Whatever it is that stirs your soul, listen to that. Everything else is just noise. Location: Carlsbad, CA Your soul wants to be fed! Why is it that we pay so much attention to our physical body when it is hungry, but we forget to feed our spirit? I had an ah-ha* moment some weeks ago and came to the realization that my spirit was feeling a bit malnourished. No, I wasn't dying. But something was nudging me to get my ass outside. It stuns me every time I bring myself out the door. It's like this wind of awareness surrounded my presence and I can feel a familiar sense of calmness radiating from the inside out. Every time. And then I started to think about all the times I've felt that familiar sense of bliss. I thought about the time I just laid out at the beach with my soul-lover, took a nap at a leafy garden, volunteered at the Consciousness Expo... the list goes on. The common denominator in each event that took place in my life were all activities aligned to what I love. You feel me? Like the stuff that increases my vibration so much more higher. These were events that had a positive, inspiring, and soul-feeding impact in my life. And I remember thinking like, hold up... Why not do more things that make me happy? It was one of those moments that just clicked, you know? Like that feeling when it just syncs and starts to make sense. From there on, I declared that I was going to ensure myself to incorporate soul-feeding activities into my life. This is what I like to call: Soul Feeding Adventures. #SoulFeedingAdventures It's where we unplug from human responsibilities and just BE. Be immersed in beauty. Be in the present. I feel like it not only feeds our spirits but somehow energetically cleanses the space for more abundance to come through. Why not do more things that feeds me deeply, you know? You NEED to create Balance We need balance in our lives. We can't just keep working, working working. Work so strenuously because that's the only way to make you successful. Work so hard because everyone around you is doing it. Work so hard because mom & dad taught you that's what life's about. Work so hard that it becomes so normalized in your non-working days. Work so hard until you forget about yourself. Work so hard that you experience something called: BURN-OUT, which you unintentionally wilted the spirit. These are all limiting beliefs that we have picked up from society, parents, friends, media, etc. It is sad that the concept of being busy has been so glorified that when we are not doing anything, it is frowned upon and you subconsciously feel guilty for doing nothing. This is an outdated and non-beneficial belief to keep in our minds. At least for me. This was something I had to learn the hard way. It was all for a higher good and I am so grateful for the lesson of contrast that I had went through. I am now a liberated soul doing things that feeds my spirit deeply. It was all because of the simple shift of being conscious of what makes me feel good. And doing lots of it. Having fun has many benefits for your internal health, or spirit.

Prep Time 5 minutes | Total 5 minutes | Feeds 1 person Ingredients -1.5 cups water -1/2 squeezed lemon - 1/4 tsp turmeric - 1 tbsp honey Directions Mix it all up & stir that ish! I have been hearing about the Turmeric rave that's been going on for some time now. It is a yellow/orange-ish spice from India built with powerful antioxidants. I've been drinking water with lemon every day because it definitely gives me a energy boost, increases your metabolism, and it aids in weight loss. I was inspired by my friend, Richelle who made an immunity shot with turmeric (You can find her recipe here). So I was like, hmm... I have turmeric at home, and I just borrowed some lemons from some person's tree (lol), let me go do some research! We had turmeric in our spice collection already since it's a typical ingredient my dad would use for many of his Bengali dishes before. So it was super perfect. For some reason, I felt led to create a little healthy drink to feed my body some healthy, high vibrational foods that will make my body happy. After all, I can't eat hot cheetos every day and expect my body to react happily (although, I wish that were the case, lol). I did tons of research on the benefits that turmeric carries. So here it goes: Anti-inflammatory properties Anti-cancer properties Anti-bacterial properties Battles against free radicals Removes toxins from liver Helps manage depression Arthritis management Diabetes management This is basically what I have learned about the benefits of turmeric. You can totally go on ahead and check out Google to see how else more turmeric can benefit your health dramatically. There is also tons of benefits drinking honey and lemon as well! I have been drinking this for about a week and definitely can tell the benefits I have been reaping. I have more energy, I go to the bathroom easily, my mood is enhanced, I don't feel groggy. It's a great drink to drink in the mornings. TIP: As for lemons, you can probably take a walk around a neighborhood and find yourself a lemon tree with tons of them mothaf*ckas. Lol. I literally did that and here I made an abundant detox tea. PS: I also heard that this detox drink is great for hangovers. I haven't tried that yet. But if I ever do come across a hangover, I will try it out and update you if it remedies the hangover. It is said that it cleanses out the toxins. ​Here is to another amazing ingredient that comes with powerful benefits to our health. Drop a comment and let me know how you thought of it.

How many times a day do you allow your thoughts to take over your mind? For your thoughts to run on auto-pilot? I recently read that we human beings produce about 50,000-70,000 thoughts per day. That is a sh*t load of thoughts if you ask me. Now let me ask you, what are your thoughts filled with? Are your thoughts unconsciously filled with beautiful, inspiring, loving thoughts? Or does your self-talk consist of things like: Judgment Gossip Self-Sabotage Criticism to self and to others Negative past experiences Pessimism Non-stop complaints Blaming others for ____ Comparing yourself to others Anything that resonates in a low frequency Here are some examples: "I'm so fat" "I'm not smart enough" "Ew, I'm so ugly - I can never look like her" He said, She said BS - *GOSSIP* "I can't believe I made a fool out of myself in front of every one in class" *FLASHBACK -10 million years ago* Be mindful of what your self-talk is. It's a conversation with the universe ​​Brief Evaluation of my past & Social Beliefs My mind was set up in reaction to negativity. I used to be this automatic robot producing negative thoughts every single day. These thoughts would consume me so much that it took over my life. It was as if it was a natural thing for me to see my world covered with bullsh*t. It even reflected in my physical life. After discovering how important your thoughts are and reading The Secret, it was like a veil lifted away from my eyes and I can finally see that we have been brainwashed with negative social beliefs. The media plays a huge role in the way we think just because it is saturated in our everyday lives. Whether it is from the TV, magazines, Instagram, billboards, etc, it is everywhere. Not just media, but even family/friends, authoritative figures, conservative religious leaders, news, etc are huge external factors of how our minds are shaped and influenced! It is vital to be aware of the content that is being exposed into our daily lives so that we don't fall into the illusion of what our life is supposed to be like. ​​I'm so grateful for how far I've come. I've brought so much meaning into my life. And that's because I made a choice to become conscious of my thoughts. Which is why I want to share with you what I have learned along my spiritual journey. I intend to raise consciousness in to as many individuals that stumble upon this blog post. I intend to bring an increase of positive knowledge and let my message sink into your soul and make a positive shift in your life just by being aware. For this message has changed my life, and may it bring great change for yours, as well. I have to give a huge thanks to the book, The Secret, for giving me a jumpstart into my spiritual journey and bringing me into alignment with the universe and all the beautiful gifts, growth, lessons, and more that have came into my path. This book takes you into deeper details of understanding the Law of Attraction. This is a great book for beginners that are searching for meaning in their life and want to get out of the traditional way of living. This is why I must reinforce the importance of being conscious of your thoughts. You don't want to accidentally manifest something into your life due to involuntary thoughts that you don't want happening in your life. Thoughts becomes things. So pay close attention to what you are thinking about as it can be attracted into your life. PS: You are gonna find that I repeat things but in different words. That is because I want to embed this into your brain! :) How many of us believe that we have no control of our thoughts? I know that majority of us let our thoughts take control of our lives. I mean like... sh*t, schools don't tell us about how powerful our thoughts are. So what if we monitored the thoughts that we think about? What if we decreased the automatic negative thoughts and saturate our minds with positivity. The Secret states one positive thought is a hundred times more powerful than a negative thought. So why not cultivate the positive thoughts and let that take up the space of our minds. Let it embed into your DNA. The Law of Attraction (LOA) This is where I'm going to bring in my favorite subject; The Law of Attraction (LOA). It basically works like this: What you signal out to the universe, you attract it into your life. Whatever you put your focus on is what will manifest into your life. The trick to this is that you have to really believe it and really feel it. It is also important to leave no trace of lower energies (fear, anger, doubt worries, etc) involved otherwise it contradicts the law of attraction from working. So if you're feeling very happy in your life, you are going to be attracting more similar situations, circumstances, ideas, people and more things to happen into your life. As goes for the opposite, if you're feeling very sh*tty, you are going to attract more negative related things into your life. That's how simple the universe is. The universe responds to whatever vibration and intention that you put out to the world. The Law of Attraction states that whatever you focus on, think about, read about, and talk about intensely, you're going to attract more into your life ​​Mantras + Affirming your Thoughts REPETITION IS SUPER DUPER KEY AF! What I like to do is fill up my mind with tons of affirmations. Affirmations that resonate with what I would like to create in my reality. This is what helps you reprogram your subconscious into a mind filled with positivity. The universe is going to hear the repetitiveness of your affirmations and soon respond. The Secret gives a perfect metaphoric example of how the Law of Attraction works. Aladdin declares what he wishes to the magic genie, and the genie grants the wish into real life. So instead of producing all these negative thoughts that don't even serve us for a higher good, why don't we replace them with happy and loving thoughts so that your thoughts will have an out-picture of a happy and loving reality for you. I can't tell you how much more meaningful my life has been ever since I have been conscious of what my thoughts are producing. You can totally find yourself a mantra that you want to begin affirming into your life. For example, "I am surrounded with beauty and abundance." You can repeat this while you brush your teeth, drive to work, do your laundry, right before you go to sleep. You can honestly affirm anytime you want to. The reason why I mentioned all of this above is because there is no excuse for you to "not have time" to affirm what is a valuable investment into your life. You can't stop negative thoughts from popping into your head, but you can choose to stop letting them control you and your life. Focus on what you do want. Focus on your desires, dreams, aspirations and all that you would like to create in your life. We are unlimited beings living in an physical body. It is so crazy to me that our society doesn't emphasize the fact that you are creator of your reality. Once you start affirming all the wonderful things and situations you would like to manifest in your life, the more fulfilling your life will be. It can definitely be difficult to try to manifest when you are surrounded by negative people and situations. Me and my girl Tai created this video on how to call positive situations and people into your life. You can watch it here. Your environment is everything along with the people that you surround yourself with. Do they lift you? Or do they hinder your growth? We are so fortunate today to have access to information like this. This is the way I see it, if one person comes across this information. This person can be inspired and be led to share the knowledge to their family and friends, and so on and so on. Let's spread this wave and begin living in love and harmony. SUMMARY Do you think more positively or negatively? Affirm and saturate positivity Be clear in what want to create in your life This shift will require monitoring your thoughts And, Always remember: Change your thoughts. Change your world.

