Why do we find ourselves in certain situations when it comes to love? Why do we attract the same kind of partner? What is it about ourselves that others find unattractive? It's time to get real about love. In the best selling book, He's Just Not That Into You, we got a birds eye view into the male mind about how and why women get mixed messages. I once watched a movie, cant recall the name as I write this, but the main plot was about a woman who had to make the man break up with her in ten days for an article she was writing, so what did she do? She showered him with love and affection, and long story short I thought it was hysterical that in trying to make him break up with her, she choose to shower love. And it worked! But it backfired on both of them, because in the end they really did end up falling in love. The story was great, and she did every annoying clingy thing in the book to make him leave but in the end they ended up deeply in love.
Anyway, my point being....lets cut the chase and get real. Guys how do you know when she just isn't that into you? and ladies....how do you let go of the one who just isn't interested? Lets talk about it!
I'm looking forward to my next show because I'm being joined by a wonderful guest, Heidi Bilonick, who is stunningly beautiful and she is here to share her love secrets, and pointers, but also her experiences as to how its not always about being physically attractive, that love and heart issues go much deeper then meets the eye.
Heidi and I will be sharing first hand accounts of our own experiences, and taking questions from callers...so if you have love issues, questions about soulmates, karma, why men or women do what they do...this is the show for you!
Whether your single, married, divorced, new on the dating scene again, in a complicated situation, or trying to understand why you are attracted to certain love tangles, we want to hear from you! Send you questions to hillary@hillaryraimo.com or call in live on July 2nd and talk to us both on the air.

Early morning reflections
Well well...another fine day. Some early morning reflections. Enjoy...
Human nature is tough to figure out sometimes, but energy is energy, and when you understand energy, you can understand anything.
The human ego is a tricky thing, in order to see it fully, you have to be able to trick it into showing itself. Both with others, and ourselves.
The best protection against negativity and deception, is trusting intuition. Even when what it is telling you is something you don't want to really believe.
The body never lies.
Never risk losing what you have, for anything less then love. Love is worth losing everything for.
Live freely, trust God, your heart, your intuition, and your common sense.
Know a good friend when you have one, and never take the friendship for granted.
Smile more.
A Bedouin woman once told me that you always have to watch out for the cold wind of the desert. That it can sweep you off your feet, and take your soul in your sleep. That you should always face the wind, and listen to the messages it brings from the faraway. This way you never get taken by surprise. Those words have stayed with me and held their truth.
Always do the right thing by people.
Treat those you love and care about with respect and dignity.
If you think someone is deceiving you, they probably are.
Always stay true to yourself, and speak your truth at all times.
Food for thought....xoxox Hillary

Reflections on The Bridge
Ask and you shall receive!
I took a long walk this morning bright and early, and I found myself standing on a bridge, go figure... the fog was rising softly off the river, and the overcast sky hung low, its funny how things seem to come full circle. I remember standing on a bridge in Cairo, looking down in the Nile, making a wish...that wish came true..and now I stand here once again making another...and I know it will happen, because that's the way it is. You set your intentions, you manifest, and it happens. Whether your aware of it consciously or unconsciously, it happens all the same. Some one asked me today, why would I ask for what I want, well my answer is this...you ask for what you want whether you do it consciously or not. So what happens if you do it with intent and clarity? Sounds a bit more empowering to do it consciously, then to know what we are asking for is otherwise being guided by our unconscious mind that always seems to uproot our deepest fears, and secret desires no matter what. So why not be clear. Not in a selfish way, but in an empowered way with full intent and clarity.
I believe everything happens for a reason, and I live by that law. No exceptions. So as I stood there watching the river flow by me, I could feel this truth coming back up to the forefront of my mind once again. I had to smile because the last time I thought I knew what was meant for me, something completely different happened and because of it something amazing came into my life. I had to trust then, and I have to trust now, that even though the "I" wants one thing, its not always what the bigger picture has in mind. So I regroup and let go... very hard sometimes...but I have to be faithful to 'the law' and trust it. Id be disrespecting myself if I didn't.
