Clear Your Fears

 

Clear Your Fears teleseminar

 

As you know I am in the Uplevel Academy with Christine Kane. Christine is a great coach who teaches us a lot about mindset. We all are experiencing lots of shifts in our business and life.

In our Acedamy we have the great opportunity to work with Sara Pruett Arey.

I highly recommend her Clear Your Fears Teleseminar. Here is what Sara writes about:

Are you ready to really move ahead in your life?

Would you have already if you just didn't feel so ... stuck?

A lot of times, we get stuck in the same old places:

• We have the same conversations over and over in our relationships - or in our heads ABOUT our relationships.
• We have the same old stresses in our work.
• We have the same old places where we feel stuck and discouraged. Trapped.

We say we want a change. That we need a change. That we're GOING to change.

And maybe we make a change for a day. Or maybe we go for a whole week. Eventually, though, we end up back on the same old track.

 I'm going to let you in on a secret. Do you know the #1 cause of staying stuck?

Fear.

Want to release your fears in a way that effective, peaceful and surprisingly easy?

Blogchallenge: E.A.s.E

Hello & welcome to my Blogchallenge on Monday! Today's topic is: E. A. s. E

So, that is one of my favorite topics ever! People have the tendency to make everything really complicated. People are in their head. People think in a box. People are willing to suffer and to work hard. It is like we want to proove how hard we can work and how tough we can be.

One thing I really never understood when I have been a Mimestudent in Paris. We were treatend like an Elite Group. Like special ones. On one side.

On the other side we had to sit in the spotlight, lots of eyes fixed on us, all alone on stage. Feedback time. They have beaten us up. With words. It felt like that.

Why?

They said:
We want to prepare you to be strong for the world outside.
You have to be tough, we train you.

I know that is a current behavior in theatre schools. It is the same everywhere.

I am far away of that thinking.

Creativity, Vulnerability, Passion, Love, Commitment are all coming from a place of sharing.
We open our heart  to the world.
We give.
Because we need to.
Because it feels easy.
Because it is pure.

We do not need to become hard.
It works the other way round.


Ease- we can allow ourself to respect our heart, the flow of it, to listen to the heartbeat, the wispers.
This never lies.
This never feels hard.

It feels soft and lovely and easy. It opens doors!

I want to encourage you to allow yourself to follow your path- that path that makes you smile.

This is growth.

WE do not need to hold on something that feels hard. Embrace it and then let it go.

Today's interview is with: Carol Cox of Ginkgo Leaf Studio

Hello and welcome to the place where bravehearts meet! I am so happy to have you here!

Please introduce yourself to my blogreaders: 
My name is Carol Cox and I am president and founder of Ginkgo Leaf Studio. I help women who are ready, learn to connect the dots between body, mind, and spirit via meditation and relaxation, core based movement, and thought work.

How did you find out what your calling is ? 
Very circuitously !  My background is in art and design, and I suddenly felt compelled to continue my journey by becoming a Pilates teacher.  As soon as I started teaching, I began to become fascinated with all things mind body, which led me to the place of integrated mind body work and coaching that I offer today.

Please share your favorite thing about your business: 
My favorite thing about my business is helping women get back to their inner selves after many years of being outer focused.

What was your bravest step? 
I think that would have to be leaving the art and design field to learn to teach movement!  Something totally foreign to me, but I somehow knew it had a purpose.

As you know I am a Dreamcoach where I help heartcentred people connect with their passion, mission, and vision. What are you dreaming about? 
I dream of my vision for Ginkgo Leaf Studio growing to the point where I have helped thousands of women.

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ? 
You must, must, must make time for self care, you must put systems in place so that you are not overwhelmed with all of the great ideas constantly flowing to you, and you must have help in terms of a team.

How can we find you?

Huge Succes with my Intuitive Dreambook Reading

I am spending lovely days in Cornwall, England- the Land of my Heart.

 

England, is also where my very first English client lives.

Jackie Stewart from Flower Spirit.

 

I made a wonderful experience with her with my Intuitive Dreambook Reading.

I want to share what Jackie wrote after our first session (there are too):

"Something truly magical happened."

