In this video I share the importance of absorbing the sensuality that surrounds us as we enter into this new age of higher consciousness and the new birth of Planet Earth, marked by the historical date of December 21st, 2012

It took the wisdom of my dear wise friend and brilliant coach, Martina Parusel to help me create a shift that now has me feeling more joyful, free and inspired about what’s next, and it all happened when she asked me this one simple question, “What do you have the most fun doing?”

Such a simple question, but when you think about it, it is the true secret to happiness. It’s so obvious, but yet sometimes the obvious can be the thing we are most blind to.

She also reminded me that I have a strong background as an entertainer, and one of my best qualities is my playfulness, and my most valued and unique professional gift is the nature of the healing that I offer. This is the essence of my work. On the landing page of my website, I had been putting business coaching first and healing second. You see, I had it backwards. With my healing work in 2nd place, I had thrown the balance out of whack.

So, I changed the original Sensual Sage tag line of “Awakening Feminine Leadership”, to “Setting You Free to Thrive Playfully”. This inspired all new writing of the landing page of my site, and the new gift offer “Playful Awakening” that I’m in the process of creating this week. The joy, sense of freedom and laughing out loud that took place, as I made this shift was a sure sign that I had come into greater Divine alignment with my powerful truth and my ability to create a more powerful impact in the lives of others, and serve you more fully.

That’s when I realized, it wasn’t just me. So many people I meet are taking their career and their life far too seriously, to the point that they are trying to create from a place of density.  They’ve forgotten who they really are, and leading with the wrong foot forward.

How about you? Are you taking life too seriously? The true essence of your being is one of playfulness and joy. When you are in this state, your inner child is being activated, and you naturally and more effortlessly attract the abundance that you desire in both your personal and professional life.

When you turn yourself away from this truth, you go into fight or flight mode, your inner child retreats and becomes bored and shuts down, which can lead to depression, frustration or self-doubt.

Here are 4 steps to make sure you’re in alignment with your truth, and keeping your inner child alive, on fire and happy.

1. Write down what you have the most fun doing that also benefits the lives of others. If you are not already, make sure you are taking action to make this the primary focus of your work. If you have fun with it, chances are you are naturally gifted at it. If it benefits others, then there is a demand for it.
2. If something has you frustrated or feeling down, do what you need to do to release it: yell, scream, cry, beat up a pillow. Just get it out of your system. Express it, don’t suppress it or you’ll just drag out the process. Once released, then you can come back into a better feeling space. If it feels too intense to handle on your own, then find a rebirther in your area to help you with it. You can always contact me and we’ll find a way to get together so I can help you release the emotions holding you back, and come out the other side.
3. Take time every morning to self-nurture, align with spirit and do something fun and playful. You must give to yourself first, or you’ll have nothing to give to others.
4. Delegate the tasks that you don’t enjoy and are sucking away time from doing the things you love the most. You have to have a team to help you. Even if you start with one part time student to help you out to do the sorting of paper work, or help with your house keeping. It’s a small investment. The time you spend on what you have professional fun with is far more valuable and a better investment of your time. This will free you up to thrive in a much greater way both professionally and personally.

Life is supposed to be fun. Do what’s necessary to keep your work fun, release your frustration, take time to take care of you first and ask for help. When you are feeling in alignment and in a playful space, you have more energy, and have an irresistibility that others want to connect and work with.

Much love,

I have a question for you.  What are you doing to honor your journey?  How much time are you taking to just be still, look around, savor where you are right now in this moment, and breathe all that in?

You must take time for yourself, hear your inner wisdom, connect with your breath and your heart, nourish and nurture yourself, in order to expand and blossom into the fullness of who you are.

If you are in a stressful situation, savoring where you are may not be the first thing on your mind.  So, here are three steps to quickly take yourself into the space of being the eye of the storm, or the calm in the chaos…

1. Stand up and acknowledge where you are right now, breath it in, and do so from the position of the observer. When we’re too close to our own stuff, we can’t see as clearly.

Now imagine you can see yourself and the reality surrounding you from the outside looking in.  Physically feel yourself in the body of the observer. Using a photo of yourself to talk to will help.  Then, speak to yourself. Tell yourself what you see and feel from the outside looking in.

2. Now take a few steps and stand on a different spot, so you feel the shift in your body, and imagine that you are your ideal client looking at you. This is someone who really needs your help, and yearns for the gifts and solutions you offer through your business. As you imagine you are in the body of this person, speak to yourself. You will receive gems of wisdom from this.

3. Take a few steps and stand on a different spot, and just be still, breathe and ask your spirit for wisdom. Just focus on the sound of the breath in your body, and speak only when you feel compelled to.  Allow your higher wisdom to speak through in this moment, and trust what you receive.

You have a choice of how you respond to what you are experiencing.  The situation is what it is, that’s the reality.  Whether you respond from a place that is stressful, or from a place that is calm, the reality of “what is” does not change. However, the way your reality unfolds from this point on, depends entirely upon how you respond to it. Think of it as an opportunity to gain eternal wisdom. When you move forward with calm, wisdom is ultimately the immediate result.

A problem is only a problem if you make it bigger than you, and I know you are bigger than any problem that could come your way.

So Dear One, be sure to nurture yourself, and fill up your own cup first, then share what spills over in the saucer and you will never run out of fuel to continue making a difference and touching lives.

I’ll be in touch soon with some beautiful new beginnings to share with you.

Much love
