Endings: The Invitation To A New Adventure

Encore: Money- Creating It, Receiving It, Having it...

We make it all about money, but the truth is, it’s all about vulnerability. Are we willing to commit to ourselves and choose what we want? Are we willing to ask for what we want? Are we willing to go for what we desire? And are we willing to actually RECEIVE it, however it shows up? Money- Creating It, Receiving It, Having it… Are you willing to live your truth, enjoying your desires, and receive the beauty and magic of your life and creations?

Encore: Money- Creating It, Receiving It, Having it...

Are YOU a Leader for a Different Reality?

Have you always known there was more possible in the world? Maybe you had a sense that there was more magic, more wonder and more beauty available than what most other people saw or noticed. Maybe there places in nature that you have been that bring your body alive or give you a sense of profound peace. Did you know many people are unaware of the subtle energies and perceptions that are second nature to you? Even if they seem far away in this moment they are there waiting for you. What if...

The Art of Contribution

We live in a world where there is a lot of focus on “What is in it for me? What will I get out of it?” and the maximization of profits over people, communities and the natural world. What would it be like if we began to look for what can contribute to creating a greater more conscious world? What could that create in our bodies, our beings and on our beautiful planet?

Encore: The Magic of You and Your Body

When you begin to release the “lockdown” that your body has been trapped in for years (and sometimes even decades) you are inviting a new possibility of communion with your body. In so doing, you may experience: shame, pain and/or pleasure as you become radically and orgasmically alive. (1) Shame: How might you free yourself from this shame? (2) Pain: How might you release the pain while increasing your awareness for how your body is a contribution to others? (3) Pleasure: When you come ...

Encore: Healing: Going Back to the Foundation

Everybody has experienced some kind of trauma during their lifetime, either physical, emotional, spiritual or mental. Surrender is necessary if resistance is present healing cannot happen. Also, you have to go all the way to the foundation in order to allow healing to follow its course. If you had trauma in the past, you cannot skip over it, it will come back to remind you that it has unsolved issues which need to be addressed in order to overcome the limitations and open wounds. We create s...

What do YOU know about Bodies?

What do YOU Know about Bodies? What if you know more about bodies than you have ever acknowledged? Beyond the shoulds and the supposed to and points of views around bodies, what do you know? Have you ever looked at a lover or a friend and just known that they needed a touch or a hug or something to eat or they were in some kind of discomfort? Those are some of the ways of body knowing. What do YOU know?

The Creation of Choosing

How often are we asking for something to show up while waiting to see what happens before choosing. What if we have it backwards and the choosing is where creation truly begins?

The Essence of Space

Do you fill the space in the room with other things, people and doing? Are you avoiding the space of you? We often look at the time without others, things or doing as alone, and what if you can never truly be alone as you have you?

Coming Home To You

Are you looking to others to know who you be? Do you choose relationships for someone to come home to? If you are choosing to always ensure that you have someone to come home to so you never have to be alone with you, you keep yourself from truly being and knowing you.

Encore: Allowance, The Art of Loving

Allowance gives us the possibility to stop looking for love, instead finds the portal for love to enter our reality. With allowance by our side we can become an instrument for love, we can let ourselves and others be what we and what they choose to be. Allowance will clear the path for loving ourselves beyond our story of abuse, neglect, suffering, bullying, etc. Because if love is universal nobody can be left out. Allowance is having no judgment, everything is just a choice and is the space ...

The Distance Between Us-Relationships Uncovered

Is your relationship the creation of what else is possible? In the reality relationships are actually the distance between two things. If you are creating from the space of what else is possible, there is no room for expectations, judgments and fixed positions. What can relationship be if we uncover the lies hidden in the distance we create between us and others and us and ourselves?

Gaslight No More

Is it time to free yourself from the Gaslighting in your reality? Whether it's done by others or by yourself, gaslighting is a form of abuse that creates doubt and destruction in your world and stops you from being you, from being joyful and radically alive. Is now the time to stop the Gaslighting?

Encore: Relationships: The Danger of the Unspoken Subtext

The unspoken subtext of our relationships brew and become magnets for a whole bunch of lies and unmet expectations that lead to disappointment, rejection and separation. Is it possible to create relationships without the subtext? Oh… relationships. Why is it that we don’t actually say what we mean? Why are we surprised when we discover we’re not really on the same page after all but rather in two totally different stratospheres?

Encore: It's Not What You're Eating, It's What's Eating You

If you’re carrying around mass density and obesity that doesn’t feel like you… chances are… it’s not you. Who are you being? What judgments are you eating? What hatred are you hoarding? What bodies are you carrying? Are you numbing your awareness? Eating when you’re not hungry? Eating for the person next to you instead of you? How much longer are you going to resist and refuse being the body you’re intrinsically designed to be? Is it time to be in your own body? Is it time to realize how amaz...

