Be Gentle with You

We all know too well that life can literally pass you by at a mile a minute and get extremely busy that before you know it 5 years can pass by in a flash, or you wake up one day to look in the mirror and find your 45 year old self staring back at you as you wonder where all those years went.

timeout

Now pause for a minute before you become your typical judgmental and critical self as you wonder what you have achieved, accomplished or done with the four decades that have escaped you…

“Why haven’t I found Mr Right yet?”

“I feel like a failure as a woman because I haven’t had children yet”

“I never made it to VP on the corporate ladder.”

“I didn’t get to buy that mansion on Park Royal Mountain”

“I never lost that extra weight before I was in my 30s”

“I didn’t buy that Ferrari before I hit 40”

Stop the scrutiny, stop these negative limited beliefs, these what if and what could have been regretful thought patterns!  Can you ask yourself one truthful underlying question as you reflect on your life…

Have you been living an authentic and conscious life filled with many fruitful new experiences, ever lasting memories and eye-opening life lessons?

home-3-slide-4-1024x442

Does your life memories bring you joy, laughter and nostalgic love?

Is there something stopping you from feeling your greatest?  A worry, a past trauma, a creative block or certain individual in your life that is disrupting the peace, harmony and that happy feeling of loving life to it’s fullest?

Can you rise above the drama, stress and day-to-day challenges to the bigger picture, the end-game or that ultimate purpose of life?

Have you been giving and receiving love freely in all your social circles or have you been holding back through fear of getting hurt?

3 Tips on How to Be Gentle to Yourself by LifeSense

fullscreen-slide-2-1024x587
  1. Stop being so critical when looking in the mirror every morning.  The next time you see yourself in a mirror, how about you tell yourself how much you love your eyes, your skin complexion or beautiful smile?  Embrace your inner beauty both inside and out.  => Identify 3 physical assets or personality traits that you are grateful for having?
  2. Love, forgive, accept and be thankful for YOU.  The next time you are day dreaming, pondering or doing some introspection and stumble on a memory, worry, past hurt or limiting belief – don’t just sweep it under the carpet, instead why not process the unresolved feeling in a healthy way?  Instead of letting it stay suppressed within your physical and emotional body causing dis-ease – why not release it into the universe so that it doesn’t stop you from being your true greatness.  => Affirm with the following Hawaiian shaman self-healing technique of “I Love You.  I Forgive You.  I Am Sorry.  Thank You” to acknowledge the life lesson as just that so it doesn’t accumulate into karmic debt or negative feelings.
  3. Stop caring about what other people think.  Live your own authentic life because you want to.  Be sure to differentiate between living your own authentic and original life path rather than living the life that your parents expect of you, or that you think your best friend wants or because of that illusion of society’s idealism pressure.  The next time you are about to make a decision on what to eat, take that next step in your career or buy that Mercedes Benz – pause and check in with yourself.  Ask yourself why you are choosing to eat that salad, and for whom you are working that 40 hr work week and why you want the Mercedes status symbol.

Allow yourself to simply be in the moment.  To sit in silence and literally check in with your body, mind and heart feelings.

The Yin Yang Balance

Imbalance of Yin and Yang Energy Flow in the Body

Just because a man is considered a Yang force doesn’t mean he doesn’t have both Yin and Yang flowing through his veins and nerves.  Actually, the yang flow in both men and women flows downwards in circular motions and the yin flow typically flows upwards from the ground feet through the navel upwards.

yin yang
Yang Imbalance

Now where most of the energy imbalances for both men and women occur is in the upper body where the yang flow cannot make it down to the bottom half of the body therefore the person is stuck in a fear, anger, panic, overwhelm, worry, impatience and anxiety pattern.

=> This wreaks havoc on the body and shows up as heart attacks, heart problems, lung cancer, brain aneurysms or high blood pressure.

Yin Imbalance

Likewise for a woman, though she is considered primarily a Yin force doesn’t mean that she doesn’t experience Yang stagnation in her upper body.  Though it is more pervasive to see a Yin flow stagnation in women and widely diagnosed or misdiagnosed as an auto-immune disorder that has no cure in the western medicine sphere.  A lot of women suffer from Yin flow stagnation whereby the life force energy Qi or Prana cannot make it up from the feet, through the pelvic cavity to the heart and then brain.

yinwords

Now where most of the energy imbalances for both men and women occur is in the mid to lower body where the yin flow cannot make it up to the top half of the body therefore the person is stuck in a self-worth, unloved, dis-empowered, self-hatred and self-blaming pattern.

