Everything that is going on right now, we have created.
If we have created it, we know how to navigate through it.

Life is its own creation.

We have a choice, how we react, respond in the present moment.
Focus on creating the “feeling” you desire to experience.
This is not a secret.

Within your minds eye bring up a difficult and stressful past event.
Be a witness, a neutral observer to that event.
Identify the feelings, within your physical body and your emotional body.

Now, observe a past event that was positive, a good experience for you.
Identify the feelings.

We are Creators.
Connect with the feeling you desire to create within your current life situation.
Breathe into the feeling, giving it Life.

Wishing you the expereince of your divine being,
Vivian

“I think people want to be magnificent.
It is the job of the leader to bring out that magnificence in people and to create an environment where they feel safe and supported and ready to do the best job possible in accomplishing key goals.

This responsibility is a sacred trust that should not be violated.

The opportunity to guide others to their fullest potential is an honour and one that should not be taken lightly.

As leaders, we hold the lives of others in our hands. These hands need to be gentle and caring and always available for support.” ~ Ken Blanchard

Did you know that people who meditate for a short time each day are much happier than people who don’t?

Meditators are much healthier with greatly extended life spans, too. As a matter of fact, their health is so much better that a number of insurance companies have reduced premiums for people who meditate.

Did you know that experienced meditators have developed many latent abilities that they never knew they had, abilities that exist within every person? And they have gotten much closer to answering life’s mysterious questions? They are much smarter, too. In fact, meditators brains have been proven to function at a superior level on every single test, measurement, and assessment that the scientific community has generated. That is one reason why top level executives and CEOs meditate.

Were you aware that meditators produce immensely more pleasurable brain chemicals, the same chemicals that flow through your system on the days when you feel very good, and these pleasurable brain chemicals are produced constantly?

Did you know that they also sleep much better? As a matter of fact, they need fewer hours of sleep every night because their mind and bodies are completely refreshed and rejuvenated during their highly pleasurable meditation sessions. Meditation is many times more powerful than sleep.

Also, meditators have far superior mental and emotional health. They have less anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, fear, and they have more friends, healthier relationships, and feel a great deal more satisfied and content with their lives.

When I meet with a client for an Integrated Session we begin exploring where they are right Now in their lives. In all my sessions, I hold the space for the client to connect with Universal Intelligence and the Divine spirit gently shows us where to look for the ‘blocks’ of energy creating the imbalances within our bodies or the drama in our lives. Using this guidance I am able to uncover the trapped emotions and assist the client to move into a space where mind, body and spirit are aligned.

Remember, there is not a ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ place to begin when deciding to make any changes in your life. When we choose to transform one area it has a ripple effect that extends to your personal, family and friends and professional life; nothing is left untouched. By standing eye to eye with fear and allowing ourselves to move through its illusionary chains, we are able to experience a profound sense of empowerment and freedom.

My approach is to assist the individual into a place of calm and clarity. This is the basis for a solid foundation. So that moving forward the client remains aligned with the Source for the highest good. In other words, by aligning our inner spiritual life with our outer life, we are able to clear away the mental, emotional and physical clutter. Calm and clarity allows us to hear the inner messages from our soul, to discover our true propose so that we can create a life that supports that purpose.

An Integrated Session is generally focused on a particular challenge in the client’s life; overcoming a fear, career change, resolution to a past/present conflict or finding a life partner, etc. The session is designed to move you out of the ‘block’ and into a clear space of inspiration. I draw on a variety of interactive tools; Akashic Record reading, inner child, guided meditations that take you deep into your consciousness, breathe work and energy medicine (Reiki, Reconnective Healing and Axiatonal Alignment) specific to your needs for nurturing long-lasting positive changes.

No matter what the focus for the session, you will become more connected with your authentic self. I will assist you to create an action plan for achieving your goals. A practical approach to creating a life that reflects who you truly are.

The two hour session begins with a discussion of the areas you would like to address, we find the focus and set the intention for the session. Next will we move into an intuitive exploration utilizing a variety of interactive tools. Depending on what we are dealing with, this may include energy medicine, guided mediation, inner child work and soul reading. Finally, the session ends with practical ways to implement the learning from your inner exploration. An Integrative Session can be a one-off experience or you may book regular sessions when dealing with long standing issues.

Grounding exercises are designed to help you focus your attention on the present moment. They are helpful whenever you are having an experience that is overwhelming, or that is absorbing all of your attention. Grounding exercises are meant to “snap you back into reality” relatively quickly.

Visual and Auditory Grounding Exercises

Visual and auditory grounding exercises rely on using your senses of sight and hearing to ground you in the present moment.

