I’m SO GLAD that I decided to drop out and pursue a lifestyle and career that truly aligned with my heart, even in the midst of adversity. Now it took a while to sort of decondition myself from the pressure of society to figure out what school/career I wanted to pursue. I remember battling with this thinking for YEARS, around age 19 to 21 was the most challenging! I always felt like there was something wrong with me and I was less than because I wasn’t in school like most of my other peers, and still didn’t have a clear direction. However, I noticed myself becoming more and more interested in “alternative,” holistic, spiritual ways of thinking, so I pursued this. I found the more I plugged myself into these passions (constantly reading, going to meetup groups to connect with like-minds, taking courses in holistic, “alternative” modalities) the more *relaxed* I became about “having to figure it all out.” I remember back around age 22, when I was really getting into quantum physics and quantum biofeedback, a boyfriend of mine at the time, as well as some extended family members did everything in their power to sway me in another direction. “You’ll never get a client doing that rubbish.” “You should go to a real school and then get a real job.” Even with so many people trying to convince me that I was on the wrong path, and basically NUTS, I was SO adamant that I was on the best path for me, because IT FELT SO DAMN GOOD!!!! I was SOO excited about everything I was researching/doing, and knew that I needed to keep immersing myself in these passions!!!

Throughout my early 20′s, I worked as a nanny, waitress, and model, but found that in every spare moment I had, I would be drawn to reading books about holistic health, wellness, quantum physics, and all things spiritual and esoteric. I found myself LIGHT UP every time I talked about these subjects and found that everywhere I went, I would magnetically attract people who would resonate with my words and be inspired greatly by my presence. : )

To this day, I continue to follow my heart and continue to experience the most incredibly rewarding, enriching, exciting life!!! : ) Now, I’m not saying that following your heart is easy, because stepping outside of the norm and outside of your comfort zone can be scary, messy, and challenging! You quite often come face to face with your biggest fears! In my life, there were and will continue to be small and big bumps in the road, but because I decide to simply *trust* in myself and the Universe (that it always has my back) I’ve pulled through every challenge I encountered, manifested so many beautifully, expansive experiences, and have gotten myself to the place I am today.

My overall message to everyone: Listen to your inner callings, what lights you up and makes you come alive!!! : ) Pursue these things and don’t give up just because you’re not seeing big results right away! It took me years of reading, studying, deconditioning, deep introspective work and expanding my comfort zone, followed by 2.5 years of making youtube videos, continual and regular effort/action on my part, and a continual stretching of my comfort zone before I had a steady client base online and a lifestyle that aligned with my heart’s true desires.

When you see others that are living their dreams, make sure you don’t begrudge them in any way because you never know the hurdles and work people have endured to get to where they are today. Also, that kind of energy *instantly* puts you out of alignment from your source, power, and creative potential. We are ALL innately capable of overcoming any challenge and manifesting the life of our dreams, however it takes a lot of courage and strength to actually listen to and *take action* on those callings. You can do it!!! If I can do it, you can do it!!! : )

It’s NEVER too late to say YES to your heart’s true callings!!! Remember, it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Where attention goes, energy flows. Meet the Universe half way by simply spending a little time every day immersing yourself in those passions and take some action! When you do this the Universe will step in and orchestrate SO MUCH MAGIC on your behalf, that you’ll be wondering, “OMG! OMG! WHY DIDN’T I DO THIS SOONER?!?!” : )

Remember, you are worthy! You are valuable! You are blessed! You are the unlimited potential of creation! You are an artist of love and light! *Trust* in your infinite light! You *will* manifest your divine purpose as long as you listen to and take action on your inner callings and see love as your guide, not fear!

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive!!”

In love, light & TRUST in your heart’s callings!!! : )

I have been *living* to take people to Moraine Lake, Lake Louise, and Emerald Lake ever since I took a roadtrip to these incredible places last September with a friend of mine. I remember the first time I got out of the car, and started to walk towards Moraine Lake- I couldn’t contain my awe and amazement!!! I felt like I was walking into a fantasy movie, and all that could come out of my mouth, over and over again was, “OMG! OMG! OHHHH MYYYYY GOOOOODDD!” Not only is the scenery in the rockies drop dead gorgeous,  but I found the energy to be extremely high vibrational, so much so that I felt I was floating on a bliss cloud the whole time I was there, yet so rooted in the core of Mother Earth at the same time, if that makes sense. I swear, it’s a total vortex in that entire region! I remember hiking around Emerald Lake (in Yoho National Park) and came across some fresh glacier spring water. Not only did it taste absolutely divine, but I literally felt my entire body buzzing with this powerful, high vibrational energy. Just WOW!!! I felt so energized after drinking that incredible water, that I literally ran up these mountain trails for hours!!! I could go on and on about how amazing these places are, but words cannot do them justice. The bottom line is that I am absolutely THRILLED to have the opportunity to bring a group of beautiful, kindred spirits to these incredible places!!! Check out the photos below so you will have an idea of the kind of scenery you’ll be immersed in…It’s a photographer’s heaven by the way ; )