=> Causing many dysfunctions and blockages in the Prostrate, Uterus, Ovaries, Thyroid Gland and Fallopian Tubes.  It doesn’t help that the toxins in food, environment and water cause endocrine disruptions to the 7 endocrine centres leading to auto-immune disorders.  In most cases, the Spleen, Liver, Gall Bladder, Heart and other major organs are heavily taxed by the many toxins entering the body causing stagnation.

 Early Signs of Depression in Men

The Men (yang) have it especially tough, in some respects more than women (yin) when it comes to living in chronic depression or showing any signs of emotional weakness as they are taught from childhood to hide their feelings, man up and be tough, macho and basically invincible in every situation.  Nothing can “break” the man’s pride, ego or that wall of protection and superficial arrogance – as this is their natural defense mechanism to survive the countless of heartbreaks, childhood disappointments, hurt, pain, abuse and resentment. 
Signs to look out for of chronic depression and emotional stagnation for the men in your life, since in most cases they are completely unaware and unconscious of their behaviour patterns: 

depression
  • Bitterness, anger and resentment to those around them
  • Countless of heartaches, heartbreaks, loss, pain, regret, guilt and self-blame
  • Limited belief, fear-driven bubble, misery loves company
  • Feeling of hopeless, despair and depletion to the point of wanting to die
  • Clouded judgement and false sense of reality
  • Closing up when asked to talk about their feelings, sweeping under the carpet
  • Negative thinking in all aspects of life, even those which should be joyful
  • Irrational behaviour in day-to-day living due to lack of physical needs being satisfied
  • Child like attention seeking episodes from childhood trauma patterns that haven’t been addressed
  • Arrogance, pride and ego with very little signs of grace, being humble, compassionate or calm
  • Not caring for their appearance, health and basic needs of food, water and air
  • Always seeing the glass half empty and not half full
  • Down in the dumps, feeling low and mentally as well as physically fatigued
  • Loss of zest for life, love and ability to appreciate the joys of music, beauty, nature and their blessings in life
  • Physical symptoms of depression – lack of a healthy balance between exercise, nutrition and positive relationships in life, chronic fatigue, backed up, blocked physically, stagnant energy in the most weakest part of the body for a man – testicular cancer, or a previously injured body part that keeps getting injured – reoccurring until the lesson is learned.
  • Surrounding themselves in misery, darkness and their own fear turmoil as the only way to escape their pain.
  • Pretentious, passively aggressive, fearful but pretends to be stronger than he really is, etc.
  • Suffer in silence and isolated, until their only escape is suicide.

Tell tell Signs of Depression in Women

The Women (yin) also have a very hard time expressing their true feelings, their hurt, their disappointments and heartbreaks because in most cases as women are severely underappreciated in society, in the workplace and in the home.  The women in our lives are run down by life, household responsibilities, looking after the children, keeping the family home together and in many cases working a 9-5 job – when all is said and done, there is very little time for them to even check in with how they are feeling deep inside.

Many women tend to hide their true feelings, suffer in despair, distress and depression without anyone knowing.  Sometimes she is not aware that she is on her way to an emotional breakdown.  Society stigma says that a woman should be able to be resilient and tolerant of emotional pain, female estrogen dominant conditions and physical pain related to auto-immune disorders – since it comes with the territory of being able to reproduce, give birth, have periods and basically be superwoman.

Signs to look out for of chronic depression and emotional turmoil for the women in your life, since in most cases they have no time to even take 5 minutes to brush their hair yet alone to check in with how they really feel:

