Expect Better...Attract More!

I recently watched someone proudly proclaim their ability to manifest sh**. I kid you not. They were boasting about manifesting a crummy time. 

"I woke up this morning and knew  it was going to be a bad day. Guess what? It did. Everything went wrong. It's like I am cursed or something. Why don't things ever go right for me? What am I doing wrong?"

As I listened to her, I realized there were more people around me saying the same thing in various ways. Did you pick it up? In that one sentence there was evidence of duality. 

On one hand they were proud of their psychic abilities to foretell what's coming and on the other hand, they were blindsided by the amount of drama and trauma they were able to attract. It become ambiguous at this point and it is where the story loses me every time. 

Did they attract the mess they find themselves in or did something outside of themselves like a demon or jealous person do it? Do those things/people have power over them or is it they themselves who is creating this? 

When I listen to other people talk, I can pick up this duality in their message easily because it is the duality they live in their lives. On one hand I can see when they recognize their own inner power as they manifest the most amazing and incredible things for themselves. On the other hand, I can see them easily give their power away to bring about pain and destruction in their lives. They live with power and fear, love and hate, peace and turbulence. 

Being on the other side of this dualistic coin, I can tell you something....it is never peaceful all the time, you just learn to readjust when you feel powerless instead of hand your power over to some imagined entity or scenario. 

When you begin to understand that everything comes into your life by invitation, you receive a certain amount of freedom never afforded before. Why? because now you know that everything is within your control. 

In my personal coaching programs I work with people to uncover this power within themselves so they no longer blame things outside of themselves for what is happening to them. I also help people rework negative mindsets by teaching them Access Bars, a class I am proud to offer as it is is super helpful in removing limiting beliefs. 

Some tips I can offer for anyone who is interested in releasing this power are:

1) Keep a eye on your expectations. Your expectations determine your outcome so I always say expect the best you can in a situation. If your power is 100% with you, you will achieve it everytime. Even if your power is not there entirely, you can still attract good things in your life. What you don't want to do is expect the worst. That is a vibration you surely do not want to emit to the Universe. 

2) Be positive and stay positive in every situation. I have learned the art of redirect very well over the past few years and it is a lifesaver. If I am sick, I choose to see it as needed rest not being unwell. If someone leaves my life, I choose to look at it as a season ending and I can move on with beautiful memories. 

3) Continue your spiritual practice every day. Each day I have CREAM mornings

C-Chanting 

R-Reading (tarot) 

E- Exercise 

A-Assimilate 

M- Meditation

CREAM mornings give me space to understand, reflect and analyze my life experiences as they are happening. This prevents me from being reactive in situations and therefore casting the wrong vibration. Spiritual practice allows me time and space to focus on what I truly want while ignoring the rest. 

If anyone is truly intrigued in unleashing their full potential with my guidance, check out my coaching programs especially the four week Soul Alignment Program. It gives me a chance to work one on one with you to really focus your intentions on creating the most amazing life ever. Contact me for a free consultation call today. 

Living this life is easy when you have a purpose, have intention and have a strong desire to live your best life no matter what. 

Until next time, have a namaste!

This week is particularly strange and I received some its "unique" energy recently.

Someone signed up for a class recently with me on Meetup and then also sent me a private email requesting a discovery call. That day was a rough day for me. I had my kids home from school (snow day), I was working with clients and teaching classes. As emails come in, I can see them and I try to answer them throughout the day but if I can't...I always get back to people at night time at the end of my work shifts. 

Well this person missed the class because they didn't check their Meetup messages to receive the link. Understandable. What is not understandable is the scathing email I received afterwards as she berated me and my character for being a terrible person. I felt attacked. 

However I did not take it personally. That's the beauty of the work we do, all the classes and knowledge we have? We have to use them right? 

This week is going to be particularly strange because we have the ending of Venus retrograde, we are in the middle of Mercury retrograde and we are now in the beginning of the Cancer Full Moon. Emotions overload! 

If you find yourself wanting to lash out on others or thinking negative thoughts....be mindful. This may not be YOU feeling this way. I like to think of the Betty White commercials when someone hasn't had a snickers bar (haaa). 

I would love to say just eat a snickers and everything will be fine! But sadly it isn't that easy. The emotions that lurk below the surface need to come up from time to time to be seen and addressed. Whatever you feel these next few weeks pay attention to them. It is telling you what you need to work on. 

Here are some tips on how to navigate these turbulent waters safely. It is my way of offering you a snickers bar! Hopefully it is just as satisfying and fills you up.  

1) Do not take Offense 

When people are lashing out at you, it is a reflection of their inner state and has nothing to do with you. Learn to differentiate the difference between constructive criticism and personal attacks. 

