It’s a brand new year with a sense of wanting to restart, renew, or even re-invent ourselves. Am I right, Ladies?
Well, I suggest a slightly different perspective…I suggest clearing everything within us to get us back to what we REALLY are…an extension of Divine Consciousness/Source/God.
Why? Well, everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING that doesn’t have the feeling of Joy, Love, Peace or Abundance is out of alignment with what we are…yes, even extra weight.
Extra weight simply means there is energetic congestion in our body that requires clearing. Past experiences, memories, etc. have made us act in ways that sabotage us from having the body that feels best to our Soul – you know the one – the body you feel represents the REAL you.
So, are you ready to lose weight and energetic congestion?
The Biggest Mistake Women Make in Order to Lose Weight
One of the biggest mistakes women make (I did it myself, so I totally “get” this!) is to collect diet books.
I know, I hear you saying, “But Erin, these books are showing people how to lose the excess weight which you say we need to release!”
Wellllll, most diet books stem from one concept…you’re not good enough the way you are.
And, the very reason you buy these books is because of the thought running through your mind, which is, “I’m not good enough the way I am, so I need to lose weight.”
So, by the Law of Attraction, the energy we send out to the Universe is, “I’m not good enough, so I need to lose weight!”
The problem here is the focus.
If you come at this issue of “needing” to lose weight because you’re not good enough, you will attract circumstances into your life that will perpetuate you “needing” to lose weight.
Here at The Elegant Life, our sole desire is to release any energetic congestion that may be blocking our alignment with Divine Consciousness. THIS is our focus.
It seems similar to the one above, but the energy between the two is completely different, and thus creates completely different results.

How would you like me to show you how to make these remaining moments of 2017 truly meaningful so that you move into 2018 with a whole new frequency, a frequency that allows you to step up and into your most elegant, exquisite life?
You may have had a year that didn’t turn out the way you expected it to.
Your dream may not have manifested.
You may have lost someone. Or you may have had to let someone go from your life.
Or, you may have gotten a new job! Received a promotion! Moved cities or countries! Whatever happened (or didn’t happen) in 2017, let’s make 2018 even better!
Step One – To End the Year Right
Reflect on what has transpired over the past year.
Take out a piece of paper and draw a line down the centre.
On the left side write, “What Things Served Me This Year”
On the right side write, “What Things Didn’t Serve Me This Year”
Complaining about what’s wrong in my life instead of focusing on being thankful for what IS good
These are just some examples that clients have told me. Your Soul will tell YOU what worked and what didn’t.
Step Two – To End the Year Right
Underneath your chart write this question:
“Choices I CHOOSE to make in 2018 are:”
Based on the answers in your chart, decide which items would have the most positive impact on your life in 2018.
I recommend listing 2-5 choices. No more. Just making ONE important choice is powerful enough, but try and go for at least 2.
Step Three – To End the Year Right
Be sure that you are following me on either Instagram or Facebook so you can learn when my New Years Facebook Training will be.
In this training I’ll be sharing my FULL process to end the year right. My hubby and I do this every single year and it is just gorgeous. We look forward to it!
So, be sure to follow on either Facebook or Instagram or…even better… be sure you are on our email list by opting in to any of our free gifts on this site. The most popular is the Ebook “The 5 Things You Need to Remove From Your Life TODAY to Manifest the Life You Want.”
I’ll see you next week with my December Favourites Video! My November Favourites was very popular so I’ve decided to continue with the Favourites Series every month!
It was a moment I’ll never forget… I felt complete bliss and fulfillment of every kind.
I was lying on the floor, covered in a warm blanket, listening to some peaceful music at a Spiritual Retreat when IT happened.
A Moment of PURE Fulfillment
Indigo and purple lights began swirling rapidly in my mind’s eye, faster and faster they swirled until I was no longer in my body, I was an energy, in union with Source Energy.
It felt like everythingness and nothingness all at the same time, and it was pure BLISS.
