Activate Your Abundance

This workshop is about becoming aware of the  abundant future you'd like to create and giving you the tools and steps to get there. 

The universe is endlessly abundant and constantly wanting to gift to us. It's the barriers that we put up to receiving that keep us from creating what we know is possible.

What if you could clarify your vision, amp up your frequency, and move from a mindset of lack into abundance?

Emily will be giving you dynamic tools and simple questions to create more abundance and ease in your life than you thought possible.

This Workshop Is For You If You'd Like To:

Increase Your Creativity And Productivity

Release And Clear Old Beliefs And Systems That Hold You Back From Success

Create More Joy And Therefore More Money (Money Follows Joy!)

Nurture And Nourish Your Life, Your Business And Your Creations

Investment = $40

Upcoming Class Dates: Sunday April 19th, 2-4PM at The Lotus Center

Bring = pen/pencil and paper/journal

How to Have a Better Quality of Life

Have you been feeling the ups and downs of this time of year? Busyness for sure, maybe even overwhelm? Stress about seeing family or getting everything done on time? Sometimes things are moving so quickly, I forget to just enjoy the moment, play, and have fun. Isn't that what life is about, and especially this time of year, anyway? I have been facilitating a lot of Access Consciousness Bars classes and Access Body process workshops lately, and I am consistently humbled and amazed at the changes and openings it creates for people and all of those around them. I look back over the last 2 years, and my life has grown so much, the ease, the joy, the possibilities. And from my interesting point of view, Access Bars has played a HUGE role in all of the awesome changes that have been showing up. Are you still wondering what the heck getting your Bars run can do for you? Why in the world touching some points on your head would do anything, let alone change your whole life? Trust me - I know it sounds crazy. But, are you like me - do you know something more is possible? Are you looking for a way to create the life you KNOW is possible? Is now the time to really start doing the things you've always wanted to do? (Rather than just thinking about them, or coming up with reasons why it's too hard or why now is not a good time....(I have been there and still go there at times ;)). If you are up for trying something new, and are looking to gift yourself a little bit, so you can GIVE BACK to everyone else this time of year - how about choosing an Access Bars Session for you? 

There are Access Bars and Certified Facilitators all over the world - how does it get any better than that? You can even go to the Access website and cruise around to look at people near you. Choose who feels light for you - who jumps off the page - who's name stick out. That is the person for you! If you are near me and it feels light to work with me - yay!!!! You can schedule an appointment or chat with me here. Sometimes taking just 1 hour for yourself can create such peace and calm and space that it makes all the other things on your to-do list get accomplished more quickly and with more joy - because YOU FEEL BETTER! Choose what feels light for you. If you are always following what feels light, what creates space, what relaxes your body - you start living a life of joy. And, those little things we call good luck, or synchronicities, start happening a lot more often and creating a lot more ease. Happy Holidays! I'm offering special prices on my private sessions through 1/4/2015 and you can find my upcoming Access Bars Classes - Intros and full day workshops by clicking here.

Learning #accessbars from he founder was eye opening and cleared up a lot of misinformation. Such an incredible energy last nights with over 1400 people around the globe running bars! #accessconsciousness #consciousness #universe

Had an incredible week with an amazing Cellular Memory #accessconsciousness body process workshop and an #accessbars class yesterday. I am so grateful for all the beautiful people I've worked with this week. #lovemyjob How does it get any better than this? Who else wants to play?

[emilyevansrussell]

I've been loving on my body a lot more lately and took this fabulous #poledancing class with @pattyalfonso777 (she embodies the #phenomenanceofbeauty) I crawled into bed with my 2 year old daughter after class and she was asleep. She woke up and started hugging and rubbing my body- she was so aware of how yummy my body felt! What would the world be like if all women could grow up loving and luxuriating wig the body they created?

Unlock Trauma From the Body at a Cellular Level

 In this workshop you will receive and gift an Access Consciousness Body Process® called Cellular Memory.