These exercises are suitable for any environment — you don’t need to be able to see or hear anything special to be able to practice these. They are particularly useful for times when you are in public and need to practice grounding, because you can do these without anyone else knowing what you are doing. You can stop the exercise whenever you are feeling reconnected to the present moment reality.

To conduct a visual grounding exercise, take a deep breath, and then start to mentally catalog the things you see around you. Notice even the mundane details (e.g., that electrical outlet is white, and is a little bit crooked).

To conduct an auditory grounding exercise, listen to the sounds you hear around you. Don’t just notice the obvious sounds, but notice the layers of sound (e.g., the sounds behind the sounds). Notice how sounds rise and fall, their pitch and timbre.

Tactile Grounding Exercises

Tactile grounding exercises use your sense of touch to ground you in the present moment. These exercises can be used when you are experiencing particularly intense distress or dissociation.

One commonly used tactile grounding exercise is done using an ice cube. Grab an ice cube out of the freezer and hold it in your hand until it starts to cause some mild discomfort (don’t hold on to it for too long or it can cause pain). Many people find that the discomfort helps them reconnect with the present moment.

Other tactile ground exercises include taking a cool shower, or using a rubber band on your wrist to quickly “snap” yourself back to the present moment.

Other Grounding Exercises

If none of the above work for you, be creative and make up your own grounding exercise. What senses are most powerful for you? Smell? Taste? Touch? Perhaps a strong smell (such as a whiff of peppermint from very strong mints) can bring you back into the present moment. Try different grounding tools until you find one that works for you.

Everything is energy.

All energy has a unique frequency, a vibration that is specific to the particular matter.

Humans are energy. We impart a particular frequency depending on how we feel, think and act.

If you are unhappy with something in your life, examine the frequency you are broadcasting.

Adjust beliefs, thoughts, feelings and action into the alignment of what you want to create for yourself.

Have fun playing with Creation energy, it exists on a vibration of Love ♥

Many of us say that we want love
We spend tons of energy
Sometimes even money
On trying to find it

But then I wonder
Are we really open to receiving it
Once it shows up on our doorstep

Or do we actually shut the door
On the very thing we want most?

Does your heart open wide when love knocks on your door
Expanding and opening to let the love flow in
Or does your heart contract, recoil and pull back
Peer out the window, want to open the door so badly, but is too afraid
Of what would happen if it let love in again?

Does your heart rush in with open arms to find and embrace connection in this world
Expecting to receive love back
Knowing that love is everywhere when you know where to look
And when your heart is open to receive it?

Or is your heart cautious, having been hurt before,
So it doesn’t let itself open too wide or let too many people in
Instead of skipping through life freely and joyfully
Is your heart walking safely and securely never risking too much?

It’s okay you know,
We’ve all be hurt
We’ve all had our innocent pure loving hearts smacked around
Stepped on
Looked over
Rejected
Abandoned

And as a result,
You may have built big walls around your heart
So you’d never be hurt again
Or you may have taken all the walls down
Hoping you’d be loved again, if you just gave more of yourself away.

And although you were doing what you needed to do
To protect yourself at the time
The truth is that what actually protects you most is not walls or the giving of yourself away,
The biggest protection you have in life is love.

But love can only protect you if you let it in.
Love can only serve you if you let it.
And all love needs is permission to come in.

Think of all the ways that love comes knocking on your heart’s door:

When a stranger smiles
Do you smile back and let the love permeate your heart
Or do you give a fake obligatory smile or pretend you didn’t notice?

When someone approaches you with the offer of a hug
Do you let the embrace fully envelope you
Letting all your body parts touch, chest, belly and arms
Or do you politely offer a few pats on the back, never touching hearts
Or do you go for the A frame hug, letting your upper chest touch but the hug stops there.

When someone offers to help you or pays you a compliment
Does your heart open wide to say THANK YOU! YES! I will receive that
Or do you push back their gift
Saying you can handle it on your own
Or “this old thing, I’ve had it for years!”

When someone offers you a chance to connect during your ‘busy’ day
Do you stop and make time for love
Or do you skip by the moments in life in which love is offered
Putting it on hold for when you have time,
But those times come far and few between?

When you wake up in the morning
Do you look around and notice the magic and splendor of the beauty of this world?
Do you fill your heart with all that you are grateful for
Or do you jump out of bed without noticing much of anything
Except thinking of all the things you have to do or all that you haven’t yet done?

