So as long as you have doubts, you cannot enter the miracle zone." - David GhiyamSpiritual teacher David Ghiyam unravels the hidden barrier preventing most people from manifesting financial abundance - doubt. He explains how doubt acts as a gatekeeper, blocking entry to what he calls "the world of miracles" where transformation and prosperity flow freely. With profound insight, David illuminates why many remain trapped in financial struggles despite positive attributes and good intentions, revealing that only those who cultivate absolute certainty can access this realm of unlimited possibility.David uses powerful metaphors to illustrate how our spiritual choices determine our life's path - comparing doubt to reprogramming your GPS to take a 19-hour route instead of a direct 3-hour journey. He warns that transformation will eventually come to everyone, but those who resist will face a painful, roundabout path filled with chaos and suffering. Like quitting smoking proactively versus waiting for a lung cancer diagnosis, David challenges listeners to surrender negativity willingly before life forces change through difficult circumstances.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter
Episode hosted by Marci Shimoff of Living in the Miracle Zone Podcast: What if a peaceful world, a balanced, healthy, and happy life, and the ascension of the masses to a fulfilling existence was all possible in the now? In today's episode, we delve into Dr. Tony Nader's miracle zone to learn about the science behind consciousness, the impact of Transcendental Meditation on global harmony, and how to create the conditions for miracles to happen in our lives. Dr. Tony Nader is a renowned medical doctor trained at Harvard and MIT, with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, and a globally recognized Vedic scholar. He is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's successor and the head of the international Transcendental Meditation® organization in over 100 countries. In his latest book, "Consciousness Is All There Is," Dr. Nader concludes that the supreme consciousness we all dream about is us; it hides in each living being on Earth. Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Dr. Nader's childhood in Beirut, and how the civil war he witnessed first-hand shaped his worldview, leading him to formulate profound questions about human existence and purpose on Earth. Dr. Nader also gifts us a masterclass on the science behind consciousness, the endless benefits of practicing Transcendental Meditation, and how it can impact global consciousness. You'll also get practical tips to incorporate meditation practices into your routine and learn about the value of finding a community to meditate with. Finally, Dr. Nader talks about the Maharishi Effect and how a small number of people practicing mindfulness and meditation can change the world, how to create positive feedback loops, and so much more. "We have within us the full potential to live a happy, healthy life, and that is a potential that can be uncovered. We can be masters of our destiny." - Dr. Tony Nader.

https://enlighteninglife.com/pluto-in-aquarius/We experienced a major turning point in the 3D/5D ascension integration, the entry of Pluto into Aquarius. Now Pluto does change signs every 15 to 20 years so this is another Pluto transit but it is more than that. With Pluto in Capricorn since January 2008 we had a front row experience of 3D and it was not a pretty sight. Especially in the last 5 years, from 2019, we have seen the worst of 3D, had the most dense energy of 3D exposed, and we have lived to talk about it.Now we are on a new trajectory, we have more support for our ascension path, and we have new portals and new energies to work with. Pluto in Aquarius will be another level of the ‘age of enlightenment, which is what the previous Aquarius transit was called, which happened from 1778 to 1798. Pluto will be in Aquarius until 2044 so we have a lot of time to work with this energy.Aside from being extremely transformative, Pluto transits are generational, so an entire generation is affected by the energy it brings, in Aquarius this energy is far different from Capricorn and we can expect a lot of growth, awareness, transformation, and movement now.Some of the major transformations I see as possible are:Further dis-integration of the 3D paradigm meaning more exposure of the corruption, collusion, control, and counter humanity activities. Everything from corporatism to the attempt to create human robots will be exposed. And people are no longer willing to tolerate these incursions on their lives, rights, and liberties. An awakened population is empowered with the 5d energies of cooperation, collaboration, community, connection, and creativity.A greater desire for fulfillment in life, on all levels. If you remember the consumerism of the 1980s and 1990s welcome to the simplicity of 2025 and beyond. We have all of the stuff, now we want peace, joy, love, and true wealth of heart, mind, and spirit.More attention to self fulfillment, self awareness, and community. We no longer want to live apart, separated from our energetic collective. We want our energetic family and friends, we want to build communities and live in harmony with each other and with the other. Have you noticed how many people are interested in the home made and hand made movement now? Activities that were once labeled as vintage and old fashioned, like cooking, canning, gardening, farming, and animal husbandry and now in vogue.More political activity but not politicking. We have seen what political laziness has accomplished, as our world was nearly stolen from us while we watched reality tv, played video games, or binged on Netflix. Even if you are not interested in running for political office, being energetically engaged in our world and the reality we live in is now an imperative. We must be intentional creators, aware of how we are using our energy and fully engaged with our energy.Read the rest of the article on the blog Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

https://enlighteninglife.com/energy-disruptorsIn more than 20 years of writing and over 5000 articles I have never discussed the topic of people and situations that disrupt our energy in one single article as I am going to do today. This is a difficult topic because we all have one or more of these energy disruptors in our lives. Whether it's the family that rejects or judges you, friends who betray you, work or business colleagues who steal your work (I have a lot of experience in this area), people who are deliberately mean to you, are jealous of you, or who try to put you down in any way, or situations that drag you down, this is a very common occurrence in our lives.What do we do about them? Some of these situations we cannot just leave and walk away from. Other situations and people must be confronted and dealt with. And some of these situations have no happy or benevolent outcome. Sometimes we react with anger to these situations that are so unfair and so undeserved and sometimes we let them create depression and helplessness. It is true that there may be nothing we can do about them, as they continue despite our best efforts, but we can make ourselves immune to their actions.There is nothing that we can do about someone's bad behavior because we cannot change what others think, say, or do. But we can learn to be aware of their behavior, prepare ourselves for it, arm ourselves against these energy disruptors, and learn to be energetically powerful and sovereign in spite of them.This is where good intentions and our spiritual integrity meet the ugly side of 3D reality. If we are doing our work and doing the right things, shouldn't we be able to avoid these kinds of situations? No, there has never been a promise of easy, trouble-free living with our spiritual work. And often the opposite is the case. The more involved we are in our spiritual work, the higher our frequency and vibration, the more committed we are to following the ascension path, the more we have to deal with these energy disruptors.Blame it on the brightness of your light or the beauty of your energy frequency, we will have to deal with unpleasant people and situations that appear to have a singular purpose, to bring our energy down. It's everywhere and even the spiritual community is full of these people and sad to say, the greed, jealousy, and sabotage that exists amongst spiritual teachers and workers can be disappointing.Karen Bishop, who wrote the What's Up on Planet Earth blog for many years, she quit writing after being frustrated with people stealing her work. It has happened to me too but I don't quit, I go after these people and often prosecute them in court. I'll share some of my stories of energy disruptors later in this article as an example of how this happens and what you can do about it. It's a tough situation and it is very unfair to us but it happens and we need to deal with it.read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.Please note our policies regarding copyright infringement, content misuse, and theft of intellectual property.

Recent stats show only 20% of women say they are truly happy, so it's clear that we're in the middle of a huge unhappiness epidemic. For centuries, we have been conditioned to abandon ourselves, not pay attention to what we need and externalize our experiences. No wonder so many of us live in a constant state of angst. In order to make happiness happen, we need to shift to taking action on our own behalf and connecting with ourselves. Happiness is like a house, we can build it within ourselves and create a state that sustains our souls. What are the aspects that make the house stable, nurturing and beautiful? How do we create inner ease for ourselves? In this episode, we're joined by #1 New York Times bestselling author, world-renowned transformational teacher and expert on happiness, success, and unconditional love, Marci Shimoff. She talks about the root of our unhappiness, how to partner with yourself in growing and sustaining your happiness. Where there is light in the soul, there will be beauty in the person. Where there is beauty in the person there will be harmony in the home. Where there is harmony in the home there, will be honor in the nation. Where there is honor in the nation, there will be peace in the world. -Chinese proverb Four Things You'll Learn In This Episode -Self-esteem vs. self-love We've been taught that self-esteem is a great thing, but it's actually conditional. How do we shift to loving ourselves regardless of our circumstances? -How to hold both happiness and sadness Happiness doesn't mean you're not going to feel sad in sad moments. How can you possess both sadness and a backdrop of peace and wellbeing? -How to practice happiness What are simple but effective steps we can take to increase our happiness in the moment? -Happiness isn't selfish As women, we've been taught to think wanting to increase our happiness is a selfish act. Does our happiness actually serve the people around us more?

