2012 in Review...Thank You!

2012 was such a momentous year for Om Sweet Om!

This year I "birthed" the biggest, most amazing creative endeavor of my life (besides my children)! I let go and opened myself up to infinite possibilities and followed the path that has been Divinely laid out for me, devoid of fear or judgement from those around me. Trust, love, and faith in the Divine has been my rock and I look forward to growing, learning, and serving in the coming year! 

THANK YOU to all of my wonderful clients, family, and friends!! If it weren't for your amazing love and support, there would be no Om Sweet Om:)

Blessings for a safe, fun, and loving New Years!!
Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti♥

Connect with nature today...even if it's just for a minute. Spend some time allowing the natural environment to recharge and nourish your soul. It's amazing how quickly it will happen when you let go and let it in:)

The BIG One - 12/21/12!

Well, the end did not happen for us on this momentous day;) However it is only the BEGINNING!!! Can you feel it? 

The energy in the air is vibrant and motivating. Act on that still, small voice urging for an increase in your awareness and awakening. This world is in need of people acting out of love and light. Participate in this Divine push for positivity by raising your vibration and demanding more of yourself and the world. Yes, growing pains are a part of maturing, but we can overcome them if we stick together and move forward as One!

We would love to help you out with any growing pains you may be experiencing with a calming and
lovely Reiki session, aromatherapy blend, or personalized crystal bag to assist in balancing your energies, detoxifying your system, and helping you grow and function as your true Authentic Divine Self:)

Enjoy this period in your lifetime, Namaste'♥

What If?

What If?

What if we all took a few quiet moments to ask ourselves this question, “What am I truly passionate about?”

What if we all took these few minutes to look deep in our hearts to discover what humanitarian issue stirs our soul?
 
We all have AT LEAST one major humanitarian concern that touches our hearts deeply and passes through our minds incessantly. Some of us have many;) These can be things like: Word Hunger, Global Warming, Pollution, Education, Poverty, Energy Waste/Efficiency, Food, Alternative Energy Sources, Health Care, Disease, Violence, Preserving our Natural Resources, and the list goes on and on.
 
What if each of us made the decision, this minute, to DO something about the issue that concerns us the most? What if - instead of merely thinking about this issue for a moment then turning your attention back to your To-Do list - you actually decided to take ACTION? Action can be as simple as posting something on your Facebook or blog. It can be researching your interest. It can be creating and spreading awareness. It can be writing your local senator or representative. It can be volunteering. It can be joining an action group. 
 
What if we ALL took action and responsibility for the individual issues that concern us? How would our World look?

We are responsible for shaping our World. We have the POWER to do so. We were all put on this planet for Divine missions. With this Gift of Life we all have been given the opportunity to make a difference. What are you going to do with your gift? We all can be the change that we want to see in the World, but it requires us to actually DO something about it instead of just thinking about it. Change requires ACTION. Change can be difficult, but is absolutely necessary to make a positive difference. When we
work together towards positive goals, anything is possible!

So, I ask
you…
What exactly is it that resonates with your heart, mind, and soul?

What if you decided, right now, to BE the change you want to see?

The Darkness in this world is trying it's hardest to
stifle the Light. Join me and let your Divine light shine brightly by extending prayers, thoughts, and love to those effected by today's senseless tradegy. Let it permeate those dark areas by extending gratitude and love for the people and blessings in our own lives. Be a flashlight in the dark and let your light SHINE.

The Majestic 12/12/12

Happy 12/12/12 Day!!

Today is a special day in energy terms and a numerological day that we will never repeat again!

So, what is all this 12/12/12 and 12/21/12
talk?? Mayans, end of the world, special Spiritual meaning??

End of the physical world, no, probably not;) The Mayans utilized many different kinds of calendars, and this period in time simply represents the end of one era and the beginning of another. Many Spiritual people believe that this special two week period in
time is the perfect moment for increased awareness, intuition, insight, and the opportunity for peace. Many people look at this time as a game-changing time. A time in which there is a window of opportunity or an open door that allows increased peace and awareness to flow more easily and powerfully to all that wish to receive it. It is a time to take responsibility for ourselves and our World. A time to take action about situations that negatively affect our World and the people in it. It is a time for AWAKENING.

Over the next two weeks, you may actually feel or hear people talking about "energy downloads." These are Divine energetic gifts that are available to anyone who is open to receive them! If you are feeling unusually tired, down, or overwhelmed over the next two weeks (outside of that Christmas rush!), please remember to take extra care of yourself. Rest, be gentle towards yourself and others, and open your heart and mind to receive the beautiful and positive Divine energy that flows. 

