The Art of Dream Analysis for Insight, Strength & Direction

Does Criticism from Loved Ones Hold You Back?

Some Tips to Help You Break Free:

When you are going after your dreams, a few hurdles must be  surpassed. This is not a bad thing because anytime you want to achieve  something great in your life, it is truly worth the effort it takes to succeed. One of  the struggles that clients often share with me are the negative responses from family, friends and co-workers when they reveal their new goals and dreams.

Why does this phenomenon occur and what can you do about it?

When you begin to make changes in your life, it will surely bring up fear in those around you. Although these people may have the best intentions in offering their advice, it is often clouded with their own fears of failure, insecurity, the unknown and many more limiting beliefs. These beliefs are illusions, yet when you give into them, they can overpower your life and hold you back from your own greatness. Read more »

Who Are The Moms In Your Life?

Today we give our love and respect to our mom’s and the mothers in our lives. We give gratitude for the love and nurturing that they have given us day after day throughout all of our highs and lows. Over the past 15 years in my practice, I have observed the love that naturally exudes from a mother countless times, and I am always humbled by this powerful energy. This love is primal, strong and protective, and at the same time soft, insightful and wise. The love that a mother offers is the feminine principal of our world, and I believe, the sanity of our existence. The mothers ignite our hearts and illuminate the compassionate, loving energy for both men and women to carry to the forefront of our lives. The mothers you know may have appeared in your life in traditional and non-traditional ways, and they have appeared to give you the nurturing necessary for you to not only survive, but to thrive. Whether the mothering influence in your life came from your birth mother, adoptive mom, aunt, grandmother, family friend or other loving soul, this beautiful lady deserves to be recognized, appreciated and embraced for the pivotal role she has played in your life. My mom has been my inspiration. Believe me, I was not the easiest child to raise. (Just a tad stubborn, demanding and rebellious.) But my mom hung in there with me and always encouraged me to follow my dreams. She has overcome cancer and at 78 does not miss a day at the gym. This is one strong lady! And there was Bobbie who helped raise my brother and sister and I. I love her dearly as my other mom. So this Mother’s Day, think about all the mom’s that have guided you along the way. And some way, some how, find a way to say … “Thanks, Mom!” __________________________________________________ If You Are Looking For Something Amazing and Unforgettable to Give To Mom… Give her (and/or yourself) the gift of creating a brand new path of passion, clarity and empowerment.

How To Make Decisions from True Choice… Not Fear

In this Post..

* True Choice Meditation for Decision Making
* Upcoming 3 Day Come Fly With Me Bootcamp-

Making Decisions from True Choice rather than Fear

We often struggle with decisions because our head can get in the way. We analyze them to death and then never take action. Or we make choices out of fear instead.

The True Choice Meditation is a powerful meditation practice that I use frequently for tapping into my intuition, or my inner knowingness, to make difficult decisions.

To help yourself decide if your choices are coming from true choice, guilt or fear, ask yourself, the following questions.

* What is the purpose of this activity?
* Who will benefit from this task?
* Am I doing it out of true choice or habit?
* Is the action I’m taking working toward my bigger goals?

Now sit or lie down in a quiet place and close your eyes. Take deep breaths until your body relaxes and your mind is clear. Now visualize yourself doing this activity.
Now ask yourself the following questions:

* What sensations are you feeling in your body when you see yourself doing this activity?
* Do any emotions arise?
* Do I feel fear, nausea, perspiration or shakiness when I think of myself living this choice?
* Does the activity work with or against my inner knowingness, personal beliefs or big-picture goals?

The sensations in your body are strong clues as to whether you are making a fitting decision or not. Your body is communicating something to you, and if you really take the time to listen, your intuition or inner wisdom will give you the answer you need. Just listen. You will often hear or feel, “I don’t want this anymore,” or “This feels right.” You might feel excited butterflies or a lightness, which may mean that this is a good decision. If you feel pain, a suffocating sensation or a sickening feeling, this decision may be working against your true self.  The trick is that you not only have to listen to your inner wisdom, you also need to follow its lead.

5 POWERFUL STEPS TO FREE YOU FROM YOUR FEARS!

Regardless of how successful you are, you have fear. Why? Because you are human.

Fear can be gripping and often hold you back from living a limitless existence. Read more »

My Secrets of Success: Tips on Entrepreneurship, Relationships, Parenthood & Living Adventurously. Part 2

I have so many tips that I am excited share with you in My Secrets to Success Series. The toughest decision is what to share next! I just returned from a three-day long weekend getaway with my husband and my creative juices are over flowing. Which leads me this very important newsflash:

Tip # 2:  If  You Want To Be Successful In Business (and relationships and parenthood for that matter) TAKE LOTS OF VACATIONS!

Yes, taking time away from work and daily responsibilities is one of the best things you can do for your business, your health, your sanity and your creativity. Coming from a self-proclaimed life-a-holic that loves her work, her marriage, her family and her fun (not necessarily in that order), I have found that the more time I take away from the office, the more inventive, inspired and jazzed about my work I become.

I know the feeling. Work is piling up on my desk, there are phone calls to return, e-mails to respond to, Facebook posts to make. I love it all and feel very blessed to live my calling and work with the most fabulous clients on the planet. However, there comes a time every few months (or even weeks) where my brain hits overload status. And I mean overload. Thoughts, queries and requests are flying in the direction of my brain looking for an intelligible and high-alert, problem-solving response. Then, all the sudden, I realize I have absolutely no brain cells left to fire back to the inquirer. I used to wait until I hit this proverbial wall to realize I was beyond my deadline for a vacation. Not anymore.

Now I plan ahead and I use my time away as a life and business booster.  Why? Read more »

My Secrets of Success: Tips on Entrepreneurship, Relationships, Motherhood and Living Adventurously. Part 1

I am often asked, “how do you do it, Allison? How do you create success in your life?” I had to really meditate on these questions when I began life and business coaching. Honestly, I had created a success system in my life through running 9 businesses, creating joy in my life, finding my soulmate and staying healthy and fit without much awareness of the steps or practices I was taking. They had become second nature, like an evolved rhythm that had caught it’s stride through time and experience. It’s kind of like driving a car. Once you master the basics and get some driving experience, you do not question where the gas peddle is, or how to find park on your stick shift. You just do it. (Parallel parking is another story!) But when I began teaching and mentoring, I couldn’t say, “I don’t know. I just do it.”  So I spent a great deal of time dissecting my unconscious thoughts, behaviors, actions, wins and losses, (yes, losses are a valuable part of the journey) to create my signature step-by-step strategies Read more »

Why I Don’t Run from Valentine’s Day Anymore!

If You Had No Fear, How High Would You Fly?

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULD NOT FAIL?

• Would you venture out on a new career or start a new business?
• Would you stop choosing unhealthy relationships?
• Would you stop settling in life because you finally realize you deserve better?
• Would you face the issues in your relationship and do what it takes to make it the best ever?
• Would you re-kindle that childhood dream and finally make it a reality?
• Would you finally figure out what your passion is and bring it into your everyday life?
• Would you challenge yourself to increase your finances to a whole new level?
• Would you walk away from all the drama in your life?
• Would you choose happiness over worry, anger and grief?

THE HARM IS IN YOUR HEAD

Believe it or not, your life could completely transform if you began to walk through the fear and make completely new and healthy choices The only harm upon you are the thoughts of fear swimming in your head like a whirlpool. The mental torture that grips you is the most painful reality of all.

Yes. Your biggest fears are merely a figment of your delusional reality!

You have either adopted someone else’s fear, watched it on television, or you were raised in a home that shared the fear freely. If each anticipated obstacle
