The good, the bad, and the ugly.... solitude vs. loneliness

I learned the hard way that there is a very delicate line between solitude and loneliness. In the first few years of solitude that followed my divorce, I felt both. My children had grown and were in college, and I bought a bicycle and moved to a small apartment where I could bike to work. Riding around on my own felt empowering.... to be alone and not responsible for anyone else felt good at first.... but I didn't anticipate the crash. I am the kind of person who enjoys solitude. I am comfortable and often crave the comforts of being by myself. However, there was a moment on Christmas Day soon after my divorce that I found myself sitting on the couch at night alone.... and solitude had turned to bitter loneliness. My mother-in-law had given me one of those silly blankets with arms... a "snuggie", I think it was called. I curled up and wrapped myself in a cocoon-like hug and cried. Even though I had experienced some amazing and powerful law of attraction paradigm sh...

Why isn't the Law of Attraction working?

On a personal note, I have struggled with the things I discuss here on my blog and in my life. I started writing about the Law of Attraction ten years ago here on this blog and have been blessed to be able to be a student at the same time. Feeling tested, there have been unforeseen changes in my personal life as a result of the shift in consciousness. These changes have impacted areas of my life that are a part of  "healthy wholeness", such as health, relationships, finances, and career. All have taken a "hit" since writing about the Law of Attraction. As you can imagine, it sent me into a spiral of self-doubt. I felt like a fraud and stopped writing for a while. I had to go back to basics. I had to strip away years of thinking one way about life and through conscious effort and strength, I came back to a place of peace with the journey. Divorce was truly a test that I was not expecting. In many ways, my personal struggles reinforced the energetic connection I ...

Gratitude...again

You've heard it here. You've heard it there. You've heard it everywhere. GRATITUDE Yes, that old reminder to be thankful is so important to your energy balance and connection. Practice gratitude as a daily mantra... as you go about your morning, remember to be thankful for all of the little things in life. "Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances" -1 Thessalonians 5:16 For me, I like to practice gratitude as I wait for my teapot to boil in the morning. I look around me and start to be thankful for the little things in my kitchen. This gets my brain focused on looking for things to be grateful for. Then, I am thankful for each member of my family, my friends, my food, the things that make me laugh, etc. Gratitude is an exercise. It's like doing sit-ups. DO it. Just do it. I have much to be grateful for. This is a recent sunrise and I was lucky enough to be at the beach to capture a time-lapse.

Goal setting... thinking about adding retreats... thoughts, anyone? my own goals... gulp

I can't believe how the years have flown by since I started Energy Attracts.  Because of the fun and success of my vision board and goal setting seminars, and I am believer in the power of setting my own goals and vibrations in order to teach it...  I have decided to set my own intention and build upon my business in creating small retreats for just a few select people to work on spiritually based goal setting.  What I want: To travel to new and beautiful places with like-minded people who are seeking positive direction and guidance in setting goals and intentions. These travel itineraries will be pre-planned and include local eateries, yoga studios, and public outdoor gorgeous spaces like beaches, canyons, parks, cliffs, etc.  The curriculum will include vibration/spirituality based goal setting workshops complete with thought provoking homework designed to clear the path to success. I want our retreats to not only inspire but include fun aspec...

Dr. Emoto's work on the power of vibration and thought on water molecules

This might be one of my favorite things.... the times when science meets religion.  Dr. Masaru Emoto (google it... it is awesome) conducted many studies where different words were prayed into jars of water over a period of time. He then looked at the water molecules and discovered differences in shape and composition depending on the thought.  The results are amazing to me because the symmetrical and eye-pleasing molecules are lovely and artistic to look at while the negative and angry emotional words evoke chaotic molecules that seem malformed and disjointed (see image I found on the internet) "According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 30%” ( water.USGS.Gov , 2018)                             ...

Power of thought in healing

The first step in healing from any diagnosis is to stop giving it energy. For example, if your diagnosis is cancer or diabetes.... stop thinking about the disease. Start thinking about the healing. Vibration and thought are powerful things. Thinking about the diagnosis offers energy to the very thing you don't want. Picture in your mind the great power of your healing body washing over the cells that aren't working. Do this many times per day and every time a negative or fearful thought creeps into your head. DO NOT DISCUSS THE DISEASE WITH OTHERS Everyday, practice the art of meditation and visualization and imagine yourself perfectly healed. Give thanks. Believe the healing has begun. I encourage mindful thinking as part of a whole body healing program. This also includes movement, healthy and Whole Foods, and laughter.

Words for my dad this morning

This morning, as my Dad is settling into his diagnosis, I am trying hard not to control the situation and interfere with his plans for healing. I do, however, know that I have some of the keys to health and that is positive vibrations and active attitude and prayer.  Today, I texted him: Take ten minutes in one of your favorite places. Meditate on health. Do not mention the word cancer. This focuses your vibrations (prayers) on the cancer. Instead, align the great power of your being with the forces of nature that can create optimum health and believe that your body is creating it. Gods work is a scientific event. Your vibrations and connections to your ultimate goals is how it works. Take baseball as an example. When you focus on winning... you win. When u focus on worry, you strike out. Focus on health and be thankful for your good health. This vibration will make your body heal itself. Cancer is very curable without too much intervention. Please research other ways to strengthen...
