Your Weekly Mantra: I Thrive From What Nourishes & Delights Me! www.tatianascavnicky.com

Seth  Doyle

Today fully wrapped up in my to-do list I found myself here, at your weekly mantra. Just before I started I turned my unicorn lamp on and made myself a cup of my favorite coffee. Bob Marley sings to me "I Wanna Love Ya". 

It's so easy to get whacked out with our lists and tasks. Yes we have people and things to attend to. But where are you on your list? Maybe right now you are so busy wrapping up your book for publishing, beloveds climbing at your feet and pulling on your clothes, or working on an important work project. Or coming home from a long day and all you want to do is veg out unconsciously.


Fill in your current state of affairs. 

Life...


Is luxuriousness a possibility in your everyday? Or play? Perhaps music could bring extra clearing energy to you and the housework or paperwork you simply must do. Light candles **safely** and put on some soothing music in the mornings or evenings. Ask your Higher Power to bring more joy and contentment to your everyday experience. Believe that Spirit is always looking to get your attention. Allowing your vibe to get high and expand attracts more support and unexpected gifts and miracles as well as the divinely radiant afterglow. 

When you can't get to the spa, or out to hang with your girls and your list presses on you, cast joy and magic on it. Studies confirm that pleasure and delight strengthen our immune systems releasing healing feel-good chemicals into our blood. Resentment over time has the potential to be poisonous.

Pleasure isn't staying up night after night or doing way too much of what you like. It's nourishing yourself. Pleasure is fully and consciously delighting in the bites you take of that dark chocolate. In fact in her book "Ageless Goddess", Christiane Northrup says studies show habits that aren't that good for us if performed and experienced in the sheer delight of rapture can actually be healing. 

It's feeling your way deliciously through a yoga session. It's an impromptu dance party with your kids with a secret intention to tire them out, loving it. Time alone with your honey is underrated. It's a full-on energy clearing meditation ending in deep fulfilling relaxation. It's saying the words themselves and letting them envelope you and fill your cells with heavenly feel-good light. Rapture. Delight. Luscious. Delicious. Ecstasy. Satisfaction. Love. 


It is also crossing those things off your list that you committed to doing. That can feel so good. That goodness and pride makes more good stuff and juice to keep you moving forward, but make regular deposits of coinage to your pleasure principle bank. The more treasure amassed the stronger and healthier your immune system will become. Constant stress and overwhelm can suck the juice out of your life and your joints. 

Really tragic things will happen in a course of a human's life so get off at the next stop and exit the crazy train. 

Be true to your desires. A road trip or spontaneous trip. Nourish yourself with an afternoon spent languishing lazily reading and nibbling on your favorite treats, a nap or ten glorious minutes of nothing. Pleasure calms your nervous system. Don't let the world out there convince you that rushing and pushing constantly is a standard of living to choose for yourself. We flourish and thrive in environments of balance, fun, rest and accomplishment. Take it slow and purposeful. Intentional and steady. Strategic with stealth.


These mantras are like personal notes to you. I am grateful and happy that you are here with me. If I can bring you an elevated experience....maybe even enchanted and a different way of looking at things I've fulfilled my intention. 

I would love to know what topics light you up and what you'd like to get more of to wet your spiritual appetite. Feel free to talk to me always in the comments below or chat me up here.

Stay tuned for October's Aries Full Moon Oracle Card Reading.

You don't want to miss my upcoming Live Event this Saturday! Details here


Have a lusciously delicious & divine week!

Single, Heartbroken Or On-A-Break? How To Be LOVE'S Child On Valentine's Day www.tatianascavnicky.com

Source

It is my mission to turn the high beam of sweet love your way. No matter where you are, in or out of relationship, the weekend demands bodacious and thrilling Love Day treats, take-aways, and super Self-Lovedom. It might even require a tantrum...a magic love-releasing of sorts. Whatever you need, this is your chance to give it to yourself like it should be given. 


The Do's
#1 Make a date for the weekend
This year Sunday is Love Day. Reserve the whole weekend if you can. Go out with the girls or the guys. Get out. Go dancing and live it up. Set the intention to have the best time ever and you will. 

Execute "Operation Loveness". A home-sweet-home date might just be the best, and exactly what you need right now. Invite a friend or two of your special besties and slumber party it. If you like to slumber long and alone in your bed, invite them for a cozy dinner, drinks and a movie. Give them a coffee and send them home warmly into the night.

