How many of us have had challenges with our parents. Our self esteem, self worth has been affected because of how we felt growing up to how we feel about ourselves today. This has been an interesting month for me I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing people whose core foundation has been affected by their relationship with their parents. Now ask yourself these questions; Do you feel you are not being heard? Do you feel your parents have a meme or view point that you don’t agree with but if you disagree with them they make you feel terrible for having an opinion?  Do you feel that your parents don’t show you the affection you would like? Do you feel that you’re not accepted for who you are?

In my personal situations growing up myself with my Grandmother from the early age of 2 years old because my mother was going through her own health challenges. My Grandmother having gone through some hard times herself  they both turned to alcohol for support. I remember growing up in a house where my family would play cards all night, drinking and arguing very loud. They would debate about family, politics, government, post office…etc to the early morning, then cook each other breakfast and go to work.  Now this didn’t happen every night but enough that I had to find a fix so I could sleep at night. I finally learned at a very young age if I put a blanket over my head I could make it quiet enough I could sleep. I would cover my eyes and ears but leave my mouth out so I could breath. I did that most of my life and if I wasn’t able to cover my head I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

I am sure at this point your thinking ok lots of people have challenges with their mothers so what.  The challenge is this, when it affects who you are and what your perception is of yourself then there is an issue.  I was lucky because I learned at a early age from the school of hard knocks that my family was who they are and I could only be around them when they weren’t in their drunken state. But when they were in their drunken state I would take off, went out with friends, slept over at a buddies house…etc. Whatever I could do to stay away when they started drinking.  Plus I learned to ignore them when they spoke to me because to me there was no logic about what they were saying, repeating themselves, talking louder to be heard, both arguing the same point which both of them were right they just wanted to be acknowledge that they were right, which having an outside seat they both were saying the exact same thing. I call this the drunken state, which this is important for later.  I learned my core values very early that when they started drinking I had to get out for myself.  I became very independent at an early age going from dependent on my family to independent.  Now don’t get me wrong going through this at an early age really affected my relationships with girlfriends which I am apologize to all my ex-girlfriends because I didn’t value women like I should.  Because my perception of my women role models at the time were of these 2 women that were strong willed, strong family values, didn’t express themselves physically, and always getting drunk to deal with mental and emotional issues.

There is a lot more to this story but I want to give you what I have learned through the school of hard knocks. Then through learning how to be a Holistic Lifestyle Coach working with people Personally, Professionally, Spiritually, as well learning how to help people overcome Addiction, Obesity and Disease.  Which I now coach people internationally. I’ve learned these fundamental things at an early age and unknowingly applied them to myself:

You have to look after “I”, then “We” which is your family or close friends. The “I” is looking after yourself emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Making sure you are listening to yourself and learning what makes you happy or what makes you feel upset. Not listening to anyone else’s opinion unless you are in a drunken state mentally and emotionally. For example if your Mom tells you are not a good person because you don’t call her every night at 6pm and you believe her. That becomes a challenge and it is good to get a clear outside opinion from someone who can assess the situation logically. Now I told you I would refer back to the drunken state.  A drunken state is when you can’t see clearly the challenges because there are other things influencing you and you can’t think logically.

Now this is very important! I see so many people having low self-esteem, feeling unwanted, or not loved, going into depression or trying to find love in other areas. Here it is: if someone doesn’t want to change it is their responsibility to deal with their emotions and mental challenges not yours. I want you to read that last sentence over and over again until you really get it. This is the key to being able to let go for yourself so you can heal. Let the person that is negative live with their negativity. I know it’s extremely hard to take control of the situation and walk away for you.  There are so many things that will pop into your head, I can’t leave that’s my mom, then you’ll try to reason with yourself. “It wasn’t that bad she called me all those names, she was just upset. If I tell her I love her she will understand and maybe next time she wouldn’t say those things”. Trust me I have been there and can give you my personal experiences.

So many people I work with take on the emotional and mental challenge of their parents. They feel if they can just do that one thing everything will be ok. Their mother will love them because now they see it your way.  Unless the person truly wants to change and has a driving force to change for themselves you are only setting yourself up for disappointment and more heartache.

Going back to the things you need to do

1)      Develop your “I” values of looking after yourself mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

2)      Do not try to change your mother, the only person you have 100% control of changing is you.

3)      Byron Katie had 4 questions which are great to use when you are doubting yourself. Lets say you don’t feel loved is the issue. Here is how to use these questions;

-          Is it true that you’re not loved?

-          Is it absolutely true that you’re not loved?

-          How do you feel with the thought that you are not loved?

-          How do you feel without that thought of not being loved?

I really want you to get this so I am going to give you a dialog example

Question – Is it true that you’re not loved?