Price/ Arrival/ Departure: $1888 Canadian, which excludes flight cost, but includes pick-up and drop-off at the airport, beautiful lodging surrounded by stunning mountains, all delicious organic vegan & raw vegan food, personal energy healing sessions, energy healing and qigong classes, sound healing, raw food culinary classes with Leija, scenic road trips to Yoho National Park, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake and the Purcell Mountains, which are the mountains the retreat house is located near. If you’re flying in, you want to fly into the Calgary International Airport (YYC). I will be picking up my retreat attendees from the airport around noon on Tuesday, July 30th and dropping everyone off the afternoon of Tuesday, August 6th. The reason I picked Tuesday to Tuesday is because through my years of traveling, I’ve always noticed that I find the cheapest flights on Tuesdays. If you’re flying in, it would be best to find a flight that arrives somewhere around 11 am to 12 pm on July 30th and one that departs around 5 pm or later on Aug. 6th.

Attendees are required to be in good shape physically as we will be doing some hiking- Nothing too intense (mostly trails that are flat with a few inclines here and there) but there will be a few full day outings where we may be hiking anywhere from 4 to 6 hrs (with breaks here and there). We’ll have to go with the flow.

I will require a $1000 deposit to secure your spot. The rest of the payment and travel arrangements can be discussed via email/skype if you are serious about attending. I will only be hosting 10 people for this retreat (not including my beautiful sisters & other healer friends that will be helping/teaching). I will be accepting people on a first come first serve basis, however because I want everyone to have an incredible time, I would like to skype with everyone serious about coming, to make sure that we resonate…since we’ll be spending so much time together. : ) These retreats are more than about simply being immersed in picturesque nature, learning new tools for self-development and empowerment, they are about bonding with what I like to call soul family or soul tribe, and forming life long friendships with these kindred spirits…Yay!!!

Here’s a video featuring some of the beautiful souls from the very first retreat I hosted last summer in beautiful British Columbia (awww I love these people…we’re still all so connected to this day):

WARNING: THE ENERGY IN THE ROCKIES IS SO HIGH VIBRATIONAL THAT IT MAY CAUSE EXTREME BLISS, DANCE-HIKING AND INCREDIBLE SYNCHRONICITIES, AS SEEN IN THE VIDEO BELOW! ; )

In my intuitive culinary class, you’ll see firsthand how I create some of my rawgasmic creations, will learn the basics of intuitive food prep/cooking/”uncooking” and actually have the opportunity to prepare some intuitive rawgasmic creations yourself…and of course devour them after! : )

My raw vegan zucchini “pasta” with a zesty marinara sauce and cashew herb “cheese.”

My raw vegan raspberry banana coconut cream cacao ice cream/ smoothie with a yummy goji berry, coconut, almond, cacao nib, coconut palm sugar topping.

My raw vegan pizza with a flax veggie crust, pesto sauce, nacho “cheese” sauce, tomato, basil kale chips, red onion, red pepper & sweet orange pepper.

Feel free to send me an email if you have any more questions, and/or are interested in securing your spot. I will do my best to get back to you as soon as I can. :  )

Love, Light & Squeeshie Heart Hugs!!!
Leija

PS. Here’s an outstanding testimonial from an amazing young woman named Elizabeth. She attended one of the previous retreats I hosted with a beautiful soul named Charis. It’s long, but very inspiring and definitely worth the read if you’re considering coming to this retreat!

Bliss Out Retreat on Mount Shasta

First, let me speak about some of the more subtle and unseen aspects of the retreat: The foundation of the retreat was based on Source because everything came together on it’s own. It was as if I had a divine appointment [with angels <3] which I wasn’t consciously aware of until arriving. I guess it’s no surprise that we all had incredible synchronicity which brought us there. I feel like a space was created for each individual to have a very personal journey with themselves while simultaneously also being able to grow and receive with the group as a whole.

