Commit to WISH and Win a Trip to Mexico This May!
Commit to WISH and Win a Trip Mexico This May!
by Tera Warner
When trying to decide what I could do to help increase the participation and commitment factor of this FINAL WISH Summit, I decided to do something crazy, totally out of budget, but super inspiring all the same. I decided to invite all the committed, persistent and determined women who are a part of this community, to come and share their realizations throughout the 40 days and 40 nights of the WISH Summit with our community on the blog or on the Facebook page. ONE of those amazing women will be awarded with an invitation to join us absolutely free in Tulum, Mexico this may for The Ultimate Adventure in Self-Love and Self-Discovery with 23 other AMAZING women!
I’ll explain how it works and what you need to do below! This could be your ticket to come and spend time with me in Mexico, Baby!!
Here’s How It Works
Starting on March 9th as the first day, I would simply ask that you share something about your participation and involvement in the WISH Summit. I don’t expect you to like or “connect” with all our callers, but some are absolutely life-changing and we’d love to hear what you think. The most important part is your commitment to participating every day during the event. I’m not saying you have to listen to the ENTIRE call. I’m just asking you to commit to being involved, participating and sharing that participation with our community! (If you’re not comfortable with posting on my Facebook page, then you’re welcome to simply post your experiences and feedback here on the blog. Just write in the comment section of this blog every day for the 40 days of the WISH Summit.)
The FIRST call starts with Pete’s call on March 9th. Our intro call with Tom was there to help set the stage and create a beautiful blessing for the event. Now the content and inspiration starts and I’d love to hear what you think, and have you share your experience and contribution as you go. And how cool is it that doing so could have you win a trip to Mexico!! And not just ANY trip. The Ultimate Adventure in Self-Love & Self-Discovery! This is going to be AMAZING!
Please Note: While we will be able to cover all your costs for the experience, in order to avoid penalizing people who are local, we ask that you cover the costs for your own travel to our event location. The rest, is on us! (Almost a $4,500 value!!)
Thank you so much for participating and may all of your wild and wonderful WISHes come true!!
Love,
Tera

I love that we are all chasing charm at our own levels. I listened into Tom’s call today. (his other call) He certainly walks his talk and is totally filled with charm

I felt really inspired by Tom’s call! I was able to tell by the way he spoke, that he has his priorities straight! There are so many things pulling us in many directions, it is hard to slow down and focus. I love being reminded to rest not only the body, but the mind through meditation and relaxation. What a great kick off to this years summit!

I love learning about Tom and Stillness.

Before I had kids, I practiced yoga and meditated regularly, and benefited greatly of course! This call made me acutely aware of how deeply I miss going within! I love how Tom talked about “emptying the vessel of what we are not, and then filling it back up with positivity, joy, love…” (something close to that anyway!)
While I am a very happy mama, between the distractions of media and busy little ones,it is high time that I start consciously creating space for stillness again!
Tera, I am SO excited about this summit! It’s just what I need right now, truly. And while I don’t know a whole lot about your Adventure in Self Love program, I do know that the title speaks volumes. And to spend a week with you and 23 other amazing women diving in to self love would be a mind-blowing, life-ehancing journey no doubt. While things are really good in my life now, I am actually just emerging from so many experiences over the course of the past 7 years that had me lose touch with who I was and question everything I thought I knew. I am emerging though! I’m emerging because I always held on to faith, and to the beauty that I know exists all around me in this world. Seeing so much ugliness for so long definitely makes re-emerging a challenge to do with the same confidence, trust and love that I once know I radiated….but every day I am releasing more of the anger and hurt, and that is a blessing that I am beyond grateful for.
Oh, and the trip to Tulum (a place that is near and dear to one of my sistas so has always been on my list!) is the week I turn 35!
I’m definitely ready to “look better, feel better, and be on FIRE for life!”
I’m all in!

I plan to participate….. right now I’m a little reticent to post on facebook, but after 2 calls, my guess is that I will be posting soon. Thanks so much for gathering all of this information for us. I need it; it’s in a gazillion places; and having a spot where I can access the hoards makes me so happy! Special TY to SARK for letting me know that you are doing this!!!

Tera –
I am so excited for this WISH summit, and I want to thank you for offering your interviews for FREE! Enabling us to download the mP3 is very generous of you. As a way to express my gratitude, I am committing to tuning into the summit and commenting daily. So far, I have listened to Tom Cronin. WOW. He is filled with so much wisdom and light. And what’s amazing is that he has reminded me that I too possess that wisdom. It’s the wisdom of the universe and we all have it! A few years ago I received what I am beginning to think was a spontaneous enlightenment. It was on the day my grandmother died and I believe it was her spirit whispering to me my truth. On that day I sat down, picked up a pencil, and what poured onto paper 3 poems. I had never really written poetry so easily before. Anyway … in the last 3 years there are often times I hear nuggets of wisdom from gurus that remind me of something from my poems. And every time it happens, I think to myself … “you KNOW this, now go out and LIVE it.” It’s always a nice reminder to take inspired action. One of the things Tom said was “A lot of people are trying to fix their bodies but unless we tend to the state of the mind, then it will be difficult to heal our bodies.” This sounded a lot like something I wrote which was … “Nourishment comes from within. Until you see yourself for what you’re worth, the food on your plate is secondary.” My challenge now is to honor my worth. Why is that so hard? Anyway … I have lots of other connections I’ve made to his blessing … more than I can share in this “comment” … but I am also going to commit to launching my blog in an effort to share my musings and knowledge with the world. I will also post the poems my grandmother whispered to me. For now, Thank you. Thank you for the WISH summit. Thank you for providing this forum to chat and share and connect. Thank you for all your great work in this world. ❤ DIna

i have been excitedly awaiting this 2013 wish summit since i last attended last year. tera, thank you so much again for providing so much inspiration and tangible tools for so many women seeking more awareness and wholeness. tom’s message of stillness breathed charm and centeredness, laying a lovely foundation for more enlightening messages to come.

Hi Tera! I just listened to your call with Pete Cerqua and did the workout and waaaaaa! Amazing! I have done so many different forms of exercise over the years and never felt the burn that fast as I did today! I am so committed to doing the full 40 days for a number of reason but the Mexico trip would be such an amazing adventure and so timely in my life. I want you to know that I have been listening to WISH avidly every year and from the very beginning it sparked something inside of me that has changed my life and every year it gets better! I am so sad to hear that this is its last year but thrilled for what is to come for you in the future. Thank you for being a beacon of light and love in my life when I have needed it most. These calls started an inner transformation that continues to grow and expand every day. I am so grateful to you, your amazing interviewees and all the gifts of treasure it has all given me. Much love to you! Super excited to see what the next 40 days brings. xoxo

Thank You!

I was stunned to learn that the traditional 3 sets of 12 reps was not the most efficient way to work out! I also related to Tera (you) saying that sometimes you feel the time you spent thinking about working takes more time than just doing it! This was an inspiring interview! Thank you!

I love being challenged and love dreaming about a trip with Tera to Mexico!!! I am so proud of myself for taking time during vacation to listen to both last and tonight’s calls and getting through them despite very slow internet connection in Guatemala. Tom helped me recommit to my meditation practice and Pete just kicked my butt with his 90 second challenge. I love it and will continue doing these excercises for the next 40 days! Thank you so much for your inspiration, love, motivations and support, Tera. I also loved that Nicolas did the challenge with you – so sweet!!!

By Lenore Novak on Mar 9, 2013
I like how Pete gives the reasons why the high intensity works and reps don’t. Can’t wait to get started. Thanks for letting me join in this 40 day journey. I’m hoping this Wish Summit is my answer to a healthier, more peaceful person.

By Neshama on Mar 10, 2013
Thank you for starting with Tom. I became a virtual student of his after last year’s WISH Summit and found stillness sessions as he coached them to be really valuable. Somewhere along the way I fell off the wagon and this call was what I needed to recommit. I am so excited about the next 40 days.

By alisa on Mar 10, 2013
Looking forward to 40 days of WISH. What a great acronym – WISH! I loved Tom’s call about stillness. It provided a gentle nudge for me to get back to my morning meditations and I look forward to checking out more of Tom’s techniques..I also greatly enjoyed Pete’s call and look forward to challenging myself with his workout. I expect to need to work up to 90 seconds and look forward to the challenge. i can’t wait to feel the invigoration that will come from this challenge. WooHoo! Bring it on!!

Pete’s call last night was just what I needed. commit to 40 days of wall sits and planks! I can be very lazy when it comes to exercise, but now I’m motivated and ready to go!!

This is the third wish summit that I am committing myself to, and I have to say the last two have completely changed my life!!! I’m so so excited. It would mean so much to me to go to Mexico and be able to meet beautiful women that share the same passion for life that I have found here… and meet Tera *blush* If I had the financial means I would be packing my suitcase right now!!!
Thank you so much for the summit, I’ll be crossing my fingers I get to go to mexico too!!!

Before my thirties finding silence was nearly impossible. Now in my mid forties it is a daily vacation.
It was always a necessity, but now it isnt nearly as difficult. That said, I often forget. Thanks for the reminder.
We can hardly be at our best if we cant hear over the din.
As for short sweet workouts, i began doing them even before motherhood, but now theyre all I do. High level short WOs are more effective, feel better and yeild faster results. I’ve written a few blogs on the subject and am glad Tera covered this since too few people know.
Excited for the next installment!

This is a Great incentive, although I am questioning myself as whether I can do this or not… but two days in a row is a good, scratch that… GREAT Start! After listening to your interview with Pete Cerqua just moments ago, I found myself Motivated for Motion! Thanks Tera for this great WISH!

I am so excited to try this Summit out. I have a beautiful family and three beautiful kids I am home with everyday. That alone is a blessing and what more could I be asking for? Recently, I realized I have forgotten to make time for myself and I am so glad to throw myself into WISH. I need to focus more on my health and I am hoping this kicks me off in the right direction. It’s time I work on myself.
More importantly, I have to thank you for offering the calls for Free. As a stay-at-home mom I feel guilty spending money on things for myself and now that is one major obstacle you are removing from my life. Now I can commit fully. YAY!

Day 1: Started with my first ‘stillness session’ in 6 months; followed by listening to Pete’s call, doing the exercises and having a kale/mango smoothie. I was struck by how powerful and energizing the short, intense exercises are. I was also intrigued to learn the power of ‘lowering’. I plan to order the book today. I feel more motivated and inspired today than I have in a very long time.
So-first day stats:
Wall Squat (two legs) – 95 secs.
Plank (no lowering due to shoulder injury): 47 sec.
I even learned how to use the stopwatch feature on my phone!
WISH onward!

Thank you for all your work and for this huge gift, the WISH!
What impressed me most of Tom’s call was the sense of calmness, even if he was a “chaotic mess inside” (I use his own words).
We all have this and part of the work we do is to calm this mess inside us.
The vast ocean of my inner life needs to be calm and thank to what I do, learn and know I can make the difference. As women we need to calm the ocean, to reach this point of calmness…
Talking about himself he says also that his life was like a “burning candle”…well, Tera with your support we can be like candles, enlighting our path and the path of our beloved.
Thank you very much!
Susanna, from Italy

I am really enjoying this years call so far. I am committed each day to take part in the wall sits and plank. I am currently active however want to experiment with what he is saying. I think your summit can touch women of all walks of life and different stages. My wish for women is to take care of themselves first. What will you do for you today?
[Reply]
By susanna on Mar 10, 2013
I just finished to scream after the exercises Pete suggested and I couldn’t help but thinking about what he said at the beginning…”Women are really strong and they don’t know”..well, after his exercises I know it for sure!
With my endorphines running all over my body, I think I’ll be perfect in Mexico!
It’s time for a super smoothie, have a good day!

Tera; I will always hold the WISH Summit in highest regard. I first listened 2 years ago, and your generosity of spirit, soul, and information was transformative. I follow quite a few bloggers, spiritual gurus, and authors, but YOU have always kept me reading and WISHing! I can’t wait to see your smiling face in my inbox, it never feels like overmarketing, or high pressure selling. Through WISH I was introduced to so many amazing peeps! Christine Arylo, Lissa Rankin & Nadine Artemis to name a few. I give myself the GIFT of committing to the 40 days of this WISH summit!

By Ilene on Mar 10, 2013
Just finished listening to Pete’s call. I’ll commit to the 40 day challenge. The exercises were really a lot more challenging than I thought they would be. Since I haven’t done the wall sits before I think I’ll just do the first kind and not the cross over one. This is an awesome experience so far…looking forward to more!

I’m doing the wall sit/plank challenge! I wasn’t too worried about the wall sit as I did those back in high school volley ball. I’ve never been able to do planks. It’s interesting that he has a reverse plank. I hope I’m doing it right!

By abigail on Mar 10, 2013
pete’s call really gave me the simple, practical approach i need to get into an exercise routine that is doable. i started the master cleanse at the beginning of the summit and then will begin a raw food diet, but need to exercise more (my weakest area). this is the encouragement and outline that i need at this step! thanks again so much tera for bringing him on!!
[Reply]
By Ilene on Mar 10, 2013
So much was covered pretty quickly. I’ll have to replay the recording to practice the techniques. I wonder if a printed guide with steps to the breathing techniques could accompany the audio. Amazing to realize how many body functions are affected by how we breathe! Thanks!

Tera, I believe I commented on your facebook page yesterday, but I wanted to post here as well. I am committed to the 40 days of the WISH Summit, along with Pete Cerqua’s exercises. In fact, my whole family is exercising along with me! Mexico sounds lovely…thanks so much for doing all this!

By Carla on Mar 10, 2013
I love staying fit and Pete’s suggestions leave no excuses for anyone to not get a work out in. I’m taking on the challenge and for Day 1 I did a 90 second wall sit and a 90 second plank. I can’t wait to document my results and share them with you all over the next 40 days.

Up until the last few months, (due to many family challenges), I have felt YOUNG, even though I am a great grandmother. People have always commented on my youthfulness.
I have been feeling lately like I am just putting in time, which has disturbed me. But listening to Tom and Pete, and your laughter, Tera, made me feel ALIVE again. I have been cheerful and encouraged since then, and look forward to going to Mexico.

Tera! I am so thrilled you are doing a call 100% centered around the breath! This past year I have spent a lot of time reconnecting with my breath which was something I had never really given much attention before. This call took me that much further and just the breathing in the beginning. I had never considered thinking about my diaphragm and just loved all the awesomeness that this call gave me!
[Reply]
By Susan A. on Mar 11, 2013
I am going to listen to the call with Dr. Belisa over and over! It was enlightening. As a woman I always feel I have to hold my stomach in – it is so freeing to really breathe in and out. I go into a hyperbaric chamber to treat lymes disease and oxygen helps – imagine how much better it will work listening to Dr. Belisa’s call instead of fiddling with my other electronics! Thank you Tera for another life changing call!

By Beth on Mar 11, 2013
I grew gills this morning! How cool is that?!
While I conceptually knew all of this about breathing already, I have not been consciously breathing in quite some time. I have struggled with both anxiety and digestive issues at different times in my life, and this call reminded me that I have a tool that really couldn’t be more affordable and accessible, right under my nose! Aaaaaah…..thank you Dr. Belisa!
Also, loving starting my day with 2 simple but powerful exercises! That and some good belly breathing…so invigorating!
Day 2 Wall Squat: 52sec., Plank 60 sec.

Day 2 with Dr Belisa.
All I can say is thanks for all the informations and for the oxygenation of my brain and of my thoughts!
“Inspire”, from Old Latin, means “bring the Spirit inside”….with the informations of this call I’ll be “inspired” and full of energy.
And it takes only an “inspiration”! Isn’t ita amazing?
Thanks Tera for this call!

AHHHHHH! Yes! I just listened to the call with Dr. Belisa! WOW! so much amazing information about the breath, beyond anything I have heard before!
Between the 90 second challenge this morning and the deep, 3D breathing Dr Belisa explained, I am raring to go! Tera, as usual, your sincere curiosity makes this information sparkle!
I can’t wait to breath on the beach in Mexico!

Thank you for so generously allowing us to “participate” by listening in to the phone calls. The breathing call was really an eye-opening experience! Who knew how much capacity we truly had in them lungs??!!
Your “Journey to Self-Love” is such an attention-getting title! So many of us don’t know how to do this. I’m learning….I’m rooting out all the wrong beliefs, and replacing those lies with truths…
Blessings to you!

Day 1
Dear Tera,
Thank you for sharing inspiring, life-changing messages through the WISH Summit. I am committed to following the calls for 40 days (I’ll be traveling later this month, so I may need to double up sometimes) and to completing Pete Cerqua’s exercises. After doing basic wall sits and planks for several months, it is fun to have a new fitness challenge. (one-legged wall sit – 60 sec.; slow sit ups – 50 sec.; lowering plank – 45 sec.)
The prospect of connecting deeply with other lively, passionate women in the exotic, natural environment of Tulum, Mexico, is delightful to contemplate, even if the journey remains an adventure of the imagination.
With big, beautiful wishes,
Kimberly

The 3 interviews, so far, have been sooo inspiring.
My husband had created a pull-up bar at the entrance to our living area, with notches and holes to adjust to for the different sizes in our family of 5 children and 2 adults, which we used for years. I tried it after listening to Pete … I cannot lift my legs! I will keep at it, and I am determined! Thank you, Pete.
I am honoring my pelvic floor… another discovery! Thank you; thank you; thank you.

What a great call with Alice. So nice to know there are other fabulous ways we can move our body. How freeing!

By Lori Page on Mar 11, 2013
Ok, so Alice is phenomenal!!! It’s so fabulous to be able to begin to understand why we are in some elements and then switch – other than “It’s a woman’s prerogative!” I’ll be going back to listen to her again and again… where is the first call???
[Reply]
By Ilene on Mar 11, 2013
Listened to todays call by Bellyfit. Bought book by Pete. Did my wallsit (50 sec) and plank (20 sec). May have to modify plank, bent arms causing neck/shoulder pain according to Chiro.
All set to challenge myself tomorrow! Having second thought about running 5 and 10K’s.
[Reply]
By abigail on Mar 12, 2013
listening/posting on each of these wonderful calls daily…. and just love the new thoughts on the movement of the elements in our lives, (or dwelling in one too much) and the nourishing ways to give to the body that you and alice bracegirdle explored. it is freeing my head up to move more, stay active with life’s rhythms…feeling it, living it!!! than you sooo much!!!!
[Reply]
By Ashleigh on Mar 12, 2013
Just listened to the call with Alice Bracegirdle: As a fellow Canadian, I loved hearing each and every one of her accented ‘abouts’
But more importantly, her commentary on the elements was eye opening. She addressed the excess of earth, and talked about it manifesting as cysts and tumours…4 years ago my doctors found a cyst in my brain. It sparked a journey to healing that is all about honouring the cycles of my body, going with the flow, and moving with the earth. The elemental idea is food for thought, and an action call to connect body mind and soul!

Wow!
These calls are all so inspiring! Thank you so much for offering them to us! These are all people I’d love to meet face to face one day. This summit is so great, and how fun to be doing something with people who want to better themselves.
A great group of grrls, a great idea, a great summit and a chance to win a trip to add icing on the proverbial cake of self-improvement, how fantastic is that?
I really was surprised to find out that the traditional, or at least how I’ve always trained, 3 sets of 10-12 reps wasn’t the best idea. I love learning, and going forward, thank you again for this summit and for all the wonderful advice and knowledge imparted.
Blessings to you and the whole team!

so hoping this post works for days March9th and 10th as well as today March 12th….happy to see that my post for 11th did go thru but as i am not Facebooked as i thot i was…i will post here daily instead. Everyday in everyway everything is getting better and better – so far i can even more appreciate my silence spaces of time – and commitment to never miss them morning and night, my 90sec challenges on and off the wall and floor, i am breathing completely diffently [and i thot i knew bellybreath 'breath of fire' from kundalini and from yoga proactise] but now it is like i never knew how to do basic life essence breathing! also getting to the building blocks as all the elemental forces in my life play such a strong role in where i am and where i am going that now having dance and music and movement to express them with will make my journey so much more full and bountiful…hanging on for the ride!! oh yea and all the chlorophyl now filling my cells from the green smoothies from your site recipes are perfect for warming up all the winter -25C days & transforming them to bright sunny doses of energy…..thks a ton laurie

I find the 40 day challenge motivating in so many ways. The past two WISH summits – I “fell behind” and feel like this year will be different becasue of the built in accountability on this blog. Each year – my goal is to connect with one new teacher to learn more deeply with and 1-3 new techniques to use ongoing.

