 What is spiritual mindfulness?
It starts with defining what "spirituality" means to you. For example, I do not define spirituality as a religion. Rather, spirituality is that which connects me to life beyond "me, myself and I". This could be my connection to people, animals, nature, the universe, and in my case, my connection with God. With definition in hand, I am able to engage in practices that take "me" beyond "me"... from self to Self... from ego to divinity... What are some spiritual practices? There are many: meditation, yoga, walking in nature, prayer, ritual, writing, reading certain books.... Pretty much anything that uplifts me and enables me to feel connected to the whole of life is spiritual food. Why is it important to be spiritually mindful? For me, without spiritual practices, I feel disconnected and life has no meaning. Often the most challenging times in life are overcome by having spiritual practices that support us and bring healing. In times when life is smooth, these same practices enable us to "grow higher"... How often to engage in spiritual practices? Daily. Success comes when we practice little bits, consistently. Over time, daily practice creates life long habits. Looking to grow your spiritual practices? I would love to support you. Email me here.  In this week's Mind the Gap podcast episode Stephanie shares how the gap (the space in between/the unknown) is often something we fear.
However, it is exactly where pure potential resides. As we befriend the gap or unknown we realize an opportunity to focus our efforts on creating what we want. The paradox: What we fear is exactly what we need to get to the next level in our life. It's time to step into the unknown with wonder, awe, and a sense of possibility!! Let's go. >>LISTEN HERE  Staying Positive & Healthy:
Body, Mind, Spirit Discussion & Guided Meditation with Stephanie Tuesday, 5/19/20 @8:00PM Via Zoom How we manage our body, mind, spirit -- energy -- during this covid-19 pandemic is crucial to our health & well-being today-- and what we will create for our future. This isn't going away anytime soon. Join Stephanie to discuss ways to stay positive & healthy in body, mind & spirit during this time. At the end of the session, she will lead a guided relaxation meditation to clear chakras & bring ease to your nervous system. While we may feel scared, alone, anxious, powerless, angry, confused, etc, we must stay present to what is and deal honestly with life. This means finding ways every single day to stay positive and take care of our body (immune system), mind (thoughts/emotions) & spirit (energy body). If we get lost in the negativity and neglect our health & well-being today, we will suffer now and create negative energy in the future. Virus/illness is low vibration energy. Health is high vibration energy. Every time we have negative thoughts, speak negative words, act out negatively, plug into people and media sources that are negative, we weaken our immune system. A weakened immune system is susceptible to illness and attracts similar low vibration energy. This is why people who have comprised immune systems are at higher risk for getting the virus. RSVP Required in advance. After registration you will receive Zoom details. Cost: $27/person Register Here.  Waking Up
The only way out...is in!!! As we continue to navigate life during these uncertain and challenging times, some of us will embrace the opportunity to go deeper inside ourselves. As we go deeper within, we learn how to cope with circumstances outside of us that are beyond our illusion of control. If we resist going within, we also resist learning new ways of being that will support us when we need it most. We will suffer. In this mind opening and honest podcast episode released a few months ago, Stephanie speaks about "spiritual awakening" and how it relates to what is happening right now "outside" of us. How can we use the challenges we all face with this pandemic to go within and ultimately wake up to a life we WANT TO LIVE? Please take the time to listen. Apply the wisdom to your current life.

As we navigate this time of uncertainty and deal with the covid-19 pandemic, many of us are experiencing VERY high levels of stress. Stress leads to suffering. This suffering shows up in our minds-- negative thoughts - and in our emotional body-- as fear and anxiety. We are not use to experiencing this level of suffering on a "collective" scale. We are being impacted on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, financially. We see people dying. We are losing lives, jobs, income, health, security, safety, hope...control. How can we cope? What will support us today and moving forward in staying sane and positive? In this Mind the Gap podcast episode ironically recorded a few months ago, I speak to what is happening right now and how we can deal with the reality of suffering. Please take the time to really listen and apply the wisdom to your current life. Share the episode with others. Discuss it together and support one another. LISTEN HERE.
