Imagine this…detaching your head from your body. Putting yourself, ‘your head’, in front of you so that you could see your face. Then imagine having a live conversation with yourself. That is exactly what I did today (metaphorically).
Intuitive Knowing is Being Certain in the Uncertain
Someone asked me the other day, “How do I know when something is right for me?” We were talking about Intuitive Knowing. This scenario can be attributed to when we come to a crossroad in life and we are trying to determine the best path to take for ourselves or for others. This is an enormous topic which can be difficult to break down. Let’s try and pick out one aspect of “Intuitive Knowing”. Somewhere along the way in our history as a species we lost our intuition. This mothering, feminine principle of our intuitive ‘hunches’ are our internal navigation system that ‘knows’ without reason or scientific explanation. This is our 6th sense about something which can not be explained and is embodied when something seems absolutely ‘right’ for us or absolutely ‘not right’ for us.
For example, let’s say we were walking down a city street. There is no one around. It’s dark outside and all of a sudden, we find ourselves with the option of walking down a dark deserted ally to get to our destination. This direct route looks and feels uneasy to us. We are not sure if we should walk down this dark and deserted ally or if we should turn around and find a ‘safer’ path to follow. Let’s say part of the reason we may feel uneasy about walking down this ally is because of the stories we have been told from when we were younger. Maybe, our parents warned us not to do this or news reports have shown how dark ally’s can be a place where criminals hang out. Or maybe the person who is at the point of deciding to walk down the ally is a martial artist. Maybe this person has a black belt in karate, and they feel completely comfortable walking down a dark ally knowing all the possibilities that could happen. They have a different perspective and have worked at gaining the intuitive ‘sense’ through their martial arts to ‘know’ they can protect themselves.
Now, let’s return to the other person who does not have this training but has a family history of fearful family members and ancestors and maybe has direct experiences themselves that have led them to distrust situations like this. Therefore, they will always avoid these experiences. They will spend a life time of avoiding ‘scary’ circumstances and this ally scenario is just a representation of what they will do to always feel safe out of fear. There may even be other people just like this person that take it a step further and feel they must always be ready for ‘unsafe’ circumstances to arise. They must even arm themselves with protective devices ‘just in case’ they run into a circumstance that is life threatening. In all these circumstances, they are prepping themselves for something that could happen based on past experiences. Whether they consistently avoid dark allies or arm themselves in advance they have one thing in common. Fear is the driving force of their reality. They have already predetermined all the possible unsafe outcomes and live their lives avoiding or ready to defend against stressful situations.
This is not ‘intuitive’ knowing. Such, we need to know what it is not before we can understand what it is.
Intuitive knowing is a delicate muscle that must be exercised regularly. We must exercise being certain in the uncertain. We must become positive and exuberant with possibilities all the time. We must see every experience as the opportunity we were asking to show up. This may seem like a ‘dream’ reality.
Let’s see this differently. We are energetic beings. Every pulse in our body is based on energy. From the moment we birthed into our reality we have been soaking up the energetic thoughts and beliefs of every one and thing around us. If we are not aware of this and if we do not have people in our lives role modeling this ‘knowing’ then we do not develop the ability to internally ‘know’ and discern what is true for us. Through our unawareness that this is possible we unconsciously program ourselves and send energetic signals out into our individual universes about what is possible all day long. These signals can most certainly be positive and uplifting or negative and self-defeating. No matter what they are, they still go out. The universe is responsive and wants to give us everything we are asking… positive and negative… conscious and unconscious. And then the universe responds to what we are asking by hooking us into those very experiences we are subconsciously deciding in our life.
So, if I am standing at that ally and believing that something bad is going to happen conscious or unconscious, if I walk down the ally… 9 times out of 10 something bad will happen. But if I stand at the ally and take a moment to recognize and become aware that maybe there is something else happening here. Maybe I am subconsciously creating my own fear-based experiences that I am not completely aware right now but could possibly be having. Then, in that moment, we begin to change our reality. We change what we are seeing and thus we change what is showing up for us. So, if I have ‘clean’ intuitive knowing that is unattached to any thoughts or beliefs from when I was younger or in my ancestors or lineage I can stand at the entrance to that dark and deserted ally and begin to see a completely different picture. A new version of reality can show up. Then, I can take a moment to take a breath… feel the energy that is happening within my own body, take the time to shift myself and assess what is truly going on and make a decision based on my intuitive knowing. This is a feminine part of us that knows without explanation that despite the darkness and deserted place we see we know and feel that we must go down that ally anyway. We feel that there is a ‘reason’ for us to go down the ally despite what we initially felt. Because now, we are aware of our subconscious, and now we can tune into ourselves and decide to dispel any unhelpful beliefs. It is in that moment that we bring in our full and powerful awareness. And when we do, we can feel and sense and know that ‘yes’… I need to do this… I need to walk down this ally.
