Today was cool and sunny. The morning dew was thick and chill, an indication the season is shifting to autumn. I wore pants, long sleeves and a jacket for the first time after a summer of dresses and skirts despite the stubborn rain that seems only now to be dissipating with the approach of fall. Steve laughed because I still had my beaded sandals on my feet. “I put shoes on first” he said smiling in his jeans and t-shirt. My feet love being open – they would not think shoes until later in the evening, and they compromised saying I should bring a pair of sandals with me where ever I go for those, just in case days of warmth… for spontaneous liberation… Before I can manifest shoes on my feet I have to have motivation!
At this time I am witnessing a Motivation/Manifestation impulse in my life that is amazing me. One that affirms what quantum physics claims – make an intention and it appears; it doesn’t always appear immediately. When I have experienced these types of “manifestations” there is often a delay from the intention made.
It makes me wonder though if I have intended/manifested or, have I sensed what was becoming… are these mutually exclusive since what we know as reality is less solid than we think?
Many years ago when my daughters were girls I bought a braiding book we loved to learn from. Years later I purchased Naturally Healthy Hair and again sometime after that, a workbook for beauty industry professionals, Body of Knowledge. Mary Beth Janssen is the author of all these books; I loved her style, perspective and her broad range of experience. Personally certified by Deepak Chopra, M.D. and David Simon, M.D., Mary Beth is a Mind Body Health Educator for Deepak’s organization, The Chopra Center for Well-Being. She is also a certified massage therapist, herbalist, aroma therapist, and registered yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance). I wanted to be her when I grew up! (Little did I know I was older than she!)
Mary Beth wrote “Real beauty begins with health, and true wellness is directly related to how we nurture our mind, body and spirit. A profound sense of well-being will enhance one’s self esteem and resiliency. When we feel good and have effective coping strategies in place, our true beauty is able to radiantly shine through.” I wanted more!
“My goal, through retreats, educational seminars, on-site visits, and one-on-one consultations, is to engender a paradigm shift within these professions [beauty/spa/caregivers] at the grass roots level. I have seen first hand the creative energy that is released as individuals begin to internalize the value and power of what they do when they serve others though their work, or right livelihood. My role is to help them recognize and enhance that value. And in transforming their own lives first, they are better able to serve their cherished guests and clientele that visit them every day.” OK where to I sign up!!??
Deep motivation ensued searching online for workshops and/or trainings unsuccessfully – the closest I came was a yoga website in Chicago that stated, “if you are looking for Mary Beth Janssen do not call here” ok … won’t do that!
I had to let the external search go, but held inside that one day there would be a workshop or training with Mary Beth.In an adventure story of it’s own, two and a half years ago I was able to meet her at a special event sponsored by my former boss now girlfriend.
How elated am I to be bringing MBJ, as she signs her emails, to Little Falls, NY on October 17th & 18th for a Meet & Greet and Tutorial on PLEASURE HEALING, the title of her newest book and workshop, where she will reveal techniques that will inspire you to treat your body and soul to the ultimate in Health Care ~ Self Care.
Pleasure Healing
A star in all ways, yet accessible, joyful, loving, healing, enthusiastic, and contagious, Mary Beth lifts all those around her to that cosmic universal space where we meld into one.
THIS is a not to be missed event! You will leave knowing you have shifted from who you were on your way to who you are becoming! Whole, holistic, embracing the multiple expressions of the one you!

QUESTION: How do we know if it’s the Deep Motivation that brings Manifestation or that Kismet is at work? Would love to hear YOUR thoughts on it!