Ahhh... It's that time of month again. The New Moon is a very magical time to plant the seeds of your intentions. It is all about new beginnings and having a fresh start. It is when the moon and the sun simultaneously rises and sets at the same time. Our eye capabilities as humans don't let us see the New Moon. But it so does not stop the New Moon from exuding its sacred cosmic frequency unto mother earth. What I've learned about the New Moon is that is the best time to really set out your intentions. But Khristyne, I thought you set out your intentions everyday though? Why yes, I sure do set my intentions every day. However, on this special day, it is the best time to sow your intentions, goals, wishes and all your deepest desires on a New Moon. This is the time I really dig deep and get mighty thorough into the details of what I want to create into my life. Think about it like this: the New Moon emanates a powerful energetic frequency on to the earth. This frequency has like this FERTILE ENERGY. Let me put it this way: Imagine that you want to have a cherry tree. You are planting the seeds of the cherry tree onto a fertile ass soil that like has this magical touch in its soil which will accelerate the growth of your cherry tree. The cherry seeds = Your Intentions, desires, wishes, goals The fertile ass soil = The New Moon's energy The actual cherry tree = Your manifestation (of your intentions) AKA THE BEST TIME TO SOW YOUR INTENTIONS, DESIRES, WISHES, & GOALS ON A NEW MOON. Here are some ideas that you can incorporate to begin or tweak your New Moon Ritual: 1. Gather your intention essentials This will include: - any writing material like your journal or a piece of paper - any writing tool like a handy dandy pen - any spiritual cleansing tool like sage or palo santo - abundance check (click here to print your own) or you make one yourself or use real checks - incense or candle - crystals And anymore symbolic items that will make your New Moon experience very meaningful to you. 2. Create a sacred space It is totally up to you where you want to set your intentions. I normally do it in a comfortable setting like my room that is totally zenned out. You can do it in any alter of your choice like a room, a balcony, in your backyard, anywhere that you feel most comfortable. Light up an incense to set the mood and apply an essential blend on to your wrists, temples, behind your neck for that added stimulation. Ultimately, you want to be in a clear space of beauty and relaxation. PS: I make these triangle shelves that you see to the right (or to the top if you're on a phone). They make for perfects displays for your crystals and succulents plants. You can cop them here. 3. Cleanse your energy and your space This is where your spiritual tool comes in. I like to sage my whole entire house just to clear out any lower energies and keep the house energetically squeaky clean. Then I bring out my palo santo and use it clear my own energetic field and ignite some wonderful creative juices into my field. Palo santo is also known to raise your vibration. It is important that you energetically de-clutter so that you can have a clear space to free flow your truest desires. 4. Ground yourself The reason for this is because you want to be able to remove the resistance in your mind so that you can smoothly and easily flow your heart's desires onto paper. You are basically tapping into your higher self - inner intelligence - divine wisdom - intuition - source energy - God - Angels whatever divine you resonate with and writing your desires that will be in alignment to your soul purpose. I like to take a few deep breaths and proceed into a mini meditation for about 15 minutes. I make sure I clear out any lingering thoughts that may have been residually hanging out in my mind from the day. There are many other forms of grounding. This one I'm about to mention is a form of visualization. It consists of sitting down and imagining yourself growing roots deep into Mama Earth and bringing in her energy from deep into earth all the way back up through your spine filling your entire being with nurturing love and light. You can also check out Pinterest for other forms of grounding as well if you're not feeling my suggestions. 5. Plant thy seeds Now you can begin the writing process. This will be your space of creation where you will allow yourself to delve into your deepest desires from heart to pen. Oh, and something I have learned through repetitiveness from different platforms is the power of writing. There is something super powerful from writing your thoughts onto paper. There is a strong connection of emotion when you unload your intentions onto paper making it clear to the universe what you want to manifest into your life. Not only do I set my intentions. But I also create abundance checks. Here is a link of the checks I print out. When the moon is dark, dig into the moist earth of your Spirit, full of possibilities. Plant your seeds, plant your intentions. Nurture your life and let it grow The powerful energy of the moon has a special frequency for hearing out your intentions helping you align into the flow of manifestation. It is a super, duper powerful time to allow for all the desires you want to bring into your life. The cool thing about New Moon Ritual's is that it becomes a part of your monthly investment to yourself. And guess what? It is completely free! This monthly investment to yourself will bring much more clarity into your life and lead you into a abundant garden that will soon manifest into your reality. PS: There is no right or wrong way to do a New Moon Ritual. It is whatever feels right to you. PS#2: You have 24 hours from the time of the New Moon to set your intentions during its powerful lunar energy. Here is a lunar schedule I use that I got from Google! Link is below.

