Take Five is a free weekly email intended to feel like a virtual kiss of vitality. Messages may include articles, guest writers, reflections, links to recent podcasts, compelling quotes and resources to help you awaken and come alive.

How does it work?

Each week you will receive an email containing a link to the podcast from Alive with Ali Berlin, and may include reflections, affirmations, quotes and resources to delight your life. Ali’s intention is to help awaken your heart and inspire your perspective.

Why is it called Take Five?

There are many traditions that encourage taking five minutes each morning to meditate, write, dance, pray or do whatever resonates with you in order to connect with the higher self. This enables the higher self to be in charge of the details for the rest of your day, and Take Five provides that space for you. Also, Ali is praying for more discipline and routine in her own life, so Take Five is part of her personal crusade of consistent commitments. We think five seconds, five minutes, five hours or five years of anything aligned with your highest self is spectacular.

What is the purpose of Take Five?

The purpose of Take Five is to provide a simple pathway to clarity through words, ideas, connection and practice. Enjoy the themes and when applicable, the affirmations, quotes and questions.  You will be astounded by the power of simple reflection. If you choose to Take Five and write, these questions can be considered over time or answered in a journal as a daily writing exercise.

What will Take Five do for me?

We are supposed to be happy.  Take Five invites you to feel nourished by whatever the present moment holds.  Designed to help you consider how you’re living, who you are and who you want to be, what has defined your life, and what you want your future to be, we invite you to dive in and Take Five.
