This is the first of a seven-part series called Survive to Thrive. A little bit of background on why I chose to take us on this specific journey: in 2022, I'm going to be launching my new school program called the Soul Institute, which is exciting. As I was gathering ideas to put together for course programs, I was going through my book, Detox Nourish Activate, and one section in the Adrenal area, called the Personal Evolution Triad, stood out to me to be expounded upon. Based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs, it takes us along the journey of self mastery.

Survive to Thrive: The Personal Evolution Triad
As a student and teacher for over two decades in the field of alternative medicine, I have come to understand the infinite nature of personal growth in an expansive way. In the writing of our new programs for the launch of our educational platform: The Soul Institute, I have refined the initial concept of the Personal Evolution Triad: Survive to Thrive. Based on the concept of Maslov’s Hierarchy, the Survive to Thrive diagram furthers the understanding of how we can evolve from the primary steps of survival and struggle. When we engage in the vicious cycle of struggle, dis-ease is perpetuated, whether it manifests in our body, mind, emotions or spirit.

Focusing Inward
Welcome to today’s Seeds of the Spirit meditation and journey on focusing inward. Now more than ever, we are called to shift our gaze from the outer experiences and manifestations of life to our inner planes of creation, conscious and subconsciousness patterning to connect, care and commune with our authentic selves in a deeper way. It’s a wonderful time to bring the energy of revitalization, regeneration, and nurturing. One of the focuses today will be to bring this healing light to any part of our physical, emotional, and mental bodies that need support and are calling out for attention, love, and connection. Tremendous power is held in harnessing the present moment with our positive intention for transformation, transmutation and quantum leaping along our own evolutionary spiral.

Assimilating Wisdom
Welcome to today's Seeds of the Spirit meditation on assimilating the wisdom of the past year. Today we will be working with the alchemies of merlinite and sandalwood oil. The end of the year brings a wonderful opportunity for reflection, review and receiving. In truth, it is much more than reviewing the last year. Even that idea is linear in nature. However, from the perspective of earth time, we have markers to pin a moment in time to view from.
Reflecting upon each bounty and win of the year allows us to fully receive the magnificence and vibration of empowerment encoded within. It integrates the experience at our soul level. The same applies for each “blesson” (a lesson that contains an eventual blessing), even if we cannot see the golden nugget of wisdom within the experience yet. Every part of our life, our bodies, minds and spirits that are still calling for our love, our forgiveness, our acceptance and our light are potent areas of reflection that allow us to embrace all of who we are. This is the journey of assimilation.

Alchemy of Better Sleep
Today’s meditation is on the Alchemy of Sleep because whether it's the holiday season, the winter, or the beauty of aging, sleep is something that I relish more and more as time goes on. So how do we get better and deeper sleep more consistently? How do we get sleep that truly renews, rejuvenates, and revitalizes us? How do we find that place of peaceful stillness that quiets the body, mind and spirit to receive the deep nourishment we crave?

Winter Solstice 2021
As we approach this year’s Winter Solstice, we are invited to bring our focus inward to search our soul, spirit, body, mind, and emotions. Where are you called to bring greater self care, love and compassion into your intentional practice and day to day living? This time of deep reflection is rich with opportunities for life enhancing self-discovery.
In this time of shift of the New Earth, we continue to awaken and expand our conscious connection to ourselves and each other. The quantum field invites us to align with the potential of infinite creation. Expanding beyond the 3D matrix of limitation creates a quantum field and draws us into the zero point dimension of limitless potential. We enhance this energy by honoring ourselves and deepening our practice of self care.

Alchemy of Better Mood
This meditation transmits the alchemy of better mood. We can all agree that from the collective perspective, we are at an apex of mood-based discontent. We are facing an increase in overwhelm, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many other mental health challenges. With these influences all around us, how do we consistently improve and balance our mood? How do we tap in and ground into our highest mood regardless of outside circumstances, most of which we cannot control? How do we enhance our creativity and expand our clarity in a consistent and healthy way? How can we experience the joy that is available to us in each moment?

The Alchemy of Quantum Energy
Today’s meditation is on the alchemy of Quantum Energy. We will be tuning in, tuning up, lighting up, and getting activated from an energetic perspective. The quantum field invites us to align with the potential of infinite energy. Expanding beyond the 3D matrix of limitation creates a quantum field and draws us into the zero point field of limitless potential. We enhance this energy by honoring ourselves and deepening our practices of self care.
This meditation will open and activate our points of connection to the frequencies of quantum energy to expand our ability to receive energy and intelligence through our auric field and down to and through our cellular consciousness and our DNA.
The Alchemy of Forgiveness
In this meditation we will be inviting deeper levels of forgiveness in our lives. The other day, my eldest daughter Lilly was sharing some of her favorite quotes by Martin Luther King and I was struck by the profound and timely message of this one in particular. To paraphrase: “When we are devoid of the ability to forgive, we're truly unable to love.” At one time or another, we’ve all held on to the pains of the past, whether that’s heartache, loss, grief, betrayal, or injustice. These unresolved emotions build bitterness, resentment and toxicity for bodies, our minds and our overall well being. And yet, we have the power to set ourselves free. When we bring our focus of forgiveness inward and illuminate the voice of the harsh inner critic, we lighten and enlighten ourselves. That inner healing balm of forgiveness, acceptance and embrace opens our hearts for greater experiences of love and compassion for ourselves as well as others.