https://enlighteninglife.com/may-2024-energy-report/If you wonder why I always put the year in the monthly Energy Reports it's because I have over 10 years of energy reports on the website and two files cannot have the same name. So I had to choose between giving each one a different name (other than Energy Report) or adding the year to the name which is what I decided to do. I started writing these energy reports as our downloads and shifts started to become more frequent and more defined. They have always given insights as to the nature of the month's potential and the central energetic theme.My monthly energy reports are my most read, shared, and downloaded articles every month and I know many of you look forward to them. I know others write monthly energy reports, copying my format and messaging. While I do not like it when others steal my ideas and work, they serve their audiences according to their energy and if that means appropriating ideas, concepts, and information from others to do so, in the end their karma will catch up with them.You may not have noticed (but you probably did) that at 11:00PM Universal time on April 30, just before May began, we had an X-Class solar flare which I thought was a great way to usher in a new month and cut ties to the old one. We also had a rare and potent astro aspect that is our example of ascension because it involves the divine masculine and divine feminine. More on that in a minute.May is the 5th month of the year and in an 8 year (2024) that is a 13 or a 4. Now pay attention to 13 because it is a mystical number, not unlucky. 13 is one step beyond our 12 dimensions, it is the number of universal alchemy, and the number of full embodiment of faith and form, which we also call human and material.In numerology we add any double digits so 1 + 3 = 4 and that is the number of stability, aligned action, guided determination, and formation. April was a 3 month which fosters creativity and ideas, in which what we thought we knew was dis-integrated to make way for new thoughts and ideas. Now we can put those into play. I saw a lot of friendships and relationships dissolve in April and many were past their prime, held together by thin threads of hope and expectations but something pushed them over the edge and that was one of the byproducts of the April 8 eclipse.May opens with a fabulous expression of divine masculine and divine feminine energy with Mars moving from Pisces into Aries (its astro home) and Venus moving into Taurus (its astro home) from Aries. Both of these planets moved from their natural 12th to the first house. I will give you an overview here and if you are in the Core 4 Pillars of Karma program, I am adding it to the curriculum because it's a great way to learn more about your karma path.Your natural 12th is the house before your Sun placement, and I believe it refers to your karma, life lessons, and the healing and overall purpose of your lifetime. If you are an Aries Sun sign and your sun is in the 6th house then Pisces, the 5th house, is your natural 12th.read the rest of this article on Jennifer's blog at enlighteninglife.com Created, narrated, and produced by Jennifer Hoffman.Artwork by Jennifer Hoffman.Copyright (C) 2004-2024 by Jennifer Hoffman, all US and international rights reserved.Visit enlighteninglife.com for more information.email support@enlighteninglife.com with questions
https://enlighteninglife.com/karma-trauma-worms-light/ https://enlighteninglife.com/karma-trauma-worms-light/I got the title for this article and podcast from research on US legislation I had to do so I could write a course for the University of Phoenix, whose e-business program I wrote in the early 2000s. A few years after the Patriot Act was enacted they had asked me to research and report on data safeguarding requirements under the Patriot Act. One of the requirements was called the WORM process, where WORM stands for Write Once Read Many. This process required that data could be written once and never changed but it could be read unlimited times. Once you entered the data it was permanently inscribed and could not be altered. But you could look at that data as many times as you wanted to.What an appropriate concept for how we process and handle our karma and trauma. We write it into our energy field once at the time it happened, and then we read it over and over again, each time we are in a similar situation. If you want to create your high vibes, joyful life you need to understand your WORMs of karma and trauma and deal with them. Now is better than later and a lot better than never.How do you write karma and trauma into your energy field? Let me ask you a question – do you remember the last time you had an interaction with someone in your life who has always been a source of irritation, annoyance, frustration, and anxiety? Are you afraid of repeating this behavior with each interaction? Do you dread talking to them because you know that it's going to be another rehash of why you're a terrible, no-good, bad, inept, untalented, unattractive, and unsuccessful person?Do you remember the first time they made you feel that way? You wrote that experience once into your energy field and every time you think about, see, or talk to that person, that old data comes up, that situation gets repeated, and all of the energy around it rises to the surface and starts eating away at your joy, peace, and peace of mind, heart, and spirit.What came first, the energy or the experience? In this lifetime it's the energy , in past lifetimes it's the experience. Now it's your turn, think of someone in your life who is a challenge and what makes them challenging. Do you remember the first time it happened? Now go farther back in your memory.Was there ever a time when you felt comfortable around them or did you always feel that you had something to prove with them, that they were a threat to you, toxic, or even dangerous? Welcome to your karma.Now that you know what this is and how it works, let's look at your WORMs of karma and trauma. We will look at the past and at your hidden and not so hidden fears, anxieties, doubts, and challenges.Here we will use what I call the miracle cancelling words from my Miracle Mastery course and my book 30 Days to Everyday Miracles. These words cancel your miracles because they are critical, judgmental, negative, and blaming. Words like never, should, should have, did not, cannot, and others judge you for not doing something – not making the right choices, decisions or moves, taking action too late or too soon, missing opportunities, being afraid, not getting approval, and more.Does any of this resonate with you? How often have you heard those voices of blame, shame, guilt, condemnation, criticism, and judgment speak to you?Read the rest of the article on the Enlightening Life blog at this link.

Living from a place of wholeness allows the soul to lead the adventure and reveals the magic and adventure that awaits.

December starts with a huge energy wave because of 3 events that happened in the last week of November. The first was the November 27 full moon in Gemini, which I described as being ‘karma on steroids'. The second was a huge near X-class solar flare on November 28 which was a big surprise and brought in a huge influx of high vibe energy and light. And the third was November 29 when Henry Kissinger's death was announced. Someone told me when I was hosting the Enlightening Life LIVE broadcast and the first words out of my mouth were ‘hallelujah'. I have been waiting to hear of his demise for at least 10 years. That night, when I went to bed, my guides told me to get back up because I had energy work to do. Kissinger's death released an important and key pillar of 3D density on the planet and his removal meant that we could bring in a vast amount of light that had been blocked before. I will spend some time talking about him and his evil and monstrous impact on the world in this energy report because we must never allow this level of evil to become entrenched in our geopolitical world again. Hundreds of millions of people died because of Kissinger, whose gruesome focus on forever wars, political destabilization, and socio economic manipulation caused death and destruction around the world. Name any war, famine, depression, coup, or genocide in the last 70 years and his name is associated with it. He is also mentor to both Klaus Schwab of the WEF and George Soros. That should tell you something about the evil he embodied. But he's dead and we are rid of him and his energy. The bright side is that there is no one to take his place, as that level of 3D density has dis-integrated and decayed into oblivion. Now we need to bring in the light to fill that 3D density block and usher in a new era and paradigm of peace. December is both a pinnacle and a precipice. We are at a pinnacle of the ascension cycle, achieving great heights of awareness and spiritual integration. But we are also at a precipice where it could all fall into the abyss of despair and dissolution because of the immense pressure of the density we fight against and the fear of failure. We have achieved huge victories in this ascension cycle but we have also made great sacrifices. And in December we have a chance to review it all before we begin a great cycle in 2024.December 2023 is a 10 numerology vibe but it's a double 10 because as we have seen since October, the word December actually refers to 10 (deca means 10). Before the calendar was changed in 1751, March was the first month of the year and December was the 10th month. The names did not change when the months were displaced so we have a 10 value for December and this month 12 2023 is also a 10. 10 is 1 + 0, referring to the staff of action and the sphere of unlimited potential. 1 and 0 activate the morphogenic field (remember this from the IDEA – The Bridge from Intention to Manifestation program). 0 is not nothing, it is no thing, the deep stillness of absolute energetic potential which waits for our word to manifest into reality. The morphogenic field is the energetic field of pure potential, pure energy waiting to become form. This is a great place to be as we end a year and several big energy cycles. If you're feeling relief as December starts, I'm there with you. This has not been an easy year and in fact, it has been rough since 2019. That's when my health issues started and if you have been following me here or on social media, you know that I have suffered from extreme chronic pain for the past 4 years and have just started to see healing and get relief. It has not been pleasant. But this has been a tough year for so many of us, as we have braved health, financial, family, relationship, and other personal and professional issues. It has seemed like it would never stop, that we would never overcome the challenges and that we would never see the daylight of freedom, joy, peace, and love again after being in so much darkness. And here we are, the lights are on and it's time for a new paradigm. December's theme continues what we have been experiencing since August, as the rollout of energy continues to take us wider and higher into the ascension path. The farther we delve into the ascension energy the more we increase our vibration and connect with higher dimensions of energy. In August we had the inflection point, followed by September's Convergence, October's Catharsis, and November's Reclamation. Now in December we have Restoration as we prepare to move into 2024, a year I believe will be so much easier and less challenging and problematic than we have seen in quite some time. And Restoration is a great theme to have in December since we have lost touch with the basic aspects of ourselves after the mayhem and madness of the past few years. From one day to the next the world changed and yes some of those changes have forever altered our world view but they have made us less trusting, less naïve, and more discerning of who and what we share our energy with. The events of the past few years has also brought to light the need to be empowered, congruent, unbreakable, and very clear in our intention, alignment, and embodiment of energy.To restore means to return to existence, to bring back, to refresh, renew, refurbish, and re-vibe. What we will discover this month is that some things cannot be restored, they have completed their journey with us and are beyond their use-by date. Other things that we have forgotten, ignored, or left by the wayside will call to us because it is time to bring them back. Some of those things include our joy, power, energy, affection, trust, and commitment. If we have been committed to things that are not aligned with our own joy and potential, we won't be able to restore them especially if that means we have to lose part of ourselves in the process.