Leija was a guide rather than someone telling us “what to do”. I feel like she comes from an authentic place and you can trust that whatever she will bring to the table will be coming from her heart [especially her yum creations! More on that later.] The atmosphere that was created, was one of safety and openness. Which made it a safe place to let the places in me which were fearful, hurt, and vulnerable come to the surface. I was able to really express those feelings during the sweat lodge, not only sweating but shouting out all those buried feelings and energies. Then, after being cleansed, I experienced tremendous healing from the inside out, in such a delicious and loving way. With that, a new sense of trust in the Universe was created within me.

Leija speaks without words, the energy that she sends out when you are around her is one of acceptance and encouragement. I could feel that throughout the entire retreat. Even while each of us went out and did our own thing, you could feel the intentions that were being set, the vision that was being held. As we slept, many of us woke up the next day speaking of dreams that we had where Leija or Charis had been giving us healings/guidance. It wasn’t just a physical retreat but one for the spirit, as well! Like a dam giving way, I completely let go of many blocks of mine…And the divine guidance which was present, still gives me the chills. It was a very sacred experience. It was, honestly, life-altering in a wonderfully, empowering way.

The connection was another aspect of the retreat that I was so, so grateful for. It felt like I was coming home to heaven. I remember that all of us felt deeply called to be there, at this retreat. Even though I’d never actually met any one of the people there in person, I KNEW them. It was more comfort than when being with your family because it wasn’t familiarity that made it comforting, it was that unspoken feeling of belonging. Every one of us could be completely who we were without fear. We shared our hearts with one another, all shades. I feel like that is part of Leija’s life mission, helping us to connect with each other’s hearts and to trust the love the we feel when we do. At one point, we had a visitor come over and he was blown away by how strongly palpable the love was in the rooms. There was so much fun, laughter and playfulness! She is a friend more than any label I could ever give her. From her squeeshie hugs/heart hugs to the constant warmth coming from her and her authentic kindness. I’m not sure if Leija even realizes it but her kindness to me helped me to change a voice in my heart that had been asking for healing. I am thankful everyday to have met the beautiful souls that I met at this retreat.

Okay, now, as for my bodies health…I was literally glowing by the time I went home and even after flying across the country; I was totally energized. I didn’t look or act like the same person! We drank some of the best mineral water in the world, took hot baths in the mineral water and ate some really tasty and really healthy food. That brings me back to Leija’s yum yum creations! I had been curious on how to eat healthier because my body really feels glum a lot of times but I have a love for sweet treats. I didn’t think healthy and sweet could go together until having some of her creations. Scratch that, Leija’s isn’t on the same level as normal sweets…her creations are taken directly from heaven’s kitchen, if you catch my drift. It’s divinity ..in. your. mouth. That inspired me to have my cake and eat it to! I can be healthy and love every second of it. Now mom and I are having so much fun in the kitchen as we attempt to create our own version of “yum” for the tongue and the body.

We didn’t lack in adventure, either! Leija and Chris took us out on a hike through the sacred land that led to a view of the breathtaking Mount Shasta. There were stone’s the shape of heart’s along the way. She told us awesome stories, [some about possible big foot encounters the night before] and there were plenty of squeeshie hugs. We climbed tree’s, hugged tree’s and smelled tree’s. We opened our arms up to the sky and drank in the pure joy of simply being alive.

It was magical, sometimes unseen and sometimes created consciously with love and the intention to activate. There were epic card readings, energy healings, DNA activation’s, and staring into one another’s souls. The entire time, the atmosphere was very grounded, no matter how much fun, high vibes or healing energy we brought in. I’d say it was just another EPIC good ole’ fashion love fest with the love tribe. But then I’d have to point out that this was the first time I’d ever really experienced such a thing. It was a first to have honestly felt like I was living in heaven on earth. I remember thinking, “This is what life should be like all the time. This is what I’ve always been dreaming about.” I think it was dream come true for all of us. “BLISS out” was no joke, phew doggey.

That retreat may have lasted three days but I will never forget it. It will always be a memory in my heart of when a dream of mine came true, when I met truly beautiful souls and when I remembered who I truly am. By the time I got home, it was only a few days before my 19th birthday and I knew, then, that I’d already had the best gift given to me. Now, as I start my new life, I have a confirmation within my spirit that the path I am walking down is quite real and worthwhile. So, I am more determined than ever and I’ve got a new spring in my step. I feel like, that retreat was the culmination of everything that my life had been leading up to and then the finale to me opening my wings and soaring!