Blindsided- outside of your reality, unaware, or something else.

Has something ever caught you off guard? You didn’t see it coming. When it’s not in your reality, it’s often unseen and hidden. When you cut off your awareness something can show up to blindside you and sometimes it’s just something else.

Exclusion - Inclusion and Choosing

What does it take to choose to be in communion with you even when you sense exclusion? What would it look like to experience exclusion without EVER leaving yourself? To choose you no matter what anyone else ever chooses, and even if they don’t choose YOU. Are you willing to show up as kindness, forgiveness and gratitude, and keep choosing you, all while including you?

Who Are You Being In Relationship?

It may seem an odd question to ask, yet it’s an important one: who are you being in relationship? Are you actually being your mom in the way you perceive, interact with and treat your romantic partner? Are you being your dad? Your grandma? Your uncle? And what about your partner? Chances are, they’re also interacting with you from the place and patterns, perspectives and limitations they picked up from their own mom, dad, grandma, or grandfather. So what we end up with are two people who thin...

Encore: I Hated Being Fat

Do you ever feel like your external existence (aka your body) doesn’t match your internal sense of who you truly be? When I was at my highest weight, I hated being fat. When I looked at my body, I didn’t see me, I saw the hatred of my mother, the judgments of others, and it didn’t match who I knew myself to be. The fat was the cage that imprisoned me and kept abuse alive in my reality. No matter what I did to change my body, I couldn’t get rid of the weight. This isn’t a judgment about weight...

Embrace Your ROAR: Being Comfortable with Discomfort

Imagine living your Radically Orgasmic Alive Reality… Sounds delicious and pleasurable, yes? It absolutely is! AND… the truth is, at first it can be absolutely uncomfortable! When you’ve lived much of your life in the invisible cage of abuse, believing that lack, limitation and judgment are true, the experience of ease and enjoyment, pleasure and possibilities is unfamiliar. And we have a tendency to associate unfamiliar with bad and wrong. We doubt ourselves: is it okay to be fully, radicall...

The Lies Of Money

Who are you being with money? What are you being with money? What lies are you buying into with money? These are the questions you must ask to unravel yourself from the lies and myths of money that lock you into limitation so you never have the ease and abundance with money that’s possible. If you’re not having the experience you desire with money… if you’ve got piles of debt you can never get out from under, if you keep hitting that glass ceiling with your income, or even if you’ve got enoug...

The MeToo Movement: Possibility or Limitation - or Both?

The #metoo movement struck a chord in women around the world. All of a sudden there was a permission slip, an invitation, to come forward with our stories of past sexual abuse. But when does telling our story free us and when does it lock us further in our own cage of abuse? When does public sharing of our stories empower us and when does it stick us in judgment or even shame? What has the #metoo movement done to bring us closer together versus alienate men and women? As Oprah shared at the G...

What Are You Hiding From?

When you are subject to trauma dissociation can happen, and it prevents you from being you because of the inability to recognize and receive your awareness. Trauma will create a barrier between you and what is possible, and you hide behind that wall of points of views of what is wrong or right, good or bad, numbing you to the point choosing for you is not an option. Then, someone or something else becomes the main character of your life and the cycle of distraction gets perpetuated. So, what...

Space As Creation

Space as creation, are you willing to have it? During this time of year, time stands still, everything seems to slow down allowing the space to perceive our relationships, business and work from a different perspective, from a space of radical aliveness. We have more time to just be and forget about the hectic lifestyle we normally have. Also, this space can be uncomfortable and unfamiliar, which can create a sense of anxiety, depression, and the feeling that something is wrong. What if inste...

What Do You Do When You Are Dissatisfied?

What do you do when nothing feels right? The end of the year can trigger a chain reaction when you start reviewing your goals/targets, what has been accomplished and what has not been completed. The unknown of what lays ahead regarding your body, relationships, work, etc. might resurface trauma and that can be very limiting, especially when you think things will be better but they are not improving, at least not at the speed you desire, nothing seems to be satisfying and is really uncomfortab...

Encore: Committing to Your Life: The Key to Closing Your Back Door Forever

If having a Plan B in relationship is your back door, what’s your Plan A? And if having a Plan B creates dissatisfaction and dysfunction, what’s possible with a Plan A? What is Plan A? Committing to your own life. Committing to YOU. Choosing YOU. What’s possible when you commit to your own life?

Encore: Terrorist of Self Abuse

Are you still punishing, abusing or terrorizing you? Have you spent years healing from your childhood abuse only to find that it’s still showing up for you in the form of self-abuse? Self Abuse can be subtle. It can show up as a harsh inner critic that won’t let you rest for a second. It can make itself known to you when you don’t take care of yourself, work yourself to exhaustion and you can’t stop or don’t know why you keep doing it. How are the ingrained patterns of abuse still ru...

