The Iliaster Rose is a symbol of the divine spark within each of us. It represents the journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening and the eventual blossoming or growth one experiences when this spark is nurtured. Just as a rose blooms, so too does our inner light. The Iliaster is achieved through nurturing this spark to full enlightenment.
Iliaster is a term coined by Paracelsus referring to the [cosmic] essence. The Iliaster, literally means “the star in man.”
The beautiful rose, like the lotus, represents the unfoldment of the authentic self. It is the blossoming that occurs as one grows, transforms & enlightens.
By cultivating the Iliaster Rose, we can unlock our full potential, live more fulfilling lives, and contribute positively to the world.
~Preparation for Motivation & Achievement~
Are intentions better than resolutions?
First, a reminder that reflection is crucial to goal (intention) setting, If you missed my December 2024 post on that topic read it here.
Now, to answer the question … Yes! I feel Many of us set resolutions impulsively, only to forget their resolution and later feel crummy for not achieving it.
I invite you to try intention setting this year.
Creating intentions helps provides direction, motivation, and clarity.
In Beyond Positive Thinking by Dr. Robert Anthony, he writes that intentions should be specific, personal, positive, and trigger feeling. For example, "It is my intention to learn French so I can enjoy conversations with the locals during my trip to Paris this Summer"
A favorite tradition for visualizing intentions is to create a vision board a powerful tools consisting of collaged imagery, words, and quotes related to your intentions. Use this collage to meditate daily or reflect on occasionally or even absorb passively into your subconscious.
Either route, setting intentions for things you would like to achieve, experience, learn, or transform in 2025 will give you a sense of purpose. It will help you stay inspired and motivated. When we have direction and clarity, we are able to achieve more easily.
I teach vision board classes, and offer coaching should you feel you could use support for an intentional 2025.
Feeling sluggish after the holidays? A gentle detox can help you revitalize your energy.
If you're like most people, once November rolled around, you might have fallen out of balance. Taking a hiatus from physical activities, sitting and socializing more, enjoying less nutritious but delicious feasts, cozying up on the couch while indulging or worse stressing on holiday planning.

If that sounds like you, you may benefit from a gentle detox. Here are a few ideas to support your body's natural detoxification process:
Visit a vitamin shop, my fave is Down To Earth Nutrition, and get yourself some supplements, detox tea, or essential oils to help cleanse & restore the body.
