NEW BOOK by Albert Clayton Gaulden
Moments and Windstorms: Take Back Your Power

This ground-breaking book offers an in-depth journey through the author’s eye-opening addiction to alcohol and how he eventually got sober. Gaulden has written a number of books as well as being Founding Director of the Sedona Intensive, one of the country’s most highly regarded alternative personal growth programs.

The author shares all the ways God was leading and guiding him even when he was still drinking. “Most of us look at false paradigms to measure success in our lives. So much of where I went and the jobs I took helped me remember what I was to do as my life’s work.”

Gaulden’s book is divided into five parts. Each section explores different parts of his journey, incorporating all the places he’s been, the studies he’s made and the people he’s met. His point of view is that each client who sought his help made him a better person. At the end of the book, he has some daunting but hopeful words about the conditions of the planet Earth and what we need to do to survive as a race.

The Signs of the Time–I would be remiss if I did not comment on the State of the Union and the challenges that lie ahead for us and the rest of the world. From all the sexual harassment scandals from October and continuing to this very hour as I write this column, more and more men specifically are going to be caught in the cross-hairs of their behaviors. It is amazing how susceptible the ladies have been throughout history and it took the breaking point at this time for this behavior to be exposed. Not least of the detonations for the mass outing of so many powerful men have been the outrageous sexual peccadilloes of Donald Trump, the President of the Republic. Just today he endorsed the scandal-ridden Roy Moore, the former Chief Justice of the State Supreme Court in Alabama, running for the Senate. He is at the epicenter of all that is deteriorating and dying in this country. Be very aware of where you stand and what you support in this cesspool of moral misbehavior.

Mercury goes direct on December 22nd after having been retrograde since December 3rd.

There will be a Full Moon at 11 degrees of Cancer on January 1st. Full Moons denote emotional turmoil and oftentimes finding oneself on a roller coaster feeling one thing one moment and another in a matter of minutes. This most affects Cancers as well as the opposition Sign, Capricorn.

There will be a New Moon at 26 degrees of Capricorn on January 16th. This will most powerfully affect you Goats as well as all Earth Signs, Taurus and Virgo and to a lesser degree, Water Signs, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces.

Uranus will go direct on January 3rd at 24 degrees of Aries. And for the first time since January 9, 2017, all planets will be direct in motion. When this happens it is as if time speeds up and events tend to come to quicker resolution. We should see some startling news from the Mueller investigations. It is just a matter of time until the out-of-hand and runaway White House is brought to bear for their criminal activities.

Fire Signs

fireARIES (March 20 – April 18)–Your Holiday Wish is that you slow down and put more effort into what is closer at hand and more likely to pay off for you. Uranus in Aries will go direct on January 3rd which means you will have less chaos in your decision making. This is the time for something that looked like it was over and finished comes back into your life. What took months, even years, to fall apart now becomes a double winner in just a couple of months. Be dubious of business partners.

LEO (July 22 – August 21)–For Lions and Lionesses your Present as you move forward into 2018 is discretion when looking at another bauble to buy, as well as good judgment when conjuring where to go to next and with whom. Perhaps your natural tendency to be courtly and courteous will hold you somewhat in good stead. Always be aware that just because the Stock Market is zooming beyond all former heights, be prudent and consider that all that goes up has only down to go.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 20)–Your Present for the New Year is freedom from all the learning curves that Saturn dumped on you. What you and all signs must learn is that the return to the Lower World is about letting go of fads and social media and embrace what the Divine wants you to do with your life. A great number of you will move in 2018 because you have stayed stuck in one place for far too long. Adventure is your logo and explorer is your secret profession. 2018 is also about making better choices.

Earth Signs

earthTAURUS (April 19 – May 19)–Your deserving gift this Holiday Season is the ability to save more than you spend and to help others with your financial means. No sign is more sensitive than you Bulls but are so closed down emotionally time to time. In moving into the New Year always know that life is about purpose and not about things that money can buy. Your Wish also includes being able to eat and exercise with the same level of enjoyment. God loves you and has always been and always will be your Source.

VIRGO (August 22 – September 21)–For your Holiday Gift the gods considered getting you an ancient abacus on which to calculate what you’ve got left. And then they reconsidered and felt a monthly massage would ease the tension from your neck and allow you to do what only a Virgo knows to do: stay busy and productive. And you’ll be the first to know that soon Saturn will move into Capricorn for two and a half years, which blesses Virgo in a ton of different ways.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 18)–Dare I say to you Goats, “Rise and shine. Your Holiday Wishes and New Year’s Resolution should tell you that these days are your finest times and will move the plow precipitously forward and faster. You have been waiting patiently as only a Capricorn for your time to come. What you have to remember is that you always come with the news that few want to hear. Just as the Meltdown of 2008 started with a Full Moon in Capricorn, you are about to announce a lot of malfeasance for which all of us bear responsibility.

Air Signs

airGEMINI (May 20 – June 20)–The Present to you from the Universe this Holiday Season is a home to call your own. Although some people have paid too much or overreached in their capacity to buy the perfect place for themselves and their family, your choice will be perfect because you waited as long as you have. Start looking in March and you’ll be moved in June. When the time is right for a new abode the Universe will conspire to see that all pieces of the puzzle fall naturally into place. Patience is your new virtue.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 22)–Your Reward as we lean into 2018 is a more honest and balanced world view in which you can make better choices that have long-term affect on all those whose lives you touch. No one seems to wait longer for the more judicious verdict than do you. 2017 was a tougher row to hoe and there were too many celestial twists and turns to navigate. You will like the New Year better; it aligns with your native wisdom and abilities.

