Perceptual Shift Hypothesis

Ever wonder how your perception affects the way you are in the world? Ever wonder how a positive shift in your perception can be expressed more consciously? There is a movement from perception to expression: Who you are “authentically” doesn’t change—rather, as false selves are shed and buried elements of yourself are retrieved and integrated, your expression of yourself aligns with who you truly are. Thought patterns, attitudes, behaviors, and ways of being in the world that are incongruent with your core self may drop away. (Schlitz, Vieten, & Amorok, 2007, p. 21) Self-remembering becomes an emergent process. The act...

Experiencing Information The Project

For the last year, I have been trying to write a blog about my work as a Mindfulness Coach guiding people through their emotions, stress and past experiences to find answers within themselves,and be fully in the Now.  I’m utterly frustrated. We are continuously hit by so much information that I’d rather not add to the noise. I have written a few posts, but I find them difficult to write and once you’ve read them, you have the ideas placed in your head like a block.  A concept block. Then when you want to use it, you have to remember...

Compassion and Business with Jeff Weiner during Wisdom week

Two weeks ago I went to one of the pre-Wisdom 2.0 events, a luncheon with Jeff Weiner and the impressions he made with his insights still linger. The room was filled with early-adopter idealists who are looking for the best way to implement their high ideals into the real world. The LinkedIn CEO was speaking to an audience who view him as the total success story–how to take strong inner core values such as mindfulness, conscious living and compassion– and apply them in the real world.  SUCCESSFULLY. The audience breathed in every word he spoke. Some were skeptical at first...

An Interview with Colette Baron-Reid

Colette is a wonderful force of nature with an incredible eye for the inner workings of the human intuition. Her newest project is the IN-Vizion® Coaching Technique. Based on Jungian archetypal principles it is a process that guides one through the subconscious in a rich voyage of images, which in the end reveal one’s own intuition and imagination. A voyage toward self-awareness. I met Colette at her very first IN-Vizion training and have been honored to lead people through their landscapes and dreams ever since then. The IN-Vizion process is a one of a kind coaching process that lets you...

Emotions as a tool

Do you react to your emotions? Do you engage in a dialogue that can feel like it is unending after feeling an emotion? If we are able to let emotions pass through us like the wind and express that which is necessary in the moment and finally let them go with grace, we will be able to live our life fully and find peace at the same time. Emotions are there as neuropeptides in our body. They actually signal to us way before we become aware of our arising emotions. It is a a means of communication, a way to...

Diet Pressure

The diet mentality is something incredibly stressful. The pressure to eat or not to eat this food or that. The conversation running underneath it all of whether it is “deserved” or not. The view of food as the enemy, something that will make you gain weight by just looking at it.  The running questions on how do I look or how many pounds did I lose or how many calories did I burn? All of this will just manage to put us under so much stress that we then experience an increase in cortisol. Now here is the thing-cortisol actually...

Painting life

Look at how you paint your life. What landscapes do you have in front of you? Where are you going? Do you know what your goals are? Or are they merely a play of shadows in a vast landscape of fog? What does happiness mean to you? What does it look like, smell like, sound like, feel like? Embrace it! Your life is your painting, your very own artwork. What do you want it to look like? Does it look like that now?