And as we do… the ally begins to light up…it begins to feel more comfortable. It begins to show us that there is another way. In fact, it now becomes a beautiful opening to an existence that we had no idea was possible until we took the first step. When we took the time to consciously experience what was happening within us and then decide, we became empowered. As we repeatedly take steps forward, we see even clearer. We breath more deeply and we begin to trust ourselves and not something outside of us. Then, we come upon something even more magical… we get to find new experiences filled with possibilities that could never have unfolded if we unconsciously did it the old way. We might even find that the reason why we felt so drawn to walking down the alley is because a litter of baby kittens needed our assistance to be rescued from the cold. And in that wonderful surprise we embraced our intuitive knowing always leading us to something grander than we could have ever discovered otherwise. The one who embodies the path of the intuitive knows that there is always another way, knows for no reason, and always follows through with the promptings of the heart. This can only be done by finding the awareness from within that asks us to pause, sense, feel, ask ourselves first, and then we know. This is how we know with intuitive knowing. This is our true power that is certain in the uncertain.

Cleaning out the Trunk
I have recently begun walking during the summer months in an attempt to slow down and breathe through all the changes that were happening. Before, I had always been a runner. My oldest son, Ethan, was leaving for college, COVID-19 was on everyone’s mind, protests and vandalism was hitting home in nearby cities, and wildfires were consuming the West coast. Life felt heavy. I found myself dipping back into my toolbox of tools I had learned over the years, through Ethan healing his own body, to help myself. Walking became a necessity for me. The societal shifts that were happening with all the stay at home orders and social distancing were pulling at me to take a deep look at my life and re-adjust my direction. I realized that the things that were put on hold, my job, my kids sports, Ethan’s senior year, our security, our financial stability, our perceived roles in our world, and all the things we had become actually felt good to put down for a little while. The breathing room felt enormously good. Still, through all the changes, one fundamental question remained for me, “What really matters in our life?” This wasn’t the first time that this question has come up for me. I’ve had so many of these moments throughout my life, beginning as a child and losing my mom at the age of 16. Conversations that typical people my age were having such as clothing, boys, and what they were doing on Friday night were irrelevant in my life. Distractions of the everyday didn’t exist for me. Hospital rooms, IVs, and my mother’s body that was wasting away in front of me was my Friday night. Among so many other issues that were happening in my life, I was always the one who did things differently. I didn’t have a childhood… I went from elementary school to adulthood school the moment I entered 7th grade. That is when everything changed for me and when a life that I thought I had just fell apart. I had to learn to see the truth in the reality I was having. At a very young age, learning to see, what really mattered, was something I had to do and there was never a normal.

So, now that there is a mass of consciousness having to wake up to a ‘new normal’ we have all had to face I understand it feels like such a difficult process for many of us to go through. Collectively, we hold on so tight to our thoughts and ideas about life. About our rights to what we have, what we deserve, and what we deem as just. We feel enormous pressures to get back to the way things were and we just want things to be the same. But I have to wonder… do we really want our lives back? Why do we feel the pressures to make changes and make people see our way? Are we really standing up for or against something in a way that is going to make the peace and lasting changes that we are looking for or could there be something else that we are not seeing, mainly within ourselves. For many of us it is a manner of justice, principle, and standing up for democracy in the way we believe life should be. I honor you and all those who have protected and served and have been the changing forces in our world. Your voices on every level of humanity have been necessary for our ever-expanding consciousness that is constantly growing and evolving. I am merely suggesting that right now, maybe we need to continue to take a breath. Maybe we need to take several breaths. Maybe if we continued to pause and took some time to contemplate what is truly happening within each of us, maybe we might see another perspective. I know that when my mom was lying in a hospital bed dying, I was no longer concerned with math and science and I certainly didn’t care about what score I received on the SATs. That wasn’t a loss for me… it was an opening to something profoundly greater than myself that I would have never found if I had not lived through that experience. I needed that experience to be able to open up to a way of being that is completely unlike normal so that I could think differently, be differently, and make lasting changes in our world.
