RE-THINKING IT


I love being an entrepreneur. I loved it especially up in New York. Becoming a little mini fitness guru was the easiest and most rewarding career to date. It was so exciting to move South and take that to the next level by incorporating more of what I was truly passionate about; Wellness. I dove head first into the world of Eastern medicine and absorbed as much as I could, while also invoking many of my natural abilities. Reiki and Life Coaching became a beautiful addition to teaching women to Dance during Hip Hop Cardio Classes. Mind, Body, and Soul. A career all by itself!
Sadly, the entrepreneur life has me feeling stuck and frustrated. I often feel as if I am spending more time convincing other's rather than inviting. I've even caught myself defending my own belief system against those who saw Reiki as anti-religious. I am not a pusher or a born sales-man. I do not wish to force things onto others. In fact, that way of being saddens my spirit. I believe in connectivity, inspiring empowerment, and leading with a pure and positive heart. However, I am growing exhausted with "chasing money." Maybe it's the South. Maybe it's living in a military town. Or perhaps, neither. Maybe it's simply the Universe's way of inviting me to alter my own perception.
I used to watch those around me working their 9-5 jobs and hating them, often daydreaming about the moment they can retire and finally be able to "live their lives." That never made sense to me. Life is now! I vowed to be happy every day, no matter what. To never be a slave to money or feel trapped in anyways. Today, I reflect....
Has my system of "sticking it to the man" truly worked? In the last 4 months I took 2 trips to NY to visit my family, and both times, someone else paid for that plane ticket. I feel embarrassed and defeated. I am 33 and have little to show for it. My dreams of opening and running a Wellness Center are very real, but not as real as reality. I am currently standing at a fork in the road and re-thinking about it all. I tell myself that I am not quitting, but merely hitting the pause button. Sometimes I believe it. Either way, be it failed efforts or an unfit community, I think that it may be finally time that I grow up and clock in.
I shall continue to ponder over this new point of view.....

REIKI vs. READING

As my Reiki practice continues to grow strong, I find myself more than ever, hyper-focused on the client in front of me. My intent is not just to help them feel more at ease, relaxed, and tranquil, but to assist them in unblocking any old energies that may be stuck and hindering their natural, healthy, organic energy flow. I aim to clear away old emotional baggage, balance & activate their main Chakra points, and leave them feeling refreshed and recharged. ( My favorite is the white light bubble of protection....but that's another blog.) (((wink))) This past weekend, after a session with one of my Reiki clients, I could not deny the overwhelming sensation of depletion. I felt exhausted in a way that I have not felt during other sessions. After crashing into a full afternoon nap, I woke with curiosity and reached out to a couple fellow Reiki Practitioners for advice.One conversation really struck my soul and changed my perception, permanently... Since day 1, almost a year ...

WHERE DO YOU RESIDE?

There is this place called "All-About-Me-Ville" and it's growing population is astounding. I should know, I was nestled there for years. I lived right on the corner of Self Ave. and Centered Drive. (LOL) Okay, so you see where i am going with today's blog. Here's the real deal - I moved out of that zone about a year ago. It took several steps for me to officially awaken and grasp the concept of what life would be like if I took a bow on the stage of lif e and allowed the spot light to shine onto someone else's performance for a while. Truth be told, it was the most freeing sensation I have ever experienced!!!! The irony today is that I run into individuals that still patrol those streets on the daily and I cannot help but bounce back and forth between dumbfounded and frustrated. Not sure if you're one of the residents? Or perhaps you wonder if you have crossed paths with a narcissist? Here is how you can tell: 1) Do you find yourself having to repeat...
