And What is it? Many people ask: “what exactly is the difference between therapy and coaching?” Well, I feel rather well qualified to answer that question although, there are many styles of both therapy and coaching. From my perspective as both a therapist and a coach I say

I had a beautiful weekend walking by the river with a friend in the glorious sunshine. Whilst we were strolling, my friend started to talk about the animal kingdom and she asked me which animals I liked and what my preferences were. I said to her, "what do you think the difference is between ...

Whenever I am feeling a little out of sorts or a little frustrated in life, I turn to any book written by Alan Watts and I find that it inevitably cheers me up. He had an eloquent means of bringing to the fore the simplest explanations for the most complicated questions in life. Today I happened to pick up Become What You Are and was reminded of the illusion of self-mastery in the process of self-discovery. By that I mean the idea that we can transcend ourselves by something

Today’s reflection is inspired by my personal journey and the journey of my long time clients. Enlightenment doesn't mean you have reached super human status. What it means is you have the same life lessons and life experiences, and you are choosing to view these experiences with a lens of expansive awareness, striving to release judgment and criticism. You are also attempting to maintain inner peace in the midst of all life experiences. Sometimes you may feel like you are not entirely living your spiritual practice in your day-to-day living.

What if you heard that to “let go”, you had to hold on? What if you were told that to relax, you had to be tense? What if you found out that to be aware and present, you first had to be unaware and absent? Your first thought might be ‘how ridiculous!’ But on second thought, your own experience ...

Returning to the groove of set schedules with school and school activities and all the other stressors that also come into play with this change in routine, I remind myself nothing gets accomplished any quicker if I dwell on everything all at once and look far ahead. Here are affirmations I am choosing to focus on to assist me in living in the present moment: I choose to greet each new day with a fresh perspective; each moment in this day has not been lived.

Sleep. It is something we need and love. However, we deprive ourselves from it almost everyday. Unfortunately, teenagers are doing the same. The main reason for that may be another thing we love-- our phones. Lack of sleep can cause long term health effects and can negatively affect our teenagers in school. As parents, we should try our best to get our teenagers enough sleep. How much sleep do teenagers need? We all know the importance of sleep. It is where we grow, rest, and

Raising children is difficult, and often means striving to strike a perfect balance. They need to eat their vegetables, but a cookie here or there won’t hurt. They need to do well at school, but you don’t want to push them too hard. You want them to become independent, but they’re still children that need supervision and guidance. This balancing act comes with giving your child a phone, too. Many parents want to monitor their child’s phone for their safety, but also w

Acceptance is sometimes looked at negatively. In the past if someone told me “you should accept it” or “just accept it” I’d feel low & defeated. A negative mindset or an egoistic mind would take such a powerfully freeing word and turn it into a death sentence. Like surrender could mean- defeat/retreat or forgiveness- weak/unjustified, to some. But, my friend, if you haven’t quiet grasped those terms; each word has the key to true happiness.

Are you by any chance a marketplace mystic without realizing it? It took me a long time to discover my own penchant for the mystical path. And it took longer still to realize that I needed to follow it while living in the practical world of daily marketplace reality. When I became clear about ...

When I was a youngster I remember my parents and grandparents telling me that my health was the most important thing in my life 'because without it you can't do anything' or words to that effect. I wonder if they knew they were imparting ancient wisdom to me? It is now obvious to me, that as a ...

Why do we have emotions in the first place? Many of us experience them as a disturbance, something out of our control. But they’re not simply a thorn in our side. They are natural energy responses to what we experience through our senses. They’re vital messages from our Soul, our higher self, to our personality or body. Please note that many Western spiritual books use the terms Soul and Spirit as one and the same. However, in Taoism and some other esoteric writings, our

Background Statistics Before cell phones were invented, kids were the biggest distractions to each other in the classroom. Things like passing each other notes and talking over the teacher were prevalent, but the source of students’ distractions has significantly changed with the advent of phones. With new, engaging technologies being invented by phone companies everyday, getting distracted by phones is easier than ever before. 88% of teenagers aged 13 to 17 in the U.S. hav

I have always been optimistic and positive. I find that optimism comes naturally to some and can be cultivated by most. Here are a few affirmations to encourage an optimistic view point: I choose this mindset: If I think positive thoughts and take positive actions; I can create a positive outcome. I believe, in full faith and trust, that I can and will create a life filled with hope for the betterment of all.

