When we're born, we are delivered into this amazing world brimming with incredible light. As time goes by, our nice clean exteriors and interiors darken and dull due to the muck of disappointments, sadness, fears, betrayals, and more. Unfortunately, when this dark sticky stuff accumulates on our field, it tends to magnetize more of the same. The interesting part is, the muck was never yours to begin with. These energies never belonged to you. Rather, they come from learned patterns, programs, and belief systems that you picked up along the way. When you decide to optimize your energy and let them go, your heart blooms wide, and new worlds of opportunities you could never have imagined, open up for you. Life shifts in profound ways because your heart is in the drivers seat now - not your head/ego. When you create with your head (logic), life is a constant race to perform. Have more. Compare. Win. Be right. It's an endless battle for power. The over others kind. And it can be exhausting. What are the benefits of energy optimization/release work? With energy work, you let go of the battle with your ego. It's not about fixing anything or anyone. There's nothing to fix in you. Rather, it's about creating more joy, harmony, and health in your life by letting go of the energy distortions that limit you. As you do this, your heart steps forward to lead with its magic. Life's a lot more fun when you're in the flow. And you don't have to swim upstream -- because everything comes to you! Through your open heart - which is an incredible magnet. Here are seven benefits I've personally gained from release work. And you can, too. Shift to a higher frequency that powers your ability to create. When old beliefs, negative patterns, judgements, expectations, and fears are released, you see, live in, and observe the world from a much higher frequency with more power and perspective. As a result, you're better able to magnetize what you want to experience. With fewer blocks in your energy system, sensuality increases awakening you to even more beauty and wonder through what you hear, touch, taste, scent, and see. See energies at play so you can circumvent drama. When you innerstand energy, you can see where it comes from, specifically, what's yours and what's not yours. You detach and respond to situations instead of reacting to them because you can "see" the hidden energies at play. And you know how to work with them. You don't easily give your power away. With your heart leading, you get to experience the wonderment of it all -- as you watch life unfold around you. Release limitations and fears that hold you back. Once you identify and remove what holds you back, you realize how really limitless you are! You see choices right in front of you that you didn't see before. You're also better able to attract the experiences you truly want in your life through your heart energy. Because of this, life moves forward in new and exciting ways for you and those you love. Mental, physical health, and wellness improve. When you release distortions (negative patterns, programs, spells, and curses), you no longer experience the same kinds of burdens, setbacks, and illnesses that would have existed had you not removed them. As a result, you experience greater freedom, peace, and wholeness in your everyday world. Life is so much more fun! When we let go of what's not ours, the fun returns. Every day is an awesome adventure. Life has fewer curve balls. You live in the present, no longer running from the past, or chasing the future. And because you exude the sheer joy of just being, your light invites connection, and your heart expands outward sharing joy with those you meet. Hope, wishes, and dreams are realized. Instead of pushing the river upstream to make things happen, your heart leads the way. With fewer blocks in your energy system, what you want flows more easily and quickly to you. And thankfully, because your heart doesn't reside in a box with significant limitations and restrictions, what you receive is way better than the ego mind could have ever conceived. Best of all... You become...you. You know who you are, what you want, what inspires you, and what you treasure. You're no longer caught up in what you "should" do, say, feel, act, and look like, so you can finally embrace and love ALL of you, and well, be you! And boy does this feel good! On top of that, your inner gifts unfold effortlessly, and your senses heighten significantly giving you new ways to experience the world at its best. Overall health also improves because mental, emotional, and physical blocks are released. And the deep acceptance and love you feel for yourself and others is a divine gift that spirals out from your energy field, embracing, connecting, welcoming, and warming the hearts of everyone you meet. ------ Interested in learning more about energy optimization work?

Sounds like a song, doesn’t it? Interestingly, it’s one of the most important lessons I’ve experienced recently. Turns out that many of us, including me, have given pieces of our heart away to those we love or have loved. Not surprisingly, those we love/loved have also given pieces of their hearts in return. But there's a difference between sharing freely from one's whole heart, where giving comes from a place of love, adoration, and respect versus giving pieces of our hearts away. When we give pieces or our heart away, we lose an intrinsic part of ourselves that was created over lifetimes of experiences and learnings. With a key piece of the energetic heart missing, our energy system shifts to accommodate, and doing so can change what we remember, how we manifest what we desire, and how we love. Meanwhile, the loved one we gave our heart to gains access to that special part that only we can decode as this missing piece holds our feelings, experiences, joys, and even traumas that are uniquely part of our life experience. Hence, giving our hearts away is not an ideal situation. Sharing deeply from the heart is. To be frank, I thought giving our heart away was just a phrase we use, metaphorically speaking. But in reality, everything we say, think, and do is an act of creation. If you say you'll give your heart away, or pieces of it to someone you love, your heart essence literally responds to your command in kind. Giving our hearts away is so common, there are dozens of hit songs that speak to this very issue. You’re probably thinking of one or two now as you read this. One popular song that comes to mind is Janis Joplin's: Piece of My Heart. You may recall the lyrics: "Take another piece of my heart now, baby." Who would have imagined that giving our hearts away metaphorically would create such interesting energy dynamics for the giver and the receiver? This is one of the situations where truth appears stranger than fiction. Whole heartedness is key In the world of energy, when you give pieces of your heart away, you deprive yourself of a whole heart from which to love from and be loved by, and to manifest your heart's desires. You see, every cell in your physical and spiritual heart (your heart essence) carries love frequencies, symbols, and codes that reflect your deepest hopes, wishes, dreams, and desires as well as the wherewithal to create them. Equally important, your heart essence also carries memories of every life experience you have ever had, as well as the wisdom and intelligence gleaned to support your well-being. When you give your heart away or pieces of it, you leave a hole in your energy field. When this happens, negative energies can take up residence, creating blocks that limit choice until they are released. Additionally, if you've taken or have a piece of someone's heart with you, there's a good chance you've hindered your own ability to manifest what you want in life. If someone is deceased or the relationship ended poorly, generally speaking the frequencies are out of kilter and could create a block, limiting what gets in and out. It feels like putting a band-aid over skin that has no wound. Moreover, with lower frequencies residing in your field, you could draw experiences to you that you don't want -- experiences that occurred due to their life story -- simply because you possess their energy. That's why it's always best to release what's not yours. I recently realized I had pieces of my parents' hearts and returned them. They've been gone for quite some time now. When I returned the energies, a deep, heavy sadness lifted from my heart that wasn't mine. Immediately, I was able to breathe easier, and I could feel my heart lighten. It was quite surprising, even for me. I literally could see and feel the energy lift from my heart as I sent it back to them. Shortly thereafter, I heard "Thank you." I also apologized for holding on to it as everyone needs a whole heart. Wherever they may be. Fascinating world of soul / aspect retrieval It's also important to note here that another good reason for not giving one's heart away or pieces of it is because everyone jettisons parts and pieces of themselves that result from unsavory experiences, rejection, hurt, shame, and loss. This means there are lot of your "aspects" floating around in the ethers. Aspects are key pieces of yourself that you have disowned for one reason or another: overload, overwhelmed, misunderstandings, hate, anger, and on. To bring you back into wholeness, I conduct soul retrieval. This means I call back your aspects, clean them up so they match your frequency, and reintegrate them. This way they fill the empty spaces that were created when you cast them off. And with higher vibrations guiding your field, you can magnetize new opportunities and experiences to you. With soul retrieval work, you become more whole and complete: you may see new spiritual