I learned at a very young age that my “dark day” mind had the power to create cancer in my body.

The day that the doctor told me and my mother that I had cancer, I knew why. I knew my “dark day” mind had created my cancer. I had been devastated for an entire year after my father‘s suicide.  Heartbreakingly, toxically, devastated. It was too much for this fourteen year old girl to bear.

It was in that moment that I knew, with everything inside of me, that I needed to change my “dark day” mind into a beautiful one, if I was going to survive. But how?

I woke up from surgery with gratitude in my heart and mind, just to be alive. That was it!!!!… I specifically remember waking up with an abundance of GRATITUDE, “just to be alive!”

That was 36 years ago. That was my first round, of what would be two fights against ovarian cancer.  

My second round of ovarian cancer came after the second event of devastation in my life.  And just like that, I knew that my “dark day” mind had returned.  Certainly not the validation I wanted about my theory that my “dark day” mind was creating cancer in my body… But here I was, once again, face-to-face with ovarian cancer… and my “dark day” mind!

I had fallen off my morning meditations. Not completely. However, my consistency was off. I was still practicing my meditation, but not in the same way I had been practicing during my fight to survive the cancer. I was allowing the stressful days to dictate my daily routines.

I knew what I had to do. So, I did just that!…I’ve been honoring myself, every morning for 36 years with my gratitude meditation. Every morning when I rise, I meditate for one hour as the sun rises. I don’t know what my life would be like now without meditation, but I know what it’s like WITH it. Mind, body, and soul, I am GRATEFUL to be alive!

Often, I am met with someone questioning my happiness. This is one of the most perplexing questions I get. I always suggest meditation to those inquiring minds, hoping they will tap into their own endless supply of Peace, LoVe and JOY, through meditation.

Meditation brings me peace. Therefore, my attitude can be a peaceful one during the MESSY curve balls that life throws at us throughout the day! That does not mean things do not “GET to ME”. They can. They do. They will. However, the messy days do not control my mind, or my daily attitude.

An attitude of gratitude wins the race, my friends.

I challenge you all to start a meditation practice. Start today, even if it’s for only ONE MINUTE. Just start. You have an endless supply of peace, LoVe and healing JOY just sitting there, waiting for you. It’s yours… Go GET IT!!!

LoVe & LiGhT,

The root of all suffering…

DAILY, I remind myself, my loved ones, friends, and clients, that the root of all suffering is wanting things to be different than they are. Things are as they are. We suffer because we want things to be different. All these expectations that feed our frustrations with whatever it is that we want to be different in our lives. If it is not in your control to change whatever has a hold of your mind…Let GO, and LET be.

~Seana

“Accept it…. whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it. Always work with it, not against it… This will transform your whole life. 

You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you.

True power is sitting back and observing everything with logic. True power is restraint 

If words control you, that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.”

~Eckhart Tolle

Closet drama: Declutter once and for all. Clear closet clutter and make way for clothes, shoes, and accessories you wear regularly and LoVe! Those are your friends!

•  Does it fit?
•  Do I wear it?
•  Do I love it?

Do my clothes project the image I want to project?

Even if you love it, do you desire to wear it out? Be a brutal critic. If necessary, enlist a friend who feels comfortable enough to tell you if something is wrong for you. (but NOT someone who wears your dress, or shoe size…..they can’t be trusted.) 

• Donate
• Sell
• Store clothing that does not fit you (but you still have a love affair with) in a plastic storage bin. When you reach your desired body, you can revisit your love of them. However, they are not your friends “RIGHT NOW”, so out they go!  

Next time you’re in a changing room and something doesn’t make you look great, I want you to say to yourself: “This is not MY FRIEND.”…When you walk out of the dressing room and the sales gal asks “how did you do?”… you can smile and say, “They were not my friends”.  The sales gals always laugh and immediately understand. 

We want to STOP the negative self-talk. Our brains are wired to believe what they hear, and most people do a lot more ‘negative’ self-talk than ‘positive’. It’s time to make a change!

Feel free to contact either of us for any questions. Or you can hire us to help you OUT OF YOUR CLOSET DRAMA, Via Skype/facetime or at your location.  

Ciao Beauties! ~Seana

Morning cup of goodness… 

I am humbly reminded every day that I know nothing. Sometimes several times a day. I love when I am reminded of that. I welcome it like a juicy, messy, sweet, piece of fruit, nourishing my soul. It took years to befriend my ego. Meditation has become a life long journey and daily practice of mine. I started meditating when I was 16, shortly after my Dad took his own life, and I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The benefits of meditation for me, were lifesaving.

I’ve learned that your only limit IS your MIND. You must train your mind to be stronger than your emotions and habits, or else you’ll lose yourself every time. What consumes our mind, controls our life! Your mind believes everything you tell it, so you must feed it with hourly love. 

Take a moment to do the most important  thing you will do all day…Extend your deepest gratitude for this moment, and for all the many blessings in your life.

 Simple Meditation for Beginners:

• Set a timer for 3 to 5 minutes
• With your eyes open or closed, sit upright with your spine straight, but not stiff. You can kneel, cross your legs, or sit in a chair with your feet on the floor. Place your hands on your knees, or thighs, palms turned upward.
• Inhale and exhale, slowly and deeply, three times. Focusing on relaxing your body as you breathe out. Allow your breath to come in and out with no attempt to control it. Simply observe and feel your breath as it flows in and out.
• Stay present and aware of your body and breath. When thoughts arise, which they invariably will, just notice them and let them go, coming back to your awareness of your body and breath.

In the beginning it might be a struggle. Your mind and body may resist if it feels unnatural. With practice, you’ll notice changes with your mind resisting less and less. You will eventually look forward to sitting in peace.

LoVe is service. Be of service to LoVing yourself.