A few perfect "Love Day" films. 
-Wild
-Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
-Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants
-Fried Green Tomatoes
-Thelma & Louise

Spending the night alone could be your definition of blissed out. Go all-out for you. Order out and have it delivered. Spread furry blankets and (safely) light candles. Have a pitcher of water, wine or margaritas etc. at arms reach but do not drive. Get really good chocolate, or have a cake made for you with exactly what you want it to say on top. Watch a good girl movie or a season of your favorite show. 

Have a long conversation with a friend over skype and share a cocktail, coffee or glass of wine together. Reminisce about all the great times you have had together. Express the deep love you will always have for your dearest friends, no matter what is going on in life. They are definitely lifetime gems to be grateful for. Your besties are forever.



#2 Adorn Yourself 
Going out for the night? Dress up! Dress hot! Do your make-up and wear those special shoes. Look in the mirror before you go and tell yourself you are fabulous, because you are. Wear your favorite crystals, jewelry and live it up. Consider calling a cab, limo or having a designated driver for the night.

If you decide to be the goddess-queen of your lair, wear some sensual, beautiful clothing that sings sexy-lounging. Do not throw on your usual sack-out sweats. Pick something beautiful that feels good against your skin, and makes you feel beautiful inside and out. Wear lipstick, some brand new silky soft pants or a pretty comfortable loose sweater. Which brings me too...Gifts.


#3 Give Yourself Gifts
This is the weekend to:
-Get your nails done alone or with friends
-Book a spa day alone or with your Besties
-Take a trip to visit a friend
-Buy yourself an "extravagant" gift 
-Of course have flowers delivered to Ms. Loveness
-Buy a new outfit to wear for going out and dancing
-Buy a new robe or lounge wear that screams how deserving you are of this queenly treatment
-Wear lipstick


The Don'ts
 #1 Do not go out to a couples kind of restaurant by yourself, and look at couples who seem to be having the best time together. Perhaps if you could really see the truth of the relationship, their issues and all the fights they've been in, you would choose to be single. 

#2 Do not meet your friends and have too many drinks, drive home and/or make yourself sick. This is your time to rule, not hurl. 

#3 Do not look at pictures of your ex, the two of you together, or look them up on Facebook. In fact seriously consider burning most of those old photos if not all of them. Have a Love-Burning (safely please) in honor of your new Ms. Loveness status. 

#4 Do not time travel to the dimension of the past or allow yourself to ache over what most likely was not the relationship you were supposed to be in. 




I have a feeling sister, that this just might be one of the very best Valentine's celebrations you have ever had. Being good to yourself, visiting and cherishing friends and special people in your life that you do love, adds more power to your love beam, making you super-irresistible. Partners that let you down and just didn't work because they couldn't commit (wouldn't commit) or put their work first, or expected you to be superwoman so they could keep playing outside, or the ones that betrayed you simply cannot exist in this kind of love realm. If you keep treating yourself like this, you will be able to spot them from a mile away. Loving yourself first changes everything.

I have a special gift for you my dear. Head on over here to get my Lakshmi Bountiful Blessings CD. You will feel amazing after you listen to it! 

Have the best Love Day ever! Let me know how it goes.

XoTatiana
ps. Pass this along to your girlfriends who may need love and support this weekend.

Your Weekly Mantra: I Give Myself The Gift Of Freedom www.tatianascavnicky.com

Contemplating the end of another year can bring up all kinds of emotions and pressure. Maybe if we could conjure up a really good year we might just get it right. I got two huge full color advertisements from gyms in my area offering memberships. The beginning of the year is not a good time to make a long list of all the things you think you "should" be doing. If you do want to create a vision for the future, gift yourself the freedom to choose what would really impact you at a soul level. Something that would really make a difference for you that you value deeply. Pick 5-10, then narrow it down to your top three. If that is tough, think of how you would guide your sister or best friend to choose.

A person very dear to me said his plan for the year was to simply stay focused and in the zone, cause the last three were crazy. I've talked to so many people who have gone through some of the worst times in the last 3 years. I'm coming out and sharing that I was hit with debilitating anxiety on stage starting last year at this time. Singing and performing on stage has always been the place where I felt the most at home and secure. This sacred safe zone all but disappeared this past year...blowing my mind and center of gravity. I plan to say more about this in the future and share more deeply how I am getting my stage legs back.  