The Alchemy of Appreciation
Where are you called to be kinder and more appreciative of yourself? Where can you create space for compassionate self care? It’s important to bring our focus inward and to embrace our emotions and all of the footsteps of our journey that have brought us here. Having compassion and forgiveness for ourselves lends us more bandwidth to appreciate everything and everyone we come into contact with in our lives, even if those things don't always seem like blessings.

The Alchemy Release
The alchemy of Release is all about embracing life. For most of us, it is effortless to enjoy life when we are feeling free and joyful, when we have something exciting to look forward to, or when new love is in the air. It is equally common that in seasons of unpleasant experiences and emotions, we find ourselves resisting, avoiding, talking down to, and turning away from what life is presenting. These moments of discomfort are too part of life in its fullness. Opportunities call out to us for self love, support, healing, kindness, and a compassionate, warm embrace so that we may return back to the inner sunny days. As we embrace the entirety of our experience for exactly what and how it is, the places that are held in pain, grief, or any amount of suffering have room to surface and release, paving the way for us to experience days filled with more freedom, joy, love, and harmony.

DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Activate
DNA Healing Series: Activate the Heart. After cleansing and nourishing our heart centers, we are now ready to activate our life force, align with our soul purpose and thrive into new arenas of passion and purpose.
Today in particular, as we activate our hearts and high heart, aligning with our connection to the cosmic heart of the multiverse, we’re going to call in sacred space. And we’ll align with our connection to the heartbeat of Mother Earth.
DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Nourish
We’re all being called to find deeper ways to nourish ourselves, and the truth is that when we nourish ourselves, we strengthen our entire being. We expand our emotional intelligence, our emotional resilience, and our stress response. We’re able to engage with ourselves in a way that is really honoring, allowing us to deepen our relationship with compassion, self-acceptance, and forgiveness. All of these aspects are connected to the heart. Every relationship that we have is a direct reflection of our relationship with ourselves. When we’re working with this meditation, frequency and nourishment, we will be infusing them with pink light and other nourishing aspects.
Invoke the Alchemy of Goddess Hecate All Hallows’ Eve
All Hallows’ Eve marks a time of celebration of life and a personal reflection and assimilation of the year gone by. Since the veil between the realms is thin, it offers a mystical time for intentional creation.
Each aspect of the Divine Feminine offers a specific healing and transmission of empowerment. In the colder months, we look to Goddess Hecate to infuse us with new levels of strength, clarity and abundance. As the leaves change and begin to fall, the cooler weather invigorates our ability to gaze inward. Often depicted in triple form, holding a pair of torches, the Greek Goddess Hecate is a Light Leader with the ability to assist us in transmuting and bridging the darkness of the shadow side, or lower self, which exists in us all. Embracing our shadow nature allows our light to burn more brightly, illuminating our highest path of purpose and passion.

DNA Healing Level Series: Heart Detox
Detoxing the heart invites us to release all that no longer serves the truth of who we are. We must let go of all that stands in the way of experiencing the fullness of our sacred human hearts and love for ourselves as well as love for another. When we’re talking about the heart, this is our center for relations. All of our relational cords are held here. It is the gateway to the astral realm. So many of our previous lifetimes of unresolved frequencies and emotions are held in this area as well. Detoxing the heart gives us a wonderful opportunity to go inward, and in a very essential way, release anything that we’re holding onto that is heavy, and that isn’t congruent with the magnitude of our magnificence.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Activate
After last week’s meditations designed to detox and nourish the brain, we are now ready for activation! I tend to awake with inspiration and guidance for the day’s projects. Today, upon waking I was surrounded by flowers. Ultimately unless a flower is open, it can't fully engage with life, and it certainly can't offer its beautiful aroma. A closed flower can't interchange with the bees or hummingbirds to create and expand life. Additionally, it can't share its beauty and sacred geometry. I think as humans we are very similar in that way. Until we're wholly open, we can't engage with life fully to co-create with all of the magnificent wonders and elements of the natural world.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Nourish
Today’s meditation is on nourishing the brain. This healing is such an important aspect of not only our healing journey, but also balancing our brain chemistry, and creating the emotional and spiritual resilience that we are being called to do right now. Our overarching intention for this meditation is to marinate the brain in love because when our brain is nourished, our entire body, being and every cell is nourished.

DNA Healing Level Series: Brain Detox
Today, we continue our series on detoxing, nourishing, and activating. We will be balancing the nervous system with the brain detox meditation. Interestingly enough, I got home on Sunday from my trip to New Jersey and New York City, and Monday morning I was feeling really sluggish. The first oil I picked up was the brain detox, and then I realized I was set to talk about detoxing the brain this week. This formula was especially helpful coming from such a tangible energy of anxiety in this area that has experienced some of the worst of COVID and holds many waves of PTSD energy held from the trauma of this experience. So, our conversation about detoxing the brain is very timely from a perspective of clearing patterns and energy of fear, anxiety, stress and trauma.
