    In this episode, we are exploring the transformative power of visualization, and lucky you, as you’ll get to experience a guided visualization. In today's episode, we dive deep into how visualization can help you imagine and manifest your best future self.

     

    Get Ready to Visualize Your Highest Potential

    Before listening to the guided visualization in this episode, be sure to create a conducive environment that allows for greater relaxation, mindfulness, calm, and peace. Keep your journal on hand so you can take notes after the visualization to capture what you noticed, saw, felt, and sensed. I will guide you fully through this process. 

     

    The Benefits of Visualization

    Here’s the thing, the benefits of visualization in actualizing your dreams and achieving your goals are numerous and impactful. Here are some key benefits:

     

    1. Enhanced Clarity: Visualization helps you gain clarity about your goals by creating a vivid mental image of what you want to achieve. It allows you to define your goals with greater precision and detail.

    2. Increased Motivation: When you visualize your goals, you tap into the power of your imagination, which fuels your motivation. The vivid mental images of success stimulate your desire and drive, keeping you focused and committed to taking necessary actions.

    3. Improved Focus: Visualization helps sharpen your focus by directing your attention to the desired outcome. It acts as a mental rehearsal, training your brain to filter distractions and concentrate on the actions and strategies needed to achieve your goals.

    4. Heightened Confidence: By repeatedly visualizing your future self and successfully achieving your goals, you cultivate a sense of confidence and self-belief. This confidence boosts your overall performance and enables you to overcome obstacles and setbacks along the way.

    5. Enhanced Performance: Visualization has been shown to improve performance in various domains, including sports, business, and creative pursuits. By mentally rehearsing the actions and outcomes associated with your goals, you build neural pathways that support actual performance and skill development.

    6. Increased Resilience: Visualization fosters resilience by helping you mentally prepare for challenges and setbacks. By visualizing yourself overcoming obstacles, you develop a mindset that embraces adversity and finds solutions, ultimately strengthening your ability to bounce back and stay focused on your greater vision and goals.

     

    Change Your Mindset and Mental Picture with Visualization

    Other benefits include shifting your mental rehearsal and picture of yourself, which affects your belief in what’s possible. Visualization cultivates a positive mindset by shifting your focus from potential barriers to envisioning success. It rewires negative thought patterns and reinforces positive beliefs, which can lead to a more optimistic outlook and a greater sense of self-efficacy. It also helps you to align your actions with your intentions. By visualizing yourself in your goal and taking the necessary steps toward your vision, you increase your chances of making choices and decisions that are in line with your desired outcomes.

     

    Watch Your Creativity Soar

    One of the other powerful aspects of visualization is how it stimulates your innate creativity and problem-solving abilities. As you create mental images of your goals, you tap into your creative potential, allowing for innovative ideas and strategies to emerge. Ultimately, visualization accelerates the achievement of your goals and dreams by creating a powerful mental blueprint of success. By consistently visualizing your goals, you program your subconscious mind to work towards their attainment, making them more attainable and likely to manifest in your reality. How cool is that?! And, it’s free! 

     

    These benefits all make visualization a valuable tool in goal setting and achievement, empowering you to unlock your full potential and create the future you desire.

     

    Reflect and Unlock Your Best Future Self

    Visualization is a tool used often in the world of coaching as it can help your client to unlock new dreams, desires, and goals that have been dormant or that have been challenging to access. After this visualization, I encourage you to reflect on your aspirations, values, and passions to identify your ideal future self. Share personal stories or anecdotes that illustrate the transformative power of envisioning a best future self and the miracles you’re noticing.

    How To Surrender Your Ego with Retired NFL Player Soul Cole

    How To Surrender Your Ego with Retired NFL Player Soul Cole

    Meet Soul Cole

    Brandon Coleman, or as he is more commonly referred to as SOUL COLE, is a retired NFL player for the New Orleans Saints. After suffering a career-ending injury in 2018, he transitioned into the health and wellness space, becoming a Certified Health & Wellness Coach. Dealing with physical pain, depression, and anxiety, Coleman found his way back to himself by utilizing tools such as therapy, meditation, yoga, breathwork, and sound healing. Coleman was able to reprogram his body, and SOUL COLE emerged with a different kind of strength from his newly garnered practices. 

     

    His own personal experiences with injury and loss have given SOUL COLE a unique and profound respect for the value of not only physical but mental and emotional health.

    Understanding the significance of the tools he received was a catalyst for him achieving a Health and Wellness Coaching Certificate at Georgetown University School of Continuing Study as well as completing the MBSR program from the Mindfulness Center at Brown University, School of Public Health. SOUL COLE is committed to helping others refine and redefine their lives by giving them tools to attain balance, intention, and wellness.

     

    Soul Cole is now a Flow Facilitator, Mental Performance Coach, Certified Breath Coach, and Sound Healing Practitioner. He is intense, driven and places high value on faith, family, and morality. To learn more, go to soulcolethebrand.com. 

     

    You Need To Listen To Your Body

    Soul was gearing up to put his 20 years of hard work into playing for the NFL until he suffered a traumatic injury to his neck and back. He continued to push himself and ended up with surgery that had him shut down on every level. Not knowing how to handle such trauma and up against the stigma of getting support, Soul found himself in a dark and lonely place that led to depression and despair. It was in his desperation that he says that God got his undivided attention, and he started to address the deeper trauma and grief. One of the biggest learnings that Soul talked about is the importance of listening and trusting your body. Everything is connected - the physical, mental, and emotional aspects are all part of a larger integrative body system. 

     

    The Power of Surrendering Your Ego 

    In his dark night of the soul, he finally chose to surrender his ego and saw firsthand how he was chasing validation, pride, and acceptance. While his ego was bruised, his spiritual connection began to deepen and grow. He realized that it’s ok not to be ok. How powerful is that, my friend? If you are struggling right now, know that it’s ok not to feel ok and that getting support can be the most loving thing you can do for yourself. 

     

    How To Leave a Legacy 

    One of the gifts of Soul’s greater healing and awakening starting in 2018 is that it gave him the momentum and habits of self-care and self-realization that he continued to tap into and share during the pandemic. He began to find his voice and was able to make a greater impact and bring diversity to those bringing mindfulness, meditation, and healing to the world. Since his accident, Soul has been nurturing his own connection to himself as well as his faith and spirituality, and that of many others. He’s been using his gifts and expertise in breathwork, sound healing, yoga, and coaching to help other individuals, especially in the African American community, come home to themselves.

    Designing Your Destiny Through Human Design with DayLuna

    Designing Your Destiny Through Human Design with DayLuna

    Meet Shayna and Dana of DayLuna

    Shayna Cornelius and Dana Stiles, Human Design experts and co-founders of DayLuna, are on a mission to empower the collective towards self-love, personal freedom, and radical authenticity. While they specialize in the realm of self-purpose and conscious entrepreneurship, they also dive deep into topics such as spirituality, parenting, and the new paradigm on their successful podcast, the DayLuna Human Design Podcast, which has generated over 850k downloads worldwide and has featured notable guests including Terri Cole, Debra Silverman, and Sahara Rose. 

     

    Shayna and Dana feel passionately called to help spread the complex and life-changing science of Human Design to a broader community in a grounded and approachable way. Through their personalized Human Design ritual kits, personalized parenting blueprints, live readings, reader trainings, and video courses, they have curated many different playful yet informative offerings to help support individuals ready to step into their highest potential by honoring their unique energy. Human Design is gaining popularity as our collective evolves toward a new paradigm. Dana and Shayna have worked with over 1000 clients in this space and have been featured on podcasts, including Highest Self, The Lo Life, and Spiritual Shit, to share their expertise. The pair are both living and thriving in California and are the authors of ‘Your Human Design.’ 

     

    What is Human Design?

    In this episode, we'll be talking about human design, a system of ancient modalities combining astrology elements, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and quantum physics to help individuals understand their unique energetic makeup. Human Design synthesizes these systems to give you a detailed energy blueprint to help you navigate your life authentically and align with your purpose.

     

    Human Design is a system channeled by a man named Ra Uru Hu in 1987.

     

    It combines various mystical and scientific traditions to create a map of each individual's unique energetic blueprint.

     

    The system is based on the idea that each person has a specific role to play in the larger cosmic plan and that understanding their individual design can help them fulfill that role more effectively.

     

    How does human design work?

    Human design uses an individual's birth information to calculate their "body graph," a visual representation of their energetic makeup. The body graph includes information about the person's type, strategy, authority, centers, channels, gates, and lines. Each of these elements provides insight into different aspects of the person's personality, strengths, challenges, and purpose.We discussed this in greater depth in this conversation.

     

    How Can Human Design Help With Living Your Best Life?

    Human design can help individuals understand themselves on a deeper level and make decisions that align with their unique nature. It can also help people navigate relationships, career choices, and life transitions more effectively. By recognizing and honoring their individual design, people can live more authentically and fulfill their potential.

     

    The 5 Types In Human Design

    You’ll want to fill out the Human Design assessment, which includes your birthdate, time of birth, and city of birth, to determine your unique type. There are 5 main Human Design types that Shayna and Dana explain in greater depth.

     

    Manifestor: This is a rare type, as less than 10% of the population are manifestors. A manifestor has a powerful aurora that is all about impact, inspiring others, initiating, and then backing off to let others finish. They are the fire starters. 

