By definition, Beauty is something that is pleasing to the sensory systems or the mind, aesthetically. Simple enough, right? And yet, there is a deeper, more conscious context within which to discuss and analyze beauty. Have you ever walked into a party and felt the presence of one person who is lighting up the room, dazzling the crowd through words, gestures, and intrigue? She may or may not be stunningly gorgeous. Either way, people are drawn to her and so you will judge her through rose-colored glasses because of the way she makes people feel and the reaction she receives from the crowd. On the contrary, have you ever looked at a model that you acknowledge intellectually as attractive, yet you experience no real draw? They have all the right symmetrical features, that perfect body, and yet when you look in their eyes, you feel nothing. Dead energy. There is no captivation factor. This person simply does not warm you. For example, I can’t tell you how many textbook “hot” guys I have absolutely no interest in. I am neither captivated nor attracted. The mojo is missing. And do you know what the difference is? Captivation and perception of beauty has everything to do with one’s capacity to emit frequency and to hold a denser field of photons in the energy that imbues and surrounds the physical body. In other words, beauty has to do with one’s ability to hold light, literally. Light is what draws. Light is what captures. Light is what heals. Light feels good. Light is beauty. It was the late, great Maya Angelou who said, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” When we discuss aesthetics, we refer to what is pleasing to the senses and how we interpret what is "beautiful". From my work as an "Energy Healer and Heart Activator" using a variety of techniques to purify the multidimensional energy systems in order to reconnect my client with their inner glow and high-vibe, “sparkle factor”, while having a background in fashion, I know that the interpretation of what we find attractive has a much more holistic range than what is commonly discussed. Looking exclusively at someone’s physical appearance in judgment of attractiveness is like focusing on one colour of the rainbow, when you feel the rich, expansive diversity of light from the entire spectrum of photons and the power of that full range is what magnetically draws you in. And yet you call that feeling “pink”, because your scope of awareness is limited. Usually, people aren’t fully conscious of why they are attracted to someone, or something. I believe it has everything to do with the relationship between energetic dynamics and the capacity for captivation, and how that relationship affects one’s physical appearance. You see beautiful ones, to give you a little foundational background: we are Light Beings. Humans are vast and powerful. Humans are multidimensional. When I say this, I mean that there are many dimensions of existence that make up the totality of who you are, beyond this physical understanding. We are made of matter, but behind all matter is an energetic component and the energy systems behind the physical body are beautiful, complex and connected to spirit. We learn that all matter has an energetic component in middle school science classes, but fail as adults to apply this idea to the human body. In fact, everything is energy. Energy is the substance that precedes all physical manifestations in this world. We are drawn to energy or we are repelled by energy. We discuss someone’s “vibe” without fully understanding that this concept refers to the rate at which one literally vibrates. And guess what? You can shift your vibration. This is your power. The higher your vibration the more light you hold in your field. And know this: what exists as vibrational patterns within you will be manifested into your external world physically. This is Law of Attraction 101. So, instead of focusing on the external component of a difficult situation, we must first learn to focus internally and balance the vibrations. Thereafter, continue to focus on healing the physical components. Often those who wish to release weight are dealing with a deeper, core energetic pattern associated with the need to protect oneself, and commonly an inability to let go of the past. They are heavy in their field, thus heavy in their bodies. Focusing on light and Self-Love must come first, or at least accompany the physical measures you take to release weight. And so it is with beauty. If there is a blockage in your internal or external energy field often times we will see this in facial features, skin rashes, dark circles, puffiness, bloating, lack of radiance, skin blemishes and acne, weight loss, weight gain, tightness in the jaw, poor posture, or even hair loss. People who unconsciously slump their shoulders are energetically trying to protect their hearts. So you see, it really is amazing, and quite a new realization through my experiences with my clients, that sometimes after a session people will physically look younger, brighter and more relaxed. And to reiterate, the reason is that when we hold onto blockages in our energy, often times you see it physically. So the old saying goes: "As above so below." This idea relates to my previous explanation that, and I will say it until I am blue in the face, behind all matter is an energetic component. I can literally tell in my friend’s facial features when it’s time for a good ol’ energy clearing As a culture, we are progressively on the brink of understanding how emotions, vibrations, energy and frequency affect the mind and the body. When you learn to let go of your blockages on an energetic level, it frees up space within your vibrational field to align with the highest possible