pain woman
  • Shame, guilt, self-hatred and deprivation for their own life and needs
  • Severely under appreciated, unworthy, abused, disrespected and victim of manipulation and bullying
  • Countless of heartaches, heartbreaks, question of self-worth, feeling unloved
  • Suffering from a painful estrogen dominance condition, auto-immune disorder or thyroid issue
  • Acquired pride, ego and tough and passive aggressive but false hard exterior for defense
  • Displacement theory of emotions on those close to them out of frustration and lack of self-love and worth
  • Feeling worthless, unloved, maternal bonding issues and powerless
  • Self-sacrificing their desires and needs by putting other people’s happiness above themselves
  • Limited belief, fear-driven bubble, misery loves company
  • Clouded judgement and false sense of reality
  • Suffering in isolation by thinking she is a burden on her loved ones
  • Negative thinking in all aspects of life, even those which should be joyful
  • Unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel
  • Irrational behaviour in day-to-day living due to lack of physical needs being satisfied
  • Child like attention seeking episodes from childhood trauma patterns that haven’t been addressed
  • Arrogance, pride and ego with very little signs of grace, being humble, compassionate or calm
  • Not caring for their appearance, health and basic needs of food, water and air
  • No energy to dress up, be pretty or go out
  • Barely any drive to get up, eat or open their eyes every morning
  • Always seeing the glass half empty and not half full
  • Down in the dumps, feeling low and mentally as well as physically fatigued
  • Loss of zest for life, love and ability to appreciate the joys of music, beauty, nature and their blessings in life
  • Physical symptoms of depression – lack of a healthy balance between exercise, nutrition and positive relationships in life, chronic fatigue, female reproductive issues, blocked physically, stagnant energy in the most weakest part of the body for a woman – uterine cancer, estrogen dominance conditions, auto-immune dysfunctions or a previously injured body part that keeps getting injured – reoccurring until the lesson is learned.
  • Surrounding themselves in misery, darkness and their own fear turmoil as the only way to escape their pain.
  • Pretentious, passively aggressive, fearful but pretends to be stronger than she really is, etc.
  • Not enough joy in their life, the music has died, no more love, depleted and destroyed of their natural ability to love, give and be compassionate
  • Overwhelming feeling of hurt, abandonment, disappointment, despair and hopelessness.
  • Unsupported by society, shamed because of stigma of “depression”.
  • Suffer in silence and isolated, until their only escape is suicide.

Detox and Cleanse Your Life

You know that saying that “life got too busy that I forgot to breathe” or that “life escaped you so much that you missed your best friend’s wedding day” or those day-to-day petty dramas that got the better of you.  Life can leave you steamrolled and depleted, hence it is important to check in with your body, mind and spirit to ensure that you are on track and living your happy life path.

Tune in to yourself.  Listen to your body.  Quiet your mind.  Check in with your inner spirit.

Are You Feeling Out of Balance?

Are you tired of having to cancel on that quality time with your elderly mother, or of you crashing into bed at 8pm on that Friday night when you could be out having memorable fun with friends.

Or even worse stumbling at the grocery store, spraining your ankle on the sidewalk or having that road accident because you didn’t check blind spot because you were in such a hurry in that parking lot.

Something is out of balance on a cellular level internally and it’s not just you losing your balance when falling down on the street, or you crashing on to the bed from over exhaustion on a Saturday afternoon when you should be doing errands.

home-4-slide-2-1024x442

A detox goes beyond just the physical or dietary detox or eliminating certain foods, chemicals and synthetic substances from your diet.

It also speaks to detoxing topically as in what you put on your skin in terms of hygienic products, cosmetics and more.

Another form of detox is mentally, being mindful of your thoughts and feelings to ensure that you remain in a positive frame of mind and with clarity of clear and conscious living.  A detox also includes the type of people you surround yourself with, and ensuring that their energy and spirit inspires and uplifts you rather than drains you.  Detoxing emotionally also means finding peace with unresolved past hurts, issues and trauma that have not been properly processed and released.  These emotional karmic debt can accumulate into dis-ease physically or mentally.

It’s Time to Detox and Restore the Balance in Your Life

Restoration of the Body

It’s time to Eat Clean, Organic and Wholesome Food. 

Stop rushing with the fast food, those techy lunches and missed meals.  You are what you eat as it effects your body on a cellular level.  Eating healthy doesn’t mean depriving yourself of those treats and indulgences but instead being conscious about your choices of nutrition to ensure a portion balanced and colorful plate is key, and that all food groups are covered at every meal time and that the natural and essential minerals are consumed where possible.  A nutrient dense meal is crucial to your body’s optimal health and the functioning of your biological systems, rhythms and blood circulation.

home-4-slide-4-1024x442

Remember HYDRATION is key, as well as getting good restful and rejuvenating sleep.

