To find your inner glow,<br />
you must have an<br />
open mind.<br />
In my Jan/Feb Pub Page, I explained how happy I<br />
was to be back in the saddle. I’m a workout junkie<br />
again and thankfully, I hauled my lame ass back in<br />
the gym and got reacquainted with cardio and muscle-building<br />
equipment. Whew, that was close.<br />
Would hate to be a fraud, putting out this magazine.<br />
Not sure I’d have the same readership numbers if I<br />
called this magazine Cankles Monthly, or worse<br />
yet, PhillyFAT – your local connection to junk food.<br />
This time around though, I’ve added a few tricks. Maybe I don’t have<br />
to go at it alone, my old-school way of doing things. I have an<br />
accomplice and her name is Luisa Rasiej, an "energy healer" (Now<br />
wait, don’t judge) who is doing some work on me. Work, what the<br />
heck does that mean Well, she’s concocted a custom amalgamation<br />
of essential oils, some psychology recipes, but primarily, an ability to<br />
feel the energy within me, and help me move it around and clear out<br />
the weighty, meaningless clutter – optimizing it, or should I say, me!<br />
This has me dancin’ in the aisles, I must admit! I’m not jazzed about<br />
how strict I have to be with my scheduling, adding yet another<br />

appointment in my daily grind, but I am super psyched about how<br />
good it makes me feel, so I do. Seriously, if I described the first<br />
experience where she literally pulled me (Well, my energy) back<br />
“into” my body - you’d all write me off as a whacko, for sure. Let<br />
me just tease you with the fact that I had no clue what she was<br />
doing. Her hands never touched me. She just used the energy<br />
within her own hands and hovered them under my feet, when all<br />
of a sudden I felt that feeling we’ve all experienced when driving<br />
your car over a high bump/hill too fast – and your stomach goes<br />
“whooooop” at the unexpected sensation of losing your lunch. Just<br />
then, I sat up and said, “Oh my Gosh, did you just pull my feet,<br />
pull something, move me” I knew she didn’t, but I was so<br />
shocked I actually felt something; I just had to ask! Her reply was<br />
a quiet smile along with, “No, Jami, I have not touched you, as<br />
you know. I had to pull your energy that was hovering above you,<br />
back ‘into’ your shell. Back into, you.”<br />
Let me explain. Luisa is the proud founder of “THE INNER<br />
CONTESSA.” She’s a certified energy worker/natural healer and<br />
she’s actually helping me move past my emotional blockages. I<br />
can’t help but wonder if I was born with these darned ‘things’, or<br />
if they are acquired through life’s ups and downs. You know, I’m<br />
in demolition mode with life’s road blocks, and I have a feeling<br />
many of you can relate. For the first time, in a long time, I’m<br />
uncovering a certain visceral clarity that lets me live life as a<br />
whole, complete being again, rather than a discombobulated<br />
creature, sort of fragmented and all over the place, just tryin’<br />
to get through Friday. Sort of explains that high-energy, balls-inthe-air<br />
way about me. Who would’a thought<br />
Luisa gingerly pointed out that because my life (during the past<br />
few years in particular) has been so, um…choppy, so erratic and<br />
all-consuming, I have, by default, elected to mentally vacate my<br />
own body. “It all starts from a root” though, Luisa reminded me,<br />
many moons ago. I can’t blame issues of recent times totally; it’s<br />
an accumulation of sorts. After spending some time with me, she<br />
discovered that it actually started when I was about five years old.<br />
She could see I had “moved around a lot as a child” (which is<br />
totally accurate, and no I did not tell her anything about me at this<br />
point.) “You didn’t, and still don’t, know where you belong!”<br />
Hmm, interesting. According to Luisa, perhaps this is the start of<br />
what has been a long, sometimes amazing and sometimes almost<br />
unbelievable, rocky road.<br />
