3/15/2017 0 Comments Its Okay to Walk Away Spring is desperately trying to break through the season- To bless us with its sunshiny state of being, Bringing a sense of joy and beauty back into our world. When we think of Spring, most of us think about; joy, new beginnings, hope, and moving forward but is it the thought of Spring that keeps us waiting patiently for positive change? Maybe it's in the hope of a change in season that satisfies us or is it that Old Man Winter finally walks away..? I mean, it's nice to think about a brighter future and it's really wonderful to keep hope but it isn't until Winter walks away, actually leaves and evaporates into thin air, that things start to warm up. You see, thought and hope only go so far- It's not until we walk away from the blistering cold that we can feel the warmth. It's not until a choice is made for change- That life begins anew. I believe the actions of life are reflective, in the ways in which we can live our own lives. Season's change to teach us that nothing is permanent- It reminds us, that we have choice and that choice- Is our power. There is something liberating in choosing to walk away- Last year was an eye-opener for me. My season was changing without warning, as they often do and for the first time in my life, I made a choice for change- I decided to walk away.. From the people, places, and things that kept me in the blistering cold and away from the sun. It was like a switch went off in my head and a course of action naturally took place. The season changed- Nothing is permanent and nothing stays the same, Even within the season of its own time. You see, I've thought about having better jobs, more money and better health. I've hoped, for soul-connected, romantic relationships, stronger friendships and even closer family relations. I've put positive energy and lots of effort into all these things but it wasn't until I walked away- from that which didn't feed me well, that I was able to make a space for greater experiences and my life, truly began new. Walking away doesn't mean you are mad, rejected, hold any grudges or resentment. It just means you are making choices that suit you well, that suit your circumstances and supports your future thoughts, hopes and dreams in your favor. Remember, the seasons don't hold onto what they experienced during their season. They just walk away when its time- And if and when they come around again, each and every time they do, the experience is much different because they come back with fresh eyes and are free to be as they are naturally.
DISCOVERY EXERCISE: I invite you to take a look at the people, places, and things that are in your life right now and evaluate whether these experiences are filled with nourishment and good fruit for you. I challenge you to look at the choices for change and greater possibilities of experience for you. Are there people, places and things in your life right now that you may need to consider walking away from to greater support a personal experience that gives you warmth and good favor? Think carefully, write it down and practice utilizing your personal power in choosing to make change. Have fun with it! Love, Jennifer - Beauty Notes, ©2017

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 experience and guidance. Sometimes, the path to healing can feel off balancing and can cause concern. We forget that being off balance is also for good purpose in defining it. The act of balance looks to the center of opposing forces to reveal a place of wholeness. This is the path to healing. The gift in that is in being open and available to both sides to integrate them as a point of conscious balance.
Let’s look at pain for example. Pain is real. It’s relentless. It reveals itself through the body. 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 and we suffer. Pain is suffering, the physical manifestation of being held in, held back, shut down and buried within your own emotions. Your physical becomes the storehouse for emotional energy that has been ignored, unacknowledged and suppressed. Pain is a barometer, 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 and it had a lot to say. Pain is a lot more than just the name we gave. It’s the culmination of stuck emotions, blocked feelings, experiences, memories, unconscious belief systems and because of this, pain can be the source of evolution. Acknowledging what exists inside you, begins the path that serves as a healing direction. All of it is important information. Sometimes, the tendency is to give up because we don’t like what we see and it can be hard to move through. This is when healing becomes dedication and time invested becomes discovery. I’ve thought about pain. I’ve been in pain. I’ve worked through and with pain. It occurred to me, like a whole being awareness that the other side of pain, is pleasure. What a revelation! It never occurred to me that pleasure could be a root deficiency to the experience of pain. I was totally invested inside the pain that I missed out on any form of pleasure. I thank God for that moment in wholeness. Pleasure was now part of understanding personal balance and became a priority. When we embrace the other side, pain can rest. We 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 ideal or what I had anticipated. I found rest. There was no more pushing or forcing life forward. The grip was loosening and I took in some fun, sweeter foods, conscious movement based on my needs rather than any “should’s.” My healing journey through pain helped me find a better balance within myself, a conscious balance. When you make your healing journey personal, it moves you, changes you, transforms you. Shift away from the “call to action” approach to healing and move deeper into intimate understanding. Let that be the life-giving medicine you need.