Let me start off by telling you that I never ever experienced paranormal activities. I had no knowledge whatsoever that there was a different dimension other than earth. Okay, well I mean I knew about heaven, but I lacked the basic fundamentals of even something as well known as that. I was very unaware and unconscious to anything related to that. Yes, I've watched TV and all them ghost movies, but I just never took note of it. It wasn't until my dad passed away that I began to experience strange things. I personally do not think they're strange, but to other people that's never experienced this, it may be STRANGE. I think it is so freaking cool! I used to be scared shitless until it dawned to me that it's just my dad trying to get my attention. Like... Hey daughter! It's meeee! Lights/Strange Electrical Occurrences I remember one night my entire family was at my house days after my dad passed away. I felt my lowest and could feel my heart sobbing in complete heaviness. I found myself outside sitting on the curb of the pavement. I couldn't help but notice the post light across me flickering sporadically. I remember thinking it was weird and that the city needs to fix that shit lol. Each night I found the post light flickering every time I went outside. My mom, my sister and brother started to take notice, too. Not only was the post light flickering, but my mom's balcony light and the porch light would flicker, too (Note, the lights never flickered like that before). It started to happen so frequently that this coincidence had to mean something. I've transcended the term coincidence from my vocabulary to synchronicity. Moments of meaningful coincidences that begin to take place in series of magical repetitiveness. So I googled away and learned that deceased loves are now pure energy. Which means, they are able to manipulate electrical currents to get our attention. Not too long ago, my sister, niece and I were talking about my dad one night. And my niece's Siri went off. Mind you that her Siri setting was off and her phone was far away from us. So there was no way that we could have done that ourselves. It was my dad dropping by to say hello. KIND OF CREEPY BUT NOT CREEPY, lol. Synchronicity is not just about things happening at the same time -- it's about things happening in a sequence that is magical and different and alerts us to a joining up meaning and physical events. Butterflies PS: I was ballistically terrified of butterflies. I remember when my sister was taking a selfie with her new selfie stick, she captured a picture with 2 butterflies sitting on her hand a few days after by dad was buried. I can say that at that moment was the stirring pot of my journey to spirituality. I googled the meaning behind what butterflies meant and discovered that they were signs from our angels that delivered messages from our deceased loved ones. White butterflies indicate a deceased love one saying hi and that they love you and the other kind of butterflies are your angels letting you know that they are there and that they love you, too. This is by far my most favorite sign I like getting from my dad and angels. They remind me that I'm not ever alone and that they are divinely watching over me. Dreams When we enter dream time, it is like we tap into a different dimension. And since we are not in the physical world during dream time, our deceased loved ones can totally come visit us in the dimensions of our dreams. My dreams of my dad would feel so lucid as if it was happening in real life. You can feel their presence so potently. And that's because you totally are. So when you're having a dream of your deceased loved one, acknowledge and embrace it. These are the moments I cherish with all my heart. It's the closest communication I can get with my dad. One of my most cherished dreams of my dad is when he was dancing and I can see and feel how happy he was! It was so strong. And I remember telling him that he looked so happy. "I'm vibrating at a high frequency!" he replied with a smile. That was the moment I knew loved ones in heaven are genuinely at a peaceful and happy place. And that is also the reason why I make sure I'm vibrating at a high frequency here on earth. Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. Certain Musics I know my dad's coming through to say hello when I hear a song with lyrics that trigger thoughts of my dad. They come in at the right times. I remember I was stored away in the office escaping the fact that my dad just passed away. Pandora... So there is a reason why I stopped right there. Literally right when I started playing the song, Ways from Jhene Aiko to set the mood of this part of the blog... suddenly a loud sound clinked exactly where there is a huge picture of my dad with a candle; at the exact moment I began to play this song. LOL. This is what I'm trying to let you know! Our loved ones never left us. They are always here with us. And they will make their presence known one way or the other. This is pure proof! Lol. What a synchronicity, isn't it? *HEART SMILING SO HEAVILY* Now as for Pandora, Jhene Aiko just dropped her Souled Out album at the time of my dad's passing and her song Ways couldn't come at a better time. At forty-four minutes to four An angel walked up to my door Opened the windows to my soul Told me he thinks that I should know That there's no slowing down As the globe spins 'round and 'round (More Lyrics - here) This whole entire song resonates with me so deeply. I can feel every lyric, every beat, every vibration of this song echo through the depths of my soul. Another song that I resonate with her is Promises. I listen to it as my dad dedicating this song to me along side with a mixture through my perspective. It's a beautiful soul-touching song as well. I would like to add that as I was going to listen to this song this morning, a movie commercial about a dad and his daughter came up. *Synchronicity* My dad is here with me as I write this blog post. :) Feeling their Presence I'm not a psychic. But, it doesn't take a psychic to feel the presence of a passed loved one. There will be times that all of a sudden I start thinking of my dad (the sudden randomness is when they pull through) and whether or not he wants to, he will make his presence known by feeling as if someone is there (but not there-- in the most loving and non-creepy way lol). When I get goosebumps at random parts of my body & it's not even cold and my initial thought is my dad, it's my dad saying hi. I remember one time I was crying and missing my dad while sitting on the edge of the bed, and I felt a vibrational essence giving me a huge hug. I had feelings of comfort and that he is always by my side. Sometime's it will feel like someone is sitting next to you, standing besides you, a pat on the back, giving you a hug, etc. It can be so many things. Just know that it's simply our loved ones letting us know that they are here. You may be gone from my sight... but you are never gone from my heart. So there you have it! These are my 5 beautiful and meaningful signs I receive when my dad passed away. Pay attention to these signs as these are spiritual messages from your loved ones in Heaven trying to communicate with you from the spiritual realm. Often times, to remind us that they are okay and that they love you. We may not see our loved ones physically. But we can totally feel their presence spiritually. And that's just as powerful and potently felt from the heart as it would in real life. ---- Have you ever experienced any of the signs above or experienced anything else from your loved? Comment below and share it with me and the universe. We'd love to learn more signs from loved ones trying to communicate with us.

