✨ “What the world needs to focus on is the power of love — not the love of power.”
— Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND

When we lead with love, we create safety.
When we choose compassion, we soften reactivity.
And when we shift away from control and dominance, healing becomes possible — within ourselves, our relationships, and our communities.

True strength isn’t found in force or authority.
It’s found in empathy, presence, and the courage to meet pain with understanding rather than fear.

Healing begins when we remember that love — steady, grounded, and intentional — is one of the most powerful medicines we have. 🌿

Do you find your thoughts looping or spiraling, especially when stressed? 🌀 Sticky thoughts can leave us overwhelmed — but we don’t have to be at their mercy.

Here’s a simple 5-step tool to break the cycle and reclaim control:

✨ Recognize your thoughts — awareness awakens choice
✨ Don’t follow destructive thoughts — let them be, without engagement
✨ Relax into your breath — breathe with intention
✨ Repeat the practice — repetition builds new neural pathways
✨ Reaffirm & rephrase — choose supportive thoughts with compassion

Learn more about these steps and how they can help calm spiraling thinking:

Valentine’s Day is also about loving yourself. Ultimately, it is our feelings about ourselves and how we treat ourselves that are critical to our mental health and well-being. And our ability to love another stems from our ability to love ourselves.

I ask every patient how much they love themselves on a scale of 1 to 10, and it is rare for me to get a response over five.

The most common response I get is, “Now, that is a tough question to answer.” A few patients have responded with a negative number. This saddens me to the core of my being.
It breaks my heart to hear someone speak so unkindly of themselves, yet I too would once have given a similar response.

It is important to look into another person’s eyes with a heartfelt caring and loving intent. My response to my patients is “When I look in your eyes, I only see love and I do not see anything not to love.” But it is one thing for me to say this and another for patients to embody and accept this statement.
Ask yourself: If you talked to your best friend the way you talk to yourself, would they accept it?

Why are we here?
We all come here to love
Sometimes we lose in love
We get lost in love
We leave in love
We stay for love
We are guided by love
To change, grow, expand and let go
💕

Our journeys will end in love
And if we have loved, we will cry in love
For the one we’ve lost
💕
Whether we hold them in our heart for
an hour
a day
a week
a month
a year
or a lifetime
Love, asks us to let go
and hold a forever place in our heart
For their loving presence in your life
💕

When they go
Make sure the Departure is rooted in love
Cherish the tender moments and memories
And may they comfort and carry you forever in loving peace -

❤️ Wear Red Canada raises awareness for women’s heart health — and honors lives lost.

Globally, cardiovascular diseases affect 1 out of 3 women, yet women everywhere are:
❤️Under-studied
❤️Under-diagnosed
❤️Under-treated
❤️Under-aware

Heart disease is largely preventable. There is a lot we can all do to help reduce the risk. Schedule an appointment with Dr. Mason-wood, ND as prevention is the best medicine - call 587-521-3585.

You may have heard the phrase:
“People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.”

When someone enters your life for a reason or a season, it is often to support you through a specific challenge.

These relationships aren’t meant to last forever — and that doesn’t mean they failed.

✨ “Ultimately, the goal is to learn to respond from a place of emotional calm — like a still lake — versus reacting with disruptive emotional waves, like a lake in stormy weather.”
— Dr. Christina Bjorndal, ND 💕

Easier said than done — I know.

Each time you are emotionally activated, you have two choices:
1️⃣ React by attacking, dismissing, or withdrawing
2️⃣ Stay with the emotion and work it through
As long as we attack or withdraw, we remain stuck in victimhood.

When you feel activated, try gratitude and curiosity instead:
• What is the hole here?
• What feels empty or lost?
• What am I truly missing right now?

I’m deeply grateful to have studied Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté and continue to compassionately navigate my own emotional reactivity.

If emotional reactivity feels familiar for you, I invite you to join me in Moving Beyond.