LOVED your interview with Alice ~ you two are both adorable!
As a former personal trainer who has spent a lot of time in the gym, it was so refreshing to think about choosing our movements inuitively based on the elements. I am very aware of when I feel contracted or expanded, or in the flow or stuck….and knowing that I could shift my energy based on what element I might be experiencing an excess of is pretty cool. Time to tune in and listen more, and trust my body as the perfect messenger. Love that!

Oh, and I did my Day 3 Wall Squat for 54sec., and my plank for 60sec.
I’m doing these exercises first thing in the morning so I don’t forget, and it is such an invigorating way to get going! Thanks again to Pete!

Just finished listening to another inspiring wish summit call, Tera.s team helped me get the links i missed with first days technical glitz. So glad I got them and didnt miss anything. Even if I have heard a couple of the speakers before Tera is pulling out new ideas and concepts. Very refreshing, inspiring and motivational summit so far. Love how theme seems to be, to me, to customize, listen to ourselves, use what we hear and go within to take what’s right for us as individuals.

Day 2
Dr. Belisa brought another layer of understanding to the diaphragmatic breathing techniques my music professors taught me in college. Perhaps I used to enjoy the slow long-tone exercises because my body was reveling in the infusion of extra oxygen. Deep breaths are invigorating. Thank you!

Teja – self awareness & defence – wow that was straight forward ‘no avoiding the issues’ kinda presentation. much to think about and commit to take action – something i want to find more support on & share with my 2 daughters in their 20′s – not a skill/knowledge that should wait until there is an incident….thanks for pointing out how important this is.

I love being able to check in on the blog as opposed to the FB page which seems a little to public. Alice Bracegirdle was a lovely call and fit for me as I have been into Nia for the past 18 years or so.

This WISH event is getting more and more interesting
Teja’s call is so good…here in Italy we are experiencing what the media call “femminicidio” (=killing women)..I don’t agree with the word, this is not femminicidio, this is murder. Period.
So calls like this are so useful for us, to be strong against any attack.
Thanks for pointing out how important this is for us.
Hoping that all horrible assaults, attacks and violence will have an end, this is one of my WISHes

I felt sick to my stomach just reading your email about this call. As a woman who, many years later, is once again smack-dab in the middle of trying to heal the damages of a violent sexual assault in my teen years, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to listen to this call today. And if the stats are correct (1 in 3), I’m not the only one in this group. My bodily reaction is saying that it would be too much for me right now, so I’m going to save this one for another day when I can handle it better. Having said that, though, I’m so glad you’re tackling this issue, which has waaaaaaay too much silence around it (and a great deal of fear and shame) simply because, as you so aptly put, it is so uncomfortable and so horrifying to think about. Thanks for your courage, ladies.
[Reply]
By Beth on Mar 13, 2013
That was not an easy call to listen to. I thoroughly appreciate Teja sharing her wisdom about such an intensely uncomfortable but very real topic. I found myself vascilating between really getting it, and really resisting it. I felt like I really got Teja when she said that she’s a lover, not a figher ~ but that she CHOSE love by way of BEING a fighter. But then there’s a part of me that feels like I don’t want to have to feel on guard/ not trusting all the time. I know this can happen anywhere, but I feel like I trust my intuition as to when I need to heighten my awareness. I truly feel conflicted. I know how important it is, and yet it feels so far removed from my world, personally. Thank you for bringing this to us Tera, I have a lot to think about.

Wow!!!! I must say I am very surprised at how quick I’m getting results with the fitness challenge. I’ve improved my times in all three exercises since day 1 (and DOUBLED my push up and sit up times!!!!) and I’m starting to see more definition to my tummy!!!!!!
I’m still breathing deeply, moving more gracefully, taking time to stand still and doing the daily exercises. I have decided to take a specific action to change my life with every single call in this 40 day summit, in order to really live the idea that ‘It’s not just what you know, it’s how you live it’. What I’m trying to figure out is, what action will I take after today’s call with Teja???? I think at this time the best action to take will be to listen to it again once I’ve digested the materials. I’ve been shaken, to say the least, as I imagined the scenarios discussed in the interview!

After Teja’s call, I realize I need to be more informed, and need to get the Devi Dvd program for women.
I am so much more aware of my breath … I find myself constantly checking to see if my ears are above my shoulders, putting my head back more.
I am improving on the wall and plank exercises, but not achieving at all yet the bar one. I will keep at it. These interviews have been so meaningful to me. Thank you, Tera.

40 days of the WISH Summit
I received a notification one day about this Wish Summit and boy did it come at the perect time! I was going through emails, planning for meetings and searching for answers on the web about how I can be a better me. I know. As if Google could answer that for me. So thanks for this much needed and appreciated summit!
Tom commented on just sitting in stillness even if it wasn’t with his program. I realized I use the excuse of time constantly when in reality even a few minutes at a time is better than nothing. I’m not good with stillness and I know I need to find out why.
[Reply]
By Gina on Mar 14, 2013
Tera and Tejas call was an eye opener and brought home that self defense hinges on self awareness, taking care of oneself, being present, how important it is not only for a major assault, or interaction, but in everyday interactions listening to your gut and trusting it, having a plan. I thought Tera’s story about being in the cafe and the comment about how we have the right to not receive a communication, to not have our space interfered with. That she didn’t care what the other person thought or wanted, she chose to trust her instincts and leave. I have found myself, especially when i was younger, often I was more worried about protecting someone elses ego,,not wanting to offen them, then protecting myself.

40 days of the WISH Summit
Michelle Philips is awesome! Although not everything resonated with me, there were some key points that hit major nerves! My truth and authentic self is being stiffled by excuses. I need to do ad stop thinking!
I am taking quite a bit with me as well for my step-daughter to enjoy because she is such a special person. She struggles with self esteem so I think she’ll enjoy Michelle’s talks and book.
My husband is struggling with the what if’s, second guessing, excuses and triggers so I know this iinfo will help him as well. He’ll dig the idea of writing the opposite down. Way cool. Thanks!

Ok, got 2 calls and 2 comments in one day going here, but I have to share again how much I loved the call with Michelle Phillips – how I would love to hang in a room with both of you! So much happiness and love in clear in your voices! Tera, I also enjoyed hearing more about you! I’m new to you and WISH, thanks to a last minute email from SARK that caught my eye… I’m so glad I found this, but until tonight was a little overwhelmed by all of the information. NOW I can’t wait to dive into what YOU are all about! If I can find just a little of that happiness and love, I’d be in heaven… Looking forward to tomorrow!

still trying to process teja’s call…since moving from the big cities, to very rural small towns in NW, Montana, where people leave cars running while in the PO, don’t lock doors, kids ride their bikes and play in the yards freely…i don’t even think about defensive living. it’s really freeing, but that does change with travel at times. perhaps i need to be more aware of unknown possibilities wherever. much to ponder….

Michelle Phillips’ call was heartfelt and in sync with the pace of my life. I started seeing a counsellor in January, and the importance of knowing ‘who we are’ vs our roles and labels is at the core of all of my issues.
Michelle is inspiring! Her personal story (and the fact that she emphasizes that her own life is not free of conflict or challenge)was a fabulous reminder that we must mine the nuggets of our value and the good within, instead of the things we are constantly ‘working’ on. I am definitely going to reward and love myself by writing down at least 20 things that are wonderful about me!! (and 5 kids?! that is a testament to the sacred job of motherhood. What our children witness at home is far more impactful than the all consuming illusion of the media. Thank you Michelle & Tera!

I am feeling like a pretty spring blossom after listening to Michelle Phillips’ interview today!!! My action for the day, now that I’ve identified 20 beautiful things about me, will be to put a few post it notes here and there in the home to remind myself of WHO I AM!!!!
I did the fitness challenge again today, wow it’s already day 6!!! I am becoming stronger and am so proud of myself, still when I read other people’s numbers I’m amazed at how much more work I need to do to be at a decent level of fitness. Of course, I know, only compare myself with my prior self. It is the work of a lifetime to stop comparing myself with others and instead see where I am compared to where I’ve been.
I want soooo deeply to make a difference in the world, to make it a better place for my daughter, my partner, my whole community and the whole universe and this is why I am happy to be involved in these 40 days. When I come out of it as a better person, I’ll already have made a difference in the world on a small scale!!!!!! Thank you Tera and team for putting together so much amazement and opportunities for growth!!!! xxxxxxxx

Hi Tera! I didn’t know about this generous opportunity of going to Mexico to meet you and your community by blogging my thoughts on each interview until I heard it on your interview with Teja Van Wicklen so I hope it’s not too late to participate. I’ve been listening to all the calls and I really enjoyed Tom Cronin with the Stillness Movement. I signed up on his website to be on his email list. I also enjoyed Dr. Belisa Vranich with her simple approach to breathing. I look forward to you inviting her back because she is so knowledgeable and has so much information to share. Alice Bracegirdle is inspiring. Love her commitment to changing women’s perspective about fitness and appreciation for our bodies. Teja Van Wicklen’s interview was just so uplifting. Loved hearing about her story and how she made a choice to get out of a dysfunctional marriage when she realized that the arguments with her spouse was having a negative impact on her son. I’m so glad that she has a coaching workshop coming up. I’m definitely going to be part of that event. And this morning I listened to the interview with Michelle Phillips. I get the whole self-defense thing for women and women with children, however as informative as it was in creating an awareness I choose to believe that we create our reality and that we draw into our lives who we are and what we vibrate. Self-defense is fear-based because it leads you to believe consciously and subconsciously that you need protection, you can’t trust others and that someone is out to get you. I choose to live in a world that’s expansive and generous so I can draw more of that energy into my everyday life. Looking forward to the next interview!

I thoroughly enjoyed this “spiritual tennis match” between you and Michelle ~ what a beautiful dynamic! I could have listened for hours more! This call reminds of a quote I’ve heard that says something like “life begins at the edge of our comfort zone.” So true! I’m thrilled to have even more tools for emobdying the most beautiful, authentic and fabulous version of myself. I can see my comfort zone expanding already!

What a very gentle call with Michelle Phillips. What really stayed with me was writing down all the “what ifs” and excuses and then writing out the opposite of those. Such a simple idea, but I bet it’ll really work to help reprogram the negative thoughts and voices in our heads that keep us from living our dream life. And also, “my circumstances are not who I am, they’re temporary”. Beautiful

It was so nice to hear Tera and Michelle both reminding us that beauty is on the inside, it comes from within. Especially the comments about how we describe our friends and dont usually mention their weight or looks as being their most important quality!I see so many women trying to fix the outside, eating better only to loose weight or look good, not to be healthier or feel better, wanting a quick fix and it never being enough. I love dressing up and feeling good about myself on the outside too but, as Michelle and Tera brought home, it’s not enough, it wont fulfill us, if we aren’t happy and taking care of the beauty of our self, our self expression, on the inside too.
[Reply]
By susanna on Mar 15, 2013
The calls of Dr.Belisa and Michelle Phillips are so good!
…so it’s really a matter of looking inside us and discovering the beauty which is always there!
I started writing the 20 things I like about myself and I discovered that they are actually more than 20
It’s a very powerful exercise and I’ll remember that, when I am in one of those ugly moments where I keep repeating myself “I’m not enough” “I don’t do well”…
Now I’m in front of my kitchen’s window and I think that life is beautiful and I wish all women happiness and joy!

Tera thank you for asking our ‘questions’ for us and Belisa thank you for presenting such step by step actions that can lead each of us to our understanding/knowing ourselves as best we can. Simple as that.

By Veronique Larose on Mar 15, 2013
Yay!!!! I just listened to the second interview with Dr. Belisa and I feel so empowered to take control over my nether muscles!!!!!!! Since giving birth a little over a year ago, I felt a little ‘loose’ there and never realized it could lead to serious consequences when I get older.
I’ve also had surgery for cervical cancer about 6 months ago and they ‘forgot’ to remove my intra uterine contraceptive device so I’ll have to undergo another surgery just to remove that damn thing because it is now completely stuck in there (they actually want to remove my whole uterus just in case but I’m refusing that kind of ‘preventative treatment’) so there are many reasons I want to avoid this whole region of my body.
I now feel more positive about my body and ready to take action that will have a positive outcome as I will remain strong no matter what.
I’ve also done the fitness challenge, it’s now been 7 days straight and I’m now at the 81 second mark for wall sits, and 35 seconds for both plank push ups and sit ups! This is going really well!!!!!!

I have to say, being part of the 40 day feedback challenge is almost as rewarding to me as the calls themselves! It feels so much like a living, breathing (thanks Dr. Belisa!) community of WISH-ful women!
The second call with DR. Belisa was amazing. I had never considered the pelvic floor as the seat of my essence or intuition. What a powerful physical way to make the body mind spirit connection! Wow. I am going to listen to this call again, as there was so much to pass on to the other women in my life: I understood the importance of tightening my pelvic floor, but I had never heard anything about the importance of stretching it! Thank you for your honesty, and your curiosity to go beyond kegels!

Thank you for having a second session with Dr. Belisa. I learned so much that I needed to learn about the foundation of my body … I appreciate it now more than ever.

Talk about being turned on to life! Phew! What an electric call with Allana. I had the pleasure of meeting Allana at an intimate gathering of women at a conference in LA a few years back, and remembering being in awe of her. Honestly, I remember thinking “well if I looked like her, I could be confident, sexy and delicious like that too!” And I knew that I had a lot of work to do. Because I CAN be that. I AM that. In fact, I have had many times in my life where I am fully in my power and orgasmically alive, but this isn’t something I experience with consistency. I get that it starts with a decision and a conscious choice…everything does. I just seem to forget that I can make that choice when I am caught up in my self-doubt! Luckily I have a husband who thinks I am a goddess, cellulite and all! And I do notice that when I am in my power, he is even more turned on, so why would I not choose that all the time?! hmmmm. Such important work to continue to bring awareness to. Thank you!

I was first introduced to the lovely Allana on the WISH Summit in 2011. Every time I hear her sensuous, effervescent voice I open more to the goddess within myself! She is unique, and fearless, and delightful. Hearing Allana discuss sensual living and how absolutely magical it can be made me giggle and wriggle! We can be so disconnected from our juicy, sexy nature for a myriad of reasons. I can’t wait to pop over to Allana’s website to catch up with her! (Wall sits, 123 seconds!, plank, 64 seconds)

Wow, I am thrilled because of Allana’s call!
I love the idea of loving both the light AND the dark side of myself, I love the idea of adoring myself, so in return I can be adored
I live in Italy and last night I went to the concert of Mumford and Sons, in Florence and I had what I can describe as an “adoring” experience, not only about me but also about all the people there, dancing and singing….that was very orgasmic!!!
This morning, listening to the call, I had this a-ha moment about space, energy, glow and beauty
And thanks to Pete’s exercise (the wall exercise) I had been able to dance and enjoy all the concert because my legs and my stamina were stronger than ever!

Hi Tera,
Listened to Allana Pratt’s interview and found it to be interesting. Enjoyed Allana’s transparency. I was a bit taken back when she kept using the word orgasmic but when you interjected with a definition that is more about receiving pleasure not just a climax I was able to let my guard down and be more receptive to her message. Thank you!

By laurie on Mar 16, 2013
WOW Allana packs a punch with her talk. It focused for me that we are all able to realize that we can find our selves & really connect to the enjoyment & being blessed by everything around us [other humans, nature and cosmos]It simply begins with our ‘being self-blessed’ and not being afraid to trust our self-love as that is what is our gift that we can freely choose to share with others. Allana’s enthusiasm for lifes’ loves was happily overwelming.

When I was younger, I developped breasts before most other girls and was teased sooo much by boys, then in junior high I would often have guys grab them in the crowded corridors and I hated it, not to mention the fact that I couldn’t tell who it was because it was so packed with people. Some hurtful comments received from a silly 15 year old boy about my breasts have made me feel ugly for over 15 years because I accepted them as true!!!!!
After this call, I have decided to allow myself to be who I am and to love my body totally and completely. I am letting go of what no longer serves me and instead fill myself with appreciation, love and care!
I’m now going to do a little fitness blitz to energize my evening. Talk about self care!!

My God, that meadow expansion ritual was out of this world (literally)! The tears were just flowing here! I’ll be going back to this call often. And, yes, our sexuality is nothing short of divine!!! Thanks Allana. You’re awesome and so incredible for sharing such intimate details with us!

Pamela’s call gave me a very personal mirror: the concept of getting in touch with our arousal as a practice, to know what it feels like to BE in arousal, and not just on our way to orgasm. For me, this paralells getting in touch with physical hunger! I am learning what hunger feels like in my body again, I am reconnecting with the ways in which I can receive food in my body, and not just eat mindlessly. Arousal is a state, and so is hunger. Finding them and enjoying them without trying to ‘fix’ them as fast as I can is a process. Thanks to Pamela and Tera for exploring the process of arousal.

Pamela Madsen’s interview reminded me to enjoy pleasure in the little things in life. And I loved your analogy of setting goals in the form of a soccer game. It’s true that the enjoyment of any sport is the struggle of obtaining the goal to score points. If each team achieved the goal of scoring with easy and flow then the game would not be as enjoyable. Thank you for that simple yet profound awareness.

The Pamela Madsen’s interview presented very interesting insights & inscapes – she points out that each of us do not have to travel far to connect with pure joy & we need to find it often..it is really like a switch in each of us we just need to turn on – even as Tera says ‘the tasting of fruit while in the check out line’…..live every inch of life with a commitment to find joy and it will just keep coming. enjoy the joy

How can I stop playing and having fun, after the call of today?
it’s not a matter of itch, or a simple “orgasm”..it’s more than this: it’s the ignition of an very powerful energy!
The same energy that makes possible the creation of life (very powerful indeed)…I dare to say that with this energy I can give life to a project, to a dream and to a wonderul relationship as well
Thank you so much!

Red Hot Mama Unleashed! What an empowering call with Pamela. I have been lucky enough to be part of some very conscious circles of people in regards to sexuality and pleasure, but the idea that our relationship with our lady bits was integral to our success in all areas of our life has my head spinning! And while it definitely pushed some edges of mine, the thought of starting the day with the lotus meditation to fuel our creativity and energy makes so much sense! I am so in love with this summit, thank you Tera.

Yay!!!! Loved the call with Pam Madsen!!!!! I have allowed the pleasure back in netherland. What’s a woman to do with a fertility expert when she can no longer bear life… Well in this call I realized that creating life is much wider than the idea of carry a child within my womb. I am bringing back fertility into all areas of my life.
Today I did my 9th fitness blitz and yay yay yay I did 91 seconds on wall sit!!! Tomorrow I’m starting the cross-legged wall sit. I did 39 seconds in plank push ups and 40 in sit ups, I’m doing AWESOME and I’m sooooo proud of myself!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m soooo proud of every woman that is part of this summit too. We’re elevating ourselves so that we can benefit the world around us and it’s going to be a worldwide revolution in no time!!!!!!!

thank you so much tera for such real and vital information through such lovely speakers.

Alexandra Pope is a beautiful human. From the onset of menstrual cycle I have always resisted the ebb and flow of my body, and my spiritual energy. It has resulted in Endometriosis, ovarian cysts, and a host of emotional and physical conflicts.
It is only now, in my thirties, that I am learning to be gentle with myself and learning the natural rhythms of my beautiful body. I don’t want to fight or resist anymore.
Alexandra’s description of the seasons of our cycle is one that I am going to listen to again and again!!!
As a mother with an 8 year old daughter, this information is invaluable. I feel so empowered to explain this amazing transition to my daughter when the time comes.

By Beth on Mar 18, 2013
Alexandra Pope is an amazingly beautiful woman. What an inspiring call for women everywhere to honor the truth of our bodies and to celebrate all the powers that come with awareness and acceptance! I learned SO much about the power of the cycle, and the ways I’ve ignored the feedback and caused myself so much unnecessary suffering. Wow! I wish I could have heard this call as a 13 year old girl! This knowledge is so powerful and transformative. I have spent time charting (lots of time) for fertility, so honestly kind of dread it, but feel like I owe it to myself to bring awareness to my cycle. My 5 year old already calls me the queen of the world, so I suppose I should step fully in to that role!

