When stepping into a bigger aspect of ourselves and our lives, it’s natural to experience a push back! We do this because our limited self wants us to stay comfortable and “safe.” (even when its a no longer workable situation!)

The reality is and has always been, there is nothing safe or enjoyable about staying the same.
The JUICE comes from believing in ourselves and going for it!

I’d like to share a personal and practical example from my own life how moving past resistance can lead to your Brilliance….it’s the process I went through when deciding to move to from an island life to the big city of Austin, TX.

While walking along the seashore about 6 months ago, a quote came to mind If you want to discover new oceans, you have to learn to leave sight of the shore. My own coach had been encouraging me to go on a vision quest of sorts…to step out of my comfort zone and get in touch with my bigger vision, and right away I “got to feeling” out of sorts, low on energy, stuffed head and nose–‘allerigic’.

I am aware enough to know I was in resistance. Resistance is what stands between the life you live and the unlived life within you. You see, on a deeper level, I knew something was needing to change in my life, something big like a move of residence, but I did not want to think about leaving my comfort zone of living on the island and enjoying a quiet, simple life.

Once I faced my fear, felt my way through it, and accepted my next step, all those physical symptoms subsided, and a new sense of self and a burst of energy became activated. Now, I know it was a natural step into taking my message of Everyday Enlightenment to a much bigger audience.

You see, when going through a major transition (divorce, career change, move, financial challenge, living your PURPOSE) it is common to be in a state of negative emotional and mental overload that makes it difficult to think clearly and make wise decisions.

However, the stress that you are experiencing is the perfect prescription to evolve your soul—if you choose to see the blessing in the chaos and confusion. You can learn new skills that are built upon a spiritual foundation and learn to access the wisdom of your own soul which will empower you to recreate your reality based on what you really desire.

The great news is that the stress and resistance dissolves when you surrender to your higher purpose and allow your SOUL to lead you.

Coaching shines a light on all of your beautiful, magnificent, and amazing qualities that reflect your true self and helps you to move through the resistance, doubts, and fears that are blocking your PATH.

According to the spiritual science of Akram Vignan, the meaning of ‘selfless’ is to live one’s life for the sole purpose of serving others, by whatever means one can and according to one’s skill set and ability; and to do so without expecting anything whatsoever in return. Param Pujya Dadashri, the founder of Akram Vignan, makes us understand how every living being’s life should be, through an illustration of the tree: “Do any of the fruit trees eat their own frui

Worrying that your money will be used up cannot preoccupy you. Whatever money is spent is fine. The spending of money is encouraged because it destroys your greed and allows you to keep giving. Upyoga is awareness. When you do something auspicious or give to charity, give with the awareness and intent that others will benefit from your donation. Give anonymously in order to avoid fame. That is called giving with awareness! That is called upyoga. There are some people who refu
