Fear of God

Fear of God

Throughout my journey I have been inspired to write songs that express how I feel about my life experiences.  The Song “Fear of God” was channeled as I was reflecting on the rules and beliefs I was taught through my upbringing about what I should or shouldn’t do.   I was taught that I needed to obey the rules and ask for permission from authority before taking action.   The Fear of God was instilled into me that if I didn’t follow the rules I would be punished and condemned.   I invite you to read the words and listen to the lyrics.  See if any of the messages resonate with you and if you are ready to let go of the fear that has been instilled in you and learn how to follow your heart instead of your head.  Click on the link below to listen to the song.

Listen to Fear of God Song

As a little girl I was so afraid
To speak my truth and hear my voice
For the fear of God, I must obey the rules
A good girl, I must be

Good girls get permission, they don’t talk back
Apply good judgement, They play it safe
Good girls don’t act naughty They work real hard,
They are kind and sweet, and don’t complain
So I obeyed the rules, did what I was told
So I would be seen, as that good little girl

Bad girls are lazy, they fool around
They break the rules, and get what they deserve
Bad girls are messy, they get in trouble
they whine and talk back
and turn away from God
For the Fear of God, I must obey the rules
A good little girl, I must be,
So I put up a wall, to protect myself
so I wouldn’t get hurt and wouldn’t be seen

Love Is…

LOVE IS:

Sometimes the simplest question can be the most difficult to answer. My dad used to always say love is a verb, it’s an action, it is not just a feeling.  Love is something you freely give to make someone feel special without expecting anything else in return.

How many times do we often put conditions on our love without realizing it?  We want our kids to respect us and do what we say.  We want our partners to meet our needs.  We want our parents to accept our choices.   When someone doesn’t respond in the way we would like, it can be easy to get triggered or feel bad.  We have ALL done it.

The truth of the matter is that STRENGTH in love comes from being unconditional in our giving and not expecting anything from anyone in return.  It is truly being responsible for our own happiness.   Love can be described in so many ways.  I polled a bunch of people to ask them their definition of love and here are some answers

LOVE IS
 – Vulnerable – Allowing someone to see your flaws and imperfections with no judgment
– Effort – Putting in the time, energy and focused effort to show how much you care
 – Respect – Honoring and respecting each other’s beliefs, dreams, fears, faults and failures
– Accepting –  Not trying to change the other person, allow them the freedom to choose for themselves
– Compatible – Enjoying fun things to do together
– Great Conversation – Sharing deep intimate thoughts and moments together
– Growing – Learning from mistakes, taking personal responsibility and growing independently together
– Inspiring – Leading by example and Inspiring me to grow into a better version of myself
  – Patience – Trusting that time will heal
  – Kindness – Giving grace and forgiveness at all time
– Listening – Meeting someone where they are at and paying attention to their needs
– Living – Knowing each other’s language of love and living it

If you asked a child love might look like:
– coloring a picture with me
– making my favorite meal or taking me to my favorite restaurant
– tucking me into bed at night
– Making my lunch for school
– Asking me how my day was or helping me with my homework
– Playing ball with me
– Baking cookies together

It seems easy to outline these items above, however, I also want to share some tough times when it can be hard to show up in unconditional love

– accepting your loved one when they make a poor choice and not judging them for it
– knowing your kid appreciates you even though you don’t expect him to say it
– knowing your partner had a busy day and not seeking attention from him to brighten your day
– not worrying about feeling the need for validation when you send a text to your partner
– trusting your loved one when they make a decision that is different than what you would have chosen
– believing your partner will step up to the plate without you nagging him about how to do it
– letting go of control of how you believe something should be done
– patience in letting your kid make his own mistakes as opposed to saving him or telling him what to do

These are just a handful of situations where it can feel harder to show up in love and kindness.  Yes, we want to be there for our loved ones, BUT when their actions or choices trigger us, this is an opportunity for us to dig deeper and see how we can show up in more and more love.

LOVE changes people. LOVE inspires people. LOVE IS what makes the world a better place.

