Lets talk about the word Diversity…
It all begins with an idea.
What Does Diversity Really Mean?
Have you ever stopped to think, “What does diversity really mean?”
We often hear the word “diversity” thrown around in conversations, workplaces, schools, and even in casual exchanges, but how often do we truly reflect on its deeper meaning? It's more than a buzzword; it’s a concept that demands introspection and action.
Diversity isn’t just about how many different people you surround yourself with, or whether or not you support inclusive practices. It’s about what’s happening inside you—in your thoughts, beliefs, and actions.
So, let’s pause for a moment and ask ourselves:
Am I truly diverse in my thoughts, actions, and the way I treat others?
The Power of Reflection: Am I Really Diverse?
When we hear the word “diversity,” we might immediately think about race, gender, or culture—and those are indeed important elements of diversity. But true diversity also extends into how we think, feel, and engage with the world around us.
For me, examining whether I am truly diverse in my actions requires a deep self-reflection. It’s not just about how I view others but about how I hold space for differing perspectives—whether I’m open to hearing, learning, and evolving. This is a powerful, ongoing process of being honest with myself.
Now, take a moment.
Are you open to ideas, opinions, and beliefs that challenge your own?
Do you treat people who are different from you with the same respect, kindness, and empathy you would show those like you?
Diversity in Thought: Are You Open or Closed-Minded?
Diversity starts with mindset. Are you open-minded, or do you find yourself judging or dismissing ideas and perspectives that differ from your own? We often think we’re diverse because we believe in equality, or we may support diversity on paper, but do we act in ways that reflect that belief?
Being diverse in your thoughts isn’t about agreeing with everyone or accepting all ideas. It’s about having the openness to listen without judgment, to consider new perspectives, and to challenge your own biases and assumptions.
It’s easy to say, “I’m open-minded,” but how do you know if you truly are? You may think you’re diverse, but if you find yourself consistently shutting down people who think differently from you or refusing to engage with uncomfortable ideas, you may actually be operating from a closed mind.
Diversity in Action: How Do You Treat Others?
True diversity is also reflected in how we treat others—especially those who are different from us. Are you inclusive in your actions, or do you unintentionally contribute to exclusion?
Diversity isn’t just about accepting others—it’s about actively creating space for them, acknowledging their value, and celebrating differences. It’s easy to feel like you’re diverse simply by hanging out with people from different backgrounds, but how do you treat people in your day-to-day interactions? Do you listen with empathy? Do you show kindness and understanding, even when someone’s life experiences don’t mirror yours?
Diversity in Choice: Food and Clothing
How diverse are you in the choices you make every day? For example, in your food choices: Are you exploring and trying different cuisines, or are you sticking to the same meals out of comfort or habit? Food is one of the most accessible and immediate ways we experience diversity. There’s an entire world of flavors, textures, and ingredients that reflect different cultures, traditions, and values. By diversifying your meals, you’re also opening yourself up to new experiences—not just for your tastebuds, but for your mind and heart.
What about your clothes? How diverse is your wardrobe? Are you open to wearing styles that reflect different cultures, or do you find yourself always gravitating toward the same kind of clothing? Fashion is another area where we can explore diversity—whether it's in designs, materials, or the stories behind what we wear. Embracing a diverse range of clothing styles and fabrics can serve as an expression of respect and admiration for various traditions and perspectives.
In both food and fashion, diversifying your choices is an act of exploration—stepping outside your comfort zone, appreciating different ways of living, and expanding your worldview.
Practices to Help You Embrace and Practice Diversity
Diversity is an ongoing journey, but it doesn’t happen automatically. To truly practice diversity, we must create intentional habits that support and nurture it in our daily lives.
What practices do you have in place that help you practice diversity in your thoughts and actions? Here are some that I incorporate into my own life:
Mindfulness in Conversations: I intentionally listen without interrupting, allowing others to express their opinions and feelings. When I catch myself making assumptions, I pause, reflect, and ask myself, “Is there a different way to view this?”
Learning from Different Cultures: I make an effort to read books, watch films, or attend events that expose me to perspectives and traditions different from my own. Whether it’s cultural documentaries, literature, or talks, I actively seek knowledge to broaden my worldview.
