			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>Jumpstart your child&#8217;s growth and development to his/her fullest potential.</strong></h3>
<p>Knowing your life purpose is the most important gift you can give yourself. It gives you direction and focus, gives your life more fulfillment and meaning, increases your happiness and enthusiasm. When we know our life purpose, we don&#8217;t wander around our lives wondering what we should &#8220;do&#8221; or who we should &#8220;be&#8221;. Life is more easy, effortless and enjoyable &#8211; and we can all use more of that in our lives!</p>
<p>In learning our life purpose, we also learn about the flip side of the coin: life lessons. When you know what lessons you are here to experience and learn from, you can approach them in a conscious manner. It becomes quicker and easier &#8211; and we get out of the endless repetition of these experiences because we are aware of them. Life ceases to be an endless struggle, and is filled with greater joy and meaning.</p>
<p>Can you imagine what it would have been like for you as a child if your parents knew your life purpose and life lessons? Can you imagine how much of a head start you would&#8217;ve had in life if you had received the support and encouragement you needed as a child. So, imagine the enormous benefits your child will have if you know his/her life purpose and are able to support and encourage her/him from the beginning!<br />
<strong>Outside of bringing your beautiful child into this world, this is THE greatest gift you can give him/her!</strong></p>
<p>If you have wondered about your own life purpose and searched online, you will have found dozens of websites. While the content may be a bit different, you will have found that every single one is a variation of journalling the answers to a series of thought provoking questions. They may, like Steve Pavlina&#8217;s method, take 20 minutes, or they may take months or even years. And often, you will end up with something sort of nebulous. A vague direction that seems to apply to you, at least at this point in your life. If you really would have liked something accurate, real, lifelong, concrete and specific, that was quick, painless and, for once, didn&#8217;t involve journalling, please feel free to order a <a href="http://www.simplydivinelife.com/elements-of-success/purpose/" target="_blank">Life Purpose Consultation</a> for yourself!</p>
<p>Back to your child though, you never see anything about your child&#8217;s life purpose, do you? When does life purpose kick in? When you are 18? 30? No! Your life purpose and life lessons are determined &#8211; by you &#8211; before you even &#8220;get here&#8221;. We are just not conscious of it, so we don&#8217;t remember.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.yourchildslifepurpose.com/blog/?page_id=30" target="_blank">Your Child&#8217;s Life Purpose process</a> does not require your child to be old enough to hold a crayon! Never mind be able to write, or especially to answer questions about what they &#8216;loved to do as a child&#8217;, or if they never had to work again &#8211; with a million dollars in the bank! That stuff is strictly for adults. Your Child&#8217;s Life Purpose process can be done with children as young as 3 months of age.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of knowing your child&#8217;s life purpose? Do you wish that your parents had known and supported you in your life purpose as a child? Please leave your comments!</strong></p>
<p>Want to know more about <strong><a href="http://www.yourchildslifepurpose.com/blog/?page_id=30" target="_blank">Your Child&#8217;s Life Purpose</a></strong> and the process?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The two keys to living a simply divine life.</strong><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Love, joy and living your life purpose: a channelled blog post.</strong></p>
<p>I have been channelling spirit guides professionally for a couple of years now, but recently have delved into learning formal “trance” channelling. I have a wonderful high-level guide named Charisse. (I thought this was such a pretty and unusual name – so I looked it up and it means grace and kindness. She certainly embodies both qualities!).</p>
<p>So, I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce you to her with some of what she has told me. In our channelling sessions, I ask her questions of a personal nature as well as some of a universal nature. I also ask her what subject she would like to talk about – what messages she would like to get out to the world through me. This post is from one of those sessions. <strong>This post is about love and joy, and how this relates to living your life purpose…</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong>“Love is THE greatest thing. The saying “love makes the world go ‘round” is so true, but not in the sense of simply a human romantic sense, I am talking about “true love”. True love, universal love, is UNCONDITIONAL. It is not necessarily between two adults or even from parent to child. It goes well beyond.</p>
<p>Can you imagine what the world would be like if it was filled with – if everyone expressed – true love? It would be paradise! And so joyful! This is what the energy is like in the higher spiritual planes. Part of what you are here for in this incarnation is to experience love, to give and receive love. This incarnation, with its polarity, allows you to feel love against its opposite. It allows for a richer experience of what love truly is. If we are loving in all that we do and encourage others to be the same, and the more loving we can be to, and with, each other, the happier, easier and better life will be. <strong>Love is the surest path to joy</strong>.</p>
