New & News: Intensive Workshops on Zoom in September and October - and going forward for the foreseeable future. This website -  Joy2meu.com - is designed in a program that is obselete (Netscape) - which is why I started a new Mobile Friendly site a couple of years ago - Joy2MeU2.com.  I keep an old computer to work on it, because it doesn’t work with any operating system from X on.  It is probably not going to work one of these days, as it has been giving me more and more problems.  I am putting this notice up here to let you know that very soon I may not be able to update this site,  and it will be good to go to Joy2MeU2.com for the latest news.  I am in the process of writing an Update Newletter to cover the last 2  1/2 years since my last Update Newsletter -  Valentine's Update-February 2019  - and hope to get it published before the end of November.

New & News: A new article Into The Forest - and out of Cambria, a new phone number 805-900-5237, and Intensive Workshops on Zoom in August.

New & News May 17th: Announcing a new special offer page for phone / Zoom / Skype counseling and Zoom Workshops in June & July.
"My goal in working with people is to empower them to be in-dependent. To teach people how to have internal boundaries so that they can separate the messages coming from the old tapes and old wounds from the messages of intuitive Truth from their Spirit - so that they can start learning how to relax and trust their Spirit to guide them. . . . The telephone / Zoom / Skype counseling has proven a wonderful venue for being able to help individuals to see where they are at on their own personal path with some clarity and compassion - from people who are just starting recovery to people who have been on a healing, recovery, spiritual path for many years.” - Robert Burney

New & News: Announcing a new article: Acceptance is the Answer and 2 Zoom Workshops in May.

New & News: Announcing Zoom Workshops in April & May.
Robert Burney posted on Facebook March 17, 2016  "When I was a kid I used to feel sorry for my mother because she was only half Irish and I was 100% Irish.  Not sure where that came from but Happy St. Paddy's Day."

New & News February 9th, 2021: Announcing Zoom Workshops in February and March.  Be Loving to your self on Valentine's Day 2021!

"It is very sad that so many of us have had to shut down our hearts and locked the romantic part of us away in a deep dark place within us.

It is very sad - but it is truly tragic that we blame ourselves.  We have been victimized by societies dysfunctional programming and we beat up on the victim of those forces that we were powerless over.

We do deserve Love in our lives.  We deserve companionship and support and friendship.  We deserve touch and affection and sexual fulfillment.

We all do! . . . Make this Valentine's Day a True celebration of Love by choosing to Love and have compassion for your wounded self (own the emotional pain) at the same time you are allowing your Spiritual Self to nurture (tell yourself Spiritual Truth) and protect you (tell the critical parent voice to shut up.)” - Romantic Relationships ~ The Greatest Arena for Spiritual & Emotional Growth Chapter 16 - A Valentine's Day Prayer

“My next Zoom Workshop will start on January 3rd, 2021.  My sobriety birthday.  I have been clean and sober since January 3rd, 1984.  It will probably be quite emotional for me to do Part 1 of this workshop on my 37th Sobriety Anniversary. 

I started doing my Life-Changing Workshop in May of 2020 because of the pandemic. A major reason that I decided to do my workshop on Zoom, is to leave more of a record of my work in case I should end up being taken out by the virus.  I am in the susceptible Boomer group, so anything is possible. (I haven't gotten covid but I did have a minor stroke and some other physical issues this year - getting old isn't for sissies.)  I believe that the approach to inner child / emotional healing that I share in the workshop is the missing piece - the missing perspective - of the puzzle of life that so many people have been seeking.  It is a formula for integrating intellectual knowledge and spiritual Truth into one's emotional relationship with life.   It is the key to learning how to be more Loving to your self - and to turning life into an adventure to be experienced instead of an ordeal of suffering to be endured.  Zoom has proven to be a good vehicle for sharing this formula with people around the world.

It will be very interesting to me to do my workshop on my sobriety birthday - makes me emotional just to think about it.  As I say again and again in the article below, I am sooooo grateful for my recovery - and the life that it has given me for the last 37 years.  Here is the link to the Zoom Workshop for anyone who wants to join me.  Such a blessed and Joyfilled life I have been gifted with because of being willing to follow where I was led in my recovery.”  - MY SOBRIETY DATE: JANUARY 3RD, 1984

"Hello Robert,

I hope this finds you well. You and I had a few phone sessions over a year ago. Since that time, I have stopped drinking, focused on living in abundance and have allowed the universe to guide my life. That being said, my income has doubled and is still climbing, my relationship has improved, abundance has filled my life and I find that I am much happier person. I am more confident than I've ever been and am actually excited about the future. These days, I look forward to each day and all of the possibilities that are available to me.

I was compelled to send you a gift today to express my gratitude for being such a beacon of inspiration. I am grateful for you and the gifts you have enabled me to receive and I send you joy and blessings for being a such a spiritual being.

Joy, wisdom & harmony." - in response to page I posted for my 70th birthday on July 23rd, 2018.

New & News May 24, 2018: Announcing a new website with links to my articles on mobile friendly sites: Joy2MeU2.com - and a siteindex page that on your phone will present you with most of my articles on mobile friendly sites (around 170.)

New & News January 4th, 2018: Two new blogs: My Sobriety Date: January 3rd, 1984 and Illusions “The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah.”

