All across the Northern Hemisphere we celebrate the return of the light.

No matter our faith or tradition, the light will return!

This is one of the great teachings of winter: cultivating the faith that no matter how cold or how dark things get, Spring is just around the corner, the seeds in the dark soil will hibernate and then sprout, and life will grow again.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season, in whatever way you celebrate!

What is your vision for Heaven on Earth?

This is what joining Heaven and Earth means to me…

Heaven’s Operating System consists of the 4 Immeasurables:

💠Loving-Kindness
💠Compassion
💠Unconditional Joy
💠Equanimity or Peace

Like “the Golden Rule”, the 4 Immeasurables are essential love-giving principles in every genuine healing, spiritual, and humanistic tradition.

=- Nature’s Operating System consists of the 5 Element Energies

🔥FIRE
🌍EARTH
🪙METAL
🌊WATER
🌲WOOD

When we unite these, especially through our wellness journey and also creating a prosperous heart-centered business, we join Heaven and Earth!

It is my mission to help healers and heart-centered entrepreneurs like you attract more clients, create prosperity, and make the impact you’ve come here to make.

This is how we create Heaven on Earth.🌅

Today is the end of our series on the 4 Immeasurables!

As a reminder, the 4 Immeasurables are in every spiritual, healing, and humanistic tradition throughout time. They are…

💠Loving-Kindness
💠Compassion
💠Unconditional Joy
💠Equanimity or Peace

Today we are focusing on Equanimity or Deep Peace.

From my forthcoming book - Wild Spirit Wellness: Ancient Medicine Wisdom Treasures for Modern Vitality, Joy, and Peace

“Equanimity – (Deep Peace) Never before today has the opportunity existed for highly sensitive introverted healers and spiritual people to step up and express power and influence.

Deep Peace is not just suppressed energy and passive—It is Active and Dynamic! As Brother David Stendl-Rast, Benedictine Monk and Interfaith Scholar said: “Only if we become Calm as Earth, Fluid as Water, and Blazing as Fire will we be able to rise to the task of Peacemaking.”

This Immeasurable quality reminds us to be embodied and intimate with all that is, engaging with the 5 Elements and all of the 4 Immeasurables to become even more alive!

Active peace when it is mixed with compassion can sometimes look impolite from the conventional standpoint—but it can be kind to cut what needs to be cut, stand up to injustice, and ignorance, or speak truth to power.

Overcoming our own hesitation and using the power of Equanimity to sustain ourselves, and help the world, can provide a ground of Deep Peace for ourselves and others.”

What are your takeaways from the 4 Immeasurables?

Which one do you want to focus on and cultivate more of in your coming life?

The old paradigm of marketing tells us being the most slick and armored is the best way to be successful.

That whole paradigm is changing. One of my mentors, corporate consultant Mukara Meredith said: “Heart-Centeredness is the Secret to Success in the 21st century”... and I agree.

For healers, lightworkers, change makers, and Highly Sensitive entrepreneurs, the best way to be successful now is to actually use our Special Superpowers- our sensitivity and our heart-centeredness.

When we truly show up with sensitivity and heart-centeredness and in service in sales conversions, detach from the outcome of their “becoming our clients”, and Truly Listen, the possibility of true rapport and resonance can occur. And if it is a right fit for our services, they will join!

Instead of being glamorous and shielded, our heart-centeredness and sensitivity allow us to create a relational web of collaboration that is a win/win/win.

It isn’t a “power over'' in marketing anymore.

This new game has new rules and they are not about domination and manipulation..

When you stay in your heart and are sensitive in the context of collaboration, you are not just aware of your own agenda, but the whole collective field.

Instead of dismissing your Superpower, it is time to embrace it as an asset.

Learn how to do so in my Attract 8 Clients in 8 Weeks program. Link in bio to join. Doors close tonight at midnight. 💙

Welcome back to our Friday series on the 4 Immeasurables!

As a reminder, the 4 Immeasurables are in every spiritual, healing, and humanistic tradition throughout time. They are…

💠Loving-Kindness
💠Compassion
💠Unconditional Joy
💠Equanimity or Peace

Today we are focusing on joy. From my upcoming book - Wild Spirit Wellness:
Ancient Medicine Wisdom for Modern Vitality, Joy, and Peace

“Unconditional Joy, or Altruistic Joy, reduces envy, jealousy, sadness and joylessness.

Traditionally it is said that Altruistic Joy is the most difficult to practice because it includes those whom we dislike or with whom we are in competition.

Let’s be real – who truly wants those we loath to be joy-full?

But as I have learned from my Native American friends– when you blame and point the finger at someone, 3 fingers point back to you…

Joy has to do with the more feminine aspects of enriching our lives. This is about unabashedly enjoying our lives, and not just being in service.

This is not about consumption, but about harmony with the blessings of the cosmos.

Joy invites us to uplift the world with our heart-full purpose, beauty, arts, pleasure, nourishment, and sensory enjoyment.”

Where in your life can you cultivate more unconditional joy?

What is keeping you from doing so?

The 4 Immeasurables are in every spiritual, healing, and humanistic tradition throughout time. They are…

💠Loving-Kindness
💠Compassion
💠Unconditional Joy
💠Equanimity or Deep Peace

Today we are focusing on compassion.

Here is what I want you to understand about compassion…..

“Compassion is a combination of “maitri” (Sanskrit) for loving-kindness, and generosity. It is a journey outward, a journey of communication. On one level compassion is feeling friendly toward ourselves. On another level it is experiencing a sense of richness, that we can expand the warmth we feel toward ourselves to other sentient beings.” (Lion’s Roar Magazine “How to Be a Bodhisattva – May 10, 2022)

“Compassion means suffering with, and unless we are on a hyper-individualistic journey where we’re disconnected from other people, it’s inevitable we will experience 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows in our lifetime.

The richness of life includes connecting and journeying with others.

It is the invitation to remove our shields and be interconnected with others and compassion makes our lives more alive.” ~ from my soon-to-be-released book

Stay tuned for Unconditional Joy - the next in this series on the 4 Immeasurables next Friday!

What do you take away from today’s topic of compassion? Where could you practice more compassion in your life?