2) Create space for Communication

I did feel heated by this person attacking me and after they apologized, I told them we will revisit this conversation in a few days. Create space and gather your thoughts. This person still wants to work with me but I am a little cautious. The days of taking on every student is over. I am not interested in upsetting my mental health by the few who cannot control their emotions. If you and a loved one have a spat, take time before you talk. Think about the relationship and its importance to you before you make decisions. 

3) Do not make major decisions! 

Now is not the time. Retrograde season is best for introspection and creativity not for forward movements in the real world. I have some ideas of where I want to go and who I want to go with but I am not making any definite decisions until after these retrogrades end. A return to logic is required before I move forward in my life. 

4) Dream Away 

This is the BEST time to journal, think and reflect on your journey. Write, write, write everything down. You will have the best dreams and visions now and if you pay keen attention, you can find out your next steps as this is the time they will be revealed. 

Yes retrograde season can be tricky but it can also be helpful. Remember all of life depends on how you look at it. Choose to always see the positive and your life will be brighter every time. 

Until next time, have a namaste!

There was a lot of drama among the people I know this week and for the most part, I didn't get affected by it. However, couple that with my own busyness of taking care of my kids (home another week due to weather), running a livestream and a boom in business and you got one tired and worn out lightworker. 

I spent a lot of time this week contributing to others and so this Sunday it was high time for me to tune out everyone else and tune into myself....literally. 

One of my recent christmas gifts from my sons was a Tibetan singing bowl! A tiny one that gives a lot of sound! Today I was alone at home and free, so I decided to use it. 

Sound therapy is hugely beneficial and healing on a cellular level. Sound healing works on a vibrational level and so it can elevate your mood, emotions and health by raising your vibration and lowering resistance to health and wellbeing. 

Some reported benefits of Sound Healing include:

• Reduced Stress
• Fewer Mood Swings 
• Better pain management 
• Improved Sleep 

I personally feel so amazingly relaxed and calm after a session and this is important for someone like me with an anxiety disorder. 

Today I created my own personal sound bath  immersion experience and I want to share that with you for you to try on your own! 

Items Needed:

- Crystals 

- Music of Tibetan Bowls (Youtube) 

- Incense 

- Weighted Blanket 

1) LIght the incense, take off the lights, play the tibetan bowls music. 

2) Lay down on your bed and place the crystals on your body as you see fit. Today I used a combination of black onyx, rose quartz and selenite for myself. I placed the crystals on my chakras and two flat crystal quartz stones on my eyes. I also inserted an obsidian yoni egg for internal healing. 

3) Pull the weighted blanket over you and take a nice nap while listening to the tibetan bowls and smelling the incense. Zone out! My whole session took about an hour and afterwards I felt super relaxed and calm. 

In addition to using singing bowls, you can also use tuning forks. Usually tuning forks correspond to a particular chakra so if you want to save money, instead of buying the set, buy what you can afford and build your set. In the beginning I primarily used the throat chakra tuning fork because I was working on healing myself of hypothyroidism! (I did heal it). 

As 2022 starts, challenge yourself to try new things and if you do, I recommend you visit a sound bath for an amazing experience. I don't think you will be frustrated when you are done.

Happy New Year! 

Every year we have the chance to create ourselves over in the image we view ourselves as, that's my favorite part of the first week of January. 

The planning and obsessing (hi I'm a Capricorn lol) over new year resolutions, making a vision board and setting intentions. It is wildly exciting! 

Of course somewhere around March, all the best intentions fall off and we are left feeling unworthy and ashamed of our previous glorious plans. 

But not necessarily! Take it from me, a hard working and ambitious Capricorn! You can make resolutions and get them through a year! 

I have written hundreds of new year resolutions and completed 70-90% of them each year. I know, I can hear you....but you didn't get them all Uma! and guess what? I am ok with that. 

Setting resolutions is not about getting a perfect score every year, it's about upleveling your self to become better and do better. 

This year I set 22 resolutions (honoring 2022) and if I complete 18 of them I am happy. Why? Because those 18 self development goals I accomplished, only makes me a better person so I am happy to rejoice them at the end of the year. 

Here are my 3 top tips for increasing your chances of setting resolutions and actually achieving them. Hey any business or development tools coming from a Capricorn is advice worth listening to so take a peek! 

1) Do a focus wheel and see where you are lacking in life- make those areas your resolutions for this year. In a focus wheel, you can put different topics such as Love Life, Career, Fun/Recreation, Physical Health etc.... Once you established how many topics you need to have a balanced life, then grade yourself HONESTLY on a scale of 1-10. How well are you doing?