frequencies of light. As that alignment is reached your outer world will thus reflect your new, empowered state. You get closer to your natural essence, authenticity, and unique perfection. The physical follows suit to the energetic precedent. Perfection has nothing to do with external standards of symmetry and cultural idolization. Perfection has to do with your genuine alignment with spirit, with the universe, with source energy. When that most important, intimate and powerful relationship is attended to, first and foremost, all else falls into place and the people around you will respond to it. This is when Beauty Meets Divinity. This is when beauty has consciousness and depth. This is where beauty captivates and heals. Hold your light Beautiful Ones and be you. All the power of the universes exist within you, as you learn to harness the full range of your creative capacity. When you do this, you glow. You shine, and your walk becomes Sacred. All we must learn to do is shine the light that we already are. With love always from me and my team #Self-Love First #Beauty within

Who am I kidding? It is always the season to Gift and Receive. It makes my heart sing. I am always looking for opportunities where I can gift back. Now this is my running pattern and sometimes I can do this to a fault. Do you know what I mean? Okay let me reframe this. Have you ever given, given, given until you are exhausted? Have you given so much you are beginning to feel resentful that it is not being appreciated? You give until there is nothing left of you. Well there are many things underlying this "condition". Yes I believe it is a condition. Now just feel into this and see if any one of these statements ring true for you or trigger you. Are you looking for acknowledgement? Are you lacking in self-worth and searching for your value by over giving? You could be hiding behind this. And lying to yourself. No I just love giving, that is who I am! Are you looking for love and appreciation outside of yourself? Do you secretly fear that if you stop giving, they won't love you for who you are? Does any of this ring true? Let me tell you a dirty little secret. This was me. This was my sub-conscious pattern that I was not aware of. I was hiding behind over giving and feared that if I stopped being so generous...the love and appreciation would stop. And if I stopped...I would have to look at me and who I really was. Than I would have to look at what my self-worth was. OMG! I would have to go into my heart and look at my truth. Ugh! Yucky right? Let me tell you what happened when Leona started changing her pattern of giving, giving, giving. My worst nightmare happened. Everything I feared came true. First family, loved ones and friends were like what the heck? What is going on? Leona isn't dropping everything for us and fixing our problems. I can't just call Leona and she will over compensate and make everything right. How dare she say no? They were confused. They called me selfish. They said she is so self-absorbed. She cares about no one but herself. Really? Me...selfish and self absorbed. I was none of those things. Yet people closest to me were feeling hurt and betrayed. They stopped talking to me. Even got angry at me. My worst nightmare, no one loved me! The spiralling began. The self-doubt within. Lack of self-worth. Not only did my family stop talking to me, my business was suffering. My marriage was falling apart. My world was spinning out of control and I went into a deep depression. Yes the Self-Love Expert lost everything she knew to be true. I took a step back from my life. I retreated from everything I knew and sequestered myself into a tiny apartment and told no one where I was. I was a fucking mess and didn't let anyone know. I still pretended sometimes to put on a pretty face and smiled. Yet I was a complete mess. I kept going back and forth to my husband trying desperately to figure this out. What the F***? It was probably the hardest two years of my life. Why do I share this with you? Because there is huge value in this. We are all growing and learning. Sometimes we need to lose everything we know, so we can expand and truly learn to love ourselves. Because there is an opportunity to come out the other side with so much self love and empowerment. You can choose to be a victim of your experiences or you can choose to be a powerful being that you are. Yes we all have the GIFT of choice. It is the gift that keeps on giving. Choose to expand or choose to withdraw. Which do you choose? I choose to expand and love myself more each moment. I choose to be the best version of me each day and enjoy each experience to the fullest. Even if it is hard. I have come out the other side of this with so much self love and self awareness. I have learned to love more deeply. I have an awareness of who I truly am. I am love. I feel this in every cell of my body. Now I gift from a place of that knowingness and will always do so. I don't give from a place of lack or trying to fill a void or a place of wanting to be recognized or appreciated. I gift because I am here to be of service and share my experiences. So I choose to be in the most Loving Relationship with myself first and than gift from that place and receive from that space as well. You get to choose whether you want to receive that gift. Oh...receiving is a whole other level to this which I will share more on soon. Sending you beams of LOVE ENERGY!!! Leona We know that Joy, Happiness, Bliss and Good Feelings can be obtained through the right experience. We even have science that can measure the effects of this through your heart coherence. See this States of The Heart by the "Heart Math Institute"
