Humanity at a Cross Roads Reflections of an Insensitive World

Do you feel as though the carpet has been pulled from under your feet? If you are uncertain of the next step to take or feeling a little hollow despite having everything you need in life, the good news is that you are not alone! Many people are going through the dark night of the soul at this time.

We stand at a pivotal moment of change in human history, a shift in consciousness where we all embrace our inner consciousness. There is an urgent need for us to confront our darkest shadows - our addictions, the ignorant worship of the powers of control, the greed, cruelty, fear, and unacknowledged despair of our untransformed human nature. Some of us now realise that we need to seek beyond the reasoning mind, the materialistic and scientific explanations of reality to find answers that really resonate with our hearts.

Today, everything is morphing at lightning speed. People are faced with major crises like natural disasters, collapsing economies, unemployment, strange diseases and others. As human consciousness is intrinsically one with our planet, we can contribute to the healing of the planet by releasing false beliefs and embracing love.

Transformation process

We are required to take a very important journey - one that demands us to transcend our "unreasonable" rational claims of personal security, safety and control. One by one, we are called to walk through the darkness to learn the meaning of surrender, true forgiveness and unconditional love so we can reunite with our divine self.

The term "the dark night of the soul" refers to a transformation process leading to self-realization and illumination. This lonely and painful path filled with uncertainty, forces us to disconnect from the illusions that we identify with such as the role that we play in society being an employee, an employer, a mother, a father, a child, a lover, a friend, etc.

We are conditioned to think that we are an absolute independent self, separated from people around us. During the dark night of the soul, the false notions of being a separate self is burned to ashes so we can discern the ego from the soul. It is the longest night as there is no compass to direct us in the right direction nor light to reassure us that dawn is approaching.

Please contact Kerrace at: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com for information about how you can be supported through this time of transition and change and feel empowered regardless of what is happening in your external reality.

Reclaim Your Power as Divine Inspiration

This transformational period of chaos we find ourselves in during this evolutionary cycle is about reclaiming our power(the inner observer-your ture self) which has been usurped for millennia. The chaos ensuing within this physical world system is designed to keep you (the inner observer-your ture self) distracted from reclaiming you and the power your wield to support your through challenges you may be facing in your life and work.

If anyone that you give credence to does not include this in their message or their teachings do not centre around your empowerment of your inner observer-your ture self. It is simply because they have not woken up to this fact within themselves! or they could be misusing their power to keep you disempowered away from your inner observer-true self. Now this can be anyone in your life as well (wife, husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, co-worker, boss sibling, parent, etc) even those in your circle of influence.

I know this is a bold statement! But I say it in the context that we live in a cultural construct where many people tend to give credence to anyone who has a similar belief system to their own instead of giving credence to the inner observer-your ture self, identification with those who carry simliar belief systems can mae us feel safe and connected, but then you have to ask yourself who’s belief system is it anyway? Is it yours? that is a belief system that you have moulded and designed for yourself built on the premise of who you truly are?(inner observer your ture self) or is your belief system the result of the cultural operating system you were born into? You see what I mean it gets very tricky!

If any of this information resonates with you or irritates the hell out of you then there may be some truth here! if you think I am crazy for saying you have a right to reclaim your power and embrace the inner observer-your ture self to guide you through this maze, I don’t care it’s still the truth! It’s just that you are up against what I call interference or resistance! You have a right to your POWER (that inner observer-your ture self) don’t allow that which guides you cares for you and will support you every step of the way (the inner observer-your ture self) to be usurped by anyone as you will require it, if not now you will in the next moment you let your guard down!

Contact me directly if you would like to learn how I can support you in your life and work I offer a number of tools that can help you to bring balance and ease into your life by learning to harness the wisdom and insights from the inner-observer-your true self. I can be reached at: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com

The Energy of Prosperity is The Balance of Yin and Yang Within You

Being in the energy of prosperity is learning to bring yourself into balance through the balancing of the Yin and Yang energy within you and creating from that place.

It is like weight training or strengthening an atrophied muscle it takes discipline. However the challenge that most people have is believing that this is even true.

Most of humanity is unconsciously creating outside the vibration of prosperity and that is why people attract what they don’t want into their lives. However those who have mastered the art of creativity and manifestation understand, know and live this principle of balance of Yin and Yang energy which stabilizes their internal vibration creating a higher frequency allowing them to create their reality as they see fit.

Are you ready to learn the art of tuning into the energy of prosperity? Then start with the first step believing in this principle of Yin and Yang and the balance of your personal energy vibration. Find that balance with you and see what creative flashes come your way and let me know what happens? Enjoy the journey!

If you would like to learn the art of creativity and how to consciously manifest in your life and work! contact Kerrace at: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com to learn how I can support you to manifest all that you desire!

To manifest is your divine right just waiting for you to reclaim what is rightfully your is only an email away contact me: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com

New Cosmic Story Reveals Our Origins

New Cosmic Story is a transformational model which describes the nature and structure of energy in the universe.

New Cosmic Story reveals how universal energy dynamics are only partially being played out in every corner of every society around the world, resulting in imbalance. We see these as power dynamics expressed in government, business, military, academia, our families and in all facets of life.

New Cosmic Story exposes the root of all the world’s dysfunction as an imbalance in the dynamics of Energy.

New Cosmic Story promises to enrich the conception of our cosmic origins, providing answers to some of the major questions that have perplexed humanity for millennia:


• Who are we?
• Where did we come from?
• What is our purpose for being here?
• What’s happening on the Earth right now?

Story of Creation is Wired in Your Body!

The story of creation is wired within your physical body! You may be asking yourself how I know? I know because I have been able to unlocked this ancient wisdom within myself.

I have always been asking the deeper questions but I never thought I could actually come up with the answers, I will have you know it has been a thirteen year journey.

You might be saying to yourself that is not a long time to come up with answers to some of the most profound questions you know those sort of questions that have eluded humanity for millennia:

• Where Did we Come From?
• Who are we?
• What are we doing here?
• What is our purpose for being here on Earth
• Whats happening on this earth right now

I have developed "New Cosmic Story" which is a model about the nature and structure of power in the universe and how this dynamic of power is only partially being played out in every corner of our society and in every society around the world which is causing so much imbalance in the world today. We see these power dynamics expressed in government, in business, in military, in academia, in our families in all facets of life. New Cosmic Story exposes the root of all the worlds dysfunction – as an imbalance in the dynamics of power.

