5 Minutes to a Great Day
I’ve always been a big morning person and the way I start the day has always been important to me, but in the past few months I’ve modified it and perfected it just enough that it has made a huge difference in my life.
It is so completely true that “getting up on the wrong side of the bed” pretty much assures that you will have a day that isn’t wonderful. And wouldn’t it be terrific to start things out so that you are greatly increasing your chances of have a wonderful fabulous day?
Do this for 30 days and you will have a tremendous increase in:
• your energy
• your happiness level
• the way you interact with others
For everything that I’m mentioning, if you do it for 5 minutes the results will be amazing. The important thing to remember is that your goal is to wake up and stay happy as long as you can. Doing these 3 things will really help.
When you wake up, don’t stay in bed and think about things or worry about things or start trying to “figure things out”. Either go back to sleep (if you can) or decide you are waking up. Then:
1. Pause for just a moment and think of 3 things that you are truly grateful for. Think of them and visualize them in your mind. It might be your partner (or something about your partner), your dog, your home, something about your body. It just needs to be true that you are grateful for it. Don’t make anything up.
2. As you get up, have at least 8 oz. of water next to your bed. Drink the water and as you drink, say to yourself “I’m having a wonderful day”, “I’m having a wonderful day”, “I’m having a wonderful day”
3. Tap the karate chop point of your left hand (that fleshy part on the side of your hand, down from your pinky finger, where you would hit if you were doing a karate chop) with the 4 fingers of your right hand and repeat 3 times: “I deeply and profoundly love, accept and respect myself just the way I am”. If you are lying next to someone, say it silently. If you can – say it out loud.
That’s it! You can do that in less than 5 minutes.
And what a difference it makes in the way you feel. You literally can carry that feeling with you for the rest of the day.
Do this for 21 days and you will be amazed at what will happen. Click here and let me know what’s happening – I’d love to hear from you.
If you’re finding that this isn’t enough to make for a great day, maybe it’s time to do something deeper. Maybe your situation needs more help than that, and I understand – I’ve been there. If that’s the case, maybe you need to come to Sedona and do a Sedona Soul Adventure. When you call us, you’ll speak with one of our Angel Guides and they’ll custom design a retreat that will transform your life.

The Moon is Void of Course today (July 12) at 9:56 PM (Eastern) until July 12 at 11:07 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Capricorn. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
When the Moon is in Capricorn it’s a time of being dependable and following through. People will be working harder and it’s a wonderful time to really utilize your concentration and your focus. Capricorn is continually striving for financial security, so making efforts along that line will be very good. People may seem a little more stern during this time (as they are focused on their own concentrated efforts). But within the family, this is a time that brings out familial connection.
It’s a very good time to begin construction or to sell real estate and it’s a very good time for communication with influential people.
Be careful of your knees during this time. Also, be careful to not expose yourself to colds. This is also a time when skin ailments can flare up. It is a very good time to do anything that involves really utilizing your will power.
And always remember, Astrology and other tools are simply that – tools. It’s good information to have, but it does not mean that this is the determining factor or controlling your life. We all have free will in all the choices that we make. I like to look at it as good information that can be transcended.

When the Moon is in Sagittarius it is a time of enthusiasm, idealism, generosity and it ignites desires for adventure and travel. People are generally very expansive during this time and it’s also a time that brings out our desire for independence. For work, this is a wonderful time for expansion, especially if your work has to do with studying, teaching, anything having to do with travel or foreign lands. It’s also a wonderful time to attend workshops or seminars or for any type of outdoor recreation.
Sagittarius rules the lungs, so be very careful of your lungs and respiratory system. This is not a good time for medical procedures that involve the lungs, but a wonderful time to use breath as a healing practice. It’s also not a good time to start building or construction. Also be on the look-out for people being untruthful with you (including stealing from you) and be careful to not over-indulge in gambling. If you are feeling restless, just take a breath and remember, “this too shall pass”.

Virgo is very detailed oriented and is the sign that is the most critical and judgmental. But Virgos are also very helpful and very intelligent, so utilize this energy wisely.
It is a wonderful time for making lists and organizing things. It’s an especially good time for cleaning anything out. Clear your home of anything no longer needed or useful, clean your mind of any thoughts or beliefs that are no longer serving you and clean your body so that it feels the way you want it to feel. Virgo rules the intestines, so it’s a wonderful time for cleansing.
It is a good time to really look at and reflect on the details of your life. It is not a good time to discuss your performance or merits in your job or in a relationship, as people will tend to be more critical during this time. This is a time when you will feel more of a desire to help other people and other people will feel a desire to help you. What a win-win!