Richard explains how silencing those voices allows the Universe to bring the people and experiences you need exactly when you need them. In these times, when world events and provoking headlines can drain our energy and cloud the love that surrounds us, it's important to be careful not to indulge on social media, the news, or other people's opinions. Join us as we learn what it takes to live a balanced life, follow your heart's passion, and create new neural pathways that lead to a truly miraculous life. “There is incredible potential that lies within each and every one of us to create positive change in our lives and the lives of others while achieving our dreams” - Dr. Richard Shuster.

How do you stay grounded when faced with the overwhelming realities of what's going on in the world? In today's solo episode, we'll explore how to stay in the Miracle Zone amidst the world's challenges without spiritual bypassing. I'll show you how to remain connected to your heart and humanity. And I'll guide you through a breathing practice for connecting with your inner strength and anchoring your body, mind, and spirit in unconditional love and compassion. A lot is going on in the world. It can feel challenging to stay rooted in loving awareness in the face of so much desensitizing cruelty and negativity. Many people feel pulled between ignoring the world's challenges so they don't disrupt their vibration or staying glued to social media and the news. But the news floods you with fear, anger, confusion, and adrenaline. So what do you do? Well, there's another way to stay anchored in possibilities and inspiration without turning away from the challenges happening in the world, and that is the Miracle Zone way. The Miracle Zone way is remaining in and showing up in unconditional love despite the pervasive negativity in your environment. It's a powerful expression of light that our world desperately needs right now. Everyone across the planet is witnessing significant atrocities happening in the Middle East and feeling the collective grief for the innocent caught in the crossfire. And in the face of a monumental level of suffering and oppression, it's natural to ask the question: What do we do? How do we hold space for the hurting and stay sane while moving through the darkness? These are some of the questions we'll begin answering as we explore the tools I have for you today to help you keep your heart open while living through challenging times. Living fully in the Miracle Zone is all about knowing that to shine your light and show up in unconditional love with compassion, unattached to any specific outcome other than liberation, takes courage. In our courageousness, we can be blessed, and, in turn, be a blessing to others. Kindness still abounds and staying hopeful in humanity is the way forward. Join me today for heart-based guided meditation to anchor into a place of love and inner strength and step out of the loop of fear and adrenaline. “May the fragrance of the love that you've cultivated, even in this short meditation, spread across your life and ripple through your community and our world.” - Marci Shimoff What I talked about: Staying grounded and inspired amid global challenges (0:50) Stepping into your power to step out of the loop of fear and adrenaline (2:16) A guided meditation for anchoring into a place of love and inner strength (4:59) Opening up to the possibility of miracles through heart-focused breathing (8:23) An invitation to ground the love and wisdom of the meditation (12:10) Favorite quotes from the episode: “When we want to take action, we take action from a place of greater compassion and love when we are emanating love. And when we're sending out blessings, we are contributing to that energetic field. And it's really from the energy of love that miracles can happen.” - Marci Shimoff. “Only turn on the news when you are already very strong in yourself and you're in a state of great compassion because then you can deal with it in a way that is most helpful. And she said that when you come to find your place of inner strength and compassion, then you become a blessing.” - Jean Houston.