New Cosmic Story promises to enrich our conception of our cosmic family origins, and provides answers some of the major questions that continue to go unanswered but have perplexed humanity for millennia.


• Who are we?
• Where do we come From?
• What are we doing here?
• What does our future hold?

I even take things a step further because I beleive it is critical for people to understand and know their relationship to their creator so they can live a purpose filled life.

I have developed The RippleFX Blueprint System which is astrology’s natural successor. It draws from ancient wisdom traditions — astrology, the chakra system, and energy healing to illuminate through the "Cosmic Creation Model" your creative potential allowing you to unlock the creation story or wisdom within them.

The system takes the torch from the hand of astrology and carries it to the next level, becoming both an accurate guide for life and a self-assessment device to unlock the inner wisdom within each of us and answers the questions who we are? where do we came from? what are we to do now? and where are we going?.

“The RippleFX Blueprint System" is ripe for these changing times, encouraging us to unlock the wisdom within each of us, the story of our creation is dormant within us waiting to be awakened,” says Kerrace Alexander author of New Cosmic Story and becuase I have gone through the process of discovery individuals can find out in a series of sessions the truth of who they are, who they are becoming and where they are going. It all boils down to whether you really want to know the truth or not?

Not everyone is ready for the truth though "says kerrace" and so they continue to suffer in quiet desperation and that is unfortunate because we are meant to live a full life that is one of the main reason for living on earth. I believe it is about living, loving creating and learning and exploring while experiencing and enjoying our life!

If any of this information resonates with you and you would like to set up a consultation to unlock the wisdom with you via telephone or skype! or if you would like more information on how I can support you please contact kerrace: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com or call me at 604-646-0508.

What to Know about Energy Healing?

Physics has educated us about energy and tells us that all things are moving.

Like all the planets in our solar system, every atom in our body is continuously in motion but they are invisible to the human eye. Like a river water, blood in our veins and life energy runs throughout our body.

Energy wants to run throughout our body freely, but often it becomes blocked. When our body holds tension it interrupts energy flow. That’s why individuals who are calm rarely get sick.

However for those with energy blocks may require energy clearing for proper functioning of their body.

When energy in your body is running uninhibited then all functions of body perform normally. For example: when a gas filter on a bus gets blocked the bus doesn’t work well right?.

Likewise when your bodies energy flow gets clogged, the body can’t perform normally. Therefore for natural function of body, energy has to flow freely.

When life becomes so hectic, and people feel they have little time for rest, then their body gets cranky. One of the great benefits of energy healing is people get energized from energy healing as an energy healing can remove interruptions of energy in order to stabilize normal flow of body energy.

Clogged energy can cause illness, tension and pain. People tend to hold tension in the muscles of their body and if the tension becomes cronic people will often mistaken the tension for being calm, as it continuously increases over time.

For severe tension energy healing helps to release tension at a deeper level. Energy healing can work on physical knots, allowing the energy to simultaneously discharge the source of the issue, caused by emotions and patterns of thought which generally cause the tension in the first place.

As a practitioner of the RippleFX Reslience technique which is a energy healing technique. I use a special combination of effective techniques for helping in freeing the discharged of clogged energy in a clients body. This helps the free flow of body energy, leaving individuals with reduced tension and in a stress free state of mind. Many people have a energy healing session with me often comment that they feel very relaxed after an energy healing treatment.

I can't stress this point enough and that is free flowing energy throughout your body is very essential for normal and natural working of body. I offer virtual energy healing sessions via telephone or skype contact kerrace: bigfishtrategies@gmail.com to learn more or to set up a mutually beneficial time for an energy healing session.

Are You Ready to Unlock the Story of You? It's Encoded in Your DNA!

In the future or the future as now in this period we find ourselve or are moving into is a time that we will mark in our history as a time where we recognized that we no longer need stories that are fed to us through media to orient ourselves in this physical world system.

Although we have required, stories in the past our future reveals that the stories will reside within each and everyone of us accessible in the moment encoded in our DNA available as we need them.

Butterfly's do not have a story that they talk about it is actually built into their DNA. Wolves, whales all of them know what they are doing because it is part of their genetic inheritance.

Humans require stories that are expressed in our culture so that we can find our way forward, but if they are stories which are given to us and not made by us from within our being then they are false stories that only serve the purpose of indentification or a sense of belonging to the cultural system that gave us the story in the first place.

Therefore they are not our stories the only stories that are true are stories that enable us to know what is important to do, what's important to avoid, who are we, what are we about, they situate us in the world that gives us fundamental meaning, orientation and direction.

Now if there are any doubts about the stories we tell ourselves or others then maybe it's time to trace where these stories come from and could there possibly be a story that is more true to you that resides within your inner being that is richer then the stories you currently carry about yourself, others and your world?

Like butterflies we have a story that is built into our DNA it is just that we have not learned how to access this story! I offer a number of solutions that support individuals to determine the true story of who they are that is locked in their DNA ready and waiting to be awakended allowing you to live a life of freedom, joy and in full expression of your authentic self. You deserve to live a purposeful life! Contact Kerrace at: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com to learn more about unlocking the story with you and living your full potential!

Your Life Was Planned before You Were Born- So What is Your Pre-birth Plan?

In all honesty you came into this world so that you can make a contribution to the world that is unique to you.

The challenges that you have faced throughout your life where planned by you before birth! Now I know that may sound strange but it is true you planned these challenges before birth; however not for the purpose of suffering but for the growth that would result.

If you view your life challenges as nothing more then meaniningless suffering and occurances as random and arbitrary then you are missing the point. You planned your challenges so you can see them as rich with purpose.

This knowledge alone will ease your suffering. If you know why you planned your challenges you can consciously learn the lessons your challenges offer so that any feellings of fear, anger, resentment,blame and self pitty can be replaced by a focus on growth.

This map also looks into the future. It shows when you’ll be experiencing times of opportunity or challenge, and in what areas of life. It can also help you understand the deeper meaning behind your life’s events.

This map is your birth chart. Unlocking the profound insights in my chart has enriched my life beyond measure. As a highly intuitive empath, it is my privilege and pleasure to help you unlock the secrets buried in your original blueprint.

