WHAT FUELS THE FIRE WITHIN YOU?
Hello Lovelies,
What are you feeling right now in this moment? What's the message coming from your body? Is it tense and tight or loose and open? Do you feel exhilarated or exhausted?
Some things to consider as you move through your day... BE Curious and ask your Self questions about what you're feeling... This is how we become AWARE of the patterns we're practicing and if they're serving Us ❤️
Lately, I feel like I've been practicing the pattern of avoidance and feeling like I want to hide from the world for a bit... I also feel like my body and mind simply needed some rest from the outside world as I prepare to return to the schools to share Sound Healing and Self-Awareness with the kids and staff. I am now able to relate to how teachers and staff feel when the summer comes... During the school year feels like a whirlwind and is very fast paced, which I love, and the summer is a really nice period of Rest and a Reset ❤️
When we arrived at the end of the school year last May it felt like a screeching halt to all my services with not much lined up (first time that has happened) and I was wondering what my higher self had in mind as to who we'd be working with next... Surprisingly, it delivered me a J...O...B with KLM airlines part-time for some consistent income flow and when I said YES to it (even though I wasn't sure why I would be working there) the flood gates of opportunities opened in the realm of healing.
Within days, I received a call from a colleague inviting me to share my practice at luxury recovery center in Killeen. Then, I received a call back from a program coordinator (after two months of correspondence) to let me know they were ready for me to present my services to the team at Gardner Betts Juvenile Detention Center to incorporate my classes into their group with kids and staff. Then, I received a call from Travis County Jail about sharing sound healing meditation at their facility, but without the crystal singing bowls... which I thought would not work at first, but now have figured out that I can create customized recordings and bring them in on a flash drive to play directly through a speaker without the need for internet access. I have also been invited to collaborate for some wellness workshops open to the general public on September 29th and in October... Check out my website calendar for all the details so you can join Us.
THE EVENT ON SEPT 29TH IS A SPECIAL COLLABORATION WITH THE H.E.L.P CENTER AND ITS LOVELY EQUINE (HORSE) FRIENDS. SOUND HEALING AND HORSES... HOW COOL IS THAT❤️?
For those of you outside of Texas or that are living far away from the Austin area in the "big country" of Texas... I am offering a WEEKLY VIRTUAL SOUND HEALING SESSION via Zoom every Wednesday.... Send me a message for details❤️
With all that being said... I look back on all the experiences of the last few months and observe the Divine Timing of each event and how it reminded me to trust the process of the unseen world as it comes to fruition. We are sooooooo much more than this physical body and experience! I LOVE seeing all the synchronicities and how I have been able to listen and tap into the opportunities as they FEEL aligned along the path. At the same time, I have been experiencing some digestive symptoms like malabsorption that have contributed to me feeling exhausted and not feeling like I have the energy to create new... it feels like quite the conundrum when I am wanting to do so... At times, I feel so heavy that I have a hard time getting out of bed in the morning. I have moved past the depression I was feeling as I processed through the grief of losing my dog, Lido last year and this feels like a whole new opportunity to know my Self in a more profound way. An opportunity to listen to my inner voice more and tune-out the surrounding noise of other people's opinions, thoughts, or experiences.
The question is... How do we remember our connection to the limitless SOURCE of energy (because we are NEVER not connected) that we all come from and feel that within our Self again? What do we fuel our fire with in the remembering process when we feel depleted?
First... Keep It Simple Sweetheart (K.I.S.S) don't overload your mind with too many new things all at once. Make a list of things you would like to experience or accomplish and pick one at a time. It could be one per day, week or month. And remember that an "experience" simply means something you would like to feel, do, say or BE that may be different from what you're already practicing. Remember to give your Self GRACE in the process of doing something new. And give your Self BIG KISSES as you do ❤️
Second... When your eyes first open in the morning, as the voices of the mind and ego begin to spew their nonsense... Take that moment to CHOOSE some thoughts for the day. Make time to re-direct the mind. Tell some new stories like: I am so grateful to be here another day. I am excited about the many opportunities that await me. I am fully supported and loved. I am surrounded by people that are kind and hold me accountable in the creation of my dreams.
Third... Allow your Self to remember that even if your environment does not reflect back to you these truths, it doesn't mean it isn't true! BE Curious and Courageous in your asking and TRUST that your Higher Self is conspiring with You! Take it one step at a time and allow your Self to PRACTICE doing and being something NEW and Different... not better or worse ❤️
I Love You,
Jess