<p>So, <strong>embodying love is the #1 key to living a simply divine life</strong>. (Yeah, I know – blatant plug. But in all seriousness she DID say it! <img src='http://www.simplydivinelife.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' /> ).</p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>Key #2 is doing and being what brings you joy and brings you aliveness</strong>, for that is the only way that you can truly live. <a href="http://www.simplydivinelife.com/tools/intuitive-development/" target="_blank">Listen to the inspiration that whispers to your soul and follow that inspiration!</a></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">What is joy?</span></strong></p>
<p> <img class="aligncenter" title="Jumping For Joy; Creative Commons Lic. by Jody McNary" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2492/3675738281_76d28df697_o.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="658" /><br />
Joy is a state of complete connection with Source. It is having that channel to your higher self and Source completely and wide open. It is a beautiful state of flow of energy and consciousness, of the highest connection. <strong>Joy is your soul fulfilling itself.</strong></p>
<p>One connection that many don’t understand is that self love is also universal love. You are a part of Source – a child of God. When you love yourself, you also love and are connected to Source. To love yourself is to love Source. You are NOT separate.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Please pay attention to the following sentence – it is SO important! Too many people here on the Earth plane] <strong>do not follow their joy because they do not love themselves enough to do it</strong>, and thus, too many people have regrets at the end of their lives. Too many people “play it safe” &#8211; but it’s not about taking risks. It’s about being connected. People are so disconnected [from Source, from their higher selves, from joy and love] and that is the major cause of strive and struggle. <strong>We need to reconnect with love, joy and aliveness</strong>. Then it makes learning life lessons an easy, beautiful experience instead of one of harshness and hardship. People have a mistaken sense of nobility when it comes to martyrdom, with suffering. This world would be filled with so much more light than it is now, beauty aside, if we lived in a connectedness with joy and love.”</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Take some time every day this week to get quiet. Place one hand over your heart and one on your belly, and ask your soul, your higher self, how you can embody love to a greater degree. Ask also how you can connect more to joy and to yourself. Ask also, how you can best honour and love yourself. It is okay to love yourself – you are worthy.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Charisse and I would love to hear any comments you may have! Please leave your comments below.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">To your joy and success!</p>
<p>Blessings,<br />
Charisse (and Keena)<br />
PS: When you do this exercise, you can also ask your higher self what your life purpose is. It will tell you!<br />

<p>Now is the time of year when people do their spring cleaning.  Some people love it and some hate it (me!), but it is time to be rid of the accumulated dirt and clutter from winter and let in the fresh, sweet air of spring.</p>
<p>Why does this feel so cathartic for people? While it has much to do with the health benefits of cleaning &#8211; getting rid of dust and pet dander, it also has much to do with energy balance and flow. Our universe is comprised of energy, that which we can see &#8211; the material stuff around us &#8211; and that which we can&#8217;t &#8211; microwaves, ultraviolet light, etc., as well as the energy bodies of living things.</p>
<p>Energy flows constantly, always changing form and location. Though we often resist change &#8211; which is obviously a form of energy flow, it is this very thing that signals to us something new, something fresh &#8211; and that is something we desire. While in our distant past new and fresh was important for our survival &#8211; as in fresh food and water, it continues on as a primal craving for the latest fashions, new technology, exotic food, and exciting new ways of thinking.</p>
<p>We clear out the old to make room for the new. New seasons, especially spring, inspire us to get rid of old, stale energy/air/things to make room for new energy. Winter is a time of stillness and death, while spring brings forth new life. How can you not be inspired to get that which is associated with death and stagnation out of your home?!</p>
<p>As you go about clearing your environmental spaces &#8211; your home and your yard, I would also like you to think about what other energetic spaces also need clearing. Everything is connected, and while environmental clearing affects all of our energy bodies, it may not be sufficient to leave it at that.</p>
<p>There are 4 basic energetic levels &#8211; environmental (your physical environment), physical (your body), mental-emotional (your mind and emotions) and the soul. Clearing out old, stale energies at all levels is important for growth and rejuvenation. It affects how we feel physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually/psychically. If any one level is cleared we feel better, if they are all cleared we feel great! And, believe it or not,  it is the foundation of all that we are able to do. The better we feel, the more power we have, the more we can create!</p>
<p>Namaste,</p>
<p>Keena</p>

<p><span style="color: #808080;">Originally published Monday, February 2, 2009</span></p>
<p>The world is a place of energy &#8211; even to the smallest particle of matter. Every place and everything has an energetic signature, and can absorb and emit these energies into the environment around them for a very long time. The same is true of people. Generally speaking, people can tend to be positive or negative, and we transmit our energies to places we live in and objects we own. </p>