Answer – Well I think it’s true, my Mom doesn’t tell me she loves me, doesn’t hug me.

Question- Is it absolutely true that you’re not loved?

Answer- Well I know my Mom took care of me put a roof over my head. I am in a loving relationship with my significant other, I love myself and I am proud of who I have become.

Question-How do you feel with the thought that you are not loved?

Answer- I feel terrible, lonely, sad, depressed, I feel I need to fix her.

Question- How do you feel without that thought that you’re not loved?

Answer- If I didn’t have the thought of not being loved, I would be happy, I wouldn’t be sad or depressed.

I give you these tips to hopefully help you to overcome the challenges that have developed because of issues with your parents. Don’t get me wrong these are just tips to try immediately but I do highly recommend you seek professional coaching/counseling. Don’t do it on your own life is about community and they are lots of people and resources out there that can help.

Looking back a few years ago if someone would have told me about Reiki and how it can heal someone I would have laughed in their face. Having an analytical mind being in IT (Information Technology) if I could not see it, touch it or feel it was not real.   As well being in Go Ju Ryu Karate for 13 years I understood Chi and depending how you stood and breath through a technique you would get more power.  That was tangible for me, but to have someone just put their hands on me and flow energy through me that could heal me was something I could not believe.

Most books you read will talk about Reiki starting in the late 1800 by Mikao Usui  from Japan and developed from there.  I am going to tell you a story which I want you to take it as just that if you want to believe it as a true story or just a fairy tale that is up to you.

Energy healing as we call it has been around BC (Before Christ). Any history book that talks about leaders and kings always talk about having great healers with them using aromas, oils, toning and energy healing to help the sick.  This has been going on for hundreds of years and being passed down to people who were open to learn and wanted to help people. I’m not going to go into any specifics that is up to you to find out for yourself. Today when a healing happens that no one can explain they call it a medical miracle. Be it the body naturally healing itself through reducing stress, eating the right foods, exercising, resting, and treatments like Reiki.

I am sure you are asking at this point what is Reiki. Reiki is the act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain. Through this process if you are more attuned to heal energy could flow through you. This energy is in all of us, think of it as an electromagnetic energy that connects as all too all things. This has been called the Universal Energy or Chi or Ki depending on your background and beliefs.  This energy flows in all living things with a DNA  and works through us to develop our existence. Now with Reiki people who have learned this style of treatment work to balance out the energies in the body by placing their hands on certain areas of the body to help calm and balance the energies.

Does this work? I have read all different posts, comments, reviews as well started treating clients myself just for me to see if it really works. I can honestly say every person I have treated so far has felt something happen and have felt benefits from a Reiki treatment with me.  I have heard that this could be a placebo effect.  I thought that as well working in a clinic with people with real pain and injuries. I have seen things so far that I am still trying to get me head around.

I had one person I was asked to treat who was kicked in the leg training in Muay Thai and ended up with a deep contusion on the outside of his left leg. The Athletic Therapist and hospital both assessed him and told him it would be 3 to 6 weeks to heal.  I treated him once for a 60min treatment and the contusion was gone in 48 hours.  He was back working out within a couple of days.

I had another dancer who was not able to touch her hands to the ground doing a hamstring stretch. She said her calves were just too tight. She has been doing treatment with a massage therapist and stretching daily but it was not helping. I did a 30min Reiki treatment with her and she got off the table as was able to touch her hands right to the floor.  We were both shocked to say the least.

I can go on and on about the stories I have of people I have treated and the results they have found which has really made me a believer.

If you are having any emotional, physical or psychological challenges that you are going through and are not seeing any improvement. As well are not currently working with a Reiki practitioner I would highly recommend you try a few session with one and see how you feel.

This question I get asked numerous times in regards to health, weight loss, career, finances, relationships, people read all these success books, watch videos, talk to mentors, friends and family but find a hard time implementing these systems. Or they just can not figure out why it is not working.

I have followed many of the great motivational speakers like Tony Robbins,  Byron Katie, John C. Maxwell, Stephen Covey, the list goes on and on. What I have found is that all their information works if you are just are able focus and not listen to your negative ego. The Negative Ego will tell you it does not work, it is way too hard, you are not seeing success so it does not work, it is taking too long to see results. All this negative thinking hinders you from your success. Plus you are not doing it for you, it is to prove something to false ideal vs achieving success for you.  Setting out an action plan that really works.

I had to first work on myself to really get down my core needs and wants to find out who I was as a person. What I really needed to be me and what I really wanted in my life and set the foundation.  This is what I call finding your Core Values and Legacy. This foundation is what I used to set my goals for me to achieve so I was able to live my Legacy.

Most of us including me before I learned this key point, I was setting goals that were not aligned with me. They were material goals that I really did not want to work for or want in my life. When I really figured out what I was willing to do and what my core values where success was easy because I enjoyed it.

