![]() As inquisitive beings, we all have a striking propensity to explore, to take in life wholeheartedly and gain valuable knowledge. As physical beings, we strive toward the tangible, we want to produce the fruits of our labor in hopes to grow and evolve into a greater version of ourselves and ultimately, in our experiences. However, in just being human we forget- We forget the knowledge in that, what we strive and reach toward in having these greater things or deeper involvement in our lives, is that the sum total of our walk, is always in search for our happiness, fulfillment, and success. We seek to find, we frustrate to know, we exacerbate to do and get done, we sometimes freeze for fear forbades us and we feel we’re not getting ahead, maybe even moving backwards... Change strikes you! It makes the earth turn, flower’s bloom, babies born. You make a decision and the world moves, it shakes. The entire universe conspires to meet your demands and desires from deep inside your heart. It is impossible to be stagnant, the heart repeats its beat to reminds us of that, every day. So, we move; we twist and turn, we shape shift, decide, conspire, plan, gather, execute, become and become again, and again and again… Over and over, the process is everlasting, a constant churn and turmoil of evolution. There’s no turning back, it’s a revolution in evolution! We don’t just get ahead, we aren’t moving backwards, we are changing forward- Some people change jobs, leave relationships, start new ones, get cats, buy new clothes, dye their hair, buy a car, take trips to foreign lands or nearby bed and breakfasts. Some folks take voyages across oceans and others just move. Literally, pack their stuff up, throw out the past, clean the slate and move along state lines to find some new-found life that hopefully fulfills them. It doesn't matter how bold the choice the point is we move to make change - we change to make a move. As uncomfortable as it may be, as fearful as we may feel, as questionable the decisions we made, we change forward- And the only thing that matters is the call inside your heart, right now. This instant, there’s energy pulling you forward somewhere; toward someone, some-thing, it speaks from deep inside and moves you, leads you toward a greater self, places you in possibilities greater than where you are now. What are you reaching for, striving to be a part of, looking to experience and truly desire to ultimately bring joy into your life? What are the different and defining factors that mean something to you, that fills you, uplifts you, and re-creates you from where you are now? What do you want to experience right now? DISCOVERY EXERCISE: These are the questions of change- This is where you start and need to be very clear and concise in execution. It's not in the doing of this or that but in the crystal clarity of your heart’s hidden desires to help you change forward. The rest will fall into place by virtue of such desire, naturally. It’s the meaning of magnetism and the blueprint of fulfillment. What is the tug inside pulling you toward? Follow what you love, what feels right, what makes you smile and laugh and brings you joy. What makes you feel alive without the fight, sigh, or sunken feeling. What are those things that make you fall in love with yourself over and over again, that you can't help but share and give that very same love in return to others. If you can do that, just that alone… You will be successful in changing forward and step right into your happiness and fulfillment. Love, Jennifer - Beauty Notes

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.
