​I have always had a love/hate relationship with board games. On one hand, I love coming together to play, have fun, and enjoy each other's company. But on the other hand, I hate it when the fun of the game turns into the kill of the competition.

I can remember family games of Monopoly as a child. How I loved playing with my older brother and sister...at first. But inevitably it would turn into a war of sorts between the two of them and I would find an excuse to leave the game and retreat back into my own little peaceful world of Barbies and stuffed animals.

I have had that same experience over and over again in this lifetime. I can remember starting new jobs and working with teams of people that I loved and enjoyed. But sooner or later the competing would start and things would turn ugly which was usually a signal to me that the time had come to move on.

Or was it?

Now that I am older I wonder if I was put in those situations to help change those environments. It has always seemed very obvious to me that life can be played one of two ways...like a competition, or like a cooperative effort.

If you are playing life from a place of competition it is filled with comparing yourself to others, proving yourself, a constant state of striving for what’s next, and a need to outsmart and win no matter what the cost. This breeds emotional ups and downs. It’s all about “success”...you are happy when you win and sad or angry when you lose. Mistakes become feared and avoided. Vulnerability is seen as a weakness so relationships become strained and distant. You may end up winning, but at what cost?

But if you are playing the game of life from the viewpoint that it is a cooperative effort you are going to see how each individual contributes to the whole, how your gifts are wanted and needed by others, how by contributing your gifts you can help lift everyone to a higher possibility, that surrounding yourself with people who are smarter than you is the best way to learn and grow, and that the easiest for you to win is to help others win too. This breeds emotional contentment. It’s all about being helpful...you are either focused in on helping yourself or focused out on helping others; the more balanced you are, the more content you will be. Mistakes become celebrated as an opportunity to learn and grow with the help of others. Vulnerability becomes your strength as it fortifies relationships by allowing others to be helpful to you. Everyone ends up winning.

When I was younger I felt like maybe I was the only one who saw the world this way and now I wish more people could see it this way because their lives would be so much more peaceful. And that’s why I am sharing it here with you today.

I’d love to hear your thoughts…?

In 2008, in our very first A Course in Miracles class, we began our journey by asking ourselves what was our intention for being part of this work. I remember telling my beloved friend Grace (who I had just met at that point) that what I really wanted more than anything was heaven on earth. And even though I had no idea what that meant or what it would end up looking like, it was absolutely my soul’s truth.

Grace and I still meet weekly for A Course in Miracles and I am still working on my heaven on earth…

You see in the beginning it was all about what I wanted to create, and I created it. Then it was about who I wanted to be, and I became it. Next was about what I wanted to do, and I did it. And then about what I wanted to have, and I have it. Nowadays it is about what I want to experience, and I am happy to say that most days I experience it. 

This process has taken me years of dedication. But it is because of all that time and all that work that I was able to figure out how to help you more efficiently so that you don’t have to spend tens of thousands of dollars and decades of your life trying to figure out how to live a life of sustained peace, love, joy, and enlightenment. 

Actually, that has become my heaven on earth...teaching others to create their heaven on earth and then teaching those who want to coach others in creating their heaven on earth. This consciousness is expanding and I am most grateful to be part of it.

When I started out in the field of metaphysics in the late 1980s I would attend classes once a week with incredibly inspirational teachers and mentors. I would leave the classes feeling amazing but by the time class rolled around the following week, I felt like I really “needed” it because I was depleted, exhausted, and miserable once again. But after class, I was inspired and encouraged all over again! 

I stayed on this rollercoaster for many years even though I had a strong spiritual practice each day. The problem wasn’t in reaching the higher states of consciousness, it was in sustaining them! But then during the dark days of quarantine during Covid-19, I sat down and channeled this beautiful program called Inward Bound.

The beauty of the program is that instead of people meeting up once a week they were being immersed in the work for an eight-week period with miraculous results. I was watching shy insecure women become powerful leaders, seeing women who had no idea what they wanted to do with their lives find their passion and move forward towards their dreams, and watching all of my clients become healthier and more vibrantly energetic every day.

The funny thing is that my clients used to pay me $95 per hour weekly over years of working together to get the same results my clients are now getting in eight short weeks for a fraction of the cost. And it’s because I am guiding them through a structured program that builds upon itself each week. They are working through the online course materials, attending weekly group sessions, having individual coaching sessions every week, and connecting with their team daily. 

Everything works together synergistically to support you in moving forward into your happily ever after at lightning speed...if you do the work. I’m not your fairy godmother and I don’t have a magic wand so I can’t do your work for you. But I can help you enjoy the process and feel loved and supported along the way.

My question to you is...are you going to wait until you die to experience your heaven, or are you ready to do that right here and now? The choice is yours…

If you think you are ready…sign up now for the Inward Bound Program. There are a couple of different payment options so you can select the one that works best for you.

And if you’d like to talk with me first before making your decision, schedule a Discovery Call. It’s an hour-long session to help you discover what your heaven looks like, a plan to help you create it, and an opportunity for you to experience what it’s like to work with me. 

You really do deserve to be enjoying your heaven on earth. Right here. Right now.

​PS- Please leave a comment below with the one area of your life that could most use a heavenly makeover...

​Recently one of my dear friends was in a horrible car accident that caused a spinal cord injury at C-4. The doctors told her that she was going to be a quadriplegic.

At that moment she had a decision to make...was she going to trust the information that was outside of her (the doctor's opinion) or the information that was coming from within (her higher guidance)? Because her spirit was telling her that this was her next opportunity on her spiritual path that was going to allow her to become who she came here to be...a healer.

Luckily, she chose to listen to the voice within and she has spent the past few months inspiring all of us who know her with her strength and resilience. Last week when we spoke she joyfully shared that her new favorite thing in physical therapy is practicing standing! Yes, that from a woman who was diagnosed with quadriplegia. Impressive, right?

It just goes to show you how amazing the mind really is. It has the ability to create whatever it is we are focused on. But that can be a two-edged sword because it makes it very clear that everything we have and are experiencing in our life, we thought into creation. Even the not-so-great stuff!

And then when we're experiencing the not-so-great stuff what happens...? All of these unhealthy emotions come up and get wrapped around the situation and we end up feeling completely stressed and overwhelmed. That's why this week I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the 3 simple steps to go from overwhelmed to empowered...

So, I'd love to hear from you! Please leave a comment below with any thoughts or comments and let's start a discussion on ways to keep ourselves empowered emotionally. I look forward to connecting with you...

With love and light,
Keli

PS- I encourage you to check out the free Emotional Empowerment Webinar that I mentioned in the video. I have gotten some really great feedback on how helpful it is.

​Sometimes in our crazy world it can be challenging to see the grace and beauty that surrounds us. This week we are going to explore some thoughts and ideas that will help you find a new perspective.

I hope you found value in today's talk. Here's a review of the highlights:

• Perception vs Knowledge
• Worrying is a prayer for what we don't want. Manifesting what we focus on.
• Healing from the political divide = focusing on what we want and coming together to make it happen.
• I want heaven on earth which starts with peace within> Invitation to Spiritual Awakenings Class

Please leave a comment below if you'll be joining us for the Spiritual Awakenings Class on Wednesday evenings at 6pm and don't forget to schedule now and reserve your seat. I'm looking forward to growing in love and knowledge with you!

With love & light,
​Keli

One of the hardest questions I ever have to answer is "What do you do?" You would think that at my age I would have my snappy "elevator pitch" all lined up and ready to go which would sound a little something like this...

I help people achieve their goals and dreams by nurturing their Spirit. I inspire, educate, and empower them to believe in their Self so that they can live their life to the fullest. And I do all that by combining my experience as a Naturopathic Doctor, Personal Growth & Development Trainer, EnergyWorker and as a Life Coach to help my clients reach the goals they have set for themselves.

But even that doesn't come close to what I really do. I've even tried asking my friends and clients for feedback on why they come to me. Their answers make it even more confusing...

• I come to you when I need a new perspective. It's usually right when I think I can't stand my husband for one more second!
• When I feel lost and overwhelmed. Sometimes it's a physical issue, other times it's emotional. But it is always when I am feeling stuck and have no idea how to get myself back on track.
• It's a God thing...you have a way of helping me hear and understand what God needs me to know.
• You help me be a better person. I am a better boss, partner, and friend because of the work I have done with you.

See what I mean? My clients experience all sorts of varied results, so how am I supposed to create a cookie-cutter response to the What Do You Do question...? 

What I have come to realize is that over all of these many years that I have been doing "my" work, that my greatest prayer has been answered. When I was young I would pray every day to be used by God as an instrument of healing...and that is exactly what I witness every day in my sessions with my clients. I get to see them heal physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually, financially, in their relationships, through their work, and in the level of joy they are experiencing in their lives.

And now for my confession...
I must confess that in my sessions I am not "doing" anything. I simply show up with the intention of helping, and my clients show up with the intention of healing, and God does the rest. Which is probably why my clients experience so many "miracles". You know the old saying...Whenever two or more are gathered in my name there am I with them (Matthew 18:20). I simply help people access their innate connection to God so that they can heal their lives.

I have always had the ability to see the very best in people, even when they are having difficulty seeing it in themself. I have also always had the ability to "receive higher guidance" in order to help people move forward from where they are to where they want to be with grace and ease. I love people deeply and want nothing more than to see them succeed and be happy. And helping them do that gives me incredible fulfillment. 

A perfect example is my client "Nancy" who was a 26 year old elementary teacher who came to me because she had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer and her doctors had all told her there was nothing they could do, and that she needed to get her things in order. She was scared and angry but she was not ready to die, so when a friend had mentioned me to her she made an appointment. She had a clear vision of what her life was going to look like on the other side of cancer and in our sessions together she received clear guidance on what she needed to do in order to heal herself so that she could make that vision her reality, and she did! About 8 months after we started working together she went back to visit her doctor (who was shocked to see she was still alive) and the only thing her doctor could say was that they must have misdiagnosed her. The truth is that they simply underestimated the power that she had within herself to heal. To this day there is nothing I enjoy more than receiving updates from Nancy about her happy life she is enjoying with her husband and kids, and knowing the amazing difference she is making in the life of her students.

What can a Life Coach do for you?
A Life Coach can help you get from where you are to where you want to be in your life. Just keep in mind that the only thing that limits your possibilities with your coach is your coach's own limiting beliefs...so pick someone who absolutely believes in you, and that has helped other people accomplish the same types of goals you have set for yourself.

​As for me, I am just grateful that I get to continue to be an instrument of healing. I am currently working on an online course that I will be bringing to you for free in the very near future. All you have to do to make sure that you are among the first to have an opportunity to join the Launch Into Spiritual Enlightenment Workshop is to join the waitlist now!

It has certainly been the beginning of a fascinating year! It seems like people's anger levels and intolerance's are reaching an all time high. It got me wondering to my Self...what in heaven's name is going on here??? So I started doing a little research (of course!) and I found some interesting information from the astrology world.

For the last few weeks several planets have been creating a Grand Cross in the sky which means different energy patterns have quite literally been "squaring off". That explains why we have been seeing the same thing happening between people everywhere we look. And this Grand Cross is also helping to bring to a close what we started back in 2008. That helps explain why this election year seems way more volatile than any I remember in the past.

The real question is...what does this mean to you? Are you noticing your intolerances being flushed up, and when they do, how are you choosing to deal with it? By reacting with judgement and hatred, OR proactively choosing to love and accept that which you do not understand?

And what were you beginning in 2008? Did you fulfill what you had envisioned, or do you still have work to complete?

For me 2008 was the time when I began to own my talents as a teacher and healer. This morning in my journal I realized that I am complete with that dharma, and am ready to move on to my next journey as an author/speaker. I'm not even sure what that means...but I do know that it fills my heart with blissful anticipation of what is to come.

Take some time this weekend to do a little inner reflection. Imagine how different the world would be if everyone was living a life they loved. That's the vision I'll be holding for you. 

​And promise me you won't put off doing your inner work! You deserve to be living the life of your dreams. As the old saying goes, "If not now, when?"

With love & light,
Keli

Have you ever found yourself uninspired? Or worse yet, trudging aimlessly through life trying to make the best of a bad situation? I'm sure you probably have at one point or another.

Recently I found myself in that very state, and I must confess it was less than pleasant. Luckily for me the universe lead me to this awesome video. It was an absolute game changer for me, and so I wanted to share it with you. Please take the time to watch it, and if you can't do it right now, bookmark this page and set a reminder for yourself to come back to it when you have 20 minutes to spare. You'll be grateful you did!

I give you the ever brilliant Simon Sinek...enjoy!

Finding your why can be a daunting task. It was for me. After three weeks of struggling I finally found my "Why": to create soulful connections so that we can uplift each other to the highest possibility.


If you don't have the time or energy to spend three weeks (or longer) searching, I can help you discover your why in a fabulous process that only takes about 7 to 10 hours. In this interactive, online, video-led course, Simon Sinek guides you step-by-step through his Why Discovery process, and I will work with you as your partner to help you articulate your why.

Sound awesome? It is! Want more info? Contact me. Ready to get started? Click here.

Now for this week's challenge...
Please share below the one thing that really stuck out for you in this video. Unless you know your why, in which case Start with Why. :-)

With love & light,
Keli Ackroyd

I was born to create soulful connections so that we can lift each other to the highest possibility. Throughout my life I have done this in many different ways...from being a cheerleader to a Naturopathic Doctor; but I have always done it. It is my WHY. The underlying reason for everything I do.

Luckily I was blessed to have parents who recognized and nurtured me to the best of their abilities, and where they were lacking I took up the slack.

This week I encourage those of you that are parents to objectively look at your parenting style to determine if you are nurturing your children for who they are, or trying to turn them into who you think they should be. Remember...they are perfect exactly as God created them, all you have to do is love and accept them for the amazing gifts that they are.

Your challenge for this week is to examine your relationship with your Self. Are you nurturing who you came here to be, or trying to turn yourself into something else? Do you know your why? Or do you need someone to help lift you to Your highest possibility? If you do...I'm here.

With love & light,
