There has been a lot of buzz around Lissa Rankin's article and millions have read it. (link is below)

The for profit spiritual machine is closing down - as it should. 

It is not the end of spiritual teaching, training, and mentoring, and holistic services, but the beginning of ethical, authentic, and honest support by qualified people. 

I wanted to mention something I have been thinking about today given the news about the spiritual community's dark and sordid business and it is something I have been considering for several months. 

I would like to offer a business training program specifically for holistic practitioners - intuitives, energy workers, healers, tarot, numerology, reiki, yoga teachers, light and sound healers, animal communicators - every holistic practitioner could benefit. 

The program would be 6 weeks with training in starting and managing your business, how to make money (very important), how to get clients, marketing, promotion, and customer retention, how to use technology in your business, methods and processes I use and have perfected in 23 years. 

And you would receive a certification from me for completing the program that you can use on your website and in your marketing. 

I have the added benefit of being a business expert, with degrees, over 23 years of experience owning my holistic business, and strong reputation for ethics and honesty. 

The program would give you everything you need to start your business with confidence, clarity, and a very clear strategy and operational plan. This is real business training, not mindset or nervous system fluff. No one who offers business training has my expert credentials. 

The program is planned to start March 21 with an early signup offer. Cost would be affordable - less than $500.  I do not believe in charging thousands for programs, I never have. 

If you do not need startup business training, I am also considering a monthly membership for holistic practitioners that focuses on your particular business issues with training, coaching, and Q&A sessions that would also be affordable. 

Do you need something like this and are you interested? Let me know in the Facebook post comments and watch your email for more details. 

I believe this is needed and I am the most qualified person to teach it. Plus I want to give you the opportunity to start your business the right way and receive the revenue you deserve. 

Here is the article by Lissa Ranking at this link. It is long but very eye opening. 

Now we move forward and those of you who have a calling, it is time to stand up, speak up, and shine. 

Those of us who have been doing this work in our corners for years and who have been overshadowed by an industry that only cared about profit margins and performance, are now vindicated. 

If this is your calling the stage is yours - shine on.

Discipline & Courage Training: Face What You Avoid Every Day

Discipline & Courage Training

Face What You Avoid Every Day

By Leo Babauta

Post on December 25, 2025

One of the biggest changes people want to make is some form of having more discipline — sticking to habits, doing the tasks you’ve been procrastinating on, being more focused when you work, tackling all of those things you’ve been avoiding.

But how do we get more discipline? Is there a magical Discipline Fairy, or is it just what we’re born with, or can we actually increase it?

I’ve found that we can increase our discipline with training — and here I’m defining “discipline” as the capacity to face the things we’re avoiding. With training, you can face these things more easily, longer, more often, and with harder and harder tasks.

I think of this also as “courage training,” because what we’re really training is our willingness to face the things that we’re resisting or that we’re afraid of in some way.

If we can train our discipline and courage, so much changes in our lives: we get better at tackling high-impact tasks that require focus; we start making our way through the more difficult tasks on our todo lists and emails in our inbox; we move important projects forward; we stick to habits better.

In short, what many of us have been craving in our lives.

So how does this discipline and courage training work? Let me share what I’ve been finding in my experiments with dozens and dozens of people.

Set Up Structure

I recommend committing to at least a month of training — more than a month is better, but a month is a great start where you’ll see some strong progress.

I also recommend Courage Sessions of just 15 minutes a day. It will feel like too little, but I find better success by starting with a very strong commitment to 15 minutes than by having a weaker commitment to an hour of training.

Block it off on your calendar each day. Make it unmissable. Pick something you’re avoiding to tackle, before the Courage Session starts. Then take it on, with as much courage as you can muster!

Find the Appropriate Level, Regularly

Two important factors in this discipline and courage training are volume and intensity. Volume is how long you do the sessions (and how often you do it — i.e. 3 times a day vs. once a week).

Intensity is how difficult the task is, for you in this moment. So, for example, if a task is super easy, you might rate it a 2 out of 10 in intensity. But if you’ve been avoiding your taxes for months, it might be more of a 9 out of 10. And on different days, the same task might be more or less intense — maybe last week it was easy, but today it’s freaking you out.

It’s important to find the tasks that are a challenge but that won’t shut you down. So if you’re really not able to face a task, it might be too intense for you right now. Pick something a bit easier. Shoot for something in the 4-7 out of 10 range, on most days, unless you’re feeling super courageous that day.

Find an Empowered Approach

Finally, we’re not looking to just force yourself to do stuff you hate — that’s not likely to be something you’re excited about for very long. We want something that you feel inspired to do, even if it’s not fun.

