"Lindstrom knows James Ray, the two grew up together in Southern California, and now they work in the same industry together." Oh, dear. Life Coach Lindstrom seems to have a credibility problem that goes beyond his apparent willingness to give his "colleague" James Arthur Ray a huge benefit of the doubt. Either that, or the author of this piece misunderstood Coach Lindstrom. Ray grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, graduated from high school there, went to junior college there, and worked there for a few years before eventually ending up in SoCal. The life-coach biz is full of scammers too --not all of them, of course, but enough of them to be snarkworthy: http://cosmicconnie.blogspot.com/2007/04/is-word-coaching-or-ka-ching.html ~Cosmic Connie

James "Earl" Ray is a murderer! Shoot him!!

VERY FIRST retail store personal coach speaks

How about these people join the army and do a tour in Afghanistan. They get to be outside thier comfort zone and also give back a little to thier country at the same time. A win-win deal!

This guy is making a noble effort of dammage control for his "industry" and it comes off as a slick bunch of crap.I need to change my game.There are way too many gullible rich folk out there to leave untapped.Ill see you all later,Im moving to Sedona!

'Comfort zone' has nothing to do with this - this became a medical issue, pure and simple. To put folks in a situation where they become so dehydrated that their kidneys fail is negligent and egregious behavior.

This guy Lindstrom is a personal Scottsdale coach and a colleague of the cult leader James Arthur Ray, and he's proud of it too, amazing with all the tragedy thats happened. Yet, he talks carefully not to make any waves with Ray and his global spiritual industries spies, they may be listening to every word he says. Gosh, do all these spiritully enlightened experts ever get their own minds, or must they suck up to the big Kahuna "Secrets" leader who didnt know squat about the real authentic way to do a sweat lodge. But, he sure as hell knew how to hide from the police till he had a tight story put together with the aid of his lawyers and tons of publicists. Frankly, personal coaches are aso a scammers, they take license to steal your money, your brain and your soul, till you are left with nada....wake up people, speak to God directly from your own self, be one to one with Him, you don't need anyone to clear your soul or purify it, its evil and blasphemous. People are being purified for tons of money and profits.
