Last week, while skiing at Lake Louise, I had the time to reflect on what makes me feel most alive. I realized that being in nature is a spiritual experience for me. It helps me to feel connected with myself and the world.  I find that it is very easy for me to be so focused on my work and the responsibilities that I have and forget about taking time to enjoy the other areas of my life.

When I am in nature, it gives me the space necessary to reconnect  within, to feel and contrast different  emotions and what my real  truth is all about. When I coach my clients, a major part of my work is geared towards helping them create clarity around what matters most to them. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the everyday chores and demands and keep doing things just because that’s the way we’ve always done them: Not necessarily because they are the best things for us to do.

This is something I discovered many years ago when I started my practice as a chiropractor. When I first started I was afraid of taking time off, but I was also keeping statistics for my practice. And I observed that the years where I took time off, I ended up creating more income. I asked myself why it was so, And I saw that when I was rested, inspired, more grateful and on fire about being at the office, that I was able to attract more patients and that my results were even more powerful.

Even though I was self-employed and if away I was not getting paid, I ended up with more money at the end of the year. It was an obvious choice for me: I could live my life exactly as I wish it to be, have more energy, more joy and more financial security! It’s one of the ways that I learned that it pays off to live from my heart and not from fear. The more I trust this, the better the results are for me and my life.  So while I’m glad to be back at work, and I look forward to each day when I get up, I’m also planning my next adventure. The one movie in August when I go for a couple weeks to the Amazon to experience living with some native people. Just not sure about the mosquitoes.

Love & Light,