So back to that “energy hovering around above my body” stuff for<br />
a sec. I essentially “checked out” to some degree, to enable me to<br />
deal with all the emotional garbage I had subconsciously decided I<br />
couldn’t handle anymore. I (my inner energy, my being) was living<br />
a life outside my physical structure, outside my own intuition<br />
and beliefs, outside my spirituality. Essentially, I was having an<br />
out-of-body experience because my mind, body and soul were not<br />
on the same plane. She said I was living in my “spiritual plane,<br />
which hovers above my head, because that is where I find trust<br />
and comfort. I have too much “pain” that has caused me to flee<br />
my own living physical self/shell. I found a safe haven in this<br />
place – and I don’t seem to want to come back inside of this hard<br />
earned, somewhat physically fit “shell” I have worked so hard to<br />
keep strong! Sigh. What on earth was I doing vacating the very<br />
thing that keeps me alive—my body!<br />
People look at me and probably think something like, “Boy, she’s<br />
really got this workout thing licked.” I only say this because I hear<br />
it from all kinds of folks having simple conversations with me,<br />
often asking what I do to keep fit. I have to remind myself it<br />
would be inappropriate to shout, “NO, no really, don’t give me so<br />
much credit, my parents deserve the credit for decent DNA. I am a<br />
ping pong match with fitness just like the rest of America!” But I<br />
remember to smile and instead graciously say, “Thank-you for<br />
noticing, this is what I do.” I admit to feeling embarrassed that<br />
someone is seeing something that I am not feeling about myself. I<br />
question my own genuine nature. For the most part, I am trying<br />
hard to keep up good habits and be good to my body. I plan on living<br />
in it for a long time, no matter if Luisa says I prefer to be “out<br />
hovering above it” or not. I know she is right, that I am choosing<br />
to do that, but I am trying to convince myself that I’m not. I<br />
wouldn’t. I couldn’t.<br />
It’s never been more obvious to me that I need to balance<br />
being tone, with peace of mind. I need to connect my inner<br />
bicep with my inner chi.<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
I know what you’re thinking. Jami has gone off the deep end big<br />
time. But those who know me well understand that I’ll try just<br />
about anything once, especially if it’s a stop on potential journey<br />
to my ultimate happy place. Healers get a bad rap.<br />
They’re actually not charlatans or quacks, but real people, passionate<br />
about balance and living a whole life. Basically, they just want<br />
to help others find comfort. That’s the most simplistic way to put<br />
it.<br />
When I walked into Luisa's natural healing studio, I didn’t know<br />
what to expect at all. Everything looked normal. Phew. I’ve<br />
always had a fear of the unknown (I guess we all do). But honestly,<br />
I wasn’t sure if we were going to do voo-doo or mu-shoo and I<br />
had to go poo poo. Were we going to burn incense and chant<br />
Were we going to hold down dog for forty minutes Were we<br />
going to play the flute Drink detox tea and pray What Was she<br />
going to hypnotize me Make me look at crystals Would I have<br />
to take a strange purification bath Perform rituals and customs<br />
from a strange underground third world country Would we hold<br />
hands, bang drums Would I have to eat nasty herbs or take a<br />
strong, non-FDA approved herbal tincture under my tongue<br />
Would she try to break me down Would I cry in front of a complete<br />
stranger Was all this just hocus-pocus or legit panacea<br />
To make matters worse, I had no clue what I was feeling on the<br />
inside, let alone what I was going to be feeling once our hour session<br />
headed towards its final act. I was vulnerable and miles away<br />
from my comfort zone. Was my life going to drastically change<br />
Or, what if nothing happened all Was I even capable of being<br />

