“Courage is the power to let go of the familiar”- Raymond Linquist This year I deemed as a year to be totally fearless, and act completely courageously in.2011. everything. I like to think that this year will be the beginning of many years of courageous living to come! Whose with me?! It‚s a year to shine folks! We all have a courageous spark inside of us that shines through, every so often, and pushes us to do some pretty cool things. Think of all the things you‚ve done to get to where you are right now ˆ may be it 

As I sat here and thought about the last post I wanted to share with all of you before the new year, the first thing I saw, in my mind, was a big heartfelt hug.  The holidays are such a magical time because we are able to spend time with the people whom we love the most.  Many of us get the chance to be in the presence of the people we love and to show them how much we love them- how powerful is that?! I always remind myself everyday to live from my heart. There is no anxiety, 

Lately I’ve noticed the difficulty many of us have with change. Change is inevitable when we grow up, when we age. Our minds and hearts are constantly expanding- we are continually having new experiences that broaden our horizons, force us to question our beliefs, lead us to new understandings, and turn us into the people whom we are meant to become. The real you is who you are, deep down, inside that body of yours. Who you are is a combination of your mind, body, AND spirit. It’s the person you become when you let your guard down, and you 

We’ve all read how important it is to eat organic, clean, food, yet sometimes it can be a bit expensive or a restaurant doesn’t guarantee that quality- type of food… so what do you do? Give your food a boost of light, of course! Everything is made up of energy. Our bodies are always vibrating at different frequencies depending on how we are feeling or what we are doing. When we are feeling sad, we are vibrating at a lower level, and when we are completely joyful, we are vibrating at a high level. This also relates to the food 

What is beauty to you? It seems that our society puts so much emphasis on beauty; all you have to do is walk down the street of a busy city and watch how your psyche is attacked by all of the photos, billboards, subliminal messages…but what is beauty really? Some people believe that beauty is skin deep and some believe it comes from deep within. I tend to go with the latter crew who believes that beauty is deep inside us.
Oh my goodness, if you guys could only realize how beautiful you are! YOU are beautiful, yes you- I’m talking 

The power of your mind is expansive beyond belief! Einstein once said, “imagination is more important than knowledge…” This is one of my favorite quotes because, in my eyes, imagination IS more important than knowledge if you want to create the life that makes you feel most fulfilled and happy. We were given an imagination for a reason- so let’s use it to bring us to a place of happiness, joy, and contentment. I’ve come to learn that your imagination is so powerful, you can use it to ease pain in your body and dissolve blockages and imbalances. Lucky for 

Have you ever felt a sudden alteration in your body such as a pain in your hand, a headache, or have felt “bummed- out” all of a sudden? Chances are, that feeling isn’t coming from you! This past year, I have worked with an energy healer and I’ve truly learned so much from her. There is one practice in particular that she taught me that I think everyone should know about, and try at least once or twice (hopefully you’ll stick with it for the rest of your lives). Think back to a time when you’ve been with a friend 

Have you ever met someone who instantly made you feel comfortable, inspired, or even drained?  What you are feeling is their energy! Each and every one of us has an Aura, an electromagnetic field that comes from within and surrounds us. It holds information about how we are feeling, our wants, our desires, and even our worries. Imagine yourself,surrounded by a big bright light that extends 2ft above, below, and beside you.  That’s your Aura. Not only are you a body, but you are also a big bright light – how cool is that?We are all made up of three things:
