I recently did an exercise in my acting class where we tapped into abundance and played with the energy that it evokes. We got to see it, visualize it, hold it and touch it. When I awoke from the trance, I had a profound experience where I realized that for the first time, I truly trust my self and honor my self -- something I know I didn't always feel.

I noticed that I no longer attract certain types of friends and coworkers as I used to. Presently, my friends are a lot more honoring and gentle. In the past, many of the people that surrounded me were judgmental and pushy, especially when it came to their philosophies and beliefs of right versus wrong.

I find that it is more powerful and honoring to recognize your inner truth and be grounded in your beliefs without pushing your ideas onto others in an overwhelming way. Real power is quiet and gentle, and real friends are honest and gentle with their approach.

Treat your self with kindness and love, and you will find that same kindness and love surrounding you. You will eventually notice the negative behavior occurring around you and choose to remove yourself from harmful relationships.

I have recently developed a new brand of products that remind me to be kind and loving towards my self on a daily basis. My Ayurveda Oils are made with so much love. I choose each ingredient with the intention of embracing femininity and the power that lies in it. I want women to embrace their power from womanhood, sensuality and femininity, not from power that is harsh or aggressive.

Love your self, be kind to your self and be your own best friend. The universe will conspire to love you too.

With Love,
Osi
