When I first began working with clients as a Transformational Life Coach I met so many people who said they’d love to work with me personally, but just didn’t have the means. Because of that, I began to create CD’s and email coaching programs to provide people with easy and affordable access to the concepts and material that in my experience had been most life-changing for my personal coaching clients. However, some people couldn’t even afford to purchase those.
I personally would like everyone to be able to afford my products and services, as I am committed to helping anyone who truly desires to live their Soul’s purpose. I’d love nothing better than for all people on the planet to wake up to their inherent Greatness.
However, I realize that it absolutely does not help anyone for me to join them in lack consciousness — I’d much rather them join me in my belief that we are limitless in our potential to create anything — least of all abundance — in order to effortlessly live the life we are meant to live. That is why I began offering the Sacred Success Contract to people who would like to work with me and buy my books, CDs and Transformational programs. Since I began doing so, I have seen countless clients manifest the means to work with me (and more!) seemingly “out of thin air”once they’ve signed the contract.
If you are interested in manifesting more success and abundance in your life, so that you too can live more freely and fully, and easily afford to take part in any of Axiom’s Transformational programs you like, complete the form below, to get a download of your copy of the Sacred Success Contract to sign, and then begin to live the life you were born to live today.
Congratulations on choosing to own the fact that you are Miraculous!
Abundant Blessings,

My daughter is 5yrs old and weighs 72lbs, I dont want her to have a weight problem growing up, is it wrong to put her on a diet and excercise program
Parental Wisdom Advisor Maureen Whitehouse Answer:
You asked, “… is it wrong to put her on a diet and exercise program?” I feel the more effective question to ask yourself here is what feels “right” or “wrong” to you. And I‘d like you to consider that question, with something very important in mind; on the deepest level there really is no right or wrong – only are we moving closer to love (feels right!) or further away from love (feels “wrong” – i.e. -unpeaceful, disconnected, empty, or bad). It’s really the feelings of lack of love that so often compel people to overeat, in an unconscious effort to fill the void of feeling unloved. So if I am interpreting your real question correctly – you are asking, “How can I best help my daughter to feel, happy, accepted, safe, cared-for and loved.” Well you know, that doesn’t have to be a “some day in the future experience for her (or you!) and you certainly don’t need to diet your way there! You can offer feelings of deep fulfillment to her right now, or with her next meal in fact. Share with her the most effective “diet” there is – the only one that can bring the truest, most easily shared and enjoyable experience… Eat with love, what’s grown with love, prepared with love and served with love. Simple ’eh? That’s the entire “diet” to share with her. And all you have to do is ask yourself, “Is this food a symbol of my love?” If so, offer it joyously. Do you realize that your daughter sees you as the most amazing, powerful, beautiful being on the planet? Therefore whatever you see in her, she subconsciously desires to become. To our children all parents are the authority – they feel we know best. What a powerful opportunity that presents for you. See only her perfection, her beauty, and most importantly her strength and unique individuality and then just step back and watch! Believe me you won’t be able to fear for her well-being any longer. The only reason any of us parents are ever overly concerned for the well-being of our children is if we mistrust ourselves! While all the while, we hold within us such wisdom – because that is the gift that comes along with parenthood – the wisdom of love. It sounds to me like you just forgot how to access your own truest mother-lovin’ wisdom for a brief moment in time. (Fear does that to us by the way
There is a way for you to discern whether or not your consideration of putting your daughter on a diet is fear-based or love-based, here’s how: Just sit still for a moment, and completely divorce yourself from the good or bad opinions of other people. Now, consider the same question you asked imagining that the two of you in a vacuum of sorts-there’s no one else on the planet to judge either one of you – there’s only, you, your daughter and love. Now you tell me, do you need to do anything… let alone put your daughter on a diet!? It’s the fear (most often of both the good or bad opinions of other people) that begets the emptiness that leads to guilt and excess weight. Show her she’s unconditionally loved, just as she already loves you! What beautiful mirrors you’ll be to one another then. You just relax and love yourself for being such a caring, amazing mother who now realizes it’s only the love that fulfills us all – it’s our deepest craving and at the very same time, who we really are! And then just enjoy her- and every meal you have the grace to share together – she’s perfect and so are you!!

My two-year-old daughter will sit with us at the table and eat — usually. My question is — should I have her eat if she doesn’t want to? Should I force her to try new foods? Should I make her sit there until her plate is clean or until she’s eaten two bites of peas? If she asks to leave the table before her father and I are finished eating, do I let her?
