We were lucky to catch up with Serenity Risvik recently and have shared our conversation below.
Serenity , thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts with us today. We’re excited to dive into your story and your work, but first let’s start with a broader topic that might be stopping many of our readers from pursuing their dreams – haters, nay-sayers, etc. How have you managed to persist despite haters and nay-sayers that inevitably follow folks who are doing something unique, special or off the beaten path?
In life, I encounter haters and negative people, but their opinions do not define who I am, or determine my worth. I choose to persist, despite the negativity by focusing on my own goals and aspirations. I swear on myself with positive influences in stay true to my values. I believe in the power of self belief and resilience, knowing that I have the strength to overcome any challenges that come my way. Instead of letting the haters bring me down, I use your negativity as motivation to prove them wrong, and continue striving for success. The way others treat you is a pure reflection of themselves, so often I feel bad for negative “haters”. With determination in a positive mindset, I am able to rise above the negativity and stay true to myself.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
Well in a nut-shell I’m a sound and energy therapist spreading positivity, love, and hope everywhere I go. I strive to inspire and allow that to spread worldwide. My fiancé and I own/run a non-profit, www.16x16inc.org, giving back to Arizona organizations. Giving back to others is important because it allows me to make a positive impact, build, meaningful relationships, contribute to my community, and appreciate what I have. It brings me joy and a sense of purpose. Even a smile or a compliment to a stranger. Giving back does not have to cost you any money or time!
I facilitate many sound ceremonies, and retreats throughout the year bringing community together to heal. These events and retreats are important to my heart, because it provides a safe place for individuals to connect, share experiences, and support one another. They offer a break from every day, life, promote self-care, and provide valuable tools and experiences for healing.
I work with many organizations, corporate, schools, and more, creating memorable moments. I offer many different platforms and cater to individual needs. Most importantly, my purpose is to assist and support the community in anyway I can. I am programmed to prioritize everyone’s well-being, and provide helpful information and guidance. I am consistently learning and improving to better understand myself, to better understand your needs, and provide the best possible environments. I believe in the importance of self growth and self love, as they are essential for personal development, and overall happiness, mind, body and soul. My goal is to continue to help others on their journeys towards self improvement and to encourage self-care and self-love. Together we can work towards achieving becoming our best selves continuously.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Communication Skills: I love reading, and read many books each year! One topic being, communication! It can make or break anything in life. No matter who you’re communicating with, communication is vital for expression, understanding, others, and building meaningful connections. Eddie quips me with clear, articulation, skills, active, listening, abilities, awareness of nonverbal, cues, and empathy for others. Practicing and studying communication has a profound impact on your personal and professional relationships. Being able to communicate confidently and create harmonious connections is powerful. Don’t let miscommunications run your life. Lead with compassion when speaking.
Sound/Frequency healing: There is so much we don’t know in this life! We are energy, everything around us is energy and has its own frequency. Continuing to learn, holistic approaches to healing, empowers me to make informed choices, understand the science behind it, and share this knowledge with others. It allows me to continue to be my best self and share that version of me with others. Hopefully inspiring them as well!
Power of intention: The power behind intention is serious!! Might be the most powerful of all things! We become what we focus on, we become what we think. This massive power is within you. It is very crucial to pay attention to what your intention is, and what you’re focusing on daily. It will help you set goals, maintain a positive mindset, and build meaningful connections. It will empower you to manifest your desires, and create positive impact in the world. Start by telling yourself one positive thing multiple times throughout the day for a week, and see the shift!
No matter where you are on your journey, be sure to be gentle with yourself. Be sure to ask “why”, always question things with an open mind and heart. We don’t know what we don’t know. Most importantly look at the future of change with excitement!
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
You’ll always hear me say, we’re all in this together! Collaborating is incredibly important to me. I working together with other professionals in the industry, we can combine our knowledge, skills, and resources to create a greater impact on the well-being of our community. Collaborating allows us to pool our expertise and offer a more comprehensive experience. It opens up opportunities for learning and growing, as we can learn from one another is experiences and perspectives. Coming together, allows us to reach a wider audience and make a difference in more peoples lives, which is my goal! It’s through collaboration and connection that we can truly make a meaningful and lasting impact in the community.