I am suggesting that maybe the old ways that we have used to conquer and be the voice of change are no longer helpful. Maybe we need to spend a lot more time understanding what is happening within us and how to handle our inner resistance before we decide to go out there and change the world. Maybe what we see out there in our world is a reflection of what we are creating within ourselves. Maybe if we allowed ourselves to open the trunks of our cars and really cleaned out our inner selves we may begin to see all that remaining dirt and debris in there is the reason why we feel so much unrest. Maybe if we attended to what’s happening from within, and actually used the inner tools that many of us already possess, we may understand the true purpose of what is happening around us can’t be found out there. Positive or negatively related to whatever we see out there as our world, could be what we are supposed to look at within.
Many of the great Masters knew this and made strives to become this through their teachings. On the other hand, many authoritarians have done great damage in our society living out what they believed to be true. I am not in support of what these people have done but I do know that those capable of mass destruction out in the world are also massively destroying themselves from within. Will they ever wake up to see what they really are up to? Maybe or maybe not. Will we wake up to see what we are up to? Maybe or maybe not. Who’s to say? I don’t know. What I do know is that I have to come to terms with what I believe is within me to resolve and release within myself before I can help or make mass changes in the world around me. If I continually address what is happening from within, I may be able to make more of an impact on what is happening out there in front of me. This leaves out the desire to judge right vs. wrong or what to believe or not to believe. Maybe the fires of unrest that are happening out there that desperately want us to wake up are just a calling to see from within ourselves. Maybe there is another way.
I know & I feel how we all want big changes to come. We want things to get back to a ‘new’ normal. I question if normal is even what we want, or do we really need to look into the ‘trunks’ of our lives and clean out the debris that remains before the change is possible?
I know we have businesses to run, children to take care of, parents that need us, and lives that keep unfolding in new directions. Maybe, instead of hoping back on the hamster wheel of our life, maybe we need to learn how to move closer to the center of that wheel and really see what we are up to and what we truly want in our lives. Then maybe we can take what we know within our hearts in here and creatively bring that to our world out there with a new way of leading unlike that which has ever been done before; something radically different.
I believe that the Sandwich Connection will help us do this. I promise that this is a course that is completely unlike anything you have seen out there. It is a completely heart full and heart centered course based on completely coming from the heart. I really didn’t know what true love was until I laid eyes upon each one of my children. This is the kind of transformational love and heart full course that I am offering. I have a lot of faith in this course and feel it can help us collectively see that the mountains we thought were in our way were never there in the first place. Through this new perspective we can then make the lasting changes that we seek in every facet of our individual and collective lives.
Beginning in October… Wednesday Evenings at 7:30pm CST for 6 weeks October 7th to November 11th

I was just 17…
I was just 17.
I went for a walk this morning with my dog Larkin like I always do, at least 3-4 times a day now, since we have been confined to our homes for over a month. I was feeling very lethargic and like I just did not want to be outside, but I went anyway.
I had been wondering for several weeks now how can I help in a situation like this? This was on my mind on this morning. I continued, walking down the street checking out all the cracks in the sidewalk like I usually do. I saw the curvature on the one block that I have seen probably 100 times by now from the tree that was dug out a while ago never to return. I saw the same muddy spots, buildings on the side, and rocks in the road. I tend to look down a lot because of Larkin. I am usually talking to her or trying to steer her in the most opportune places for her to go in case she decides to relieve herself. So, I tend to notice the cracks in the sidewalk alot. As I was crossing the street feeling my malaise coursing through my body and noticing how foggy it was outside which only added to my discontent, I came upon a spillage of shiny pennies laying in the middle of the street. I was in awe of the number of pennies and quickly became excited to say the least. Wow, I thought to myself, this must be a gift because all of a sudden, I started to feel a little bit better gazing upon the shiny pennies in the street. You know I felt like it was a sign. Like it was my ancestors talking to me. I felt as though my mom was right there. She has been gone for 30 years now and I feel like it was just yesterday that she left. Now since we are all in this quarantine period, I have no distractions, I have nothing to take my attention from a deep darkness that still resides within me. I am no longer attached to anyone or anything that will distract me from the current moment. Meaning, I have no phone calls or text messages coming from my kids or clients, I have no appointments to get to, I have no requirements or requests for errands to run, and I have nothing pressing that needs to get done which would distract me from what’s truly going on within me.
