There is a Conscious part in you. The pure Self. Learn to listen the voice of that Power.
Forget about self-image and self-judgment. It’s about self-love, and no one teaches you that in todays world.
Find it from within – Self-Love embodies pure Love – not an egotistical Love.
This is the only face and body you’re ever going to get, so be comfortable and happy in it. Own it. Own every aspect of who you are and present it to the world with the utmost pride.
Eagles soar high – rise above the mundane, the fear, the doubts and come back to love.

Each moment we have is a choice – we get to choose how we feel, what we think and how we live our lives. So what is the difference?
Feeling Alone?
Survival
choose the path of least resistance
settle in life
become part of the herd mentality
you blame outside circumstances or other people for things going wrong in your life
working a job you hate for a pay check
lie, cheat, steal or manipulate as you are not connected to the Universal energy or trusting of it
afraid to speak your mind or stand out or up for what you believe in (don’t really know what that is either)
you don’t listen to hear you listen to answer
in your head a lot trying to figure it out
don’t trust – very concrete in the 3D reality
change is scary
its usually about me (you)
Thriving Creates Dreams
Thriving
know oneself or on the path of knowing oneself therefore one’s values and beliefs too
In more states of Love, Joy, Bliss & Gratitude for your life and what you are choosing in it knowing you are creating it ALL
you surround yourself with people who are doing, being and living the same way – higher vibe people
you take care of yourself mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually
you don’t come from a place of judgement, competition or needing to manipulate anyone asLove is a stronger vibe in your world and you love yourself and everyone as equals
you know or at least are on the path of knowing how the Universe works
you do things and spend time doing things that you love doing and bring you joy or to help make a difference in the world
maybe even you are becoming aware of the Matrix and getting out of it!! 🙂
If Everything IS Energy – YOU are a Creator NOT a Victim – it’s never to late to start thriving!!

When we aren’t able to receive it’s like having a closed door that we don’t or can’t open – we are literally being closed off.
The other night I was given a personal compliment, which I noticed I could not fully receive – you know the under comfortable feeling in the body, the blowing it off or laughing it off and not being able to say thank you as you don’t believe it or can’t see or feel it.
Now, at the same time I also took notice that 2, 5 or 10 years ago I would not have been able to receive any or most of it – so I’ve come a long way!
I took note of it and sat with it the next day – asking myself some questions – What was in the way of me from totally receiving? What’s right about me that I’m not getting? How could this shift easily and effortlessly?
If I am not able to fully receive in one area of my life, then I can’t in others as well. If I couldn’t receive fully then I wasn’t shining my light fully either – this is where beliefs and programs come in aka ‘I’m not good enough.’
I also realized that I can’t see or perceive what someone else can. I assume that they see what I see, but who knows really what another sees.
By not being able to receive compliments I am diminishing their light as well by not acknowledging their choice for whatever reason.
Being able to receive say a compliment should be no harder than to hear ‘Please pass the plate of veggies”.
Thank you is the best response to btw.
Let the Universe Surprise You!
When we can easily and effortlessly receive even the small things in life and be grateful for them the Universe will keep giving us more and will surprise us – if we get out of our heads of how things should be!
The more we can receive for ourselves as in compliments the more we can show up as we are not hiding behind programs and thoughts like ‘I’m not good enough’.
We gotta stop squashing each other’s lights and start sharing and spreading the light – being open to receive is a great place.
Thank you for reading and sharing this!
How are you on receiving?
What could you do differently today to receive more?
And a BIG Thank you for my friend showing me where I still needed to grow and become more aware!!
If Everything IS Energy – and it is, what about choosing Higher Vibrational Words?
Your words can have great creative power – both good and bad.
We can create our realities with the choice of words we use to speak with.
We can be affected by the words spoken by another person – kindness & love or judgement and criticism.
Love Vibe words or Harsh words can pick away at a person!
We are affected by the words we use to talk to ourselves with – again kindness & love or judgment and criticism.
If everything is energy we use words to speak our thoughts into reality……….as energy becomes matter through observation or in this case speaking.
Part of Higher Vibe Living is becoming more conscious which starts with awareness.
Start to pay attention to words you are using in general, about others and yourself.
Are you:
blaming
criticizing
labelling
judging
avoiding responsibility
mis-communicating
lying
manipulating
focusing on what is wrong
complaining
using harsh words
gossiping
fear based
Words can be Very Powerful!! Chose High Vibe Words
Higher Vibe Word Choices
love
gratitude or thank you
joy
beauty or beautiful
connected
compassionate
joy
peace
fun
creative
universal energy
consciousness
prosperity
abundance
forgiveness
I am sure there are many more for each, but I think you get the idea.
Watch your words as they do create your reality!!
Create an amazing day!

Self Love is the greatest medicine.

