There’s a simple question I ask myself when something feels off.

👉 Am I living above or below the line?

⤴️ ABOVE THE LINE, you’re:

- Open
- Curious
- Present
- You take responsibility for what’s yours
- You respond (instead of react)

You’re connected to yourself and what’s actually going on around you.

__________________________

⤵️BELOW THE LINE, you’re:

- Reactive
- Defensive
- On autopilot
- You blame
- You shut down

You’re not really present, because you’re running old programs.

WHAT I’VE LEARNED: The patterns that keep us below the line aren’t character flaws. They are:

➖Beliefs we absorbed from our families.

➖Responses our nervous system developed to keep us safe.

➖Identities we built around survival strategies that worked once — and now just keep us small.

This is exactly why I use Theta Healing and psychosynthesis coaching together in my work.

THETAHEALING gets beneath the surface and gently rewires it.

PSYCHOSYNTHESIS helps you understand the whole of who you are. The parts that are thriving, the parts that are protecting you, the parts that are ready to grow. And integrates them into a more coherent, aligned version of yourself.

Together, they don’t just help you recognize when you’re below the line. They change what pulls you there in the first place.

The above/below the line concept from the Conscious Leadership Group — and it’s a great self-awareness frameworks. #lifecoach #theline #thetahealing #psychosynthesis by @monmethod

We spend so much time focused on who we’re trying to BECOME (the goals, the growth, the next version) that we forget to actually BE with who we are right now.

But this version of you:
She’s worked hard to get here.
She’s carrying things quietly.
She’s figuring it out in real time.

✨She deserves your attention,
🏃‍♀️not just your ambition.

So today, just for a moment, acknowledge where you are.
What it took to get here.
What you’re proud of, even if it’s small.

The woman you’re becoming is on her way.
But she’s being built by the woman you are right now.

Don’t rush past her. 🤍

What’s something you appreciate about who you are today? 💬

There’s something about the desert that makes silence feel alive.

I filmed this in Joshua Tree, CA 🏜️while watching the light release the day. The desert doesn’t hold on. It doesn’t try to make the sunset last longer than it’s meant to.

It just lets it go.

That’s what this meditation is about. Not forcing stillness. Not performing peace. Just borrowing a little desert wisdom.

Take 30 seconds. Breathe out. And let the sky carry it.

🌵✨

Where do you go when you need to remember how to let go? 👇

I decided to “follow my glimmers.” And it was one of the best years ever. This year, more of the same.

Think of GLIMMERS as the opposite of triggers. They’re the internal signals that we associate with positive experiences, like JOY, AWE, or LOVE. They are the things the LIGHT US UP. ✨

For example,

Think of a moment, or a person, when you were fully PRESENT. Make it a time you felt GRATITUDE for being alive. The kind that makes you smile until your eyes crinkle, and your cheeks hurt.

Hold on to that moment and close your eyes. Notice where else you FEEL IT in your body.

Let that feeling spread.

Remember it!

And look for it throughout your life. ✨🤍#Glimmers #lifecoachingforwomen #thetahealing #awe #northstar taken in Miami, Florida by @monmethod

Follow your glimmers. 👆

We talk a lot about triggers. They’re moments that pull us into survival mode. Heart racing. Body bracing. Stress hormones flooding in.

But did you know there’s an opposite?

GLIMMERS are the micro-moments when your nervous system exhales.

A term coined by trauma therapist Deb Dana, glimmers are small cues of safety and connection that literally begin to rewire your nervous system toward ease, one tiny spark at a time.

The thing is we’re taught to know our triggers.
Nobody really teaches us to know our glimmers.

So three years ago I made it my mission to find mine.

And now I keep that resolution every single year.

Your glimmers might look like:
✨ A song that takes you back
✨ A quality of light at a certain hour
✨ A yummy texture, a sound, a smell
✨ Movement that makes you forget the world
✨ Any moment where your body says YES before your brain says anything at all

Start there.
Notice what lights you up.
Then follow it… on purpose.

Your nervous system is always listening.
So give it something beautiful to hear.

Drop one of your glimmers below👇

Reinvention isn’t about hating your life or starting from zero.

Sometimes it’s simply realizing… you want more out of your life.

That there’s a version of your life that truly feels like you.

Reinvention is a shift — toward confidence, clarity, and real excitement for YOUR life.

