Mind Over Medicine Is A New York Times Bestseller!

Lissa Rankin — Mon, 20 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I found out that Mind Over Medicine debuted on the New York Times Bestseller’s List this past Sunday, and it’s all because of YOU. So this is an unabashed love letter. Thank you all for making this great honor happen. I couldn’t have done it without each and every one of you.

Bless you for reading my blog, getting my newsletter, reading The Daily Flame, and following me onTwitter and Facebook, which gave Hay House the confidence to really get behind this book and my mission to help heal health care.

Help Your Child Become An Inspired Leader

Ashley Ryan — Wed, 15 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I recently read a study that said 78% of people are unhappy in their career.

This got me thinking about the golden handcuffs that keep us stuck in jobs that we don’t love.
And how with a little bit of prevention, and planting a seed for our kids, maybe they could have the opportunity to have a career they love.

Self Improvement VS. Self Acceptance

Mike Robbins — Thu, 09 May 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I had the honor of meeting author Robert Holden recently when we both spoke at the Hay House IGNITE event in San Jose, CA (which was an amazing experience, by the way). Robert is someone whom I’ve admired for quite some time. It was wonderful to get a chance to meet him in person and hear him speak live. In his talk, he said “There’s no amount of self improvement that can make up for a lack of self acceptance.”

How To Be "Eggy" When It's Crunch Time

Lissa Rankin — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Ever since my mentor Dr. Christiane Northrup challenged me to “be less sperm, more egg” two and a half years ago, I’ve committed to less of the pushing, striving, and making it happen “spermy”-ness that has always been my modus, in favor of more attracting, magnetizing, and receiving that characterizes the oh-so-divinely feminine egg. As Martha Beck said to me when we were discussing this, “Lissa, the egg is just bigger.”

Learning To Find Peace In The Confusion And Uncertainty

Michael Eisen — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

2013 has certainly been an interesting ride for me so far. Coming into the beginning of the year I was riding a big high! My first book had just been published by Hay House, my business was flourishing, opportunities to empower youth and parents were abundantly flowing into my life, I had absolute clarity on my life purpose (or so I thought), and I was in the most heart opening, and love filled relationship I had ever been in. I felt like I had finally “made it” and was truly content in all areas of my life! And just as I started to get comfortable, everything began unravelling before my eyes.

Young Woman Doing Well By Doing Good

Dana Theus — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I had the pleasure of chatting with a young woman recently who is living an amazing life and doing amazing things for a truly innovative organization here in D.C. called DC Central Kitchen.

Are You Living On Purpose?

Mike Robbins — Sun, 07 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

I was recently invited to be a speaker for an upcoming online telesummit calledThe Power of Purpose. While I’m honored to be a part of this program, the invitation had me pause and reflect a bit about my own life and work, and specifically ask myself the question, “Am I living on purpose?” My initial answer was, “Yes, of course I am.” However, as I thought about it more deeply, I could see that there are many aspects of my life and my work that aren’t “on purpose” at all.

How To Do Less And Accomplish More

Stacey Curnow — Sat, 06 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

So many of my clients come to me because they are working all the time and they are exhausted. Every day feels like a little death.

Happiness and success are obviously not based on how hard you work. But what’s the alternative?

Stop Putting So Much Pressure On Yourself... Start Pouring On The Self Compassion

Christine Arylo — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves?

Have you ever stopped to look at just how much undue pressure you put on yourself, everyday. To get things done by some self-created deadline, to get a super human amount of things done in a day or month or year, to achieve things faster than a silver bullet?

Compassion Quiets The Mind, Improves The Body, Embraces The World

Guest Author — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 05:00:00 +0000

For most it probably seemed like a pretty insignificant coincidence (if anyone even noticed). For me it was proof positive of the remarkable influence for good included in human consciousness.
