So when you look at your life what do you see or feel is missing or is there something you want to change about your life.  Maybe you’re stuck in old energy or thoughts or think that if you leave a relationship you won’t be able to make it on your own.

Could be that you just have a feeling that something is wrong and that possibly you’ve been looking in the wrong area of your life to try to fix something and it has nothing to do with what you thought it was at all.

A lot of times we get stuck in our lives and we’re not sure where we should start to look.  Some of us look at our mates and say.  “It’s their fault I feel terrible.”    When it is really something about us that is the real culprit to life seeming hard or relationships a real pain to be in.

When we look inside to try to understand and ‘fix’ our lives there is so much that has gone on in our lives that we can’t sift through all the history.  This history is comprised of emotions, judgements, punishment and dis-ease and  way to much to truly understand what it is all about.

To be able to wade our way through all of this history requires a lot of work.  Some of us journal our way to understanding ourselves and moving on beyond the life we’ve lived so far.  Others go to counselors to work through our baggage.   Suggestions and tools become our way of fixing our selves.

Another way is to actually look at the energy system that surrounds the energy body and find the energetic pictures, emotions and experiences that make up who we are.  We are a product of every thing that we see, feel, hear, touch, and smell.  We create our belief systems on other’s beliefs.  Making it hard to really understand who we are and what exactly we are experiencing.

After many years we begin to shut down.  We decide that what we have right now is enough.  And the years slide by in the same patterns, and depression and disbelief.

When we decide that we don’t have to live in old belief patterns and emotions we can really shift our life.  Instead of being the product of our past we can be the creator of our future by actively looking for change.

Get a reading and healing on the blocks in your energy system and live the life you came to live this lifetime.

I’m writing this post because so many well-meaning, conscious, spiritual people are missing some significant information and tools when it comes to Law of Attraction and being a conscious cocreator of your life with Spirit.

One of my wonderful Facebook friends recently wrote a post:

“If you examine your history, you cannot help but repeat it! Law of Attraction says it is so:

‘Whatever I am looking at, I am including in my vibration.’ — Abraham”

This sparked a controversy with 19 people weighing in, many fully agreeing and many others, myself included, objecting to this as an oversimplification and stating that, even though it is true that our focus does permeate our vibration and thus create, it is actually NECESSARY to understand and heal our past in order to learn what we need to from it and be able to truly free ourselves from its hold on us and move on into something even better.

We have to put our attention on our intention BUT if we are not aligned strongly and consistently enough with our intention, if we are trying really hard to make it happen but it’s just not working, that’s a sure sign we need to do some inner healing work before we do any more manifesting and attracting and creating. It’s inner, not, outer time, first.

I feel so strongly that so many New Age, metaphysical folks are so hyped up about positive thinking and “just focus on what you want,” they are missing something vital:

For most people, with most long-term issues, simply striving to be positive and focus on their intentions is NOT enough to bring about the desired results. We need to learn from our past, and use that wisdom to create our best future, while living in and enjoying the present.

So here I go on my soap box again.

The Abraham work and all the other good Law of Attraction stuff out there is not intended to be interpreted as “Ladeeda, we can just be positive 100% of the time and only good things will come to us. All that yucky stuff from the past – I’m done with that now and all I have to do is think good thoughts and I will attract all my desires. Abracadabra!”

So allow me to bust that myth and empower you with a much more in-depth and practical approach:

1- Our past is important. Just as our current emotions are indicators of the distance between where we are at and where we want to be, our past is one of our teachers as well. We can – and indeed need to – turn our wounds into wisdom. Some of our life experiences we may label “good” or “positive,” we feel we were successful and these we can apply to continue to utilize and build upon what worked for us, while the so-called “negative” experiences or failures are also useful in several ways.

For one thing, we can clarify more clearly what, exactly we DO want by contrasting it with what we do NOT want anymore. This applies equally well to health and lifestyle choices, work, home, community, as well as relationships.

Secondly, we can learn psychologically and spiritually: What was my lesson in this?

Thirdly,we can discover, with proper reflection, which may include prayer, meditation, journaling, counseling, or even insightful conversations, that there was truly a silver lining, a gift in every experience we have had. Sometimes we don’t see it at the time, it feels horrible, we may even be devastated that that relationship or career didn’t work out, that we had that disability or lost our house, but ultimately, when we see through the eyes of Spirit and Love, we will always find that everything happened for a reason and we can find something to be grateful for, even if it’s just the ability to make a different choice next time.

