You have been instilled with a spark of divinity

The practice of Mindful contemplation is beautifully refined daily attunement, that allows one the access to the wisdom inside of your being. The innate wisdom that resides in each and every one of your trillions of cells is infinite and powerful beyond measure. I even heard it put once, that the energy in all of your cells equals 37 atomic bombs…. Holy smokes that is a lot!…. So how else can you harness that energy?

  • Electrical Perfection= Chiropractic Care
  • High Vibrational Foods
  • Restful Sleep
  • Movement & Sweat Combined
  • Positive Thoughts
  • Loving Companions

Perfect stillness allows you to see the reflection of your soul in the mirror. Try to find a quite place each and every day & dedicate at least 15 minuets to finding the wisdom that resides inside of you.

Love + Intention = Magic

Love + Intention = Magic

Day 1

Miraculous Journey

“The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart.” —Buddha
Welcome to our 21-Day Meditation Challenge, Miraculous Relationships! We are delighted and honored that you are joining us on this journey of the heart.
Miracles happen every day, and not just in remote villages or holy sites across the globe, but right here, in our own lives. If our minds are preoccupied or we’re too busy or rushed, we may not notice the miracles coming into our life, yet they are always there, like gifts waiting to be opened. Over the course of this meditation challenge, we will learn how to live each day connected to the peace of present-moment awareness. In this expanded state of awareness, we will be able to tune into the presence of miracles and see with the eyes of love.

Mindful Moment

Set one intention for your journey toward miraculous relationships. As if carefully cultivating a seed to sprout, take time each day to remember and connect with this special intention. Visualize it as a precious jewel resting in your heart. Gently shower it with love and light and, with your mind’s eye, watch it open and expand. As you travel through these next 21 days, give yourself permission to open your mind, and your heart, to all possibilities. Embrace the vision of your true self in supportive, meaningful relationships of all kinds.

Day 2

Miraculous You

“The one you are looking for is the one who is looking.” —Francis of Assisi


Today we will consider the one thing that is required for any relationship to flourish: knowing who we really are. While there is a natural tendency to find an identity in our roles in life, our personality, our work, our body, our culture, our stories of the past, and our dreams for the future, in reality, these are all temporary, external aspects of ourselves. Who we really are is eternal and unbounded. Our true self is pure love and pure spirit.
While our ego-mind may feel isolated and separate, our essential nature is whole and inextricably connected to the universe. Therefore, our journey towards miraculous relationships isn’t about searching for anything outside of ourselves: It’s about discovering that love is already within us, and expressing it in all of our relationships.

Mindful Moment

Schedule several “soul breaks” for yourself today. Start these breaks by taking a deep breath. Feel your body and notice any tension you are holding. Take another deep breath and as you exhale, let it all go. Take a moment to reflect on the tone of your recent inner dialogue, the quality of your interactions with others, and the emotions you have been experiencing along the way. Just observe what is. This exercise can be done in one or two minutes and is one way to strengthen your alignment with your true self, or soul. Your true self is infinite love and always feels safe and connected. Taking “soul breaks” each day naturally shifts your awareness of your divine, radiant nature.

Day 3

Miraculous Nature

“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” —Thich Nhat Hanh

Yesterday we began to explore the difference between our true self, which is the source of all our love and happiness, and our learned self or ego, which is the source of our fear and suffering. Although the ego has a difficult reputation, our intention isn’t to judge it or attempt to get rid of it because such efforts only intensify the drama of the ego and the struggle in our lives. Instead, we want to focus on embracing all aspects of our self, letting the healing that comes with self-acceptance work miracles in our lives.
Today we will begin to let go of self-judgment as we experience the wholeness and truth of our essential nature. We will open our hearts to ourselves and let ourselves feel the love that has been there all along.

Mindful Moment

Begin today by putting your attention on your heart. Take time to connect with and feel how much your soul wants you to know that you are loved and appreciated. Look into your own eyes and see your timelessness. See everything—the joy, sadness, compassion, playfulness, and wisdom. You contain everything. You are whole. Each time you find yourself in front of a mirror today take a moment to witness yourself. As you look deeply into your own eyes, hold all aspects of yourself in loving awareness, silently repeat these words three times, “I see you, I accept you, I love you.” Carry this practice through your day and witness your heart gently open to yourself and others.

