Happy New Year. 2012 is here and the energies are in full force. This is our time to really step into our power. Feel Empowered within ourselves and speak our truth from our hearts with love. We have been all moving through the layers of shedding the old and now we can be our true essence of who we came here to be.

I have many clients come to me who say that they are stressed. I ask what are you stressed about? they answer "family issues and members of the family who are not making right choices."

Be the powerful being that you are - focus on the outcome you choose to have and put energy into that and be the strong beacon of light for your family and they will eventually see your light and learn other ways of being.

By worrying, stressing or getting upset about their behaviours is not feeding them with positive energy. they make their own choices and decisions. you cna hold space for them with love and shine your light and energy on what you choose to have.

Be at Peace in this space and love what is.

Happy New Year and I wish you many blessings of joy, love, laughter, happiness and bliss for you

Sonoma Mission Inn Spa is managed by Fairmont Hotels and located in the wine country in Northern California. It has natural herbal hot springs and the Spa has been well known for the bathing ritual. For more information go to www.fairmont.com/sonoma. I have started doing my bodywork and energywork for the guests who book in at the Spa. It is a beautiful location and I am happy to share my services with the clientel who stay there. I share many different techniques which is a good introduction for people to try my services there. I am also offering my services in Marin County and have a clinic in San Rafael.

Today being 9/9/11 is my one year anniversary. This time last year I arrived in the USA. Wow many changes since then! I have collected lots of personal stories to share with my audiences! I am now up to my 4th move of house! Lucky I travel light. I am now moving to Sonoma as I am also working at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn Spa to share my energy and light. It is a beautiful location with the natural mineral pools. I will also be travelling to Marin to see my clients there and offer home visits and a couple of clinic days. For those who live 100mile radius qualify for the friends and neighbor spa day. check it out on the website www.fairmont.com/sonoma

I am on the road at present on my way to Seattle for a seminar for 2 weeks. Body Electronics and Meta Body Electronics based on Robert Stevenson's conscious language work. Very powerful work as we all move upscale and upgrade. I am also combining this into my coaching sessions and private bodywork clients. I did the Mastery course back in July and this seminar is another piece to learn as well as receive some work on me. It includes energywork and cranial which I incorporate in my sessions though my work will move upscale which is exciting to share with my clients.

I have noticed many people who are stressed, overwhelmed, feeling stuck, tired, unable to focus, sad and in chronic pain. I offering my energy work sessions to corporate executives and entrepreneurs to help them to sleep peacefully, feel relaxed, clarity, increased energy, better relationships, confidence and be pain free in their body.

Combining my natural gift with intuition I can tune into the individual to release the blocked energy from their body, this will increase their energy as well as increase the health of the internal organs as well. So many clients who have come to me over the years are surprised with the immediate results they receive from one session. I am passionate about what I can do for people and happy to be able to now help others in California with my gifts.

Along with my stress reduction techniques, chair massage is extremely helpful for employees to increase productivity and reduce sick leave. It is amazing how just 10 minutes can improve the energy, perspective and outlook for a person.

You have to experience it for yourself.

Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays.

This Christmas is very different to my Christmas in Australia as I am usually at the beach or enjoying the sunshine!!

It is now 3 months since we got here, so much happening all the time.

I have been busy going to many networking events and meeting people, making new friends. Marin is a conscious minded neighbourhood which I love. It is SO refreshing to be around like minded people. I have joined the Chamber of commerce, plus North Bay Coaches, they have asked me to be part of the board next year as treasurer so we have our first meeting on January 3. I also joined E-women who have a monthly lunch plus teleseminars of different speakers, this is a good network of women. I have been attending many different events and could easily filled my diary with meetings for breakfast, lunch & dinner though need to pace myself. I have joined the San Rafael BNI group which is a weekly lunch, my category is Life Coach which is great as I can integrate all my tools in a session.

I attended a national speakers event and they are a great bunch of people, I went to their holiday party which was fun. I want to collaborate with other inspirational speakers and professionals and create joint ventures.   I have been asked to do a radio interview on 17th January which is based in Washington DC, this will be good timing for my new website launch.