     

    Generator: Generators make up 35% of the population and have an energetic, open and enveloping aura. They propel the world forward and use their creative life force energy to build what they love. They must do what lights them up and respond by using their body, not their mind, to know if something is aligned or not. 

     

    Manifesting Generator (aka MG or Man-Gen): Manifesting Generators make up 30% of the world population and possess a surplus of creative life force energy to start and follow through with building and creating new things. They have fire starter energy and need variety to use their energy, otherwise they get bored easily. They must also respond by listening to their body response, not their mind.

     

    Projector: Projectors are 20% of the population and are here to guide the energy of others. Their aura is to see into the other person and guide them. They can get burned out quickly and need to work less but more efficiently. They highly value sharing insight and guidance and need to wait for an invitation before responding. There has to be energetic consent. 

     

    Reflector: Reflectors are the rarest type with only 1% of the population falling into this category. Their aura and energy is highly empathetic as they take in energy from everyone and amplify the energy around them. They are like a chameleon and experience everything and nothing. Their sacred purpose is to be a mirror of others and need to show down and wait 28 days before making a decision.

    The Healing Power of Functional Nutrition

    The Healing Power of Functional Nutrition

    Meet Andrea Nakayama

    As the host of the 15-Minute Matrix Podcast and the founder of the Functional Nutrition Alliance, Andrea is leading thousands of students and practitioners around the globe in a revolution to offer better solutions to the growing chronic illness epidemic. By highlighting the importance of systems biology, root cause methodology, and therapeutic partnerships, she helps historically underserved individuals reclaim ownership of their health.

     

    What is Functional Nutrition?

    Functional Nutrition was born in the 1990s as a way to fill in the gaps in medicine and healthcare. It was founded on the premise that there are three important components to address with each patient:

    1. Embrace the therapeutic partnership - the relationship between a functional medicine expert and the client is symbiotic, and it’s crucial to see your client as the expert of their body

    2. Root causes - which is about asking, ‘Why is this happening?’

    3. Systems biology - this is the understanding that everything in the body is connected.

    4. Functional medicine and nutrition take the approach that everybody is unique and that everything is connected. Most of the medical field puts different parts of our body into boxes, whereas functional medicine is about a systems approach.

     

    The 3 Roots to Healing Your Body 

    Andrea likes to look at healing and caring for your body, especially if you have a chronic or inflammatory illness from a ‘3 roots, many branches’ perspective. Here’s an excellent analogy that illustrates this philosophy. Imagine you’re in a field, and you see a gorgeous tree. You get closer to the tree and notice that a few of the branches are dry and dying, and some of the leaves are not as healthy. You wouldn’t get on a ladder and start to chop off branches; you’d want to go down to the trunk and the root system. Human beings are the same— it’s imperative to analyze and address the whole system by looking at the roots, soil, and terrain. 

     

    The 3 roots to address are as follows:

    • Genes

    • Digestion

    • Inflammation

     

    Managing Your Genes

    Andrea talks about the 4 influences on your gene expression: mindset, movement, environment, and food. All of these can influence turning on or off genes and genetic predispositions, so understanding the importance of each of these is important. For example, mindset means your belief system and how you are processing events, life experiences, and your way of looking at the world. Having a growth mindset, for example, will be helpful in supporting you to look for lessons, deeper meaning, and growth opportunities in every situation.  

     

    Understanding digestion

    The 2nd main root is digestion, and the circles of influence within digestion are mechanical, chemical, structural, and microbiol. Digestion is really about growth, metabolism, and repair. 

     

    Here are a few helpful tips Andrea shares that can enhance your digestion:

    1. Be sure to chew your food thoroughly. So many of us eat while being distracted, on the run, or in a rush, and we eat our food without fully or properly chewing before swallowing. Over time, this is just one issue that can lead to digestive problems. 

    2. With digestion and finding the best plan of eating,  it’s not about being on a diet or what’s ‘right,’ but more about what’s best for your body. The ideal balance is a diet that has fat, fiber, and protein in the correct amounts for each individual body.  

    3. Stress is one of the culprits that affect both digestion and the immune system. Finding ways to reduce stress will help your overall gut health.

    4. Eat the rainbow to keep as much diversity as possible in your diet. 

     

    Reducing Inflammation 

    The third root is all about inflammation, and the four circles of influence are clear, calm, modulate, and enhance. Aspects of how you’re managing stress and your life can affect inflammation, such as having clear boundaries and saying no when you mean it versus being a people pleaser and saying yes even when it’s a no. 

     

    Other ways to reduce inflammation:

    1. Be clear about your needs, boundaries, and what works for you.

    2. Incorporate mindfulness and calm every day, be it meditation, yoga nidra, a walk in nature, or breathwork.

    3. Be mindful of what you’re saying to yourself, give yourself enough downtime, and get proper rest. 

     

    You Can Reclaim Your Health

    What I love about the power of functional nutrition and what we discussed in this conversation is the sacred focus on the mind, body, and spirit as a dynamic system where everything is connected. Here’s hoping you are inspired to slow down, say no when you mean no, eat a color palette, and take time to chew and enjoy your food and life. Here’s to your ‘You-est You’!

    How To Change Your Relationship With Money with Barbara Huson

    How To Change Your Relationship With Money with Barbara Huson

    Meet Barbara Huson

    Barbara Stanny Huson is a renowned author, speaker, and financial expert who has helped thousands of women transform their relationships with money. After struggling with financial challenges in her early years, Barbara made it her life's mission to understand the psychology of money and help women become financially empowered.

     

    She has written numerous bestselling books (some of my all-time favorites) on the subject, including Prince Charming Isn't Coming: How Women Get Smart About Money, Overcoming Underearning: A Five-Step Plan to a Richer Life, Sacred Success: A Course in Financial Miracles and Rewire for Wealth.

     

    Barbara has become a leading voice in the personal finance world and a champion of women’s financial health. She has been featured on major media outlets, including The Today Show, CNN, and The New York Times, and has spoken at conferences and events all over the world. Barbara's unique approach to financial empowerment is grounded in spiritual principles and focuses on helping women overcome limiting beliefs and tap into their inner strength and wisdom. She believes that true wealth is not just about money but also encompasses a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and joy. 

     

    Sacred Success

    As one of my personal mentors and teachers, I wanted to bring Barbara back on my show to talk about overcoming fear and a scarcity mindset in a time of economic shifts.

     

    If you're ready to take charge of your financial future and become the boss of your money and financial well-being, you won't want to miss this exciting interview on the You-est You podcast. Barbara's wisdom and experience will inspire and motivate you to take action.

     

    Fear is an indicator light of success. Success always lies outside our comfort zone. As Joseph Cambell said, “The cave you fear to enter is where your treasure lies.” It’s crucial to enter the points of pain and fear as this is where you will begin to heal and transform. It’s our secrecy and silence that keep us stuck. Focusing on your thoughts and feelings leading to the fears and stories that aren’t serving your financial well-being is a good place to start. 

     

    Barbara defines sacred success as pursuing your soul’s purpose for your own bliss and the benefit of others while being richly rewarded. Isn’t that SO powerful? 

     

    A Busy Woman's Guide to Financial Success

    Barbara interviewed thousands of successful, high-earning women and came to the following realization about women creating success financially: 

     

    1) No one is going to save you or do it for you 

    2) You don’t have to do it alone and shouldn’t go at it alone (as women, we’re wired for connection and naturally relationship-oriented) 

    3) Find a financial professional to help you

     

    These are the habits that are crucial to building financial literacy and wealth: 

    Every day you must read something about money and familiarize yourself with the jargon.

    Every week have a conversation about money with someone who knows more than you do.

    The Wealth Connection

    Whether you know it or not, the brain controls our behavior, and our mind shapes our brain. Barbara explains that true financial success is 4 pronged in this way:

     

    You must do the outer work of wealth (knowing your numbers, getting help managing your money, learning about money, and increasing your financial literacy).

     

    You need to pursue the Inner work of wealth, which includes studying your attitudes, beliefs, and early decisions around money.

     

    There’s a spiritual and higher realm of wealth, and once you know your purpose and are financially stable, you can be of higher service. The more you have, the more you can give.

     

    The deeper work of your mind and brain connection is crucial and often overlooked. This is explained in depth in Barbara’s book, Rewire for Wealth. 

     

    The Three Levels of Financial Wellbeing

    Barbara shared in clear and easy terms the three levels of financial being. See which one resonates the most and how you might start working on your own financial set point to move to the level of affluence and overflow. 

     

    The three levels of financial being are:

    • Survival - this is where you do not have enough money and feel like you are barely getting by.

    • Stability - you have just enough money but not a lot of extra or overflow.  

    • Affluent - You have more than enough money and are able to experience financial freedom on all levels. 

     

    We discussed how to create affluence. I thought Barbara’s wisdom here was spot on. To have affluence, you need to give up profit as the primary goal. It’s actually about greatness. 

     

    Greatness is the intersection where your deep gladness meets the world’s deepest hunger. As Frederick Buechner said, “The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.”That is sacred success. 

     

    Spiritual Guidance With Money

    A Course In Miracles (ACIM) is a spiritual guide that helped Barbara to heal her relationship with money (and is helping me on my own journey as well). Money gives us choices and freedom. As Dr. Rev. Michael Beckwith says, “You can’t be the Light of the world if you can’t pay your light bills.“ I loved Barbara’s definition of money (something she almost left out of her book for fear of being too ‘woo woo’) – “I believe that money is God made visible.” This exact quote is what put her book on the map worldwide. 

