Ronda La Rue
Are you at a crossroad in your life? Are you seeking mind/body healing, self-love, a balanced mind, and clarity of spiritual life purpose?
Ronda holds a Master of Science degree in applied social psychology (research methods) and has been working with individuals, groups and corporations for over 20 years.
Philosophic/Religious Orientation and Influential Mentors:
Ronda’s orientation is influenced by her life-long introspection and wide repertoire of investigation and learning. Ronda was brought up in an spiritual home where Christianity was seen from the larger perspective of inner responsibility of following the "Christ-like" path toward realization that extends beyond any religious dogma or denomination.
Fascinated early on with the questions of why we are here, what really matters, and how to know truth, Ronda became a life-long student of western and eastern religion and philosophy, psychology, social systems, and physics. Her work today is non-denominational, devotional, and openly respectful toward the sacred fullness that is already who you really are before and beyond any system of belief or superimposed religious structure.
Over the years, Ronda has studied a wide repertoire of sacred, scientific and mystical understandings. In particular, Ronda has been profoundly influenced by the works of: Richard Moss with whom she studied for 4 years (energetic & integrated transpersonal psychology); Stephen Aizenstat (dream tending and archetypal systems of symbol and imaginal intelligence); J Krishnamurti (beyond the limits of mind); Michael Harner (shamanic attunement and practice); Jack Zimmerman (relational shamanism and energetic transmission); Brugh Joy and Carl Jung (shadow and archetype integration of self); Gurdjieff (freeing repetitive blocks and conditioning); William Rand (Reiki master and Kahuna healing arts training); Deepak Chopra (cosmic potentiality/spiritual laws); John Welwood and Ken Wilber (integrated cosmology of eastern and western understanding); Hafiz (impassioned poet/mytic/seer); Leonard Cohen (one "darned sexy and soulful poet/songwriter!")
Ronda brings to these significant orientations, the added qualities of dynamic attunement to one's unique creative power through the art of seeded inquiry. Ronda's work has become deeply transformational with a focus on full Self-Realization, embodied realization and freedom of Being.
LIFE WORK: Ronda LaRue considers herself very much, "an inner/outer bridge" in that she has walked the delicate line of being well "in"(volved in) and yet not "of" (caught up by) the world. She has managed to maintain a deeply mystical and poetic approach to life while having been a respected and successful (and self proclaimed "type A") business entrepreneur for more than 24 years (InfoVision Systems) as well as a recognized visual artist and poet with several of her works in private collections both nationally and abroad. (Explore this web site for more.)
Ronda says that she can very align with her client and relate to her/his worldly issues and linear mental blocks because she has been there too... In fact, because she has made consciousness her life long inner study coinciding real work in the real world, Ronda is able to "re-enter" this space of worldly and egoic perception with her client, and from there point to the way "out' to a much richer inner landscape of wisdom and soulful artistry.
Ronda feels most blessed by the passion she feels for seeing others find and free their soulful nature to living as true artists of life. According to Ronda, reclaiming the artistry of living Presence is precisely what the ancient sages as well as today's contemporary seers point toward when they talk about: "becoming enlightened", "entering the Kingdom of Heaven", realizing "The Power of Now", "ending the search", Loving What Is"... In short, Remembering Who You Really Are.

Soul Inspiration Retreats in Ireland
Christine Danielle Vierling, is a certified Polarity Therapy (integrated intuitive energy healer), SynergyYoga/Dance teacher, Intuitive Development Expert and Counsel based in Dublin, Ireland serving clients and students world-wide since 1995. She is passionate about her work and loves honoring the heartfelt needs of each person she meets.
Irish author, Marian Keyes, in her novel
Under the Duvet/April 2004 and in Image Magazine, November 1999, writes of her experience with Christine Danielle… “if you’re interested in alternative spirituality, you’ll probably love her Synergy. Even if alternative spirituality isn’t your bag (man), you can really enjoy yourself if you leave your cynicism at the door…The atmosphere was upbeat and, feel-good and, apart from anything else, it’s a good workout …”
Victoria Mary Clarke recently wrote of Danielle in the Sunday Independent/November 2008, “I have been to her classes and they are extremely uplifting and don’t require you to learn any steps, or wear any special clothes.”
In the past several months, Dublin City Fm (103.2) Radio has interviewed Christine several times to share her intuitive gifts that have served hundreds of clients in finding their life purpose and soul’s path.
Intuitive Readings via Tarot & Astrology
Christine Danielle’s intuitive counselling (essentially life coaching via tarot) ability has been validated by on-going client returnees and referrals over her past 14 years in Ireland. Given a grandmother who was a successful professional psychologist and in turn, a mother who applied her academic study of psychology to her thriving practice of astrological counselling , Christine Danielle naturally took up counselling skills. To support her university studies in communications, she trained and worked as a peer counsellor helping fellow students to make the best informed choices for their develoment academically and personally.
