Something is stirring within.

Maybe you are feeling restless, scattered, unfocused?

Maybe you are feeling the strange pull of time as we are suddenly sucked toward the last few months of this year.

Maybe time feels like it is always slipping away from you in a never ending slide.

Maybe you have been too busy to notice, after all ...

haircuts, oil changes, work and school supplies have been the priority.

Or 

have you begun to notice the subtle shift in light each day or the leaves beginning to change on the trees.

perhaps you have started to get in bed earlier, felt the desire to make soup and turn inward?

maybe you have started to feel like it is time to slow down, shift gears and watch more sunsets?

 
It might not be an either/or situation. In fact, life rarely is.

But there is a remedy for all that late night scrolling, discontent and uncertainty.

There is a cure for your disconnection, distraction, unease and fear.

It is time to tend our inner gardens. 

Your own inner landscape and wisdom is profound.  

YOU are the expert on you. 

I know it can be hard to get to that place within, where you can trust yourself and feel deeply connected to your intuition. 

I know that life can feel so loud and busy, that it may feel physically uncomfortable to BE with yourself and your inner inquiry or knowing.

It makes sense, the world is fast and loud and confusing and there are things on the list of To Do's that never seem to get done.

It's OK. It is OK. You are ok, as is. Right now. 

We are all doing our best right now.

What I am finding is that the more I clear things out of my space and my life that are draining my energy, the easier it is to tune into those quiet whispers, within.

As much as I want someone to do it for me....and boy do I!

I know that the places I can get to, when I do the deep work of excavation are all the more powerful.

I know this too, we can't do it alone. We need support and connection.
Someone to hold the space for our learning.
Someone to guide us to the places we need to look at most.

We need a witness, someone to reflect and someone to be our cheerleader.

Seek these souls out. Make a commitment to yourself and the ever unfolding beauty of your future self.

For now, and until then, perhaps put some attention to the energy leaks in your life and consider ways to remedy them. 

Maybe go to bed early or watch a sunset.

Ask your body what it knows.

Listen.

This is your intuition in action.

~You may already be a sensitive, empathic, intuitive, and connected person.

~You may already use intuition to make decisions and to enhance your experience of life but maybe there are times when you doubt it or second guess it.

~There may even be times when you don't feel clear or get conflicting messages.
 

• Did you know that your intuition is actually like a muscle that can be developed and strengthened?

 

• Are you looking for ways to feel more connected to your intuition?

 

• Do you have a hard time making big decisions?

 

• Have you been looking for ways to connect more with your intuition beyond meditation alone?

Intuition is a skill that can be built step by step.

Full access to your intuition can be restored.

Your life can be full of synchronicity, magic and deep inner listening.

Having access to your intuition is your birthright.

As the planet gets more chaotic, confusing and loud it will be more and more important to be able to listen to that deep inner knowing that is your intuition in order to navigate more skillfully what lies ahead.
 
I am wondering what your relationship to your intuition has been?

Is it something that you would like to connect to more in your life?

What kinds of things get in the way?

Here is one of my favorite poems from Irish mystic and philosopher, John O'Donahue

May his words weave a blessing through you this season!

Beannacht / Blessing

On the day when
the weight deadens
on your shoulders
and you stumble,
may the clay dance
to balance you.

And when your eyes
freeze behind
the grey window
and the ghost of loss
gets into you,
may a flock of colours,
indigo, red, green
and azure blue,
come to awaken in you
a meadow of delight.

When the canvas frays
in the currach of thought
and a stain of ocean
blackens beneath you,
may there come across the waters
a path of yellow moonlight
to bring you safely home.

May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
​
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

I was working with a client, the other day and she asked how to calm her anxiety before bed as she was having trouble sleeping.

​I think most of us can relate to this. The spinning thoughts and body tension that can follow us into the sleeping hours. 

Sometimes we can be awoken by our minds in the middle of the night, and it will keep us up for hours.

That tension, shallow breathing, worry, anxiety, fear, restlessness...these are all signs of a Nervous System on overdrive.

This feeling can come from current situations, past experiences, past traumas, future thinking and more (being human)!

This is a common thing I work on with people when we are doing Energy Healing, we clear out stuff that often disrupts our inner peace such as other people's energy, outdated beliefs and disregulating energetic patterns, to name a few.

There are many ways to help calm our nervous system, I think you will find the exercise below a helpful tool for your "increased enjoyment in life" toolbox.

As promised, here is a Quick Tip to help you regulate your Nervous System, to help you feel calmer, more hopeful and to help you sleep better.

Dr. James Gordon in his book The Transformation, calls this technique "Soft Belly".

