have learned from my Japanese friends: THERE IS SUFFERING THAT CREATES MORE SUFFERING, AND THERE IS SUFFERING THAT ENDS SUFFERING.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“My most profound experience was with a client who came to me who was told she had three weeks to live. She lived four months. We met regularly for healing work to ease her pain.

This was the quote I told her that she said moved her most: ‘THE GOWN WE LEAVE IN HAS NO POCKETS.’” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Bear gifts. Keep little presents like scented candles or homemade jams on hand. Offer them to friends for no reason in particular.

And when you share who you really are with others, you find you are not an isolated case, but rather a piece of the larger whole of a wonderful, amazing world.” –Cynthia Bischoff

They pursue new choices, focus on a happy future and know the value of creating a positive now.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“People live their lives like the present moment hardly exists–using the past to give them identity and the future as hope for redemption. Our power is in the PRESENT moment since all life unfolds in the present. Keep the good parts of your past in your ‘mental photo album.’ Let go of the ‘bad’ in the same way that you would not save pictures that were out of focus or distorted. Take ‘new’ pictures now!” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Surrender is the simple but profound wisdom of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life. Did you know that flow is your natural state? You actually have to work at it to create chaos.” –Cynthia Bischoff

“I loved spending time with my grandmother. It wasn’t just what she said or did–rather how I felt just being with her–listening to her stories, watching the moonlight on her face as we sat together on her porch. There is so much to be learned from our loved ones in their simple gestures–what gave them strength and allowed them to endure. What is your favorite memory?” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Want to achieve a goal? Make it seductive and compelling. Write down the things you’ll get to enjoy when you have achieved it. Think about this in detail and in sensory terms. Make the goal come alive—taste it, smell it, and imagine what it will feel like to have it! Then create a theme word to remind you of it—like ‘ease,’ ‘balance,’ or ‘wonder’! Let optimism be your fuel.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Do your actions inspire others to love more, learn more, or become more? Do you know how very important you are in this world and what tremendous power of influence you have?” –Cynthia Bischoff
“The best way to combat depression is to change any habit of negative thinking. This type of thinking will diminish the quality of your life. And if it seems impossible to disengage from your struggle, it’s not. If you can realize the distinction between you and your struggle, you can realize that there’s nothing wrong with you that positive thinking and belief in yourself cannot heal!” –Cynthia Bischoff
“‘Fall down seven times, stand up eight!’—this is a proverb my friends in Japan say. Remember that errors are for learning and just a source of information. Make building your confidence and believing in yourself a habit. If you are ever in an insecure moment, ask yourself ‘How would I behave if I felt really confident?’ People take you at your own estimation.” –Cynthia Bischoff
Challenge!–“You bring out the BEST in me”: Take a moment to contact someone who brings out the best in you and thank them.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Have you ever felt like you were living in parentheses–not sure how you got there or how to get out?” –Cynthia Bischoff
“If you must end something (e.g., leave a job or divorce a person due to difficulties), be sure to do so with peace because if you leave or divorce with anger, you’re still there.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“In an authentic relationship, intimacy stands for ‘into-me-see.’ It is a process of each of you allowing yourselves to be seen for who you really are, minus the pretenses. If your common ground involves two loving hearts and a desire to grow, every loving-kindness is a deposit in the emotional bank account that you share. Remember always to GIVE what you wish to receive.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“If you find yourself mired in fear or simply overwhelmed by your present circumstances, lift yourself above yourself and look down. In so doing, you can hold a ‘sacred viewpoint’ in your life. Miraculously, the big things start to become the little things. It’s all an issue of perception.” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Perfectionism isn’t a desire for perfection but rather a desire to avoid imperfection. It’s an attempt to live in an imaginary world. Why not decide that your world is already perfect and go out and have a great weekend!” –Cynthia Bischoff
“Worrying is like running a low-grade fever of fear. Most often it is destructive and fiction-based. Always remember that you have a choice at all times in how to respond to everything. You are not trying out for a part in someone else’s drama!” –Cynthia Bischoff
“We try to control what we feel insecure about. Control is an illusion. The key to releasing anxiety or depression isn’t more control, but rather it’s cultivating self-trust that you can handle life’s challenges as they unfold– because you can.” –Cynthia Bischoff
