✨💦 HEAL THROUGH NATURE

Nature is healing. That is where we come from. We have more in common with nature than we think. Because we all consist mainly of water. So does nature. And water has a wonderful characteristic. It communicates and transports information quickly. The smaller amount of water adapts to a larger amount of water. So when we are walking barefoot through the grass or a forest, when we hug trees, we take a swim or just put our feet into natural water, we are surrounded by the natural frequency. Which is carried as data by the water in the grass, the trees, the lakes, the sea, the rivers, etc. ✨💦 When our system and cells are in chaos because we had a bad day, a fight, an emotional breakout, spiraling thoughts getting in touch with nature/water rebalances us quickly into the natural frequency, as we as the smaller part of water adapt to the bigger one. Second best option: Take a sea salt bath at home, or program the water before bathing in it with 432 Hz sounds. Just let a song play (there are plenty on Youtube and Spotify) in the bathroom, before you enter the bathtub. ... read the rest of this article in a past article "New Moon Ascension in The Anthology..

"Transformation always comes in the gaps. We set up our easel, we start something, whatever the form may be, and we go through the motions. We don’t know when or how or what, but sooner or later a breakthrough will occur. We just have to begin, and it has to come from our heart. Sooner or later, because we’re doing what we believe in..."
I love creating the space for people to experience the open pathways for their personal transformation; big or small ..whatever it is that their soul is calling for..from a desire that nudges them for something new.
We had such a lovely time sharing in a Joyful Approach Sangha through journaling, meditation, thought provoking conversation and sharing, Breathwork and Sound healing, & even some community mingling after. Hearts cracked open and lots of Joyful outcome, I was so grateful to witness.
Gratitude and love to @amandaabeth for her Reiki and beautiful assistance.

Stay tuned for more upcoming events and opportunities for Joyful Transformation..with so much love, Joy💛

Rest in Peace my Brother Jackie.. ✨🙌 My be

Rest in Peace my Brother Jackie.. ✨🙌 My beloved friends, I share this photo of my brother who passed away 27 years & 18 days ago.
It's not his anniversary nor his birthday, but for whatever reason I woke this morning from a night of sobbing in grieving and longing for him as if it was only yesterday that he left his body.

✨ The reason I share this is because I want you to know that its never too late to grieve or mourn a loss. My subconscious psyche brilliantly informs me of unprocessed info that hasn't been dealt with ..still after this amount of time, there are indeed more layers for me to uncover. (Today I will surely invest time to Breathwork which has been on hold for too long).

✨In reflection, my sister said that Jackie only wanted to create a pathway for us to heal others and as long as we are, he is just fine. I believe this and its why the gift of healing is so important to me. Breathwork and all the Esoteric healing modalities I offer are what has helped me so much with loss and pain & its why I formulated the Alchemy to help others.
With love and blessings,
Joy 💛 #thejoyfulapproach #grieving #loss #breathwork #esoteric #healing #love #lightworker #spiritualpath

The Universe will present you with opportunities to up-level and ascend by pushing you over your edges. Do you know those uncomfortable moments that you have a choice to either sit back or get uncomfortable by standing up for your truth? Take awareness and realize these are indeed gifts. *

✨Affirm Self Love:
Start by simply placing your hand on your heart and affirming I love myself, even though I have no idea how to love myself, I choose love anyway.
Choose love.
Love is a choice you make everyday. Love is an action, requiring your devotion and dedication. ✨“Because he believes in himself, he doesn’t try to convince others. Because he is content with himself, he doesn’t need others’ approval. Because he accepts himself, the whole world accepts him.” – Lao Tzu.
✨Once we begin to accept ourselves unconditionally, we begin to trust ourselves and believe in ourselves and gain more confidence. To believe in yourself, you must first know who you are. And to know who you are you must acknowledge what’s the story you are creating in your mind. Your hopes and fears. Your strengths and weakness. Your attitude and philosophy toward life. And much more.

Have You Met Your Higher Self? ✨ When you ask for help or guidance from your higher self, you are truly taking a giant Self-Help step. It is your connection to your unconscious. The higher self is the part of you that has not been wounded by judgements or limiting beliefs nor is it a reflection of your wishes or expectations; although your higher self can assist you by clearing a pathway so you can attain your dreams faster or more easily.

