Not everyone knows how to relax. For some, attempting to sit still, relax and enjoy a mindless activity like TV is absolutely anxiety inducing. The list of what we aren’t accomplishing is running through our minds and the fear of being unloveable, not valued, and useless rises within us causing anxiety and panic.

Know Thyself to Create a Life you Adore

My life has been backed by spirituality, hope and love for as long as I can remember. Sitting by a lake in the Adirondack mountains, I watched the beauty of the sun reflecting off the ripples of the water and experienced deep peace and connection with self. This began my journey into meditation.

This journey continued as I learned ways to choose love over fear, live in harmony with the earth and through Reiki I learned to live in alignment with the Universe.

This combination of personal awareness, spirituality, the web of life, gratitude, devotion, love instead of fear or anger and kindness has led me to Know Thyself. I have spent years working with myself and others to create lives we adore using this wisdom.

The journey to Know Thyself is a lifelong commitment to yourself. When you are committed to yourself and truly knowing that person, then you can create a life that you adore.
