🤩 The Suppression of Joy 🤩
As we develop through our formative years often we experience an inherent disconnect where we learn to suppress and control ourselves in very toxic ways.
The way we are met by our culture, by our caregivers, by our educators and peers can potentially cause a shutting down of our natural, spontaneous way of expressing who we are in any given moment.
This often causes a split in the psyche, the “I” that resists expression, resists our humanity, and the expression itself. “I” then becomes separate from my experience and my expression.
We learn to contort ourselves, we learn to keep up appearances and fit in as our experience tells us we will not be accepted as we are.
This is one of the original wounds that causes the shutting down of the joy of Being. The suppression of joy is directly related to this split in the psyche, when we experience states of intense joy it is often co-opted by a part in the background that holds back, that is fearful of truly allowing ourselves to let go and express freely.
A kind of subtle or not so subtle freeze response can permeate our letting go into the experience. This form of internal control shows up as knots in the body, if we have body awareness we can feel the resistance when it arises.
It is a natural state and it appears spontaneously as we begin to heal this disconnect, when our body, mind and spirit is emptied of imprints and realises we are allowed to be exactly as we are.
Imagine dancing freely, as if nobody's watching…Now imagine dancing freely, whilst everyone is watching.
Notice the difference between the two imaginings, and you will make conscious the very resistance to allowing yourself to be fully you in the presence of others, or fully you in the presence of yourself..
Joy cannot be manufactured or acquired, joy is inherent in who/what we are. It is a natural state, and it appears spontaneously as we begin to heal this disconnect.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👇👇👇👇👇- HICAT
This course has given me so much and more, I never thought when I enquired about HICAT that I would benefit through my own personal growth journey beyond the exploration of being creative in different mediums. I have now witnessed first-hand by doing all the different creative art activities through a holistic approach that change can happen!! This allowed me to be open and honest with every piece I completed, and it took me to places within.
The course covered a range of different topics and gave you an understanding of the importance and connection of why integrated creativity art can provide you with so many tools. The activities we took part in were an amazing and rewarding experience to know that each module and associated activity gave you different techniques which have now been added to my current skills and life experiences.
I will be forever grateful to Julie -Anne that I had the opportunity to attend this course and now to be able to make a change in other people’s lives through education, empowerment and creativity.
True to your testament Julie Anne ‘The Magic Is All Within”.
Thank you - Rita

Module 15 - Creating a business plan.
Today in class we spoke about Impact, Passion and making a difference to the world.
I shared some insights in harnessing fears with focussing on the why you are doing this work, the passion.
Deliver what you are passionate about and always teach from your heart.
We unpacked business plans and visions so much inspiration was found.
I shared my vision, that I have the vision of changing 1,000,000 lives by training Holistic practitioners and teachers and that they are all apart of the vision.
What an impact we all will make to this world as a collective whole.
Wow 🌎❤️🌎

You don’t have to be an exceptionally talented painter to enjoy the process of making art or being creative.
Consider finger painting allowing the paint to glide over the paper with your fingers and let the paint lead you through the whole process step by step.
Let go of any expectations and enjoy the experience.
Finding new ways to be creative is good for your mind, your body and your soul.
Get messy and have just fun.

Last week I joined a women’s choir aka The greatest Women’s song group Surfside Sounds
It was one of my best random decisions I have made. WOW oh WOW.
I do many spontaneous things but attending this group has been absolutely the highlight of my week.
Witnessing a group of women step fully into their voice belting out You Oughta Know Song by Alanis Morissette is absolutely so empowering and inspirational.
This is what it is about!
Joy explodes the whole room with smiling faces, laughter, dancing and a feeling of oneness.
The power of the voice never ceases to amaze me.
“Vocal music promotes health. It accomplishes this object, directly, by the exercise which it gives the lungs and other vital organs; and, indirectly, by the cheerfulness and genial flow of spirits which it is the especial prerogative of music to bestow.” - Author GF Root - The Musical herald, 1884
When was the last time you did something spontaneous?
