About Elari

My work is dedicated to

all those who are ready to experience the miracle of who they are, as they create a life of purpose and joy! To live your truth, your full-self expression is the meaning and fulfillment you are looking for!

How I went from a definition of "success" that left me exhausted and unfulfilled to having a life and business that feeds my soul.

I graduated from college in the early eighties with a business degree from a Catholic university in Iowa. My spiritual education started very young, and even though I was immersed in one primary form of faith at that time, I always believed that all paths would ultimately lead to the center. I inherently knew that everyone and everything had a right to choose. And I knew that there was more to life than what we could see, or what we were being told. Maybe you can relate to this too?

Some Twists And Turns ...

I was a single mom with a beautiful daughter, Dawn. I chose her name because, like the emerging morning sun, a daughter brings great light into your world. As she learned to walk and interact with the world, she'd take out her story books at night, while I was studying for the next test, or writing the next paper. I was going to college full-time, and I also worked full-time as a single mom. Let's just say that my plate was more than full!

So, being a mom, putting myself through school, paying rent, working, maintaining a household, and all that comes with juggling very limited resources meant — I grew up quickly. Every moment was accounted for, and sometimes it felt really hard. I was also aware that being a single mom, in Iowa, in the 80s, while attending a Catholic University as a full-time business student, while working a full-time job, and taking out student loans to pay for my education, was not your typical college experience. I was certainly the subject of gossip and curiosity ... and sometimes it stung a lot. But, I also had wonderful friends, and a strong desire to be a good role model for my daughter. I wanted to show her that she could be or do anything. So, I learned to ignore the “interesting” remarks and questions for that time. I had other things to focus on that were far more important to me.

I didn't know it at the time but ...

the idea that I needed to be perfect, the drive to constantly push and prove myself … so I wouldn’t drop anything "important" ... to feeling that I had to always be and do more — that would eventually lead to cycles of burnout and self-doubt, even as I created what many people would see as a successful executive career. Yet, it didn't matter how much I achieved. Something was missing.

We all get wake up calls at various points in our lives. These moments are designed to get our attention so we question the status quo.

How do your soul-nudges show up for you?

Before starting my life on purpose coaching business in 2003, I had experienced more than a few spiritual “wake up calls”. Except for a few of my closest friends, I was keeping my "woo-woo" or mystical experiences to myself . I was in executive leadership positions for large companies for over 20 years with a long stretch of annual promotions. So, the psychic experiences I was having didn't fit into that world. I lived in the world of technology, consulting, retail, and publishing, learning everything I could , and I didn't want to be seen as weird either. Maybe you can relate to this too? I remembered the sting of being "different" from all those years ago. Despite all the outward stuff that looked like “success”, despite working hard, and doing all the stuff I thought I was supposed to do — I still didn’t feel fulfilled. I was exhausted. And I had this nagging feeling that I was missing something important. This void kept getting louder. I was being called toward something too , something that would be far more fulfilling ... but what?

My Big Spiritual Wake Up Call

My big spiritual wake-up call came in early 2003. By then, I'd lived in many places, received ever-bigger titles, went where I was needed, celebrated my daughter’s birthdays, visited family over holidays, and made some really amazing friends. At this point, my daughter had recently graduated from college, and I was living in Virginia Beach. It’s a place I chose to live, because I was starting to see that there was far more to life than what I had been allowing myself to experience.

A Big Twist

Then one spring night, I woke up from a sound sleep with a very abrupt zap to the left side of my neck. I bolted upright as I felt this intense surge of electricity moving through my body. And then ... there at the foot of my bed ... stood a Native American man in native dress. Despite the startling jolt to wake up, despite all the soul-nudges ... I didn’t believe what I was seeing. My rational mind searched for a quick, logical answer. I must be dreaming, I thought. So, I looked straight into the eyes of my visitor and said; “you’re not real”.

Reality got a lot bigger!

Something I Couldn't Explain Happened ...

My wise visitor smiled knowingly and replied; “Yes, I am”. As I went back to sleep, the last thing I remember thinking was “if you’re real, then prove it”. I got the distinct impression that he was smiling at me as I drifted back to sleep.

The next morning when I woke up, I found a beautiful white feather on my left shoulder.

I didn’t know what that meant at the time, other than something really strange and special had just happened. I searched for logical answers, but found no explanation. I had no birds in the house, no feather comforters or pillows. The windows were not open, and no one else was in the house. What might be obvious to you, took me some time to realize. I had just been given an official wake-up call.

So many wonderful experiences have happened since then; many that are not explainable, if we just see life through our five physical senses. I do know with certainty — that there is a reality much wider, and far more vast than the physical reality that we look at every day.

Where you stand is sacred soil because you're standing upon it!

I’ve discovered that there is way of living that feels miraculous. It's what ancient and modern day mystics write about. I have experienced it. And it is available to all of us, when we let ourselves explore, and believe in a reality that goes beyond our physical senses. We can live with a purpose that is grounded in our own guidance system, our own truth and desires!

My Guides once told me, that where we stand is sacred soil because we are standing upon it. We are each divine, unique and precious, and interconnected in ways that we cannot even imagine ... from a purely “physical perspective.”

There is a beautiful dance that we are part of. And your sacred call is part of that dance!

I feel blessed to have experienced such a wide variety of beauty and diversity in my life experiences. And to be honest, some of it didn’t feel very good as I was growing through it. But I am grateful for all of it!

Since my official wake-up call, I have written volumes, channeling the answers to life’s questions. And then I stepped away for a while. I can see that was necessary, so I could grow in ways that were needed to support what I am here to discover and do.

I have stepped into my life purpose in a deeper way, to shine light on the beauty of life, who we truly are ... and to help people discover and create a beautiful way to live, work and play! I have "come out of the closet" and talk about my spirit guides and interesting experiences with love and gratitude, even though I know they may feel strange to some people. There are many paths.

Which is why I am sharing what I know. There are many events right now that could have us believe that there’s a lot “wrong with the world”. But this is simply not true. There is a higher purpose and a divine order in all we experience, both the wanted, and what seems to be unwanted.

You and I are miracles, and it is an honor and a privilege to be alive!

My Guide, who woke me up all those years ago, is still with me, and he also gave me my name, Onawa. He is a member of my Spiritual Council, whom I’ve affectionately called, “The Council of 8”. Although, there aren’t always eight in attendance, sometimes more, sometimes fewer. They come and go as needed.

It was my Native Guide, my friend from ages past, White Eagle, who showed me The Sacred Wisdom Tree. This is one way I tap into deeper answers so I can share what I’ve learned with others, who are also playing in the sandbox of time and space.

So many wonders are there, awaiting the telling of their treasures … to assist us in understanding who we truly are, and to connect us to the sacred in the everyday, to find a more beautiful way to live, work and play! I have seen volumes there, and what is needed and wanted will be shared.

I am excited to see what will unfold, and I am so happy that you have decided to meet me on this adventure!

Walk in beauty,

Elari
