How Do I Protect Myself From ENERGY VAMPIRES?

Click here for view TODAY’s Coaching VIDEO…

Hello Dear Heart!

Thank you so very much for tuning in! It’s been a while since I’ve done a video blog but so many have been asking that I’m starting them up again! These video blogs are FREE COACHING directly for you! Tune in every Tuesday for the summer to help keep you releasing the blocks and move into alignment with your dream manifesting and life’s purpose work. Now onto today’s blog…

The world is going through some major changes. It’s on most every level from individual to global. There is feedback everywhere that is getting louder and LOUDER! In the last month for example there’s been an increase in panic attacks, anxiety, ringing in ears, vertigo, etc. If you are paying attention we are definitely shifting.

We humans have been living as if we could exist outside of the natural flow of how the world works. As a species we’ve so focused on the fear of not having enough or of being safe that we are now in a HUGE pickle. The biggest problem seems to be that most people either feel completely powerless to do anything or want to argue that there is no problem… DUDE, IF YOUR HOUSE IS ON FIRE, doing nothing except arguing whether or not to call the fire department, will get you into a hot mess. 😉

On an individual level the way we use our energy is very important. Just like our physical body needs a constant flow of air, our energetic body needs a flow of energy. We get both of those flows naturally, unless we block it. The blocks in the energetic body cause people to look for energy from other people, and that is how energy vampires are created… Oh, and don’t fool yourself by pointing fingers at others! We are all energy vampires at some point because of how we have all been domesticated into a world that tries to shut off our intuition and tell us the “RIGHT WAY” to live life… How’s that worken’ for ya, eh? 😉

We’re in the middle of a huge wake-up call… Listening to these videos will help you shift your life more into living from your heart’s core, back to listening to your intuition, your internal GPS. The road is bumpy… HOWEVER…If you’re living out of alignment, it’s WAY harder to live like you are now!

Remember that life is rigged in your favor!

Great big hugs,
Mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

WHY DO I KEEP REPEATING THE SAME PATTERN…Even When It Hurts!?

in Awareness Lesson / Coaching Session / Life Lessons / Stress Lesson / The Basics of Life by Maria January 27, 2015 0 comments

Hello Beautiful Coach Me Maria Peeps!

Welcome to the fourth video blog of this exciting CMM series! Today’s topic is one that drives most of us C-R-A-Z-Y!!! Today’s question is… WHY-OH-WHY-WHY DO WE KEEP REPEATING THE SAME PATTERNS… OVER AND OVER…EVEN WHEN THEY ARE PAINFUL… OR MAKE NO SENSE!?

This is one of those topics that can drive people insane. If it were only a matter of doing what made sense then it would be easy to adjust, but that’s not the case with most people. This is when lots of blame happens because people BLAME and SHOULD all over themselves. A bit of kindness, letting go and forgiveness goes a long way in these circumstances. I specifically make this and the other videos in this series short so you can get a lot in a short amount of time. Take a moment now to find out how your patterns are making you stuck by watching today’s video.

For those who want more information about coming to a Coach Me Maria event or retreat you can get more details at http://coachmemaria.com/events/.

THANK YOU! I’m oh-so-delighted to be part of your journey back to the authentic you!!! Your WAKING UP is exactly what the world needs right now! No matter how bumpy it gets you will love how wonderful it feels to BE YOU in the world! What I know for sure is that I was born to help you get “there”! If you have been struggling and want things to shift, coaching is a really great solution! Call or email me for a life-shifting session! <3

In the meantime, continue spreading the LOVE by commenting, liking and sharing this video blog with those you LOVE most! We are creating a perfect storm for a passionate peace to reign in our lives! It cannot happen unless we share what makes our heart sing! Sharing is caring! I look forward to your comments!

Remember: What the world needs most is for you to be YOU, not some version of what you or others think you SHOULD BE!

Great big hugs,
Mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What is REIKI?

in Awareness Lesson / Coaching Session / Stress Lesson / The Basics of Life by Maria January 20, 2015 2 comments

Hello Beautiful!

Welcome to the third video blog of this series! Today’s topic is one that even hospitals are starting to pay attention to. Today’s question is… WHAT IS REIKI?

Two weeks ago, I had my first surgery at Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Massachusetts. I was delighted to find that they offered Reiki to patients who requested it. I had a wonderful time explaining what Reiki was to some of the nurses who were on the fence about it. Reiki is such an interesting experience because many time it does not even need you to psychically touch the person. This is because our energy is not just physical. You can “feel” it through other sensors too. We as human being are going through a huge awakening and the becoming open to that energy is part of the journey that allows us a ticket to ride in helping bring more peace and love to our selves and our planet!

