The Girl Who Read Me: Jennifer Neville, Celebrity Astrologer, Author & Thought Leader

June 29, 2023

My recent reading with Celebrity Astrologer, Author & Thought Leader Jennifer Neville, was fascinating. We did a super in-depth reading over zoom that was part chart reading and part intuitive reading. Loved every minute and cannot wait to see what pans out over the next year.

The whole sesh felt very spot on!

Now, she has officially launched her first book “Through Rose Colored Glasses,” a memoir about how heartbreak can be a catalyst to manifest and create the life you have always been called to.

In the book, Jen reflects back on her life, career as a former professional golfer, and how it all made sense after she fell in and out of love with the man who ultimately was the vice for her to find herself. In this relatable story, she shares some of the teachings she has learned through her spiritual work as a Celebrity Astrologer and Thought Leader.

As a former professional golfer turned YouTube psychic – Jennifer is no stranger to pursuing passions and developing the right mindset in order to turn dreams into reality. Currently, Jen is helping people find their purpose and potential through mediums such as astrology, tarot, and intuitive coaching.

You may know her from her YouTube channel as “Little Girl Lost Tarot” where she shares intuitive insights and sage advice via her weekly horoscope style readings to her 116k subscribers.

Jen differs from the typical “spiritual” stereotype, by helping people channel the energies needed in order to create the reality they want vs. predicting it. A true thought leader in the space here to mix a bit of the practical with the magical in order to help you reach your maximum potential and start living the life of your dreams.

The in-person shopping experience isn’t dead, thanks to 7th Avenue

June 19, 2023

Let’s be honest, in-person shopping in Los Angeles hasn’t been a great experience in years. From empty stores to not enough people working, when you’re buying a high-ticket item such as furniture—the whole thing can feel incredibly stressful. Fortunately, one brand proves that the in-person shopping experience is far from dead. In fact, it’s better than ever, at least at 7th Avenue.

If you haven’t heard about this brand yet—they make a gorgeous Cloud Couch dupe (for less money) that has every feature an Angelino could ever want—eco-friendly sofas, chairs, and daybeds that are super comfortable, with slipcovers that are machine-washable, non-toxic (OEKO-TEX certified), and stain resistant. So, they are ideal for everyone from families with young, messy children to grown-ups who often have one too many.

7th Avenue offers shopping by appointment only, creating an exclusive bespoke experience where customers can sit down on sofas of various depths and firmness, and have all their questions answered by incredibly knowledgeable staff. It’s a breath of fresh air compared to the chaotic experience most furniture stores offer. You get the salesperson’s full attention as opposed to hunting someone down and begging for it.

You also get to take the fun (but ever so slightly unnerving) “The Diet Coke Test.” Customers are invited to spill a Diet Coke (or another beverage) to demonstrate the stain resistance of the product in real life. What other brand stands behind their product this way? And seriously, if you’re thirsty during your appointment, they are more than happy to give you a Diet Coke, or sparkling water. After all, sitting is hard work.

Their Los Angeles showroom is located at 820 N Fairfax Avenue. They also have locations in Orange County, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Houston, and New York City with more planned nationwide. Not in the mood to leave the house? No, problem! Just book a virtual showroom appointment.

7th Avenue sofas are modular, meaning you can add cushions and even re-configure your current setup. So, it’s a smart investment because you can buy a smaller sofa as your family grows and then get a few more pieces when you move into a larger space.

And don’t worry, you can have this sofa for years to come because, unlike those fast furniture sofas, 7th Avenue makes a truly high-quality product. The sold frame is made from sustainably sourced wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). So it is an eco-friendly option that Angelios will truly appreciate.

But that isn’t the only customization for this sofa. Four different slipcovers are available—Pure White, Natural White, Charcoal Black, and Heather Grey. So, if your style changes or you want a slightly different aesthetic in your living room—all you need are new slipcovers, not a new sofa. And yes, the slipcovers are really easy to take off and put on again. Much easier and faster than other slipcovers or even that duvet in your bedroom.

Lastly, there are also two firmness options available for the sofa. Medium-firm and medium-soft.

Still not convinced the 7th Avenue sofa is perfect? Make an appointment and experience it for yourself.

Reality Check: Technodelics Are Here (In Santa Monica)

May 2, 2023

There’s a new reality in town and we just cannot get enough.

Imagine walking into an adorable, unsuspecting brick building in Santa Monica, only to step into a darkened space, illuminated by trippy light visuals, to discover a mind-blowing state-of-the-art wellness center designed to transform your mental state…on the spot. Welcome to Reality Center, the next generation of mental, emotional, psychological and visceral fitness. A space where this pioneering work is founded on the powerful effects of sensory resonance and its potential for positively impacting our body, mind, and spirit.