A DETOX does not mean depriving your body of any food or drink.  Cleansing diets are way too aggressive on your body that it is important to know what you are “detoxing from” so that you can eat/do not eat certain foods, ingredients and chemicals for that given timeframe or permanently.  In most cases, detoxing requires diligence, discipline and focus when eliminating those triggering foods and inflammation reactions.

It is important not to starve while taking other food supplements or probiotic cultures that help clean out your gut, your intestinal flora and therefore detox the bacteria cultures in your digestive system.  One product that can help the detoxing process is Vita Biosa.

Visit Sweetgrass Naturals in Fort Langley for organic and natural products that cleanse the body, mind, spirit and your space.

It is important to know the properties and effects of the foods you eat based on the time of day, time of month or your varying stress levels.  The central nervous system and digestive system work together when it comes to digesting the enzymes, nutrients and mineral substances effectively.

A DETOX doesn’t just refer to what you consume internally or digest but also what you put on your skin, topical creams, soaps, gels as well as what your hands touch.

Refueling the Clarity of the Mind

It’s Time to Clear Your Mind and Cleanse your Thought Patterns.  Detox and restore the clarity in your mind from the automatic media programming into more authentic creative thinking and living your truth path.

It’s time to clear your mind from all that noise, day-to-day dramas, brain fog and fatigue that can bombard your head sending you into an overwhelming spin of mental stress and torment.

A detox for the mind includes mindful exercises including conscious breathing, square breathing, meditation, prayer, introspection, inner voice, obtaining insights, precognition and use of intuition.  Being able to find stillness in the mind is a challenge with the amount of mental media distraction in western society and especially when in a bustling city centre.

home-1-slide-5-1024x533

It is important to find your solitude in a beautiful panoramic vista, natural viewpoint or to immerse yourself in nature so that you can just be in the present moment to find that stillness regardless of time and space.

Unleash your Inner Spirit and Authentic You from the Heart

It’s time to open your heart and find your freedom to love unconditionally and top tap into your spirit.  It’s time to embrace your inner spirit and begin being your creative potential.

fullscreen-slide-2-1024x587

It is important to love, accept and forgive yourself unconditionally through your body, mind and spirit.  When there is nothing blocking you emotionally your spirit can be unleashed to be free to express itself organically and authentically without fear of judgment from others.

“Everyone needs some form of healing from the inside out.”

It is crucial that you find your happy place both internally and physically.  Where you can be at peace, find your inner peace, love and light.  Once you find your inner peace, you are able to open and expand your positive energy of love, peace and light to guide others to their happy place and creative potential.

Visit Sweetgrass Naturals in Fort Langley for organic and natural products that cleanse the body, mind, spirit and your space.

Allow yourself to simply be in the moment.  To sit in silence and literally check in with your body, mind and heart feelings.

Music is a Powerful Healer

Music Therapy can be extremely beneficial for people who suffer from an array of neurological conditions that include children with autism, brain injury trauma and concussions, stroke survivors, people with behavourial and mental disorders as well as those with Alzheimer’s disease.  Nurture with Music addresses these disorders and dysfunctions in the physical and emotional body through it’s unique music therapy immersed in nature so that these people can return to wholeness, optimal health and absolute wellness for a better quality of life no matter what age they are or what stage of their life they are in.

Nurture with Music takes a slightly different approach to the conventional methods of music therapy, whereby it is not so much based on the technicality, theory or the details of the different frequency, vibrations and melodic waves as it does in using music to stimulate the 5 senses plus the emotional/energy/metaphysical body.  Nurture with Music uses music to tap into the innate functions of the body, mind, heart and spirit on a cellular level through the melody vibration manipulation and stimulation of intricate sensory awareness through the ears, eyes, nose, mouth and the tactile sensory of the entire body. Nurture with Music likes to use nature and all it’s beautiful sounds, sacred geometry and designs as an additional stimuli in helping people recover, heal, rehab and reprogram their brain functions for a complete return to optimal health.

Nurture with Music, along with LifeSense by Liapros uses holistic wellness and innovative healing approaches for its Mind Body Heart Healing and Restorative Yin Wellness Retreats.  The body is treated holistically as one big entity that encompasses all mental, physical, emotional and energy bodies that are in disharmony and out of balance.  The fact that each note in an octave in music from C to B maps to each of the 7 endocrine centres in the body and therefore resonates organs, body parts, left, right, top, bottom, back and front of all bodies makes the Nurture with Music approach so effective and powerful in helping people heal from trauma, injury, hurt, pain, shock, anxiety and any imbalance and dysfunction in the physical body.

