Fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus and they are present in 20-50% of all women. No one knows what causes fibroids. Carolyn Myss says they represent our unbirthed creativity – dreams and images of ourselves that have never seen the light of day. Fibroids are often associated with conflicts ...

At last count there were 58 million search results on the word ‘gratitude’ in Google. Clearly, gratitude is something that is relevant to many. Whether your perspective is from the Law of Attraction, or your own spiritual practice, gratitude is undoubtedly a ‘gift of the spirit.’ Yes, it can be a practice, as in a gratitude journal or a gratitude walk, but mostly its energy. If anything, the physical practices are a pathway to bringing this energy into your world on a regular basis. Here are 3 ways to BE the energy of gratitude:
You most likely have heard of the ‘Mozart Effect.’ There’s been plenty of research that Mozart’s music delivers all kinds of benefits, from improved creativity and clarity to raising your IQ. In the field of positive psychology there have also been some interesting studies. Gratitude also has an effect, and unlike Mozart’s Effect, it lasts more than 15 minutes. It’s affirming to know that perennial wisdom endures even the trying times. It embodies what’s true, which is the thru line running through your life, the warp and the woof of everyday moments.
I recently received a chain letter. You know the one -- send out to 7 friends right now and in 4 days your wishes will come true. The consequence of not forwarding is usually some terrible unforeseen event. They’re usually sent by some well-meaning hopeful person on your email list. Sometimes I ...
That’s a questio I’ve been hearing a lot lately, so I decided to get the goods from my friend and colleague, Ellen Britt of Marketing Qi. I mentored with Ellen to learn how to produce and host telesummits, and she’s hosted 12 events herself. There’s no one that knows more about free telesummits tha Ellen.

Environments are key in shifting your energy from ‘absence of’ to ‘appreciation for.’ When you’re feeling fizzled out and need to recharge with some gratitude vibes, shift your playground.

Remember the last time you were angry. How would your life be different if you could access that energy to inform your actions? Many of us were trained to believe that anger is a negative emotion. It was something to be denied, suppressed, or ignored. We were taught to hide it from others and ...
One of my favorite authors is Carolyn Myss and in her book “Anatomy of Healing” she reframes something I’ve heard for years, “We evolve at the rate of the tribe that we’re plugged into.” Now when I was little girl my mother put it like this, “Dime con quien andas, y te dire quien eres.” In ...

Though it can be both exhilarating and frustrating, it's a fantastic adventure that will create extraordinary opportunities for growth and expansion. The key to success is to master your mindset.

Language exerts hidden power, like a moon on the tides. Rita Mae Brown Words are way more than a means of communication; they shape your beliefs, behaviors, feelings and ultimately your actions. Written or spoken, words continuously propel you through life. They make you or break you. They lift you up, drag you down, wound you, and heal you. Words paint the landscape of your world. “In the beginning was the word, and the word was made flesh.” Yeah, you’ve got that kind of power. The words you speak have a profound effect on the people they touch.
Have you noticed that one of the habits that trips up your intentions is getting stuck in the disempowering stories? Those stories can be so overwhelming that sometimes it may seem as if they were the ONLY truth. However, most of what you remember of an event is filtered through a collection of beliefs, which in themselves may be far from the truth. There are lots of possibilities streaming in your environment right now. It’s your focus and flexibility in perception that will determine your bandwidth of experience.
One of the biggest mistakes that I see when coaching Conscious Entrepreneurs is they go for the safe, surface message. It’s not completely your fault, you know. You’ve been trained to fit in, to morph, to conform to systems and standards. If you made it out of your home, or through the educational system, with a sense of your brilliance intact you are to be congratulated. It’s a rare feat. You are one of the exceptions.