My God, what to say about Alexandra Pope’s call? It was so amazing, informative and empowering! I wish I had had her to explain things to me when I was coming into my menarche. My introduction to my menstruating years was surrounded by shame and silence. It wasn’t until my early 40′s that I actually had a regular mentrual cycle and I have to wonder if all those years of irregularity weren’t somehow related to all that shame and silence and then also to my sexual assault in my teen years. Most likely it was. It would be interesting to know if anyone (maybe Alexandra) has done any studies on this. I’m so thrilled for young girls now who will have such a different experience of their bodies and cycles and be able to go into these years in a celebratory spirit and feeling excited and empowered. I just had one thought, though, as she was talking about the four seasons of our cycles and living our lives in accordance with them: How could we possibly respect the phases of our cycle in the male-dominated business/work world where business meetings and project schedules are not scheduled around our cycles? At the moment, I can control things in my personal life, i.e.: I won’t ever schedule a dental appointment between ovulation and my period because I know that my pain threshold is much lower during this time, but when it comes to business and work, I have yet to be able to have much control. Anyways, just a thought I wanted to put out there. Thanks for this great call. It’s planting some wonderful seeds for creating a very different world. As she said, start within yourself first and change how you connect to and perceive your menses, set your intention and give yourself permission, and don’t move outward until your own inner changes are solid within you! Changing the world one seed and one woman at a time

I find the commitment of listening every single day very empowering, even if every call is not speaking to me. Alexandra Pope’s interview was interesting though I am on the edge of menopause and developing a different relationship with these last months (or perhaps a few years) of my cycling. I will admit – I am looking forward to being on the other side.

I am speechless after listening to Alexandra Pope and Tera tonight. I am so sooooo soooooooo infinitely grateful to be able to gain knowledge in advance to help my daughter with her own evolution later on (she’s still a toddler…). What I would love is to get that book that Mika loves and I didn’t catch the title or author name. If anyone is reading this and knows which book it is, thank you so much for replying
Today I did my 10th fitness blitz and I started doing one-legged wall sits!!!!! With that move twitch I could last a respectable 68 seconds (I had done 91 seconds yesterday with the regular wall sits so figured it was time to take it to the next level). Plank push up: 40 seconds and sit ups for 43 seconds which is GREAT since I did 16 seconds for each of these moves on day 1!

Amber Krzys is amazing! Just the way she tells her story is phenomenal. I love the way she wants us to love our bodies in the size they want to be – because I think most of us KNOW that size!!!! I didn’t take notes, I just listened – it went so fast!
I also plan to share this with my 15-yr-old – she might be weirded-out by touching and saying thanks, BUT it will lead her on a right path to ‘enoughness’…. and if she won’t have the conversations with me, her mum, maybe she’ll listen to one such as Amber – so dynamic, so enthusiastic, so true! Thanks!

I DID NOT GET THE CALL OF ALEXANDRA POPE; I told Tera’s customer service already, so I will post my comment on it as soon as I get the link for the call.
As for Amber’s call, I totally agree with her when she affirms that We HAVE A CHOICE; for the first time in the history of women we have all the tools and the knowledge about how to live a fulfilling life, without being imprisoned inside the concept of the perfect body.
This statement made me thinking about another statement made by an italian journalist (a woman, Benedetta Barzini) who once said “the size 40 is the burka of western women” (italian size 40 is the 6 in the USA).
We need to embrace who we are, exactly where we are and this is what I got from the call, and this is what I will do from now on.
I accept myself as I am.

Ah. The mental scoreboard that Amber refers to is in my mental trash can! I spent 20 years in excruciating pain about my body. Thousands of minutes spent in self hatred and self loathing.
It is my dirty little secret. It is what keeps me from living fully in my life, and loving others.
Amber’s call is a reminder to me of how far I have come when it comes to self-acceptance and body image in the past few months. It is a process of healing the mind, not reshaping the body. It is not about the food, the shape of my thighs, or the scale; it is about my feelings and what I am numbing myself to with all this preoccupation with weight and food.
I realized yesterday that I can trust myself to make good decisions: I can use my gut to decide the foods and activities that are right for me. I don’t need a fad diet or a fitness craze to dictate my health and wellness to me.
Thank you Amber.
You are a beautiful human!

We’re only 1/4 through this summit, and I a notebook full of empowering tools to unleash the very best version of myself ever! I decided to make a master list of the key idea from each person that I resonate with so I can revisit and really dive in as time allows. Amber and BodyHeart really spoke to me, unfortunately too loudly and too clearly. I have spent way to much time not being present because of my diseased mind. It really resonated with me when Amber spoke of our choice to change our body out of punishment, or to choose to love our body and allow it to naturally change, IF needed. I have just begun your 21 day detox, and am really focused on CHOOSING LOVE. And Choosing my Enoughness. There’s a whole lot of power in those words!

If all women had a ense of enoughness, it would be so easy to shine our light. I really liked the practices she gave us for making peace with and falling in love with our bodies, especially the one about placing our hand on the body parts we don’t like and saying “I’m sorry”, “Thank you” and “I love you.” It reminds me of the ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation called ho-o-pono-pono, where you say “I’m sorry”, “Please forgive me”, “Thank you” and “I love you” to yourself or others (either out loud or to yourself). They are incredibly healing words. More here if anyone is interested: http://www.thereisaway.org/Ho'oponopono_cleaning_meditation.htm

Maybe I managed on FB? I did listen and sent the feedback… But it’s all good! Tera, I started into this to see if I could sort out where my life was headed in a career sort of way – to continue to stay at home or go back to work (yes, I have the luxury to choose!). I was offered an opportuntity to go back just last Friday and didn’t hesitate and said YES! I started yesterday (hence my forgetfullness) and it has been the most fabulous experience! It’s a place I was at for a while last fall, so the welcome I received was so warm and confirmed what I knew when I said YES!

Still hoping to be the One to Mexico, even I post two days in one (and please forgive me for my english!)…
I didn’t get Alexandra’s call yesterday, I got it five minutes ago, with the call of Dr Gayle Sulik, and those words are what matters, in Mexico and all over the world, for us women
Two incredible calls at the same time, talinkg about two items so important for us…
I don’t have children and I’m in menopause (I’m 49) after years of pain and suffering; I have two wonderful nieces, which are the future of my family and it will be wonderful to share with them all the knowledge I got from the call, especially the acceptance and the awareness part
As for Dr Gayle Sulik (day 11), we are talking of awareness again here!
We need to be aware of all the organizations that “use” the Pink Ribbon as a way to get more money; I appreciated the suggestion of the “red flag”, being aware of the use those people do of the money we generously donate for this huge tragedy, and I welcome Dr.Sulik for the work she’s doing here.
We are not “pretty” survivors! Tera, I liked very much the image of “being chocked by dozens of pretty pink ribbons”…Come on, don’t we deserve more than that?
This call is not easy for me to hear and to digest.

I’m blubbering again! The call with Dr. Gayle Sulik goes so deep and challenges so much about pink ribbon culture, and yet it was very balanced too. Thank you, beautiful ladies, for opening our eyes. I especially liked the practical tips you gave at the end for what we can do. I participated in a run for the cure years ago when my friend was battling breast cancer (she has since lost her battle, God rest her soul), and after that run, I began to question where I wanted to put my money. It became so clear to me that, while research and treatment is important, I preferred to put my money into the prevention part of it. I would rather that no one even got cancer in the first place. Thank you for confirming this for me in this call. Haley is my kinda gal. She knew where it was at with her peach ribbon campaign.

For me, there were some problems with yesterday’s download & so i have moved onto Gayle’s heartfelt truth and compasionate review of the pink ribbon story. Most likely each of us have been sadly touched in some personal way by breat cancer – Gayle points out that at many levels very close to home – we can each find a way to make a real ‘heartfelt’ difference without getting lost in or taken in by the corporate take over of $$ profiteering from the trials of others. Tera pointed out that committing to ‘choosing health’ in a wholistic way also is within each of us as an empowerment that has a huge impact on any life changing illness that we may yet to face or ultimately by our healthy choices actually prevent….this information is an incredibly powerful tool & these lessons are not soon to be forgotten

By Beth on Mar 20, 2013
The call with Gayle really hit home for me. My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago, and after surgery, chemo, radiation, was in remission for the past several years. But it came back a few months ago…Stage IV metasticized breast cancer. I know what this means. My mama is my best friend in the world, and my heart is breaking in a million pieces. This time she is working with one of the top naturopathic oncologists in the world, and has been working hard to change her diet (she’s doing a modified version of the 21 day green smoothie detox with me right now), and I know all of that will help her feel great and live as long as she possibly can. But wow do I wish she hadn’t spent her life ignoring her health and eating such crap!
Anyhow, the thing she hates the most, is something most people don’t know about. Doctors aren’t communicating…and there is so much ugly politics and ego involved that there could likely be a cure if not already, at least much sooner, if they could work together. It’s appaling, because you know every single one of them must be touched by breast cancer in some way with the stats as they are….ugh. I am so happy to be introduced to Gayle, and am definitely going to find ways to get more involved. I never knew this story of the pink ribbon, but have always felt the commericialism and steered away from it. What a heartbreaking reality.

Gayle Sulik call: I have a friend with stage 4 breast cancer who was the first one to reference, with anger, pinkwashing. I honestly didn’t understand what she was referring to or why she found the pink ribbons so offensive. I had completed a 60-mile walk to raise funds through AVON in 2002 and a 26.2 event a few years later. I have mixed feelings about what seemed like ‘pink ribbons’ being all bad.
I do-however, agree that we need more focus and energy and marketing and dollars spent on PREVENTION.Just today I read that Johns Hopkins finally came out with a statement about prevention and while long overdue, a step in the right direction.

Dr Gayle’s call was bold and informative. I have always held little regard for the marketing done by so many large companies under the guise of supporting ‘breast cancer awareness’.

I used to feel obligated to give to pink ribbon cause events (jeans friday at the office, walk/run sponsorships…) and I hated it because it had always been obvious to me that the cancer industry (yep that’s a whole industry in and of itself) feeds on the generosity of a malinformed, cancer-fearful population. Even until recently, I would make an effort to just shut up and not voice my opinions about the crap they try to feed our minds with. They don’t want to find a CURE, they want to find TREATMENTS. Two completely different things. I am so happy that we’re hearing speeches about this topic and that there are more and more non-believers in that pink ribbon propaganda doing their ‘coming out’ lately. Thank you Dr. Gayle and I am really looking forward to what Nadine has to say too.
Today I did my 12th round of exercises and did 80 seconds wall sit (including 20 secs one-legged on each side), 45 seconds push ups and 49 seconds sit ups. So I tripled my push up and sit up times since day 1!!!

Day 12: first of all I’d love to say hello to all the women here in this lovely group of WISHers!
and I’m so excited to hear the call…
After 1 hour: Wow that is impressive!
I wish I could have known all this years ago….
The idea of all those deadly, drug daily “offered” to us, and they link so good with our whole system, is really bothering me: bras, drugs, mercury, home renovating, hormone replacement therapy, estrogen, plastic, and God know what else.
She talks about the breasts, and I couldn’t help but asking myself if this applies also to other kind of tumors. My story is so related to this; I need to listen to the call more than once, for me and for my friends.
I think is about time for me to stand up for my health.
This Summit is getting more and more “deep”, touching very tender spots inside us, or at least inside me

It’s -34 degrees celsius in Winnipeg, Canada, so Mexico sounds better than ever!
For now, I will sit back with a cup of tea, and digest Nadine’s call.
It is so important, and heartwrenching to listen to the state of our health. But denying this and our bodies (via chemicals and hormones) won’t heal women.
I appreciate the statement that Nadine made about science and statistics: it is important that we look at the numbers. The science and the statistics are jarring…I am not ashamed to admit that I have been operating from a place of ignorance.
Thank you, Nadine, for opening our eyes to the reality of breast health. I won’t close mine again.

Nadine Artemis is such an amazing powerhouse of scientific and medical information that I had trouble keeping up with my note-taking. She’s great! I felt overwhelmed in the first half of the call wondering how I could possibly avoid all the toxins our bodies are bathing in every day, and was then thrilled with the four solutions provided at the end. Thank you for that. I read Dressed to Kill years ago and now wear a bra as little as possible, look for red marks when I do, keep my bra-wearing under that magical number of 8 hours, etc. Luckily, I work from home, so this is an easy option for me. I think what might prevent women from following that piece of advice, though, is that it’s not socially acceptable in Western culture to sport a natural bustline. How can big-breasted women go braless if they are uncomfortable doing so in public? I think it would have been good if that issue had been addressed in the call. I took a breast care workshop years ago where I learned about breast massage to help increase lymphatic drainage and they also talked about doing circular massage around each breast, 15 times in one direction, 15 times around in the other direction, and then massaging out fom the nipple in all directions. It feels really nice physically and also psychologically because I know I’m caring for my breasts. I’m going to be putting my pits in the sunshine now. What a fabulous interview. So grateful to you both!

The link to Nadine’s talk totally is working…..so awesome to take in all that incredible data and details – she covered alot of critical info just in that call – each of our daily choices based on researched information are powerful tools to keep our breasts along with the rest of us healthy. thankyou

I am absolutely blown away by the depth of wisdom and knowledge Nadine Artemis shared with us. As I mentioned yesterday, with a mom with Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer, this inofrmation is near and dear to my heart. While I don’t think I’m ready to give up my bra (I used to never wear one, but post-nursing 2 babies I just can’t fathom not wearing one!), I feel very empowered knowing that I can begin taking Iodine, doing breast massage and dry brushing right away. Did she reference a good brand of Iodine? As for anti-persperant, I know how horrible it is, and have tried every brand of natural deodarant out there to no avail. I live in Austin, and it gets insanely hot, and I sweat a lot! I haven’t figured out how to deal with this one yet. I’m up for trying her sandalwood concoction, but know the sweating will still be an issue. I’m so blown away by everything I just learned, this is such an incredibly important conversation to be having. Thank you!

Hi Beth! I live up north in Québec, Canada so other than for a few weeks in the summer we can’t qualify this place as scorching hot
However I thought I’d share that I’ve been using a block of polished himalayan salt as an anti-perspirant. There are no ingredients other than just a solid salt rock and I’ve been using this exclusively for over 3 years now and I looove it! Perhaps you haven’t tried this one just yet. Best of luck

Reply by Lidia on March 22nd, 2013
I agree. I’ve been using salt crystal deodorants (not the pink one) for years and it works well. Most of the time, I can get away with just the crystal but on really hot days, I use the crystal and then follow up with a drop of a nice pure essential oil. Sandalwood, sage, anything herbaceous whose smell you like. There are many brands out there but here’s a link to one in case you don’t know what we’re talking about: http://www.thecrystal.com/product_information.cfm

Thanks so much Veronique and Lidia ~ I will definitley give it a try!
By Veronique Larose on Mar 21, 2013
I think the call with Nadine was beyond awesome. I can tell she is loving, caring and eager to empower us women and I love her for that. She brought tears to my eyes and determination to my heart. We HAVE to do something to help save our breasts and not wait for pink ribbons to make us well!!!!!!
I couldn’t agree more with Lidia and Beth that there’s something to be said about larger-breasted women and going bra-free. I would love to know how to go about this. I’ve been starting to do this at home just today. Seems like they need a good workout. I love how it was pointed out that keeping them in a brace (hence brassiere) all day just makes them weak and saggy over time.
Today I did 83 seconds of wall sit, 47 seconds of plank push ups and 50 seconds sit ups. I feel so proud that I increase my numbers in at least one exercise every single day!!!

Reply by Lidia on March 22nd, 2013
Aah, Véronique, you should be proud. I gave up on the Pete Cerqua exercises a few days after starting them. I’m just not in that headspace right now, unfortunately. As for going braless, starting at home is perfect and then see how you feel. I usually wear a sports bra in public, which doesn’t cut into the skin so much and then a regular bra if I’m dressing up and going out. In Dressed to Kill, they said your chances of getting breast cancer go down dramatically if you wear your bra for less than 12 hours a day. There’s an interesting synopsis of the book on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dressed_to_Kill_(book). Unfortunately, many breast cancer institutes dismissed the findings in this book (which were done scientifically), which I still cannot understand. They make a hell of a lot of sense to me.

Oh Lidia any day is a good day to start!!! I have found that it is hardest to get started (for me at least) and once I’m moving, it’s quite easy to keep going. As for breast cancer institutes… There’s too much money to be earned by companies that sell bras so I don’t think any cancer ‘awareness’ organization would dare get in their way.

Thank you so much for giving us a catch all catch up email! I listened to Tom Cronin and Nadine Artemis’ calls again, and I allowed my intuition to guide me in sharing facts and information from Nadine’s call with family and friends. It even sparked a conversation with the most makeup savvy woman I know: I really feel that this information will shape our health and beauty regimes far beyond pretty pink lip gloss. It may even be a potential career path for my cosmetics conscious friend. I am going to listen to Gayle and Nadine’s calls again, as I think the information is so quotable.

I feel soooooo strong!!! Today I didn’t listen to a call, sometimes life gets really busy and I feel happy about what I’ve accomplished and I’ve let go completely of the need to feel guilty because there are still a few items on my to-do list.
I love the energy here and I am so happy to come and post about my daily exercise because doing the exercises for 40 days in a row will be the prize in and of itself, regardless of whether I were a lucky duck on a luscious Mexican land with awesomelicious girlfriends!
So, today I’ve done my 14th exercise session in 14 days!!!! 86 seconds wall sit including 30 seconds one legged, 50(!!!!!) seconds plank push ups and 53(!!!!!!!!!!yeah!) seconds sit up. Let’s keep going girls!!!!!!!

I’m going to be honest; as a Mom, when I hear the truth of our toxic environment, and the gender bending chemicals sneaking into our lives in every way; I feel overwhelmed and completely disconnected. I don’t even want to try….Even when we are doing things we think are natural, or organic, or safe, there is always so much more to learn. ARGH!
Thankfully, Health Canada has addressed the issue of BPA in plastics…but unfortunately that is the tip of the iceberg.
So, I listened to Beth’s call, and I am going to ask my inner grandmother what ‘simplify’ means to me. ( i am also going to cut myself some slack

The call with Beth Greer was a perfect follow-up to Nadine’s call. Years ago, with the help of an energy kinisiologist, I made many similar changes to my diet and home environment in order to recover from a year-long bout with labyrinthitis. It was daunting at first but if you make one change at a time, it’s quite doable. Thanks for all the tips I didn’t know about, Beth. I’ll be sure to implement some of them. And I’d like to add that I know it takes ovaries of steel to go against medical advice and opt for a natural, lifestyle approach to illness rather than surgery or drugs.

I appreciated having the “intermission” to catch up and ‘re-listen to some calls. I listened to both Nadine and Beth’s calls and feel a little freaked out. I did go online and found some sites selling organic bras without underwires and plan to start there. I am curious about iodine but a little afraid and am interested in doing some research to follow up.

Aaah, simplify. Feels like the eternal quest! I feel pretty good about my environment at home, but know I have a long way to go. I’ve always wished I had the money for organic mattresses (my babies do get to sleep on one until they move to a big bed
, so I loved the idea of an organic wool mattress topper. That feels doable, and empowering! I do buy seventh gen. dryer sheets, are those bad too? If so, did Beth mention an alternative that is safe? I’m not sure I could deal with static-y clothes! One thing I want to focus on is incorporating more essential oils into my life. That seems to be a common thread among many different speakers for many different things! Great call with Beth Greer, thank you!

I am now officially behind in listening to calls and I am so grateful that they will still be available to listen when things settle down around here!!! At least I am proud of still being in the run for my 40 days of fitness challenge. Today I did 90 seconds wall sit including 15 seconds on each side. Also 52 seconds plank push ups and 55 seconds sit ups! What I absolutely love is the fact that this is getting me into the habit and routine of doing my exercise and when you look at it, there’s no way I can’t afford to spend 197 seconds again tomorrow! These 3 exercises together will not account to 5 minutes total with this body anytime soon so it would feel silly to skip them unless I’m totally feverish or something!