So, there I was, walking Larkin, stopped in the middle of a street and lingering above the shiny copper pennies that laid in the road feeling this subtle excitement like a piece of me was waking up as I came upon my new treasure. I cannot explain it, but I had the urge to bend down in the middle of the busy road with Larkin attached to me and reach for all the pennies and scoop them up one by one. So, with each of my 3 fingers on my right hand I picked up each individual penny and placed them in my left hand while carefully making sure I held on to Larkin’s leash. Of course, I was worried that somebody would make a turn on to the street and not see me crouched down or Larkin because of the dense fog, so I did this as quickly as I could in order to make sure we frankly didn’t get hit by a car. As I pick them up, I thought to myself, I wonder how many pennies are in my hand and as I counted them, I notice there were 17. 17 pennies in my hand. What is this message? I began to think, wondering if there could be a connection. I crossed the road and continued to walk on with 17 pennies in my left-hand and Larkin in my right. I thought, I wonder what does 17 mean to me? I also wondered what am I going to do with 17 shiny copper pennies? Clearly there was no need for me to keep 17 pennies so as I contemplated what the number meant and continued to walk on, I decided that I would scatter these pennies with kindness on my usual route. As I walked on, I began noticing many things within myself. I felt unsettled, angry, fearful and tired. Even though these 17 pennies made me feel a little bit better I still felt all of this within my body. It was showing up as sensations of just general tiredness. An unexplained desire to just go back to bed. But I kept on, I kept walking, I kept walking Larkin, and I decided to drop every one of my pennies along my route dispersing them in different areas hoping that the next people that would come along would find joy in finding their new lucky penny.
I began to imagine the little kid on the sidewalk picking up a shiny piece of luck, pressing it in his pocket, and putting a smile on his face. I saw the woman walking along just like me and finding a penny and she too would know it carried a reminder for her to remember.
Then I remembered what was happening when I was 17. I had just finished my junior year of high school my mom had just died from cancer, my brother had entered a mental institution for a schizophrenic break that he had while attending Ivy League, and my Dad had avoided all contact with me due to his own struggles with alcohol. I was living with a family who loved me dearly but felt very uneasy and displaced. I was around people but felt all alone. I was a teenager without the skills or the understanding that what I was going through was valid and completely justified. It was an exceedingly difficult time for me. I had a place to live but felt homeless. I had people who loved me but felt abandoned. I had people that encouraged me to go on but felt very discouraged. All the feelings of insecurity, remorse abandonment, unworthiness, and depression came rushing back during this one walk that I had been on by now over 100 times. Right then and right there I was 17 again feeling and sensing the tightness in my throat, the leakage in my eyes, and the stuffiness within my nose. As I kept walking, I kept releasing. I was releasing years of anger and anguish and self-doubt and unworthiness and sadness over a time in my life when the world felt like a very unsafe place to be. I didn’t care if people saw the tears in my eyes or witnessed a passing woman’s anguish in the city streets. I finally felt justified and the pennies helped. With each penny that I dropped, I had positive feelings of new life, new sensations, and new smiles and laughter. It was as if I was releasing sadness that had still remained with an understanding resolve for the positive vibes that eventually return with every penny that I dropped. With every tear that I shed it felt difficult and good at the same time.
I share this with you just to share a piece of me and my history. I share the possibility that maybe there is a piece of all of us that is going through all of this a little differently because we all have different backgrounds, different histories, different perspectives ourselves. WE never know what filters may be on our lens of reality maybe making our true vision a little harder to truly see with the eyes that we originally had before all of this took place. I share the possibility that this time that we are all going through together is more than just a time to carry on and get through until things get back to normal. To me, in my perspective, it feels like a time when everything is permanently changing. Normal will not be the same. It never is when you go through something like this and especially when we collectively go through something like this. It changes us in a way that cannot be explained with words but can only be sensed within our bodies, our hearts. I know that with every unresolved memory that comes up for me during this time I learn to resolve and release them because I have done this all many times before. I’ve lived through a lot of crisis more than I can put in words in this essay. What I do want to offer is encouragement, understanding, peace, love, compassion and kindness for everyone going through hardship for everyone missing out on something for everyone having a tough time. I get it. I may not fully understand what you’re going through, I never will. I do understand that this can be a particularly hard time for many in so many different ways I just want you to know I hear you I understand and I’m here for you with what I can offer… a friendship, a possible understanding, and the possibility that maybe I can help. So here’s what I’d like to offer…
I would like to offer a donation based Intuitive Clearing Session to anyone who would like to energetically work on any issue having to do with emotional pain, sadness, stress, anxiety, fear or trauma. I have training ranging from reiki mastership to craniosacral therapy to ancestral clearing with John Newton to zen shiatsu. I am an Occupational Therapist who has worked through much of my own trauma in many life experiences and with my own lineage and family. I have numerous years of experience. I enjoy working from teens to adults. Just respond to this email and we can schedule our session. All sessions are done over the phone or through a web format most comfortable for you.