I’ve been reviewing my copy of Thomas Leonard’s The 28 Laws of Attraction (formerly, The Portable Coach), and relishing the simplicity of creating a vibrantly attractive life. That doesn’t mean it won’t take some ‘work’ on your part to consider these timeless invitations. Habits do require some handling. However, unhooking from the assumptions that rule your world will unleash the freedom and creative expression to design the life you want to live. Principle #1: Become Incredibly Selfish
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us. Albert Schweitzer Have you recently experienced the kindness of strangers? There’s something especially meaningful about it, because there is ‘no reason’ for it. They’re not friends or family and certainly have no obligation to help you. It’s an act of giving that is it’s own reward.
Most of us had the phrase ‘thank you’ drilled into us as a basic social concept. It seemed to me to be more about the appropriateness of the action than the energy behind it. But just like so many of the mundane habits that are part of our software programming the meaning behind this powerful practice has been lost amid the noise of daily living.
Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering. ~Don Miguel Ruiz One of the most powerful shifts that you can make is to reclaim your energy from the ‘hurts’ that you’ve experienced from other people.
What if your fixed view of reality were a strategy to make you feel safe, to conform to consensus and to harness your vital essence? I don’t usually consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but the more I have stepped outside the box of consensus reality the more that I have come to question rather than conform to the ‘way things are.’ Rigid belief is a model of the world that creates mental dysfunction. ~Mark Joyner
1. Living a Programmed Life. You won’t find this one on most lists, but part of the problem is that you’re not living YOUR life. You’re living a life that is mostly on automatic pilot. Moments of awareness and connection are fleeting. You know there’s more yet you fear to step up, be who you are and embrace your authentic self. A lot of this isn’t your conscious choice, it’s a decision made by default programming. Like spyware running on your system, you’re not even aware of it.
Wouldn’t it be great to know exactly what your clients really want? You could serve them easily, no bumbling and fumbling around. No hit or miss programs and services. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. However, there is a way for you to find out more about your clients and customers. A short and targeted survey can be used to gather quality information that can be used to improve many aspects of your business
If you find yourself worn out by worry, sick of scarcity and wondering when your next ‘cup runneth over’ moment will occur you might be experiencing the ebb and flow… of your flow. It can seem easier, at first, to be seduced by a scarcity mindset than to direct your attention to where there IS flow in your life. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that abundance has high tailed it out of your home, just because cash flow slows to a spurt.
Things are changing everywhere, all the time — in the economy, government, online. And it doesn’t look like the rate of change is going to slow down any time soon. Whether you look at the global or the local landscape, your personal or professional life, change is on the menu. You can easily get discouraged and fall into the failure of the ‘economic stimulus’ and the energy crisis, the divorce and the downsizing, the market downfall and the Mayan calendar. Or you can claim the invitation to take full responsibility for your own flow, whether it’s your ideas or your income.
Because money is a major psychic symbol of security, every thought that you have that endorses your insecurity affects your money making abilities. ~Stuart Wilde It’s easy to get swept away by the charisma and confidence of someone at the top of their game. Clarity and certainty engender trust and inspiration. Mastery is irresistibly magnetic. The converse is also true! Insecurity is just as palpable and has the opposite effect. It taps into your vulnerability and triggers your fight or flight response, activating your impulse to retreat.
There are SO many immediate benefits of a gratitude practice – a positive outlook, affirmation of your abundance, feeling good – that it’s not even a question of why, but when to practice. Researchers in the field of Positive Psychology have discovered, in recent studies that gratitude aficionados experience some profound long term effects, too. Whether it’s the research led by Robert Emmons at UC Davis, or the studies done by Dr. Manuel Pereira da Silva at the Universidade do Porto, here are 5 areas in your world sure to change, when you invoke the power of gratitude in your world:
Forgiveness is vital to personal evolution and impacts abundance, or the lack of it, in your world. When you choose to withhold forgiveness, you open yourself to blame, anger, resentment or even guilt, and you block the flow of what is naturally available to you. Ironically, when those emotions embed themselves in the foundation of your world, they only serve to magnetize more of the same to you thus, generating more limiting experiences.
Once upon a time things felt solid, sure, certain. . . Oh wait a minute, that’s a story I’m working on. Ah . . . the story! We do get caught up in it.