“healed” or was I destined to remain hanging, damaged<br />
beyond repair on the clearance rack of irregular people<br />
I just wasn’t sure if my expectations were realistic and more worrisome<br />
was the idea of unveiling my tattered soul to someone I didn’t<br />
know. It’s no secret I have trust issues. I would be perfectly<br />
fine to trust no one except myself for the rest of my time on<br />
earth— but that’s a lonely existence and not really who I am at the<br />
core. And, I am exaggerating a bit too – I am one of those “too<br />
trusting people” who always gets herself in a jam. I think what I<br />
am trying to say is I admit I need to learn just when, and when<br />
not, to trust. That would be more accurate.<br />
So, there I was, sitting across from a woman known as “The<br />
Contessa" (and not from Housewives from NY). I did research her<br />
online to make sure that she wasn’t an axe murderer. Still, I had<br />
my reservations. Did I want to 'let her in' or maybe just chill for a<br />
bit, and open up next time There's always a next time I rationalized.<br />
I just wasn’t sure if my insecurities were Open For Business<br />
per se.<br />
Luisa initially asked me, "So tell me, why are you here, Jami"<br />
Man, she was so angelic looking. She had a sparkle to her eyes<br />
that sort of made her glow. Sheesh, was she some kind of seraph<br />
right in front of my very own eyes I have never seen this before –<br />
except when I look at my own children of course – the perfect<br />
cherubs they are. Her tone and cadence were comforting and her<br />
non-verbals were calming from the get-go.<br />
“Ah yes, that’s the $25,000 question Luisa," I replied.<br />
I'm cool and in control, I told myself. She didn't flinch, nor<br />
respond. She wasn't buying my stall tactics for a nanosecond. Her<br />
eyes pierced mine. She forced me to look at her and not down at<br />
my shoes, where I was happy hiding behind a door in my mind<br />
with three deadbolts.<br />
Just then, a few irreverent words leaped out of my mouth. I couldn't<br />
hold them back no matter how I tried! I felt like a can of Diet<br />
Coke that had just been shaken up. Pandora’s box was ready to<br />
explode into millions of particles. I knew that if I opened it, it<br />
would be impossible to get it back, sort of like when uncooked<br />
pasta falls out of the box onto the floor.<br />
"It's time Luisa. It's 'just time, " I choked.<br />
A small, telling tear dropped from my eye, then one from the other<br />
eye. I was silenced by my own ill attempt at keeping it together.<br />
That was all I said! She looked at me, I could almost see myself in<br />
her eyes, like a mirror - and I looked well, pathetic. I was having a<br />
crisis moment with my own identity—shattered dreams and tattered<br />
relationships. I began to unwind and not in a good way.<br />
“Time for what Jami”<br />
(Gulp.) I really didn’t know, not sure why I said that, but in my<br />
head I managed to come up with an answer that question. But<br />
nothing would come out of my lips. I wanted to say that I had<br />
never felt so alone. I wanted to say that I didn’t really know<br />
myself, and so unlike the ME I’ve always known. I wanted to tell<br />
her what and who I wanted to be when I grew up. But there I sat<br />
in complete bewilderment in the realization that I had already<br />
grown up and that time had in evaded me. I wanted to know how I<br />
got here, to her studio, and why.<br />
“I want to believe in myself and trust myself again. It’s time to get<br />
MY life back.” Geez did that sound stupid.<br />
“I am at the crossroads so to speak, Luisa. I am looking for a traffic<br />
light, but there is none. I’m looking for the dotted white line on<br />
the road, but there is none. I’m looking for windshield wipers to<br />
clear the way, but they’re not working. I fill my tank with premium<br />
gas over and over, yet it always seems to be on empty.”<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
After four weeks of intense, life-changing energy work sessions<br />
with Luisa, I realized that I needed to become whole again, trust<br />
myself and it wasn’t going to be quick, easy nor was she able to<br />
do it for me. She explained that life’s hurdles were put there to<br />
make people realize that they need to trust themselves…trust their<br />
instincts. She was there to give me someone to trust, to guide me<br />
and to move my roadblocks out of the way so I could sense within<br />
myself how my life was to be from now on. My journey of trust<br />
commenced with her. I was off to a good start.<br />
My first lesson learned about healing began with an understanding<br />
that just because I couldn’t, or chose not to trust someone, didn’t<br />
mean that I couldn’t trust others, let alone myself and my choices.<br />
Which sort of echoes a favorite quote of mine: “To the world,<br />
you’re just one person, but to one person, you may be<br />
the world.”<br />
So, I tipped my toe into the healer arena, sue me. I dared to go<br />
there. Now what I needed more. I needed a 360-degree approach<br />
to healing. Ping-pong, semi-sappy conversations about broken<br />
hearts and mending hearts wasn’t going to do the trick. I knew<br />
that. I sought out to add to my bag of tricks other people, and<br />
experiences, which could help me become whole again, head to<br />
toe, inside and out, this time ‘round. The trendy life coach thing<br />
was the perfect start for me a couple years back. It was the first<br />
time I admitted I needed someone’s help, as I didn’t believe in my<br />
own decisions anymore. But I needed a team to put humptydumpty<br />
back together again (eh, yeah, that would be me). I now<br />
needed a program that was powerful, transformative and aweinspiring.<br />
Simply put, I knew it was time to believe in ME again.<br />
Maybe I am not quite the fool I have been thinking I was. I am<br />
now one hundred percent committed to trusting myself, listening<br />
to my conscious, and paying attention to all the signs my angels<br />
leave for me daily, to help guide me through good times and bad.<br />
Take one healer, one trainer, one herbalist and mix with a damn<br />
good nutritionist I thought. Hmmmm This was going to be way<br />
harder than bench-presses. Why wasn’t I happy just reading EAT<br />

