fall 7 times, fall seven times, proverb, the right way,

More than one “right” way (short post)

May 8, 2020

I’ve resonated with this proverb since I first saw it when I was about 17 years old: “Fall 7 times. Stand up 8.”

To me, it means, “just keep going.” It means: Believe in yourself to get back up; have the strength and determination to get back up; and have faith that if you get back up, then you’ll succeed eventually.

But, there isn’t one right way to do something—every single time.

There’s really only “the right way to do it, in this moment.”

So, sometimes we can’t get up, and we need to just allow ourselves to rest for awhile.

And other times, when we’ve been knocked down one thousand too many times, we need to come up fighting.

Hi, I’m Jen Wozny, a Holistic Energy Healer blending together Reiki, Shamanism, Psychic Healing, Life Coaching, Holistic Guidance, Yoga, Psychology, and trauma studies into each appointment with clients.

I used to have a “perfect” life on the outside, 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 road trip across North America: This was my Shamanic Initiation 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.