In today's solo episode, I share how my recent visit to Ram Dass's home inspired me to dive deeper into how we can heal our most wounded parts through love and understanding. Visiting Ram Dass's home in Maui was miraculous, happening about a month before the fires swept across parts of the island. If you've ever been to Maui, you know how very special it is. Before Ram Dass passed away, we had an opportunity to get together for an interview and talk about love. So, for today's episode, I'll share a short clip of the insightful wisdom from this most treasured conversation with you today. In addition, I'll share 3 steps you can use to heal your deepest, most wounded parts. And I'll tell you a story about one of my “wounded parts” around comparison. Every single one of us has wounded parts. These parts tell you you're not good enough, that no one understands what you've been through, or that you're not worthy of life's goodies. The wounded parts of you crave what the great spiritual teacher, psychologist, and writer Ram Dass described as your loving awareness. When you bring your loving awareness to those wounded parts, they shift–you then live from a more heart-centered reality which brings you into the Miracle Zone! Ram Dass had a saying, "The most important journey we ever take is the 18-inch journey from the head to the heart." Back in the late '90s, Ram Dass had a stroke. While it was a physically devasting event, he said the experience actually forced him to live from the heart. So today, in memory and honor of Ram Dass, I guide you through a process to take that 18-inch journey from the head to the heart. It's called the Alchemy of the Heart Process, and through it, we practice bringing our loving awareness to the wounded parts of ourselves. Ram Dass's favorite mantra was "I am loving awareness." This mantra reminds you that you are not the body. You are not the hurt or the pain. You are not the challenge or the circumstances. You are the loving awareness. Join me today as we connect with this loving awareness to heal the deepest wounds, find the miracle in your healing, and let it fill your heart, creating a truly miraculous life. “I think you have to move your identity from your ego, which is up here [the head], down to your soul, which is about the middle of your heart. And when you are in your soul, you will see everything as love and as lovable.” - Ram Dass What I talked about: The miracle of my recent visit to Ram Dass's home in Maui (1:35) Ram Dass's teaching on bringing loving awareness to the wounded parts of ourselves (3:55) My experience with comparison as a wounded part (6:39) Three steps you can use to help identify and heal wounded parts (7:57) My guided meditation to facilitate an Alchemy of the Heart Process (12:40) An invitation to ground the wisdom of the meditation (19:49) Favorite quotes from the episode: We know a wounded part because of the pain that it brings up in us. They're always based on some judgment or lie. “With all of our wounds, the best thing to do is to bless them, open to them, learn from them, love them, because they're like thorns that poke us because they're looking for our loving attention in order to be healed.” - Marci Shimoff Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/
In this episode, I had the wonderful pleasure of speaking with a dear friend and beloved spiritual teacher, Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi shows us how to open to miracles every moment and experience profound happiness and fulfillment in life. Based in Rishikesh, India, Sadhvi is a motivational speaker, social activist, and the author of the #1 best-selling memoir, Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation, which outlines her miraculous Transformation and Spiritual Awakening. Working with the United Nations and the Global Interfaith WASH Alliance, Sadhvi has received countless awards for her humanitarian work. Sadhvi's story is so fascinating. Her journey was entirely accidental–or, as she says, full of synchronicities that she wasn't looking for. In the midst of her Ph.D.studies at Stanford, she very reluctantly agreed to visit India with her husband. And yet, what unfolded was breathtaking, unexpected, and profound. It was a true experience of the Divine. Together with us, she examines the details that led to her awakening and how that awakening changed her perspective of what a ‘privileged' life really is. She shares how to experience the kind of happiness that endures and goes beyond an ordinary life. Sadhvi talks of continuous gratitude and acceptance of the movements and mysteries of the Universe. And she teaches us three practices we can all use to open up to miracles. I loved her perspective on what it means to live boldly in the Miracle Zone, and I think you will too! Join us, and enjoy! “The reason that we take birth is to awaken to our divinity, to wake up to our true selves, and to live that.” - Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati What we talked about: Sadhvi's journey of awakening (5:00) Sadhvi's first true encounter with the Divine (11:10) How to tap into grace and miracles(16:43) Why it's so important to enjoy the gift of life and cherish each day (24:08) The first two practices for living in the flow of miracles and grace (28:14) Instead of asking what's missing, ask what's right about this moment. (31:46) A third simple and profound practice she calls The Trust Fall (32:20) Favorite quotes from the episode: “The Universe is not a vending machine. It's not going to give you just what you think you want. It's going to give you that which is best for you.” “The reason that we take birth is to awaken to our divinity, to wake up to our true selves, and to live that.” “It wasn't that the miracle was becoming a monastic or that the miracles are because I'm a monastic, it was that I had thought my life was going to be something totally different. The miracle was that I had the clarity, the connection, and the courage to open my heart to what my dharma was.” “We are the miracles.” Connect with Sadhvi: Website Hollywood to the Himalayas: A Journey of Healing and Transformation Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/
In this episode, I really enjoyed sitting down with two of my favorite brothers, Isaac and Thorald Koren. Formally known as The Kin, The Brothers Koren are transformational voice leaders who have appeared live on Conan, earned a Gold Record, and performed for over a million people while touring with the likes of Coldplay, Pink, Bon Jovi, and Rod Stewart. After getting to experience living what they thought was their dream, they found themselves feeling unsatisfied and burdened. They felt the weight of the expectations they and the rest of the world placed on their voices. Then in a chance moment, completely unexpected, they tapped into the Miracle Zone and created their unique work that's impacting the world. Today, they help nurture and foster voices of people all over the world so that each person (singers and “non-singers” alike) can fully embody who they are. Their mission to help free and uplift ALL voices. I've had the privilege of being coached by the Brothers Koren myself, and they're truly masters at their craft. They've even presented at Your Year of Miracles Retreat, where they created with us the Living in the Miracle Zone theme song. You can hear it in the intro and outro of each podcast episode. Can you believe it only took them 15 minutes to create!? Join us as we dive into the miraculous nature of the voice! Find how you can authentically express yourself and break free from any blocks that may keep you from living your miraculous life. “Magic occurs when you let go of control. It's better to share an idea that's almost ready, rather than wait until it's perfect.“ - The Brothers Koren What we talked about: Isaac's and Thorald's shift to fully living in the Miracle Zone (4:16) How you can heal from feeling disempowered or unable to fully express yourself (8:06) What happens when you open up to the inner voice (12:52) Recognizing your false voice and freeing yourself into truthful expression (16:46) Isaac and Thorald invite you to experience your true voice in real-time (17:16) Letting go and getting into the flow of creative energy (23:13) How daring to suck is intimately entangled with daring to be great (27:34) The Embodied Voice Summit (29:34) Beautiful last words (31:31) Favorite quotes from the episode: "We've all been pressured by presentation, performance comparison, and competition. And that reverses the creative process that nature intended. Often, it creates a narrow keyhole where we're trying to be excellent through a small space. And so it creates an inhibited, fearful environment. When we flip it back around and set new ways of being, that kindergartener who is playful, messy, and part of the human experience gets to come back to the surface. "- Thorald Koren "We find that the voice is one of those amazing magnetic qualities of the human instrument that calls the world or what is there for you, towards you. Expressing your voice gets you in what you beautifully call the Miracle Zone." - Isaac Koren "If voice has been calling you and you have pushed it to the wayside, or if you were inhibited at a young age and bought into the belief that you didn't sing, or you didn't speak, or you didn't rise and lead others, it's time to let go and express yourself. Your creativity is in there, somewhere under your ribcage, and wants to come out. Just do it, make a mess, and see what occurs." - Thorald Koren Connect with The Brothers Koren: Website The Embodied Voice Summit Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/
In this episode, I sat down with my dear friend and former publicist Arielle Ford. Arielle is a famous book publicist who has launched some of the world's top self-help and spiritual authors. She's also a celebrated Love and Relationship Expert, Speaker, and Coach. And Arielle has written 11 books of her own, including the Hot Chocolate For The Mystical Soul series, The Soulmate Secret, and Wabi Sabi Love.

In this episode, find out why Arielle is called "The Cupid of Consciousness" and "The Fairy Godmother of Love." Over the years, Arielle has helped me recognize the beauty of my relationship with my husband and she's shown me how to make it more miraculous. Her mission these days is to help people Find, Keep, and Be Love. Arielle shares one of her biggest ah-ha moments--what people confuse with manifestation. And If you've experienced hurt or betrayal, Arielle's wisdom can help you heal your heart and soul. The best part? Arielle tells us what she does just before the most unbelievable miracles happen. Today, Arielle talks about how she lives in the Miracle Zone and taps into her spiritual toolkit daily, delving into the importance of loving your own imperfections and how to reframe the differences between you and your partner. You'll learn about the physical state of being in love, shifting your relationship to miraculous, and so much more!

And every time I've surrendered at the deepest level, that's when the biggest, most unbelievable miracles happen.” - Arielle Ford “The happier we are, the more easily we draw to us everything we want. Every moment of every day, we're sending out energetic signals that are felt by the people around us. And this explains why a desperate person draws to himself or herself more desperation, while a person who is already fulfilled becomes a magnet for greater fulfillment.” - Arielle Ford “No matter how long your soulmate wish list is, you're gonna get stuff you never asked for. That turns out to be the greatest gift that you didn't know you needed.” - Arielle Ford Connect with Arielle: Website The Love Thief Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/

Was it a coincidence? Or was it a sign? The Universe is constantly communicating with us as we navigate this journey called life. Whether we hear the perfect song at just the right time, get the answer to a question from a passing license plate, or have a random but meaningful encounter with a wise stranger, the Universe is always speaking to us through imagery and symbolism. There are no coincidences once we set the intention to live our lives in alignment with the flow of the Universe. When we wholeheartedly believe that the Universe is always speaking to us, all kinds of signs, symbols, and circumstances show up to offer us the information or guidance we most need most at the time. In today's episode, I bring you a meditation for connecting to your Higher wisdom and asking for the sign you need most. Whether you've got a question about an important business decision, a new relationship, a move you've been thinking about, or anything in your life–big or small–you can connect with clarity, direction, and answers through signs. As you become more and more receptive, you'll open to an abundance of confirmations and miraculous messages. I also share the magical experience that gave me the idea and led to me writing the Chicken Soup for the Woman's Soul books, which became #1 New York Times bestsellers. And I've included a story about an amazing message from my father shortly after his passing. There are no coincidences, only synchronicities. And the Miracle Zone is always rich with the most awe-inspiring instances of synchronicity. You know you're living in the Miracle Zone when you continually notice and open to receiving signs from the Universe. Join me as I discuss the purpose of signs and how to look for them. The Universe is guiding our way, if we pay attention. “When we pay attention to and follow the signs that show up for us, we move into the miracle zone and become more aligned with what our soul came here to do.” - Marci Shimoff What I talked about: The purpose of signs (1:21) Asking a question and waiting to receive (2:17) The ultimate confirmation and magical experience that inspired this episode (4:45) When to ask for a sign (7:43) A Guided Meditation to connect with your Higher Self (8:30) Grounding the wisdom of the meditation (15:31) Favorite quotes from the episode: “The Universe is always speaking to us. It speaks in imagery; it speaks through symbology. And when we open up to receive signs, they'll help us get on our most aligned path.” - Marci Shimoff “Be on the lookout for signs in all forms. A sign could come in the form of a song on the radio, a number on the clock, a bluebird flying past you, or a license plate that's right in front of you. Pay attention.” - Marci Shimoff Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/