Your mornings can typically give you the clue of how your rest of the day is going to turn out. Good day or bad day, which one is it going to be? I've probably started my mornings in so many different ways that I can tell you what has worked and what hasn't worked. It just recently dawned to me that mornings are what ususally sets me up for the day. I was so over waking up and going straight to work. I made no time for myself whatsoever. It always led to running out of energy by the time it hit 10 or 11am lol (Wow, Khristyne). So mornings are the time that I dedicated for myself---me time. It gives me time to get situated for the day in the most energetic wave. Each elevated day meant fulfilling days that lead me steps closer to reaching my dreams and living in abundance. I'm going to share to you 10 morning rituals that I perform every day so that I can have an elevated day that leads me to having a transformational life. 1. Eat Breakfast It sounds so simple. Yet, it can be the hardest to achieve in the mornings. I used to neglect breakfast 98.5% of the time for years. I was basically skipping breakfast as a lifestyle. SMH* I couldn't function at my fullest potential. It wasn't until I had enough of this devitalized way of living that I became conscious of my energy. I realized I always had a productive day when I ate breakfast. And duhh, it all became clear to me. Food gives you energy to do things like read a book or walk downstairs. So it only makes sense to fuel your body to give you the energy to do what you gotta do for the day. It's like a car. You can't last running on E. Otherwise, you get stuck on the road. And we must overcome the bumps in the road in order to get to where we want to be at. YOU FEELS ME?! Advice: Down yourself 2-3 cups of water with lemon once you wake up. It wakes up your organs after hours of sleeping and not eating. Plus, it jump starts your energy, metabolism and helps aid in weightloss. I implemeted drinking my water with lemon and because of this small shift I added in my every day life, I lost a lot of weight. Ayeee! 2. Set Intentions This is a super, duper powerful way to create your reality. We do it without even noticing we're doing it. When we go to a restaurant, we are setting the intentions to go eat. When we lay down in bed, we are intending to go to sleep. However, how often do we get clear in what we want happening in our lives besides completing errands or going to work? Intentions help you bring clarity into what you want manifesting into your life. I like to write out my intentions in my journal (I verbally say them out during meditation or before I leave the house when I'm unable to write them out). Not only do I write out my action list for the day, but I also set my intentions in what I want manifesting into my life. Setting intentions are all about planting the seeds of your desires, allow the universe to orchestrate your truest desires and in divine timing, your intentions will come in fruition. As the words from the classic Vedic declares, “You are what your deepest desire is. As your desire is, so is your intention. As your intention is, so is your will. As your will is, so is your deed. As your deed is, so is your destiny.” 3. Clearing your energy & your space I discovered what clearing your energy was when I took my level 1 reiki practitioner class. They emphasized how important it is to keep your energy and your space clean just as it is important to brush your teeth and take a shower every day. Everything in life is energy. People are energy. Trees are energy. Your toothbrush is energy. Whether we are driving down the freeway, grocery shopping, at school or at work, we are surrounded by energy. Therefore, it is so easy for other people's energy to latch on to our energies. And I ain't trynna accumulate residual energy that can be contaminated with bad vibes and other lower energies. LOL. No offense. So I clear my energy in the morning (because I believe that I have a long ass adventure with other spirits in my dreams so I feel like I must cleanse my spirit lol) and right before I head to bed. Here are 2 ways that I clear my energy and my space: White Sage It is a sacred plant used to purify, cleanse any stagnant, bad or lower energies. I love the way it stimulates my senses and gives me an instant uplift. I use it to cleanse my aura and any energies that so happen to attach to me as I go about my day. There's so much cool things about white sage (link to buy sage is here) which I will leave for another blog post. Palo Santo It is a piece of wood that comes from a sacred tree. This is another plant that stimulates my senses and triggers a profound sense of clearing and inspiration. I usually use palo santo (link to buy palo santo here) to hotbox the inside of my car just because it look like I'm lighting up a blunt when I'm clearing my car lol. This is probably my favorite method of clearing. Again, I will get more into detail in another blog post. 4. Angel Card Reading [Optional] It's one of my favorite things to do. It only takes about 2 minutes to do. I connect with source energy (I visualize white, bright light filling my entire being connected with the universe) and draw a card that I'm gravitated too. It gives me loving and gentle guidance for the day from my loving angel guides. It brightens my day and my soul. And I'm all about doing things good for the soul, so why not heighten my vitality? PS: I can do an angel card reading for you for just $5. It's something I passionately love to do for people. Here's the link. 5. Meditate Sometimes we just gotta silence our mind! Our minds can be running at full speed and with so much noise that it can really pollute our awareness of what is NOW. We forget how important it is to just be present because our minds ( due to the media and other influences) have been conditioned to think in an egotistic