Music Therapy is effective in restoring these three brain functions in stroke survivors: Motor, Speech and Cognitive.

Motor

Since there is an intertwined connection between what we hear and movement, and because music is an organized and predictable stimulus, it is effective at improving the motor functions deficits that are left behind after a stroke.

A stroke survivor can have a more regular gait by walking to the beat of a familiar song. And playing instruments such as drums, piano or a triangle can encourage movement and improve strength and coordination in an affected arm.

Speech

Because singing and speaking use several similar processes such as respiration, making speech-like sounds and articulation, singing may improve speaking skills for some. Many times a person with aphasia may not be able to speak but can sing. This is because speech is processed and produced primarily in the left side of the brain.

On the other hand, music is processed and produced in multiple parts of the brain. Some of these overlap with speech centers and some do not. A therapist can stimulate and strengthen injured speech centers, or create new connections around injured areas to potentially help people speak again.

Cognitive

Music is highly engaging and activates multiple parts of the brain simultaneously, the way the sky lights up during a fireworks display. This makes it a perfect medium for helping people with left-side neglect and difficulty with attention. Music can be used to capture someone’s attention (focused attention), hold it for a period of time (sustained attention) and get the survivor to switch back and forth between two things (alternating attention).

Healing Power of Touch

The Healing Power of Touch featured in an archive edition of Life magazine back in 1997 is an excellent article that studies the numerous benefits for all ages of receiving massage therapy as a form of medicine.

magic of touch
Be it a premature new born infant that is clinging onto dear life needing therapeutic human touch, a new born baby becoming sensory aware, a teenager suffering from anorexia, an athlete needing a sports massage or a senior in a nursing home needing an on-site therapeutic massage to overcome depression – the effective physical and emotional benefits of being touched are endless.

“Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, clothing and shelter”

massage

Touch is our most intimate and powerful form of communication.  It can be aggressive – a finger jabbed into the chest, a slap in the face.  It can be tender – the hug that comforts a child, the hand on the shoulder that reassures a person with anxiety or a caress on the back to send someone to sleep.

Massage’s healing powers make it serious medicine.  Tactile (the perception and sensation of touch)
stimulation can be a matter of life and death for premature infants, seniors suffering from arthritis in a nursing home or for the teenage girl with anorexia who needs emotional reassurance or their physical body confidence renewed.

????????????????????????????

By stimulating the circulation and lowering stress hormones, massage eases stiffness and pain in arthritis sufferers.  Massage improves body image in people suffering from eating disorders.  When a group of office workers received a massage, they were tested with a math test and were able to complete the test more efficiently and effectively (with fewer errors) proving that massages can increase alertness and improve overall mental performance.

“Skin is the human body’s largest organ.  It accounts for 18% of our body weight and covers about 19 square feet.”

Go Beyond the Illusion of Fear

What Created the Fear Bubble?

Did you know that FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real?  Fear is the underlying negative motivator for a number of other negative emotions including Guilt, Worry, Anger, Resentment, Overwhelming, Hatred, Separation and Impatience.
That’s right, FEAR is just an illusion…something that the mind (ego) has drawn up as a virtual safety panic room for your mind, body and spirit to live within.

Apparently safe and secure, within your own survival instincts and beliefs that seem to protect you from the perceived “harmful” outside world and “dangerous” humanity of people that cannot be trusted.

It is highly likely that an experience in one’s early childhood created the fear bubble in the first place.  This initial experience or set of experiences could come down to a combination of the following:  one’s religious upbringing, parenting dynamic, sibling favoritism, being forced to do something against your will, or being branded, blamed and scolded by parents, teachers or authority figures.  These early childhood years “composite programming” could plant the seeds of one’s worthiness, control dramas, misplaced guilt, pleasing others or feeling embarrassed or hurt.

Fear is the Illusion of Separation from a United Mankind

In the grander scheme of things, your mind has invented this out of protection for your own separate identity and individuality however, the raw truth is that you are part of and the sum of all the collective consciousness of all living beings and thoughts that exists outside of yourself, but which are also driven from within you as part of the laws of attraction and reflection as you live in this false sense of security that you call your comfort zone.

breakfree

Are you having trouble breaking free from the fear bubble that you have been born into by means of the system, society, child development programming, inside the box schooling and the fearful limitations that have been set by your adult influences in your childhood years?