     

    Back to ACIM and how this relates. A miracle is defined as a shift in perception. That is what you want to ask for with your money and in general. You’re asking to have a shift in how you’re perceiving money on all levels. One way to do this is by making spiritual guidance a daily practice to embed this as a new way to view the world and money. 

     

    I had to ask Barbara about her daily morning practice, and here’s what she does:

    Half an hour of stretching.

    Listens to uplifting music (for her, it’s country!)

    Reads the lesson of the day from ACIM.

    Meditation in bed.

    Imagines how she wants to feel that day to pre-pave her day.

    Eats breakfast in bed with her hubby.

     

    Overcoming Fear

    We discussed overcoming fears, especially around money. When you feel fear about your money, be sure to stay in the energy of inspiration. Above all else, ask the Universe something like: ‘Let me see this differently. Let me see this through your inspiration and eyes.’ Remember, wealth comes from you becoming and being your authentic self (what I call your ‘You-est You’), which is often conditioned out of you.

    The Power of Woo Woo Spirituality

    Discovering the Truth Behind the 'Woo Woo' Label

     

    What does the term ‘woo woo’ mean to you? Don’t hold back, my friend. Be honest here.

    Do you think being ‘woo woo’ is wacky!? Is it something you find amusing, trendy, or maybe even unsettling? Let’s explore the deeper meaning behind this concept. 

    I admit to having used this term in the past, only to regret belittling something that holds scientific and spiritual truths. In this episode, I offer a fresh perspective that will help you appreciate practices often labeled as ‘woo.’  I even came up with a new framework to really understand how to see things considered ‘woo’ from a whole new empowering and life-giving perspective.  Join me on this journey of discovery, where you can unlock the potential for enhanced health, wellbeing, and a deeper sense of unity. 

     

    Understanding Heart Intelligence

     

    As you probably know, I love the research and work done at the HeartMath Institute. A portion of all proceeds from my coach certification program goes to HeartMath, and I regularly donate to their organization because I believe in their discoveries and work…which some might consider ‘woo woo.’ 

    Let me share with you one of the recent studies shared from the HeartMath Institute that will illustrate how important it is not to dismiss energy, beliefs, and things that could be considered ‘woo.’ A lot of research has been done to uncover a remarkable relationship between our thoughts, feelings, and attitudes and the effects they have on our own physical DNA. As you might already know after listening to my interview with Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of Biology of Belief, it turns out that our genes are changeable and not fixed. According to research done through the HeartMath Institute, heart-centered positive emotions like compassion, love, gratitude, joy, and care can all improve our immune function, suppress inflammation and heal our nervous system. 

    And get this, the practice of heart coherence (which has to do with your heart rate variability or HRV) and setting intentions (see my past interview with Lynne McTaggart about the power of intentions) was found to create the most significant impact on the physical aspects of DNA strands. What this means is that self-empowered healing is a real thing. It is backed by science and certainly NOT ‘woo woo.’ 

     

    The Wisdom Of Oneness

     

    Rather than focus on how we’re different, my new framework for WOO: the Wisdom Of Oneness honors traditions, spiritual truths, and science that shows how we’re all connected. To learn more about the power of our oneness, I highly recommend reading the book The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden, who has been a guest three times on this show.

     

    My question to you is, how might you find that oneness within yourself?

    Leveraging Spiritual Intelligence & The Power of Forgiveness with Aaron Abke

    Leveraging Spiritual Intelligence & The Power of Forgiveness with Aaron Abke

    Meet Aaron Abke

     

    Aaron Abke is a paradigm-shifting spiritual teacher who delivers a fresh, new perspective on Self-Realization through his teachings on the Law of One, Non-Duality, and Spiritual Intelligence. Aaron aims to provide humanity with the tools, knowledge, and practices needed to aid our collective ascension to Enlightenment, or "4th Density Consciousness". His passion and purpose are to awaken this planet to the awareness of our oneness and collective destiny as an Enlightened civilization.

     

    Ok, gorgeous soul, this conversation definitely goes deep into the metaphysical and cosmic worlds. I’d invite you to listen with your heart and an open mind. Of course, sift through the conversation, take what resonates, and leave the rest. 

     

     

    The Law of One

    To set the context here, I asked Aaron to share his wisdom on The Ra Material: The Law of One. This book was channeled in the 1980s by UFO researchers who spent years and took meticulous care to connect with and take note of their 106 conversations with Ra, a 6th-density social memory complex. In short, this refers to minds that are all joined on another density plane that are all acting as one mind. This is a similar concept if you listen to Abraham Hicks (channeled by Esther Hicks). And don’t worry my friend, I will be sure to explain what this means. 

     

    We Are All One

    In essence, Ra states that the whole universe is one being and that all creation is of one thought. We’re each literally like a neuron in the Divine Mind, and we all play in the totality of the creator knowing itself. Our minds create the illusion of being separate and of the idea of evil. In reality, there is no evil in God. God is perfect love, unity, and wholeness. The highest truth is our oneness. Everything in the Universe is electromagnetic energy. Every particle has a charge. You must choose which polarity you want to be — positive or negative. The negative charge represents separation and not being connected to your heart. This often shows up as an endless need for power at the expense of others. The positive polarity is about love and being of service to others. When you love and serve, you are emulating the Creator. 

     

    Why Your Chakras Are Important

     

    You may not realize that there are 7 densities of consciousness for the soul to evolve, and they are also connected to the 7 chakras (energy wheels of life). Here’s a brief overview to give you a taste of how the chakras are related to life experiences. 

     

    The primal chakras are 1 - 3, whereas the spiritual chakras are 4 - 7. These 7 energy centers are all about how the soul journeys over a 75,000-year period from separation to oneness. 

     

    1. The 1st density is the Root, a red ray of pure being. All 5 elements of the Universe; wood, fire, earth, air, and metal- are considered the root. 

    2. The 2nd density of consciousness is the orange ray which signifies growth, movement such as our animals, plants, fish, and pets. 

    3. The 3rd density, the yellow ray, is the ‘I AM’ consciousness we experience as human beings. It’s about becoming self-aware and is connected to the solar plexus. 

    4. The 4th density, the green ray, is all about love, oneness, and unity. Ra talks about just needing 51% of the human population to be polarized to the positive to regain and reclaim unity consciousness. This density is about the connection of all things, realizing that separation is an illusion of the mind. Many of us (especially if you are moved to read this) are now moving toward the 4th density. 

    5. The 5th density is that of light and is connected to the throat chakra, sharing wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. This is the realm of light bodies that are purely electromagnetic in density. 

    6. The 6th density is the indigo ray and is the law of one density, which is all about unity between love, light, and wisdom. The Ra social memory complex is a conglomerate of higher consciousness that streams as one unified consciousness. 

    7. The 7th density is where you become your higher self. This gateway density is connected to the crown and where the highest guides merge back into source energy. 

    The Power of Forgiveness

    Forgiveness is the answer to healing all human wounds, for it taps into the powerful energy of letting go and moving forward. On a metaphysical level, forgiveness gives you the opportunity to see the illusion of separateness. It allows you to release the idea of ‘right’ or ‘wrong,’ instead putting you into a realm of love and compassion and letting go of anger from the mind and body. 

     

    The Feminine and Masculine Energies Explained

    The feminine and masculine energies within all human beings are crucial for healing and are often misunderstood. The masculine represents the mind, and much of the healing here is about correcting false beliefs in the mind. When you forgive yourself and others, you remember who you are. The feminine represents the heart and the ‘I AM’ state. Healing happens when you give love to the part of you that is upset. It’s ok to feel afraid and hurt, but loving those wounded parts of yourself will help you heal. Remember, all suffering is a cue that you’re perceiving yourself in a way that is not true. True enlightenment is making every relationship loving, including the one with yourself. 

     

    Healing The Mind & Overcoming Suffering

    All suffering is a cue that you are perceiving yourself in a way that’s not true. We suffer because we’re obsessed with ourselves, whereas the best way to heal the mind and suffering is through being of service to others, both in thought and action. Positive thoughts and actions have a positive charge. Giving and receiving are one, so you keep for yourself what you give away. For those who have read and worked through ACIM (A Course in Miracles), Aaron also referenced a very important understanding that most of us miss. The way we see the world is upside down, and what disturbs me most in others is a mirror of what’s in my mind. Really what’s needed for most of us is a healing of the mind.

    Healing from Trauma with Judith Richards

    Healing from Trauma with Judith Richards

    Meet Judith Richards

    Trauma Response Creator, Judith Richards, who was most recently in the documentary FACING FEAR,  is an extraordinary woman who suffered unspeakable abuse. This abuse, which started as a little girl, continued in various forms into her adulthood. Physical and psychological trauma was Judith’s normal. Time and time again, she found herself in a loop that kept repeating from one toxic situation to the next. It was not a good place to be, and it was not safe. Eventually, as a middle-aged adult, Judith managed to extract herself from the continued and repetitive abuse; however, she isolated herself as it was the safest option. But this wasn’t a life. The residual effects of Judith's trauma plunged her into a horrendous mental state of extreme PTSD breakdown - living in hallucinations, flashbacks, and terror. She discovered that escaping from the abuse was one thing, but repairing and resolving the impacts of the trauma was an even greater challenge. Learning how to live with her trauma was never a viable option. She needed to resolve it. Piece by piece, Judith found a way to repair herself with what is now her leading trauma response process, known as TRTP.