So think of an approach that lights you up. Maybe you are tackling tough tasks because they’re meaningful, or they’ll help other people. Or because there’s something fun about it, or it might feel like play, or an adventure. Or because it’s a learning experience, something to bring curiosity about, or to bring your gifts to bear on.

Get creative! What would make you feel inspired to take on this hard task? With an empowered approach, you’re more likely to grow your capacity to take on hard, scary things with openness.

Btw, in February, I’m launching my new Courage Through Action training system within my Fearless Living Academy membership program. I’ve been testing it out for months, and seeing really great results. Join us by signing up for my Fearless Living Academy today!

Training Ourselves for Greater Awareness

Training Ourselves for Greater Awareness

By Kenneth Schmitt

Posted on April 19, 2023

When we choose to be carried in joy on the vibrations of Creator Consciousness, we enter a space of unconditional love. This is unknown in ego-consciousness, because there is no element of fear. Ego-consciousness is based in fear of suffering and termination. Intentionally choosing gratitude and joy as our state of being, enables us to become aware of transcendence beyond ego-consciousness. In this realm we can realize ecstasy and fulfillment in every way. This energetic field enhances all life. For us to be aware of this dimension of reality, we must realize it in our inner knowing. This realization happens when we open our awareness intentionally and without attachments to limitations. 

Limiting beliefs about ourselves hold us in ego-consciousness. In Creator Consciousness there are no limitations, and our entry into realization of its reality is personally transforming. Our entire lives change for the better. We do not need to be attached to anything, because we can create everything we want in every moment.  From fear we can switch our focus to love, and we no longer provide our life force and alignment to fear and threats. We are completely cared-for and are beyond negativity. We can realize its unreality in the face of our eternal presence of conscious awareness with unlimited creative ability.

Even without awareness of our creative ability, we are still creating the qualities of our experiences by our thought patterns and emotional attachments. This is our nature, and we can direct it intentionally. We can train our subconscious mind to align with the nature of our heart-consciousness and work creatively with us. When our entire consciousness is in alignment with our inner knowing, we concentrate our creative power, resulting in immediate experience of our creative intentions.

Each of us is unique, and we get to determine the quality of our thoughts and emotions in every moment. This is our creative energy, and it reflects back to us as the qualities of our experiences. It all depends upon how we feel about ourselves. The polarity and frequency of our thought patterns and feelings about ourselves and our conditions magnetically attract resonating energies in the quantum field. All possibilities always exist for us to experience through our recognition and feeling. Through our imagination and emotions, we can bring anything into our realization, when we align in clarity with our intuitive presence of awareness.

Should the Arcturians Take Form and Land Ships?

Should the Arcturians Take Form and Land Ships?

The 9D Arcturian Council
Channel: Daniel Scranton

Posted on March 9, 2023

Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We are always tempted to lower our vibration enough to take physical form, not because we would like to have bodies again, but because we know that we would be taken more seriously by many if they could see us in the flesh. We certainly would get a lot of attention if we walked among humankind, or if we landed ships and emerged from those ships to make ourselves known. You all are so accustomed to perceiving with your five senses that you have come to rely upon them too heavily, and they really do need to be set aside at times in order for you to go deeper with your spiritual evolution.

Many of you know that you can only see and hear a tiny fragment of what is actually available to be seen and heard, and yet, you still consider your five senses to be your most important, your significant tools for understanding reality. One of the advantages that we have in not incarnating is that we can be felt by everyone. We are not limited in terms of where we can go and how we can connect and communicate. We are available to each and every one of you all the time, and these transmissions through Daniel here are meant to train you to be able to harmonize your vibration with ours. 

You can, and you someday will, have this ability, and you will have your direct communication with us. Receiving these transmissions is your training, and tapping in to our insights, our healing, and our love are gifts you will bestow upon yourselves when the timing is right. Some of you are aware of this, and you have tuned in, and you have received the benefits of tuning in to us vibrationally. What you have been able to receive thus far is just the tip of the iceberg. There is so much more that we can give to you, and it is available right now to those who are willing to go beyond the five senses and reach for the feeling that we activate within you every time you read or listen to one of these transmissions. 

You also get to experience more of your Arcturian selves, as you harmonize with us vibrationally, and that is of great service to you. We want you to know how fortunate we feel to be able to connect with you in any way, and we want you to benefit just as much as we do. But in order to do that you must open yourselves up energetically to us. You must let us in and merge with us to fully benefit from all that we have to offer. 

And even though the scenario where we take on physical form and come visit you seems like the better deal, trust us when we say that we know from experience what actually works best. You are not the first planet of beings we have sought to help, and you will not be the last. We take what we learn, and we use it become better at giving, better at teaching, and better at holding space for all of you to become your true selves. And just as you can feel us, we can feel you, and we just want you to know that you are doing so much better in every moment of every day.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.
