Knowing Awareness
Signs of my Expanding Awareness 2022
This site is deeply rooted in expanding awareness to create the life of your dreams. Based on the writings of Deepak Chopra, the educator created this infographic to share the knowing of awareness's expansion. Perhaps, you will experience your expanded awareness differently as we are all a unique expression of the universe and co-creator of our world.
Signs I am Enough 2016
My initial exposure to the writings of Deepak Chopra was during the unexpected trauma of my first born child's diagnosis of bone cancer. My life was turned upside down and I needed to grow my understanding of the body and how to live with the news. The book titled, Reinventing The Body, Resurrecting The Soul, by Deepak was revealed to me and saved my spirit that summer. Since then, I continue to evolve through Deepak's writings and my Chopra training in the ways of an Ayurvedic Lifestyle. During my daughter's treatment, I was inspired to create for her this graphic. I hope it inspires you to know that you too are enough just as you are in this world.
Why Awareness?
Awareness appears to do nothing in its invisible state. Yet, awareness supports transformation of the conditioned mind and body. Awareness is a powerful force that moves stuck energy. The magic of awareness is waiting for you to notice. It is the greatest agent for change. So, ask. "What do I wish to change?" Wait, and notice what is revealed through your awakening to awareness.
As you expand your awareness for something you really desire to know, your mind and body respond accordingly. Awareness and energy are the foundations of our body and compliment each other to bring about well-being and healing.
Awareness exists in many states within our mind and body. What is known as distorted patterns of behavior also begin in awareness. The distorted behavior begins as a war with awareness. The kind of awareness at the thinking level where you know eating the entire sleeve of the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies will result in feeling ill; yet, the force to stop eating is not strong enough.
How do you stop the war of awareness that leads to conditioned behavior and unhealthy patterns? By transcending the old energy and allowing new energy to be created. Discover ways to unconditionally love yourself and allow a new energy to be integrated into your being.
Begin with the body as its energy transforms easier than the mind. Learn to connect with your body through breath, yoga asanas, and/or moving meditations like T'ai Chi Chih or walking in nature.
Learn to set healthy intentions for the qualities you desire to grow from within. Give these intentions your attention while releasing their outcome to the universe. Wait and see what gets revealed.

The Multiple Dimensions of Awareness
The Discover and Grow Book Club explored the secrets of life during the winter of 2023 as written by Deepak Chopra in his book titled, The Book of Secrets - Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of Your Life. Secret 9 reveals to its readers the multiple dimensions of awareness. Each chapter of this book includes activities to take the reader from thinking about the writing to engaging with the writing as it relates to their personal reality. JoEtta explored each of these dimensions according to the activity's direction. This graphic represents her actions or intentions to fully live in each of awareness's dimensions. How will you live to experience all the dimensions of awareness?

Discover who you are as you inquire from within with resilience to create a contented life free of doubt and fear.
All LOVE BEGINs with Love of SELF
You are a unique creation of the universe. As such, you are in this world to manifest your dreams and hopes with the energy of love as it emanates from within your essence. Allow this energy to empower you to realize your full potential NOW.

"Allow the dark energy to be free so the light energy can shine. Behind the distorted image of the dark pine, the golden energy of the aspen is revealed. Ready to shed its leaves for the year, the aspen welcomes the unknown newness that unfolds from letting go". -- JoEtta Heck

Deepak describes unhealthy energy which manifests into dark energy as energy that is stuck, frozen, ridged, brittle, hard, out of balance and associated with negative emotions. Dark energy is expressed as the negative emotional energies of jealously, anger, anxiety, depression, hostility, grief, humiliation, embarrassment, frustration, guilt, shame, and arrogance.