     

    Rewiring Your Subconscious         

    Here’s the thing most of us don’t realize – our conscious mind only accounts for 5% of our life, whereas our unconscious mind runs everything else. We pick up beliefs about ourselves early on in our life, starting from birth until 8 years or so. So, if you grew up feeling that it wasn’t safe to be seen or heard, you will continue to develop an unconscious belief that it’s not safe to be visible (which is especially a tough one for those wanting to make a bigger impact in the world). We take on our negative core beliefs, which become the foundation for our beliefs and actions. We thus manifest what our unconscious believes. Judith shares how she changed her unconscious mind, which then changed her life and allowed her to keep past traumas in the past. 

    Overcoming Trauma 

    Trauma, or distress (a similar term for trauma that can cause less of an emotional response), as Judith discussed, is stored in our body. Distress is an event where your amygdala is triggered (the emotional center of the brain), and hormones like the underlying root fear behind trauma, be it anxiety or depression, is that you are not safe. The problem is that when your body is constantly stressed, staying in the fight-flight or freeze state, your nervous system stops regulating, and it feels like past traumas are happening in the present. You continue to emit cortisol and adrenaline, and your body keeps reliving this high state of alert and feeling unsafe. 

     

    The Power of Choice 

    One of the most important aspects of healing trauma is taking back your personal agency and reclaiming your power of choice. Judith demonstrates this brilliantly in the film, Facing Fear, and we discussed how crucial it is to fully embody and embrace your choice to know that you’re safe and that you deserve to heal. One of the ways to do this is to use power statements around choice that aren’t just affirmations but are commitments to yourself with intense emotion. Here are a few examples of what you might say:

    I get to choose.

    I choose to know that it’s now safe for me.

    I choose this in every cell of my body and in my being.

    I choose to deserve to be treated with care and respect.

    I choose this because I can.

    I am enough.

    I vow to love me.

     

    Facing Fear

    Judith was recently in the film, Facing Fear by filmmaker Bill Bennett, addressing universal questions about whether we need fear and what it’s for. Bill had received devastating personal news, which catapulted him into fear. Then, as the pandemic hit, fear turned global. Bennett traveled the globe to seek answers in this extraordinary examination of fear. Experts such as Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Caroline Myss, James Van Praagh, Sister Jenna, Lee Carroll, Paul Selig, Foster Gamble, Michael Tamura, and many more shared their wisdom about fear. You can learn more about this film and how to view it at facingfearmovie.com.

    How To Actually Love Yourself with Erika Bélanger

    How To Actually Love Yourself with Erika Bélanger

    Meet Erika Bélanger

    Erika Bélanger is a yoga teacher, stress coach, and the host of the On & Off Your Mat Podcast. As a teacher and leader, Erika helps her clients move from surviving to thriving by managing their thoughts, feeling their feelings, and regulating their nervous system, so they can reconnect to their body and its needs to experience more joy, connection, and love. Her radiant spirit and engaging sense of humor create light-hearted somatic practices focused on awareness, intentional movement, and self-care. 

     

    Feeling 'Not Enough' and 'Too Much'

    Oh, do I know this terrible twin well of feeling both 'not enough' and 'too much'. My guest today shares all about her struggles with being told she was too sensitive, 'too much', and to stop being so difficult. What ensued in abandoning herself was a full-blown eating disorder and a whole lot of self-loathing. Erika shares openly about hitting rock bottom (a few times) and what helped her to heal her nervous system, body, and mind (for real). We dove into the various practices and ways to create safety within your own self and body and how to stop rejecting your feelings, emotions, and self. 

     

    Best Practices for The Highly Sensitive

    Here are some of the highlights and most helpful practices to start using if you're struggling as a Highly Sensitive Person or empath with burnout, overwhelm, anxiety, hopelessness, and feelings of despair. You'll definitely want to tune into the whole conversation to hear how you can create lasting healing change within your body and mind.

     

    1) First, you must learn to accept and embrace your own sensitivity and whatever you're feeling and experiencing. Drop the shame and stop bullying yourself.

    2) If you want to learn how to meet your own needs, you must be ok with what you actually need. 

    3) Contrary to what you might think, when you're feeling anxious or unsettled, you'll want to match this energy with loving actions that have a similar energy, such as dancing, shaking, running, tapping, etc, before cultivating a more peaceful state.

    4) To support your sensitivity, ask yourself, 'What do I need?' and then listen, honor, and meet your needs.

    5) Creating safety is key to your healing and well-being. 

     

    Want Further Support To Create Inner Peace?

    If you would like further support to create safety from within, and heal your relationship with yourself (and your nervous system), let's connect further to see how I can support you on your healing journey.  You can schedule a virtual coffee chat at juliereisler.com/chat

    Tapping into Your Intuitive Guidance

    While it might sound a bit ‘woo’ or out there, the truth is that we all have intuitive guidance to help us make decisions and choices in all areas of life, really. It’s called your emotional guidance system, and when you learn how to tune in and trust it, you will start to notice patterns when something feels right, be it something you sense in your body or an image you might see, or an emotion you feel. You’ll also learn how to decipher what ‘no’ feels like within your own inner guidance. I’ve interviewed many experts, luminaries, and scientists on the show, like Gregg Braden, Sonia Choquette, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Dr. Rollin McCraty, Dr. Judith Orloff, Laura Lynne Jackson, and many others who have discussed the importance of tapping into and listening to your intuition. As Sonia Choquette shared in her interview, remember that intuition literally means ‘your inner teacher.’ In today’s solo episode, I decided to honor my intuition and pull cards from a few of my favorite decks to see what showed up as messages, themes, and wisdom for all of us. As always, my friend, take what you like and discard the rest. And above all, make sure you run all of what I share through your own brilliant intuitive guidance. It will never lead you astray!

     

    How To Use Oracle Cards        

    There are many ways to use oracle cards. The way that I love to use them is by no means scientifically backed, but it is a process I’ve been using for years that has been spot on for me and for those in my Sacredology community (where I give intuitive messages from time to time). I first like to get a sense of which deck wants to ‘play’ with me. Once I’ve decided, I take the cards out and begin to shuffle them while I state a very clear intention that sounds like this: “May I pull a card(s) that is for the highest good for me and all those I’m here to serve. May this card(s) shed light, open hearts, and bless me and everyone involved.” I then shuffle and often span the cards out in my hands to see which one feels like it wants to be pulled out. Often it’s the top card, but sometimes it’s another card wedged in the deck. I trust my guidance and have never pulled a card that didn’t fully resonate. I’d encourage you to practice this process or one that works for you and take note of the cards you get and what they mean to you. After time, if you continue to play with your intuition and the oracle cards, you will start to see patterns, themes, and wisdom that I’m confident will guide you through whatever is going on in your life. Playing and tapping into the wisdom of my cards has helped me enormously in connecting more deeply with my ‘me-est me.’ 

     

    The Oracle Cards In this Episode

    I pulled some powerful cards in this solo session, and I am sharing the card, main message, and where you can get them below. I’d love to hear from you what resonates the most and what you’re discovering about yourself. 

     

    The You-est You Intention Deck

    juliereisler.com/shop

     

    The first card I chose was: Integrity

    The intention: Integrity is the cornerstone of having a life that works with ease. I choose to align my words and actions with my highest intentions and to follow through on what I say and commit to. I show up in my life today with integrity and responsibility for all that occurs in my life. 

     

    The second card I chose was: Laughter

    The intention: Laughter is healing for my body and soul. I will find time to invite laughter into my day to lighten up myself and those around me. 

     

    Ask yourself, where might you add more integrity to your life? Where are you in and out of integrity? Note: Do not judge yourself either way here. Also, look at where and how you’re adding levity, laughter, and lightness to your life.

     

    Animal Spirit Guidebook

    Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3JO4gju

    The next deck I picked from is another one of my favorites. This beautiful deck will give you incredible guidance and insight connected to different animal spirits and the four elements: water, air, earth, and fire. 

     

    The card I chose was: Vulture

     

    Deeper meaning: The vulture signifies both a guardian and a purifier. This is one of the most misunderstood creatures, as its gift is purification and helping to bring you back into balance. 

     

    Something to think about: What you think is a tragedy or mistake is actually a blessing in disguise

     

    Sacred Traveler Oracle Cards

    Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3LurwE3

     

    I use the Sacred Traveler deck all the time and almost every month.

     

    The card I chose was: Mystic Healer- Healing energy flows through you. 

     

    Deeper meaning: You are a healing force, even if you are just becoming aware of this or aren’t sure how to use your healing abilities. For healing to occur in outward relationships, it must first happen within yourself. You, my friend, do have the ability to heal within yourself. Use the art and gift of visualization and tap into deeper trust and faith that all is working out for your highest good. What is being revealed is here to be healed.

     

     

    The Cosmic Journey Oracle

    Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3TlgTFy

    Yanik Silver was on my podcast earlier last year, and I absolutely love his Cosmic Journal and Cosmic Journey Oracle cards. There are lots of excellent questions that will prompt deeper reflection and inner awareness. 

    The first card I chose: #44 - Words Create Your World

    Deeper meaning: First off, this is the title of a chapter in my book, Get a PhD in YOU. I believe this to my core. Your words are the magic wand in your life. Get present, slow down, and notice what you’re saying to others and yourself. Be mindful and careful with your words, my friend. They create the life you are living now and in the future. 