I’ve never really known how to fully express what happened to me but just recently I read in a book by Osho, that the Buddha describes “Nirvana” as meaning:
You have ceased to be; you are just an infinite emptiness like the sky. And the moment you are that infinity, you become full of stars, and a totally new life begins. You are reborn.”
Osho goes on to say,
Bliss is not something that you invent but something that you discover. Bliss is your innermost nature.”
Are You Craving Fulfillment, Bliss & Joy in Your Life?
The most popular question I receive from women is this…
“Erin, how do you find pleasure and personal fulfillment when you’re dealing with everything else going on in your life?”
Some of the “things” women mention are:
a parent recently passing
children getting ready or already having flew the nest
juggling the demands of raising children and work or running a business
health issues
Here’s what I always answer:
“Your level of fulfillment, success, health & bliss is directly related to the distance of where you are now to where you are in terms of knowing and embodying the fact that you are Divine Energy. That you are part of the the Source of All Energy – God.”
(Watch me fully explain this at minute 1:35 in the video above)
If the distance is wide between these two then your manifestations will take longer and your experience of life will be one of multiple growth opportunities so that you finally KNOW and EMBODY the truth of what you really are.
How do I know this? My gap used to be HUGE! Yet I felt I was a spiritual woman and a seeker of truth.
How to Close the Gap Between Where You Are Now & True Fulfillment
Six years ago I was in quite a state.
I was the mother of a newborn, after having a horrific birth experience (watch the video at minute 4:05 where I describe what made this such a medieval type birth!) with a 4 year old just starting school and an international online Parenting Business to run.
During the pregnancy of my daughter I was struggling with a few personal issues that made me fall into a depression, but after that birth experience I fell DEEP into depression.
Why? Because I felt completely abandoned by God. I had spent 3 months preparing myself to have a stunning, spiritual hypnobirthing experience and the fact that it went completely and utterly opposite from what I visualised made me…well…I’ll be brutally honest here…I gave God the finger.
I was done.
My world, my marriage, my body started crumbling down and I nearly lost everything after certain things took place.
Then a friend of mine told my husband and I about a Spiritual Retreat that was focusing on clearing our energy system.
It was at this spiritual retreat, after one particularly intense clearing session that I experienced what I described at the beginning of this post – nirvana and self-realization.
I walked out of this Spiritual Retreat reborn – literally. And life has never been the same…it’s been better than I ever dreamed – all of my desires, dreams, wishes have come true or are coming true as we speak…with elegance and ease.
What if I told you that I have created a Spiritual Retreat just for YOU that has never existed before?
For 3-4 months now I have been putting together the most beautiful, luxurious, elegant and sacred Spiritual Retreat that has never existed.
At this Retreat you will be doing the EXACT clearing sessions that I went through, with the SAME facilitator and oh, so much more!
I won’t go into all the specifics here, you can find them over at The Elegant Life Experience Registration Page HERE.
I talk about it in more detail in the video above at minute 9:30.
If what you read on the Registration page resonates with you, creates a feeling of excitement or desire, please know that this is a sign from the Divine that you need to be there.
Because you are a follower of The Elegant Life I am giving you “priority registration”. Please don’t spend time “thinking” about whether or not to go as I am only accepting 20 women for this Experience and there are ladies here in Dubai just waiting for the page to be open.
I am also doing many speaking engagements in the next few months and that will most definitely lead ladies to register.
This Experience will be THE BEST GIFT you will ever give to yourself! Trust me on that one! I cannot WAIT for women of every religion, faith, and belief system to evolve and elevate like they never knew possible!
There is an Early Bird Price as well, so be sure to take advantage of that. And better still, if you decide to come with a friend and share a room, your ticket is even less!
Ever said one of these statements? Ever heard another woman say them?
Yep, we women have a REALLY difficult time receiving help or pleasure. And it is one of the top reasons we don’t “receive” what our soul truly desires.
Yes, it’s time we take a much closer look at receiving and give it the attention and practise it deserves because your goals, dreams and desires depend on it.
