As you walk through life it is often wondered how I fit in, what is my mission, what is my purpose, and how can I earn more money. These thoughts get bantered around our heads a lot. Mostly when we are feeling low, down, or just plain stuck.

Being stuck is truly a sign of how little value we place on our selves, our ideas, our options, our abundance that we already have. Settling is just a bad habit that has been trained into our psyche and is an excuse to stay in a situation that doesn’t work for us.

Scientists have, at one time, calculated that we were valued at $32 in the chemical market. Today I believe those numbers would be somewhat greater but overall we often do not value our selves even that much. If we did then some of those brilliant ideas floating around would come to fruition.

I recently read a line somewhere that stated the energy in our body could light the United States. What I discovered is that studies were done where a DuPont scientist said that the atoms of your body contain the potential energy of more than 11 million kilowatt hours per pound. So the overall estimate is that the average person is worth $85 billion dollars. Wow, we’ve so undervalued ourselves.

Some of us now and then tend to wonder what our mission in this life is, especially when we feel down, and we do not recognize how valuable a human being we really are. We come up with some great ideas, but feel they are not that good. If they were, someone else would come up with them. It’s too bad that, almost always, we place little values on our selves and ideas.

The value we place on ourselves come from external standards. Parents, media, and The Joneses help us place standards on ourselves. Begin to think, every day, I am valuable just as I am. You will find that new opportunities arise at the least expected moments.

The electronics in our body are really just energy and we can turn it off or we can turn it on. That energy can be directed in positive ways or negative ways. By directing that energy into a positive avenue you have less friction. For example you feel worried by all the media hype around the economy. What then happens is that you attract worry energy around you. I often tell mother’s of my youngest clients (kids) to turn the television off for 2 months and see how the behavior of that child changes. Miraculous changes occur and they are more energetic and happier. When we are happier and without so much friction we value ourselves more.

Leave out the external electronics in your world for a week and see what wonderful things occur. Eliminate the electrical items in your bedroom alone and you will sleep much better. Stop listening to the radio while driving and you will arrive at your destination much more easily and actually calmly. The friction will decrease and the value increases. Energy can then flow more easily.

Your energy body will thank you and actually increase because you are leaving out external forces. When your energy body is more fluid your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self is more healthy and vibrant. This is one reason nature is so good for us. It’s about the energy that we are absorbing from nature but it is also about the body recouping by being un-plugged.

Value your energy and your value goes up. Learn that there are methods where you can actually master your energy.

Forget the vows to be on your diet til you reach your goal. Forget your commitments to make a commitment. Forget your resolutions. Forget setting intentions for the celebration of out with the old and in with the new.

You ask, what’s one to do for New Years?

Here’s the most healthy way to bring in the New Year and ring out the old.

Take a piece of paper write:

* everything you think you need to be forgiven for

* everything someone said that was negative about you

* the things that you didn’t get accomplished this year

* the things that you forgot – of course all you’re going to write is “all the things I forgot”

* the people that you’ve been unkind to and have been unkind to you

* all of your should haves

* all of your extra weight and the issues that are weighty

And then burn it.

Write a list that says this “I am that I am. I am doing the very best I can and if I could do better then I would be doing it. I am a more loving person today than yesterday. I am a more eco-conscious person than yesterday. I am doing something that makes a difference, loving more easily and I am sharing with others more.”

Enjoy your year!

It’s the best it’s ever been and only getting better!

Most people tend to get run down from all the pre-holiday festivities. This time of year is when the body and mind are exhausted and ready for winter rest. Rather than tax your system even more take this opportunity after the holiday rush to relax a bit and allow the energy that you’ve sent out to family, friends, loved ones create a tone of positive and sharing energy for the following year.

Here are some tips to keep your energy high and healthy after the holiday festivities:

• Take daily baths with salt and a favorite essential oil (lavender, rose, or bergamot work well to relax the muscles and mind).
• Eat more greens. After such sweet filled days your body needs the regenerative qualities of greens. If you don’t like greens then take a scoopful of supergreen food blend and drink it in your apple cider.
• Make an effort to continue giving back to your community in the form of service or donations. Giving is wonderful and can be energetically cumulative by doing so on a regular and consistent basis.
• Take plenty of water daily to keep your body regulated and releasing toxins that have accumulated.
• Take a nap and allow yourself the luxury of no television or outside stimulus. This will generate a great deal of good for your body and mind and you will feel reinvigorated.
• Walk around the block a few times each day. If it’s cold then bundle up. If you don’t like to go alone get a buddy to walk with you. Take one of your children and spend time with them walking.
• Take 2 minutes a day and just do some abdominal breathing. Learn how to use your breath to restore your body and mind by taking a meditation class.