Remember if you want to achieve success you have to first look after You and build that strong foundation before you can start achieving your dreams.

My journey with using Reiki, and Holistic Lifestyle Coaching .  So many people out there are opening up to the possibility that there is more to health then the medical community. I have personally see people through using the basic life principals of proper nutrition, exercise, sleeping, drinking good quality water and having a over arching dream. Heal themselves from different health issues. Now since I started using energy modalities with this people are able to heal physically, emotionally and energetically just with a few treatments and balancing out the main principals.

I always believed that the body could heal itself if given the right environment, now I have seen it time and time again. I have even seen people over come mental blocks, cold, blockages that they never knew they had.

I highly recommend you find a Reiki practitioner who understand these principals and have a few session with them. It will change your life I can guarantee it, no matter what you are going through they will help balance you out.

I will be doing a serious on healing and the fundamental principals because I keep being asked why do the people I work with see such great results but don’t find it hard. I will explain over the next few editions what people need to really focus on to achieve the health and life they have always wanted to.

Working with people all over the world, it becomes more and more obvious that the Chakra energy system relates to everyone.  I have used this as a tool for assessing the people I work with and helping them overcome their life challenges. I also use other tools, but I really want to discuss the Chakra system because it seems increasingly important for people in our society to know more about it.

There are 7 main Chakras and many systems that work with them.  Below is information about each, in order from bottom to top.

First Chakra “Root” – Located between the genitals and anus. The colour associated with this Chakra is RED. This Chakra is the growth stage of standing up for yourself between of the ages of 0 and 7 years old.

Second Chakra “Sacral” – Located at the lower abdomen, between navel and genitals. The colour associated with this Chakra is ORANGE. This Chakra is the growth stage of challenging motivations based on social conditioning between of the ages of 7 and 14 years old.

Third Chakra “Solar Plexus” – Located between the navel and base of the sternum. The colour associated with this Chakra is YELLOW. This Chakra is the growth stage of self-esteem/self-confidence between of the ages of 14 and 21 years old.

Fourth Chakra “Heart” – Located at the centre of the chest. The colour associated with this Chakra is GREEN. This Chakra is the growth stage of forgiveness and compassion between of the ages of 21 and 28 years old.

Fifth Chakra “Throat” – Located centrally, at the base of the throat. The colour associated with this Chakra is Blue. This Chakra is the growth stage of personal expression between of the ages of 28 and 35 years old

Sixth Chakra “Third Eye” – Located above and between the eyebrows. The colour associated with this Chakra is Indigo. This Chakra is the growth stage of emotional intelligence above the age of 35.

Seventh Chakra “Crown” – Located on the top of the head. The colour associated with this Chaka is violet, gold, white. This Chakra is the growth stage of selflessness above the age of 35.

want to give you this so you get a base of knowledge of what the chakras represent. If you are having a challenge in life, you can see if it relates to a chakra.  If it does, it could be manifesting itself physically, causing pain in that area.  For example, if you’re having pain in the neck or shoulder area, it could be related to communication issues, be it at work, family, relationship, etc. Knowing the cause can help you to start working towards a solution.

There are different ways to balance out the Chakras (depending on what the challenge is):  crystals, incense, oils, exercises or drills. Whatever area you are trying to balance out in your life, take your time and enjoy the process. Each person’s situation is different, and what works for one person might not work for another.  Try a few different ways to balance out yourself and your Chakras. If you don’t feel a difference, I would be more than happy to answer any questions you might have. E-mail me at info@knssconsulting.com with your questions and I will personally answer them.

Balancing out your Chakras/lifestyle is extremely beneficial. By having your nutrition, relationships, finances, exercise and spirituality in harmony, you can enjoy the journey of life by living your legacy each and every day.

Meeting people all over the world and discussing their challenges I find one issue keeps standing out, lack of energy. I can sympathize with these people because I use to work in IT and found myself tired all the time. I would workout, train in Martial Arts but still was not feeling energetic.

Taking courses learning about health and wellness I was able to understand how our bodies work. I was able to change my nutrition, exercise, sleep, and reduce my stress levels right away. I was able to see my energy increase in the matter of a couple of days.  I’m sure you’re asking how did I do it? I’m going to give you 7 Easy Steps on How to Increase Your Energy.

1)      Sleep – go to bed at 10:30pm in your local time zone. This way you get your proper sleep and if there are no other blocking factors or health issues you will start to build energy.

2)      Nutrition- Make sure you are eating Certified Organic Whole Foods (Proteins, Carbohydrates, and Fats) in the right ratio for you unique Metabolic Type.