This week’s post and video teaches you two ways to practise receiving – the Human version of receiving AND the Soul version of receiving. Ready?
Let’s do this!
Over the past five weeks we’ve been looking at the attributes of God/Source and the reason for doing this is so that we can EMBODY these traits. We can’t become more Divine, vibrating at a high frequency, and living an exquisite life if we don’t know exactly what to focus on, can we?
Once we learn how to BE these Divine attributes we can start harnessing the power and beauty of it. Not only to create beautiful transformation in our own lives, but the lives of everyone around us.
Today is the very last post in this Series. (There are more attributes of the Divine but I’ve been guided to stop here, so I will)
The final attribute of the Divine I will share with you is…you guessed it – RECEIVING.
Two Ways to Practise & Embody RECEIVING
1. Open ourselves up to RECEIVE from ourselves and others.
When others offer you help – take it! (Even when it feels really uncomfortable to). When you do this you allow the other person to practise the art of generosity, so really it’s a win win!
I have come a long way on this. I am now able to actually ask for help, but still find it a bit of an effort to receive help that is simply offered without me asking.
It’s such an interesting phenomenon, isn’t it?
The one area I don’t struggle with is gifting myself alone time and pampering time. It is such a part of my personality that I require alone time to recharge. If I don’t gift this to myself I become resentful and angry REAL quick! Can you relate? Most ladies that follow me are introverts or ambiverts so I am sure you “get” this.
However, most of my clients, even though they are introverts deny themselves pleasure. They would never schedule regular moments of pleasure because they believe they must give first THEN receive, only there is never any time left over to receive so they just carry on giving and giving.
Until…
They blow up! They yell at their kids and husband and feel like they are depressed, but aren’t sure why.
The reason why is because it is a natural attribute of the Divine to receive, and if you aren’t regularly receiving your soul will feel out of alignment and depressed.
Or, perhaps depressed is too strong of a word, perhaps “flat” is a better word. Life is “okay”, but it’s not fulfilling or full of JOY.
Can you relate?
So, the first thing you want to practise this week is to consciously allow yourself to receive. When others offer (friends, children, family, your husband or partner) say, “Yes, Thank you!”
And schedule at least ONE pleasure for yourself this week. Tune in to your soul and ask it,
What do you require to ENJOY this week?”
Whatever comes up, whether it be quiet time to read a magazine in the bath, go to the movies with girlfriends, book a massage or begin a new novel, listen and schedule it in your diary. Trust me… you’ll be in BLISS! And in return, resonating the vibration of openness to receive to the Universe.
2. Be still & RECEIVE downloads from the Divine.
If you are always running around, shuttling kids from class to class, working, volunteering, travelling and such you will not be able to receive the gorgeous downloads from the Divine.
The Divine has already received your requests, desires or prayers, but now it’s waiting for YOU to receive guidance!
Without stillness and silence in your life it will be much more difficult to live and manifest the kind of life you dream about.
The Elegant Life is a life where you create moments of stillness and silence so that you can hear the actions to take.
I will be teaching the elegant morning meditation and rituals that I do every morning and evening at a Retreat I’ll be telling you about shortly.
It is so very important, to turn off the radio, TV, podcasts and music and just have silence in your life.
When I drive in the car, I sometimes just drive in silence.
When I’m doing things around the house I sometimes consciously choose not to put my lovely music on.
Remember? Spiritual women who live elegantly CHOOSE how their life flows. And yes, I know it’s not always easy. It takes practise, like building a “receiving muscle”, but you will notice a massive difference in the fulfilment you feel as well as the ease in your ability to manifest. Trust me on this one!
Have you ever?
Have you ever experienced magical benefits from receiving?
Have you ever noticed that when you’ve been generous with yourself, gifting yourself something that gives you pleasure that you experience other beautiful experiences or gifts from the Universe?
Have you ever regularly had a morning meditation or ritual and seen and felt the miracles that have transpired because of it?
I’d LOVE to hear about them in the comments!