Day 4

Miraculous Self

“Our bodies are our gardens to which our wills are gardeners.” —William Shakespeare
Today you’re invited to relax into the infinite space of your heart and let yourself receive.
Many of us were taught that it is better to give than to receive. We easily give our time, energy, and attention to our family and friends, yet we may find it difficult to receive these same things. In reality, giving and receiving are different aspects of the same flow of energy in the universe. Just as every exhalation depends upon an inhalation, the flow of love in our lives depends upon our ability to receive and to care for ourselves. As we meditate today, hold yourself in loving awareness and let your heart receive.

Mindful Moment

Today, begin a practice of daily self-care. Begin by making a list of the loving things you can do for yourself this week—then set the intention to complete one of the items on your list every day. Consider posting the list somewhere prominent or maybe schedule a daily reminder on your phone or computer. Here are a few suggestions: write down one quality you love about yourself, remember to pause and take a few deep breaths when you’re feeling stressed, take a walk or enjoy a good meal with a friend rather than grabbing a sandwich at your desk. As you give freely to yourself you’ll experience the loving awareness that is your natural state.
Day 5

Miraculous Esteem

“Most of the shadows of this life are caused by standing in one’s own sunshine.” —Ralph Waldo Emerson

Today we have a new opportunity to cleanse the lens of perception and see ourselves as we really are: completely loved and completely lovable.
Despite what you may have been conditioned to believe, there is nothing that you have to do or achieve to be worthy of love. Your true self is pure love and you are already infinitely precious exactly as you are. This awareness of who you really are connects you to your true self-esteem. This esteem is solid and unwavering. Your soul loves you unconditionally. The approval rating of your ego, in contrast, is fickle and forever shifting. Your ego may approve of your performance one day and then the next day judge you as inadequate or lacking. As we shift from identifying with our ego’s insecurities and fears, we open to the gifts of the soul. It all begins with self-awareness. Each day as we spend time in the inner quiet of meditation, our awareness will expand and awaken us to love.

Mindful Moment

Make it your practice for today to cultivate self-awareness and self-love. No matter how much you have suffered, your soul sees you as whole. When you feel out of balance, anxious, or alone, pause for a moment and take a deep breath. In the quiet moment of a pause you can assess the gentle refuge of your heart. Take a few moments to close your eyes and sit quietly, feeling your heart as a soft, warm enclosure. Let your attention settle there and rest as long as you wish.

Day 6

Miraculous Magnificence

“The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are. ” —Joseph Campbell

Today’s message and meditation celebrate the magnificence of your radiant, joyful spirit. If you could see your body as a physicist can see it, you would observe atoms or particles moving at lightning speed around vast, empty spaces. These particles aren’t material objects at all. They are fluctuations of energy and information in a huge empty space. And what is this space? It is the womb of creation, the field of all possibilities. It is the same place that nature goes to fashion a galaxy and to fashion a thought.

This field of pure potentiality is within you. It is your inner space that gives rise with amazing fertility to all of the divine qualities of the universe, including love, grace, abundance, joy, creativity, and freedom. You are a unique expression of everything in existence, and you shine with the beauty of a million stars.

Mindful Moment

There is a beautiful saying in India’s ancient Vedic tradition: “If you want to recreate the world, look at it with fresh eyes.” Today have the intention to see one thing as if for the first time. Look without the camouflage of your memories. Sometimes the hardest thing is to truly see someone we have known for a long time, such as our partner, child, or friend. We assume we know who they are, and so we stop seeing. It is also important to look at yourself as though doing so for the first time. We may assume that we know ourselves, but as we are discovering, who we are is much more than our limited ego-mind can envision. Through the eyes of your true self, take a few moments to consider how truly magnificent you really are. 