2- Until we learn our lessons from the past, we are going to UNCONSCIOUSLY repeat them. This is true of humanity when we look at larger societal choices as well as on the personal level. Ignoring our past and zapping it like it didn’t even happen is not the solution. In fact, ignoring our past and stuffing it over there, oh, that’s too messy, I don’t want to deal with that right now, does not free us from it, it actually dooms us to repeat it.

3- The Abraham work says that our DOMINANT thought is the one that runs the show, and I agree with this. The catch is: Our dominant thought is seldom a conscious thought, so we cannot expect to simply push a button and “There, I’m only going to think good thoughts, feel good feelings and make good choices from now on.”

We have to heal all those billions of subconscious beliefs that we are carrying around which arose out – what? Our past experiences and programming, of course.

I do agree that many people spend far too much time simply repeating their “story,” which actually keeps them stuck in it and keeps giving it energy. There is a big difference between looping an old version of a reality we no longer want, whining about it, being a drama king/queen, vs. actually being willing to visit the past (with support if necessary) with the intention of looking in the mirror, releasing what no longer serves, with forgiveness, finding the lesson and gift in it, and moving confidently forward into a better life we are creating for ourselves, from the inside out.

Do we need to look at our past? Absolutely.Do we need to keep telling it over and over? Absolutely not.

4- We need to process stuck emotions. Sometimes we need to move some rage. Shake off some old energy. Sometimes we need to express ourselves to someone, forgive, be forgiven, and it doesn’t matter if they’re alive or dead or whether their human self is willing to hear a word we are saying. We just talk to their Higher Self, soul to soul. We look in the mirror and show them a mirror as well. I have an extensive guided meditation and energy healing journey that I guide people through called the Healing Past Relationships Journey (soon to be available as a CD/MP3 audio) which facilitates this soul-to-soul communication, energy exchange, forgiveness and healing. Or you may be able to do it for yourself, perhaps by writing a letter or through ceremony. We need to visit our past just enough to learn from it and to heal it, not rehash it or keep talking about it for decades.

We also need to forgive ourselves. And forgive God!

The work I do as an energy healer, intuitive, hypnotherapist and life coach focuses on identifying the current condition of your Body, Mind, Heart and Soul and creating a complete, intuitively guided healing program that empowers you to remember who you really are, to love and heal yourself completely, and to clarify your vision and reawaken your passion, power and life purpose — to create the life and love of your dreams. I am a Law of Attraction coach, and people often begin working with me when they realize (see with Real Eyes) that they are working so dang hard on themselves, have been for years, yet something is still stuck. They are willing, finally, to do what it takes to really succeed, so we go places, often in the first session, that completely amazes them.

5- We need to heal core issues and heal on all levels.

For example, some of my recent clients have improved their relationships, found lasting love, launched their heart-centered business, created more harmony in their parenting or other family relationships…..In every case, we needed to do some deep CORE ISSUE healing at the level of the SOUL and the ENERGY FIELD, the kind of healing that is more difficult to do by one’s self when we are emotionally caught up in our “stuff,” scared, frustrated and depleted.

I do sometimes have clients who try to turn the sessions into talk therapy and keep going on and on about their problems. They are stuck in their story. So I ask them, “Do you want to talk about it or do you want to heal it?” If they keep wanting to talk about it, they are not ready for the kind of healing I do. If they want to heal it, I can help them heal themselves but we have to go much deeper than just talking. Deep omnidimensional energy healing at the soul level i.e. soul retrieval, regression, rebirthing, hypnotherapy/NLP, ceremony, forgiveness work, can be extremely helpful, especially if a person is unable to break free of an old belief/energy. We shift the energy & belief at the original cause and core. I channel empowering self-healing techniques they can do on their own to continue the healing and keep building the positive energy.

We don’t ever have to be 100% healed, nor is that even possible so long as we are human. But we need to be healed enough to be free to focus on what we do want, move forward and create from an aligned, clear, positive state of being and love.

6- ALIGN, ATTRACT, ACT.

People so caught up in the Law of Attraction who simply read a few books, go to a few workshops, watch a couple of movies, often fail to understand that trying to get into ACTION mode before you are ALIGNED does not work. Law of Attraction works – once we are aligned with our desires. If some part of our subconscious mind or energy field is still playing the tape of a limiting, negative belief, we are not going to be able to just attract what we want, no matter how many affirmations we say or vision boards we make!

