Who I work with

Does this sound familiar?


You've read the books, been to the retreats, and you meditate (or you've tried, and decided it "doesn't work" for you).

And still, the same argument with your partner, your child, or your boss pulls you right out of your peace.

The stress is showing up in your body, and you know it's asking for something deeper than another quick fix.

You feel peaceful on the cushion. Then an ordinary Tuesday happens, and it's gone.

You're not doing it wrong. Knowing the Truth and living it are two different things, and the space between them is my whole work.

How we work together

From reacting to responding


It's never really about the other person or the situation. It's about where we've drifted from who we truly are. When we come home to that, peace stops depending on what's happening around us.

1

Notice

We begin with awareness: becoming a witness to your thoughts, your feelings, and the signals in your body, as they happen.

2

Return home

Underneath the reaction is the Truth of who you are. We come back to it, again and again, until it feels like home.

3

Live it

Then we practice living from there, in the real mess of life, so you respond with clarity instead of reacting from old patterns.

What becomes possible

When you stop getting pulled out of your peace, something wonderful happens. You start to love your life again.


Love your life!

Don't you love those days when you wake up feeling refreshed and eager to start the day? It's like you have a secret: you know something wonderful is about to unfold, even if you're just folding the laundry! The joy we so often search for is within us, and it is always available. Sometimes we just need a reminder to remember the truth of our being.

Live your passion!

When we love our life and live our passion, we are living from wholeness, an integration of all that we are (spirit, mind, and body), and we experience life very differently than when we live from body and mind alone.

Live Enlightened!

I'm Elizabeth Cantey, D.D.


I'm passionate about helping people discover the ways and means to live life with love, joy, and authenticity. There is a simple and direct path to turn within and reconnect with God, Presence, or Spirit. When we do, we become present to the infinite joys of life, whether we're picking up the kids from school, walking the dog, or scheduling our next sales call.

Books

Two books, and the distance between them


The first is about seeing clearly. The second is about what happens when you see clearly and still can't move.

Why You Can't Change Your Habits

Even when you really, really want to. You already know what to do. This is about the part of you that keeps the habit in place, and why it isn't weakness or a lack of willpower. It's protection.

Working with Elizabeth has changed my life. She opened my eyes to the possibilities of rediscovering my dreams and creating them as my new reality! At my age! She is kind, but she isn't afraid to tell it like it is, either. I am grateful to have had her as a big part of my new life.
