Until we allow ourselves time alone to lean into our anxiety and release our pain, we may not even realize that our bodies, especially our autonomic nervous systems, hold on to pain. For example, we may have parts of our body that are numb, shallow breathing, or a nervous system in a constant state of anxiety. Leaning in to our anxiety loosens the vice grip our brains have on our thoughts. In order to heal, we have to expose those negative thoughts, worries, and wounds to the light, and reveal all the ways we’ve been striving to protect them and keep them hidden from sight. Our physical and emotional reactions are flags which alert us to … [Read more...]
The Power of Having a Soul Team Around You
“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you’ve imagined.” – Henry David Thoreau To support our own transformation, we must invite into our lives an energetic support team-people who love us unconditionally, without judging, enabling, or interfering with our choices. Such an energetic support team, or Soul Team, consists of kindred spirits who encourage the full expression of our true being rather than our ego-driven identity or the roles we play to survive in the world. As such, they motivate us to let go, follow our hearts and co-create a more fulfilling future. When building our Soul Team, we sometimes realize that … [Read more...]
From Falling in Love to Flowing in Love
When we fall in love, we get a glimpse of our lover’s soul. When we flow in love, all impediments fall away, and their soul is all we see. To fall in love is magical; to flow in love is mystical. When we flow in love with a partner, we engage in the ultimate dance of soul-hearted partnership, sharing our joy, passion, and exuberance for life. The unceasing flow of love that we exude affects how we wake up in the morning, carry ourselves, handle disappointment, give and receive love, and sustain our soul connection. Flowing in love with a partner takes a harmonious balance of giving and receiving love without expectations or conditions. … [Read more...]
Are You Taking Responsibility for Co-Creating Your Life?
In co-creating our reality, we have to accept responsibility for our thoughts, words, and choices in life. That is, we have to be “response-able”― able to respond to events, situations, and people in our lives, instead of reacting to them. It also means becoming consciously aware of our fears, beliefs, and patterns that block the manifestation of our intentions. And to co-create the life we truly want, we must compassionately let go of all that is not in alignment with our soul’s journey. Unfortunately, many of us try to shift the burden of responsibility for our spiritual awakening onto others and don’t acknowledge the innate power we have … [Read more...]
Are You a Love Ambassador? Here are the Signs You Could Be.
People who live in the flow of love are love ambassadors. They aren’t saints, prophets, or gurus maintaining an austere and monastic lifestyle. Quite the opposite, they are people like us. They usually go unnoticed until you realize how happy, joyful, and peaceful they are, even in the midst of life’s messiness. When you engage in a conversation with them, you see how positive and present they are compared to most people living at lower levels of spiritual awareness. Here are eleven energetic signs you may be a love ambassador: Love ambassadors are connected to a field of divine energy that emanates from them. They consciously plug into … [Read more...]
Peeling Away the Layers of Old Patterns to Reveal Your Inner Light
Personal transformation requires that we continuously peel away our layers. Like an onion or the Turkish pastry baklava, with its fragile phyllo dough layers, the subtle layers of our patterns must be peeled away on an ongoing basis. In fact, we generate life experiences that reveal the next layer of a pattern to peel away, a process that occurs throughout our lives and is essential to our physical, emotional, and spiritual growth. Using conscious awareness to recognize the layers of our patterns gives us the power to step outside of any situation, no matter how difficult or uncomfortable, and release our destructive reactions. This healthy … [Read more...]
Inviting in Love and Connection During Difficult Times
“You have to love yourself because no amount of love from others is enough to fill the yearning that your soul requires from you.” ~ Dodinsky Inviting love into our lives allows us to experience our sacred connection to others and to humanity as a whole. When we are born, we temporarily forget our divine magnificence; consequently, we spend much of our lives trying to remember who we are. Before we uncover that remembrance, we spend much of our time and energy seeking out the inner connection which we crave on a soul level without even really understanding why. In other words, even before we remember what love really is, and where it comes … [Read more...]
7 Steps to Bless and Release a Relationship with Love

Your Greatest Gift of Love is Your Presence
The primary element in love is our divine presence. When we are truly present with another person, not distracted or guarded, we open a portal of loving energy that facilitates communication and healing. Presence is having the conscious awareness of what’s happening moment to moment without being caught up in your own thoughts. Looking deeply into another person’s eyes, giving them our undivided attention, and listening with an open heart are all elements of being present. Our divine presence, more than any other aspect of love, answers the basic connection question, “Is that person there for me?” It is in this sacred space of presence that … [Read more...]
The Law of Attraction: Are You Radiating Love or Fear?
“There is a force in the universe which if we permit it will flow through us and produce miraculous results.” — Mahatma Gandhi To support the global transformation to universal love, we must first transform ourselves and our relationships. We can do this by raising our consciousness to the vibration of love and radiating it at every moment to all of life with no expectations or attachments. This involves being responsible for our choices, healing ourselves, helping others heal, and living consciously and harmoniously. We radiate love when we open our hearts to ourselves, other people, and life itself. Energetically, light moves through … [Read more...]
