I got this sweet smelling body butter at the jazz festival last summer in the Beaches.

It smells so divine to me.

It is thick and rich and moist and nourishing.

I got few as gifts to clients as well.

I like being connected to my clients who I call Soul Family.

We found each other and choose to nurture the connection.

How divine is that?

Bob Proctor said there is nothing more Spiritual than developing a Business as it is where our Soul gets to experience growth and self expression 💗

We are in a Business with OurSelves, our Soul and our physical body in this lifetime game.

How we take care of our body matters.

Your story and your body matter here right now ✨ see what I did there? 😁 I love quantum physics and spirituality.

Matter is such a unique word.

Wishing you accepting blissful Thursday of what is so right here right here in this moment during the eclipse.

I love bright colours. At one point when I tried to look slimmer I wore a lot of black and then I had an intense draw to colour and to celebrate our bodies just as they are. I didn’t allow any black in my wardrobe only navy was the darkest colour.

I loved bright and standing out.

I recently commissioned to create my work tops and had my first fitting. She chose muted colours for me. At first I thought but I love bright and the muted colours grew on me.

It is my next evolution. Do you want to see the tops she created when they are ready? We totally forgot to take a photo of them during the fitting.

Do you like to wear colour?

When my phone makes these videos I like to pretend my life is perfect and all I get to do is heal people and celebrate with friends and family ✨ at least I can gamify this experience and life is everything…. All the emotions, and the self judgements and the extreme tired feelings.

Would you agree?

I remind my clients and to myself to practice self compassion and take care of self like one would of a toddler
✨have something to look towards too
✨plenty of snacks
✨rest
✨ element of surprise
✨ Hugs and kind words

Would you agree? 👆

I always want to be talked to in a kind loving way.

I am a mother to 6 year old and almost 4 year old and I’m realizing how much of my childhood I am healing.

We all are living some version of

Exactly like my caregiver or
Total opposite of my caregiver
A Version of both of these

Witness life.

Witness it all.

Share life with others. Share making memories. ✨💗

Scheduling events and receiving invites anchors me in this experience of reality and gives me something to look forward to.

Synchronicities that happened this week: 2 birthday alignment sessions - meaning clients are gifting themselves a gift of health on their birthday ✨💗 I feel honoured beyond belief as I was developing my healing alignment sessions to be of something that people look forward to and book seasonally and for their birthdays like they would book a spa day ✨💝

Status unlocked this week 🙌 without trying ✨

This is called accelerated reality 🌀

I reach preach and practice it and it does work and I celebrate and share it.

What synchronicities have been occurring for you?

experience with lake dipping friends and meal after.

Wishing you an enjoyable family day.

What were you up to? I worked at a client’s house on Friday with my daughter along as it was no school in Toronto. Saturday dip in the lake and we did playground and Sunday was all water activities Othership and swimming pool. So blessed. Today catching some sun and catching up on work.

You are not the person who you used to be,

Said my husband.

We met when I was 24 and he was 27.

I am not the person I used to be at 43.

I am better.

With life experience we can become better or bitter. Who gets to choose?

Us or experiences that happen for us.

Happy Self Love Day 💗

See Romantic love is subtly and not so subtly broadcasted as the ultimate goal to find on planet Earth.

And it is.

Find somebody to love that loves you back is a soulful song.

And with loving Self come a lot of benefits of healing Self, taking care of Self, build connections and friendships and relation - ships. And how we relate to others is in direction proportion of how we relate to ourSelves. We can only give what we got inside our cup ☕️

In fact we are designed to spill the tea 😂 we can’t keep it inside. When we get bumped by life circumstance we spill what’s inside. And spill we do.

So this Valentine’s Day, I invite you to love yourself unconditionally and take care of Self really well. Vs taking score of self worth by your circumstances around you. I can’t help it too sometimes to get ridiculously giddy when good experiences happen like going out with friends for galentines 💗💗💗✨ like how special is that?

How human it is to oscillate between
🔁I love my life 💗✨ and
♾️I hate my Life 😩

😂 humour is my way to deal with darkness and challenges of life.

Wishing you happy Valentines Day.

May you be your own Valentine.

It feels like we live in a movie.

Affair and politics in Toronto announced right before the live weekend 💗

So many discussions I am sure were had over this with so many diverse opinions.

Do you want to share yours?

Few pages in and discovering so much similarity with the author.

Learning how relationships changed drastically in the last 30 years compared to last 3,000 years.

Decluttered my relationships direction ✨💗✅

Did you know that we all have our pen personal directions for success, health, relationships and wisdom?

Not only declutter and organization is important for our environment. Activating our 4 directions allows chi to flow and support our light energetical bodies.

Life on Earth is not easy. We get 1/3 of our energy from the environment.

Is this an announcement, yes it is.

Accepting congratulations and words of wisdom.

Guess where?

Chiropractors get Chiropractic 💗✨

Did you know that only 10% of p population seek Somatic and talk therapy healing? So if you receive massage, chiro, acupuncture, see social worker of psychotherapist or psychologist you have an advantage in this game called Life.