The question is how can we sustain these positive feelings when we leave the experience? I am all about the experience. Heck I created Divine Beauty Experiences I am all about the high and how can we sustain that feeling of joy, bliss and happiness. That is why I am always on the search for new ways and methods to create this possibility. Not just yoga and meditation, these are great and valuable! Yet I am also about the processes and techniques and products! Leading edge possibilities that think outside of the box. I want to share something with you very exciting. It’s a combination of the right people, the right places and the right products mixed into an experience that is sustainable after you leave and return home. When I came upon this, every cell in my body began vibrating. Finally, there it is! Everything I have been called to search for, someone else had the brilliant idea to create it. While I am not an expert in #Beauty products, I do have years of experience and I have travelled the world and have had the luxury of trying a multitude of beauty skincare and cosmetics. So I guess that makes me a self-proclaimed expert. After a few posts on FB and Instagram this amazing Swiss company contacted me and asked if I wanted to try their products. Of course I said YES! Hello. So a few short days later the product arrived. Like a giddy school girl, I danced in circles as I held the box in my hands. Anticipating the gifts! Don’t forget this product knowledge fell into my lap and now was in my hands. I opened up the box and immediately felt gratitude coursing through my veins. Let me tell you a little bit about this product and the producers. They have been in the skincare business since 1979. They are located in a pristine and beautiful village in Switzerland. They have been certified organic, eco-friendly, green and the first to be certified in #Quantum SkinCare. Oh yes you heard me. Quantum Energetic SkinCare. Instead of me trying to convince you, check out this link. Here is the laboratory and online store PhytoVillage Online Store Their Blog PhytoVillage Blog I am all about releasing the inner beauty so it may resonate on the outside. Now here is a product I can align myself with. I am very emotional this morning as I write this blog. Not out of anything negative, only out of pure joy and gratitude. Why? Because I am leaving Portugal soon…I will be back. Yet this morning as I was journaling I had this huge wave of emotion come through. Portugal has been a beautiful surprise one after another since I stepped into this country 71 days ago. I have been guided, supported, loved, encouraged, expanded, healed and more through my experiences here. It has been such a positive experience like a warm embrace of something very familiar and a place I will always call home. I have travelled and lived many places and Portugal is my favourite. Now I want to share with you my biggest surprise and my most amazing blessing here. That is my experience with the masculine. I have made the most amazing male friends here. They all have the biggest hearts, they have been the most generous, have had the kindest words, they have expressed the most thoughtful actions and have been my biggest teachers in this lifetime so far. Now that is a lot to say! I am truly, truly blessed to have all of these men in my life! They have opened my heart and increased my understanding and awareness of what was required for me to grow and learn. They also held the space with love, understanding and support as Leona is being Leona. This is a huge feat in itself. I am so grateful for all of them. I am sure that if I sat here and named them one by one that they would be embarrassed and say “Leona, no problem. It is only normal to be like this.” They have literally opened the doors for me to heal. What I also realized is that none of this would have showed up if I had not been ready to RECEIVE this. It is because of all of the years of inner work. All of the years of “failing” at relationships. All of the years of peeling back layers of my mask. All of the years of building up “Am I worthy?” All of this has prepared me to receive the beautiful gifts that the masculine has bestowed upon me. I have come back to my love. My beautiful masculine, here in Portugal. This is where my union happened. I will always be so grateful for the men that stepped forward on my journey to provide me with their gifts to make this all a reality. My Amazing Knights in Portugal! Actually…my Amazing Kings of Portugal! I am so tempted to name them one by one. Yet they know who they are. They all have my heart…forever and always. Every corner that I turn more magic unfolds in the streets of Portugal. I have been here 3 weeks and each day more miracles unfold to receive. It was never in my awareness to venture to Portugal until about a year ago. Than the signs started to come to me that I needed to create one of my retreats here. So the journey began. The Universe brought me beautiful connections from Portugal and the energies began to connect and conspire in the background, calling me to be in Portugal. Little did I know at the time, that my plans would go to the wayside for the bigger ones that the Universe had in store for me. Oh what wondrous ways the Universe works...especially when you trust and let go of control. There has been so much that has unfolded and so much more to come, that I have decided to create a whole vlog/blog dedicated to this journey with the intention of sharing not only the magic of Portugal but also the people, experiences, the love, the awareness, the energy and so much more. So your journey will be enriched and assist you in your growth. Stay connected and I will share this page soon. I am honoured to be on this journey with you. Always with love.