In her practice as an intuitive Tarot/astrology reader and teacher, she has worked for Irish television, RTE (Laura Wood’s Programming) giving astrology briefings and for Ireland ’s KISS magazine doing a monthly astrology column. Christine Danielle also serves as guest columnist on the Blue Light Lady blog. Again and again over the past decade in Ireland, her clients have returned to seek the accuracy and helpfulness of her intuitive guidance.
Christine Danielle further trained with the American Polarity Therapist Association in wellness counselling and energy healing, learning to identify the messages that the body signals about underlying emotional and mental inhibitors to optimal health. She received certification as a Polarity Therapist in 1996 and since has been successfully helping clients to release emotional and mental blocks so they may embrace a life of complete fulfillment and well-being. To assist her clients, she draws on many tools, including acupressure, cranial-sacral techniques, creative visualization, meditation, stress relief exercises, Gestalt dream interpretation, Jungian intuitive tarot, and astrology. Different tools work for different people depending on individual beliefs and preferences. Danielle has an intuitive sense of what tool suits which type of person and without being judgemental can quickly assess strengths and weaknesses. She adeptly and compassionately guides her clients to be the best people they can be.

Exercise the Mind, Body, and Soul

Yoga is a system of physical and mental practices, which are incorporated into living life in balance and harmony with yourself and your surrounding environment.The practice of Yoga includes various poses and exercises that involved deep breathing, body movement, meditation and relaxation.
Its purpose is to improve physical, emotional and metal health, thereby enhancing the divine quality of our lives.
By promoting a connection between the mind, body and spirit, the scientifically proven benefits of yoga are numerous, including an increase in flexibility, reduction of stress, reduction of muscle and body inflammation and pain. With proper instruction and regular practice everyone who practices yoga can gain some level of benefit.
Yoga is a lifestyle that embraces a physical system while honouring the metal quest of emotional stability, offering different yoga styles for everyone, including children, teens, business professionals, adults and seniors.
Various Types of Yoga
Yoga was developed in India several thousand years ago as a means of gaining knowledge of oneself and one’s relationship with the surrounding world. There are many different types of yoga, therefore anyone irrespective of age, health, lifestyle and religions can practice yoga in a form that best speaks to them.
- Hatha: The most popular form of yoga which focuses on both physical and emotional well-being. With over 200 postures to choose from, students utilize these postures to enhance circulation, flexibility, balance, and a vibrant mind.
- Bikram: Known as “hot yoga,” the temperature in the room is approximately 41 hot and steamy degrees (105 degrees Fahrenheit). Each session includes the use of 26 postures and two different breathing exercises.
- Ananda: This is a gentle practice that emphasizes the importance of meditation, breathing, and affirmations while flowing through different postures.
- Anusara: Translating to “following your heart,” this style highlights the heart, positive and balanced energy, and the freedom to change and adapt the practices as needed.
- Tantra: Similar to Anusara, this style taps into the body’s natural energy while students are guided through various postures and visualization to achieve pleasure, joy and a sense of completion in their everyday lifestyle.
- Ashtanga: Often known as power yoga, this type provides a heart-pounding, intense, and challenging workout. Physically, the goals are to increase stamina, strength, and flexibility. Mentally, you can appreciate the calming sense that the challenge can provide. This style incorporates deep detoxification due to the sweating that takes place during a session.
- Integal: Emphasizing relaxation through controlled breathing and mediation, this type is more calming and therapeutic.

- Kunadalini: Incorporating a mix of breathing, chanting and poses, this type aims to awaken natural energy and encourages self healing through the stimulation of the immune and nervous systems.
Health Benefits of Practice
Unlike other types of exercise, yoga specializes in the body’s core and physical strength while working the inner, spiritual mind, reaching total body harmony and balance. Both the physical body itself and the internal mind and spirit can benefit tremendously from this ancient practice.

Remember your true self
“As soon as you remember your true self, restoration of your inner strength occurs and you return to a place of harmony.”
“Learn the art of churning. Churning is the art of taking spiritual knowledge and getting the best out of it by reflecting upon
it deeply until it is experienced.
It is like moving milk around with such regularity and consistency that butter is created.
When I churn spiritual knowledge, I make the intellect strong and I free myself from being oppressed by the same
thoughts over and over again. Today let me churn spiritual knowledge and be free from waste.”