7 – I want to make one more point about the past and this concept of time. We can only live in one time: the present. We need to heal and learn from our past and draw upon its power, we need to envision and align with our best future, and yet we can only live right here, right now. All times exist in this moment of choice: now.

I personally feel we need to spend MOST of our attention right here, where we live. In this body. On this planet. Enjoying this life to the fullest. Mindful. Heartful. Soulful. Bodyful. Beautiful! When we work with the concept of time as fluid and simultaneous and quantum rather than linear, we find that every moment is a portal home.

We can also change our past shamanically, redream it. This helps us create our best future as well. This can be done through shamanic trance healing and/or conscious dreaming.

We each have the power to facilitate miraculous healing and success beyond our wildest imagination. We don’t have to spend years healing the past. We can heal it in an instant, or it may take several months or longer, but if we go deep enough and work at the level of the soul, core beliefs and original causes, the quantum and cosmic fields and on all levels, if we do this work with a vibration of love for ourselves and all beings, we will grow into being who we came here to be.

I love the Abraham work but sometimes a phrase taken by itself does not present the complexities of the spiritual nature of the Universe. True healing and conscious creation of our lives will always involve navigating the territory of our past with loving kindness and forgivness, with an open mind and a willingness to learn and grow so we can create an even better future. And we can do this today.

Some bits of life from my iPhone…

I find it funny, after all the arguments and mini breakdowns the whole group had.

Nothing changed? Nothing got fixed? everyone spent so much energy because they were so sick of each other that in the end it all just got swept under the rug.

No one took responsiblity for anything, and everyone just accepted the change.

Something that i didn’t want to accept, something i refused to do, but had no choice too.

I find it hard trying to accept that people i once loved, i can’t even look in the eye, people who i thought would always be there have changed into people who i have lost all and utter respect for.

But i guess we all realised, we actually all did, and because i was the only one willing to voice my opinions you all said i changed? you all said i was the problem.

Because of him, he was the only one you could blame, because i had done nothing wrong. You blamed him, and how his been having such a negative effect on me. Is it because i’m walking around happy? is that what it is, because your all so not used to seeing me happy, seeing me actually feeling positive.

And as i told Madee the other day, the number one rule of the group.

“They go down, you go down with them.”

But this time i’m afraid, i can’t go down with youse, i can’t support you all in your journey of self-destruction, i told myself i never would go back there.

I would disappoint so many, if i did, I don’t want to let any of them down.

So this is why i have been making them decisions to slowly drift away, especially with her, you know i shouldn’t have forgiven her for what she did to me. Even if i was wrong, she still should have been the bigger person and walked away. But i guess i’ll give her points with following through with her revenge and jealousy. I try and support her still because i feel guilty, too much has been said and done to leave her but too much has been said and done not to. It’s not the same though, it never will be, i guess i’m just going to leave that dilemma for now, i have been wasting too much energy on it. But i cannot accept her apology.

And as for him, I suppose it’s all good now, i have realised it’s his life and i can’t tell him how to live it, i knew our fight wouldnt last for long, our fights never last for long. I guess it was my fear of change. It was my fear of accepting that i will have to let people go in life, not because i want too but because i have too. 

It’s all bullshit anyway, it always is.

Today Me, Marty and the Black Devil…

Los dos partidos de ayer nos dejaron una de las jugadas del año, y seguramente la mejor de lo que va de temporada. Primero la jugada y más abajo la crónica:

El supermate no sirvió a los Heat para ganar a Cleveland, pero es un regalo a nuestros ojos. Vamos con el análisis estadístico de la minijornada de ayer:

Destacados

• LeBron James: 34-4-7, 2 triples, 2 robos, 1 gorro, 16/18 en libres y 2 balones perdidos. Su lunar: 8/20 en campo. Jugón!!
• D.Wade: 36-4-5, 3 triples, 2 gorros. Un supermate
• A.Bynum: 26-15-1, 3 gorros, 13/18 en campo. No hizo libres (0/3). Candidatura al AllStar, buenos tiempos para él sin Pau
• Michael Beasley: 24-6-0, 2 triples, 2 robos, 1 gorro, 9/17 en campo y 4/4 en libres. No perdió balones e hizo un partido de los que se espera de él
• Kobe: 29-4-4, 13/21 en campo. Sólido
• Mo Williams: 25-4-3, 5 triples y 10/15 en campo. No perdió balones, y es el falso base más productivo de la liga
• JJ.Hickson: 18-4-1, 7/9 en campo. Titular
• Odom: 8-12-7, 1 robo, 1 gorro, 4/5 en campo y 0/2 en libres. Un tío de su prestigio debería intentarlo más
• Jermaine O?Neal: 15-9-0, 2 gorros, 5/5 en libres. Decente

Vaya día!!

