I learned the other day that Yoga was actually used in its original incarnation as a means to get into meditation.
It wasn’t about the poses. It wasn’t about being able to put your leg over your bum (through your legs), or bend your head around your back (while doing an arm raise). Nope. Yoga was simply a means to get into meditation. To center one’s self back to the core.
The poses, in essence, are just icing on the cake of learning to breathe.
I’m glad I found that out going into what was by far my most difficult class of my self-imposed 30 Day Yoga Challenge tonight.
[ The Experience ]
As I write this, I feel even more grounded and inward than I have been after my other Hatha Yoga classes. Each instructor is different and tonight my Hatha instructor was different than the others and more intense in his instruction than I’ve experienced thus far.
We did more leg work poses, focused more on the core. Because I’m a newbie, I really had to rely on my breath, to remind my nervous system that all was well as I attempted new ways for my body to express itself.
As I reminded myself to be present with each breath, I went more into a meditative state.
By the end of the session, it was clear that most things we deem “difficult” only get to be that way because of anticipation.
[ The Takeaway ]
As I anticipated less, and focused on my breath more, the “difficulty” diminished as the class went on. Sure, I may have learned a few more poses and did things that pushed my body, but at the end of the day, those were all just extras in the pursuit of my practice of meditation, mindfulness and knowing who I am at my core.
Do you know what I mean?
I’ll have to let today’s session sink in a lil’ more…
For now, I’m off to DJ another weekly live 3-hour set.
Excited to see how my energy will move the music this evening.
I feel a deep sense of calm. I also feel a humbled sense of gratitude for showing up for my SELF to practice yoga and learning to listen to myself, more and more.
Here’s to your health, happiness and WHOLENESS!

Are you a Motivated Entrepreneur?
Do you feel a lil’ stuck in attaining the results you want?
Are you Ready to BREAKTHROUGH in your Business?
—– Hi, I’m Tera*, and I am an Intuitive Health Coach, Award-winning DJ and The Life REmix Expert.
I am here to INSPIRE motivated people all over the world, WHO ARE READY,
to REmix Their Life and Take it to the NEXT LEVEL! Sound like you? Then,
My mission is to help YOU become Happier, Healthier and More WHOLE, NOW!
I use integrative knowledge from my training at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a depth of life experience, as well as my highly intuitive nature, to get you to TRANSFORM one or more areas of your life, as QUICKLY as possible. I specialize with working with women to reduce stress and worry by helping them have a Happy Period! I also specialize in BREAKTHROUGHS! More information can be found at my official website.
Earlier this year, I asked for help from one of my fellow Health Coaches at school. I was trying to get back to center, to my core, which involved getting back into the water again, just for fun.
You see, I’d spent just under 15 years of my life as a competitive swimmer, and when I stopped being competitive, I also stopped enjoying being in the water. I actually had become fearful to just BE in the water, because for so long, swimming meant having to DO something (win, break records, go, go, go). With a lil’ bit of encouragement, the Health Coach I worked with helped me to come up with a personal mantra earlier this year:
All is Well.
As the months past, I had almost forgotten my mantra. Today I was gently reminded of the importance of having a personal mantra when I attended my first Hatha Yoga Class.
[ The Experience ]
The movements were repetitive. They weren’t to be forced. The mantra we used:
Here. Now.
As we inhaled the movements, we breathed in presence.
As we exhaled and moved, we released into the Now.
I found myself listening to my body and going deeper into each repetition, easier, more easy than how I had started when class begun.
[ The Takeaway ]
Our personal mantras usually sound like this:
I’m Tired. I’m late. I’m busy.
And what happens? Well, naturally, we get more of that which we think (thank you Law of Attraction!) Our mantras become us.
I learned today to settle into the CHOICES I can make for myself each day, moment to moment. I can choose to be busy, or choose to be immersed in the fact that all is well. Just the same, I can choose to be lost in “out there”, or simply in the loving, supported blessing of BEING. Here. Now.
What’s your personal mantra?
Here’s to your health, happiness and WHOLENESS!

