The key to self-mastery and happiness is finding your rhythm. Sounds easy, right? It can be, with the awareness. However, it’s just as easy to unconsciously dance to a rhythm that’s all wrong for you (and we’ve all done it). Or worse, you actually know you’re offbeat and dancing to a life rhythm that doesn’t serve your highest good, yet you still keep dancing. That’s what living in survival mode f...

Chaos can feel like a tornado hitting your peace of mind, destroying all aspects of your life. There's nothing happy about the guilt of not getting everything done.

Do you travel to escape reality? Or more importantly, are you even aware that you may be using travel to escape your own life? Travel is one of the most subtle forms of escapism, which is the desire or behavior to ignore, evade, or avoid reality. It’s easy to get swept away in a fantasy lifestyle while traveling. We must not forget that travel can also be one of the best forms of self-care. So how...

I won’t say it’s been easy or fun, but the cla...

Why is it so easy to deflect a compliment or an offer of help and so much harder to simply say thank you and receive? I believe it’s because many are uncomfortable and feel some kind of way about being on the receiving end of this energy exchange. I get it, as this is something I’ve had to grapple with in my own healing journey. And while there’ll probably never be a “Season of Receiving” marketin...

We all wash. We care about the laundry detergent used. We even care about how our car is washed. But why do we then go into the shower and mindlessly throw soap on our body not to smell?

Life lessons come in so many different packages. We often miss the delivery because we’re expecting it to come in a certain package.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do. There's a yin and yang to giving and receiving but most of us are really off-balanced when it comes to receiving help.

As a certified Reiki Master and Reiki teacher, people constantly ask how does distance Reiki healing works? It's easy to wrap our minds around sending love or prayers, but receiving healing energy from a distance can be complicated to comprehend.