“Within the current obstacle is the solution needed to overcome it. These adverse situations that look like they could bury
us, have within them the very real potential to make us unshakeable. When we face our problems with this faith we are
able to respond to them without giving into panic, bitterness or self-pity. Today let me see the solutions hidden inside
problems.”
“Everything depends on your commitment. Whatever I promise will definitely take on a practical form. Without a
commitment, the energy of my consciousness is dispersed. When the energy of consciousness is focused, my
subconscious mind seeks and finds ways to express my conscious intention. Today let me clarify my promise to myself
and watch it take form.”
“A person of wisdom and spirituality has very beautiful manners that have grown from genuine respect and love for the
whole of humanity. Manners in this sense have nothing to do with culture or education: it is simply a question of humility.
When we are at the receiving end of such manners, we feel that some deeper part of us has been honoured. In fact, none
of us deserves anything less. Today let me demonstrate the highest manners based on a humble respect for everyone I
meet.”
“Relationships exist for a high purpose. A perfect partnership is said to be not two people gazing into each other’s eyes,
but rather standing side by side looking in the same direction. This suggests that relationships don’t exist merely for their
own sake, to keep just the people involved happy; but rather for a bigger purpose. Today let me invest in relationships for
a higher purpose.”
“The real lessons of life do not need to be remembered because they cannot be forgotten. Real learning has nothing to do
with remembering things. That’s what makes real learning a joyful, an awakening and an empowering experience. Life is
my school, every scene is a workshop, my teachers are all around me and every interaction carries a potential lesson to
be discerned and learned. Today let me treasure real learning.”
“When we live a ‘material life’ we learn to ‘identify’ with the material world around us. As a consequence we create our
own emotional disturbances (sadness, anger and fear) which are triggered but not caused by changing events and
circumstances, almost all of which are beyond our control. On the other hand when we live a spiritual life we do not invest
our identity in any ‘thing’ out there! We are therefore not adversely affected by material events because we have realized
and accepted that everything in the material world is constantly changing its form at both the macro and micro levels.
Continuous change is the very nature of material reality. But it is not OUR reality. Spirit doesn’t change its essential
‘form’…which, in material terms, is formless!”
“Recognize your capacity to love. Most of us have a great capacity to love yet focus all this energy on only a few people.
When I recognize my unlimited capacity to love I release a great store of energy. This energy of love can be shared in
many ways; I can join together with others or I can hold thoughts of love and good wishes for all of humanity in my mind.
Today let me find a way to express my unlimited capacity to love.”
“Contentment is an art, for it asks for contrast; utter rest in the midst of activity. Rest comes with space and space comes
when there is somewhere to go and be on your own. That space is inside you. Contentment is like an underground river
whose course just cannot be daunted. On the surface, people are stamping, pushing, pulling; the ground is cracking or left
derelict but underneath, the river is flowing constantly refreshing. Today let me be content by taking rest by my inner
river.”
“The face is a mirror of your inner stage. A sparkling face reveals a healthy, happy soul. A dry, sour face reveals the
disease of bitterness and discontent. What does your face depict? As I move throughout my day I can pay attention to
maintain happiness on my face. This trains the soul to bring out the best and slowly it emerges from inside. Today let me
use my face to mirror the best of me.”
“Life is a play. Each person has a part to play in the drama of life. Actors in a play do not try to control each other’s parts.
When I stay focused on playing my part well, I do not become distracted by other parts. Someone may have a part of
giving sorrow; however this does not need to take me away from staying focused on my part to give happiness. Today let
me stay focused on playing my part well.”
“You are more than your personality. When I see myself as my current personality I limit my view of myself. Although I
have a personality formed through many experiences, deeper than the personality exists a quiet, peaceful, loving being
who watches how the personality is used. This is the real “I” inside the personality. Today let me see myself as much
more than my personality.”
“Both realization and power are needed for personal change. To engage in a process of spiritual development is to
welcome the opportunity to recognize limiting patterns within the self and to let them go. However, to recognize a pattern
is one thing, having the power to change it, is another. Where do I get the power to change limiting patterns? The energy
of love generated from a close connection with Spiritual Source and love generated for the self during meditation provide
the power required for change. Today let me generate power for change.”
“Real unity comes when we appreciate the differences of each person in the gathering. Attempts to build unity that is
based on having everyone in a group be alike only creates more disharmony. True unity comes when I am able to see the
unique qualities of each person and when each person is free to express these specialties. Today let me build unity.”
“The thrill of newness creates the feeling of potential, freshness and opportunity. This feeling is very natural and we seek
to recreate it. However by seeking newness in possessions or external circumstances we have become dependent on
quick fixes that do not last. When I choose to create the experience of newness inside of me with new thoughts, feelings
and discoveries about myself, then I become the master and can create the thrill at will. Today let me turn inwards and
create newness inside of me.”
