Finding Your Truth Seek Truth

Everyday our body, our reactions, our "inner knowing" gives us signs to let us know if we are living our highest truth. If we ignore those inner signs, dis-ease in the form of illness, depression, lack of energy or many other signs are trying to tell us to STOP, pay attention, and do something differently.

Life can be effortless, synchronistic, and joyful no matter what the mass media or our conditioning tells us. We are truly spiritual beings living a physical experience and we are given signs all the time of this eternal truth. The true test is how to listen to the guidance.

As you are at work, with your partner, or doing anything at all in your life, pay attention to your body. When we are out of alignment with our highest truth, our body contracts as if trying to give guidance to the mind that whatever we are engaged in at that moment, does not serve our highest truth.

Check in with yourself as you begin the new year around your family, work, and in every moment when you can remember. Take mental stock or write down in a journal, the situations where you are contracting either physically or mentally and in the February issue of Life as Practice, we will provide you with tools to begin clarifying your true purpose and help you build the bridge towards living that truth in fullness and joy.

IWC LogoNew Years Special on Integral Wellness Coaching!!!

January is the month of new beginnings as people make New Years resolutions to lose weight, live more healthy, repair broken relationships, etc. However, as long as we attempt to shift from the same space of making behavioral changes like working out more, eating better foods, and "trying" to be more loving to others, we are treating the symptoms without addressing the core issues.

Integral Wellness Solutions is proud to offer Integral Wellness Coaching (IWC). IWC is is a blend of several healing modalities including yoga therapy, Ayurveda, wellness coaching and personal coaching. It assumes the interdependence of the mind and body and how physical pain and illness results as s a combination of environmental factors, lifestyle, genetics, and emotion/stress that is held in the body.

IWC helps you address the practical changes you wish to make in your life while simultaneously inquiring into why these "issues" have arisen and stayed present in your life in the first place. IWC is not concerned with alleviating symptoms, but rather reorganizational healing.

Reorganizational healing doesn't combat what is not working in your life with the opposite, instead it aids you in moving towards a completely new direction in life where you current issues are not present. Instead of combating those issues, you shift fundamental aspects of who you are, are empowered with the tools and awareness to sustain that shift, and move into a completely new space where your body, mind, and consciousness are reorganized in a more complex and resilient way.

IWC can help you make these profound shifts by empowering you with tools, awareness, challenge, and support to live the life you were meant to live and give the world the gifts you were meant to give.

A package of 3 75-min coaching sessions are normally $360, however if you mention this newsletter you can purchase 3 sessions for $315 ($45 off regular price!). This offer applies to new clients only. Give yourself, your family, and the world the gift of your healing, wellness, and transformation.

Coming from Love
Coming from Love

Painted Heart

Each moment of life provides us with opportunities to love. Those moments when we connect over tea with an old friend to those times that are boss expects more from us than is physically possible, the capacity to come from love is ever-present.
Next time you are challenged by someone or something, ask yourself, what is my highest intention in this situation? By taking this pause, we can re-frame what appears to be suffering and conjure up the over-flowing well of love inside that at times feels as dry as the desert floor. Notice how you soften when you ask yourself this question and watch how differently people receive your presence. Each moment can become a gift to yourself and others when you come from a place of love.