New & News September 10, 2017: I have moved back to Cambria - hurrah!  I have updated my Darien page to explain what has happened and why - and in the course of doing that I published a blog with some things I had written on that page: The Age of Reason - Darien and the Tooth Fairy.

New & News August 14, 2017: Announcing that I am moving back to Cambria next week.  Here is an Update Newsletter in which I talk about my feelings for Cambria as I was accepting that I might have to leave there in 2005 - and includes the story of the miracles that led me to Cambria in the first place.   This is a story I wrote for Mother's Day in 2003 in which I talk about some of the things I love about Cambria.  I have added the testimonials from the August workshop in Encinitas to the Intensive Testimonials page.  I do not plan on offering any more Workshops in San Diego once I am not living there.  

New & News July 22nd, 2017:  Announcing that I have posted a page with a message from the past and one from the present as a way of honoring the 30th Anniversary of my 39th Birthday.

New & News July 12th, 2017:  Announcing that I am changing the date for the next Intensive Training Day in Encinitas to August 6th.  Now that I have my grandson Darien living with me I wanted to create the possibility that we might be able to move back to the Central Coast of California. (I updated my Darien page for the first time in 5 years - and included some links to pages where I talk about my relationship with the Central Coast.)  I lived in Cambria for many years and loved it - and always wanted to move back up there.  I have stayed in San Diego however to be close to Darien in case he needed me.  Now he needs me, but since he is living with me, we can move together - and it seems the schools there are a lot better than down here.  It is more likely we will move to Morro Bay than Cambria - because it is a bit more affordable, but it will be expensive to move and I am not sure if we will be able to do it this summer.  It is possible we will need to stay where we are for another school year.  If we do move this will probably be the last Intensive Training Workshop that I will do in San Diego.  I would put the odds at about 75% we stay, and 25% we move at the moment - but if I had left the date on the 20th it would have been the day before school starts up there, so am making the change to open up possibilities.

New & News June 3, 2017:  Today is the 31st anniversary of my conscious commitment to codependency recovery - The Story of "Joy to You & Me"

New & News January 3rd, 2016: Today is my sobriety birthday.  I have been clean and sober since January 3rd,1984 - an amazing 32 years.  On this page of my website I talk about early recovery - and include quotes from different articles in which I talk about getting sober.

“Twelve step recovery is a program of empowerment.  Many people erroneously assume that the fact that first step involves admitting powerlessness means that 12 step recovery disempowers people. The Truth is exactly the opposite.

It was only when I admitted that I was powerless to control my drinking that I gained the power to stop drinking.  As long as I was trying to control my drinking out of ego and will power, I was powerless to stop drinking alcoholically.  It was when I opened up to getting help from a power greater than myself that I gained the power to transform my life.” - A Higher Power of my own understanding 2 - the beginning of empowerment

New & News April 13, 2015: Announcing the publication of an Audiobook of Robert Burney’s eBook The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted A Larger Spiritual Paradigm now available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes.

Cover ebook New & News February 26th, 2013: Announcing the publication of Robert’s newest eBook: The Metaphysics of Emotions - emotional energy is real.  This ebook is the follow up to The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted - and the two ebooks will be combined in one hard copy book.  The Metaphysics of Emotions - emotional energy is real is available in Amazon Kindle format.  


Law of Attraction cover
New & News January 7th, 2013:  Announcing the publication of Robert’s newest eBook: The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted. This eBook is available now in Amazon Kindle format.


This eBook is the first of two that will be combined and published as a hard copy book in February. In this one I am talking about what I see as misinterpretations and misunderstandings in the way the Law of Attraction is being taught that actually feed into people’s codependency.  Here is a quote from the eBook about why I wrote it.

"I am publishing this book because I believe that the way the Law of Attraction is being taught by most people who are teaching it today is not ultimately Loving.  I believe it is being taught in a way that makes many of the people hearing it feel ashamed;  in a way that causes people to focus on reaching a destination at the expense of being present in the now;  in a way that reinforces the delusion that there is something inherently wrong with being human, with human beings.  It is also being taught by most spiritual teachers in a way that discounts and devalues emotions and emotional healing."

I address the emotional component in the second eBook - The Metaphysics of Emotions - which could be done this month but more likely February. I will then be publishing both ebooks in one paperback book: The Law of Attraction - Misunderstood & Misinterpreted A Larger Spiritual Paradigm - including The Metaphysics of Emotions.

New & News December 30th 2012:
Announcing that a new audio version of Codependence The Dance of Wounded Souls A Cosmic Perspective of Codependence and thenew audio Human Condition is now available on audible.com  This is a literal audio book with another narrator - not the audio that I did myself which was slightly abridged.  I think that the narrator did a good job - but of course it doesn't have the passion and the points of emphasis that the one I did has.  As one person's feedback stated:

"The audio version is absolutely a mind-blowing audio spiritual experience! You rock, man!! It's one thing to read the articles on the clinically electric computer screen and completely another level of involvement hearing the man himself utter his own words of wisdom and spiritual alchemy. One can tell that you aren't just mumbling through a book you've written; while listening it becomes certain that the message truly is your spiritual truth and not just some neatly packaged intellectual mind job disguising itself in spiritual language. An enormous THANK YOU for sharing your story and perspective for all the world to see, I truly appreciate it, man!"  

The version that I did is for sale right now as an MP3 download.