So this is the 3rd time today i have attempted to comment on the call via the website and also on Tera’s info about her next phase of WISH and this has not happened before but the e-system says that the internet site is off/corrupt or off line and to contact the administrator. I do not use FB and so i am at a loss and what else to do in order to add to my daily commitment of feedback……hope this does not eliminate me from the Mexico attempt but thot regardless i should let you know that the system has been a problem today….this is my try yet another time this eve but have been off and on since 9AM my time which was 12 hours ago and most likely others have alerted you to the problem – if not sometiems the aurora borealis does this to us up north – sheesh. Hope all is well and no system hassle. Loved what Tera said about the next steps….for me it is a WISH come true and her making the interviews and calls free will really go a long way in reaching all sorts of women who need to find their way thru the maze of info and lack there of…….thks soooooooooooo much for this opportunity – it has been awesome. Tera you are a women warrior for us all and we really appreciate your setting the path open and accessible….we will take the steps one by one to reach a better place….sweet sincere commitment for all. laurie
PS guess since i have lived for over 30 years and still do with no running water and have raised 2 daughters who actively participated and appreciated a different life style to their peers …. that i have lived a more simple existence i can totally relate to keeping our household needs practical and frills aside….cudos for making it cool to have less and live more. may we all strive to downsize and shut off the lights now and again!!!!

QUESTION: Can anyone explain what Nadine said re why underwire bras are bad?

I think it’s because they cut off the lymphatic drainage around your breasts, which is the system in your body that flushes toxins out of the body.

Really appreciated the call with Barbara Carrellas today. And your very personal revelation about your own intimate sexual experience was incredibly brave, Tera. Talk about putting yourself out there!! I’m not that brave yet. I also loved the pinkie exercise we did. I didn’t feel any heat or tingling in my pinkie finger afterwards, but my pinkie did feel bigger and more expansive somehow as if it stood out from the other fingers in that hand. It will be interesting when I apply this technique to other body parts (even the heart, as she said). For me, Barbara’s wish for women was among the top five. It had me in tears. Really outstanding.

By Ashleigh on Mar 24, 2013
Barbara Carrellas was a pure joy to listen to: I had to stop midway and start the call again this morning so that I could do the breathing exercise in an open state of mind. It was well worth the second listen! I felt this overwhelming wave of pleasure and arousal, dare I say ecstasy?! I also felt guided to relisten to Alexandra Pope’s call in it’s entirety. (I am in my autumn, and I was resisting the slowing down and solitude). I have to say, the compliment of the two calls together, and the ease of which both of the principles can be applied to my life is exactly what I need in my autumn! i bought Alexandra Pope’s ebook and I am excited to embark on this journey and observe how it honours me.

I have a friend who attended one of Barbara’s seminars and she keeps telling me “that woman is a total genius!”
I had doubts and I have been thinking “what could it be so special about all that?”
After the call I know why my friend says that, and I totally agree with her!
She puts the sacred and the erotic at the same level and this is something that really impresses me and inspires me.
A very good call, I like the fact that we all can have a conversation about this topic and everything is so simple and it’s logical…we are sacred, we are filled with the Sacred and the erotic.
Thank you Tera for this call

Three things really resonated with me in Barbara’s talk. First, that the present moment is the only place ecstacy happens. How true! Both sexually and in life in general, we cannot truly feel the peak of the experience if we are not present! Second, Barbara said that ecstasy is when our courage exceeds our willingness to compromise. I love this. It’s that exhilarating feeling when we are dancing at the edges of our comfort zone because we know the magic lies just beyond that point! And of course, that we all get to live in our glorious, sacred, beautiful, gorgeous, too much-ness. Simply divine.

I really enjoyed Brigitte Mars’ interview today. The part I liked the most was where she invites us to write down all the healthy and good-for-us things we can possibly do in a day and then pick 10 each day. This way at the end of any day I know I’ve done something good for me. This seems like such a FUN to-do list that I’ll be looking forward to it!!!
Speaking of To-do lists, today I did my 17th session of fitness challenge in 17 days, woo-hoo!!!! 90 seconds wall sit including 20 seconds one legged each side, 56 seconds plank push-ups, 58 seconds sit ups.

And, as for Brigitte, after the call I went to the nursery and I bought a lot of seeds because the suggetion of creating an edible garden really made me wanting to start this incredible journey!
I live in Italy, in the countryside and I have a lot of wild greens in my garden (some of them were “weeds” in my book, but now I know that they can be something very different and precious) and I’m planning to plant more of them so I can have an edible garden…how cool is that?
Thanks though for all the work you are doing Tera!

I am so deeply moved by Lynne Twist. I took an offshoot of Est called Life Spring when I was 18, and it transformed my life in so many profound ways. It definitely began my path to making more conscious choices, and finding peace with myself. I have been talking with my husband about how it’s time to choose a cause that our kids can participate with us in, and now I feel the sense of urgency that is needed to be moved to action. I feel very open, and now it’s time to step in, surrender and witness the richness of life on a level that cannot possibly be experienced without a commitment to a life of service. Lynn’s stories are so magnificent, I am simply in love with this woman!

I felt as if I was overhearing a life-changing moment: when Lynne talked about Mother Theresa, and Jane Goodall, I was emotional: Tera, I believe your decision to go deeper and invest further in Women’s Health after WISH is part of the revolution of women visionaries that is occuring here and now. And the concept of it being humble to live your purpose and serve deeply and passionately? That shook me to the core. Wow.

Day 16
Since the interview with Nicole wouldn’t load on my computer today, I listened to the talk with Tom Cronin. I started a meditation practice in January, and Tom has encouraged me to take my attention training to the next level. Thank you for the inspiration and insight.

I have listened to Pamela Madsen twice … very significant for me, especially since a total hysterectomy was performed on me. Since then, I do not get lubricated, and feel like I have lost contact with that area. I am honoring it now, and know I will become more and more alive. I am so very grateful for my lotus!

I would like to thank every woman who writes and reads comments because I feel so overwhelmingly happy to be part of this community!!!! It’s been a while now that I feel the itching urge to be part of something so much greater than just myself. My purpose at this moment is to make life easier for every person I encounter.
What I would truly love when my daughter is a bit older would be to accompany people at the ‘end-of-life’ stage. I used to have this huge issue with death even until my grandma passed away in december 2005. I felt so terribly saddened by the persons at the hospital who were dying on their own, without family, the only people who went to see them were the hospital staff and were there mainly (or shall I say only) because they were paid to do so!!
Lynne’s story is beyond inspiring – just as Tera’s. So far this was my favourite call because it spoke to the humanitarian within me.
I was so empowered by this call that I did 10 seconds more than yesterday in wall sit, with 100 seconds including 20 one-legged on each side! Plank push ups 58 seconds and sit ups 58 seconds.

And thank you for always engaging and have sweet replies!

this call from lynne was so inspirational, and her stories stirred my soul with a greater desire to live to give. she spoke so many gems of wisdom and empowerment that i will listen to in the days to come, and that i will seek to practice. one being, to transfer all complaints into commitments, allowing the cracks to be for the light to get through, and positive actions to come forth…making a huge contribution in well-being. thank you so much tera for being such a catalyst for so much positive change in this world!!

I woke up today asking “what can I do to today that will serve others?” As a Mom with two young daughters, I never have to look far for inspiration. But the first step this morning is to read all of your comments. After Lynne’s call yesterday I had the strangest urge-I ordered a thousand business cards-for my website which is free to everyone and is intended to be a source of guidance-I’m not selling anything! They just have the site address, nothing else. “When I asked myself what I am supposed to do with 1000 business cards, I saw myself leaving them behind places: at restaurants, grcoery stores..tacked on bulletin boards.
It is strange guidance, but it feels truly, absolutely perfect!
Thanks to all of you! This commitment to WISH has shown me that wanting something and showing up everyday is enought to make a huge shift! Big hugs to everyone!

Lynne’s story is so wonderful!
I believe very much in service, and I really love to be in service, so I appreciated her call very much.
So good to know that she met Mother Teresa, who was a true giant of service…we can learn so much from her example, and from Lynne’s too.
And I love the concept that we are here for a specific purpose, for making true our soul’s call..our biggest complaint is our call on this Planet.
That really touched me a lot.
Thanks for this call, it’s really a balm for my heart
And Brigitte’s too…as I said yesterday, my edible garden will be full of lovely weeds!

Today was double-treat day! I listened to Barbara Carrellas and Beth Greer and loved both. I am embracing my life of everythingness and I am ready for more!!! Beth’s story was so inspiring, removing tumors with a clean life is so much more beneficial in the long run than having to go through surgery…
Today’s numbers for the fitness challenge: 88 seconds wall sit including 21 seconds on each side, and 59 seconds each for the plank push-ups and sit-ups. AND…… my partner told me I am much firmer looking and feeling!

I am bewildered by the powerful opening I am experiencing as a result of Tama’s call! Tama Kieves is an angel mentor wrapped up in authenticity and tied with a poetic bow. I paused and rewound this call again and again. I am birthing my purpose in this very moment, and her inspiration and belief in “that which walks beside us” is synchronistic. I have never moved forward in my life via a business plan or a marketing network. The voice I hear within is the wise grandmother who perscribes an old world cure for self doubt instead of a little blue pill.
WHERE YOU’RE WOUNDED YOU’RE GIFTED Aaaaaah! Amazing!
I have tears in my eyes after this call: it is the support I needed to stay in faith, and in love with my path.
(I had my cards read yesterday, and he referenced the danger of the ‘just add water’ mentality.) Thank you thank you thank you!

Day 18
Thank you, Tama, for blazing the path of wild creative success. I identified deeply with your story about confronting self-doubt in your ability to be a writer after receiving expert training in conforming to external rules. Since I am starting to learn to trust my own calling, your insight that the inspired life cannot be planned is reassuring to my logical, linearly trained mind. I am grateful for your kind, playful spirit.

Tama is such an inspiration! I love hearing stories like hers, where people leave their high-powered careers to follow their passions by just closing their eyes and leaping…and trusting that their wings will spread and they will soar! I really resonated with her when she said that “peace is often relative to the pain that precedes it.” I am currently in the most peaceful place I’ve ever experienced in my lifetime, and it’s coming after the 2 most horrific years of my life. It is so true! Here’s to practicing grace more and more in each moment!

i had to write in for a second time today!!!! as Tama totally is our Bali Moment….thank you Tera for sharing her with us!!!! the self-opening is that spark she has pointed out is in each of us …..simply that we need to be believed!!! and there is no way ‘advice from unhappy people’ even makes sense and yet we most likely do it everyday – we each have such a great contribution to make to ourselves and then others!!!

I couldn’t stop crying today while I listened to Tama’s call. I let go of so many emotions with these tears. Anger, frustration, self doubt, stress, there were also tears of joy and to use Mrs. Carrellas’ words let’s say I had an hour long crygasm.
I totally recognize myself in Tama and feel my path is somewhat similar to hers. As a kid I dreamed of becoming a translator and ended up becoming an auditor with a large CA (now CPA) firm. I changed jobs a few times but could never find my true place (of course I couldn’t! I was searching in the wrong domain).
When I chose to stay home to raise my daughter, I got all kinds of comments and looks from people around me (including the memorable ‘so you got an MBA to end up on welfare?’).
Tama’s words have changed my whole paradigm today. I feel appropriate, empowered, enthusiastic, engaged and unstoppable in pursuing my dream once again!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul Tera for having Tama this year on WISH.
On another more down-to-earth note, I did the fitness challenge again today and gosh it’s getting tougher now to maintain my numbers and increase them!!! 90 seconds wall sit (incl. 22 seconds one legged on each side), 60 seconds each plank push-ups and sit ups.

By susanna on Mar 29, 2013
When you’re wounded you’re gifted is really something that changes my whole perception!
I’m creating my new job now and I will not call it a “job” but a “purpose” and the call of Mrs. Kieves is so important for me, such an inspiration!
A friend told me “Your dreams are not reality yet? Maybe because are somebody else’s dreams!! What is YOUR deam, really? Remember that only YOUR dream will come true” and I realized that many of my dreams, including the job I had, the work I did, where somebody else’s and my wings were trapped in a net built by words and judgments of other people.
This call had me sometime in tears and with deep thoughts.
Thanks for this call Tera!
Full of gratitude, as always I keep walking my path, happier than ever.

I’m in love with Hannah! Not only am I totally on board with sending love letters anonymously, but this inspired me to write some love letters to dear friends who I don’t see enough. Sure we email and call, but there is something unmistakenly magical about receiving a hand-written note in today’s crazy digital world. I honestly think the only person I ever get hand-written letters from is my grandma! Intention ~ Presence ~ Connection. I am so inspired!

I am excited to do this with my daughters. I can’t wait to create beautiful letters and plant them where people who need them can harvest love!
The issue of bullying is pervasive because words have power. How much can be changed if words of love are shared in schools, between children, anonymously, with intent!

Hannah is another WISH gem. After listening to this call, my main action will be to let people around me know that they matter and that I appreciate them very much. I actually started just tonight when I met a bunch of friends for a birthday party. Giving big hugs and telling them that I love them was awesome! (I never used to be comfortable with letting anyone in my ‘bubble’ so I decided now is the time to BURST that damn bubble!!)
Today’s fitness challenge: 91 seconds wall sit incl. 25 seconds one-legged on each side, 62 seconds plank and 61 seconds sit ups. Getting over the minute for the two latter exercises feels like quite an achievement because the first time I did them I did only 16 seconds for each!!!!!

Hannah’s interview is really a great CALL!
Call for love letters to all my friends and to me, as well!
That is brilliant idea, a lovely plan, a misterious-anonimous-”fool and full” of love-project which is put into action from now.
I was on her website before I had finished listening to the call
This same Summit is a long list of love letters to myself; and the action from them is the way for me to honour those letters.
Thanks again Tera for this!
oh, by the way…Pete’s exercises, squat-one legged wall position and all the others are the love letters to my body and I’m setting high standards, two more of each one every day!

Sarah’s call had a litany of lightbulbs! I was humbled by the fact that sometimes we don’t need to send or broadcast at all: we just need to receive. It is easy to trot out the overused phrase “presence”, but, like Tera, I have experienced that when we are not present, the first people to call us on that and hold us accountable to our conversations are our children. When my children argue, I have them sit face to face, looking into eachother’s eyes, and take turns speaking about the feelings they experienced during their argument. They are truly receiving, and I am blessed to see how transformative and honouring this is! Thank you, Sarah, I am setting my switch to “receive”!

By susanna on Mar 30, 2013
I loved Sarah Rozenthuler’s call!
The concept that the capacity to be receptive, in the communication, is a core conversation skill, is really important.
To be recptive towards the other person, and it’s a sort of a mutual dance.
As Einstein once said (more or less, I hope my translation works) “I’m responsible for what I say, but not responsible for what the other person understands” ; so the part of listening, being receptive, is very important.
And the listening part belongs to me and to the other person, we talk and we listen so at the end what I understand here is that we both play a role in an effective conversation.
This concept is so important, at least for me.
So the motto is “be receptive”, without interpretations and/or personal “translations”….”he/she said this but he/she wanted to say this instead”
Glad to have saved this call in my iPod

This, being the day before Easter and a beautiful spring day in PHX, creation seems to be in our midst. I’m hoping to take a break later to listen to Sarah’s call, but in the meantime: planting a terraced herb garden (getting off our grass?), finishing the cheese, making a loaf of bread, and planning a night out with DH – moving in a good direction, but not RAW yet
Not bad for a another day off!

The call with Sara Rozenthuler really struck a chord with me. While I a commuication junkie of sorts, and fully agree that it is what expands the possibliity of who we are and how we show up in the world, I recently had an exchange with one of my very best friends that blew my mind. Without going in to details, I was essentially asking for her support in something and expected her to be happy to help and honored I asked. But what I received instead was a mis-informed, judgemental mouthful that I get probably stemmed from her own stuff and not mine….but still hurt me deeply. I would have understood her need for a clearing conversation if that was needed before offering her support, but what I ended up feeling was that she broke an unwritten code of sisterhood. While we might not always make the choices that our closest friends make, we are there to be their cheerleaders AND to be there if needed to help pick up the pieces when they fall. Ah, I digress! Man communication is essential but it sure can be complicated!

I am very glad I listened to Sara’s call today. What I did for the rest of the day is make sure I was present in what I was doing and especially when communicating with others.
Still, I found out tonight that I’m not a communication ninja yet!! We we’re having friends over for a mini-visit and at some point I mentioned my daughter’s washable diapers and our friend asked what we thought about those and cost effectiveness vs disposable. I just went on to explain to him our reasoning for getting those as opposed to disposable. His sudden interest in the topic was actually a clue as his girlfriend later announced they are expecting their 1st child!!!
This thought me I need to listen more closely so I can catch hints and clues I otherwise miss.

Before I do the wall sits, I check my posture as Dr. Belisa recommended. What a difference it makes to have the head up against the wall. It carries over to when I am driving. I am feeling taller, and love it. Thank you Pete and Belisa.
Still struggling with the pullup bar, but I keep at it every day.

I listened to Tama and Hannah’s calls this morning while walking around a beautiful Rocky Mountain Lake (sunny day) with my dog.
I was thrilled that on both calls Tera repeated her oft stated comment (and one of my mantras): “you have to paint the picture and then walk into it!”.
Earlier this weekend I ordered Pete Cerqua’s book and have started reading it. I plan to follow up with Tama’s materials too as her work really resonated with me. I loved the concept of love letters: it made me think of sending love letters to my loved ones as a starting point.

Popped on to read some comments…I love the tidbits that all of you share from the interviews…and noticed that my post from yesterday (Sunday March 31st)is missing
I hope that I can post twice today and that I am not disqualified for this…for two reasons, so that I am still in the running for the trip to Tulum, but more importantly, because it is more about the commitment I have made to myself over these past 20 days.
I relistened to Pete Cerqua yesterday because I have been doing the exercises regularly, and I wanted to reignite the fire for the second half of the summit. I have ordered his first book (90 second fitness solution) so i am excited to see what else he has to share!
I will post later today: Tapping is one of my favourite energy techniques, and nick Ortner is a rockstar!

Thank you, Tera, for inviting Nick Ortner to speak. I listened to parts of the recent Tapping World Summit and have found the techniques to be centering and relaxing.
Today, the link to the replay of Nick’s call wasn’t connecting, so I started reading Tama Kieves’s “Inspired and Unstoppable.” I also took a step on my personal path to inspired success. I am grateful for these empowering, encouraging resources.

I feel so much calmer after all that tapping! Wow. The only time I’ve ever been consistent about tapping was when I was pregnant with my second child. I suffered from severe morning sickness with both my boys, and even had to give in to anti-naseau medication. Someone introduced me to tapping, and said I should give it a try, and I said I’d commit to 2 weeks and see if I noticed anything. Within 10 days, I was down to 1/2 my medication dose! And I was able to stop it 2 months before I was able to with my first son. It was incredibly powerful, and I only wish I’d known about it during my first pregnancy! Thanks for introducing us to Nick, and re-acquainting me with tapping. Seems there is so much more available to me, so I’m going to commit to another 2 weeks and see….and this time I don’t feel skeptical, so I might be hooked!
………..
Day 20: Switched to one-legged wall squats today, and wow am I impressed with all of you cranking out 90 sec. on each leg! I made it 42 sec. on my Right, and only 35 sec. on my Left. Definitely shows where I need to work!
Plank: 79sec.

Didn’t notice much of a change after the tapping exercises, but I can see how this would work for me so much more than meditation – keeping my multitasking brain busy doing 2 things at once might actually keep me interested! THEN add to that the benefits of more energy and positive thoughts
We’ll see where this goes….

Wow, that has been an intense long weekend!

Thank you Tera for giving us the tools (all the calls) to support us create meanings in our lives, robust meanings indeed!
The choice is ours, of course
And the trip to Mexico will reinforce all this, too!
The tapping session has been so full of insights, I feel invigorated and much calmer.
Thank you again for inviting all these amazing human beings and for putting together such an incredible group of women.

