What You REALLY Want For Christmas...

Maybe we should just be honest with ourselves this year and cut to the chase by answering this simple question: what do we REALLY want for Christmas? Let me help you out here. We just want to feel good or, at least, better! The truth is, everything we choose to do is done because we think it will somehow make us feel better or avoid pain.

Think about it. The whole Christmas shopping ordeal is either fuelled by a desire to please and/or a desire to avoid guilt or embarrassment! We give "things" because this makes us feel better. Sure, it's nice to give and receive new gadgets, they distract and entertain us for awhile, but we all intuitively know that material things are not the key to feeling that deep, lasting peace and joy we all crave! What if we could wrap up those wonderful feelings in a little box, instead? What if we could offer them as gifts to ourselves, as well as to the people we love? Wouldn't that be the perfect present? Well, you actually can!

Instead of embarking on the 2014 Shopping Crusade this year, unconsciously trying to please everybody -including yourself- with a material solution to a metaphysical problem, why not just focus on this idea: "what can I do to make myself and others feel better?" It's time for you to get creative here! Shopping is somewhat easy (especially if you have masochistic tendencies) but it only brings superficial, momentary pleasure. 

Obviously, sometimes it's inappropriate to want to offer "the feelings of love, peace and empowerment" to your boss, your mother-in-law or your ex, and a box of chocolates will do just the trick. But for those souls who are really close to you, whom you dearly love and wish the absolute best, why not give them what they really want (but may not know it yet)? Help them to feel more confident, help them become healthier, help them reach for their dreams, help them experience true joy!

If you are looking for suggestions to bring this idea to life (and you are in the Edmonton area), I can offer you a 1-hour "Soul Spa" Package (Gift Certificates available).

10 Secrets to Living a Fulfilling, Wonderful, Magical life...

Would you like to know 10 secrets to living a fulfilling, wonderful, magical life?  

1.       Wake up from the illusion. You are a spiritual being in a material world. The current reality you are experiencing is not set in stone. The physical world you interpret each day is only a tiny fraction of the whole. I can help you broaden your perspective and empower you.

You are a beautiful, luminous, intuitive and creative Being

2.       Understand energy and start shaping your reality. The Universe, all matter and even your thoughts are all made up of vibrating energy. This energy is governed by very specific laws. Once you understand these laws, you become a conscious creator. I’ll show you how and help you practice, practice, practice until you don’t have any more doubts!

You are a powerful co-creator in this unified Universe

3.       Redefine success. Forget about money, power, adventure. Those things are great, but true success is measured by the amount of JOY you feel every day. You intuitively know this to be true, and I can help you get there, step by step.

You were meant to experience love, joy and purpose every day

4.       Admit that we ALL have some healing to do. Whether physical or emotional, there are parts of you that want to heal. You may or may not be aware of it, but your mind / ego have been in the driver’s seat for awhile now. This may cause you to feel exhausted, sick, depressed, anxious, angry, discouraged or confused. It’s time to get realigned with your heart and spirit because life was not meant to be a struggle. You deserve to feel great each day and I can help you heal those disowned parts of yourself.

You CAN heal your body, your mind, your relationships and feel fantastic!

5.       Focus exclusively on what you want, not what you don’t want. Stop dwelling on the past, on the problems in your life, and start to clearly define what you DO want instead! Positive focus is an extremely powerful skill. It may take a little practice at first, but I’ll help you master it in no time.

Your desires are extremely important and achievable

6.       Embrace all your emotions. Stop running away from what you are feeling and let yourself fully experience your emotions. They are sending you very important messages, such as “you are not in alignment right now, do something about it!” I will help you fine-tune your emotional compass.

Your emotions are your internal compass guiding you each step of the way

7.       Get comfortable with just “being”. It’s time to stop obsessing about doing, doing, doing and time to start being ok with being. After all, you are a human being, not a human doing! I will help you become more aware of the unconscious thought patterns that make us compulsive “doers”. By learning to be still, you will gain access to your inner wisdom, intuition and creativity.

You have access to deep wisdom within you

8.       Treat your body like the sacred temple it truly is. It’s time to stop fueling yourself with garbage! Your body is begging to be loved, nurtured, accepted and listened to. I will give you gradual, simple tools and instructions that will help you take better care of yourself. This will increase your energy and improve your mood.

You can release blocked energy, look and feel great and inspire others

9.       Understand the ultimate motivation behind everything you do. Every action you take is designed to make you feel better. Let that sink in for a second. Even selfless acts provide us with rewards like satisfaction and increased self-esteem. Be honest with yourself and give yourself permission to take actions that make you feel good directly. What do you really want? What makes you feel good? What brings you joy? I will coach you as you learn to choose better-feeling thoughts and actions each day.

You can learn to love and believe in yourself again

10.   Create your reality consciously, not “by default”. Whether you know and understand the rules of the game or not, you are creating your reality right now with every single thought that you have. The majority of your thoughts are unconscious, so it may seem like what you experience in your life are things you never asked for, but in reality, everything in your life originates from your thoughts. I will help you grow in awareness so that you can become a conscious creator of the life you truly want.

You CAN create the life you truly want!

How To Create The Life You Truly Want

I finally get it. After years of soul searching, studying, and experimenting, I can now say that I understand how I've slowly been creating the life I truly want, and I also know how to help others get there. This has been my lifelong passion, and I have shifted from inspiring people through music and writing (as a touring singer-songwriter and author) to empowering individuals directly as a holistic therapist.

I love being able to make a difference in peoples' lives. There is so much unnecessary suffering in our hearts. When I meet someone who's at the end of their rope and I'm able to guide them towards a brighter perspective -and eventually, a happier, healthier life- I know that I'm doing the work I was really meant to do. Today I'd like to share some insights to help you understand how you can create the life you truly want.

