12/14/2023 0 Comments The Gift of PearlsThis energetic time we're in right now is potent and can be emotionally charged especially, for those of us that may be sensitive to the steps to our own healing process. I feel it. I understand it. I'm moving through it myself, in my own way. We all are.
Although, these inner shifts can be so uncomfortable at times, it is quite normal. And even more so, during eclipse energy and the evolution of individual/collective healing expressions. The moon always brings light to the surface to reflect upon, to think about, and often times, it brings clarity to the things that may have wounded us. It helps us see new spaces we need to step into and move away from states of lack and unfulfillment. Facing what's true, our truth, the truth, of whatever is, sometimes isn't as beautiful as a string of pearls but there are pearls present. Sometimes, healing can act in ways that seemingly, deconstruct the gift. We don’t see it right away. At times we receive the gift, the string of pearls. Other times, we get handed one pearl at a time and we string it together as a whole. When the state of healing feels eruptive, it's the signal that what has been laying dormant is now ready to be released. Remember, even if you're not feeling good or some form of trauma has surfaced, or perhaps, you're hitting some rough patches, just know it's okay. You are okay. Try to embrace the process because it will pass in it's own time and in its own way. When we can notice that we're facing those inner challenges, it's an indication there's a readiness to heal. It's the potent part of us willing to make a change, to release the power that has been held back for so long. We are always walking toward our deepest healing even, if we're taking baby steps. Keep going. Love, Jennifer Gentle Touch Healing Healing through Compassion The Gift of Pearls, Tiny Poet, 11.5.2023 Energy Healing, Emotional Wellness Therapies & Spiritual Readings

12/14/2023 0 Comments Alignment vs. FeelingsListen deeply to when your soul communicates through you. Sense for a state of balance in the deeper levels of the knowing. The knowing is not what or how we feel. It is connected with our intuition which, is a higher level of sight that was perceived prior. So, this understanding then helps us realize that “the knowing” has become a source of knowledge from a previous experience. That’s how we actually know.
Feelings help us label and communicate emotion or energy that moves through us. This is our guidance system that gently or at times, move us fast into right alignment. Some of us stop this flow of energy because it can feel intense but it’s meant to guide us back to where we belong and in accordance with our Soul. Feelings support our right alignment. If we move towards or stay with anything or anyone that isn’t right for us, that doesn’t quite match with who we are or what we value, then we will not feel any fulfilled feelings. This is spiritual law. Spiritual alignment connects us with we need and what we value. How we feel from moment to moment is the guide. In order to feel fulfilled we must be in alignment. In order to feel aligned we have to pay attention to how we feel. Finding this balance and practicing these principles is how you stay aligned with the essence of your Soul and continue to feel fulfilled. - Feeling through a sense of alignment is different from feeling a state of happiness. But when you find right alignment and balance within that, you will always be blessed with happiness.

What that means is, that we can temporarily lose sight of who we are and become a similar version of that “outside influence” which, at times, can also include surrounding environments and/or certain circumstances as well.
Boundaries help us preserve and maintain what is of value to and inside us. Healthy empathy is an awareness of another’s feeling system and attempting to understand how they might feel without taking it on or becoming it. Toxic Empathy on the other hand, goes that step further in that one changes in accordance with the influence. This can be conscious or unconscious. When taking on outside influences in this way, it can alter how we would naturally respond by distorting energy, mood, character, and/or behavior to match or suit the nature of the influence. Once that occurs, we have abandoned ourselves, and often, can feel confused about who we are, what we’re doing, and why. This illustrates how toxic empathy creates an unhealthy attachment, that sometimes, isn’t that easy to just shake off. So, we have to be mindful of outside influences but more importantly, we need to notice when we are reverting backwards or acting outside of our personal character. Once we notice the presence of influence we can stop, stand firm and return to our own personal way of being. This is the act of healthy separation which, establishes an alignment that is more self-governing while fostering a quality of inter-dependence in relational, environment and situational interactions. You are free to be who you are. Another’s behavior, mood, energy, character doesn’t have the power in and of itself to blot you out. You can set healthy boundaries to protect and maintain your own sense of value.

