Book Cover & Preview Text
I am a firm believer in the power of our thoughts and the intention behind our words. I have always been a firm believer in being responsible for our actions as well. When we really consider that our actions come from the thoughts in our head, we are able to see that a thought and an action are one in the same. All of our actions come from a thought first. Whether it is conscious, or unconscious is another story. Most people are accustomed to looking outside of themselves to understand something happening in their life. In truth, all the answers are within each of us and these thoughts. If every person took a moment to be aware of the thoughts in the mind before acting or speaking, I know we would experience a lot less conflict in the world. The simple tools and exercises in this book are here to support you in being aware of the unconscious and conscious thoughts that you have throughout the day. As you practice these exercises (impeccably) you will notice a difference in your experiences. I know the concepts and what I am suggesting in this book are not new. I’d like to specify that I don’t believe we are learning anything new either. The ideas are simply being presented in a different way so that more people are able to receive the information. And, if you want to go one step further… I don’t believe we are learning anything new at all in this life. I believe we are simply remembering what we already know innately within ourselves. I believe that learning is linear and implies we need time to understand something. I appreciate working with the concept of remembering more often. “Remembering” for me implies “now” and can be known in the moment. Yes, we must make an effort and we can also allow information to flow to us. As I continue to work with these tools, I have discovered that as we practice them together intently, I am able to allow myself and others their own experience. I am able to let go of judgments in the mind more easily because I take a moment to observe myself. I am not saying that I never have a judgment, I am human. What I am saying is that it is easier to breathe and discern instead when we observe. These tools allow me to let go of the labels “right” and “wrong” and accept what is in the present moment. I don’t have to agree or resonate with it and I am able to allow it to be at the same time. Maybe it is beneficial to walk away in an intense moment in order to be conscious of my feelings. I give myself the space to do so by taking a moment and honoring my experience. I have found that I am able to be more clear in my thought process as I choose to observe my thoughts and feelings before responding in a situation that seems challenging. I do my best to be open to ALL options at ALL times. In this process, I encourage you to become very aware of the words you choose to tell the story of you as well. Meaning, are the words I am speaking supportive and loving, or not? Am I coming from a place of love, or not? Then, checking in and asking, “How does this make my heart feel?”. Almost every human being is able to feel and know when they are in a loving space. Our bodies give us clear messages through experiences of dis-ease, pain and discomfort that we ignore or just don’t believe they are connected to the emotions we hold inside. As we practice observing and being aware of how we’re feeling, as we are experiencing things, the easier it is to navigate any interaction in the most peaceful way. I recommend checking in with the unconscious thoughts in your head during your day to see clearly how you are participating energetically in your life. All throughout this self-exploration, the biggest message I have been compelled to share since the beginning of this healing journey is to BE grounded and to share information on what that means. I will remind you now that you are the writer, actor, director and producer of this play called “Your Life”. You decide who you are in each moment. As you practice these exercises and consider different perspectives you are allowing yourself to know You completely. As we choose to be aware of why we choose certain experiences, we reinforce our personal foundation and create our own sense of stability and security. We connect with our roots and support ourselves all on our own. We stop looking outside of us for validation and start asking our heart what we truly desire. To truly know your Self, is to LOVE your Self. Unconditionally! As you open yourself to all the opportunities life has for you, you will begin to see how synchronistic life really is and find yourself in a constant state of awe! I send You all the best on the rest of this journey!

About the Book
The Little Book of Tools is intended to provide simple ways of shifting our attitude (energy) and thoughts during our daily interactions with others and our Self into a more loving, calm, centered space. Through my work, I have found that most of us are unaware that we are living in a subtle state of “fight or flight” due to the stresses that we experience every day. We may think we are “fine”, but the energy of this way of being projects out into our lives and has an effect on the Self and our environment. If we don’t make time to rest and reset our systems, this way of living can manifest pain, discomfort and even disease within from the stress that the body experiences regularly. As you practice the exercises in the book, you will notice not only a difference in how your physical body feels, you will notice a change in your relationships and environment. The tools are easy to use and if practiced impeccably, they work! Are you ready to invite more loving experiences into your life? Are you ready to let go of the limiting beliefs that are holding you back? If you’re ready, then this book is for You!