How To Unleash The Creative Brilliance Within!

Because this physical world system is a system which locks us into this limited third dimensional reality through our five senses we are unable to experience our full creative potential and power in order to create our dreams and desires on a consistent basis.

The creative power source that allows us to literally create miracles lies dormant within us ready to be awakened at any moment; however for most of us we have never learned how to access this power. I have been able to access this power and if you are reading this and these words are resonating with you then read on.

What is lacking is that we need to become aware that this source of power exists learn where it comes from and how to tap into this unlimited source of power and develop the skills to mold, harness and direct this power to wield what we want in life and work!

Abundance is Your Birthright You Deserve To Live a Larger Life

We must step outside the confines of this physical world system in order to consciously create our life and work in the full context of the greater expression of who we are!

Your playing small does not serve the evolution of this planet, your solar system, your creator or your souls evolution. If you are still caught in the drama of your life here on earth which you experience through your five senses and you believe this reality to be true and that nothing else exists beyond your current state of being in this moment then sigh! And Breathe!............

Then answer this question! What are you willing to do? to change your limited viewpoint of your life and your existence here on earth so that the experiences that you create can bring more meaning and sustanence to your life and work, so that you can express and become more of who you are and experience a larger life outside the confines of this limited reality?

How Do I Consciously Create in My Life and Work?

Bigfish Strategies Inc. through “The RippleFX System” is an educational and conscious empowerment system committed to creating a new global culture working in conjunction with others to bring about a new stage of human consciousness and culture.

At Bigfish Strategies Inc., we work to make intelligent contact with cosmic consciousness to assist self conscious individuals in the ascent into a higher plane of existence.

Bigfish strategies role is to facilitate this contact, and to aid men and women in making the most infinitely important step in question to reclaim their divinity and natural inheritance as unconditional love and live a heart centered life.

Kerrace is stated as saying “The next stage of human evolution is to learn the universal language of love, which can be named "Cosmic Consciousness," and it is slowly beginning to appear on our physical world but will eventually spread widely throughout all of humanity”.

The Bigfish vision is profoundly optimistic for the future of humanity “ says Kerrace “you see the universe is built and ordered in such a way that without any peradventure all things work together for the good of each and all, and the very foundation principle of the world is what we call love and that the happiness of every human being is in the long run is absolutely certain.”

Kerrace says that her original spiritual teaching, Cosmic consciousness, is unique for placing the traditional realization of enlightenment in the context of cosmic evolution. By awakening to the timeless "Ground of Being," Kerrace maintains, human beings can liberate themselves from selfish motives, or ego, and learn to manifest what she calls the "True Self." This self beyond ego is said to represent humanity at its most wholesome: creative, compassionate core self, and is motivated by an evolutionary impulse that is "one with the universe." According to Kerrace, when human beings choose to live as the True Self, they can realize their inseparability from the universe and thereby discover a purpose for living that transcends egoism—that is, the uniquely human capacity to participate in the evolution of consciousness itself.

Kerrace distinguishes Cosmic consciousness from traditional "personal" enlightenment. In Cosmic consciousness, she teaches, enlightenment is no longer the possession of the individual, but instead becomes the ground of relationship upon which a new culture is created. Kerrace argues that the creation of this new consciousness and culture is essential for the survival of the race, and says that it is particularly incumbent upon those individuals who are at the leading edge of human development to take this next step.

To assist those who wish to evolve in this way, Kerrace has developed a comprehensive cosmic toolkit called the RippleFX System of which she combines RippleFX teachings, the RippleFX Resilience Technique and the RippleFX Life Energy System (coaching program) to facilitate the evolution of indviduals and human consciousness.

Kerrace has developed what she characterizes as a unique path of transformation for individuals and companies wanting to take the next evolutionary step, and she has coined this step as Cosmic consciousness. She sees herself as working in conjunction with others to bring about a new stage of human consciousness and culture to this physical world system.

What is the Energetic Impact of Beliefs in Your Life and Work?

We are CREATORS. What does that mean?

It means that regardless of where we are coming from, we are consistently creating our world through our beliefs.

We need to share this knowledge with our children. If we had been told the truth of who we really are as children, imagine the world we could have created!

It is because we are CREATORS and, thus, MANIFESTORS that we need to own and to speak our fears. Our fears are maladaptive beliefs which inform our creations.

We see the world as we think we are. So, if we have a certain perception of self, we assume that it is that self that others see.

This is about a belief of who we are. We are not going to manifest physical wholeness and maintain it consistently without embracing all of who we are - the good, the bad and the ugly - without embracing the embodiment of us. This isn't about mental or physical healing or the need to fix ourselves. This is about identifying ourselves as Energy Beings and Creators with all the implications that this carries.

Everyone and everything is Energy. We are Quantum Beings - part of the magnificent Quantum Field. We are extensions of Source Energy. As Energy Beings, we are constantly processing information consciously and unconsciously, and we are also consciously and unconsciously receiving, transmitting and sharing information with others.

From the RippleFX Resilience Technique (RRT)perspective, we are innately whole. This means that our foundation is one of wholeness which is Eternal and Quantum. We have given many names to this wholeness or quantum power of which we are a part. They include: God, Goddess, Universal Mind, Source, Spirit, Sacred Energy, and the Grid of Cosmic Consciousness. All information being shared is from this Quantum place and we are required to view everyone and everything which happens around us, from this Place of Wholeness.

In seeking to work with the Energy in RippleFX Resilience Technique (RRT) we are basically expressing an intention to bring about personal change in ourselves and our lives. This process of self-change constitutes a highly individualized journey for each of us. It is a journey of Self-Love or Compassion for Self.

From an RippleFX Resilience Technique (RRT) perspective, all emotional, psychological, physical and spiritual dis-ease is the product of our "separation" from Self which expresses itself in an absence of self-love and self-appreciation. Our symptoms (which are like warning signal lights on a car's dashboard) represent an avoidance of the emotional pain stemming from this separation from Self. Psychologically, this is as true of someone suffering from an acute psychosis as someone suffering from panic attacks, bipolar disorder or chronic, intractable depression.