I was so excited to hear Nick Ortner’s call. I was first introduced to tapping via the WISH Summit and Carol Look. It is deceptively easy, but so powerful. I want to commit more deeply to a regular practice of tapping, because, it speaks to our inner need for safety. The release of Nick Ortner’s new book is divinely timed, as I am teaching a course in Animal Energy Work & Meridans in 2 weeks! I applaud Nick Ortner for his work in Newtown; when I heard that they were working intensively with the community of Newtown, I felt such a sense of peace. I am going to purchase as a tool for my class, but more importantly, as my pledge to choose love. Thanks Tera & Nick!

I have become very familiar with Geneen Roth’s unique approach to compulsive eating and weight issues over the past few months. The weight has been slipping away, and my cravings had subsided. But, life is not linear, and I have had some stress and setbacks that have left me feeling very unsafe. The weight started to attach itself to me in a very fast and inexplicable way. I feel that Jon Gabriel’s call was the answer to my prayer to the Universe. It is work that speaks to the truth of all my challenges and desires!

It is so awesome when people that have been there (wherever that might be ~ overweight and unhealthy, depressed, chronically sick, infertile, etc.) and find their way out make it their life’s purpose to help others in the same boat. That always leads to a life of meaning and passion! I agree that the mind-body connection is an essential part of this process. Jon described it as the means to “effortless and sustainable” weight loss, and I’d say it’s the means to effortless and sustainable SUCCESS, regardless of what you’re trying to let go of. I loved learning about what activates and turns off the fat switch ~ knowledge is power!

Jon Gabriel has sincere authenticity and personal experience to share and give inspiration for all our self realization and personal powerful visions for our full health…the body does want to live a wonderful healthy life and it is what we want to honor for ourselves…we each are in control of our own switch and needing to feel calm and relaxed by giving ourselves a chance for less stress and more vitality….thank you

YUMMY!!!! Loved Frank’s talk and I do feel empowered – especially since we’ve been working on making our own cheese and bread, then this weekend we decided (in our own desert oasis in Arizona) to plant a few herbs, lettuce, and try tomatoes (again). Nothing fancy, just a few cooking basics. Funny thing, mozzarella is next on our list

I’m missing listening to the audios and I’m looking forward to my boyfriend and baby girl being away for a little moment tomorrow so that I can get back up to date on all the wonderful calls we get to enjoy here!
At least I made time for my exercise and did 92 seconds wall sit (incl. 35 seconds one-legged on each side), 67 seconds plank push-ups and 70 seconds sit ups. Very far from my 63 seconds of wall sit on day one (with both legs the whole tough time), and 16 seconds each (!) for the plank push ups and sit ups!!!

The John Gabriel talk was awesome. Yay Tera for interviewing him. I had just seen him in a movie about his approach which makes so much sense. I was excited that his book was on sale at Amazon for $3.99 so going to start reading. I KNOW I have crazy cortisol and adrenal burn out and hope his program can help me get some balance.

I have really been trying to practice self care and self love throughout the WISH summit. Although it would be information overload to implement every great idea that has been presented by the speakers thus far; I am planting the seeds of self love and care and tending to them mindfully everyday. Daniel’s call was a wholesome reminder that for me, ‘seeds` are literal: my garden has been a great source of fulfillment, and I am excited to use the coming growing season to bring new recipes and ideas to our family table. It is as simple as adding one great homesteading idea at a time.

I’m back after a wee holiday over the Easter weekend. Missed a few good calls I’m sure, but will be sure to catch up when Tera makes them available at the end. I just dove right in again and listened to Frank Giglio’s call and loved it. I grew up in an Eastern European family where we did a lot of this type of hands-on homesteading stuff (growing our own food in our garden, buying meat from a local farmer and making home-made sausages, making our own wine, preserves, tinctures with herbs, etc.). We also ate a lot of simple, peasant meals prepared with very simple foods and I continue to learn how to make these dishes from my mom. I did learn a lot of neat new stuff today from Frank, though, that I’m looking forward to incorporating into my life, such as the chaga tea and grain powders, which I’d never heard of before. Thank you, Frank and Tera. I just love the thought of not being so dependent on others for my food.

Just took on the recorded call with Nick Ortner RE: TappingSolution and was totally impressed with his ‘self-empowerment’ approach. So simply ‘able to be fit into our connections with our innerselfs’ and so simple to self-release once you are able to self-connect. how simple is that…just do and enjoy the benefits. very powerful call to encourage self-persistance. wow and i am willing to self-tap further.

Frank Giglio was a bounty of great ideas for incorporating a more sustainable homesteading lifestyle! I’m looking forward to getting those cuppow lids and trying Chaga Tea.

i just loved what Frank Giglio presented as helpful information for our ‘wild side’ foods..i am so encouraged by what he told us about how we can aim for small but effective ways to eat and cook differently – go for the local greens and learn more about the herbs and wilds around you – i had never heard of the wild chaga mushroom and i am surrounded by groves of birch trees…interesting & will investigate further. For anyone who is hesitating about gardening your own herbs i really really encourage you to start just something small and you will be blown away by how your own herbs taste and harvest. where i live in the arctic there is a terribly short growing season but with 24hrs daylight we really have amazing plant growth once seeds can be introduced to dirt [of which there is not alot of soil here but composting works so well] last year i found a pic on the internet while looking at pallet gardening ideas for small spaces and low and behold there was a herb garden shown growing out of a hanging canvas ‘shoe organizer’ and it stated that each plant only needed a handful of soil to fill each pouch and so that is exactly what i did,,,i actually grew parsely and basil and oregano and thyme and mint and sage….all in the one ‘shoe organizer’ unit!!! i went from having no garden to having a herbal heaven right on the side of the railing of the deck outside – & it took hardly any effort to build and water and we are still eating the dried herbs with our meals of wild meat and fish from the lake. During this call Frank make such great ‘empowering’ suggestions and i will continue to do small things to make changes in the right direction. Thks Tera for adding to our fuel for getting these things going!!! i love being encouraged!!

How interesting about the shoe organizer hanging herb garden, Laurie. Thanks for sharing that idea. Who’d have thunk?

I was able to maintain the wall sit for 102 seconds incl. 40 seconds one-legged on each side! Also 68 seconds plank push-ups and 71 seconds sit ups! Now if I can just show the same level of commitment in listening to the interviews that’ll be just perfect. Cheers!

Listening to Maghan Telpner’s call was so fun…giving us the tools & ideas not only to choose foods differently but to totally embrace all the fun & options of how to prepare & cook them. Went to her site about her ‘cooking’ classes offer – she is a real gem & drawing everyone to find the muse she has for her amazing food preparations. Tera’s call with her was so sweetly enjoyable just even in the interplay of ‘life essence’ being embraced by both of them. An ‘undiet’ is what we all need to focus on for all the right reasons. thankyou – PS it was almost impossible to do the wall sit and plank while listening to this call [as i have happily completed with the other calls] as i found myself giggling with food idea’s delight – but all good and still timing longer and easier. Happy challenges and multi-tasking with a smile…’flowers on the bike and slurping sun’!!!forever.

I heard Frank Giglio’s call and even if I eat raw food, I totally agree with him about the use of wild herbs and to look around us for the food.
I live in Italy, where simplicity in food is important and his advices are very familiar to me.
very nice call, with many ideas!

By Ashleigh on Apr 4, 2013
I loved Meghan’s call! She is definitely a firecracker! But, what I appreciated most was the fact that she and Tera both made a point of saying that our obsession and worry about food is far more harmful than a sugar laden cookie once in a while! It is so easy to become overwhelmed and guilty by our food choices, so much so that you want to throw in the towel. I appreciate Meghan’s gentle approach to implementing change, incorporating a few things at a time and cycling through over a few months

Un-dieting is the way to go. Following one’s own heart and needs is the only viable option in the long term.
I have decided to compare myself only to my past self and my future self. This has removed pressure to conform to someone else’s standards and gosh it feels good!
I’ve also started walking the Gabriel way! I generally push the stroller at a VERY leisury pace (I like to smell the flowers even though they are still covered under several feet of snow around here!!). I started walking quickly and escape from the danger until I get to a safe spot (say, the next bloc) and then I walk at my own pace again, congratulating myself for making it to safety. It allows my brain to relax as I laugh at my imaginary plot.
Ok so the numbers for the day… Wall sit: 40 seconds one-legged on each side!!! Plank push ups: 69 seconds and sit ups: 72 seconds!!!

Ocean Robbins brought me to tears! At first, I had settled in to my milk bath with the intention of learning more about the Food Revolution: I had heard John Robbins speak on previous WISH Summit, and when Ocean began telling his story, I heard the same polish and passion in his voice. But when Tera made a comment about how his way of speaking was so inspiring and professional, Ocean’s whole energy changed! I was engaged and listening up until that point, but when he started to talk abut his sons, and the challenges and gifts of living with Autism, it broke me open: how brave of him to share his personal story, and his own expectations and limitations. I loved the story he told about connecting with River over a Barbie’s foot for the first time…
I admit that sometimes I become resistant to information overload when a speaker starts discussing the state of food and the environment, but because Ocean was so gentful, and so mindful of all the change and good news that is happening, I stayed open the whole call!

By Lori Page on Apr 5, 2013
I soooooo agree with Ashleigh! I was not expecting to be really into the call with Ocean. But his when he started getting more personal, his thoughtful, unrehearsed way AND the stories he told with love and excitement really captured me. From the way he was raised to his respect for his dad and so obvious love for his sons, he has so much to share – let alone all of his philanthropic work! I’d LOVE to read his memoir – and he has a LOT of living/loving yet to do!!! Thanks Tera, for sharing his with us!

The beginning of it sounds full of inspiration…I remember the one with his father, Mr John Robbins and I’m so thrilled…look forward to relax and listen!
In the meanwhile I do my exercises, improving every day!
At least ten seconds for each exercise; the nice thing is that my cats look at me while exercising and they try “to climb” the only leg I’m standing on…very survival mode!

Heartfelt powerful call with Ocean Robbins…he is such a sincere soul with much to share & inspire our hearts to take steps in the right direction toward healthy sustainable food choices. a very heart opening call – Tera’s interview touched close & personal endearing us to Ocean very quickly. There is nutritional disfunction in our world & we as consumers do have the power to make choices. The simple fact that we can choose alternatives to the status quo of the ‘commercialized fast & chemical based food industry’ is an amazing first step. educating & informing ourselves is the next….healthy sustainable revolutions begin that way. i commit to do what i can…..

Wow. What a beautiful human being Ocean Robbins is. He touched my heart with such an intensity and beauty that I feel burst wide open right now. As a parent, the story he shared about the barbie doll feet might have been one of the most beautiful stories I’ve ever heard. Ocean is a man who inspires greatness just by his Being. I certainly feel moved to bring more love, health and beauty into the world because of him! And I loved his prayer…May I be given everything I need to do what I’m here for. Power in simplicity. And celebrating our Enoughness once again. I love it.

Today I finally got to listen to Daniel’s call and as always I enjoyed it very much. This summer I am planning on getting a pair of vibram shoes. I think they look amazing.
The whole foot discussion was so relevant. I spend as much time as possible barefoot ever since I was a child and I used to get comments like “your feet will become too wide and you won’t be able to fit in shoes”. Even my parents used to mock me because my feet were rather wide and I never really cared. When doing yoga I love stretching my toes and my feet feel awesome and alive.
Today I was able to last 42 seconds on each leg during the wall sit. Plank push ups were up 1 second to 70 seconds! And sit ups lasted a decent 73 seconds.

The calls of Frank Giglio and Meghan Telpner have something in common, and this something is what Tera says at the beginning of Giglio’s call: the further away we get from Nature, the further away we get from what makes sense.
This is so true!
And in Meghan’s call I can find this delicate attitude that she suggests us to approach in a gentle way the change. It’s not a matter of time or counting calories frantically, but a matter of staying in a relationship with ourselves.
Love the Un-Diet concept and the Love for ourselves!

The concept of food which is present in every community is so true and also the fact that a lot of trainers are sick..this happens quite often; how could I lead a seminars, or be a leader of a community is my example is the one of a “sick” person that doesn’t take care of him/herself?
And even my family is a community, so the word that Ocean Robbins shows me is EXAMPLE.
Very inspiring

By Ashleigh on Apr 6, 2013
I just listened to Leah Lund’s call and I have to say: this may have been the most timely call so far: I know that food and mood are intertwined, but I have never had someone explain it so simply and compassionately as Leah did. It is so easy to beat yourself up for being depressed, or low, and feeling like you should be able to mind over matter and mantra the feelings away, if you even allow yourself to feel them at all. It is not our fault! I have a varient of Epilepsy that came on suddenly 4 years ago. Although I am not on anti depressants per se, I do take 3 anti convulsant meds that affect the neurochemistry of the brain. I know that there is definitely a seziure/migraine food link for me, but my doctors only acknowledge it in passing before handing over a new perscription. I know that these drugs are dangerous, but until now I have felt at a loss as to what to do instead (having seizures veryday is dangerous too!) Thank you Leah, I look forward to your teleseminar series!
[Reply]
By Beth on Apr 6, 2013
I love the work Leah Lund is doing, and really appreciate you having her speak in this summit. The food-mood connection is something I’m extremely passionate about, as someone who spent my teenager years depressed, with anxiety, and on zoloft and xanax for years. I felt numb. When I got to college, I was blessed to end up living with a very healthy and knowledgeable vegetarian couple who changed my life forever. Once I became conscious of what I was putting in (actually both food and cosmetics), what poured out felt amazing! We ARE designed to feel good, and the solution IS so much easier than it looks from the outside. Because when you see shiny, happy, healthy people and are not well yourself, you think, ugh, I could never do that. But if you start with a walk, and add in a thing or two here and there that are healthy and make you FEEL good, that feel good factor will take you far! Such good stuff, thanks so much!

Leah Lund’s call – WOW yes women deserve to be the healthiest we can be – this is the most critical offering of the WISH program for me – Tera points out what Leah worked through to reach for herself and Leah is so committed about wanting no other woman to have to take that uncharted path – so long and so alone – i have struggled with this self – need focus far too long – that is only now finally working on feeling good & not guilty about taking the time i deserve to embrace better health – it is my responsibility to find that inner self health but it is so hard to weed thru all the media/crap/corporate/money based solutions – Leah offered herself & her knowledge so graciously and so completely – yes she is someone we need to hear from more and more often Tera you are on the right track to give women all the tools they need to change their health and by their change – change the health of their families and their communities. awesome

What a great call with Leah! First off, Tera, thank you for sharing another bit of yourself! Leah’s call is quite timely for me as well, I gave up my antidepressants about 18 months ago and have been doing different things to help with moods…. I am doing much better, but I love the idea that food – or non-food can have an impact on how I feel (somewhere deep inside I already knew that!)I plan to do the assessment and see where that might lead!

ok – if you listen to only one thing in Daniel Vitalis’s call take time to hear his WISH! as he ended his call so graciously speaking to each of our souls….telling us each to brave eonough to be just be ourselves & to realize just how beautifully empowering we are. That hit home for sure – you will then totally need to start this call from the beginning more than once. His call was all soooooo awesome that few words can adequately describe the powerful simple practical info he presented in his call. You will hear so much about what you might have felt was ‘truth’ deep in your body but for me i have never had the healthy self-reflection back on how simply amazing & inspirational we can be when we take small steps & make small changes by being more true to our natural patterns and natural self. this was a great wonderful affirming call – we need much more of this info from Daniel as he just touched the natural surface for us!!!! thank you Tera – Daniel is cool deep fresh air!

Daniel Vitalis is awesome. He reminds me of so many of my friends from my hippie days in college! Not that my inner-hippie has left, I just don’t look the part quite as much these days.
I LOVE his love and respect for women. If only all men understood what he does! He gave so many great tips ~ I already do the cold water thing in my showers and have been hooked since I started that a few years ago. I’m not a fancy high heels person because they kill my feet and just don’t make sense, but I have found that brands like Born and Nurture have some really cute shoes that my feet feel great in! I think I was most fascinated with what Daniel shared about the health and quality of our eggs being determined by our grandmothers, and thus affecting 2 generations of our children! We do indeed have a huge responsibility, and I so appreciate you, Tera, for providing such amazing tools and resources to step into that responsibility with grace, wisdom and strength!

The conversation with Leah Lund is so very important in an era where everybody and their grandmother are popping anti-depressants and other mood-altering drugs like candy (no pun intended). It makes so much sense to try non-prescription approaches, such as changing what you eat and going for a walk and listening to inspiring interviews like WISH, before resorting to chemical approaches. It makes so much sense that the foods we put in our body will have an impact on our brain chemistry and therefore our moods. The one phrase that stood out for me in this call is: “Nothing erodes your mood like sugar.” I have such an addiction to sugar, it’s not even funny and I’ve been trying for years to kick the habit. I know it affects my nervous system in a baaaaaad way and yet I still crave it. Thank you also, Tera, for bravely sharing your story. You are awesome.

Love, love, love that Daniel Vitalis. His wish for women was breathtakingly beautiful. It’s soooooooo encouraging to know that there are men like him out there. It gives me hope. And he is, indeed, a great educator with a perspective on feet that I’ve never heard before. I think his tip on using high heels sparinngly as a luxury item could also be applied to our bras, ladies. I also was particularly struck by his idea of rewilding the mind first by just simply asking ourselves in everything we do: “What would I do if I was a naturally living organism?” Would I eat this, wear this, drink this, cook this, etc. Just great!

Weekends are rough, haven’t had time to listen to Daniel yet…. However, since we’ve been at this for a while, Tera, I wanted to thank your for a few folks who seem to have made a difference in my life so far: Michelle Phillips – I purchased her book and am taking advantage of her 4 free coaching calls! Allana Prat – she’s just so WOW! Fun to listen to and great for getting contagious energy! Also, Hannah and MLL – my daughter and I will share that experience. And finally, Leah Lund. I have a call with her next week and have started journaling on her site – part of the whole feeding your brain to improve your mood is the journaling to know where you are at – she has been commenting on my posts and I have great hope that that alone will help me in some long term changes. Thanks again for WISH – and thanks for being committed to making a difference – it has sure helped me!

Daniel Vitalis’ call was tremendous! I think that hearing an intelligent man speak to the biology of humans and the sacred nature of the ‘Eve” mitochondria was a gift! This call complimented Alexandra Pope’s in the best possible way. I have started to chart my cycle and ride the ebb and flow of the moon’s phases within my own body.
There was so much great science behind the call, I just wanted to stop, pause, and jot down notes every few seconds! I have seen hungry for change but Tera, you shone new light on Daniel for me! Thank you, and thanks to Daniel for a beautiful WISH for women!

By Veronique Larose on Apr 7, 2013
Wow thank you so much girls for the encouragements to keep posting!!! In no way did I ever think of not going through all 40 WISH calls, they are all too good to miss.
You are all too good to miss too! <3 There's something awesome about doing a challenge where we are many people aiming for the 40 day mark (and for every bit and piece and peace between day 1 and day 40!). I am pretty sure I wouldn't have lasted 40 days of fitness had I not vowed to it publicly
So BIG THANK YOU and keep going too. I understand that we are all petals of the large flower that this blog page is and a flower missing its petals just isn't as pretty in the end.
Leah's call is so awesome. I will start journaling tomorrow to get a clear picture of my food-mood-chart. I have known for a while that some foods impact hugely on my energy levels (worst item being gluten, it is worse than a sleep pill for me, I can't drive a car safely after eating a 'typical family holiday meal' of pasta/bread/cake so now I just forgo most of these food items) but I didn't realize that my food choices also impact my mood!
Since I want to elevate the global mood, I figured I need to ensure my own mood is close enough to ecstatic at least most of the time!
So today… Did 50 seconds one-legged wall sit on each side, 73 seconds plank/push-ups and 75 seconds sit ups. No improvement today in wall sit and sit ups numbers but at least I maintained yesterday's figures so that's good enough for me.
LOVE again to everyone around here

I’m officially behind in listening the calls, but I love so much posting here..I feel surrounded by a group of such dedicated women!
I live in Italy but I feel so near to each one of you, because we undoubtedly ha experiences in common, maybe even struggles and we don’t let them put us down.
Thank you all for the posts!
Sometimes I don’t get the links in my mailbox, I don’t know where to find them and I receive theme here by simply writing…how amazing is that?
This is the beauty of a community, thank you all!
The last call I was able to listen to has been Leah Lund’s. I love that woman! She made all those concepts very understandable…
Thank you Tera for sharing your story with us, for the words you said, for remainding us that event our thought are ENERGY, are charged with energy and we need to feed our brain properly, so we can give energy to our thoughts, to eliminate “toxic” thoughts and how importanti food is for that.
I have a very close friend which is dealing with depression and bad moods and, instead of bombarding herself with drugs, she could easily recover with food only.
And I learned here, thanks to Ocean Robbins, that it is by giving example that we can change the world around us.
I’m so grateful for all that I’m learning here.
Thank you

As Tera explained, she isn’t always able to send an email every day, so if you go to the previous day’s e-mail and click on the link for the previous day’s call, you will find the call for the next day. I’ve done that often and it works.
This is indeed a great little community we are forming here. I feel the same as you

No, no luck with the Burt Goldman call yesterday and still not today. When I go to the link, it’s still Daniel Vitalis. This is the first time my method hasn’t worked
so there must be a problem.