Leija’s retreat was quite literally a conduit for my own person un-foldment as a person. So, if a retreat that is life-changing in the most empowering sort of ways, full to the brim with unconditional love and fun, and an authentic source for connecting more deeply with who you truly are and our divinity, sounds like a good idea to you; then listen to see if you feel called to go to one of Leija’s retreat. I was honored to be a part of the experience and look forward to a future retreat! I think it’s important, for me, to have my spirit rejuvenated so completely like that. All my love!

Elizabeth

Eat well, and live long & prosper!!!

Lots of love!!!
Leija

Want to know the real Leija? If so, read this post. If not, don’t read this post lol. I won’t take offence, I promise haha. This post comes from a very honest, real, raw & vulnerable place within. It’s actually from my little online diary that I write in from time to time. Allowing myself to write in a *stream of consciousness* kind of way is one of favourite therapies. I honestly don’t expect most people to read this whole thing- It’s long, and I know people are busy doing their own thing, buuut…my heart wanted me to put this out there for those who are interested…so here it is:

Photography/ videography is such a huge passion of mine!!!! I can’t wait until I get a Canon 5D Mark II and Glidecam http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBLccEDmn40, so I can FINALLY take everything up quite a few notches!!! Universe, you know you wanna bring this camera into my life!!! You KNOW what my TRUE intentions are with this!

I love to inspire people to follow their heart, to connect with the natural world, with their authentic selves, and with everything REAL & RAW!!! I just loooove NATURE, creating anything- raw food, raw art, etc., exploring/ travelling, meeting new people (people from ALL walks of life), photography, film and just art in general! I have this dream of basically travelling the world, (documenting my travels via youtube of course), taking photos/ video footage of beautiful scenes in nature, beautiful food & beautiful people. I would LOVE to photograph/ film and interview every day people about their lives & share their beautiful, moving, funny, synchronistic, inspirational stories with the world! How needed is THAT work on this planet right now with all the FEAR news being pumped out??? Anyway, my intention is to do this work with my Swedish soul sista Natalie, who I actually just met yesterday for the first time (via skype)!!! Just two days ago, when I was photographing Kalamalka Lake, I told the Universe, with so much joy & excitement in my heart that I would LOOOVE to manifest a soul sister who is as passionate about REAL & RAW living as I am, who has a deep passion for travelling and photography, and who truly, truly…truuuuly gets me, on such a deep, deep level. People tell me all the time that I’m just like them, and that they toooootally get me! Now, while this is true to some degree, or even to a large degree, I have found that most people don’t truly get me….Or they get most of me, but there’s usually at least one disconnect there, which is completely cool! It doesn’t mean that we can’t have the most incredible, loving, healing, beautiful, ridiculously fun relationship…because we totally can!

Anyway, I connected with this Swedish girl just yesterday, Natalie, who truly *tears of joy* knows my heart and knows my soul…on a level that I can’t even describe with words. There’s just no doubt, no doubt!!! that we are from the same soul group and are here on this planet to do incredible work together! She knows why I do what I do, and knows that I am ANYTHING but ego- I’m all heart. <3 And that the only reason I shine my light so brightly is because I just have to- Not for myself, but for others, for this planet. This is why I came down to this planet! I came here to do a job, then I'm outta this dense dimension and back to where I came from, millions of dimensions away. Oh that's right, I said *millions* of dimensions away!!!

I was always an introvert growing up. WHHAAAA???? Leija an introvert? No fucking way! She’s like, the most outgoing person around??? Well, actually…no. Even though I would definitely have my outgoing/energetic/enthusiastic moments, a lot of the time, I was and still am that quiet, introverted, “let me just be and observe life” kinda person, who would rather frolic throughout a forest barefoot all day, picking wild edibles….or simply take photos of nature all day….then do ANYTHING in a city, or even anything with people! While I truly care about and love people, what I love just as much is the feeling I have when I’m all by myself, in nature…because I feel closest to the *home within* in nature. I love the way nature moves me….I love capturing the glow around wildflowers at sunset with my camera….I love dancing to beautiful music while I’m hiking and witnessing the trees dance right along with me….I love laughing my ass off at how freaking perfect everything really is…I love basking in MY OWN BLISS….I love being *silent* and simply observing the natural flow of life around me. The only reason a lot of people think I’m this very outgoing, energetic, talkative woman is because that’s what they see on youtube. But a 10 to 20 minute youtube video is just a 10 to 20 minute youtube video. Am I supposed to just stare into the camera and communicate my messages telepathically? Of course I’m going to talk a lot during the video…lol. I only make youtube videos when I feel that inspiration from within….and I change from an introvert to an extrovert in that moment! These days I’m definitely feeling the pull from within to be more expressive because I’m simple FEELING SO MUCH JOY that wants to be expressed! I’m also feeling the pull to really express all sides of Leija…So I’m going with it. But at the same time, I love simply connecting to that sacred space within and simply *being* in that beautiful place.

