Latest Issue

  • Welcome to our 2nd birthday issue 11!

    Every time an issue is going to print and coming out it feels like giving birth. I am so grateful for howthings always come together in the end. I am excited to be able to create awareness around the ROSS SEA.We all need to take an action step, however small, to protect this most pristine marine ecosystem on our planet. Another passion or loves of mine are horses and I so enjoy the article about the Zen of horsesand the way they are helping and teaching us humans.

    The biggest change for now is the change of the name One Smile to Inspire new beginnings from issue 12 onwards. I was guided to do so and feel already more clarity in the new name about what it is that I would like to be part of.

    For now I leave you with this issue to read and enjoy and welcome your feedback my dear reader:)

This is TOO big. I can't do it.

What do you do when you have a seemingly impossible task ahead of you? I have the tendency to wait with certain tasks until they become super urgent. It gives me a kind of energy boost. However it also drains a lot of my energy when the time gets closer. All of a sudden I think: I can't do this! It is too big and too much and too little time.   STOP INHALE Hold the breath EXHALE. Do that 3 times ...really slow. Your brainwaves are changing as you slow your breath and you move out of the overwhelmed feeling and emotion into calmness and Being Present. Then I say to myself : I just do this task for 5 minutes. I can do that. And I start. The key here is to mentally allow yourself to know you can stop after 5 minutes and that is o.k.! The funny thing...

A new message from Veronica

It Is Time..."It is time for all those on the path in regard to union, to get serious.Perhaps eliminate the fantasy and create a reality that really works.We would advise not looking for the one who would be your "other half".Look for the one who would be a formidable partner to the totality of your energy.With that equalness, anything can and will be possible in a relationship.And who would desire less energy than the worth of their own?Be aware when seeking connection. It is not fruitful to bring someone along in hopes of their evolvement.It is good to meet an energy head on with full gusto.More the better if they can match you step for step.Equality in energy is what will work.Never seek a lesser moment. Always lean towards one who can engage you equally.Otherwise it may be disappointing.It's worth a wait to engage this type of energy.Always see abbundance...

Chakra Clearing Excercise

Clarity of Soulby Madisyn TaylorJust as the spaces we inhabit need to be cleared of clutter, our energetic fields must also be cleared of the old.Just as the physical spaces we inhabit require that we clear them periodically of clutter, the energetic fields that are a vital part of our being must also be cleared of old thoughts, energy, and emotions. Clearing your chakras and your aura restores and strengthens your connection to yourself and your divine inner wisdom. Unfettered by energetic baggage masquerading as fear, pain, and self-hatred, your consciousness is once again free to grow. If you find the thought of clearing your energy fields disconcerting, simply think of it as cleansing the energy that surrounds you and releasing any stagnancy. You may not be able to see the results of your efforts, but you will experience a lightness of being and clarity of mind.You can begin by...

Taking Our Turn to Give

Taking Our Turn to Giveby Madisyn TaylorThe greatest gift we can give to somebody in need is giving awareness and without judgment.When we see a person in need, we may want to give them something as a way of helping them, but if we give without taking the time to see who they really are, honoring that most of all, our gift is nowhere near as powerful as it could be. We may want to give a homeless person a sandwich, for example, but if we give it without also taking a moment to look the person in the eye, making authentic contact, we rob them of the experience of being human.Being in a position of need leaves a lot of people feeling vulnerable and full of self-doubt. The greatest gift we can give is to meet people in need without judgment and with the awareness that we are not...

Mountain Meditation

Finding Your Pinnacleby Madisyn TaylorMeditating near a mountain can be both powerful and grounding in a most profound way.Throughout history, humankind has stood in awe of mountains. The strength and sturdiness evident in the rocky crags and smooth slopes of peaks around the globe have from time immemorial inspired creativity and kindled courage. Mountains have been venerated by many cultures, which worshipped great summits as gods and sacred beings. In their looming presence, humanity has seen power, steadfastness, and resolve. Yet you needn't live near a mountain to tap into this vast energy of commanding grandeur. Conversely, since mountains are as unique in form as human beings, your locale may exist under the unwavering gaze of a small mountain without your knowing it. As you practice mountain meditation, the power that lurks in the heart of all mountains will flow into you while their essential beauty reminds you that you,...

Body Language

Listening and Respondingby Madisyn TaylorTuning in to the language of our bodies can be very enlightening and increases our intuition.So much can be revealed to us when we listen to the language of our bodies. Our bodies are always speaking, sending us messages through the way we move, the sensations that arise from within, and the gestures and expressions that we make when we are communicating with others. Tuning in to the language of our bodies can be very enlightening, especially as most communication is believed to take place nonverbally. It is also believed that the body never lies, and that if we want to know the truth about ourselves and others, then we should listen to what our bodies have to say. Anyone who has ever flirted with someone they are attracted to has probably, at one point in time or another, brushed their hands through their hair or...

Maintaining the Flow

A Clear Currentby Madisyn TaylorLife energy flows through us like a swift stream when there is nothing to obstruct it.The essence of all being is energy. Our physical and ethereal selves depend on the unrestricted flow of life energy that is the source of wholeness and wellness. Though the channels through which this energy flows are open systems and influenced by factors outside of our control, we ultimately choose what impact these will have in our lives. It is up to us to identify and clear blockages in the energy field to ensure that flow is maintained. A healthy, grounded individual absorbs some portion of the energy emitted by other people and the environment, but this does not interrupt the continuous stream of balanced energy sustaining them. The same individual copes constructively with stress and upset, and they are not subject to the stagnation that frequently goes hand in hand...

Gladdening Nourishment

Sillinessby Madisyn TaylorGiving yourself permission to be silly will nourish your creativity and is a good exercise in letting go.Children appreciate all that is silly as a matter of course. Their grasp of humor is instinctual, and even the smallest absurdities provoke joyous gales of earnest laughter. As we age, this innate ability to see the value of silliness can diminish. Work takes precedence over play, and we have less incentive to exercise our imaginative minds by focusing on what is humorous. When we remember childhood, we may recall the pleasures of donning funny costumes, reciting nonsense poems, making up strange games, or playing pretend. This unabashed silliness nourished our vitality and creativity. We can take in this nourishment once again by giving ourselves permission to lighten up and be silly.Too often we reject the wonderful silliness that is an inherent, inborn aspect of the self because we believe that...

Embracing New Information

Be OpenAs we live we will go through the processes of opening to new information, integrating it, and stabilizing our worldview.Living in an information age, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the constant influx of scientific studies, breaking news, and even spiritual revelations that fill our bookshelves, radio waves, and in-boxes. No sooner have we decided what to eat or how to think about the universe than a new study or book comes out confounding our well-researched opinion. After a while, we may be tempted to dismiss or ignore new information in the interest of stabilizing our point of view, and this is understandable. Rather than closing down, we might try instead to remain open by allowing our intuition to guide us.For example, contradictory studies concerning foods that are good for you and foods that are bad for you are plentiful. At a certain point, though, we can feel...