When you find yourself in relationship with an intimate partner, a lover, a mate
Do you let down your walls of protection
And show them the truth of your heart and soul
Even in the times, especially in the times, when you are afraid?
Do you lean in with an open heart to create the intimacy that you desire,
Or do you use love as a weapon, or say you want intimacy but then don’t offer it?
Do you settle for less than the deep emotional connection that only two open hearts can create
And tell yourself that what you have is enough.
When your heart knows that it is not?

What if today, you let your heart speak freely.
What would she or he say?
What one daring act of love would you be willing to take
To risk letting love walk in your heart’s door?
To set your heart free
To do what it does best
To love.
And in return allow you to revel and trust in that love forever.

Reiki means Universal Life force energy or God conscious energy. Reiki is used to remove energy ‘blocks’ within the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual body.  My role during a client session is to create the space for Reiki energy to move through. I hold this space within my body, mind and spirit, the energy is not coming from me.  I am not ‘taking’ from the client and the client is not ‘taking’ energy from me.  Reiki vibrates on a frequency of Love and Light, it’s heart centred, green ray energy that progresses through the body’s chakra system to clear and balance, thus moving the client into alignment of their mind, body and spirit.

The great majority of my Reiki clients come to see me because of the instant relief that they experience during and after a Reiki session, the effect lasts for about 3 days. A session runs for about an hour and the client experiences moving into a very deep state of relaxation. I often refer to this as a ‘sleep, awakening’ state, because the client is neither fully asleep nor completely awake – it can be quite a joyous, blissful and spiritual state.  Many people describe feeling a glowing radiance around them during the actual session or a feeling of floating outside of their bodies.  It’s also common for clients to ‘see’ colours, images and receive messages from their higher self or spirit guides during the session.

Reiki energy is a gentle yet powerful and effective form of alternative medicine that aids in balancing the body’s energy system. By moving the mind, body and spirit into balance, the result is an increase of vibration within the body, which naturally promotes relaxation and healing. When relaxation is achieved, many other wonderful benefits are experienced; such as calming of the mind, increased vitality/immunity, reduced anxiety and depression, pain management and deep restful sleep.

If in the past you have used massage as a form of stress relief, then the benefits from a Reiki session will be remarkable. This is not to suggest that if you have been dealing with extreme stress over a long period of time, that one Reiki session will be your ‘magic pill’.  However by the second and third session individuals in difficult life situations do begin to feel Reiki’s full effects. Everyone’s experience is quite unique, but at the end of the treatment you will feel extremely relaxed and refreshed with a more positive, balanced outlook on life.  Shifting into a space of calm and clarity, strengthens the foundation of our lives to make better choices in our everyday life.

Some of you may be thinking, “I can’t relax that deeply, it’s not going to work for me!” In my practice, over the last 10 years I’ve had exceptional success with guiding individuals into a deep state of relaxation. Clients are asked to come to the session with an open mind, an open heart and to set the intention to release what no longer serves them; without expectation, attachment and judgement.

If you are interested you can learn how to do Reiki on yourself and others, Reiki energy is available to all who wish to connect.  Attending a Reiki Level I course, you will be attuned/initiated to Reiki energy, you will be taught the Reiki history/principles, the chakra system, how to feel/see energy and the hand positions to give yourself and others a Reiki session.  Since I have been in practice for 10 years, I also enjoy sharing relevant stories of individuals and how Reiki has benefited them.

The Hara point is located about 2 inches below your navel.  The Hara is the center from where one enters life and that is the center from where one dies and goes out of life.  Bringing your awareness to this place during a meditation results in improved digestion, relaxation of the mind, stress relief and helpful for insomnia.

Hara meditation is very simple to do, where you have five or sixty minutes available to sit back and bring your awareness to present moment awareness – you mind, body and spirit complex will experience many positive benefits.

1. Sit in a comfortable position or you may lie down, if that is more comfortable.
2. Hands are overlapped with thumbs crossed.  Place the crossed hands on the lower abdomen – Hara point which is 2 inches below your navel.
3. Close your eyes and place the tip of your tongue to roof of the mouth, just behind the front teeth.
4. Relax, particularly your chest and breathe from your abdomen. Take about 4-6 deep breathes, take your time, enjoy.
5. Now release any remaining muscle tension in your body and concentrate on your breathing. Let your breathing become very natural. It will find its own pace and you may notice that it slows and deepens.
6. Continue to return your awareness to your Hara whenever it drifts away. Focus all of your attention there. Be in that place. Releasing your mental constrictions will allow the energy of the Hara to move up your spine and throughout your body.

You may feel energized, yet at the same time you may feel the peace of being in balance.

Experience whatever comes without judgement or expectation. Focus your attention without desire for any particular result. Allow the emptiness of non-doing to bring you peace.

You are back with the source… your true nature.