"When Andrea first told me about her Dreambook Readings, I wasn’t sure how they could help me but I was curious to find out more.

We chose to focus on my work, which is something I already have a strong heart connection with but this process enabled me to connect even more deeply and make exciting new changes!

Andrea sent me heartfelt guidance on how to create my own dreambook and I dived right in. What a gorgeous experience and Andrea’s reminder to connect with my heart rather than my mind throughout the process of crafting the dreambook was permission to discover the truth deep in my heart and the new directions that needed to emerge.

During our coaching call, Andrea held a loving space for me to talk about my dreambook and I was amazed to find that new insights and ideas emerged that I hadn’t even been conscious of while she listened. And then something truly magical happened. Andrea reflected back to me the messages she received from my dreambook and I sat with tears pouring down my face because it was like she could see my soul.

She confirmed to me that I was ready to make big changes and motivated me to make steps. As a direct result of our work together I’ve started running again – a practice that brings much-needed fire energy into my work and I’ve set up the Soul Sanctuary: a series of workshops which I also plan to offer online. I feel much more confident about what I offer and I am now taking steps to transform the ideas from our work together into new services and products for my business.

Andrea is an incredibly intuitive guide who holds a space for dreams to take flight and become real. She will gently show you what your heart and soul are guiding you to do. I highly recommend her beautiful work if you need clarity, guidance or encouragement to make your dreams come true."

Jackie Stewart. www.flowerspirit.co.uk

I am so GRATEFUL for these words! My heart is full of love. I am so happy that I was brave enough to follow my heart and listen to its calling: "Share your gift with the world, do not hold back because of my Englsih accent. Isn't it funny sometimes that we want to be perfect before we do something."

 

Jackie even shared that she loves my accent.

 

So- you see- this is my inspiration for you.

 

Start today and share your gift! Do not wait- you are ready NOW!

 

Do you want to experience my Intuitive Dreambook Reading? Then go here and grab your spot!

Blogchallence: V.i.B.R.a.n.C.E

Hello & welcome to my Blogchallenge on Monday! Today's topic is:

 

V.i.B.R.a.n.C.E

 

So- I keep it simple!

 

In two days I will take the plane and fly to the most beautiful country- the land of the Celts!

I will spend 7 days at my favorite place on earth. The place I am visiting since the age of 20.

 

Yes, that is quite for a long time.

 

St. Ives in Cornwall.

 

That is where I feel vibrant. It is the place where my heart belongs. This is the place where I fill my batteries with joy and ease and inspiration.

 

Vibrance is in the air.

 

I want to share some impressions from my trips in 2012.

 

Enjoy!

 

 I love the light and the colors:

 

 

The oldest door:

 

St. Ives- full of boats and ropes:

 

I will spend time to find little treasures:

 

I will meet all the extraordinary people. People who became my friends.

 

Oh yes, we will talk. We will spend hours talking about painting, about life about what inspires us.

 

It will be soul nurturing!

 

Tell me in the comment below:

Is there a place on earth that makes you feel vibrant?

 

Love & light!

Andrea

 

In the Spotlight: Gail Kenny

Today's interview is with Gail Kenny

Hello and welcome to the place where bravehearts meet! I am so happy to have you here!

Please introduce yourself to my blogreaders:

I’m a mind-body coach helping people heal pain from the inside out.  I specialize in helping people change old dysfunctional patterns of thinking and feeling resulting in physical and emotional pain relief and getting back to living the life they want.

I guide people into their bodies to experience deep-healing soul reconnection.  This process allows the pain and discomfort to be recognized with a deeper understanding of what the messages are and how to live with more ease.

How did you find out what your calling is?

I struggled with chronic pelvic pain for more than 20 years.  All the normal established treatments for pelvic pain didn’t help me much and and I had periods of time when I wanted out of this life because it was too painful and hopeless and the doctors didn’t know how to help me.  I finally began to feel better after I found the right physical therapy and then connected with a mind-body coach and learned how to connect with my body and feel my emotions.  Now I’m passionate about helping other people heal their pain too.  I know how hard it is to live a life in pain.  I’m passionate about spreading my message to help people find relief for their pain sooner than I did.  

