Quotes from Sonia Choquette

Good things happen when you also give yourself some room to breathe. Your nerves relax, your ego quiets down, and your spirit begins to shine a light on your path.

We create the perfect conditions for our intuitive channels to open up when giving our body and soul some rest, nourishment, and space.

Creator of the Universe and all forms and expressions that support the goodness of life, thank You for [fill in the blank] that You have blessed me with today.

The way to get rid of these unhappy campers is to become responsible for your body by giving it rest, proper food, and downtime. In addition, a good Epsom-salt bath works wonders for clearing your energy field and cleanses you of what's not yours. Put two cups of Epsom salt in a hot bath and sit and soak the psychic pollution out of you.

The key to success is not to expect anything other than giving yourself a little peace and quiet. If you think you must drift into nirvana to be "really" meditating (which is your ego talking), you'll just get frustrated and quit.

First was a clearing mantra called the Gayatri mantra, beautifully sung by a German woman named Deva Premal, which cleared away all negative energy both within and around us and called in peace and love in its place.

Just as people can be toxic or have bad vibes, so can places.

I worried that being unemotional would mean that I didn't care. Strangely enough, the opposite happened: the less emotionally reactive I was, the more accurately I could tune in to my intuition for guidance and at the same time feel compassion and love for my fellow human beings. When I was more reactionary, my vibes didn't work, so I felt neither.

It may not feel easy, and your inner child may still feel scared, but the minute you break free of this fear and articulate your true feelings, you reclaim your spirit's power. When you speak from the heart—your true Self—with courage, conviction, and calm, any psychic hold from the past is broken and you quickly reconnect to your inner voice and get back into a harmonious flow with your spirit.

There were two big lessons to be learned in all of this: first, the pain of the past is unfortunately not so easily stripped away, and second, not to allow anyone ever again to take a literal or figurative whack at me.

Words can be used to sow seeds of destruction or germinate gorgeous flowering experiences.

Learning to detach is a difficult skill for those of us who are naturally empathic. In picking up vibes, we tend to pick up everything, and it takes serious focus to avoid doing so.

My spiritual teachers taught me the importance and power of words early in my apprenticeship. I learned that we are all Divine Beings, co-creators with the Universe, and that our life is built through our words. Nothing we say is ever lost or impotent—in fact, each utterance is powerful beyond belief and commands the Universe to obey. As far as the Universe is concerned, what we say is law because the Universe takes everything we say as truth and strives to make it so.

It's a myth that caring requires commiserating. Caring means giving someone space to sort things out without throwing your own emotions into the mix. It's also important to listen to your vibes and not overtax your system.

The best way to maintain an extraordinary life is to make every thought and word you use or listen to as loving and nurturing as possible. Make it a personal value to speak truthfully, using the best words, speaking honestly from the heart and with respect for yourself and others.

the divorce wasn't a failure, just a destined ending, and it was simply time for my journey to continue in a different direction.

My favorite technique for detaching is to imagine that the world around me is a wonderful movie to learn from and enjoy, but I'm not the star of it. Just as I'd never get so lost in a film that I'd jump out of my seat and run toward the screen, I restrain myself from feeling the urge to absorb the energies around me and call them my own. Using this technique, I can observe the events around me with creative detachment.

There were days when I struggled with the feeling that I had wasted my life, remaining way too long in a marriage that wasn't working, and worried that it was now too late, or that I was too old, to ever have the kind of deep, comforting love and companionship I so yearned for and honestly felt I'd never fully had.

Expand your vocabulary to include accurate, beautiful, sensual, inspiring, thought-provoking, mysterious, and compelling words—words that express the beauty of your marvelous spirit.

Step #1. Identify how a bad vibe feels in your body. Pay attention to how you physically sense bad vibes, such as when someone is lying or misleading you, or when something does not feel right

Your body registers the bad vibe before your brain does. It senses the discordant energy and sends you a signal.

In addition, careless and profane speech is debilitating over time to a sensitive, intuitive being because it creates a dissonant, negative vibration. Swearing excessively or using vulgar language, especially in place of actual words, disturbs the soul. Although it may seem harmless, using this kind of language erodes your light body and seriously lowers your vibration.

It is also nearly impossible to get caught in someone's dramatic reaction if you both breathe together. This is called sharing a breath. It's a way to steer clear of a conflict and tune in when someone is agitated and truly tuned out. The way to do this is to start breathing in sync with that person, then slow your breathing to a deeper, calmer pace. The upset person will automatically follow your breathing and calm down too.

When you are both breathing calmly, you reduce the drama and even eliminate it. What's more, this is when your vibes can get through and offer a solution to the problem causing all the drama in the first place.
