Our worst fear
Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate; our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask
ourselves, 'who am I to be so brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who
are we not to be? You are a child of God: Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure
around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in
some of us, it is in everyone and as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our
presence automatically liberates others."
~Marianne Williamson
Illuminations soul therapy focuses on inner and outer balance, and balance is beauty. The mind body connection is being acknowledged by the scientific community more and more each day. Neuropeptides and their receptors, previously thought to only exist in the brain are found through out the body, this is proof that the whole body is "thinking" not just the brain. A thought is created and the body responds to it's corresponding feeling, often times it responds literally. For example you think "I'm carrying responsibility on my shoulders" and you feel angry and unappreciated about the responsibility. Because of your feeling you develop shoulder pain, this is called a body syndrome. The body syndrome is a signal that there is an error in the thought and/or feeling process. That's why we must be aware of our conscious and sub-conscious thoughts as well as their companion feelings at all times. All that's nessesary is a shift in perception, and the curcumstances change. This is evident in all aspects of our lives for: example you can think "I want more money, a better relationship, a bigger house etc; But if you feel unworthy of having those experiences you will not allow them to show up in your life because you don't believe it's possible for you, but there is a secret.
Many spiritual schools of thought teach that the body is illusion and should be ignored and the mind and spirit should be nurtured and cherished. I disagree with this. The body is a wonderful tool through which we can create good feelings because of it's sensual nature. Good feelings or pleasures creates good thoughts good thoughts create good feelings and so on. These good feelings cause the body to distribute endorphines ( feel good hormones) through out the body, which have been proven to support healthy immune function and promote healing in the body. This is why I refer to the mind & body as one entity, not separate.
I believe in balance, Let's imagine the body as a beautifully designed space suit through which we experience this 3D world we live in. We sense through this glorious body, hearing, tasting, seeing, touching, and smelling. Imagine what it would be like not to be able to enjoy the early morning melodic songs of the birds in the trees. The sensual pleasure of the tender kisses and caresses of a gentile lover. The wonderful flavors of luscious fruits like succulent mangos and melons, or the sweet floral fragrance of an exotic Hawaiian lay made of plumarias and orchids. No shades of orange, pink, and blue gleaming at sunset over the ocean. Life would be relatively bland on this 3D earth plane with out a body through which to perceive all of these gifts of the senses.
In the Soul Therapy process we explore ways to bring up good feelings, through a more enlightened perspective of the value of the physical body and this life experience in general.
Proper nutrition is also apart of the Soul Therapy process. Together we take a look at your nutritional habits and make change where needed. I utilize the ancient science of Iridology to anylize the general health of your organs and colon. I will then suggest a though internal cleanse and any "New Body" herbs that will be facilitate the process. I encourage a fresh plant based diet that includes at least 50% raw foods. Elimination of processed junk foods, as well as those "white" foods that clog the elimination system is extremely improtant. Most weight, allergy, and fatigue issues can be traced back to food choices. To help you with transition I share fresh and healthy recipes at the bottom of this page. I have also included a "Healthy Recipes" page, filled with regional and ethnic menus for well rounded and exciting meals that will amaze and satisfy any palate, vegetarians and carnivors alike. If you really want to put these recipes to the test, just serve the beautiful vegan version don't tell any one that it's meatless until the end of the meal and you've received rave review ( always inquire about any food allergies to wheat or soy), and watch the faces drop in pure astonishment. Trust, I've enjoyed all of the recipes I share for many years I hope you will too.
Just as a healthy and fit body immeasurably boosts a droopy self-image, the awareness of your unique beauty and taking action to maximize your best features results in self-appreciation and confidence. Complimentary hair styling that show case your natural hair texure and beauty. The correct application of cosmetics has a significant role in how you'll feel about yourself and the way others relate to you. Please know that the most important key to beauty is healthy self-love. If one does not demonstrate the most important love of all, love of self... all other relationships will not be fulfilling and lasting. We must be selfish enough to put ourselves first...to fill ourselves up to fullness in order to give to others. Remember you can't pump water from an empty well. Treat & heal yourself... with yoga, a massage, a facial, a healing internal cleanse regularly. A healthy and pampered body compliments a clear and nurtured mind...through the balance of the two comes a more centered and peaceful well being... Beauty.