So on the New moon, I let go, and plant the seeds of trust. That what I feel is truth, and close my eyes and know deep inside me that if its meant to be the greater plan will keep it in my life, and if its not then it will go away effortlessly, although perhaps with a touch of heartbreak. But what is heartbreak except maybe just the egos way of holding on.
So it is with life. A constant flux of give and take, letting go and bringing in. Being conscious, setting your intent, and being able to stay centered enough for clarity to guide you.
I sat outside last night on my deck, and watched a beautiful cloud drift by reflecting the setting sun...the longest day of the year, the Solstice. It was like watching a beautiful dream pass by, crossing paths with mine briefly before it moved on. I enjoyed being a part of that dream, I closed my eyes and let it fill me, feeding a part of me that hasn't been fed in a long time. The sun set and the cloud moved on...much like the things in life we love.
So today, think about what you intend for your life. Stand on a bridge in your mind between your old dream and a new one. What can you bring with you? and what do you have to leave behind? I've come to the conclusion that the bridge represents, for me, the space between worlds, the way of the manifester, the shapeshifter, that's where we live. Being able to shapeshift into one place or another. But in doing so, we have to remember to come back to ourselves, and remember who we truly are, or we get caught in the dream and forget how to get out.
Happy New Moon...

Call of the Wild..
I just recently returned from a three day event in Sedona Arizona, and filming for a new documentary film called "Hope for Humanity" produced by Voice Entertainment, and a small weekend side trip to Vegas. It was only 8 days out of my ordinary life, that felt like several weeks.
I recalled looking out my hotel window one afternoon, watching the busy streets below, the bright lights of the city, and in the far off background, the beautiful mountain ranges that decorated the horizon like jagged jewels. It was like watching two very different worlds collide. One made of people, and the other made by nature. I wondered at human behaviour, and our ability to lose ourselves in a world catering to every whim. As I walked through the hotels, and down the strip, I watched as people lost themselves in the bright lights, and sounds that filled the air all around them. Myself included at times...
But something kept bringing me back to myself. I would see past the blazing lights on billboards, and see the stars shining in the sky. The pull I felt was undeniable. High up on the 28th floor in my hotel, I had a birds eye view of the city below me. The mountains had the same effect. I was pulled there, vs being seduced by the indulgence of the streets below.
I remember sitting there one day, and knowing the mountains on the horizon represented who I am; the wild, untouched, raw feeling of getting back to my roots, and leaving behind, when I have too, the ready made man made world around me.
My life has so significantly changed over the last few years. I can enjoy the man made worlds we live in, appreciate their use in my life, but for the first time, I truly felt that they are not who I am. I came to realize how much I love my freedom, and my space. How fulfilled being out in nature makes me feel. How doing the work I do feeds me on a levels I never thought possible.
It is like realizing that life is a dream. That I can choose to participate in any number of universes right here in my own world. That you can step into someone else's dream, stay awhile, and leave if you like, that everyone carries there own self-created universe around with them.
We cross now and then. We over lap. Co-mingle. It can be enjoyable to share dreams, and wrap around each other, but in the end you still have to continue on your own way. Sometimes side by side, and sometimes very far away from one another.
I looked at the view before me, and I saw beauty on both sides. I could appreciate the power each held. I could walk in both places. One foot in each place even. But in the end, it was the mountains I belong too. The wild.
As I walked the strip at night, I found myself standing on a bridge. What is it with me and bridges! I felt everyone walk by me, and although I was surrounded by constant movement, I felt time stand still. I looked down at the water below me, and was reminded of my time in Cairo. How many strange and wonderful things that have happened since I returned. I smiled to myself, and felt completely whole as a human being. I felt like I was living a storyline. The fun part was knowing, I was writing it. That I could change it at any point I wanted. But I just let it happen. I flowed with it. I closed my eyes right there on that very spot, and I felt a kinship with everyone around me. I looked up at the moon, and knew deep down inside, I was home within myself.