“Time cannot be controlled, but I can manage myself. When I am focused and clear, time expands and I am able to fill it
with many meaningful events. When I am not focused, time drifts away and I feel unable to control anything. Working
smarter, not harder and doing things right, helps me get the best out of time. Today let me be focused and use time well.”
“What you can imagine, you can create. If I can imagine myself being peaceful, being love-full, being full and content
spiritually then I can create it. In fact, if I can imagine it in the future, why can’t I be it in this moment? Today let me
imagine the best for myself and bring it into the present moment.”
“The quality of your actions throughout the day will create your inner atmosphere. The thoughts I carry throughout the day
have a direct impact on my body and state of my mind. When I act according to my conscience I end my day clean and
free of burden. If I have accumulated any negativity throughout the day I can check and put things right before sleeping.
Today let me ensure that my inner atmosphere remains clean.”
“Discover your special part by responding well to what comes in front of you. We think we must plan our future to
determine the role we wish to play in the world. In reality our part is often discovered as we journey through life making
choices. My part reveals itself as I step forward to offer what is needed in life. This offering is my special contribution to
the world, my part. Today let me enjoy discovering my part.”
“Waste thoughts drain power. The fewer thoughts I have the more power each thought contains. The more thoughts I
have the less power each one contains. When my thoughts are powerful, my creation becomes powerful. Today let me
focus on the quality of each thought.”
“The habits of guessing and assuming can be like ferocious lions. So do not allow them to run wild. When I allow my mind
to engage in waste thoughts speculating about the drama of life, I am feeding lions that take over my mind. Life will unfold
as it will and my greatest protection from the lions of worry and speculation is the certainty of my own pure intention to
learn and grow. Today let me learn from life rather than speculate about it.”
“Remember the power of your choices. My past has created my present. When I reflect on how I got to this place in my
life, it is always because of the choices I made in the past. By choosing one path, I eliminated many others and each
choice opened new options for me. This means that today, in my life, I am exactly where I chose to be. Today let me
respect the power of my choices.”
“The quality of the relationship you have with yourself determines the quality of relationships you build with others. The
relationship I have with myself is tied to my self-image and sense of security. For many of us, our self-image and sense of
security is largely formed outside-in, on the basis of information received from others. This type of self esteem is fragile,
vulnerable to the whims of others’ changing moods. When my self-esteem is anchored to an internal conviction of truth it
provides inner strength and confidence and makes me trustworthy and reliable in relationships with others. Today let me
anchor myself to my own truth and build strong relationships.”
“Truth never changes. Each person may have their own path to truth. However, to think that truth is a product of my own
perception is to relegate myself to constant variation. My perceptions are influenced by so many things; by the mood I am
in, the company I keep, the current world news. Truth, on the other hand, by its very nature would be unchanging—
something I could always rely on; search for and ultimately find. Today let me consider the nature of Truth.”
“Truth never changes. Each person may have their own path to truth. However, to think that truth is a product of my own

something I could always rely on; search for and ultimately find. Today let me consider the nature of Truth.”
“Be clear on your intentions. Your character is illuminated by the coherence that exists between what you say and what
you do, consistently, day in day out. To express my true, highest character is to check my intentions regularly - moment to
moment- to ensure that my actions are consistent with my highest intentions. This is called spiritual effort. Today let me
express my highest character in everything I do.”
“Freedom is a state of mind. Freedom is to be uninfluenced and unaffected by internal or external disturbance, to be at
peace with the self. Understanding the self is the key to freedom. The more one understands the self, the easier it is to be
liberated from the chains of waste and negativity. Real freedom is to experience the true essence of one's being. Today
let me taste freedom by being at peace with myself.”
“Truth has a simple and clear definition: that which never changes. Many things come and go in my life but truth is what
stays. Perhaps I have had different friends, jobs, homes, even phases of life but something inside of me has always been
the same. There has always been the inner voice that longs for love, peace and that knows right from wrong. Today let
me celebrate the constancy of my own truth.”
“Attraction causes suffering. When I am attracted to something I become trapped in it like a web. There is an exclusive
focus on the thing I am attracted to excluding everything around it. It is subtle at first but over time I am not able to
become free even if I wish. This is the difference between creating relationships and being in bondage. Today let me
create relationships within which I feel free.”
“When I am a guest I am usually on holiday, away from my regular responsibilities and routines. I often find I have a lot of
energy as I am not drained and burdened by duties and responsibilities. Even mundane activities become more fun as a
guest. When I adopt the attitude of being a guest in my life, I begin to enjoy the extra energy that comes from being “on
holiday”. Today let me experiment with the consciousness of being a welcome guest in my life.”