Volunteering and Community Engagement: I look for opportunities to engage in communities different from my own—whether it’s through volunteer work, attending cultural events, or simply stepping outside my social circles.
Consciously Diversifying My Food Choices: I make it a practice to try new cuisines, cook dishes from different cultures, and support local, diverse food markets.
Expanding My Wardrobe: I’ve consciously chosen to wear pieces from different cultures, supporting local artisans, and embracing styles that reflect diversity.
Challenging My Own Biases: I regularly check in with myself to uncover biases I may have, whether related to race, gender, or lifestyle. I educate myself and do the inner work to make sure my actions are aligned with my beliefs about diversity.
By making these practices a part of my routine, I actively expand my understanding of the world and challenge myself to grow in ways I never expected.
Final Thoughts: Diversity Is an Ongoing Journey
Diversity is not a checklist we can complete. It’s not something we can claim once and then forget about. It’s an ongoing journey of growth, understanding, and empathy. It’s a commitment to consistently expand our hearts and minds to embrace the richness of all people, experiences, and ideas.
So, ask yourself again:
What am I doing today to embrace diversity in my thoughts, actions, and interactions with others?
By asking these deep questions and engaging in intentional practice, we create a more inclusive, open, and connected world—starting with ourselves.
With curiosity and compassion,

Let’s Talk About Sadness (Copy)
It all begins with an idea.
Let’s Talk About Sadness: Understanding It, Decoding It, and Dissolving It
Sadness is a powerful emotion that can feel heavy, overwhelming, and even isolating. But what if we could understand it better? What if, instead of resisting sadness, we could work with it and transform it into something healing and insightful?
The Science of Sadness
Sadness is a natural emotional response to loss, disappointment, or unmet needs. When sadness arises, the brain’s limbic system, particularly the amygdala, activates, triggering stress hormones and neurotransmitters like serotonin and cortisol. While sadness is a normal and necessary emotion, prolonged or suppressed sadness can lead to feelings of hopelessness, fatigue, and even depression.
Sadness in Psychology
From a psychological perspective, sadness often stems from grief, unresolved emotions, or feelings of unworthiness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) suggests that our thoughts largely influence our emotions, meaning that by shifting our perspective, we can change our experience of sadness.
The Spiritual and Energetic Meaning of Sadness
Many spiritual traditions view sadness as a call to reflect and heal. It is often linked to the heart chakra, which represents love, compassion, and emotional balance. Holding onto sadness can create energetic blockages, making it difficult to feel joy and connection.
What Sadness is Teaching Us
What I have been learning about sadness is that it always carries a message. When you connect with the message and take action, the sadness either reduces or dissolves. Sadness may be telling you that you have unresolved emotions linked to a past experience, or that you are holding onto grief that needs to be acknowledged. By listening to what sadness is trying to communicate, you can take steps toward healing instead of feeling trapped by it.
My Personal Experience with Sadness
My own experience with sadness has varied. Sometimes, I experience what I would call "situational sadness"—the kind that arises from an obvious event, such as a loss or disappointment. Other times, I experience a deep, unexplainable sadness—the kind that surfaces suddenly, without a clear cause. This can be unsettling because there is no immediate reason for it.
Through my journey, I have learned that the subconscious mind holds the key to uncovering hidden sadness. This is where tools like hypnosis come in. When facilitated properly by a trained hypnotherapist, hypnosis can help access unconscious memories and reveal the root cause of sadness.
Past life hypnosis is another powerful tool that can uncover sadness stemming from experiences beyond this lifetime. Many people who undergo past life regression find that unresolved grief, loneliness, or heartbreak from past incarnations continue to affect them in the present. By exploring these past experiences in a safe and guided setting, individuals can gain insight, understanding, and ultimately dissolve the sadness that has carried over into their current life.
When I work with clients who don’t know the root cause of their sadness, I notice that they struggle to let go of it. However, once they connect with the root cause—often linked to unmet emotional needs or past experiences—they are able to dissolve it. Many of these root causes stem from emotions that were trapped due to a lack of understanding at the time they were first experienced. By addressing these deeper layers, true healing can begin.