I got the title for this article and podcast from a research on US legislation I had to do so I could write a course for the University of Phoenix, whose e-business program I wrote in the early 2000s. A few years after the Patriot Act was enacted they had asked me to research and report on data safeguarding requirements under the Act. One of the requirements was called the WORM process, where WORM stands for Write Once Read Many. This process required that data could be written once and never changed but it could be read unlimited times. Once you entered the data it was permanently inscribed and could not be altered. But you could look at that data as many times as you wanted to.What an appropriate concept for how we process and handle our karma and trauma. We write it into our energy field once at the time it happened, and then we read it over and over again, each time we are in a similar situation. If you want to create your high vibes, joyful life you need to understand your WORMs of karma and trauma and deal with them. Now is better than later and a lot better than never.How do you write karma and trauma into your energy field? Let me ask you a question – do you remember the last time you had an interaction with someone in your life who has always been a source of irritation, annoyance, frustration, and anxiety? Are you afraid of re//eating this behavior with each interaction? Do you dread talking to them because you know that it's going to be another rehash of why you're a terrible, no-good, bad, inept, untalented, unattractive, and unsuccessful person? Do you remember the first time they made you feel that way? You wrote that experience once into your energy field and every time you think about, see, or talk to that person, that old data comes up, that situation gets repeated, and all of the energy around it rises to the surface and starts eating away at your joy, peace, and peace of mind, heart, and spirit. What came first, the energy or the experience? In this lifetime it's the energy , in past lifetimes it's the experience. Now it's your turn, think of someone in your life who is a challenge and what makes them challenging. Do you remember the first time it happened? Now go farther back in your memory. Was there ever a time when you felt comfortable around them or did you always feel that you had something to prove with them, that they were a threat to you, toxic, or even dangerous? Welcome to your karma.You can read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com at this link.
In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with the wonderful and wise Dr. Margaret Paul, the best-selling author of Do I Have To Give Me Up To Be Loved By You?, Inner Bonding, Diet for Diving Connection and many other life-changing books. With a Ph.D. in psychology and more than 50 years experience as a therapist (including my own), she's a relationship expert and co-creator of Inner Bonding, a self-healing process that moves people from self-abandonment to self-love. Margaret has used the pain of her tumultuous upbringing and challenging life path to heal herself, physically and emotionally, and help other people access their inner spiritual guidance for healing. She shows us how on the other side of any trauma, conditioning, or fear-based mindset, we can connect with ourselves and learn to live based on our Higher guidance. She empowers us to realize the magic inside of ourselves and how that helps us to live more in the Miracle Zone. Margaret shares how, through inner bonding, she was able to establish on-demand access to her Higher Self, and have remarkable health miracles along with other breakthroughs in her life. When you hear the six steps of Margaret's Inner Bonding process, you'll have a new understanding of where your emotional pain is coming from, and a powerful process for healing old wounds and developing lasting self-love. With Margaret's guidance, you can experience true self-care (this is MORE than getting your nails done or taking a hot bath) and open yourself to creating the life of your dreams. Learn how to recognize self-abandonment, never give others authority over you again, and truly, deeply love yourself. “Loving yourself really means that you learn to define the beauty of your own essence, your own soul–and that you don't give that role to other people.” - Margaret Paul What we talked about: Introducing Dr. Margaret Paul (2:30) Margaret's journey prior to discovering the Miracle Zone (4:08) Why self-love is essential for living in alignment with the Universe (10:28) Margaret begins breaking down the six steps to Inner Bonding (13:07) The vital information contained within our feelings (15:19) Listening to the direction of your Inner Guidance (22:19) The effects of utilizing these techniques (23:17) Where to get started with Inner Bonding (25:49) Margaret's vision for healing the wounded self (27;25) Favorite quotes from the episode: “If you stop trying to have control over getting love and getting approval and doing everything, right, there's so much freedom that comes. When you see, value and love who you are in your own essence, and you stop giving authority to anybody, your Higher guidance becomes your authority, you become your own guru.” - Dr. Margaret Paul “I used to feel so alone as an only child,. But when you can connect to yourself and your higher guidance, you're never alone. “ - Dr. Margaret Paul “Most people don't realize that anger is usually a projection onto others of ways that we abandon ourselves.” - Dr. Margaret Paul “When you're open to learning with your Higher guidance, you start to receive information. It may be in words, it may be in pictures, it may be in feelings, but spirit finds a way to communicate with us when we're open to learning” - Dr. Margaret Paul Connect with Dr. Margaret: Inner Bonding Website Margaret's Blog Instagram Twitter Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/
In this episode, we sit down with my good friend and revolutionary thinker, Dr. Dawson Church. Dawson is an award-winning science writer and the best-selling author of Genie In Your Genes, Mind to Matter, and Bliss Brain. He founded the National Institute for Integrative Healthcare, which conducts clinical trials and studies evidence-based psychological and medical techniques for relieving human suffering and unlocking human potential. The Veteran's Stress Project is the Institute's latest program, where they offered free treatment to 20,000 veterans with PTSD. During our time together, Dawson tells a shocking story about waking up in the middle of the night to a raging fire. Escaping this traumatic event left him with PTSD, the same condition he had been helping others transcend. He applied the tools and techniques of his research himself and detailed their impact on the mind, body, and soul. His experience tells us how crucial it is that anyone dealing with high-stress levels has techniques and support to move through it. Dawson walks us through a quick but potent process to shift from stress and frustration to a place of peace and calm. He shows us how to use this alongside stressful moments to rewire your brain and change your stress response to past events. And he throws in a few more groundbreaking tips for us to believe in ourselves and live in the Miracle Zone! “In your sense of connection with transcendent space, with the All That Is, you're infinitely wealthy and abundant, and you have infinite resources of well-being, even when everything around you appears to have gone to hell in a handbasket.” What we talked about: Dawson discusses his life prior to living in the Miracle Zone (4:35) Navigating life after experiencing an awakening (7:26) The shocking event that forever changed Dawson's life (11:21) The phenomenon of Post-Traumatic Growth (15:05) What we can do to be more resilient (20:37) Dawson's favorite method for relieving tension and finding peace in any situation (22:20) What Dawson's research tells us about living life in the Miracle Zone (27:22) Favorite quotes from the episode: “We're all having what the Sufis called glimpses of heaven. And then we don't know what to do with them or where to put them, and we don't share them very often. And yet, they are so transformative. “ - Dawson Church “The flow of miracles is continuous; all that grace, all that love, all that wisdom, all that compassion in the universe is surrounding us.” - Dawson Church “Believe in yourself, love yourself, gift yourself with being in the Miracle Zone every day because it's up to you. It's available for you. It's there for you. The only question is…Will you step into it?” - Dawson Church Connect with Dawson: EFTuniverse.com Dawsongift.com Dawsonchurch.com Connect with Us: Website Instagram Find Your Miracle Superpower https://www.facebook.com/groups/livinginthemiraclezone/
Once again I can say that I am glad a month is over. June started out OK but then as the transformation momentum built up it was like riding downhill in a car with no brakes. I'm thinking of the road to Jerome, Arizona here, on Mingus Mountain. The mountain is so steep that the road is a series of switchbacks and you have to drive back and forth in order to get to the top. Wasn't June's energy like that? Back and forth from past to present, reviewing past choices to make new decisions for now. Or having the past appear in front of us so we can assess its relevance and choose to move on (or not). In July we have support for taking action, but in the right direction. If we're trying to move back towards the past in July we will get a strong reminder that forward is the only way to go..This month we get to color with all of the crayons, not just the few safe crayons that we have used to color our lives in old, familiar safe, if uncomfortable ways. Give a voice to the secret song you have in your heart because now is the time to sing it.The July energy Toolkit is your resource to powerfully use and embody the energy of July. It provides you with the energy, purpose and soul of the month so you can align with and integrate the energy aspects that we're gifted with. Each month includes a detailed review of the Energy Report, an energy affirmation and meditation, two calls with Jennifer as well as a Saturday Spirit & Soul community call at the end of the month to bring the community together and remind you that you do not walk this path alone, even if it feels like it. To get your Energy, Purpose & Soul Toolkit for July visit enlighteninglife.com/eps and sign up now. July is the 7th month of the year in a 7 year so we have the double 7 energy and numerologically this is a 5 month – 7 + 7 = 14, 4 + 1 = 5. This is a month for intense spiritual alignment, expansion, and integration. If we look at every lesson and challenge as an opportunity for energetic re-calibration and use it as a resource for our spiritual path we will be well on our path to joy. 77 means spiritual awakening, empowerment, and awareness. It is a call to engage your intuition, to embrace your gifts and talents, to lead with your creativity, and to proceed with bold confidence. Now is not the time to hide our lights! So shine big and shine on!Another way of looking at July's strong 7 energy is the tarot's major arcana. 7 is the card of the Chariot, the only vehicle represented in the tarot. The chariot represents movement, willpower, control, determination, and action. This is someone in control of their destiny, who is acting with intention and confidence. The chariot driver is standing, not sitting, holding the reins and guiding the chariot where he wants to go. The chariot is pulled by sphinxes, not horses. To the ancient Egyptians the sphinx represented wisdom, strength, and spiritual protection. In the Chariot card there are two sphinxes, one black and one white, representing the polarity of the spiritual and material worlds. Even though they are pulling in opposite directions the chariot is driving down the middle of the road, between past and present The driver is maintaining a firm hold on the reins and driving the chariot in the direction of his will, in spite of the opposing pull of the two sphinxes. Moving effortlessly between past and present, the spiritual and material worlds, determined direction and aligned action, freedom to choose our path. This is our mantra for July. read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com
Have you ever loved someone so much that you were determined to make the relationship work out, no matter what it took?Have you ever been in a relationship where you thought everything in your life depended on it? Have you ever felt that you would die if someone wasn't in your life (maybe not physically die but you just cannot imagine living your life without them)?Be honest, we have all had that relationship in one way or another, the one that took so much time, energy, and effort and every bit of dedication and determination we had and yet, it ended, sometimes badly. And we remember it forever.Do you still think about the one that did not work out, the big heartbreak, the one you could not help, change, or convince that you loved them?I call this big heart relationships and we have all had a ‘big heart' towards someone. Our big heart allows us to put endless effort into the relationship no matter what it costs us emotionally, mentally, physically, or spiritually.Our big heart allows us to never give up even when we do not seem to be getting any rewards for our efforts. Our big heart allows us to be determined in how and who we love and we are 100% committed to showing our love and support to everyone we have a big heart for.But our big heart hides our deepest darkest secrets about love and relationships:That we are not worthy of being lovedThat no one has or will ever love usThat we will only be hurt by loveThat we must give love without getting love in returnThat we will one day realize our deepest fear that we really are unlovable, unloved, and not worthy of love.Determined love compels us to love someone, to show them how much we love them so they will love us in return, no matter what they do to us or how they treat us. This includes family, children, and those closest to us. Do you have family members who do not ‘love, honor, and respect' you, who really treat you badly, who are disrespectful, manipulative, toxic, dishonest, and abusive and you still give them your time and energy and you do your best to show them how much you love them? Determined love is connected to our Big Heart energy because it is the fear of being unloved and unlovable that makes us continue to seek love from those who have already shown that they do not love us, or who cannot or won't love us in a way that meets our description of love. This is a key point here. We have our own definition of love, of what we believe is loving behavior, and that meets our criteria for feeling loved. Anyone who doesn't meet these criteria is not a loving person, as far as our love definition is concerned. I call this your ‘love language, a term I coined in 2012 when I introduced my first ‘Raise Your Love Vibes' program.read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com

