Evening Wind-Down Practice to Prepare for Sleep
A short practice of breathwork, restorative yoga, and meditation to help your body wind down for a good night’s rest. I recommend practicing the final breath and relaxation for at least 10-11 minutes or until you feel yourself start to deeply relax. Props: A bolster or pillow, blanket Suggested music: Playing Max Richter’s From Sleep album during this practice will add the extra brainwave effect for deep calm.

All is well within the light of your soul.It’s difficult not to fear for or worry about others, but we all have our own journeys to take, our own lessons to learn.

New moon in Taurus tarot/oracle reading
Key words: trust, truth, discernment, freedom, change, redirection, setbacks, possibility, creation, self-sovereigntyThese cards speak of facing the truth of a situation. The eight of swords depicts a woman who feels that she is trapped, but in reality, she is not. If we perceive something to be true, we begin to create that reality through our thoughts and energetic projections. Even if it feels that you are constricted, you can still access the sense of freedom and self-sovereignty that comes from the pause.Transformation sometimes feels like...

Libra Full Moon Tarot Reading
Key words: trust, sovereignty, play, introspection, platitudes, resistance, clear seeing, choice, shameThis reading is all about what we are expressing and how we are expressing it. It is also asking us to be mindful of how we receive the words of others. Justice is the fair result of actions and intentions, and in the space of the Queen of Swords, this relates to the embodied action of communication and of the power of words. The more we read something, for example, that offers a particular point of view, the more that belief becomes engrained...
Message from the Akashic Records: 4/6/2020
I felt called to open the records this morning to receive guidance on some of the difficult energies circulating at this time. Here is a snippet of what came through:“Inside of the space, there is a well of light. Inside of your mind, there are only thoughts of right or wrong, do this or do that. Inside of the heart, there is only truth and being.“Your beliefs create your reality, in all things. Trust your wisdom to know the truth. If you believe something to be true, strongly enough, it will be so. If you believe something will work, it wi...