As a Reiki Master Teacher, I choose to lead small Reiki trainings because for most people, playing with their energy is something new and different. Having the space to safely explore makes a huge difference. The people who learn Reiki from me are mean and women from all different backgrounds, ages and professions. They have included moms, dads, hospice nurses, ministers, personal trainers, massage therapists, attorneys, grandmothers, special needs therapists and teachers. Many tend to be attracted to helping people and they are curious about how Reiki can help them aid on a deeper level. It does my heart good to see my Reiki students come back and report how they are using the energy they’ve always had to truly help others!

For those who live near Holliston, MA we have a REIKI SHARE we do as a community service. Basically a Reiki Share is when a group of people who know how to do Reiki get together and give Reiki for free as a gift to the community. The people who are receiving the Reiki make a small donation, in our case 100% of the money goes to the local food pantry. The next one is February 3, 2015. It’s only a $5 donation but you must sign up so we can make sure we have enough Reiki people present. Sign up here now.

For those of you who want to learn Reiki you can get more information about Reiki trainings at http://coachmemaria.com/events/.

I’m oh-so-delighted to be part of your journey back to the authentic you!!! Your WAKING UP is exactly what the world needs to heal! No matter how bumpy it gets you will love how wonderful it feels to BE YOU in the world! What I know for sure is that I was born to help you get “there”! If you have been struggling and want things to shift here’s a really great solution! Book yours ! It will really help! As soon as I get your sign up I will contact you within 24 hours to book a session. <3

What is a LIFE COACH?

in Awareness Lesson / Coaching Session / Dreams / Journeys / Life Lessons / Stress Lesson / The Basics of Life by Maria January 13, 2015 0 comments

Hello Beautiful!

Welcome to the second video blog of this series! Today’s topic is a honor-your-time quick-answer to a question I get all the time…”Oh, so you’re a Life Coach?! Uh, what exactly is a Life Coach?” This short video will clarify it for you.

Today, the world’s most successful people have at least one coach. With great coaches, even just one session makes a HUGE difference! I, myself, have three-five coaches I work with to help me stay on track with my life’s work. I would not be where I am without them! Having a life coach is one of the most important things you can do because it helps you work on the specific things you want to shift and helps keep you ultra accountable. My favorite thing about being a coach is watching the AHAs settle in after a session where my clients are simply in awe of what was right in front of them but had been invisible. It is a magical gift I’ve been given and I love sharing it with the world!

Want to get a ‘taste” of my specific coaching? For just those who are reading this, I have a special for the first 13 people to respond (13 = Sophia so I will go with that number). My normal coaching rate is $155/session. Today I’m offering the first 13 people a quick, affordable way to get unstuck in your life. Quickie Coaching Session – 15 Minute Shift Session for only $33.

As I said last week, I’m oh-so-delighted to be part of your journey back to the authentic you!!! Your WAKING UP is exactly what the world needs to heal! No matter how bumpy it gets you will love how wonderful it feels to BE YOU in the world! What I know for sure is that I was born to help you get “there”! If you have been struggling and want things to shift here’s a really great solution! Book your Quickie Coaching Session – 15 Minute Shift Session right now! It will really help! As soon as I get your sign up I will contact you within 24 hours to book a session. <3

In the meantime, continue spreading the LOVE by commenting, liking and sharing this video blog with those you LOVE most! We are creating a perfect storm for a passionate peace to reign in our lives!

ENERGY HEALING… FINALLY A SIMPLE EXPLANATION!

in Awareness Lesson / Life Lessons / The Basics of Life / Video Blog by Maria January 6, 2015 7 comments

Hello Beautiful!

I’m oh-so-delighted to be part of your journey back to the authentic you!!! No matter how bumpy it gets you will love how wonderful it feels to BE YOU in the world! What I know for sure is that I was born to help you get “there”!

As I write this blog, I’m at the amazing Newton-Wellesley Hospital in Newton, Massachusetts getting wonderful medical care for my beautiful husband Doug. I did not expect that this is where I would be writing it from but the universe has a “funny” way of “redirecting” us to where we need to be. FIGHTING makes it worse. NOTICING and LOOKING for the GIFTS in the moments, situations and places we find ourselves in gives us the vital FEEDBACK we need to navigate our lives, closer to our hearts.

Some people pooh-pooh western medicine. Some pooh-pooh eastern medicine. Some pooh-pooh energy medicine. There is a place in our big, beautiful world for all kinds of healing, regardless of where it comes from. The key is to be open to whatever is out there. From that place you can hear what path is best for you. Beware of lowering your energy when you JUDGE yourself, or others, in the path they have chosen. Lean into the uncomfortable and see what you find.

