“Essence of Healing” Bracelet by Essence Bracelets
** SOLD TO HELEN M FOR $25 **
Each of us is born with an innate capacity for healing which is in forward motion at all times. This life force lovingly breathes for us, regulates our body temperature and heals our wounds simultaneously, asking nothing in return. A profound intelligence that cannot be seen with the naked eye, this invisible fire heals each of us every single day. The strength of our fire is dependent upon how information and energy has been stored in our systems. Every experience we have ever had is stored in our cells as memory. A memory that has stored trauma without healthy resolution will reflect as a body and mind with symptoms and signs of suffering. A mind and heart that are unified as one, free of both conscious and unconscious grievances, will produce a body that is also free of physical disturbance. To ignite our invisible healing essence, we must become entirely aware of the source energy from which we all have come. When our attention is cast only toward the light, our consciousness is lifted and healing happens effortlessly.

http://www.urbancouturephotography.ca/
From the desk of Jennifer Lee:
All my childhood I thrived on passion, whether it was passion of swinging on the swings at the park or coloring within those lines in the coloring books. To take something ordinary and make it your own is what passion is about. I grew up always wanting to do something great with my life. I could be a doctor, a veterinarian, an actress, something that the world would notice me for. As I grew older and life pressed on, I realized I didn’t need to be noticed, I realized then it was my passion and dream to notice people.
As soon as I could afford my first camera it stuck by me constantly, never left my side.
All my friends always laughed because when most girls were glued to their purses and lip-gloss, I was glued to my trigger button.
My passion and dream is to capture the still images of life’s essences and with each photo, a part of me feels complete.
I am where I am supposed to be.
