What is Holding You Back?

Just like with New Year's resolutions, we often have good intentions but don't follow through on them.  In order to create a meaningful and lasting spiritual practice, you need to identify and address any issues or concerns that your ego may have.  For example; you don't have time, you tried it in the past and it did not work, you are ADD so you can't meditate etc.  Remember, the ego likes the status quo because it knows how to deal with it.  Any type of change can feel threatening to the ego so it often creates resistance or puts barriers in the way of making life-enhancing changes.  On today's call (Monday Nov. 12th. 2-3pm ET) we are going to hear the concerns of your ego and help you obtain permission to develop a spiritual practice that feels right for you. 
 
Please register now for the call, even if you cannot attend the call live you will receive a link to the recording and can listen to it at your convenience.

I look forward to having you join us on this spiritual journey.  Until next time, be and love your true and wonderful self!

The Power of Spiritual Practices

Spiritual practices have played a big role in my life over the past 17 years. This is why I am so excited to invite you to attend a free informational call about creating and sticking to a Joyful and Transformative Spiritual Practice. 
 
Here are some of the benefits my practice has given me:

• I feel healthier, before my practice I was getting back-to-back colds and feeling run down.  
• I feel calmer and more patient, before I would have bursts of anger and physical rage. I don’t suppress them now, I just don’t feel them – in their place I tend to feel more compassion and patience, towards myself and others. 
• I feel more grounded and less stressed, before I used to sweat the small stuff, now I feel like I have more perspective and am able to deal with stress in a more productive way.

  Here’s what you will get out of Monday’s free call:

• What spiritual practices are and how they can benefit you
• How to commit to and stick with a spiritual practice

You will also learn:

• Why it is often difficult to keep to a spiritual practice and why discipline is not enough
• The 3 key elements or foundations of a spiritual practice
• The 4 must-have spiritual practices
• The secrets to creating a joyful practice

Is this the time for you to either explore or get more serious about your spiritual practice?  Please join myself and my spiritual teaching partner Galen Heistand.  To find out more about the free call and the 4-week course we will be offering please visit this link now.

I look forward to having you join us on this spiritual journey.  Until next time, be and love your true and wonderful self!

Anita Moorjani talks about Supporting Children with Cancer

Today’s question for Anita addresses the issue of caring for children with cancer. How best do parents and relatives support the children and console themselves?  Anita touches on the importance of not feeling guilty or blaming anyone and not having the children feel it is their fault.  The other key point that she makes is that it is essential for all caregivers to take care of themselves.  Although it is tempting, it is not productive to give all your time and energy to helping a child or loved one, leaving nothing left for yourself.  Anita’s message of loving yourself and bringing joy into your life applies equally to people healing from cancer and those dedicated parents and family members caring for a loved ones of any age. 

Please watch the short video and share your comments, concerns or ideas below or my Facebook page. 

Until next time, be and love your true and wonderful self!
