How Negative Body Image can be an Excuse for Deeper Intimacy-Video

"I HATE my Thighs!" I don't like my Butt." "I wish I was 10 pounds thinner."  These are the excuses that many women make about not being in a relationship or having sex. "I'm disgusting." "No one is gonna love me anyways in this body."    These are some of the hidden beliefs that many women hold.  After years of blaming my life on my body, I can honestly say, "I DON'T BUY IT!!!!!" It is not your body that you are afraid of sharing with another, it is something way deeper than that. It isn't your body that is keeping you from accepting yourself.  It is something deeper.  Our bodies house HUGE capacity for love and connection. As we shed our fear of intimacy with others and ourselves we open up. Watch this video as I talk about "How Negative Body Image can be an EXCUSE for a lack of Deeper Intimacy." Love, Marla

Embody the Awakening~ INTRODUCING A LOVE YOUR BODY SEXUALITY EVENT

You're invited to the Embody the Awakening Body Image Sexuality Workshop In my experience, there is no way to separate our sexuality from our willingness to accept our bodies and love ourselves. Our sexuality is a beautiful aspect of how we experience life. Without our willingess to feel pleasure and intimacy, we block the most powerful connection to ourselves. Sexuality isn't always about THE OTHER. It is about how we feel ourselves. It is about how comfortable we are with feeling juicy, full and alive. To some, this may feel super scary. I totally get it. To feel pleasure and allow for sensuality in our bodies can feel unsafe.  We can feel violated or scared. I've been there. I remember walking down the streets of NYC so uncomfortable with the catcalls and looks. I would duck, hide, put my head down. I remember getting so upset I screamed at a man at the top of my lungs, " GET THE F&*K out of my face!!!" Ummmm..... not the best response, but at that moment I was doing the best that I could.  Being comfortable in my body as a sensual, sexual woman has been and continues to be a journey. (BTW when I say sexual, I am not talking about playing SEXY and pretending. I'm talking about the authentic expression of  an empowered woman.) Through my continual study of tantra with the great Dawn Cartwright and my recent completion of The Artemis School, for Women's Sexual Wellness, I have learned more about my body and how POWERFUL we are as women. This is why I have created Embody the Awakening - a Love Your Body Sexuality Workshop. If you are ready to take a step into accepting your femininity and sexuality, I would love to have you join my Love Your Body Sexuality Workshop. Are you curious? Want more information? Then let's chat. I want to know about YOU, your story and how I can support you into creating the kind of relationship with your body that makes your life thrive. EMAIL ME  Interested and need more information?

Bringing Reiki into Parenting

HI Loves,

This video is a little inspiration on how to bring Reiki into your parenting.
Sharing Reiki with my little guy is so much fun, because children
have the natural ability to tap right into the LOVE! They don't hold back with anything and LOVE is their language.

Learning Reiki as a parent is a great way to bring in more peace and patience into your relationship with your children. WOW!! Children are great AND they can push our buttons too. Reiki helps me to be present and sllooooooowwwww down.

Hope you enjoy!

Sing along if you want!

How Good Can you Stand it?

How Good Can You Stand it?
I was recently sharing with my mentor about successes that I had with my business. In the span of two weeks, I started working at a Malibu Rehab Center doing Reiki/Massage and I signed three new Coaching Clients. WOOHOO!! I was super excited to have this burst of prosperity show up! And then....... I began to notice fear creeping in. Here's a glimpse of my fear mind in action: "It's great that you feel good now, but you wont be able to sustain it. And you're probably gonna be exhausted from all the work. And not have any energy to be with your family. BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH" You get the picture, right? I noticed I was keeping myself from stepping into a new threshold. And although I was excited, I was comfortable where I was living. I was afraid of what more goodness in my life would look like. I decided I needed to stretch myself. I began to notice my discomfort and began to relish it. Being uncomfortable meant I was being stretched which meant I was reaching for new possibilities.  I was onto something. Through the prompting of my coach, I began asking myself every day, "How good can I stand it?" This simple question began to change all my thoughts. It began to open me up to all the ways that I block beauty in my life. How good can I stand it? This profound question made me confront my fears. It helped me look for the goodness even when I was having a challenging day. This question began to get me out of my box into a yummier space of living. Would you like to join me on March 14th for a 21-day challenge? The How Good Can I Stand it~21 day Challenge. All you do is ask yourself on a daily basis for 21 days, "How good can I stand it?" and see what comes up. See if this question challenges your thoughts around prosperity. How good can I stand it in relationship to my loved ones? How good can I stand it with my flow of income? How good can I stand it with what I look like? Are you in? If so, simply email me at mmreiki7@yahoo.com and say " I am in."  I'll add you to a PRIVATE Facebook page where on March 14th we can start to share our insights, inspirations, reach out for support and create a new movement for GREATNESS. Love, Marla
