Journey to Wellness Expressions™

More about Karen Ferraro
 Beginning Your Path to Wellbeing
Traveling afar to a tropical land where the sea is turquoise
and the sultry air is sweet with the scent of frangipani
and jasmine, you are completely present with your feet in
the sugar sand as waves gently lap at the shore. And other
sounds of water may bring you to stillness as it trickles
down from the top of the island’s highest point and
a gentle rain pours down from heaven above. With all of this
wonder and beauty, it sweeps you away from life’s daily
challenges reducing them to a mere fragment of time and insignificance.
Once or twice a year, we may put our lives on hold to bask
in moments like this—taking a few days or even a week
to get away. We call it “getting away” but
what we really saying and what does this really mean? What
are we getting away from? Is daily life so out of balance
that it is now too cumbersome to deal with? Are commitments
too extensive they can no longer be handled realistically? Is
a new diagnosis so devastating to accept there’s a
desire to just run away? Is pure joy so unrecognizable
in day-to-day existence that it is only appreciated and experienced
when the daily routine is put on hold?
So what if the ultimate journey took you to a place that
allowed you to smell the sweetness of life and a feeling
of its abundance every single day—where you can see
and feel your surroundings, knowing how your living environment
serves you, or not. To know if your inner emotional living
space is connecting with your outer physical living space
and create balance with what is essential to your soul and
your deepest desires for harmony in the life you live. A
new awakening to the choices and commitments you’re
making that either fit or don’t fit with what you really
want for your life. A new sense of hope to lead you
in overcoming illness, allowing for opening up to creativity,
bringing forth meaningful relationships, creating new opportunities
for abundance in work, play, rest and family life in balance,
and best of all—appreciation for what is present, and
moving you to a level of happiness. A connectedness—that
makes you whole because your wellbeing is clearly defined
and expressed.
Approaching your own expression of wellbeing begins with
one moment at a time…allowing one moment in time to
stand still. Suspending time to a second, and another
and then another. Noticing each one and knowing that when
one second comes another will follow. Just notice and watch
without thought… without expectation… without
scrutiny! Each one will come and go—each moment
will just pass by. And, when it does just know that whatever
passes will never exist again. When you notice time in this
way, you will begin to experience a new appreciation for
what is—YOU in this moment, right now!
This is the beginning of your journey to your own expression
of wellbeing!
When you give time to view your life as a moment of time
this way, you become the journey in each of your days, giving
new meaning to what is uniquely your own expression of wellbeing.
How it feels, looks, tastes, sounds and even smells like.
Just notice and when you are ready, jot down what comes through—the
energy that is connected to these senses. Did you experience
good feelings? And, were there any negative thoughts
or sensations? Begin writing what you notice.
And when you begin expressing what you notice in this way,
allowing for your inner space to open up to a new energy,
notice what is around you in your physical surroundings in
this peaceful and still moment. Is your working and living
space connecting to your inner space that you just experienced,
giving you a sense of balance and clarity, or are you experiencing
the opposite? If you sense any blocked or stagnant
feelings, or inability to clearly notice what is in the way,
it may be time for a tune up of both your inner and outer
living space.
This is a new beginning to your inner journey—welcome
to your true path to wellness, where every month you will
explore and achieve greater wellbeing through guidance based
on many ancient healing traditions such as Feng Shui, Reiki,
meditation and coaching that will transform your inner and
outer self into feeling more alive and balanced in work and
in daily life. When you become one with your external living
environment and inner landscape of strength, you will live
your dreams with purpose and passion, and you will feel all
the joy you are meant to be here for.