• Mal día en tiros: Amare Stoudemire (2/15) hizo quizás el peor partido de su historia. Se está estancando.
• Mal día para Goran Dragic, con 1/7 en campo y 2 pérdidas
• Ron Artest (0/4) y Q-Rich (0/5) no triplearon
• Varejao tiró 1 vez a canasta. Después de ver volar a Wade sobre su rizada cabeza se acojonó
• Nash: 0 rebotes en 24 minutos
• Beasley: 0 asistencias en 38 minutos

Nuestros premios:

• Los “Concha Velasco”: 4 pérdidas para Wade, Kobe y Mo Williams
• Los “Zapatilla de Oro”: 21 lanzamientos a canasta para Wade y Kobe
• EL “Mario West”: Darnell Jackson jugó 8 segundos en sus Cavs….complicado futuro
• El “Benito”: Quentin Richardson se lleva el galardón ya que la suma de gorros y robos (1) supera a sus puntos ayer (0). Colosal Q-Rich
• Hoy no hay premio “Seleapareciólavirgen”…pero Beasley ha hecho méritos

La pregunta del día:

• Victoria 1.084 de Phil Jackson como entrenador NBA con la que empata con un entrenador todavía en activo en la 5ª posición histórica de la NBA. ¿Con quién ha empatado “tío Phil”??

and thankful for any small event.

- Rumi

This month we all come together with loved ones and devote our awareness for a few hours to thankfulness. Perhaps your family, like mine, will join hands and take turns sharing what each one is grateful for, today and over the past year. And whether you have a formal or informal practice of expressing gratitude at your Thanksgiving table, I’m sure you feel the energy of gratitude throughout your celebration.

But why do we reserve a mere one day a year for this? I propose we make every day a day of giving thanks. Oh, we don’t have to stuff ourselves with stuffing and gobble down turkey…Somehow I think the original intention of the holiday, gratitude for the Earth’s bounty, for peaceful, harmonious coexistence, for life itself, has gotten lost in all the gluttony and football games.

Let’s remember the true spirit of Thanksgiving, not only on the holiday, but throughout our lives. To be full of greatness, we must be grateful.

We must laugh and

We must sing.

We are blest by everything.

Everything we look upon is blest.

- William Butler Yeats

So why should we practice gratitude more often? Here are 5 good reasons:

1. You will feel happier.

When we focus on how full our cups already are, we experience life in a much more positive way. Most of us in this country do not have cups that are half full, half empty, as the saying goes. Our cups are 90% full! Look around you. Look within you. How full is your cup? The Universe is showering blessings upon you each and every day, each and every moment, and we can choose to see and appreciate these gifts or remain unconscious, cranky and unfulfilled. Enough cvetching already! Do you want to be (more) happy? Gratitude is the fastest, most effective way to increase your personal sense of joy about the life you are already living.

2. Gratitude facilitates more harmony in relationships.

Expressing gratitude and appreciation to the people in our lives, of course in a sincere way, from the heart, improves our relationships. As a relationship coach, I have seen that the simple practice of focusing on the positive and expressing true appreciation can dramatically improve marriages, friendships and even work relationships.

This doesn’t mean you have to “suck it up” and put up with being disrespected or abused. If your relationship brings you more pain than joy, you will need in-depth counseling and much more than just a “focus on the positive” bandaid. But for most generally healthy relationships, sprinkling more “Thank you so much for doing that!”s and “I really appreciate…”s, expressing the love in your heart can do wonders.

Many of us take so much for granted, particularly from the people we love the most. Everyone needs to feel seen, heard and valued and this enhances intimacy and emotional safety, bringing you closer.

3. God/The Universe will bestow more blessings upon you. I don’t claim to be in charge of the Universe, but it is a universal spiritual law that the more thankful we are, the more blessings we receive! It’s as if remembering to say “Thank you!” opens the faucet of life’s blessings. I truly have noticed that it’s more than just being more aware of what is already present; there is, over time, an actual increase in things to be thankful FOR.

