Last week I connected to one of my past lives when I was a native Shaman. This wasn’t a surprise to me because I’ve had many lives as a shaman, my work is very shamanic, and I was born into a lineage of shamans. But what was surprising to me was what I saw. Specifically what I did NOT do in that life that I’ve since carried into this life to be healed in myself and in my clients.
Read MoreI am just back from a trip to Mexico where I was vacationing and also hosting a workshop. I'm in celebration mode regarding the incredible results my clients are experiencing as individuals and couples. I want to share the good news with you so that you can feel the hope that it's possible for you too!
Here's a recent experience I had with a client: “I just achieved my 7 year goals!” My client in my Ultimate Woman Program said to me, smiling proudly on the screen.
In this blog I share about the process of death and rebirth and how it is all for your greatest becoming as well as my TOP 2021 New Years Advice to make this year your best year yet! Enjoy!
Read MoreSince Friday I have been evacuated from my beautiful home in Topanga. As the fires continue in Los Angeles, it’s unclear when I’ll return. Despite being displaced from home it has been a rich time filled with lessons and a deepening of community. It was frightening to wake up without electricity and cell phone service. I packed a bag, grabbed the most important things and drove out of the canyon. When I saw the smoke coming over the mountain I gasped.
Read MoreOne aspect of personal development is about taking responsibility for our life and actions. It’s also about opening our minds and hearts to other ways of thinking, living and being. Each one of us is a product of the family we were born into, as well as the culture and city we grew up in. Education, jobs and life experience also play a role in how we view the world. What seems normal to one person could be totally foreign to another. Who’s to say who’s right and who’s wrong?
Read MoreI love to dance. Dance is my medicine. It’s therapy. Food for our soul. It’s something we humans have done since the beginning of time. It’s written in our DNA. What happened to this lost art that allows us to embody our prayers, let go of tension and stress and release what is no longer serving us? Why have people stopped moving to the drum when it’s a natural antidepressant and teaches us about relating with ourselves and others?
Read MoreI just concluded a three month experience in Damanhur where I entered into a deep, intimate space of presence and centering with myself. During the monk path, I followed certain rules and was operating from a different energetic space, while still living a pretty normal life. To me it felt like being a modern day monk, where my work, clothes and home life remained the same, but I was more mindful about every aspect of my life including food, words and relationships. In this post I share the TOP 7 things I learned.
Read MorePlants are intelligent beings too. Sometimes it’s hard to imagine this because their structure, function and make up are so different from ours and animals. Perhaps plants have something to teach us. Could we open our minds and senses and humble ourselves enough to learn from other kinds of creatures much different from us? What if you could actually communicate with plants? Perhaps you can.
Read MoreQuestion everything. For there are many truths to this reality. You are here to discover yours. A healthy dose of doubt can be the push we need to completely change our lives. Questioning the status quo has been the gift of the trailblazers, innovators and the revolutionaries. It takes courage to ask questions, especially when everyone else is going along with the grain of life. It takes even more courage to change our minds. How can doubt transform your life?
Read More“Why would anyone want to live in community?” some of you may be thinking. “Seems kind of hippy dippy.” others may be thinking. Do I think community is beneficial for everyone? Yes. Do I think it’s challenging? Yes. Most importantly living in community is a spiritual gym. How compassionate can we be when someone eats our last banana? Community is the perfect barometer to measure where we are on the spiritual journey. It provides us with the perfect container to continue to grow and evolve into our brightest selves.
Read MoreEver looked back on life and wonder why something happened? At the time you couldn’t make sense of it or see the purpose. Perhaps you felt regret. Every part of the journey plays a significant role in creating our life whether we realize it or not. Especially the challenges. We have done things without knowing why and maybe we still don't know why. Every experience has been perfectly orchestrated and plays an equally important role in shaping the now. Hence why there is never a reason to regret. If even one event happened differently, your today would not be as it is. These moments were lessons learned in becoming who you are.
Read MoreAs I shifted to a mind, body, spirit human perspective, I realized true health care is really life care. And to live an amazing life, it’s about optimizing. Enhancing our being in mind, body, and spirit is how to invite longevity, happiness, and love into our lives. So where do we go for life care and optimization?
Read MoreThere are a lot of Burning Man judgers and haters as with anything that makes an impact in the world. Ultimately I feel Burning Man is a beautiful thing and the world can know more peace, love and harmony if even a few of the 10 guiding principles were infused into our society. This week I share this year's experience–lessons on life and love. Enjoy!
Read MoreThere is an epidemic happening in our society where people are numbing out on prescription medications, alcohol, drugs, and sex to not feel the pain of sadness or depression. As children we are taught not to cry and not to express this other side of our being. This life is both light and dark. Is running from or suppressing these feelings the answer?
Read MoreI chose to spend my 30th birthday facilitating my own personal vision quest. Most notably, this time was spent in nature–in silence and solitude. I quieted my being to listen to the wisdom of the universe and the messages were bountiful. These 12 insights have shifted my perspective on life, creating more peace, love, and surrender in the process. Which of these 12 insights most resonates in your life? #12 was the biggest for me!
Read MoreSometimes I feel amazement when I examine my life and I wonder, “How did I get here?” I’ve come to realize that all of my major life changing decisions happened while I was retreating. I can vividly remember the exact moment I chose to leave western medicine. It was on a vacation during my first year of residency. I was sitting on the beach, retreating at an Ashram in the Bahamas. Crystal blue waters sparkled in front of me as I looked out to the sea beyond my happy, sand covered toes. I felt at peace with a journal, pen in hand, and I vividly saw my future unfolding before me.
Read MoreI have come to appreciate the environment of festivals because they offer a unique space for life reflection and relating to others. Generally they create a space for people to come together and connect. Hearts tend to be more open than in everyday life. This offers a mirror to look within at where we are, where we’d like to go, and what we wish to shed and embody. Perhaps these seven reminders will resonate with you in some way to cultivate a more peaceful, connected existence, offering assurance on this journey through the human experience.
Read MoreI’ve kissed death twice. I use the word kiss because it is an intimate experience. In fact, it is a gift, a healing one. And it can be life changing. Both times shifted my perception about everything I think I know about this existence. This past week I hosted a wellness retreat in Nicaragua. What started out as a “yoga” retreat, evolved into a mind, body, and spirit experience. Two very interesting things happened to me while I was away. On the last day of the retreat, my MacBook Air laptop crashed and I almost drowned in the ocean. This opened my eyes to live every moment in Carpe Diem.
Read MoreThis journey of life is a dance. You can tap your feet on the sidelines, ho humming along. Or, you can ecstatically dance your way through life with the music blasting, shaking that body like nobody is watching. Which do you prefer? The way you choose to live your life is just that a choice. You created the life you’re living now, and you have the power to create any life you wish—just be sure to follow the signs…
Read MoreWhat if I told you my greatest teacher was not a person? What if I told you my greatest teacher was not something I learned in a book or in my many years of schooling? My greatest teacher is one I wish for all people to experience. My greatest teacher opened my mind and my heart to new perspectives. My greatest teacher changed my life in more ways than you can imagine. My greatest teacher changed my life for the better.
