My Journey, Part 1

So, my journey. . . I've been blessed. Truly. I was a mother of two young children, married, financially struggling, and not very happy. Asleep? Yes. But I was destined to awake and wanted it on some level, even though I didn't know it cognitively. I was looking for a way to increase our income and even though I had a bachelor's degree (in health promotion), I became very excited over the possibility to go back to school, this time massage school. I was intrigued by natural health. My mom & dad were in process of learning much in way of natural health. They had become vegetarians and had taught and encouraged their children to do so, which we all did because we are a family who loves to learn and improve. This was part of the journey, definitely. What great parents to open the door for more learning for me. They also helped me go to massage school. And that was an integral part of my experience. It changed everything for me, in the way I think and the person I now know myself to be. The classes and information was indeed interesting and made me feel alive to be learning it. But what really changed everything for me was one of the intructors. His name is Jonathan. And I owe a lot to him for the space he created for me. He is the person who taught me how to do energy work and emotional release work, but more importantly how to think about my own healing and how to really assist others in their processes. I worked with him for years. I received much work from him and took several classes from him, learned a lot from him. I will write more about the specifics of what I learned in future posts, because it is just how I think now.
Someone else who I must mention in this post who has been part of this journey for me in so many ways is my husband, Curtis. He has supported me in each step. He is on his own journey of awakening and of bringing his gifts and talents to those who would benefit from them. He is humble and teachable. He is passionate about serving. And he isn't afraid. So, he has walked right beside me, as we've been awakening together. He became a vegetarian with me, he's helped me through so many emotional processes as I've been finding myself. He makes things clear for me when I am confused. I couldn't ask for a more loving and supportive partner.
These people have been a part of my journey. I am blessed. ~Julie