What you think about, and thank about, you bring about. – Dr. John Demartini

Perhaps our Creator appreciates being appreciated, just as we do, and is more inclined to give more of the good stuff to us when we really appreciate what we get. As Neal Donald Walsch, author of Conversations with God, says, the correct prayer is one of gratitude.

There is an old Jewish proverb that goes like this. Two men, equally poor (or equally rich, depending on your perspective) meet in the village. The first man says, “So how is it going with you?”

The second man replies, “Oy! Life is terrible. My wife is sick, my cow won’t give milk, and business is lousy.”

God, hearing his response, thinks “Why you ingrate! I just gave you a new house, healed your ulcer, and found the best husband for your daughter. So you think things are bad now? I’ll give you something to complain about!”

Finally, the second man stops his kvetching and asks the other fellow, “What about you?”

“Well, I tell you, life is so good.  We fixed the leak in my pipes so now my house is dry again. I had a nice Sabbath with my wife and children, a humble meal, but we are together. My horse, well, his leg is still broken but he’s such a good friend to me, and I know business will pick up soon,” his neighbor replies.

God smiles and thinks, “So you think things are good now? I’ll give you something to be thankful for!”

So whether you think of the source of blessings as God, the Universe, or your own intention, gratitude is an essential key to loving your life, and it opens the door to greater and greater blessings, creating a positive spiral that continues to build.

Here is a wonderful message I channeled for you from Archangel Michael:

G O D =   Gratitude Opening Doors!

As William Blake said, “The thankful receiver bears a plentiful harvest.”

4. You will also receive more of what you want from the people in your life.

Of course, this applies on the human level as well as the spiritual level. Have you ever had a friend of family member that you gave gifts to, but who never remembered to thank you? Didn’t you feel after a while, “Hey, why should I bother giving them anything? They never even appreciate it.” And after a while, you feel resentful and stop giving them gifts, am I right? I thought so. Therefore, when we appreciate what we receive, whether tangible or intangible, from others, we actually receive more because we are give-to-able. We receive with an open heart and open hands, with a smile. People love to give, and there is a great gift in being a giver, but only when we sense that the gift is truly received and appreciated.

It’s important to receive graciously, compliments and favors as well as physical presents.

How well you receive compliments symbolizes how well you receive love.

Practice being a wide receiver. – Alan Cohen

If you tend to argue or inwardly doubt it when people praise you, you have some deep self-love work to do. If you have been a “giveaholic” your whole life, or if you have a hard time believing in your own worthiness,or just feel disconnected from your joy, I suggest you get The Radical Self-Love Workbook, a complete course in deepening unconditional self-love, deservingness and creating the life of your dreams, from the inside out! (It also makes a wonderful holiday gift for someone you love who needs to love themselves and their lives more.)

5. It’s just plain polite. Courtesy. Etiquette. Manners. It’s the right thing to do. It also sets a good example for others, of all ages. ‘Nuf said.

So join me this month and always in cocreating a more positive life experience for yourself and our community by making every day thanks-giving!

In my next post, I will share 8 Great Ways to Boost Your Gratitude Attitude! (I guarantee there will be several you have never heard of before, new inspirational ideas for really living gratitude as a daily practice.)

By Sage Taylor Kingsley-Goddard

The news came just days before the trip to Perth. Grandpa from Malaysia, Mom’s Dad, had been admitted to a hospital. It didn’t come as a shock to the family. The old man has more health problems than any surviving 90 year old could ever have. Multiple organ failure, hypertension, heart disease to name a few. It just got worse this time; a stroke. A stroke that would affect his logical sensibility and his speech. He no longer understands what is he trying to say and to make things worse depression had crept in onto him. The old man I knew was always the cheery sort, full of jokes, full of shit. Now, he felt like he’s never ever going to get out of the dreaded HDU (also known as the High Dependency Unit) or even the hospital. He felt like he’s losing his war. The old man was crying. Who wouldn’t at this frailty?

An eight-hour drive was planned and the lot rock up at the hospital searching for answers. Why and how did this happen. They probably knew what the hell went wrong but truth and reality is always a bit harder to digest. The specialist gathered the family and started explaining the old man’s condition in the simplest way possible. He’ll recover from the stroke in 3 months or so but it all depends on his will and determination. He’ll be discharged as soon as the test results are out and are all okay. Tears run endlessly down the faces of his wife and daughters. To witness him at his weakest is just heartbreaking.