gifts unfold; emotions that were once frozen may come back online; feelings and memories may fill your heart once again that you can recall; and wisdom culled from past experiences is accessible once again. In some cases, you can even resolve issues that were once perplexing because energy that was missing (emotions, experiences, etc.) is available now. I've actually had this experience when I've tried to clear something on myself. With soul retrieval I was able to complete the clearing. I've found that those who have never done energy optimization work often have the greatest number of aspects to call back. For instance, for a handful of folks I've integrated over 1,000 aspects per person. For the first time, perhaps ever, they are more of their full self than ever before. How to release what's not yours Again, it's wonderful to share from the depths of your heart the love you have for yourself, your beloved, and loved ones in your life. Just don't give your heart away. Or pieces of it. You want your energy to be yours. Whole and complete. And your loved one's energy to be theirs, whole and complete. To release heart energy that's not yours, I've outlined several simple steps below. I'd love to hear about your experiences with this exercise. If you have a minute once you complete it, feel free to share your insights in the comment section. a) Find a comfy chair. Sit back and breathe deeply. Exhale several times. Place your hand on your heart and say Center. Then Detach. b) To release all heart pieces that belong to someone else Say: I release all heart pieces that belong to X (name a person). Do this for each person who gave you their heart. Think of people you may have married, divorced, dated, worked with, who are family, e.g. your mother, father, grandparents, etc. Let the names come to you. Your heart essence will help with this. At close for each person say: Detach. c) To reclaim heart pieces that belong to you Say: I want to reclaim and reintegrate all of the heart pieces I gave away. Clear all and return them to me at the highest frequency. Now. Make it so! It is so! Watch, feel, listen for the command to be completed. You will notice a difference in your energy either immediately or over time. d) To close, say: Detach all. Then say: Center. Clear, balance, align, harmonize, integrate, recalibrate, attune, attenuate all of me now. Set coherence. That's it. You're done! Thanks for reading this! Interested in energy optimization work? I'd love to chat. Or you can book a session, tune-up or workshop directly on my website. Thanks for reading! Have a wonderful day. ###

There's no doubt. Energy optimization work is powerful stuff. Not only is it highly effective at releasing negative thought patterns -- it's also efficient at optimizing experiences for the best possible outcomes. In this case study, we're going to explore client challenges around safety, security, and rejection, and how energy optimization work helped them release unconscious wounds that held them back. But first, let me give you a bit of background on energy work. Another alternative to try Some people are skeptical about the benefits of energy optimization work -- mostly because they haven't tried it. But in many instances, energy work can be faster and more effective than other forms of therapy that can take years to move the needle on issues. I know. I've tried both. And my preferred is energy work. For many reasons: Cost, time, and results. And I get to be in the driver's seat. When I first started working with an intuitive about 30 years ago, I had no idea what to expect, but a friend suggested someone they were working with. My friend was moving through a divorce, and I was too, so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I was pleasantly surprised. Evolving world of energy Since then, the entire spectrum of energy work has evolved, and today we can do so much more than the intuitive I frequented years ago. For example, energy veils separating the other side that were once closed have opened, and now more people than ever can see spirit energy in action. Because many providers now train in certain modalities, they often open up shop shortly after graduation, but they lack the depth and expertise that comes from doing one's own inner work. Their training seems to focus on the quick fix, too, with attention solely on the story level. They don't go below the surface level to the core wounding. But my techniques do. And you'll learn how here. While many techniques provide benefit, not every energy wellness facilitator has the expertise and depth to work on your energy field. That said, you should always be mindful of who you choose to work with and provide access to your energy system. Safety and Security 101 For this particular client, there were two overarching goals: First, examine what's driving safety and security issues. Second: identify rejection issues impacting their life. The goal was to optimize what was already working, and where possible, to help the client feel safe, secure, and more trusting of the goodness in their life. The Process Step 1 To kick off, we began by exploring the stories behind their challenges with safety, security, and rejection. Their observations helped. They noticed subtle clues that signaled something else was at work behind the scenes: Always keeping their wallet in sight, even with friends. At nighttime, bed covers were placed high, even in the summertime, so as not to be seen. Hypervigilance of their surroundings, whether at home, work, and places in-between. The desire for a dog at home. As we dove underneath these experiences, we uncovered a trauma in the form of a peeping tom. As a child they were a light sleeper. Because of this, they saw and heard the peeping tom attempting to secure entry into their residence countless times throughout the years. When they asked their parents for help, they were rebuffed. Members of the family in the same room hadn't witnessed anything askew, so the parents dismissed the child's concerns. Unfortunately, at a tender age, this child witnessed these events continuously each season for five years because the peeping tom was regulary in the neighborhood. Eventually, a burglary occurred at their home and the police attributed it him. With third-party verification in hand, the parents decided to sell their home and move to protect their children. However, as the young child grew into adulthood, the distortions and imprints from the experiences stayed in their field. Not only did they feel unsafe at times in their own home but out and about too (unconsciously and sometimes consciously). They also lived with the rejection of no one believing them, which made them feel unimportant, not heard, and disappointed. When energy imprints are created from events, they can leak into other areas of life as energy overlaps, so this experience impacted a number of areas. Note: This also happens with spells and curses. Placed on one individual, they can leak over onto another causing havoc for each person. To release the fears and trauma that underpinned these situations, their field was scanned and cleared of the energic imprints and distortions that resulted. Not only did this strengthen the overall energy system, it made space for new experiences to present and unfold. During this process, a second trauma was identified that harkened back to ancient times in a faraway land. The scenes were quite vivid, and they remained within the field. This too was removed and likely served as the original wound that created the negative pattern around safety, security, and rejection in this life. Step 2 Next, the field was cleared of curses and other distortions. It's important to note here that the parent's denial of an incident over and over had the potential to shift from an energic response to a curse placed in the child's field. Fortunately, it did not. Hence, it's always important to be mindful of the language you use daily with the people you care about. Step 3 Once the field was ready, variables (goals/desires) were defined and introduced into their field to manifest new experiences that supported their quest for security, safety and emotional support. Upon completion, the field was balanced, aligned, and attuned to the highest frequencies to support the desired outcomes. The Power of Deep Clearing To get to the heart of a life issue, I help my clients clear their energy at the deepest levels possible. To do this, we go "snorkeling" way below the surface to identify the origin of an issue. This is one of many ways my services are highly differentiated. Because I've done thousands of hours of inner work on myself, and years of work on family, friends, and clients, I know from experience how to get to and remove the original wounding to obtain the results my clients want to achieve. Most importantly, I've learned that people consciously and unconsciously read the energies we carry. They intuitively know the language of energy, which is comprised of belief systems, experiences, patterns, programs, curses, traumas, and so much more. How someone responds to you is governed by the quality of the energy inherent in your energy system. However, once these distortions and blocks are removed (traumas, repeating negative patterns, etc.), my clients' lives can shift in profound ways -- often with just one session -- because the energies that created the negative outcomes are no longer present. The Outcomes By session close, the client felt more peaceful. Days later, they noted that they felt more in the flow of life and the need to be hypervigilant subsided. They also felt for the first time that everything in their life was going to be alright. Is there something you want to optimize or a challenge to address?

