Shari Covens - Soul Harmony Healing & Transformational Coaching

A beautiful truth by one of my favorite authors. 🥰

Thought for the day. 🥰

A good reminder from a favorite teacher.

The most important thing you can do for your health and for your ability to function most effectively in the world is to FEEL GOOD!

The key to eternal bliss: Be Here Now!💗💕🙏🏻

Negative thinking linked to dementia in later life, but you can learn to be more positive

Another reason to learn to not worry and to find the lesson and blessing in all.

cnn.com Repetitive negative thinking in later life was linked to cognitive decline and greater deposits of two harmful proteins responsible for Alzheimer's disease, a new study found. But you can fight back by training your brain to be more optimistic.

Big truth here. In my training in Spiritual Psychology, it was suggested that if you find yourself complaining about someone or accusing someone of bad behavior, try instead saying to yourself, "I am _________" (whatever it is you're complaining about) and see how that resonates. We often more readily see and unknowingly project onto others behaviors we don't like in ourselves. This process can be a good exercise in self-awareness, and a lesson in compassion--for oneself, and for the object of one's dismay.

Be like water. 🙏

No greater purpose than to love.💗

Always be grateful for what you have no matter how hard life gets

iheartintelligence.com Life can be difficult, but this doesn't mean we shouldn't appreciate it. No matter how hard it gets, always be grateful for what you have and who you are.

Here’s a great checklist for you during this challenging time.🙏🏻❤️

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his tiny horses urge people to stay home

See this and smile. Smiling is so good for you--it releases your feel good hormones, which boosts your immune system.

“There is so much fear, and perhaps rightfully so, about COVID-19.

And, what if...

If we subscribe to the philosophy that life is always working out for us, that there is an intelligence far greater than humans at work...

That all is interconnected.

What if...

the virus is here to help us?

To reset.
To remember.

What is truly important.

Reconnecting with family and community.

Reducing travel so that the environment, the skies, the air, our lungs all get a break.

Parts of China are seeing blue sky and clouds for the first time in forever with the factories being shut down.

Working from home rather than commuting to work (less pollution, more personal time).

Reconnecting with family as there is more time at home.

An invitation to turn inwards -- a deep meditation -- rather than the usual extroverted going out to self-soothe.

To reconnect with self -- what is really important to me?

A reset economically.

The working poor. The lack of healthcare access for over 30 million in the US. The need for paid sick leave.

How hard does one need to work to be able to live, to have a life outside of work?

And, washing our hands -- how did that become a "new" thing that we needed to remember. But, yes, we did.

The presence of Grace for all.

There is a shift underway in our society -- what if it is one that is favorable for us?

What if this virus is an ally in our evolution?

In our remembrance of what it means to be connected, humane, living a simpler life, to be less impactful/ more kind to our environment.

An offering from my heart this morning. Offered as another perspective. Another way of relating to this virus, this unfolding, this evolution.

It was time for a change, we all knew that.

And, change has arrived.

What if...”

Something to keep in mind...

Fibromyalgia is Linked to Childhood Stress and Unprocessed Negative Emotions

Unprocessed negative emotions are typically the root cause of virtually all physical "dis-ease." Trauma and stress--both inherited and otherwise--cause those repressed negative emotions, which if not processed in a healthy, loving way, can cause the continual release of stress hormones, which cause cell death, weaken the immune system, and eventually cause physical disease. Deeply acknowledging and releasing painful emotions--grief, anger, sadness, resentment, etc.--is essential for healing. You can learn how to process your emotions on your own--though it's ideal to have a caring friend or counselor who can listen without judgment--and/or get help from a healer. Wishing you peace and healing in the New Year and always. 🙏❤️

healthy-holistic-living.com There’s nothing worse than having to suffer from physical pain that gets further amplified by emotional stress. More specifically, a study done in 2010 reported that repressing negative emotions like anger increases chronic pain for people who suffer from fibromyalgia. If this is the first time yo...

Do THIS for more Holiday Bliss—Tip #2

The time is drawing nigh! Here's TIP #2 from my "Be Bliss" blog to help you warm your heart so you can keep your cool during the holidays, and beyond. It's a quick 2 minute read. Enjoy! https://wp.me/p6xixK-6q

sharicovensblog.wordpress.com Reading time: 2 minutes. Hello again! Following is Tip #2 to help you warm your heart so you can keep your cool this holiday season, and all year long. I hope you find it useful! For holiday bliss:…

Thanks to everyone for all the love for my Grace Face Serum! I still have a few bottles left from my holiday batch. If you’d like to treat your skin to the most luscious, nourishing, healing, and anti-aging blend of natural and organic oils— including the super luxurious Bulgarian rose absolute—that will give your face a soft, smooth, luminous glow, and that has a light natural scent, visit my online store for details and ingredients, and to order, at https://bit.ly/2LPCKn6. You can come pick up a bottle, or have it shipped. I started making this serum for myself 10 years ago when I realized the expensive face cream I was using really wasn’t feeding my skin. So I researched and made my own natural oils formula for myself and gave it as gifts to friends. My recipients soon started asking to buy it for themselves and as gifts for others. I’m finally now offering Grace Face, Neck & Hand Serum (you should always put on your neck and hands the same thing you put on your face) to the public on a limited basis for a short time, and am offering special holiday pricing of $35 for 1 oz, $60 for 2oz. Come and get it before it’s gone!🌹❤️

Deadline is midnight tonight (Sunday, Dec 15) to register at https://bit.ly/2PeND2Q for the Manifesting Your Dreams Workshop this Tuesday evening, Dec 17. Thank you to the amazing Natalie Westbrook and Markowicz Fine Art Gallery for providing the beautiful venue. I hope to see you there!

Powerful wisdom and inspiration in this classic, famous poem. And not just for men and sons--but for women and daughters, too!

IF
By Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Thanksgiving is a good reminder of one of the most effective ways to raise your vibration: express genuine gratitude for your blessings. Wishing you much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving!

Trauma Is Not Your Fault, But Healing Is Your Responsibility

“Healing is our responsibility because “healing” is actually not returning to how and who we were before, it is becoming someone we have never been — someone stronger, someone wiser, someone kinder.”

Fortunately, everyone has the opportunity to heal and experience wholeness. It’s my joy to facilitate healing with the Soul Harmony Healing process. If you’re ready to transform your pain to peace and bliss, please contact me to learn how I can help. [email protected] Thank you. Wishing you many blessings.🙏🏻💗

thoughtcatalog.com Healing is our responsibility because we have this one life, this single shot to do something important.

What is Success? ❤️

To laugh often and much;

To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children;

To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;

To appreciate beauty;

To find the best in others;

To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch
or a redeemed social condition;

To know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived;

This is to have succeeded.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Great wisdom here. ❤️

"Everything changes when you begin to love yourself. You no longer send out energy of desperation or need to be filled from the outside. You become a powerful source within yourself that attracts better. The more you love who you are the less you seek validation and approval."