The year end is the ideal time to restart and right before the year end gives your body and brain a boost for the coming year. Join me in giving your body, mind and spirit the refreshment it deserves and you will have the best year ever.

A zenlike December would be wonderful, don’t you think? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could get through the holiday season with less stress, worry, anxiety, tension and drama?

Zen is an inner state of being and meditation is such that it will give you the ability to create a better experience, whether it’s the holidays or it’s the rest of the year.

• Remember these things to keep your zen and sanity
• Get enough rest
• Forgive everyone, including yourself because it feels like you’re under pressure
• Pressure is only a metaphor for the need to let go
• Sugar is going to cause weight gain and more importantly a crash into depression. So plan your sugar (crash) wisely. Better yet, avoid sugar.
• Take probiotics to ensure your colon is happier because of what junk you are about to ingest.
• Drink lots and lots of high alkaline water.
• Take vitamin C, vitamin D3, calcium/magnesium in liquid and your mood will be much brighter. If you want a customized plan for what to take then contact us and we’ll advise you based on your individual health and eating program.

The most common reason women are seeking to better themselves is because they want to live “on purpose”.  Meaning they want to be in line or working to develop their purpose for being, being here and doing what they are doing.

One of the reasons that people are so unhappy in their life is that they are living out of alignment with their purpose. For example; you work as an investment banker and yet you really want to be selling custom furniture where you are the designer of some pieces. This is an actual situation from a client of mine and we identified many aspects of why she was so distraught and accident prone and that she was living out of alignment with her purpose.

The highest high and best vibration is when you live on purpose. Even if you aren’t ready to completely live your purpose it’s a good idea to get that energetic charge of doing something that is line with your purpose. And if you don’t know your purpose then that’s where you want to look up and receive the help you’ve been begging for.

Here is a tip to get to your purpose and get that vibe and energetic charge:

• My purpose is clear to me
• I am evolving toward my purpose with ease and Grace
• When I am living my purpose then I’ll feel that energy charge and recognize it, rather than ignore it.
• I am the person who is in the flow and allowing purpose to flow with me and toward me.

Let me know what your purpose is and your thoughts on how you are acting “on purpose”.

Are You Experiencing a Backlash to the “Fake It Til You Make It”

Your Energy Body Shrinks When You Lie to Yourself

When we are beginning in life or sales or something that is putting us out into the world we are often told to “Fake It Til You Make It”. While this is good it will only last so long.

The reason it only lasts so long is that our unconscious will allow us only so much give until it says “Whoa” “Hold on”. This is when the underlying issues begin to creep in.

The energy of fake til you make will get your energy body and financial body set in a way that it can sustain itself for success. When the energy body has gone as far as the combined unconscious and energy body then the unconscious takes over so that issues and energetic blocks can be resolved.

If you’ve ever gone on a delusional bender you will know what I’m talking about. Say that your best friend is doing something that is problematic to you. You’ve trained your mind to try to stay at a 5 on a scale of 1-10 because 5 is comfortable. You continue to tell yourself that it’s ok. Your energy body is actually taking a hit every single time that you’re saying it’s ok when it’s not. What this means is that the energy body shrinks every single time you lie to yourself.

The reason for this is that it’s an untruth, meaning that you are really at a 9 of the situation not being ok. Now the best way to handle this is to tell yourself the truth – the truth is it’s not ok but you’ll deal with it for now until the time arises when you can address it. If you do this then your energy body is more light, the underlying emotions are being dealt with and you’ll be close to a 6 or 7 just by this truth telling.

What you must do is resolve the underlying issue that keeps you from being ok with what your friend is doing. Those underlying issues are the gold mine of relationship beauty.

Remember the river will always find a way down even if there’s a block or obstacle. The first is to tell the truth to yourself and the second is to clear those underlying obstacles that are creating it in the first place.

SIDE NOTE: In ancient times people would study with a spiritual master to get the imprint of their energy body solid and like the master’s. This was so that you could go out into the world more freely without those obstacles being like gigantic boulders.

