Healthy Chicks in the Community: A Passionate, Transformational, Chakra Clearing Expert
Good afternoon Healthy Chicks, and happy almost weekend! I’ve been super busy these past couple weeks between taking fitness classes, working on freelance writing pieces, finding our new apartment (which I adore!) and prepping for sweetgreen’s Boston opening so I apologize if I’ve been a little MIA on the blog front.
While it’s great to be busy, every once in a while it’s nice to pause, unplug and look within to give yourself a little reset. You know, to check in with yourself and ask “How am I feeling?” “Am I nourishing myself?” Last week, I made sure to take some “me time” to really find some clarity. During this week, I was fortunate enough to be meeting with Stacy Slawitsky (who you’ll meet in a moment) who was kind enough to do a complimentary chakra clearing session on me to break through some of those energy blocks. During our session, I learned that I was taking in a lot of other people’s “stuff” & that my fear and lack of confidence was holding me back from doing some pretty darn amazing things. It was quite fascinating, and I left feeling a little lighter, a little more at ease and a little less cluttered. A pretty amazing feeling to say the least.
Alas, I’m thrilled to introduce you to this week’s spotlight on Healthy Chicks in the Community Stacy Slawitsky, Founder of ZenConnect and all around down-to-earth cool gal. I’ll let Stacy take it from here!
NAME/AGE: Stacy Slawitsky,35
BLOG/TWITTER: http://zenconnect.net/category/blog/, @ZenConn
CURRENT CITY: Boston
PHOTO TAKEN: After a speaking gig at the Red House Arts Center in Syracuse, NY. We were taking shots in random places around town. I LOVE that the location was not planned in advance. It goes to show if you go with the flow, cool things can happen. J
WHAT YOU DO FOR WORK: I help women entrepreneurs release their energetic blocks/garbage so they can unleash their full power to profit in their business!
NUMBER ONE PASSION: Help women transform through energy work. It was so transformative for me in my journey from a rigid, miserable corporate road warrior to where I am now. I am super passionate about sharing these practices with others!
I FEEL MY HEALTHIEST SELF WHEN I AM: Meditating, eating whole foods and listening to my bod and what it needs (which may mean sitting on my butt and doing absolutely nothing for a night).
BUT I AM ALSO A REAL GIRL & SOMETIMES: I can be really hard on myself and run by body and mind to the ground when they are telling me to SLOW DOWN!
TOP THREE KITCHEN STAPLES: Almond milk, lots of veggies (cucumbers and grape tomatoes are my faves) and Chicken
NUMBER ONE GUILTY PLEASURE: Hamburgers
EXERCISE THAT MAKES YOU SHINE: Kettle bells, swimming, long walks along the Charles River and yoga
FAVORITE COMFORT FOOD: Roasted sweet potatoes sprinkled with cinnamon, yum.
MESSAGE YOU’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH OTHER HEALTHY CHICKS:
There is SO much info out there on what to eat and how to exercise. Find the path to wellness that works for YOU and your body. Know that it may change over time and that’s ok too!
That said, we can eat all the whole foods and exercise till we are blue in the face. But It takes a courageous chick with self-awareness and perseverance to STOP, get off the treadmill and be introspective about one’s life and what is or isn’t working for us. If something isn’t working, take it by the balls and ask yourself what can you do about it and who can help?
Last not but not least, have FUN! Don’t take yourselves too seriously, dance around in your living room every once in awhile, blow some bubbles at the beach, go for a run that’s not your standard route and leave the stopwatch at home.
Get your FREE Grounded Girl’s Guide to Chakra Power where you will see the blocks holding you back in your career & unleash your power to profit with purpose at www.zenconnect.net.
P.S. Stacy and I will be hosting a free 60-minute live webinar on Tuesday, 6/18 where we tackle your toughest battles with binge eating, guilt, cravings and all that other juicy stuff. Watch our video and pre-register here!

Excellent method there. Glad it woerkd for him. One thing though. And this is something that absolutely drives me crazy, and harp about to my people all the time- when you are talking into a radio microphone- DO NOT PUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT ON THE MIKE!!!! Or you end up sounding like our friend, the RC PUA. That is all.

focus on body = no EGO (illusion of self image)Thanks for this missing link.Hopefully I unntsreadd, why it works. Please correct me if I am wrong:When I am focused on my body, my consciousness cannot focus on my mind stream chatter. The mind chatter is just a constant repetition of what I have learned already (usefull und useless habits). My EGO wants to stick to it because habits are predictable and the EGO is frightend by the unknown. The illusion of my self image gets in the way between me and her/him. It disturbs the rapport. She/He might get drawn to her/his self-illusions herself.Instead, when I am focused in my body, I cut of the power of the self-illusion und I am able to stay in the moment and realize what the person in front of me is realy like. The rapport stays.New expierience are given space to manifest themself. Please give me a feedback on this.

One thing I’d prefer to say is the fact that car insurance cancellations is a feared experience so if you’re doing the proper things like a driver you will not get one. Some individuals do obtain the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by the insurance company and several have to fight to get more insurance following a cancellation. Low-priced auto insurance rates are often hard to get from cancellation. Understanding the main reasons regarding auto insurance termination can help owners prevent sacrificing one of the most important privileges offered. Thanks for the tips shared by your blog.