     

    The second card I chose: #39- Your Effortless Effort is Fully Required

     

    Deeper Meaning: Do your best AND go with the flow. This one spoke deeply to me, especially as a recovering overachiever. Stop pushing and trying to make things happen. Tap into the Universe's balanced yin/yang energy, move into harmony with your effort, and use effortless effort to manifest your greatest desires.         

     

    I’d love to hear your thoughts after listening to this episode. I had so much fun doing this for you and would love to know if it resonated with you and if you’d like me to do more intuitive guided episodes with oracle cards. Let me know in the You-est You Facebook community, or email me at julie@juliereisler.com.

    How To Tap Into The Power of Love with Rabbi David Aaron

    How To Tap Into The Power of Love with Rabbi David Aaron

    Meet Rabbi David Aaron

    Rabbi David Aaron is a spiritual teacher who has invested over 4 decades delving into life’s BIGGEST question marks and sharing his life-changing wisdom and insights with adults and young adults. He has emerged as the ‘God expert’  simply because he has dared to ask and answer the most difficult questions that he/ALL people have and/or struggle with about God’s existence and their own. And while the name ‘God’ appears on the cover of almost all his books, he doesn’t believe in ‘God’ – not in the popular sense of that word, which leaves the Divine entirely misunderstood. Rabbi Aaron has authored several books, including Endless Light, Seeing G-d, Love is My Religion, The Secret Life of G-d, Inviting G-d In, Living a Joyous Life, and The God Powered Life.  His books have attracted national media attention, including Larry King Live and E! Entertainment. He lives in Jerusalem with his wife, Chana, and seven children. 

     

    The Meaning of Kabbalah

    Just like the Law of Attraction, Kabbalah is about the Law of Reception and the teachings that all good is here now and always. The problem is that we don’t know how to get reception. Rabbi Aaron shares that we’re like radios, and we have to engineer our life to be receptive to hearing God and Good. The most important things in life are not things. Experiencing love, peace, good, and God are always here and available to everyone. And remember, if you don’t vibe with the word God, just substitute the word Good. 

     

    Endless Light

    Rabbi Aaron shared more deeply about the title of his book, Endless Light, and how we don’t see light — light allows us to see. God is like the light that allows us to see what’s there. God is a light, even though you can’t see God. It’s not about ‘seeing is believing’, rather, it’s about ‘believing is seeing’. Not seeing is actually believing. What’s most important is to learn to live from the light of God and see opportunities to be of greater service. We’re here to love and be of service to others.

     

    The 4 Steps to Love

    Love, by definition, means you don’t have to be worthy to receive it, although many of us get this backward. If you deserve love, it’s not a gift – it’s a payment. Love is a gift and is not a business model. What’s happening is that we don’t have clarity on what we’re here to receive. The greatest gift is our presence and being able to truly and fully be there for and with others, be it our partner, family member, or friend. In truth, we’re all made of love – that’s why we’re here. Love is about giving AND also receiving. 

     

    Rabbi Aaron shared what he calls the 4 ingredients of love: Create space for someone else and move yourself out of the center. 

    Respect and honor that the other person is not you and is different from you. Don’t try to make them be like you. 

    To give of yourself to another person is giving your presence so they can be seen and heard.

    Allow your partner to do the same with you and allow space to receive love. 

     

    Remember that intimacy is ‘into-me-I-see’...it’s about learning to be comfortable with receiving love.

     

    A beautiful quote:  ‘We’re all pieces of love.’

     

    Accessing Your Personal Power

    All the personal power within you is not from you. You couldn’t turn your heart off for 30 seconds because the power of your beating heart doesn’t come from you. Tap into and connect with the power that is beating your heart. Get to know this power that is loving and guiding you. Meditating on your pulse is a great way to access your personal power and feel a deep connection to the miracle that is you. Feel your pulse with your finger. Notice how your pulse is happening without you giving it directions. Meditate on the marvel and mystery that every heartbeat is a gift because all of you is a gift. 

     

    How To Really Be Happy

    The way to true happiness is through loving yourself. When you love yourself, you’re happier and are able to spread happiness to others. As Rabbi Aaron said, it’s not the things that will bring you happiness. It’s about being yourself, living your service, and expressing the happiness that comes from living a life that is about being of service to others. 

     

    Holy Selfishness

    Holy Selfishness is about knowing that we intrinsically need each other and that the aim is to be loving to others. Love is actually a good selfishness. The goal is to act from a place of wholeness and to focus on being holy, or ‘wholly,’ as you are part of a greater whole. This is holy wholeness.  Love is a good selfishness because it means together we honor and acknowledge the shared one greater self. Kabbalah teaches that we’re all emanating from one root self. Even though we are individual sparks of the Divine, we are also of one field of consciousness, one soul, and one self of the Universe. 

     

    As always, my friend, take what you like and leave the rest. I hope this conversation reminds you of your infinite goodness, your connection to an all-loving force, and that you’re inherently worthy of real love, peace, and joy.

    How To Give Two Weeks Notice with Amy Porterfield

Learn more at AmyPorterfield.com.

     

    Should You Become An Entrepreneur?

    This is a question Amy and I both get often, and I loved her answer. While becoming an entrepreneur is not for everyone, you’ll know it’s for you if you have a calling in your heart. The only way to really know if you’re an entrepreneur is if you have a strong desire to do it. If it’s in your heart, you will figure it out. Amy shared so many nuggets of wisdom that I only wish I had years ago when I started my own business. So, whether you’re already an entrepreneur, thinking about going for it, or just sitting with the idea of doing something on your own, this conversation is the key that will unlock how to move forward. 

     

    Know Your ‘You-est You’ Factor

    Before getting started, you’ll want to first think about what kind of lifestyle you’d like to create. Amy shared that her first two years were a disaster because she was so burned out from hustling without a clear plan about what she wanted her lifestyle to feel and look like. You want to make sure to create a business that is authentically you and on your terms. That is suited for your ‘You-est You’. The best way to do this is to get crystal clear about your why. Knowing your why will help you stay connected and committed to your greater desire to have your own business when the going can get tough. 

     

    You Aren’t For Everyone And That’s Ok

    You’re not for everyone, and that’s a good thing! We dove into this idea that you can’t make everyone like you or be for you in business (and in general). What you can do is laser into who you want to serve and why. If you keep your focus too broad, no one will find you. The magic comes from getting clear about who you’re speaking to, serving, and ensuring everything you do and say is directed to that person. Looking around and comparing yourself to others in your space can be easy. Don’t do it! I loved Amy’s advice to put on your blinders (like you would with a racehorse) and run your own race. Keep coming back to your why and if you find yourself caught up in envy or jealousy, ask yourself what they have that you want and create a plan. 

     

    What matters is not necessarily having the confidence (this comes with time) to start a business, but having the courage to take a leap of faith and course correct when needed. My friend, it’s ok to do it scared, anxious, and with blinders on!

     

    How To Become a Content Queen

    Amy suggests finding one platform and focusing there. For example, choose to do a podcast, or a YouTube channel, write a blog, and find ways to create content on the regular. As with everything else, tap into what feels most aligned for you and where you want to spend your time and energy sharing wisdom and content. 

     

    Why You Must Build an Email List

    Here’s the thing about building an email list…most people wait to start building one but find it’s the one thing they wish they had started earlier. Amy shared that even with her robust and engaged email list, she wishes she had started building it earlier. Social media is a great tool to pull in leads, but in the end, you’ll want to put your energy towards building an email list that adds value and creates engagement. Social media rules always change (think Facebook algorithms and Twitter ownership), but your email list will always be something you have domain over. The goal is to pique interest and nurture your community with helpful content and products that will be of service. 

     

    The real secret to building an email list is to take action and get started wherever you are. No list is too small. The key is genuine engagement.

     

     

    Let’s Talk Money and Overcoming Money Anxiety

    It’s important to get clear on your finances. It can be terrifying to leave a paycheck, so you’ll want to start planning out what you need to make to pay your bills, where you can get scrappy and clarify your financial goals. Many let the fear of finances hold them back, but, in truth, you’re not as safe as you might think in your job. A good way to plan your exit date is to determine when you’ll have enough savings and prudent reserves saved up before you leave. Remember, you get to determine what amount of money makes you feel comfortable leaving and what lifestyle you want to have. A good way to do this is to reverse engineer your expenses, lifestyle, and how you want to live – especially during your first year in business. 

     

    And remember, my friend, all of this takes immense courage. So do what you need to connect with others who are supportive, make a plan, take a leap of faith, and go for it. Your future self will thank you when you have the freedom to live life as you desire, make money doing what you love, and help the world in a bigger way.

    The Secret to Embracing Menopause With Esther Blum

    The Secret to Embracing Menopause With Esther Blum

    Meet Esther Blum

    Esther Blum is an Integrative Dietitian and Menopause Expert. In the past 27 years, she has helped thousands of women master menopause through nutrition, hormones, and self-advocacy.  Esther is the bestselling author of See ya later, Ovulator, Cavewomen Don’t Get Fat, Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous, Secrets of Gorgeous, and The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project. Known as Gwyneth Paltrow’s menopause mentor and by Forbes for helping women thrive through menopause, Esther was also voted Best Nutritionist by Manhattan Magazine. She has appeared on the Today Show, ABC-TV, and Good Day NY and is frequently quoted in goop, Well + Good, Forbes, Time Magazine, The New York Post, The Los Angeles Times, In Style, Bazaar, Self, Fitness, Marie Claire, and Cosmo.

