We all have intuition but some of us don’t use it as often as others do. The more you use your intuition, the stronger it will become, and the easier you will be able to access it as a vital resource that you can rely upon. If you are interested in strengthening your intuition, you can begin by first strengthening your connection with yourself, and with your inner core essence.  And being in alignment with yourself.  Here are four ways to strengthen your intuition.

One of the things that I love to encourage is for us all to connect (re-connect!) with our inner core essence. That part of you that is so easy to forget, ignore and to temporarily occasionally even lose for a time when we are busy adults rushing through our lives. There are many ways to reconnect with your inner core essence, and today I’m writing about one in particular: remembering what you loved as a child.

This weekend is Thanksgiving here in Canada. At this time of year many of us think about the things that we have to be grateful for as part of giving thanks to the universe. It is so important to take time to do this. Feeling and expressing gratitude has health benefits both physical and psychological, not to mention spiritual.

Whether you live in a rural, suburban or urban setting, it is important that we all have our own breathing spaces. They nourish our souls, fill up our hearts, and make us feel whole again. It is vital to take time to enjoy them regularly and make them part of our routine. Find something that can be your own breathing space.

As we’re into the fall season in the northern hemisphere, the weather is changing and we don’t want to become sick with colds and flu, which it is easier to do when we are run down and exhausted. Self-care is vitally important in these months to protect our physical, emotional, and spiritual health so that we remain healthy, especially leading up to the winter. Self-care also can play a role in the joy and celebration that can come in honouring each season and help us to re-connect with ourselves and the earth and universe. And then when we are with our loved ones we can be more fully present for them.  Read on for five self-care tips for the fall season. 

I help people use mindfulness and creativity to reconnect with their inner essence, manage stress, find their "flow", and be better able to be fully present when they are with their loved ones. This can help everyone but my offerings are especially geared towards busy career women who want to replenish their wells and avoid burn out. SO…in a bizarre twist, I found myself at risk of burnout myself when I began commuting 4 to 5 hours daily to work a day job in another city. I did this for one year until August this summer when I started a new day job in the city that I live in (thank you universe!). Needless to say I spent the past year exhausted, and sometimes even feeling like a fraud.

Mindfulness is an important tool to have in your toolkit for many reasons and with many widely known benefits. One use and benefit of mindfulness is its impact on relationships. When it comes to relationships, mindfulness is an important tool for you to be able to use.