By the way, this is one of my longest posts, but I wanted to make sure I covered as much as possible, though I only highlighted everything I experienced this weekend. 🙂
Ready? Let’s dive in…
[ The World’s Largest Nutrition School ]
International Participants join the stage at the November IIN Conference!
The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, or IIN, is celebrating it’s 20th year and is THE World’s Largest Nutrition School. At this weekend’s conference, there were students attending live and via online from places including: Moldova, London, Canada, Kuwait, Mexico, Poland, South and West Africa and Australia, in addition to the USA!
IIN is a GLOBAL community.
I am glad to be a part of the ripple as a current student. My graduation is February 2015, and in the time I have been a student, I have learned way more invaluable information and experienced transformation more priceless than my tuition can be “valued” at.
Part of the invaluable information and priceless transformation has happened “outside” of the classroom, via the LIVE Conferences.
[ The Conference Speakers ]
We had a lot of great Keynote speakers, as well as past and present graduates who shared their stories throughout the conference. Here were some of my favorite speakers of the weekend (Click on the images to see the comment threads on Facebook):
Daniel Vitalis inspired us to REWILD ourselves!
Catherine Collautt gently guided us to vibrate higher!
Manisha Thakor taught us the 7 Keys to Investing (made Simple!)
Jennifer Esposito share her compelling story of living with Celiac Disease
Venus Williams motivated us to listen to ourselves and dig deep to be our “11”!
I don’t know where to begin. But I will share with you 5 Highlights that I learned that you should know about to further your health, happiness and WHOLEness.
Remember: you can click the images to head to join/read the Facebook threads for the highlights!
You can invest in your future, right now. Here are the tools that Manisha Thakor Recommended (PS: Read more About Manisha to know whyyou may want to listen to what she says!)
Your blue screen is messing with your health and sleep! I’m all about raising my vibration and consciousness, and I’m also an Early Adaptor. If you are too, then this is for you!Daniel Vitalis introduced us to f.lux, which, “makes the color of your computer’s display adapt to the time of day, warm at night and like sunlight during the day.” Learn more and download it here: https://justgetflux.com/
Just Get F.lux!
Fermented vegetables can be easily homemade. Did you know all illness begins in the gut? Did you know that a good way to keep a healthy gut is through fermented vegetables (probiotics)?Well, whether or not you knew it, making fermented foods is really easy, and with the Perfect Pickler, it is made even easier (and cheaper)! There’s no more excuses for a healthy belly! http://www.perfectpickler.com
Health Coaches are a viable solution. “Bought” is a powerful film exploration into the big money field of Medicine. Watch this informative trailer here: http://youtu.be/ckOVDMDiZbk
Health Coaches are on the rise and making an IMPACT! There is now a newly formed community of global Health Coaches, called the International Association for Health Coaches, which was spearheaded by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition‘s Founder, Joshua Rosenthal.I am a PROUD member! 🙂
If you feel you’d like to work with a Health Coach,
Right now until December 1, 2014, I am offering complimentary Life-REmixing Sessions, where we can talk about your goals, dreams (and how you may be getting in your way), and how we may solve some of your problems as we work together!
Book an Appointment With Me
for a FREE 50 minute Life-REmixing Session:
(make sure to choose the “Schedule a FREE 50 MIN Chat With Coach Tera G*!” option)
Schedule a session with me, even if it’s 2AM. I’ll get your message.
PS: You can be anywhere in the world, as I conduct most of my sessions via Skype or my Free Conference Line. 🙂 I currently work with clients in the UK, Los Angeles, New York and Canada.
I look forward to connecting with you!
Oh, and here’s a link to learn more about who I work with. It also includes a replay of an audio class I held that covers the “Top 5 Reasons To Work With a Health Coach.”
[ Closing Remarks ]
So, the big question is “Are health coaches future of Health Care?”
Watch this short video and do let me know your thoughts:
Will Health Coaches be the future of healthcare? Doctors are trained to treat illnesses, but they do not help their patients change the behaviors that lead to them. Health Coach and IIN graduate Maria Marlowe explains why Health Coaches fill a unique role in the medical field that is becoming evermore crucial.

Today, Nov 8, 2014, is my 31st birthday and I am so happy and grateful to be alive!
There is so much to celebrate, and being born under the sign of the Boar, I can truly say that I feel like one lucky pig…
A year ago today, I was planning on ending my life, once and for all. The months leading up to my 30th birthday were just one toxic memory and traumatic event after another. I looked around and thought to myself, “this is not how my life is supposed to be.”
As it were, here I am 365 days later, celebrating life.
I have overcome so much in the last 30 years, and in the last year, I have truly gone through a transformation of epic proportions. I have shed my old Self and old patterns, toxic situations and people to become the fully Awakened Being that I am today. A WHOLE Being who inspires others to reach their full potential as an Intuitive Health Coach, and who moves people through music as an Award-Winning DJ.
I get to do what I love every day. I am in love with myself and my life. And I look forward to being wed in August of 2015.
I have so much to be grateful for as I celebrate my 31st birthday today:
I am grateful for all of you who read and support my blog!
I am grateful for the Institute For Integrative Nutrition for being a catalyst for much of this year’s transformation and growth.
I am grateful for my partner, my Twin Flame, my best friend and the funniest person I know (aside from myself… 😉 )
I am grateful to be sober, heading into my 2nd year anniversary Dec 7, 2014.
I am grateful to live in the best place on Earth.
I am grateful for water.
I am grateful for beautiful connections with genuine people who realize life is meant for joy.
I am grateful for my grandpa, whom without his love and support, I’d not be here.
I could go on and on, but I think you get the sentiment.
So, where ever you are, no matter how down you may be, no matter the fears and worries you have, do one thing, take one step, make one action, TODAY, in the direction of a life worth living.
Because if I can go from experiencing homeless and the Darkest Night of my Soul to re-emerge and stand in my purpose to Live on Purpose,
well, then, I know you can, too.
I believe in you. Do you?
Here’s to your health, happiness and WHOLEness!

3 Smart Strategies to Create More Time In Your Day
OK, so let’s be honest, you can’t really create more time in a day.
The fact is, you get 24 hours to spend however you choose, and whether you spend it wisely or spend it foolishly,
it’s yours to do with as you wish!
So, then, how can you “create more time in your day” when it’s pretty much set in stone?
