7 Tips for Deepening Your Meditation Practice
7 Tips for Deepening Your Meditation Practice

Meditation is a challenging practice. With the fast pace of our modern society where instant gratification is valued, trends change by the day, and being stressed and overworked is worn as a badge of honor, it can be quite a challenge to simply sit still.

Most of us know or have heard of how beneficial meditation can be for our mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. But simply knowing the benefits of a practice doesn't mean that it's easy to make it into a habit.

Why I Value Creativity in Business and Life
Why I Value Creativity in Business and Life

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been creative. As a child, I lived for arts and crafts time. I loved to color. I loved to imagine. I loved to play make-believe.

Art was my entry into connecting with and channeling creativity, but the more consistently I create, the more I see it as SO much more than art. Creativity is an action, a way of thinking, a way of being. It is a catalyst for change. It is a life force and life affirming act. It makes us feel good. It makes us feel connected.

How to Use Breathwork for Creativity and Intuition
How to Use Breathwork for Creativity and Intuition

I want to share with you how breath helps our creativity and increases connection with our intuition. Ultimately, breathwork is so effective because of the connect between our minds and bodies. This connection - known as the Mind-Body Connection - is the idea that we can access and regulate our emotions through the mind and the body, and what we experience in the mind manifests in the body. The mind is what we consciously know, and the body represents our subconscious.

January Reflections: HOLDING SPACE FOR CHANGE
January Reflections: HOLDING SPACE FOR CHANGE

I just love the new year! It always gives me such energy and renewed hope. Do you get excited too?

This time of year is special to me because it sparks and supports so much of my healing and growing. A new opportunity has been given to us to begin again, to dream of something new, to plan for it (loosely!) and start the inspired actions to make that dream into a reality.

Why Shopping Small, Minority and Women-owned Businesses Matters
Why Shopping Small, Minority and Women-owned Businesses Matters

It’s so important to prioritize shopping from small businesses, especially when it comes to handmade products or art. When you invest in independent artists and small businesses, you’re ultimately investing in someone’s dreams. It is so much more meaningful than buying mass-produced products from large corporations. It’s also a great way to support your local economy and increase minority communities’ wealth.

Why It’s Important to Ask for Help
Why It’s Important to Ask for Help

I’ve always been resistant to asking for help, but last year forced me to do it again and again. I was growing and pursuing full-time self-employment, and I was healing and working on my mental health, but these experiences led me into a space of needing more support, which at first was a huge obstacle because it triggered past wounds and shadows. In the end, it became an incredibly transformative learning and growing experience.

The Benefits of Vulnerability: Human Connection
The Benefits of Vulnerability: Human Connection

Being vulnerable with yourself first and foremost is incredibly important as it allows you to understand more deeply your experiences and emotions. Once you start practicing vulnerability with yourself you may find that you have the confidence to start sharing more with other people - not anyone and everyone in your life, but the right person. The person who will support you and listen to you and hold space for you.

It's a Crying Shame: The Importance of Embracing Our Emotions
It's a Crying Shame: The Importance of Embracing Our Emotions

Ever since the beginning of the pandemic, I’ve been brought to tears almost daily, which has been a real adjustment for me. At first, it was concerning - I shouldn’t be crying this much. It’s not normal. Then it was annoying - Jeez, I’m crying again?! I don’t have time for this. But as 2020 progressed into 2021, I learned to accept it. Perhaps it’s not “normal,” but it makes sense. This past year and a half has brought a lot to the surface for all of us.

My Process of Conscious Transformation
My Process of Conscious Transformation

I talk a lot about the importance of the process - in art, in mental health, in everything. You have to trust the process and let it lead you in your journey of consciously transforming. I believe there is power in sharing our stories and who we are with one another, so here’s mine:

Hi, I’m Liz. I’m an artist and designer living, looking, and making in sunny Los Angeles, CA. My mission is to help the world become more whole, healed, and well, and this mission started with me.
