What’s important about this movie is that Elizabeth’s journey to self represents everyone’s journey to self, and it is a journey we must all take, sooner or later. Mythology and the spiritual quest are all about the soul’s journey. The higher self calls to each of us to know ourselves, to know the Oneness, and to know that everything we seek is within us. All of the external ways that we try to fill ourselves up are ultimately empty. And, what’s more, each of us knows that on a very deep level. We all sense the nudging of spirit to go within, so when we see someone else’s journey, it gets our attention, and we plug in. Also consider the success of other movies like The Matrix and Inception among countless others. We recognize the call of the inner journey. My own journey led me on a solo trip to Greece back in 1992. It was a call that I absolutely could not resist, and I did receive my own great revelation, Trust Yourself.

A movie like Eat, Pray, Love is another cinematic opportunity for us to answer the call. But, remember, it is one we all have to take, so enjoy the movie. It’s quite a ride.

With Darnise Martin, PhD, Author, Professor, Relationship Mentor, Workshop Leader

Email: drdarnise@drdarnisemartin.com

I know you. I once was you. Young, Ambitious, Fabulous, and Confused! I was as green as they come after college. I moved from Ohio to New York City on my own, floundered around, made mistakes, lost my job, ran around with men playing a game I didn’t understand, but I eventually found my way. And you will too.

You have so much going on, life has so many opportunities, and challenges, and it can all seem overwhelming. You have a lot of questions, and maybe no direction, or don’t even know what to ask yet. It’s all good.

Savvy is for women under 30 who could use advice from a savvy, experienced, “older sister” about money, men, career and confidence.

This is a special group of women who will meet via phone on a tele-workshop twice monthly to discuss all those things you need to know NOW. I know.

Here are just some of the things we’ll be talking about:

• How to Attract Your Own Mr. Right and other Relationship Questions
• Un-Confident? How to be Confident in Life, Love and Work
• How to Know if You’re Casting Your Pearls Before Swine in love and work
• What you MUST know about YOUR money: Credit, Savings, Spending, what the fine print really means to you.
• Un-Pretty? Loving the Skin You’re In

Are you ready for Savvy? Great! Then, The Savvy Program is ready for you. You know a good opportunity when you see one.

So, how do you join?

The program requires an investment of $19.97/month billed to your credit/debit card as long as you remain in the program. Savvy is an on-going program, so stay as long as you like. The other investment is your commitment to yourself to show up and be present. You’ll find this is critical to life in general, show up and participate!

Be Savvy,

Need help with that?  I help single women who are having trouble finding and keeping a great man to become the kind of woman who is open to love and easily attract the man of their dreams. Email me.

Meantime, let Lyfe Jennings school you:

But, back to the point at hand: Some women have taken on sexual behaviors more associated with men, and is it getting them what they want? I have to say no.  A lot of these women still end up without the guy, with a bad reputation, hardened broken hearts, and wondering what happened. Even though I risk putting all women in the same boat here, forgive my essentializing for the moment, but women are not men. Women and men think and feel differently; estrogen and testosterone actually mean something, and, of course, we are socialized differently. So, sisters, if you are going to play a man’s game, enter it with your eyes open, hearts in neutral, and go along for the ride. Just PLEASE, don’t expect that man to become your husband or even call you in the morning. Does it happen? Yes. But usually? Not so much. Why? He still thinks of you as his “hook up” or worse. Sure he desired you, but now, game over.

To the men: This can be a dangerous, messy game. You know that women get their emotions involved, even when they say they won’t. When you think she starts “acting crazy,” consider the bigger picture. Women are not men, and will not react the same way as you.

So, what’s the verdict? Is sex on the first date a good idea? You tell me.