Leo is the lion and during this time we will feel strong and confident. We will have a desire to feel beautiful and to be perceived as beautiful. Our inner child is connected with the Leo Moon, so it is a wonderful time to love ourselves a little more deeply.
This is a time when creativity will really flow, so do everything you can to nurture that. A wonderful time not only for creative pursuits, but creative thinking. Leo (and the Sun) always want to be the center of attention, so resist the misconception that “everything revolves around you”. It’s a wonderful time for parties and celebrations. Be especially careful of your heart and spine at this time.

Deliciousness of Freedom
Happy Independence Day! The 4th of July is so wonderful. I will be in Wichita, Kansas with all 4 of my brothers, most of their children and 3 grand babies I haven’t met yet (all under the age of 14 months!). It will be hot and humid but the barbecue and the sweet corn and the fireworks and the laughter of babies and my brothers pranking me (like they always do!) will be delicious.
I love the 4th of July because it truly is about independence and it always makes me really think deeply about freedom and independence. And I don’t mean the political kind (although that certainly makes all the rest of it possible). I mean the true freedom and independence to live our lives the way we want to live them.
And the sad thing for me is that almost everyone I talk to tells me they can’t live their life the way they truly want to. And they always have someone else that is the reason for why they can’t. It’s usually a spouse, or partner, or girlfriend/boyfriend, child, a boss, a parent or someone else. Another person who is making it “impossible” for them to live the way they want to live.
Guess what? It’s just not true. While it is true that we have responsibilities to other people, it’s your choice whether you allow other people to control your life. I’m not saying you don’t need to take care of your child, of course you need to take care of your child. But who’s running your household? Who makes the rules? When I was growing up, everything was planned around my parents, not around the children.
And I’m not saying you don’t take care of your spouse/partner/girlfriend/
Are you living a life of freedom and independence? Do you want to? What is one small change you could make right now in honor of Independence Day to start you on that path? Figure out what it is and tell me about it, I’d love to hear from you – Click here.
If you’re struggling to find your freedom and your independence – to find the true you that’s screaming to come out – it’s probably time to do a Sedona Soul Adventures retreat. We’ll custom design the retreat for you (or both of you if it’s a couple) to eliminate the blocks that are holding you back and give you the tools you can take home to truly integrate peace and freedom into your life.

The Moon is Void of Course today (June 26) at 7:56 AM (Eastern) until June 26 at 5:05 PM (Eastern) and the Moon is in Gemini. Don’t make any important decisions while the Moon is Void of Course. For a deeper explanation of Moon Void of Course Click Here.
Gemini is the symbol of the Twin, so during this time you (and everyone else) will see both sides of everything. This can be good in some situations, but it can lead to indecision and people changing their minds for seemingly no reason.
Gemini is the most intellectual and mental of the signs, so it is a good time for writing and communication. Also a good time to do research (but remember, don’t make any decisions right now based on your research). Also a very favorable time for negotiating. Because things can be so changeable, it is also a good time for people being flexible. An excellent time to take a short trip.

Taurus is the bull and although this is a time when people can be very stubborn, it is also a time when we are attracted to calm and comfort., especially in our homes and our surroundings. This is a time when we tend toward the familiar and any kind of drama (especially with family members) will be especially unwelcome.
This is a time when we yearn for and crave serenity and peace more than at any other time. It is also a time when we will feel more patient. Money and financial aspects are highlighted now, although when the Moon is Void of Course we may feel a need to possess things or possess other people. Be especially careful of your head or eyes. It’s not a good time to go to the dentist. Also, be very mindful of your ears and throat and your thyroid.