Day 7

Miraculous Being

“There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.” —AnaĂŻs Nin

Congratulations on completing our first week together! In the past few days we have discovered and experienced the infinite love and possibility that is part of our essential nature. We have seen through the disguises of our ego or self-image, uncovering the radiant beauty and joy of our true, eternal self.

In today’s meditation we will delight in the gifts of spirit. On this special guided journey, we invite you to listen to the wisdom of your heart and let your experience unfold with ease and grace.

Mindful Moment

As we prepare for today’s meditation, take a few slow, gentle breaths. Breath is the movement of spirit in its subtlest physical expression. As you breathe slowly and gently, the body relaxes, the mind finds its still point, and the stage is set for inspiration—the flowing in of spirit.

Day 8

Miraculous Spirit

“Love is the great miracle cure. Loving ourselves works miracles in our lives.” —Louise L. Hay

This week we will continue our journey of miraculous relationships by expanding our experience of love, equanimity, joy, compassion, and other divine qualities of spirit. Today our meditation will focus on choosing to be the presence of love.

Many people think of love as an emotion that comes and goes. In one moment we feel intense love and in the next we feel nothing at all. We may then become consumed by doubts about our relationships or we get caught up in an anxious search for love, striving to attract someone who will finally give us the love and approval we’ve longed for. As we’ve explored, love isn’t a capricious emotion but a state of being. It is an experience of unity with all creation. In every moment we can choose to be the presence of love and let that love guide all our words and actions. This choice will transform all of your relationships, including the one with yourself.

Mindful Movement

An essential part of learning to love yourself is to focus on being fully present and accepting of your current experience. Today take time to become more conscious of what your emotions are and how they feel in your body. Just be with your feelings with the awareness that whatever you are feeling is okay exactly as it is. This supportive gesture is like hugging and holding yourself in a loving and nurturing embrace—a practice that helps you metabolize your present experiences, promotes healing of old emotional pain, cultivates trust in yourself, and strengthens your ability to give yourself compassion and kindness.

Day 9

Miraculous Illumination

“I wish I could show you when you are lonely or in darkness the astonishing light of your own being.” -Hafiz

Today our meditation focuses on the light within each of us.  In many wisdom traditions, light represents spiritual awareness. It is a state of consciousness that illuminates darkness and allows us to see with the eyes of love and wisdom. As our awareness expands, what once seemed to be obstacles are now clearly opportunities. When we reach a state of pure awareness, we realize that there are no problems and therefore no need for solutions.

In our relationships, the expanding light of awareness allows us to share more love, compassion, laughter, and joy with everyone in our lives. As clarity dawns, we become light-hearted and stop taking ourselves so seriously. We let go of struggle and live in the flow of life.

Mindful Moment 

To cultivate the light of awareness, pay attention to the clues and evidence that miracles are unfolding in your life. Notice the unexpected opportunities that come your way, the flash of insight, a sudden feeling of peace or joy, a chance meeting, or a spontaneous creative experience. You may want to keep a list of daily miracles in your journal. Whatever we pay attention to expands in our experience, so as you focus your attention on miracles you will begin to notice more grace, happiness, and love.

Day 10

Miraculous Attraction

“You must be the change that you wish to see in the world.” —Mahatma Gandhi

 The secret of attraction is remarkably simple. It can be summarized in a single line from the Latin poet Ovid: “To be loved, be lovable.” A lovable person is natural and authentic, radiating the light of awareness and love that we explored in yesterday’s meditation. The second “secret” is one we have already discussed at length: You are already lovable. There is nothing you have to do make yourself more lovable or attractive other than to let go of any unloving thoughts that you have about yourself. That which you seek you already are.

In today’s meditation we will put our attention on the divine qualities that are closest to our heart and that we wish to attract in our relationships—including love, peace, trust, compassion, joy, passion, inspiration, thoughtfulness, and generosity.

Mindful Moment

The spiritual Law of Giving and Receiving teaches us that in order to attract or receive something in our lives, we need to give it freely and without expectation. If we want to experience more love, we need to be lavish in our own expression of love. To receive acceptance, we need to be open and accept others. Today choose one quality that you want to expand in your experience and find as many opportunities as you can to share that same quality with others.

