Prayers Before the Birth of Yes

by Nicole's Blog

I sit at my computer today knowing that this blog is my last as a single woman.

And by single I mean no marriage (yet) and no kids (yet).  I’ve been quite comfortable being an independent woman for the past 42 years. I think at some level I was scared to commit to anything until I felt I could 100% commit to me – to truly loving and accepting myself first.

As I write this, tears roll down my face.

My tears today are filled with so many thoughts about preparation, my birth process, relationship, parental abilities, finances, career and the future. It can be maddening how much I over-think.

Then, I recognize that the only thing that matters is my heart, so I drop in.

My heart is absolutely humbled and overcome with gratitude and joy at the prospect of experiencing  unconditional love on a profoundly deep level. I am beyond thrilled to meet this little being that chose me and LLoyd to bring him here. I am also grateful for all the inner work I have done that places me at this point in time with a willingness to dive more fully into life.

With this, a prayer.

I stand before the altar of light that my plant teachers guided me to in January and before all the ascended masters I offer my prayers and my whole being to this process of truly awakening to the Divinity within me. To awaken to the Sacred Feminine Goddess. I stand before the altar asking that the boundaries around my heart be dissolved and that I fully connect to you, God as the Source that resides within me and all of us.  I ask for forgiveness, for being so hard on myself for all these years. I ask for courage, strength, support, guidance and love. I ask to release all notions of unworthiness, all belief systems and experiences that create fear, worry or doubt or that have led me to be unkind to myself or others. I ask for full connection to my intuition, and to my guides. I ask for healing powers and sacred medicines to radiate through me and with me for this birth. I ask to connect to my sacred sensuality and sexuality so that my birth may be ORGASMIC! I ask to be a mother that listens. I ask that you guide us to help this sacred spiritual being in the ways that will bring him to the fullest expression of his unique gifts, passions and purpose in this world.  I ask that Lloyd and I maintain the utmost integrity in our relations to his being and that we create a union and platform that fosters as much love and kindness as possible.  In the words of Astarius,  “I invoke, decree and dream awake the full cellular Ascension of our Beings –  physical, mental, emotional, spiritual in this NOW.”!  And so it is!

Willingly, I leap…

My next blog will be written by the very proud and honored Divine Mother Goddess of Yeshua Purnananda (meaning: Salvation + God), aka “Baby Yes“.

BADA-BOOM! Celebrate Your Infinite Grace

by Nicole's Blog

In the words of Michael Beckwith, the enlightened master of Agape International Spiritual Center, “Bada-Boom!” rings through my ear drums as I type today.

I love this acronym that he describes as:

BADA:  belief + attitude defines your altitude!
BOOM = blessed observer observes magnificence!

It’s time in that celebratory tone of “Bada-Boom!” to revel in our Infinite Grace. 😉

We are complete, whole Divine Sparks of God. So what keeps us small, dis-empowered, and out of our Vortex of alignment?  It’s our BELIEF SYSTEM and ATTITUDE.

Where were these forged?

Unfortunately for many of us, belief and attitude has been fed to us through the powers that surround us – the media moguls, government, big pharma, and insurance companies.  The current “World Dominators” that repeatedly send messages of sickness, fear, doubt and worry so they can control our minds and create powerlessness.

We have gone into a deep sleep. Wake up!

We need to awaken to the understanding and belief that we are God, Light, Love and Infinite Grace and Celebrate Who We Really Are!  We are blessed with Consciousness and the ability to be an Observer.  With a healthy belief system, attitude and PRACTICE, we can observe the Magnificence of ALL THAT IS.   We need to Define our ALTITUDE and ascend.  We need to observe, understand and KNOW that we have the power within us, always.  It’s our choice and responsibility to access the Universal Mind of Pure Awareness through meditation and practices that quiet these external stories/forces that we are habitually downloading.

What can we do? 

Stop. Slow down. Be in communion with people who are awakened. Listen to their radio shows and telecasts. Go to spiritual centers.  Practice yoga. Meditate. Get healing. Turn off the TV. Stop the video games. Use herbs and natural plant remedies. Sing to God. Ask for guidance and pray. Read affirmative books. Drink clean water. Get off the sugar, caffeine, salt and processed foods. Shop at farmer’s markets. Commune with the land. Learn how to care for her. Reduce your impact on the planet. Be kind to yourself first, then others. Come back to your center. Find your passions. Get a coach or mentor. Ask for help. What is your Soul here to express? What Divine gifts & talents do you posses that can service humanity and the world?  Think big because You are.  Each of us is a unique emanation of God.

Let’s do this thing…together!

A’ho!

