Diversity

Its been a exciting time for me lately. I love to feel my connection to our global community. I love the fact that the school I am getting my certification for Life Coaching is an international school and at any given moment I can be on the line with people from Australia to China to England and so on. I have recently picked up a coaching client who is in Australia. This is so awesome! I love it. Here I am coaching someone half way across the globe. This is what its all about, us as a human race, us as a global community helping each other, motivating each other to be the best we can be for ourselves. I encourage everyone to go beyond their boundaries and connect with your fellow human no matter where or who they are.

Peace and Love to all

Self Awareness

Here is a suggestion for everyone out there. This week take time and do a metal inventory of your thoughts. With each prominent thought, ask yourself. Does this serve me? Does this serve my purpose for the greater good? Does this help me move forward in life or does it inhibit me from moving forward? When we can bring self awareness to our thoughts as a daily practice. We will be amazed by how much clutter we can clean out. Have fun with this and don't beat yourself up if your thoughts are not always benefitting you. This is a great way to realize what will benefit you and how you can begin to change any underlying structures associated with those thoughts.

With Love,

Rachel

Having a base

A lot of people ask me why am going to school to get my professional certification in life coaching, when I basically have been coaching for many years. Well its the same reason I studied with spiritual teacher for 2 years and taken various workshops throughout the years. I like to create a base from where my work comes from. Once I have these basics down it allows me for more freedom in the work that I do. I will always be a student and continue to learn and grow not only within myself, but also in my practice.

Hello hello! Happy New Year! i'm back. Not sure where I went, but needless to say i'm back. The past 6 weeks or so have been and interesting trek into the depths of life. A series of events led me to a place of many emotions. At times I felt frustrated and at times I felt hopeful. At times I felt like I wanted to scream and at times I felt like I was on top of the world. Maybe, others are feeling the same in a sense. During this time I surrendered, I accepted was is. Simply I allowed my self to feel extremes. I allowed myself to "be" in it, no matter what it was. I could sit here and tell you how things are tough, but when I REALLY look, when I truly sit in stillness and look upon the abundance that is before me. When have things ever been really tough? I show gratitude and acceptance to every emotion, but I only let the good ones stay. 

Peace and Love (even if sometimes you dont feel like it, thats ok=) )

The Sage

I have been reading a little bit of the Tao Te Ching. Its an amazing prose written by Lao-tzu about 2500 years ago. Its one of those books where it takes you about a week to process each verse, because there is so much information to take in just one. One particular part of a verse that I would like to share, is one that I have began practicing and living by. It holds dear to my heart. 

"The sage can act without effort and teach without words"

When we are truly Being, we are being true examples for others. 

Namaste

Knowing yourself

This past weekend I went to the I Can Do It! conference presented by Hay House. I saw speakers such as Wayne Dyer, Sonia Chouquette, Gregg Braden, John Holland, Doreen Virtue and many more. This weekend taught me a lot. It gave me clarity when I thought I was already clear. One main point that everyone was talking about was releasing the ego, and connecting with your inner self again, reconnecting with the Knowing that you came into this world with. Finding your God self. This is in no way the religious sense, it's a spiritual sense of finding God. For God is not an external entity, but an energy that resides in all of us. We are all the creators and play an integral role in this universe, but first we must be aware of it and acknowledge the God within us. Namaste!

Helping others

What does it mean when we say we want to help somebody? How far can we really go? Does it mean that we have to be completely involved in people's lives and get stressed out when we see that they're not doing what completely serves them? The answer is no. If we really want to help somebody the best thing that we can do for them is to be an example. To show them that they can have a beautiful passionate balanced life. In essence, to really help someone is to really help ourselves. If we are able to create the beautiful life that we dream of, then that gives somebody the motivation to do so as well. I encourage everyone to be a positive example and allow yourself to live that beautiful life. Namaste.
