One of my first experiences was quite profound and unexpected. While working energetically with a private client, I psychically heard that her home and property were in need of deep cleansing. I told her what I heard and she immediately said “will you do it?” I said sure. I had never been to her house and knew nothing about it and wanted it that way. I continued to receive information about what was needed including that it needed to be started on the next new moon day. I gathered the things I was guided to bring and went to her house. It is a large, historic house surrounded by an impressive iron fence. I noticed the fence had sharp pointed spikes all around the top. I went in the gate and sat down right there and began my process.

Going through the picture boxes and looking at my life was a very intriguing process. On some level what I was doing was unpacking my life. Does that make sense? At first I was looking at the pictures with a particular filter if you will. But with time, the filter changed and eventually I hope it will be lifted entirely so that I can see things just as they are.

Death is an uncomfortable topic for most of us and often a painful experience we struggle to make sense of and accept. When I decided I wanted to launch my blog platform talking about death, I had no idea just how poignant that was going to be or how much death I was going to face.

After a string of deaths, I found myself in a vulnerable state, raw and depleted. It was clear to me that anyone could easily slip into a state of despair and depression or find themselves with PTSD.

Kundalini. Most of us have heard this word but really aren’t sure what it is or what it means. I’ve found that it is a very misunderstood concept, process and energy. In the broadest sense of the word, all yoga is about kundalini. But like many other very big topics of this kind, there is a lot of misinformation and unfortunately a lot of people who really do not know what they are talking about. Another topic that falls into the same category is chakras.

I’ve been talking about the elements on the last few blogs. This may be an area that you really haven’t ever thought about. But the elements are the basic building blocks for so much of the world we know. To me it’s fundamental information. And having it helps us to use the interconnectedness of creation to create more balance, harmony and joy. For me, those are about the best reasons I can think of.

My last blog was about the earth element so I wanted to give the water element equal time. The elements permeate everything! Including your astrology or natal birth chart as it is also called. Each sign is associated with one of the elements earth, fire, water, or air. So for instance, I’m a scorpio which is a water sign.

I want to talk about the energy of the element of earth. It can be the hardest one for many to “feel” because we have been vibrating with the earth element since we were in the womb. So, it’s an energy we know very well and are very used to which can make it easier for us to be less aware of it because it’s always there. I hope that makes sense.

I want to talk about the need to honor the food we eat today. Idk about you but as a child at the family dinner table, someone was always asked to say a blessing. And we of course, were not supposed to eat anything until everyone sat down and the blessing was said. At all family holiday gatherings it was the same only instead of one of us kids saying the blessing, one of the adults got that job. I didn’t mind saying the blessing most of the time but sometimes I said it really fast.

Today's blog is about something we all experience from time to time. Yes, the dreaded disappointment. During one of my journey experiences I realized that a part of me expected people to disappoint me. That was a biggie for me. I know that if I expect that, I will not be disappointed. Haha! We must understand that if we expect things to be a certain way, we are holding a kind of container for that to happen.

Today I want to talk about crystals and stones. They are one of my favorite tools and I am always using them for a wide variety of purposes because I can so clearly feel their support. Recently, one of my good friends and clients offered to allow me to use their cabin in the mountains of NC. It is a magnificent log cabin with a spectacular view, very secluded and comfortable.

Today I want to teach a simple breath awareness  technique. Breath practices are called pranayama in Yoga. Let's take a minute to better understand the word pranayama. Pranayama is the next rung of the ladder of Raja Yoga coming after asana or posture. Often pranayama is referred to as simple breathing practices but it is actually much more.

I want to talk about a view that really changed my life. During my yoga certification, I was introduced to the idea that my body was a temple. This concept changed so much for me and fueled my personal journey to have a sparkling clean temple in honor of the great boon I was given of having a human body.

For me, plant medicine includes anything that comes from the earth that is used in a conscious, purposeful way from food and natural supplements to cacao as a facilitator for personal exploration to magic mushrooms and ayahuasca. Many of us have heard of ayahuasca and psilocybin or magic mushrooms.

There is more I’d like to share about plant medicine. This is a broad topic and ranges from natural supplements to cacao to ayahuasca. And yes, I’ve experienced all of those and others. I’m grateful for them as the teachers I know them to be based on my personal experiences. As far as I’m concerned, food is also part of that category.

Today I wanna talk a little today about plant medicine. Plant medicine is the oldest kind of medicine. Long before science got involved and we were more in tune with nature as a civilization, what was found in nature was used to correct imbalances and heal conditions.

I’ve gotten numerous messages from my guides to practice automatic writing. So here goes. Today I want to talk about truth. The truth is a big deal right? We all want the truth from others, from institutions, from authorities, from those we elect, from our spouse, friends, family, workplace and more.

My long time boyfriend, Mark, died unexpectedly in September 2020. This is not my first blog about it. Needless to say, it was a traumatic experience that truly rocked my world. I would definitely say it takes a lot to rock my world and I guess I needed to be reminded on some level that it was possible.

Elimination. Poop. Doo doo. Number 2. Whatever you want to call it. Regularly checking in with yours is a good idea. I know, it’s a weird topic but based on how many people suffer from some sort of digestive disturbance, it’s time to start talking about it a little more openly. We all poop right?

There’s an over abundance of talk about self care these days which to me is kind of silly. I mean, yes, you have to take care of yourself! That seems obvious to me. I look at things a little differently. I see these routines as self love and self knowledge.
