About Live Now
We are born to live as effortlessly and as joyfully and as freely as the birds in this picture. As children, we do live that way. Then, as we become adults, something happens. A process begins and our lives slowly become heavier and heavier until it is an effort for us just to get through the day. Even for the most successful at living, life consists of coping with various challenges. Coping is still effort. Most of us are weighted down with responsibilities. Our goals are often obstructed by our own internal failings. Stress, anxiety, depression, and fear fill our lives. We stand in the way of our own success. So, relief often comes in the form of alcohol, drugs and other addictions and diversions. We look forward to "happy hour" and the weekends because we can't "really" be happy at work during the week and we only "really" feel alive on the weekends.
There is a better way. Live Now Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to effortless, joyful, successful living. This is made possible through a unique mental health method called "Live Now Talk Therapy" or simply "Talking With Al". Live Now Talk Therapy was developed by William Al Mejia. It was the direct result of his own personal growth process: Al had a very troubled life. He was abused as a young child and unwanted by his father. As a young adult he became a raging alcoholic. He lost large amounts of money. He attempted suicide several times. Finally, after surviving a deadly crash in his Cadillac, Al's desperation and the feeling that something was preventing him from ending it all, led to years of what he described as: "working on himself". Al discovered a way to slowly but permanently free himself from the psychological imbalances that were blocking his success in life. He became noticeably more happy and positive. When other people saw the changes in Al, they began asking him to help them, too. He found that simply through talking with them, he could guide others through the same process that he had gone through by himself. Al worked with a variety of mental health conditions: from schizophrenia, to alcoholism and addictions, to what we commonly refer to as "normal".
Live Now Talk Therapy is an alternative to psychiatry, psychology, counseling, spiritual counseling, family counseling, life coaching, mental health counseling and success counseling. Those of you who are looking for solutions to life problems, will find your answers here. Those of you on a spiritual path or curious about taking a spiritual journey, will find what you are looking for here. Many of the books that talk about spiritual enlightenment are not able to provide you with the tools to actually attain it. Any of you who have experienced brief moments of real "awareness", are familiar with how quickly you return to your "old" self. With the tools that you receive from Live Now, your moments of "awareness" will increase in number and last longer and longer until you remain there. You will be led to the point of your own discovery. There is no need to go to a monastery or a cave to do this. You won't spend hours meditating. You start from where you're at and remain a working member of society during the entire process.
Live Now Talk Therapy is a method of guiding a person to change their focus of living; from living mostly through their thought processes to living through their intuition, exclusively. A person comes to see that they are not the thinking (the voice inside your head) that they believed was them all along. They are the God given intuition that is the clear, permanent, reliable, unchanging, inspirational and knowing part of them. As a result of this change of focus from thought to intuition, psychological and emotional imbalances disappear. Life becomes easier. The person is able to proceed with life unimpeded by internal barriers to success.
The Live Now Talk Therapy process consists of a series of in person or phone consultations. Through these informal consultations you will be provided with the techniques and guidance that will enable you to change your focus from thought to intuition. The number of consultations and the length of treatment will vary with each person and the depth of their individual imbalances.
To make this therapy available to as many people as possible, there is no set fee for the initial consultations. Once people begin the Live Now process and see the value this therapy has in their lives, compensation will be arranged in the form of donations.
William Al Mejia had been practicing Live Now Talk Therapy since about 1972. He developed Live Now Talk Therapy totally on his own and without any formal education or preparation for the process. The only significant education and experience that he received concerning this therapy was the direct result of personally going through the Live Now process alone.
Al passed away in March of 2008 from a severe stroke. For those of us who worked with Al, he won't be around any longer to call about a problem that just came up. He won't be available to go out to dinner to talk over recent developments in one's life. But, he hasn't left us unprepared for his passing. His work lives on in the many people whose lives he touched. The lucky ones have years of Al's advice and counseling to draw from. His desire was to provide a program for living a centered and blessed life for all people. This web site is part of an effort to honor and continue his work. There are people who have successfully gone through the Live Now process with Al and they are available for consultation in his place.
