It’s not easy remaining calm in the center of a storm raging around you. When fear or chaos arrive and you feel yourself spinning out with anxiety, you have the power to choose to respond rather than react.

It provides time, space, and a break from the situation to gain healthy detachment. When you push the pause button, you step back, take some deep breaths, drop into your heart … [Read more...]
We Are In an Evolution of Love
We are in the midst of an evolution of love. We have the opportunity to open our hearts more than ever before, and experience love in ways we may not have been capable of in the past.

Knowing that we are love will heal us in such a profound way that we will become conduits for the expression of love with ourselves, loved ones, and the world. And, since unity and duality coexist, it is … [Read more...]
Self-Love: The Key to Transforming Our Relationships and the World
By loving yourself wholeheartedly, you can change the world. You become a conduit for love when you fully embrace and express your true nature—which is, and has always been, love.

6 Ways to Release Energy Blocks to Self-Love
“Let love be the light that leads you home” ~ Emmanuel Dagher Releasing energy blocks opens us to self-love, and is an essential practice in being love.

When you harbor resentment, worry excessively, become angry, or feel stressed, you block the flow of energy in your body … [Read more...]

The Message in the Miracle: Healing Old Wounds
Last Tuesday morning I was excited to open my e-mail anticipating further instructions for a women’s empowerment summit I was invited to do and had previously been a part of. I had talked with the host’s virtual assistant just the day before and was looking forward to the interview that we scheduled with her. But when I read the e-mail, my heart sunk. The note said that my e-mail list size was too small to meet their requirements and for that reason I would no longer be included in the summit. I still struggle with the masculine business model that many in the industry use that puts ‘numbers’ over relationships or wisdom. Tears filled my … [Read more...]

Let Go of Fear and Just Trust
Letting go is one of the most important, yet most difficult spiritual principles that we need to incorporate into our lives. Too often we brace ourselves for change instead of letting go and embracing change as an opportunity for our personal transformation.

Letting go takes an open heart, expanded awareness, a grand sense of humor and a conscious practice to move through fear. It also requires surrounding ourselves with loving people and environments that support us releasing what is necessary in a healthy and … [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...]