Think intuitive wellness coaching (energy optimization work) is just for everyday personal use? Yes, it's very effective at helping everyone move through change as it can address a broad range of life challenges. However, it's also highly effective at accelerating positive change in the workplace. As a former employee in highly matrixed, global organizations, I understand the value of having positive relationships with my manager, teammates, and cross-functional teams. That's why I enjoy helping employees, at all levels of an organization, identify and release the energy distortions they bring to work each day. With energy release work, they can navigate their careers with less stress while they optimize their work experience and the relationships they have with their team, manager, and business. Not belonging is an energy distortion I recently worked with a client who had challenges with the new team they joined. The job started off well, and so did the relationships, but then something changed. As a newbie, this individual began to feel unwelcome. After a few months they pulled back from speaking up and engaging with team members. My client began to wonder if the company was a good fit, and they considered looking for another job. To help my client resolve this situation, we explored the story they were experiencing, homing in on key words and feelings, blind spots, fears, and negative energy patterns that were showing up in their current job, past employment, and life. We also explored personality conflicts and communication challenges. During this time, I looked for energy "hits" and "hot spots" that signaled a "distortion" in their field. Distortions occur when a stressful, unfortunate and/or traumatic situation befalls someone and an energetic "imprint" is created in the field. If these imprints (signified by a # sign, symbols and/or pictures) are not cleared, they magnetize similar situations over and over again. In addition to not belonging, I identified several energy patterns running in my client's field, including competitions and personality conflicts. They had experienced similar situations in prior roles, and the patterns were repeating in their current position, so we removed them from the energy field. During this process, a childhood memory revealed itself and we were able to trace the majority of these issues to something that occurred way back then. Once this was addressed, we also removed the elements underpinning that experience. To fill the empty space created within their field, I asked my client to define key outcomes they wanted to achieve in this role. Once integrated, their field was reorganized, balanced, and attuned to higher frequencies to support these requests. Upon leaving, my client told me they felt more at peace. A week or so later they let me know work was going well, and they were enjoying their job more. Relationship issues dropped away and people were reacting differently to them, which they appreciated. They also shared that because they were less stressed, they were enjoying life more, too. How can you recognize negative energy patterns? When the story, characters, and plot change, but the end result is always the same. In other words, same ending, different story. Clients are often surprised that many energy issues arise from childhood experiences. But young children typically do not have strong communication skills. Since they are focused on making sense of the world, they may not understand or even be able to articulate feelings that arise from situations they experience. Events like being left out of a game (feelings of not belonging, not fitting in) may happen once, but the event could be quite traumatic to a young child. These types of situations often reveal themselves later in life as they repeat and rewound through what appear to be unconnected stories, until the origin is identified and cleared. Imagine a teammate who once competed with you -- no longer feels compelled to out-do you? With energy work, you can shift the focus from competition to collaboration. Energy work benefits all areas of your life When you clear energy distortions that block your path, you open yourself up to new experiences that support you in the workplace and at home. Unlike medicine that only targets a specific illness, once energy distortions are cleared from your field, both your work and home life benefit. This happens because your energy field is larger than your body, and it extends (on average) 10-20 feet outside of you. It goes everywhere you go. When you release discordant energies and move up in vibration, your energy field is realigned to a new, higher frequency, and you reap the benefits of this shift in everyday life. Potential workplace scenarios you could address Whether you're an executive, leader, individual contributor, or a team member, here are a few ideas on how energy optimization work can help you foster positive change in your workplace experiences. Senior leaders and individual team member benefits New hire jitters: Employee fears are identified and released so new hires can get up to speed faster. Employee going through change: Work/life challenges (loss, job changes, etc.) and the fears that underpin them, are identified and cleared to minimize stress and support workplace productivity. Layoff discussions: Senior and team leaders release their own guilt and fears around layoff discussions, enabling employee conversations to come from a place of compassion and humanity. Team benefits Team communication and collaboration: Challenges are identified and energy distortions and negative patterns are released to strengthen communication, collaboration, and agility. New Team Creation: Discordant energies (power plays, miscommunication issues) that can hold a team back are identified and cleared to streamline productivity, communication, and collaboration. Organizational Layoffs: Employee fears are identified and the distortions that enable them are released. With clearer heads and hearts, employees can better manage change and evaluate next steps in their careers. Interested in benefitting from intuitive wellness coaching and energy optimization work?

