Stop letting your problems become your identity

How many people do you know who introduce themselves by talking about their struggles? 🤔  You only need to sit at a nail bar or coffee shop to hear people around you talking about all the things in their lives that are going wrong. Is this something you do too? Do you define yourself by your problems by saying things like “I’m an anxious person”, “I’m a people-pleaser“, “I’m terrible with money“, “I’ve always had shitty relationships“, “I’m just not…

What’s the assemblage point – and why should you care?

  If you’ve ever had an energy treatment with me, I’ve probably found your assemblage point out of alignment and adjusted it. 🙌🏻 Most people – including many energy practitioners, have never even heard of the assemblage point, but in my opinion it’s the most important part of your energy field. It’s the central point of your energy field, so I feel that even if you balance your chakras all you want, if this central point of your whole energy…

They totally changed the…

How to keep on top of your energy hygiene

  I’ve been practicing energy work and teaching Reiki for over 20 years now, and I see keeping on top of my energy hygiene as being as important as brushing my teeth and showering every day. 🚿 🪥  WHAT IS ENERGY HYGIENE? It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite. If I hadn’t kept on top of my…

Imagine your worst mistake was your forever identity…

  I once listened to an amazing Tim Ferris podcast where he interviewed Catherine Hoke, the “master of second chances.”   Catherine runs the not for profit Defy Ventures, which is an entrepreneurship, employment and character development program for currently and formerly incarcerated men, women and youth.   I spent 18 years working in Corrections and mental health with people with various labels, and I really resonated with Catherine’s commitment to wanting to make a difference to the planet by…