Access Body processes are hands-on touch techniques that involve activating natural energies that already exist within the body to heal it and promote optimum functioning. And even better, everyone can do it with ease!

Cellular Memory is actually a very simple and gentle process that requires only light touch on the body. Cellular Memory relieves cells and tissues of trauma. The residue of trauma of any sort—physical, emotional, shock, mental, energetic—can distort the shape of our cells and interfere with their functioning. Applying this energy can restore cells to their former resilience.

I have seen this be an effective process for such things as softening scar tissue (no matter how old the surgery or injury), relieving tension in organs and the body, and overall healing. Great for acute injuries, c-section scars and anywhere that the body is sore. I use this all the time on my children when they fall down, bump heads or get cuts/scrapes.

Cellular Memory is an incredibly dynamic process and creates seeming miracles by allowing the body to choose to heal.It is extremely powerful when used with animals as well as people.

Access Consciousness body processes are easy to learn and simple to apply. They are usually relaxing and restoring, leaving both receivers and gifters relaxed, energized and refreshed. No prior healing experience or knowledge is required.

"I'll Have That!" - How to Have a Rad Life You Love

Have you ever seen someone who is having or doing something in their life that makes you think - "That is awesome. I'd like to have that!"? Maybe it is someone's gift with business, their ease with parenting, their joy for life, their style, their presence in a room, their ability to travel or maybe they have a really cool car or house. Whatever it is, it is something that you'd like to have more of in your life.

And after thinking that , have you ever gone into the wrongness of you for not having it or for not being able to create it? Or maybe you get a bit jealous? Or maybe you come up with all of the reasons why they can do it but you certainly couldn't?  Well, you can tell that I've never done any of those.....YEAH RIGHT!

Okay, so does coming from that place create any change? Does it make you feel light or heavy?

For me, when I start thinking those things, it just makes me feel pretty shitty and down on myself. Then I either stay in that pity party or I start coming up with reasons why I didn't really need those gifts, talents, capacities and cool things anyway. Sound familiar? Yeah, who needs an rad, awesome life anyway?....

I do! Yes, please! I'll have some of that!

So here's an awesome tool that I've learned from Access Consciousness. It's basically called "I'll Have That!" (or at least that's what I call it :))

Next time you see someone doing something really cool in their life, instead of feeling bad about not having it, feeling guilty for wanting it, or jealous or pissy or whatever it is that you do - you can instead say "I'll have that AND I'll have it my way!"

Start shopping for the life you'd like to have. Start choosing the qualities and energies that you'd like to invite into your life.

What people are you drawn to? Who do you admire? What are they creating, having, or doing that you would like some of? Once you identify those things - you can start playing the "I'll have that game!"

This is a game I often play while driving in my car alone. (The people driving past me probably think I'm crazy as I jibber-jabber away to myself!) It goes something like this - 

I'll have so-and-so's ____________, and I'll have it my way! 

I'll have Richard Branson's bank account, and I'll have it my way. I'll have Oprah's star power and I'll have it my way. I'll have Obama's ease and gift with public speaking and I'll have it my way. I'll have _______'s ease with their body, joy for life, etc, etc. You fill in the blank.

Sound fun? Sound easy?

So whatever you do, don't try using this super easy and simple tool for creating change, because it just might contribute to you HAVING A RAD LIFE YOU LOVE!

And you wouldn't choose that for what reason??

As always, have fun playing with this tool. If you have any questions or stories about what this creates for you, I'd love to hear from you! You can comment below or contact me here.

How to LOVE & NURTURE your BODY

So here's a wacky, but very real concept: YOU have awareness and consciousness AND so does your BODY. You are separate from each other, and at the same time, you are one.

That's right - you are not just a body, and your body is not all of you. You are connected to your body in this amazing communion called embodiment. How cool is that?

Now for me (being someone who chose to study Biology and all sorts of other sciences in college -I love to think, analyze and problem solve), and I used to spend a lot of time living in my head and doing what I thought was right, or good, or healthy for me.

