Follow Your Dreams and Let Spirit Guide You!

Tuesday, April 10th, 2012

I used to think that if I meditated, prayed and had a spiritual connection, everything would work out exactly how I visualized it.

My story was I ended up loosing everything I owned. I kept meditating, praying and visualizing and couldn’t understand why I was sleeping on my friend’s garage floor.

I didn’t understand why meditation + prayer = spiritual connection wasn’t getting me the results I wanted.

I thought I must have done something terribly wrong that I wasn’t aware of. I prayed to see the truth. I asked spirit on a daily basis why I was struggling but I remained stuck.

One day I sat down with my journal and the words that fell onto the page were “God, spirit, universe, why won’t you help me? Why are you punishing me like this?”

And then it struck me like a lightening bolt. I was angry at God, my spirit guides and how my life had turned out. I blamed spirit and wasn’t taking responsibility for any of my thoughts, feelings or actions.

It was an uncomfortable shameful feeling but the good news is that as I faced that irresponsible part of myself, my life began to improve fast.

Many steps I took, led to turning my life around and I’m sharing what springs from my heart, so that you can have a brighter and happier day.

#1 Look at your life differently. When you wake up in the morning, what are your first thoughts? Whatever you are thinking sets the tone for your day and how it will unfold. Start taking action from a place of consciousness. For example: When I awoke, I felt optimistic and wondered how I was going to achieve what I wanted. I had an internal conversation with that part of me. I told it that I was going to follow my dreams and wanted my spirit to guide me. All I have to do is take the action.

#2 Think of something you want and say, “Yes,” to it. Is it a deeply fulfilling relationship, financial security, a career change, perfect health or a peaceful mind? I started reading Loral Langemeier’s “Yes! Energy”. Instead of working yesterday, I took the entire day with my family. I was telling my husband about wanting to say, “Yes,” to my dreams at every level.

“Let’s look at houses,” my husband Nick said.

“Ok,” I said hesitant.

We pulled on to one of our favorite streets and there was an open house. Nick parked the car and said, “You go in first”.

“I don’t want to,” I said. That was a lie. I didn’t want to go in the house because we didn’t have the money in our bank account to buy it today.

“Go on,” he said.

I reluctantly got out the car and walked down the beautiful driveway. The house was everything I wanted. I loved this house. I sat down in a gorgeous leather chair in the screening room and allowed myself to feel at home.

“What did you think?” the realtor said.

“I love it,” I said.

“Ok, great, let me get your info,” he said.

I was about to tell him, “No,” and why and then I decided to play with the “Yes! Energy” Loral had inspired in me.

Our son Dominick was napping in the car, so Nick went into the house separately. When he came back out he said, “I sat down in this great leather chair in the screening room, it felt awesome”.

“Me to! It was the only place I sat down in the whole house, I guest that’s why we’re married,” I said smiling.

#3 Take counter-intuitive actions. For example: If you usually leap out of the bed in the morning and go straight to email, lie in bed a little longer and read an inspirational book and journal any “aha”. Mix up your daily routine. Do you always go to the same lunch spot or supermarket? Try somewhere new, so you can shift the way you see things. If you decline a potential business proposition or relationship, why are you saying, “No?”

I hope that you get everything that your heart desires and more because you deserve to have an amazing fulfilling life!

Love & miracles,

There is More to Your Life Than Meets The Eye!

Wednesday, March 14th, 2012

This morning I came across an article about online dating photos that were taken in front of a Holocaust Memorial. Was it disrespectful to take these photos here when there are so many places to take photos?

What thoughts come to your mind?

My mind jumped to judgment, shock and disgust. Having visited the Auschwitz museum in Israel and having been raised in a Jewish home, I felt the location of these photos was poor taste. However, as I continued to read the article, I saw that photographer, Marc Adelman had a different intention from what I had perceived; to think about our identity, politics and sex.

I’ve often heard people say, “Don’t talk about religion, politics or sex,” when you are at a social gathering and among motivational gurus, some have suggested this a major taboo at networking events. People are quick to look at the surface picture and leave it at that. A judgment is quickly formed and solidified.

How do you decide whether something is good or bad, right or wrong? At what point do you say, I like this person, I want to date them and change your mind to them not being The One?