This is the last post in this series of “How to Connect With the Divine”. If you missed any click HERE to start back at the very first post. I have absolutely LOVED showing you how to embody the attributes of the Divine!
Next week we move on to something really powerful. See you next week!
Love,
P.S. If you enjoyed this post and can think of another woman who could benefit from it, please share it with her. Or, simply share it on your Facebook feed! That way more and more women can be touched by The Elegant Life. Thank you!
Have you ever felt LOVE so strongly that it feels like your body is 100% FULL?
You may look at your child sleeping and feel it, have a beautiful evening with your partner and feel it or meet a new, incredible partner and feel it.
How about Divine love? Have you felt that? Well, that’s what we’re talking about today – from an Elegant Life perspective of course;)
I’m going to show you two ways that you can elegantly connect with the Divine and in turn elevate your life and the collective consciousness of the planet. Ready?
First, let’s review something about energy.
The Frequency of LOVE
The vibration of Divine Energy is called zero point energy. A famous physicist named Richard Feynman describes it as this:
Zero point energy holds an order of magnitude with greater power than nuclear energy.
One teacup of empty space (zero point energy) contains enough energy to boil all the world’s oceans.
The Frequency of Love is very, very close to this zero point energy, so that is why we feel blissful and full and like nothing else exists when we are in the state of it.
And because we are in that high energy state, we raise the vibration of everything around us due to The Law of Entrainment.
This law states that anything with a low frequency that is in the presence of high energy must rise to match that high energy.
So, I can hear you asking me this now, “Erin, how do I get into that high frequency state of LOVE more often than just every once in a while?”
Two Ways to Get into the Frequency of Love
1) BE LOVE
One of the biggest gifts I received while being a Buddhist student back in the mid 90’s was to meditate on BEING an attribute of an enlightened being.
Every single day I do a specific meditation that I learned back in 1997. I’ll be teaching the full version to all the ladies who choose to join me at a retreat I’m hosting in May, but here’s the short version.
Part of it includes me saying,
Bless me with the love and compassion of an enlightened being.
Then I visualise the colour red filling my body…so much so that it overflows from me…through every pore and out into the universe.
Another way I BE Love is:
During the day, when I experience frustration, during Dubai traffic for example, I ask myself,
How would Consciousness BE in this situation?
You can substitute any word for Consciousness here: Jesus, Buddha, God…
The point is to consciously make the choice to BE LOVE. It’s one of the fastest ways of coming out of low energy and putting yourself into a higher frequency.
2) DO LOVE
Do what you love. Every day I wake up totally excited and energised to do my work in the world – my Calling. Do you feel this way?
Have you chosen to be a stay-at-home mom and really LOVE it?
Do you own a business that feeds your heart & soul?
Do you go to a place of work and really LOVE what you do?
If not, it is going to take a lot of energy for you to get into and stay in the state of LOVE and connection with the Divine.
(If you desire to know what your Calling is, start by viewing these two videos.)
When you are DOING something that uses every natural talent, ability or personality trait that you were given from the Divine you ooze LOVE Energy!
It’s easy to stay in Elegant Flow and feel fulfilled, peaceful and full of bliss in this state.
This week’s Focus:
Spend time contemplating whether or not you are BEING LOVE & DOING LOVE.
Notice the times, situations and people that bring you out of love energy and then make a CHOICE to get back into alignment.
You may need to rearrange things in your life in order to serve you better. What might those things be? Changing companies? Letting people go from your life? Setting clearer boundaries with people? Starting a business?
If you need any personal support in finding your Calling or dealing with dissatisfaction in your life please reach out to me.
You can have a Mentoring Session with me by clicking HERE. My work is very powerful as I am guided by the Divine during our session, and by now you know that any time you directly connect with the Divine, change and enlightenment occurs quickly and elegantly.
Until next week!
P.S. If you know of any woman who is Spiritual and adores beauty and beautiful things, please forward this post to them or Share on your Social Media channels. I desire to serve and support over 20,000 women this year and with your support that goal can become a reality. Thank you.