My point is this. Choose something for the coming year that gives you the feeling of freedom in your soul. Go to the gym or start working out (if your doctor says its ok) because you really want to feel good inside, because you want to feel light and free and be around for your loved ones for a long time. Don't do it because you think if you were thinner, then your life would be wonderful and perfect and so would you. You are already perfect and I bet your life is pretty wonderful already. Choose a healthier body to feel even more amazing and get yourself some new clothes, underwear, boots or accessories that make you feel gorgeous now. Don't wait to recognize how beautiful you are or treat yourself! 

I like the idea of picking a mantra for the year. You give a mantra more power the more you say it. 100 repetitions of "I focus on the good stuff" is going to bring you good stuff! Here are a few to try on for size. Check into how they make you feel. 

* I focus on the good stuff.

* Happiness is an inside job that I can do.

* Everyday I discover wonderful ways to be grateful.

* I will be a better listener.

* I am gorgeous, talented and super-sexy.

* I'm happy, grateful & deeply loved.

* I can do what I set my mind and heart to.

* I am guided by the Divine Force and optimism in all things.

* I will learn to let go and forgive more easily.

* I am surrounded by so many loving and supportive people in my life helping me to have even more faith and confidence in myself.

* I am healthy, happy, strong, beautiful and confident. 

* I speak my mind easily and communicate what I want and need.

* I love, honor and respect myself.


* I am so happy and grateful to be doing what I love! I have such a great life.

* I say Yes to life!

* I give myself the gift of freedom.

* I am happy, healthy and successful in 2016!

* I choose to have fun and be a positive person.

* I give myself the gift of an excellent year!


One of my personal favorites is, "The Universe is conspiring on my behalf." Yeay baby!

Science now confirms that spending just two minutes a day on visualizing your goals or journaling about a happy experience can change your inborn happiness set point. Is it really that easy? 2 minutes a day? Studies show that 2 minutes a day of positive focus make you 40% more likely to get a promotion. Harvard Professor Shawn Achor an author, speaker and researcher of Positive Psychology said on Oprah's Super Soul Sessions said these simple two minute practices have helped people suffering from chronic debilitating diseases decrease their pain medication by 50%. I don't know about you but that is life-altering, alchemical magic. What could a 30 minutes a day do? Imagine the possibilities.

Don't we have to work really hard to be happy? Don't we have to struggle and suffer? I don't think so. Yes we will ultimately commit to what we want and that can take a lot of "dedication and showing up". You might feel some flack coming your way when you choose to prioritize your happiness. Other people can get downright cut throat and judgmental towards people who "choose" to lead more chilled out lives. 

Guilt creeps in and lays down the "shoulds". You should be doing this and should be doing that. It's good to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone. That might be a good mantra for the year. But do yourself the favor of ditching stretching yourself to thin. 

Cut the chains off your feet and let go of the habits that no longer serve you. Make your mantra I feel so alive and happy when I (exercise, meditate, write every morning, volunteer, eat fresh food, spend time with family.. etc) Move towards people, places and things that light you up. Move towards freedom within. Latch onto love. My mantra this year might just be "I feel happy, safe and free onstage". That would be enough and everything for me in 2016. 


Lots of Love & Mantra Magic,
XoTatiana

Weekly Mantra ~ My Creativity Is A Trusted Friend & Ally www.tatianascavnicky.com

As an musical artist and writer I sometimes feel I have goals I need to reach in order to feel I'm a valid creator...a real artist. My Virgo Sun ~ Gemini Rising...ruled by Mercury tries to make me think I have things to do, say and accomplish quickly. It says you have to work and keep putting yourself out there. Enter the slave-driver. There are so many ideas coming in. It can be overwhelming. 

Every one of us came here to do something that is needed for the Greater Good. (That's an Aquarius Moon talking.) I believe that with every fiber of my being. But it's easy when you are super-creative, especially when if your life's work is a career to approach your projects with a crap the whip attitude as if everything depends on it. 

I picked up a copy of "Big Magic" by Elizabeth Gilbert. I highly recommend it. The title got me and I kept getting the message to pick up this book. The Big U is always giving us signs! She shares lots of ways to reframe the way we look at creativity. I absolutely love this one! Have an affair with your creativity. Instead of thinking you have to show up and check your goals off, look at it like you get to meet with your best friend who is amazingly gifted, a charm and a blast to be around. Together you get to go into a magical world to have fun and connect to something way bigger for the fun of it...not because you have to. Not because you have to prove your artistry or validate it by reaching goals...but for the sheer love of it. 