It’s Time to Talk About Sex, Baby

In the western world, we live in a patriarchal society, where the focus has been on men and the “masculine way” of doing things.  Women have had to work hard to get the same equality, opportunities and rights as men and in doing so we have lost a piece of our natural feminine nature along the way.  To take things a step further, there is a key piece of our feminine nature that was never passed down to us culturally from generation to generation, so in fact we would never know it was missing.

With the desire to be strong, independent and confident, many women have created a false, inauthentic presence. This lack of authenticity weakens their effectiveness, their self-esteem and their ability to create more of what they desire in life.  Women are hiding behind the truth of themselves and who they are. That truth begins with owning their body and their fullest expression as a woman (including their sexuality).   They may be strong and confident in many other aspects of their life, but when it comes to their body and their sexuality, they don’t see it as important.

For thousands of years, women were never taught the beauty, benefits and power that comes with being a woman.  We certainly were never taught to embrace our sexuality and our bodies.  We have always struggled with truly loving, accepting and treasuring our body for the beautiful amazing creature she is.  We have been taught to protect ourselves from men.  To hide.  To not show up as “too sexy”.

So I decided to interview hundreds of men and women, and I got these 3 answers to a very basic question.

What were you taught about sex growing up?

 

  • NOTHING: I didn’t learn much about sex and my body
  • I was told, don’t do it before you are married.
  • Use protection.

 

Now I understand that talking to your kids about sex and their bodies is not the easiest topic, however I want you to seriously reflect upon what you were taught, whether it was from your parents, school, religion or culture throughout your entire life.

How can we have a healthy society and teach future generations about sexuality when adults are not comfortable talking about sex and their bodies.  It’s ok to laugh and joke about farting, burping, peeing and pooping.  It’s a little embarrassing, however, it still gets a good laugh.  However, bring up the words, sex, moaning, orgasm, masturbation, dirty talk, pleasure, cock, pussy etc… and watch the room stop.  Everyone goes quiet and doesn’t know what to say.

I am not suggesting that we should encourage everyone including our young people to have sex all the time, however, what I am suggesting is that we encourage women to admit that we are sexual creatures with sexual desires.  There is no need to be ashamed of our authentic nature. We are not “bad girls” if we think about our desires and our own pleasure.  As a culture, we need to STOP suppressing ALL our desires (including our sexual desires) and STOP shaming the physical beauty of our bodies.

Our body and our perception of her lies behind the TRUTH of WHO WE ARE.

One of the keys to fully stepping into claiming our value and worth as a woman, is to get real with what we were taught about sex and our bodies.  We need to become aware of the conditioning we have around sexuality, rather than ignoring it or being afraid of it.  Since sex has been a TABOO subject it is something that is NOT frequently discussed.  However, it is a part of who we are and is an important piece for us to explore. How are we supposed to embrace our true nature and divinity as a woman, (including our sexuality) if no one taught us what it really meant?

Do you want to learn more?  Are you secretly curious to dip your toe into the water and discover the truth and beauty of sexuality and our bodies? Are you ready to discover how to honor and love yourself and your body for the sacred divine temple you are?

You are not alone! Join us for some fruitful conversations as we dive deeper into this sacred topic.

What they don’t teach you in school.

What They Don’t Teach You in School

This month I want to talk about what it REALLY means to believe.  As a young girl I was raised in a Catholic home and my faith was the foundation and bedrock of my family.  I was taught various beliefs, values, and guiding principles about life.  Since faith was the foundation of my family, I never questioned them.  I followed the rules and took on all those values and beliefs as my own.

Over the years, I slowly started to discover that not all the beliefs I was taught felt good to me, but how could I dare begin to question what was solidly true?  I remember many times my faith was challenged.  I could feel this overwhelming feeling of “Is this from God or the Devil?”  I knew what I was taught and yet what I felt in my heart was so different.  Who should I listen to?  Which feeling is from God and which is from the Devil? How do I reconcile what is showing up for me?

Early in my journey after I attended a retreat 8 years ago, I remember I met two beautiful women at a networking event, one was a Psychic Medium and another was a Tantric Healer. I loved their enthusiasm and energy and felt called to connect with them.  They were such beaming bright lights and it felt good to be around them.  After the meeting, a highly successful Christian woman came up to me and warned me NOT to connect with them.  It was very strange.  She demanded that I not entertain conversing with these women for my own protection, because they were not of God and that she prayed for their souls daily.