Reality Center is the first of its kind, utilizing sensory resonance to create unique digital and auditory experiences that integrate the body, mind, and spirit for healing and transformation. Think about it like this: when our inner senses are activated, they create a state of “expanded” consciousness that leads to brain hemisphere synchronization and resets the nervous system. This state of resonance is believed to have numerous benefits, including increased relaxation, enhanced creativity, improved cognitive function, and heightened spiritual awareness. Reality Center harnesses this power of sensory resonance to create next-level experiences to facilitate this state, promote holistic well-being, achieve brain hemisphere synchronization, and reset the nervous system. And we cannot get enough.

Let’s break down some of the services, all of which are designed around audio, visual, an  d vibrational technologies that synchronize with the body’s natural rhythms to create a resonant field. Expect to leave deeply relaxed, after all the senses have been stimulated, and the state of consciousness fully expanded – hence this idea of ‘digital psychedelics comes into play.

Sharing the two mega services – with various versions of all on their website to explore:

Next, a guided breathing exercise helps to regulate your nervous system and prepare you for the journey. Finally, using the breath and mindset as the guide, the sensory journey begins, launching you into an altered state where time drifts away and your consciousness takes over. During this time, frequencies and music are felt in every cell, allowing your body to recover and reset. We will do a brief decompression and integration to help understand the experience.

Part of the appeal of Reality Center is that it feels like a fun and interactive experience, but, behind the scenes, it is an advanced neuroscience and biofeedback treatment facility. The proprietary frequency technologies activate the same parts of the brain which get stimulated by deep meditation and psychedelic therapies.

At the heart of the Reality Center’s approach is the use of proprietary frequency technologies that are designed to activate specific parts of the brain associated with deep meditation and psychedelic therapies. These frequencies are carefully calibrated to stimulate the brain in a way that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and increased self-awareness. The frequencies are delivered through various modalities, such as sound, light, and vibration, creating an immersive and multisensory experience for the clients.

One of the key aspects of the Reality Center’s approach is its focus on healing from trauma and regulating the nervous system. Trauma can have a profound impact on the nervous system, leading to symptoms such as sleep disturbances, anxiety, hyper-arousal, depression, and more. The Reality Center aims to provide a safe and accessible environment for individuals to process and heal from trauma in a supportive and non-invasive way. This can help people who have experienced trauma to restore balance to their nervous system and reduce symptoms associated with trauma.

The Reality Center’s approach to healing and well-being is accessible and efficient compared to traditional talk therapy. The immersive and multisensory experience of the frequency technologies can provide powerful results in a shorter amount of time, reducing the need for prolonged exposure to triggers associated with trauma.

Clients who have experienced the Reality Center report a range of benefits, including a renewed sense of purpose, feelings of interconnectedness, elevated well-being, improved sleep, reduced anxiety and stress, and increased self-awareness. And we can attest to this.

A bit about Jonathan Chia, who was absolutely awesome. An impassioned, knowledgable brainiac on all things in this evolving space of tech-wellness. He has been a director, photographer philanthropist, entrepreneur, and combat veteran. He spent 15 months in Iraq and some of the most intense fighting times, witnessing the tragic loss 16 of his guys.

And here’s the impetus for his current life trajectory: Upon his return, he almost lost another ONE HUNDRED from his unit from drug overdoses and suicide. Jonathan focused his efforts on making amazing breakthroughs using frequency technology to treat veterans dealing with PTSD.

Here’s Tarun Raj’s story:

Tarun Raj is a multi-talented individual with a passion for art, invention, and spiritual exploration. He is the founder of Reality Mgmt Technologies and Reality Center, both based in Santa Monica, California.

For over ten years, Tarun has been at the forefront of wellness technology and alternative healing, combining science, art, and spirituality in his work. After completing his master’s degree in motion graphics in 2010, Tarun established a boutique marketing agency that focused on personalized mobile content and experiential marketing. The agency later expanded to cover commercial production and product design, working with esteemed collaborators such as Tony Robbins, the Mandela family, and Rüfüs Du Sol.

Despite his busy lifestyle, Tarun’s thirst for knowledge and personal growth led him to practice meditation and energy healing modalities like reiki and qigong. After a decade of study and practice, Tarun discovered his true passion: merging technology and consciousness to bring rapid and profound healing to people around the world.

This is the mission of Reality Mgmt Technologies and Reality Center. Tarun and his team are pioneers in the field of technodelics, using light, sound, and vibration synchronization to achieve the healing benefits of an altered state of consciousness without drugs. Like Einstein and Tesla, Tarun believes that frequency is the future of healing, and his goal is to provide open access to this technology.

Tarun is also the holder of two patents on contextually aware augmented reality, which he believes will help people find harmony in the smart cities of the future.