Why You Should Consider Developing a Mobile App

by Nicole's Blog

A few months ago, I was featured on YogaPeople.io with tips on how to successfully market yoga retreats, and I shed some light on how difficult it can actually be to start your own yoga class nowadays, with the market being so congested. The article discussed the many things one should consider, such as the audience you’re shooting for, where your event is going to be held, and the theme of the retreat. Much of these come into consideration when you’re planning an event, but when it comes to building your brand and generating a following, you may want to focus on one more thing: getting your information out there.

While a good website is essential to any business nowadays, it’s even more important for your website to be accessible via mobile. According to the company that runs Pocket Fruity, growth in mobile internet is among the most powerful trends on the internet landscape, with more and more people now accessing the internet via their mobile phones than through any other channel. While most websites can now be optimized for mobile phones, many marketing experts claim that mobile apps are the better choice, as they give your users easy access to dedicated information regarding the services you’re offering.

An article on Forbes explains one of the most important reasons why businesses should invest in mobile now:

“A recent report by Google showed a major growth of 411 percent in mobile searches for last minute hotel and accommodation bookings from June 2011 to June 2012, while desktop searches decreased 79 percent. eBay accounted for a staggering $5 billion in mobile transactions in 2011 and expects to see $10 billion in mobile transactions this year. With nearly as many mobile devices as people in the world, and more iPhones being sold than babies born in the world every day, the mobile commerce revolution is just getting started.”

Other research has revealed that as much as 66% of users who did mobile searches visited businesses, but 76% of users left websites when they took too long to load on mobile. When you create a mobile app, it means potential customers have to do less to find information on the services you’re offering, and through e-Commerce options they can even book your services. Potential features of your app could be event calendars, interactive maps, galleries and access to testimonials from previous participants.

The best part about the mobile app industry is that it’s become so popular that there are many resources available to you should you decide to develop an app for yourself. There are services such as Appy Pie and Como, which allow business owners to build apps simply by inserting content into templates. These are good for basic apps, but if you want a bit more functionality, you may want to build your app from the ground up.

According to Formutus, figuring out the costs of mobile app development is easy, and many agencies have already released mobile app calculators where you can choose the features you want, and see how much the app will cost. Now, you don’t have to hire an agency to be able to create your app, but most agree that it’s best to get a designer. The designer will be there to help you conceptualize and execute your app, with you simply providing the content and graphics. Blue Cloud Solutions outlines the process of app creation quite well, saying that most table-based apps will cost somewhere between $1,000-$4,000.

It seems like a big cost, but with all the potential mobile apps have, those who want to begin their own yoga retreats should definitely consider launching their own dedicated apps.

6 Coaching Tips to Create Happiness

by Nicole's Blog

I can say from direct experience in my own life and from working with so many life coaching clients, that these are the biggest obstacles to our happiness:

1) Being Overworked
2) Stress/Anxiety
3) Perceived Pressures (abstract & mind created – not enough time, family expectations, societal pressure, etc.)

These experiences become obstacles to our happiness because they create:

1) Fear
2) Life Imbalances
2) Lack of Fulfillment
3) Health Issues – Physical/Fatigue/Insomnia
4) Dysfunctional Relationships

Here are 6 tips that I have found to be helpful in transmuting these obstacles and thus create real change in our lives:

1) Increased Self-Care/12:12 Rule

Ensure you are engaging at least a few times a week in some sort of practice that is just for you that helps you to release pressure, stress, and anxiety. For example: yoga, meditation, running, eating well, and sleeping more and better.  If you can’t figure out how to get to find the time for this enlist an accountability partner – a friend, coach, mentor or trainer.  Someone who does this well.

There is a rule called the 12:12 Rule.  12 Hours of Input = 12 Hours of Output.  If we have 24 hours in a day, allow yourself to be fed and nourished in 12 of them, thus your output is productive and impassioned.  For input, sleep is part of the 12 hours and the other 4 are for self-care/fun/passion. For output, you have 12 hours of energy expenditure to the human experience as service.  If you do your inner work than those 12 hours of output are servicing by doing something you really enjoy (to the effect that it almost seems like 12 more hours of input, catch my drift?) Learn what you are passionate about!

2) Prioritization

Speaking of passion. We have lost our sense of priorities and what is important to us.

What’s important to you these days?  I have clients write their eulogies. What do you want to be known for in your life? At the end of the day what is most important? Are you fulfilling your dreams? Are you wasting time in fear and all the perceived pressures of life and expectations? Are you living your life?

Each week set aside priorities that move you toward fulfilling your goals and your soul’s purpose.

3) Organization & Understanding Time Suckers

With most my life coaching clients, I help them create structure. We create schedules of their week so that they can take back their time and empower themselves to be more in control of their lives vs their distractions like “time suckers”.  Time suckers are things we perceive to be important, but in actuality they may not be like Instagram & Facebook. I’m not saying these aren’t powerful marketing/promotional and social tools, but we all know that one post can lead to several hours of time lost. When we create schedules, we can allot how much time goes into our priorities first and then see where we are losing time or becoming inefficient.

