by Krista Xiomara

Turning Projections into Reflections

Spiritual Psychologist Billy Lee Meyers, Jr. defines projection as “what happens to us when we experience out of balance emotional reactions to a person or situation, then blame the person for our reaction.”

Drink Water + Breathe Self-Compassion

by Krista Xiomara

Drink Water + Breathe Self-Compassion

We need more people in this world practicing self-compassion, so we can build a more kind, forgiving and empathetic Earth. Each time we practice self-compassion, we teach our own ecosystem how to do it as well. The work we do within ourselves has ripple effects, even when we cannot see them.

The Twin Flames of Contentment and Gratitude

by Krista Xiomara

The Twin Flames of Contentment and Gratitude

Contentment taught me how to be here in this moment and really appreciate everything I had and didn’t have. You see my dissatisfaction with life was causing me suffering because I wanted things to be a different, better, or people to be different. I was struggling to accept and meet life where I was.

Rumi's Infinite Wisdom and Guidance

by Krista Xiomara

Rumi's Infinite Wisdom and Guidance

Being on a spiritual path, can be ambiguous. As we move away from strict doctrine, texts, and religion. We are shifting towards relying on our individual connection with Divine, to show us how to move in the world. In a sense, we are returning to our roots when our relationship with God was not defined for us, but by us.

Trust Yourself

by Krista Xiomara

Trust Yourself

Practicing listening to ourselves, aligning with our instincts and intuition help strengthen our ability to discern, decide and create inner dependence and trust within ourselves. Our unseen senses are like muscles, they must be used in order to become sharp and strong.

Make Peace with Yourself

by Krista Xiomara

Make Peace with Yourself

Making peace with ourselves, starts every minute of every day. We are not perfect beings, we make mistakes and we don’t always love ourselves as we should. Every day we can offer a tiny bit of peace and loving-kindness to ourselves. That peace and loving-kindness is transformative and it can heal the wounds inside of us that we have created.

Play to Your Strengths!

by Krista Xiomara

Play to Your Strengths!

The biggest impact on my career, is finding and working with individuals who excel in areas that are my weakness. In your work life, office politics and power plays can get even the best of us. I’ve found focusing on and embracing other people’s strengths and to not feeling threatened by them gives me more purpose and drive in my job.

The Gift of Synchronicity

by Krista Xiomara

The Gift of Synchronicity

Synchronicity was defined by Jung, years ago as "meaningful coincidences." The academic definition is: "The simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible casual connection."  

I believe fully in the idea of synchronicity.

Embrace Life's Imperfections!

by Krista Xiomara

Embrace Life's Imperfections!

How is it that we've come to expect perfection in our lives, in an imperfect world? How is it that we have come to believe we can control everyone and everything? It's kind of silly when you think of it, trying to control what we have no power or will over. Or being disappointed when life does not manifest in the way we imagine it will.  What can we do to let go of our need to perfect, expect and control?