How to Work with Sadness: Tips for Dissolving It
The opposite of sadness is joy. When working with affirmations, it’s important to include the word "joy" to rewire the subconscious mind. Saying affirmations in sets of three helps reinforce their power. Try repeating:
"I am replacing the sadness feeling with the joy feeling."
"I am transforming my sadness emotions into feeling joy emotions now."
"I am joyful, I am light, I am at peace."
What If the Sadness You Feel Is Not Yours?
Sometimes, the sadness you experience may not even be your own. You might have absorbed it from someone else. In these cases, affirmations can help:
If you noticed sadness arising around a specific person, say: "I am dissolving the absorbed sadness that I have taken on from [person's name]." (Repeat three times.)
If you realize you have simply sympathized and shared in another’s sadness, say: "I am dissolving the shared sadness emotion with [person's name] now." (Repeat three times.)
When I started working with myself in this way, I noticed that I felt much lighter and not as weighed down after being around certain people.
Protecting Your Energy in Advance
If you know you will be in a space with someone whose energy tends to feel heavy or overwhelming, prepare yourself by saying this affirmation three times before entering:
"I am dissolving all excess energy in advance that is not belonging to me now for the next three hours."
This practice helps prevent energetic overwhelm and keeps your emotional state balanced.
Energy Hygiene: Protecting Your Energy Field
One powerful technique for protecting your energy is using light and visualizing energetic shields. You can imagine Archangel Michael's blue light of protection surrounding you, completely blocking anything negative from entering your energy system.
Alternatively, visualize yourself inside a pyramid, spinning both clockwise and counterclockwise. Picture a radiant white or gold energy transforming around you, spinning so fast that no negativity can enter your space. Another option is imagining a tornado of white or gold energy spinning around you—this creates a strong, protective shield that prevents any negative energy from coming into your field.
There are countless ways to work with energy shielding, and the key is to find a method that feels fun, powerful, and effective for you.

Let’s Talk About Anger…
Let’s Talk About Anger: Understanding It, Decoding It, and Dissolving It.
Let’s Talk About Anger: Understanding It, Decoding It, and Dissolving It
Anger is a powerful emotion that can feel intense, overwhelming, and even destructive. But what if we could understand it better? What if, instead of fearing anger, we could work with it and transform it into something productive?
The Science of Anger
Anger is a natural response designed to alert us to injustice, unmet needs, or perceived threats. When triggered, the brain’s amygdala activates, releasing stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This is known as the fight-or-flight response. While anger can be a healthy response to certain situations, chronic or suppressed anger can lead to anxiety, tension, and even physical illness.
Anger in Psychology
From a psychological perspective, anger often stems from past wounds, unresolved emotions, or frustration over unmet expectations. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches that anger is largely influenced by our thoughts, meaning that by shifting our perspective, we can change our experience of anger.
The Spiritual and Energetic Meaning of Anger
Many spiritual traditions view anger as a sign that something within us needs attention and healing. It is often linked to the solar plexus chakra, which represents personal power and self-worth. Holding onto anger can create energetic blockages, making it difficult to feel balanced and in control.
What Anger is Teaching Us
What I have been learning about anger is that it always carries a message. When you connect with the message and take action, the anger either reduces or dissolves. Anger may be telling you that you have unresolved emotions linked to a past experience, or that a boundary has been crossed. By listening to what anger is trying to communicate, you can take steps toward resolution and empowerment instead of letting it control you.
My Personal Experience with Anger
My own experience with anger has varied. Sometimes, I experience what I would call "justified anger"—the kind where I recognize my frustration and can address it rationally. Other times, I experience a deeper, more confusing anger—the kind that arises suddenly, and I don’t know why. This can be unsettling because there is no clear reason for it.
Through my journey, I have learned that the subconscious mind holds the key to uncovering hidden anger. This is where tools like hypnosis come in. When facilitated properly by a trained hypnotherapist, hypnosis can help access unconscious memories and reveal the root cause of anger.
Past life hypnosis is another powerful tool that can uncover anger stemming from experiences beyond this lifetime. Many people who undergo past life regression find that unresolved emotional wounds, betrayals, or injustices from past incarnations continue to affect them in the present. By exploring these past experiences in a safe and guided setting, individuals can gain insight, understanding, and ultimately dissolve the anger that has carried over into their current life.