Ritual Abuse: The Underbelly Exposed

The term of “Ritual Abuse” is used to describe a particular form of abuse, (predominantly of children), involving organized ritual as the central feature. It also involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time where the physical abuse is severe and the psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual indoctrination. There are different points of views about Ritual Abuse that can make the recovery long and tedious. Being present and out of judgment about what happen...

Mediocrity: The Cage of Limitation

Many times, we replicate nature’s cycles in our reality. Trees lose their leaves during fall season to conserve energy and survive the freezing temperatures of winter. We tend to stop and numb our creative force when it gets dark and cold, it can show up as money demands by family members, external pressure to stay small and be something that is not authentic. This conditioning to not be the potent being we are meant to be comes as brainwashing and hardwiring. Brainwashing is a particularly ...

JAILS the Invisible Parasite

The secret agendas like all parasites benefit by depriving the host of the source of nourishment and energy, in this case, the creative and receiving flow. The secret agendas are always lurking in the shadows waiting to strike. Is like when you are creating something special and you feel great and everything seems to come to fruition with ease and suddenly the energy flow stops and nothing moves anymore. These secret agendas validate who you have decided you are, they allow to maintain the l...

Brakes: Problems Or Possibilities

We often create brakes in our life or reality, and these brakes can be received as a problem or a possibility. Problems are judgments of the situation or circumstances, we have the tendency to make them wrong or bad. But the situation itself is not bad or wrong, our perception and beliefs create either problems or possibilities. We use huge amounts of energy trying to understand, label and categorize our experiences in this reality, often polarizing them within what is bad or good, right or ...

Emotional Abuse - Choosing youEmotional Abuse - Choosing you

Emotional abuse can take many forms from verbal aggression to jealous and dominant behaviors. It involves sustained and repetitive patterns that escalate over time rewriting the victim’s core beliefs to agree with name calling, bullying, blaming and shaming as normal and acceptable. Choosing you is the first step to creating a life beyond abuse, a life filled with happiness, ease, joy, and glory. Abuse generates patterns and beliefs to choose against you, and when you are set free from the c...

Encore: Communion: Before and Beyond Abuse

Encore: Unlocking Your Voice: Ending the Silence of Abuse

Many people who experienced childhood sexual abuse were silenced in shame and threatened if they spoke up.

Encore: The 4 D's: What They Are and How They Keep You Trapped in Abuse

During abuse, your resourceful young self used coping strategies to try and protect yourself from the pain. Some of these coping strategies, which I refer to as the 4 D’s, are: - Denial - Defending - Disconnecting - Dissociating These behaviors served you at the time. The problem is, you continue to use these behaviors to cope in life as an adult, when they no longer serve you. Instead, they keep you locked up inside an invisible cage, where you become your own eternal jailer. That’s why i...

Encore: Make Friends with the Cage of Abuse

Life inside the cage of abuse becomes familiar. The feelings of worthlessness. The repeated patterns of “not enough” or “less than” in all areas of your life: health, relationship, wealth. So when you begin the journey of moving beyond abuse, and leaving the cage, something quite surprising occurs… The freedom, pleasure and possibility you experience is so unfamiliar that it can feel shocking, scary, crazy, and all you want to do is crawl back into the cage. So how do you leave the cage o...

Have You Been Judged or Hated-Diagnosed as Wrong, Bad or Evil?

By giving power to the judgment and hate from others we get trapped within the lie and that is devastating for our creative force. Many times, in our existence we have been labeled as wrong, bad or even evil because we decided something did not work for us or because we chose something different. We can see through human history how wrongness, bad and evil have been used to control and subdue entire countries or cultures. As powerful these tools might seem to be, there are other sets of tools...

Thriving After Surviving a Natural Catastrophe

Mother Nature can surprise us with an array of disasters such hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, accidents, etc. For the most part, these events are sudden, unexpected and overwhelming and they can cause PTSD and other emotional responses.

Encore: Moving Beyond Tragedy with special guests Anthony and Elijah Mattis

Five years ago Anthony’s wife Jessica, mother of Elijah, Vincent and Arial, committed suicide. This devastating event was their family...

Encore: The Body Speaks: Tapping Into The Secrets Of The Universe

When you don’t listen to your body, you obscure the channel of communication with your body and the Universe. When you tune into your Body Speak, and act on your awareness, you cultivate communion not only with your body but with the Universe as well. This allows you to tune your instrument (your body and being) to the frequencies of the Universe. This taps you into the secrets of the Universe and supports you in creating harmony in all areas of your life. I know it may sound really woo wo...
