Have you ever considered the extent to which you believe? Believing is not the same as knowing. Read about how the universe guided me to differentiate between the two, eventually cultivate the latter, and six tips to help you to do the same in my latest article, 6 Ways to Shift from Believing to Knowing, just published by Spirituality & Health magazine.
We have all experienced change at many points in our lives. Some of us embrace the process of change, while others look for any excuse to change as little as possible. You likely know which group you belong to.
As for me, I’m generally fairly adaptable to externally imposed change. When it comes to self-initiated change, I tend to avoid it for as long as I possibly can before I eventually give in to my intuition and make a change that turns my world upside down. Both types of change almost always lead to significant growth.
The pandemic has imposed an inordinate amount of change upon us. We’ve all been conditioned to live differently.
Since March 2020, I’ve been fortunate to continue practicing yoga with one of New York City’s master yoga instructors, Hollis Lewis. I do this over Zoom. Practicing yoga in the narrow space between my bed and closet with only a virtual sense of community for over two years has added an element of restriction to my practice. Human beings are incredibly adaptive creatures. I adapted to this restriction.
Yesterday, a friend invited me to join him at my first in-person yoga class in over two years. Wearing my nicer yoga wear, meeting new neighbors, and relating face-to-face with the instructor, Derric Harris, reminded me how high in-person yoga classes (and everything else!) can make you feel. For the remainder of the day, I felt like I was floating.
To open the class, Derric shared some wisdom that greatly resonated with me. He called our attention to the fact that, “Letting go is hard, but holding on is harder.”
So much of life is about letting go and embracing change.
I was fortunate not to have lost a loved one, significant relationship, or job during the pandemic. However, there are many nuances to loss. My work has become virtual. Many of my friends have moved away. My neighborhood gym, yoga studio, meditation center, vegan café, coffee shop, dry cleaner, tailor, and favorite boutique, restaurant, and bar are all gone. My long-term relationships with their proprietors and staff went with them. The bricks and mortar of the New York Open Center and Edgar Cayce’s Association for Research & Enlightenment, both places where I would take classes, attend events, and enjoy the community, have also departed. I feel the void.
As I think about all of these changes and Deric’s message, I’m reminded that life is finite. The best thing I can do is mourn the life that’s gone, let go of it, and look forward to the new adventures that are coming. Those of you who feel similarly may benefit from revisiting my article previously published by Spirituality & Health magazine, “Why Change is Difficult for Us (and Ways to Overcome It)”.
My clients make me intimately aware that so many people are going through a significant change right now — and that recreating our lives is doable and fun.
If you’re facing change in your life at this moment, here’s an affirmation:
I’m exactly where I’m meant to be right now.
I hope this brings you peace.
Spring is the season nature revives and regenerates. Flowers bloom, and human beings respond to this energy similarly.
Did you know that in addition to lifting our mood, flowers also have the power to heal the emotional imbalances we all develop as a part of being human? Flower essences, infusions of the vibrational qualities of flowers, are included in the emerging field of energy medicine. They carry an energetic frequency which can restore emotional imbalances.
As a certified Bach flower essence practitioner and intuitive, I frequently prescribe flower essences to my coaching clients. I’m able to determine exactly which of the 38 flower essences in Dr. Bach’s system your body is calling for.
For the month of May, I’m giving away a FREE 30-minute virtual flower essence therapy session to each of the first five people who sign-up.
Why is balancing your emotional states important? Your mental, physical, and emotional bodies are interconnected. Since ancient times, healers have believed that physical manifestations of disease have their root in emotional imbalances.
Today, many of us are not the same people we were when we rang in 2020. Our priorities have changed and we have revised, are revising, or want to revise the blueprint that previously directed us. These processes come with emotional challenges that can often lead to physical symptoms.
Flower essences (applied to the skin or ingested) are completely safe and have no side-effects or contraindications with medications. They can help you to balance emotions such as:
To learn more about flower essences, Dr. Bach, and my journey with this ancient healing modality, read my article published last year, Five Tips to Support Change with Flower Essence Therapy.
I believe that human beings should thrive, not just survive. Emotional imbalances cause energetic blocks. When you release these constraints, you feel better holistically and are more able to express your potential. Isn’t this what life is about? 😉
As a holistic life & wellness coach, I’m a transformation agent helping you to attain greater holistic health and fulfillment in your life.
Holistic health requires enhancing your mental, physical, and emotional energy bodies. To do this, you will want to evaluate and possibly refine several critical aspects of your life — mindfulness, health, home, relationships, personal growth, mindset, finances, and career & purpose.
I have designed a Wheel of Life (“Wheel”) to support you in this effort. This self-assessment tool will help to clarify where you stand with respect to your holistic wellness.
We sometimes push realizations that would require disruption of our existing patterns to our subconscious mind. To make effective changes in your life, you must also engage your subconscious. Research shows that visuals transmit messages to your subconscious mind more powerfully than words. Creating your Wheel will help your subconscious mind to communicate your priorities to your conscious mind.
I invite you to map out your Wheel. You will see below that each piece of this “holistic pie” has gradations. Please rate each area from 0 – 10. Then connect all of the dots with a line that will form a circle (of sorts). Ideally, you want your wheel to be round. But, no one has a round wheel. 😉
Which aspects of your life feel satisfying and which aspects not so much? What changes do you want to stop waiting for? Do you feel equipped to transform these areas? Or, could you use some support, intuitive guidance, and access to carefully curated and effective modalities that will help you to move forward?
It’s already March. Don’t let 2022 be another year of limited potential. I can help you to balance a lopsided or small Wheel. Are you with me?
