The I AM Circle began as a Live Talk Circle is every day at 3:33 p.m. ET on Facebook and Instagram in the month of April, 2020. As the months progressed, we met on Sundays at the same 3:33p ET time. Currently, Maggie will communicate an upcoming date via Facebook I AM Mind and Body. We always start at 3:33pm! This circle is simply a virtual space to open and inspire your mind, and help you grow through Life.  First we discuss current thoughts and feelings. Sometimes we read and discuss a Chapter from I AM. Maggie always offers a Guided Meditation at the End of Each I AM Circle. After the Circle closes, Maggie post the Live Talk and each talk remains available for you to access on her Facebook page. What is I AM THE BOOK?

So, let me ask you, How are you faring through this strange and unknown time? Are you feeling anxious, vulnerable and scared? We all are, I feel you. Are you inspired to use this difficult time to learn to calm anxiety, turn fear to faith, transcend old wounds, develop spiritual and emotional perspective, and positive changes? Right now, we are all learning and growing exponentially as a human race and will come through this stronger, more spiritually developed. Do you want to look back on this time years later and feel you grew through the difficulties? Could this be a sign that you are ready to start living your life purpose? I am honored to be a spiritual guide, offering life experience, a listening heart, and an open mind.  I AM 3:33pET- Join the Circle   “Let’s learn and grow in positive ways through strife, rather than let us act into fear and resentment.” MM  Why do is some therapeutic, spiritual health focus important to incorporate in your every day?   Brain Scientists say that it takes 30 days of daily practice of a new habit, to begin to see some healthy changes. Since we are all out living busy, fast-paced lives, filled with technology and choice, it is incredibly important to focus inward a bit each day on healing, awakening, meditation, breath and spiritual perspective. Why 3:33 p.m.? 3 is made up of 3 separate parts that make a triangle or represent Trinity. This can further symbolize spiritual collaboration, cooperation and wholeness. Each part has an important role to play in the bigger picture. This spiritual concept is what we are being called to do, to become aware of, to act upon. Most significantly, We are being at our best as a human race to live with an awareness of our interconnectedness with all living beings; source vibration and life force. This is an aspect to our human experience at all times, and this spiritual awareness is especially being illuminated during this chaotic and life-altering time. Given the spiritual teachings behind the concept of Trinity and Interconnectedness, when we are resonating with the spiritual properties of the number 3, it is a signal to open positive energies to uplifting experiences. This creates more love in our own bodies, which we then can share with others. It is believed that the Angel Number 333 is a signal being given to you in the language of the Universe. Often seeing this number means you may be feeling open to more spiritual experiences and knowledge. How Can I Grow? Could the circumstances in your Life, whatever they are, actually be a sign that You, We, are ready to start living in closer resonance with Your, Our life purpose? If you choose to explore this time for all the Universe offers you, then this is Your opportunity to let go of fear–– become curious, and allow yourself to transcend through open perspective. How Can I Learn to Calm Anxiety?   Let’s learn to feel anxiety in your body, rather than puh it away. The act of acceptace allows your body, your nervous system to calm down. This creates and opening in your body circulation; thus a reprieve. A moment where you bring yourself back to presence. Calming anxiety, opening your mind, shifting your perspective and developing new ways of relating to your mind, body and spirit is a healthy, solution oriented, growth enhancing existence– and touches everyone around you in a positive way. What do we talk about in Circle?   Lets Talk About Anxiety What Is Anxiety?
Anxiety is a bodily sensation, an emotion and an idea. Anxiety usually feels like unease, worry and nervousness. Ask Yourself: How does anxiety feel in my body? How does my mind often choose to relate to it? How can I calm this dis-ease, beyond a quick fix (unsustainable solution) like numbing myself? Knowing the how’s and why’s may help you. Anxiety: Let’s look within at the internal conflict.