If you're like me, you probably know of some people who would rather hold on to old hurts and suffer in silence, then let go of a betrayal, hurt, or disappointment. But holding on to toxic energies creates issues in the body. For example, wounds "old and new" create blockages in your energy and physical field by decreasing flow in each. Once this happens, your emotional growth is stunted and your physical wellness may also be negatively impacted. People who choose to hold onto grudges from a wronged heart can also have serious heart and circulatory issues. When a wound festers on the physical, it also stagnates energy in the subtle bodies, impacting organs, meridians, systems, and more. Fortunately, we can choose to let go of old hurts, and heal our wounds, because healing is always a choice. Releasing the past has many benefits. Here are four to consider: Your heart heals. Removing blockages from the heart, (heartbreak, betrayal, resentment, disappointment and more) improves the flow of energy throughout your body. When this happens, your organs and circulatory system receive the energy nourishment they need to support your health and well-being. You can now receive gifts from your heart. When you're so focused on the past, you miss what's right in front of you. Moreover, it's hard to see and receive your heart's magic when the past is blocking these gifts in the present. When you let go of the past, what was blocked in your heart can now be revealed. Most importantly, these gifts have been here all this time--just waiting for your heart to be open and ready to receive them. Your internal power increases. Holding onto old trauma and abuse frankly hurts you more than it does the aggressor, as your energy field has a "wound" that's not allowed to heal. In addition, wounds create stagnation, and they also leak energy. When energy leaks, your power and ability to create are greatly diminished. Increased clarity and peace. When you are free of "old tapes, patterns, and programs" you're no longer held back or down in life. Remember: What you focus on is what you create. So, the question becomes: Do you want to focus on creating illness by holding onto old grudges that hurt you, or do you want to move forward and create the life you want with your loved ones? How do you release the past? Here are four simple steps. Forgive and pardon the people who have wronged you. Name them. Write them down on paper. To start: PLACE YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEART, BREATHE THREE TIMES, and say CENTER. Then say: I FORGIVE AND PARDON (NAME). Next say: DETACH. Then move on to the next one. Check them off as you go through your list. Notice how you feel afterwards. For some, it feels like a 20 lb. sack of potatoes have been lifted off them. DETACH from as many incidents as possible. Write them down, check them off as you detach from them. Start by PLACING YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEART, say CENTER, then DETACH INCIDENT (NAME). This moves you out of the "story" of what happened and literally gets you deep under the layers of resentment, shame, and disappointment to the operational level so you can remove them. Once the energy is released, PLACE YOUR HAND ON YOUR HEART and say: ALIGN. Release the fears and energetic patterns that contributed to these situations. To come up to speed quickly on this, I host a monthly pattern release workshop on how to Release Your Fears. With support and guidance, you can quickly learn how to release unwanted energy from your life. The results are quite powerful. My next workshop is September 21. The class is limited to five, so if interested, check out my services page and sign up. Release the curses, hexes, and spells that hold these old tapes, patterns, and programs in place. Because words cast spells, it's important to be cognizant of the words you use when you speak. Since each word carries a specific vibrational frequency, when you speak to or of another, your words add this specific frequency to their field or yours. They could support or detract from the energy, depending upon the terms used. It's also important to be conscious of what you agree to. Yes! means you consented to a concept, idea, or belief that remains in your field until you clear it. No! withdraws consent until you consent. To strengthen your release work, I offer 1-hour and 1/2-hour remote sessions. Curses, hexes, and spells are also addressed in the Release Your Fears pattern release workshop.

At some point during life, each of us will blindly consent to a thought, feeling, word, idea, action, emotion, or even a story, without innerstanding what we are consenting to. It's happens. It's a part of life. Part of growing and learning. And it's through trial and error we learn that choices have consequences. For example, you may have given up the power of "no" for the sake of moving on, to make peace. Trickery may have been employed to confuse and obfuscate, and you may not have realized what transpired until the consequences revealed themselves. (When we innerstand something, we know it in your heart; when we understand something, we rationalize with the ego/mind). What does a power give-away look like? Some real-life examples follow below: Not being yourself because you will be judged, punished, different, rejected, etc. Comparing and thinking someone else is "better" because they appear to have more money, success, education, intelligence, attractive qualities, are younger, older, etc. Choosing to stay silent and not speak up for fear of losing a relationship Living and acting a certain way to meet others expectations of you Looking outward for love, validation, approval, self-worth and more Letting your employer take advantage because you need the job and the money Treating each connection as a transaction that's focused on "taking/getting" vs reciprocity Staying in a relationship because you are fearful you won't find another partner or friend Blaming others for the things you have done Apologizing and taking the blame for things you did not do Feeling undeserving after a job loss or layoff - feeling you could have done better Taking on the role of the "bad one" so another can be the "good one" Making yourself small to fit in or be liked Saying yes when you want to say no, but you'd rather give in than deal with the drama Letting people deceive you or take advantage of your time, talents, kindness, and money Not wanting to see what's real versus illusion; preferring to keep the blinders on Feeling stuck but choosing not to make a decision that moves you forward Denying someone hurt you because you don't want to see the choices you need to make Unfortunately, when you give power away, what you consent to shows up as a power loss in your energy field. Over time, if this happens enough, your authority (internal power) is whittled away. And if one is consenting to abuse or hurtful actions, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, rips, tears, holes, and gaps can result in the energy field. When this occurs, the energy field leaks, internal power is diminished, and the individual can attract similar situations into their life until different choices are made. Why is this important to address? Internal power is foundational to your ability to create and to magnetize what you desire in your life. It exemplifies your own unique levels of autonomy, balance, self-love, and abundance. When your internal power is low, your abilities to create and attract what you desire are reduced greatly. And your health and vitality can also decline as your energy field doesn't receive the nourishment it needs to thrive and shine. Most of the time when people give their power away, it’s in exchange for something they believe is lacking – love, money, health, job, success, etc. But the reasons behind the loss are based in FEAR. Some consciously, others unconsciously, due to conditioning, belief systems, judgements, mass media influences, and more. Power losses can also be due to curses and spells placed upon an individual. Fortunately, power give-aways can be reversed. Here are six ways you can "power up" your life: Stop giving power away to negative thoughts, feelings, fears, people, actions, and situations. Say No, I Do Not Consent to this thought/feeling, etc. then sweep your hand from left to right (like a wiperblade) to clear your energy field. Next, say Detach to remove your energy and then Disconnect from the situation/person. Be thoughtful about the choices you make. Don't make hasty agreements. Consider the options and consequences before you say Yes or No. Power give-aways can happen with either option. Be clear about what you Do and Do Not Want in your life. Words are powerful stuff. The moment you say a word aloud, creation starts fulfilling your request. As a result, words can be used as spells, hexes, and curses. Choose your words wisely. Avoid curse words. Spells and curses are real. With millions using these words