Day 11

Miraculous Appreciation

“Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving.” —Khalil Gibran

 Today in our meditation we will experience one of the most luscious qualities of spirit: the fullness of gratitude.

When our attention is focused on the blessings in our lives, we feel connected to everything in the universe. We experience our wholeness and oneness with all creation. When our heart is filled with gratitude, we arrive fully in the present moment, letting go of our regrets about the past and concerns for the future. In this state of pure appreciation, we radiate the light of love to everyone we meet.

Mindful Moment

Today make a list of five people who have had a profound impact on your life. Choose one person and write a thank-you letter expressing gratitude for all the gifts you’ve received from him or her. If possible, deliver your gratitude letter in person—or mail it. Often the people in our lives have no idea how much help, comfort, and inspiration they have given us, and this is a wonderful opportunity to share the love in our hearts.

Day 12

 Miraculous Dynamism

“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another.” —Albert Einstein

Today in our meditation we will explore our essential energetic nature. At the deepest level, we are all powerful energetic beings. We inherently possess the ability to shift the world around us with our presence and how we project ourselves. When we walk into a room, our energetic state of being is communicated before we say a word. If we’re coming from love, everyone feels it. And if we’re feeling resentful, edgy, sad or preoccupied, everyone can feel that, too.  Silently, our energy speaks and our thoughts, feelings and intentions ripple out into the world.

Our capacity to affect others with our energy is both a gift and a responsibility. Ultimately, we have the power to choose how we show up and interact in this world. When we choose to come from compassion, peace, and unity, we become a powerful force for good and open the door to deep and rich relationships.

Mindful Moment

Today, pay attention to your energetic state. Take time to focus your awareness on how your state of being may be affecting other people. If you notice that you’re feeling prickly, irritable, or otherwise out of sorts, take a few moments to breathe deeply into your heart, sending yourself love and compassion. Acknowledge your distress without judging it, and notice how your energy shifts. Each time you pause, assess, reframe, and choose love, you are truly leading your life toward your destiny. You are opening to your infinite potential.

Day 13

Miraculous Awareness

“The quieter you become, the more you can hear.” —Ram Dass

Today, as we continue on the journey toward creating miraculous relationships, we explore one of the richest gifts we have to offer others: our undivided attention. In the enlightening stillness of meditation, we will focus on the many gifts available through listening with our ears, heart, and soul.

Consider for a moment the last time you truly felt heard. What a gift it is when another person is truly present, hearing our words as well as receiving all the unspoken messages we send through our energy, body, and nonverbal communication. Listening is a form of mindful attention that brings us fully into the present moment, where miracles can unfold in our relationships and in every area of our lives.

Mindful Moment

Set the intention to have at least one conversation today in which you truly listen with your heart and soul. Give yourself permission to pause your busy inner dialogue. Listen to the words being spoken and make the choice to listen beyond the words to receive the full spirit and potential of the message. With fresh and attentive eyes and ears, witness the miracle of the person before you, seeing them through the eyes of your heart. With this practice you invite true connection, infinite possibility, and abundant love into your life and relationships.

Day 14

Miraculous Divinity

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.” —Dalai Lama

Congratulations on completing two weeks of our challenge! By taking time each day in the inner quiet of meditation, you are cultivating the space for your relationships to flourish.

Today our meditation focuses on seeing with eyes of love. While each of us appears to be a separate individual, we are all inextricably connected at the soul level. We are all expressions of the infinite field of pure potentiality, also known as spirit, God, the universe, source, or whatever name most resonates with you. When we relate to each other from the level of ego or personality, it is easy to get caught up in the struggle for control and approval and the need to be right. But when we relate to each other from the soul level, we experience the expansion of love, joy, compassion, and harmony.

 Mindful Moment

Today send everyone you encounter a silent blessing. You may want to silently repeat the greeting of namasté: the spirit in me honors the spirit in you. Consider dedicating today to living the true spirit of namasté—giving yourself permission to internally bow to each and every person that crosses your path as you witness, honor and acknowledge the divine spirit that they are.

