I've become a spiritual person after surviving cancer. I meditate before I run a marathon as it helps me keep my stamina. I've just become a life coach. I am considering working as a meditation coach in Alaska. I want to share my meditation technique with others, even if it doesn't pay well. I learned about meditation to help me get through my cancer. I am not familiar with southwestern Alaska. Salmon is my favorite food. I'm trying to meditate in cold weather. I've experimented with mediation and essential oils. I don't think peppermint and lavender are good for meditation. I tried lemon essential oil. I live in New Mexico. I move often, around every six months. I want to see the whole world. I might move to Washington state. I like all of the places I have lived. I like adobe buildings. I want to live somewhere cool.
I live in Alaska and we don't have many life coaches here. I've never run a marathon. My brothers are monks and help me meditate. Lately I quit my job to join the monastery. They take care of my basic needs. I started studying meditation when a family member was diagnosed with cancer. She has been in remission for 14 years now. I meditate, sometimes for as long as 8 hours. I am a minimalist when it comes to meditating. I like lemon and lavender essential oils. I like vanilla oil to feel relaxed. Southwestern Alaska is my favorite region of the state. I love the Peulik Volcano there. I like remote, wild areas. I have never been to New Mexico. I haven't been to many other states. I have never been to Washington. I like warm weather. I like to visit cooler places.
I researched some job openings in Washington to see what area might be good to move to. What kind of work are you looking for? I think I want to continue my work as a life coach. But I think I think it would be too hard to move somewhere and try to start a new business at the same time. Ideally, if I could find a way to keep traveling, and continuing to life coach around the country, I would. That makes sense. Finding new clients might be hard. Could you keep working with your current ones? I could. I have started doing online seminars a couple times a week for people who can't make it in person, and people have really been responsive so far. It also gives me time to talk to people about different approaches on holistic medicines, meditation practices, etc.  Do you do a lot of work with oils? I am loving the new lemon essential oil I received from my order. Yes, actually. I have tried the lemon as well, and I really liked it. I was not a big fan of peppermint. I would definitely be willing to try more. If they are effective, maybe they are something I could share with my classes. What was it about peppermint that you don't like? What other holistic medicine do you use? I think it was just too strong for me. It made it too hard for me to focus and meditate. I have experimented a lot with aromatherapy, as well as massage therapy. I've found both to be extremely beneficial for me as well as some others.  Not to change the subject but where did you live before New Mexico. I've lived all over, really. But before I lived in New Mexico, I was living in Denver, Colorado. That's when I first discovered I had cancer and went into treatment.  Cancer has changed both of our lives that much can be said for it.