I was in shock and confused.   I respected this woman, and yet, I also really connected with the two new women I had just met.  At this time in my life, my faith taught me, that reiki, energy workers, psychics etc… were not from God, but from the Devil.  So, I went to the chapel to pray for guidance.  I was confused.  My heart was pulling me in one direction and what I was taught was pulling me in another.  Which voice do I listen to?  Later that evening a friend of mine (another Christian woman) said Jen, I met this amazing woman who I think you need to meet.  It was one of the 2 women I had met earlier that day.  In that moment, I KNEW I needed to follow my heart.  This was God telling me it was safe and welcome to meet with these women.

In that moment, I shifted an old belief about “energy work” and these women.  Not because I found proof written in the bible, or an article online.   I FELT IT in the core of my being.   It was like the fear I had was wiped away.  I prayed and asked for guidance and was given the answer.  God always says, “ask and you shall receive.”

This is just one example early on in my journey of having to face some tough roadblocks of deciding which path to take.  Learning how to listen to the wisdom of my body and discern what is truth and what is a lie.  Over the past 10 years I have discovered many beliefs that have stopped me from stepping into the fullest version or myself.  I was living a lie, walking around numb and unfulfilled and didn’t know it.  I thought I was doing what I was supposed to do.   I thought I was being a good mom, good wife, good friend and living up to others’ expectations,  but what I have learned now is how to open my heart, body and mind to the truth that is inside of me.

I invite you to join me on a journey to discovering the truth about YOU.  The truth about DESIRE.  The truth about LOVE.  The truth about your BODY.  The truth about SEX.  The truth about POWER.  The truth about WEALTH and VALUE. 

The truth is we didn’t learn these things in school.  Our education was focused on reading, writing and arithmetic.  Our parents did the best job they could with the knowledge they had, but if they didn’t know they couldn’t teach us either. I want to help guide you on a journey to becoming the fullest expression of who you are as a woman.  When you learn how to become aware of your beliefs, let go of what is no longer serving you and claim your desires, you step into your feminine power and shine your light into the world.  Stay tuned for more nuggets of wisdom of what I have learned on this journey to unlocking my feminine power and stepping into fullest expression of me.  I hope you are curious, inspired and motivated to learn how you too can shift the beliefs that are no longer serving you and live a life filled with passion, pleasure and purpose.

What are you Waiting for? Life is Found in Desire

Two months after my dad died, I started taking ballroom dancing lessons and found a new PASSION that brought so much joy and pleasure to my life.  Not only did I enjoy dancing itself, but there were so many things about dance that translated to everyday life. I used to share with people that dance was like life coaching on steroids.  While I only took one lesson a week and came to Friday night dance parties, it was the one thing that brought me joy  and pleasure that I looked forward to every week.   I felt ALIVE when I was on the dance floor.  For the first time in my life, I was starting to become ME.

Do you remember the last time you found PASSION in something you enjoyed so much that it totally fueled your soul? Something where you felt FULLY ALIVE in the essence of who you are?

That is what DESIRE does for us. Desire is NOT selfish, gluttonous or self-serving.

DESIRE is a gift that God planted in our hearts.
DESIRE is causative.
DESIRE calls us forward.
DESIRE is the fuel that allows growth and transformation to occur.

Life is found in the dance between your DEEPEST DESIRE and your GREATEST FEAR!!

When we begin to understand the POWER of DESIRE, we can use it to call us forward in life.  However, most of the time, we feel GUILTY for THINKING about what we DESIRE, let alone CLAIM what we DESIRE.

Last year around this time, I found myself in a place of feeling frustrated and unhappy.  The previous year I had found this new love of dance and wished I could be in the dance studio more often, but I made some decisions for my family that would give my son an amazing opportunity to go to an elite private school for hockey and as a result, I put MY DESIRES aside.

I had some money put away and did a showcase, but I was not continuing to build my regular dance  program.  I came to a point where I was starting to feel resentful.  Yes, I LOVE my kids, AND at the same time I DESIRED more.