If you feel ready for that shift, reach out. We can schedule a free 30 minute introductory call and discuss what works best! by @monmethod

Your mind is like the clear, blue, spacious sky.

Just as the sky is vast and all-encompassing,

your true nature is also inherently clear and limitless.

The sky holds space for the weather,

but it is not the weather.

There are days when it is calm and clear.

And there are days it is cloudy and turbulent with storms.

Whatever the weather, the sky itself remains unaffected.

To gain freedom and clarity, we should allow our thoughts and emotions to be like the clouds in the sky.

To arise, to pass through our minds and to move on,

Without attachment or identification with its contents.

—

The Sky-Like Mind is a Buddhist metaphor used to describe our true nature. The key message is two-fold:

1. Like the sky, our true nature is inherently clear and unobstructed.
2. By letting go of attachment and identification (AKA “self grasping”) we can embody this innate clarity and freedom.

Why does this matter?

👀 BUILD SELF-AWARENESS: This lets you understand your inner dynamics and realize that who you are is not limited to your thoughts, emotions or behaviors. You are the one experiencing them.

🤸INCREASE MENTAL FLEXIBILITY: The more you practice “letting go” of your thoughts, the quicker you’ll become aware when your internal dilemas are running your life. By regularly boosting your exposure to inner peace, you’ll reduce stress and build the muscle of returning to equilibrium.

🕊️FREEDOM THROUGH SELF-ACCEPTANCE: By making more conscious decisions, you’ll be freed from the limiting beliefs and habits that keep you in cycles of self-criticism and self-judgement.

⚡️SPIRITUAL GROWTH AND PURPOSE: Relax the strong hold on your identity and you can begin to take steps to align with your best and highest good. You’ll begin to lead a more meaningful life that feels right for you.

🔖Save this post so you can return to this meditation whenever your mind feels a bit stormy.

Throughout the process, we'll consider your ideal living situation, career, health, and lifestyle, as well as your social and romantic life. You'll emerge from this call with a concrete plan that focuses on what steps you can take over the next year to make your vision a reality.

You’ll use Psychosynthesis and Accountability tools such as:

▪️The Ideal Model Framework

▪️Prochaska’s Stages of Change

▪️Guided Imagery Meditation

▪️Engaging the Psychological Functions

💭By the end of the workshop, you’ll feel better because your ideas aren’t just floating around in your head. 📋They’ll be written down in a format that feels easy to follow.

🗺️You will have a general plan for the long term, and specific action steps you can take over the next year to hit your milestones.

Think of someone you care about. Pick someone that naturally makes you smile. Maybe it’s a good friend or a relative… it might even be your pet. Picture them experiencing happiness. Did that make you smile?

MUDITA is Sanskrit word that translates to “sympathetic joy” or “altruistic joy.”

It means “the joy or happiness that comes from witnessing the success and well-being of others.”

How does MUDITA help YOUR happiness?

It trains your mind to:

— Recognize happiness more easily (in your life, and in the lives of others)

— Treat happiness as an important experience

— Rejoice and feel more fulfilled by joy

Want to work on recognizing happiness and building healthy practices that bring you back to center?

Has your “resolution enthusiasm” started to plateau? Maybe you’re feeling a little anxious because you didn’t keep up how you wanted to. Use “Metta” meditation when you’re in a negativity rut to get yourself back on neutral ground. Read more about it below..

🧘From the Theravada Buddhist tradition, “Metta”, or the loving-kindness meditation, is a practice that focuses on developing feelings of compassion and love for oneself and others.

HOW TO DO IT:
— Choose 4 phrases that express well-wishes and positive intentions.
— Start with directing love and kindness towards yourself for a few minutes.
— Gradually extend to loved ones, acquaintances, and even people you might be having difficulties with.

WHATS THE GOAL? To cultivate a sense of unconditional love, empathy, and goodwill towards all beings, without discrimination.

WHY SHOULD YOU TRY IT?
💪 RESILIENCE — It reduces negative emotions, helping you bounce back when you’re feeling low.
💆 FEEL BETTER — It improves your overall sense of well-being, encouraging you to feel confident.
🫂 CONNECTION — It promotes a sense of interconnectedness with others, so you don’t feel alone.

Meditation and mindfulness are some of the tools we use in Mon Method Coaching to:
🪨GROUND and CENTER before we dive in
🧱 BUILD a practice that brings you peace, builds discipline and encourages action.