Please share your favorite thing about your business:

I love guiding people deep into their being to connect with the places they are stuck and help them make positive energy shifts into expansion and well-being. 

What was your bravest step?

My bravest step was to let go of living in the coventional way, working in a secure job I was good at but which I wasn’t passionate about and give myself permission to live in a way that nourishes my body and soul, trusting that my needs will still be met. 

As you know I am a Dreamcoach where I help heartcentred people connect with their passion, mission, and vision. What are you dreaming about?

I am dreaming about continuing to grow my mind-body coaching business in a way that attracts clients I love working with, keeps me healthy and contented, and supports me and my family comfortably. 

What are your top 3 tips to keep balance as an Entrepreneur ?

1.      Take some quiet time each day to get still to check in with your inner self.

2.      Have daily resting practice.  Ten minutes of mindful resting can be very refreshing. 

3.      Move your body – do yoga, dance, walk, run, play a sport, etc.  Our bodies are much happier when we move them more often. 

How can we find you?

Blogchallenge: D.E.E.P.e.N

Hello and welcome to my blogchallenge. Today's topic is DEEPeN.

This is my word for the year 2013. I am so happy that I have chosen this one. 2012 was a year where I learned so much: A lot of new skills for my coaching practise.

I took many online courses in growing my business.

Oh and all the artcourses - I love it so much.

Honestly 2012 has been a huge year in becoming the person I was longing for.

At the end of 2012 I really felt that I wanted to have a feeling of completion. First I thought that might be the word for 2013. But it went deeper than that. It took me 2-3 weeks to finally get it that it was DEEPEN.

Here is my Dreambook that I created for 2013:

I love the purple colours. And when I went deeper into it I realized the bodymovement of the women. It goes deeper down. Even the flowers have all a center point that goes deep.

So I want to deepen:

• the connection with my heart and my loved ones
• all the skills I already own
• my relationship with my clients and how I can serve them even better
• my relationship with my mastermind groups
• my love affair with pencils, crayons and stencils
• my connection to nature and be grounded
• oh- I know there is so much more.

But the essence is that I have everything within.

If you want to find your "Word of the year" I highly recommend to download the

FREE Mini-E- Book from Christine Kane. It is such a great tool to set intention!

LOvE it!

Question:

Waht can you deepen in the coming week? Please share your answers in the comment below.

I see YOU

Hello Lovelies

I love to paint eyes and I wanted to create a special card today focusing on what we see and what is

sometimes hidden.

There are times we cannot see the full picture of a situation, of our life or our story. But there is always enough beauty around us, even in moments we don't see it *YET*.

This is the front page of my eyes tag.

Now you can lift the flower strip to discover more.

There is always enough!

I want to FOCUS on the beauty.

If you want to read more about F.O.C.U.S I love to invite you to my blogchallenge over here.

I see you,

love & light,

Andrea

My DreAm Tag

I am in the lovely Art-Network called Tag Tuesday. Every week we create one tag to a certain topic.
This week it is the letter D.

How beautiful - D- like DreAm.

I have chosen to create a tag about DreAm- because this is my life pupose. I am a Dreamcoach.

I help creative and heartcentred people to connect with their heart so that they can find their true mission and vision for their life.

And as my blog is called DreAm**heArt**sMart**ArT the choice for todays tag was very clear.

I painted this face some month ago and added the wonderful sentence: YOU CAN TRUST YOUR DREAM.

For my tag I made a copy and printed it out. I then worked with my sewing machine, glued the picture down, stamped some stars on it and enjoyed to continue in the inside.

When I work with clients I know that it is so important to make decisions. What we want in our lifes and what we want to let go of.

I have chosen that my tag is a wonderful reminder- a sweet little magic tag- that reminds me everyday to be the best I can be.

Sending you lots of Love and SWEET DreAms!
Andrea
 

Blogchallenge P.L.A.Y.f.u.L.N.E.s.s.

What a great word- playfulness. As a mother  I am still in this playground world and I am so happy about that. It is  the energy of playing that really lights me up.