I had friends say things like

… Sacrifice this time for your son, you will have other chances in a few years to take more dance lessons.
… This is only a small period of time in your life you can wait.
… Dancing is expensive, are you sure you can’t find a less expensive hobby
… You can find something else that bring your joy and pleasure

I got to a point I was so angry and resentful.  I was taking all my hard-earned money and spending it on him as opposed to spreading the love across all of us, including me.  I did some journaling and wrote down EVERYTHING I was ANGRY ABOUT and then decided to turn it around.

I no longer wanted to be ANGRY or RESENTFUL.  I wanted to feel FREE. I wanted to feel ALIVE.  There is NOTHING wrong with me claiming what I DESIRE.   If I wanted, I could pay for dance AND  for my son’s school.  Why does it have to be one  of the other?

I learned it doesn’t have to be an EITHER/OR model.
I learned claiming my desire calls me AND my kids forward.
I learned how to manage my mindset so that I didn’t have to sacrifice my dreams.
I learned to stop waiting for the perfect time
I learned to stop waiting for the money to arrive.

I said YES to TRUE DESIRE, and God unfolded all the rest.

Managing Radiance Energy Leaks

Radiance energy leaks happen when a person is not in full alignment with the fullest expression of who they are.   There are MANY ways that energy leaks occur and if they are not managed, an individual will continue to give their power away without realizing it.  It’s like running an old pattern over and over again.  Individuals must learn how to identify what is getting in the way of the fulfillment of their desires.

The challenge is, that most people have multiple energy leaks and it can be overwhelming to identify where to begin.  I would like to encourage you to follow this four-step process in learning how to manage radiance energy leaks.

STEP 1 Become Aware of Your Radiance Leaks
STEP 2 Identify the ones that resonate the most with you
STEP 3 Review what it is costing you and what the payoff is
STEP 4 Decide which of the 5 items is the MOST IMPORTANT for you to address

A key step in the process is not just identifying what it is costing you, but to also define the payoff being received for allowing the leak to keep happening.  I remember watching Dr. Phil years ago and every time he would counsel a guest, he would tell them that the reason they were not changing their behavior was because there was a PAYOFF they were getting.   You must acknowledge that piece otherwise, the pattern will never be changed.

The truth of the matter is that all humans have energy leaks.  If they go unmanaged, life can feel overwhelming, stressful and chaotic.  When you have tools available to manage your energy, you can learn how to stop energy leaks and more fully step into your own power.

How Radiance Energy Leaks Sabotage You From Achieving Your Desires  

Radiance Energy LeaksWe have been talking about desire and how most people unfortunately sabotage themselves without realizing it.   We have these amazing soul-filling desires that light us up, but so many times, it can feel as if it is taking so long to see our dreams come to fruition.

The truth is our desires come from the depths of our soul.  When we dance with our desires, we feel alive and shine our light into the world.  Our radiance and light are our greatest gift.  When we are in resonance with love, our love tank is full and we are fueled up with so much love, that our energy is bright, shiny and contagious.  You don’t have to search for clients, happiness or love, because you are a beacon of love and magnetize that love and light back to you.

However, in the hustle of everyday life, we tend to dull our own magic and light.  This is what gets us into trouble.  When we look to others to fuel ourselves up or we continue to deplete our energy, we find ourselves completely drained and burned out.  Most of us LOVE helping others and feel a sense of inner joy and peace when we can to help someone else.  I am not denying that or telling you NOT to do that. However, I want you to become aware of other places you might be leaking energy where you are not able to fully give in the way you desire because you keep leaking energy out and have not refueled it.

A “radiance energy leak” is anything that costs you more energy than it gives you back.  ( i.e. TIME, MONEY, PHYSICAL HEALTH, EMOTIONAL HEALTH, SELF, PLEASURE and BEHAVIORS OF OTHERS) . It is something that depletes you of your energy.  These leaks can rob you of the joy, happiness and pleasure you desire and deserve to have in your life.