     

     

    What Is Menopause?

    Ah, the ‘big pause’...as some might call it. As a female moving into the next phase of perimenopause, I’ve been rather disappointed with the lack of information shared during routine ob-gyn visits and decided to do some in-depth research. This brought me to Esther’s healing work with thousands of women in and out of menopause. So, we dove all into menopause — what it is, ways to treat it, and feel better than ever. Put on your seatbelt, my friend, there’s a lot of ground to cover, and as always, take what you like and leave the rest.

     

    Menopause is a hormone deficiency that happens naturally for women as they start making fewer reproductive hormones. Both menstruation and fertility declines typically with women in their early to late 40s. 

     

     

    What Are Menopause Symptoms?

    Symptoms can, of course, vary from woman to woman. The good news is that 80% of the solution for menopausal symptoms can be changed and altered with lifestyle. Here’s a listing of typical symptoms many women face: periods can worsen, meno-rage (what Esther refers to as excess anger and rage), insomnia and sleep issues, anxiety, depression, irregular heartbeat, breast tenderness, brain fog, vaginal dryness, lowered libido and lighter or missed periods. If you’re feeling something is off, Esther urges you to trust yourself. You know your body and honor your own inner intuition!

     

     

    How To Embrace and Overcome Menopause

    One of the biggest factors in managing and even overcoming menopausal symptoms is due to lifestyle habits like the foods you’re eating, the exercise you're doing, and the sleep you're getting. Esther’s book goes into much greater detail; however, I’m going to break this down into those three categories to help give you an overview and more clarity.

     

    Nutrition

    You’re going to need way more protein than ever before. Esther recommends 150 grams of protein each day. A good place to start is with 30 grams of protein at each meal (which is about 4 - 6 oz/meal). You want to keep your blood sugar stable, which protein and a small amount of carbohydrates can do. Contrary to what you might have thought, eating carbs at dinner is a good idea (for example, 1 - 1 ½ cups of rice or quinoa), which will help bump up your insulin and tamper your cortisol. 

     

    Exercise

    Contrary to the exercise many of us do in our 20s and 30s, you’ll want to switch up your exercise routine to help support your adrenals. This means less ‘HIIT’ (high-intensity interval training) method training and more walks. Walking outside can help reset your circadian rhythm and give you a great dose of vitamin D. Using weights, with enough rest in between sets, will also help with bone density loss. 

     

    Sleep

    It takes 8 weeks to reshape your nervous system. Engaging in deep breathing, meditation, or yoga nidra before bed is an excellent way to rewire your fight or flight system. This takes time, so don’t give up if you don’t notice results right away with your sleep.

     

    What Are The Options?

    Esther shares research in greater depth in her book; however, we did discuss healthy options to help with symptoms and support your body during these hormonal changes. All of these suggestions are FDA-approved and considered bio-identical hormones, which are most like your own hormones. A great way to test your hormone levels, in addition to a hormone blood test, is to take what’s called the DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) test. Esther and other functional medical professionals can guide you so you’re not going through perimenopause and menopause alone. 

     

    You can get a list of Esther’s ‘Happy Hormone Cocktail List’ that she mentioned here: https://estherblum.com/cocktail/ref/5

     

    Menopause Redefined 

    In Asian cultures, it’s also known as ‘The Second Spring.’ I love this definition because of the focus on a second chance to bloom into your most true self. Perhaps this is the time in your life when you lose your filter, own your voice, and end an era of ‘people pleasing’. You’ve not tethered to rules around your cycle anymore, and perhaps it’s a time to embrace taking exquisite care of yourself.

     

    Some empowering questions to ask yourself might be: ‘What do I really want?’, ‘Who do I want to surround myself with?’ and ‘How do I want to feel?’. This is a time to cut out all the B.S. and honor your ‘You-est You’!

    The Surprising Effect of Spiritual Coaching with Cheryl Bailey

    The Surprising Effect of Spiritual Coaching with Cheryl Bailey

    Meet Cheryl Bailey

    Cheryl Bailey is the founder of Grit and Grace Meditation. She recently became a Certified Life Designer® Coach in Julie Reisler’s certification program. Cheryl’s passion for life coaching began years ago when she personally worked through some of the most tumultuous times in her life.

     

    She realized that the journey of life doesn’t come with a roadmap, and we all experience twists and turns, highs and lows, and there is never a perfect outcome. The work that they did together was life-altering, and she knew one day, she wanted to be able to hold space and co-create with other women on that same level. Today, Cheryl is a Certified Life Designer Coach, 200 Hour RYT, 200 Hour Certified Mindfulness Meditation Instructor, Certified Conscious Sound Practitioner, a 40- hour Certified Yoga Nidra Instructor, a Certified Hibiscus Moon Crystal Practitioner, and an Usui Level II Reiki Practitioner. Cheryl also co-facilitates transformational Self-Love Women’s Retreats in Sedona and Costa Rica. Cheryl lives with her husband in magical Sedona. You can learn more about Cheryl by visiting gritandgracemeditation.com.

     

    An Unlikely Healing Path

    After a string of tragedies, Cheryl was taught that control was merely an illusion.

    Her first marriage of 17 years ended in a nasty divorce. Later, when she found love again, she lost her second husband to colon cancer. And within a few months of his passing, Hurricane Sandy rendered her homeless. Life truly pulled the rug out from under her. She fought to keep going under the weight of constant outer and inner turmoil. She knew there was another way to live, but that didn’t happen until she began to fully surrender to something greater than herself. It was through various holistic and wellness practices that she found grace for herself. She realized that she didn’t need to strive for perfection, and it was okay to give herself the time and space to just “be.” She reconnected with her higher power and trusted God to guide her through all of life’s ups and downs and ins and outs. This is when a sense of inner peace and self-awareness blossomed within, and where she found her true calling within sound healing, meditation and mindfulness, yoga, and spiritual coaching.

     

    The Healing Power of Being a Spiritual Coach

    Cheryl wanted to make a bigger impact by learning how to help guide women back to their truest selves and deeper desires. She knew doing this would require getting the training and acquiring the skills to support women in a bigger way. In the Life Designer® Coach Certification program, she learned how to go from her head to her heart and help others do the same. This process of letting go of the linear, left brain into what’s possible in the creative right brain helped Cheryl to let go of her own perfectionistic tendencies and help others through her coaching skills. Much of coaching is learning how to help others to let their ego get out of the way, and of course, practicing the coaching competencies helped Cheryl to do this from within. Today, Cheryl coaches clients from all backgrounds and infuses her healing arts background and life design coaching in her retreats and programs. 

     

    Self-love Isn’t Selfish

    You can not give from an empty cup. Cheryl learned the hard way as a recovering perfectionist that the most loving thing you can do is to fill yourself up and take exquisite loving care of your mind and body. Sometimes that means doing things that others might not like. This is where grit, grace, and compassion come in. You must find the inner strength to follow what’s true for you, regardless of what others think. We must remove the blinders and refuel ourselves with love to see and feel the Divine.

     

    The Most Important Question To Ask Yourself

    Cheryl, like many of us, wasn’t taught to herself what she really wanted. Only after tragedy and deep soul searching did she start to ask the important question, ‘Who am I, really?’ What followed was the question, ‘How can I be of service?’. Listening more deeply to her heart, she realized her desire was to share her gifts with others. So, after receiving the signs from the Universe, she left her successful career in higher education to pursue a life she was truly passionate about. After being inspired by her

    own unexpected challenges and experiences, she realized her journey was indeed her

    destination. Be sure to ask yourself regularly, ‘Who am I, really, and how can I be of maximum service?’ Get quiet, listen to your inner guidance, and be prepared to take courageous action toward your vision.

    How To Tap Into Your Spiritual Power with Julie Reisler

    How To Channel Your Spiritual Gifts 

    Here’s the thing, whether or not you’re aware of it, you are always channeling something. Remember, you are a spiritual being having a human experience. Think of yourself as a radio station with a dial. The question really is, from what frequency or radio station are you channeling? If you want to channel your spiritual gifts and experience more joy and freedom, you must start tuning your inner frequency and radio dial to the emotional state of joy and freedom. We can’t emit what we don’t feel. Emotions are our guidance and will always tell you where you vibrate and what radio station you’re tuned into. If you want to channel wisdom from the higher realms of greater intelligence and love, you’ll want to focus your energy on experiencing this kind of unconditional love for yourself and learn to quiet your mind. It all comes down to how you feel and how you prioritize how you feel, as well as having a peaceful mind. I’ve discussed this in many of my past interviews with experts like Alan Cohen, Neale Donald Walsh, Marci Shimoff, and Matt Kahn. You might ask yourself how you prioritize self-care and spiritual connection (in whatever way that resonates for you) and ways to increase time for quiet reflection, mindfulness, and being heart-centered with yourself.

