BLINDERS


Spiritual growth is an amazing thing. When I say "spiritual" what I mean is that complete package; mind, body, soul. To stretch yourself mentally and allow your filter to change, seeing others and various situations in a new light. Shedding smallness and inviting in the possibility of learning something new. Turning into the discomfort emotionally, and truly transitioning from a caterpillar into a butterfly.
Although I shy away from competition as a whole, I am often feeling competitive with myself. The old me vs. the new. Striving to be better than who i was yesterday. I've spent the last couple of years working my ass off internally, overcoming what I felt were unnecessary flaws and characteristics that held me back from fully being in life and with others. There were times in conversation when I would just wait for my turn to speak, but now I truly listen, hearing the other person's point of views and feeling their emotional stand point. Wanting to understand, learn, and connect. My world was a lot smaller years ago, being that I was always throwing a party of 1...self-centered, selfish, and clueless. Today, I take pride in the soul to soul moments and the real relationships that have taken shape because of my desire to push myself out of the cocoon that was once a thoughtless 20-something year old.
But what happens when those close to you fail to see your efforts? As if you will forever be "stuck" in their eyes? Almost feeling like some are simply just waiting for the "old" you to surface, often inserting that label where it doesn't even belong. How do we shed the frustration, hurt feelings, and constant desire to defend? #askingforafriend

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...