My Soul Wanted Growth……..have you ever been in a situation that maybe didn’t make sense to you at the time but looking back on it later the clarity is more vivid?
Yes Yoga especially Yin has been a big part of my healing and growth
In December when I came down to Mexico to house sit, in the first 2 weeks I was here I had to 2 scenarios that altered my life, my direction I was going and honestly brought me to my knees.
I was in Mexico – didn’t know a soul, couldn’t speak the language and had to start going within, quieting the mind chatter, letting myself cry and feel the emotions I needed to (that is an upcoming post that I can’t wait to share how to move emotions through the body!!) – so interesting looking back how events unfolded (no matter how shitty they were) so I could truly step up!!
Ever get stuck in a prickly bush????
Plus I had some very amazing friends that held space for me even if it was over the phone – support network is good too – you guys know who you are and I am so grateful for you all!! xoxo
Things like that happen – whether emotionally or physically – yes even physically when we truly aren’t listening, paying attention or on the wrong path or we have distorted views – which most of us do or we would be enlightened. It’s our Souls way of saying Wake up!!
Oldest Bar in New Orleans – oh if those walls could talk!!!
For many of us, myself included – it’s easy to take the victim role and tell our ‘story’ over and over and ask questions like Why did this happen to me? What’s wrong with me? etc
Who wants to stay locked up in the past??? There is only NOW.
We don’t want to stay locked up in the past or old ways of being!
As we move along the path of becoming more Conscious and therefore taking responsibility for everything that happens in our life – cause after all we ARE the Creators of our lives – but we have been taught, programmed, dumbed down and lied to that we really aren’t in control and things just happen.
Bull shit!! 🙂
Thank goodness that Science is evolving and bridging with it Spirituality and yes crap doesn’t just happen to us – we create it into physical form from our thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Hard do swallow sometimes I know. Trust me I know, yet if everything is energy (and it is) and vibrates at different frequencies it shows us that we can and need to take responsibility IF we want different things, feelings and people inner lives.
When we take responsibility we ask different questions, we look at things, situations and people in our life as a reflection of our thoughts and beliefs – Nassim Haramein has shared his documented studies in the Connected Universe – I highly recommend watching it. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden and Dr. Joe Dispenza also have some amazing studies, facts and new ways of thinking AND being – I have learned lots!
With that being said, I have been diving in and out of Quantum Physics etc for a couple of years but couldn’t fully embody it. When these events happened I knew I had to dive in and ask myself what was being reflected back to me and honestly be open to seeing things about myself I couldn’t or didn’t want to before!
What kind of energy was I vibrating (feeling), what were my thoughts, beliefs, patterns and how did I truly feel about myself.
Big Step Forward
I wanted to take a BIG leap forward! 🙂
I didn’t want to stay stuck and to keep telling the same story I wanted to move the energy!
I’ll be honest, wasn’t always easy – there were moments where I just wanted to go to the mall shopping (escaping some pain, going unconscious :)) and not deal with it but I knew the more I pushed through the layers of BS I would come out lighter and have more of me – the true authentic me. It didn’t happen over night and I had to go through and re-experience some of it to truly embody the lessons and go deeper within.
Oh my!!!! The payoff has been worth it all.
Our true self is the essence of unconditional love, pure joy, bliss and gratitude – all the other things are just big fat fucking lies we tell ourselves from the stories we have created or have happened to us.
Higher Vibe Living and Being
Feeling the love even on a bad hair day with no make up – is also being vulnerable and authentic!
Growth is not always easy but I feel it’s worth every moment as when you are re-claiming more of you, living truly authentic, having much love for self and others, raising your vibration which allows for more consciousness.
Words cannot describe it at all – one has to experience it!
It’s NOT about being perfect – what is perfect? Who is perfect? Let go there is NO getting it right only evolution!
My world has opened up, new people and experiences have been coming in that have been amazing, my awareness has increased and my new path has been lit up – I can’t wait to share more (it’s like I am getting downloads ) as the world needs us to step into our true authentic selves and be the light and way showers for others – the more we do this is we re-claim our power and self love then changes can be made here on planet earth like crazy!!
Know that whatever you are going through it’s only temporary and things can change fast – ask yourself better questions, what lesson can you learn, what do you need to see and how can you be more truthful with yourself – about ALL aspects of self.
We’ve all created stories, patterns and beliefs from our parents, teachers and society – not to make anyone wrong as everyone is doing the best they can but it’s time to tell different, more empowering, loving and intentional stories!
I will be sharing more tools, inspiration, thoughts and my journey AND reviving the Raw, Naked and Beautiful Project – Real, Authentic and Whole!!
When you embrace more of YOU – it’s very freeing!!
It’s time for many of us to step into ourselves and the lives we truly desire to live and create as it all starts within!!
I am so Grateful my Soul Wanted Growth – does yours?
Do you ever stop and think about where you’ve been and where you are now? I don’t necessarily mean physically but more mentally, emotionally possibly even spiritually?
Have you grown, become more aware, more alive, more aligned with your true self?
Shout out to everyone who has transcended a mindset, limitation, beliefs that held you back, emotions that haven’t served you, habits too, behaviours or vibrations that no longer serve you.
It takes courage, persistence and a belief in yourself!
They say if your path is more difficult it is because of your higher calling…….
so
Shout out to your past self for putting in the work to get where you are today
And your future self for being the best version of YOU!!
You are amazing!
Jodi

PS Give yourself a Shout Out!!
Enjoying the Moment

Don’t Get Stuck in the Past – Lower Vibes
Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, world shifters, game changers.
They challenge you, break you open, uplift and expand you.
They don’t let you play small with your life!
These heart beats are your people – these type of people are your tribe.
Your vibe attracts your tribe – what are you vibrating??
Law of Vibration – Just as a pebble can create vibrations that appear as ripples which travel outward in a body of water – your thoughts create vibrations and attracts similar vibrations (we are over 70% water btw) that manifest as circumstances and people in your life.
At any given moment you have a choice – it leads you closer to your spirit or further from it.
What are you choosing?
Embrace the discomfort or be enslaved by it -those are really the only two choices we have we when are activated!!
Believe it or not – but the knowledge you are looking for is already within your own consciousness waiting to be realized!!
Slow down, go into nature, breath, connect and fill the heart with love.
With Gratitude
Jodi
PS Don’t forget to laugh lots!! 🙂

I decided to create a short video to share from my heart about moving in the direction of Higher Vibe Living – why and what it means to me and reaching out to women especially women who have and do struggle with emotional eating – it’s really the same behind any pattern or addiction to degree.
Since it is easier to share in words than writing from my heart I will start doing more vids – never thought I would!! Yet I still will do my photography as I so enjoy that!!
Please feel free to leave a comment or share!
Have a fantastic day!!