When I work with clients who don’t know the root cause of their anger, I notice that they struggle to let go of it.

How to Work with Anger: Tips for Dissolving It
The opposite of anger is calm. When working with affirmations, it’s important to include the word "calm" to rewire the subconscious mind. Saying affirmations in sets of three helps reinforce their power. Try repeating:
"I am replacing the anger feeling with the calm feeling."
"I am transforming my anger emotions into feeling calm emotions now."
"I am calm, I am centered, I am in control."
What If the Anger You Feel Is Not Yours?
Sometimes, the anger you experience may not even be your own. You might have absorbed it from someone else. In these cases, affirmations can help:
If you noticed anger arising around a specific person, say: "I am dissolving the absorbed anger that I have taken on from [person's name]." (Repeat three times.)

Let’s Talk About Fear...
It all begins with an idea.
Let’s Talk About Fear: Understanding, Embracing, and Dissolving It
Fear is a powerful emotion that can feel heavy, overwhelming, and even paralyzing. But what if we could understand it better? What if, instead of fearing fear itself, we could work with it?
The Science of Fear
Fear is a natural response designed to protect us. When we sense danger—real or imagined—our brain’s amygdala activates, dissolving stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. This is known as the fight-or-flight response. While helpful in real danger, chronic fear can create anxiety, tension, and even physical illness.
Fear in Psychology
From a psychological perspective, fear often stems from past experiences, negative beliefs, or uncertainty about the future. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches that fear is often a product of our thoughts, which means that by changing our perspective, we can change our experience of fear.
The Spiritual and Energetic Meaning of Fear
Many spiritual traditions view fear as a block to personal growth and inner peace. It is often linked to the root chakra, which represents stability and safety. When we hold onto fear, we create energetic stagnation, making it harder to move forward in life.
What Fear is Teaching Us
What I have been learning about fear is that it always carries a message. When you are able to connect to the message and act on it, the fear either reduces or stops. The message could be that you have unresolved emotions linked to a memory that you have not yet processed. It may also be a sign that you are holding onto a past experience that needs healing. By listening to what fear is telling you, you can take steps toward resolution and growth, rather than staying stuck in its grip.
My Personal Experience with Fear
My own experience with fear has varied. Sometimes, I experience what I would call "normal fear"—the kind where I recognize I am scared, but I know I will be okay. Other times, I experience a fear that feels much deeper—the kind where I am scared, but I don’t know why. This type of fear can feel even more overwhelming because I can’t trace it back to something specific.
Through my journey, I have learned that the subconscious mind holds the key to uncovering hidden fears. This is where tools like hypnosis come in. When facilitated properly by a trained hypnotherapist, hypnosis can help access unconscious memories and reveal what the fear is truly about.
Past life hypnosis is another powerful tool that can uncover fears rooted in experiences beyond this lifetime. Many people who undergo past life regression find that unexplained fears, phobias, or emotional blockages stem from unresolved experiences in past incarnations. By exploring these past lives in a safe and guided setting, individuals can gain insight, understanding, and ultimately dissolve the fears that have carried over into their present life.
When I work with clients who don’t know the root cause of their fears, I notice that they struggle to let go of the fear. However, once they connect with the root cause—often linked to unmet emotional needs or past experiences—they are able to dissolve it. Many of these root causes stem from emotions that were trapped due to a lack of understanding at the time they were first experienced. By addressing these deeper layers, true healing can begin.

"I am safe, I am secure, I am strong."

Fear doesn’t have to control you. Here are some ways to work through it:
Acknowledge It: Instead of pushing fear away, name it. What are you afraid of? Acknowledgment is the first step to dissolving its grip.
Breathe Through It: Deep breathing calms the nervous system and signals to your brain that you are safe.
Reframe the Fear: Ask yourself, “Is this fear based on fact, or is it a story I’m telling myself?” Challenge irrational fears.
Move Your Body: Exercise, yoga, or even a simple walk can dissolve stored fear energy.
Practice Gratitude: Shifting focus to what is good in your life can reduce the power of fear.
Connect to a Higher Perspective: Whether through meditation, prayer, or reflection, remind yourself that fear is temporary and you have the strength to move through it.
