Beliefs are those concepts, those ways of understanding the world around us, that directly affect our experience of life.  A belief or a tenet is not something that can be scientifically or mathematically proven as a truth, as conforming with fact, but rather it is something we have accepted as truth or chosen to uphold as a truth.  We have chosen to believe, whether the choice was conscious or unconscious.  

Beliefs also form the powerful foundations of our thought patterns and emotions, which shape the way we experience our world.  Do you feel the world is a scary place or a friendly place?  Do you feel that you are always taken care of or that you can never get what you want?  These ways  of thinking are rooted in belief and will directly affect how you experience the world.

I have a set of beliefs that I choose to uphold in my life and in my work.  These beliefs are why I have chosen to help others free themselves and learn to consciously create their own lives.

I believe...

• You are the only person who can make you happy.
• You are the only person who can manifest your dreams,
• You are the only person who can set yourself free.
• Your unique path is found by trusting your inner guidance - your likes, dislikes, dreams, interests, passions, talents and gifts are all clues.
• Every experience and every person is valuable.
• When you take responsibility for yourself (your emotions, your needs, your self-care) and take control of your life, you are then able to direct your energy into manifesting your desired experience.
• You have power in your shadows.  In order to become sovereign ruler of your universe, you cannot deny your shadows; the valuing of self, and therefore the ability to stand in your center and live from that, comes from self-love, but you cannot love yourself if you are in denial of parts of that self. Dark emotions have a purpose too, they have a place, they have power. Acknowledge them and access the power of wholeness and awareness.
• You are a magical creature. (By this I mean we are all unique and this is to be celebrated; our unique interests, talents, likes and dislikes point our way forward in life; we all have different contributions which are equally valuable.  If you thought of yourself as a magical creature with unique gifts, needs and desires, how would you treat yourself differently?  How would you interact with the world differently?)
• You have the amazing power and ability to consciously create your desired life.  Our beliefs shape our reality.  Through consciousness and awareness we can rid ourselves of limiting beliefs and replace those with beliefs that are supportive of our desired experience of life and the world.

I believe that the power lies within us all to consciously create the world we want to experience and through increasing awareness and consciousness we can access that power - we just need to believe in ourselves.  We need to believe in the magic that lies within each one of us.