Then comes the question amongst the children. Who is going to take care of him? J has an autistic child and problems of his own so he cannot be looking after him. D is cast away from the family the very day he married his demonic wife who swore to tear him apart if he ever gets near his family ever again. B is partially paralyzed and at a nursing home so he’s out too. R seems to be the only reliable kid in the family with the ability to take care of the old man. Its not as though he had a choice and he hates the fact that when things screw up he’s always the only person to bear responsibility. He too has a family to feed and why does he have to be the one to take care of him?

This is the problem with the family. When shit goes down, no one wants to be responsible for it.

———————————————————————————————————

It was 6ish in the morning at the arrival hall at Perth International Airport. The fatigue had started to kick in after not having sleep for more than a day. It was nonetheless the best feeling ever; to breathe and to live Perth.

Picked up the car from the car park and drove off to a nearby shopping mall. Windows down, triplej locked, nothing could possibly go wrong. Spring breeze hitting gently on the face. What a feeling. It felt like home. The familiar scent in the air, the familiar landmarks and buildings. Yup, everything was pretty much the same. Just how it was remembered.

Thirteen days were not long time but all of it were well spent at Perth. It wasn’t much sight seeing. This trip was planned just for catching up with mates and taking some time off work. It was awesome awesome awesome time.

Hung out with many friends this year and its nice to know that they’re all alive and well. Its hard to believe that we are still in touch after having graduated from university for so many years. Friendships do last a lifetime no matter where you are; all it takes is a bit of effort. So mad respect to you lot.

Shout out to Yanuss, Josie & G, Jeff, Rizzmo, Ricki, Xtian, Stv, Phil & Paul, Lee, Kevo

It was a great trip, see you next year Perth
And fellas, remember to keep it real
Until the next time we meet again

Me and N8 made some new friends – and some new enemies…

Ate some oishii mango…

Found another rat in my room…

Still sleeping…

Said sayoonara to Japan-land in style…

Thanks to some friends, of course.

Came back to Oz and the Wizard of Wol setup a little Serpy soirée…

Went to Franga and hung with my dawgs

Unleashed my inner tradie…

And built a deck with Dad…

Played the most and realised my wurth…

And got back to my roots…

Let the Summer Rubbin’ begin!

You wouldn’t believe how bad the weather is here. It’s cold, which is not surprising, but the rain is falling almost every day. I think I prefer snow. Sure, then it’s really cold outside, but, at least, it’s not so humid all the time and you can have some sort of fun outside.

I know you’re eager to hear what happened with my ex, and my friends from the USA.

My ex (let’s name him Joe) is having girl troubles. He loves his girlfriend (let’s name her Jane), but he met a girl (she’ll be Anne), and they hit it off. Jane is having some troubles too. Her ex (it’ll be best if he’s John) wants to be with her.  So Joe and Jane are in the same position, so they decided to do something I don’t approve at all. They are going to be with Anne and John. They are going to make themselves feel better and they are going to get back together.

And this Joe, he’s like the dumbest person in the world. Who ever he dates, after a while he wants a break. If you’re with someone then you don’t do breaks. It’s either a break up or you stay together. I don’t think Jane is too bright either… I get sooo mad when someone does that.

Nikki had a strange question few nights ago. She asked me am I bisexual. She didn’t know that I have been fighting myself about it. I like boy and I can imagine myself with a boy, but the fact is that I notice the girls too. So far I haven’t imagined myself with a girl, but I tried and I found out that I could do that. So, know I’m confused. I’m not sure what to think. I don’t think gay people are right, but then again I’m bi. That makes me a hypocrite, and I don’t what to be that. I’m tearing apart…

She also asked me something else. She asked me do I want to be in a polyamorous relationship. At first, I wasn’t sure what to think. She’s been trying to rip my head off, when she found out that I have been talking to Luis, but now she wants to be with me. I’m not sure what to think about that too. In the end I told her yes. So know I have a boyfriend and a girlfriend. This is making my head spin.

Another news.

I think I’ll be putting up a new page where you could read my novel. I might not be posting there very frequently as I’m going to have to translate parts of my novel. I’ll probably post small bits of my chapters as I doubt that I could translate it all in a short time. And I’m rewriting all that I have done so far, so I’ll be busy with that too.