I recommend 3 people on your health team. You get to chose who those professionals are and at least 3 and you can have more. Some specialists you might see once a year and some toy will see weekly or monthly.

Also only 10-20% regularly exercise and stretch. Did you stretch today or did some form of exercise? Then you are also in top game players.

If you haven’t, it’s not your fault. The programming of the world is not super conducive of taking care of selves.

It takes conscious effort to book an appointment and value this interaction and eventually it becomes a habit.

We flow on patterns. It’s not our fault what patterns were written into our psyche as it happens from 0-7 years old and it’s our choice to be aware of our patterns and choose new ones.

It’s not easy and it’s possible.

What habit you have you picked up consciously and appreciate the heck out and not planning to let go anytime soon?

Put in the comments. Carl and I would like to know 😆

Homework challenge 😆 this goes under nobody talks about homework and how it will be my life now. Okay okay it’s a chance to connect with my children and it feels like another thing to do….. in the evening when I’m feeling soooo tired. Winter season, it’s winter season. It will feel different soon. This will be new habit we practice.

How are you with homework? What are your memories? My memories are of my parents getting frustrated and I’m re wiring this programming for my children as I observe myself getting frustrated.

Industrial living what are you doing to humanity… I sooo admire people who home school - that’s determination and vision and courage.

Vision board 2023 and beyond

I was pumped to make it with lovely humans that .curated.life.by.inara brought together and supported us in dream expansion and installation.

I compared my board to my last year’s which I thought was “better” 😂 and my daughter ripped it a little which made me respond to her in non kind way 😢 I’m human and it’s an opportunity to apologize and talk about it.

The glue leaked and I judged the beautiful white puma became an ink blot.

And if you look closely you can see white puma 😍 what an Analogy for life: at brief glance it might be an ugly ink print with teeth barred and with closer look it’s beautiful thoughtful puma looking 👀 as spirit guide 🙏

The vision board is up.

Did you make a vision board?

Do you want to see my previous year one and what came true and what didn’t? Comment.

This experience is or****ic in so many ways.

The flowers from my mom.

The tiny red velvet cake I picked up today.

The smooth undersurface of the chocolate bark with abundance of red velvety strawberries 🍓 😍 the quiet of the house after a whirlwind weekend.

The choice to take Mondays for self care and focus on regulating nervous system to start industrial week of school drop offs.

The unexpected gift of father of the kids offering to pick up. There was an invite to go to Costco - that’s a privilege and this mama is melting into parasympathetic nervous system and raising oxytocin by devouring the dark chocolate 🍫 😋

I am celebrating my birthday month and every miracle and gift is filed under birthday memories.

🙏 I am so grateful to receive the abundance of the multiverses.

In this moment, in the now I feel safe.

What are your moments of feeling safe in the world that definitely carries the unsafe-you-will-die-certainly-will-scary-fear-finances-health-loss and also joy and depth and bliss. Human experience is like a tree with roots going into the depth of the Earth and the branches reaching for the sky.

I am in this moment and this too shall pass and I am here now. I breathe.

I envision my future moments as a daily practice and surrender to the now. After activations received with visualizations are or****ic artistic active medications.

This is activating message for humanity ✨ with blessings ✨

Happy New Lunar year of Water 🌀Rabbit 🐇 the spirit of the animal is taking its turn to guide us through this year’s journey.

Rabbit energy is about peaceful communication and harmony and connections with fellow humans.

This bouquet is from week 2, doesn’t it look amazing? Canadian women owned company. Giving them a shot out.

Do you follow lunar cycles and spirit animals for the year?

I grew up in Soviet Union with no major religions, yet horoscopes and lunar years were “allowed” as entertainment. My interest gravitated learning astrology and eastern philosophies.

Does astrology resonate with you?

My activator broke. The plastic handle.

I procrastinated on it for months avoiding calling the company to see if they can replace just the plastic handle.

We as humans like to suffer sometimes.

Sharing about my thoughts and world.

What’s happening in your world?

I love Callia Flowers] as some of the flowers last a month, I get to re arrange them through the days and weeks and it feels so pleasurable. It’s a reminder for me to play and it’s one of my highest values to play and enjoy abundance of nature.

We are human and we get messy at times.

We all have been in situations when others said the right thing and the wrong thing or we said the right thing or the wrong things.

We can learn and do better 💗

I find the advice on this list to be helpful.
It makes a big different how we speak to others when they hurt.

12/22/2022

Toronto has closures of school because of snow storm.

We are moving and elevating our frequency 💗✨

Happy Solstice and New Moon Energy ☀️🌙

Hold the vision you want wish and desire of the world around us.

Hope you all are raising your frequencies higher.

We are healing as a society 💗✨ we are becoming aware.

We are pausing to reflect and self discover vs point fingers at others and blame.

Laughter is an amazing healing technique and it’s a great work out for the body too and it feels good.

We are flooded with feel good endorphins when we laugh.

We release more endorphins laughing in groups rather than alone.

Gift yourself some laughter and laugh with abandon.

12/17/2022

So very true.