I explore the depth of quietness that resides within and there I connect to my Higher Source. It is there I ask myself life questions and wait patiently to receive the answers or the guidance needed. Surrender all skepticism and doubt. Trust what you experience in the stillness. Move forward, unwavering, aware that the choice made is the journey to be taken at that moment in time. There will always be lessons to learn, moments of absolute certainty, joy and times of puzzled quandary.

If you are like everyone else you have an email account and have been online for a while now. You are careful who you talk to and give your email address to, because you do not want spam mail. Before you know what happened your inbox is getting loaded down everyday with emails that you have not a clue of who the person is. Some you will not think twice about and you will just delete them. Then there are others that appear to have some of your information that you do not recal

Just like anything else in the world, the internet can be a dangerous place- especially for kids. As a parent, there are multiple risks associated with your kid going on the internet. Ranging from anything like cyberbullying to online predators, these are dangers that many parents are not familiar with. Here is a list of a few of the biggest internet dangers. Online Predators This is probably the most threatening part to our children’s physical being. Unfortunately, the ris

Robert Wilson Offers a Perfect Way to ‘Let Go’ Cowboy Wisdom NLP Coaching Letting Go CD allows you to let go. www.cowboy-wisdom.com/LettingGo.htmlReaders, in the past few weeks we have been speaking about a truly amazing man by the name of Robert Wilson.

That thing that we don’t seem to be able to find anymore?

Robert Wilson Tells Us All Why Money is Actually Our Friend A download a new way to view money. www.cowboy-wisdom.com/MoneyFriend.html Money. When people think about it, talk about it, brood over it - money is the one thing that seems to make everyone go into bouts of anger, frustration, jealousy, envy, or just plain depression. “Money is the root of all evil,” they say, but Robert Wilson reminds us all that money is NOT the root of all evil, it is what people do with the money that brings about the ‘evil’ part of having wealth.

Choosing the journey of self-discovery is no easy feat. Spending quiet time with self in reflection and meditation allows us to explore who we truly are. We begin to evaluate, hopefully from a detached space or observational standpoint, what we like about ourselves and what we don’t. To change, we must give ourselves permission to change and allow the transformation to occur. It is important that you trust yourself and your intuition to determine what you desire to change or let go and what you want to remain constant.

Owning my own personal power can feel really comfortable at times and other times quite the opposite! I gently remind myself I owe it to myself and those around me to allow the beauty of loving, compassionate power to be exhibited in my daily life. Here are some affirmations that assist me in claiming my power in a lovingly assertive manner:

Fear is everywhere! It's in our own lives; it's in the lives of others; and it's in our children's lives and our parents' lives. And, to a large extent, how successful we are in overcoming fears - fear of commitment, rejection, intimacy, fear of failure and even fear of success - is how successful (and happy) we are in life. So learning how to overcome fear is very important. To us all. So how to do so? Well, overcoming fear is actually very simple. It only involves one step, and that is the act of facing fear.

Having you been talking to a friend lately, only to have the conversation constantly interrupted as one or both of you grab for your phone? While we know this isn’t polite behavior, many of us do it anyway. I looked into why this was and found there are three distinct triggers that go off inside of us and have us scrambling to unlock our phone screen. 1. Boredom Phone Scrolling I first really noticed this phone phenomenon the last time I was in the waiting room at our docto

A friend shared with me a wonderful thought pattern that I have incorporated into my thinking vocabulary, "There is no right, wrong, good or bad." I like this sentence because it forces me to interpret the situation, to the best of my ability, from a non judgmental space. I try to view life from a higher consciousness, notice I said try.