daily, each word holds the power to create curses and spells every time you speak them aloud, wish, or think them. Do not hold or consent to doubts. Doubts are half-hearted attempts at creation. They weaken the power behind your request. If you have a doubt, say aloud: No, I do not consent to this doubt. Delete. Release all cording. Some people consciously and unconsciously "cord" individuals around them to take their power and control them. These cords are seen only on the etheric level, but they can wreak havoc on the physical body by restricting organ flow and chi that runs throughout the body. Don't cut the cords you see and/or feel. They need to be removed completely. To do this, visualize/imagine silver-violet light around them, and ask your heart-essence to release and transmute them. If they are invasive, and too hard to remove, set up a tune-up or session time with me. Engage in pattern identification and release work. In my sessions and workshops, I work with clients to identify and release negative energy patterns at an incredibly deep level of their being. Then, we realign and rebalance their field to higher frequencies to welcome in new potentials and possibilities. If you are interested in powering up through quarterly tune-ups, check out the services on my website. In all situations, detach from every person, place, and thing. This keeps your energy and sovereignty intact when you make decisions, so you aren't influenced by unwanted energies. Equally as important, it enables you to observe situations from a third person point of view, so you can assess and respond (rather than react) with clear eyes and a ready heart. Don't forget to add your contact info to the website to get the latest blogs. There's a boatload available to shore up your energy knowledge on how to live your best life. Grab a coffee or tea and sit down by the fireplace for half an hour. You'll be glad you did. Questions, comments? Email me at lori@inspiredcommunicationllc.com. ###

I wanted to share some insights and musings I've had on my journey that can help you create a more healthy and joyful life--starting today. Below are six that seem important to share for these new times and new days. You are not what you have experienced. Experiences are opportunities to grow, expand, strengthen our ability to open the heart to love and be loved, forgive and let go, and foster giving and receiving. Your experiences are not reflective of who you are, your potential, or your beingness. They are energy checkpoints designed to return your focus to the unseen world so you can reawaken, shift to higher frequencies, and bloom into who you truly are. Most experiences are about opening the heart further, breaking the frozen ice blocks of emotions and traumas that surround the heart. Once we start to clear our physical vessels of the lower vibrations and energy distortions that place limitations and restrictions on who you are, what you are, and what you can create in this life, you live in the flow with greater ease and grace. Things simply come to you - people, opportunities, love, and so much more. The discordant energies you clear are there to sap your strength and steal your power. When you remember and reawaken to the wisdom and magic of the unseen energy world that creates the life you currently have, your "spiritual" abilities return, life takes on new meaning, and joy and health return. Equally as important, you also reclaim your birthright and the knowledge needed to reimagine and create the life you want. From my perspective, most experiences are derived from a combination of factors: levels of self-love; "karmic" issues (old patterns/programs, etc.) that are relived so you can recognize and clear them from the energy field; hexes, spells, and curses that mislead and corrupt actions/thoughts/behaviors/experiences; learnings we have chosen to undertake to raise our frequency, and the magnetic quality of your heart to create the life you desire. When your heart breaks and shatters, it breaks open wider and deeper to allow more love in (receiving) and out (giving). Doing so, elevates each of us to a much higher frequency and vibration. In the higher frequencies, you're better able to magnetize your hearts desires because your heart is open and energy obstructions are removed. While these experiences are never fun, it's important to note that each person in the scenario above has their own life journey to navigate. Sometimes the journeys come together, other times they run separate. Many times, journeys are both separate and together -- as each person has their own soul's growth to achieve independently, and together with another. Regardless, once you cross the chasm of heartbreak, the promise of a new and deeper love for self, and others awaits you just on the other side. With a stronger magnetic pull in the heart, life is filled with beautiful synchronicities and the most pleasant surprises. A crisis is an occasion to make a different choice to bring about a different outcome than the one you are currently experiencing. Free will is powerful stuff. When you make a different choice, you not only break a pattern and program in progress, you also increase your light and frequency, and strengthen your ability to create and magnetize a different life. Once you cross the crisis chasm, everything in your life shifts because what once was is no longer. Since you changed your energy, your life changes, too. The point is not to stay in a crisis, but to make a choice, release the pain and source, then move through the energy to get to the other side. While it can be hard to take that first step, not making a choice is a choice in and of itself. However, once you step onto a new path, each step increases your power and ability to bring more joy, peace and abundance into your life. And, when you choose light over darkness, your heart-essence will move heaven and earth to fulfill your desires in the most profound and beautiful ways. Just because a situation didn't occur the way you want it to, doesn't mean it's a bad thing and it's time to throw in the towel. When we have experiences that run counter to our wants and wishes, it's important to innerstand they are there to help us see what's operating in our energy field. If we DON'T like it, we can DELETE the energy and refine our ask so that we have what we truly desire. Here's an example: wanting a relationship but only married and unavailable candidates show up. To reframe this, you delete the energy and replace it with open hearted single candidates ready for committed relationships. Often, we can't tell what's operating in our field until we experience it first. When we "see" the pattern and/or program operating, we can address it. These experiences are gifts in disguise because they also return the power to choose back to us. Where it belongs. When we release what we don't want in our field, we can REPLACE these energies with what we DO want. Now, how awesome is that? Then you just need to be ready to receive your wants with an open heart and zero expectations. Do we get everything we ask for? With energetic tune-ups and/or sessions, and workshops we can get your energy primed to magnetize what you want. Just know your heart and essence will always provide you with something equal to or better than what you have asked for. (Visit the Be Thankful for Unanswered Prayers blog for more insight on this.) Expectations are destined to create disappointment. That's their job, so best to hold no expectations. When we do, we are not open to what is right in front of us. In fact, expectations block what IS coming to you or already here because you can't see it, as you already have an idea for something else in mind. And if what you get does not meet your requirements, disappointment follows. So let go of all expectations. Let what's here reveal itself and you'll be pleasantly surprised with the results. When we let other people define who we are, what we think and believe, we disempower ourselves by giving our power away. When this happens, we lose our ability to be guided by our heart-essence, which is in alignment with our soul purpose and journey. Our internal compass is the one we should always turn to; it strengthens our intuition and trust in our choices and keeps us on the best path possible. Yet, so many give their power to others in return for validation, love, and approval. When we do this to belong, be loved, wanted, beautiful, handsome, wealthy, and more, we move down in frequency and open ourselves up to being compromised by dark spirits, and corrupted information that fosters all kinds of negative situations and issues. When we own our decisions and choices, we empower our intuition and spirit to become one with us, as we step fully into our power. When tough times call and the winds blow, you'll bend with resiliency rather than break with fear in the most difficult situations. Thank you for reading! Feel free to share. Questions?