If you resonate with any of these Radiance Energy Leaks then you are not experiencing the fullest resonance of LOVE that you possible could.  These energy leaks get in the way of you experiencing the LOVE you desire in your relationships and they also get in the way of you fully stepping into the fullest expression of you and your business.  I encourage you to identify which areas seem to stand out for you.  Don’t worry or freak out that you have more than you thought. This is an awareness tool.  While you might be making time for “self-care practices”, I want you to become aware of additional places where you might be leaking energy and didn’t know it.   Once you become aware of these areas, you can learn different tools and techniques that will help you to reset or boost your energy levels and plug up those leaks.

Inspired Beauty and The Experience of Witnessing

 

A photographer friend of mine used to do photoshoots of women and put on a gallery show every year named, Inspired Beauty. They were not “sexy” or boudoir photoshoots, but rather they focused on bringing out the beauty of a woman. He would see into a woman’s soul and allow her essence to be reflected through the photos taken. He could see the beauty in all women and felt his calling was to help women see the beauty inside of themselves. As we mentioned earlier, men can many times see more beauty in us than we see in ourselves, because we are so focused on comparing ourselves to societal standards. This photoshoot was a completely different experience than my first boudoir photoshoot. This was more than just feeling sexy and confident, this was about getting to know myself at a deeper level. It was almost like asking the question, “Who is Jen?” I want you to have a similar experience and dive into the depths of your truth and answer the question “Who are You?”

Many of the Inspired Beauty photos that were taken were captured of a woman not smiling. The goal wasn’t to put on a happy face. The goal was to allow a woman to see the beauty of herself and be in the moment. It felt more like an intimate experience of seeing into someone’s soul. It was not at all like taking photos for a branding shoot or a headshot. He captured amazing images of women that highlighted a woman’s essence of who she was. His work was POWERFUL. And those experiences were more than photoshoots for those women.

Photoshoots in general, are all amazing because the experience itself is an embodiment practice. It is an experience that puts you in a position of being in your body. The reality is, women have so much anxiety around picture taking like we discussed in a previous lesson. First is the anxiety around making the decision to say yes. Am I at the right body shape to do this? Once you make the decision to say yes, you question, what should I wear? After you plan your outfits, you may get nervous about having your hair, nails and make-up done. After all those decisions are made and tasks completed, you are left with being in the experience.  That’s right. When you are ready for the photoshoot, you get to then be the star of the show.  You not only get the opportunity to put on sexy clothes, but you also get the opportunity to be witnessed by someone. Not only are you nervous about how your pictures are going to look, you may also have anxiety about the fact that someone else can see how you are feeling in the moment. When you begin to let go of your anxiety and step into your expression as a woman and someone sees you doing that, it is extremely powerful. Yes, it can be scary and uncomfortable but after you had the experience, you can see how powerful it can be. To not only be in your power, but also have someone WITNESS you as well. If you allow it to be, it is what I would truly consider an intimate experience and connection with oneself. When you can feel at complete ease with yourself, you are experiencing a union and deep connection with Source energy.

My First Photoshoot Experience

 

There was a point in my life where I didn’t think I was beautiful and sexy. I hid behind so many lies all my life. As I started being open to the possibility of SOMETHING MORE in my life and relationships, I participated in a program that allowed me to dive into my body shame. I realized that my body had physically been numb for years. I didn’t want to hide anymore. Through that program and other embodiment experiences, I had learned how to feel my body again.

 

So I set 3 intentions…

  • To share my experience with the world. To help other women heal their sexuality and body shame so they could have an epic love affair with themselves and show up as the sexy confident woman they desired to be.
  • To help other women take this newfound aliveness and create more intimate connections, and live the life of their dreams.
  • To challenge myself to do a boudoir photoshoot.

 

Now that I could feel my body again, I wanted to know how it felt to feel sexy and attractive again. The day after I got home from my retreat there was a Groupon in my inbox for a boudoir photoshoot. I thought to myself, really God? Could this really be happening? How on earth did this happen so quickly?

Then of course doubt set in and I made up every excuse in the book. I didn’t know if I should do it. I didn’t know if I could find the right photographer. I didn’t know if I really wanted to spend the money. I wanted to lose a good 20 to 40 pounds first. I almost said no because I was unhappy with my physical appearance. I just had this amazing spiritual awakening, but I was still not happy with my physical appearance and so almost said NO!