matter. (Book Recommendation: The Power of Now). We feed our ego so much that we forget to feed our souls. Meditate It really gives us a time to unplug from our thoughts and go deep within. To tell you the truth, it took me a minute to finally get the hang of meditation just because my mind was programmed to run thoughts 25/8. There's so many ways to go about meditating and really pausing the mind away from chatter. Here is a few: - Guided meditation - Hypnosis meditation (super cool btw, I'll probably get into that in another blog) - Meditating with certain binaural beats (I'll probably get into that in another blog too) - Meditating with certain healing crystals - Kundalini yoga (This one has actually helped me tremendously), - Gardening, taking a walk, etc To be honest there's so no wrong way of meditating just as long as you've reached the point of your thoughts being on mute. I've read so many books and articles about successful people and what they implemented as a major part of their lifestyles, and they all result with one common denominator: Meditating. Always tied back to meditating. "The answers you seek never come when the mind is busy, they come when the mind is still." 6. Mantras & Affirmations The universe responds to what you put out into the universe. Whether they're questions, your intentions, emotions, your vibration/frequency/energy, anything. What you signal out to the universe, responds back to you. You can't say, "I'm broke af" repetitively and almost so natural that it is imbedded into your daily habits. Otherwise, the universe is gonna be like, " Okay, insert name here, let me bring you more things associated to broke into your life. It is so important to make sure you are affirming what you want manifesting in your life. TIP: Be conscious of what kind of words you are putting out into the universe You don't want to accidentally manifest something you don't want because you are subconsciously saying negative things about yourself or about others. You are a reflection of your choice of words. Affirmations I just began doing this not too long ago. There is so many awesome benefits from practicing affirmations like manifestation and keeping the positivity flowing in your life, etc etc. I'm currently reading the book The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity by Catherine Ponder and it includes true stories of people using affirmations to shift and attract prosperity into their lives. I've always heard about affirmations before and would use it here and there, but because of this book, I've incorporated it in my daily life. Mantras Mantras are a powerful and spiritual tool that aids in reprograming a negative subconscious. There is a modern and ancient way of incorporating mantras in your life. The one I'm currently doing that I researched about is in Sanskrit. It is an ancient language from India.The power of mantra includes a word or series of words that are chanted repetitively 108 times. Each word evokes a powerful, sacred and vibrational frequency that energetically digs deep into your soul and subconscious, shifting negative thoughts into a positive and abundant way of life. These sacred vibrational sounds can work on specific things you'd like to transform or bring into your life like protection, loving yourself, abundance & prosperity, peace within and more. I totally encourage you to research more about this sacred art or you can wait for my blog post about it after I complete my 40-day mantra transformation. :) 7. Read a Book Keep that knowledge flowing baby! Our minds are limitless. The kinds of books I like to indulge in are books that inspire me and help me improve my well-being. I'm always open to new ways of applying what can potentially be very good for my soul. Why watch TMZ gossip and get my energy sucked into these lower energies, that have nothing to do with my life, when I can read books that uplift my spirits and keep my energy flowing in beautiful waves of prosperity? 8. Inspiration Space + Journaling Inspiration is the energy that helps you live your life as passionately as possible. It's the gateway to living as closely to your life purpose. It is creating what you were born to create. It is the energy that paves the way to your life's path. The reason why I create a time for inspiration is so that I can do more of what makes my life fulfilling and meaningful. Inspiration is a high vibrational frequency and helps keep me motivated and in the flow of reaching my dreams or feeding my soul. Though there are many things that inspire me, here are 2 easy ways I get my inspo flowing in the mornings: Articles/Blogs I like to read articles and blogs that are correlated to my goals in life. For example, if there is a blog about marketing strategies that has upped a business, I will read it because I would love to have some tips on how to increase sales in my businesses. Or, if there is a blog post about 5 simple ways to increase my vibration, YES, I will give my attention to this blog because I am all about self-development. If it is about a successful ass person's story on how they became a millionaire, yes, most definitely I'll see my eyes to it. I love to enhance my inspiration energy to my energetic field. If it is beneficial to me, I will put my attention to it. Whatever knowledge that will inspire me to take action is worthy of my attention. Youtube And I'm not talking about cats taking a shit in the toilet ( Although that is rather impressive lol ). I'm talking about watching videos of other individuals that you look up to. Individuals, people, seminars, whatever it is out there that is similar to your goals and who you aspire to be. You know... The channels that inspire you to become a better version of you whether it comes from their tips, suggestions, ideas, or even their energy. What is it that you want to be in life? it is that, that can help keep