The moon is a time of month that often brings disruption to the energy of your mind and body and is known throughout the hospital and care-giving community as a time where strange things occur.

Every month the moon is full in the sky and that means that the energy of the moon and earth are in tandem to get a release. This release is meant to help clear issues. Those issues often crop up as tension, irritability, sleeplessness, outbursts of anger, more accidents and mental fuzziness. The reason for this is that when you are not doing some type of release work the moon is the catalyst.

We have three days before and after the full moon when we can get things straightened out through meditation and clearing work. The meditation I’ve used for over 20 years that keeps me at my happiest is based on activating the heart and crown chakra.

When the heart and crown chakras are activated (some say open, however they are always open and meditation is an activator) then the tension or friction you feel is greatly diminished. By using the heart and crown meditation you are activating your energy of love, acceptance and inner courage. If you were to use this guided meditation every day (it’s only about 15 minutes) you will feel the benefits in your mind, body and even in increase in your business.

The mystery of SEO is only a mystery because you’ve given it too much importance. When you give importance to something just because you don’t understand it is when you are creating blocks or obstacles.

Meditation seems to be just as much a mystery for most as well as SEO. Many are evolving to gain an appreciation of the need to mediate but most have yet to successfully meditate.

The reason I talk about meditation and success is that for a long long time when I was in the corporate grind I sought meditation. I was so sick that even my doctor recommended meditation. Then I found a successful meditation. It wasn’t a specific practice but it worked for me. People started asking me about how I got so calm and then I became a meditation teacher. It was the push I needed to break down what worked for me.

Here’s the deal and no it’s not the deal of the day but it is the real deal. You already meditate, now just give yourself the permission to meditate this way. Spine straight, breathe, and focus your attention only on your breath. For the real way to do this you might want to check out our books or videos and they explain the details of the benefits of Meditation in 2 Minutes.

SEO is simple a table of contents or phone book listing for your website with different ways to find you. Meditation for SEO success is this:

Listen
Attitude
Message
Power

Meditate on the solution rather than the problem. The solution is I have the most fantastic ways for people to find me for exactly what I do. The problem is I don’t know what SEO is or how to … Listen to your happy and positive inner voice and breathe several breaths. Shift your attitude from your solar plexus to your heart. Have the ability to breathe and breathe and breathe. By breathing I mean lower abdomen, middle chest and then upper chest, hold for a moment and then reverse that for optimal success. Carry the message that you are getting once you are in your heart into your website, articles etc. Give the power back to yourself that you CAN do this and that it IS easy.

Light the LAMP for your inner peace and inner voice by using the Meditate in 2 Minutes and you will have the success you richly deserve.

Lately I’ve been speaking a lot about detox and most people think that when you detox it’s only the body that detoxes. This is only the partial truth. When your body is detoxing, your mind and emotions will detox as well. It’s a good idea to have some preparation for ease of the process. Here are some simple steps below. Remember that in order for the greatest benefit you will want to have a guide help you with detoxing so that you gain deep and lasting benefit rather than just a slimmer waist for a few days.

Nutrition: The most widely produced fruit (and we treat it like a veggie), tomatoes have now been found to be good for your vascular system. Research published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research reveals that an extracted compound found in tomatoes has anti-dyslipidemic affects. Dyslipidemia is a condition caused by abnormal amounts of lipids like cholesterol or fat in the blood. Tomato, with already established benefits against prostate cancer and more, was found to enhance fatty acid oxidation, and to regulate liver lipid metabolism.

Psychology: Want a new job this year? Stand up straight. Research published in the January issue of Psychological Science indicates that a person’s posture may be a deciding factor for whether they land a coveted position, even when the person on the other side of the desk is in a more powerful role. The findings show that “posture expansiveness,” or positioning oneself in a way that opens up the body and takes space (standing tall or sitting without hunching the back or constricting the arms, for example,) actually activates a sense of power in the self, producing more powerful behaviors in a person regardless of their actual rank. Open postures also made people more active.

Heart: Spending too much leisure time in front of the TV or computer screen appears to dramatically increase the risk for heart disease.  According to research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, people who spend more than two hours in front of the screen increased their risk of developing cardiovascular disease by 125%. Exercise might not help either, but reducing the number or recreational time you spend in front of a screen is key.