Have you ever had an experience where you had to act quickly, boldly, and decisively and you did, even though it may have involved something dangerous and scary? But in that moment you did not consider the scary and dangerous aspects, you knew that you had to act and to do something in that moment, and you did. We call these acts of heroism and of courage and we celebrate the people who put their personal interest and safety aside and act on behalf of someone or something that has a greater immediate need. If you look on Instagram or facebook you can find many videos showing these acts of heroism. Some of the most watched and liked are those of people rushing to help a motorist stuck in a car, or rescuing an animal trapped in mud or water, workings digging an elephant out of a ditch, or compilations of fathers saving their children from harm. We celebrate these acts of courage and the people who commit them. We admire their grit, their selflessness, their bravery, quick thinking, and resourcefulness. Sometimes we wish we could be like them as we examine the parts of our lives that could use an act of courage and wonder when we'll have the determination, heart, grit, and courage to act. We do and that moment can be now, so let me share some courage inspiring tips with you. Acts of courage require an emergency, a fearful outcome, a dire situation, and a challenge. We look for those in the physical world around us and often neglect our own world in the process. What does it take for us to leap into action, to boldly decide to act, to become completely selfless and focus on an objective while ignoring the consequences?It's easy for us to act on behalf of others but less so when it comes to our own lives and our own life situation, no matter how dire it may be. We wait to become courageous, for our courage to build to the point where we can act, to overcome our fear, and to find a reason to make a change. We think that courage is something we do but it is something we become. Courage is an energy and the energy of courage is within us all of the time, we just need a reason to activate it.

The recent April 21 eclipse was indeed a powerful one. A rare hybrid eclipse that began as an annular eclipse and morphed into a total eclipse that could be seen in in Australia and parts of the south pacific region. It is another astronomical phenomenon but we know it's much more than that because it is part of a vast energy movement that has been showering us with energy shifts and downloads for the past 4 years. With a solar eclipse, which means that the dark obscures the light, the sun being covered by the moon, but don't stop there. To eclipse something is to surpass it, to be the best in comparison to others. This eclipse is our opportunity to eclipse our karmic path and focus our light on what is most important to us. If we are not sure what that is, having to choose between the dark and the light will push us in the right direction. Just remember that while an eclipse is momentary, the effect is long lasting. I believe that we are coming out from under centuries of darkness and only now are we able to see the light and to have the awareness and spiritual maturity to choose between the dark and the light and that is happening because we are now aware of the darkness. It was never visible to us before because it was fully integrated into 3D, as we were. But as we awaken from our collective slumber, like sleeping beauty and her 100 year sleep, it is not the magical kiss of a prince that awakens us, it is the moment that the darkness is eclipsed by the light. In a total solar eclipse that is the moment after the moon has covered, or eclipsed, the sun, there is a brilliant flash of light as the sun's light begins to show again. In our lives it is when the light becomes so bright and so strong that we must abandon our darkness and let the light in. What does it mean to be eclipsed? If you are eclipsed by someone or something it means that it overshadows you and you pale in comparison. More simply – it is better, brighter, and bigger than you are. Now think about what happens when you eclipse something – say you eclipse a challenge or a problem or you finally overcome an issue you never thought you would be able to move on from. Congratulations, you have eclipsed the darkness in your life and let in the light. But before we get too pleased with the process and you think that I am being overly simplistic about a situation, let's take a look at what you are trying to shine the light on because like most things, it is just not quite that simple.