PRAY LOVE like every other woman that I knew<br />
Thank goodness for eight years of building (<strong>PhillyFIT</strong>) connections.<br />
I whipped out my address book and bingo: Susie Beiler -<br />
she is my ongoing “oils gal” now. She’s from Spectrum Health<br />
Consulting and is a walking/talking gorgeous essential oil within<br />
herself. Then added my new herbalists helping me out from<br />
Bunn's Health Food store in Southampton, PA. Man, can someone<br />
just lock me in that store overnight, and let me play What a magical<br />
place for finding every health and healing need in the world!<br />
My new sandbox! Then my <strong>PhillyFIT</strong> Chef, John Fairchild, continues<br />
to feed me amazing recipes and nutrition tips, along with<br />
the redheaded beauty and Vegan chef/TV star Christina Pirello.<br />
She too provides me with the utmost in healthy recipes and<br />
insights that I like to think I am ready to embrace whole-heartedly.<br />
Not a shabby team to make my health and healing goals my reality!<br />
And, I can share them with my entire family; all seven of them<br />
are on board with me! I’m not nearly as alone as I had<br />
thought I was.<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
Think today’s essential oils are nothing but snake oils Think<br />
again! Today’s products are custom tailored to soothe, calm and<br />
nourish. I personally use the following popular oils, but this will<br />
change from month to month according to my needs.<br />
“Thieves” – I am using Young Living Oils: highly effective in supporting<br />
the immune system.<br />
“Valor” – great for balance and to align the body.<br />
“Harmony” – well, for what the word says a more harmonious<br />
life, physical and mental well being.<br />
“Joy” – for more happiness in my life (the dishwashing liquid didn’t<br />
cut it. Ha!) This oil creates magnetic energy and joy to the<br />
heart.<br />
“Breathe” – an amazing concoction that allowed me to ditch the<br />
rescue inhaler (totally helps my breathing as I have asthma).<br />
“Lemon/Orange Jolt” – It gives me a spirited lift and is very<br />
cleansing.<br />
I truly believe in splendid aromatics and mystical powers of<br />
pheromones. I think the power of smell goes along way – it’s<br />
almost like listening to a song – a mood changer. It’s like acupuncture<br />
for wussies. Again, it may be a placebo affect, but I really<br />
don’t care. The point is that I’m doing it for me and it’s working. I<br />
rub the oils on my feet... so nice!<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
And now onto the nutrition component.<br />
I am very happy with the veggie protein powders I’ve found at<br />
Bunns and also at Whole Foods, this one in particular has a gazillion<br />
fruits and veggies. It’s called "RAW Meal" and contains<br />
twenty-six Superfoods, RAW Organic Sprouts, Seeds and Greens,<br />
and thirty-four grams of protein. It totally helps satisfy my relentless<br />
hunger. I mostly take it as a breakfast before my workouts so<br />
I get through an active day without starving and losing concentration.<br />
And, I don’t eat much meat, so this is a great protein source<br />
for me. It’s really the gasoline that makes this car run. It gives me<br />
the zing that I need, especially when that 3:00pm hour hits and<br />
I’m jonesing for a Snicker’s Bar. It fills me up and makes me feel<br />
like Wonder Woman!<br />
Next, I swear by the "B" vitamins for energy and a women’s mega<br />
multi-vitamin. And Omega 3’s, I know there’s no such thing as a<br />
miracle pills, but when I take these nutrients I feel turbocharged.<br />
This is a good thing because I’ve been working out three times a<br />
week on average. Once I got back to regular exercise.<br />
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *<br />
So, I’ve got the healer, the oils and some darn good nutritional<br />
habits going on but there are still some healing things I want to<br />
incorporate as the weather gets warmer and the clothes show more<br />
skin. Ugh. Here are few things on my healing bucket list:<br />
Yoga<br />
Massage<br />
Zumba<br />
Chi Gong breathing exercises<br />
Spend quality time with my children<br />
Retail Therapy (yes, I’m a sucker for a nice new sundress and<br />
strappy sandals. Whatever!)<br />
Going to church on Sunday (don’t laugh)<br />
I came across this quote recently and it really resonated with me<br />
so I thought I’d share it with my loyal <strong>PhillyFIT</strong> readers. Enjoy.<br />
I want to really, really live. I want to laugh til my stomach tightens<br />
so much that it aches and my legs hurt from my slapping them.<br />
I want to cry from my gut and let the tears wash me to where I need<br />
to go. I want to hear the singing of my heart. and let the sounds<br />
echo inside me and I want to dance to that music.<br />
I want to fill with compassion and touch someone's face so gently<br />
that they can feel the caring in my fingertips. I want to love so<br />
deeply that my cells vibrate with it and just standing near me you<br />
can feel the buzz of the vibrations.<br />
I want to know that I'm worthy and good and<br />
I want to leave self doubt on the highway.<br />
I want to touch the sky and recognize my soul in it.<br />
I want to walk in the rain and drop to my knees in gratitude for this<br />
gift of life<br />
I have been given.<br />
MayI never ever forget what a gift it truly is.<br />
— Teresa St. Cloud<br />
This spring, dance to that music and heal! Write me and tell me<br />
what you do to heal - I’d love to know!<br />