We had thanksgiving holiday. Penny & I went to a friend’s house for a turkey lunch which was so yummy.

I am teaching a workshop 29/30 January on shifting consciousness and will set up more in Marin county. 

I am giving 2 presentations on shifting consciousness to create the clarity for the new year. Go to the YMCA January 12 at Marin San Rafael & 17th at Novato. I will develop other topics and classes to offer there ie. self care, relaxation, meditation, breathing and centering classes.

My new website will be completed in the New Year. I want my message to be different, dynamic, and really hit home for people as well as bring in the Aussie humour and perspective and share our "No worries Mate" approach to life with the stressed people here. Once the website is online my PR/Mktg will go out full swing to corporate companies. It will be lindabenn.com.  Stay tuned.....

I did a day of chair massage for a corporate client in Redwood City which will now be every month as well as they want me to give an 1 ½ hr. presentation on self-care in the office so that will be fun. Penny came with me for the day and everyone loved her. She was great therapy for all the staff in the office.

I am moving house about 1 mile away from where I am now, this is exciting to start the New Year in a new energy to create and manifest all my goals. It will be a powerful year.

It has been an extremely busy, eventful and productive time since I arrived setting up a solid foundation for my business. I am determined to make a difference in this country even though there is so much doom & gloom with the economy. It is an opportunity for people to do things differently now and be open to change. I moved here for a reason and fulfilling my purpose. I love this community, I am connecting with my soul family and feeling so at home with the new connections I have made. I am meeting some amazing people and the family just continues to grow which is wonderful. There is always so much happening all of the time, life is very full though exciting.

I wish you many blessings of happiness, peace, joy, laughter and love.

Merry Christmas and best wishes for a fantastic 2011. It will be a truly powerful exciting year.

Linda's Update - I have returned to the USA to set up home and my business. It feels so good to be back and start my new life!

My time in Australia was a 6 week intense process getting all the documents together for the visa application. I stayed focussed as I had a lot of paperwork to prepare, writing the business plan, 5 year forecast, letters of intent from US companies, set up the company in California & all the tax, state requirements & bank accounts for the US . Then had to finish my tax in Australia and get through my list of things before I left the country.  My boxes in storage are on the ship coming over will be here in October. I had to sort through what I had left, pack it properly, label, number and physically take it all to the shipping yard myself & load onto pallets. This was a huge job. Luckily my friend took the day off work to help me.

I prepared all the documents myself without an attorney, this saved me thousands. J I had my interview with the US Consulate in Sydney on 25 August. My visa was approved on the day then I booked my ticket back straight away. I received my passport back and they have given me a 4 year visa – woohoo. I can create a lot in 4 years! I arrived in San Francisco on September 9 which is the date I predicted before I went back to Australia . It is so meant to be. J

Penny (my little daschound dog) flew on the same flight as me. The Customs staff were very friendly when I arrived which was a nice welcoming and again when I collected Penny from the cargo section. It is SO wonderful to have Penny here with me. It broke my heart leaving her in Australia before.

I bought a car within 48 hours of arriving. A Toyota Prius which is the car I wanted though this car had to get a patch on a leaking tire when I requested new tires. This didn’t feel right to me though Penny & I left for our road trip and drove to Yosemite, Mammoth Lakes and Las Vegas . I was going to take her to Grand Canyon & Sedona but we need time to stop & recharge. While I was in Las Vegas I had my tires checked by a tire company who said they were unsafe and I needed 4 new tires which I bought to drive back to the Bay. I returned the car to the car dealer and asked for my money back which he obviously didn’t want to do but I stood for what was right. He knew I was serious and about to report him so I received a full refund as well as the cost for the tires. I then went and bought another Toyota prius that afternoon which has only 32000miles and still under Toyota warranty so now very happy with my new car. Learning from that stick to what you want and not settle for second best.