Well, I posted too soon. I just tried to listen to the Goldman link and it doesn’t work. I popped over to the Tera Warner Facebook page and it seems no one there has been able to listen either. So, I guess we have time to catch up on the calls we’ve missed.
By Ashleigh on Apr 8, 2013
I wanted to share a bit more about my experience with Leah Lund’s work: we had a phone consult today and I found her to be informed and confident. She is so professional and courteous! Her Brain Make Over course starts tomorrow, and it seems like an amazing way to understand targeted nutrition and mood.
I started journalling on her site and I am looking forward to exploring her work more. I like the fact that she isn’t telling you all the things you already know (white sugar is bad, green veggies are good) instead she intends to give each person a specific way to use supplements and food to balance your weight and mood. It is like the missing link to brain nutrition.

Day 28
The link for the call with Burt Goldman wasn’t working on my computer. Since I thought the conversation would touch on visualization, I decided to try the “paint the picture” exercise by imagining the kinds of experiences I would like to have. Even if the elements don’t materialize as I envisioned, the process felt so deliciously satisfying that I suspect it probably had a therapeutic, calming effect. I’m looking forward to listening to the call later. Thank you, Tera.

Today life has been hectic. 6 new clients (ok I’m not gonna complain about this one as it will bring $$$s to build my dreams), bought a car, did the regular housewife stuff (cooking/cleaning/taking care of baby/picking up everything so that the house is ready when bf comes back), and I also did my fitness challenge for the day.
From the look of my office, one would think we’ve been hit by a tornado. I’ll have to deal with this tomorrow because you girls are the last ones to get any of me today
I can already feel the coziness of the bed sheets, the warmth, the zzzzzzzzz………. What a wonderful setting for visualizing the best life ever.
Today I did 55 seconds one-legged wall sit on each side, 74 seconds plank/push-ups and 76 seconds sit ups.
I decided when I’m done with these 40 days, I’ll start another 40 day round with 3 different exercises. It is so awesome the changes I feel and see after so little time invested each day, why would I want to stop. Night night! xx

Hi Lidia!
I don’t think my luck came “by luck”!! I recently did an intensive 40 days of journaling for prosperity and abundance and things have been really crazy ever since. It was my first long term commitment to journaling (well I consider 40 days pretty long as I had never done any journaling before).
What I did was ask for the clients who needed me and who I could help the best. Didn’t do advertisement, it’s all word-of-mouth and referrals. But see now it’s almost 11:30 at night and while I was (still) working I just remembered I was supposed to go to bed early and hadn’t done my exercise yet… This is the flip side of the coin. I’m not gonna complain though!
I wish you the best in your business, believe in your strenghts and ask for divine guidance to get the flow of abundance to get back your way!
[Reply]
Reply by Lidia on April 10th, 2013
Thanks for your response Véronique. I will do the journalling for abundance and ask for divine guidance and see what happens. Ièm wondering if all this happening is because the universe is trying to tell me I need to make some changes with regard to my work. Time will tell.
By laurie on Apr 8, 2013
For me, today/night has been a catch up moment as well..trying to see where i have missed a call or where i need to repeat a call as most were so full of amazing things worthwhile second round & also to re-invigorate my daily connection to the wall sit & plank while going about my day to day activities – including an adventure out on the snow/ice to enjoy a northern sunny day. soooooo that was how i focused today while watching for the next new call / data. feel blessed while challenged = thank you.

Very busy morning and I’m in cafè now, slurping my pineapple-basil-lemon-chard smoothie and ready to write after Daniel Vitalis call.
What can I say…I can start from the end with his Wish for women: may we step back into the maternal power.
How amazing are those words?
And how true, I dare to add…all this Summit is built around this concept (or so I think) and I feel that the maternal power is ours by right of birth
Then, going backward in his call, I appreciate very much the idea of the five fingers and the barefoot movement. I’m a proud five finger owner; they really changed my way of walking and of feeling the Earth below my feet.
It’s a way to stay in contact with Her; and of course I stay barefoot as much as I can and I decided to use Daniel’s questions “how can I go as close as to what’s natural possible” and “how about applying this logic to all of your life?”
I decided that this is the challenge for me in the next 40 days, to start…
Anf then making this my way of living my life.
Thanks Daniel for this insight, very powerful! And thanks Tera for inviting him at the S>ummit.
And, as usual, thank to all the women here for their sharings.

I listened to the Daniel Vitalis call again and he is referring to Vibram Fivefingers…they are a type of shoe with a few styles available! I am thinking about reading into them and possibly purchasing a pair for myself. Then, if they are wonderful, maybe pairs for my girls (they have kids sizes too!)

The kids love love love Fivefingers, because of the shape and because they are so comfortable!
At the beginning I thought they were some kind of crazy thing for bizarre people, or artist, or hippy blablabla, but now I can’t stay without my Fivefingers (and please remember that I don’t work for the company
They are simply amazing!

Hi Lidia, Fivefingers is an italian product by Vibram and you can find them at the link here

And I’d love to use them during the Camino to Santiago, which I’m planning to do the next september, hopefully

Thank you, Ashleigh and Susanna. I just checked out the link and they do look rather odd, don’t they. As Daniel said, you can’t wear them for every occasion, not in our current society, but I think incorporating them into your life as much as you can would really help us feel the ground we walk on and contribute to our rewilding.
Reply by Lidia on April 10th, 2013

Today I continued to explore three of Tama Kieves’s questions from “Inspired and Unstoppable”: What do I love to do? What do I want to do right now? What would be a good next step? I would like to use my answers, which are still developing, to create a life suffused by my literary and philosophical passions.
Since no new calls seem to have been posted, I listened to an old interview with SARK. I was especially impressed by the power of asking for miracles. I plan to incorporate this practice into my visualizations.

Today was a great, great day for exercise as I was able to set new records even while exercising really late at night (almost 11h30 pm). I did 60 seconds wall sit on each leg, 75 seconds plank push-ups and 80 seconds sit ups!!!

Loved the call, thank you Tera for inviting such precious speakers to this summit, we can treasure all of them!
I remember Mary Morrissey’s call of the previous Summit, always full of insights and in this one I like very much the final wish, to get rid of the genetic programming that for millennia had manipulated us, so if ONE woman gets free, so the others can be free to!
And I keep in mind that wonderful things happen, because they are already in us

His ideas make sense to me and I already bought two copies of his books as gifts.

By Lidia on Apr 10, 2013
So I don’t know how Bob Goldman got in there, but the email I received this morning after a few days of silence from Tera went from comments on Daniel Vitalis’ call to the new Mary Morrissey call, so I think we are back on track. Enjoyed listening to Mary and jotted down her tips for building my dreams and signed up for her on-line Dream-builder Kit. Since I’ve been struggling with my business lately, with clients pulling their business and others asking me to drop my rates, this is the perfect time to ask myself “What would I love in my career?” Hmmmmmm?
Her wish for women was very interesting as it had never occurred to me that we women are now genetically programmed to operate through seduction and manipulation in order to survive centuries of living in a male-dominated world. It kinda makes sense to me, though, and I think it’s something that would be very insidious, so hard to see inside ourselves. I’m going to watch out for this in myself so I can break free of it if it’s there. Like she said, this is the era to do it, and when I do, then the women around me will be inspired to do so as well

Great perspective Lidia! I found the Dream Builder kit to be really powerful when I signed up for it during the last WISH Summit.

So nice to be in the coversation of keeping dreams alive! Great call with Mary Morrissey. I often find myself aware of the ways I am limiting my children’s creative energy because of my own ingrained patterns. The good news is I’m aware, and often catch myself and shift it before it squelches their innate brilliance! My operating system is a continual work in progress.
I am blessed to do work that makes me feel alive, and continue to look for places to lean in and expand what’s possible in all aspects of life. And I’m so grateful for many of my support structures, this community and Tera being one of them!

Day 20-something
Thank you, Mary, for the electric interview. Your message touched me deeply. When you told the story about Gay Hendricks, I laughed out loud, and by the middle of the call, I was crying with joy.
Here are some of the star ideas from my notes:
Ask yourself, “What would I love?”
Insight does not produce change.
We can experiment with the way we’re doing life. Put on what something different would feel like.
Recognize a good idea by its expansive energy.
Every single day is precious.
Living the life you love is a contribution to others.
I love listening to you, and I love transformation work. I have downloaded the Dream Builder Toolkit, and I commit to completing the exercises.

I’ve been feeling so overwhelmed the last few days, I think I’m on overload from all of the great information and almost can’t get myself to go any direction!?!? Stepping back, I will focus on my posts here, your calls, and my coaching with Michelle Phillips, THEN see where I am – to figure out which thing to do next.. It’s not bad, it’s all good – but I fear I’ll give it all up if I take on too much at one time!

So today I did exactly the same numbers as yesterday (60 one-legged wall sit on each leg, 75 plank/push-ups and 80 sit ups.
Two goals for tomorrow: 1. To listen to Mary’s call because you really make me want to listen to it with your ecstatic comments and; 2. To do my exercise earlier in the day!

So, after posting how overwhelmed I feel, I found some relief in a weird place….. the OLD WISH calls and ALL of the current calls! So maybe this was out there somewhere, and I was just totally missing it, but I’m so thrilled I found the links and bookmarked all 4. Here they are:

Just took on the inspirational call with Michael Eisen….simple & profound understanding the importance of empowerment toward ‘self-worth and self-confidence’ – a supportive approach to positive affirmations for our youth – & he is totally correct – he also states it is what most adults are affected by this ‘lack of self-worth’ & it is where the cycle begins for the children. very profound. Wanting youth to find their own truest-self & living lives thru their focused passions as being authentic & for now and into the future. yes amen – great points raised by you Tera!!!!love to know your daughter in small ways – ‘respect is earned not given’ – yes !!! great to hear the insights! as they are practical & helpful. The programs Michael runs are new to my realm of knowledge & and i am happy to hear he will put this info on line as well……..great use of the internet for the future!!! will keep track of this one!!!

Just finished to listen to the inspirational call with Michael Eisen.
I have no kids of my own, I am a proud aunt, so I can only apply these ideas and suggestions to my nephews and nieces.
But I’m a daughter so I can remember what it was for me and for my parents…I sort of inherited the cycle of “lack of self-worth” or the absence of powerful affirmations for me and for my life, because my parents didn’t know much about them…I can’t blame them, they did the best they knew
I totally agree with Eisen and Tera about the importance of working together, parents and children and, as another woman here in the forum reports, “respect is earned, not given”…that is so true and great!
So, thanks again for this new amazing tool for us and for a “prosperous” growth of relationships with our parents, sons & daughters and with ourselves!

Loved Michael Eisen – I hope we can spread his word and make all his WISHes come true! I love that I felt like he supported me as a mom – I believe I am doing a lot right! ASnd I also felt like he gave some great concrete tips of how to increase positive communication and build better human beings.
I also really enjoyed his hopeful story and am glad that he’s sharing that. Not only to give hope to the children who are struggling – that an end can come in a positive way – but that his dad, who was one who added to those struggles, was also the one who found change in himself and took the really high difficult road to seek out his son and help him to overcome those struggles. What LOVE we well meaning but sometimes stupid parents do have!

I checked in and realized that even though I commented on a bunch of comments yesterday, I didn’t post for myself!! I guess that the big bonus of this experience has been witnessing how we are all processing and valuing this information. We are growing physically and spiritually stronger! As an aside, great progress on Pete Cerqua’s exercises…everyone’s numbers challenge me to be mindful, take the time, and hang on just a few more seconds everyday!
Mary Morissey is a gifted storyteller! I was overcome by the story she told about her friend who left the safe job with ‘benefits’ to open a nursery with her husband. I am grateful that they had those fulfilling years together, working side by side at something they loved. it reminded me of a piece I wrote on my own experience.

I really enjoyed the interview with Michael, you can still hear the fierceness, rebellious and determined nature in his voice. I am so happy that he’s helping youth to let their voice be heard and communicate with others around them. It is always tough being young and feeling like your parents don’t have a clue. It is the same thing with every new generation we bring on Earth.
Looking forward to Mary’s interview, I’ll listen to it tonight and come back with my comments!
I am so happy I finally got to get my fitness blitz done early in the day! So tonight when I want to go to bed, that is what I’ll do rather than work my butt off!!!!!
Wall sit: 65 seconds, one-legged, on each side. Plank push-ups: 76 seconds (oh so tough…) and sit ups: 85 seconds.

Day 30
Thank you, Michael, for sharing your transformational story and for providing relatable resources for young people. I think that I can apply many of your points, such as the idea of being a safe person for receiving authentic communication, in my relationships with adults, too. Your vision of a world in which people do the work that calls them is inspiring.
I started the Dream Builder exercises this morning. Replacing the negative emotions with positive ones felt good, and the imagination activities brought greater definition to my vision of my dream life. For me, however, the connection with my “why” provided the most powerful component. Articulating the motivation behind my purpose opened the door to a flood of new ideas for creative projects and playing myself in the world. Thank you, Mary and Tera.

I LOVE the work that Michael Eisen is doing. While my anxiety and depression as a teen didn’t stem from my parents, I can certainly relate to so much of his story. Getting involved in the personal development community radically and beautifully transformed my life when I was 19. I became a volunteer for a teen training called Torch, and that was some of the most rewarding work for me. I feel very called to get back in to this work, and will definitely be connecting further with Michael.
Having little ones still, I feel like I’m constantly seeking ways to help my kids feel empowered and able to express themselves fully, because really the breakdown begins from such an early age! This is such important work, thank you for bringing this to the WISH conversation, Tera!

By Ashleigh on Apr 12, 2013
I listened to Michael’s call yesterday, and it is a great perspective! I consider myself a present parent, and I am always doing my best to empower my children, but a fresh take from someone who is looking through the lens of youth is so rewarding! Tera, thank you for sharing your own parenting journey with us! My partner is gone 23 out of every 30 days, so I have to consciously creat a supportive and empowering environment solo. Meeka’s bold and courageous stand on respect being ‘earned’ was so touching! My eldest daughter experienced something similar, and I was opened to the fact that all of us must earn respect…no matter how old or what position of power we hold!
Thank you Michael! The power of helping youth become empowered as they grow, instead of having to do the work as adults, that is a philosophy I can stand behind!

I was just watching GMA and 2 relevant stories to note:
First, a French study just came out suggesting that women’s breasts will be firmer and perkier the longer they don’t wear bras! They didn’t go in to any of the health benefits that Nadine spoke about, but I thought this was big news for mainstream! I must admit, I am small-breasted so it makes sense to me, but I do wonder how large-breasted women could even fathom not wearing a bra and not have more sagging, plus back pain, etc. Thoughts?
Second, there is an awesome rally going on tomorrow, April 13th, Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in Manhattan from 12:30-3, called the Perfect Revolution. They are launching a national movement for students and schools to redefine perfect. I would totally go if I lived anywhere close! If anyone can go, report back! http://perfectrevolution.org ~ Spread the word, great stuff!

I am so in love with this summit….I’m sure it’s the combination of Tera’s 21 day detox and WISH, but my husband says he hasn’t seen me this happy in years! I feel so electric, alive, happy and bursting with more ideas than I know what to do with! So I breathe….and listen. One step at a time. One, playing big, step at a time.

Beth, a puddle of bliss indeed!! Bliss and tears and cauldrons of swirling light and mysterious fires and speed-of-light curves. Tara Sophia’s poem is going up on my fridge to be read every day. Talk about a woman who has stepped outside the box!!! I’m one of those people who was stuck on the question “What’s my purpose in life?” And now I know. My purpose in life is the same as everyone’s purpose in life: “To bring light and love into the world.” And so now, I look around, stay alert, and watch for opportunities to do so as I live the life I’m already living, while I look inside and get in touch with my heart’s longing. Sometimes, the biggest moments in our lives happen very very quietly, with no fanfare whatsoever!

Day 31
Thank you, Tara, for your beautiful vision for women and for your insightful poetry. I agree that the contemporary North American template for female attractiveness is rather masculine. Your critique of higher education speaks to some of my most painful experiences, and your contrast between ambitious control and actualized creativity resonates in my soul.
I appreciate your empathetic spirit and admire your expansive work and play in the world as a wise artist. “Your Other Name” is magical. I shiver when I think of myself as a “galaxy with skin.” Your example gives me courage to deepen and share my own creative vision.
{Dream Builder Exercise: This morning, I spent fifteen minutes visualizing my dream life. I moved backward through the categories, starting with my “why” and then imagining my spirituality, relationships, health, and career. As I go through my day, I already feel more connected with the parts of myself that are aligned with my passion and calling. Thank you, Mary, for this simple, powerful practice.}

Today was a double-day again! I loved listening to Mary’s interview, your comments were certainly not exagerated!
When I would be called a dreamer by people around me, it was generally in a rather condescending manner. Now I can be free to dream and feel good about it too!
Tara’s call was so good too. I love how she inspired me to seek greatness in all that I do. I also loved that she made me aware that I am divinely feminine and that it is perfectly fine that way. I always felt kind of awkward wearing suits to go to work, it felt like a professional outfit was supposed to look “manly” (hard enough with my petite frame).
Today was a tough day for exercise. I did 65 seconds one-legged WS on each side (same as yesterday), then 73 seconds plank push-ups (3 less than yesterday…) and at least improved my sit ups times to 90 seconds today.

I listened to Tara’s call this afternoon. It is one of the ones I will flag to listen to again… sometimes the wisdom skims the surface but it doesn’t get to the depths I need it to. I heard her, and I could feel her boldness and strength, but my head is preoccupied. .

By Beth on Apr 13, 2013
Oh where to begin, where to begin?! I am continually amazed at the interconnectedness of my circles and the serendipty of life. I moved from San Francisco a bit over 2 years ago now to Austin, and while I was not actively involved with One Taste, most of my community was, and the OM practice was a regular part of our connection. I can so vividly recall everything about my first OM. It ignited a switch and turned me on to a new level of life that I never knew possible. And honestly, it’s something that I didn’t even realize until now how very much I MISS that level of pleasure! While I don’t need to overshare, I will say that my husband is very much about pleasing me, and for that I am so grateful. But when we got together, I sort of left that community intention behind, and began a different life of creating family, building business, etc. I’m not sure why it wasn’t something I introduced to him. Perhaps I felt he thought it would be silly? He knew that my girlfriends participated in “some practice” where men came to visit for short sessions, and honestly, I think he viewed it from the “slutty” perspective. He didn’t ask, so I didn’t share. Well how bout this…years later the OM movement has reached my holistic health community online! Looks like it’s time to have a conversation with my husband.
My mind (actually my whole body) is swirling with an energy and electricity that I remember so sweetly…and feel the hunger for once again…aaaaah!

I listened to Nicole’s call this morning, and it wasn’t what I expected at all! What a sweet surprise! My partner and I are familiar with OM via Time Ferriss (who wrote the 4 hour body) but, I have only been able to sit still and receive once….what I loved most was that Nicole really emphasized how earnestly committed to giving men are! My partner and I had a beautiful and very honouring conversation about planning our evening tonight
It was a very real exchange, and I felt seen, not as a piece of meat, but as the object of his attention and the person he wants to know and please! Thank you thank you thank you!!!