I feel massive change coming in my life. Just when you think its already happened....you get more. I know my life will never be the same, and that the days ahead hold much transition for me. I'm glad. I'm ready.
The Southwest holds a very special place in my heart, and every time I visit, something magical happens. this time was no different. Again the lessons can happen in the strangest places...and in ways you least expect them too.
Now what happened the night we were watching the Full Moon rise on Cathedral rock in Sedona...is another story! To be continued...

By chance?
Do you think things happen for a reason?
I have been seeing in my own life, as well as those of my clients a huge influx of acknowledging synchronistic events in our lives, more so now then before it seems. The first 'new age' book I ever read was The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield, years ago it was gifted to me by a man I was seeing at the time, who I believe came into my life in the form of divine intervention. The relationship was short term, but very powerful. He was much older than I was, and I had just left a very bad, dysfunctional and abusive relationship. He showed up on New Years Eve...walked into my life, and I was never the same.
He sent a letter to me at my job one day, and it was a photocopy of the Random acts of kindness. He simply signed it. At that point in my life, I so needed that message. He gave me a copy of The Celestine Prophecy, I read it, and my life was literally changed forever. It pushed me on a path of seeking answers and truth to life's larger questions.
I am the woman I am today partly because of that relationship. We lost track of each other after about a year, it was never meant to be a long term romantic relationship, but what was needed from it, was indeed given on many levels. This man showed me a side to life that I had forgotten existed. He made me smile, and laugh. We traveled together, and I felt safe and secure with him. Something I hadn't felt in a long time. I believe it was a synchronistic event that he came into my life at all...let alone gave me a copy of the first book that partly made me who I am today.
One thing had to happen back then however, that I see relating to many of the same kind of happenings not only in my own life today, but in others I talk with in passing...was I had to let it in. Sometimes in life, something so out of the ordinary happens, that we tend to brush it off, dismiss it, explain it away, and we lose it.
Free will is what good and evil have been fighting over since the beginning of time. We always have a choice. I could have rationalized meeting him and walked away, and never looked back. I have no idea where I'd be today if I had done that. Something inside me made me stay. It went against all my survival instincts, instincts that had been built up over time due to how I grew up, and what I had been through up until them. Everything in my head said run away, don't trust this, but I refused to listen for some reason. Instead I took it day by day, and everyday I made myself be still, and open. That was it...
Having a book cross your path seems so simple. So meaningless perhaps. But for me it was one of the most defining and powerful realizations I needed then. I look back on that time in my life with so much appreciation not only for him, but for myself. I am so glad I paid attention, and trusted my intuitive sense instead of my mind.
When something, or someone, crosses your path...wait. See what happens. Stay open. What is the message?
It is my belief today, that EVERYTHING happens for a reason. Even the seeming less nonsense, has a purpose. So many things have to align for two people to cross paths, its unimaginable. When this happens and you are AWARE it has happened, and you know it is powerful, you still have a choice. Stay or go? Stay or go? Back and forth you will go inside, rationalizing, over thinking, survival instincts will set in because of what you have been through in your life. So it is to be human.
I would like for you to consider the possibility of staying. Wait for the miracle. Don't leave just before it shows itself to you. You will know when you have what you need, and then it will fade by itself.
Some things come and go for awhile, a season, or a lifetime. Sometimes several lifetimes..
Is it possible we plan for these events prior to coming here? If we knew we were 'going in', and wouldn't remember our mission while there, would we arrange crossings, synchronistic events, to help guide us, to remember our higher purpose here?
Free will is a powerful thing. In fact it is the only thing we as human beings, really ever 'control'. Control free will, and you control the world. Reclaim your free will, and you free yourself in ways you could never imagine.
Trust what crosses your path today. Trust the higher meaning. Stay for the miracle. Expand your consciousness beyond its comfort zone.