I would also like to offer the 28 Days of Conscious Intuitive Living again. I will be beginning this on Monday May 4th. This is a 4-week program of intensive healing work that delivers audio recordings and email writeups to your inbox every morning. This is a huge undertaking for me and one I am willing to share. I will be redoing this once again. In order to honor those that have been a part of this program in the past the price will remain the same but two things will differ:
-1- If you choose to be a part of the program you receive an opportunity to be a part of it as many times as you like for the same amount. Also, if you have done this program before you are free to begin again for no charge.
-2- If it is too much to pay the full amount, contact me. We will work out a way for you to get on the program that is good and right for your resources at this time.
Lastly, I would like to offer a new class for everyone to be a part of… Meridians, Movement, Breath, and Forgiveness. This will be an on-line class…with the interest I will offer classes to help release and resolve ancestor and lineage long held beliefs within the body in order to help with your own healing for today. This will be donation based.
I need to hear from you and your interest in any of the above. I can only go on with any of these programs if the people come.
My heart wants as many people as possible to receive. I honestly believe that everyone has their gifts their abilities in their own way to help our current situation. I would like to be a part of helping.
Please contact me if you have any interest at all. Let us connect… even if it is to chat. Thanks for listening thanks for actually reading this entire passage. It means a lot to me.
Who knows, maybe you are feeling ‘17’ too.
Love,
Jennifer
You’ve Got This, Baby!
I say this with ultimate resolution within my heart. You got this. You’ve got this. You have this, baby! Everything, and I mean everything comes to you. The universe wants you to succeed. It is crying out for you to notice and claim your master of creativity. I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE. It is.
What am I talking about?
I am talking of everything that happens in your life is happening because YOU brought it into your existence. Into your field.
What?
You mean I brought heart ache, misery, divorce, relationship issues, financial difficulties…and the list goes on and on and on.
Ummm…YES. I’m sorry but the answer is yes my friend.
OUCH! I can feel the lash back from all of you out there just wanting to argue with me on this one. Let me explain… have you ever done the same thing over and over again expecting a different result until you one day realized you have to approach the problem differently in order to get a different result? The situation could not be solved with the same mind that created it. BUT…. and here is the larger BUT…if we are aware of what we may be doing in order to create a difficulty then why do we have such trouble changing how we see or solve the problem? Because we have ancestors and lineages and lifetimes and patterns that we learned growing up that our ego mind DECIDES about every situation that may or may NOT be of our best interest. AND so we keep playing the same records and drumming to the same beat of the drum over and over again in our unconscious resulting in the same frustrating outcomes over and over again. Many of us go out of our way to blame it on everything outside of ourselves. ‘He said this’ or ‘she did that’ and ‘if only things were different’ or ‘ if only things had gone a different way then my life would be better’. Oh yes, these are the common things that we say and do. Well…stop playing victim, own your story, figure out where it came from and resolve for the issues at bay and then let’s move on people! Move up, move on, and raise your vibration so that you can oscillate at a new and higher level of existence that no longer includes the same old tune and you get to drum in a symphonic orchestra creating beautiful music every day of your life!
How do we do this? I have many amazing teachers in my life and my two most amazing ones have mastered this in different ways. One teaches about ‘every day is a new day’. Literally, change your thinking and every day that you get up you are completely brand new and different from where you were the day before. Every day you are healed, new, whole, amazing, and light filled. You are. My other master teacher teaches how to resolve for the brokenness of what you feel inside and how to make shifts that will seem miraculous every day and every moment of your life. The key is to be in the ‘unknowing’ and in the stuff that doesn’t feel good. Face it and dive in. Because when you face all your fears you remember “How To Train Your Dragon” (wasn’t that a movie?) and then you live fully in your heart. You learn about all the stories you made up about yourself that were not true and how all these people in your life have just been playing out and representing your beliefs. Now, when you change your beliefs and shift your frequency the story changes, the players change and you now live on a completely different frequency giving off a completely different vibration that resonate ever so closer to your Spirit’s song. You are a soul with amazing wisdom that has encompassed everything you need to know to this point right here and right now and when you tap in and listen to your soul and the wisdom that it has then you can shed your fears and live your SPIRIT! Your spirit wants to love, be loved, and live in joy.
So, next time you come to a tornado in your life, don’t run and don’t hide….actually go for it… go run right towards it and if you want to know and experience how to be in the eye of the storm I encourage you to learn from me like I learned from my teachers and my soul… everything is possible…I MEAN EVERYTHING. You’ve got this, BABY!
YOU ARE INVITED to the next TRANSFORMATION CIRCLE