AQUARIUS (January 19 – February 17)–As you Water Bearers look to 2018 your capacity to endure and make your mark on the world will be written in stone. When you see an obstacle you will do what you need to remove it. In disputes you will look at your part as a way to resolve disagreements. And when opportunity knocks you will enter the open door for your next big challenge. And most of all when it looks as if all is falling down you will prop things back up through right use of words and the desire to make things better.

Water Signs

waterCANCER (June 21 – July 21)–It’s harder to pick a Gift that suits Cancer because she is much more of a giver than a taker. Her delight is in the joy and happiness of others. If a man, he will be much more mother to his children than their real mother. But the Universe has conspired to make sure that for this Holiday Season you ruled by the Crab make it to your cherished perch with the most loving and appreciative men, women and children surrounding you.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)–The Present you have wanted and waited for, since heaven knows when, is a clear and conscious path which will lead you to why you were reborn this lifetime. Truth be told, you have already begun the journey. What you have developed to a science is the intuition to know when to tarry as opposed to when you must leave the scene and the people involved. The last impediment to be removed is to pull back from people, places and things that muddy the waters for you. Your time is now.

PISCES (February 18 – March 19)–The Gift to you Fishes from the Universe this coming New Year is the capacity to stay the course creatively and to listen to the Voice within you, and not be deterred by the chattering masses who know nothing of your Personal Legend. Always remember that all ideas do not have feet and can walk anywhere with this notion. Check yourself for addictive and compulsive misbehaviors. No sign is subject to delusion and grandiosity quite like you are. All in all, 2018 will be what you make it.

Couples Who Went to the Extreme to Save Their Marriage
An interview with Carl and Joyce Gioia in RedBook Magazine

When Joyce Gioia couldn’t think of anything else to save her marriage and solve the trust issues that were tearing her and her husband, Carl, apart, she decided to make an investment into what she hoped could be a life-long, loving marriage.They packed their bags and headed to the Sedona Intensive: A $16,000 week-long intensive therapy session that helps people release all self-destructive behaviors.

The purpose of this particular therapy was to help them become stronger individuals, and the counseling was never couple-based. In fact, they only saw each other once per morning at 7 a.m. when they attended a 12-step meeting. The meetings addressed addictions—but it had nothing to do with substance abuse—it was focused on things like work addictions and co-dependence issues.

Between the supervised journaling, visits with renowned mental health professionals, and their genuine will to make things work, Carl and Joyce were able to recover their relationship.

“I believed that the nature and the intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing a resolution in our marriage,” Joyce said. And she was right. By looking at each other as total individuals, they were able to discover what was most important to their spouse and cater to those specific needs. Two years have passed and they’re more in love than ever.

Q & A

RedBook – Explain what the Sedona intensive is. 

The Sedona Intensive is a rigorous, weeklong self-exploration. During the week, through concentrated journaling and visits with mental and physical health professionals, we each invested a lot of effort and energy in self-discovery. This self-learning experience is designed and managed by well-respected psychologist Albert Gaulden and includes daily meeting with Albert to monitor progress and ensure results.

RedBook – How did you find out about it?

My brother, who is a nationally acclaimed Emergency Department physician, had gone through this experience with his wife Amber and highly recommended it to us.

RedBook – What did you do at the Sedona intensive? 

Every day, we began by attending a 12-Step Meeting with AA. Then, we had a rotating schedule of appointments with a psychologist, a psychiatrist, a yoga instructor, and/or an energy-balancing professional, and of course, Albert. In our “spare” time, we took independent hikes, though the spectacular Sedona canyons.

RedBook – What made you decide to go to this? 

We decided to do it, because nothing else seemed to be working to resolve our trust issues. I believed that the nature and intensity of this self-learning experience would help us move beyond the impasse that was preventing resolution of our marriage.

RedBook – How did it change your relationship?

We both worked very hard to discover why we engaged in self-destructive behaviors that stood in the way of our sharing the loving relationship we both thought possible. Two years later, we are more in love than ever before.

RedBook – Would you recommend it to others?

Yes, absolutely, if the two people are prepared to approach the experience with open hearts and minds and they are truly interested in doing the work to strengthen the relationship.

Lindsay, as I said before, “I honestly do not know what else we might have done that would have been so effective in turning the relationship around”.

Joyce Gioia

What Our Clients Are Saying About The Sedona Intensive

“The Sedona Intensive was a life changing experience for me. I had been searching for happiness and serenity for over 20 years and as a result of the Intensive I found that I was looking in all the wrong places. I not only experienced what happiness and serenity truly are but now understand the process needed to maintain and enhance that state of being. It doesn’t mean that I don’t experience the ups and downs of life but what it does mean is that those downs do not even come close to impacting me the way they used to. There is now a presence of mind that provides clarity and purpose that did not exist for me prior to the Intensive.

It is impossible to put a value on such a quality of life enhancing experience that the Sedona Intensive provides the person willing to do the work.It is by far the most significant thing I have done in my 62 years.

I came across a quote last week that summed up what I experienced and learned while attending the Sedona Intensive – ‘Once you stop clinging and let things be, you’ll be free’ -Bodhidharma (440ce – 528 ce), the Zen Teaching of Bodhidharma: A Bilingual Edition.”