GO BEYOND THE LIMITATIONS THAT KEEP YOU TRAPPED IN THE VIRTUAL PRISON OF YOUR MIND

Do you even realize that you are living automatically and unconsciously without any true purpose, passion or zest for life?  Do you feel that you are on your destined path of life?  Are you living your dreams as a reality or has the reality of life taken it’s toll on you emotionally, physically, mentally and spiritually?

Therefore resulting in a blockage energetically, emotionally and mentally whereby you feel you are stagnating and going around in circles with no real progress or living dynamically as life was meant to be lived.  Stifling your true creativity, ability to use your imagination and go beyond the false limitations that have been set by your mind’s safety net.

How to Break Free from the Fear Bubble?

“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.”

~ John Lennon

You may have heard that the mind is the ego.  Typically your mind comes from a place of ego, fear, worry, overwhelm, limitation and scarcity because of the way it has been heavily programmed by society since we were 5 – 15 years of age.  Half of the battle is being able to reverse these limited beliefs that prevent us from opening our mind completely to infinite possibilities and to a freedom without limitations.

  1. Be mindful to your inner thoughts, judgements, ways of thinking and verbally expressing how you are feeling.  Be true to your feelings and emotions, becoming transparent with your inner thoughts and cravings rather than letting the ego put up a wall of protection, insincerity and false pretense called a “front”.  Many use meditation techniques or mindful exercises like square breathing or deep thinking techniques.
  2. Observe and acknowledge the raw feeling as thoughts and childhood control dramas for what they are: anger, frustration, worry, resentment, self-hatred, pain, hurt and disrespect – and being able to release them in a controlled fashion (screaming, beating a punching bag, running for miles, banging your fists or pushing against a wall) with a positive outlet so that these suppressed feelings can be released for good never to be seen again.  After all, the mind is the brains, is the “controller” so through mind over matter, the mind can be the positive force for when your body is feeling low, fatigue and dysfunctional.

    3. Stop the negative thinking, and turn it into positive.  Transmuting negative thinking, emotions and feelings into positive outlooks e.g. “I hate it when it rains because it makes me gloomy and I can’t go outside to do things” is such a negative and limiting belief that can be changed into “I like it when it rains here because the trees need water to keep it looking lush, on a rain day I can snuggle up on the couch with a warm cup of cocoa and a nice book.”
    4. Stop blaming yourself, stop being hard on yourself.  No more self criticizing or judgements – change these destructive thought patterns into positive affirmations, praises and acknowledgements of gratitude and blessings.  Come from a place of abundance, love and openness rather than from a place of scarcity, resentment and closed mindfulness.  Begin to love yourself unconditionally, and accept who you are mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually without judgement.  Understand that everything that has happened in your life up until this point has happened for a reason, has brought you to where you are today.
    5. Learn when to be appropriately quiet, and when to be vocal.  Verbally expressing one’s mind takes energy, and also has a significant cause and effect impact on the people around you and your surroundings.  That said, sometimes SILENCE IS GOLDEN.  Saying Less IS More.  If you do not have something positive to say, it is best to say nothing rather than to start up or enter into a negative confrontation.  Internally you can process the feeling in a healthy fashion.  Being calm and composed requires self control, integrity and solidarity.  On the flip side to that, sometimes it is necessary for you to express yourself verbally because the outcome would be so fruitful and beneficial to those around you.

Now that you have clarity because your mind’s thoughts are driven from love and not fear, your angle of perception has become that much wider, almost like a big picture aerial view of scenarios in your day-to-day life.  Looking at some of these tense situations from 10,000 feet gives it a whole new perspective in the grand scheme of things and in the context of the greater good.

Once you overcome your greatest fear in life, you can begin to feel a freedom like no other, the infinite possibilities of where your life can take you begin to open up, as you expand your perspective and go beyond the limitations and boundaries that kept you small and entrapped.  BREAK THIS FEAR PATTERN ONCE AND FOR ALL SO THAT YOU CAN FREE YOUR MIND AND OPEN YOUR HEART TO LIFE, TO LOVE AND LIGHT!

It’s a New Year, Time for Change!

