A Quest for Well-Being

— Throughout life, we experience many kinds of relationships. A commonly used descriptor in many of these connections is the word "friend." We use it to refer to everything from social media acquaintances to our spouses and "BFFs/besties." When someone is a friend, it can mean we have a deep and meaningful relationship with them, or it can mean we are simply familiar enough with them to feel a warm connection. But not every relationship is warm and pleasant all of the time. Sometimes even the closest of friendships can experience challenges due to misunderstanding what the friendship means to all parties, lack of appreciation for the friendship in its current state, misplaced expectations, or other conflicts. Because relationships can be challenging, it is helpful to step back and do a little defining of our circles of friendship. You can't be best friends with everybody, but you can have a meaningful relationship with almost anybody.

Letting one's eyesight transform into portals of a kaleidoscopic landscape, where you decipher the flow and disturbances of each human frame that sits in circle around you. Honoring the epic, insanely sacred responsibility of creating spiritual and physical safety for every being that surrenders themselves into your loving care. Holding court over a tribe of spiritual warriors, expressing the bravery of doing the deep, frightful inner work that allows each being to witness and integrate their shadows and their superheroes. Being the guide, the protector, the tone-setter. Working with the spirit world in sacred partnership. Developing immovable bonds with guides, totems, and guardians. Holding space for humans experiencing the horror and glory of an ego death and inevitable rebirth. Bringing them out the other side with grace and love. Managing freak outs, egoic projections, and all manner of outbursts. Knowing that everything is always unequivocally OK.

— Life is about stepping into our power as conscious creators to live the life we want to experience and enabling others to do the same. Valeria Teles interviews Meniyka Kiravell — she is an Online Holistic Healing Mindset Coach, In-Person Hypnosis Practitioner, And Speaker Meniyka Kiravell's aim is to inspire and expand our collective conscious. She has had a wild and surreal life. Around the age of 12, she began having out of body experiences on a nightly basis. At the age of 13, she experienced her first conscious telepathic communication and by 18, she knew that no matter how much trouble I stirred up, that she was taken care of and divinely guided. All of these experiences have shaped who she is today, a life coach who helps her clients experience their true purpose, potential and innate sense of divinity and well-being. Meniyka's personal and professional goal is to help us know and feel our true potential and power so we can move through this life experience with complete confidence. In her 30's Meniyka moved back to the United States to treat her mother. She suffered from disabling migraines and had lost her job two years prior at the hospital where she had worked for over 30 years. Using 100% natural techniques and energy medicine, her mother's health rebounded within three weeks. Meniyka chose to stay close to home and settled once again in California. This time in San Diego. Having come full circle, she is back in America as an awakened conscious creator. She embraced music and the arts again because she finally achieved some semblance of balance-creating for the joy of creating, letting go of limiting beliefs and comparisons & coming from a more authentic place. Meniyka truly believes and lives by the motto that life is supposed to be fun, prosperous, fulfilling, and enjoyable.

— The hearts of all must be touched so deeply that they are awakened to the true power that lies within, so that they, maybe for the first time, see clearly, for the first time, truly know which way to go. If you were to play hide and seek, would you not try to hide in the last place that the seeker would look? Your true power has been hidden in this very place. The last place the seeker would look. Would it then really come as a surprise that the strongest, most powerful part of you is also the softest and the most loving? The heart: your true power, a magnificent source that has the key to manifestation, peace, contentment, and the power to change the world lies in your heart.

— Celebrating other peoples' success creates an environment of success for everyone. The more we help each other and lift each other up, the more we can achieve ourselves. We tend to focus on other people's failures — schadenfreude is all too common. But a mindset of abundance, not scarcity, can have tremendous individual payoffs. We're accustomed to competing with each other. Instead, we should just compete with ourselves and take every opportunity to mentor, coach, and support others. Like the mutual power of referrals, cheerleading others reflects back on us. Valeria Teles interviews Jeffrey A. Martinovich — the author of "Just One More: The Wisdom of Bob Vukovich." Jeffrey A.