Do you do business with people based on what other people have told you about them or because your intuition tells you it’s a good idea?

You are having a continuous stream of thoughts and these thoughts affect your ability to be able to feel and hear your intuition. You will not be able to receive intuitive guidance if you jump into the stream of thought and let it carry you. The key is to step into the stream of intuition and let it wash over you. You may find this confusing because both ideas put you in the stream of thought however there is a difference between the two. When you sense the variations of how you identify your thoughts and your attachment to them, you will start to have a whole new level of awareness.

Before I got pregnant, I rarely noticed pregnant women but once I got pregnant, I spotted pregnant women everywhere I went, and all things related to having a baby. You can take this same principle and apply it to your thoughts being focused on not being able to make money. If you believe you can’t make money, your environment will reflect that back to you and opportunities to generate income will not be in your vision, even if you affirm that you want to be financially abundant. I’ve seen some of my clients initially reject income-generating opportunities because of being carried downstream in a negative flow of thoughts, they couldn’t see the opportunity when it was presented. I had to point it out to them and then suggest a counter-intuitive action.

Even when you find the solution and you know the intuition is right, you often still ignore it. How many times have you said to yourself, “I should have trusted my intuition”. The reason you don’t is because you have practiced using the thoughts in your mind as a tool to make your daily decisions.

Daily Intuition Building Action:

  1. Watch your thoughts at intervals throughout your day.
  2. Write down a thought if you notice it recurring throughout your day. This will create enough distance for you to get out of the thought and form a new more aligned thought. For example: “I wish I hadn’t eaten that hamburger last night,” was a way for me to hate myself by criticizing myself. A fun thing became a guilty pleasure.
  3. Notice when you are forming an opinion about something. Is it a thought of acceptance or judgment? Are these your true thoughts or were they learned from someone else?

As you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings, your intuition will increase. You will be able to see your life from a higher plane of consciousness. You will have a deeper understanding of why people do what they do. You may understand someone else better than they understand themselves because you see clearly. You now know not to take on that person’s pain and resentments. This allows you to be the light that you are and keep shining!

Today is an opportunity to Spring Clean Your Mind. Remove the cobwebs from the past, gently but with intention. I created a guided meditation as part of Big Miracle Breakthrough specifically to Heal and Energize Your Mind Body & Spirit because I have seen many times for my clients and myself how energy that is invisible to your eyes, creates distorted thinking.

Obsession, Free Your Mind!

Monday, March 12th, 2012

I wish I wasn’t obsessed. I’d like to be free of obsession. I pray, I meditate, I journal, I’m a spiritual teacher, author, healer, business coach, entrepreneur and I still OBSESS.

This morning as I read spiritual literature at 6am, followed by journaling and then prayer as to what words of wisdom I should share today, the word “obsession” repeated itself over and over in my mind. Oh no, really? Shouldn’t I be perfect by now? Aren’t I meant to have everything figured out and be totally at peace and one with Spirit?

Today my friend Mastin Kipp called himself out on his blog The Daily Love. I love that he does this because it creates the opportunity for breakthrough, healing and a psychic displacement of unconscious energetic blocks.

This past weekend, I obsessed over how my husband was feeling, that I didn’t have enough time, and feeling personally rejected that someone didn’t text me back. Then when I finally let go, I felt happy and present, I realized that my mind creates an illusion that I don’t have enough time for relaxation and that person did text me back!

Obsession wastes a huge amount of energy. On a psychic level mental obsession looks like life force energy leaking out of your head in all directions. It leaves you feeling drained, tired, unmotivated and resentful.

If I hadn’t obsessed over the things that weren’t true, I could have felt more gratitude that I have a wonderful husband and how he feels in any moment is not a reflection of whether I did or didn’t do something right. I could have been totally present in my body, appreciating the beautiful blue sky and the sunshine as we drove down San Vicente Blvd in our clean car with my family, after having a lovely brunch in Pacific Palisades, CA, instead of having a foggy feeling in my mind. I could have felt peaceful and happy that I have fabulous friends, instead of looking for a fault because of me not feeling worthy of love.