The Pause between inhale and exhale
I updated my status today on facebook after doing a show last night with Author Josh Baran who wrote a great book called The Tao of Now, and also having just recorded with Robert Friedman, president of Hampton roads publishing who recently released a co-authored children's book with renown author Eckhart Tolle, called Milton's Secret, all about The Power of Now! I am seeing a consistent theme pop up this week for me in my life. Staying in the NOW.
Having talked about this very topic endlessly this week....as I got ready to send out my thoughts on the worldwide ripple of facebook, across endless miles and who knows where else...I thought carefully about what I wanted to say and how I wanted to say it. Sounds crazy? Maybe...but how often do we really think about what we say or how we feel, and its effect on others?
This week at my meetup group here locally in NY, we had a speaker come in to speak of the physical characteristics of people and how to read energy accordingly, and how to shift our own energy so we could help LIFT others. It was based on Barbara Brennans work, and very informative. I thought to myself..I am seeing a message streaming along this week in everything that is manifesting. I'm crossing paths with experiences, people and such that ask me to consider the co-creative efforts of the greater good, and how I contribute and effect that.
So today I wrote on my 'status update' , and for those rare few people out there who do not belong to facebook...it simply means you share with others what your thought is at that and any given moment! I carefully chose my words. Realizing that even in this simple act, power lives...there is a choice of creating beauty, indifference, or hate.
It made me realize, once again, just how powerful our words and actions are, and how far-reaching there effects can be.
Josh and I, spoke about this last night. I even mentioned facebook ripple effect...how it represents on a symbolic level the power of our thoughts. How even without consciously meaning too, they change our experience and the experience of those around us.
Try it today. If you feel someone being negative, heavy...and in fear or shadow... change your energy and lift yourself, and in doing so you lift others and create an air of magic.
I love being 'in love', with life, beauty, joy, power, with people, and projects...it is my muse and it lifts and inspires me, feeds my soul and makes me feel like I can do anything. Its never about the object itself...its about the FEELING that creates and changes everything within your experience of life. When you see a couple in love, you can feel it...when someone is in love, and they walk through the office, they glow, it spreads... like a fine scent of a rare perfume. It touches everyone and makes their heart smile.
Its when we shut down love that it creates pain. When we close the door on that feeling, because on some level we think it is wrong, or shameful, or we aren't worthy. We are all worthy of being in love. We all know what it feels like.
It is the feeling of pause in between inhale and exhale. The silent, still love that exists outside of time and space, that is beyond anything we can express in words or project onto an object. It is a state of mind, a feeling that must be given room within us to FEEL and explore, to heal and change - transform the lead to gold.
I had a dream last night, I was sitting in the desert watching the sun set. Listening to the wind. I could feel a heartbeat as I laid my head down on the sand, I closed my eyes in the dream, and I could feel the love between me and all that is. There was no separation between me and the wind, or the sand, or the heat of the setting sun. I whispered into the wind...felt my words become one, they wrapped around me. They sank into my bones....I inhaled, paused, and then exhaled. The power of thought, creation, and manifesting craves the pause of love infused within it so that it may be given birth in a powerful way.
I opened my eyes within this dream...and I saw a man standing there dressed in black. His eyes stared back at me, and I could feel him. The space between him and I, like the inhale and exhale, was the pause.
So today I honor my vision, and the message it brings of choosing my experience. Letting myself feel my own truth, and to stay out of fear. Planted firmly in the present moment takes no effort. Its a simple choice. Trusting it is the key....

It made me realize, once again, just how powerful our words and actions are, and how far-reaching there effects can be.
Josh and I, spoke about this last night. I even mentioned facebook ripple effect...how it represents on a symbolic level the power of our thoughts. How even without consciously meaning too, they change our experience and the experience of those around us.
Try it today. If you feel someone being negative, heavy...and in fear or shadow... change your energy and lift yourself, and in doing so you lift others and create an air of magic.