Parental Wisdom Advisor Maureen Whitehouse Answer:
Hello!
I’m Maureen Whitehouse, author of the book, Soul-Full Eating: A (Delicious!) Path to Higher Consciousness. The theme of my book is this: Eat with love, what’s grown with love, prepared with love and served with love. I feel that across the board, this simple statement is the answer to all kinds of struggles that adults have with food. But it’s important that we as adults ask ourselves, when do most food struggles begin? The answer is, most often in childhood. And one reason is that many of us grew up in households where it was expected that we “clean our plate” before we could be excused from the table. Let’s get more specific to your questions now… to an inquisitive, on-the-go two-year-old this can be a torturous experience. Often, before the adults at the dining table have finished two mouthfuls of their food a two year old will declare, “I’m done.” That’s because they’re genuinely satiated with one or two bites themselves and are now ready to move on to “more interesting things”. So I’d like you to ask yourself, if you’re asking an “expert” now how to feed your own child… maybe at some point you were led to believe that other people’s opinions and feelings are more valid and important than your own. The only question I believe you need to ask here – to yourself! – is what feels most loving to me now. How can I best show my daughter that she is completely loved – even at the dinner table?
By the way, my sister-in-law still speaks about how traumatized she was by having to sit at the dining room table long after every one of her siblings was excused, until she ate those last three cold and wilting peas. As she relates it, as a child she rebelled and tried to assert her autonomy for hours and hours saying, “I don’t like peas!.” Unfortunately she’d eventually break and eat them – her dad was a military Colonel at the time, so he knew how to win a battle! But, at what cost?
We never crave food as much as we crave love. And you can teach your children self-love via eating food. Yes! Offer them good, wholesome, healthy choices – plenty of them – this will spark their creativity and feelings of empowerment as they can make their own choices and feel your love as they do so.
If you find that, as an adult, you are unsure if you are in a battle with food yourself, here’s an excerpted exercise from Soul-Full Eating, that’s often very revelatory for my readers. Try it and let me know what you find out.
And remember, it’s through conscious parenting that we often discover the spontaneous, joyous, oh-so-loveable “lost child” in ourselves.
SOMETHING TO CHEW ON
Spend five minutes meditating on or writing about the following questions. When you were young, were you given praise for finishing every last bite on your plate? Were you ever coerced into eating even after you felt full by being told about the starving children in other parts of the world or about how others suffered and sacrificed to provide you with your meal? If so, then it’s likely that guilt has been coloring your world when it comes to eating—guilt for not eating enough, or guilt for eating too much. We are all born with an internal comfort-seeking mechanism—the Soul—The “Voice” of sanity. However, for many of us, it’s been layered over, smothered and silenced by the guilt inherent in our fear-based conditioning.
SOUL-FULL EXERCISE #1
Just for one day, do only what you genuinely love to do. Can you do that? Lucky you, if you don’t have to put a hold on everything and completely rearrange your entire life to do this. That means you are already being True to your Soul!
But if you do have to do a bit of finagling of time and space in order to allow your authentic-self to emerge, that’s still fine. Why? Because now you can see that you really do deserve to love yourself more. Once you do this once, there may be no turning back!
Eating what you really don’t love, without love, is just one small symptom of a greater picture of denying your brilliance and self-worth.

What is the healthiest thing for my eight year old boy to eat and drink before playing sports?
Parental Wisdom Advisor Maureen Whitehouse Answer:
You can be on the cutting edge of “new discoveries” in sport drinks, since the word hasn’t really hit the mainstream yet… but more and more American people are discovering a truly wonderful source for the five essential electrolytes that help athletes perform at peak levels – not in manufactured sports drinks but in coconut water! The benefits of drinking coconut water are something that tropical residents have been aware of for a very long time. That’s because tropical dwellers work, play and live very active lives in often extremely hot tropical climates, which causes them to perspire. And just athletes they must re-hydrate their bodies often to maintain optimum health.
Coconut water is a refreshing and wonderful tasting electrolyte replacing beverage that in my opinion far surpasses every artificial sports drink. Coconut water contains no artificial sweeteners or added sugars, it’s not colored or artificially flavored and it’s fat-free and cholesterol-free. But of most important concern to athletes is that it is an excellent source of the five essential electrolytes: potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and sodium – all delivered in nature’s perfect balance. You can purchase whole Thai Baby Coconuts in some oriental markets and in natural foods stores, such as Whole Foods. (These are not the little round brown coconuts – those are more mature and typically contain more coconut meat than water. Thai baby coconuts are found in the refrigerated sections of stores and they typically have the white husk still around the coconut shell.) These whole coconuts require some skill and tools to open, so although fresh, live coconuts are the best tasting, you can now purchase cartons (individual serving sized; or larger, 34 FL. Oz. sized cartons) that are convenient, easy to chill and drink from at any location – like sports fields! If you don’t have an oriental food store or natural food store nearby. Ask the grocers in your local supermarket order some for you. Who knows, you may start a new trend for the folks in your neighborhood – and promote a winning (well-hydrated) team!
