Omyst

Product: Omyst™

Omyst™ is genius. Too often we just grab a tube of cream and have no real idea what's in it, what chemicals or where they originate. Omyst is a patented medicine created by a Family Nurse Practitioner and herbalist. It's a healing herbal first-aid spray that demonstrates the powerful constituents organic plants provide to heal skin ailments such as insect bites, scrapes, cuts, minor burns, rashes as well as ezcema, psoriasis and shingles. Omyst is equally safe and effective for babies and adults. Everyone should get a bottle of this.

Wolves_thumb

Book: Women Who Run With the Wolves

This is a book I recommend to any woman right now who is wondering what it means to be feminine, to have a career, to be a mom, to be a lover, to find her creative power, to pursue a dream, to grow wiser, any woman who is looking for her place in the world. It will help you understand many facets of what it means to be a woman. Clarissa’s writing and story telling is magnificent. Buy it at Amazon.

Tryitoneverything

Movie: Try It On Everything

This movie was created by friends of mine. Brother/sister team, Jessica and Nick Ortner are both in their early 20's and are a real inspiration to all of us about what's possible.

It's a film about the power of "tapping" certain energy spots on our bodies to help heal all sorts of things like fear of public speaking, chronic pain and weight loss. They inspired dozens of phenomenal experts — big names you've heard of — to participate and be interviewed.

I tap before going on TV... that should get you interested. Check it out.

Futureoffood

Movie: The Future of Food

I blogged about this movie. It will have you think very differently about the benefits of eating organic. I wasn't convinced until I saw the facts.

Plus, it's time for us to really care about the issues facing our country around food, farmers, chemicals and also what we need to know about Genetically Modified Foods. I had no idea what was going on and I plan to speak up a lot more on this issue. This is a must see.

Meetmeat

Book: Meet Your Meat

This is a very confronting movie with real facts about the meat, dairy, cheese and ice cream we consume. This is a documentary that will truly have you think about your food choices and the impact on your health and that of your family and loved ones. It's only 12 minutes long — that's really all you need to watch what the producers uncovered, that is being hidden from all of us.

Wayne-dyer

Movie: From Ambition to Meaning

Many of you know that Wayne Dyer is a beautiful friend and teacher of mine. I have interviewed him a few times for the site and recently saw the premiere of his film here in New York.

This is his first movie and it's an incredible success. The film deals with the move from seeing life through the eyes of ego, raw ambition and selfish motives towards a deeper heart connection with everything we do with our lives. It's the eventual shift that we all will feel. Wayne provides such a safe environment to explore this transition for people in their personal lives and also with what they want their career to be about.

Mike-dooley

Website: Notes from the Universe

I get an email from "The Universe" each morning. It's a short, funny and an accurate representation of what's going on in life! And, they always make me smile.

Love_now

Website: LoveNow

This video was made by a very good friend of mine, Kute Blackson, a fellow change optimist.
I fully support and love his work—this is the latest of his contributions to the world and to creating change. The video is part of a larger movement that he is trying to create, encouraging people to become more committed to loving each other and mankind well. We can all do as he encourages: Give appreciation now. Give smiles now. Give your heart now.

New_leaf

Product: New Leaf Touchstone Bracelets

I met Cindy when I was giving a workshop in Boston. She very kindly gave me one of her bracelets and I've been wearing it ever since. I love the 'turning a new leaf' idea. It's funny how symbols help when we are going through change, how just having a bracelet on to remind us of what our intention is, what we want to create and change, can keep us on track. They come in various colors by the way. I got a dark red one!

Inside_out_rings

Product: Inside Out Rings

Here is something I can proudly say I discovered before Oprah did- coz I know she will and she will love them! These rings are amazing, I met Holly the creator at a retreat in Hawaii. The idea behind them is that what counts is on the inside first....and then bringing that to the outside world, so these rings have stones that mean various things on the inside of the ring. I have a courage ring (a red stone)- I am rarely without it. Other ones are love, health, intuition.... Get one, they work, there's something very special about them and Holly. Its a perfect gift to yourself or for someone else.

Balance

Product: Balance Water

I love this water from Australia. It has flower essences that help your mind and body—it's even great for traveling. The body feels amazing! They just arrived in the US. See what New York Magazine says about Balance Water.

Inspiration_wear

Product: Inspirational Clothes

These T-shirts make me happy. They are simple and represent what's important to me.

True_bracelet

Product: Stay True to Who You Are Bracelets

A friend of mine designed these and I wear mine proudly! It's a great reminder of how to live. I have bought a dozen already for friends.

5_year_journal

Product: The 5 Year Journal

I have had one of these for three years now, and it's always with me. You get a few lines to reflect on each day, and you can also see how you were doing the previous year(s). It puts you on a path of progress.

Udo

Product: Udo's Oil

I start each day with a spoonful of Udo's Oil. It's a quick and easy change that will really help your body. It's made up of all healthy fats—real brain food. After taking this, your body will thank you.

Corevital

Product: CoreVitál Greens

I am all for alkalizing your body. I drink a bottle of water with super green powder everyday. CoreVitál Greens are my favorite for taste and results. They're great for energy and weight loss, and I never get sick!

Lucky_duck

Product: One Lucky Duck

Raw food is energy food, full of good stuff for the body. Add raw food to every meal. This is one of my favorites—they have great products.

Paige_jeans

Product: Paige Denim

My jeans, what would I do without them? These give a good bum! Many women agree, and men, too!

Rebounding

Product: Rebounding

This is another one of my secrets to energy and health — a mini trampoline. I have one at home, and will soon have one in the office. Just jump on it whenever you need a boost. It helps with all types of health issues — increases brain function and creative thought. It's good during timesof change—it gets things moving again, and it's FUN. Get one at your local sports store or online.

Vision_board

Product: Vision Boards

Vision boards are a great representation of everything you want in your life. We have a board for the company and I have one for me personally. It's easy to do: Just cut out images, words and quotes that illustrate what you want to attract into your life. I promise you it's spectacular, and it works!

Bach

Product: Bach Rescue Remedy

I always have a bottle of this with me. It's a natural remedy for those moments of stress, unexpected news, trauma and the tough stuff that we all deal with. You can get it at any health food store—it's truly inner peace and calm in a bottle.

Bikram_yoga

Other: Bikram Yoga

This is my favorite exercise, especially during times of change. It's 26 postures in a hot room—your whole mind, body and spirit will be different when you are done. I regularly go a few times a week.