If I didn’t care this much about people, animals, and the planet as a whole, and if I didn’t have such important messages to spread (most of them that have come to me through being in nature, and connecting to that love/ source energy within), I would not be in the public eye… yeeeah…HELLZ NO!!! No freaking way! When people tell me they think I should model or do acting, I kind of laugh to myself because that is the LAST thing I’d want to do on this planet! I mean, sure, I’d love to be a part any kind of film or photoshoot that is promoting raw food, holistic healing, sustainability, the importance of connecting to your heartspace, etc….but acting/ modelling for the sake of looking pretty, or just making money? HELLZ NO! I don’t want THAT kind of attention EVER! There’s such a big part of me that actually doesn’t like attention believe it or not….but I’ve come to accept that when you shine your light, you receive attention. I’m at this level of acceptance of my true mission here on earth, which is why I’ve accepted the attention. I’ve gone BEYOND my ego, to a place where I simply focus on the whole. “How may I serve?” is my number #1 intention. I choose to focus on the bigger picture…like all the thousands of people I have helped in some way. I focus on the people who write to me, saying that I have COMPLETELY changed their lives! When someone writes to me and says….hold on, let me get an actual email from someone.

Ok, here is it: “leija i must write to you and thankyou from the bottom of my heart. i was seriously about to commit suicide but before pulling the trigger i asked god to give me just one reason to live. later that day was searching around onto youtube and came across your videos. you were so happy to be alive and connecting with the simple things in life like nature. you were giggling and just being yourself. you reminded me that its totally ok to just be me and that i dont have to try so hard to be someone im not. i realized how i was putting all these stupid expectations on myself and you reminded me that i was already perfect just the way i was. you sparked something within me and that night i started to cry and cry and cry. i cried so much that I could barely breath and i remembered what life was about and that i was worth living on this planet. you saved my life leija and i just cant express how grateful i am for you and your courage to put yourself out to the world. thankyou thankyou thankyou so much. i love you so much! thankyou!”

I’m at a point where I know it’s more important for me to shine my light and help/motivate/inspire others…then not to do so, even though there’s a part of me that just doesn’t want to deal with all the shit (from ego-projecting, unawake people) that comes along with it. I don’t think a lot of people understand how much shit I deal with. Most people think that my life is just so easy…lol. Well, these days it is a lot easier because I’m truly listening/ trusting in my heart, but at the same time, the more light you shine, the more attention you receive- and while a lot of that attention is super positive, a lot of it does a number on me because I’m such a sensitive soul. While we are all sensitive and empathic, some people are WAY more sensitive/ empathic than others! This planet’s vibrations are so dense that they really do a number on a lot of us. I do my best to protect myself, ground myself, heal myself, and not feed the drama, but I’m such an empath, and I *feel* so much…and see, Natalie totally gets this. Natalie totally feels this. She understands that I do what I do because my soul was here to bring about change, plain and simple….and through me simple sitting on top of a mountain, in a little cabin, gardening, painting/ taking photos all day, secluding myself from the world…well, that’s not fulfilling my mission…even though there is a part of me that wants to do just that.

I’m such a sensitive soul, such an empath, and if people truly understood this, and felt this, they wouldn’t throw their bullshit my way and accuse me of “just wanting attention” or “being an egomaniac” or “just being about the money” and complete utter nonsense like that! It’s not that I take the insults personally, because I know that people are just projecting from their ego, but because I am so sensitive, I can *feel* it on a deeper level. lol this is one of the reasons I go out in nature so much- to ground those judgements, criticisms and even hate daggers outta me! I’m not going to share some of the really toxic emails, but here’s a comment I received on a beautiful photo & inspirational post I made: “Whenever I see something from you or read something you write, all I can see is me, me me lol I’ve never seen anyone so self absorbed. I think that’s something you should look at.” That statement is just ridiculous and of course, an ego-projection….but just to clarify, I don’t make posts about myself because I wanna be like, “Oh look at me, and how fabulous I am in a “me, me, me EGO way”…It’s the complete opposite.