It is important to remember that we are constantly creating whether it is from this wholeness, we speak of, or our wounded places. (Unfortunately, many of us persist in creating from our wounds for quite a long time!) When we speak to someone, we are either coming from our wholeness or our wounds. When we make a choice to come from our wholeness, even when the other person is in their wounds, our message automatically goes to their wholeness. This amplifies or supports them in self-awareness, self-love and personal evolvement. The more we can focus on that wholeness - the more the world will change in a positive direction.

The RippleFX Resilience Technique (RRT) works by targetting our wounds and supports us in integrating our wounds and transmuting the pain. The definition of "integrate" is to combine (one thing) with another so that they become a whole, while "transmute" means a change in form, nature or substance.

Put simply, a wound is a fear-based belief arising out of a particular life experience or taken in through cultural conditioning. In the case of sexual abuse, therefore, it is not the experience of sexual abuse, however unpleasant it may have been, which constitutes our wounds. Rather, it is the fear-based beliefs that arise out of or are associated with the sexual abuse that constitute our wounds. Fear-based beliefs are always negative and maladaptive.

Our participation in integrating our wounds involves our embracing and owning a hurtful experience. In some cases this requires breaking through our denial regarding what happened to us or how it has affected us. Thus, first there is recognition or validation: "Yes, this happened". "This was my experience". Then we allow the Energy - that quantum power - to support us by dissolving the fear-based, maladaptive beliefs that we hold in association with the experience.

The Energy changes maladaptive beliefs by transmuting them and, in so doing, leaving more expression of our wholeness. The wound - a fear-based belief - dissolves so that all that is left is more of our wholeness - i.e. more of our joy, our self-compassion. It is in this way, by integrating and transmuting the pain of fear-based beliefs, that we begin to realize more and more of our Wholeness - more and more of who we truly are.

Bigfish Strategies Reveals Unchaining the Power of Love a Revolutionary Manifesto - No Secrets Allowed

Bigfish Strategies Inc. through “The RippleFX System” is an educational and conscious empowerment system committed to creating a new global culture working in conjunction with others to bring about a new stage of human consciousness and culture.

At Bigfish Strategies Inc., we work to make intelligent contact with cosmic consciousness to assist self conscious individuals in the ascent into a higher plane of existence.

Bigfish strategies role is to facilitate this contact, and to aid men and women in making the most infinitely important step in question to reclaim their divinity and natural inheritance as unconditional love and live a heart centered life.

Kerrace is stated as saying “The next stage of human evolution is to learn the universal language of love, which can be named "Cosmic Consciousness," and it is slowly beginning to appear on our physical world but will eventually spread widely throughout all of humanity”.

The Bigfish vision is profoundly optimistic for the future of humanity “ says Kerrace “you see the universe is built and ordered in such a way that without any peradventure all things work together for the good of each and all, and the very foundation principle of the world is what we call love and that the happiness of every human being is in the long run is absolutely certain.”

Kerrace says that her original spiritual teaching, Cosmic consciousness, is unique for placing the traditional realization of enlightenment in the context of cosmic evolution. By awakening to the timeless "Ground of Being," Kerrace maintains, human beings can liberate themselves from selfish motives, or ego, and learn to manifest what she calls the "True Self." This self beyond ego is said to represent humanity at its most wholesome: creative, compassionate core self, and is motivated by an evolutionary impulse that is "one with the universe." According to Kerrace, when human beings choose to live as the True Self, they can realize their inseparability from the universe and thereby discover a purpose for living that transcends egoism—that is, the uniquely human capacity to participate in the evolution of consciousness itself.

Kerrace distinguishes Cosmic consciousness from traditional "personal" enlightenment. In Cosmic consciousness, she teaches, enlightenment is no longer the possession of the individual, but instead becomes the ground of relationship upon which a new culture is created. Kerrace argues that the creation of this new consciousness and culture is essential for the survival of the race, and says that it is particularly incumbent upon those individuals who are at the leading edge of human development to take this next step.

To assist those who wish to evolve in this way, Kerrace has developed a comprehensive cosmic toolkit called the RippleFX System of which she combines RippleFX teachings, the RippleFX Resilience Technique and the RippleFX Life Energy System (coaching program) to facilitate the evolution of human consciousness.

Kerrace has developed what she characterizes as a unique path of transformation for individuals and companies wanting to take the next evolutionary step, and she has coined this step as Cosmic consciousness. She sees herself as working in conjunction with others to bring about a new stage of human consciousness and culture to this physical world system.

How is The RippleFX Resilience Technique Revolutionizing Healing in the 21st Century?

The RippleFX Resilience Technique (RRT) is for anyone who wants to create self- change about the energetic impact of beliefs. It is a psychoenergetic process and a philosophical approach to life, based upon Universal Principles.

These Universal Principles are: we are Quantum Beings; we are Eternal; we are Innately Whole; and we create every aspect of our own lives.

This psychoenergetic process reconnects us to the knowledge of what and who we are. From the RRT perspective, everything in our world is a reflection upon how we see ourselves. As Quantum Beings, we are creators of our world, created from the beliefs which operate within our subconscious mind. We create from two places: from our innate wholeness, which is our spiritual/energetic/quantum core of wisdom and love; and from our fears, which represent self-limiting beliefs which do not serve us in living full and vibrant lives.

The Origin of Fear and Self Doubt

Self-doubt is created when we make the choice to separate from our Authentic Self by suppressing or rejecting our emotions. Doubt is created when we deny the Truth of our personal experience.

RRT requires embracing or taking ownership of all parts of Self. As a result, we reconnect with our wholeness and create solely from our joy. We begin to feel and see the power and abilities we embody. We become aware of our "Quantum-ness", our connection to all things and the power we have to influence our world.

RRT focuses on the Wholeness and the Oneness factor (i.e. we are all connected). Also, the focus is on the solution to issues―rather than on what appears to be missing.

The Power of Creativity Requires a Shift in Consciousness

We must step outside the confines of the physical world system in order to consciously create our life and work in the context of the greater expression of who we are! Our playing small does not serve the evolution of this planet our solar system our creator or our individual selves. If you are still caught in the drama of your existences which you experience through your five senses and you believe this reality to be true and that nothing else exists beyond your current state of being in this moment sigh! And Breathe!............ Then my question to you is what are you going to do to change your limited viewpoint of your existence and your experiences so that you can express and become more of yourself outside the confines of this limited reality?

