TRUTH SERUM: There will continue to be uncertainty. You must become certain about what you want and how you wish to live your life. A-HA MOMENTS: This time is a time of freedom – freedom from what has held you hostage from yourself. What you will choose to be a new set of practices and beliefs that you will hold; will allow you to rebirth yourself into something more, something better. PRACTICAL WISDOM: You need this time to awaken; to set in motion this new stage of your life. You already have everything that you need for this. In this episode, I share real life client stories as we discuss reliance and self-responsibility; to no longer give away our power to those who are truly not responsible for it and to make new choices that will honour our integrity and authenticity over greed, ego, and a fragile and fear-based model that has up to now dictated to us what we should do. I hope this episode inspires you to be self-reliant; and to choose with greater autonomy what will allow you to feel, innate happiness. Namaste! xo

Discover freedom from what holds you back, choose new practices and beliefs to rebirth yourself into something better, and take responsibility for your own power and choices for innate happiness.

Why You Must Be Self-Reliant

In the recent weeks and months we have witnessed much political up-cries as our leaders are being asked - demanded - that they consider how policies and political influence needs to stand for what matters; that they need to think far into the future. It is not only the economy that needs an uplift but perhaps more so, it is how we think. We must open our minds to what needs to change is at the forefront of everything. Gravely the violence, the prejudice, the racism, the fear and the lack of knowledge that we have witnessed is but a microcosm of what needs to change; of what is changing. Our lives stand for something; they matter. They inspire and drive conviction; to be a never-ending voice that teaches our children; that retrains our way of thinking and the beliefs that we hold so that we may all live in light; no longer in the darkness that has shrouded our minds for so long. This is our global awakening; this is our new world. This is your opportunity, your time, your free will that will choose what will be. When you feel uncertain; and there is much that is still unknown, remember to decide what is in your power to choose; to reclaim, to live awake, because in this time everything that you have ever wanted and desired now is before you. It is of your choosing. Only you can choose this. You are not alone, everyone has their own path to walk forward in. The life that you once lived is forever changed. You embrace the present. You may witness all of the moments of your life as you look forward and feel grateful of these many joys that are possible because you choose this. Everything becomes significant. Everything becomes a possibility and something worth asking for. Your life and what you live begins now. Choose your life. Live in peace. Begin this now. I hope that you will have the experience of listening to the full episode; there is much here to inspire and uplift and to help you set your course into the future. Namaste! xo

The world is changing and we must open our minds to what needs to change, stand for what matters and live in peace; choose your life and live awake.

Fear of the unknown can often hold us back in life. In this meditation, we work on navigating uncertainty by embracing self-love and optimism. Fear of the unknown comes from the story we tell ourselves.

What if the unknown isn’t as scary as we are making it out to be? We will take part in a visualization that will help us embrace the unknown and recognize that it may not be as scary as we are making it out to be.

How often do we allow others to hurt us? Your decision must be to step back, to step away from taking on whatever hurts may be directly or indirectly pointed at you. You wouldn't choose to be hurt. You would choose to be love and to feel loved. So begin with this. Become great at this. This is the ability to love yourself and to trust wholeheartedly in your goodness, your infinite power, your truth. with love Namaste!

As we move along the path of awakening and freedom, as we allow our consciousness to expand and our vibration to be raised, we are wise to be very conscious about protecting our consciousness so that we are not pulled down to the lower vibrations of fear, worry, and doubt that is running amuck in the world. In other words, we are wise to use discernment as to who we share our insights and revelations with, and even who we choose to hang out with, so that we may integrate and embody our expansion.

When life doesn't go as planned, it can lead to disappointment, fear, anger, sadness, or a range of emotions. You may find yourself clinging defiantly to the way that things "should" have been.

Learning From What Scares You The Most

How tricky our ego can be. She feeds off of fear and scarcity, And leaves pain and suffering in her wake. Her desire is to keep us safe, But in doing so, she keeps us small and imprisoned. And the only way to true freedom, Is to recognize the ego when she appears, understand why she’s there, and let her go. So the intention of today’s meditation is to give you a practice to identify and let go of your ego, so you can continue the never-ending practice of transcending beyond her into a space of connectedness and love with your true self.

Daily, if not hourly, we tell ourselves we should DO something or should BE something...we constantly use "shoulds" when we talk to ourselves in our daily thoughts. Shoulds usually represent guilt or fear about not living up to someone’s expectations. Even guilt or fear about not living up to our own expectations. Follow along as Primal Health Coach Marisa Moon shares a strategy for reframing these thoughts. Learn more about Marisa's philosophy on her podcast called The Foundation of Wellness at marisamoon.com/podcast (also on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play)

Inhale Love & Peace Exhale Stress & Fear

We train our mind by what we tell it. What we say to ourselves becomes what we believe. We retrain our mind to believe in our self by holding the feeling first of something that we believe to be true - a positive aspect of our self - so that we can identify what this feeling "feels like". This is the first part of our retraining. We then work with envisioning and feeling successful of whatever we doubt. In this way, we focus on the positive outcome of what we desire instead of the fear or doubt. This meditation is best experienced in its entirety to allow for the full effects of its teachings. Please use this meditation often to anchor your new feelings of confidence and to retrain how you think. Namaste!! with love, dorothy

Trust Instead of Fear

When we wake, it starts. Like a faulty radio inside our heads. Shifting from one channel to the next. Sometimes it gets stuck on one channel. The channel that you really don’t want. And because you really don’t want that channel, you become more and more caught up in it. The mind. It can be helpful. But only sometimes. When we buy into the automatic thoughts that pass through our heads, they can bring us feelings of fear, inadequacy, frustration, and more. But the secret is, this is not just you. It’s about everybody! Never Mind Your Mind is about being part of the change that’s going on in the world right now. One way of doing this is by taking our thoughts less seriously.

"Never Mind Your Mind" encourages taking thoughts less seriously to avoid negative emotions caused by automatic thoughts, which affects everyone.