I spent some serious time in thought questioning what I was afraid of and why I would turn down the opportunity that I asked for. When it came down to it, I had been ashamed of my body and who I was for years. I didn’t want to spend money on photos of myself that I wouldn’t like, where I thought I was fat and didn’t look good. While I just had this awakening that I could feel my body again, I still needed to go through the process of additional healing to truly love my body again too. Then, I remembered the intention I set about sharing my story with the world and I made the decision to do my first boudoir photoshoot even though I felt curious, overweight and scared.

I had never really gotten my picture taken before, so this was one great way to tackle the challenge. The experience was so much more than a photoshoot. It symbolized being OPEN to saying yes to the possibilities that were in store for my life. I realized that before change could happen, I needed to be accepting and loving of myself for who I was NOW, not who I thought I should be. If I wanted to teach other women this message, then I needed to practice what I preach.

Doing a photoshoot was a great way to dive into the deep end of the self-love transformation process. This was just the beginning of my journey. I was so grateful I did the photoshoot.  While I didn’t release all the shame around my body, I took inspired action to begin appreciating my body as opposed to shaming it all of the time.

What I didn’t realize was how profound a photoshoot experience was on my overall confidence and self-image. I ended up having additional photoshoots over the course of the next seven years and each one was a completely different experience and part of the personal self-love journey. The photoshoot had two amazing components. The first is the experience of being in your body. A photoshoot isn’t just about the result of the photo, it is about the experience of really being present in the moment and learning to enjoy and be in your body, in serious, in playful, and in fun moments. The second part of the experience is something I wasn’t expecting and that was being witnessed by someone else. There is a profound feeling when you are in a space of loving yourself and your body and there is someone else witnessing you in that experience. It is like a breath of fresh air. They reflect to you the radiance you are shining during the photoshoot and it is miraculous to have someone truly see you in the depths of who you are.

Permission to Experience

 

I would like to challenge you, to really come into the fullest expression of yourself. To come to know and love you, which includes the enjoyment of being YOURSELF! If you want to be grateful and see the beauty in everyone and everything, you also need to do the same thing for yourself and learn to love and admire the BEAUTY IN YOU.

You might be thinking, ok Jen, that is great, but how is having a photoshoot or dancing going to help me create a better relationship with my partner, love myself more and help me step into a fuller expression of myself?

I’d like to share with you 3 different benefits…

  • Seeing yourself from a different perspective
    Being in your body allows you to take off the roles of mom, wife, professional, daughter, sister, volunteer person, church leader etc. and to SEE YOURSELF as the beautiful woman you are. It is no longer about doing something for someone else, it is about BEING and ENJOYING who you are. You can learn how to surrender and be in your body fully and completely. When you are in this fullest expression, you begin to attract more of what you desire in your life.
  • Feel into the experience and what it reveals to you about yourself
    The value of a photoshoot is much bigger than the result of the photos. The photos capture a snapshot in time of the essence of who you are, but the photoshoot itself allows you to fully step into YOU and experience the joy, beauty and pleasure of being you. Each time you do a photoshoot, you will see the growth in your journey and how you feel during the shoot. When you dance, you can feel into your energy and that of your partner. The experience allows you to step more fully into the essence of being a woman. When you move to the beat of the music you can feel the energy move through you. In each of these examples, you are not talking about something, you are experiencing and creating a new loving imprint within your body.
  • Witness the growth of who you are in your journey
    Since it’s hard to see ourselves, it is beautiful when you can experience multiple photoshoots and see your progress along the journey. It reminds me of watching kids grow up, you can see their growth. When you have a photo taken, you can see the change in who you are and have become show up in your photos as well. The same is true for dancing. You can see and feel the shift in the way you move, how you carry yourself and how you step into your energy, essence and your power as a woman. You are no longer giving your power away. You can feel and own your divine feminine power.

 

When you give yourself permission to experience BEING in your body, your whole world changes.  So, what does experience “it” even mean? Experiencing “it” is about being in your body and living authentically through all the moments and emotions of life. Experiencing “it” means to allow yourself to be free to feel and embrace all that the world and your relationships can offer. It means giving yourself permission to step into the fullest expression of you.