Day 15

Miraculous Reflection

“We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are.” —The Talmud

Today in our meditation we will explore the mirror of relationship. This is the idea that all of our relationships are a reflection of ourselves. The people we are attracted to are those who have traits that we have, only more so. We enjoy their company because we subconsciously feel that being with them will help us to cultivate and manifest those traits even more in our own lives.  In the same way, we are repelled by people who reflect back to us traits that that are difficult to face in our own selves.

The mirror of relationship is a valuable tool that we can use to see ourselves more clearly and to expand our awareness. As we become willing to embrace the light and shadow that we all possess, we bring love and healing to ourselves and our relationships.

Mindful Moment

Pay attention to the lessons that you can learn from others today. Observe your reactions to the many people who cross your path. When you can see that everyone in the world is simply sharing your own consciousness, you will lose the need to judge others and open to greater understanding and love. With each encounter you have, observe carefully and repeat these words silently to yourself, “In you I see me, in me I see you.”  Feel the compassion in your heart open and witness how the way you see the world begins to change.

Day 16

Miraculous Honor

“The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften. The world loves us when we choose to love the world.” —Marianne Williamson

When we meditate on a regular basis, we develop what is known as “witnessing awareness”—the ability to calmly and objectively observe a situation, acknowledge when we are being triggered, and consciously choose how we want to respond. Instead of feeling stuck in knee-jerk reactions and conditioned patterns of behavior, we free ourselves to make choices that will help us fulfill our deepest desires for love, fulfillment, and happiness.

In today’s meditation we will deepen our experience of witnessing awareness as we practice staying present with our emotions. So often there is a tendency to judge certain feelings as “negative” or “wrong.” We may resist feeling these emotions but this only increases our pain. Every emotion has a valuable message for us, and as we allow ourselves to feel and hold each emotion in loving awareness, our relationship with our self and with everyone in our lives will become more authentic and whole.

Mindful Moment

Today set the intention to consult your heart before you act on any emotion. Your heart is a reliable guide that helps you experience empathy, compassion, and love. The heart is the seat of emotional intelligence, and it allows you to get in touch with your true self. It nurtures all of your relationships by reminding you to see yourself in the other. See through the eye of your heart and you open the doorway to manifesting the life and relationships you most desire.

Day 17

Miraculous Communication

“Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless.” —Mother Teresa

In the yogic tradition, our ability to communicate with clarity and compassion is governed by an energy center, or chakra, located in the area of our throat.  When the energy in our throat chakra is flowing freely, we’re able to express our truth without worrying about being judged or misunderstood. We’re also able to listen with our heart, truly hearing the messages other people are sending us. When the energy of our throat chakra is congested, however, we may feel anxious about how other people will react to our views and we are likely to censor ourselves. We may also find it difficult to listen with an open heart and an open mind.

Today in our meditation together we will focus our attention on expanding the flow of energy in our throat chakra, holding the intention to communicate with clarity, compassion, and honesty.

Mindful Moment

Today we invite you to try a conscious communication practice rooted in the Buddhist tradition. Before you speak, ask yourself these four questions:  Is what I’m about to say kind? It is true? Is it necessary? Does it improve upon the silence? If you can answer yes to all four questions, then your words will resonate with authenticity and love. Consider posting these four questions somewhere you will see them each day, maybe adding them to the wallpaper on your phone. Each carefully delivered communication will provide you with abundant blessings.

Day 18

Miraculous Independence

“Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one. ” —Eleanor Roosevelt

In today’s meditation we will reflect on the beautiful truth that we are already whole. We were created by universal intelligence as a complete expression of love, wisdom, and happiness. If we feel like something is missing, it is because we are seeing through the eyes of our ego-mind, which has a limited perspective of our infinite, divine nature.

With the realization that we already have everything we need and desire, we give up the exhausting search to find that person or situation or achievement to make us feel whole. We stop waiting for someone to complete us and open to the love that is right here, right now, in our own heart.  And, from that boundless well of spirit, we are free to share the deepest experience of love with the people in our lives.