Enjoy the Awakening that is upon us! Take notice of the increased Peace, Love, and Awareness during this time! WE are responsible for shaping the future. It is up to us to utilize this Divine energy and take ACTION... so let's acknowlege our unity as Divine spirits and work together as ONE to bring peace and love into our future♥

Global Warming

12/4/2012

0 Comments

 
I hope you all enjoyed this beautiful warm day today. However nice, this warm day is just another extremely sad and glaring reminder that Mother Earth is in serious trouble. Global Warming is at an all-time high and reaching emergency status rapidly. It is not a problem that is going to happen in the future…it’s happening RIGHT NOW. 

I know we’ve all heard it before, but I feel compelled
to post a few simple ways you can reduce your carbon footprint and help our Earth. Even if we’re not capable of doing everything on this list, doing just a few of these suggestions will contribute to reducing the negative effects that continue to compile. We all need to work TOGETHER (even our politicians!!;)) to help save this planet, and we can do it by making a conscious effort and becoming aware of how our actions contribute to the Whole.

Here are a few simple steps you can take to curb your Carbon Footprint. You can find these and more information at www.help-stop-global-warming.com.
 
“Simple Ways to Stop Global Warming
If you are just starting to learn ways you can stop
global warming, you can start small, and start immediately. After you have the basics down, you can take it a step further and do even more. These simple actions are easy ways to stop global warming. You can start today with no investment of additional time or money. Just a few minor changes to make in your everyday life.

1. Turn off Lights, Appliances and Other Items Operated by Electricity When They Aren't in Use - It seems like common sense, but even I have caught myself leaving a room without turning off the light. Pay closer attention to your family's habits. Then become more insistent that items are OFF when not in use.
Savings:1000 pounds of carbon dioxide and $256 per year. 

2. Unplug Appliances and Electric Items When Not in Use - Most people are likely unaware that even when an item is switched off, some current continues to be pulled by the cords. This is especially true of items that have the large AC adapter units incorporated on their cords. This wastes electricity creating more pollution and costing you more money.
Savings:1000 pounds of carbon dioxide and $256 per year.

3. Run Your Dishwasher Only When it is Full - Again, it seems like common sense, but it is also an
important step to conserving both water and electricity. Not only does the dishwasher itself run on electricity, but remember that the water has to be
heated and causes additional energy consumption. Always run it on the lowest setting possible. There's no need to run a cycle for pots and pans in you have a load of only dishes. And if you have time, and your dishwasher is equipped, allow the load to air dry.
Savings:100 pounds of carbon dioxide and $40 per year.

4. Run Your Washer and Dryer For Full Loads of Laundry Only - Basically the same reasoning as the dishwasher. Use cold water whenever possible and consider allowing your clothes to air dry (it will keep them from shrinking too).
Savings:700 pounds of carbon dioxide and $75 per year.


5. Take Shorter Showers - Showers account for 2/3 of all water heating costs. Shorten your daily shower (or even skip a day if you can).
Savings:350 pounds of carbon dioxide and $99 per year.

6. Check the Thermostat on Your Water Heater - Keep it at 120° Fahrenheit or below. Not only is this a good idea for environmental reasons, it also helps protect our kids (and even some of us adults) from being scalded by water that is too hot. 
Savings:550 pounds of carbon dioxide and $30 per year.

7. Check Your Home Thermostat - Instead of turning up the heat in the winter, wear sweaters and heavier clothing inside so that you can turn it down 2 degrees. Do this along with turning it up 2 degrees in the summer.
Savings:2000 pounds of carbon dioxide and $98 per year.

8. Keep Your Tires Inflated - Check your car tires each month to ensure they are properly inflated. Under inflated tires wastes gasoline and wears your tires out faster.
Savings:250 pounds of carbon dioxide and $850 per year.

9.  Buy Local Produce - Shop local farmer's markets or check your grocer's shelves for products grown in your area. This reduces transportation requirements to bring these items to your area from other areas of the country or even the world. In addition, buy only seasonal produce to reduce demand for un seasonable fruit and veggies that are imported from other areas.
Savings:Hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.

10. Carpool - To work, to school to the shopping mall. Share a ride with a friend or co-worker and keep unnecessary cars off the road (maybe traffic will improve as well). 
Savings:750 pounds of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year. 
 
11. Be Idle Free - Contrary to popular believe, allowing your car to idle instead of turning off the engine for short stops is NOT better for your vehicle. If your car idles for more than 10 seconds, it is equivalent to the fuel required to restart it. So if you are planning to stop longer than 10 seconds, turn off your engine. So when you are at the drive through window or picking your child up from school, turn off the engine.
Savings:Hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year.”