I am an idea person and I see many bulbs in my idea heaven. But life sometimes has it‘s moments when I feel stuck and my idea doesn’t want to advance.

That’s  the moment when I sit on the floor of our  living room, and then I start to play. Full attention.

To PLAY with my FULL attention. You see that combination, don’t you?

 

So first, I change the direction of where my attention goes.  This alone shifts my whole energy.

In less than 10 minutes.

Easy stuff!  No need to blame yourself for beeing stuck. Just get out of it, change your attention, do something else…, - play. If you have a dog or a cat then play with them. They will adore you. You will adore them.

And that is our purpose to this world- let’s make it a better place.

 

Start today and share in the comment below:

What brings you to the energie of playfulness?

Blogchallenge on Monday: S.E.L.F.C.a.r.E

Welcome to my blogchallenge! Today's topic is:

SELF-CARE

As a mother and an entrepreneur it is THE topic.

My eyes start to sparkle when I dream about spa days, hanging out in cafés, writing and creating in silence. So I have to plan these huge events (that's what they are for me: huge).

Here is a picture from last week when I have been in New York and my eyes were sparkling.

But I decided not to wait until day X is back, so I put sweet little habits in my every day life.

          For me that means:

• Making myself a really good cappucino with chocolate powder.
• Meditating 10 minutes during the children's nap time.
• Totally unplugging a little bit each day.
• Sitting on the floor, in the grass.
• Taking a shower in the middle of the afternoon.
• Listening to my heart.

To listen to my heart has become the most important self- care tool. It allows me to feel how I feel and not to judge it, to be aware of my deepest wishes, to be fully present in the moment.

With this practice the voice of the inner critic can go away. And honestly, what I see in my coaching- practice: The inner critic is the most common enemy. It stops you from beeing YOU, it stops your power, gets in the way of your passion.

So for today, I want you to listen carefully to your inner voice. How the communication is going. What words you are saying to yourself. Notice it.

This awareness is the first step to a wonderful realtion ship with YOU!

YOU are beautiful!

Please share in the comments below:

What are your insights about the inner critic and please share one self-care tool.


Love & Light, Andrea

Next challenge: 10th december: Playfulness

*********

Herzlich willkommen bei meiner Blogchallenge zum Thema Self-care/ Selbstpflege/ Wohlbefinden Zeit mit dir.

Letzte Woche war ich in New York und wie du auf dem Bild sehen kannst, haben meine Augen richtig geleuchtet.

Meine Augen beginnen beim Gedanken an Wellnesstage, Rumtrödeln in Cafés, in Ruhe kreativ zu sein oder zu schreiben, zu strahlen.

Doch als Mama und Entrepreneurin ist dies eher Luxus und deshalb geniesse ich die kleinen Dinge in meinem Leben.
       
          Mich nährt und erfüllt:

• ein Cappucino mit Schokostreusel
• 10 Minuten meditieren
• Komplett offline zu gehen
• Am Boden oder im Gras zu sitzen
• Eine Dusche zu nehmen mitten am Nachmittag
• Auf mein Herz zu hören

Auf mein Herz zu hören, ist zu meinem wichtigsten Ritual geworden. Dies erlaubt mir, mir über meine Gefühle und Stimmungen klar zu werden und diese so anzunehmen, wie sie sind. Dadurch bin ich auch meinem inneren Kritiker entkommen.
In meiner Coachingtätigkeit stelle immer wieder fest, dass diese kritische Stimme bei vielen Menschen präsent ist. Oftmals wird sie aber gar nicht als solche bemerkt. Doch wenn du dir selbst gegenüber immer wieder kritisch begegnest, sabotierst du dich selber und stehst deinem Glück im Wege.

Für heute möchte ich, dass du dir bewusst Zeit dafür nimmst, zuzuhören, wie du dir selber begegnest. Wie denkst du über dich, wie sprichst du innerlich zu dir? Welche Worte kommen vor?
Nimm es einfach wahr.

Bewusstwerden ist der erste Schritt zu einer positiven Veränderung.

Bitte teile mit uns deine Erfahrungen und Einsichten zum Thema Selbstkritik und verrate uns, was du dir Gutes tust!

