Should I eat that fattening desert?
Should I see that movie?
Should I take that job?
Which book to read?
What should I wear?
What expert should I listen to?
Which exercise plan should I follow?
Should I give up on this relationship?
Should I take this treatment/drug?

Or Get away from?

How you answer will create how much wellbeing flows into your life.

We are able to experience health, joy and abundance to the amount of wellbeing we have. When we have a sense of wellbeing, we are connected to our inner selves, the source of who we really are. All gates open to receive our birthright—a state in which we thrive.

So what is this thing called wellbeing? The proper definition is “A good or satisfactory condition of existence; a state characterized by health, happiness, and prosperity”. But we all know it is more than these words. It is a feeling that all is well and is devoid of any disparaging thoughts or feelings like envy, irritation, longing, craving, self-condemnation, neediness, frustration, anger, anxiety or fear. Without these negative feelings, whose root source is fear, wellbeing springs up from within, bringing with it healing, comfort, and blissfulness. In this state, ease replaces struggle, poor health conditions improve, and balance can be achieved.
Before you decide to become prosperous, live your purpose or fulfill your dreams, it is essential to discover your wellbeing. If you don’t, you will find it difficult to achieve anything, and you will be in a paradigm of action, hard work, and struggle to get where you want to go.
Bringing yourself into that state of wellbeing (which already exists within you) makes it all so much easier. And isn’t that what we really want? You can begin right now by following this simple suggestion.

When faced with a choice, ask yourself:

What do I want to do?
What does my heart say?
What feels good to me?
If I had my way…….( finish this sentence)
How does my gut feel when imagining each choice?

That’s it. Not hard, yet we find it hard to rationalize what our heart is telling us. If we do follow our heart, gut, instinct, we will be moving closer to wellbeing, always.

We all get busy with the outward actions we think are necessary to reach our goals, so much so that we lose sight of listening to our heart and intuition. It’s a good place to begin.

The changes that are here and the changes that are coming are a call to all of us. We can resist change with our heels dug in, loudly decry our circumstances, or open up to new possibilities in the world and in our lives. There is potential now to find balance within ourselves, our financial lives and the greater economic experience.

See not strife, but opportunity—not imbalance, but essential wellbeing—not failure, but prosperity.

Now is the time to prepare for the next economic boom.

Attend this talk if you are ready to express your life with all you were meant to be.

Afterward we will have an optional group meditation.

There is usually such a woman in the back of the room when I give a public talk! It is mysterious yet quite welcome. My eyes gravitate to this sort of archetypal woman over and over again. And with the rush of people after the talk, I look and she is gone. She was at the cruise in Alaska, with an air of quiet wisdom. I was enamored with her energy of adventurousness and joyful sense of self. I want to be like her as I grow older, gracefully wearing my age, appreciating every line on my face, wrapping my body in colorful, attractive clothing, and moving through life with elegance. Around her one would feel safe, understood, approved of, and aided if need be. She’s not loud or calling attention to herself. I imagine her slipping in and out of people’s lives being of tremendous service, yet not looking for celebrity or adulation.

Understanding this archetype’s importance in my life gives me insights into my own personality, purpose and uniqueness. Perhaps, for me, this symbolizes a possible future self. And discovering yours will do this for you.

Over the last 100 or so years our Western culture has held high the merits of being an extravert. From Dale Carnegie to Tony Robbins we have taken the message of being bold, outspoken, and action oriented to be the ideal in today’s competitive work world.  Make your self noticed, be charming, garner attention, and act commanding.

At the same time the introvert, those who happen to listen more to their inner voice than the world stage, were seen as lacking. The school system has often tried to force the quiet ones into team activities to bring them out. Even the psychological community seemed to miss the treasures that lie within these individuals, preferring everyone be outgoing.

We are now learning that these ‘creatives’ are integral to our society going forward. These are the Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Warren Buffets, even Einsteins and many other unassuming leaders in every industry from manufacturing, services, self-growth and education who value their solitary time and go out to speak only because it is necessary to fulfill their purpose. The creatives are becoming more noticeable in our culture because of media and technology, (which they had a heavy hand in creating by the way).

Looking back I now see why–when I entered the business world, becoming a stock broker barely over 30, trying to be like the gregarious, talkative men in our office–I felt so stressed. I was an introvert wearing the mask of an extravert. I now see why I felt so exhausted by the end of the week. I was pushing myself out of my natural leanings, using up vast amounts of energy making my normally quiet self perform as I thought was expected.

Eventually I created my own business with my own tempo and environment, so prosperity and purpose could easily find me. The clients I attract now are those who understand what I offer them and I understand what they want. They are my tribe.

Introverts need more time alone to recharge. They become very productive and innovative when they are left to their own timeline of purpose. Introverted isn’t being shy, though some are. More often they are quite socially competent, just more inner focused.