You may have an outlook like this:

1) Love lIfe- 9/10 

2) Career- 6/10 

3) Fun/Recreation-3/10

4) Physical Health-2/10

Based on this focus wheel, resolutions should be made to address fun/recreation and physical health. Usually anything that falls below 5 for me is something to work on! 

2) Write down your resolutions and then divide them into action steps to do every quarter then every month. For example, if you wanted to lose 20 lbs, you could break it down like this:

1) Lose 5lbs every quarter

2) January- lose 2lbs, get an energetic initiation to bump up your frequency

3) February- lose 2lbs, join a gym 

4) March-lose 1lb, hire a nutritionist 

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time! Your resolutions will feel less gigantic when you break it down in easy steps to accomplish. 

3) Be easy and flexible with your resolutions 

You might start gallantly and hope to read 50 books this year. BY July you realized you only read 12. Ok so change your resolution to 25 books! It doesn't matter! You are not failing. Reading 25 books still puts you ahead of yourself last year when you read 0 books. 

Resolutions Making should be a fun and easy process. It should delight you and inspire you to want to be better. As we grow older, it is imperative we stay the student and continue to learn and grow. This is how we evolve and when we are evolving? Nothing can stop us. 

Have a happy and wonderful new year in 2022. My best wishes for you to achieve your wildest dreams! 

PS- If you live in the DMV (DC,MD,VA) area come check out the local Goddess One Day Retreat this month! Start your new year right by taking care of yourself!

It's time to never worry about money again! 

https://bit.ly/UmaProsperityCoachng 

We never really take the time to question our beliefs. Some of them are as old as we are or older. From the moment we are born, before we even utter our first words, we are inundated with belief systems that generally belong to other people- our parents, families, friends, religion, society, culture or more. 

Are beliefs bad? Not necessarily but they can be. 

If your belief systems required energy, time and commitment from you, you may want to read this blog and ponder on the thoughts I am about to present to you. 

It's different but it may just be the thing you've been looking for and if so? I am happy to just receive a comment or feedback on your impressions. 

Ok...into the matrix we go.....

Beliefs are basically thoughts that have been practiced over and over again. They don't just magically appear. If you grew up hearing your parents say, "Money doesn't go on trees" you will develop a belief about that and take it with you for the rest of your life. 

As we get older, it is time to let go of beliefs and live freely. If we do this....we essentially take a step to breaking out of the matrixed world we live in. 

Oh yes! The matrix is very much real! It just doesn't look like an Alien planet like in the movies the Matrix! 

The matrix is basically this planet and the manipulation of its natural laws by other beings. The story of these beings and who they are is a whole other blog but let's not digress. The idea is very simple- it is helpful to the beings if you fall in line and follow their agendas. It is highly disruptive to the beings if you decide to leave the matrix , learn how this Universe operates and live freely for yourself. 

When you choose to let go of beliefs or at least spend less energy and time with them,  you will begin to live freely. Think about it for a minute- how much energy did you spend today or this week defending your beliefs?

Some examples of how we spend our energy and time committed to upholding beliefs:

- I am a great mom 

- I am a firm Republican 

- Jesus Christ is my Savior 

- Gay Marriage is right 

- She is wrong and I am right 

- My partner is a narcissist 

Sounds familiar? 

Whenever we have a strong belief, we develop strong energy about it and we have to defend that belief at all costs. 

- We need to SHOW how great a mom we are 

- We have to DEFEND our position as a republican 

- We have to CANVAS to save others souls through Jesus 

- We have to FIGHT ignorant people on social media about gay rights 

- We have to PROVE our rightness and their wrongness 

- We have to CONVINCE everyone of our partner's narcissism 

As you are reading this, you are probably thinking....gosh this is exhausting and? BINGO that is exactly what it is. 

When you have a belief, you automatically have to defend it because the way the Universe is set up is vibrationally....so the more you think of something, the more you will receive the energy of that thing. 

Wouldn't you rather save your time and energy to focus on sipping a fruity cocktail on a beach? Or establishing a healthy relationship with someone? Or practicing self care?

Well I would and I did and that's why I try to live my life with as little beliefs as I can. Of course I still have beliefs and if they are negative, I try to limit my time focusing on them. It can be done but it takes work. One thing that has helped me tremendously is learning and practicing Access Bars and if you are interested in learning that, hit me up! Otherwise here are three steps where you can begin with your mindset reset:

1) Work with a Coach (ahem) to reset your mindset. It takes time and effort and having an accountability partner call you out on your sh** is most helpful and quick! Invest in a coach and you will not be sorry! 

2) Become mindful on a daily basis of how and what you think of. If you catch yourself going negative or using a lot of energy on a topic, reset and let it go. 

3) Journal about your beliefs and list them in order of easy to let go of and hard to let go of. Work on the easy ones first and work your way up to the harder ones. 