The fitness challenge is becoming more challenging on a daily basis. Yesterday I did such a bad performance on the plank push ups that I decided to tackle them first tonight. Seems like it paid off! I did a respectable 77 seconds of upper-body alivening. Best shot so far. Wall sit, one-legged: 66 seconds each side and sit ups: 93 seconds.

Day 32: OK, where to start? I have been commenting on the facebook page but have for a while now. And I’m gonna post my comment here because what I what I have to say just seems too personal, I might go back to facebook another day.
I haven’t had time/head space to post my feedback on facebook,and even missed a couple of calls last week, but life feels a little upside down right now. I just came back to London after a trip back home ( Brazil), and have found myself very confused and a little bit depressed since I packed my bags and left. Nothing seems to “fit” and I can’t rationally explain why I’m feeling like his. I have no idea why it is.
All I can say, and this isn’t a particular call, but to all of them is that the wish summit has absolutely been a life-line!!! And Tera is one of te MOST inspiring, brave, beautiful women I know on this planet!!! Also just knowing there are loads of other women around the world listening to these calls, feeling inspired brave and full of life makes me me feel supported and safe.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH

Hi Bianca~ First, welcome to an amazing and supportive community of women here on Tera’s blog. While I recently moved to live close to my parents, I very much remember the heartache and even depression that often followed a trip home. I can only imagine the added heartache of home being so far from where you live. I think it is natural. Feel it, find a way to honor those feelings, and try to not rush back in to the busy-ness of life in an effort to bury those feelings. Grab some tea and tap back in to the life-line! Nothing like Tera and WISH calls to fill your heart and spirit with love, inspiration and life! You are so brave, thank you for sharing yourself with us!
PS~ That is why I have chosen to do all my posting here ~ I feel I can be more personal and vulnerable. Like I said, the women here rock.

Day 30: today two calls for me, the one with Nicole Daedone and the one with Tara Sophia.
I absolutely love her name…Tara is a tibetan Goddess and Sophia means Wisdom in Greek, so I think that for an authentic leadership for us women, we definitely need a lot of Wisdom from Our Inner Goddess
I think I have some programs to plan, for my pleasure and for playing bigger in my work and in my life and those two calls are right on time!
I’m part of a group of actress here in Italy and we will do a reading by Eve Ansler (not the Vagina Monologues…the work is Any One Of Us, words from prison; it is about all the violences suffered by women, in their families caused by abusers, and the violence in prison caused by guards); all of us must grow with the idea that we are allowed to play bigger in our life, it is safe to play bigger, it’s our right.
One of my fav calls here is Barbara Carrellas and for me her wish is somehow linked with these two calls: for all the women, and the woman inside all of everybody, it is safe to be too much, so there will be a world where we can live with our glorious too-muchness!
And with this too-muchness we can play bigger in our life.
Thank you all for “being” this too-muchness and for all the words I gather here! it’s so beautiful to read about all of you.

I am so grateful for the catch up time! It is taking me in a different direction. My big sister has been suffering from headaches, IBS and lethargy for months, and we have discussed doing a green juice cleanse for a while now. I wanted to hold a space for her to have her own epiphanies around live food and sensitivities, she is a busy mother of 4, and I felt I could offer her support without being preachy or pushy. On Friday my sister had to say goodbye to her german shepherd, Duke, who was 14. She wants to start a juice cleanse this week, so she is going to drop off all the goodies to me, I will make the juice, and she’s going to have to do is drink it, and be present! Its a bonus for me because I will do it alongside her! Tera has so much great info, I just listened to a call about the basics of a juice cleanse, and found some great recipes to get us healing body and mind! We start Tuesday, so I would love some cheerleaders!

That is so sweet of you! It means the world to have help when you’re a mom (gosh I wish I had understood that earlier because I could’ve helped in different ways). Losing a pet is such a tough thing to go through too so a cleanse will help bring freshness and colour in a sad time.

Thanks Veronique! My sister has been a huge support to me through major illness and conflict in my own life, and as I grow through so much of that, I see the unique ways in which I can offer support to the women around me. It has been a healing process. Because I am an animal energy practitioner and intuitive I was able to share the last few months of her dog’s life with her, and the lessons and messages he had for her. It was as beautiful, sad and rewarding for me as it was for her!

How exciting, Ashleigh! That is fabulous that your sister is ready and willing, and you don’t have to feel preachy ~ woo hoo! I just completed Tera’s 21 day green smoothie detox, and initially started it to support my mom, who is fighting cancer, in reaching a new level of health and vitality. Sadly, she quit after 3 days!
BUT…a couple weeks later, when she saw the life-changing results I was experiencing (even as a person who is already pretty darn health conscious!), she jumped back in and has been taking on her life in a way that makes me so proud! Supporting family members can be such a tricky thing…we are so invested, but have to remember, it’s their journey, not ours. I look forward to hearing about your and your sisters journey’s! Very exciting. You are a great sister.

Day 33
Thank you, Tera, for providing the opportunity to catch up on past calls and to experience the pleasure of anticipating the final group of fabulous interviews.
I listened to the recording of the live call with Nick Ortner that I had missed. When he discussed tapping both from the energetic standpoint of the meridians and from the Western perspective of alleviating stress responses in the sympathetic nervous system and the limbic center of the brain, he confirmed some of my speculations about possible reasons for the effectiveness of ETF in addressing diverse physical and emotional challenges.
{Dream Builder Exercise: By exploring the sensations and responses associated with the visualization of my ideal life, I am better able to evaluate choices on the basis of the feelings I experience. I think that this filter may help me create my desired circumstances more easily than if I relied solely on an intellectual evaluation.}

Catch (up) of the day:
Today I finally got to listen to Ocean’s interview. When he spoke about how he chewed on the barbie foot along with his autistic son and that allowed him to establish contact, that reminded me of “mirroring”, where one person adopts the same body positions as the person they’re talking with to make them more comfortable. So I tried it with my toddler (she loves to put her toys to her ear, like it’s a telephone, and say “daddy!” when he’s away at work). I put a plush piggy to my ear and she smiled from ear to ear when she saw me! So cool to enter her universe!
I loved his wish for women to understand that we are enough as we are. We so often try to be more, do more, earn more, as if we weren’t existing enough. That was very grounding for me.
Today I did my exercises freakishingly late again (arghhh it’s so hard to change a routine! I was able to get them done before dinner twice and here I am now past midnight… 7 o’clock will ring pretty soon!). I did a decent job though with 70 seconds one-legged WS on each side, 78 seconds plank push-ups and 95 seconds sit ups.
I just love coming here and I haven’t been consistent in listening to the calls (I’m still missing 2). At least I haven’t missed a single day for the exercises! I love this community so much that I’m coming here just for the fun of it. I wouldn’t actually WANT to go to Mexico this May because my daughter is still much too little. So I’m really just coming back here because we’re able to share something so much fun and it’s much better than doing all of this on my own! Love to you all xxx

I’m downloading the call of Carrie Myton and I’m so excited to listen to it!
Tonight I’ll teach in a seminar about conscious eating and I’m getting ready for it, packing things, printing manuals and all the stuff..
I’ll post my comments here tomorrow.
Now I go back to my exercises and I’m very proud of my results:

I listened to Carrie’s call last night, and I realized 20 minutes into the call that as great of a salesperson as I am, when it comes to what I do, I always instinctually offer it free of charge, faintly hoping that someone will offer to pay!! This is a pretty deep revelation, because it shows me what my underlying belief is: ‘healers and mystics must live in poverty and without material abundance to serve’.
Now, I don’t believe that consciously, but clearly, on an unconscious level I have dogma! so, WISHful women, you are the first to know I break this vow. To serve at a higher level, and to attach true worth to my gifts, I ask for money!!

Great that you declared your commitment out loud to this community, Ashleigh. It will help to bring it to fruition. I think women have a harder time feeling the monetary value of their work because we’ve been doing housework and childrearing work for free for centuries and it has not been valued by the people who benefit from it or by society as a whole.

I could really relate to Carrie. I was raised on books like How to Win Friends and Influence People, and was running lemonade stands and selling books from an early age. Even with all that, I find that when I’m not in “full business mode”, like the past 2 years while I’m focusing on being a mama, that I somehow don’t feel worthy of charging when I do work. Instead of charging clients, I find myself giving sessions away for free ~ which feels GREAT, and I receive a lot back in return…BUT, I know that the reason I’m doing it is because I don’t feel I deserve the money when I’m only working here and there. I’m not sure if that even makes sense, but I can definitely feel that I have some things to consider and some worthiness work to do!

Yep, that asking for more money thing has been a toughie in my business life as well, as has sticking to my guns when people ask me to lower my rates. Money is such a loaded issue in our society, and it brings up so many emotions in most of us, from fear and shame if you don’t have it to a sense of security and even smugness if you do (to name but a few emotions).
Thanks for sharing that awesome e-mail, Tera. That kind of feedback must make it all just soooooo worthwhile, n’est-ce pas?

Exercises for today: one-legged wall sit: 71 seconds on each leg; 100 (!!!!!) seconds sit ups and then a miserable performance, 15 seconds less than yesterday for the plank/push ups. Let’s just celebrate the sit ups then!!! And the fact that I DID my routine again today!!! <:-)

Whereas, I could have listened to Ocean Robbins or Lynne Twist all day, I thought Carrrie alone was having trouble getting her thoughts across, but then came Tera to the rescue! Tera was able to help to get her point across, make it interesting for us and bring it around to not the materialism of money but the abundance – thank you Tera, once again for your skills – not only to able to put this summit together, but to bring out the best in someone else!

Nicole Jardim is a great complement to Alexandra Pope’s work.
I have had Endometriosis since 2007 (when I decided to go off the pill once and for all) and I know that there is an epidemic of hormone imbalances in women.
It is not addressed by mainstream medicine. My hormone imbalances have led to serious neurological issues, and I am on the path to healing these issues with food, guidance and intuition.
I appreciate Nicole’s work, especially since I have two daughters and I am committed to seeing them embrace their periods. Period

Catch-up day for me. I just listened to Brigitte Mars and I could have listened to her all day. The time just flew by. I loved her idea of creating a personal Empowerment Chart of 10 healthy things to do each day of the week. It would serve as an easy reminder to put ourselves first before taking care of everyone else. And the other thing that really stood out for me in this interview was the 5 areas to look at when something is ailing you, and the order she put them in: First look at your emotions, then your diet, then use herbs, then supplements, and, if the above hasn’t worked, then turn towards drugs and surgery. I think that’s just brilliant!

I love that Nicole is specializing in women and horomones! I grew up with a lot of chronic issues and miserable periods, all dealt with with drugs that caused more chronic issues of course! Ugh. It is such a sad state that this is the reality of “solutions” available to us. Grrr! I had a similar awakening in my early 20′s when I made some amazing, health conscious friends that changed my life in so many ways. And the learning continues! I just completed Tera’s 21 day green smoothie detox, and realized how much gluten was dragging me down! I have a confession…I honestly thought the droves of people jumping on the “gluten-sensitivity” bandwagon must be largely psychosomatic! Well my symptoms have been SO dramatic, that I am now on the band wagon! Amazing how perspectives change with personal experience, eh?
It really is so important that we take responsibility and get in communication with our bodies. I love that we’re talking about all of this, and that the word is spreading!

I used to be the same, scoffing at people’s gluten intolerances and food allergies, etc., but then I got really sick with labyrinthitis for a year and I finally found my solutions in natural remedies, energy balancing, dramatically changing my diet (eliminating wheat, dairy, sugar, MSG), and switching to non-toxic body care and cleaning products. I got well again. Experience is a great teacher….

Gluten is insanely tough on my system too. I would always feel tired after eating and let’s just say I would eat bread or pasta or some form or another of gluten-containing “foods” at most meals. I thought this was normal and would rely on coffee to keep me awake and working after lunch.
After I had eliminated gluten from my diet for a few weeks, I attended a family lunch where pasta with bread and a white cake were being served. After lunch we had to drive to Montréal to meet other people. I was the one driving since I knew directions better but then the gluten kicked in and I almost fell asleep at the wheel! Any subsequent times I tried and ate some gluten containing foods, it again acted like a very powerful sleep pill to me.
Another issue with this is how it makes my skin cracked, dry and lifeless. My family still thinks I like to act different. Now I don’t feel like I need to prove them anything though!!!!

I have a question, Veronique, since I’m new to this gluten-free world. When you do eat it, how quickly do you notice, and how long does it last? I ate pasta for the first time in a month this past Sunday at my parents (pasta and bread actually), and I felt run down Monday and then REALLY run down Tuesday. Then better today. Just wondering what others experience around this. Thanks!

Me, I usually feel it within half a day. Say I have wheat for supper, I will inevitably wake up the next morning feeling completely stuffed up, like I have a cold, and then I feel dopey all day. Like I have a cotton head. For me, this could last a couple of days but I think it’s very individual.

Today I listened to Carrie’s interview and completely agree with Lori. Although I did get some very good points out of the interview (like a few post it notes here and there!) I was mainly once again impressed by Tera’s outstanding interviewing skills. She is the best at making others look their best.
Today I did 71 seconds wall sit one each leg, then 75 seconds plank/push-ups (almost back at my all-time high score of 78) and 101 seconds sit ups. Only once more to go through and that will be 40!

Carrie’s call definitely rocked my world!
And put me in a cave…the cave I get into when I need to think about some issues and this call was my wake up call!
And the “simple” concept of asking for money is not that “simple”; I would say that is easy but not simple and all her words make me wanting to model her.
When confronted with serous issues about money and survival, I agree with both Carrie and Tera, we gotta do what we gotta do and keep moving.
This is, by far, the most confronting call for me and the most important, and I’m so grateful for all the tips inside it, which I will put into action.
The equation BE DO HAVE is another huge light at the end of the tunnel, opposed to the HAVE DO BE equation that we believe is true.
And it has a lot to do with the concept of not being enough to, not being good at, etc.
I will act on the new principles that Carrie speaks about.
Thank you very much!

Up bright and early to start the preparation for the juice cleanse with my sister!
It’s time to release the old, gunky energies, emotions, toxins, and junk in my trunk!
I have done a 3 day cleanse before, but it was a vanity thing: this is motivated by something deeper! (and some sisterly solidarity!) I saw on the FB page that Nicole Daedone’s call was linked to last year’s recording in error, so Tera is going to post this year’s call with her soon. Yay! A double dose!
As far as the fitness challenge goes, I have seen my numbers decrease from the beginning, but I realized that this has everything to do with some emotional stuff I am not dealing with. Now that I am aware of this, I have compassion for myself, and I am ready to let go and be in my body fully again! VERY inspiring numbers and progress, ladies!

Everything that helps with that, is important in my book!

Boy oh boy, that interview with Burt was mind-bending, wasn’t it? I’m thrilled about the fact that he makes very lofty subjects like spirituality and quantum jumping and even relationships so simple. The perspective of needing to be in a place of zero emotion in order to be able to heal is very new to me. However, given that we are human beings who are naturally emotional, did anyone understand how we are supposed to get to that place of zero emotion?

Soooooo… This is the 40th time I performed those exercises. I have to say that on day 1 I actually did them twice because I only listened to Pete’s interview on the second day. Still I did it 40 times without interruption which is a never-seen-feat around here!!! Tonight my numbers were all down, as I said it hasn’t been the best day ever and I’m getting an itch in my throat. zzzzzz should fix this!

I loved Kyle Cease”s call. because it was such a fresh and funny perspective: a spiritual comedian?! I can’t think of anyone better to be the pioneer in this field than Kyle! the interaction between Tera and Kyle was fabulous, and I look forward to listening to this year’s call today!!Burt is a wonderful storyteller: he reminded me that many of the ideas that I believe in have been gestating for decades.

Kyle Cease, what an interesting mix of spirituality and comedy. He really walks his talk because the interview just flowed out of him and it was so interesting. So many things to take away from this call, but what struck me the most was the technique of talking about an upcoming event (i.e. a job interview that’s making you nervous) in past tense as if it has already happened and it was really successful and you nailed the job. And then, when you go into the interview, you will be in this relaxed, confident mode and what you had just created in your mind will transpire because of your state of confidence. You can apply this technique to anything you would like to create. Just talk about it as if it has already happened. Be, do, have, as Tera said. Any of you lovely Sisters of Wish interested in going to his 3-day event in L.A. in July? Could be fun. I’m mulling it over.

Kyle is profoundly wise AND hilarious! What a combination. I was a bit confused by it at first, but I really love it. I think BECAUSE he’s so funny, he makes transformation talk more accessible. I felt so much joy listening to his call! I would love, love, love to attend his event, wheels spinning….
I truly feel like Kyle is the type of person I could learn so much from. I am very aware of my voice and my efforts to control it. I actually used to be way more at ease than I am these days, and it feels like that should be the opposite! I guess that’s why I’ve so fully embraced WISH. I don’t necessarily “have” the time, but I’m making the time, because I need it for me right now. I desire it for me! I just need to remember, I am not seeking love, I AM love! I am complete as is. And everything I dream about HAS already happened! So time to talk about it as if that’s so. I love that.

Day 37
Thank you, Kyle and Tera, for the warm, witty, insightful interview. The call you two did last year was one of my favorites, and I thought that this one was even better. I am especially grateful for the mini-seminar on the Art of Letting Go. The perspective on the two inner voices was helpful for me, and I appreciated the tips for the Past Tense (Kylego) Exercise.
These were some of my biggest lessons from this call:
You need to discover in yourself how to be so good that people can’t take their eyes off you.
See problems as opportunities to learn and grow.
Vulnerability can be powerfully attractive.
Don’t try. Just start.
Live in alignment with what you want.
How much goodness am I willing to experience today?
Bravo!

What’s so funny is that, in last year’s interview, he told a story at the beginning about how the MCs at comedy clubs always introduce him as Kyle Crease.

That’s hilarious Lidia….Thks for pointing that out – i will check out last years call as i have not had a chance to do that …things happen for a reason and paths are opened – also want to watch all the video clips Tera mentioned while she soulfully giggled through her words – sounds like good fun. HA! PS carrying on from our recalling attending the 3day event with Ashleigh – one other ‘gut busting’ laugh was that skit that Tera & Kyle did with the apple – still riding on that laughter.

I really appreciated Kyle’s freshness and sunshine in a grey day around here. I like Ashleigh’s “spiritual comedian” tag, it feels appropriate!!! I had listened to the interview last year during WISH and liked him alot.
Today I took a day off exercise. I’m wondering what I’ll do tomorrow, I feel like switching things around a bit to keep things interesting!

Today is my daughter’s 8th birthday. It is one of those times in my life where I am humbled by the beauty and abundance of love in my life. And, if there is anyone who can teach me the magnetism of vulnerability, it is my daughters.
I was overwhelmed by Kyle Cease’s sense of humour and authenticity. He was right, we need real and raw. It inspired me to change the voice of my writing for the next session of my Animal Meridians course. Now is sounds like ME, pink highlights and leopard print booties included!

I recall when they were 6 & 8 and 8 & 10 yrs old. Pretty precious times – enjoy their view of life & share with them what you hold dear…it will come back to you 10000000000000 X over as they take on the world & on their own path . life is amazing that way.

I’m impressed by Mastin’s maturity around a subject that, let’s be honest, often befuddles men in their 20′s and even 30′s! So many great take-aways from this call. I loved that Mastin said that the quality of your life is directly related to the amount of uncertainity you can live with. I am a big believer in Stretching, and fully agree that life begins at the edge of our comfort zone! And I also fully agree that when you make an earnest stretch from your heart, the universe rewards you tenfold. Yay for stretching and yay for receiving!
I also loved when talked about choosing to live from a consciously biased, love-based position….I’d say that’s truly the only bias worth being righteous about! Great call, thank you again Tera!

And literally 10 minutes after the call I had an opportunity to ask for money, and I DID. SO yay!I’m really sad that this summit is coming to and end soon, it SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FREAKING AMAZING. I feel so supported and connected to this amazing community.