​It’s another fresh new year and you are now one year wiser but have you been wavering back and forth at the crossroads of your life for quite some time now?  Was 2016 a pretty rough and tough year for you?  Leaving you depleted and simply craving for it to end it’s chaotic and turmoil shenanigans?  What about the many musicians and celebrities that went home too soon?

DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE GOING AROUND IN CIRCLES OR STUCK IN A NEVER-ENDING 360 TAILSPIN?  ARE YOU BLOCKED CREATIVELY?  EMOTIONALLY DROWNING OR LIVING WITH A PHYSICAL CHRONIC PAIN CONDITION?

Are you blocked energetically, stuck emotionally or is your creativity simply stifled and you don’t know why?

Beware of those negative thinkers and naysayers who dreambust your aspirations and drain your energy for they are unaware.   

Surround yourself with those people that uplift you with their positive attitudes of gratitude, empowering you with sincere hope and abundance. 

A Lifestyle Change or Shift in Thinking is Needed

How about your new years resolution being the need for positive change in your life in 2017?

With every new year comes an opportunity to turn the page, close the chapter on the past that no longer serves you and to embrace the need for a fresh new change of uplifting energy that a new year brings.

Maybe you had that end of year wake up call aha moment or experienced the sudden loss of a loved one where you looked back on your life with multiple regrets of past hurt sayings of “I shoulda woulda coulda”.  With every new year’s day, it’s always healthy to take that classic approach of “out with the old and in with the new” in all areas of your life.  It’s recommended that you reflect on the previous year and get rid of any emotional baggage, limiting thought patterns and dense energies that weighed you down preventing you from living your truth and reaching your full creative potential.

The Mind versus Body Conflict

Is your mind saying one thing while your heart is wrestling with a past hurt, pain, guilt, regret or suppressed emotion?  Are you stuck in a dark rut, depression, feeling blocked, or lacking inspiration? For some reason your only solace is to turn to excessive alcohol consumption, drug addiction or eating comfort foods to handle unresolved emotions and suppressed feelings?

Meanwhile your body is aching with a persistent elbow and knee joint pain, lower back discomfort or you suffer from those monthly migraines and headaches?

Need something more than your over the counter Tylenol and Advil painkillers?  Do they seem to be making you feel numb, blah and without emotion?

It’s time to find more sustainable and alternative natural remedies for your physical ailments and to make positive lifestyle changes that you can make to begin your path to healing.

Can you hear that little inner voice prompting your mind and pulling at your heart strings signaling to your body that change is needed?

Once you become awakened by a sudden life changing event, a tragic situation, near death experience or a wake up call, it is very much like a light just went on and for once you have a glimpse into the clarity of what your life is truly about. For that split moment you can see your past, present and future all intertwined and it’s as if you know that things will never be the same again. In fact they would be significantly different but all for the better as you actually realize that your life has an underlying purpose and that you want to live it fully and with meaning! This little seed of light that just got planted is awaiting that defining moment when your conscious and sub-conscious mind both come to the same conclusion that change is needed.

It’s Time to Take Drastic Measures?

Perhaps you need to make some drastic changes.  Like making a significant life change of out with the old or everything that no longer serves you presently.  Perhaps a new home, new job, change of scenery, new friends or finding new creative outlets that nurture you from inside and out.

After all, your job title does not define you.  Your spouse is your other half, but in order for you to feel complete and at peace with the flow of life – you need to feel wholeness and contentment with yourself first.  Love yourself – accept your body, mind, heart and spirit unconditionally and without any judgement or criticism.

Allow yourself to simply be in the moment.  To sit in silence and literally check in with your body, mind and heart feelings.

A Woman’s Worth

A diamond ring, a $1,000,000,000 or a pot of gold?

None of these monetary values can even compete to the real worth of a woman.

The softer, fairer and gentle sex from Venus is exactly that, the Divine Feminine Goddess of Beauty and Love.   A woman is nature’s example of true divine beauty, both inside and out, the Yin balance of loving, compassionate, calm, cool, curvy, precious, desirable and timeless.

Did you know that many women in today’s society do not consider themselves worthy of love, worthy to be treated as an equal to men in society and in the workplace, and most of all worthy to begin accepting and loving themselves.  Women are severely under appreciated in the home, in society and in the workplace – so it’s about time for women to reclaim and own their divine feminine greatness!  For YOU ARE ENOUGH!

As humans, YOU are your own worst enemy and as women, you are your most lethal critique when it comes to scrutinizing yourself for not being enough, judging yourself for not being smart enough or punishing yourself for not being skinny enough.

