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!

Time To Upgrade My Deodorant...

 

I've been falling behind on my blog because I've been so busy lately. Doing what? Mostly forcing myself to step out of my comfort zone! Let me tell you, I've done a LOT of sweating in the past couple of weeks, so much that I'm going to have to upgrade my deodorant! It may be "strong enough for a man", but not strong enough for Lise stepping out of her comfort zone :)

It all started when my school - the Institute for Integrative Nutrition- gently let us know we had to start practising health consultations with classmates and friends. I overcame my initial resistance and practised with people I'm very comfortable with. That was relatively easy. Nevertheless, I felt like I needed to challenge myself a little more. I wondered what would be the hardest part about doing these consultations in real life? Well, because I'm a hyper-sensitive, intuitive introvert, being face to face with total strangers would obviously be very disorienting for me (at first, anyway).

So what did I do? I went and posted the following online ad: "Student Offering Free Health Consultation..." And yes, many people replied to it. Gulp. No backing out now, Lise! I decided to put my big girl pants on and meet these individuals in a little coffee shop in my neighbourhood. So far, I've done four consultations with very different people and I have four more lined up in the next couple of weeks. I'm doing two every Saturday, that's plenty for now.

And how is it going? Pretty good I think, except for the sweating! I'm learning SO much about energy and how I really need to ground myself before, after and during these consultations. I'm more aware than ever that the best thing I can do during these sessions is to be fully, completely, present. I'm reminding myself to breathe. I'm experiencing compassion and seeing the necessity for detachment at the same time. I'm discovering that my intuition is a reliable tool. I'm discovering that I CAN do this, I CAN overcome my fears and I even enjoy it in a sort of masochistic way.

Nowadays, everybody can benefit from a little guidance, encouragement and support. Everybody should have a chance to talk freely and be listened to without feeling judged. It feels fantastic and meaningful to be able to offer that to the individuals who will cross my path.

On top of doing consultations, studying, homeschooling my kids full-time and managing the household, I thought I'd also look for an office to start my practice. What do you think of the one in the picture? It's available... immediately. It even has a massage table where I could practice Reiki. Well, I'll keep you posted, but in the meantime, I better do something about that deodorant!

I Have To Do WHAT???

As you may know, I have been studying holistic health and nutrition at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition since the end of October 2013. I've been learning a great deal and have been feeling quite comfortable absorbing all this new information at my own pace, in the comfort of my home (while homeschooling my kids at the same time). However, things are changing quickly now. 

I feel like I am being pushed off the passive student chair and kicked into real-life action! Already, after not even 4 months, I am required to start doing Health Consultations with clients! (I graduate officially in October 2014). Of course, we start practising gently with the people we trust the most -friends, family, fellow students- but I'm really just a step away from posting an add on Kijiji asking total strangers to sit with me for a free Health Consultation! I was a little resistant at first, (ok, very resistant). I have to admit I felt some fear and anxiety. I was not expecting the leap from student to consultant to happen so fast! But you know what? I'm ok with it now. Not sure how I'll feel when I sober up...(just kidding!)

Seriously, it took me a couple of weeks to get mentally prepared to go out and work in the "real world". I reviewed all the step-by-step instructions given by the school to lead a successful first consultation. I realized I actually do have a lot of information and insight to offer to people who are looking for ways to live happier, healthier lives. I plan on integrating some basic consciousness / awareness notions in my practice because I believe they play a key role in reducing stress and allowing true healing to happen. I also think I'm a good listener, and that's the most important part when working with clients.

So, last Sunday, I practised my very first health consultation with my "peer coach" -a friend who lives in my city who's also enrolled at the IIN. She said I did a great job. Of course, as a peer coach, it's her job to say that, but I trust her judgement! Tomorrow, I'll be practising with my sister-in-law. In a few days, who knows, I could be practising with you! (just email me if you are interested! www.lisevilleneuve.com)

What's amazing about the Institute for Integrative Nutrition is that they really offer a complete package that gives us all the tools to get out there and start working within one year. They cover all the bases -education, business, marketing, self-care, and they address the common insecurities most students face. They get us off our butts and into action in no time, and they empower us to make positive changes in the world by helping others help themselves. 

After I completed my degree in Psychology from University, I had no clue how to quickly turn that into a job. Thanks IIN, you have shown me exactly what I needed to learn...and it's not over yet...there are several months of training to go.

***By the way, for those of you possibly interested in being my "guinea pigs" for a free health consultation, let me just explain how this works: 1) You fill in a brief questionnaire (health history) that asks general questions about your health and diet. 2) You email it back to me and then we set a time to go over it together. 3) You basically get a chance to talk about yourself, your health goals and challenges (everything we discuss is confidential). 4) I listen, mirror back to you some of the things you said (it's sometimes surprising for some people to hear back what they just said), we identify your main health concerns together and then I tell you about my health coaching program. 5) You pretend to sign up, I congratulate you and we both fly off into Nirvana...well, something like that. Contact me at consciouslivingsolutions@gmail.com if you'd like more info about this free consultation. Thanks for being part of my training!***
