I did it. I finally after years and years of watching demonstrations at Costco purchased the Vitamix. I’ll be honest. It was an impulse purchase that I can totally justify. You see, my digestion has been weird since I returned from India in February. In India, they had us on a very very aggressive Kundalini […]
I do a lot of Ayurvedic and life coaching. It never fails that a client will want to know from a spiritual perspective, “Why is this happening to me?” It’s a great question. Not wanting a client to dwell on the why, but the cure, I generally redirect explaining that the why is no […]
I have no idea what is going on in my head at this point. Seriously, it’s a big ball of mush. In the 21 stages we entered stage eight: Rasa. Rasa is the essence or juice of life. Digesting properly gets to the juice or essence. To be digested this week is the ego. Not […]
This week in my 120-day Spiritual Cleanse and in the 21 Stages of Meditation we move to the second leg of our three part journey. The next 7 weeks develops the expressive self. Your expressive self is how you are showing up for others. It includes showing up as a healer for others, delighting in […]
Recently I was given the opportunity to work with a coach. I’m a coach, I love to learn from others, I find I hold myself accountable to another better than to myself, and it isn’t like I don’t have my stuff to work on. So, I happily volunteered to be coached. All the questionnaires started […]
I was standing in my closet today and I realized that I have clothes I don’t wear because they need ironed. I don’t own an iron. This follows a conversation yesterday about dry cleaners. I don’t go to the dry cleaners. In fact, I won’t buy anything that needs to be dry cleaned because I […]
I’ll be honest. It’s hard to be your own personal coach and stay on track for a 120-day Cleanse. Food has become boring and my motivation is LOW on the physical level. So last night I forced my expanding buddhi into my yoga pants and went to Yoga for Weight Loss with Julie Smallwood. Julie […]
This week’s spiritual focus for the 21 Stages of Meditation moves onto the Crystallized Self. This is an interesting and complex concept. Crystallization is about becoming solid in ALL that you are. To date, what you are is the summation of all you have experienced. This is your current state of consciousness. If you are […]
They say that a mother is only as happy as her least happy child. As the mother of a 13-year old girl who is suffering from a bit of a broken heart, I can attest to that on some level. It’s interesting how the emotions and moods of another can affect your own. I’ll be […]
The spiritual focus for this week and for the 21 stages of meditation is Absorption. Interesting, absorption doesn’t really have to do with your thought process or meditation. It’s all about your ability to co-create with the Universe. It’s about manifestation and transformation and the ability to change yourself and your life. This topic is […]
Today I toured the Lindner Center of Hope in Mason, Ohio. They are committed to helping people with mental disorders including addiction, depression, eating disorders, anxiety, ocd, and more. I’ve had many participants of the Elemental Cleanse work with the Lindner Center adjusting their anti-depressants and recovering from addiction. Great work is being done there […]
I’m back from Telluride and of course every lovely retreat and getaway for me usually ends in coming home to chaos. I never seem to plan a day of regrouping after a trip and of course the universe always likes to throw small business owners a few wrenches. Telluride was an exceptional experience. It also […]
I am leaving the mountains of Telluride and have said goodbye to our fifteen guests, locked up the mountain dream palace, and am headed back to Elemental OM. All twenty of us agreed that this trip was beyond exceptional. I can’t remember having a better time, a better experience, and being with better people in […]
It’s 6 am in Telluride, Colorado and I have awoken in the most gorgeous house in the most beautiful place I have ever been in. I’ve arrived to the Telluride Yoga Festival early with my family to settle things in and prepare for my presentations before the rest of our group of 20 arrives. A […]
Yogis, Tomorrow morning I take off on a plane with my kids, my mom, my boyfriend, and his kids to connect with 16 other EOM yogis for our Telluride Yoga Festival getaway. I’m presenting there the Elemental Lifestyle series as well as teaching Kundalini Yoga every morning to all the festival participants. FESTIVAL>>> I’m super […]
This week’s spiritual focus is frustration and I happen to have a big one. Today frustration is presenting in the form of anger and irritation for me. I’m personally frustrated with technology and specifically with the way we communicate using technology. I’m a person who doesn’t like to email, doesn’t like to facebook, and doesn’t […]
It’s day 24. I’ve had my ups. I’ve had my downs. Some things have gone well. Some have not. Angels have appeared as well as demons. Stepping back from it all… I have been Conscious. That’s huge. I have not unconsciously done anything in the last 24 days…be it good, bad, or neutral. I am […]
Yogi Bhajan describes frustration as having the energy to do something, but not knowing what to do or having a huge outlet, but no energy. I suffer from frustration a lot. One day I’m full of great ideas and energy, but most ideas are so long term that I don’t get to see them immediately […]