your inspiration tank flowing! Since you'll be in an inspirational state after getting your inspo fix, I like to... Journal I like to free flow aka journal outdoors. Just because I like to be amongst nature --- smelling the trees, listening to birds sing, and watch butterflies magically appear and surround me in all its glory. It's something about nature that harnesses my inspo tank and enhances its flow. When you get to connect with mother earth and soak up its beauty, your soul is screaming thank you for letting me breathe! And once I allow myself to just be, I activate my inspiration tank and let my ideas ensue. This is where I have my Idea's Journal with me and write down anything and everything that happens to flow through me. This is what you call being receptive to your higher self. Collect your ideas. And hopefully, make your ideas come into life! 9. Space for gratitude Gratitude is the secret to having a happy life. I always make the effort to create a space of gratitude. I'm not sure how I came about it but ever since my dad passed away, I would pray to God at night and express my gratitude for all that was in my life. Yes, I may have lost him, my mentor, my role model, my hero of a dad, but I still sought the beauty from my pain. And I found that being grateful really helped my get through my struggles. Gratitude enables me to be fully conscious of what I presently have in my life. And here is another cool thing: Gratitude generates a space for more abundant thangs to enter your lovely life. Tip: when you're feeling down, BE GRATEFUL. State 5 things you are grateful for. And I mean...truly get into the energy of what you are grateful for; really feel it from the heart. You will feel a lot better. "Gratitude will shift you to a higher frequency, and you will attract much better things." 10. Exercise What can you do to get your body active? I've learned that when you exercise, you increase your serotonin and dopamine levels aka your happy hormones. These are the hormones that enhance your mood and pave the way of having a exuberant day. Happy mood? Don't mind if I do. If you don't already know, I like to partake in whatever is great for my well-being. You can take a walk at the park, hit the gym, morning sex, do some kundalini yoga, whatever it is to get your heart pumping. Makes all the difference in your mood.

You're probably wondering what in the world is a cenote. I had no idea what they were either. I've heard so many other travelers talking about it. And I am so grateful for being so curious as to what they were and finding out where they were. They're these really cool underwater sinkholes that are created from collapsed blankets of limestone that has these underground rivers and streams. It is so freaking cool how these cenotes maintain its cleanliness and natural beauty. The limestones serve as filtration for the water which keeps it clean and refreshing. The beauty of these cenotes are out of this world. The kind where you can feel this bliss radiating throughout your entire soul. Each cenote I swam in, I envisioned myself being healed in natures beauty; healing, filling and nourishing my spirit. Cristal Cenote We spontaneously went on a bike tour with a group of other travelers that stayed at our hostel (Hostel Che). Shannon, our tour guide had set up a cenote & beach day to show us a glimpse of beauty that Tulum had to offer. We literally woke up and found out about the tour and was like f*ck yea let's go! It took about 15-20 minutes bike riding to this cenote from our hostel. We paid 60 pesos to see both the Cristal and Escodido cenote. We got a special discount because of Shannon. It normally costs 120 pesos to see both cenotes. You have to walk through a pathway of jungle to get to this earth made gem. I loved how quiet it was and the blankets of greenery that we were surrounded in. It's not all that popular like the Ik Kil Cenote. However, you'll love the sense of silence and the beauty of Tulum's very own nature jungle on full blast. The water has a clear, greenish blue color. It felt so crisp and fresh. There was a storm a week before so there was some pieces of algae floating here and there; no big deal. It was still so beautiful. There's also a little wooden upstairs staircase that led into a wooden platform made to go dive in or jump off from, which was about 8-10 feet. Escondido Cenote After hanging out at the Cristal Cenote, we literally crossed the street to Escondido Cenote. This is where we ran into a tarantula in its most natural habitat, lol. We rode our bikes through another pathway amongst the jungle and parked our bikes steps away from the cenote. Another breathtaking view of God's gift of nature and another quiet cenote with hardly any people. This cenote was cool because it had two ropes tied onto two different trees to swing off into the aqua teal cenote. There were more fishes in there than the Cristal cenote. There's also a little wooden downstairs staircase to walk into the cenote if you're afraid to swing off the ropes. You should totally swing off the ropes, you'll feel like a liberated monkey soul, just swinging away! The height is probably about 8 feet high or so. Shannon told us that there's a mini cave that divers go through to get into some kind of hidden beauty. I personally was too terrified to try it though. Escondido was my favorite cenote out of the two cenotes of our bike tour. Ik Kil Cenote This is one of the most popular cenotes to visit in Mexico. It's located more inland of Mexico (2 hours ish ). We took a bus tour to visit Chichen Itza and just about 10-15 minutes was Ik Kil Cenote. You go through a mini marketplace which then leads you to the cenote and then there's a shower and locker facility right behind the cenote. Lockers are very inexpensive. You must shower your body before dipping into this sacred cenote, which is very understandable