  Mindful Moment

Begin to write your own love story today by treating yourself as the most precious being in the universe. Throughout the day, ask yourself, What is the most loving thing I could do for myself right now? What is the most loving way I could treat myself? Listen to the response of your heart and follow its guidance.

Day 19

Miraculous Union

“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.” —Hermann Hesse

Today, our meditation is dedicated to sacred love and the experience of union in our relationships. As we have explored, love and spirit are the same force. At the core of every being there is only love, because the core of every being is only spirit. The two are the same—an abstract, unifying force that is all pervasive.

When we awaken to our essential loving, spiritual nature, we let go of old fears and defenses and connect with others in love. As we recognize the spirit in everyone we meet, we feel a deeper sense of peace, acceptance, and compassion. Our perspective shifts from “I” to “we,” and in this space of expanded awareness, miracles unfold.

 Mindful Moment

You are more powerful and influential than you think! Today use this influence to change the world. Take a few moments to visualize an energy pulse that is filled with love and peace for all. One way to cultivate energy is to clap your hands once and when they touch with impact begin to rub them together, back and forth. Feel and visualize the heat growing and expanding between your hands. Hold this energy ball as if it is the most precious gift you have to offer to the world in this moment. Allow your hands to separate and feel the energy grow within the space between your hands. Open your hands, sending this tangible loving intention to someone you know or to everyone in the world. Once you have offered your gift, let go, knowing that your love has already been received.

Day 20

Miraculous Forgiveness

“To be wronged is nothing, unless you continue to remember it.” —Confucius

Today our meditation and discussion focus on the gifts of forgiveness. If we want to experience loving, life-long relationships, we need to be able to let go of grievances, hostility, and anger. These feelings keep us mired in the past and weighed down with emotional pain. Ultimately, forgiveness is a gift we give to ourselves. It is an act of grace that restores the memory of wholeness.

It’s important to remember that forgiving is different from condoning an action that created pain for us or for others. Healthy relationships require healthy boundaries and are an important part of loving and honoring ourselves and each other. We can practice forgiveness even when we have chosen to discontinue a relationship due to unacceptable behavior. Sometimes we have to forgive someone many times before we finally let go of all the emotional residue of the past. Once we take steps to restore peace in our heart, we will feel a shift. We will feel lighter as we expand our capacity for love, compassion, and healing.

Mindful Moment

Is there someone in your life that you have not forgiven? In many cases, the person we most need to forgive is ourselves. Today have the intention to practice forgiveness. Encourage even the slightest hints of forgiveness, release, and compassion. If feelings of hurt and anger arise, tell yourself, I am willing to see this situation with love. I am willing to let go. Be gentle and patient with yourself as you hold the intention to heal and forgive.

Day 21

Miraculous Living

“The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still.” —A Course in Miracles

Congratulations! Today is the final day of our 21-Day Meditation Challenge and we honor your spirit and commitment to deepening your experience of love and happiness in your relationships.

By spending time each day in reflection and meditation, you have made a shift from fear to love, from ego to spirit, and from separation to unity. Perhaps you have let go of old grievances and pain and touched into the sweetness of forgiveness and gratitude. While this meditation challenge is coming to an end, the evolution of your consciousness is infinite. You have planted the seeds of intention for miraculous relationships in the fertile field of all possibilities, where they will continue to bloom and flourish in the days, months, and years to come.

In our meditation today, we will join together in celebrating the love that is already here in each one of us.

Mindful Moment

Continue to focus your attention on the presence of miracles in your life, sustaining the practice of writing in your journal about the grace, gratitude, and love that is ever flowing in abundance when we see with the eyes of spirit. Dedicate today to being in the spirit of miraculous relationships. Let your true self ripple out and bless the world with your unique and special signature vibration of love and light. Choose love. Be love. Give love—now and always.

Day 22

Miraculous World

“I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.” —Mother Teresa

Welcome to the bonus day of our 21-Day Meditation Challenge. Today we offer a special guided meditation dedicated to expanding the experience of love, peace, and well-being for all beings everywhere.