Power, Empowerment and My Egyptian Past Life
I did a session the other day with one of our amazing practitioners and the issue came up of power and power vs. empowerment.
Empowerment is coming from our soul, from the highest part of ourselves and then through a combination of our solar plexus chakra and our heart chakra comes out as power. Have you ever been in the presence of someone who has true personal power? Or seen it in the movies? That person is calm, controlled, they’re not yelling and screaming, yet everyone knows they are the most powerful person in the room.
But when power comes out through the ego, it comes out as harsh and tyrannical and unpleasant. We’ve all seen these people in real life and especially in the movies.
When I was an attorney for 20 years, I actually had the mistaken belief that I had some kind of power. I could make people afraid because they were afraid of what the outcome might be. I intimidated people. Someone actually called me one time and said “I hear you’re a real bitch – I want you to be my lawyer!” He thought he was giving me a huge compliment. That was when I knew something was very much out of balance with how I was doing things.
Around that same time I found out about a past life I had in Egypt where abuse of power was a huge lesson that was coming into this lifetime.
True power comes from empowerment. If you are living your life from fear and worry, that is a horrible place to be in. I know, because that’s where I was.
When I came to Sedona for the first time in 1999, I was told it was time to “lay down your arms”. “Quit fighting”.
With true empowerment, information is coming through our intuition and deep knowing; then our third chakra (our guts) gives us the energy to do what we know is right and our heart gives us the courage to do what we know is right.
It’s so much easier. It’s so much simpler. When we are empowered, things happen the way they’re supposed to, easily and gracefully. When we’re coming from the power of the ego, we are struggling and fighting things to bend to our will.
What a paradox. True empowerment is effortless.
It wasn’t until I came to Sedona and learned and received these tools, that my life started to get easier. Do I do this all the time perfectly? No. I’m human. But when I remember and go straight to that true knowing, it’s always amazing what happens.
Wouldn’t it feel great to come into true empowerment? It’s not only possible, it’s your birth right. The problem is, most people don’t even know where to start with it. I certainly didn’t. That’s why I kept coming back to Sedona over and over again to work with different healers. Now it’s so much easier. With a Sedona Soul Adventure, people do it in 3 or 4 days! It’s so amazing!
So if empowerment is an issue for you, think about coming here to Sedona to do a Soul Adventure retreat. If your immediate reaction to that idea is, “I would love to do that but I can’t do that because of [time, money, it won’t work for me, you fill in the blank],” you might want to ask why are you disempowering yourself? I truly believe that we have the ability to be or do or have anything we want, however, the first step towards that is empowering ourselves with that belief and finding the tools to make it happen. And that’s exactly what happens for you here at Sedona Soul Adventures.
So call and speak with one of our Angel Guides and start on the road to empowerment. They’ll connect with you (or both of you, if it’s a couple) and custom design a retreat that will eliminate the blocks you’ve had to empowerment and then give you the tools to completely bring that into your life.

If you're ready to do life differently…
Have you reached that point in your life where you want to overhaul everything?
Your career, your home, your relationships, your body…
Even the way you “do” life?
Don’t worry. You’re not alone.
Most people arrive at this point. Sometimes, it’s after a major loss. Other times, it’s because your life gets out of balance. Others simply start to feel unfulfilled and bored, even though by most standards, they’re pretty darn successful.
The real question is …
What will you do about it?
You could simply grit your teeth and continue plodding through life as you know it. (But life is too short to be dissatisfied, don’t you think?)
You could indulge in a midlife crisis and do the stereotypical things like quit your job, divorce your spouse, move across the country and get a tattoo, all in an effort to reignite your passion for life. (Unfortunately, these changes typically don’t address what the real issues are.)
Or… you could give yourself the time, space and support needed to clarify your soul’s purpose, recapture a sense of direction, and discover how to consciously create the life of your dreams.
In other words … you could go on a private spiritual retreat. And in just 3 days… transform your life.
My new free guide reveals how. Request your copy of The Sedona Guide to Spiritual Retreats today to discover:
• How to tell if a spiritual retreat really is what you need right now (there are 4 major life scenarios that spiritual retreats are perfect for resolving – which one are you facing?)
• Why Sedona is the premier destination for people seeking spiritual healing and fulfillment (hint: the world’s most gifted healers and spiritual teachers flock here for this unusual reason)
• 3 rarely discussed reasons why group retreats often prevent significant spiritual growth and healing (this explains why group retreats are a poor investment of time and money, despite appearing “affordable”)
• The most important thing to do first to ensure your spiritual retreat delivers the results you want (Sedona is home to hundreds of healers and spiritual teachers – this time-proven strategy quickly pinpoints which ones will best meet your unique needs)
