How to: crush fear and build confidence

Image
I have a confession to make.  Ready? For my entire life, I have been singularly terrified, TER.IF.IED. of needles. Not just a little scared...but like, would-rather-attempt-surgery-on-myself-than-let-a-doctor-or-nurse-touch-me sort of fear.  Right? Not great.  Why? I honestly don't know.  I've been told that from birth, I had deep mistrust of doctors, and now I think this actually may have been carried over from a past-life I had... ...let me know if you want to hear THAT story...  -- but I digress. This fear of needles has kept me from something I really, really wanted, ever since childhood. Pierced. Ears.  I know, I know. I did not have my ears pierced. At all.  Not even a single lobe.  Now I know, some of you reading this will laugh, and that's ok!  The reason why I share these stories vulnerably is to show you that vulnerability is what connects us.  We all have something we're afraid of! But I'm truly fine with admitting that yes, yours truly, was so scared of

How to: get grounded (aka: instant calm)

Image
Have you ever had one of those days where EVERYTHING seems to go wrong? Oh yes. You know which ones I'm talking about.  The days where you stub your toe getting out of bed. You burn the roof of your mouth on your coffee. Oof.  Your work inbox is overflowing with meeting invites and you are double/triple /quadruple booked.  The dog will not stop barking at a human outside/the wall/anything that moves and is currently doing zoomies around the living room...(this...is a pretty normal occurrence though... haha).  The wi-fi has slowed to a snail's pace. And stopped.  Joy. AND the city of Milwaukee has conveniently decided to work on the city's water mainline at approximately 8am so your shower water (and associated water pressure) is equivalent to a sad trickle.  And even the toilets won't work.  Womp womp. (True. Story.) You feel like you just want to crawl back into bed and forget the day ever existed, right? But this, this is the golden opportunity to ground your energy. 

How to: Spring Clean Your Energy

Image
Today we're going to talk about something non-traditional.  And it's going to get a little dirty.  Do I have your attention now?  I'm only kidding!  Let me ask you this: on a scale of 1-10... how clean do you think your energy field is? And you may be saying to yourself....perfectly clean. I just took a shower. Your physical body may be clean, but your energy body -- your aura, your chakras -- the energetic wheels that spin in different parts of your body...these frequently can gather energy and become clogged and stuck.  Which then can make you feel stuck. Did you know that your energy field can collect other people's energy, or energy from places and objects that holds pain and grief...and then it STICKS to you?  Even past energy of old events and situations that hasn't been cleared...imagine all of that sticking to your energy body, making you feel sluggish, heavy, sad or depressed.  Like you've gone camping for a week but haven't been able to shower.

Goodbye old you, hello new you!

Have you ever felt like you've outgrown...you? That your life doesn't "fit" quite like it used to... Like the things that USED to make you happy simply don't satisfy you anymore? Do you feel stuck? Well, I want to congratulate you. You have MADE it! This, my friend, is when the magic starts happening. Truly. ______ IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A SIGN, THIS IS IT!  YOU ARE READY!  ______ You may be thinking -- um, yeah... right.  What magic?! This does not feel magical, Kristina.  Feeling stuck can feel...well.  Shitty. And my response to that is... YES. It does. I get it. That's how it might feel in the beginning, but it doesn't last. I promise.  A whole new path is opening up to you, you just have to look for it.  If you're willing to make a tiny change to become un-stuck -- that is literally the best life choice you can make for yourself. So how do you start? First. Know that your hesitation is normal .  Healing is nearly always met with resistance.  I ca

How to: make a wish come true

Image
Have you ever made a wish? Christians call this prayer . Spiritualists call this manifestation . Atheists call it the placebo effect . Scientists call it quantum physics . Whatever you want to call it, no one is denying its existence. The law of attraction is real, my friends, and today...this little blog post is going to give you some concrete examples and real techniques of how I made a wish come true...and how you can, too! Last winter, I had this very vivid  dream that I was wearing a beautiful green-silver stone around my neck in a necklace.  It was connected to my past somehow and it felt important. Plus the energy of it felt so calming and soothing that I knew I had to have this stone in my waking reality.  I didn't possess such a necklace currently, so I went where any logical person would look for unusual green stones...eBay. :) I'm scrolling and searching and suddenly, this beautiful shimmering green stone appears in my feed. It says it's called, "Seraphinite
