Do you have part of the picture but not the full puzzle figured out yet … but feel frustratingly compelled to do so? If so, you have the signs of being in the midst of a creative acceleration. Your life is SHIFTing … you just haven’t reached a fuller awareness yet as to what. Many of the people who find their way to SHIFT-IT Coach, Inc. exhibit those symptoms.

Summary of Christina’s SHIFT-IT Presentation at 2007 Int’l Forum of Visual Practitioners Conference

Once a year the professionals of my diverse field gather to celebrate, have fun and learn from one another. This year I was asked to come share the journey of my own visual career (how i moved from visual recording, to visual facilitation, to my new innovations in the emerging visual coaching genre). I also shared Law of Attraction techniques to help our visual community to shift common resistance and boost up our vibration.

Visual Notes From Abraham-Hicks January 2008 Mexico Cruise

As a huge fan of the Law of Attraction material of Jerry and Esther Hicks of Abraham-Hicks

I attended my third cruise with them (this one was to Mexico). Below are my rough ‘visual notes’ from the workshops on board (main highlights with a few visuals ala my visual recording style). I’ve put them into a quick pdf report for easy download. They are rough (I was on vacation after all!), but might be of interest to other Law of Attraction and Abraham-Hicks fans. Enjoy!

These messages get communicated directly and indirectly to our…

Where is Your ‘Satisfaction Interrupted’?

If you are browsing my site and reading this article, the chances are pretty high that you are in some sort of state of ‘satisfaction interrupted’. This is the time that most of us enter coaching or some other experience that will help us figure out what is missing or ‘off’ in our lives and what to do about it. “Satisfaction Interrupted” can show itself as a vague sense that things have shifted in our lives, in a less than satisfying way. It can sneak up on us or come on like gangbusters or …