Today is the official launch of my video blogs. My goal was to make them short and sweet because I know your time is super valuable.

Today’s topic answers one of the most asked questions I get, “WHAT EXACTLY IS ENERGY HEALING?”

I ask that you continue spreading the LOVE by commenting, liking and sharing this video blog with those you LOVE the most in this world! We are creating a perfect storm for a passionate peace to reign in our lives! It cannot happen unless we share what makes our heart sing! Sharing is caring!

I look forward to your comments and to see how many people give themselves the gift of watching this very first COACH ME MARIA video!

PPS Do you like the wacky photo of me on the video of my nose all curled up? Looks like I just smelled a really bad fart or something! 😉 Well, I was going to have the film director change it but then I thought why deprive the world of some really good giggles! Maybe it will make you want to send it out even more! 😉

30 SECOND MINI-COACHING SESSION – LACK OF MONEY?

in Coaching Session by Maria February 11, 2014 0 comments

Here’s today’s 30 SECOND MINI-COACHING Session…

TOPIC: LACK OF MONEY….How much is enough?

When you come at the subject of money from a place of fear, even if you have $100 billion it’s not quite ‘enough’… How much of what you do in a day centers around doing things so that you get money? Most people live paycheck to paycheck or client to client… just barely making it by. Even if you have savings the fear of losing it makes most PLAY SMALL…

Today I invite you to live your life as if money were #5 on your list instead of #1 or #2… You will notice immediately your breath shift and your shoulders dropping… That’s a sign that you are no longer ‘leaking’ energy to the fear but just being more present in the moment…. from there is the ONLY way you can start living an authentic life… which is the only path to a happy one!

NAMASTE CUTIE PIES! May you have the best day of your entire life… so far!

30 SECOND MINI-COACHING SESSION – ‘THE HIGH COST OF JUDGING OTHERS OR YOURSELF’

in Coaching Session by Maria January 16, 2014 0 comments

Welcome to today’s 30 Second Mini-Coaching session! You came to the right place!

Recently I’ve come into the realization that “adulthood”, a term I’ve been avoiding even though I’m 46 years old… is not what I expected it would be when I was a kid. When I was a kid 46 was ANCIENT… Now that I have a 76 year old mom, 76 is WAY young to me! Life is all relative. We never know how it will be until we are in the situation so JUDGING others when you don’t have all the facts, it not a very good way to use your energy. Just a gentle reminder today that people are doing the best they can with what they have and when they know how or can to do better, they will. Just like you don’t like when others judge you… give others that same courtesy, not because it’s “right” but because you have some really fun, important, wonderful, challenging stuff of your own to work on… and you need that energy for YOU!

Ultimately, this is the basic root of SELF-ESTEEM… let the energy that was meant for you stay within you so that you can fully grow into yourself!… From there you can help a lot more people by being authentically YOU!

Great big hugs,

Mariaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

30 SECOND MINI-COACHING – HOW TO ‘BIRTH’ A MIRACLE

in Coaching Session by Maria November 2, 2013 2 comments

Welcome to today’s 30 Second Mini-Coaching session! You came to the right place!

I love this Martha Beck quote, “We are a time-starved people, obsessed with fitting huge achievements into our few years. In the process, we often fill our buckets with things that don’t matter or work. But when we give up on trying to change what can’t be changed, and simply embrace what we love, a miracle occurs. We notice that the moment to be happy has already arrived. It’s here, now.”

Happiness is not a long road. Happiness ONLY lives in the right now…each and every RIGHT now you have. Focus on your RIGHT NOWs all day today and see how life starts shifting. This is not what the world at large teaches but notice that there are two ‘LIVING LEVELS’ you can be on… 1. THINKING about life…. of 2. LIVING life… Only #2 can give you what Glenda the Good Witch said in the Wizard of Oz, “YOU HAD IT ALL ALONG.” What you seek in others lives in you. THAT is the miracle. Live the miracle of you out loud!

30 SECOND MINI-COACHING – ARE YOU FEELING STUCK?

in Coaching Session by Maria October 15, 2013 1 comments

HAPPY TUESDAY!!!! Here’s your 30 Second Mini Coaching Session…

We are always transforming in each and every moment. The trick it to let go and embrace the moment in front of you…as it comes… then gently releasing it so the next moment can take it’s place…When you don’t your life gets BACKED UP, CLUTTERED & CLOGGED…RESULT, you feel stuck.

If this is you go back to your RIGHT NOW.

Start with your breath.

Feel what you feel in this moment and then… let go.

Feel your shoulders drop.

Feel your breath.

Flow into your breath as it flows into you.
