Meet Helena-Alexis Seymour

Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Helena-Alexis Seymour. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Helena-Alexis, so good to have you with us today. We’ve always been impressed with folks who have a very clear sense of purpose and so maybe we can jump right in and talk about how you found your purpose?

I believe our souls purpose is the reason why we came down to Earth and what we are contributing to humanity. Our purpose goes far beyond what we do as a career… although our career/job is a strong way to express our purpose. I discovered what my purpose was by following what excited me the most from a child and into adulthood. I was drawn to creative arts, dance, putting on talent shows in my basement as a child for my parents and grandparents, I loved playing ‘dress up’ and creating ‘scenes’ for my barbies to play out. As I continued to follow my passion and excitement for creating and giving life to different characters that lived in my imagination, I then decided to pursue modeling and acting at the age of nine and realized, this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. This is what makes me feel the most alive, this is what makes me feel the happiest. When we follow that feeling, our purpose begins to reveal itself. I now realize that I love giving voices/shining a light on characters that mirror humanity back to humanity. I love inspiring people to transform into higher versions of themselves. I love being a mirror of courage, confidence and boldness. The more we love ourselves from within, the more likely we are going to make decisions in life that best serve us in the moment. I aim to do this moment by moment and I hope that inspires others to follow their heart and stretch beyond their fears to discover more self-love and confidence. I hope that my reflection to the world inspires others to become more of themselves, to always trust their passion and excitement, to continue to grow, evolve and to trust God. We are always being guided by a higher power. The more we trust our inner light the more we vibrate that light outwards and inspire others on our journey. We are always learning, changing, growing and loving life more and more through the process. Everything I do, share, and radiate outwards has the purpose to inspire the world to live courageously, boldly and with tons of self-love and joy!

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?

I am an actress, model and love expressing myself creatively through different characters. I love that we can change the way we look on the outside with hair, makeup, and clothing to visually become a personality and then remove all the exterior accessories to know we are the same unique soul on the inside. That’s why I love what I do. I love to remind humans that we are all unique and different, yet we are all the same. I’ve been acting and modeling since the age of nine and have been blessed with characters that go through strong inner transformative journeys. To embody them and share that on screen for the viewers is such a gift. People use tv and film entertainment as a way to relax after a busy day and on a subconscious level they are planting seeds of inspiration in their brain with what they watch. I compare it to eating food. Film and tv is still consumption on an energetic level and so with that I always aim to choose characters that are going to reflect positive growth, joy, love and overcoming obstacles. Some of the producers I’ve worked with in the past have hired me multiple times on other projects because our energies work well together. We ‘get’ each other. I’m thankful to Zane Hubbard, Brandon Larkins, Jasmine Hester, Chris McNeany, Steven Littles, Curtis Crawford, George F. Walker, Dani Romain, Gail Harvey and so many others that have trusted my creative work and invited me back to work with them on multiple seasons of television, and films that stretch my artistic expression. Some of the projects I’ve worked on have went on to win Oscars, Emmys, and multiple film festivals. I’m also thankful to fashion designers Nora Pucci of Zarucci, Heba Couture, Lois Chia, and so many more that have invited me to model their fashion designs multiple times either on the runway, in fashion print, and/or even wear them at the Emmy® awards. I’m grateful that a small town girl from Canada trusted herself and her passion to dive deep into the creative arts of acting and modeling. Also grateful to the city of Los Angeles, CA for welcoming me with open arms and multiple opportunities to expand my career and light.
I have been practicing yoga and many other forms of spirituality and sound therapy for years with an aim to reveal more layers within myself so I can be a guide to reveal more layers within others. We are all on this planet to grow and love ourselves from the inside out. The creative ways that I do it may seem out of the box, but being authentic is the point. May we all embrace what makes us unique and rare so that other people who resonate with our frequency can find us, to be moved enough to amplify their own authentic frequency. Grateful to be able to do what I love and remind others to do the same!