If you would like to learn more about how I can support you in the process of becoming a conscious creator in your life and work please contact me Kerrace: bigfishstrategies@gmail.com

What are the Benefits of Transformational Facilitation?

In Transformational facilitation, people learn tangible skills to clear negative beliefs, patterns and emotions so that they can live fully present in the here and now while becoming empowered to create rich, satisfying lives. Some of these practices include mindfulness training; both internal (somatics) and external, paying attention to how we are languaging our world through conscious languaging and inquiry as well as journalling, and other creative processes which help train the brain to develop new patterns of thinking.

I work with people who hunger for deeper levels of fulfillment; people who want to deepen their connection to themselves and others, people who are committed to living in alignment with their heart, values, gifts and dreams. The people I facilitate have a strong desire and willingness to dig deep within to determine what it takes to make that happen. My job, as facilitator, is to help people see themselves- their lives, values, gifts, dreams, desires and even their "stories" more fully so they can transform old tales into new beginnings. Being "the best they can be" is a byproduct of balancing the inner and outer aspects of being, having and doing.

Many people who come to me come because they want more out of lives and of themselves. They know they need to remove the inner barriers, cultivate deeper awareness and move into their highest knowing although they may not know how to do this.

My clients know the benefits of a relationship that holds them accountable to the standards they set for themselves. They are committed to change that engenders sustainability. They know that for this to happen, shifts need to occur in how they think, act, and feel in order to bring them into alignment with who they really are, at the core of their being.

In our facilitation sessions we look at how your life is currently structured and determine what areas of your life you would like to have more fulfillment. We recognize that each person is already whole, capable and resourceful and utilize a process of inquiry to access the highest truth. We design personal practices that increase awareness of patterns and help to establish new practices. When approaching life from this perspective, people are able to gain greater access to their greatness and what they are truly capable of.

Transformational facilitation integrates traditional coaching concepts with spiritual practices, advanced technologies, and creative expression. The combination of these techniques helps facilitate transformation at the deepest levels while providing people with the support needed to live fully balanced and purposeful lives.

What is Spiritual Ascension?

Ascension is ultimately a physical process that this universe, and by this universe I mean the physical matter in this universe, undergoes.

Ascension is a sort of "change of state" or phase transition akin to what happens when ice melts to water.

Ascension is a fundamental shift in the material composition of the physical universe that allows Spirit incarnated in the physical body (that would be you and me) to more efficiently and effectively create this physical universe.

Ascension is occurring right now and is being led by an energetic interplay of life on this planet.

Ascension will lead, all other things being equal, to an increase in your ability to "manifest." This manifestation, or "co-creation" as some call it, will be guided by the principle as above , so below . That is, the ideas in your head, whether you are conscious or not, will manifest in the world around you.

If any of this information resonates with you please feel free to contact me bigfishstrategies@gmail.com about the RippleFX Teachings/RippleFX Healing Systems or to set up a time for a RippleFX Reslience Primer consultation.

Why Can't Peace and Joy Be Experienced Through the Ego Self?

Love, peace and joy are states of being and therefore cannot be experienced through the ego-self. The ego depends on duality to make it's existence real and does this by using emotion to contrast feelings.

With love, peace and joy no contrast is possible.

They are the conditions of our natural state of being, only accessible when thought is suspended and our experience becomes explicably merged in oneness.

These moments of grace are doorways to reclaiming our inheritance of infinite joy within the realm of time and space.

Why Do We Live in a Culture of Shame Built on the Foundation of Perfectionism?

We live in a culture built on shame and guilt because our media and advertising have commoditized perfectionism.


Shame is best understood as a social-cultural construct and can be felt when an outside or internal trigger activates an intense painful feeling or experience of believing we are flawed and therefore unworthy of acceptance and belonging creating feelings of fear, blame, and disconnection from relationships.

Shame is organized by gender. The messages and expectations that trigger and
fuel shame for women are based on our rigid cultural definitions of women and
women’s roles. Likewise, the expectations that fuel shame for men are based on
our culture’s perception of masculinity what a man should be like, look like,and act like.

The opposite of experiencing shame is experiencing shame resilience.
The quality that increases our resilience is empathy and when we are practicing courage, compassion, and connection. Our relationships are filled with empathy and we co- create a more loving and authentic culture.

What is The RippleFX Life Energy System?

The RippleFX Life Energy is that system consists of four modules and is an easy to follow, step-by-step guide to discovering your most passionate, interesting and true self and it comes with a bonus I will work with you every step of the way to support you through the process.

The RippleFX Life Energy System helps you determine:

What's really going on in the world right now?
What's important to you?
What's your true purpose in life?
What are you really meant to be doing while your here?
what do you truly value?
What's blocking you from achieving your dreams and desires for work and life?

Then the System shows you how to create your personal life manual that is unique to you, along with a plan of action that is in alignment with your values to achieve your goals in work and life beyond what you could have ever imagined for yourself.

We can all agree that our current physical world system is in an intense phase of transition and transformation. You may be asking yourself. How do I face a future of uncertainty? What tools and resources do I have to support me during these times?

We all must come to the understanding that we are all moving together into a new state of being. This new state of being requires therefore that we physically, mentally and emotionally let go of 3rd dimensional concepts. Just as in death, the letting go is a major part of the change process, for one cannot take the old values and way of being into a new completely different afterlife. So the progression through changes compels us to let go of current relationships, jobs, careers, homes, possessions, and so on, if they are unable to support our new way of being.

Is it any wonder therefore, that there is a great deal of anxiety and fear being felt in our physical world system because these changes are already in progress, even though most people are not conscious of it. Also, the changes to our physiological makeup are currently speeding up and there are many temporary physical symptoms that are occurring in our bodies as a consequence of this.

Life is accelerating and we are becoming acutely sensitive to the information that's encoded in energy. We need methods for translating this invisible guidance. This is a dramatic time—when many of us are “frequency-sorting,” deciding who we want to be, who we want as friends and colleagues, and what we want our life to feel like. We're letting go of old, ineffective habits and toxic people. We’re chafing at any reality that’s too limiting.

Now regardless of what is going on outside of us on the external I believe we are all born with the potential to navigate effectively through this transitional period.

