The flow you experience when you are in Alignment is addicting. You’re feeling fantastic, everything seems to be going your way, life’s difficulties feel temporary and you’re motivated to fix them without complaint.   But life requires contrast and as a consequence, once you’ve experienced the magic of being in Alignment, it becomes very frustrating when you’re out and can’t seem to get back in. Your usual get happy tricks aren’t working. Netflix is boring, you’re sick of the music on your playlist, it’s too cold to go for a walk and even a piece of your favourite chocolate just ain’t cutting it today. Here are my top three tricks to get you back into Alignment. Accept it (without judgement) This is number one for a reason. It’s one of the most powerful tools you can use when you’re feeling those negative emotions that are keeping you down. It can also be one of the most difficult steps to take. The good news is that once you start practicing acceptance on a r

L ast night my friend was very upset. One of her staff members had called in sick for the next morning. She herself had a very busy day of meetings and an overwhelming backlog of work to complete. It was close to midnight and she had exhausted all her possible options to fill the shift. She told me she was going to have to go into work for 7am to fill the busy part of the shift herself and her final meeting would be at 6pm. She would have to put in a 12 hour day right after having to work through her weekend due to throwing her staff a holiday party and having to attend a day long training session on her usual days off. She was holding back tears; exhausted. My friend is the hardest working person I know. While I have admired her tenacity at work for years, I have also seen the emotional and physical toll it takes on her.  I began to walk the fine line a best friend in this situation has to walk. Being a sympathetic ear while trying to get her to see the situation fro

Once I imagined it, no other seemed to spark joy in me. A few months ago, inspired by an Instagram picture, I decided I would like to begin collecting a few minimalistic style gold rings. I had a few specifications immediately: they must be high quality, they can’t be too expensive and they must spark joy in me. After purchasing a couple plain gold stacking rings I was ready to invest in a more substantial piece. After searching the internet, markets and a few jewelry stores I began to piece together exactly what this ring should look like through continuously finding what I did not want. I was data collecting but did not yet realize I was also creating resistance. Instead of enjoying the process of figuring out exactly what my new ring will be, I was beginning to grow frustrated. And once I was able to imagine the ring clearly, no other ring seemed to spark any joy in me. My frustration grew. Frustration is at a much lower vibrational level than the joy I expected to feel when

Now, that you have your goals down on paper , we are going to start calling them to us!  Step One : We are going to begin with changing your brain waves to the coherent Alpha or Theta waves. There are different ways to accomplish this. Personally I have found Binaural beats , and breathing exercises very effective. The goal is to enter a relaxed trancelike state. If your the gadget type, you can purchase Muse: The Brain Sensing Headband , which is suppose to monitor your brain waves through a head piece to help keep your meditative state in the optimal range. I haven’t tried it out myself but if enough of you are interested I will give it a test drive! Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried it out yourself or would like to see me review it! Another option is to download Dr. Joe Dispenza’s guided meditation from his website   .This meditation focuses on bringing your attention and awareness to the space around individual parts of your body and then ending with your atten

Vive La Résistance! When I think about resistance, that saying is among the first things that comes to mind. Nazi fighters. People actively fighting against evil forces. So when I looked into why my life wasn’t perfect law of attraction manifesting bliss despite everything I’ve been practicing, and the word resistance kept popping up, you can imagine the confusion. Why would anyone fight against what they were trying to manifest? I’ve heard about (and seen) people self-sabotaging. A lack of self-worth motivating them to unconsciously block their own success but as far as I could tell, that wasn’t my issue. I was in a joyous place (alignment), feeling the emotions of having as often as possible, certain I deserved it and knowing it was going to appear any day now. Months went by and I tried harder, and harder...and still nothing. There must be something I was overlooking and forgetting. Time to go back to the books. I picked up Ask and It Is Given: Learning to Manifest Yo
