3 Negative Effects of Blocked Emotions
It is so important to mental health to be in touch with and connected to your feelings. Too many people are not successful in actually feeling what they feel. Why?

Footsteps of the Past Obstruct The Here and Now
As a Life Coach, BPD Coach and Mental Health Coach, A.J. Mahari talks with clients every day who are in the on-going experience of having their footsteps from the past obstruct their here-and-now in ways that mean unidentified and unreached goals and dreams. Footsteps from the past do not have to continue to obstruct your here-and-now. Mahari knows first-hand that the first step in creating a here-and-now unfolding authenticity in your life journey – to reach your promise and potential and unleash your passion – is to awaken to the awareness that you are looking back more than you are living now and more than you can look ahead with any confidence.

Mahari outlines 7 keys that help the grief process and 7 keys that hinder the process of grieving.

More people are becoming increasingly aware that how and what they think creates their experience. However, for many who are in great emotional pain the connection might not be so apparent.