That is why I have developed the RippleFX Life Energy System a step by step process that allows you to develop your own personal reference manual to help you navigate and live your life purpose.

With the creation of your operating manual in hand it will allow you to tap into your potential and live life to its fullest, with integrity, focus and self-determination. By going through this process you will discover a sense of purpose, inner strength and freedom you never imagined possible. You’ll become more aware of where you are going and how to get there. Life will cease to be something that just happens to you as you sit back passively. Instead, you will learn to be the pilot of your own plane, fly your own flight plan and take flight.

Now at this point I know this may sound beyond your reach, but I encourage you to tell yourself, as I always do when I’m faced with a challenge, “I am in the process of manifesting all that I desire.” You’ll be amazed at how well this works. If you say it enough, you’ll begin to believe it.
RippleFX Life Energy System Manual

Life inevitably comes with challenges. More demands and less time can really move us off course... and sometimes, we need a system to keep track of what it is we truly value, what we actually want, and where we're headed.

This process is so powerful that I work with people all over the world through weekly tele conference calls in fact we develop a program that suites your needs and requirement based on our 4 month program for individuals or our 6 month program for business owners.

What is the Link Between Stress and the "Fight or Flight Response?"

This fundamental physiologic response forms the foundation of modern day stress medicine. The "fight or flight response" is our body's primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to "fight" or "flee" from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival.

What happens to us when we are under excessive stress?

When we experience excessive stress—whether from internal worry or external circumstance—a bodily reaction is triggered, called the "fight or flight" response. Originally discovered by the great Harvard physiologist Walter Cannon, this response is hard-wired into our brains and represents a genetic wisdom designed to protect us from bodily harm. This response actually corresponds to an area of our brain called the hypothalamus, which—when stimulated—initiates a sequence of nerve cell firing and chemical release that prepares our body for running or fighting.

What are the signs that our fight or flight response has been stimulated (activated)?

When our fight or flight response is activated, sequences of nerve cell firing occur and chemicals like adrenaline, noradrenaline and cortisol are released into our bloodstream. These patterns of nerve cell firing and chemical release cause our body to undergo a series of very dramatic changes. Our respiratory rate increases. Blood is shunted away from our digestive tract and directed into our muscles and limbs, which require extra energy and fuel for running and fighting. Our pupils dilate. Our awareness intensifies. Our sight sharpens. Our impulses quicken. Our perception of pain diminishes. Our immune system mobilizes with increased activation. We become prepared—physically and psychologically—for fight or flight. We scan and search our environment, "looking for the enemy."

When our fight or flight system is activated, we tend to perceive everything in our environment as a possible threat to our survival. By its very nature, the fight or flight system bypasses our rational mind—where our more well thought out beliefs exist—and moves us into "attack" mode. This state of alert causes us to perceive almost everything in our world as a possible threat to our survival. As such, we tend to see everyone and everything as a possible enemy. Like airport security during a terrorist threat, we are on the look out for every possible danger. We may overreact to the slightest comment. Our fear is exaggerated. Our thinking is distorted. We see everything through the filter of possible danger. We narrow our focus to those things that can harm us. Fear becomes the lens through which we see the world.

We can begin to see how it is almost impossible to cultivate positive attitudes and beliefs when we are stuck in survival mode. Our heart is not open. Our rational mind is disengaged. Our consciousness is focused on fear, not love. Making clear choices and recognizing the consequences of those choices is unfeasible. We are focused on short-term survival, not the long-term consequences of our beliefs and choices. When we are overwhelmed with excessive stress, our life becomes a series of short-term emergencies. We lose the ability to relax and enjoy the moment. We live from crisis to crisis, with no relief in sight. Burnout is inevitable. This burnout is what usually provides the motivation to change our lives for the better. We are propelled to step back and look at the big picture of our lives—forcing us to examine our beliefs, our values and our goals.

What is our fight or flight system designed to protect us from?

Our fight or flight response is designed to protect us from the proverbial saber tooth tigers that once lurked in the woods and fields around us, threatening our physical survival. At times when our actual physical survival is threatened, there is no greater response to have on our side. When activated, the fight or flight response causes a surge of adrenaline and other stress hormones to pump through our body. This surge is the force responsible for mothers lifting cars off their trapped children and for firemen heroically running into blazing houses to save endangered victims. The surge of adrenaline imbues us with heroism and courage at times when we are called upon to protect and defend the lives and values we cherish.

What are the saber tooth tigers of today and why are they so dangerous?

When we face very real dangers to our physical survival, the fight or flight response is invaluable. Today, however, most of the saber tooth tigers we encounter are not a threat to our physical survival. Today’s saber tooth tigers consist of rush hour traffic, missing a deadline, bouncing a check or having an argument with our boss or spouse. Nonetheless, these modern day, saber tooth tigers trigger the activation of our fight or flight system as if our physical survival was threatened. On a daily basis, toxic stress hormones flow into our bodies for events that pose no real threat to our physical survival.

Once it has been triggered, what is the natural conclusion of our fight or flight response?

By its very design, the fight or flight response leads us to fight or to flee—both creating immense amounts of muscle movement and physical exertion. This physical activity effectively metabolizes the stress hormones released as a result of the activation of our fight or flight response. Once the fighting is over, and the threat—which triggered the response—has been eliminated, our body and mind return to a state of calm.

Has the fight or flight response become counterproductive?

In most cases today, once our fight or flight response is activated, we cannot flee. We cannot fight. We cannot physically run from our perceived threats. When we are faced with modern day, saber tooth tigers, we have to sit in our office and "control ourselves." We have to sit in traffic and "deal with it." We have to wait until the bank opens to "handle" the bounced check. In short, many of the major stresses today trigger the full activation of our fight or flight response, causing us to become aggressive, hypervigilant and over-reactive. This aggressiveness, over-reactivity and hypervigilance cause us to act or respond in ways that are actually counter-productive to our survival. Consider road rage in Los Angeles and other major cities.

It is counterproductive to punch out the boss (the fight response) when s/he activates our fight or flight response. (Even though it might bring temporary relief to our tension!) It is counterproductive to run away from the boss (the flight response) when s/he activates our fight or flight response. This all leads to a difficult situation in which our automatic, predictable and unconscious fight or flight response causes behavior that can actually be self-defeating and work against our emotional, psychological and spiritual survival.