Another nicole celeb!!

Sage, Law of Attraction & Success Coach

Welcome to my Sage’s Wisdom Pages blog! This site is dedicated to sharing inspirational and transformational resources to help you become a more powerful manifester of the life you desire.

I am a woman with a mission! I am 100% committed to helping people live lives that are more conscious, abundantly prosperous, personally fulfilling, creative, spiritually awakened, Earth-honoring and above all, full of love.

I have served as a professional spiritual counselor, workshop facilitator, keynote speaker, energy healer, hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, relationship and success life coach for over 15 years and am also the author of The Radical Self-Love Workbook, and many hypnomeditation audios including Aligning with Abundance and many more.

By using the empowering, holistic tools and practices for healing Body, Mind, Heart & Spirit that I will share with you, I have changed my life so magnificently, I am a living example of the power of these techniques. In my 20s, I was chronically ill with a serious lung disease called sarcoid, along with carpal tunnel syndrome so disabling I had to quit my career as a journalist. I also had a third disability in my spine and had to walk with a brace and cane for 4 months. I was told I would never run, dance or jump ever again and would be lucky to be able to walk without a cane. This at the age of 25! I was married to a depressed man who eventually became abusive. Fortunately, I had the self-respect to walk away the moment my life was endangered, and recreated myself. I was poor, sick, and depressed myself, despite doing everything I knew how to do to “pick myself up by my bootstraps” and think positively. I prayed, meditated, saw numerous healers of every variety, and still I was struggling and suffering.

But  I kept faith and never gave up. In 1994, over a three-month period, I began having visions and dreams so powerful and frightening,they were more than just a dream. I felt a tingling energy building in my body and felt a sense of great excitement, as if something momentous was about to happen. Indeed, in one life-changing 18-hour period in the Baja Desert of Mexico, with a Cherokee soul sister friend, I went through three Near-Death Experiences that changed my life forever. My friend and I both were seeing and hearing signs and spiritual messages continuously. (The fact that we were both seeing and hearing these other-worldly things at the same time helped us not think we were losing our minds, and I’m grateful for that!)

The story of that experience, which turned out to be a shamanic initiation, is so intense and rich, it deserves, and someday will be, its own book. For now, I will say that, ever since, I have been blessed to feel a connection with Spirit so continous, so joyous and so clear, I received my calling to be a healer, spiritual teacher and messenger of Love. I have written numerous books, articles, literally hundreds of poems and songs, and have been thankful to create a life I love, living and fulfilling my divine purpose and making a difference in the lives of thousands of people.

I am now completely healed of the back, sarcoid and carpal tunnel disabilities and enjoy a full,  healthy, prosperous life with an energy of love in my household and heart that are unparalleled. Perhaps because of all that I have been through, I have a deep sense of gratitude for each and every day of living, for the ability to just walk and breathe and dance and sing – and live. People tell me I have a very old soul yet a youthful spirit and seldom guess my age correctly. (How old do you think I am? Write me a comment.)

I recently presented The Radical Self-Love Experience to 930 people at T. Harv Eker’s “All Your Relations” seminar in San Diego, where I launched my first book, The Radical Self-Love Workbook, 14 years in the making. I cannot tell you how joyful my heart felt to touch the lives of all those beautiful people, sharing love and helping them remember who they really are! They gave me a 10-minute standing ovation and bought hundreds of my books, which are now in six countries. I work with clients all over the world to break free from old, unconscious limiting beliefs, negative self-talk and fear, and to align with their heart’s desire and life purpose in a way that is happy, healthy, prosperous and heart-centered.

You deserve to have it all. You do not have to keep struggling and suffering. Positive change is not easy, but with the right resources, both inner and outer, you can and will create the life you came here to live. The key is to address your unconscious beliefs and energy field, because as long as you are trying to change just by willpower, guess what? It becomes won’t power pretty quickly, doesn’t it? This is why 80% of dieters gain back all the weight and smokers light up that cigarette again, within 1 year of trying to change. And body care is, in some ways, easier to change than thoughts, feelings, work and relationship choices, which can be much more complex.

I will be sharing tips and techniques herein that draw from Eastern and Western wisdom traditions, advanced Law of Attraction, spirituality, holistic and mind-body healing and much more. So I invite you to subscribe to this blog and visit often. Blessings!

The moment of choice, the moment of change, is now.

To Your Success & Happiness,