At the deepest level, we are all energetic, spiritual beings, inextricably connected to everyone and everything. As we focus our attention on the expansion of love, compassion, and equanimity, the light of our awareness will radiate out into the universe, elevating the collective consciousness of the world.

Mindful Moment

Today as you enter the stillness and silence of meditation, hold the intention that everyone in the world is experiencing love, wholeness, and peace in their heart. Visualize each person on our planet receiving your loving intention. Connect with and trust your inner knowing that as you send healing thoughts to yourself and others, that vibration travels out into the world and makes a difference. Know today that you have a vital role in the collective experience of our people, that you can change the world one meditation, one loving moment at a time.

Celestial Events and Stars… Set Your Intention Style

“Alchemists called the imagination a celestial or super celestial star because of its ability to shed light on, transform and transcend the fetters of existence.”

Use your Imagination... INNATE in action

Use your Imagination… Where will it take you?…INNATE in action

Finding Your Purpose… Set Your Intention Style

Intention is born out of purpose. You see, purpose is a overwhelming knowing of where you are supposed to be concentrating your energies. When you have purpose all the energies of the cosmos support and guide you to fulfill that purpose. When purpose is realized then INTENTION is born.

Purpose |ˈpərpəs| noun-the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists:verb-have as one’s intention or objective:

So ask yourself what is my PURPOSE?…. This can relate to anything. Something as small as what you are nourishing your body with, or something as great as how you are contributing to the world. Once you find your purpose then your intention takes over. Your intention is the juice that helps to fulfill your purpose.

When I started setting my intention for my thoughts and actions I found that perfect coincidences ‘just happened’ everywhere. Almost as if my INTENTION was a magic unicorn. The cosmos now had the play book and was supporting my purpose. Love That!!!

So over the next week try this….

  • Ask your self what your purpose is in all situations.
  • Then Set Your Intention…
  • Watch the perfect coincidences
  • Continue…. It really is that easy!
"Research suggests that you could be living up to seven good years longer. People who know why they wake up in the morning, what their life purpose is, live longer, better lives."

“Research suggests that you could be living up to seven good years longer. People who know why they wake up in the morning, what their life purpose is, live longer, better lives.”

Mindful Moment- Set Your Intention Style….

I just love this! I am doing Deepak’s 21 day meditation challenge. Yes, right now and it is free! We are on day 4 and his words on self-care are just too perfect.

Today happens to be one of my self-care days. Like most of my days….Let me walk you through the ways I have loved myself today

  • Prepared organic veggies with love
  • Told and showed love to my babies… Yes, I sang this song to them
  • Did Pilates to get my body sweating & moving
  • Got a 1.5 hour BioMat massage
  • Popped open a young coconut and hydrated like a CHAMP!
  • Meditated with Deepak
  • Napped for 10 min afterward
  • And now I think I will make a Green Smoothie and go to the beach:)
  • Later I will prepare more organic goodness

Below is a beautiful reminder on how to make yourself accountable for your own self-care. Please start taking AMAZING CARE of yourself!!!

MINDFUL MOMENT

“Today, begin a practice of daily self-care. Begin by making a list of the loving things you can do for yourself this week—then set the intention to complete one of the items on your list every day. Consider posting the list somewhere prominent or maybe schedule a daily reminder on your phone or computer. Here are a few suggestions: write down one quality you love about yourself, remember to pause and take a few deep breaths when you’re feeling stressed, take a walk or enjoy a good meal with a friend rather than grabbing a sandwich at your desk. As you give freely to yourself you’ll experience the loving awareness that is your natural state.”

Be Realistic... Expect Miracles :)

Meditation…Set Your Intention Style

How anyone chooses to set their intention is totally a unique process. Some can just take a moment, some chant, some dance, some pray, and others may need a bit of decompression before they can access their intentional genius.
For me I usually need a bit of decompression, quiet & movement coupled with some sweat. These simple yet profound practices allow me to listen to my internal genius. Either that or my genius just gets a bit louder so I can here her 🙂

Walk a Labyrinth... to find quiet in an active meditation.