I'm often asked: "What is energy work, and what does it do? How can it support me in my everyday life?" My sessions and workshops are designed to optimize your health by releasing old energy patterns, programs, imprints and the distortions they create. Best of all, release work can address a wide variety of issues, including losses (job, spouse, friendships, etc.) and any challenges or issues you may have experienced or are currently experiencing (health, relationships, work, money, etc.), as well as anything that does not support you (expectations, fears, beliefs, doubts, etc.). For some, release work is a last resort, but it doesn't have to be. Release work is easy to learn, and once you master these powerful techniques, you can create a more joyful, healthy life for yourself and those you love. Following below are seven real-world case studies, including the situation, goal, strategy, and outcome my clients experienced. I am continually heartened by the stories my clients share with me, and the many ways this work has positively impacted them. The major energy shifts that result, have changed their lives for the better. I know, I've experienced these myself. Sometimes these changes happen in minutes, others in hours or days -- with just one session. That's how powerful this work is. To simplify this: imagine energy distortions are like an iceberg. The iceberg above the water is the main issue. However, below the water could be 50 or more resonant energies and experiences magnetized together that comprise the challenge. To release DEEP-seated issues and fears buried in their energy system I work with the client to identify the main issue. When these limiting energies and their infrastructure are removed, clients have "new space" in their energy field to create the life and experiences they want. Fear of Rejection in Relationships Situation: This individual had a fear of speaking up and being vulnerable in their relationship for fear of being rejected and/or losing it. They could never be themselves because they could not express their true feelings. Goal: The client wanted to release the fear of rejection and invite a relationship that would honor and support them. Strategy: We explored their relationships, what worked, what didn't, and what happened when they spoke up. From there, we focused on releasing the patterns of pain and rejection. We also released distortions that limited self-love and worked to improve self-empowerment by releasing fears around vulnerability and not being "enough." We also removed curses and spells that are sometimes hidden in the energy field that are often created unknowingly by a disgruntled partner. At close, their energy was elevated, balanced, aligned, and attuned for more positive experiences and improved health. Outcome: Client confidence improved as they felt they could express themselves without fears of loss. This new strength carried into all areas of their life. They also realized that if they were rejected for honoring and expressing their feelings, their partner was not a good match, and it was time to move on. Fear of Dentist Situation: Client has had a series of challenges with multiple dentists. They either made mistakes or the dental procedures failed. This made it difficult for the client to have a crown repaired. Goal: Release these fears so client could feel good about dental work that needed to be completed. Strategy: Patterns and origins were identified and removed from their field using pattern release techniques (see Release Your Fears! Workshop). This client also received an energy tune-up to place them at a higher frequency to catalyze positive dental experiences. Outcome: Client was able to find a new dentist and the procedure was successful. Team Workplace Issue Situation: Energy distortions from a variety of life/work experiences (rejection, misunderstandings) caused this client to have challenges with some members of their team. Goal: Client wanted to enjoy their work, and relationships, and move up within the company into a management role. Strategy: We explored what happened in their work interactions, how they communicated, and the relationship challenges they faced. We walked through the three-part pattern release techniques to clear the programs, patterns, imprints, etc. from past experiences, and curses and spells. A tune-up was also conducted to raise the client's frequency so positive team interactions would be available to them. Outcome: Client felt better leaving the session, and days later noted that the workplace issue had dropped away. As a result, they were enjoying their work, their team, and their life more. Health and Wellness Issue Situation: Client had a serious illness that required a significant amount of medication. Doctors could not identify the origin, yet the client continued to experience pain and it required an increase in the medicine dosage. Goal: To identify the source of pain, release it, and reduce medication. Strategy: Their energy system was scanned, and several sizeable energy blocks located on their spine were dissolved and released. Then the client received a tune-up to increase their frequency to accelerate and support healing. Outcome: 24 hours later the client called and said the pain was significantly reduced; and, they were able to reduce their medication. Blocked Writing Situation: Client wanted to write a book about a trauma that occurred in their life; however, each time they drafted a few pages, they were retraumatized. Goal: Release the trauma and underlying energies reinforcing them so client could move forward with their book. Strategy: Worked through three-part pattern release techniques to release the traumatic experiences documented in the book draft. At close, client was balanced, aligned and had opened new space to continue writing. Outcome: Individual continued to write, but the book was eventually put on hold due to a busy schedule. Post Divorce Challenges Situation: Newly divorced client with young children was exhausted by the changes divorce brought. They wanted insights to better manage their energy at home and work. Goal: To better manage their energy so they weren't overwhelmed and depleted from so much change. Strategy: Their energy field was scanned for leaks and repaired, and they were provided with a series of steps and verbal commands they could use to stop giving their power away to others during trying times. Outcome: Client found the techniques effective and they began rebuilding their energy system back by saying "yes or no" to a variety of situations that caused them to leak energy. Loss of Power in Relationships Situation: Client felt they were losing power at home because the support they requested was not forthcoming. As a result, they felt ignored, stressed, and overwhelmed. Goal: Identify and address origins of power loss, strengthen self-love, and empowerment, and reduce client stress. Strategy: We used the three-part energy pattern release technique to identify underlying issues and their origins. Spells and curses that bolstered the distortions were identified and cleared. All rips, holes, and tears in their energy system were also addressed, and underlying issues of not being heard or feeling powerless (needing to build stronger boundaries with yes/no) were also addressed. Outcome: At the close of the session, the client felt lighter and freer because a heavy burden had been lifted. They also said they found the session "amazing" because they felt more empowered to find ways to honor their own needs as well as those of their family's. Narcissistic Relationship Situation: Individual continued to attract narcissistic relationships into their life which made dating painful. Goal: Client wanted assistance releasing trauma, emotional abuse, broken heart, and low self-esteem that resulted from the manipulation and control patterns partner exhibited. Strategy: Past relationships were excavated and patterns identified and released, including those of control, manipulation, confusion around love and self-honoring, and imbalances in giving and receiving. In addition, all distortions wrought from emotions, thoughts, feelings, judgements, expectations and hexes, spells, and curses were also identified and removed. Outcome: By close, the client was comfortable and at peace again, knowing patterns and programs at the deepest levels magnetizing narcissistic relationships were purged from their field. The next relationship they undertook felt "safe" to them, and they enjoy their new partner. Workplace Trauma Situation: Client recently had a number of bad experiences with customers in the restaurant. They felt stressed and depressed about the lack of recognition and respect for their work, and the number of exasperating customers they served. Goal: To enjoy their work and the contributions they make to their workplace. Strategy: A scan of this client's field revealed a variety of distortions that resulted from customers directing their own internal anger upon them. Their anger caused blocks in this person's field, particularly around the heart. To support healing, distorted energies were released and transmuted, and the empty spaces that remained were filled with white light to magnetize higher vibrational situations in. Outcome: The client instantly told me they felt better once the energy was removed. I shared that they would radiate great energy that night with these energies gone. They told me they were "astonished" at the results that transpired. That night turned out to be one of "their best nights ever and customers were so nice" to them.