Two brands of coconut water that I particularly like are: Vita Coco and O.N.E. - here’s a link where you can find them on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=Vita%20Coco&tag=swoggle5776-20&search-alias=grocery&sort=salesrank

My nieces are 16, 14 and 5 years of age and their mother, my sister, has recently started dating this guy and she rarely pays attention to the girls. The girls feel neglected and the older one got into an argument with her mom and it was so bad that my niece told me and her grandmother that lives with them that she wants to move out and that she doesn’t want to be around her mom anymore. Right now it’s as if my sister’s first priority is her new boyfriend. My niece cries to my other sister and myself and I don’t know what to tell her sometimes. I want to be there for her but I also don’t think that telling her more negative things about her mom is going to help like my other sister tells her. I want to show my nieces that my husband and I are there for them but how do I do that without showing them more negativity about their mom. Also my sister is realy unfair with my mom and treats her like her maid and is very unappreciative. Should I mention something to her or leave it alone?
Maureen Whitehouse:
Here’s my personal philosophy; If you can’t say something supportive and helpful to someone, it’s best to say nothing at all. Instead, realize that just by being the example of what it is you’d like for them to become will impact the situation for the better. In this case, if you get clear with what you’d like for everyone to experience in this situation, all you really want for everyone is for them to feel peaceful, loved and respected. That’s a very good intention, but getting into other people’s business is often the least effective way to accomplish desired results. Instead, since what you focus on, you’ll get more of… if you see your sister as “the insensitive culprit” don’t be surprised if she exhibits behaviors that personify exactly that. Whereas, if you start by seeing everyone as doing the best they can at this time and then respect them for that, you’ll approach the situation from an entirely different perspective – one that is typically more loving, less judgmental and one that can also have an impact for the better much more quickly. Obviously what your sister really wants is love and if the only place she feels like she can get that at the moment is from her boyfriend, well then of course she’ll want to spend most of her time with him. Here’s something powerful that you can share with your nieces. Maybe they don’t approve of their mother’s choices and decisions and yet feel that they are affected by them directly or indirectly. When that’s the case, instead of feeling victim to the situation they can become victors over it by choosing to give what it is they most want to get… in this case it’s the love and caring attention of their mother. But truly that brand of love – love that comes from someone else is never, ever reliable – and as you’ve so wonderfully illustrated with your question – not even from a mother! In this world filled with people living in separate bodies, driven by different likes, dislikes and intentions, we cannot expect for anyone else to truly make us “happy ever after” Situations and circumstances are always changing as are people evolving, growing and learning via the lives they live. We can’t expect anyone to put their lives on hold for us – which is what so many mothers feel that they do for their children only to feel then that their children owe them something for that in return. They don’t! If you choose to sacrifice anything for another person, be prepared to realize that that is never loving. We can only receive perfect and undying love from ourselves! And how do we know if we’ve actually succeeded in tapping that kind of love? We don’t need others to do anything for us in order for us to love them… we just love them because that’s what feels best to us! No matter how they are acting towards us, anyone else or themselves. Only that is true love. Would you rather have your nieces really master a lesson in true love early on and go on to be powerful, amazing self-reliant women in all of their relationship. Or make them victim to the judgments about their mother, which will only serve to disempower them and loose sight of the love that they innately know and feel for her. Show them real, true undying love now, by asking them to join with you in accepting their mom just as she is and allowing for her to make mistakes is she must and by-the-way, if she doesn’t feel judged she’ll walk through situations that aren’t truly led by love, but fear much, much more quickly. For years, I worked with teens in the public school system, who came from “dysfunctional homes”. How I saw that is that the members of these families were all craving love yet no one really understood how to remove the obstacles to love’s presence. Instead they were all in grave denial that they could live without sharing the very thing they all wanted to experience most. From my own personal experience, I knew that only one person in a family is needed to be the one to change everything. How? By deciding to love everyone just the way they are. PS – that does not mean that you’ll be stuck with a situation you don’t like – that’s the power of love – once you accept people/things just as they are – they can change!