3)      Hydration – Makes sure you are drinking good quality water Evian, Fuji…etc. ½ your body weight in pounds in ounces per day.

4)      Exercise – Make sure you have a properly designed exercise program that meets with your lifestyle and fitness goals. Remember train — don’t drain.

5)      Harmony – Your life should be in Harmony, don’t take on what you can’t handle. We all have 24 hours in a day 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work (most of us) and 8 hours left over.

6)      Stinken thinken – Too many of us get caught up in what is going on in our lives. We keep going over and over situations that consume us. These thoughts can manifest physically over time if not dealt with.

7)      Have Fun – Last but not least have fun and take time each day to have fun.

These are just simple steps you can start implementing in your life immediately. There are more advance techniques that I do recommend to people. For those of you who want more information sign up for my e-letter which gives more advance techniques at http://www.knssconsulting.com

How many of us look over the past year and say “I wish I could have done… ” or as the New Year approaches you are thinking, “This year I’m going too…”

I have been in the same situation numerous of times, recapping the years that have past and coming up with “New Year Resolutions” to achieve in the up coming year. I can honestly say that each year I have personally made a laundry list of goals I wanted to accomplish and have been able to fully complete only a few. There are people out there that are able to write out their list of 5, 10, 20…etc goals to achieve in the New Year and are able to complete them. But, like myself there are so many people that can not do it because life seems to throw us challenges.

Three years ago, I learned a way to setup realistic holistic goals that not only was I able to accomplish them, but I was also able to enjoy the journey. The system that I learned is detailed and takes sometime to get it down. I want to give you the overview and a few tips so you can start working on your Holistic New Years Resolutions.

1)      Understand and live your Core Values.

2)      Know your Legacy and live it daily.

3)      Do not set more then 3 Goals at a time.

4)      Draw out a mind map on how you are going to accomplish each goal.

5)      Figure out how you are going to do 1 action per day to work towards each of your goals.

Here are some tips that are very helpful for setting goals. Think of goals like children; you have to care, feed, play with and love them. If you can only handle taking care of one child then do not set yourself up for caring for 3 children. I use this analogy because it is so true when it comes to goals. If you can not spend the time, feed, nurture, and love your goal(s) how are you going to be able to accomplish them? That is why when I teach people about goal setting I teach them how to properly manage their expectation and how to set realistic goals. This way they can accomplish their goals without getting overwhelmed and quitting.

Once you have this foundation down you can easily set S.M.A.R.T (Specific, Measureable, Action Oriented, Realistic, Timed) Goals and have a successful New Year!

I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

What do you do? Is the career that you’re in the right one? What would it take to be happy and make the money you need to enjoy your life? Do I have to go back to school? The list of all the questions you can ask yourself goes on and on.

I’ve personally been there through several careers: working in warehousing, security officer, computer consultant and now as holistic lifestyle coach.  Over the years I really didn’t have a plan of what I wanted to do until I became a computer consultant, and the focus was, you guessed it “money”.  It didn’t matter what I did, how many hours I worked. I was only concerned with how much I was going to get paid.

This was my mentality for up to 8 years until I realized money wasn’t everything. I kept getting sick. My back was going out every few months. My health was decreasing. My weight was increasing up to the to my max which was 238lbs. Job security was nice but if I didn’t like the job or the people I was working with, what was I really doing? They say “money can buy you happiness” and I agree that’s true, but only if your happiness is in material things. I found out like some of you reading this article that material things can be taken away as quickly as you obtained them.

I finally got frustrated at work and started to take it out on my job. I really didn’t like my position, who I was working with and started to develop a lot of emotional stress-to the point where I had to take time off for stress leave and quit my job. It was hard since I really had no direction and felt better not being in that environment which made me think it was the job itself. Until I took the Personal, Professional & Spiritual (P.P.S.) Success Mastery Program – created by Paul Chek. This program really made me re-evaluate my life in all areas: personal, professional and spiritual.

I give people the analogy that if you are thinking about planning a vacation you do the research where you want to go, who you want to go with, what type of people are going to be there, and where you want to stay. Then you plan out traveling, expenses, your schedule…etc., I am sure you get the point. Why don’t we do that for our lives? Why don’t we draw out a plan for our personal, professional, and spirituality life? We do it for a vacation but not for ourselves?!!!

Once I finished the 18 week program, I had my blue print of my legacy which has helped me understand my journey in all areas of my life.  It has helped me overcome challenges as well as kept me on track when times were rough.

Since the completion of the P.P.S Success Mastery Program I’ve had my clients develop their own legacies and live their dreams. Over and over again I find that when people develop and live their legacy their lives completely change. I have seen challenges in their lives decrease from weight loss to illness subside. It is amazing that when we are on the right path in life how we  can feel so much better personally, professionally and spiritually.
