Wish for You

Wish for you ~

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

CULTIVATING HEAVEN

With the New Year now fully upon us, it’s time to consider what this new cycle can mean for each of us. For me, the theme is Cultivating Heaven in 2011! This means that this year, I will be more conscious of how I actively create & allow the sublime to manifest in my daily life. In each arena of my life, career, relationships, health, & personal development, I will observe my thoughts, words, & actions & how they can bring me closer to a more enlightened lifestyle wherever I am throughout the year.

Because I travel rather often, this is even more important. I’ve learned that I cannot rely on anything outside of myself, because the people, places & things of my Life are constantly changing as I go from one region or state to another. This has motivated me to cultivate a mindfulness wherever I go…to stay connected to the creative forces of my own spirit and the powerful forces of the Universe. Mere mortals could never be expected to fulfill our deeper needs, so we must cultivate this relationship with the Divine & ourselves in order to maintain joy & peace in our Hearts.

As you walk you’re Life Path this year, notice what you need to cultivate more Heaven in 2011! Then let us know by commenting at the end of this post! Meanwhile, take this one-minute survey to let us know what kinds of retreats would be best for you this year!

CORPORATE RETREAT IDEAS & ACTIVITIES

Everyone could use some emotional support as he or she reaches for their life goals.  Health, wealth & happiness are the elixirs of Life.  Spiritual communion is in there somewhere, too!  At companies across the world, employees are trying to manage work-life balance issues.  CEOs are receiving Wellness Education to reap the 300+% R.O.I. on every dollar spent to help their teams learn better self-care.

A Life Coach become relevant at every level of development.  Sometimes, Group Coaching is the solution.  People need to think out loud to refine their understanding of a particular topic in their lives.  Love relationships, for example, can unnecessarily distract someone from their wellness & well-being.

Having a Life Coach who can support the learning curve of recognizing and pursuing one’s highest options immediately relieves untold stress, which will often lead to wellness crises.  Coaching by phone makes Wellness & Well-Being goals more manageable.  In the comfort of wherever a person is, if they have a phone, they can get the help they need on any of various topics to get themselves in top form.

Weekly sessions are set up to anticipate the needs of every individual.  We know there’s going to be acknowledgment for what is working & strategic guidance for what needs more attention.  Taking a half-hour before & after sessions helps you get the most out of every session.  Preparing questions & reflecting on notes will make the rest of the week a breeze…and fun!  Everyone’s on the same page with goals & process.

The pinnacle perhaps is a stay at a rejuvenating location for retreats or yoga instruction.  Corporate wellness programs which offer not only a life or wellness coach, but also retreats & yoga instruction show an impressive improvement in employee health & well-being, especially when an example is set by the CEO to make self-care a priority.

Colors & Scent

Colors & Scents are an easy way to fluff up your aura!  Just let yourself imagine or actually explore the various choices of color & scent you have in your daily life.  Your clothes, linen, fragrance, aromas, et al can enrich your mundane grind, transforming it into a festival of joy.  Red, pink, white, yellow, green, blue, brown, black, gray, purple, in your favorite shades leading your parade of happiness.  Rose, sandalwood, tangerine, cinnamon, basil, verbena, lavender, cypress, lemon, jasmine, clary sage, grapefruit, frankincense, patchouli, lime, cedar, ylang-ylang, rosemary, and the others, each can uplift you; body, mind, heart, soul, & environmentally, whether thru landscapes, bouquets, room freshening, etc.  Choose organic, therapeutic-grade oils for best results.  Have fun with it, but learn how to effectively use oils, as they are potent substances and must be used with a great deal of care.  Creating your sanctuary can give you a good foundation everyday as you pursue your wellness & well-being.  Namaste.

Evolve Your Zen in 2010

Happy New Year!

This year, every day, you can take better care of yourself by just slowing down whenever you can.  Take some time regularly to breathe, stretch, & nurture your mind, body, heart, & soul!  Your well-being starts from the inside & ripples out to the far corners of your corner of the Universe.

January is a good month to reflect on the last couple of years, what you’ve learned, and where you want to go from here.  Taking care of yourself begins with a nourishing diet, restful sleep, and rejuvenating activities.

Everyday, do a few nice things for yourself & you will feel more content as you go about your day, taking care of the mundane details which can often overwhelm us when we’re not feeling our peak condition.

Work-life balance happens on a daily basis, as we notice where we can stop,  catch our breath, & connect to our inner well-being.  Underneath all the fuss, there is indeed a continuous stream of well-being which we may tap into whenever we like to rejuvenate & regenerate.

Take the time to explore your personal needs & watch your world blossom!

Holistic modalities allow you the time to integrate your past, present, & future.
