If you were going to give it a try how would you play with your shadows? Where would you begin? Would it feel scary, coaxing you to run and hide under the covers? Would you write a play and use shadow puppets to play the main characters? Would you walk forward and back enjoying this darker reflection of you on the sunny sidewalk of life? Would you try to catch him or her? Or simply appreciate the shadow’s existence, the knowledge of that being enough to release its power? In this post I share how playing with shadows can give your life an upgrade and the ways in which I’ve been doing it lately! How do you explore the dark sides of your self?

Take your power back! Bio-Individuality simply means that we are all unique beings with unique needs. Have you ever taken the time to notice how you feel after a workout or a meal? It’s likely you have beliefs about the types of food and movement that are “good for you.” While previous belief systems served a purpose, transformation requires you to commit to evolving with your changing needs.

Affirmations are one tool I LOVE to use when creating the life of my dreams. They keep me on track and remind me that anything is possible. However, there are some tricks to creating an affirmation that works for you. If your affirmation isn’t believable - mind, body, and spirit - it will get you nowhere. So, read on to learn a few tricks to making your affirmation attainable.

1. Create an affirmation that honors the process of unfolding. Like a rose unfolds in the sun, we too transform by opening ourselves up, layer by layer. So, if you’re feeling like you want to pull yourself out of the funk you’re in create an affirmation that eases you in to the next best state. A couple examples of this are:

“My body, mind, and spirit are awakening to new possibilities.”

“I am feeling more energized day by day.”

“I am always guided toward my highest good.”

These affirmations are not tied to a concrete measure and therefore allow you to ease in to possibility. I find this settles the nervous system and creates an opportunity to open up to more - body, mind, and spirit. Give it a try and observe the ways you become guided to manifest your desires.

Is quarantine getting you down? Whether you suffer from a diagnosed depressive disorder or natural bouts of depressed feelings brought on by environmental stressors, the stay at home orders may be taking a toll. Scientists have now even coined the term “quarantine fatigue” for the challenging feelings some of us are experiencing right now. I’ve been open about the fact that I can struggle with depression from time to time and while Spring is usually the time of year when I notice a lift in my mood, the stay at home order here in Ohio has definitely brought on a second round of blues. In this post I share how I’m finding my way, including a piece of the last conversation I had with my psychologist (a very kickass woman I might add). Whether you are feeling a little blue, struggle with depression, or know someone who does I hope you find this post comforting, like a warm hug from a close friend. Big love!

Sometimes an opportunity comes to be more of yourself than you knew existed. Maybe there was a snippet of the person you would become hidden in a secret longing or desire, a seed that would one day blossom into a beautiful rose. I had one of those moments this week. I have been grappling with a feeling of wanting to be more of myself in my partnership with Kevin. See, our relationship is a playground for my life’s big work and sometimes that means I get bogged down with judgment and fear instead of seeing the beauty in front of me. Committed, intimate relationship pushes at my edges and often beckons me to become a greater version of myself; something I both love and hate. So, I took some time to journal about my internal struggle this week, releasing thoughts and feelings and allowing new ideas to emerge. As I did this I could tell I was on the brink of discovering something life-changing in terms of our relationship; I just wasn’t sure what it would be or how it would come. Then, as my curiosity peaked, an opening came, and the Universe worked her magic. This experience was so powerful that I knew I had to share. So, I put everything on hold and prepared today’s post especially for you. I hope you find hints of magic for yourself and take on my challenge to see the good in others, even when they can’t see it in themselves.
