I feel redeemed. I’m not sure why this word keeps coming up for me, but I am fully aware of how I feel in my body at this moment compared to earlier today—even compared to this past week. Everything feels like it’s swirling around me, yet I feel as though I’m standing still, watching it all from the outside. I see myself as a physical being, feeling unsure—good, but wary—with all these thoughts swirling around this soul in this human body.
There’s so much I could share about what has occurred since yesterday’s post, but I’m trying to distill it down to the most important lesson for today: how alive I feel because of the actions I’ve taken to awaken my solar plexus on an entirely new level.
What I’ve had to do hasn’t been pretty. I’ve had to face the voices of others, judgments, opinions, and societal expectations about the ways I’m choosing to heal my body. I’ve been denying my personal power—especially my sexual energy and the greatest gifts I hold as a woman, the feminine being I’ve chosen to embody.
How do I know I’ve denied my physical power? Numbness. I’m not shy about admitting that numbness is a state I know well. It’s a “natural-yet-unnatural” protective state. Yes, it’s natural to be protective because survival is hardwired into the human form, but this is where it gets confusing.
Just because I admit to being numb doesn’t mean I can simply think my way into feeling again. And yet... maybe I can. Let go of the thinking mind for a moment as I explore this paradox.
It’s about reprogramming the brain, body, beliefs, and perception of beauty. It’s taken me a long time to align my thoughts with what I want to manifest. The work I’ve done to transmute my shadows into gifts and dissolve corruption in my cells and DNA has brought me to this physical enlightenment: I am safe. Safe to feel my solar plexus. Safe to feel my form. Safe to allow whatever arises within me to surface. My body and nervous system haven’t believed this before, because fear has been a necessary part of humanity’s survival.
When I say I’m getting to know and remember who I am, I mean I am breathing life force into my glands, my organs, my system—the anatomy of my human body. I picture each part as I breathe Source energy through every cell. I envision it flowing through my kidneys, ovaries, adrenals, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, and pituitary glands, filling each with fresh life force. With each breath, I detox and awaken every part of me, using light to heal and release what no longer serves me. I’m beginning to recognize how disconnected we are from truly understanding our bodies.
Before I share today’s card, I want to mention the mantra that’s speaking through me: “So what, now what.” This isn’t about being insensitive. It’s about taking action that makes a difference. Stop sitting around thinking about what could be or where you’ve been shortchanged—whether by society, others, or yourself. Stop holding yourself back. I’m not saying bypass your grief; grieve what you thought was or what you feel you’ve lost. But then, use it. Harness its power with this mantra: So what, now what.
Today’s card from the Celtic Cross spread in the Moonology Oracle Card deck is card #4: The Recent Past—The Disseminating Moon: “Take time out to breathe.”
This card says, “I am where I am, and that’s okay.” It reflects perfectly how I’ve been feeling, especially after a week of being sick and healing from an inflamed immune system in overdrive. I was clearing out things that no longer served me, and it forced me to get really honest with myself. I had to parent myself—with the deep compassion and gentleness of someone caring for a sick child.
During this time, I couldn’t look outward for validation. I had to feel it all—spending both my waking and sleeping hours devoted to listening to the parts of myself I couldn’t hear before. I had to silence the noise of the world: other people’s opinions and old, garbage beliefs that had kept me low and insecure about my purpose.
Are you starting to see the theme here? By day four of this full card spread along with this 40-day covenant has already become a tapestry of old wounds surfacing and leaving, replaced with peace and joy. As I continue through this card spread and covenant, you’ll also hear about the tug-of-war I feel between realms. This is where the Beauty Code Way becomes a bridge—moving me from the torment of clinging to outdated patterns to the truth of the open space that’s created when I let them go.
Remember: the only way out is through.

Exploring the Layers of Transformation
In this second part of the blog, I want to dive deeper into the themes introduced in my journal entry, unpacking the concepts to guide you. This exploration ties together the spiritual, physical, and psychological aspects of transformation, using the Beauty Code Way as a foundational approach.
