I’ve read some pretty incredible books that are all about raising our personal frequency (vibration) to that of LOVE vs fear, JOY vs discouragement, ABUNDANCE vs lack, and so on.

We are beings of energy and we can either vibrate at a high or low frequency.  

In the low frequencies we can get stuck and tend to live more in survival mode as we come from the place of fear, discouragement, lack etc. In the higher frequencies of love, abundance, and joy, we have more fluidity in our life’s choices and are more likely to manifest the abundant life we truly desire.

It’s about taking 100% ownership of our lives . WE are the ones that brought us to THIS point on our life’s journey. It was never someone else that made us walk this path or that controlled our responses to our circumstances. And with this reality, comes the truly awesome fact that we have the power to create the life we desire ...

If you have found yourself wading through the muck of circumstances,

and feeling even the slightest bit sorry for yourself (something I of course never do! lol),

or if you are harbouring resentment towards someone,

you are dropping into a lower vibration.

If you are angry at your circumstances or yourself,

or if you are fearful of what may happen next,

you are dropping into a low vibration.

If you are feeling love, joy, and happiness, you are raising your frequency and vibrating at a much higher level, and can actually create, attract, and manifest more of what you want in life.  

Most of us fluctuate between higher and lower frequencies, sometimes on a daily basis, and there are some great ways to make positive shifts in the upward direction if you so choose!

Here are just a couple of the many ways you can shift your vibration and truly begin to live the life you desire…

1. NOTICE  your ‘ woe-is-me attitude' and you can then begin to take ownership and responsibility. Awareness is always the first step, isn’t it?! Sometimes we aren’t even aware of how low we are, until something triggers us to realize it. I’ve found that the more I consciously choose to recognize my negativity, or my victimhood, the more I can purposefully bring myself out of it. Until I notice it, I’ll sit in the muck of it and feel sorry for myself. Noticing, begins the journey to taking ownership of our own attitudes and behavours. The only person in life we have any power to change, is ourself. So identifying when we are sitting in a low vibration, and choosing to take responsibility for our attitudes, can begin the process to raising our vibration, little by little.

2. FORGIVENESS  is a big key. I attended an academic event once, where some very intense issues were being discussed and the statement, "one does not have to forgive someone in order to move forward” really ‘jarred’ me and I realized that I disagree. Yes we can still move forward in some way of course, however I don’t believe we will completely move forward until we forgive.  I want to be clear here that forgiveness is not about permitting the other person to hurt us, or about allowing them to push our boundaries, rather it’s about releasing the internal suffering and letting go of the emotions that are attached to the suffering, so that we can be set free. It’s actually a rather positively ‘selfish' thing to do because this is about our personal healing and wellbeing.

As long as we hold on to our grudges, we continue to carry the burden . This can become a blockage in our growth and keep us in a lower vibrational frequency. It’s like carrying around a boulder in a back pack. Everywhere we go we have this boulder with us. When we have beautiful moments or sad moments, this boulder remains with us. Pretty soon we even forget that the boulder is there. We become so accustomed to the weight and size that we no longer notice the 'indentation on our back', the 'red marks on our shoulders', or the 'subtle limp' we now have from the heavy load. Upon forgiveness of others, and sometimes forgiveness of ourselves too, we can release the boulder and begin to heal and repair our back, our shoulders, and our leg, so to speak.

Sometimes I’ve asked out loud to the universe, "how I am supposed to forgive so-and-so”? And what I’ve found is that even the desire to forgive, without knowing ‘how’ it will happen, begins the process. Once I’ve declared that I’d like to forgive and move forward, things align to support me with that desire . Whether it’s a beautiful moment with a friend who speaks such wisdom and truth that I start to shed the pain and anger, or perhaps it’s something I’m reading or watching that sparks my heart’s desire to 'let go’…whatever it may be, with awareness and a desire to forgive, I can begin the process. It’s a process without a set end date. Starting the process is half the journey to being set free.

If we truly want to raise our vibration and frequency, we must take 100% ownership for our life, notice our attitude, and remember that forgiveness is absolutely one of the greatest ways we can begin this process of moving into a higher frequency.  Once we begin this process we will begin to see other things line up in our lives that will move us more towards the abundant life we truly desire.

I’ve noticed this in my life, and I know you will too!

To your abundant, high vibrational life!

Let me get straight to the point. I have been around the block…in Network Marketing that is. I have been approached by perfect strangers to join their company. I have been invited to almost every home-party business there is. And I have heard all the stories of failures, lost friendships, lost money, lost time, and lost reputation. Yuck.

 When I first began exploring the idea of network marketing I was 23 and newly married. I was approached by a friend who said I should check out her amazing skin care line that gives you beautiful skin and you get weekly pay checks by using it. My husband and I were even enrolled in a company shortly thereafter, that was just about to go viral and transform online shopping. It didn’t, and truth be told, I never took the opportunities seriously in the first place. I was simply not inspired to do anything with them.

 Fast forward to another time and season in my life when I found myself exploring everything. I looked at every home-based business. I put together proposals to do contract work for other companies. I had inventions I created. Upon further study, nothing seemed worth my time for the amount of money I would generate. But I kept looking.

