Ditch Your Security Blanket, Enhance Your Innergy
Filed Under Health, Whatever, Energized Entrepreneur, Wealth, Well-Being | Leave a Comment
We all have security blanets. Our own version of a binky that we hold dear, or just hold onto and may not be conscious of why we’re holding onto it. Your security blanky may be a job, material possessions, magazines, clothing, furniture, ways of thinking, certain behaviors, specific meals or foods, habits or perceptions about who you are and what you do or don’t do or what you like and don’t like.
Sometimes we need to ditch our binky and have the courage to move through life without that old net that doesn’t necessarily serve us or comfort us any more. The conversations I’ve been having with friends in transition lately - that includes conversations with myself - seem to turn up a few themes. One of the themes is: that which we most coveted once upon a time is now a burden. Another theme is that we are tired of some of our old ways and are itching for a change. Either a change of pace, a change of scenery, a change of challenge, or a change of lifestyle or partner or whatever. We are just itching to ditch our old ways and break free of our comfort zones. As my colleague Annette announced after she went skydiving, “we need to foster eccentricity”!
I feel like goldilocks and the four climates. In the past few years I’ve moved from the East coast to the desert, to the mountains and now to the beaches of the West coast. You won’t know if you don’t go…. so I had to experience all the zones to find one just right. I realized I didn’t want to live in a harsh climate. Along with all those moves came lots of purging and re-discovery of what matters. Sometimes it just isn’t time to let go. Give it another move and a few thousand dollars spent in schlepping stuff around, and you may change your mind about just how important something is in your life and you’ll soon decide to unload it.
My security blankets as it turned out were the European antiques I brought back from my decade spent overseas. I realized after 20 years with them, that they no longer represented who I was now. Other comfort items were my books and articles I’d collected over the years in the journey to becoming an Energy Expert. Each move I gave about around 50 books. This move it was 200. It was a challenge to give away information at first. I would be flying solo if I needed to write a book or article without backup material. Once I decided I’ve absorbed enough info and that it was enough, it was easy to let go. I also gave away most of my dishes, crystal, furniture and all the stuff I collected over the years that didn’t suit my creatively cool, casual simplistic lifestyle. If it doesn’t fit into that category, it’s outta here. What doesn’t fit your style any more? What are you still holding onto that isn’t who you are today? Just like old hairstyles, old home styles, work styles, communication styles, clothing styles etc need to be updated as we grow and change.
What ensued is that I feel much more innergized, lighter, unencumbered, able to breathe easier and move freer in my space that is congruent with who I am now and not who I was when I acquired all that stuff. I jettisoned about two-thirds of my belongings in the last 2 moves and now out goes much of the rest of it except what is functional and I’m just fine with that. Know when there is a time and a place to be able to let go of your “stuff”. Sometimes it’s too early to let it go. You will know when things become a burden, or at least don’t bring you joy or offer something positive in your life - your work, the people around you, your way of moving through the world. Take a good look at all the security blankets you have in your life. Is it time to let go of some of them and run through the world without clinging onto something that doesn’t suit you any more?

Energizing Crystal Jewelry & Power Pendants
Filed Under Health, Whatever, Wealth, Well-Being | 2 Comments
Traveling around the country meeting amazing people has brought me to the keepers of Energizing Crystal Jewelry, Donny Lobree and Kirk Prine. Donny and Kirk offer the most incredible, energetic jewelry I’ve ever encountered. It truly is jewelry with a presence of power. View their beauty and soon you’ll be able to hear their beauty from their website .
Besides being spectacularly beautiful, I’ve witnessed countless people testify the changes in their energy, their feelings, their way of moving through the world after wearing one of the pendants, rings or earrings. Statements about pains going away, headaches not recurring, more confidence and accounts of attracting great things are heard through the hallways at the events where I’ve been blessed with working side by side with Kirk and Donny.
If you want to experience energy at a different level, you’ve got to try one of these exquisite pieces. Each piece comes with an explanation of what each crystal in that piece heals or supports. Read about each piece’s story from their website. These limited edition pieces are made in Bali and I’ll let Donny’s words describe their essence.
Shankari, the designer of these Drops of Light, tells us she “hears” colors and shapes as harmonies. In fact, she is one of the few people on the planet with that capacity.
Out of the various “harmonies” she hears, a particular design for a piece of jewelry is born. Then her master craftsmen working at her palace on the island of Bali take over. After they do their daily ritual of yoga and meditation, they begin work on realizing Shankari’s designs.
As you can see, each step of the way is carried out with great intention and care.
All pieces are handmade and set in silver. Each design is a limited edition—-only 25 or so are produced for the entire world. Once a design is sold out, it is gone, never to be repeated. The pieces you see on our site are generally available in quantities of one only. The remaining pieces of a given design go to Shankari’s other markets in Asia, Europe and Australia.
These pieces are truly Objects of Power. People stop me at least a couple times a day to ask about the Shankari pendant I wear. Twice, cars have stopped my partner, Kirk Prine, while he was walking down the street in our hometown of San Francisco to ask him about the Shankari Ohm pendant he wears.
I came to realize I was being called to be a steward for these Points of Light.
I am are grateful to my teacher and friend, Shankari, for allowing us to do this work. I feel my mission is to place these Activators of Consciousness into the hands of those who will contribute to healing our planet.
And so it gives me great pleasure to offer these Talismans of Power to you.
May we be in support of your Mission,
Donny