Is there a cumulative danger from over-activation of our fight or flight response?

Yes. The evidence is overwhelming that there is a cumulative buildup of stress hormones. If not properly metabolized over time, excessive stress can lead to disorders of our autonomic nervous system (causing headache, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure and the like) and disorders of our hormonal and immune systems (creating susceptibility to infection, chronic fatigue, depression, and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and allergies.)

To protect ourselves today, we must consciously pay attention to the signals of fight or flight

To protect ourselves in a world of psychological—rather than physical—danger, we must consciously pay attention to unique signals telling us whether we are actually in fight or flight. Some of us may experience these signals as physical symptoms like tension in our muscles, headache, upset stomach, racing heartbeat, deep sighing or shallow breathing. Others may experience them as emotional or psychological symptoms such as anxiety, poor concentration, depression, hopelessness, frustration, anger, sadness or fear.

Excess stress does not always show up as the "feeling" of being stressed. Many stresses go directly into our physical body and may only be recognized by the physical symptoms we manifest. Two excellent examples of stress induced conditions are "eye twitching" and "teeth-grinding." Conversely, we may "feel" lots of emotional stress in our emotional body and have very few physical symptoms or signs in our body.

By recognizing the symptoms and signs of being in fight or flight, we can begin to take steps to handle the stress overload. There are benefits to being in fight or flight—even when the threat is only psychological rather than physical. For example, in times of emotional jeopardy, the fight or flight response can sharpen our mental acuity, thereby helping us deal decisively with issues, moving us to action. But it can also make us hypervigilant and over-reactive during times when a state of calm awareness is more productive. By learning to recognize the signals of fight or flight activation, we can avoid reacting excessively to events and fears that are not life threatening. In so doing, we can play "emotional judo" with our fight or flight response, "using" its energy to help us rather than harm us. We can borrow the beneficial effects (heightened awareness, mental acuity and the ability to tolerate excess pain) in order to change our emotional environment and deal productively with our fears, thoughts and potential dangers.

What can we do to reduce our stress and turn down the activity of our fight or flight response?

The fight or flight response represents a genetically hard-wired early warning system—designed to alert us to external environmental threats that pose a danger to our physical survival. Because survival is the supreme goal, the system is highly sensitive, set to register extremely minute levels of potential danger. As such, the fight or flight response not only warns us of real external danger but also of the mere perception of danger. This understanding gives us two powerful tools for reducing our stress. They are:

1) Changing our external environment (our "reality"). This includes any action we take that helps make the environment we live in safer. Physical safety means getting out of toxic, noisy or hostile environments. Emotional safety means surrounding ourselves with friends and people who genuinely care for us, learning better communication skills, time management skills, getting out of toxic jobs and hurtful relationships. Spiritual safety means creating a life surrounded with a sense of purpose, a relationship with a higher power and a resolve to release deeply held feelings of shame, worthlessness and excessive guilt.

2) Changing our perceptions of reality. This includes any technique whereby we seek to change our mental perspectives, our attitudes, our beliefs and our emotional reactions to the events that happen to us. Changing our perceptions of reality is best illustrated by the proverbial saying, "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Without actually changing our reality, we can altered our perception of reality—viewing the difficulties of life as events that make us stronger and more loving. In the Buddhist tradition, this is referred to as developing a "supple mind."

Physical exercise can also turn down the activity of an overactive fight or flight response

Perhaps the simplest, best way to turn down the activity of our fight or flight response is by physical exercise. Remember that the natural conclusion of fight or flight is vigorous physical activity. When we exercise, we metabolize excessive stress hormones—restoring our body and mind to a calmer, more relaxed state.

For the purpose of stress reduction and counteracting the fight or flight response, any form of activity where we "work up a sweat" for five minutes will effectively metabolize off—and prevent the excessive buildup of—stress hormones. Get down and do 50 pushups, 50 sit-ups, jumping jacks, jump rope, run in place, run up and down the stairs, whatever. By exercising to the point of sweating, we effectively counteract the ill effects of the fight of flight response, drawing it to its natural conclusion.

Sometimes when your upset, you can close the door to your office, do 25 quick pushups, work up a light sweat, and return to work, clearer and calmer. Frequent repetitions of short exercise are easy to fit into our busy schedules. For full cardiovascular fitness, longer periods of exercise do have additional benefits, but for the purpose of stress reduction, mini-exercise sessions are practical, effective and beneficial.

Exercise increases our natural endorphins, which help us to feel better. When we feel good, our thoughts are clearer, our positive beliefs are more accessible and our perceptions are more open. When we feel tired and physically run down, we tend to focus on what’s not working in our lives—similar to a cranky child needing a nap. It is difficult to be, feel or think positive when we are exhausted, sleep deprived or physically out of condition.

What is mind chatter?

If we could read the owners manual for the mind, we would find a full chapter on what is called "mind chatter." Mind chatter is the endless, restless stream of incomplete thoughts, anxieties and self-talk which constantly pulses through our minds. In order to survive, our mind is always "on"—searching for possible threats, dangers, solutions and explanations. This is called our "strategic mind." The strategic mind is always "on"—scanning both our inner and outer world for possible threats to our well-being—either real or imagined. This constant vigilance of the mind not only distracts us with excessive worry but can also trigger the activation of our fight or flight response.

Sometimes, because of the mind’s incessant chatter and worry, we even begin to anticipate dangers or threats that don’t really exist. This is what the soulful and gentle author Joan Borysenko, Ph.D. (Minding The Body, Mending The Mind) refers to as becoming an "advanced worrier." This condition is described brilliantly by Mark Twain who said "I’ve experienced many terrible things in my life, a few of which actually happened." Zig Ziglar, the great motivational speaker, says "Worry is a misuse of the imagination."

Underneath all the mind chatter and fight or flight anxiety lies a quiet place called our "inner voice", the "observer" or the "witness." The "inner voice" is what Walter Cannon, M.D., calls "the wisdom of the body." This quiet place allows us to move beyond our fears, beyond our anxieties and beyond our strategic mind—into a clearer understanding and knowing of what is true and loving. As we will soon discuss, a quiet mind calms our overactive physiology, creating a sequence of physiologic and biochemical changes that improve our physical health.