And now I know why the quiet women of wisdom catch my attention. This is my ideal, where it feels natural to embrace and hopefully become. Through my self-education I somehow took in the message to be something else.

Knowing who you really are can be as simple as noticing that reappearing archetype in your life; the one who stands out to you like a beacon. And there you will find your prosperity and purpose.

All the flaws in our system are cracking open for us to see. Amidst the abundance it brought, there was also dishonesty, corruption and the hopeless attempt to find happiness with the commercialization of our lives.

We may seem to be pulled in ways we’ve never experienced before. The new changes are becoming so obvious, so strong, that the awareness is unavoidable. The imminent destruction and re-integration of a new paradigm has begun.

I am as ignorant of exactly how this will all unfold as any other human on earth. We just feel its approach, its energy, its pulse. It is most important now that we take good care of ourselves and others in our lives. We must keep a sense of purpose and remain flexible to enable our success.

Imaginal cells are those cells created from the disintegration of the caterpillar in its cocoon and those cells morph into the butterfly.  Just like imaginal cells, many of us are being called to rise and bloom into a higher consciousness to solve, heal and comfort the world.

We have a greater opportunity now than ever before to position ourselves to thrive, balance, prosper, and experience wellbeing. Within chaos is the emerging pattern of a new way to exist, new freedom, equality, and compassion for our fellow sentient beings on this planet.

In the gestalt that is our lives, we have several areas that need our attention and just thinking about them can be overwhelming—but it can be very simple. Healing and raising awareness in one area affects the whole. For instance, taking care of our bodies gives us a sense of wellbeing. Reducing our debt or tackling our retirement plan also gives a sense of wellbeing; and spending some time daily in gratitude or meditation connects us to our higher self, bringing a feeling of peace. These are actually one activity: self love, self care, and merging with the infinite.

Benefiting from the changes coming:

Following every economic constriction, which we are now experiencing deeply, comes an economic expansion. Just like a rubber band stretched to its limit, the economy comes swiftly back with the force in the other direction. Now is the time to position yourselves, whether in business, a new career, more schooling, new financial plan, or any other new direction you feel inspired to go.

How do you know which way to go? Where to invest? What your purpose is? In my talk at the Natural Awakenings Health Expo February 25th at 12:30 we will discuss the details!

We, as conscious beings, are aware that we are aware of ourselves.  More often we seem to use this ability to think thoughts that lead to suffering like worry and regrets, yet we can also use this awareness to discover new sources of happiness!  With our consciousness, we are aware of our bodies, our emotions, and our judgments.  As we grow in awareness, raising our consciousness, we find more and more that we are the director of our life’s play.

If we “resolve” to raise our consciousness as opposed to making a list of resolutions, we are on a path to create balance and wellbeing in all areas of our lives.  Our decisions become more in alignment with what is truly in our own and other’s best interest, whether it is financial, health related or career path.  And we have built-in guidance which becomes evident as we learn to pay attention. Still make those lists of intentions and desires but with the expectation of being given the steps.

Every thought, event, object, plan, desire, news story, idea, sensation, and emotion stirs a corresponding reaction within us that is registered in our bodies.  It can be reduced to a feeling of either expansion or constriction.  So the simplest path to our growth, purpose, happiness and accomplishment is listening with awareness.

You can’t stop evolving when you create the habit of listening to your body, your thoughts, and your inner being; and not only listen, but use this information to make decisions, big or small.  We have all had the experience of realizing we knew when a decision we were making wasn’t the best idea but we went ahead anyway.  Once we focus on raising awareness, we inevitably make wiser, more beneficial decisions.

This is the year of raising consciousness.  Expect wisdom to grace your life.  Go for what expands you, pay attention to what is before you now, move toward what opens your heart, lifts your spirit and fosters your growth.

This will also protect you from the tumultuous year this will be for some.  As the old patterns fall away we will all be shedding the toxic old emotional gestalts and beliefs, and those who resist this will feel more pain.  When you are conscious and aware, you can observe this happening in you and be present with it, allowing it to pass through.

To accelerate this process in you, spend time alone in meditation or prayer.  Developing a good daily practice of going inward, finding balance and peace, will allow your consciousness to rise as easily as a cork bobbing to the surface of water and you will carry that stability throughout your day.

A big part of my teaching is financial health and I know many of you desire this.  Know that it is just an idea away.  The actions you will take from an expansive place will move you toward this and you will see what is required next.  I and other coaches are ready to support you here.  You will find the information you need.

Changing the world is all about changing one individual at a time.  We, together, create the mass consciousness that will foster a better world for everyone.

Everything in life can be viewed through the phenomenon of duality. In my meditation course, I teach about the ego and the spirit, the left brain and the right brain, the head and the heart. To experience joy and wellbeing we need to have a balance of both.

When we veer too far into one territory for too long, we lose balance and we cease to remain open and effective, thus limiting our experience. We may become increasingly judgmental of others who disagree with our ideas. And we deny ourselves the opportunity to expand our knowledge due to limited flexibility. Within each of us is a full range of emotions, attributes, dreams, gifts, and passions. By limiting the expression of these, we reduce our potential.