TIS` THE SEASON OF HEART
December can be quite a magical month and fulfilling time of year. We get a chance to embrace the spirit of holidays and witness the wonder through the eyes of children and adults alike. Tis` the season of heart, when the world steps into a place of family, togetherness, and hope. It’s an end of a year that begins an active path into giving and receiving, rooted in a coming together of values and the essence of home. The season fills the atmosphere with magic; crisp air and snow falling from sky, lights aglow on streets and in homes, long gazes into loved one’s eyes by the crackles of fire and sparks of sweet-hearts. We take care, nestling into hearty foods like soups, stews, and hot chocolate. We bundle up with sweaters, scarves, blankets and loved ones and we find ourselves surround by light, the illumination of our hopes and dreams in the stillness of love within our hearts.
The heart symbolizes life, love and the engagement in partnership. The heart never leads alone... It never beats alone... One pulse follows the other in the direction of union. A sense of union requires partnership. We learn to connect and re-connect through the heart-experience, magnified between a pair of arms that allow us to reach out and touch what we love, while, cradled and comforted between two breasts that safely hold what we feel. We are given an opportunity to feel the magic of life, connection and harmony both, individually and collectively. The season of heart reminds us in order to create a spark of life, we cannot go at it alone. We simply relate and create in a blended continuum of wholeness. The heart does not beat alone... It does not lead alone... One pulse follows the other in complete unification. This is a time of un-veiling, re-vealing, and an un-folding of self to the inner sweetness of comfort and warmth. It’s a reminder of the mother-child experience, the inner connection and bond of unconditional love. Our very own place to rest soulfully in the wonder and awe, completely disarmed and embraced in the natural state of being. The heart leads us to a clear passage and cleansing, a shedding of old, a point to nurture life and all that we live for. It is a space given in which to surrender, to lay down a clean slate, to be re-born in concept as we celebrate into the new, calm and cradled in the mother energy, inside the season of heart.

It’s time to get out of the “cookie cutter” version of what healing should look like and shift back into our own personal guidance and experience. Sometimes, the path to healing has us feeling off center and it’s cause for questioning but we forget, feeling off center is also for good purpose. The center balances opposing sides and reveals a place of wholeness. When the scale tips toward into the wound, the other side of balance is overlooked. The gift of wholeness is to be open and available to both sides and to integrate them into conscious balance. Your personal path to healing begins inside wholeness not in one side of experience. Let’s look at pain for example. I’ve thought about pain. Pain is real. Pain is relentless. It reveals itself through the body, not just inside it. It wants to be seen. It beckons to be heard. It tugs at you every minute of every day. Pain is restrictive, trapped in the body with no space for joy and we suffer. Pain is suffering, the physical manifestation of held in, held back, shut down and buried emotion. Your physical body can become the storehouse for ignored, unacknowledged and suppressed emotional energy. Pain is an internal broadcast system for the feelings buried inside, screaming to be heard. To be acknowledged. To be cleared. To be loved.
Every healing journey will not look the same. It’s a personal pursuit-
Have you ever sat with the inner voice of your own pain? I have. Pain is a lot more than just what we name it. It’s a culmination of stuck emotions, blocked feelings, experiences, memories, unconscious belief systems and unhealthy patterns. Because of this, healing can be an evolution of all experience and acknowledging what exists inside you, begins the path that serves as a direction. All of it is important information to construct a very intimate healing experience. Sometimes the tendency is to give up because you don’t like what you see and it can be hard to move through. This is when healing becomes dedication and time becomes discovery. I thought about pain. I’ve had pain. I’ve worked with pain and then it occurred to me. It came into me like a whole being awareness. The other side of pain, is pleasure. Pleasure. What a revelation! In all these years, it never occurred to me that pleasure was a root deficiency to my experience of pain. I was totally invested inside the pain that I missed out on any form of pleasure. I never embraced the joy of life and in being because I never thought to look at the other side of what the experience of pain had to offer.
I thank God for that moment in wholeness. It moved me. Pleasure was now in the game and enjoying my life became priority. When you embrace the other side, you stop brow beating the wound. You cease falling back into rigid, perfectionism disguised as discipline and the “trigger” has a place to go, a space to flourish. My personal healing did not look like the ideal or what I had anticipated. I found rest. I witnessed no more pushing into life or wanting to force forward. I could feel the grip loosen, I allowed some fun and sweeter foods, exercise was no longer a bloodbath but now conscious movement based on my needs for that day. Yes, I gained some weight but I also embraced that weight and loved myself anyway. My healing journey through pain helped me find a better balance within myself, a conscious balance. It helped me find the opening to the possibility of having pleasure move through me and integrate it into my experience. When you make your healing journey personal; it moves you, it changes you, it transforms you into a state of inner-conscious being. Shift away from the “call to action” approach to healing and move deeper into intimate understanding. Let that be the life-giving medicine you take in.
