Who am I….really?

Did you ever ask yourself this question?  I have.  When we were children, our beliefs were formulated by our parents, teachers, and religious doctrines.  We wanted to fit in and be accepted and loved, so we started to create a false persona to get the approval that we needed.  We desperately wanted to be the “special” one.

Some of us succeeded in creating an idealized or imaginary self, that gets love and approval, while others outwardly rebelled, rejecting society’s systems…..ironically, both of these survival techniques are the same.  No one is actually being true to their real self; our defenses constantly…

 Spring Cleaning….in more ways than one!

Today is the first day of spring and a very powerful day. On this special day, we can look into our own lives and clean out what is no longer necessary. The recent flooding is a good opportunity to throw things out that no longer serves us anymore; this includes both the material, as well as emotional debris that we carry within ourselves.  Make this a joyful celebration of “LETTING GO.”

As buds and seeds start to sprout, it’s an opportunity to start preparing the ground work for creating what you want in your life…….unfortunately, most of us spend time focusing…

 2012….the end or the beginning!

Everyday, I have clients ask me what I think will happen in 2012.  The media has certainly created doom and fear, while the latest Hollywood film “2012″ simply ignites the terrors that are held in popular belief.  Recent earthquakes and violent weather patterns seem to support this doomsday mentality.  Some of the contributing factors for this fear include  the end of the Mayan calendar in the year 2012 and the media’s depiction of Nostradamus’ dark predications on the History channel and the Book of Revelations that depicts an apocalypse ending for all of us sinners.

I see things differently.  With my…

 Learning to Love

There are very few who truly know how to love.  Most of us are operating on an ego based personality, looking towards another human being to fill the cracked holes within ourselves.  Early in a relationship, our hearts and minds are filled with euphoria and happiness, like a box of chocolates.  This tastes so good.  We start to associate that the other person is making us feel this way.  Then reality sets in like a dark cloud and the ‘blame game’ begins.  You begin to say “you don’t bring me flowers anymore; you did this to me;  you make me feel…

 Lady in Red…..STOP forcing pain in your life!

The real question is why are we creating so much pain in our life?   Our whole society is addicted to pain and the only way out for most of us is drugs and alcohol.  We want a quick fix.  What can we do differently?  First a quick story…..

 Saturdays in the afternoon you can find me dressing women in my daughter’s boutique “Twilight.”  I have always had a passion for fashion since childhood and it really balances out the inner work I do with clients Monday thru Friday. Saturday is for feeling good on the outside.  A couple of weeks ago…

 Cherish or Perish ~ Balloon Boy, Jon & Kate, Michael Jackson

CHERISH…..what a lovely word.  Our children need to be cherished. Society says that children are our national treasure, but our actions say otherwise.  The recent balloon boy incident is clearly a demonstration of using children for the parents’ own self-interest.  The poor child spoke the truth and seconds later, vomited in fear of his father’s wrath. Michael Jackson is another example of a child used for his Father’s ambitions;  he  craved for his childhood to be returned to him by creating his Neverland ranch.  Clearly Michael never healed from being forced into the spotlight and abuse. Fame and fortune never…

 Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant - #6 Find Fulfillment within Yourself!

Golden Rule #6 - Find fulfillment within yourself!

I have often heard excited new mothers stating that they felt complete after giving birth. It is wonderful to feel complete with a new baby, but really believing your words can ultimately lead you down a difficult road with your relationship with your child.  No one here on earth is here to complete you. This is your job. Wholeness comes from within.  The more you accept this as a truth, you will not be placing unrealistic expectations on your child. How many people have you witnessed that are living through their children?

What to…

 Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant - #4 Reconnect with your Soul!

Golden Rule # 4 - Reconnect with your Soul! 

How often do you think about your soul or spiritual self?  We spend so much time thinking about our physical being, but sparing moments contemplating our own soul. The soul is everlasting but our bodies are mortal. Get in touch with your spirituality …whatever that means to you. 

Our spiritual nature needs to be a daily happening. The more you get in touch with your true spiritual nature, the more positive influence you’ll be for your unborn child.  Bliss and beauty are eternal principles available to all, but it comes from an “internal”…

 Shaman Mother’s “7″ Golden Rules before you get pregnant - #3 Heal your own Birth Experience!

Golden Rule #3 - Heal your own Birth Experience……..“Ludicrous” was my reaction to a friend twenty years ago, when she shared her rebirthing healing session with me. What a bunch of new age nonsense, I arrogantly thought. I felt that people were just addicted to healing and searching for another reason to why they were so unhappy. I don’t have any birth trauma…..…boy was I wrong!

 Women - it’s not what you eat….it’s what’s eating you!

In my twenty-plus years of work as a Shamanic Healer, I’ve helped many women with weight problems. It’s easy to use excuses like having children and our genetic makeup for this critical challenge.    Based on observation and my experience, I’ve come to believe that extra weight is the physical armor we put on ourselves when we feel emotionally vulnerable. To lose weight - and keep it off — requires a combination of deliberate thoughts, self-love, and action.

For many overweight women, the problems begin during childhood. When I was a little girl, I was punished every night for not eating all…