We all know this yet why do we struggle with such a critical key component? Could it be that at every turn we are challenged with mind-sets that keep us small? Or that keep us in a place of judgement because we are not abiding by the rules of society? It very well could be. And so I ask you this? Do you really care what others think of you? I am sure you do. We all do. Since we were born we relied on the acceptance of another person. An encouraging smile as we did something that pleased our parents, reinforcing the behaviour pattern over and over again until it became a pattern and a belief. Nothing wrong with those beliefs until you want to change something in your life. Like a new job, a new relationship, more money, better health....the list could go on and on. So we reach out to others and we invest in programs so we can break through those limiting beliefs. Than we may obtain some success and usually it is short term or unsustainable. Why is that? Because we lack the one key to Success! Self-Confidence. It is the first thing that your sub-conscious will challenge and judge as you are trying to expand and grow. It also tends to be the last thing we invest in! Building our Self-Confidence. Building our relationship with ourself. Expanding our Self-Love. Hmmm...well I say it is time to stop that cycle and invest in yourself today. Take time out for you. Do something you love? Just BE. Have the most amazing day! Sending you love and light where ever you are in the world, lovingly Leona Your Self-Love Expert and Relationship Coach www.AwakenTheBeauty.com So I am going to start blogging about my experiences. The journey will be titled "And so this happened..." A few days ago I was invited to meet at the park by the #Eiffel Tower. You know that place in #Paris where millions visit? Not my favourite place during the day because being an "empath and healer" I tend to pick up on #energy
So this happened... We came upon a group of young people. Each being from a different part of our beautiful planet. The young man was playing on his guitar. He was playing one of my favourite songs by #Nahko. Tears were rolling down my face. It reminded me of my sons. And in that moment my heart opened so wide to receive the #love that was coming thru. So of course we all started to talk. Well...it turns out they were actually calling us in all day! The young women were needed to connect with empowered women in Paris to support them on their journey. We cried. We hugged and hugged and hugged. We sat in disbelief for a moment and then in awe and gratitude. One women even had her alias as "Leona" on facebook. Then another moment. It turns out the young man is a healer and light worker like me. We connected. You could feel our energies merge and flow and charge each other. It was so powerful! The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine experiencing the # oneness! It lasted forever...as I will feel that in my heart always. Needless to say we found another part of our soul family in the park that day as the Eiffel Tower watched over us. Always in awe and gratitude of my life the more I "allow and receive" Much love and light Leona www.AwakenTheBeauty.com I have a question for you. Are you ready to be part of something bigger than you? Here I am sharing with you "The Raw Truth Of What It Has Taken Me!" Believing in dreams. Courage. Strength. Determination. Most importantly Self-Love. I know it is not always easy, yet I believe you have what it takes to make your dreams come true! Thank you for taking the time to listen. My intention is that with sharing my journey it will help you. Much love always, Leona www.AwakenTheBeauty.com Have you ever thought about what shame is and how it could be affecting your life by limiting your self-worth?
Shame is a tactic that has been used for centuries as a way to protect and control tribe members. In ancient times, tribes lived in enclosures known as pales. As long as members stayed in the enclosed area, they were protected. But once members stepped “beyond the pale,” the tribe would no longer protect them, and would wound them through abandonment, betrayal, or shame. Many religious leaders control their communities through shame. In much the same way, shame is used by families. It is passed down from generation to generation and most of us carry shame around for a long time before we even realize it. Shame can originate from something big, such as sexual abuse. But, it can also originate from something seemingly small, such as a passing comment. And, many families have implied rules that are unspoken. As a child you probably learned about these rules for the first time when you crossed a line that you never knew existed and were subsequently shamed. The well-studied alcoholic family system is a great example of this. The truth is virtually no one can live past the age of 12 without having been shamed about something. If you have ever felt ashamed of your social status, your body size, or your age it is likely that shame originated from your family. Living with shame can deeply hurt your sense of self-worth. In fact, it can effect your life on many levels, including your health. What Happens When You Carry Around Your Shame? When you are shamed as a child, that shame becomes internalized into a lack of self-worth. Unlike guilt, which is the feeling of doing something wrong, shame is the feeling of being something wrong. It is that voice that says “I am not good enough.” You end up believing that you are flawed and unworthy of the connection you so desperately seek. This often causes an insatiable need for approval from others and a need to feel like you belong. Bonding from a place of shame can make you physically and emotionally ill. For one thing, bonding with others over the parts of yourself that you feel ashamed of puts you in victimhood. If you bond while in victim-mode, you will tend to bond with other victims who validate how much you’ve suffered and how hard it must have been for you. After a while, these relationships backfire leading to deeper feelings of self-hatred and even self-abuse. Boys who have been shamed tend to act out in anger. Girls tend to turn their shame inward, becoming more introverted. Narcissists often have shame at the core of their self-inflated behavior and will deflect their shame by devaluing or attacking others. Another pattern that shame can induce is avoidance. In addition, many violent behaviors can have shame as a root cause. How Shame Affects Your Health Aside from that queasy feeling in your stomach or that knee-jerk reaction that makes you want to hide, shame can be at the core of many physical and emotional illnesses, including • Addiction • Depression • Anxiety • Eating disorders • Perfectionism and other compulsive behaviors • Chronic pain • Digestive issues • Social phobias. A study by Jean M. Lamont, a researcher at Bucknell University, showed that women who have felt body-shame tend to experience more infections and symptoms, and experience lower levels of health in general. Another study showed that feelings of shame increased pro-inflammatory cytokines, a marker for inflammation and disease. The people who felt the most shame had the highest elevation of cytokine activity. Contact me for 6 Easy Ways to Release Shame NOW!