I inspire, motivate and heal through expressing and showing the world how freaking awesome life can be and how freaking gorgeous your body can become when you treat it like a temple! So of course I’m going to talk about me! Why the heck would I talk about you and what you should do and how you should live your life or what’s right for you? Pffftttt that’s no way to teach! That’s the old paradigm…the old, “Listen to me because I’m a guru, or I’m this professor. I’m superior to you. Don’t think for yourself. Just follow me. Or just memorize a bunch of facts and regurgitate it.” That way of teaching is SO OUTDATED in my humble opinion!!! I teach through being an example! Through sharing with people what works for me! Through encouraging people to try some of my helpful tips, but at the same time, encourage people to ALWAYS do what’s best for them! To listen to THEIR heart! To follow THEIR truth! I post beautiful, inspiring photos so I can inspire people to think, “Hmmm, she’s lookin’ mighty radiant. Maybe I’ll start eating some more raw food and start connecting with nature more often.” Or, “Hmmm….so following her heart is working for her…hmmm…maybe I should do the same.” You know what I’m sayin’? I know in my heart of hearts what my true intentions are and these strong waves of compassion, empathy and love that I feel within are enough fuel to keep me going strong! I highly encourage others to teach in this way! And to remember that everyone is just as much a teacher as they are a student!

Anyway, just wow, I mean, Natalie & I have pretty much EVERYTHING in common, from our roots (we’re both Scandinavian), to our lifestyle, passions, philosophies, sense of humour, relationships…to just about everything, and for the longest time, Natalie was actually asking the Universe to guide a soul sister into her life, one who would TRULY GET HER, and one who would LOVE to travel the world with her, take beautiful photos/ videos of everything real & raw- real & raw nature, people, food, EVERYTHING! And of course, someone who wants to continue to do lightwork in every way possible!

Natalie is actually an amazing photographer who just had a photography exhibition…and that is EXACTLY what I want to do, and what we both want to do together now and waaaaaaaaaaaa I could go on. See, this is what happens when you follow your heart and stay true to yourself! Wow, I just feel so so sooooo blessed and grateful for the Universe uniting us- and guess what?? SHE’S COMING TO MY RETREAT in just a few days!!! *tears of joy* Seriously, we both cried SOOO MUCH during and after that skype call because it sincerely felt like we were long-lost sisters finally re-united!!!!

Getting back to my dream….With so much fear-based news constantly being pumped out into the world, I feel that the world needs more POSITIVE, INSPIRATIONAL, BEAUTIFUL messages/ videos/ news NOW, more than ever before!!! I get sooo excited at the thought of travelling the world, taking (high quality) photos/ video footage of nature, food, people, and all that is beautiful, inspirational, real & raw!!! I would LOVE to be able to interview people with inspirational stories, from all walks of life, from ALL over the world! A lot of these people would be doing the most amazing humanitarian work that the mainstream just doesn’t talk/ hear about. A lot of these people would be people I’d meet spontaneously and synchronistically during my travels- They would appear to be ordinary people, yet have the most incredible things to say! It would be the “SYNCTOWN REAL & RAW TOUR” or somethin’ lol. ; )

Some of the most beautiful, inspiring souls I’ve ever met were homeless people, janitors, or just your every day person that I’d strike up a conversation with when out & about. These people are usually not into all the stuff I’m into, but simply have so much heart/soul/wisdom, and such incredible stories that would melt anyone’s heart and make anyone realize how amazing life really is- I want to interview THOSE guys & gals!!! I want us all to see/feel how truly beautiful, amazing and similar we all are! Minus those superficial and cultural differences, we all just want to have the freedom to be who we are, to love and be loved, and to really enjoy life! I want to show as many people as I can how much JOY, LOVE, INSPIRATION & MAGIC there is in the world RIGHT NOW!!!! ONE LOVE BABY!!! That’s a dream of mine that will manifest once I get a new mac laptop, a Canon 5D Mark II & Glidecam (and whatever other equipment I need), possibly do some fundraising, and create the space in my life for it to happen.