However, my body did not always agree with this. And for a LONG TIME, I did not listen to my body's point of view.

I know this sounds crazy, but your body actually has it's own idea of what it likes to eat, what clothes it likes to wear, how it likes to be touched and how much sleep it requires. And these KNOWINGS that your body has, may be very different than what you think or what you read or what your health care providers or society says.

For example, I used to run cross country and long distance for many years and I would get injury after injury... "Hello!" my body was saying "Are you listening???!! I don't like this!" Yet, I kept doing it. I would just take ibuprofen and run through the pain.

Sound crazy? Or maybe you've done something like this?

I also used to have awful stomach cramps and gas and bloating and pain (from the time I was a young child), and I thought that was perfectly normal. I never once had the awareness that maybe my body wasn't happy with something I was eating. Turns out, my body does not like eating dairy or wheat at the moment (at least that's what my body is telling me now and I know that can also change). When I don't eat those things, I have more energy, no stomach issues, clearer and non-itchy skin and no sinus infections! 

Have you ever experienced something like that? What if everything that occurs with your body, is just your SMART, AWARE BODY trying to tell you something? 

What if you could ask your body more questions and LISTEN to the awareness that you receive? What would that look like?

You can ask things like, "Body - 

what would you like to eat?

how much sleep do you require? 

would you like to go outside?

what type of movement do you like?

what would you like to wear?

how and where do you like to be touched?

how often would you like to have sex or be pleasured?

is that pain/stiffness/intensity even yours, or are you picking it up from someone or something else?

And then pause, and just allow the awareness to pervade your world. Don't let your brain interfere or start telling you all the things you think it SHOULD be doing! Your body doesn't like 'SHOULDS'. Ever notice that?

And also, can you be in allowance that what your body desires? IT can change A LOT! It may even be different every day. 

So what does it look like when you start asking your body questions and listening?

That may be different for everyone, but one thing is for sure - your body will be much happier, as will you.

For me, I do yoga, because my body loves the peace, space, and openness it creates. I sleep 5 or 6 hours some nights (and get up and do work or read in the middle of the night) and on other nights, I'll sleep for 10 hours. Most of the time, I wear clothes that feel good on my skin and make my body feel gorgeous (when I don't choose this - my whole body and being feel kind of tired, frumpy, and invisible). Most of the time I eat until I am full (and sometimes that is after A LOT of food and sometimes that's after just a few bites). I choose something to eat that my body practically jumps towards and says YES, That looks YUMMY! And when I don't, I feel icky or too full or tired.  I treat my body to more massages, touching, sex, baths, walks, and time in nature AS MUCH AS POSSBILE! I am now creating the time for things that my body truly desires.

I have finally started to get out of my head, listen to what my body would like, and then do it. AND WOW, - what a friggin' difference it makes!! And my body has been SO GRATEFUL. 

My body has been with me the whole time, just waiting patiently, taking all of the abuse that I've given it (because anytime you are going against your body and its knowing, that's a form of abuse), and STILL LOVING ME.

How brilliant are our bodies??

Would you like to have more fun with your body? More ease in your body?

Then maybe, play with these questions. Start asking, listening, and see what shows up for you.

I'd love to hear from you - whether you post a comment on this blog or send me an email. How do things change for you when you start to be in communion with your body? What magic begins to show up?

Until then - have fun playing, experimenting, and enjoying this amazing experience of embodiment! 

Oh yeah - and some of my most favorite books that have facilitated this change with my body are: "Embodiment - The Manual You Should Have Been Given When You Were Born" by Dr. Dain Heer, "Sex is Not a Four Letter Word but Relationship Often Times Is" by Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer, and "69 Shades of Pleasure" an E-book by Rebecca Hulse and Liam Phillips. And an amazing 30 Day Online Program to get you out of judgment of your body and life by Katherine McIntosh called I'll Have What She's Having.