The Biggest Illusion
Our senses deceive us. You may think that your computer is solid and static, but it's not! Quantum physicists tell us that everything in this universe is made up of vibrating energy fields, including you. That means that everything has its own frequency, or vibration. Even your thoughts are vibrating energy particles that have their own frequency.

You may wonder how any of this affects your life. Well, say you wanted to lose some weight. Most of us would approach the problem of being overweight like this : "I see some unwanted fat here, I can touch it, it's real, so what I need to do is find a solution on the physical level to remove the fat. I'll try dieting and exercising." Will this work? Sure, you can get results that way, but what are you going to do about the thoughts (conscious and subconscious) that caused you to make the wrong choices and created that fat in the first place? If you remain unaware of those thoughts, they will eventually sabotage your short-term success and you will gain weight again.

The biggest illusion is that we believe the best way to control our physical reality is through our physical senses. We look for solutions to most of our problems on a physical level : "If I work more hours, I'll experience more wealth; if I look better, I'll attract a partner; if I find the right doctor, I'll be able to heal from this illness". We are skipping an important step here. Everything that has manifested into your life is the direct result of a thought you believed, somewhere down the road. Your thoughts create your reality. If you don't like that reality, the fastest way to change it is by changing your thoughts! Remember, if everything is made of vibrating energy, it makes sense that thoughts are the precursor to physical matter.

The Rules of the Game
Energetic vibrations are not just random and chaotic, they follow a universal law. Energetic vibrations that match are attracted to each other, and vibrations that don't match are pushed away from each other. You may have guessed that this is called the Law of Attaction. Again, how does this affect your life? Well, you have your very own energetic vibration. It changes from day to day, depending on how you feel and how well you take care of yourself. So, imagine that today you feel great and you have a very high vibration. Following the law of attraction, what do you think you are going to attract in your life today? Like attracts like, so get ready to be a magnet for other high frequency (or positive) circumstances, people and events. The same goes that if you feel down, you will unfortunately attract what you are emitting. Your life today is a perfect reflection of your most frequent thoughts. The good news is that you can learn to control your thoughts, as opposed to letting them control you.

The Key
You hold the key to transforming your life once you develop true awareness. Becoming aware is waking up from the reality you have been creating "by default". You then realize you had the power to shape your reality all along (by becoming aware of your thoughts).That can be scary for some. Now that you know YOU are the ultimate creator of your life, what are you going to create? What do you want? There are no more excuses to play small. It's time to raise your vibration and start attracting all the good stuff!

How to Change Your Reality
You may be thinking, "Ok, I understand all of this, but how can I control my thoughts and raise my vibration? Or, you may be saying "I've tried, and this law of attraction stuff doesn't work". Well, it's not enough to simply understand the concept and think good thoughts. It's all about practice, practice, practice, each and every day. This is actually what I specialize in. I provide tools and techniques to raise your awareness and increase your vibration on an energetic level over a period of 6 months. I teach you how to:

• Become more aware of core limiting beliefs and negative thoughts, and then change them
• Tune in to your emotions and higher self
• Take great care of your body / mind / spirit (nutrition, exercise, meditation, self-expression)
• Use consistent, regular, positive focus to reach your goals / intentions
• Learn to gravitate towards what brings you joy and peace

The Life You Truly Want is Built From the Inside Out
Once you understand that your life today is a direct reflection of your most practised thoughts, you can confidently decide where you want to go from here. The sky is the limit! The life you truly want is within your reach. You just need to plant those "dream seedlings" inside you and create an environment that will allow them to grow and manifest in your outer reality.

Welcome To My Office! Doors Are Opening...

I feel overwhelmed with gratitude for all the positive things that have been happening in the past few months! The latest joy was finding this perfect, cozy, welcoming office where I'll be working with clients as of next month (May, 2014). 

I want to thank Donna and Murray Armstrong from Armstrongs' Counselling for giving me the opportunity to share their gorgeous and serene facility. This office even comes with a massage table (next to the aquarium and zen garden!), allowing me to practice Reiki (I've been a Reiki Master since 2012). There is a sound system, a built-in bathroom, dimmer lights, a large stone for energy cleansing and even a Keurig coffee dispenser! I'm very eager to get started! 

My medium to long-term vision is to work out of a wellness center where parents will be able to safely drop off their kids in the room down the hall while they go for their consultations or treatments. This will allow mom or dad to fully focus on themselves while their kids can play with others and be supervised by a professional. This will allow me to continue homeschooling my own kids while working part-time. Eventually I want to develop this idea of "consciousness for kids" and offer workshops and educational activities for children. Another cool thing is that I've recently met some amazing healers and practitioners and I'd like to team up with them in the near future. I just can't believe the synchronicity I've been experiencing lately! 

So for now, (because it's all about the Now, right?) the office you see in the picture truly is my dream office! Want to come see it!!?

I will be pacing myself and starting slowly, with a maximum of 4 clients starting in May. I will be working with in-person clients on Saturday afternoons only. For those of you interested (and located in Edmonton), I have 4 available spots in my 6 month program starting on:

-Saturday, May 10 at 2 pm
-Saturday, May 10 at 3 pm
-Saturday, May 17 at 2 pm
-Saturday, May 17 at 3 pm

I've added a description page of my program on my website (under Health Program) with my very first home-made "infomercial" (Lol!)

Also, I added a "sample page" of the 24 weekly support pages my clients will have access to on my website. The goal is to keep them inspired and motivated between our sessions together. Have a look and tell me what you think of the format. I always appreciate feedback (as long as it's good! Just kidding!)

Thank YOU so much for your presence and support. I'm happy to be sharing this journey with you! Let's keep in touch!

Warmly,

Lise