Thank-you Mother Earth, Higher Self, Angels, Spirit Guides & Universe…seriously THANK-YOU SO MUCH for the blessing that is Natalie, and for continually giving me the strength, love and protection I need to continue following my heart and doing my lightwork!!!! DAAHHH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!

Speaking of spontaneous rambles, I feel like writing a spontaneous ramble right now…lol. So here it goes. All I know for sure is that I LOVE YOU! I may not know you personally, but at a deeper level I *do* know you because you are me and I am you. I’m at a point where I KNOW how truly incredible you really are, and this is why I make these videos! My honest intention is to inspire & remind people of the “truth” of how beautiful, brilliant and powerful they are! The more people *remember* & embrace their authentic selves, the more this world will heal and transform! So please, feel free to share my videos with others! My videos are to be shared!!!

Some people think that my JOY isn’t real- That I’m putting on an act…or that I simply haven’t had many challenges in life, which is why I am this way. Let me reassure you that THAT is anything but the truth! I am the way I am because I’ve decided to EMBRACE & GROW from my challenges. I’ve chosen to see the BLESSING in every experience! I’ve chosen to shine LIGHT on my shadow aspects, which in essence, has allowed those parts of me to dissolve or simply not be an emotional trigger or issue anymore.

What you shine light on, becomes the light! Once you own your shadow, it no longer owns you! The resistance STOPS and you are free to be you, to experience YOU in your TOTALITY…and you continue to FLOW and experience deeper and more expansive love!

My childlike wonder, joy, love & excitement is real. As I grow and become more mature, I choose to be more *real* and *whole*…to be more *present* and *accepting*…as opposed to developing even more of a social mask that I wear around pretending I’m this “serious, “got her shit together” professional, socially accepted adult.

When you hide parts of yourself, or put on an act in attempt to “fit in”, you are preventing yourself from moving into a vibration of love, joy, peace & non-resistance, which is the VERY STATE you need to be in to live a harmonious, joyous, abundant life!

When you allow your ego to run your life, you stay stuck in a prison, where you’re constantly judging and comparing yourself to others, trying to live up to others’ expectations….and shit, it’s so draining! It’s not worth it! Wouldn’t it be easier to just BE YOU? I feel so. Actually, I KNOW so, because I am a living example. And this is what I’ve dedicated my life’s work to. I will forever be a student and teacher of LIFE, who is constantly learning, growing, evolving and EXPANDING!!! I will continue to share my insights, advice, love & support to all that are open. If you are interested in connecting with me for a one-on-one consult, please roam my website to see what I offer.

I choose to embrace my shadow, my quirks and my wholeness….and in doing so, my vibration continues to move into a state of non-resistance, *allowing* those changes or things my heart desires to actually FLOW into my life with so much more grace & ease.

I listen to my heart’s callings and when roadblocks appear, I do my best to let go and let flow…and see that everything is actually happening for my highest good. As long as I continue to be open and flexible, I’m always guided along a path that only opens me up to GREATER LOVE, even if what I originally wanted to manifest doesn’t manifest. It’s up to us to recognize the deeper meaning, and see the blessing in everything.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” -Howard Thurman

So YES, pursue your passions, COME ALIVE…but at the same time, make sure that you are RELAXING enough along the way, because that relaxed energy will allow everything to flow so much more gracefully and easily.

Relaxation will slow down your thoughts and open your heart. Take the time out today to relax and just *be*…meditate… feel the love that is ALWAYS within you and allow it to expand out into the world. Activities like dancing and yoga are fantastic way to get out of your mind & into your body, which allows you to feel more connected to your heart. Sound is an amazing activator! The sound “Ahhhh” activates your heart chakra. For 5 minutes, inhale slowly (diaphragmatically) & exhale saying “ahhhh.” Connecting to your inner child also opens up/ connects you to your heart. Make sure to take out time everyday to have fun!!! Laugh! Be silly! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvE6cltjsMc

In love, light & *transparency*… I salute your beautiful being!!!