Joint venture strategies and tactics aren’t rocket science. They’re not difficult to grasp, or even implement, though they may take some elbow grease. Navigating the inner landscape is another story. More often what holds you back in approaching a potential JV partner is the perception that they are so much further along than you… They are more successful. They are well known. They are experts!
We were doing an exercise at the TEI Arizona intensive. We were witnessing each other’s magnificence. Does that sound corny, silly, and unrealistic? Well . . . it literally brought tears to my eyes and created such a sensation of overflowing joy that I was momentarily overcome with emotion and a vivid vision of the amazing human being before me exploded into my awareness. This person literally changed before my very eyes – she looked vibrant, beautiful, and alive, her energy was magnificent and a glow permeated her body and reached into the spaces beyond it.
The year is ALMOST over ... Are you ready to take advantage of the next virtual summit, giveaway, radio show or expert interview opportunity that comes your way... Or are you still waiting to figure out how to break into the joint venture playground? If you want to fast track your virtual tribe building, and serve more people, joint ventures are an essential strategy. Sharing your message online is the most effective way of reaching more people, in less time. But, you’ll need to have certain elements in place in order to partner with others. Let's get started.
Fear is an adventure in expanding limitation. Think about it. Normally you experience fear when you are at the edge of your experience. You are about to venture off the familiar path, and explore the new. Take a moment to find the fear in your body right now. Where do you feel the edge that you just won’t cross? What is the act that elicits the voices that diminish your resolve? What situation or circumstance spirals you into a quivering mass of doubt and uncertainty?
The more aware we become of our bodies, the more aware our bodies become. I recently heard a commercial on the radio about ‘the body’s natural aging process’ and my whole body jerked in reaction to it. What a bunch of hooey! That is SO not true; there is NOTHING natural about the aging process. As a matter of fact, scientists can’t really explain why tissue starts degenerating. Cells should just go on recreating, but for some folks the innate body intelligence goes awry.
There’s ONE thing that you can do which will totally change your relationship to abundance… Take responsibility for it! That doesn’t mean you go full steam with any Type A tendencies. Instead, choose to consciously partner with life and how YOU can be the architect of abundance in your world.
Life is ripe with opportunity, isn’t it? Especially in the decomposition of your old life. Have you noticed that the disintegration of relationships, loss of work or health challenges are actually portals to potential? What if instead of resisting change you welcomed it? What if instead of avoiding the breakdown you embraced the breakthrough? Check in right now and notice . . . At what level are you willing to engage the energy of what’s possible for YOU and for LIFE now? You’ve bookmarked the websites, read the books and printed out the energy alerts.r
The internet has created an educated consumer with a staggering number of choices of where to invest time and attention, energy and money. How will YOU connect with the folks you’re here to serve if you haven’t honed in on who they are? If you haven’t spelled out who you serve and what you help them with, it will be very difficult, nearly impossible, to attract your ideal clients. This is the dilemma for coaches, creatives and conscious entrepreneurs looking to share their message in today’s marketplace. Stand out, or lose out!
Have you ever found it difficult to accept someone’s expression of gratitude? It’s not that uncommon, so don’t go beating yourself up about it. How do you navigate this tricky terrain? First, let’s explore what might be happening unde eath the rumbling of your hesitant response. Here are a few things that might be occurring under the surface:
Ever find yourself in a situation where something was required of you but you didn’t want to do it? Did you do it or did you push it away, avoid the task, or postpone and procrastinate? Sometimes it’s not about outsourcing. Sometimes there is something in the energy of resistance that is calling you into a greater potential. So, how do you know whether it’s for you, or not for you? How do you determine if something is calling for YOUR attention or if just needs to get done? How do you distinguish between avoidance and delegation?