• From where you are right now, close your eyes and begin to breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. 
• Let your belly be soft and full and expansive.
• Begin to let your body and mind relax.
• Start at your feet and work your way up imagining all the muscles relaxing.
• If your mind begins to wander, let them come and go and bring your mind back to the words "soft...belly.." or any other words that feel soothing.
• Allow yourself 10-20 minutes.
• When you are done let yourself come back to the room by opening your eyes

Let me know if you try this and how it goes!
In gratitude,

As the Winter Solstice approaches and the darkest part of the year begins it's slow spiral back to the light...
​
We are tasked with going into that dark and hollow place that resides within the quiet of this season.

We are invited to inhale and exhale as we embrace the dark part of the year and begin to feel the reemergence of light.

I have made a very special Winter Solstice Meditation just for you!

Do you believe in ghosts?

When I was a kid, I lived in an old farmhouse in the middle of nowhere. There was a great big red barn behind the house and 100 year old cottonwood trees all over the property.

All the homes in this area were separated by acres of land. The nights were bright with stars and the days filled with the sounds of insects and birds abuzz in the trees.

Every year in the late fall, enormous orb weaver spiders would build webs that hung from the eaves over every window. 

Our house was a ranch style home that had a basement.

Part of it was finished and part of it was not.

The unfinished part was windowless and filled with stuff: 
old toys from childhood, my parent's year books, boxes of books, forgotten furniture, heirlooms and more. 

In the farthest back, right corner of that room was a door. 

(not actual childhood basement)

As teenagers, we thought it was 'fun' to go into the outer room and close the door and turn off the lights.

The game was to see who could last the longest before getting scared.

I can still remember how the darkness had a presence, that seemed to press in from all sides.

It was so pitch black, you couldn't see anything. Not even your own hand in front of your face.

The worst part was knowing that doll was there, too. 

If someone felt really brave, they would go into the shelf room, but that almost never happened.
​

Then, one night after we had played the "game", my friends and I were hanging out in the basement (in the finished part).

We were talking and laughing and having a good time, when it was time for a snack refill. 

No one else was in the house at the time, just me and two other friends.

Two of us went upstairs leaving Corey*, in the basement. ALONE.

Amy and I were in the kitchen when Corey came running up to find us. He was flustered.

"I just heard you calling me...."

'We weren't calling you.'

"No, I heard you calling to me....from that BACK ROOM, I thought you were playing a trick on me."

"We have been up here the whole time."

"I heard a voice, coming from the back room calling my name."

"IT WASN'T US!"

...

Needless to say we did NOT go back into the basement that night.

​

No one wants to talk about grief. Do you?

What comes up for you when you hear the word?

Maybe you have even decided to skip reading this newsletter because you are thinking "this doesn't apply to me".

Maybe you are thinking you don't want to read about grief right now because there is too much intensity going on in the world.

But I would ask you, dear soul, how can we not talk about it?  ​

I don't need to name all the loss, the collective trauma we have all been through these last couple years. Both personally and globally. 

What I am asking, is for you to expand your awareness and to simply find and name your grief. 

Under what name, is it hiding within you? 

Perhaps your fear or anxiety or overwhelm is masked grief?  

Your restlessness, your rage, your frustration?

Your disillusionment, your addictions, your over spending, over eating, over consuming, over thinking...?

Could these be your way of coping with the unnamed grief, swirling within you?

The origins of the word grief come from Latin, meaning-heavy or grave, and from the Old French, meaning-burden or encumber. 

Is there anything within you that feels, heavy, encumbered, burdened?  
This, is your grief. 

Trying to suppress grief can prolong its process. Grief is its own animal and moves through us each in our own unique way. We need to give it time and permission to express and release.

There is profound healing in being brokenhearted and in engaging in the grieving process.

For one, it cracks us open, to let in new possibility. 

For these troubled times, I would offer, that it is imperative to be whole AND broken at the same time. 

To grieve, means allowing the release of the old and expanding your capacity, even within the uncertainty. 

Let yourself be stretched. 

Let's acknowledge our collective grief and let the world crack us open right now.

Let's all, let loose a collective, keening wail to be heard across the planet. 

May this sound reverberate at a healing vibration....let the sound and the acknowledgement of what it is- stir us to action, to awareness, possibility. 

Grieve like your life depends on it, like all of our lives do. 

Because, if we give grief its proper place, its proper name, perhaps our confusion turns to wisdom and the brokenness turns to gold. 

Perhaps something lightens and lifts off our weary hearts just a bit, guides us forward, through the pain, the difficulty and gives us the strength for that moment, to take one more step. 

Expressing our grief and allowing it to move through, making room for it, creates more space for joy, for presence, for awe, for beauty and also for doing the necessary and dirty work needed.

If you name it, you can heal it and that may be our most important task of all time. 
The old coping mechanisms aren't working.

Let's try this.

Let's do it together. ​