We each have fears in life, regardless of our age or gender. Some are passed down from our parents, others through mass media, and even friends. But, no matter where they come from, the truth is we don't need to carry the heavy burden of fears day after day, year after year. There are techniques to release them, and that's where Inspired Communication LLC can assist you. Spring clean your fears away My pattern release workshops help you identify and release energy distortions -- negative patterns, programs, imprints, stories, and other lived experiences -- that are still running in your energy field. Why this happens: Once fears are activated, the patterns and distortions they create magnetize the same situations over and over until you release them. Think of stories you've experienced. They may be similar or different, yet they have a common thread: the theme. For example, each dream relationship and /or job may have ended in loss and/or pain. Fortunately, there are other ways to grow and learn, and energy release work can help. All fears limit your potential for a joyful, healthy life. That's why it's important to release them. Once you do, you make space for new possibilities to create and manifest your true desires. How do fears limit your potential. On the physical level, fears can drive up your heart rate, anxiety levels, sleep deprivation, confusion and more as they deplete vitality and overall well-being. Energy-wise, fears act like a magnet. Once active, they can wreak havoc and repeat ad nauseum. However, once they are released, new and higher frequencies fill the space they formerly held, enabling you to tap into opportunities not available before. In my workshops, you'll have the unique ability to release the fears that hold you back. I have used these techniques extensively, refining them over dozens of years and thousands of hours. I provide these services because the wealth of knowledge and expertise I've gained in energy work has supported me in my own life. Moreover, these tools and techniques are meant to be shared -- to help you and other like-minded souls, live your best lives, too. Pattern release work can be applied to a variety of issues, including losses (job, spouse, friendships, etc.) and challenges (health, relationships, work, money), as well as anything where a pattern exists that does not support you. Level 1 introductory workshop During the introductory workshop, we'll work on removing two universal fears from your energy field: Fear of the unknown, uncertainty and doubt about what the future holds for you; and, The fear of not being enough, or powerful enough to create what you want or to change situation you experience. We'll also focus on removing the loss of power and /or giving power away. This second fear often shows up when you consent (unconsciously) to being taken advantage of. This happens when you don't speak up, state your desire of yes or no, and act on your words. When you don't speak up or let "no response" be your response, you dishonor your own internal guidance and diminish your energy field's overall power. Are you ready to let go of the negative patterns, imprints, and experiences that hold you back so you can receive what's already here for you? Workshop overview With my pattern release techniques, your heart does most of the work for you. It identifies where the blocks and distortions are and releases them with verbal commands from you. Once you complete the class, you'll be primed to open new doors and windows on an energetic level to magnetize new and exciting potentials to you. Here's what you'll learn: Energy Awareness. Specifically, you'll learn how to recognize when you're giving power away, and steps you can take reverse this. Having an innerstanding of energy can help you harness your own power to further your hopes, dreams, and desires. Powerful release techniques. You'll learn how to release two universal fears as well as the hexes, spells, and curses that underpin blocks and distortions on your own, so you can address challenges as they arise. Protection techniques. You'll also learn how to protect, maintain, and strengthen your energy field so you can preserve and increase your power on an energetic level. Invite new potentials in. You'll learn how to tap into the highest frequencies to invite new potentials into your life so you can experience greater joy and health. Sign up today!

In today's world, we move so fast, we don't seem to take the time to see each other anymore. We barely look at faces. Their eyes. The smiles. Never mind taking in the spiritual force that surrounds and defines one's entire beingness. When I meet someone, I can't help but look at their total beingness. I want to look for the beauty and goodness in them, and innerstand what makes them, them. I'm interested in learning who they are, and what makes them special. Since there's only one of you and me in this world, and the odds of creating each of us were one in a billion, I try to honor each soul by helping them feel seen, valued, and heard. When we connect in this special way, and it only takes one of us to do so, we engage on a level beyond words. Spirit to spirit. You may have heard some say the phrase "I see you." That's what this means. When we observe, acknowledge, and appreciate someone's life, it doesn't happen with a quick glance to the eyes. It comes from looking into their eyes and holding eye contact, noticing their appearance, and by seeking to know them. Then something magical happens -- the energy shifts between us and doors open in the heart to recognition, innerstanding, and compassion. What you see matters Yes, how you look at someone and what you look for matters. To you, and to them. How you approach someone is a reflection of your own level of self-awareness, trust, and self-love. Whether you approach someone with open mind or judgement, determines how they interact with you. For example, a conversation might remain superficial or trust is gained and you go snorkeling together, exploring the intimate depths of one another's lives. Without truly seeing someone, we can't fully appreciate and innerstand one another. Who we are. Why we are here. Our unique soul purpose and expression. Every one of us has a reason for being here. And a journey only we can undertake. Perhaps, you have soul friends that make you feel so alive, you'd do anything for them. It's because they see you. And you see them. Imagine what would happen if we looked at each other with open eyes, hearts, and minds? At work? At home? In your neighborhood? The world would be a very different place. What it feels like to be seen Several months ago, I cut my hair. It was pretty significant. I wasn't fishing for compliments, but after having six inches being lopped off, I thought someone would notice. No one did. Because of that I began to wonder what people actually look at when they look at me, and at each other. Then one day a neighbor of mine, who will soon be 85, stopped to chat and looked at me. All of a sudden his eyes lit up, and his face smiled broadly, and he commented on my hair. Pleasantly surprised, I told him he was the first to notice. Quietly the air began buzzing, and the energy shifted between us, and every moment from there on, our connection was infused with sweetness, joy, and smiles. It's amazing how we can feel when we're finally seen: the invisible cloak lifts and our true self comes out to play. It's like the light switch flipped, and we both saw each other so clearly. I tend to see everything that comprises a person's beingness, and I comment on the beauty and goodness I see in those I know and don't know. I do this because I want to leave people feeling cared for, even in the smallest of ways. Something truthful to remember that lightens their day. That makes them shift from being on "automatic" to being "present" to receive the compliment. And I'm never disappointed with the reactions my comments inspire. I also recognize that