Book Cover & Preview Text
Chapter One Welcome, Dear Reader, and thank you for accepting the invitation to explore and discern more about the beautiful person you really are. Yes, you read the first sentence correctly. You are the beautiful person who is being discussed. Whether you agree with the description or not, the first truth revealed through The Power of Thoughts is the reality of your ‘Beautiful Self.’ Because the focus of this book targets the thoughts that humans experience, you have an opportunity now, in this moment, to notice what your thoughts are. How is your mind responding to the declaration that you are a beautiful person? Pay attention to your present thoughts and quickly jot them down. You may find it beneficial to make wee reminders for later review as you begin studying the antics of your mind and the thoughts that are created. Dear Reader, take a deep breath. We just engaged with the initial two paragraphs of The Power of Thoughts, and already you have been given ‘orders.’ Pay attention to your thoughts! Take notes! Take a deep breath! Yikes! Let’s just be together for a moment. Let’s relax and enjoy several deep breaths. We deserve it! You and I are walking very similar paths. As you read the words regarding your Beautiful Self for the first time, you probably had many reactions to the presumptuous so-called truth. Personally, I had many thoughts when I first received the words that you just read. “Beautiful person…bah! Nonsense!” Rest assured many of my thoughts were much more critical than those just shared. And of course, my thoughts about the rest of the book yet to come were very dubious. I silently screamed to myself, “Please, don’t let this be another self-help book! Does the world really need another SELF-HELP BOOK?” And of course, the answer was yes! We need all the help we can get. So, the truth is, Dear Reader, when I received the announcement regarding the Beautiful Self, I had to stop and take numerous deep breaths. While doing so, I remembered my years as a Psychotherapist and the many times when I urged a client to take a deep breath. I also remembered the times when I invited clients not to believe everything she or he thought. Then I remembered how often my own thoughts confused and misled me. And then a smile came to my face. Occasionally, we must remind ourselves of what we have already learned during our present life cycle. Think about this when you have some time, Dear Reader. You may be surprised. You may discover that you really are a Beautiful Person, and you may also realize that there is more you wish to be. The more you think about the possibilities that remain available to you, the greater understanding you will gain regarding who you are now in this moment, as well as, who you may wish to become from this point forward. Because humans are a very busy species, our lives are all-consuming. Many of the countless experiences in which we participate daily can go by without our notice. Whether we are vaguely engaged or highly focused on an activity, often there is something missing. Even though we are physically present while attending whatever task is before us, something is missing. The missing component, Dear Reader, is your mind. While you scurry about doing this and that, your mind is elsewhere. Unfortunately, this is a common occurrence. Because we frequently are not present in the moment, we are not consciously aware of our activities. Who knows how much of our lives we are missing? We will not be able to answer that question until we become consistently consciously present. Recognizing and accepting the antics of the mind is essential in understanding the power and influence of our thoughts. Opening our hearts to gathering more information about our current thought processes will enable us to grasp the impact that these thoughts are having upon us now, in this moment. In so doing, we will gain greater awareness and understanding of who we really are. Dear Reader, take another deep breath. You, the other readers of The Power of Thoughts, and I are all in need of special attention. We deserve it! And we will definitely benefit from the dedicated time that we give to ourselves. So, let’s move forward together. Let’s agree to accept another self-help book into our lives and let’s gently, kindly, and carefully proceed with appreciation for Self, for each other, and for the process that we are willingly embarking upon. Enjoy another satisfying deep breath, Dear Friend. The Beautiful Self that resides within you is yours to discover. Please open your heart to this opportunity. Just imagine meeting your Beautiful Self for the first time. Imagine the fullness of your Beautiful Self. What an incredible Being you are! Please join me in this adventure. Please say yes!

About the Author
As you read this book and others presented by Claudia Helt, the purpose of her role will become clear. Claudia’s personal life has been one of ordinary circumstances. She grew up in a small town, attended university attaining two degrees in Psychology, and then enjoyed over three decades working as a psychotherapist. Her curious mind also led her to explore other healing modalities where she found another career as a Reiki Master. She was, as you might imagine, initially taken aback when she began hearing a Voice of an unseen Presence. For her, the manner in which she receives these communiques is as mysterious as the material itself; however, after two and half decades of participating in this process, she now simply accepts these experiences as cherished connections for which she is eternally grateful. Even after all these years her commitment to this collaborative process remains firm, and she intends to continue sharing future communiques as she is invited and guided.