The simplest, most exquisite way I know of to quiet the mind is by eliciting what is called RippleFX Stillness".

Why is Love Alive Only in The Present Moment?

We live simultaneously in two worlds. We live with our feet planted in one world that is made up of solid and separate objects that appear to exist independently of us. This is a world of duality in which we live informed by secondhand concepts that we take to be real, which are stored in our bodymind as feelings, emotions, thoughts, beliefs, memories, and images.

For instance, we were told a long time ago that we were born, that we have a body, that we are male or female, and that we will die. We have unquestionably accepted the legitimacy of these second-hand beliefs as true, based upon the authoritative testimony of our ancestors, and may never have questioned their validity. But many of us, down through the ages, have questioned the authenticity of these beliefs and have been astonished by what we have uncovered when we have finally experienced ourselves through firsthand knowing.

When we inquire with sincere innocence into the beliefs we hold to be true and respond with total honesty, without depending upon our memory—which is based on secondhand information—we open into the delight, wonder, and astonishment at the answers we come upon to such simple questions as "How old do I really feel? Is my experience really that I have a body? What gender do I really feel myself to be? What is my true name? What is my true face?"

These simple questions can move us beyond our secondhand concepts and the world of duality into experiencing a quite different reality that is not governed by the mind’s past, but by this present moment, which is the realm of the heart. When we live in and from the heart, memory continues to function, but the mind no longer informs our experience. Instead the heart informs the mind.

When we live informed by the heart, we discover that we are living in a parallel universe to the world of duality. Here, we live in a world of nondual loving Presence, in which all objects are realized and perceived to be non-separate projections of our own indivisible nondual Presence. In the world of the heart, we experience the end of striving to become something other than we already are. Here, being is enough. Here, we find the heart’s rest as we live in accepting and welcoming ourselves as we are. It is a relief to finally realize that we don’t have to be different. In the heart’s world, we are always being loved for who we are, not who we "should" be.

In a world of duality, we strive to be more loving, kind, generous, and compassionate. But in the world of the heart, we discover our natural ground of being in which we are love itself. We uncover that our very nature is loving, kind, generous, and compassionate. These are the essential aspects of our being. When we live in the heart we don’t experience separation.

Here, there is only our Self and everyone we see is realized to be "I." And when all we see is our Self, who is there to hurt? Who, then, is there to tell a lie to, to be unkind to? There is only our Self. Living in the heart brings an end to violence and deception. When we live in and from the heart, we live in our essential compassion and love that moves us to help our neighbor, because we see that our neighbor is our Self.

It can be disorienting, at first, when everyone we see is our Self. It can be unsettling to contemplate that our striving to change ourselves is actually taking us away from being happy. Striving keeps us bound to our unhappiness. Striving is always for a future goal that lies forever "out there." When we stop striving and simply are, the mind grows quiet and we come to rest. It is important to note that in being, we do not become lethargic. The heart is divinely willful. Doing continues, but no longer from the attitude of trying to change ourselves. Simply stated, being is enough.

The nature of the mind is to split that which is one into two. This is its inherent tendency. There’s nothing wrong with this. It is just the way the mind functions. Without the mind we would not be able to conceptualize a cup to drink from, visualize a chair to sit in, or experience a separate "other" with which to have an intimate relationship. Our ability to live in the world of mind allows us to function as an individual and manipulate a world of separate objects.

But separation comes with a hefty price tag. Separation and fear co-arise. They are not disparate movements. When we live only from the perspective of being a separate individual, we experience our life filled with suffering, anxiety, and fear. And while we may try all kinds of remedial action, trying to bring an end to suffering, anxiety, and fear without solving the accompanying problem of separation is tantamount to rearranging the furniture on the Titanic. While any change may look good for a while, it provides no lasting resolution to the problem at hand. In order to bring an end to suffering, we must resolve the dilemma of feeling separate.

Our ability to bring an end to suffering depends on our capacity to examine our lives. No external or internal repair ultimately works. Our ability to live in this world of duality, while welcoming its various movements of sensation, feeling, emotion, and thought, provides the gateway we are looking for to enter this other wondrous world of loving Presence where we feel always whole, healed, and healthy.

When we accept ourselves as we are, when we unflinchingly realize that our suffering rises out of feeling alienated and separate from our Self, we become vulnerable, open, and respectful of everything we feel and think and do. We no longer blame others, but see the expectations that are clouding our vision. We no longer judge others for the way we feel, but experience our longing to connect and share intimately with ourselves and with others.

To live our humanness is to experience joy and suffering. To live from our heart is to enter the domain of peace and loving-kindness and the timeless reality of transcendent being. To live our Presence and our humanness are not separate movements. They are one. We must understand that any attempt to rid ourselves of our humanness in order to become enlightened gives rise to suffering. What we fundamentally are is not dependent upon changing circumstances.

However, exploring what does come and go opens us to experiencing our underlying, changeless, heartfelt Presence in which all coming and going arises. Separation heals when our hearts are open to what is. By feeling the places in ourselves we have judged, compassion and loving-kindness naturally arise. Paradox operates at every turn.

Being open to ourselves with deep trust and reverence facilitates healing. While we must be willing to face ourselves by ourselves, community is a vital component in healing into the loving heart. Our wounds are the entry points for love, which takes us beyond separation and suffering. Community facilitates healing by supporting our moving into, rather than away from, our experiences of separation.

In community, as with our Self, we do not analyze or attempt to change. Instead our stories of limitation and separation are welcomed. In welcoming, there is no prescription for being other than we are. And when we are open without expectation, what is welcomed ultimately empties into its underlying nature, which is unbounded, loving Presence—the open, vulnerable heart.

Love will never be found in the past or the future, which is the mind. Love is alive only in this present moment. When we awaken into the heart, we awaken to this present moment—to the now. While altars may be set with many adornments, the true altar is the heart that is tender, vulnerable, open, and welcoming. The heart that is on fire can’t wait. The heart—your heart, my heart—truly craves an intimacy that heals all separation. And it wants it now. The heart knows the truth that it needs to tell in order to open into the precious and loving Presence that we truly are. Why postpone what is inevitable, which is our full opening into the waiting arms of the heart, which is always our nearest.