there are people who are deeply wounded in our world. They may have hardened from a difficult life, and it can be challenging at times to find goodness and beauty in them. But I still comment on something positive I can see. I've learned over the years, that people can't give what they have never had nor received. But if I leave something positive behind, in the quiet times when the moment is right, it will reach them. And I'd rather do that than say nothing. Depending upon the individual, we may be the only one who sees their goodness, simply because we looked for it. Key learnings It was a revelation to learn that many people don't "see" the way I do. When I connected with several friends and acquaintances for this blog, they said they prefer not to look at people when they connect with them. For some, it came down to vulnerability issues due to age, health, and other concerns. Yet, for others, seeing wasn't important to them. They connect through conversing and move on. I understand this, but I'm suggesting that in an age of epidemic loneliness, we take the time to engage with each other to really see, honor, and connect in meaningful and satisfying ways. So we don't miss out on the amazing gifts staring back at us. What we choose to see matters Unfortunately, when we don't see someone, we miss out on bearing witness to and acknowledging that person's gifts, specialness, and life experiences. And the wonder and joy they can bring to our lives. It seems small, but it's the little things in life that make a difference. That we remember. The kind words. The compassionate heart. The thoughtful look on someone's face. Their smiling eyes. When we look for the goodness and beauty that exists in people, we find it. The quest becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy because like always attracts like. The choice is yours. An invitation to connect beyond words If you wish to see and connect beyond words when you meet someone, look into their eyes and wait for a point of connection. Could be a smile, a nod, a shake of the head, a laugh. Then pull your vision back and look with a soft heart at their appearance for beauty and goodness, the way they speak, laugh, their body language. All of this takes but moments to do. From there, shift your vision to the entire soul (external) of the person...it's an oval shape and it's several feet out from their body. Look for it. If you can't see it, don't worry. Keep looking into their eyes. Feel their energy. The connection. Don't think. Continue to listen, smile, and engage with their energy and the conversation. Notice how the energy shifts: you'll feel a lightness in your heart. Joy and excitement bubble up. That's when the most precious gifts are given and received. ---- Thank you for reading.

At some point in our lives, each of us experiences loss. It's one of the toughest challenges we face. For most of us, the loss may stem from a loved one's separation, illness, or death, a relationship change, or even a job loss. If you're struggling to take that first step forward after loss, here are some thoughts and actions you may want to consider on your journey. Find joy and wisdom in every experience. Our journey in life is to grow and experience love and joy in all of its forms. It can be difficult to find joy in times of loss, but there are moments that can surprise us. And moments we can learn from. Where you can, gather these up and store them in your heart for safekeeping, or write them down in a diary. Recall them when you need to, smile where you can, and apply the wisdom learned from loss to new situations and experiences so you don't repeat old patterns, and your heart's free to create more joy in life. Keep an open heart. When we compress our hearts to hold back pain and fear, we blunt the energy nourishment that surrounds and sustains us. A hardened heart can also negatively impact the immune system and circulatory system, due to stress caused by unexpressed and/or suppressed emotions. When we keep our hearts open, however, we continue to bring love, connection, and support to us as we nourish and strengthen our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies during this difficult time. Cherish the memories. To move forward, we don't have to let go of the joy, love, and fun that we once felt in a relationship or job. Each of us has cherished memories we hold fiercely in our hearts. Where you can, collect and frame them, memorialize them in a journal, select the best memories and paint or draw them, or savor them through cooking, remembering the happy times. You can even place them in a locket or pocket watch and carry them with you. If work related, take a moment to review your accomplishments. Choose whatever makes you feel good. By honoring the legacy of what you experienced, you strengthen your connection to the love and joy that supports and enriches your life's journey. Make space for new, special moments. Let go of what your heart does not need from that relationship or job. Clean house. Energy work can also be beneficial here. With a tune-up or session, you can release the emotional pain that underpins sadness and grief so you can free up your heart to move forward with more ease, flow, and grace. Once you've accomplished this, it's time to reimagine what brings you joy. By yourself. At work. In relationships. Here's where you take the best and create more of the special moments you want moving forward. Seed and realize new dreams. When life changes, we need to change. And our dreams need to change, too. Where can you start? Begin by remembering what inspires you. What you love. Your long ago hopes, dreams, and wishes. What did you give up when you had that relationship? Job you wanted? Start envisioning your next chapter in life and your openness to new adventures. Where do you want to be? Whom do you want to be with? What does that look like? What do you want to be doing? Let your imagination and your heart lead the way. Doors will open wider than you ever thought possible. Know you're not alone. Often when we experience loss, we feel like we're the only one in the world going through this situation. But that's not true. Everyone has their own loss story to share. When we find a compassionate listener who provides us with the space to speak courageously from our hearts, we can open once again to new connections, new friendships, and the love and support that graces our lives.

In my workshops, you'll have the unique ability to release the fears that hold you back. I have used these techniques extensively, refining them over dozens of years and thousands of hours. I provide these services because the wealth of knowledge and expertise I've gained in energy work has supported me in my own life. Moreover, these tools and techniques are meant to be shared -- to help you and other like-minded souls, live your best lives, too. Pattern release work can be applied to a variety of issues, including losses (job, spouse, friendships, etc.) and challenges (health, relationships, work, money), as well as anything where a pattern exists that does not support you. Level 1 introductory workshop During the introductory workshop, we'll work on removing two universal fears from your energy field: Fear of the unknown, uncertainty and doubt about what the future holds for you; and, The fear of not being powerful enough to create what you want or to change situation you experience. We'll also focus on removing the loss of power and /or giving power away. This second fear often shows up when you consent (unconsciously) to being taken advantage of. This happens when you don't speak up, state your desire of yes or no, and act on your words. When you don't speak up or let "no response" be your response, you dishonor your own internal guidance and diminish your energy field's overall power. Are you ready to let go of the negative patterns, imprints, and experiences that hold you back so you can receive what's already here for you?