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three most important qualities, skills, and areas of knowledge that are the most impactful on my journey that I hope others can focus on are:
1. Trust your intuition & instincts 2. Be courageous 3. Follow your excitement and passion. When you develop these internal skills your external world will reflect more Divine synchronicities, alignment and opportunities. When we trust our intuition and instincts we are trusting our own inner compass and God-light within us. Sometimes we have a ‘knowing’ before the external reflects the reason why and when we trust that internal feeling and continue to listen to our gut, we are living from our authenticity which is the highest frequency in the universe. When we are creating art, we may have a visualization of where we’d like it to go/the final outcome but the journey there is instinctual and living in the moment. We become more present and naturally dive into a flow state where we are channeling our higher selves moment to moment. To be courageous is so important because there are enough people trying to be like ‘everyone else’. Courage has the French word ‘Coeur’ within it, which means ‘Heart’. Being courageous is all about following your heart and what makes you feel the most alive, even if it is going against the grain. The universe will always guide us on our path or redirect us if we took a turn that doesn’t serve us fully. Be courageous enough to always go for what you truly want rather than ‘playing it safe’ – which will most likely feel the most uncomfortable after a while anyway.
Finally, when you follow your excitement and passion you are realizing you are always in a positive state and only see positive results, even from the things you don’t prefer, you see that energy as a moment to grow and know your preferences. Moment to moment we have a choice. We can go for walk, eat some food, read a book, study something etc.. we choose what has the most bit of excitement in the moment and then move on to the next thing that we feel the most excited about in the moment. It’s the small acts of following our excitement in our daily lives that lead up to a day full of passion and joy which create weeks, months and years of passion, joy and excitement. Start small and allow your excitement and passion to expand itself every moment of every day.

Awesome, really appreciate you opening up with us today and before we close maybe you can share a book recommendation with us. Has there been a book that’s been impactful in your growth and development?

The book that has played the most important role in my development that shared hugely impactful nuggets of wisdom was: ‘The Celestine Prophecy’ by James Redfield. There are four books in the series but the first one I read twice and it changed my life! I recommend it to anyone that asks me what to read and buy it as gifts to my friends and family for birthdays and Christmas. It speaks about everything I mentioned in my article thus far and more! The main thing it speaks on is trusting our intuition and noticing the divine synchronicities in life. Synchronicities are the way the universe communicates with us in real time. When we trust our inner compass enough to follow the trail of bread crumbs to the next bread crumb we come to realize it lead us on the most magickal journey of our entire lives. The people, places and opportunities that presented themselves along the way would have only happened if we followed our excitement moment to moment and noticed/trusted the guidance of God via synchronicities. I bought this book in the year 2008 and when I read it for the second time in 2012, it lead me to a synchronistic moment of picking up a free newspaper in my yoga studio one day (which I never do), and noticing a shaman advertising a sacred experience in Peru. The book is based in Peru and so I decided to call the number as the synchronicity was so strong and unexpected. The shaman told me they do not advertise their sacred journeys, but did that one time in the yoga newspaper. The fact that I picked it up that day and called the number was a divine moment in itself. I met up with the shaman for months doing spiritual ceremonies prior to taking the month journey to Peru and Bolivia together. When the time came to go to Peru and Bolivia I was the only one who signed up. My sacred journey to Peru and Bolivia doing spiritual ceremonies with sacred medicine guided by a Shaman at all the sacred sights, became a one-on-one experience. Dec 21st, 2012 which was the last day of the Mayan calendar, my shaman and I did a powerful meditation and ceremony at the top of Machu Picchu mountain and held the frequency of love with the intention to radiate it outwards for humanity to feel. My life since then has changed so powerfully. I am more conscious, aware, and follow synchronicities and my intuition so much more. Energies may be subtle sometimes but they are there, and we must tune into everything, each decision that we make, and come from a place of love always. The powerful direction my life has taken since reading that book (twice) would have only happened if I trusted myself and my intuition enough to buy it. May it change yours for the best as well!