And what happens when you add religion into this conversation? You’ve gotta hear this, click here

This is your opportunity to receive help from me personally in this small group program. Many of you know that I am dedicated to helping my clients achieve whole life abundance, so whether you have a pain or disconnect in your life around relationships, career, money or spirituality, the answers lie within you. You can have love and romance, financial prosperity, the career you want, the family relationships you want, and anything else. The truth is your success starts within you. Oftentimes we are standing in our own way, hanging onto old baggage, too afraid to make a change or let someone in. And even more, we’re not aware that we are blocking our own blessings. We need help to see this, otherwise life just seems frustrating, hard and lonely. Well ladies, believe me, change happens when you begin to make changes, not before. Step up, step forward for your own sake. No one can do it for you, but I’m here to help you get clear, get focused and get moving.

How much longer are you going to wait for your life to be what you want it to be? Be encouraged that you have the power to recreate yourself and be assured that I am here with you as a mentor pulling for you, challenging and empowering you to be and do who you most want to be and do.

And, I’ll offer you this other wisdom nugget, when things seem difficult and obstacles arise (and they will), this just means that you are in a growth spurt. Consider the obstacles you are facing in your life right now as indications that you are on the verge of the change you want. This little nugget is not often discussed, but it is key to actually getting through to your goals and dreams. We’ll uncover how this is working in your life. You have to see it and know it in order to change it and work it to your advantage.

So, here’s your personal invitation about this program to the Monthly Empowerment Group. Starting in July, we’ll have a monthly 90 minute session where I offer some teachings and then open the call to hear your issues, needs and concerns. Then I’ll do laser, on the spot treatment sessions to help you right where you are in your life. We’ll rotate so everyone gets a chance to share and get support from the group. I’ll help you uncover your own #1 block to what you want most.

And, to make this an even easier decision for you to join in I want to remove the obstacle of affordability as best I can. The regular program price is only $47/month, a huge price break from my regular rate. Now, that’s a deal and a great investment in yourself you can’t ignore. And, for a limited time, I’m offering an even better deal. Sign up now for the monthly rate of $37. Yes, each month will be $37 when you sign up right up. Limited time offer, so hurry!

Of course this would be my angle. I am a spirituality and relationship mentor. I help people with their relationship drama all the time. So, I was pleased to see the relationship lessons this movie had to offer. Two important lessons in particular — Lesson number one is a big mistake women often make: in the name of helping her mate, she oversteps and does just the thing that he will resent the most. Ladies, let men fix their own problems. Unless a man, even your husband, asks you to help him, just encourage him with the reassurance that you believe in him to solve it himself. Otherwise, you risk wounding his pride and causing resentment and anger in your relationship, or worse fall into the role of mother or nag. Leave it alone.

Lesson number two — a mistake men often make: When trying to deal with a problem and feeling stressed, shutting your partner out emotionally and verbally. Women hate this and do not understand why you are pulling away from her. She is not your enemy, let her know what’s going on so that  she feels included and important enough to you that you share with her. Big points!

This movie communicates these issues very well, and then some. I’m not even getting to the biggest issues. I’ll  just say this, Janet Jackson worked it. She had several big emotional scenes which she pulled off well. I have to admit that I cried, and I am not a crier (ask anyone). But in this case I was also remembering that while Janet was filming this movie, her brother Michael died, so it put me in that frame of mind, and the tears came. Bring tissues!

As for the movie itself, yes it was good to see Black actors being the central characters who are prosperous, professional people. This time their couple’s get together lands them in the Bahamas, and surprises ensue as soon as they arrive. No spoilers here. But much more happens when they all get back home including the very last scene, again involving Janet Jackson.

An enjoyable and moving afternoon at the movies. You won’t be disappointed.

When you see it, let me know what you think.

Dr. Darnise

The truth has nothing to do with corruption, greed, or money being a bad thing. This is true because of a very basic spiritual principle: what you focus on expands and grows, what you expect manifests. Your thoughts create your experience 24/7, and your thoughts today are creating your future for tomorrow.

What this means is the rich, who already have so much, expect much. They expect prosperity. Money has become part of their everyday experience, so they continue to think about the availability of money. They don’t tell themselves that money is tight, or hard to come by. They think of deals and how to finance them. Even if they don’t have all the capital themselves, they automatically begin to think of financing and where they know the money is. They don’t say, well I don’t have all the money, so I guess I won’t do it. They know that there is money and abundance all around them, they expect it, accept it, and plan on it. They mentally water the plant of prosperity, and so it grows. Abundance is a given, and so they get richer.