We need wisdom for success that addresses the pattern of the wave! The wave describes the inevitable up-and-down pattern of life. Self-help success teachings usually seem to imply that there is a way to skip the lows, the falls, the losses and just rise right to the top. But that just leads to disappointment. We need wisdom for success that guides us through the disappointments, and also through the triumphs. Losing is unavoidable and winning is never enough. True wisdom fo

The other day I was in a setting that I was not familiar with and frankly felt a bit out of element. As I stood in this feeling, I gently reminded myself you are safe to be you. It sounds so silly to grown women but sometimes a gentle reminder to myself that I can be ME and allow myself to beat my own unique drum as I like the sound of my drum. Here are some affirmations to support being true to who you are:

I have always had to go deeply into my own rage in order to bring it into the light to heal. If I don't allow myself to feel the rage, I cannot heal either myself or others. Not allowing myself to feel it is like clamping a lid on a boiling pot of water. Eventually, it boils over in uncontrolled ways. Feeling the rage does not mean acting it out against others. But what then do we do with this powerful emotion?

Freedom means the absence of restraint or control. It gives people the authority over their own self, their decisions, and actions according to their own likes and dislikes without any intervention. It is their right of freewill. There are four types of freedoms in general parlance, individual freedom, political freedom, religious freedom, spiritual freedom. Freedom is promised today to the citizens of different countries under their respective constitutions and to the world

Getting around the right people is not only a life changer, but can be a life saver. Find those that work smarter rather than harder. Where? There are many places, but just talking to people you don’t know is a good start. Maybe the random guy in a fast food line. That’s where I found a gentleman that works on investment software. It all started with a simple “What did you order?”. If you are in the people business, which most of us are, not only will you be doing your job, y

Learning to greet your life with an open heart makes life experiences a bit more vulnerable and emotional. Living life connected to how your heart feels about life choices brings a sense of inner peace with your life choices. Here are some affirmations to support you as you open the heart chakra:

There is no need for forgiveness and yet every need for forgiveness. What in the world do I mean by that paradoxical statement? In what sense is there no need for forgiveness?

Self Help Daily We need it. Just like we need some fruits and veggies, we need a dose of self help daily. You should not go a day without it. Self help daily will keep you at peace and in positive emotional state of mind. If you internalize many negative things. If you feel a little down, off or over emotional about small things. Starting a self help daily regimen will change all of that! The same things that would normally effect you, won't. You will be at ease, more in aliment of what you truly want. Even more creative, more open and more giving.

A couple of weeks ago my husband and I slipped away to Portland, Oregon. This beautiful city is one of our favorite miniature vacation spots and it is practically right in our backyard. As ever, we had an amazing time. We walked for hours, perused the many wonderful shops, dined on incredible food and spirits, and spent many simple, yet fabulous, moments together. Yummy! One particular experience we had while in Portland prompted me to write this piece. I was gifted with a re

I have cultivated the practice of living in the here and now with much effort over the last five years. However, we live in a world that is dictated by the future, tending to rob us of the experience of the present.

Sometimes we think of thoughtfulness when we think of kindness. Recently I read where Doreen Virtue refers to kindness as "Lovefulness". When I read that it resonated with me and made me stop and reflect. I like to think of kindness as an expression or action filled with Love. Love filled expression, or action, can be directed outwardly toward others or inwardly toward ourselves. Today, I challenge you to show kindness toward yourself first in some way, shape or form. By doing so, you will have the ability to show Kindness to others more authentically, naturally and effortlessly.

Wisdom is having gained knowledge, understanding, experience, discretion, and intuitive understanding, along with a capacity to apply these qualities well. It is the judicious application of knowledge. To some extent the terms wisdom and intelligence have similar and overlapping meanings. The status of wisdom or prudence as a virtue is recognized in cultural, philosophical and religious sources.nn Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia © 2001-2006 Wikipedia Contributors (Discl

Once I released the need to do some of the beautiful traditions that had been a part of me for so long but had lost the authenticity for me as well as the true spirit by which they were intended, I was better able to embrace the festiveness of this season.

“Experience is the best teacher” may be a time-tested proverb, but in reality, learning from life’s experiences is not always as simple as the conventional wisdom suggests. We each learn different lessons from life’s experiences based on the knowledge we use for making sense of things that happen. While knowledge is important to us, it is not always reliable. All knowledge is limited and limits us. Yet we often ignore the flaws or narrowness of the knowledge that we h
