A Gentle Tool To Reflect On Your Year
Here we are at the end of a year and a decade, the perfect time to take a few minutes to use a gentle tool to reflect on your year. Perhaps you already journal, practice gratitude, look for the lessons of the past year or create an affirmation or word for the coming year. The tool I’m offering today is a little different than any of those valuable practices, and it can be used by children as well as adults anytime and every day if you like. I can’t take credit for thinking of this tool. I learned it from a friend’s Dad over a game of Bananagrams at Thanksgiving time. (You...
Read MoreBack To Basics: 10 Spiritual Laws To Remember and Practice
I had a session with a client recently and at one point we were talking about her meditation practice. She’s only been practicing for a short time, but she’s doing it daily and seeing the benefits. However, at this session, she mentioned her difficulty in “getting rid of her thoughts” and “getting her mind to be quiet.” We talked about how this is not really how the mind is built, nor is it a realistic goal of meditation. She said, “Oh, yes, I guess I forgot that,” which I thought was such a sweet and gentle acknowledgement of where she’d...
Read More4 Simple Practices For Healing The Wounded Heart
It’s that time of year again, when everything is hearts and flowers. Or is it? Does your heart need a little TLC right about now? Let’s talk about healing the wounded heart, which we’ll look at from the perspective of the ancient yogic system of the chakras. The challenges of the heart are love and balance. Located in the center position of the 7 chakras, or energy centers in the body, the heart chakra represents balance between the body and mind, and the material and spiritual aspects of life, meeting in perfect balance in the heart. In creating a strong heart chakra, we’re...

![[NEW PROGRAM] The most powerful growth work I’ve ever taught — are you in?](https://yourspiritedlife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/2-186x186.png)
For years I’ve been making noises about teaching what has been, hands down, the MOST POWERFUL personal growth work I’ve ever experienced, studied, or used with clients. I’ve only taught it once, several years ago. Lately I’ve finally felt, deep inside, that it’s time to teach it again. Maybe it was the Super Blue Blood Moon last week… You see it’s very deep work (not for everyone) and it’s intense to teach. This is because it works on the psychological, emotional, spiritual, physical, and energetic levels, so it creates big, deep, and life changing results. I’m ready and very excited...

Read MoreOverwhelmed? Scattered? The Truth About Navigating Life With Ease
Ever feel overwhelmed? When there are so many important things to attend to, you can wear yourself out trying to take care of everything and everyone — leaving you feeling scattered and exhausted. And often your own self care — and your hopes, and dreams — get bumped off your To Do list all together! But don’t despair — everyone feels like they can’t keep up with their own life sometimes. That time is flying by and important goals always get put on the back burner. And that feeling balanced and centered will never happen. I’ll let you in on a little secret: the elusive feeling...
Read MoreFinding Authenticity in Letting Go
For the last 2 years I’ve had a huge personal goal: down size to half the size of the house I live in (or less). Actually, it all started about 6 years ago, when I decided I would be letting go of half of my belongings. Books and clothes were easy; I got stalled on furniture and mementos, especially anything associated with family. All my Mom had to say was, “It was your grandmother’s,” and I’d move whatever it was from her dwindling attic to my overstuffed one. Then I found the decluttering phenomenon, Marie Kondo and the KonMari method, outlined in her best-selling book, Tidying Up, The...
