Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny. ~Gandhi
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. ~Wayne Dyer Wouldn’t it be nice, if somewhere inside you there were an abundance switch that you could turn on, like a light switch, just when you need it?

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.

Are you running low on juice? Could you use a higher grade of octane? If you need more energy than you have available it could be an indicator that you’re due for some revitalization. If you’re feeling worn down you may have a demand on your energy that is calling for an upgrade.
Have you ever taken the time to capture the ongoing commentary about money, or the lack thereof, that reverberates through your inner world on an ongoing basis? Many of the beliefs that run your world can sometimes be found just below your level of awareness. Others, however, you will easily find to be your familiar friends. They pop up every so often, masquerading as reasons why you can’t do ‘x’ or try ‘y.’
Wherever you go, there you are. There’s no escaping it - your world is a reflection of you and if the view in your mirror doesn’t elicit a certain spark perhaps it’s time to question the underlying assumptions. As someone who has worked intensely with the body – as a ...
Want to instantly upgrade your energy? Go where there are concentrated doses of goodness! 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. There’s no better way to soak up and revel in the abundance that Life has on display than to immerse yourself – body, mind and spirit – in the wonder and awe inspiring richness all around you. Here are seven spots, sure to inspire and incite the grace of gratitude:
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 ...
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.
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:
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.
It’s hard to avoid the ‘reality’ of the need for cash flow, right? I mean you need to have a home and food and pay your utility bills. Then there’s the car and the cable and the kids activities. It’s not really surprising that a lot of your activities, and a lot of your energy, are locked up in ‘making money.’ Ostensibly, to eventually make the life you ‘really’ want.
Are you investing your time and energy in social media and not reaping the rewards you hear everyone talking about: clients, connections and income? Well the reason might be that your connection skills are primed for an upgrade.
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:
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!
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.
Have you ever dreamed of being an author?

Whether it’s 12 Step Program, Weight Watchers, or Jenny Craig, the power to achieve in a group what is difficult to accomplish individually, is impossible to deny. This is the principle of a Mastermind Group and successful Conscious Entrepreneurs know that they are essential to turbo charge business growth and profitability. Mastermind Groups create a synergy of energy, commitment and excitement. The beauty of Mastermind Groups is that participants raise the bar by helping each other implement goals, brainstorm ideas, create solutions, and offer mutual support.
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?
Ever wonder how to flip the switch from 3D human to transformative energy agent? Who you are being dictates the spectrum of potential and possibility that is available to you in any given moment. How you view the world is filtered through the lens of your level of engagement. These levels of engagement are a device, a transformative tool, for your own dynamic engagement of what’s true. They are not set in stone. They are not a truth! They are merely a tool to shift your being.<p.
Ever wonder about the practically accessible elements that factor into your available energy? Some of these seem so obvious, and yet, minute changes can create huge shifts in the amount of energy available to you:
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
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.
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.
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?
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.
Ever have one of those days when you’re just dragging and you can’t quite spark up much energy for even the most mundane activity? Whether it’s lethargy in your body or just a fuzzy-headed feeling, here are six quick energy amplifiers: 1. Peppermint Essential Oil To experience a quick burst of energy put 2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil on your tongue (don’t touch the bottle to your tongue) and let it mix with your saliva. This is especially useful if alertness is key. Your brain will perk up instantly. It’s especially good for studying.
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
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.
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
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 ...
Are you playing it safe or are you following the cadence of your own authentic voice? In a world that is full of noise, boatloads of information and so much to do, it can seem like an almost insurmountable adventure to explore the unique path of your own contribution. However, if you’re a change agent, your authentic voice is like a siren song. No matter how much surface disruption there may be, your inner voice surreptitiously arises and leads you by the heart, risking the path less traveled.
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.
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.
Identify the most important things that ever happened to you from as far back as you can remember. Transport yourself to that moment in time and recall how these incidents felt. Record the minutest details. - Write about food – the taste, memories, or experiences associated with 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.
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 ...
My journey with fitness and my body started when I was about nine years old and came across an issue of Cosmopolitan magazine. I remember thinking how utterly perfect the models were and how I longed to look just so! Well, for a Cuban girl with hips and thighs, that is a hell of a goal. I ...
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 ...
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. The truth is that my life has always been cycles of change, chaos and high powered energy. There's always been a clarion call to something ...
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 ...
Why am I here? It’s an age old question and if we explore the possibility that our questions lead us to the core of our raison d’être, why does the obviousness of the inevitable answer elude us. Is it incredulous to believe that we are here to have joy and to create deliciously? I know that my ...
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.
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.
One of the most intensive playgrounds of transformation is the shifting from outer to inner vision. It’s one thing to be at a workshop, retreat or course and experience yourself as an open and vibrant being. It’s quite another to BE the open spaciousness and vibrancy of transformation once you get back home and in your own world. This leadership in consciousness is at the core of personal and planetary transformation. It requires a shifting from ‘apparent reality’ to ‘vibrant reality.’
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!
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