When the desire is born, right away you start counting yourselves a failure, because you’ve got this desire that hasn’t been satisfied. Know that you never get it done! And since you never get it done, it’s time to stop being unhappy about what’s undone, because most of it is undone! You are an eternal being. Most of it is undone. Instead of taking score about what’s been achieved — we want you to start feeling anticipation about what is still to arrive…

We as humans do strive for creative change that is sustainable for our home.

I think this is a great idea! Everyone loves honeybees, but don't forget about the solitary bees and other pollinators.

So good.

Addictive.

High on life and grateful to be alive.

Amazing respect for mind and body.

Healthy.

Daring.

This is how cold exposure makes me feel.

I give this practice: one of the best experiences of my life. And that’s why I call the Lake my Lover 😉 always there to caress my body as I step into it. The waves lick as they roll in and roll out. Yes the Lake Ontario has waves 🌊 like today with the full moon 🌕 the sound of waves is loud.

Activating your senses though words and senses and your imagination.

Full moon 🌕

King loving reminders

Be gentle

Slow down

Rest

I know paradoxical and reality is accelerated right now and we are in Gemini ♊️ full moon 🌕 which is two sides and 2 opposites at once experience.

Reminder that full moon 🌕 dates have records of data with more hospital visits, accidents, murders, violence, heightened emotions.

It is not to be un- easy about it, it is to be aware 👁️👁️‍🗨️🧿🪬

To discern to listen to tune in and act accordingly, the highest or deepest one might feel level of intuition ✨💗

I have led full moon circles and I find December one of the most potent ones drenched in sugary heightened excitement of certain parts of the planet with discerning awareness. As the branches reach higher in our frenzy, the roots grow deeper too.

I am aware now.

I witness Life now.

✨ wishing you discerning and gentle grace this full moon season ✨

Today on the radio Isabel local Toronto young woman at 17 years old was congratulated for receiving masters in Slavic languages. She was homeschooled and entered united at 12 years old along with her 14 year old sister.

The right medium is what matters.

Our brains are so capable and we are more capable that we have ever been led to believe.

From a LEGO brochure from 1974: "To Parents. The urge to create is equally strong in all children. Boys and girls. It’s the imagination that counts. Not skill. You build whatever comes into your head, the way you want it. A bed or a truck. A dolls house or a spaceship. A lot of boys like dolls houses. They’re more human than spaceships. A lot of girls prefer spaceships. They’re more exciting than dolls houses. The most important thing is to put the right material in their hands and let them create whatever appeals to them."

Daniel Fry discovered this brochure in boxes of LEGOs at his grandmother's house and posted it to Reddit. He told HuffPost that "I was surprised at what a modern message it was and how simply and eloquently it communicated a very powerful idea. I thought people would be interested to see that such a well-known brand like LEGO was so progressive 40 years ago.... I hope people will be reminded of how important it is not to lock their children in to playing with one type of toy, and to let them play how they want to, to nurture creativity and individuality."

While harder to find in stores today, free-form LEGO sets are still available. A great option that is the 790-piece Classic Brick Set available in a wide range of colors at https://amzn.to/3i1OrtN

For younger children, ages 18m to 3, there is also a 120-piece DUPLO Classic Creative Set at https://amzn.to/3EPMI2p

At A Mighty Girl, we believe strongly in giving all children the opportunity to build and create so we've showcased our favorite building toys -- which are all excellent choices for both girls and boys -- in our new blog post, "Building Her Dreams: 60 Building Toys for Mighty Girls" at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=10430

Are you ready for the holidays?

Everything glitters and so pretty.

Remember to take time to rest and be with Self too, I know we might be wanting to do all the things!

How to be in conflict and stay connected 💗☯️✨🌝

Jake, 32, grew up with in a home with parents who loved him deeply. His parents marriage involved a lot of fighting and they both stayed in it for the sake of their children.

Any time there was conflict, his father shut down. His mom would try to express how she felt and he’d mock her, tell her she was being a “drama queen,” and sometimes stonewalled her (pretended she wasn’t even there when she tried talking to him.) He would just focus his attention on the game letting her know he was paying no attention to what she was saying.

Jake witnessed this often: a disagreement would mean his dad may not speak to the entire family for hours, days, and if he was really upset enough: months.

Jakes been with his girlfriend Lena for 3 years. He struggles to understand his own emotions and of course, hers as well. He’s learned that when there’s conflict in relationships, you disconnect by ignoring the person’s presence. He’s terrified of being vulnerable and puts on a defensive act in an attempt to protect himself.

Lena’s told him that he needs to learn to open up and communicate with her. She talks to him about what it was like growing up in a home where his father shut down to the whole family on a regular basis.

“It must have been scary as a little kid to have someone you loved and needed ignore your presence.” He looks down. She grabs his hand and lets him know he carries this same pattern. Hearing it from her sends a rush of anger through his body. Something about being compared to his father is very triggering.

He knows it’s true.

So, he’s started learning about relationship communication. How to actively listen. How to stop being so shut down or defensive. And, how to ask Lena questions to better understand how she feels.

Lena notices the change. He still struggles, but he’s trying. They both are. She thanks him and let’s him know she appreciates the effort.

Josh is slowly evolving: learning that conflict and connection can exist at the same time
