Artwork
by Mari Kono
About 10 years ago, as I entered my 30’s, I found myself eager to create art but unable to complete projects. When I’d sit at my computer or try to put a studio space together, conflicting feelings would emerge and quietly freeze my abilities. I’d find myself confused, unorganized, depressed, and exhausted before I could really even start a project. I knew that something was blocking me from manifesting my true nature. but didn’t know how to address my issue or who to ask for help. So I began a quest to move through the blocks that were holding me back. I began to practice Iyengar Yoga and studied Feng Shui. I read many self help work books including Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain, Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway by Dr. Susan Jeffers, The Artists’s Way by Julia Cameron, and Personal Power by Anthony Robbins. I listened to countless tapes by Zig Ziglar, Napoleon Hill, and Wayne Dyer. My goal was to find a sense of purpose, become productive, and create a successful career as an artist while finding peace and happiness in my personal life.
As I began this quest, I was very fortunate to meet John Hoyle and begin working with him using Voice Activated Integration. Though the many self help books and tapes gave me many insights, my sessions with John Hoyle allowed me to directly address issues that would pop up in various moments of tension and unease. After each session, I would feel that the characters that came up were directly addressed and I made a large amount of progress in freeing myself from being monitored by any entity other than my true self. What I began to understand through working with John was that as descendants of our own childhoods, our lineages, and past lives, we inherit many fears, tensions, and emotions that become trapped in our bodies because they were unexpressed. Through subtle awareness, we can uncover these and through a simple kind of communication allow these “blocking” energies to feel loved and let go of.
I tried traditional talk therapy and was very frustrated because I feel that no one can fully address your own issues other than your self. The Hoyle Method allows you to do this. In our sessions we always address what my body is feeling and go from there. It is not a mental process but one of feeling. It’s about uncovering and letting go of the mucky stuff in the moment. The best part is that I’ve noticed how much greater I feel and how much more in sync with the universe I’ve become.
My best friends and family have noticed the change and some have even taken on integrating the Hoyle Method with excellent results. It’s a very simple, non invasive way of clearing blocked energy, and I feel it could be of help to any one seeking a more productive and happy life style. Now. as I enter my 40’s, I’m feeling extremely happy and grateful for everything. I’m more productive than ever, healthier and happier than I’ve ever been in the past. I’m benefiting daily from meditation and regular exercise and from my daily application of Voice Activated Integration. A beautiful aspect of the Hoyle Method is that is allows one to become independent and more aware of feelings and emotions. I occasionally do sessions with John or his practitioners, but for the most part I’m flying pretty much on my own thanks to his work.
