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...]
3 Ways to Be Unshakable in Uncertain Times
“Making things happen in your life, requires a faith or an ability, to believe that is unshakable, regardless of circumstances.” ― Les Brown Spiritual resilience is the key to joy, happiness, and being unshakable during these uncertain times. It moves you from feeling uncertain about what’s happening in your life to handling challenging situations with trust rather than fear and trepidation. It gives you the strength not only to rise above adversity, but to use it as a springboard for personal transformation. Most of all, it makes the difference between merely surviving or thriving. You live in a quantum universe of unlimited … [Read more...]
5 Sacred Strategies to Move from Stuckness to Inner Freedom
In every moment, we have a choice to move forward or remain stuck. When we feel stuck, it feels as if the same old things are repeating themselves or we’re just going through the motions. “Stuckness” is a state of paralysis where you feel unable to make a change. This sense of stuckness is at pandemic levels right now. As a collective, we are suffering from anxiety, depression, and hopelessness more than ever before. Most of us crave change and want to be free from suffering, but we don’t know how to create such freedom. Above all, we will continue to perpetuate these negative patterns, conditioning, and beliefs unless we do the … [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...]

5 Daily Forgiveness Practices to Release Your Pain
Forgiveness is the ultimate release; the greatest gift you can give yourself and others. By forgiving and releasing any negative energy, you transform judgment into acceptance and make the past powerless over your life.

Above all, the more you forgive yourself the easier it is to forgive others. To forgive takes an open heart, loving-compassion, and a healthy detachment from any outcome.

Holding the Space in Love for a Miracle
“Where love is present, there are always miracles.” Dr. Debra Reble On a typical gray winter day in Cleveland, I sat on the edge of the examining table in my oncologist’s office, gazing out the window and trying to soothe the terror that was rising within me. It was just yesterday that I was planning our spring vacation to New York City, driving my daughter to middle school, and sending care packages to my son at college. It was just last week that I committed to finishing my first book. It was just six years ago that I left an unhealthy marriage, met the love of my life, and married him in a romantic ceremony in Florence, … [Read more...]
Take Your Power Back by Choosing to Respond
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 every choice we make brings us closer to our dreams or away from them. Such choices either align with our soul’s path or not. Yet, the most important choice we can make every day is to respond rather than react to whatever comes into our lives. How many times have you said to yourself? “I don’t have a choice.” For example, you may feel you can’t decline a family invitation, say no to a friend, or tell your boss you’re … [Read more...]
5 Ways to Elevate Your Resolutions to Soul Intentions
Resolutions attract a fixed, limited, and lower vibrational energy because they originate from your brain. Instead of being gentle guides, they are dictates for what you "should” change, do, or accomplish. Resolutions come from a negative belief that there’s something wrong with you that needs to be fixed. “Soul”utions, on the other hand, are intentions that start with your innate divinity and elevate it to a higher, more evolved soul level. They are completely aligned with your soul’s path. These intentions originate from your heart and soul blueprint. They are divinely downloaded and stem from a divine energy that knows there’s nothing … [Read more...]
