ARE YOU CHECKING YOUR SMARTPHONE 24-7? WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW.

Reading Time: 6 minutesWhenever I’ve been out to eat at a restaurant recently, I’ve noticed families, couples, and coworkers alike all glued to their phones during a meal. No, this isn’t uncommon, but stopping to really notice these people forgoing in-person communication for their phones has a powerful effect. Specifically, it’s gotten me thinking about the psychological dangers of 24-7 accessibility, and the way it’s shifted our expectations in both personal and professional contexts. Now that smartphones enable us to have constant, efficient and ongoing forms of communication with literally everyone we know, we are now always at anyone’s beck and call. The benefits are clear, but the downsides sometimes feel even clearer.

The Possibility of Turn Around

Reading Time: 6 minutesWhen I feel hopeless, I recognize that I am giving the big, hard news the full bandwidth of my attention. I am not looking at the bloom of a flower, the smile of a child or a verse of beautiful poetry. No, I am awfulizing as if this major thing that has happened is the only aspect of reality.

I am not comparing the cold-blooded murder of 11 people during the exercise of their faith to the bloom of a flower. No, I am not. What I am saying is that there is always something good going on, even on the darkest, darkest day.

Focusing on the littlest thing that is good is the way we stay connected to Greater Love, the Love that heals and has solutions.

 Your home can be everything that the outside world isn’t.

Reading Time: 4 minutesWe are all in Scorpio season and Venus – that epitome of can’t-we-all-just-get-along – is retrograde. That energy is flowing darkly through all things relationship/power/money/death-and-taxes and most of us don’t like a lot of what we see. There’s a shit storm on every major media outlet, most recently in a place of gentle worship.

A lot of us are feeling really scared, really heavy, really sad and somewhat out of control.

Know this – your home can be the antidote you seek. Your home can be everything that the outside world isn’t. Your home can be a literal recharging station when the outside world depletes even your deepest reserves. And in times like this, I can’t think of anything more important.

You’re Going By Yourself? A Photo Essay from a Solo Traveler

Reading Time: 5 minutesLadies, you do not have to wait for “the one” or your friends to agree to go. There are lots of group tours out there (I prefer small groups of 15 or less) that are affordable and provide a level of safety and comfort to make it easier if you are not comfortable traveling on your own. I’ve met people from various backgrounds and all ages ranging from 20’s to people in their 70’s. I am rarely the only solo traveler on a group tour, as there are many people out there in similar situations. It has mostly been women traveling alone in these groups with a few men sprinkled in.

What if You Could Change Your Past?

Reading Time: 4 minutesIt might sound like a science fiction movie, but we all know the gap between science fiction and reality is getting smaller and smaller. We also know that each of us experiences the world a little differently, and those differences are based on perceptual filters in our brains.

Those filters are created in many ways—including environment and culture. But one of the most profound ways that the perceptual filters are developed is through childhood programming. Our parents, our teachers, and our childhood experiences create beliefs about what is possible for us, and these take root in our subconscious mind.

Unlucky with Money?

Reading Time: 3 minutesI don’t really believe in luck. I do believe we are all on our own journey and here to learn the lessons that we are meant to learn. I also believe we are conscious co-creators of our lives, and that we don’t just let life passively go by.

That being said, when you find yourself in deep contrast, meaning struggling to pay the mortgage or rent, put food on the table, pay bills, etc., you could say, “Wow, I’m so unlucky in money.” However, that is a limiting belief. It lowers your vibration.