So I’ve got 20 minutes before my next long-distance EPFX session (busy, long day today)…but I just had to share this today with you all because I’ve been feeling the intuitive nudge to share it all day! So what’s the dealio? Well, as many of you out there know and *feel*, our bodies are changing vibrationally at top speed right now! Holy SHIFT Batman! WOW I seriously just saw a purple orb as I wrote and thought “Holy Shift Batman”…lol. Sweet! Anywho…

Flower essences, bach flower remedies, crystals and liquid light frequencies are all subtle energy remedies/ healing tools aka. vibrational medicine that can help this “shifting” or ascension process become a little less bumpy, and a little more enjoyable and graceful. I’ve been noticing with most of my clients, who, I guess you’d put into the “intuitive, sensitive, empathic, starseed” category that these people are feeling drained and challenged trying to function on this planet because they’re becoming so gosh darn sensitive to EVERYTHING! I can relate, trust me! But something that can help is taking sutble energy medicines. I remember about 5 years ago, things like crystals and flower essences were something that were cool and fun to have…but NOW I’m realizing and *feeling* their potential to help us through this ascension process.

Not everyone notices a big difference from subtle energy remedies/ tools, but for the people who are like me, ie. extremely energetically sensitive, empathic, a starseed, etc., well, we’re a lot more sensitive and receptive to these subtle energies…and basically what I’m being guided to tell you is to look into this stuff! There’s tons of information on flower essences, bach flower remedies, crystals…and wow, so much more! There’s a video topic right there!

I highly recommend you watch this very informative video about crystals if you haven’t already! It shares a lot of information about how to cleanse, charge and use crystals- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6pYAiRqhio Something I like to do is actually put certain crystals in water and let them sit there for a few hrs before drinking it. Learning how to cleanse/ charge them beforehand is key!

There’s so much to say about different ways to help clear/ balance yourself, and overall, make this ascension process so much more enjoyable, but I will save it for another post. What I’d like to focus on sharing today specifically are the “liquid light frequencies” which are vibrational remedies nobody seems to know about. They aren’t mainstream in the “alternative” healing field yet apparently. My EPFX actually has the frequencies of all these liquid light frequencies within it, and can tell me the specific ones you would benefit from the most…that is, if you book an EPFX session with me. Now, in no way do you need to book a session with me in order to hook yourself up with some amazing liquid light frequencies. You can simply use your intuition on which ones you feel would help you the most right now (that is if you feel drawn to buying any.) I personally do not have any affiliation to the company. I’m simply promoting it because I think it’s a really good thing, especially for the very empathic people; People who need extra help clearing/ protecting their energy field because they’re energetic sponges.

So here is the website for the *LIQUID LIGHT FREQUENCIES* that I’m simply suggesting you check out: http://www.healingarts.nl/en/webshop/ Before emailing me with questions, please read it over thoroughly because it goes over pretty much everything you need to know about them.

The particular liquid light frequency that my technology always seems to recommend for people who feel they are starseeds is the “El-Eloha 01″ http://www.healingarts.nl/en/el-eloha/el-eloha-01/ which is supposed to assist you in becoming fully aware of your physical being, completely at one with your body and at the same time connected to your cosmic state of being. This gives a feeling of universal love, and a longing for firsthand experience and the wisdom that flows from your own Source. The feeling of emptiness begins to subside and you begin to feel ‘at home’ on earth.

I encourage you to simply browse around this site and see if any resonate. I think and *feel* that they’re all amazing!!! I personally haven’t bought any myself because my EPFX quantum biofeedback technology has all the liquid light frequencies encoded within, and I can simply give myself a session and receive all those frequencies. A couple months ago, I sent myself (energetically using my EPFX) nothing but liquid light frequencies for about 2 to 3 hrs and I noticed that for the next week or so, my meditations were a more profound, it felt easier to hear and feel the voice of my intuition/ higher self, and overall, I felt more at peace and *lighter*…like a weight was lifted off of me. As of right now, that’s all that I can report about my experiences with the frequencies. I’ve honestly been so busy lately helping others, and working on putting together retreats and workshops/ programs, that I haven’t been giving myself regular EPFX sessions, but I’m feeling the need to start them up again.

I’d love to make a video sometime on this topic to go into more depth, but can only do so much every day. So for now, I’m simply encouraging you to do a little more investigation on crystals, flower essences, bach flower remedies, liquid light frequencies, sound healing and anything that involves clearing, balancing and protecting yourself with these high vibrational frequencies.

More to come on this topic!

In love & light,

Leija

PS. If you feel like you’re taking crazy pills these days, well, join the club…lol. There’s a lot going on right now with crazy solar flare activity, mercury retrograge (which ends beginning of April THANK GOD LOL) and of course, the rest of the emotional, draining, frustrating, yet exciting and empowering feelings that comes along with this shifting process.