Herzlichst Andrea

I have wings. I am flying. I am so happy. With my whole heart I am smiling, I am full of laughter.
It was one of the best decisions in my life, to take that step, to travel so far and to join my mentor Christine Kane!

I am the happiest person on this planet!
This foto was taken from our last day at the Uplevel Your Business retreat.

Two women, sparkling. Infinitely happy!

I am grateful!

Ich habe Flügel. Ich fliege. Ich bin glücklich! Mit meinem ganzem Herzen lache ich!
Es war und ist eine der besten Entscheidungen in meinem Leben, den weiten Weg nach Atlanta auf mich genommen zu haben.

Christine Kane ist meine Mentorin. Ich bin überglücklich über diese Bereicherung!

Diese Aufnahme stammt vom letzten Tag von unserem Uplevel Your Business retreat.

Zwei strahlende Frauen! Endlosschlaufe im Glücklichsein!
Ich bin dankbar!


Andrea

Wonderful Atlanta!

I hardly can't believe it but my dream has come true and I visited Atlanta!
The journey was quite hard! I got evacuated by the police in New York City (JFK), lost my connecting flight to Atlanta, finally got there and had a real challenging taxi-journey (saw the bad guys in the dark night) and arrived 24 hours later in the hotel.

I finally arrived! The Uplevel your business event with Christine Kane started!
And it was such a greta start!
A.W.E.S.O.M.E!!!

I met 200+ Entrepreneurs from all over the world! The room was full of joy and energie! We had londgdays, from 9am to 9pm. I learned so much, we had great discussions- but the most important thing was: we focused and we got much more clearer!
Clarity is key!

Ich fasse es kaum, doch ich war tatsächlich in Atlanta und mein Traum hat sich erfüllt!
Ich hatte eine eher schwere Hinreise mit allem Drum und Dran: Evakuierung im Flughafen von JFK, Anschlussflug nach Atlanta verpasst, mit dem Taxi durch die wohl gefährlichsten Quartiere geheizt und am Ende, nach 24 langen Reisestunden bin im Hotel angekommen!
Ich war da! Und Uplevel your business mit Christine Kane konnte starten!
Und was für ein Start es war!
G.R.A.N.D.I.O.S!!!

200+ Entrepreneurs aus aller Welt haben sich im Saal versammelt!
Von 9.00- 21.00 Uhr wurde gelernt, gesprochen, diskutiert, verworfen- und vor allem eins: fokussiert! Klarheit ist der Schlüssel von allem.

Love, Andrea

Hattest du auch einmal eine "herausfordernde"Reise? Oder falls du auch am Event warst, wäre ich überglücklich, wenn du darüber einen Kommentar hinterlässt!

Please share your story about an exceptional journey in the comment below! Or if you have been to the event, I would love to read about your experience!

FORCE of CALM

Ich habe Lesley in St. Ives kennengelernt und bin so überwältigt von ihrer Arbeit. Nun bin ich über ein neues Bild gestolpert- natürlich nur im übertragenen Sinne!

Es heisst FORCE of CALM
und du findest es hier: http://sea-blue-sky-abstracts.blogspot.ch/2012/07/force-of-calm.html

Als Pantomimin liebe ich die Ruhe und die Stille über alles! Und als Dreamcoach spüre ich auch bei vielen Menschen die Dringlichkeit nach Ruhe!

Welcher Aspekt in deinem Leben sehnt sich JETZT nach Ruhe? Wie gönnst du sie dir?
Bitte teile es im Kommentar!


I met Lesley Ninnes in St. Ives and I am deeply touched by her art and her personality! When I visited her blog I saw her latest painting named FORCE of CALM. Please visit:
http://sea-blue-sky-abstracts.blogspot.ch/2012/07/force-of-calm.html


As a Mime I am absolutly in LOvE with calm, inner peace and silence everywhere. And when I coach people to live their dream I often realize that they do not allow themself to have periods of rest.

So for todays comment, please share which part of your live needs a rest. How do you honour it?

Thank you for beeing here, LOvE Andrea
