When I work with my bright and wonderful clients in the area of Holistic Nutrition, I often hear this question.  People seem confused as to why they know what to do, yet don't do it.  What if I told you that the answer lies within?  Because it does.  It lies hidden away in your psyche as an old belief that you hold about yourself.  You probably are not even aware of it.  That is why it is called a Shadow Belief. 

 

Shadow Beliefs can be things such as, "I'm not important", or " I'm not loveable", or "I'm not good enough".  Shadow Beliefs were born  out of an event or events in your early life, before you had the ability to make sense of it.  At that time, you made the event or series of events mean something about you. And, you are probably still carrying that belief around, even today.  The problem with our Shadow Beliefs is that they are the fuel behind most of our choices.  Are you getting the picture now?   When I'm working with clients, we work together to unconceal these beliefs to find the gifts in them and to become free to make new, healthier choices.  Take a moment and close your eyes right now.  Drop into your heart for a moment, take a few deep breathes and ask to be shown an important event in your life.  Then ask yourself what you made that mean about you.  You may be surprised at the answer. 

 

If you would like to know more about your Shadow Beliefs and how they may be sabotaging your ability to make the healthy choices you say you want for your health, you can contact me.  Let's Get Started

As someone who helps people to eat healthy, I noticed that I was having my own struggles around junk food.  I wanted to understand why and delve into the behavior behind self sabotage.  So, this past year, I have spent studying with NY Times best selling author, Debbie Ford - author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers and Why Good People Do Bad Things to become an Integrative Coach.   I have discovered that this is a powerful tool for improving your relationships in all areas of your life and in this case, to food.  I am excited to share this with you.

I'm also very excited to announce that on June 26th, Debbie Ford will be releasing her incredible new movie called The Shadow Effect.  This incredible movie shows just what I was after - how our unconscious beliefs show up not only in our lives, when we least expect it, but politically and globally as well. It may start with the food on our plate, but it can be bigger than that. 

 

We are have a shadow, actually more than one.  These are parts of ourselves that we have  cut off, denied and repressed.  Have you ever seen someone and said, "Oh, I'm not that".  That which you don't want to be . . you already are.  And, it is probably showing up in your life more than you know.

 

The Shadow Effect is a compelling movie that beautifully explains this very thing.

 

As an Integrative Coach, I am setting up dates with people who are interested in showing the movie in their homes; in your living room, where  5, 10 or 15 friends may be gathered, just like the Salons of days gone by, when poets performed in someone's living room.  It will be a very intimate and special experience and a wonderful opportunity to gather together with friends on a summer evening. The evening will consist of a viewing as well as other special surprises and inspiring discussion.  Watch the Trailer NOW

 

If you are interested in hosting a Shadow Salon for you and your friends (or your business), please email me at EmailAlyse@aol.com . I'd be happy to speak with you about it.  I know that this movie is the beginning of a way to make positive change in people's lives.  That is why I am bringing you this unique opportunity.

 

We are on the forefront of a new understanding about our lives, our choices and ultimately, how we can each start living happier, healthy and fully expressed life.  This can be a new beginning.  Are you in?
