A TRIBUTE TO POWERFUL COACHING: TRANSFORMATIONAL CLEANSING, INSIDE & OUT
In May, I had a wake-up call which pulled the proverbial "rug" right out from under me. My preconceived ideas about life and how I felt it "should" run were challenged, big time. I ran straight into a brick wall: m y head full of illusions and "old tapes." What to do? Naturally, I spoke to key friends, family members, and Spirit. Who helped me the most? Well, that's easy! My coach, Rev. Dr. Mahalene Louis, an Inspiration Anchor, a Futurist, an Artist, an Author and the President of Soulvision Axis, Inc.! I even ended up expanding my current agreement with her so that I could have even more access to her invaluable reflection and wisdom during this time.
For the past four years, I have been working with Maha through virtual coaching sessions, retreats, emails, and a multitude of group coaching via teleclasses of various natures. Although Maha has not been my only coach (I have been working with coaches since 1996 and have received gifts beyond measure from all of them, including Arlene Rosenberg, Bea Fields, & Michael Port) Maha's coaching and teachings gleaned from 23 years of studying the Kaballah have given me powerful tools and ushered in many opportunities to challenge my old beliefs, mindsets, and misconceptions. (For more on that, check out two of Maha's other websites: www.qkabbalah.com or www.thywillbedoneinc.com.)
Well, Maha gave me one major suggestion: SIMPLIFY. Cleanse, clean-out, clear-out, declutter, purge, sort, reduce, "less is more," meditate, detach, no-thingness, do whatever it takes to make a clean sweep, inside and out. So, I have been doing just that. For over 80 days I have been tracking my progress: No coffee, almost no sweets, regular meditation, journaling, swimming, and lots of excellent TLC.
My culmination month has been this past August. I actually chose to take a two-week hiatus from my regular roles and activities and let my family go on vacation without me. Here's a round-up of some of the things I did this past month:
- Hired a professional organizer, Gayle Gruenberg, Owner, Le
 t's Get Organized LLC, to help me with "the Big Picture" and work with me to scope out and scoop out what needed to be done in my home and office. I ended up working countless hours on my own being spurred on by Gayle's example and influence. See photos.
- Took an intro session with a certified professional trainer, Carlos F. Perez.
- Ramped up my offerings and exposure by offering events and affiliating with Carousel Healing Center and Boutique in Westwood, NJ. (Events are posted on my calendar on my Vibrant Visions International website).
- Continued coaching with Mahalene, hosting my monthly Vibrant Life Workshop, coaching my regular clients, attending business meetings, and connecting with prospects.
- Attended "Earth Wisdom Rises-Sharing WIsdom Practices from Ethnic Peoples" workshop by Anne Wennhold FSS, SSP, Shamanic Practioner, artist, therapist, facilitator/Soul Dancer Workshops.
- Had an amazing Reiki/Reflexology session with a fellow Wellness Possibilities Network Provider, Linda Zeidler, RN, CARN, RMT: Owner/Touch Your Soul, Reflexologist, Reiki Master, Certified Hypno-Counselor, certified Addiction/HIV Registered Nurse.
- Got an unbelievable facial with fellow NJ Assoc. of Women
 Business Owners member, Marie Salamón, Licensed Aesthetician & Electrologist, and Owner,
Marie Salamón, LLC Skin Care & Electrolysis. See photo of Verena with Cucumber mask (Marie's own brand).
- Had an upper endoscopy and a routine colonoscopy procedure done by Dr. George Nikias at the same time.
- Attended Anne Wennhold's Shamanic Drumming Circle at Carousel.
- Was the guest speaker on Hueina Sus teleclass on "I don't know means 'No' and other Tips for Overcoming Indecisiveness or Over-Committing Tendencies." Hueina is also a fellow Wellness Possibilities Network Provider.
The result? I have a NEW MAGIC CARPET (several, actually)!! I have a new foundation, a fresh home and office, and a sense of clarity and well being that has eluded me off and on. I have a renewed vision and sense of purpose. Life keeps opening up and I am filled with gratitude and joy for all the wonderful people with whom I am honored to know and share my life and joys. My family and I are healthier and happier, and I am more "present" at work and at home. Thank you, All!
