Playfulness is next to Godliness

November 20, 2017

In some interpretations, enlightenment is associated with a childlike nature. Laughter and good humor; a playful manner; wonder at all things; communion with nature and her plants and animals; a heart that is open, pure, and innocent; and a knowing that we are surrounded by magic, which we know is also ours to embrace.

The clearest example, to me, of this type of person is the Dalai Lama; the man is always jolly and playful, yet very serious and strong in his messages.

It is important for us to maintain this childlike nature as much as we can: It keeps us in touch with who we really are.

Our body can age, our brains can mature, our responsibilities in life can grow, but may we never grow out of that childlike spirit from which we came.

As adults, we sometimes treat this part of us as being separate from ourselves, and we therefore call it our “inner” child. Whether your childlike spirit is tucked inside or fully expressed, may it always bring you joy.

Hi, I’m Jen Wozny, a Holistic Energy Healer blending together Reiki, Shamanism, Psychic Healing, and Life Coaching.

I used to have a “perfect” life, but inside I felt empty. I began to use healing tools, and they made me feel better. Eventually, healing myself was my highest priority. I quit my job, let everything go, and let Spirit guide me on a four-year journey across North America: This was my Shamanic Awakening and soul healing journey. That process trained me in many different healing modalities, which I now bring to you.

Because I know too many people with PTSD/Complex PTSD, and because trauma was part of my own journey, I have made myself trauma aware through both lived experience and professional CE credits. I also work primarily virtually—so we can work together wherever you are in the world.
