Exhilarated Lifestyle: Conscious Choices for Living Well

• What defines Polyphenol rich Extra Virgin Olive Oil?
• How is it rated?
• What are the health benefits?
• How do I use it?
• How do I  care for it?
• What do I look for to buy it?

One of the most historically revered foods for health is extra virgin olive oil. Gone are the latter days of commanding Nature. More and more growers revere and work with Nature in an act of love and learning. The reward is a juice (in actuality) rich in health protective polyphenols. But it all begins with a tender blossom of promise.

When  you feel you are making too much lemonade out of life's lemons, it  could just be that your habitual thoughts make you a lemon magnet. There  is a quick remedy to snap out of it.

Death is a lover of LIFE. The same lover that is present at our birth.  The circuit is already complete. Our exit is unwritten and what happens  between Birth and Death is our Purpose.  In this excerpt from my book Exhilarated Life, I explore the truth that  our life purpose is to be all that we can be. The randomness of the conspiring elements of our biological makeup point to the unique and  precious contribution we have to the world.   The correct context for that deep understanding, we must embrace the  fact of our death with the same acceptance of our birth.

Excerpt from my book Exhilarated Life: Discovering Inner Happiness

In the theme of redemption of this chapter from my book Exhilarated Life, I question the difference whether we redeem ourselves to an outside  authority or an inner divinity?

Excerpt from my book Exhilarated Life: Discovering Inner Happiness

In  this first of three parts from my book Exhilarated Life, I wonder how  we allot portions of happiness in our life. Is it just a memory from  childhood, a reward for good behavior or the defining measure of our  life?

There  is a joke that goes, a man said to an unhappy young woman, "Cheer up,  things could be worse." So she cheered up and sure enough, things got  worse. In part 2 of 3 chapters from my book Exhilarated Life, I share  that 'worse' is another way of calling for a deeper dive into a life  lesson. And it helps to keep a sense of humor.

Soul Journey - Themes and Healing   

Soul journeys are to better understand human themes, work out karmic themes with family and intimate relationships. We often share themes with other family members -- some play "goodies" , some play "baddies". With this perspective, we can step away from the shame and blame cycle. The journey is for growth, often triggered by conflict.  Once we recognize these spiritual stepping stones to self-love and self-awareness through forgiving ourselves and others, life becomes more lighthearted and playful.  

Exercise: Sound healing using our voices to dissolve stuck emotions in the body.

Understanding Soul Journeys  

The inner journey of life is a never ending adventure of love and discovery of all we might be. Our map is often through the minefield of relationships. The idea is that we have made agreements with fellow souls, made contracts to help each other expand spiritually.   There can be challenges and emotional responses – it's important to express emotions, feel the feelings rather than suppress them. And finally to take the nugget of the lesson and release what no longer serves us.  

Exercise: Open the heart, the "seat of the soul" with breathing and toning with the power of our voices.

Opening to Our Soul Self  

Self-Love and Self-Actualization rise up in the expression of our Soul's longing. We are being guided - but are we listening? Do we know how?  

"COVID Chrysalis" - the tightness of continued uncertainty is leading many to a new version of self. It's a reflective time to reconsider values,  priorities and to hear the whisper within that has been hushed by our busy lives.   We have the opportunity to open to our soul self, find the inner voice, discern between Ego and Soul voices. They are both necessary but or different functions. Sometimes, this get confused.  Here we take a moment to focus on our hearts to form Soul connection, and meditate on our hearts.