We all know instinctively which tendencies we have; whether we focus more on heart-based thoughts and motivations or on the rational mind.

I’m in a unique situation due to my work in a male-dominated industry that focuses on outward actions and rational thinking. At the same time, I have always been drawn to the spiritual path. This is like having membership in two tribes! Being a part of both has provided me with an unusual education.

I try to honor and appreciate each tribal aspect within myself and in the world.

Within the spiritual community, we find inspiration, a connection to a power greater than ourselves, and the joy of unfolding discoveries from studying holy texts and words from the enlightened. Compassion, nurturing, healing, and self-growth are highly valued. Individuals with right-dominant brains, those that are heart-centered with creative energy, are drawn to this tribe.

The left-dominant brain community is egocentric, rational and action-oriented. The energy of these individuals has a focus on the manifestation of ideas, progress and the dynamics of taking an invention and producing it for the masses. They excel with accomplishments in medicine, science, manufacturing, commerce, modernization, and lifestyle improvements.

When these energies get out of balance, we see people in the spiritual tribe failing to make a decent living and having a deficit of ideas and actions that would successfully provide them a sense of prosperity. Or, they may have a reluctance to move out of their comfort zone, preferring to seek joy in their reverence for the divine without balancing it with bold action.

On the other hand, some are so outwardly-oriented and action-based that they, too, are out of balance. They may be very successful financially but lack self-knowledge and a sense of who they are. Their continual outward focus robs them of deep inner insights, and the joy that rises from within.

Both extremes can cause health problems, stress-related illnesses, anxiety, unhappiness and a lack of purpose. We need to be integrated members of both tribes. A beautiful illustration of this by Kahlil Gibran can be found here:  On Reason and Passion

What is disturbing now is the increasing gap between these two energies, or impulses. We see it everywhere, most obviously in the political climate.

Those of one viewpoint seem to only listen to others who hold the same opinions and judgments. This one-sidedness is fracturing the country into different hard lines and no one is listening. Coming together and listening with the heart and the head is a tall order, but necessary — and it all begins with us. We all want the same thing: a robust, vibrant, and growing economy and citizens that care for one another. As we integrate ourselves, bringing our shadow sides out into the open, honoring our own thoughts and those of others and being open to the validity of the opinions of others, we can begin a conversation that will put us on a healing path.

Like most of you, I have my own opinions and prejudices, but my intention is to try to remain open, listen to all opinions and learn more about transpartisanship* — to hear and speak with respect.

Let’s find balance.

*Mission: Change the divide and conquer political game by building trust, respect and communication among citizens and leaders.

When we experience hard times we ‘feel’ like it will go on endlessly. It never does. Things continue to change. It is against all natural forces to become completely stagnant, frozen and remaining unchangeable into the future.

All in life is fluid, moving through the cycles of the planets, moon, and the whole universe. Our own bodies continually balance the millions of miniscule and gross actions to support our organism.

The course of commerce also flows, waxes and wanes.  It seeks a balance between buying price and selling price, supplying and manufacturing, and marketing and consumption. It flows to meet our expectations. This can get out of balance just as the Earth or our bodies get out of balance, causing a temporary excess in one direction.

But it is just seeking to return itself back to balance.

The most important component to find this balance again? You and me, through our actions, our thoughts, our attitudes, beliefs, and expectations for the future. When we are convinced it will get better, it will. But we must be convinced.

The “recovery” will come and most people will be taken by surprise.

There are so many books out now, predicting a dire future, economic collapse, global disarray and re-alignment of powers; the rise of precious metals as the only meaningful value for trade, and loss of our present standard of living.

I’ve heard and seen this sentiment several times over the years. This time, it is different due to wide-spread belief that this heralds an end of the world scenario or the end of democracy, etc.

Imagine their surprise when people slowly wake up to the reality that companies still make great products and services and sell them and people still buy them. Companies will begin to expand and hire again. And this will sweep us into the next era, bruised, but more appreciative of our wonderful system of supply and demand; a natural and organic force responsive and intimately connected to each one of us.

We will have learned several important lessons, however. We will be changed by this in profound ways. We are evolving into a new sort of human being that sees money not as an end, but solely as a tool to aid us in a fruitful and heartfelt life.

We have been shaken hard. The ones who remain flexible, introspective, and creative will absolutely thrive in the coming new economy. This new robust future will only be realized by the individuals who can sense the needs and wants of a new culture and its shift in consciousness.

The old ways are waning, and there is pain in the chaos of it all. But I am eager and excited to watch what unfolds. It is important for all of us to envision this inevitable bright future. Let’s move now from the lethargy and pessimism that is pervasive into hope, optimism, abundance and joy.

If you believe this message you are one of our new leaders and much will be expected of you!
