If you have followed me online for any length of time at all you will know that my life and my business are run from a place of mind ~ body ~ spirit.  Recently I had the opportunity to attend the screening of Dr. Wayne Dyer’s new movie “Ambition to Meaning: Finding Your Life’s Purpose” and posted that in my blog on January 9, 2009. I am hoping that you have had a chance to see this movie or have ordered it on DVD.

The movie features Dr. Wayne Dyer being interviewed by a film crew at a rustic resort on the California Monterey Peninsula while fictional stories revolve around him, all interconnected and providing similar morals.  Dr. Dyer explains how people identify their lives by their jobs, their possessions and what people think of them. “Before you know it, we begin to identify ourselves with the possessions we have,” Dyer explains. “The dilemma here is that if you are what you have, and things go away, then who you are also goes away in the process.”

This can be especially difficult during economic downturns or other times of personal financial stress.  “The real purpose of life is just to be happy, to enjoy your life, to get a place where you’re not always trying to get someplace else,” Dyer says. People spend their lives struggling, trying to be someplace that they’re not. They never get to arrive.”

Dr. Dyer believes that we all come from a source, and that this source is everywhere. If we align to this source we will find what is missing in our lives and our true purpose. I agree.

One of the most commonly asked questions of me these days, is “how do I keep myself healthy and centered during such stressful times?” There are many things that you can, and should do to keep your body and spirit healthy. I suggest that you meditate at least once a day, eat light healthy foods, drink plenty of water, get regular exercise, stop watching the news and stay in touch with your source. I also suggest a spiritual and physical detox to cleanse your body of built up toxins. When your body feels lighter and refreshed, your mind is much clearer.