I'm new to the area and just discovered<br />

Hello,<br />
I stumbled across your magazine<br />
a few months ago and I was<br />
very impressed. I just wanted to<br />
say, keep up the great work.<br />
I constantly use to try to<br />
always stay focused on my<br />
exercising, it’s often hard to fit<br />
in dedication to exercising with<br />
my demanding schedule. Your<br />
magazine allows me to remember<br />
everyone goes threw the<br />
same struggles and just keep<br />
trying. I'm a choreographer and<br />
I struggle with eating the wrong<br />
things even my job demands me<br />
to stay fit. Food is tempting and<br />
I am blessed to dance as a profession,<br />
otherwise I wouldn't be<br />
fit. When I work out with my<br />
clients I let them know my<br />
struggles to let them know that<br />
it's just as hard for me as it is<br />
for them. I want them to know I<br />
know their struggles equally and<br />
we will get this done together.<br />
Please keep it coming. I love<br />
your articles, discounts and<br />
deals. And what I love best is<br />
that everyone is local. I just feel<br />
that I can relate to them more<br />
than the world fitness magazine.<br />
Thanks for keeping me Fit!<br />

pages you wrote not long<br />
after your daughter was born<br />

been reading since then! Even<br />
then, you seemed to be in tune<br />
with something I was going<br />
through. Thank you so much for<br />
publishing your magazine! I love<br />
it. How do you do it ALL<br />

I just read your Publisher’s Page<br />
article while sitting at CHOP<br />
waiting for my son’s appointment.<br />
GOOD JOB, again I love<br />
your “matter of fact, no bullshit”<br />
style of writing! I just sat<br />
there smiling as I was reading<br />
it, nodding my head…as if I was<br />
in a conversation with you. My<br />
son would look over at me<br />
(while he was in the middle of<br />
his physical therapy exercise)<br />
and say “Why are you smiling”<br />
I replied, “Oh, it’s just Jami….”<br />

such interesting and inspiring<br />