Life is a field of unlimited possibilities. ~Deepak Chopra Everyone has their own experience of how to tap into the abundant flow of possibilities. Have you thought about yours? Think of a time when your juice was low and you experienced an infusion of inspiration that moved you into action. What sparked you into movement? Taking the time to articulate your process is priceless. You’ll then be able to be more at choice with your flow. Here’s a process that I use to unleash everyday abundance:
It doesn’t matter your country of origin, socio-economic background, or political point of view, no one escapes the pulsating pull of money. However you slice it, you are in some kind of relationship to money, whether it’s a good one or a bad one. You’re either after it, saving it, hoarding it, planning for it or denying its power over you. And though you may get that money is a currency, a form of energy and intent, you may still find that you are hankering after it and needing more of it.
Remember the last time you were angry. How would your life be different if you could access that energy to inform your actions? Many of us were trained to believe that anger is a negative emotion. It was something to be denied, suppressed, or ignored. We were taught to hide it from others and ...
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. ~Melody Beattie Have you ever noticed that some people seem to navigate challenges and difficulties gracefully? No matter what’s happening around them, their energy illuminates everything and things just seem more possible when they’re around.
Are you stressed out about your cash flow? Are you cutting back on things you normally do because ‘times are tough?” Have you relinquished your overflow feel and settled into deliberate downsizing? Oddly enough, its times like these when radical self care is exactly what will shift your point of view. Self care is not a frivolous indulgence; it is an act of personal power. Self Care expresses your willingness to affirm the value of your Essence and creates the foundation required to BE the change for yourself and others.
Gratitude is the “forgotten factor” in happiness research. Robert Emmons Spiritual traditions have long embraced the power of gratitude as a devotional tool and an integral element of wholeness. Science is now confirming what perennial wisdom has touted for ages: a gratitude practice, and specifically a gratitude journal, will boost your happiness and sense of well being. A gratitude journal, and the experience of gratitude, changes your focus from what’s wrong with your life to what’s right with it.
An intention or a desire naturally manifests an impulse to take some kind of action that will lead you to the realization of your desire. It’s a built in mechanism, like your desire to eat when you’re hungry or sleep when you’re tired. It doesn’t matter whether that desire is a new job, more money, weight loss, or a relationship. It’s as inevitable as the launching of a guided missile. We decide on our target, track the best path to our target and launch the missile. The launching of our desire happens in a matter of seconds. The manifestation of it, however, can take longer.
Sometimes as much as you’d like for things to be other than what they are, they aren’t. You can negotiate, reorient, delay the inevitable or even use your favorite feel good strategy and it won’t make a difference. You may even pull out your favorite books by your most beloved authors and won’t find succor or respite. At the end of the day the only thing that gets you through these challenging experiences is mastering your inner game. “When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.” ~Victor Frankl
Remember the last time you were angry . . . How would your life be different if you could access that energy to inform your actions? Many of us were trained to believe that anger is a negative emotion. It was something to be denied, suppressed, or ignored. We were taught to hide it from others and also from ourselves. It wasn’t nice, it wasn’t good. Maybe you used the power of anger to justify your expression in the world, regardless of how it affected others. Either extreme has its consequences. Neither one embraces anger powerfully and authentically.
You don’t have to do anything, you have just to sit silently doing nothing, because any kind of doing is going to take you away from yourself. When you are not doing anything, the whole energy gathers inside; it is not invested anywhere. The moment you pass your mind, all the energy that was invested in thoughts is released. When you pass your heart, all the energy that was invested in your emotions, feelings, sentiments, is released. Now you are becoming too full of energy.
Menopause is a time of metamorphosis. Our bodies require a break, a time to reflect, to weigh in; it’s a time to transition from nurturing others to taking ownership of ourselves. At mid-life more of our life energy becomes available to us. Life is looking to partner with us. Its organic energy is seeking to co-create with us. However, we must unravel the unconscious beliefs that have blocked us from embracing our full power. It is truly a time of discovery, transformation, and joy. Try these ten tools for partnering with this masterful energy:
One of the paradoxes of abundant cash flow is that the more you ‘need’ money, the less it graces your world. The more you focus on money as your outcome, the less that money manifests in your world. That’s because something is seriously flawed with this model of abundance.