     

     

    The Powerful Study That Proves Spiritual Connection 

    I shared a story in the second year of my graduate program at Maryland University of Integrative Health, where my professor conducted a study that is still glowing my mind. After we came back from our lunch break, she had us taste red and orange peppers from two different plates. They looked the same but tasted quite different. The first plate, labeled A, tasted bitter and sour. The second plate, labeled B, tasted sweet and delicious. When asked why we thought there was such a difference, students shouted out all kinds of answers. “The second plate are organic peppers,” “The sweeter peppers are from a local farm,” and “The sour peppers are GMO from a standard grocery store.” Our teacher answered ‘no’ to every possible reason, which stumped my classmates and me. Then she pulled up a slide that forever changed my life. She shared Dr. Masaru Emoto’s studies and findings from his book, ‘Hidden Messages From Water’. Dr. Emoto spent years studying the implications of consciousness on the molecular structure of water. In short, he proved that the molecules change in water depending on your energy, consciousness, and way of speaking to the water. When he yelled and screamed profanity at the water, he could see after studying the frozen sample that it looked like jagged edges. However, when he was loving, kind, and encouraging to the water, he saw under the microscope how the water sample looked like a snowflake or beautiful symmetrical pattern. Our professor had done something similar. She had yelled and screamed at one plate of peppers (sample A) and had lovingly and kindly spoken to the other plate of peppers (sample B). Without knowing any of this beforehand, every single one of us could taste the difference between her angry versus loving words. We had experienced what Dr. Emoto showed throughout his water studies. If you think this sounds too ‘Woo-Woo’, go read the book ‘Hidden Messages of Water’ or google Dr. Emoto’s work. It will glow your mind too. 

     

     

    How Spirituality Can Heal The World

    Spirituality is the connection to all things and the realization of our oneness. It transcends religion, race, sexual orientation, and gender. Spirituality is the golden thread that links every living being (human, animal, plant) together regardless of views, beliefs, or life experiences. When you remember and connect to the interconnectedness and unique divine aspect of yourself (and everyone), you can change your life view from fear and disconnection to appreciation, forgiveness, love, and kindness. As each of us aims to heal our own mind of fear and lack and reclaim our divine birthright of goodness and light, we connect more deeply to our higher self, or the soul self, that is always with you in the past, present, and future, guiding you to what’s for your best. This spiritual connection to your higher self allows you to become your ‘You-est You’. Imagine a world full of human beings living and acting from a deeper spiritual connectedness about compassion, understanding, love, hope, and what is possible in healing. We all have the ability to start this healing right now, and it starts with you and me. 

     

     

    Why You Should Get A Spiritual Coaching Certification

    I didn’t realize it, but when I worked with a coach years ago who helped me change my life trajectory, I not only transformed my thoughts and beliefs, but also my connection to God. This profound spiritual experience was just the beginning of what would continue to grow through the modality of coaching. I have seen firsthand the inherent power of coaching and how this career is truly about helping people to connect to their divinity and higher self. When trained properly, you’ll learn how to quickly see others’ gifts, skills, and strengths without even intending to. The biggest gift in getting a spiritual coaching certification is the transformation of your relationship with yourself. Suppose you’re on the fence or have considered getting a coaching certification to learn the modality and framework and to heal your relationship with yourself. In that case, I encourage you to throw your hat over the fence and go for it. You’ll never be the same person again, and your future self will thank you. Doors are open until March 10th, and you can enroll now at juliereisler.com/certification

    How To Trust Your Energy with Rev. Frances Fayden

    How To Trust Your Energy with Rev. Frances Fayden

    Meet Rev. Frances Fayden

    Rev. Frances Fayden is an Interfaith Minister, Author, Intuitive Energy Coach for Conscious Women Entrepreneurs, and the Magnify Your Miracles podcast host. A master intuitive healer and metaphysical coach, Frances is fluent in the language of the human energy field known as the chakra system and can quickly translate energetic information to help her clients heal & transform.  In 2012, Frances had a profound encounter with Mother Mary, which changed the direction of her life and awakened her life's purpose. She has been channeling messages from Mother Mary ever since.  She loves working with Highly Sensitive Souls who have a big vision and mission yet are seeking validation and personal guidance with their next steps. Frances says, “By incorporating Mother Mary’s guidance along with feedback from your own energy field, and then applying the Universal Laws of Manifestation, miracles can occur.”  She is the author of the books Meditation is Friendship with God and How to Recognize God. Her passion is connecting women to the unconditional love of the Divine and then teaching them how to magnify that connection, which is the key to Magnifying Your Miracles.

     

    Oh, my friend, I hope you take the time to listen to this whole conversation as energy is part of everything in your life. And I mean everything. You and I are made up of energy. Our thoughts, actions, feelings, emotions, and beliefs are all made of energy. Manifestation is really the divine process of taking thoughts, emotions, and beliefs (as you know, all energy) and creating a physical, tangible, material experience or reality (all energy). 

     

     

    Trusting Your Energy

    First and foremost, you need to learn to trust your energy. This is not as easy as it sounds since so many of us are taught to override our feelings and intuition so that we can fit in, please others, or do the ‘right thing.’ We learn early on to dismiss the messages from our own energy and body. Being a good steward of your energy and caring for yourself is not ‘woo-woo.’ It’s practical and can keep you healthy, vibrant, and grounded. It all starts with taking responsibility for your energy and the energy you are bringing into all aspects of your life. 

     

     

    Taking Care of Your Energy

    Part of taking care of your energy is doing loving things for yourself, especially your body. You’ll want to think about how you want to feel. If you’re not sure what to do to take care of your energy, start with these three steps:

    Keep it simple - start with your body and ask yourself the following questions: ‘How does this experience, person, or situation make me feel? Do I feel better or worse?

    Journal and reflect on what you notice when you ask yourself these questions.

    Check in with yourself on an ongoing basis and ask yourself, ‘How did that feel?’ You’ll soon start to notice patterns. 

     

     

    Your Chakras and Your Energy

    Think of your chakras (in Sanskrit, this is translated as your ‘energy wheels’) as little databases. They are always recording information and storing what happened. This database can easily go offline (especially in our western, faced-paced society) when you feel angry, overwhelmed, stressed, or unsafe. One of the best ways to restore your life force energy and chakras is through forgiveness and making sure you feel safe (and be sure to put yourself on the top of the list of people to forgive). 

     

     

    We Could All Lighten Up

    I don’t know about you, but I easily get so serious about life. Rev. Frances talks all about the importance of lightening up. Bring in the element of fun and joy. An example might be pulling oracle cards for the new and full moon. Notice if these activities fill your bucket and nourish you; if so, keep adding energizing and revitalizing practices. 

     

     

    Why Your Energy Matters

    The bottom line is that you want to make sure your energy rejuvenates you, not depletes you. This means keen attention and presence to how you’re feeling. All is in your energy, and you’re affected so much more than you might realize. Be sure to work on your level of presence and mindful awareness so you can begin to tune in and notice your energy and how to keep it healthy and clear. 

     

    One of my favorite takeaways: Our spiritual path is learning how to honor our energy. If you take care of your energy, your energy will take care of you.

    What A Life Coach Does & How They Make Money

    What A Life Coach Does & How They Make Money

    Meet Gina Casbarro

     

    Gina Casbarro is a certified Life Designer® coach and feng shui expert who empowers her clients to blaze their own paths and design the life and space of their dreams. Gina’s passion for coaching began as a manager at lululemon. She spent more than eight years there, coaching hundreds of people to develop as leaders and crush their goals. Her love of nature, symbolism, and intuition led her to feng shui. She now weaves these passions together to support her clients in aligning their mindset, lifestyle, and their environment with their truest goals and values. Gina also hosts the podcast “Follow your Spark,” which she began on a year-long road trip around the USA and beyond, interviewing people all over the world on what it looks like to create a life you love. With all of her incredible coaching and leadership experience, Gina is also the lead Mentor Coach for my Life Designer® Coach Academy certification program.

     

    Pursuing Your Dream

    Gina worked as a leader in a corporate setting that she liked but wasn’t quite aligned with her greater passions and purpose. She became a Feng Shui expert and got into coaching with a well-known personal development program, and decided to start her business on the side to help others design their space to match their vision and values.

     

    Redefining Success

    Like many of us, Gina used to struggle with mind drama that caused much suffering and a feeling of discontent and worry. Gina realized the importance of personal growth in working through these inner beliefs. She started to think and act in new ways that led to more joy, peace, and inner calm. We talked about redefining success from mere stats, numbers, dollars, and followers or needing outside forces to validate you to an inherent sense of value no matter what financial number you bring in or how many clients you have. I love this new definition and hope it inspires you, my friend. 

     

    Why Become A Coach

    While Gina had leadership skills and had coached within Lululemon and Landmark education (a large personal development program where we had met and I had coached Gina), she could feel that something was missing. Gina wanted to know the exact tools, methodology, framework, and techniques to help others get out of their own way and to find greater joy in life. Gina joined the Life Designer® Coach Academy in 2020 and became a certified life coach within my program. I could see how these classes and the community were helping her to dig deeper into her own intuition and trust herself. Now fully on her own as a Life Designer® and Feng Shui expert, Gina is using her skills and heart to help others, coach, teach and mentor the students in the upcoming cohort of my life coach certification program. 

     

    Owning Your Worthiness

    We also talked a lot about worthiness and money blocks, as it relates to stepping into a greater identity and making a larger impact. Like any muscle, worthiness is an important muscle to build. It’s not that you need to do anything to become worthy, it’s about building the muscle to remember and acknowledge your worthiness. This has taken Gina time, and she shares a few questions to ask yourself that can flip the script and remind you of your inherent worthiness and value. Here are a few of the questions we discussed:

    Why am I capable of doing this?

    What’s the value I bring here?

    Why is my work so valuable?

