Riding the Waves: Triumphs, Trials, and Unexpected Adventures! (2 minute read)

Hey there, Live Out Loud community!

What a whirlwind week it's been! Picture this: juggling flames left and right, but also finding unexpected blessings amidst the chaos. Let me give you a peek into my world.

So, I've been knee-deep in the trenches of paperwork, navigating the labyrinth of mortgage assistance for my property. It's been a journey that started back in November 2023, when I realized I needed a lifeline to bring those payments up to speed.

Here's the kicker: initially, I hit a roadblock. Denied because, believe it or not, I wasn't behind enough on my payments. Talk about a catch-22! But this is the reality of our times, right? The hoops we jump through, especially in the aftermath of the COVID pandemic.

But let's talk about resilience. It's about making tough decisions, weighing the options, and embracing change—even when it feels like your brain is screaming "retreat!" Our brains crave familiarity, but growth happens outside our comfort zones.

And let me tell you, it's been a wild ride. Every obstacle you can imagine, I've faced it head-on. Yet, here I am, slowly emerging from survival mode into a place of peace and progress.

And then, a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos. Picture this: a flooded bathroom, courtesy of my curious grandson and a mischievous toilet experiment. But lo and behold, a guardian angel in the form of a sister-friend swoops in—a seasoned contractor with a heart of gold. Together, we tackled the plumbing maze, and just like that, I learned a thing or two about pipes and wrenches.

It's moments like these that remind me: change isn't always easy, but it's where growth thrives. So here's to embracing the unexpected, finding silver linings, and always staying open to the journey.

Till next time, keep living out loud!

Warm regards, Mechel

Embrace Your Own Time: Dancing to the Beat of Your Own Drum (3-minute read)

Ever stop to ponder who decided when lunch should be served or how many hours we should sleep? And why are we expected to hit life's milestones like clockwork?

It's time to challenge the relentless tick-tock of society's clock. From dawn till dusk, it dictates our every move, but does it truly resonate with each of us?

We're handed a script: four years of high school, four years of college, a career by 25, a family by 30, success by 40, and retirement by 65. But what if that timeline doesn't sync with our soul's rhythm?

Sure, time itself may be a cosmic mystery, but the way we measure it? That's a human invention. Clocks adorn every wall, counting down society's expectations.

But let's face it: one size fits none. Just because society has a timeline doesn't mean we're late to the party if we're not following it. It simply means we're crafting our own narrative.

So let's liberate ourselves from the shackles of society's clock. Let's revel in the fact that our time is uniquely ours. Instead of conforming to someone else's idea of success, let's celebrate our individual journey.

Here's to embracing the rhythm of our hearts and dancing to the melody of our dreams. Because life isn't about keeping up with the Joneses—it's about finding our own tempo and dancing freely in the spotlight.

Self Care: Healing Abdominal Problems with Navel Pulling: A Natural Remedy (4 minute read)

Click Here to book your FREE 30 minute coaching session learn more about how I can support you on your path to well-being.

Are you struggling with abdominal discomfort, menstrual cramps, or digestive issues? If so, you're not alone. Many women experience these challenges, but relief may be closer than you think. Enter navel pulling—a natural remedy that has been used for centuries to promote healing and balance in the body.

What is Navel Pulling?

Navel pulling, also known as navel therapy or navel oiling, is a traditional practice rooted in Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India. It involves the application of warm oil, typically castor oil, to the navel area and gently massaging it in a circular motion.

Types of Issues it Heals

Navel pulling is believed to offer a wide range of health benefits, particularly for women. Some of the common issues it may help alleviate include:

1. Menstrual cramps: The soothing warmth of the oil and the massage action can help relieve menstrual pain and discomfort.

2. Digestive problems: Navel pulling is thought to stimulate the digestive organs, promoting better digestion and relieving issues like bloating, gas, and constipation.

3. Abdominal discomfort: Whether it's due to indigestion, inflammation, or muscle tension, navel pulling can provide relief from various types of abdominal discomfort.

4. Hormonal balance: Ayurvedic practitioners believe that navel pulling can help balance the body's doshas (energetic forces), which in turn may support overall hormonal balance.

How to Do It

To perform navel pulling:

1. Choose a high-quality oil: Castor oil is commonly used for navel pulling due to its purported healing properties. Ensure it is organic and cold-pressed for the best results.

2. Warm the oil: Gently heat the oil until it is comfortably warm to the touch. Avoid overheating, as this can cause burns.

3. Lie down in a comfortable position: Find a quiet, relaxing space where you can lie down comfortably.

4. Apply the oil: Using a dropper or your fingertips, apply a few drops of warm oil to your navel.

5. Massage in a circular motion: Using gentle pressure, massage the oil into your navel area in a clockwise direction for several minutes. You can also extend the massage to the surrounding abdominal area for additional benefits.

6. Relax and rest: After the massage, take a few moments to relax and allow the oil to penetrate your skin. You can cover the area with a warm towel or cloth if desired.

How Often Should it be Done?

Navel pulling can be done daily as part of your self-care routine, particularly during times of discomfort or imbalance. However, listen to your body and adjust the frequency based on your individual needs. Some women may benefit from more frequent sessions, while others may find relief with less frequent application.

Unlocking Inner-Peace: The Power of Binaural Beats (3.5 minute Read)

Click Here to…Join the waiting list for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats!

In our fast-paced world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can feel like an elusive dream. However, there's a powerful tool that's been gaining attention for its ability to help us tap into a state of calm and relaxation: binaural beats.

But what exactly are binaural beats, and how can they benefit you?