 In my therapy practice, many people have written or spoken to me about not getting quality sleep or not having energy. Many express frustration and restlessness. Many feel dissatisfied. At the root is deep, persistent anxiety. Many people never learned to address and understand themselves emotionally, and they picked up all kinds of anxieties and chaotic, emotional repetitions. If you are like most people, you may worry at times about paying bills, getting to work on time or what outfit you are going to wear today. There is no delineating more substantial anxiety from a lesser one. All anxiety is communication that some conflict is occurring. The anxiety is not from the conflict. It springs from the wish to be 
rid of or fix the conflict. Anxiety is an aspect of yourself that beckons 
for you to listen and understand. It is an invitation to know yourself more deeply. Anxiety can be sneaky, and it arrives in many forms. Let’s get to know anxiety. Free-Floating Anxiety  Free-floating anxiety is a general feeling that something is just not right. You might know what I’m talking about. You wake up or be walking down the street and although nothing bad has happened, your body feels tense—and your mind is jabbering on that something is off in your world. Most often, this anxiety surfaces in thoughts. Your mind is telling you you’re not good enough or you’re too fat/skinny, too greedy, not powerful enough at work, or not loved enough. 
Usually, it resides as an undercurrent of feeling that colors your day.
This free-floating anxiety—actually all forms of anxiety—often 
arises when you have begun negating your internal world, suppressing feelings, or getting stuck in a negative perception of yourself through comparison. Negative Self-Talk
 Emotions are energy in motion. It is damaging to our well-being when we suppress feelings. When we suppress feelings, we experience anxiety. This anxiety often takes the form of negative mind chatter and psychosomatic responses. Negative mind chatter and repetitive thoughts might be unfelt or deep sensitivities of the inner child.
Often, repetitive thoughts are based on illusion—distorted beliefs, a feeling that you are a victim, blaming others, or judging yourself and others. This mind chatter is our maladaptive attempt at survival, trying to protect us from pain. Mind chatter employs this defense by keeping us in the world of illusions, keeping our attention on negative
beliefs from our painful past and protecting us from encountering any pain in the future. Unfortunately, it backfires, and our attention 
to our repetitive negative thoughts attracts more negative experiences to us, which becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The mind chatter will keep us from clarity, hearing our wisdom, and devoting our energies to cultivating awareness and our highest good. Repetitive mind chatter is like a siren going off, beckoning us to pay attention to what is really going on within. How can I calm anxiety and feel positive during an especially difficult time? 

1. Awareness of your feelings
2. Acceptance of your feelings
3. Actions to calm and shift into an open-minded, curious perspective
4. Deep breath is a tool for being able to calm your nervous system, create space for your feelings, and an opportunity to be with and express your feelings rather than react to them
5. Interoception is a somatic mind and body practice that I will teach you to help you cultivate the ability to monitor and be with the physiological condition and experiences of your body
6. Raising pleasure receptors in your body. Pleasure is something we need to survive and creates myriads of positive effects on your mind, body, heart, spirit and relationships. Enjoy the pleasurable activities you loved as a child. Learn to cultivate healthy, organic pleasure from within.
7. Emotional intimacy is a feeling of bonding with others. Joining a daily group like 3:33, calling a friend, talking to a family member or therapist are ways to open yourself to emotional intimacy rather than shutting down and getting depressed.
8. Practice curiosity. One of your greatest assets in life is the ability to be comfortable with not knowing. Giving into fear of the unknown will hurt your mind body heart spirit. Curiosity helps you to let go of anxiety and instead listen inward and follow solution-oriented thinking/process that is based on your individual and global big picture and growth.
9. Heart opening. Let your heart be calm and open to love. In fear, we often go into fight or flight response which creates tension in the heart and hurts your body’s ability to develop antibodies and fight anything your body doesn’t want in it. Keeping your heart calm gives you more energy and more ability to be there for others that need you. I teach these simple concepts and practices.
10. Spiritual joy. What inspires you as a person- and keeps you passionately aligned with your inner joy? We are not dependent on anything to bring us internal joy but ourselves. Find laughter, think creatively, share love, create intimacy, warm your home, learn new hobbies or things you have always wanted to do, share time and passion.