I just had a date with my creativity about the weekly mantra. I asked my muse how can I really touch people deeply every week? What do I want share so that I'm making a difference? She said share what I am passionate about and I am totally into helping you creatively do, what you love to do. And as I just joyously rediscovered for your life's work or simply for the absolute love of it! 

Check out my free Ignite Your Creativity Series for some awesome tips and support to breathe new passion and life into your heart. Let's get you into the sweet flow of creativity again. I've released 2 albums, an ep, been on tour and performed thousands of times, and I write regularly on my blog. I really know what it's like to go through ups and downs when it comes to your creative passion. 

Befriend your creativity this week. Go out on a dates together, enjoy each others company and create. Be grateful for your inventive, amazing and talented partner in all things magical and have fun. 

I'd love to know what you are up to creatively. Did this mantra help you? Have you got a new perspective? Let's chat in the comments below.

Your Weekly Mantra ~ My Personal Charm Is Unstoppable! www.tatianascavnicky.com

Charming The Audience at Kona Rock & Mineral Hawaii

I invite you to take a little trip with me. Think back to when you were a wee one. There you were, a 4 year old flirting with your Aunt so she'd let you wear her ring for a bit, or flashing your toothiest smile to get a big delicious one right back...knowing you could make it happen instantly. Fast forward a few years to your first brush with a crush. You knew just how to tilt your head and flash an eye to the one you had your eye on, and look away. 


Soon you realized you could talk your way into a job you wanted with sheer enthusiasm and a flirty smile, or get your honey to do something for you by just giving that look. Think back to how thick you laid on the charm when you first met your beloved. Sheer magic... and we have "full" access to this...all the time.

It's called turning on the charm, and it can get you what you want, or really close to it. The best part is unleashing your seductive charisma, causes a chain reaction inside, and all of the sudden you are sexy, vivacious, happy and confident. This internal alchemy is super-good heart and soul, and for your health, and it makes you irresistible. It doesn't matter how old you are either. There's no mistaking a twinkle in the eye. 


Here are some ways to turn on the charm this week.

* Wear a dress or outfit that makes you feel sexy and free.

*Walk around naked. 

*Dance to your favorite music. (This can also be done naked.)

* Wrap yourself in lush blankets and enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or beverage of your choice.

* Write yourself a love letter.

* Wink at the person who made your magical morning latte.

* Get your boss coffee, or bring donuts to your co-workers.  

* Send yourself flowers with a note saying "nobody does it quite like you."


This week look in the mirror everyday. Wink and say "I am one hot mama and the world is my oyster." Oh to be a witness to what your charms will do and how A-ma-zing you'll feel. Charm the pants off 'em but by all means...start with your own. 

You are gorgeous!

Your Weekly Mantra ~ " YES " www.tatianascavnicky.com

I sit here as I write to you in view of these beautiful "Queen Berry" roses. I just had to share them. Their color is a deep magenta cherry red. Are they doing their magic on you yet? This is a color of the heart. Deep reds are related to our root chakra, our hearts and passions. It's time to say "Yes". This week I invite you to make a list of your deepest desires and passions. What do you really want for your life? What do you crave? What do you need? What do you not allow yourself to do or have? 


Say "Yes" to what thrills you. Christiane Northrup writes in her latest book "Goddesses Never Age" which you absolutely must get that cultivating our pleasure is one of "the" healthiest things we can do for ourselves. Imagine the ripple effect for you and yours. In fact not that I am advocating smoking at all...but Christiane says that even behaviors that are probably not so good like smoking a pipe, done in the spirit of exquisite pleasure and not excess could keep one alive for years. 

This week indulge yourself in saying "Yes". I invite you to write a list of wants and desires. Don't hold back. I absolutely love Mama Gena's practice of pimping up your space when you write your list. Break out the faux fur blankets. Put on music you like. Dress UP! Go sexy or go glammy but make it special. Write your list from a place of "YEAH" this is what I want! Be prepared to see what you deeply want for yourself show up in the world. Prepare for all manner of gifts, blessings and perks from the big "U" to come your way. What's on your "Yes" list?