Still busy at work and with the seminars, so I have many calls to listen to.
I listened to Burt’s call and I’m impressed by his wisdom!
What I loved is when he speaks about the intention and the detachment from the result…is just like “make a wish and then let it go, so it can happen” kind of thing.
I’m creating a to-do list, and there are “rules” from every speaker, one line each and the “rule” from Burt is definitely “detach yourself from the result”
The 40 rules will be my guide for life and I’m pretty excited about that
[Reply]
By susanna on Apr 20, 2013
Still overwhelmed by Kyle Cease sense of humour! I like his voice and his simplicity, which s a great asset
In my list of the 40 rules I got from WISHsummit, those qualities are definitely two basic principles for enhancing my life!
Or, as he suggests, for my brilliant, lucky, wonderful life that I had and enjoyed so much

I managed to listen to Mastin’s call while juicing my heart out yesterday! 8 minutes in, I dropped everything, ran to my computer and posted on Tera’s FB page! I have been a subscriber to the Daily Love for about a year now, and Mastin is always a source of authenticity and progress for me: but his vision for his own life, and the path he is intending for his purpose is amazing! It prompted me to consider what I am really giving to the world as a mother, and a channel…and what is the highest vision I could hold that would support love?
[Reply]
By Beth on Apr 20, 2013
It is such a treat to hear Tera and her “sisters” coming together to share their wisdom, hearts and love. So beautiful! My sisters are my everything, and its always a joy to witness other women in the divine grace that only sisterhood can allow.
I’ll have to ask my mom where that comes from, but I grew up with “cancel, cancel” as well! Taking a moment to cancel out the negative thought patterns is incredibly freeing. It opens up the doors for more to be possible, and I always feel like I have more room to breathe when I remember to push the pause button!
While my kiddos are still under 5, I loved listening to the ways Jennifer related to her children around money and their desires. First, is it life-giving? If so, and she doesn’t have/ desire to spend her money on it, working together on a solution! I have already caught myself telling my 5 year old many times that “we don’t have the money for that.” Time to shift that conditioned response to a vision based response!
I also loved learning that we reach our spiritual maturity at 37…I’m turing 35 in a month, and that bit of knowledge has me really looking forward to all the growth and expansion that awaits my next few years!

Catch up call for me again this morning with that ocean of devotion, Ocean Robbins. This guy made my jaw drop. I didn’t expect such depth and wisdom and understanding of women, but this is a guy who just truly gets it, all of it: life, women, the world, not pushing our views onto anyone, leading by honouring the differences in those around us, and so on. We women are enough just as we are and within this enoughness we find peace and become more beautiful and more radiant and within this enoughness is the seed or infinite possibility, radical transformation of ourselves and the world we live in. Makes me weep with joy

Jennifer Jimenez’s call totally solidified for me the critical concept of exploring infinite possibilities through vision – based loving [of oneself and others]& which in the end does so strongly ignite self determinism [as Tera calls it]. Interesting reasoning behind ‘know – look – feel – think’ – i found that rationale clarified much for me. Tera & Jennifer are such soul sisters & that is sweetly demonstrated abundantly thoughout the call. thank you for sharing your inter-connections and your belief in one-another.

I felt I did not need to know about the Robbins, snce I had read John’s book, and was so familiar with his work. But, hearing Ocean’s story about his autistic twins, and how he has been affected by them, just moved me so much. What an incredible being he is!
I followed the Kaufmans with their son; read and saw Son-Rise, which was awesome, and how successful Raun has become.
I have read Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride’s book, Gut and Psychology Syndrome, in which she tells of her success with her autistic son, and the successes the diet has had with so many types of illnesses. I’m sure Ocean must know about that.
I am so inspired with Ocean’s and John’s work … words cannot reveal. Humbly I say thank you.

Mastin Kipp had quite a few goodies in there, it was hard to keep up!

Completed the rest of Mastin Kipp’s call …i really really was pleased that he presented the ‘noble’ healing concept, how forgiveness can exist & the heart can be healed from the past when the victim is totally not responsible for that action which caused the
hurt…so important to cover that point for so many many reasons in this world today. The interesting point he raised that it is possible that some folks could approach the WISH calls like ‘tv entertainment & then it is over & you just go on with life’ i would debate & counter [he was playing the devils advocate i think] – as after this WISH is over i strongly feel that even a most closed off individual – once fearful or unprepared to take a first step – that person would somehow experience even a small crack in their shell – that would begin to let the light in – really once that happens there is no going back. Tera – every unknown impact is worth that small crack!!! Like in cement the tiniest crack can sprout a new green shoot. i love the unknown & infinite possibilities WISH presents – awesome.

I wholeheartedly agree, Laurie, that this is not just spiritual entertainment even if you don’t end up doing anything different right away. I think just hearing these calls and concepts and ideas would penetrate even the most thick-skinned person and begin to let the light in, as you said so beautifully. And this is bound to have an impact on how they live their lives on every level. I loved your positive take on that comment.

I want to practice some of the principles I have learned…and leave others for the time being!

I feel that all the insights from this Summit are slowly setting, slowly showing me my new path.
I learn forgiveness, for myself and for others and this is so valuable.
…and the wish of Ocean Robbins for women is so sweet, as he is!

Whooo! I am one grumpy bunny this morning! I can feel the gremlins of negativity clamouring for attention!
I popped over to SARK’s website and listened to an interview she did with Hay House. I find her very intriguing, and I look forward to watching her video series. She seems very generous of spirit!
Incidentally, I asked her black cat oracle a question: “how can I leave?” and he answered, alone is safe! That is an answer supercharged with love and a connection to SARK’s community. I am going to practice extreme self care today to quiet the gremlins down and get to a better place of receiving. Have a lovely day WISHful women!

David Wolfe’s passion for superfoods is so evident ~ he gets giddy like a child when talking about them. So awesome!
I remember when I was introduced to David through my studies at IIN, and felt like a new door of possibilities was blown wide open. I have been a superfood fan ever since! I’m good with my adaptagenic herbs and my diet, but feel like I’ve got some work to do on my insurance policy. From David’s call and Nadine’s, it is very clear that I need to start Iodine! And I was fascinated by his discussion of sea salt and allergies/ adrenal fatigue. Who would have thought? I’ve already been spreading the word to some friends who’s kids have lots of allergies and asthma.
I think I could listen to David talk for hours on end…hmmm, I guess that means I should take him up on that incredible offer for his wellness kit! Incredible.
…………….
I know I’m way beyond 40 days on my exercises, but I’ll keep posting on the days of the calls. These 2 exercises have been easily added to my routine first thing in the morning, and they really replace my need for my morning cup of coffee! Admittedly, I’d stopped coffee during my 21 day detox, so I’m no longer craving it, but these exercises really get me going in the morning!

David Wolfe rocks!
As always, this man is full of surprises and insights and I’m so glad for his commitment to share them!
His call is in pause on my iPod, I went here to write a quick comment about him: I give seminars about conscious eating and I work in the filed of the personal growth.
we are already doing personal growth (I hope my english makes sense as I’m translating from italian and my thoughts are fast now because I love this topic very much and I’m dedicated to it)
When we choose another way to eat and nourish ourselves, eating superfood, organic food, cooking food at home (or not cooking food, as in raw food
David Wolfe is doing a great work for us to create a new consciousness about the way we eat; you two are doing a great work for raising consciousness! Thank you very much for this.
…and now I go back to my iPod
I wish all of the women here a wonderful day and I hug you from Italy!

Hi Ladies!
I want to drop a few lovebeams here, it’s been a few days since I came and as usual the joyful comments overflew and spilled all over my keyboard!
I am happy that I was able to stick to my 40 days of fitness and now I’m really focusing on work work work. Took a tiny break last night to listen to David Wolfe and he was the best ever, as usual. His words are a superfood in themselves. Loved it, as always!

David Wolfe: I’ve always had an aversion to eating mushrooms because of their slimy texture when cooked, but after hearing this talk, I’m going to try the chaga and reishi mushroom tea because he said it was delicious (as my immune-system-boosting strategy) and add chlorella to my diet (as my insurance policy), and will add the two herbs he mentioned at the end (horsetail and nettle) to my tea blend (the one I got from Tera and Jonathan’s Herbal Course for Women). Does anyone know how to make tea from mushrooms? Do you just boil for 10 minutes like a root decoction? And did anyone get the long list of mushrooms David put in his mushroom tea? I got chaga, reishi, foliata, blue oyster… ? (and that’s all I understood, the rest sounded like Latin names). I must admit I was quite bamboozled by a lot of his chemical and techical explanations (they went right over my head today), but I did write down the strategies and their respective superfoods, so I have the bare essentials of his great talk. Thanks David.

Lidia…wow you provided great notes right in your entry ! detail that i had certainly missed & really only caught on a second listen. so saved this call for more time, focus & replays as he is so wildly passionate & full of planetary ‘data & detail’ – his talk was almostly overwhelming or overwildling even. Tera did sweetly convince him to provide more explanation so there is much to get from his further details. sorry i cannot fill in the blanks for you – i think his ‘youtubes’ would also be a great place to start out for more detail. His book on Superfoods is also such a great resource….check it out as it appears to be incredibly well researched etc with plenty of identified references if is desired.

Adding to my comments to Lidia above who so well documented the data & the findings from David Wolfe’s call – juice daily with beets, celery, cucumber and lemon! & checkout Dr. Andrew Saul – doctor yourself [books & website] & yes check out if you live where wild horsetail & nettles exists and find out how to harvest & use. David was super stoked to tell us so much about what he has learned over the years that we may have missed a few key points but wow it packed a wild punch. enjoy your listening & be prepared to pause so you can catch it all. thks Tera

We got a new computer last night and the keys are so slippery! I think it is because of the lack of gummy, sticky kidprints!
I am going to listen to David Wolfe again today, as I found him so effervescent and informed! He is a supernova of nutrition and I loved learning so much about iodine, salt and supplements. I want to take notes this time around, so I can pick and choose what to work with right now…..ooh this computer is going to present a learning curve!

Day 39.9
Thank you, Shana and Tera, for sharing your genuine, heartfelt conversation. I was blessed by your discussions of the fear of loss, the consequences of “must-have” and “can’t-have” thinking, the power of communicating who we are and how we feel, and the complaint-desire exercise.

I don’t think I’m going to stop smiling for quite some time after the joy of hearing Tera riff with a dear friend of mine, miss Shana James! Talk about the best surprise ever! I had no idea Shana was part of this WISH Summit! While I haven’t stayed in contact with a lot of my friends from the Bay Area since I moved to Austin 2 years ago (life with 2 kids and another on the way is just a tad busy!
~ but regardless, she is a sister of mine who have so much love, respect and admiration for.
So much wisdom in Shana’s ideas and exercises. Like the art of asking for things in such a way that invites others to co-create with you…practicing JUST receiving, and really letting it flow in….learning to ask for the specific attention you desire…shifting the focus to what you desire rather than what is bothering you (complaints)…all such heart opening and beautiful practices. Lots of work to do! Thank you Shana & Tera, what a joy to hear you two conversing!
My heart feels so full! Time to make a phone call!

Call with Shana James was so very sweetly focusing on how to always be our own personal cheerleaders while perfecting the finesse of being able to seek support of others even when we feel the discomfort of being at our most vulnerable [i.e that we are not good enough or strong enough or even just feeling the pressure of what others think of us & their expectations] . WOWWISH
What was touched on by this call solidified for me how important it is for us to recognize & use our many abilities, gifts & talents to hold onto our strength of conviction & how any deep personal success [leading to a satisfied soul] actually comes from investing all your hard work [blood sweat and tears] into what you love to do – it has the greatest return & can be best measured by a life full well lived. Tera & Shana personify ‘What you love to do will always reward you’!!!! those who are drawn to that ‘part of you’ you love are the ones you can seek support from.
A simple suggestion to look at what we each have or see as a ‘complaint’ about a situation or circumstance or what we feel we are lacking or see as a shortcoming of where we are and where we want to be….& recognize that the shortfall can actually be the opportunity for us to take the time to express our desire of what we really want/need & this totally leads to a different world of communication of ourselves with others and our observations of others. Shana tells us that by being authentic to ourselves & expressing what we need does totally inspire others & when we maintain strength of conviction this gives us the clarity & strength to ask for what we want & need. It is also this conviction that draws out those who ‘get us’ & they in turn really want to find a way to support us make it happen for us….very cool to hear this call & all the real life sharing these sisters have for us.

Learning to be with the discomfort and awkwardness of vulnerability when asking for what you want and to withstand and stay open in the face of any visceral feelings that come up as a result, such as tears or that sick feeling in your stomach or a twisting feeling in your chest. Boy oh boy, now this is something worth mastering in life. Whenever I’ve managed to do this in the past, it has been like leaping into the unknown. Scarey as hell, but worth it, really worth it in the end. I also really appreciated the example Shana gave of how to frame a complaint in a more loving way. So often, it’s hard to know how to express something that’s bugging us about our partner, so we stuff it down and then, as Tera said, it comes out as criticism. One way or another, it will come out, so best to say it in a loving way.

Well, we have almost reached the end of our journey together, (at least in terms of these 40+ days!)
This is a being who is the wisest, kindest person I know. She is also unbelievably beautiful…I have never felt so powerless. This is the way I felt, the way I still feel about myself, yet no one ever knows that when they meet me. Thanks to Shana James, I remembered, as I held my little girl, that she had felt this way, even though she had grown up with loving supportive parents. Because of Shana I didn’t board the self blame train! What I did tell my daughter was that it is safe to share these feelings, that she is, for now, wearing a pair of glasses that she can see everyone else through with love, but that these glasses are all wrong for her because when she looks at herself through them they show her the opposite of truth and love. I promised her we will walk this path to self love together, that she doesn’t have to change or fix herself, that when she has a thought like those nasty ones, that she can ask me, “is it true?’ and I will allow her to look through my glasses, so she can see the real vision. I told her that we will make her new glasses, so she can see herself through eyes of love…
For me, this past day and night has been the most humbling 24 hours I have ever experienced as a mother. I consider this to be a place of great opening, despite the fact that the surface reality is heartwrenching: last night, after a dress rehearsal for her first ever dance competition, my 8 year old daughter and I discussed the fact that she never smiles when she’s on stage. She burst into tears and told me she looks ugly when she smiles and that she is a hunk of junk
I am grateful to Tera, to WISH, to Shana James, and to all of you beautiful ladies! This is coming to light so we can heal together (where we are wounded, we’re gifted) and it is no small coincidence that my daughter’s shame came apart at this point, after so many days and nights of growth for me.
Much much love to all of you! May you see through eyes of love, and check the prescription on your own glasses, just in case!!

Oh Ashleigh, these are the moments of being a conscious parent that I imagine are the most challenging. My kids are still under 5, but I remember my feelings of insecurity and feeling less-than as a child and teen so well, despite having the most beautiful and loving parents. Being young in this world is just hard!
Having a wise and loving mama like you will undoubtedly make the journey smoother for her.I love that you let her look through your glasses! I hope she did get a glimpse of the radiant beauty she is. She’s a lucky girl to have you as a mama! Sending love and hugs.

I sent you a reply yesterday, Ashleigh, but it got cut off by a fatal error message when I pressed Submit and then I couldn’t get back on the blog until this morning. It seems like the system scrapped it. I can’t remember what I said, but I was very touched by your message. Your response to your daughter’s insecurity about herself and her looks was awesome and right on target. She’s very lucky to have as wise and as evolved a mother as you, and with you guiding her along the road of life, she’ll be able to handle anything that comes her way. You done good, girl!! And here’s to us all looking at life through love-tinted glasses!!

Yesterday I had an amazing day at the seminar of my friend and today I have had the chance to put what I learned into action…and it worked sooo well I’m outrageously happy!
…and tpday’s call is really the icing of the cake!
I’m so grateful because of everything I’m learning from life and from this Wish; this last call, Shana’s, taught me how to “reverse” or to express my complaints into a different way, one more respective and gentle.
Life is giving me hard moments right now and this capacity is something I really need. To be able to say what I want to say, in a different way.
We are almost at the end of pur 40 days journey and I’d love to stay in touch with all of you; this community here is amazing…
Thank you all for all the words you wrote here, for all the sharings..this place is really a good place to spend time and smiles
Grazie!

Sounds great, Susanna. I’m so happy you’re able to use what you’re learning here to deal with your difficult times. Another person who talks about the concept of “beneath every complaint is a desire” is Harville Hendrix only he phrased it as “your frustration is a wish in disguise”. He talks about asking for what you “do want” rather than complaining about what you “don’t want”. He’s written a number of books on ending negativity, criticism and blame in relationships. He’s very good too.

Need to listen to SARK 2012 call first as i tried most of this call but i am a bit lost jumping onto her planet without the backstory….am very happy to hear what she is saying & do not want to miss the essence of what she is offering of herself & her insights….sounds like SARK has been through a metamorphesis herself which is very cool so will need to post again tomorrow after both calls have filled me with all those colors posted on SARKs website. have a great sleep all after the fullness of the moon last night – amazingly powerful. Tera did you plan that?

I am so blessed to have journeyed through this summit with you beautiful ladies. I feel like the leaky vessel of my soul has not only been filled to the brim (and overflowing really!), but more importantly, that the leak has been plugged. It’s been leaking for quite some time, and it feels so amazing to feel like myself for the first time in a LONG time. A better version of myself, in fact! I could go on and on…such gratitude for Tera, the speakers and all of you!!!!
And SARK! So delicious. My roommates in college and I were so obsessed with SARK, and read her book, Succulent Wild Women in our book club, and had her poster on our kitchen wall. I remember when we were unpacking after our move to Austin 2 years ago, and my husband unrolled this old poster. He asked why I kept something so beat up and fading. Are you kidding? Because it’s SARK…and because it symbolizes a time with my best girlfriends I never want to forget!
What pure joy to hear SARK’s journey in LOVE. To adore and be adored! That is what it is all about.
I loved the discussion of our 5 non-negotiables. I think that if we all had established that clearly and discussed it prior to marriage, there would probably be a lot less divorce in this world!
And I think my favorite part was the nibbling on each others ears comments! Divine & delicious indeed! Or wait, maybe my favorite part was hearing Sebastian’s rock-star story! The apple clearly doesn’t fall far from the tree!
LOVED it.
What a beautiful way to wrap up WISH. SARK’s wish for women to be drenched in self love and actived by an epowered inner wise self….I think that really sums up what all the calls have been about.
I am so, so grateful. THANK YOU for being the gorgeous and gifted goddess that you are, Tera! Overflowing in love….

Oh my goodness Tera – while i read your email this morning i realized that you were now holding space for us to enjoy our ‘prom’ & preparing us for the real world,,,,not sure how i feel about that – mostly excited while sprinkled with vulnerability but somehow i feel fine in my recycled thrift shop emerald green brocade 30′s style dress & my barefeet gently placed into my 30yr old beaded moccasins – hair long/loose/curly/hi-liting shiny slightly grey tendrils & just pinned off my face. I feel ready I feel anxious I feel excited I feel radiant – emotional smoothie & I will drink it deep. The sweetest anticipation for me is that after reading all the sisters notes above I know that we will all share the same sweet ceremony – looking & feeling our best – while we each paint our pictures and proceed to walk into our own beautiful murals. The vision I have is pretty glorious – somehow in my mind I imagine it looks like Mexico & the sun is so heavenly warm – no parka is needed – no hats or mitts in sight. Our dancing in the sand is so much fun. Deep gratitude to you Tera for all your devotion to us & our journey – for the challenges you shared with us. Thank you WISH guests for authentic sharing of your stories & your knowledge. Awesome energy to all our sister participants & sweet wishes for the support you desire & shared blessings to each of the commitments we made to ourselves for each of our new adventures in the future. WISH rocked!

Sark’s call is the best finale ever!
I want to listen and listen again to it…I don’t know what I like most…there is so much content in this one call!!
Maybe her wish for women is what makes me dreaming and believing that we all can have that: the magic, the power, the grace and the LOVE we all deserve!
I visited her website and Sark’s cat told me “Time for adventure” and what better time for starting an adventure than this?
Thank you Tera for this 40 days full of adventures inside myself, discovering my gifts and the strenghths to go towards my dreams and making them a reality!
Thank you to all the Wish sisters and for every word you posted here.
I love your stories, I am the cheerleader of all of you, you rock!