<p>Negative people are everywhere and have been throughout history. <strong>When we acquire property and objects that have been associated with negative people, these things emit negative energy back into our environment.</strong> Houses and yards, apartments, businesses, vehicles, furniture &#8211; especially antiques, jewellery &#8211; all of these and more &#8211; anything we buy, rent, or even borrow can have negative, disruptive energy associated with it.</p>
<p>Consider the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Do you feel uncomfortable when you walk into your house? Do certain areas of your home or workplace seem dark and heavy despite the sunny window and cheery decor?</li>
<li>Do you get headaches or feel ill when you spend too much time in your house or workplace?</li>
<li>Does maintaining order and organization in your home or office seem a repetitive, onerous chore?</li>
<li>Do things in your home continuously disappear or are moved from where you left them?</li>
<li>Are things in your home or vehicle constantly breaking down, without reason (i.e., it&#8217;s new or very well maintained)?</li>
<li>Does no one sit in that beautiful antique chair? Why is it you never want to wear your great grandmother&#8217;s necklace?</li>
<li>Do you frequent yard sales? Do you love antiques?</li>
<li>Do you own an older home? Or do you rent your place? Do you have a business with a lot of traffic?</li>
<li>Do you watch the news?! (When was the last time you saw something positive on the news?)</li>
<li>Is your house on the market but just not selling?</li>
<li>Is your workplace really filled with upbeat, cheerful, positive people all the time? (Not likely!).</li>
</ul>
<p>Negative energy is everywhere! <em>If you have not had your property cleared and realigned then you may have <span style="text-decoration: underline;">generations </span>of negative energy lurking in your home or workplace.</em> If you would like to have your home and property, as well as any other objects, <strong>properly cleared and realigned with positive energy</strong>, please go ahead and order a Property Realignment Consultation.  This clearing will also help <strong>protect</strong> your home, property and personal objects from new infestation by negative energy.</p>
<p><span style="color: #993366;">April 28, 2010: <strong>Please note that the Property Realignment is now included, if necessary, as part of your &#8220;total package&#8221; <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="http://www.careerrealignment.com/tools/consultation/akashic-records-consultation/">Akashic Records Consultation</a></span>.</strong></span></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Originally published Tuesday, January 6, 2009</span></p>
<p><strong>Happy New Year! </strong></p>
<p><strong>Blessings for a joyous, fulfilling, and prosperous 2009!</strong></p>
<p>As the new year begins, we often turn our thoughts to our resolutions &#8211; many of them health-related.  Our natural state of being is vibrant and joyous, which you may not be feeling after the holidays. Stress, too much food and drink and odd schedules wreak havoc with our natural state. The new year is time to put the balance back in our lives. Whenever you feel run down, it&#8217;s time to restore and re-align not only our physical bodies, but also our mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. Here&#8217;s how!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Physical</span>: Most people are aware of how to take care of their physical bodies when they get sick &#8211; rest, plenty of clear fluids, including herbal infusions, vitamins &#8211; especially C, and nutritious foods.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Mental and Emotional</span>: These 2 are often tied together as our thoughts create our emotional states. If we are feeling run-down, it is time to take an inventory of our latest thoughts, beliefs and behaviour patterns. Often times stress-related illness is caused by not honouring our true selves &#8211; by not being authentic. We do what others want and expect of us. We have an expectation of ourselves to be perfect. We &#8220;should&#8221; ourselves into illness and depression. We envelope ourselves in the chains  of the culture of bigger, better, faster, more.</p>
<p><strong>The cure: ground, listen and follow</strong>.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Ground</span> -  take a walk, preferably in nature, to clear your head and feel the solidity of the earth below you. If you can&#8217;t do that &#8211; and you&#8217;re not too sick, do some kind of other physical exercise &#8211; stretch, bike, run, swim, yoga, tai chi &#8211; whatever appeals to you at that moment. </p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Then listen</span> &#8211; to your heart, your soul, your intuition, your higher self. Sit quietly for a few minutes, and breathe &#8211; deeply at first, then naturally. Focus on your breath and then go within, to the center of your self. You <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">know</span></em> what you want.  You <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">know</span></em> what you need.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Then &#8211; follow</span> your heart. This is KEY: when you follow your heart, you are happy, and when you are happy, you are healthy. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">Spiritually</span>: Devote some time to your own spiritual practice, whatever that may be &#8211; meditation, prayer, service to others, gratitude, simplicity, mindfulness, and/or spending time in nature.  Making others happy as a form of spiritual practice is wonderful, but remember that in case of an impending crash &#8211; the oxygen mask goes on YOU first! The energy of perfect health is always available to us. We just need to re-align ourselves with that energy.  Honour yourself. Live authentically. Be happy.  </p>
<p>Blessings of peace and passion, joy and abundance!</p>
