2015 Sage Summit --- Day 1

Each morning we awaken to the possibility of a new day. We start by immediately choosing the thoughts and stories that are running through our minds. Are these thoughts though congruent with the life you desire? br So how can we change this? How do we explore what we want in life and implement them in our day to day? How do we tactile major challenges in life? What story do we tell about ourselves the moment we meet someone new? br Together we will answer these questions as well as explore the area of life that call our attention. As we shift our thinking in each area, we allow ourselves to come to wholeness on our journey for inner acceptance and understanding.

The beauty of life is there is more than one way to live. When we take the step of being responsible for creating our life and influencing our growth we have the freedom to explore new thoughts and beliefs in order to knit together our understanding of ourselves and our place in the world. br Our special guest this week is Luke Sniewski, health and fitness guru, author and host of Million Ways to Live. His web series millionwaystolive.com follows him on his journey through 40 countries to learn and share the perspectives of health, life and happiness from around the globe. br It's time to begin living your best life starting right now!

Everything stems from the foundation of our beliefs. This foundation is started in the home. What messages are we giving to our children? How are our actions influencing their minds, their hearts and their behaviors? brbr How are we as adults aware of the influence we place on the next generation? Are we a part of the discussion, engaging the youth of the world to have confidence in themselves and finding value in who they are? Or are we so distracted with work and business that we forget about the impact we can have in their lives? brbr It's time to influence with confidence! Joining us this week is our special guest Donna De Luca from Montreal, Quebec. Donna leads an innovative and creative youth leadership program BE THE CHANGE that focuses on personal, professional and social cultural development.

We have grown up hearing the phrase You are what you eat and the truth is, we are what we eat, think, believe, speak, surround ourselves with, etc. Our physical bodies are a reflection of both our decisions and our indecision. Taking care of our bodies and our health is a mindset unto itself and requires resetting and shifting in healthy and mindful ways. Joining us this week is special guest Yarixa Ferrao, aka Coach Yari, fitness guru and spiritual teacher. She will share with us her program called The SoulBody Method TM. We will explore the connection between the mind and the body and how we can step by step begin to shift old mindsets about health to new and vibrant ways of being. Start right where you are. It is time to reclaim your mindset around your health and body! One step at a time, one mindset reset at a time. You won't want to miss this special episode!

Science has proven that there are many efficient and effective tools and techniques to aide in the process of MindSet ReSet. One such tool is hypnotherapy. Using our own levels of awareness, and understanding how to communicate with our subconscious mind, hypnosis is a powerful tool to transform old and outdated self talk. Our special guest this week is Liza Bourbari, Certified Hypnotherapist and Founder of Heal Within Inc. Liza will share with us her personal story of transformation, healing and growth using various hypnotic techniques and skills.

Let's talk about MONEY!!! What is the story that you tell yourself about money? Do you think about it or hide from it? Do you find emotions stirring that are uncomfortable or are you in perfect harmony with your financial expression? Joined us this week is Dr. Cynthia Cavalcanti to share how at a young age she made the connection between wealth and consciousness, as she set out to discover more about the spiritual side of success.

Every day people, situations and stories come into our lives. We learn from them and in turn are able to share and enrich the lives of others. brbr This weeks guest author D.D. Marx has done just that, sharing her stories of close friends and hard lessons in her book series Beyond Believing. D.D. takes a look at what life is like when we are faced with everyday struggles and challenges leading to an open relationship with opportunities and possibilities. Learning that everyone happens for a reason and there is not such as a thing as coincidences

Perspective. Possibility. Passion Discovery begins with introspection. Taking the time to go within and asking yourself If I could do or be anything I wanted, what or who would I be? It's a space of taking inventory while looking to adjust our perspective to gain a new vision and understanding. This leads to seeing life's possibilities. As we become clearer on what we think and believe we can see the options and choices to progressively make each step. Leading ultimately to understanding our purpose and passion in our world. Each step taken one at a time builds confidence, experience and success.

Day to day we experience this thing called life. We may have a sense of the outline of the day but all the details that are in between have a way of filling themselves out. Our thoughts, our past experiences, our creativity and our future dreams intermingled with personality and emotions are the ingredients that are added to this daily entree. How can we prepare ourselves then to go with the flow, adjust the ingredients as needed and accept opportunities when they present themselves? Joining us this week is Dr. Barbara Young, who is living an extraordinary life, from the halls of academia to the stage and radio, teaching her program Transformation For Success. Today starts anew each day. Happy New Day!