and respectable as the Mayan's used the cenote for ritual purposes and protecting nature from any chemicals from lotions and such. Now this was yet another incredible cenote. Beautiful vines dangling in the middle of the cenote and mini waterfalls surrounding the sinkhole just adding just so much eye candy. When you are inside the cenote, you look up and there's a sky view. It's an underground cenote so you have to walk down a carved staircase. They say that a dip into this cenote brings tons of healing and makes you look younger, lol. The thing about this cenote was that it was saturated with tourists. FILLED UP to the brim up lol. Like I said, it's a tourist attraction, but well worth the visit. I didn't look inside the water, but they said there's catfishes that swim inside the cenote. Grand Cenote MUST VISIT* It costs 150 pesos to get in. It's a little pricey but well worth it. I would say it's about 10 minutes by moped to get there from the pueblo of Tulum. I recommend visiting this cenote super early in the morning. This is another popular cenote that usually gets swarmed up with loads of people. We came here right when it opened. You have to walk down a stair case to get to the cenote. It's one of my favorite cenotes I've experienced so far! There's tons of pretty lily pads that contrast beautifully with the blueish-teal-aqua colored water. We saw a turtle swimming away! There's also tons of pretty fishes inside too. They have snorkel gear that you can rent for about 80 pesos. There are caves in there that you can go dive in and explore. Once again, I did not attempt to dive at all. Plus, we were on crunch mode with time this day. Our bus to back to the airport was like 1 hour away lol. A+dventures that last a lifetime. I still haven't seen all the cenotes I wanted to, so when I come back, I will be visiting Dos Ojos & Za-cil Ha cenote.

Happy belated National Taco Day! I literally found out it was National Taco Day on National Taco day lol. It was perfect timing because I was already craving tacos.

Add a blop of your cooked refried beans on the side If you're wondering what that taco is on the far right side, it's a potato taco. Wanna know how to make my potato tacos? Perhaps I'll make a blog about it in the future! I hope you like the lit ass cauliflower tacos! My bf and I were inspired to make some after eating at a vegan spot in Arizona. We were doing the 7-day vegan challenge at the time and holy moly macaroni! (I don't even say that in real life. I was just trying not to say holy sh*t lol!) Those tacos were on point! I'm definitely not a vegan. But I do hope that I will soon transition into a vegan. For now, I am a part-time vegetarian! Lol. That means that I only eat meat once a week lol! I don't eat red meat anymore though. Only fried chicken and shrimp. It's so hard being a vegan! Especially because I love cheese so much. It's hard to unlove it, you know? And not to mention, so many foods contain egg, milk and cheese, it's hard to not eat it. But you know what, cheers to my future veganism! I will be vegan, one day!

(Photo by: ND__) Hey world. My name's Khristyne. I like to call myself your modern, hippy, soul-preneur. I've always wanted to have my own blog for so long and here I am. Finally manifesting my desires. It took me so long to figure out a blog name that just spoke to me. Guess how I got validation that HerIntentions was going to be a winner. I was driving and daydreaming (PS: don't drive & daydream,) throwing words across my brain trying to figure out the best name to call my blog. And what I like to call, an inspired thought came into fruition, and BOOM I verbally screamed, HER INTENTIONS and soon saw a butterfly just magically flutter across the trees. Not only did I receive my sign from the universe, but I felt this beautiful energy sweeping my aura. THANK YOU BASED GOD. I created this internet diary to document my travels/a+dventures, fuego foods, spiritual experiences, thoughts/intentions, fashion & beauty, and my all out journey as a spiritual being in a Khristyne body. I'm into crystals and healing, angel card readings, deep conversations about the universe, embracing nature, touching leaves, lit ass vibes, my bittersweet love with hot cheetos, learning to become highly intuitive and clairvoyant, blowing up blockages & patterns with purple light tornados, spreading love and light every place I go, touching people's hearts, secretly blessing people, places, and things, telepathically talking to people's souls lol, reprograming my subconscious, transforming my ideas into reality, receiving angelic signs, synchronicity, and basically being in flow and fluidity with my life purpose, whatever that is. Take it back a few years, I was never the spiritual person I am today. I used to let the beautiful synchronistic parts of my life pass me by with no f*cks & obliviousness in the world. It all started when my dad passed away in the summer of 2014. It really took a toll in my life. It was dark af like I was stuck in this tiny tunnel all by myself. I alienated myself from my social life and navigated my whole sanity by being super busy af with school and building Gold Soul. Prior to my dad's passing, I was partying and drinking a few times times a week, hung out with friends more than family, investing my energy into other's rather than taking care of myself, cared about what people thought of me but acted like I didn't give a f*ck when I really did lol, getting so f*cked up and wandering off in Vegas and ending up in the hospital with no phone or wallet lol, hitting guys in the face when they disrespected me, and doing all kinds of non-prioritized, naive, boobooness ... that I now acknowledge and accept with love. If I didn't go through what I did, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Through pain, came strength. And the guidance to a whole new perspective in life.
