Self Love is a phrase we've been hearing a lot lately, but what does it actually mean?
How do you know if you love yourself?  Are there different levels or awakenings to self love?

The first 3 videos in this series detail my journey coming in to self love after a lifetime of programmed self hate and finding out what it really means by experiencing what it definitely is not.  I thought about transcribing these videos for the blog, but I'm afraid it won't be possible due to my rambling nature, so you will just have to listen to the videos.  :)

Could society be promoting a narcissistic view of what self love looks like?  What about the selfie mania craze?  Self Hate?  Dependence?  Overindulgence?  Sloth?  Greed?  Envy?  Artificial Emotions?  Artificial Dis-ease???

I address all these questions and more in the following playlist...

Would someone who loves them self stay in a dead end relationship?
Would we keep jobs that assault our soul?
Would we tolerate abuse from others or abuse ourselves?

Do we treat ourselves as well as we treat our car?

It's really simple when you think about it.  We always go the extra mile to put the right fluids in our vehicles...brake fluid, oil, tranny fluid, power steering, wiper fluid, bearing good, etc...but are you putting the proper fuels in YOUR sacred vehicle???

This is just one of the many signs of self love.

I address some of the follies in my own journey as well as our addiction to pain and blame vs responsibility.

I share my story in hopes that others will find that they can also make it too.  There was a time I thought I couldn't make it.  Then I did.  And so will you!

Part 1 - My Self Love Journey

Part 2 - Addiction to Pain

Part 3 - Blame VS Responsibility

Thank you for choosing to spend your time here with me and hearing me share my journey.  I hope this helps you on your journey to REAL FREEDOM AND LOVE!

Wow, has it been a Journey.  I left for my 30 day Soul Journey trip December 2013....and here we are in April 2017.  I've finally landed in a safe place I can call home and am looking forward to revamping the site and getting back in to my medicine making and coaching. 
After a brain infection, losing my memory and ability to walk and talk, my health, my dog, my work, websites, my everything you can imagine, and learning to regain my physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health while gaining survival skills homeless with no income living in my van across the country, a storage unit and a tent in the freezing winter in the mountains of washington that only one who experiences it can understand, I feel I am now in a much better place to help people more effectively.  Obviously my views have changed somewhat in a lot of areas due to my experiences, so I am grateful and looking forward to sharing what I've learned with you! :)

I also intend to expand my services and in some cases work on a sliding scale to help people who went through things like me who are now being forced to "downsize."
I have learned I can't give everything away, so I will need to feed myself first this time around.  :)
Or at least try to...lol
I'm getting better!

I also want to let you know I started a video series called Coffee with Christie on youtube where I answer your questions about whatever topic you desire that I have experience in...
Here is the current playlist after starting this up last week:

Coffee with Christie

I am really looking forward to this new chapter and sooo thankful I finally am back to health and able to get out there and help more people! :)
I will also be working on a new website as time permits...and if there is anyone who has more time and is better at it than me (which is basically everyone) I would gladly compensate you in some way for your help! :)

I want to thank you all for your patience during this transformation.

Blessings and Love to you ALL.

Please forgive my delay in sharing with you the good news...
I'm sure you can imagine that moving 10 times just since I've been in the state of Washington can take a toll on a human (less then 2 years), so now that I finally have a place to call home, it's taken me a few days to take it all in.  

The photos above are of my bedroom, front yard and back yard.  Yes, I live in heaven!  I finally found the place of my dreams that guided me on this really long journey!
Wow, so it was December 2013 where I was taking a 30 day "Soul Journey" to get some rest and healing and find my new direction...
I thought everything was going wrong because it was in this time where literally everything was taken away, including my health, ability to speak, remember, walk and the ability to do anything that I had done before...
If you were here in the process you know I lost all my websites, but thankfully this one was backed up on weebly, even though I hadn't been able to update it.

The good news is, I MADE IT!

My oh my, what a journey...so much to share, which I have been doing on my youtube channel if you'd like to check out here: https://www.youtube.com/ChristieAphrodite

Here are a couple short videos sharing when I first got here...the first one was proof that this was where I was meant to be!!!
As you can imagine, being tossed around for so long, I was a bit nervous upon this first meeting, but Robin let me know I was safe!!! :)

According to this site: http://www.spirit-animals.com/robin/

"If Robin has flown into your life;
Robin signifies stimulation of new growth and renewal in many areas of life. He teaches that any changes can be made with joy, laughter and a song in your heart. This bird shows you how to ride the winds of passion within your heart and become independent and self reliant through this change. The energy of this bird will teach you how to move forward with grace, tenacity, perseverance and assertion. Are you letting go of personal dramas? Ones that no longer serve your higher purpose? Are you exercising compassion and patience in mental, spiritual and emotional areas? This creature will teach how to incorporate new beginnings with faith and trust in the process. It is time to believe in yourself and use the inspiration that is given. Listen carefully. It is time sing your own song for a new period in your life."

and I believe it...

So within a few days, I was here:

So...I just wanted you all to know the good news, if you even still come to this website anymore!  haha

I am planning on revamping the site and reopening my services...with a few extras so I do hope you come back and see what I have planned now that I have a safe place to rest my head and get back to work!!!  :)

Blessings and Love to you ALL and THANK YOU for being here for me on my Journey!

The key to meditation is within... In living a purposeful life.
No need for gurus... only love in all you do...
Here's a few silly examples from another perspective...

Recently my sd card failed in my phone and I lost 64gb of videos, photos and such I was planning on sharing...after I got over the initial shock, I remembered I had a bag tucked away somewhere with sd cards from my old cameras....
Well, as many of you may know, my mind was pretty much erased with my brain infection, so the following video I'm going to share with you was a really nice surprise.  Not only did I not remember recording the video, I didn't even remember the incident!!!
So I watched....I remembered....all the lessons I had learned...and lived...and relived....
This experience was literally 3 days before I was in the everglades getting bit head to toe which was the beginning of the unexplained rashes, strokes and a plethora of other disabling conditions that ensued, including losing my ability to talk and walk!!!

When I first saw the video, I Was embarrassed....as if it should remain secret.  Then spirit told me to upload it. 
After all, if I want authenticity from everyone else, I should be prepared to also show the good, the bad and the ugly. 
I am not ashamed of who I AM.  And I am grateful and humbled I have been Blessed to walk this path and share it with you...
in hopes that it can help another reclaim their power...

this is the only way to freedom and peace!  Healing is within...not without.
Only we can do it for ourselves, not a guru, priest, teacher or politician...
We hold the keys to our own healing...

This was 3 years ago, a couple months after my 30 day Soul Journey I still have yet to return from...

Right when I was literally erased online....all my real work, websites, videos, recipes, photos, shows.....a full decade....ERASED.....POOF...GONE.....then replaced with malicious slander and false reports that scared every single person I encountered away from me....

Oh yes, I lived everything I talked about her....I had no idea I was walking straight in to my death.

#phrodiedhere

I hope you were able to resonate with this in some way.
While I realize that not everyone has lived the life of a single disable targeted woman...yet the lessons remain.
And if I can prevent one person from making the mistakes I had to make...it is all worth it.

Thank you for listening!

Blessings and Love,
Christie Aphrodite