Now, let us consider the mindset of the poor person. You may already know where I’m going with this. Typically poor people are in the habit of just making ends meet, thinking in terms of not having enough. You may say, “yes, because that’s their experience,” and I say that’s their experience because that’s what they think about routinely. This is not to condemn them, it is meant to point out a common mindset issue that people have, and consequently how to correct it. By default, most of us think about what we don’t have. When opportunities come along, we close them off, by claiming lack. We shut down instead of opening up to possibility.We think of the lack, and so we create more lack by watering those thoughts of ours as we would water a plant. The plant of lack then grows, and we are upset and dissatisfied. We should be dissatisfied. Our God self within knows that we deserve more, and we do. Our God self is reacting saying, “hey wait a minute, life isn’t supposed to be like this.” We all basically know this, and our emotions let us know. Feeling bad is like physical pain, meant to get our attention, and correct a damaging situation. Our emotions are our guidance system. When it comes to money, it may be that hey, I’m feeling bad about money today, what might that mean for me? It means I’m probably thinking about lack, let me correct that right now. How can I feel better about money right now? Well, maybe I’ll take an opportunity to be thankful for whatever I do have in my wallet or my bank account, instead of what I don’t. I can remember that when I’ve been in a similar situation, I came through it. I’m still here, and so I can think a new thought about money. Basically, it’s an intentional mindset shift to remember that somehow you have experienced abundance before, and you can once again.

So why do the poor get poorer? Not so much due to external societal issues, but rather, due to mindset issues. But, what about those institutional structures which seem to dictate poverty for millions of people? This too is part of our consciousness and mindset. As a human race we expect that some will be poor. We all collectively maintain this disparity, by believing in lack. We believe in lack, and as a result hoard resources from others, in a me or you, us or them mindset. The result is wealth disparity. But the real truth is, there is no lack. Hoarding is unnecessary. It falsely creates a sense of limitation and therefore poverty. Poverty thoughts lead to poverty experiences. Wealthy thoughts lead to wealthy experiences.

So, I leave you with this? What do you think about money? What are your usual, patterned thoughts, ideas and words about it? Remember, you are watering your thought plant, what do you want to grow?

I’m working on a new prosperity program now around the classic book, The Science of Getting Rich. Want to join me?

Be Blessed and Prosperous

Dr. Darnise

A lot of women get really upset and consider it to be a deal breaker if their man is looking at porn or going to strip clubs. Personally, I would draw the line at the prostitution part, but if my guy wants to look at porn, I’m not trippin’. Of course if this is part of a bigger problem like a sex addiction or avoidance of actual relationship problems then the real problems need to be addressed, but if it’s just looking at naked women sometimes, not really a problem.

But that’s me. What do you think of the prostitution and porn issue in relationships?

Ok, so you know about the Law of Attraction already, and how many times have you seen The Secret? Well, the thing is most gurus, teachers, and writers really haven’t shared the one critical key to success that is really necessary for you to manifest the life you want. The movie What the Bleep do we Know gives us more of a true picture in the sense that it teaches us that we have to overcome old belief patterns that have literally worn a groove into our neural pathways. It’s not enough to just repeat positive affirmations on top of negative beliefs, it won’t be a match, and your intention will not manifest. I mentor people through this disconnect, but, there is still more to this puzzle that needs to be taught, and it has to do with your Emotional Response System. If you’re not clear on this, then you’re just spinning your wheels. Well, I’ve decided to teach a tele-series on just what we all need to know to have the life and goals that we intend.

If you’ve got dreams that you want to manifest, then you definitely want in on this tele-series. We’ll start by revealing the main success key you need, and we’ll look at a well known classic text, The Science of Getting Rich, for clues on what you need to do to step into your dream life.

Consider this your invitation, RSVP by sending me an email, drdarnise@drdarnisemartin.com, and I’ll send you the details.