I don't exactly remember when I realized that I was different from most of the people in my family. Maybe it was because I was the one who was paralyzed for 5 years, or maybe it was because my brother and sister, who were 11 months apart in age, looked like twins and I looked much different. Maybe it was because I would get very angry at being lied to, unfairly blamed, or the game playing and manipulation that I experienced with my parents. I always felt like I was born into the wrong family and they were not my people. Maybe it was the feeling that other people seemed to get it in life and I just couldn't. When I read about Indigo and Crystal energies in the late 1990s, it all began to make sense and I knew that this was my answer. Now it didn't solve anything at the time, it just gave me an understanding and the knowledge that I was ‘different' so I needed to do things differently. I could not conform to the status quo, so I needed to be content with creating my own paradigm for my life.I first remember reading about Indigo and Crystal energies in the late 1990s, but the term Indigo energy was first identified in the mid-1970s by Nancy Tappe, a psychic who could see auras and noticed that children born in the 1960s and 1970s had the color indigo in their auras, which she had never seen before. Now I know that the Indigo generations started arriving around the 1950s and they have been around for centuries, but it wasn't until the 1950s that we started seeing greater numbers of them, maybe because there was a greater acceptance of all things spiritual and intuitive at the time. But after this brief reveal in the 1990s the interest in these energies disappeared and Indigo and Crystals, not liking the spotlight, were rather relieved. Their work continued, in the background for the most part, and now they are coming forward again as the need for the Indigo action and truth and the Crystal empathy and light are needed more than ever.As we go barreling forward with this ascension cycle, and we are really on a roll now, the Indigo and Crystal energies are making a comeback and it is time to bring them back into the open so they can help with the work of dis-integrating the 3D paradigm and ushering in the 5D alignments because Indigo and Crystal energy is at the 5D frequency, that's why they have such a hard time in life. Surprised to hear that? Well, let's learn some more about these wonderful energies. Read the full article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com
March supposedly comes ‘in like a lion and out like a lamb' but this March came in like lion and out like a tornado. The energy movements in the last few days of March, along with some X- and M-class solar flares, shook things up and re-distributed some of the darker, denser energies, creating a lot of dis-integration and chaos. Both are aspects of the descension phase of the ascension cycle and chaos is a by product of dis-integration. We will see more of this in April as we enter a month whose theme is Rebirth into Freedom and we choose between energetic sovereignty and the continuation of karma timelines.April is an 11 month, the number of the initiate, and it will be our only 11 month in 2023. This brings heightened spiritual awareness and knowledge, usually in the form of lessons and challenges, and new potentials for healing, learning, growth, and transformation. An 11 month is both a call to acknowledge our journey and a call to action, to prepare for new potentials. These can be very challenging months and months where we quickly and easily manifest the changes we need to allow new potentials to occur. They can also be months where we learn to turn challenges into blessings and to learn how to let go of what no longer serves us, resonates with us, is relative to our new path, and restricts our ascension process.The darkness and density are giving way to the light – not without a fight, but they are retreating significantly. Don't be fooled by what may appear to be the dark winning out – it is not. It's safe to say that when we notice the darkness it's because it has been displaced by light and it has to be out in the open as it can no longer hide, it has no place left to hide. The only people holding the dark energies are those who have chosen unintegrated, un-ascended 3D. When 3D was more dense and there was no 5D energy to start dis-integrating the density we did not notice that the density was there. We could not, it was completely integrated within 3D. But that is no longer the case and it is because of our 3D/5D ascension integration process that we are now able to see the density in all of its forms and they are out in force right now. Remember the energy gaps between the dark and the light, between pure, ‘unenlightened' density and the 5D energies and light are why we are noticing so much darkness, perversion, and sheer lunacy right now. We are in the down cycle or descension aspect of this ascension journey which is a difficult place to be because this is where we do all of the inner work, the tough work that has to be done to prepare for the next ascending cycle where we rise and expand our energy. But descension leads to transcension and the 4D bridge, which leads to ascension and that is how we achieve new levels of ascension integration. Cycles are part of the process and we go through them all the time. Are you starting to be able to recognize your ascension cycles now?The descension process of the ascension cycle reminds me of the tv show ‘extreme home makeover' where a family is chosen for a complete home remodel. The family goes away for a week and they return to a fully remodeled, often brand new home. What we don't see in that process is the thousands of people who work 24x7 to tear down and rebuild and then fully re-decorate that home. We just see the beautiful, finished product and while they do show small glimpses of the tear down work being done, it is just enough to add a dose of theatrics – the biggest part of the dirty work is done behind the scenes. Sound familiar? So if you are struggling with the energies from March and into April, remember that the finished product is in the process of being remodeled and that what no one sees is the ‘home work', the inner work that must done to expand our outer glow and shine our light brightly. And a side note here – as soon as we finish with one remodel we spend a few minutes enjoying our work and then we start another remodeling process. Ascension is a continuously evolving and rising spiral of energetic expansion. Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com
Everyone seems to be getting lessons in dealing with people who seem to not only disregard their needs but who do the exact opposite. What do you do with someone who appears to deliberately oppose your wishes, stand in your way and block your efforts?Their behavior is not OK and they force you into a corner. Do you come out fighting or walk away? And how do you decide what is not OK and what to do after that? Any time we are faced with a situation where someone is not giving us what we want the answer to all of our questions lies within us. That person has so much wonderful, enlightening information for us that we can understand once we move away from the ‘this is not OK' position.Sure, their behavior may be wrong but why did we choose that experience with them and what do we have to learn from it? I have found, in many years of giving spiritual counseling, that our lessons in power are always presented in ways that make us feel powerless. What we do in that moment determines whether our next step is reconnecting to our power or holding our ground and demanding that the other person do what we want them to do.While we would like to have a more moderate outcome, where we get out needs met and the other person sees the value in that, it isn't always possible. And the longer we stay in that situation the more challenging it is for us. Our showdown then becomes a standoff, then we are standing still, further entrenched in our demands and blind to any other outcome. While we may think that the other person is just being stubborn, they are giving us valuable information and the first question we can ask is why we are making that particular demand of them.And there is part of our answer because we generally choose the person who will not or cannot give us what we want (remember the lessons in power).