Once I let go of most of my limiting beliefs, life became sweeter and easier. It is my wish that you get to live the sweetness of this life too. xo Uma

I've come to realize that we are deathly afraid of silence. In all aspects of life and relationships. Particularly relationships. 

Over the past week, I have been experimenting with silence ever since I took a time out from life. I stayed home, read a book, did some puzzles but I stayed off social media and left the TV off. I was in silence for just a few hours but it felt glorious. 

As a person living with anxiety, I didn't realize how sensitive I was to sound. Every sound of life brings its own set of triggers for me. When I gave myself a mini silent retreat, I felt immediately better, calmer, relaxed and peaceful. 

Of course as much as I wanted to hide in my semi-silent house (there's so much I can do before the kids come home), I had to get back to life but I decided to bring the stillness with me as much as I could. 

I spoke less in relationships and that was where I discovered our grappling fear with silence. In each of my relationships, people started to compensate for my silence by talking more, revealing more and communicating more. It was fascinating. When I allowed dead air into conversations, I sat happily with the pause but it seemed it made people more anxious. 

This is what i think is the major upset in relationships when a partner pulls away. It's not so much that they took some time to themselves, it seems that we may be afraid to be in the silence with ourselves. 

What exactly are we running from anyways? 

My recommendation for you and for the health of your relationships is to take a silence retreat at your home every now and then. Start small with maybe an hour of silence and then build into a full day of no noise or sound. 

It will heal you. 

Why? because in the silence of others, you can hear yourself more clearly.

Once you do, you will feel more peaceful with everything that is going on. 

Check it out and let me know how it goes. 

In the meantime, I am silently going back to life.

It's not that enlightenment isn't for everyone. 

The Law of Attraction works but yet people tell me frequently that it doesn't. The thing is, you have to be ready to receive it. 

Have you ever had a dream where you were somewhere and you were unprepared? Maybe a dream of being in class and naked? Or being at work and unprepared for a meeting? Do you remember the feeling of dread and shame  you felt? Why? Because you knew (even in dream state) that you were not supposed to be there. Y ou needed to be clothed or prepared before you got there. 

It's the same thing with the Law of Attraction. The enlightenment we seek to have happy and peaceful lives comes with real power and if you are not ready to receive it, you can actually turn away your own manifestations. 

How can we not be ready to receive that power? If we have fear, anxiety, doubt, dread or other lower emotions, we will not be able to handle the power. Its physics. The "thing" we are calling in and manifesting is of a higher power and if we are in a lower energy, we can manipulate the energy to bring us what we want but it wouldn't be enjoyable because we will not be at the level we need to be to receive it. 

I witnessed it myself with a particular friend. I taught her everything I knew about this power in a sincere effort to help her out of her self sabotaging ways but it didn't work. Well it did for a little and she was soaring high! She manifested new love that looked stable and a new job that looked promising and a move that she dreamed of that looked full of potential. 

She thought she created her fantasy world and we were rejoicing but as quickly as she manifested it, was as quickly as her dream turned to a nightmare. 

The new love turned out to be insecure, possessive and highly jealous. Her new job started to change on what they offered her to a lesser offer than what she desired. Her own family member wished her dead for relocating. 

I watched her hide from the harsh realities of her new world that she was denying but everyone around her could see. She thought she could pretend to be happy and it would all pick back up but instead things got worse and unfortunately her "blindness" to her situation has her still in it and I had to walk away. I didn't want to see how badly this would end so I left. 

What happened to her scared me. It scared me because I started wondering if I really had the power or an image of it like she did. So I pondered this thought and went into my own meditation asking for clarity on this issue. Was I faking it too? At that moment I was happy and peaceful enjoying my life but was I lying to myself as well? 

Thankfully, I received the clarity (and results) within a few hours to remind me that I DO indeed work with this limitless power and it wasn't based off of favoritism, just actions. 

Actions that I share with my clients in a one on one coaching program. Actions that I was ready to take and commit to so I could have this wonderful and happy life. 

It was here that I understood the distinction of why LOA works for some people and for some it doesn't. It is manifestation vs. manipulation. 

See my friend was greedy and pretentious (traits I knew in her but accepted anyways) and she wasn't really learning the LOA from me for the betterment of herself and her world, she was learning it to get things. 

I see now that if a person has that intention, it will not work. The main driving force behind the LOA is a sincere desire to be a better person by being in better alignment to yourself. It is here in this place of complete alignment with your inner being that you can begin to use the power to unravel the mysteries of the universe ....and your heart. 

So today I give thanks because it's always been about the alignment for me. I desire to be so in alignment with myself and the Universe that no matter what happens, I am still and always happy, peaceful and content. This is a dream life in my eyes.