4) Taking Back Control & Time

There are three work scenarios that I hear time and time again from people who overwork.

1) I stay late at work because I feel like I have to (regardless of whether there is work for me).  If I stay longer the perception is I work harder.
2) I have work to do, but I get distracted at work by conversations, food, and time suckers. I don’t get my work done. I must stay late.
3) There is just too much work and not enough man power.

We need to learn to empower ourselves to be productive, work efficiently, speak up and create healthy boundaries so that we are doing the work we get paid for.  This is healthy for you and best for your employer.   The fact is, we need to be more in control of our time and perceived perceptions of pressure and stress.  All of these scenarios are changeable if you are willing to accept responsibility.  And when we take back our power, many things in our lives shift.

5) Understanding Your Value & Self Worth

Many clients that I work with have an inherent self-worth issue. This is an epidemic in our society.  We are caught in the program loop of “lack” and “not enough”.  We have been spoon fed this idea that we don’t have the power to create what we desire in our lives.

Human beings were gifted with the Spark of the Divine (the Creator) thus we have the ability to Create! We need to understand that it is our birth right to summon this energy and use this to create what our Soul desires and to express our passions, gifts and talents.

6) Understanding your Gifts, Passions and Soul’s Desire

Based on the previous, if we can let go of these ideas of lack and not enough, we can jump the hurdle of fears and limited perceptions that keep us small.  We need to do the inner work to understand what are heart and soul is desiring based on what our passions, gifts and talents are.  Without this knowledge we get caught up in the mind’s perceptions that may not reflect the True Self.

Honoring the True Self is the Key to Being Happy!

I hope you find these tips helpful. As a mentor coach, there are so many tools in our tool box that can catalyze real change. We act as your accountability partner to keep you on track and empower you to shift your perceptions and overcome your shadows and blind spots. Ultimately, its about creating the understanding that the power to create anything is within you and you hold the key to your happiness.

From Chaos to Order

by Nicole's Blog

Are you feeling a bit squeezed? Like your in a race with time? Or being spun in a washing machine? Do you feel resistance? Are you witnessing death/illness/unrest? Are things dismantling?

Change is Now. Restructuring is upon us.

To re-count an older blog I wrote, we are in the year of infinity and change is definitely upon us.  It’s about BELIEVING, KNOWING, getting comfortable with UNCERTAINTY and TRUST. It’s ACTIVATION time light workers!

The New Earth and New Thinking is to set off your desires (and really let ’em rip), Surrender and Believe. Know that the Universe is working with you for the Highest Good of You and for all of humanity. Any challenges that come your way are gifts to help you come more fully into alignment with your Higher Self.

When you practice this New Thinking and really Believe, you will be absolutely amazed at what appears! One of the main obstacles that you need to watch is the Ego. When you actually receive these Blessings, watch your Ego struggle and create Chaos in its disbelief!  “Deal with the enemy in your household (mind)” as Agape’s Rev. Michael Beckwith describes in this video here.

This is what is happening right now in the World. Chaos. From Chaos we find Order. Destruction and restructuring is happening around the entire planet.

Jump on board and live your dreams!! The time is NOW. The Universe and momentum is supporting radical shifting and now is the time to make meaningful shifts. The crystal children are coming in at rapid rates.  They are the race of healers and telepathic beings that will help support the New Earth and its New Thinking!

THE GOOD NEWS IS... there is help if you aren’t feeling supported or are not sure what to do.  Recently, I finished with a coaching client and this is her account of the power LIFE COACHING.

“I came to Nicole at a time when I was spinning my wheels. I’d made some big changes in my life which unexpectedly brought on anxiety and confusion, rather than the predicted increase in day-to-day happiness. Working with Nicole, we teased out what truly fulfills me and brings me joy and peace. 
Not only that, she helped me make small changes and complete short exercises each week that ensured my anxiety decreased and I was making progress toward uncovering my truest of dreams.  The weekly exercises are life long tools that I will not only continue to use, but also treasure.
Most importantly, Nicole helped me to come up with an attainable plan to get me out of my current situation and doing what I love.  All in all, I’m blown away by how much and how quickly Nicole was able to help me. The best part is she taught me how to better serve myself and my dreams for the future.
 If you have any inkling to try this, do it!  This is one of the best things I’ve done for myself. Nicole is gifted not only in her ability to heal and nurture, but to make things happen.  When I look back on the past 6 months, I view coaching with Nicole as the catalyst that re-united me with my purpose. Powerful stuff if I do say so myself! ”
