MY STORY FEATURED IN LIFE SPARKS
For the first time, I publicly share my experience of having my entire life completely turned upside down in the blink of an eye. On the day that I was to start my new life, a car event left me with a major brain injury and my new life began.
MOST REQUESTED TOPICS
DESCRIPTION
From simple daily irritations to serious traumatic experience, we have long been trained to respond to chaos by landing inside of it, fully engaging and responding back with our own personal expression of suffering.
This one habitual pattern is responsible for much of the pain we create and amplify as we walk in our local and universal world.
Awareness of our pain, and acknowledging it is a healthy step, but it’s what we do with the pain after we recognize it, that is the key to living a peaceful and abundant life or one that is mired in misery.
We have the capacity within us to utilize any difficulty as a transformational tool, to increase our consciousness and to be at peace.
This is indeed a revolutionary concept and the key to living an exceptional life.
Selina will discuss this completely new lifestyle, of using difficulty as a transformational tool to go to peace.
Listeners will be invited to download a link where they will find a practice that will empower them to turn any difficulty into serenity.

DESCRIPTION
Moving forward in our lives from higher vibration enables us to create lives that are blessed and filled with abundance.
Most of us say we want that and yet when we are faced with difficulties with losses, we immediately without question go to lack. Loss, the word itself, speaks to lack.
We lament jobs we have lost, and grieve people who have left the earth, we are plunged into the depths of despair when we get seriously ill, and we feel a lack of worth when we lose our money.
But what if we could learn how to experience our losses through the frequency of joy? What if our losses were given to us as an opportunity to increase our consciousness?
What if each piece of pain was actually the very tool we needed to lead a peaceful life?
This new revolutionary lifestyle is not only possible but extremely do able.
Selina will share teachings and stories around the idea how we can indeed of experience loss through joy and then provide your listeners with a meditation that will provide them with the opportunity to practice their new way of experiencing any loss they are now experiencing through the energy joy!

DESCRIPTION
Going through life passing judgment on ourselves and others is so common to many that it isn’t even noticed. Days, weeks and lives are spent judging others and ourselves often harshly and critically.
Clearly moving in the low frequency of energy of judgment doesn’t serve, yet many are oblivious to what seems to many a “natural “way of being.
In today’s chaotic political climate even those who consider themselves to be spiritual or loving often give themselves a pass and deride those who think and act differently.
But if we are to be in true alignment with love, we need to hold ourselves in a higher frequency and can we do this by learning how to observe our actions and the learn to use moments of judgments as actual blessing opportunities!
Selina will discuss how we can learn how to observe our actions, and turn our judgments into blessings which is a gift for us individually and collectively.

DESCRIPTION
Spirituality is no longer only practiced in monasteries, on weekend retreats or in deep meditation.
Today’s spiritual beings are asked to live their values in their daily life.
Encouraged to take their teachings off the mat, out of books and workshops and into their lives, many beings want to live their values, yet they do not have a process in which to do.
Negative thoughts, and harsh judgments are so ingrained that higher wisdom during emotionally fueled times feels elusive.
Selina will demystify the process and provide the steps that your audience can use in order to learn how to use their daily life as their spiritual practice, turning judgments into blessings and difficulties into gifts.

DESCRIPTION
As partners, parents, caregivers, siblings, workers and friends we are always being asked to care for others and we mostly happily give and give and give.
What most of us miss is how we need to care for ourselves as much as we care for those we love. We need to bestow grace upon ourselves in order to replenish our own energetic bank account.
For many, giving to others is far easier than giving to themselves.
How many times a day do we criticize, admonish, and find fault with ourselves? How can we learn to listen to our words and note when they need to reflect more compassion and understanding? How can we turn negative thoughts into powerful grace?
Selina will share teaching and tools with your audience as they seek to gift themselves with Grace.

DESCRIPTION
Every day we have exchanges with people, and we end up making judgments, and holding assumptions, large and small about each exchange and interaction.
These judgments and assumptions turn into stories that we repeat over and over to others and to ourselves.
As we continue to repeat our stories, we continue to fuel the energy that we experienced as pain and unknowingly we are the ones who keep the story alive, long past its origin.
As these stories are based on our perceptions, they are colored by our past history of pain and are rarely accuate.
We may go through our entire life living series of perceived stories that we have created.
How do we recognize the stories we tell and leave them behind? How do we not get stuck in the stories that do not serve that we have created about ourselves?
Selina will share teaching sand tools with your audience in order for them to learn how to move forward using difficulties as an opportunity to grow their consciousness, and learn how to leave their stories behind.