 One fateful day I came across a company in the health industry - one of the fastest growing industries, and one that is stable no matter the economy- and it was a direct sales company... in Network Marketing. Ugh. I announced my findings to my family and friends. The reactions were strong to say the least. I was told things like;

 "You will piss of all your friends and family."

"It's illegal."

"It's a scam."

"You won't make any money."

"It (Network Marketing) doesn't work."

 Something inside of me decided to go ahead and do it anyways. Against all the wisdom from my usual sources, I decided to follow my gut and build a network marketing business.

 Here's what our team here at Holistic Life & Biz and I, have found to be true about Network Marketing (NWM)...

  1. Network marketing is just like the restaurant industry . There are some great ones and some not so great ones. Pick one that has great service, world class products, outstanding training, and a solid reputation, and you have a recipe for success.

  2. NWM at it's base, is merely a distribution method. Products bypass traditional retail processes, and go direct from manufacturer to the customer. With our brand partner, we don't even have paperwork…which means I can be totally successful! Woohoo for no admin!

  3. The marketing inside Network 'Marketing' is word-of-mouth advertising - truly the best form. Instead of paying big bucks to advertise on TV or with other media, companies rely on happy customers to share their stories. That's free advertising. Wouldn't you want free advertising for your business too? It's just a good gig.

  4. The companies that are illegal are companies that do not have products or services they offer. So the next time someone tries to convince you to buy into something with cash and you give your money to them and they give it to the next person, and eventually you make a million dollars off your initial investment, run away! That is an illegal pyramid or pyramid scheme or maybe even a ponsi scheme. Just run away.

 NWM companies are legal and our brand partner is even traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Actually, did you know Franchises used to be illegal? If you are still thinking NWM is illegal or not a legit way to do business, start to look at the fact that Network Marketing has created more millionaires than in any other industry. Period. How crazy is that. And the million-dollar earners I know personally are people who truly make a difference in this world.

  5. NWM is the best way to create time freedom & financial freedom . While I had a great career before NWM, my time belonged to my employer, and my income was decided by my employer. Now my time and money is my own. If I want a raise, I give myself a raise. If I want to spend more time doing the things I love, I get to do that. If I want to spend more time on my business, that is my choice. I have such freedom!

  6. Are there dirty rotten scoundrels in NWM? Of course. Are there dirty rotten scoundrels in the non-profit sector? In the corporate culture? In politics? Yes indeed. And there are also super wonderful, amazing, heart lead, beautiful people in all of these sectors, NWM included. Find a company with a powerful vision you can align with, and be the person who edifies the industry rather than the scoundrels who give it a bad name.

 Ultimately, base your decision not on what someone else has told you about NWM, or even about what your past experiences may have been. Look at who you are, what you want from your life, what you can contribute, and what company and team holds similar values to yours.

 Our brand partner is a company with a very powerful vision;

  a world free from pain and suffering - a world free from disease and that our company's families, will be the healthiest on earth. We invite others to share our vision, love life, and live it to the fullest in happiness and health…

  WOW...That's a big hairy audacious goal and we love it. Super easy to align our personal visions with such a powerful global vision.

 The truth about Network Marketing is that it's an incredible opportunity for someone just like you, to be able to create the life you want.  We on the Holistic Life & Biz team have all said YES and are so happy we did.

 NWM has been the best way for me to create the life I always dreamed of but never knew how to make possible.

 If you want to know more about how I did just that, and how others on our team did the same, connect with us here on our Partner with Us page to learn more!

For the best of freedom,

“If your intention is clear the mechanism will appear.”

-Brian Klemmer

My whole life I’ve been taught to give. And I well remember the first time I began doing so without my parents prompting. I’d been watching a World Vision infomercial and was bawling my eyes out. I couldn’t resist the temptation to make a difference in a child’s life and I’ve been supporting children around the globe ever since.

While I give a percentage from my earnings to various charities, there came a point where I began to feel compelled to be more intentional about what I’m giving, as well as more purposeful in creating the income that will enable me to give more and more.

What I noticed one day was that I hadn’t invited my kids to do the same. I had not created a culture of giving and generosity within my family. I decided that now was the time to be a whole lot more vocal about what my earning goals and contribution goals were so that we could begin to celebrate as a family, every time donations were made.

I drew up a big thermometer on poster board and wrote our giving goals for that year, which were admittedly a bit stretchy for us. This created an element of fun for our family especially when the kids got to colour in the thermometer and write out the amount given.

We’ve talked about the importance of giving every time we earn money, whether it’s birthday money or money from a baby-sitting job. The kids are totally on board now and I’m loving the conversations we’re having around who benefits from our giving.

My vision began to expand to include my business partners. I began to get curious about what it would be like if we had a culture of generosity and giving within our team. What would the ripple effect be if we committed to our giving goals and then set out to earn the money to make that possible? How much more motivated would we be to create more income, when we knew that every penny we earned and percentage we gave, would make an impact globally?

We have only just begun to envision what this will look like over the long term. Perhaps the ripple effect of creating a culture of giving will reach well beyond our current imaginations. We're sure open to that!

If you are looking for a tribe to belong to that’s all about giving back while also creating abundance in your own life, we’d love to connect with you. Click here to learn more about partnering with us… (link to partner with us page)

Looking forward to connecting with you,