This morning I wrote a list of things I want to do that are fun, joyous, creative, healing and loving. As I looked at my list, I noticed I’ve done many of those things but made up a story of suffering in my head. I’ve complained without reason because that’s what my mind does on autopilot, unless I use my intuition to pull out the weeds from my mind.

How is obsession affecting your life today? What have you been obsessing over?

Here are 3 spring-cleaning tools to detox your mind:

  1. Write down a list of everything you can think of that you’ve been obsessing over.
  2. Read over your list of obsessions. Next to each obsession, write down what your motivation has been for the obsession. For example: Get financial papers together for filing taxes. Reason for obsession: I’m scared because I don’t know how much tax I owe and I fear I won’t have enough money left.
  3. Focus on your intuition (inner teacher). Take a moment to close your eyes and bring your awareness into your heart. Feel yourself click with intuition. Then open your eyes and write down an action you can take to erase the mental obsession. The necessary action may be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual, also the step that you may be guided to take is to wait. The reason this happens is because you are not yet in correct spiritual alignment to be able to receive the download from spirit.

The great thing about this exercise is it works at a deep cellular level. You may have some resistance to doing it. You might only write down three obsessions because you’re denial isn’t ready to deal with the other thirty denials that are exhausting you! This healing exercise is here for you whenever you feel ready to detox from denial and create space for peace, happiness and an abundance of energy.

Spring Clean Your Soul and RSVP

Wednesday, March 7th, 2012

I love spring. It gives me a sense of hope and excitement. Where I have been focusing on the negative, I have renewed sight. Things that used to bother me, I see as miracles. People that used to upset me, I now see as spiritual teachers, that we had a sacred contract to fulfill.

Spring is an opportunity to clear away paperwork, get clear on finances and become more aware of what we put in our bodies.

I have a burning desire to talk about SMASH again. My husband and I were watching the fifth episode last night. There’s this scene where Ivy Lynn, the actress who is set to play Marilyn goes to see her director, Derek Wells. Ivy has had a few too many drinks and she shows up late night at Derek’s pad. Their exchange was awkward. She had felt humiliated by the way he had treated her. He told her, that it wasn’t personal, then asked her to stay the night. I wanted to scream at her, “Go home! Derek is no good for you, he’s a narcissist and you are damaged goods”.

I had been in Ivy Lynn’s shoes in the past. Let me confirm that I have never been on Broadway, singing is not my strength but I did have a relationship with a film director when I was an actress. This man was a classic narcissist but I didn’t see him as that. He pursued me for many weeks and the more I said I wasn’t interested, the more he chased after me. I didn’t realize I liked the attention, even though I wasn’t attracted to him and then one night, after we’d finished shooting the movie, we met up for a late night dinner and I said to him “It’s never going to happen”. I believed with every part of my soul that nothing was ever going to happen because my intuition told me from the day I met him that this was a dangerous man, not to be trusted.

Later that night, our relationship began to my absolute surprise, however if I’d been giving myself a psychic reading, it would have been totally apparent that I was about to play with fire. I was in serious denial. As the relationship progressed, I became obsessed with what he thought of me and what he was doing. It was the unhealthiest, toxic type of love and it meant that I couldn’t focus on my work. Everything I did was with the desire to get his approval and so the deal I had with a big TV network fell through and I felt like a victim of Hollywood, used and abused.

Now I can look back and see that this director didn’t do anything wrong. He was being himself and I was set on changing him. My big time talent agency weren’t trying to screw me. I was naïve and didn’t know my worth. Today, when I feel the past pull me backwards, away from the blessings in my life today, I am aware that psychic healing needs to occur. As we form relationships, whether they are romantic, business, friendship that an energy connection is made at a soul level and this energy is connected throughout time and space.

Your past affects your present and your present impacts your future. Where is your mind during the day? Is it focused on a betrayal in a relationship? Is there anything from your past that is affecting the way you make decisions today? If you say no, you are not looking deep enough.

Today is an opportunity to Spring Clean Your Soul. Remove the cobwebs from the past, gently but with intention. I created a guided meditation as part of Big Miracle Breakthrough specifically to Spring Clean Your Soul because I have seen many times for my clients and myself how energy that is invisible to your eyes, impacts your life today.