Walk a Labyrinth… to find quiet in an active meditation.

  1. Decompression…Breathwork is helpful for this so is Nature Appreciation
  2. Quiet….. So hard to find yet vital to a clear INTENTION
  3. Movement…helps you access your cosmic birthright that is your cellular wisdom
  4. Add a little or a lot of sweat and you have INTENTIONAL PERFECTION
  • Find a quiet place to sit or lie down
  • Place your hands palm up in your lap
  • Close eyes or focus your eyes on one point
  • Breathe in to the count of 4 & out to the count of 4
  • Quiet your mind by focusing only on your breath
  • Continue until you feel satisfied…
  • There is no wrong way
  • ENJOY 🙂

Conscious Manifestation… Intention Style :)

So how does this Intention thing work?

The power behind your thoughts and beliefs are what create your actions. Your actions and beliefs are what create your present and future time results. These results are your experience.

  1. Think about what you want to create in your experience. ( love life, family, job, friendships, faith, etc)
  2. Set Your Intention
  3. Act as though….
  4. Repeat Daily

These 4 simple steps are something that most people just never seem to do. They are so simple yet over looked. Our society and access to mental disruptors ( sounds, technologies, people) are always breaking our consistent mental energies. When we have a fleeting thought or stroke of genius it is often swallowed up by the din of loudness that covers our day to day lives.

When you take time to consciously ‘Set Your Intention’ daily or even many times a day, you harness the strength of your mind. Then you will just watch your world unfold in the manner in which you intended….

It really is that easy!

Use the power of your INTENTION

My Intention is to Smile…

My Intention is to Smile More… 

Greet a stranger with a smile. Smile at yourself in the mirror. However you do it, smiling just makes you feel better. I think that it even conserves energy because you use fewer muscles to smile than you do to frown. Happy people enjoy higher immunity, higher life satisfaction and longer lives. So what is holding you back…. SMILE!

Add years to your life... Smile

A recent study was done and it found that people who woke up to the sight of fresh flowers in the morning enjoyed an increase of serotonin. They were happier, more optimistic and had more energy throughout the day. All that just from viewing pretty flowers! I don’t know about you but I am going to go out right now and get an orchid or two. These amazing flowers can last up to 3-4 months and they also re-bloom easily. I don’t know of any mood med that can challenge the sight of a beautiful flower!

So smile, join an orchid of the month club, jump up and down on a pogo stick, take a yoga class, whatever it takes.

I suppose my true intention is to live a happier, longer and more healthy life…. And all that starts with a smile!

Live Better , Smile More, Love – Me

Intention is Everything

How To Find Your Sweet Spot

So I have been practicing yoga for many years now and at the beginining of every class and every self practice I am prompted to “Set Your Intention”. This was a bit daunting when I was more of a novice yoga practitioner. But the more evolved that my yoga practice became the more that I realized how important this simple cue was. Now when I practice, my intention, and post practice blissful headspace is so much more important than what the person next to me is doing.
When I created ‘Set Your Intention’ I was looking for a way to remind myself throughout my practice to come back to my original intent. So I found the perfect sacred geometrical design that always seemed to speak to me and placed it as a sort of bindi at the top of my mat. Do you know what happened? My practice deepened and my world started to shift all toward my intentions!
So now I want to share ‘Set Your Intention’ with the world. I believe that this simple yet profound centering tool can help people to change their lives. My vision is to have a ‘Set Your Intention’ on every yoga mat all across the globe.

How To Use

  • Place ‘Set Your Intention’ Sweet Spot ,on any clean, dry surface. I have mine everywhere, my yoga mats, my phone, my office, etc.
  • If placing on a yoga mat make sure to let it lay flat for 24 hours before rolling. Also I roll mine on the inside.
  • Whenever you want to, concentrate on whatever you would like to create or intend in your life or for other people.
  • Remember that intentions are powerful and ever shifting so be open to anything.
  • ‘Set Your Intention’ Sweet Spot is a semi-permenent concentration and profound meditation tool.

    Here is a ‘Sweet Spot’ at the top , center of my Manduka yoga mat.
