Most people can’t stand Mondays! They don’t wanna get back to work - and I used to be one of them bro! 🤣 But that was back when I worked for someone else and really didn’t get to express myself in the full freedom my spirit so deeply craved! Add the fact that without that freedom, I felt as though I didn't even know who I was… I felt stuck… so Monday’s were a trap designed by hell and I just had to keep walking into it - okay!!!? 😂 Most of y’all would agree with that "hell" bit without completely knowing why… 😂😂😂
I remember this random day at work back then, praying God would help me to just be free... I didn’t really know it yet- but eventually I discovered, I’d been yearning to know my purpose. I loved photography and helping others feel beautiful… but I just noticed, for whatever reason, people needed something more. I'd watch as that confident high they felt just after seeing how beautiful they were in their photos - would somehow have dwindled in their eyes by the time they came back for their next shoot. They'd be craving a fresh wave of that same feeling, yet it seemed their hearts were just as hurt as before. They didn't KNOW they were beautiful. They just felt it for a time... and then life would happen, and somehow, they'd forget. This pained me... not only because I wished they'd see their true beauty, but also because I felt that same disconnection with my own. So one day, I asked God… "Who am I? And how can I truly change this….?"
And just like that- the transformation began.
TODAY…
I know who I am, why I am and where I’m going! And I’d like to begin sharing a new leg of my journey with you now...
The beauty of nature has clearly been my inspired focus lately but I must mention I am STILL and will always be a beauty photographer! It’s my first love. However, I've walked into this space, where I am now capable of not only helping you see your physical beauty… but also the earth’s, which is where God revealed to me His whole truth…
There is a reason we lose ourselves in the oceans, rivers and streams... why our souls dance to the sounds of crashing waves and the wind as it rustles falling leaves. There’s a reason mountains call to us from the depths of our souls... and we hear them so clearly in the silence of those magical moments, when we're able to stand face to face with them... and even when we are surrounded by the chaos of the city, just dreaming to be in their presence again.
It is because Creation is alive! And so are you...
It has an essence… a still, pure and captivating dimension, that your spirit touches when you’re encompassed by its beauty... and you know what? You hear it... and feel it in your bones, because you’re made of that exact same essence... Life force energy... the same magnetic force that pushes and pulls currents, is the same force that engulfs your mind, causing you to hear your own heart beat within the silent meditative state that is... nature. Your true nature. The same beauty that creates awe in the earth, is the same beauty that flows within you... if only you could touch it… connect with it…everyday…
After becoming more intimately in touch with this meditative transcendence that is God's Creation- the heavenly space I run to when I need to feel His gaze - finally... He introduced me to my greatest self... my holistic calling and the peace I'd been missing all along...
There are some amazing long stories coming very soon to help you better understand this transition... but silently and behind the scenes, over the last six years, my husband and I have been studying to launch a holistic healing collective called Mountain House. When it is launched, it is within this space, along with many other gifted healers, that I'll be sharing the meditative healing arts God has shared with me.
So today, I'd like to announce that while I've been an ordained Christian minister in the five-fold church for about three years, as of last week, I am also a certified energy healer and meditation guide. Again- let me reiterate for my confused friends - you'll learn more as time moves forward… but for today, hear this-
Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
Psalm 1:1-3
It is one thing to hear or read God's word. It is an entirely other focus to BELIEVE and have a brave and true faith in what He says to you. I've spoken before ( https://www.entyseandbrijorae.com/post/i-am-the-butterfly ) of how my personal meditation practice has helped me learn to situate an unshakable stillness in my heart, believing God's word over my life... and now, I hope to share the gift of these techniques with others, as He did for me. Freely give... means to give from the heart, without force or pain... and I thank God... I am healed.
In the coming months and weeks, you will see more and more meditative art coming out of our little neck of the woods. I pray God's heart touches yours, as it... He... did mine.