I found the perfect house to share in Novato. It is a 3 bedroom townhouse and the owner/my housemate has given me 2 bedrooms to use so I can set up one as an office & to do my yoga – yay!! I also have my own bathroom which I really wanted as well. I manifested exactly what I wanted :)

I am now busy setting up a home office and getting settled. I have a long list of things to organise starting in a new country. It feels so good to unpack for the first time in 10 months. I have been living out of a suitcase since I left my home last November in Australia . It is all very exciting to start my business in the US as I reinvent myself. It is all part of my journey and the experience to share.

My cell phone and email will always remain the same so you can always contact online or by skype. I will be launching my new website soon which is Linda Benn.com this will be more corporate focussed for the market I will be working with.

I am organising workshops in Pellowah Healing, personal development, yoga classes, coaching, bodywork, and corporate training programs in stress management. If you are interested in any of my work please send me an email at linda@heartlightenergy.com 

I have finished my bachelor exam. The pressure has been on as I set a goal for 30 June which is today! yay. Complete!!

My yoga teaching training will be completed by July 11 which has been a 3 month course of combination of spiritual practices, meditation, chanting, Mantras, Japa, Sanskrit, yoga asanas and pranayama, it has been wonderful and the timing perfect - Of course! The timing is always perfect.

I will be flying back to Australia on July 19 for a couple of months while my investor visa application is processed. I will then return to the US to work with Corporate companies and staff helping with Stress Management, Postural & structural realignment, Relaxation & meditation, re-education for mental clarity to reduce stress and increase energy and feel the WOW - wealth of wellbeing. 

I continue to follow my heart and listen to my guidance. I feel there is a huge need for my services in the US as many people are feeling the effects of the economy and caught up in Fear. My mission is to help others focus on the positives in their life to create while feeling calm and in harmony with their life, trusting and having faith which is what my journey has confirmed more and more.

It is May & the time is flying. I am currently half way through the 200 hour Yoga Teaching Training Course which I am attending in Marin California. I love it, I have attended yoga retreats in the past and doing the teacher training is something I have always had on my list of things to do in this life! So now I am doing it!! Yoga makes my body sing, it is something I have always naturally done when growing up not knowing that all these positions were called different names and asanas and helped the body is so many positive ways. In the course I am learning sankrit, chanting, mantras, phylosophy and traditional yoga teachings which is all so fascinating. It is such a wonderful opportunity to be doing right now while I am visiting the US. I am also completing my bachelors as well so it feels great to be productive as well as active. I am currently living in the city at Nob Hill which is wonderful, I love it, the city is so alive! Meeting so many wonderful people, making new friends and connections.

I am so blessed and grateful for all new opportunities and people coming into my life.

Another Update - Well I am now in Canada. Flew into Vancouver which I enjoyed seeing the city again after 20 years. Then drove East to Banff had High Tea at the Fairmont Hotel in Banff which was a special moment to enjoy - the service & the beautiful view of the mountains, it is an amazing building. Visited Lake Louise which was frozen over for the skating. Stayed in Canmore about 20min. from Banff, great for hiking, so many wonderful trails to discover, I have to go back to do more hiking. Drove to Calgary to have a look at the city and stampeded out again, unless you are interested in the zoo or shopping not much there. Then drove back West to Whistler, wonderful drive across, so many beautiful lakes and views to take in - from blue/green lakes to a lake that is completely frozen over. Whistler has just finished the Olympics and the village is still buzzing. Went and enjoyed the Eagle Zip Lines which is so much fun, great adrenaline rush, the last run we could go upside down - woohoo! Also so many great walking trails around the lake and golf course. Back to San Francisco end of this week.

New Living Expo starts this Friday-Sunday in San Francisco which I am attending. It will be wonderful to meet so many awesome people.  

I am also enrolled for a yoga certification teaching training course for the next 3 months in San Francisco. Something I have always wanted to do, learning the traditional teachings, sankrit, mantras, chanting and philosophy.

Life is wonderful, I feel so blessed and grateful to experience all these wonderful gifts life has to offer, I am embracing it all on this journey.

I trust you are also enjoying your days and feeling blessed. Until next time. Be Happy & keep laughing
