How many times have you told a little white lie thinking it was no big deal? After all, no one got hurt, right? But we all know that one lie leads to even more lies, and eventually you end up in a situation that spirals out of control and becomes completely exhausting.

We tell lies for many reasons, but when we are not speaking truthfully we are not being authentic. We are actually holding back what we really want to say.

Watch as Richa explains what damage not speaking your truth is actually causing in your life. What can you do on a daily basis to live a more truthful and honest life?

Living a life of simplicity sounds simple but it's far from it, I realize that. I hung a sign in my kitchen that reads, "Simplify Your Life". Although I see this sign several times a day, multiplied by for at least 5 years, I am still on the journey of simplifying my life a little bit at a time, one step at a time. 

For me simplifying has required releasing the need to say yes to every demand placed on me, reducing the number of things I choose to put on my plate, letting go of stuff I don't need anymore, whether in my closet, my business or even my health. I have to consciously choose every day to pause, breathe and live life in a way that flows with ease and abundance.

Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life. ~Rumi

I have found that every time I bring my thoughts to gratitude, everything changes. My breath slows down and gets deeper. My thoughts shift to what I have versus what I don't have. My fears and self-limiting ways of thinking clear the way for courage and limitlessness. Simply, everything shifts.

By virtue of allowing gratitude for life and existence you open yourself up to accessing the source of all creation. When you are in gratitude you are saying thank you for everything. Every Thing. Unconditionally. Without Judgment. Without Opinions. Without Criticism. You embrace all things without separation in the state of grace that is gratitude.

Sometimes negative experiences from the past leave one upset, angry or resentful. How can one be grateful for events that have caused trauma and pain in the past? How can one justify being grateful for pain? 

When we look through the lenses of right and wrong, ther...

Lately, I've been present, very present to the likeness of my journey to that of a river. I rise and I fall, but I flow. I bump into rocks and dams, but I thrust forward, over and above the boulders, as though shattering their resolve to stop me. My boldness just tough enough to overcome the opponent. 

Like a river, I change course if I have to, I split into two or more, but I keep flowing. I let go, wishing those parts of me farewell, no longer on my journey, and I tarry on, I keep fllowing.

Like a river, I find myself sometimes gushing uninhibited, but also sometimes calm, almost still, with infinitesimal movement. The world, the weather, the air - they all affect me.

Who is this that chooses to flow along with me for a while? Who are the co-travelers with whom I have a journey to share? I take all that I am and all that I have to support and guide them to their destination.

Like a river, I also feel held, very held by the banks on either side of me. They help me stay my course...

My husband introduced me to a blog called The Minimalists. Have you heard of them? I read their blog "There Will Be Bruises" and subscribed to it immediately. I don't believe in coincidences, and don't believe The Minimalists have crossed my path by accident. Let me share why I say this.

This year I have been making some big choices and significant moves. My life, both personal and professional are going through a transformation. Like I always say, transformation is like peeling an onion, it happens in layers. Well, uncovering these layers has been very exciting for me! At work, I have been delivering my message about transformation, healing and compassion with the world with more clarity and discipline than I ever have before. At home, my husband and I have decided to build a new home this year, which has been a conscious and deliberate process. But like The Minimalists say, there will be bruises, and I couldn't agree more.

At my recent Pause For Power Luncheon, where I interviewe...

In this world of instant gratification where there's pretty much a drive through for everything from fast food to pharmacies and banking to Starbucks coffee - there is no such thing as a drive-through-breakthrough! The road to creating lasting transformation may not always be pretty, but the effects are more lasting than any change or quick fix there is.

Don't try changing, try transforming instead. What you change can change back, but the effects of transformation simply are more lasting and permanent.

Let's talk about procrastination for a minute. Yes, now, not tomorrow. How predictable! As much as it hurts to admit, if there was a way of putting off doing something for tomorrow or the next week, I've probably tried it! This was a habit that I developed over time and slowly but surely began to master, until....I couldn't afford to anymore.

Since I wasn't in the present moment most of the time I hadn't realized what the energetic consequences of procrastination were. I was not only putting off the task at hand, I was putting off the unfolding and conscious creation of a future that I deeply desired. I spent time wondering why I wasn't witnessing breakthroughs and results? While all along my actions had been rather lacklustre. A bit unfair, isn't it? To expect our intentions and dreams be manifested while self-sabotaging the very things we yearn the most?

So where are you in your life today? What went through your mind when you wa...

The Law Of Attraction and affirmations can be very powerful tools if used correctly. Used merely on the surface leaving the underlying belief systems unaddressed is the equivalent of putting icing on mud pie. When used like band aid, the impact of those affirmations is transitional and temporary, resulting in their failure to produce the results you seek. Soon enough repeating affirmations in front of the mirror two to five times a day seems less appealing and you fall back into your old patterns. There is a way however, to avert the failure of affirmations. In this 6 minute podcast Richa talks about how you have to connect with the inner awareness and truth of who you are to create the transformation you desire using the law of attraction. it can work, but you have to know how.