I have to admit that when Saturn entered Pisces yesterday I was a bit concerned. This is not a great placement for me and in the past, Saturn in Pisces has always been a source of enormous loss, suffering, and pain. But after a day of reviewing the past and wondering where I could go and hide away for the next 3 years, I woke up this morning with a plan for this tough transit and an understanding of what it could become and I am more relieved than afraid. Karma has its downside but it has its blessings too and it arrives with gifts that we can learn from and appreciate into greater joy, understanding and freedom if we are ready.There are gifts that karma brings us and we often don't realize it until long after we have struggled with a Saturn transit and the karmic lessons it brings with us. We see these lessons with Mercury transits to a lesser degree, but nothing can bring us down to our knees like a strong Saturn foray into our karmic past, soul groups, and karmic cycles. Saturn in Pisces seems to be particularly strong in that regard for everyone, not just those that have planets or houses that are particularly impacted by it. Saturn's transit through Pisces, during our lifetimes, depending on when you were born, happened in 1900, 1933, 1964, 1993, and now 2023. These are approximate dates, the exact dates are more numerous since Saturn enters Pisces, then retrogrades back into Aquarius, then it moves forward again. Let's look at some of those dates in history, 1900 was the turn of the century and the beginning of the medical tyranny that has ruled the world for over a century. You have to look at the activities of the most evil man in the world, JD Rockefeller, to understand how this began then. 1933 was the beginning of the activities that would lead to WW2. 1964 followed the assassination of John F Kennedy and the real takeover by the forces that would attempt to rule the world. That was the year I learned I would possibly be a paraplegic for life, according to my doctors, and the beginning of a 2 year hospital stay and a 5 year attempt to regain mobility. I succeeded but it wasn't easy.Read the rest of this article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com
When you think of February you think of Valentine's day and that is the main focus of the month. It's typically the month in which our thoughts are on love, romance, and relationships whether we are celebrating what we have, regretting the ‘one that got away', trying to forget the one that broke our heart, or hoping that our turn at love comes soon. But February is so much more than that and this month has some beautiful and powerful energy that is going to highlight this year's Reckoning theme and present a clear ascension transition path. Have you ever felt like the calendar was wrong to start with January, often the coldest, darkest month of the year? If we celebrate the birth of the new year in nature with spring, why do we celebrate our new calendar year in the cold of winter? Until 1752 the calendar year did begin with the month of March and then it was changed to the Julian calendar which began in January. With the ‘old style' calendar, February would have been the 12th month of the year and the final month before a new year begi,n in spring with the March Equinox. That's why February is named after , Februus, Roman god of atonement and purification.Now this is a new focus for the month where we typically think of romance to consider a less ‘romantic' theme to the month and make the best use of its energy. It's fully aligned with the 2023 theme of Reckoning and the Path that we are embarking on this year. Since 2023 is a 7 year and that number represents contemplation and inner growth, as a 2 month February's numerology is a 9, the number of completion. How appropriate and supportive for us to prepare for new growth and new beginnings in spring, which is next month's theme. Rather than focusing on love and romance this month, which can be a challenge if you do not have a love to celebrate, we're going to look at alchemical purification, at-onement, recalibration, and ascension energy movement. This doesn't mean that love is out of the picture, but it does mean that we cannot continue to chase after love and continue our love patterns which include choosing healing over wholeness, perspiring instead of inspiring, and seeking our own redemption by redeeming others. It sounds harsh but if we are to fulfill our own desire for love then we need strong energy boundaries, more self esteem, and a willingness to engage in partnerships that are energetically aligned and not emotionally unbalanced.read the rest of this article on the Enlightening Life Blog at this link.
I usually get these energy reports out at the first of the month but this month, as it also coincides with the beginning of the year, I decided to do something different. I published a guide to making the best use of 2023 energy for the first newsletter, as well as the 2023 annual predictions and the new GPS 2023 Program, your energy toolkit for 2023 success. And I'm glad that I waited because what has happened in the past 10 days sets the tone for this month and its multiple energy movements.First we had the new year and entry into 2023, a 7 year in numerology and a year with a lot of spiritual power. Now just because the power is there doesn't mean that we are going to use it but we do our best and we have spent the past 3 years living through the example of what happens when we do not own, acknowledge, integrate, align with, and claim our power. What we saw in the past 3 years was the full display of the 3D paradigm whose energies are grounded in control, domination, power over, coercion, limitation, restriction, disconnection, and tyranny. Can you think of any examples of that which occurred during the past 3 years, from 2020 to 2022? Me too.January is an energy portal for the rest of the year and sets the stage for the big events that include March's energy shifts and the Alpha Omega portal we'll have in March and April. An Alpha Omega portal occurs when we have two new moons in the same sign, the first one at zero or 1 degree and the second one at 29 degrees. This will happen with the March and April new moons, in the same month that Saturn and Pluto change signs. That is significant.The energy theme for January is ‘Shine and Rise' and no that isn't backwards. We have to shine before we can rise, our understanding of our soul mission and life purpose require clarity and acceptance before we can expand into new energy potentials. While we want a quick release from trauma and pain, their bigger story that is part of our path of spiritual initiation can be the path to release and energetic freedom that we crave.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com.
It's a new year and we are all excited about that but we are entering it from the drama, tyranny, and chaos from the past 3 years, and even thinking about joy, success, and expanding our energy can seem like an exercise in futility. And if you have been trying to make changes lately only to be stopped at every turn, the idea that 2023 could be different without a whole lot of extra and extraordinary effort is just depressing. Well, there are some depressing things about what is going on in the world but there is also a whole lot more to be joyful about. We play our part by maintaining our energy field at the frequency and vibration that we want it to be to create the reality we are intending. We also play our part by shifting our perception of the illusion from good and/or bad to light and light potential. So much of the world has already ‘seen the light' and the rest exists in the realm of light potential. Yes there is a small group that is always going to occupy the dark edges but we can let them be, they are not part of our mission.As you are contemplating your potential for 2023 and maybe making a list of intentions for the year of what you want to be or become, things you want to accomplish, what you want to do and places you want to go, let's bring it down to a more personal, influential level for the light stage we are on now. When I say all we have to do is shine our light I mean it. We are in the 5D integrated space now and if you notice, the people who are not aligned with 5d at any level are no longer in your sphere. What you are seeing and dealing with are the people who are like spirited, your energetic family, and those who are curious about you and your energy. They may be magnetized to you but there is not quite a fit. Sometimes we meet people who just need to know where to step onto the 4D bridge. Your job is not to guide or carry them across, just to show them where the bridge is and how to access it. And this is one of the keys to success in 2023, to know when to stop sharing our energy and let everyone walk their own path. This is probably going to be the hardest part of 2023, shifting how we interact with people and we will start that process by shifting who we are consciously and unconsciously interacting with. Did you lose connections with friends and family in the past 3 years? Has a philosophical difference created a huge rift in your relationships? Or have you realized that there are people who just do not need to be in your life any more, whether it's because they have walked out or you have shown them the door?That's the basis of creating your energetic family, allowing energy to become the focus of your path instead of emotions. All of our connections are based on how we feel and that is shifting to a more intentional process. We set our energetic intention and that either opens or closes the doors to connection.I was thinking about how to greet this new year and start a new year of newsletter articles and podcasts. Do you know this is my 20th year of writing the newsletter? Hard to believe that I would still be doing it when I started in February of 2004 with my little newsletter that went to three people – me and two friends I had asked to sign up so I could make sure the subscription box and the email broadcast worked properly. Now the newsletter is read by over 5 million people every week, as the most widely read, shared, and the oldest newsletter on the internet. As we start a new year, one that has a lot of potential and is going to be a source of joy to many, I wanted to share my hints for making this year truly great for you. Here are 5 ways to make 2023 a fabulous year.Read the rest of the article on the blog at enlighteninglife.com

Have you ever said that you would love to turn back time, go back to the past and undo some choices you have made, and most importantly, give your past self some advice that would help him or her in their life. What if you could avoid the trauma, tears, grief, disappointments, and shame. What if you could be more confident, clear, self aware, and have more self esteem? What if you could give your past self 5 pieces of advice that would help him or her and erase some of the trauma you have experience in your lifetime?In the 20 years that I have been writing this blog I have never done this kind of article but I believe that it is time. I am not doing it from a place of regret, but from a place of acknowledgement of how far I have come and to have closure with the past. Because as I realize the lessons, blessings, and truth of the past I also complete the timeline and give myself closure so I no longer have to regret the past or anything that happened or did not happen. So let's go and as you read these 5 things that I would like to tell my past self, think about what you would tell your past self today.1. Criticism and judgment are simply someone else's opinion of you and can mirror their jealousy over who you are, your light, your gifts and talents, and your being.I wish I had know this so many years ago, starting during my childhood, when I believed that it was my fault that someone took issue with what I did or said. had I considered that it was possible to ignore them, I would have not responded by dimming my light, trying to please them, or believing that I was in the wrong every time. I would have been more protective of myself rather than dismissing myself because it appeared that someone took issue with me. Now criticism and jealousy were part of my family dynamic so taking a stand against it was not always possible when I was younger. I get that. But it was a possibility when I was older and I let myself be swayed, manipulated, and muted by it far too much and for far too long. And the jealousy came from people I wanted to love and accept me so instead of shielding myself from them and their energy, I tried to compensate for their jealousy by being less of myself. As you know, that doesn't work. The result was that I turned away from my highest potential and opportunities that my well honed ‘jealousy radar' knew would create another level of criticism and judgment. Until one day I decided that I was no longer going to do that. I was going to let my light shine no matter what anyone thought or said about it. And that is exactly what I would tell my past self – shine your light as brightly as possible, no matter what. 2. People will talk about you so give them something positive to talk about because there is nothing wrong with you. This one is especially poignant for me because I was often the topic of looks and whispers as a child as I was physically handicapped by the vaccine induced paralysis that would change my life forever. The morning of November 22, 1963 I went to school a happy child who loved to learn and who wanted to become a ballerina. By that evening I was paralyzed from the neck down and the last thing I remember for the next week was lying on the back seat of my parents' car looking at the stars in the sky. When I awoke from a coma a week later I saw my parents and the doctor talking and heard the doctor say that I would never walk again. I was determined to prove him wrong and I did. But it did not happen for another 5 years. I was in the hospital for 2 years. No more school, no more ballet dreams, and no more walking or motion of any kind. It is truly a miracle that I can walk and move today although I have not fully recovered and never will.After I was released from the hospital I had to be in a wheelchair because I still could not walk, I had no movement from the waist down. Eventually I could walk with braces that went from my hip to my ankle and were fastened to brown orthopedic shoes (no cute velvet mary jane shoes for me) and crutches. I was stared at a lot. It was unusual to see a handicapped child so people stared and whispered. I could hear them asking each other ‘what was wrong with me'. I grew to hate being looked at and that expanded to being the center of attention. When I was in my corporate career I hated being the center of attention or in a situation where everyone was looking at me and yet I was often the lead in technical projects, in organizations, and in high level positions. I managed to perform because I had a strong work ethic, I loved my work, and I wanted to do well but it was hard. I was always in doubt about what people really thought about me and whether I was Ok or was there something wrong with me.I would remind my past self that the brightest lights get noticed and that doesn't mean there is something wrong. 3. Your dreams and visions are worthy of being your priority and should not be sacrificed for the benefit of others.Read the rest of the article on the Enlighteninglife.com blog at this link.