THROUGH A JOYFUL TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE

THROUGH A JOYFUL TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE

✨ Are you ready to experience something new in your life? In this immersion you will strengthen your relationship with yourself, and connect with your internal authenticity and happiness.
✨
With the integration of gathering community, the power of human connection, intention setting, laughter, mantras, breathwork, energy and sound healing, the space to call in your deepest desires is created for your greatest transformation.
✨
Feel deeply as you access your truest self and connect powerfully with an extraordinary community with this uniquely guided practice.

The three part Breathwork serves as the vehicle for potent healing to uncover the unconscious material; old stories, limiting beliefs, primal destructive patterns. The stuck emotions that have become embedded inside the body.

Through the active meditation, we begin to release stagnant energy as we allow for more clarity freedom love, joy and truth.
✨
Breathwork allows you to access deeper levels of awareness and dive deeper into your true self. The active breath allows for clearing of the energy field of old emotions, conditioning, traumas and can change old patterns, habits, and ways of thinking. You may experience physical sensations, moving intense feelings, emotional release, waves of pleasure, and perhaps colorful visions.
✨
After the active meditation, you will transcend into a restorative state of healing as I provide a melting sound bath to harmonize the physiological body, nervous system and balance the chakra’s. You will leave feeling more connected to your authentic self. You’ll most likely feel lighter and renewed, having cleared the debris of what was holding you back. You may receive answers, clarity, new realized creative possibilities with a lens of love and an open heart.
✨
Dress comfortably Bring a Journal If you have your own eye mask, crystals or anything you would like to bring to feel more comfortable, please feel free to do so. Light snack and refreshments provided.

You have one center - one core and there is only one YOU. ✨ Have you gotten away from your core, truth or authentic you? Its pretty common for us to get distracted from the essence of who we truly are through life in the world we live in today. I provide a space for you to peel the layers to get back to the beauty of who you truly are and share tools for you to radiate that light in full expression for feeling more ✨ freedom ✨ love and✨ joy in optimal living.
I am beyond grateful to receive JOYFUL LOVE daily on the transformations occurring with my clients and Sangha members.. here is one of my most recent ✨ "Joy is everything I could wish for in a healer: empathetic, generous, knowledgeable and patient... This is her true (and maybe divine) calling, to guide others to align, center, emanate their best selves. I have worked with Joy for just four months and there is a new serenity in my life I can only attribute to her, from our sessions and meditations. Thank you Joy"
AP, NYC ✨ ✨ Tomorrow I will post the next Joyful event on January 19th at 4pm-6pm in NYC for you to experience the transformation that might just change your life.. if you'd like me to reserve your spot, please dm me or email me @joy@thejoyfulapproach.com with Reserve my Spot in the header. This is a limited immersion. I am excited to help you awaken to the gift that is YOU! ✨💛🙌

Over the last few hours of my time away on holiday

Over the last few hours of my time away on holiday, I came across a kindred spirit. She wound up being a mirror and in a short time together, we discovered that we had a similar story on our path. While we were connecting deeper, my new friend asked me "Why are you leaving so soon? Why don't you stay for New Years?" The question provoked deeper inquiry than the short response I replied with.
✨ My purpose is what drives me, propels me, and springs me with passion and action. My purpose is way greater than self. My purpose is connected to a much higher force. My purpose is in devotion to being of service. What I realized as essential, is the service first comes from service to my authentic self and devotion to the best self I could be and then serving others through transmission, healing and guidance.My purpose is my life mission awake and roaring inside me. My purpose is what I am most grateful for. ✨🙌

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.” ― Thich Nhat Hanh,

✨ Gratitude is one of the greatest tool's to change your energy and raise your frequency ✨ When you practice gratitude daily, a training of your psyche takes place. This keeps you vibrating in a high frequency pattern regardless of life’s current circumstances. ✨ When you practice gratitude you learn to live in the moment and to see life as a continuous series of blessings. It helps you improve your mental outlook, increase your happiness and foster your self-esteem. It teaches you that the biggest blessings in life often come in the smallest packages. Practice gratitude every day, and cultivate a happier life for yourself all year long.

A Joyful action step to living your high vibe life

A Joyful action step to living your high vibe life is by creating your environment the way you most want to feel. Asses what needs clearing up and cleaning out and tune into the feelings you most want to feel. Design the life that belongs to you and no-one else. ✨ #thejoyfulapproach #manifestor #spiritedlife #awakenedlife

H O L I D A Y ✨ B L E S S I N G S 🙌 ✨ Whatever faith you belong to or religion you believe in, it's time for us to realize that we all came from the same source. The Tree of Life, a widespread concept throughout most cultures and philosophies represents the sacred cosmic tree connecting all forms of creation.✨
✨ The Tree of Life has many interpretations and understandings, but essentially it represents the interconnectedness of everything in the universe.

