There's nothing subtle about domestic violence. And it won't ever go away unless women stop pretending what is, ain't so. I wonder ... when is enough, enough?!

What I’ve come to discover in my few years of working with women, is that all the women were taught how to pretend. Manipulate their inner cues to be able to tolerate the outer ‘reality’. Manipulate, too, the outer circumstances so people think their lives are “perfect”. Yet our inner world is in total and utter turmoil. So is that of our children.

Our bodies have been magnificently designed to be our messengers of what's going on in our lives and in our psyche (the Greek word for Soul). You best believe our bodies are brilliant quantum biological-processors that process energy (such as food, thoughts, emotions) at a rate unfathomable to our intellect. Our nervous system, for example, can process 10,000,000 * 11 neurological connections per second! Our intellect? +/-7. This is why in order to heal whatever is presenting in our bodies, we must learn how to listen to and decipher the messages of the body, not read more books...

The only thing you can trust without question is that your body will never lie to you.

Yet the invitation is global. It is large in its intention, and it is large in its delivery. Rest is something we all deeply crave, yet how many of us actually step in and mindfully choose to rest? Not as a passive verb, but active instead.

Are you seeking to start the New Year with a mindful intention of showing up for yourself throughout the year? If so, join us every day for the first 7 days of the new year in an online retreat intended to guide you toward feeling your essence.

Breath is a state of Being. It is the conduit for Life Force that flows through us to infuse our bodies. It is here to inform us about a higher order truth that lives inside of us yet unrecognized. Breath guides us to notice the quality of our life.Breath does not require anything of us but to invite and allow it to be in flow.

If I achieve one goal in my lifetime, I wish it to be that you grow up knowing your true Self, your essence, your I AM. It is only by knowing this that you do not fall victim to another's construction of the world. If you notice the patterns playing out in the world and choose mindfully that which is meaningful for you, I know you will be okay.  I share these thoughts with you because I have come to discover that there is nothing in the world that is more powerful than you knowing your essence... your truth ... yourSelf. 

As a species, I believe we are at a critical choice point: we can choose evolution by intention ... OR drama. As Louise LeBrun has previously said "there is a bottomless pit for both of them". The good news: YOU get to choose. Right here, right now.