     

    Overcoming Money Blocks

    Unlike other professions, coaching is one that still operates in a bit of a ‘wild west’ realm. There is a huge discrepancy between what coaches charge and make. The one thing that comes up for many coaches is blocks around money and charging for services, especially if this feels like something you’d do for free because you love it so much. Side note, if you feel like this is something you’d do for free, that is a great indication that you’re meant to coach and help others. Gina shared that what has helped her is creating offerings that cause the least amount of drama in her life and feel good in her body and energy. 

     

    It’s All About This…

    Most importantly is that you learn to trust that you’re where you’re meant to be. Period. Where you are can be full of fertilizer for where you want to be.

Trained as a journalist at CBS News, nationally syndicated program energyNOW! on Bloomberg, and Washington Post Live, she has a natural ear for a story and a journalist’s passion for research. The traumatic death of her father at a young age and diagnosis of Lyme Disease and postpartum depression after the birth of her third child deepened her passion for health, wellness, and spirituality and taught her how to access her own authentic power to heal her life. She is a certified Life Designer®, and received her certificate in The Science of Well-Being from Yale University. Ashley, the oldest child in a proud military family, was born in Schweinfurt, Germany, and has lived and worked in New York City and Washington, D.C.  She is the author of the award-winning book Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission to Feel.

     

    Join in for a powerful conversation with my very dear friend, Ashley Bernardi, who also happens to be a genius at publicity and life design coaching. Ashley shares very vulnerably about her own traumatic experience of her father having a heart attack in front of her family at age 11 and how it took years to fully process her emotions and heal from the inside out. 

     

    Ashley’s motivation today is to help as many individuals as possible to feel, heal and reclaim their voice and authentic power through speaking and sharing your message. This is a must-listen if you are still processing past trauma or want support to process your emotions.

     

     

    The Body Remembers Trauma

    Ashley didn’t realize how her trauma impacted her sense of self and health. As a young girl, she loved to dance, be joyful, believed in magic, and, most importantly, herself. After the tragic loss of her father, she was told to act like all was normal and go back to her life as though nothing had happened. She never gave herself permission to grieve and kept the trauma buried deep within. Ashley numbed out by drinking and throwing herself into work and coped through people pleasing. It wasn’t until years later, when she was knocked on her butt with a major health crisis, that she saw the connection between her body and holding on to the trauma.

     

     

    Turning A Health Crisis Into a Gift

    After seeing 30 doctors from experiencing excruciating deterioration and pain, Ashley was finally referred to a physician who was able to diagnose her with Lyme disease. She started crawling back to herself and, for the first time, had the time and space to feel her feelings. This is when the healing happened, and she realized the power of processing her emotions and tapping into her authentic inner power and intuition. 

     

    A reminder to you, my friend, you can get unshackled from your fear of feeling challenging emotions and heal whatever trauma is in your past!

     

    Your Authentic Power is Your Intuition

    Trust is the key. It’s about learning to trust yourself, your body, and your intuition. Since her journey back to full health, Ashley has focused on how to reclaim her voice and help others to do so too. One of my favorite quotes was, ‘When I pay attention to my intuition, magic happens.’ Ashley has since reclaimed her magic and is passionate about being a support to anyone who wants to reconnect to their own inner magic. 

     

    Ok, and we did get a little (what you might call) ‘woo.’ One tool that has helped Ashley build a relationship with her father across the veil is through sacred writing. This is where you use journaling to talk to your passed loved ones by asking a question and inviting them to connect in. You then allow yourself to write without editing whatever comes up on the page. Today, Ashley has a beautiful relationship with her father, even though he is on the other side and not here physically. 

     

    Reclaiming Your Voice as a Life Coach

    In addition to being an award-winning journalist and publicity maven, Ashley went back to train as a life design coach in my Life Designer® Coach Academy, where she discovered her soul’s great calling. Today, Ashley is all about helping you to get unstuck to find your voice and then share it with the world through the media and other platforms.

    A Career Change at 40: Success Story with Kathy Batista

    A Career Change at 40: Success Story with Kathy Batista

    Meet Kathy Batista

     

    Kathy Batista is the go-to coach for midlife women. She believes midlife isn’t just based on age – it’s a phase of life and can be your best one yet! By tapping into your values and strengths, you can take aligned action to create purpose and joy, leading to that, often missing, sense of fulfillment. Now is your time!

     

    Having navigated midlife changes and shifts, Kathy offers guidance and compassion to women asking themselves, “Is this it?” or “What’s next?”. She enjoys sharing the tools of her growth with her clients and peers. With certifications in Life Designer Coaching, Thought Coaching, Quantum Time Technique, and Mindfulness Instruction, Kathy coaches women to discover their midlife magic through conscious healing and self-discovery. 

     

    A Career Change at 40

    Most of us are not raised in a society that values or gets excited about midlife. What started as a time in Kathy's mid 30's where she felt disconnected, unhappy, and lost ended up being one of the biggest gifts and wake-up calls. Maybe you can relate? Kathy, a mom of 4 boys, felt like she was walking on one of those walking ramps at the airport that wouldn't stop. She felt a lack of joy and excitement; worse off, she felt incredible shame and guilt for feeling this way when nothing was "wrong." Kathy was using and abusing alcohol, food, and shopping, all the while trying to fill a void that can't be filled with stuff. She realized she was lonely and despondent and found herself asking a big question that woke her up. Once becoming aware of her negative beliefs and stories, she realized that these could be the best years of her life. That midlife could be magical and a blessing, especially if ushered in an empowering and energizing way.  

     

    The Big Question That Can Lead to Your Breakthrough

    The question that Kathy sat with was, 'Is this it?' It's a question I think most of us at some point ponder and stay up at night wondering about. It's often the precursor to a wake-up call that, if treated with care, compassion, and sacred attention, can lead to a transformative pivot. This is what happened for Kathy. She realized in working with coaches and healers that there was nothing wrong, she had misplaced her soul in life, and it was time to reclaim it. Have you felt like you've misplaced your soul? Or perhaps, it feels like your greater soul purpose feels far away, murky and unclear? If so, my friend, read on and be sure to listen to this entire interview.

     

    How Life Coaching Changed Kathy's Life

    Kathy realized that she wanted to connect more deeply to her soul's purpose, passion, and meaning, and in wanting to explore this further, she found a coach who helped her to finally see her soul. I love what Kathy said about coaching: "It's someone who holds a flashlight for you so you can see into your soul." Kathy started to get curious about how her deeper wisdom could help guide her both in her own life and in helping other women find meaning. She realized that becoming a certified life coach would be a gift for herself and to all those she's here to serve. Realizing the power of coaching, both in being coached and becoming one, helped Kathy to let go of the excess alcohol, food, and shopping. She found what she had been looking for all along; her own inner wisdom -- which is what we call your 'You-est You'.   

     

    Why You Must Trust Your Intuition

    Trusting your intuition can take massive courage, patience, and practice. Kathy talked about how her intuition has now become her best friend. Kathy joined the Life Designer® Coach Academy certification program because of the sacred coach structure that focused on intuition and trusting your heart intelligence. What she's realized is that she can trust herself fully and that when you trust yourself at the deepest left, you are in flow with the Universe and open to being led in ways that are beyond your wildest imagination. Kathy leads with her intuition and has helped many to access and have faith in their inner guidance.  

     

    My favorite takeaways:

    •  Make your inner wisdom your bestie! Befriend your intuition and listen carefully to her.
    •  Nothing is missing; you have just misplaced your connection to your soul and higher self. She is always with you whenever you are ready.
    • Coaching is holding a flashlight up for someone else so they can see their soul and truest self.

    The Surprising Power of Coaching

    This is part one of a four-part series to share with you tools, techniques, practices, and ways that have helped me be and align with my 'Me-est Me', which will hopefully help you become your 'You-est You'. So much changed in my life (thankfully, for the better) after doing the deep, spiritual, soulful work on myself. While books are great, I needed support from trained professionals who could tell when I was stuck in an old story, shitty belief pattern, or just plain ol’ fear.

     

    After working with a life coach in 2010, I returned to school to get my master's degree in health and wellness coaching because I saw and experienced the healing effects (mind, body, spirit, and emotional healing) firsthand through this modality. Here, I’m sharing the life-giving and life-changing steps I now use with hundreds of clients and students worldwide.

     

    6 Easy Steps To Become A Life Coach 

    The 6 easy steps come from my proprietary SACRED coach approach, which I teach in great detail in my Life Design Coach certification program. Each letter stands for an integral step that can help you to be your best self:

     

    The 6 SACRED Steps:

    S - is about creating sacred safe space for yourself (and others)

    A - means actively listening with intention and presence, and awareness.

    C - this is about conscious communication and being sure that you are aware, awake, and non-reactive in your communication.

    R - is for reflection and learning how to hone in on what's really important to you and to others.

    E - is about engaging in powerful questions to begin looking for new possibilities and opportunities.

    D - is all about designing your dreams and goals with clear actions.

      

    Listen in with your inner ear, my friend, and when you feel a resonance or connection to something I'm sharing, I invite you to explore the concept or idea further to see if it might be just what your soul is looking for next. 

     

    One of the most important catalysts for real change is the power of questions and curiosity. 

     

    Here are some of my favorite life-changing questions I share in this episode to ask yourself to shift your perspective, beliefs, thoughts, and life:

     

    1) How is this happening for my best and highest good?

    2) What might be the biggest learning in this experience? 

    3) What is the most loving thing I can do right now? 

     

    As always, take what you like and leave the rest. :)
