Your vision was crisp and clear — and then, months or even years later, it started getting hazy again. You're frustrated. You thought cataract surgery was supposed to fix this.

Not necessarily were they always linked to money to begin with.
On the surface they were themes that ran her life in general.

However, we forget that we need to step into the vibration of our desires before it can manifest in the physical reality.

2021-08-0913 minPursuit of PeaceEpisode 7 - Release Resentment and Create Deeper, Fulfilling RelationshipsDeep seated resentment for others not only feels painful but is also one of the biggest resistance to our long term manifesting abilities.
Often resentment shows up for those who are closest to us.
Difficult emotions, especially if they've been bottled up for years can be very hard to process.
In this episode I talk about how I started letting all my unfelt resentment show up only to direct me to what needs to be healed - one of my closest relationships.
The ability to feel our feelings, understand what they are telling us, releasing...

Figuring out what lights up your heart doesn't come by "consciously trying to decide what is it that you want."
It means trying multiple things that you feel drawn to and then letting that one thing emerge that feels good in this season of your life.
Keyen Lage, an ex-NFL Athlete and now a high performance coach to world leaders has a revolutionary approach to life and success.
He completely steers away from the traditional advice...

As someone who took a lot of pride in eating clean foods I never thought I’d have nutritional deficiencies.
However, an extremely detailed lab test in November 2019 surprised me.
That's when I hired a health coach and started on my own journey and got really lucky when I found Ace Blend, a plant based protein nourisher.

Manic Manifesting is all about making choices out of low vibration emotions like fear, anger and resentment while magic manifesting is about infusing our decisions with love and joy which bring about the best possible outcome.
But how do you make it work in your favor if your mind is set in the fear mode constantly?
I talk about my personal experience and a few practical tips that might be useful for you in the process...

This was the reason why I would always push my desires away.
It still continues to act as a speed-breaker in my journey.
You know how when you have this expansive feeling in your heart as you think about your dream and then there is this voice within that says - "But how will it happen for me? Its too good to be true."

Until one day I found myself in the most beautiful resort town in the South of France, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea wondering if I could live my entire life with the sense of fulfillment I felt in that moment.
The Universe led me to an answer I least expected - my friend and mentor Jonida.
This week I talk about how my encounter with her led me closer to discovering my purpose and changed my life forever.
I'd love to connect with you on Instagram.

My intention with this episode is to tell you that if you're feeling lost and hopeless at the moment, you're not alone.

In this first season of Game of Thrones you’ll see multiple storylines weaving together. But the value at stake is power - the clue is in the name: the Game of Thrones. This is closely linked to the action genre with its values of life and death. And you’ll see other genres laced throughout which we will share in our shownotes.

Randall: I think this is really what makes a good thriller, the ability to have compelling subplots/ red herrings that also have equally life/ death repercussions, but at the same time reminding the viewer/ reader who the real villain is.

If I wouldn’t love the character of Konstantin that much, the episode would have been lots more disappointing.Parul - 50% thriller, 30% love, 20% morality Randy - Finally.