Solar Plexus, Sacral Plexus, and the Dorsal Ganglia
The solar plexus is often referred to as the seat of personal power, located just above the navel. This energy center governs confidence, willpower, and identity. The sacral plexus, located just below the navel, is the seat of creativity, pleasure, and emotional expression. Together, these plexuses form a powerful connection that influences how we experience the world.
The dorsal ganglia in this area act as relay stations in the nervous system, transmitting signals between the body and the brain. When we “awaken” the solar plexus, we activate a sense of empowerment and sovereignty, allowing us to feel safe in our physical form while expressing our authentic selves.
This awakening contributes to what I call the emergence of the "new human," Homo Sanctus—a being who bridges physical and spiritual realms in a harmonious, evolved state. It aligns with Christ Consciousness, an awareness of unconditional love, unity, and higher purpose. The "Rainbow Body," or Corpus Christi, symbolizes this state of enlightenment where we shed old patterns and embody light in all aspects of our being.
Physical Side Effects of Holding Toxins
When we hold onto physical toxins, whether from poor nutrition, stress, or unresolved emotions, it impacts every gland and system in the body:
- Kidneys: Filter waste, but when overwhelmed, they retain toxicity, contributing to fatigue and low energy.
- Ovaries and Adrenals: Hormonal imbalances can occur, leading to mood swings, stress, and infertility.
- Thyroid and Parathyroid: These glands regulate metabolism and calcium levels, and toxicity can cause sluggishness or hyperactivity.
- Thymus Gland: Responsible for immune function, its suppression leads to chronic illness and inflammation.
- Pituitary Gland: Known as the "master gland," toxicity here disrupts communication between other systems, impairing overall harmony in the body.
Detoxing through breath, light, and intentional practices allows these systems to return to their natural, harmonious states. This is why I focus on creating safety within the body first—without this, the nervous system cannot trust the process.
The Psychology of Numbness and High Achievers
Numbness is a survival mechanism, often employed when we are overwhelmed by physical, emotional, or psychological stress. For high achievers, this state is common because their drive to succeed often overrides their body's signals.
Women, in particular, face unique challenges here. Societal conditioning teaches us to prioritize others, disconnect from our sensuality, and devalue rest and pleasure. The result? A deep-seated numbness, both physical and emotional, that keeps us "safe" but limits our potential for connection and joy.
Recognizing numbness is the first step to healing. By bringing awareness to the body through intentional practices, women can reconnect with their innate wisdom and begin to restore balance.
Tug of War Between Realms
When I speak about the “tug of war between realms,” I refer to the pull between the physical and spiritual worlds, between the past self and the emerging self. It’s the inner battle of letting go of old patterns and beliefs while stepping into a new way of being.
This conflict often feels chaotic or painful, as the nervous system resists change for the sake of perceived safety. However, by building a bridge through practices like those in the Beauty Code Way, we create the structure and support needed to navigate this transition gracefully.
Psychological Healing Through Awareness of Other Voices
Many of us are guided by "other voices"—those of parents, society, and culture—that we’re not even aware are influencing us. These voices shape our beliefs, fears, and actions, often creating dissonance between who we are and who we think we need to be.
When we become aware of these voices, we gain the power to question and rewrite them. This process of resourcing and reimprinting allows us to replace outdated, harmful beliefs with ones that serve our highest purpose. It’s deep, transformative work that requires a solid foundation of self-awareness and safety.
The Pathway to Purpose: 90 Days to Create the Foundation
The foundational 90-Day Pathway to Purpose Intensive of the Beauty Code Way is designed to create this sense of safety and self-awareness. Through structured practices and guided support, to help you reconnect with your body, reclaim your power, and begin rewriting your narratives.
By the end of the program, you will have the tools and resilience to go deeper into these realms of healing, addressing the deeply hidden beliefs that impact every moment and breath you take. From this place of clarity and strength, the real work of transformation begins—creating a life that aligns with your purpose and your highest self.
This journal entry and teaching are just the start of what’s possible when you embark on this journey. Healing is not just a process of becoming—it’s a process of remembering who you’ve always been. Let’s take the next step together.
With love,