At its core, binaural beats are a form of auditory illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played separately into each ear. These subtle differences in frequencies trigger the brain to perceive a third tone, known as the binaural beat, which corresponds to the mathematical difference between the two original frequencies.

Now, let's break down the brainwave patterns associated with different states of consciousness, and how binaural beats can help us achieve them:

Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and the unconscious mind. Listening to binaural beats in the delta frequency range can help promote restorative sleep, enhance rejuvenation, and facilitate deep meditation sessions.

Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and intuition. By listening to binaural beats in the theta frequency range, you can access a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance your ability to tap into your subconscious mind.

Alpha Waves (8-14 Hz): Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed and calm state of mind, often experienced during meditation and light relaxation. Binaural beats in the alpha frequency range can help induce a state of tranquility, improve focus and concentration, and enhance creativity.

Beta Waves (14-30 Hz): Beta waves are present when we are awake and alert, engaged in focused attention and cognitive tasks. Binaural beats in the beta frequency range can help sharpen mental clarity, increase energy levels, and promote a sense of motivation and productivity.

Gamma Waves (30-100 Hz): Gamma waves are associated with heightened perception, peak performance, and expanded consciousness. Listening to binaural beats in the gamma frequency range can enhance cognitive function, boost mood, and promote feelings of interconnectedness and spiritual awakening.

Manifestation and Binaural Beats: Beyond stress reduction and relaxation, many people also use binaural beats as a tool for manifestation. By aligning your brainwaves with specific frequencies associated with abundance, creativity, and positivity, you can enhance your ability to attract your desires and manifest your goals. Whether you're visualizing your dream career, envisioning loving relationships, or manifesting financial abundance, incorporating binaural beats into your manifestation practice can amplify your intentions and bring them into alignment with the universe's energetic flow. By combining the power of intention with the resonance of binaural beats, you can accelerate the manifestation process and bring your dreams to fruition more effortlessly. So, the next time you set out to manifest your desires, consider adding binaural beats to your toolkit and watch as the universe conspires to support your intentions.

So how can binaural beats specifically benefit women?

For starters, binaural beats offer a natural and non-invasive way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. Whether you're juggling a busy career, managing family responsibilities, or simply seeking moments of self-care, incorporating binaural beats into your daily routine can provide a much-needed respite from the chaos of everyday life.

Furthermore, binaural beats can be a valuable tool for meditation and mindfulness practices, helping women cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. By tuning into the frequencies that resonate with your desired state of consciousness, you can deepen your meditation practice, quiet the mind, and connect with your inner wisdom.

Additionally, binaural beats can aid in improving sleep quality, which is crucial for women's overall health and well-being. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, experiencing restless nights due to stress or anxiety, or simply looking to enhance the quality of your sleep, incorporating delta and theta frequency binaural beats into your bedtime routine can promote relaxation and facilitate a deeper, more restorative sleep.

In summary, binaural beats offer a powerful yet accessible tool for women to reduce stress, enhance meditation, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. By harnessing the innate power of sound and frequency, we can tap into our natural state of balance and harmony, empowering us to live our lives with greater ease, joy, and fulfillment.

So why not give binaural beats a try? Plug in your headphones, press play, and let the soothing sounds guide you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats, designed to amplify your intentions and accelerate your manifestation practice.

The Passion Journal (2 minute read)

I'm Mechel Miller—warrior, dreamer, and the driving force behind the magic you're about to unfold. Welcome to the heartbeat of transformation—the "Passion Journal," your sacred companion for the next 90 days. This journal is more than just pages; it's a reflection of my journey—a journey from the ashes of adversity to the creation of a sanctuary where women like you can discover their power.

About Mechel Miller:

I am the creator of the Live Out Loud Membership Global Community—a vibrant connection of women aged 38-60 from all walks of life. My story took a turn when, at the prime of my life, I faced a near-death experience that crippled me for two years. In the wake of meningitis, I found myself, an accomplished dancer, educator, mother, spouse, mentor, and entrepreneur, unable to do anything for myself. To the world, I was successful, but to myself, I felt like a pitiful waste.

A Catalyst for Change:

In those moments of reflection during my road to recovery, I realized that the life I had been living wasn't truly mine. I had spent the majority of my life proving to everyone that I was generous, giving, and hardworking—yet, I wasn't fulfilled. That realization sparked a revolutionary decision: I was going to "Live Out Loud," no matter what anyone thought of me.

Creating the Live Out Loud (Vibrational) Sisterhood:

Amidst doubters who said I would never walk, dance, or work again, I persevered. I devoured self-help books, sought counsel, and traveled in search of an escape from my reality. It wasn't until I made up my mind to live on my terms that things changed. From the Live Out Loud Methodology, the Vibrational Sisterhood emerged—a community where women like you could share dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories.

The Birth of the "Passion Journal":

With the sisterhood thriving and ShEvolution shaping lives, the need for a companion, a guide to capture the essence of personal transformation, became clear. Enter the "Passion Journal"—your 90-day roadmap to navigate the highs and lows, triumphs, and breakthroughs. It's more than a journal; it's your personal narrative, the stepping stones toward your transformative journey.

Your Transformative Journey:

Now, this "Passion Journal" is your canvas, an extension of my mission—to create a safe space where your journey of empowerment takes flight. Each page is an invitation to embrace your dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories. Consider this journal your companion, your friend, and a piece of the community I've poured my heart into.

Your Story Unfolds:

You've likely faced challenges, maybe even tried everything with no success. That's why I developed the “Live Out Loud” methodology—to help you go from failure to triumph. To help you vibrate at such a high frequency that you attract the things you want in your life.