I love being 'in love', with life, beauty, joy, power, with people, and projects...it is my muse and it lifts and inspires me, feeds my soul and makes me feel like I can do anything. Its never about the object itself...its about the FEELING that creates and changes everything within your experience of life. When you see a couple in love, you can feel it...when someone is in love, and they walk through the office, they glow, it spreads... like a fine scent of a rare perfume. It touches everyone and makes their heart smile.
Its when we shut down love that it creates pain. When we close the door on that feeling, because on some level we think it is wrong, or shameful, or we aren't worthy. We are all worthy of being in love. We all know what it feels like.
It is the feeling of pause in between inhale and exhale. The silent, still love that exists outside of time and space, that is beyond anything we can express in words or project onto an object. It is a state of mind, a feeling that must be given room within us to FEEL and explore, to heal and change - transform the lead to gold.
I had a dream last night, I was sitting in the desert watching the sun set. Listening to the wind. I could feel a heartbeat as I laid my head down on the sand, I closed my eyes in the dream, and I could feel the love between me and all that is. There was no separation between me and the wind, or the sand, or the heat of the setting sun. I whispered into the wind...felt my words become one, they wrapped around me. They sank into my bones....I inhaled, paused, and then exhaled. The power of thought, creation, and manifesting craves the pause of love infused within it so that it may be given birth in a powerful way.
I opened my eyes within this dream...and I saw a man standing there dressed in black. His eyes stared back at me, and I could feel him. The space between him and I, like the inhale and exhale, was the pause.
So today I honor my vision, and the message it brings of choosing my experience. Letting myself feel my own truth, and to stay out of fear. Planted firmly in the present moment takes no effort. Its a simple choice. Trusting it is the key....

WOW! Has it really been that long since I last blogged??? Well, I am definitely overdue then! So much has happened since I last wrote to all of you...where do I start =)
OK, first thing is first. Yes we went to Egypt, for those of you who follow me on facebook, already know because I have posted TONS of pictures, and videos of our journey. Please consider joining me next March in 2010 if you can, as it will be another life adventure not to be missed. If you would like to stay updated consider joining my weekly mailing list on my website www.hillaryraimo.com and/or add me on your facebook page!
So what is on my mind today? hmmmm.
Today I find myself thinking about love. I know, I know.. but seriously. How do you know when you truly love someone? I think it is the spark of chemistry. When spending time with someone special makes you feel more alive, happier inside about yourself, and the interactions are filled with connection...that's when you know.
Ok, I can hear you some of you asking what do you do when you are with someone and that WAS there, but isn't anymore? Well... you have to find a way to create it. You have to shapeshift into exactly the kind of person you wish your partner to be and that energy will co-create the same in your partner.
Spice it up a bit! If the same old, same old is in your life, than you need a makeover in your love life. Surprise them in the areas that create the most heat! If you know what I mean ;-)
Change it up, loosen up your comfort zone and let go.
Look, remember that feeling when you met someone for the first time, and your stomach shifted and turned, we called them butterflies....that can be re-created with your partner if its been awhile. It may take some effort at first, because old boring habits are tough to break, but it can be done.
For women, try channeling the Goddess. For men, try channeling a powerful symbol... like RA! The Sun God...make it fun.
When you are with someone, really be with them. Be present, make them the center of your attention, and great things will happen. That spark will reignite and you will feel the heat return.
For those that have the heat...use it! Let it take you to places you may have only dreamt of! Let go, and live.
In any relationship presence is key. A person can tell when you are not present with them, when your mind is distracted, and your thoughts are elsewhere. The heat becomes a luke warm...and the spark will eventually dim. When you speak to someone, make them your full attention, bring in the power of NOW, and let that magic work.
Spring is a time for love. The world around us is waking up....and our Kundalini naturally rises, and we feel an instinctual magnet drawing us close to others to co-create. So whether it is with someone new, or not so new...let that rising bring life to your interaction. Feel the presence, open to the heat, and let it transform you. Like the Phoenix rising from the ashes, let your love life be reborn!
Until next time,
xoxo