✨ It symbolizes togetherness and serves as a reminder that you are never alone or isolated, but rather that you are connected to the world. The roots of the Tree of Life are anchored deep and wide spread into the earth, accepting nourishment from Mother Earth, and its branches reach up into the sky, accepting energy from the sun and moon. ✨

Wishing you a most beautiful Holiday season and may you feel the oneness of the world that connects us all infinitely. I LOVE you ... ✨💛 Joy

Years ago as I was experiencing an awakening, a friend I met at @Esalen introduced me to the teachings of R A M D A S S. There was a familiar feeling like I already knew Ram Dass for lifetimes. @babaramdass RamDass had profound impact on me, and I have turned to his learnings mostly. He is a spiritual teacher, guide and author of BE HERE NOW which sums up the tenants of compassion, equanimity, love, awareness, presence, oneness grace, joy, inclusivity ..heart -heart -heart .... "Love Everyone and Tell the Truth" ..."Be Here Now".. "We Are All Walking Eachother Home" Ram Dass Today my heart is heavy to learn that Baba Ram Dass left his body💔 .. In reverence for all the learnings lessons transmissions of love .. Rest now and see you again beautiful Ram Dass . ✨🙌 #thejoyfulapproach #beherenow #ramdass #spiritualpath

W I N T E R S O L S T I C E Blessings- The Solst

W I N T E R S O L S T I C E Blessings- The Solstice marks the beginning of the winter season and is the shortest day and longest night of the year. A time of introspection, turning inward during these darker months, becoming quiet sleeping longer and nurturing. There are many rituals and ceremonies in celebration of the solstice. Through ritual, we may release regrets, disappointments, and failures of the current year as a symbolic way to have a clean state in the coming year. Light candles and lanterns while setting intentions you would like to most see come forth in the next year.

RAISE YOUR VIBRATION WITH THE FOODS YOU EAT AND HO

RAISE YOUR VIBRATION WITH THE FOODS YOU EAT AND HOW YOU CONSUME THEM✨
✨ 1. Dark Leafy Greens: kale, arugula, spinach, Swiss chard, bok choy, and mustard greens, etc These are so vibrant because of the energy they soak up directly from the sun in their production of chlorophyll. As a rule, any bright or dark colored vegetable or fruit is packed with nutrition, and good vibration. Pick any one of these to toss in a salad or sauté with a little salt and raw apple cider vinegar..✨ 2. Green Juice.This is the perfect way to get those dark leafy greens. Throw them in the juicer and out comes an easy to drink, easy to digest, immediately absorbed energy source. ✨ 3. Fermented Foods.This food is ALIVE. It is roaming with beneficial probiotic flora, just waiting to join our gut ecosystem. ✨ 4. Sprouts and any Raw and Living Foods. Raw nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables,
✨ 5. Medicinal Mushrooms.Chaga and Reishi are the big ones here. All edible mushrooms boost your immune system and have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory benefits. ... continue in comments ......

✨ Join us for an extraordinary opportunity: I

✨ Join us for an extraordinary opportunity: I intentionally created these at a specific time because Sunday is the day of the Sun, a perfect day for restoring and connecting with your inner self. It’s a profound day for going within and tapping into your spirit and inner radiance. The energy of the day really supports self-reflection, spiritual growth and giving yourself the time you need to restore and replenish your soul.
This will provide a beautiful vibe for unwinding and getting centered and gaining clarity for your most productive week ahead.

Astrologically, Sunday is also the perfect time to focus on matters surrounding your health and well-being. This is a small group in my healing space for more individualized healing. The importance of emotional hygiene, clearing renewing and an intimate connection to self have infinite benefits. This will be the closest offering to receiving a 1:1 session yet communing in a small group in the healing space.
Breathwork Sound Reiki and Crystals…
Reconnect your mind, body, and spirit through a three-part transformational breathing meditation. This breathing modality has the ability to remove emotional, mental, and physical blockages; reduce anxiety, and increase mental clarity and provides personal transformation. Start off your week with intention and breathe in new life force to work with your deep soul desires.

We then transcend into a melting sound bath to restore and bring the physiological body into harmony. You will likely leave feeling lighter brighter and more in touch with your inherent wisdom and gifts.
The smaller setting will allow for more personalized individual care and energy transfer.
✨✨ Very limited space - Next Dates available: December 22 January 5th