Since when did people’s opinions, thoughts and words matter more than your own true feelings, became more important than your own cravings, or ruled over your own true desires and steamrolled your own needs?

It’s time to BREAK THAT PATTERN of feeling unworthy, unloved and undeserving, quit the blame game of shame as you have punished yourself for far too long already!

How about those women that repeatedly keep getting involved with the wrong kind of guys that do not man up and treat you with the tender love and care that you seek.  If this seems to be a trend in your life, perhaps it’s time to take a look at your own self worth, how you treat yourself and whether or not you feel that you are worthy.

Know that you are worthy?  You are LOVE.  You are here to be loved and to give love unconditionally.  And that you are worth it.  You are enough!

Above all you must Love Yourself and Accept Yourself for all that you are physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

love me

If you continue to feel depressed, hopeless or unworthy because you are drowning in your own fear, anger, regret, worry and resentment from a past hurt, childhood trauma or unresolved conflict – please remember that FORGIVENESS is the LIBERATION OF THE SOUL.

Sometimes, when the darkness is overwhelming you it is hard to see the light of hope, love, peace and joy – but it’s all about changing your mindset, shifting your perspective from a fearful, limited and regretful lacking one to a loving, expansive and gratitude of abundance.

It is important to live your life from a place of gratitude, love and abundance and not resentment, hatred and scarcity.  Be grateful for your many blessings in your life, for every new day that you wake up, for the clean air that you breathe, for your baby’s smiling face and for the beauty that surrounds you in nature and in other living beings.

Sometimes, Music can help bring back the love into your life.  For when you let the music die in your house, the love is lost.  Through a combination of Music Therapy and Life Strategic Coaching, Nurture with Music and LifeSense can help you heal your life and restore the balance to your body, mind, heart and spirit.

Massage Therapy as Self Love

LIFE GETS BUSY, and sooner or later it takes over! And not in a good way.

Between your attempt to make ends meet, running a household, keeping your family together and not forgetting to have some fun occasionally – it is all too easy to forget about yourself, your wellness, your body and your overall well being.

It’s time to put yourself first for once.  It doesn’t matter whether you are an athlete, office worker or construction manager – your body will thank you for taking the time to notice that aching neck, that sore back or super tight quad muscles.  You shouldn’t have to live your life with a pain, ache or dysfunction.  Perhaps it is time to book that appointment with a Massage Therapist who can assess and review your body by palpating and massaging, touching your muscles and massaging the tension spots of your soft tissue and tendons with a fine tooth comb.

Massage Benefits

Why Choose Massage Therapy as your First Line of Defence?

Massage Therapy is not only for those fortunate ones with a life of luxury, or for those ladies of leisure who belong to those high-class luncheon clubs. In fact Massage Therapy offers benefits to a range of people, no matter what age, occupation or lifestyle – it should therefore be mandatory for every active person from the age of 12 through to 112!

Why is massage therapy necessary for optimal health and an active healthy life? 

In some cases you have already pre-diagnosed yourself at home having used the Internet, home remedy books or a piece of friend’s advice.  Typically, when you seek medical attention whether it is from your GP, a walk-in medical clinic, or a specialized procedures such as MRI, CT Scans or Surgery – you may be waiting in pain for days, weeks or months.  This is where massage therapy may offer significant benefits in helping you with more immediate pain relief, restoring physical function, or sustaining soft tissue and healthy muscles in your body.

Why not just listen to your body instead?

It knows better than any other person out there – try to be still and determine how you feel by listening to your body’s feelings, your heart, your mind and your inner soul (gut instinct or intuition). The answers are within you, and so is the capability for it to heal itself.

Stop putting in more poisonous substances and synthetic compounds into your body than you may already get from the food you eat, the air you breathe and the negative stress factors you are faced with in day-to-day life.

Massage Therapy is the most effective way to give your body a “once over” simply by having a 1 hour muscle relaxation massage with a registered massage therapist giving you professional, attentive and dedicated one-on-one care through “the power of touch“.  Stress relief is critical to your body functioning at its best. And what better way than to have somebody physically touch every muscular part of your body as a surface examination. You may discover pain points that you didn’t even know existed, and these could be the early tell tell signs of something bigger. So let Massage Therapy be your first line of defense.
