Healing our pain, limiting beliefs, and unhealthy patterns requires that we continuously peel away the layers. Like the Turkish pastry baklava, with its fragile phyllo dough layers, the subtle layers of our patterns must be peeled away on a continuous basis. Often, we unconsciously create 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 spiritual growth. This healthy clearing process is like skin sloughing off dead cells that accumulate and block the growth of new cells. Animals, birds, and plants also move through a regenerative clearing … [Read more...]
The Power of Choosing to Respond to Life Instead of React
It’s not always easy to respond when life comes at you especially when there’s so much chaos and unpredictability in the world. You may feel like you are powerless when it comes to health, financial, or relationship issues. Yet, you can take your power back by choosing to respond to life. Being responsible, “able to respond,” gives you the power to be the co-creator of your life and not the victim of your circumstances. Our lives are made of up of a series of choices everyday----whether or not we get out of bed, what we eat during the day, how we spend our time, whether to continue with a relationship, or what we do for a career. Each and … [Read more...]

4 Ways to Transcend Fear and Negativity & Shift to Love
Transcending fear and negativity can be challenging when we are constantly bombarded with negative words, messages, and images. Yet, we can lift out of this toxicity by connecting to a higher power or divine source (whatever that means to us) through our hearts. Many of us feel adrift and detached, having lost our spiritual compass and any kind of higher guidance. We may wander aimlessly through life, waiting for something to fill the spiritual void we experience. Thus, we try to shift the burden of responsibility for our spiritual awakening onto others and do not acknowledge the innate power we have to create it for ourselves. From the … [Read more...]

When we open our heart, we access this window of information about our soul’s journey. Information flows vibrationally through the heart’s pathways guiding us and inspiring our personal transformation. For example, when we are … [Read more...]
5 Sacred Steps to Practice Compassionate Detachment When Things Fall Apart
“A truly compassionate attitude toward others does not change even if they behave negatively or hurt you.” ~His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama All our relationships are energetic exchanges—opportunities to become a conduit for loving-compassion. In such turbulent times, however, it’s important that we practice compassionate detachment more than ever. For many of us who are highly sensitive, it’s not easy being so open to the multitude of needs and energies of others. Like sponges, our energy fields are porous and prone to soak up these energies. Because we take in the build-up of energies from others and the world, we often feel … [Read more...]
4 Ways to Be of Service During Caregiving Without Losing Yourself
"A true caregiver opens her heart compassionately and emits a positive flow of energy with others without suffering with them." ~ Dr. Debra Reble Even with all the strides women have made, we are still discovering how to be of service without losing ourselves. We tend to lose our sense of self in relationships while focusing on our partner or family. Most of all, we often forget that we are whole and worthwhile apart from the “caretaker” roles we play. Like many women, I’ve been a “caretaker” most of my life. Yet, it’s only been recently that I’ve become a “caregiver.” I’ve discovered that there’s a difference between the two. As a … [Read more...]
